"Clipperburg still starts work at seven o'clock?" Jiang Fan picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, the schedule has never changed. Are you going to find Lord Cocolia?" Jeppard hesitated.

"Well, that's not Lord Cocolia, that's your sister-in-law." Jiang Fan stood up and patted his shoulder, turned and walked towards the house.

Jeppard's heart moved, Master Cocolia is his sister-in-law, and what about elder sister Siluwa...is she elder sister? Or sister-in-law?

Chapter 55 The end of the path

It was already dark outside the window, and the turbulent rainwater made winding and branching traces along the dome skylight. The rain gradually stopped. Cocolia stood by the window and looked into the distance, with some complicated emotions in her eyes.

There is actually no good scenery outside the window. They have seen the entire scenery of Belloberg for more than ten years and have long memorized every plant and tree here. There are only endless snow and tall buildings, as well as towering towers on the border. city ​​walls, nothing more.

Xi'er stood quietly at the foot of the steps. She didn't understand why her mother stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside. Was it to watch the rainstorm that was gradually subsided? Or the streets of Belloberg after the snow melts? Or look at the sky blocked by dark clouds?

Anyway, in her opinion, the only places with good scenery in Belloberg are the Golden Opera House and the Clover Couple Amusement Park, but no man can catch her eye, so she always takes Bronya to Clover. It's an amusement park for couples. Anyway, there is no law in Belloberg that prohibits people who are not lovers from entering, and she is not afraid of others gossiping.

"Have you always been curious about what I was standing at the window looking at?" Cocolia withdrew her gaze and broke the silence.

"Well, is mother looking down at the entire Belloberg?" Xier said softly.

"Yeah." Cocolia's slender fingers gently swept across the meandering traces of rainwater on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and memories appeared in her eyes, "Twenty years ago, the Golden Opera House was still bustling with people, and I would go there at six o'clock every morning. I would get up, wash up, and dress up carefully. I would stand on the steps of the Opera House holding a book, and while reading, I would quietly look up at the crowd, expecting someone to pass by me."

Cocolia tilted her head and smiled softly. Xi'er's expression was startled. She had never seen her mother show such a happy and sweet smile. Is that someone very important to her mother? Is he my mother's lover?

Xi'er was silent, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and almost all kinds of speculations came one after another.

"That path is the only way from the Landau family to Belloberg College. Whenever I raised my head and pretended to look at him casually, he would always smile and nod to me. I felt busy at the time. The hour was not wasted, and I even felt that I was in a good mood that day.”

Xi'er hesitated for a while and then said cautiously: "Landao family? Is it Aunt Xiluwa?"

Cocolia ignored her and continued talking to herself: "To this day, I often return to the steps of the Opera House, longing to meet him when I look up. But even if I stand from early morning to dusk, that road His shadow will not appear on the path. What I miss and love seems to turn into clouds and disappear in the sky."

Cocolia's eyes were blurry, as if her thoughts had drifted to the end of that distant time: "Loving someone is not easy. You have to stand out among millions of people and overcome many obstacles to get to him."

Cocolia paused, walked to the desk and sat down, looking directly at Xi'er: "Do you believe there is a power in this world that can tamper with everyone's memory, or even cover up the traces of his existence?"

"Tampering with everyone's memories? Even the power to cover up traces of his life?...Does this kind of power...really exist?" Xi'er couldn't believe it.

"Of course, there are too many unknown forces in this world." Cocolia said slowly, "Do you think what I said is all in the clouds and you can't understand what it is?"

"Well, I really didn't understand. Who is the person you are talking about, mother?" Xi'er admitted honestly.

"He...he is your father, the eighteenth generation guardian of Belloberg. He is the genius of the Landau family who was known as a genius when he was young...and he is also a person who is recognized by the world. Forgotten people.”

Cocolia took a deep breath, with firmness in her pupils: "Xie'er, you have not been interested in social etiquette since you were a child, and you even sneered at the topics of politicians, so I adopted Bu when you were young. Ronya, choose her to be the successor of the Great Guardian, I hope you will work with her to support the sky of Beloberg..."

