Chapter 36 Never meet again
"What? You didn't stop him!"

A roar echoed in front of the familiar desk. Cocolia looked at the letter in front of her, her fingers trembling slightly.

Yao Luo left, and just as the battle report from the front line came, she received this news that made her unbelievable.

The clerk under the table trembled, and held up his glasses that were about to fall off, and said tremblingly: "Lord Cocolia, it's not that we don't want to, but we can't stop Lord Yao Luo!"

Sitting down dejectedly, Cocolia's purple eyes were tinged with a hint of gloom, and she waved her hand, "Back off, everyone, back off."

The clerk slowly moved toward the door. Just as he was about to leave, Cocolia's slightly apologetic voice came:
"I lost control of my emotions. Go home and have a good holiday."

After receiving a positive reply, the clerk closed the door normally and walked away quickly with both legs alternating.

"Oh~" Cocolia held her forehead with both hands, her purple eyes full of worry, because Yao Luo was not going anywhere else, but the forbidden place that they had always been afraid of.

Everwinter Ridge.

Even though they knew that was where the star core was located, the two of them would never rashly go there before they were absolutely sure they could completely destroy the star core.

And now, Yao Luo not only didn't tell her, but also went there alone without anyone. How could she not worry?

"Yao Luo, Yao Luo, what are you thinking about?"

With a puzzled mood, Cocolia opened the envelope in front of her.

A letter Yao Luo left for him.

The slightly yellowed paper looked like the letter had been written some time ago, which made Cocolia even more curious about the contents of the letter.

The yellowed paper is covered with knife-like handwriting, which shows the writer's true self. It can be seen from the letter that the writer undoubtedly put in a lot of determination and perseverance, and carved his heart into the letter.

Dear Xinjia:
Cocolia, when you open this letter, I believe that the Silver Mane Iron Guard must have achieved great success in the war, at least temporarily. (I still have this confidence.)
There is no doubt that the power of the star core does make me distressed, or even helpless. I have told you about me and my past more than once, and I believe you can understand my next action.

There is no doubt about the power of the star core. More than seven hundred years ago, its destructive power instantly wiped out the antimatter army and turned the entire planet into a world wrapped in ice. But at the same time, I can't help but have a question.

If He came to clean up this planet with the intention of destruction, then why does Beloberg still exist? According to you, this destructive force comes from the wish made by your ancestors. I believe that the Great Guardian at that time must have hoped that the star core could help her completely eliminate the antimatter army. But for this planet, the power is too strong, so there is no difference between salvation and destruction.

In the years that followed, He continued to tempt successive Great Guardians but did not take direct action. Why was that? My guess is:
After fulfilling the agreement with your ancestors, his power did not diminish, but was "unable" to be exerted again. How similar is this to the star god who is bound by the "prime power" of fate!

Therefore, the reason why He tempted the successive Great Guardians was not out of His evil behavior, but because:

"He needs a host." He needs a carrier to perform an act similar to "making a wish" to Him again in order to achieve His desired goal.

It has been three years since I came to this planet. In my hometown, three years can change many things. This is indeed the case. Together, you and I have combined the upper and lower districts of Beloberg into one. People's lives have become more prosperous, and smiles have reappeared on the children's faces. Everything has become very, very good.

Perhaps this kind of scenery makes you forget my origin: an unknown traveler who is determined to travel in the sea of ​​stars.

A citizen of Beloberg once asked me: Lord Yaoluo, will you live in Beloberg for a long time? I did not answer that question at that time, because I may have unconsciously had the idea of ​​staying here.

However, when I had such stagnant thoughts, the power of exploration was gradually drifting away from me, just like you who lost your protective heart back then. Am I also gradually changing and no longer the same person I was before?

The monsters outside the city walls are growing stronger with each passing day, even the growth of the Silvermane Iron Guards is visible to the naked eye, but I'm worried, no, I believe that one day, the rift that once invaded the city will definitely appear again.

Now the new area is full of Beloberg citizens. When the Rift erodes again, how many lives will be lost in my hands? The monsters are getting stronger, and it is definitely because I am suppressing the Rift.

During my tenure, I have visited almost every corner of Beloberg. The Natasha you met in the lower district, the children in the shelter have grown up healthily. (Little Bronya wanted to visit you, but you were always busy. Well, so was I...) Natasha set up a free medical organization called "Underground Fire". Even though it has encountered many misunderstandings, it has grown up like a stumbling child, which makes me very happy.

Three years ago, I have been walking with you because of a promise, and now it seems that the time has come to fulfill the promise.

If the star core needs a container, why can't it be me? If my plan goes well, I... may never be able to drink the coffee in your office again... (Actually, the coffee tastes good, but you look so pretty when you smile)

May all be well with Belloberg and you.

A tourist in the sea of ​​​​stars, a traveler, a guard officer of Beloberg, a person who never breaks his promise—Yao Luoliu.

Silent tears fell on the letter paper, staining the yellowed handwriting. A pair of hands clenched tightly, and even though the nails pierced deeply into the flesh and bled, they did not stop. Then, the tears and blood turned into the same thing.

Frozen ice, and a cold heart.

"Carry it on your back..." In an instant, a huge hole filled Cocolia, and she recalled what Yao Luo had said to her in the moonlight three years ago.

One hand slammed hard on the hard table. The pain in her heart made Cocolia have no time to take care of herself. She smashed hard and madly until everything in front of her was shattered. Until Cocolia herself was covered with bruises and fell silently on the ruins of the table in front of her, the guards outside the door arrived just in time.

"Since you carry everything on your own..." Kokolia lay exhausted on the ground, her eyes revealing endless sadness.

"Why...can't you take me with you..."

The hand fell silently to the ground.
