Chapter 21 Conversation in the "Perpetual Motion" Mechanical House
"what are you talking about!"
Cocolia pushed her friend away, with a hint of imperceptible shyness in her tone.
"You old pervert, Shiluwa!"
Xiluwa spread her hands nonchalantly, "Who told you not to see me since you blocked my funding last time?"
"I thought our great guardian was going to use her supreme power to lock me up in this mechanical house." Xiluwa walked back and forth, shaking her fingers, her tone full of ridicule.
"Uh..." Cocolia turned her head away, looking embarrassed. In fact, there was already a report banning Shiluwa on her desk, but she hadn't signed it yet.
"Ah, no way." Seeing Cocolia's hesitation, Shiluwa showed a look of horror.
"Cough, cough!"
Seeing that the situation was about to develop in a direction he could not predict, Yao Luo quickly interrupted the awkward atmosphere between the two.
After all, he still wanted to know why Cocolia brought him here.
After Yao Luo's reminder, Kokolia returned to her usual seriousness and said, "Let's talk inside."
Seeing Cocolia's serious expression, Shiluwa stopped laughing and turned around to lead the two of them into the machinery house.
The internal structure of the machinery house is more amazing than it looks from the outside. Gears of varying sizes, whether decorative or not, are dancing in irregular shapes, like a continuous and uninterrupted piece of music.
The owner of this room obviously has a great appreciation of aesthetics. In every corner of the room, various plants and potted plants are placed in an orderly manner. Yao Luo even saw a small pot of cactus among them.
Mechanical tools were scattered on several large tables, and in the middle of the room, on a load-bearing column, various parts that could not be named were neatly arranged. It seemed that this was where Shiluwa often worked.
"What exactly do you want from me this time?" Not only Yao Luo, but Shiluwa was also a little worried about Cocolia in front of her.
Ever since Cocolia ascended the throne, this good sister who played music with him no longer has the enthusiasm and passion she once had.
His heart seemed to be trapped in a piece of ice that would not thaw, and he began to become incomprehensible. Until recently, a surprising discovery came out in a subject that Shiluva was researching, but Cocolia seemed to have touched some taboo and sealed up all the results of this subject that was once closest to her.
He even didn't want to see her again. Shiluwa thought that the two of them had completely broken up and there would never be a chance of reconciliation.
I didn't expect that she would come to my house on her own initiative today, and brought a man she didn't know with her.
In fact, Shiluwa's previous teasing was not all a joke. She really thought that at her age, Cocolia might have been deceived by some philandering man. However, she didn't really believe it in her heart. After all, apart from her status and position, no one in the circle she was familiar with could suppress Cocolia's personality.
So Shiluwa was happy to be able to communicate with her again.
"Yao Luo, do you know the history of the city of Beloberg?"
Yao Luo shook his head. Although he had had basic communication with Natasha in the lower area, he actually didn't know much about the history involving the underlying settings.
Cocolia looked between the two people and started a conversation between the two people she could trust at the moment.
"More than seven hundred years ago, the antimatter army invaded the planet and devastated all living things." With a sad look, Cocolia seemed to be recalling something.
"And at the critical moment when the Great Guardian built Beloberg, the ancestor made a wish to the most important and mysterious treasure on this planet."
"What wish?" Yao Luo felt as if he was about to encounter the truth of the matter.
"Star core."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Luo's heart skipped a beat. The star core, the star core he was looking for was indeed related to the upper area.
"What our ancestors promised us is the power to defeat the Antimatter Legion."
"And the price of this power is the cold wave that is now sweeping across Beloberg."
"So the current cold wave is actually caused by the ancestors of the first generation of city builders?" Yao Luo was also very shocked by this result.
"In order to survive, our ancestors at that time had no other way to save the planet." Cocolia's tone was heavy.
Shiluwa remained silent when Cocolia spoke. It was obvious that she also knew the inside story, or in other words, this result was actually obtained through her own research.
Yao Luo took a deep breath. Given the current situation, it can be said that it was a mixed bag.
The joy was that he finally had a clue to what he had been looking for, but the sadness was that the clue was right in front of him, but with his current abilities, even if the star core appeared before him, he would have no chance of sealing it completely.
"Cocolia is willing to share this information with him. Does that mean she might actually have a solution?"
Yao Luo looked at Cocolia, a woman who appeared strong on the outside but was actually soft on the inside.
"Actually, since I took office, the sound of the star core has been echoing in my ears... without stopping for a moment." Cocolia's eyes fell into memories.
"Cocolia, from today on, you will inherit the name of Rand. In the name of the supreme Amber King, I will appoint you as the eighteenth Great Guardian of Beloberg."
The instructor's voice was cold and heavy. Cocolia raised her head slightly and saw the person in front of her whom she regarded as her mother actually smiled incomprehensibly.
Cocolia hadn't seen her since the succession ceremony, and only later did she understand the meaning of that smile.
It's liberation.
When the shadow that had troubled Beloberg for thousands of years appeared upon her, Cocolia actually thought at first that she could handle it.
The inhuman voice has a natural allure, guiding each generation of great guardians to liberate the true power of the star core.
"Go, Cocolia, I will give you everything in the future."
"So...what's the price?"
Everything has a price, and the price given by the star core is...
Just like destroying the antimatter army, destroy the still surviving Beloberg.
Reshape everything and give everything new life.
At first, Cocolia was determined not to agree to such a request, believing that with her own abilities and the guidance of her mentor, she would definitely have the opportunity to solve all difficulties with the efforts of the Beloberg people.
And when she actually went to the ice field in the far north to face the source of the planet's disaster.
She was shaken.
To a certain extent, even though Cocolia knew about the disaster of the Rift, she could not solve it no matter what.
Human power is no match for it.
"In this case, our sacrifice is worthless."
"Since Beloberg's sacrifices over thousands of years were worthless."
Cocolia decided at that time that if she followed the instigation of the Star Core, she must first completely cut off all scientific research that would destroy the Star Core research.
Then, according to His instructions, the lower city area was gradually blocked off.
She originally thought so, but there was still a trace of hesitation in her heart.
This last bit of conscience made her go to the downtown area alone.
And there, she saw her own miracle.
The man who single-handedly sealed the Rift.