"I have been thinking a long time ago that I have to make a choice between the world and him. I chose him without hesitation. Even for him, I can subvert the whole world and become an enemy of anyone. That's how people are, the same To some people the individual means the world, but to others it doesn't matter whether they live or die."

"But then I understood that parting is actually like this. The shadow of the person who leaves first will be dragged on the ground, very long, no matter how you chase it, it will be useless... This world is what he loves, and he will protect it to the death. ’s...how can I overthrow what he loves?”

"He is like the sun. It is both the setting sun and the rising sun every moment. When he is extinguishing and walking down the mountain to collect all the desolate remaining light, it is he who is burning on the other side and climbs to the top of the mountain to spread the fierce morning light. At that time, one day I will follow him quietly down the mountain, and that day, he and I will finally meet each other. Walking like that, I will not be lonely at all, and I will also be protecting everything he loves."

"Life is a long, long journey. My journey with him has reached the terminal. It's time to get off the bus, but your journey has just begun. As a father, he has fulfilled his duty, As a mother, I have fulfilled my responsibility, and the future path depends on you and Bronya, including Belloberg’s path as well.”

Cocolia paused, tenderness bursting out from the depths of her pupils: "This is the last thing I can do for you, living alone... is really tiring..."

Xier looked at Cocolia blankly, she opened her mouth to say something, she wanted to say, mother, how can you be lonely? Bronya and I are always by your side. She also wanted to ask about her father. She vaguely remembered something, but it was very vague. She wanted to ask everything clearly.

But suddenly a strong sense of dizziness hit her, and she took a few steps back uncontrollably. There was a buzz in her mind. Her eyelids were heavy, and her consciousness slowly dissipated. At the end, she tried hard to open her eyes. She wanted to see something, but in a daze, she vaguely saw a tear streaking across her face.

"The spring you promised has still not appeared, leaving me alone to love the world for you."

[What kind of ending can match the ups and downs along the way? 】

[Everything has an end, but longing does not. I am walking on this lonely road looking for your shadow, and want to look at the same night sky with you - Cocolia]

I could have published this chapter in the afternoon, but I found an AI artist who wanted to draw the picture, and ended up drawing it for me in 30r to support my defense...

Chapter 56 Heavy Snow

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky outside the window was a little gloomy, the potted flowers were blown wildly, and countless snow fell from the sky, so big that it seemed to submerge the entire Belloberg.

Jiang Fan stood up carefully and tried not to wake up the sleeping Xiluwa. He took off his pajamas, folded them and put them at the end of the bed. There was a brand new white robe hanging in the cabinet, with the Landau family embroidered on it with blue needlework. The clan emblem was ironed flat and without a trace of wrinkles.

He put on his robe, arranged it briefly in front of the mirror, and finally tightened his white belt. The whole process was meticulous and quiet without making any sound.

He glanced at Xiluwa and confirmed that she was still asleep before opening the door and walking out, humming Jay Chou's song "The Clock in the Opposite Direction" softly in his mouth. When he passed March 7 and Xing's room, The morning number rang again by chance.

Jiang Fan gently pushed open the door of the utility room and walked in. After turning off the alarm on his cell phone, he placed it directly on Xing's forehead. She was sound asleep, and she didn't even frown. What did you dream about?

Jiang Fan didn't care about her, he just picked up the quilt from the ground and covered the two of them, closed the half-open window and walked out the door lightly.

It's strange to say that when he had not decided to meet Cocolia, his mood was so complicated, as if all the tangled emotions in the world were pouring into his mind, but the moment he made up his mind, There is only joy and relaxation left in my heart, and even my steps become lighter.

After yesterday's heavy rain, this city in the snow was still covered with dark clouds. The sky was gloomy, as black as night. All the sunlight was blocked by the black clouds, and only wisps of sunlight shone on the earth.

The streets were still empty, and it was almost impossible to see people walking on the streets. The bakery opened early, and the aroma of wheat baking wafted along the cold morning wind, adding a fireworks atmosphere to the city. , Occasionally, a train passed by him, and there was no one in the carriage, but it was just swept by with waves of wind and waves.

