Chapter 234 Unexpected Answer

At night, the joyful sounds of the citizens still linger in the sky of Beloberg.

Topah, who was burdened with great responsibility, finally entered the city of Belloberg as she wished, and now she is in the Belloberg Museum.

People often say that if you want to understand a nation and its culture, you should go to its largest museum, and Topal has developed this habit in his previous missions.

Compared to paintings of unknown meaning and most artifacts with "added value" consisting of history and culture, something furry and cute is more likely to attract Topa's attention.

"Oh, that's so cute!"

Little stars appeared in Topa's eyes. In front of her was a white young ice bear.

The ice bear cub sat there blankly. Even though it was a specimen in a museum, its adorable temperament was still displayed vividly.

And Topa has always had no resistance to such cute little creatures.

"Unfortunately, according to the records of the city builders, this creature had already become extinct on the planet Yalilo VI when the great cold wave arrived."

The sudden voice made Topa pause slightly, and then he spoke to the figure beside him with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Yao Luo, are you always so elusive?"

At some point, Yao Luo's ghostly shadow appeared silently in the venue, without even a breath.

"How could that be? It's just some tricks we used during the festival when we were too busy to handle everything."

Yao Luo smiled politely and handed something in Topa's direction.

A glass of azure champagne with charming bubbles, sparkling with the lights on the top of the museum.

"Try it. In the past, this drink was only available during festivals. Plus, Belloberg hasn't celebrated the Xiguang Festival for decades, so this is a rare sight."

"Um, thank you?"

Topa gently took the champagne glass from Yao Luo's hand. The real glass felt soft and delicate against Topa's white knuckles. Even the sweet taste of the champagne was so clear.

But after what happened during the day, Topa still had some doubts about the "authenticity" of the thing in his hand.

"(I hope I won't be left standing there in a daze this time...)"

After preparing himself mentally, Topa drank the drink in his hand.

At the first sip, it feels like a stream of ice from the top of the snow-capped mountains rushing down your throat, followed by the natural fruit aroma with sunshine spreading. In the aftertaste, the complex taste of minerals and freshly baked bread lingers for a long time.

“Delicious!”

The taste of the drink was a dazzle to Topa, a veteran of many battles and who had tasted countless fine wines in the galaxy.

"Right, but does Miss Topa know how long it takes the workers of Beloberg to prepare a drink like this?"

"ten years."

“Ten years ago, this city was on the brink of war and survival.”

"Every day, their living space is slowly being occupied by unknown fears. Every day, brave and fearless warriors go to the battlefield to fight an endless war."

"But they still believe that the next decade will be better."

Topa saw that Yao Luo's tone became a little serious at this moment, and combined with his tall body, he became the only light in the hall.

The serious atmosphere did not last long, and the venue became bright again in an instant.

"Sorry, I was lost in memory."

Yao Luo sighed and took out a glass of blue champagne that was exactly the same as the one in Toppa's hand from somewhere.

He drank it all in one gulp, turned around and said to Topa formally:
"Ms. Toppa, please come to Cleaver Castle tomorrow. The Great Guardian and I will be waiting for you there to decide the future development of this planet."

"Okay, I will be there on time." As soon as he talked about work, Topa immediately became serious.

"That's good. I have booked the best hotel in the city for Miss Topa. I hope you can have a good rest tonight."

After saying this, Yao Luo's "phantom" disappeared from Topa's sight again.

For some time after Yao Luo disappeared, Topa still looked in that direction for a long time.

She thought of her hometown.

In that place, they had faced the same crisis as Yalilo VI before, so she could fully understand the scene described by Yaoluo.

However, when faced with natural disasters, the rulers of their planet made a completely different choice.

The rich fled on the spot, not caring about the life or death of the poor. Those who were a little richer could have adequate protection measures and food supplies and could enjoy clean water, while the lower class people could only drink dirty water.

"If only we had a leader like this back then..."

Topa sighed, and suddenly she found that after she had savored the bitterness of life, the slightly sweet wine glass still did not disappear, but remained quietly in her hand.

"It's really unexpected..."

In her impression, those who "remember" their fate do not have such means.

the next day.

Although the festival has passed, the vast majority of people still enjoy a seven-day holiday. People begin to visit relatives and friends and enjoy the well-deserved rest given to them by God.

Topa stood in front of the door, looking at the magnificent Clipperburg, which stood like a huge gear in the center of the city, and the engine of creation behind it that towered over the sky and the earth, and sighed.

"With such creativity, they can surely carve out their own path even without the company's help."

The blond, blue-eyed guard officer Jeppard greeted Topa at the door. Looking at this heroic guard, Topa recalled some bad experiences in his heart.

"What's wrong, Ms. Topa? This is probably the first time we meet. Is there something on my face?"

Jeppard looked at the guest who had come from afar with a puzzled look, and there seemed to be some complicated emotions in his eyes.

"It's nothing, you're just worrying too much."

Topa adjusted her mentality. After all, if she told ordinary people what she experienced yesterday, they probably wouldn't believe it, right?

After walking up the long flight of stairs, Topa finally stepped into the office of the Great Guardian.

"Really? We've come a long way..."

The high heels made crisp sounds on the smooth floor, and Topa looked across the bright corridor and saw the person he was meeting at the end.

Cocolia was in the middle, Bronya was behind her, and the real heavyweight was drinking tea at a seat nearby.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Toppa. Did you enjoy your time here?"

Cocolia greeted him in a friendly tone. After all, to her, the Interstellar Peace Company was still the largest economic company in the universe, an existence that Yalilo could not afford to offend.

"Of course, of course, Ms. Cocolia, thank you for your concern. You are more relaxing than I thought before."

Topa accepted the greeting calmly. For her, facing the real Cocolia was much easier than facing Yao Luo.

"By the way, regarding the agreement given to us by the company, after a thorough discussion between Yao Luo and I, our opinion is..."

Topa was confident and waiting for the answer. After these two contacts with Yao Luo, whether good or bad, she could see that he was a leader who loved his country and his people. She believed that he would not refuse such conditions.

However, the unexpected response made Topa's eyes widen.

"Reject this agreement initiated by the company!"