Wearing the white robe of the Landau family, he walked up the huge stairs in front of Clipper Castle almost unimpeded. Even if the iron guards looked sideways, they would immediately turn their heads and no longer have any more questions. After all, the Landau family's clan is The emblem is the best pass. As a family that has firmly supported the great guardians of all generations, they have the special right to meet the great guardian without notification.

Jiang Fan had walked this several hundred meters long staircase many times, but for the first time he noticed the magnificent buildings beside the steps and the giant disk of Clipper Castle, which represented the highest technology of the city builders. Crystal, in the current state of Beloberg, it is almost impossible to create a second Clipperburg.

He once heard a writer say that when you really want to leave a place, you will remember the beauty of the place, remember every plant and tree in it, and remember every corner of it, even if it is remote. Alley, you can also find reasons to praise it.

Time has passed, and he has to leave this land, set foot on the other side of the starry sky, and explore the unknown universe. It stands to reason that he should be very sentimental now, and maybe he will dig out a layer of snow and put it in a glass bottle because of the situation. It is said that this is the snow from my hometown. Even if it turns into water, it is still the water from my hometown. Belloberg is with me.

But now he doesn't have the slightest sadness of parting. Maybe this is young people. The sky for young people has no limit. This is their unique momentum. Few young people cry when they say goodbye and look back. Nostalgic, they will only move forward towards the unknown journey ahead, bursting with passionate expectations. Maybe the places they are going to are hometowns they have never met.

There is no rule against bringing family members on the Star Dome Train. After all, it is a pity that such a big train has empty rooms. Even if there are not enough rooms on the train, the space station of the Black Tower Rich Woman can always pack up a few rooms for him. ? Do he and Heita still distinguish between you and me?

When he thought of the Black Tower, Jiang Fan couldn't help but shudder. He always felt that some kind of danger was slowly approaching him, with a biting chill. It felt like a long knife pressed against his waist. No. I know when to poke you.

Jiang Fan shook his head to get rid of all the thoughts in his mind, pushed open the door of the Clipperburg Hall and walked straight forward along the slender corridor. The walls along the way were hung with murals of the great guardians of the past. He was tired of looking at the photos, so naturally he would not stop to look at them. He only stopped when he passed by the mural in Cocolia and stared at it for dozens of seconds before reluctantly moving. pace.

Engraved on the metal nameplate under the mural is the words 'The 19th Great Guardian of Beloberg - Cocolia Rand'. She in the painting is still as gorgeous as when Jiang Fan left. Zhengmao, her beautiful face is full of perseverance, and there is her handwriting in the corner of the mural.

"What determines a person's life and entire destiny is just a moment. Being forgotten is the real death."

Jiang Fan pushed open the door of Klipperburg's office. The room was a little dark. The lights in the room were not turned on. With the dim light, a figure could be vaguely seen lying on the table and chair.

He did not turn on the light in the room, but gently closed the door and approached the figure with gentle steps. The ancients often said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. It makes sense, but is Cocolia too diligent? He actually stayed up all night and slept on the table.

Jiang Fan gradually moved closer to her, and the man's face gradually became clearer. His steps suddenly faltered, and his eyes were full of doubts. The person lying on the desk was not Cocolia, but that girl Xi'er. Could it be that The sun rises from the west? Xi'er also holds a candle at night? Want to overthrow your title of the biggest pillow?

When he was about to take off his robe and cover Xi'er, a letter on the table caught his attention. The paint on the envelope had not yet completely solidified, and it looked like it had just been applied. There was something written on the envelope with a black pen. The writing, 'My dear daughters. ’

He unconsciously stopped taking off his clothes, reached out to pick up the envelope and opened it. Inside was a piece of yellow letter paper that had been folded several times. The black writing on it had not yet dried up. His eyes scanned line by line from top to bottom. , the pupils gradually dilated, flashing with real anger and panic.

He tightly clenched the envelope into a ball in his hand, looked back at Xi'er one last time, and then ran wildly into the heavy snow.

The Silver-maned Iron Guards stationed outside Clipper Castle were stretching and looking around. At this time, someone suddenly rushed into their field of vision. A staggering running man was the man from the Landau family. Before they could Stepping forward to stop him for questioning, the man stopped the car on the side of the road, almost violently pulled the man out of the car, then stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the endless snow.

......

Happy Dragon Boat Festival. My family has a gathering today, so I haven’t been at home since the morning. I can only come back in the afternoon to catch up. The 41-degree sun almost killed me. The next few chapters are the climax. I am looking for an artist to draw illustrations, so It took me a long time to polish each chapter.

I was reading book reviews today and found that some readers said that I was deliberately titillating, saying that I wanted to get rid of the novice novels... In fact, this is not the case. From a certain definition, online novels are all novice novels, and what I write is also novice novels. I write I didn't mean to show off when I wrote those sentences, nor did I want to break away from the white text. I just wanted to share it with you through the reasonable plot of the novel. It may have caused misunderstandings among some readers and made you feel that I was deliberately showing off and pretending to be innocent. And different, sorry, I will pay attention next time.

I’m not keeping half of the memories of Cocolia and the others in their simulation just to whet your appetite. Moreover, I don’t think the purpose of the simulation is to watch the female protagonists fight for the male protagonist and tear them apart. Other people’s simulations are about female protagonists. The main thing is to tear it apart, does my mock article have to be like this?

I don’t think I’m procrastinating on recovering my memory. This book only has 55 chapters, not 500. I spent less than 20 chapters on recovering my memory. Isn’t it just to whet my appetite?

Finally, I would like to thank the readers of this book for their support and understanding. I will speed up the work next month while ensuring quality, thank you.

Chapter 57 The Crawler of Hell

(The BGM is self-playing. I recommend the sad and beautiful ones. If you have any recommendations, you can leave the song title.)

Cocolia understood a truth many years ago. If a person wants to do something that is truly true to her heart, she can often only do it alone.

Life is actually a long journey. Most of the journey is boring and tedious. It is a cyclical road with no end in sight. For her, that beautiful journey has drifted away from her, but Xier and Bu Lonia's journey has just begun. Changing the status quo is not to destroy the old, but to build a new one...

She would walk his way down the mountain again, follow his traces, and meet him again. In fact, sometimes people live for such a moment, for the morning sun and the bright figure in their memory.

As soon as she thought about this, she suddenly felt a little relaxed, as if some heavy burdens on her shoulders were finally lifted. Many years ago, had he been like herself, standing in the heavy snow that seemed to never stop, looking out alone? Looking at Belloberg, letting the strong wind sweep by, his eyes are still firm?

"Star Core... It's time to settle the matter, the world should open a new chapter, and this cold wave should come to an end." Cocolia took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Love is destined to be a tragedy, and it must end with death. You had the opportunity to become the controller of the new world order, but you broke the promise between us. Is it worth sacrificing your life for a dead man?" Star Core's voice echoed on the altar.

"You are a star core. Of course, there is nothing worth risking your life to protect. Therefore, in the course of seven hundred years of history, your temptations are like children's language. It is ridiculous and ignorant. You think that for seven hundred years I’ve come to understand all human emotions, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

She stared closely at the star core above the altar, her pupils shining brightly. She untied her robe and threw it in the strong wind, revealing the bright silver armor. In her hand was a spear made of black ice, filled with a penetrating fragrance. chill.

At this moment, she was so heroic and radiant. I couldn't imagine how popular Cocolia was when she was young, but she just hung on the towering tree like Jiang Fan, letting others look up at her. With sadness in my heart, I could only silently sigh that this was a match made in heaven.

"You have underestimated the power of the star core and overestimated your own strength. For seven hundred years, all the great guardians have been helpless against me. Do you think you can destroy me with this gun in your hand? An ant shaking a tree is overestimating its own capabilities. "Xinghe snorted lightly, with ridicule in his words.

Although the power of the star core has limitations, it is not completely without solutions. Cocolia is the best candidate for the parasite in its mind, but it is not the only choice. It has a more powerful and destructive weapon. body, but the unstable factor in it is its only concern. It is afraid that it will eventually become a wedding dress for others and become the nourishment for his resurrection.

"You also underestimated my determination... you underestimated the power of protection..." Cocolia shook her head and whispered, the black ice spear in her hand slowly melting, as if it was being burned by some kind of flame.

There were faint heat waves in the air. As the black ice on the spear melted, the blazing flames began to burn violently. It was like a beast trapped in a cage breaking free from its restraints and beginning to roar unscrupulously. The soaring fire greeted the sky. The strong wind flowed into the sky, dissipating all the dense dark clouds, and wisps of warm sunshine fell on the earth again.

Cocolia took a deep breath, and the bones in her body made a crisp sound. All the past events were left behind. She was ready to die, just like him many years ago, facing those who tried to harm Belloberg alone. The source of the disaster was that the wind and snow were filling the air at the moment, and the howling wind was from the sky to the earth, but she felt that the world was lonely, and the overwhelming warmth came to her.

Her fingers slowly passed over the flame spear, staring at the lava-like gun body, "Is this the power of preservation? The spear of preservation... the flame spear."

The moment she saw Yan Qiang, she suddenly had the illusion that Jiang Fan was always by her side. The feeling became more and more intense, and she almost shed tears in sadness.

Time has passed, and she is no longer the little girl who needs to be protected by him. She is the great guardian of Beloberg, the heir to the will to protect, the person who tens of thousands of people need to rely on, and the one who wants to protect the so-called The calamity roars, overthrowing its men.

Xinghe stared directly at the flame spear in Cocolia's hand. The four words "Sky Fire Unsheathed" crazily emerged in its consciousness. It recognized the spear burning with flames, which was once in Jiang Fan's hands. It was a powerful thing that once pressed the Lord of Extinction in its hand and was breathless. It was not sure whether Cocolia could also use the "Sky Fire Unsheath" move, but it didn't dare to gamble.

"Kokolia! Do you really want to fight me to the death?" The star core was about to move, and a certain death atmosphere filled the altar.

Cocolia did not answer it, but gripped the spear and flew towards it at high speed. The flame that once shocked the star core once again swept across the sky. Such a monstrous flame was simply a world-destroying fire stream, and half of the sky was covered with fire. Roasted red, like boiling water.

The star core is close at hand, and the flame spear is approaching it at high speed with the Senluo fire. Just when the flame spear in Cocolia's hand is about to penetrate the star core's body, a figure suddenly rises from the snow. The black fluid blocked the star core, and the flame gun collided with his body, making a loud roar, and the two people were instantly bounced away by the compressed air fluid.

Cocolia rolled around in the snow, using her flaming gun to land on the ground before struggling to stop. She raised her head and stared at the figure that was bounced away. She turned her head and spit out the blood clots in her mouth.

There is no doubt that the power of the flame spear is very powerful, but that figure can actually withstand the impact of the flame spear and the raging flames. This undoubtedly makes her heart heavy. The compressed fluid just now exploded. It was like being hit by a cannonball in the front.

"Kokolia! You are a lunatic! Wouldn't it satisfy you to embrace a world with him? You are responsible for all of this. Beloberg will perish in your hands!" Star Core scolded in a low voice, The figure that was bounced away floated in the air again.

The star core flew down with the strong wind and merged with the figure. At this moment, the strong wind fell from the sky and tore apart the bricks of the altar. The rich black gas flowed into the sky against the blizzard.

Cocolia only felt that an extremely terrifying power was rising at a high speed, and some extremely rich and overwhelming aura of death was vented outward from the figure, rushing out like a torrent of steel.

"Back!...Back!..."

Some kind of hoarse sound echoed between the sky and the earth, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the thunder was deafening, as if something crawled back from hell dragging its mutilated body, and it came back to this place with some kind of vengeful fury. In the world, it wants to use its last strength to overthrow the sky, roaring and announcing its existence to the world.

Jura opened his mouth and smiled ferociously. This extremely weak and mutilated body came to life in an instant. Every joint opened like a valve that had been re-opened. The power of the star core surged endlessly in his body. The death energy is tearing at the star core like a ghost.
