[My head is spinning, Mihoyo! You’re stuffing details in here again! ]
After the cg, the players continued to move forward with the main quest, and waiting ahead was a familiar figure.
[It’s a big duck! ]
[It’s not Brother Jie? ]
[Brother Jie is watching the gate. We came through the "secret passage" and of course we met Big Duck! ]
[Why do I feel like something is wrong with Big Duck? ]
Chapter 23 Yuyu's Player
The players were still discussing how big the plot changes were, but it wasn’t until the plot was triggered after talking to Bronya that the players were truly silenced.
Such tragic sacrifices only brought about the stabilization of a line of defense, and they also have to be on guard against the invasion of world-ripping monsters at any time... It's really hard for these Iron Guards.
After the conversation with Bronya, you can choose to continue talking to the Iron Guards. There are two NPCs you can talk to. One is the sergeant of the second squad. After talking to him, he will thank you for saving the second squad. Under the helmet, you can't see his expression, you can only feel that he is in a bad mood.
The other character that can be talked to is an iron guard lying on the ground.
After talking to him, only a piece of text will be left.
"The snow fell on his armor and piled up in heaps."
After the conversation, the name of this Iron Guard will change to "The last member of the first team".
[… …]
[To be honest, I am starting to feel a little uncomfortable.]
[Me too…]
[well… …]
Unexpectedly, this time the players did not continue to play various tricks, but sighed in unison.
… … …
Kakaya Live Room
Kakaya looked at the iron guard lying on the ground in silence, and just picked up the cigarette box beside him silently.
"Pah..."
Fortunately, he was not a real person on camera, and there was a virtual image to help block him. Otherwise, this would be enough for the super administrator to close his live broadcast room.
[What sound?]
[Leave the children alone.]
[Black A follows one...]
[Gui A also comes with one.]
The province name plus the area code floated across the barrage, and for a moment, Kakaya didn't want to continue pushing the plot.
He lay on the gaming chair, looking up at the ceiling. The cigarette between his fingertips had burned out a lot at some point, but he seemed to have forgotten and let the air share the half cigarette.
I don’t know how long it was, until a heat was about to burn his fingers, Kakaya finally realized it and threw the remaining small cigarette butt into the ashtray, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Hey, why not just use the previous plot? Laughing and worry-free, letting San Yue Qi and Ye play around might even make them happy, but you did this..."
Kakaya wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes, feeling a little helpless.
[Yeah... How old is this game? ]
[It's well written. Don't write it next time. It's a waste of smoke.]
[Indeed (pop) (light a cigarette)]
[Alas... Considering the previous plot settings, these Iron Guards are all heroes.]
[Don't spoil the plot, there are still things that everyone doesn't know, please seal it up! ]
[In that case, let me tell you a joke! ]
"The Wind Agency has been banned"
[Housing manager! Well done!]
[Yeah, it's already cold enough, and if you tell a joke, we'll be even colder.]
"Oh... Let's keep going."
… … … … …
"This is... the palace of the Great Guardian? So beautiful!"
March 7 looked at the solemn and majestic palace in front of him and couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
"This is Klipper Castle, built by the first Great Guardian, Alisa, to praise the greatness of the great Star God Klipper. This is also where the Great Guardians of all generations work and stay."
Bronya introduced them to everyone.
"After we go in, we will be able to meet Beloberg's most authoritative guardian, Cocolia Rand."
When her adoptive mother was mentioned, Bronya's eyes dimmed, but after seeing the pioneer team, hope rekindled in her gray eyes.
"I have tried to persuade the Grand Guardian before, asking her not to let the Silvermane Guards be sacrificed for no reason, but she refused me and said it was for Beloberg."
When Bronya thought of the Iron Guards who died in front of her, she suddenly felt a suffocating feeling slowly strangling her throat.
She was the one who let down those Iron Guards who sacrificed their lives. It was she who... personally sent them to [destruction].
"… "
Looking at Bronya biting her lower lip and looking sad, Winder winked at Xing. Xing looked confused, but he still understood what Winder meant, and walked over and patted Bronya on the shoulder.
"Um...thank you, let's go."
As if she felt Xing's comfort, Bronya regained her spirits, her eyes filled with determination and resoluteness, and she stepped onto the stone steps of Klipper Castle.
"?"
Xing scratched her head in confusion. Did she... do something
Silently giving Xing a thumbs up, Winder followed Bronya's footsteps and walked towards the white castle.
"I didn't realize you were quite good at comforting people."
March 7th said to Xing in a very unexpected tone.
"Uh... it's okay..."
Xing said helplessly, looking at Winder with some resentment in his eyes.
Why don’t you do such a good thing yourself? Why ask me to do it
The guards guarding Klipper Castle saluted Bronya as soon as they saw her, and ignored the pioneer team behind her, which shows how noble Bronya's status is.
As the adopted daughter of the Great Guardian and the leader of the Silvermane Guards, Bronya's prestige in the Upper Town of Beloberg is unquestionable, second only to the Great Guardian!
Pushing open the heavy door, the palace of the Great Guardian opened before everyone's eyes.
A blonde woman sat behind a high desk, staring calmly at the people who slowly walked into the palace.
On the originally white right arm, there was a blue mark that seemed to have merged with her flesh and blood, but the woman did not care.
"Bronya, didn't you lead the Iron Guards to guard the edge roads? Why did you suddenly disobey orders and come back? And you brought a group of guests with you."
The woman stood up from behind her desk. The sunlight shone through the window behind her and shone on her body, giving people a very oppressive feeling.
"Lord Great Guardian, I'm begging you to take back your order. The Silver Mane Guards are already short of manpower. If this continues, the entire Beloberg will be in irreversible danger!"
Bronya spoke sternly to Cocolia. After experiencing the blood and battlefields, she was no longer the indecisive Bronya!
"Your plan is pushing Beloberg to the brink of destruction, so please take back your life!"
Seeing that Cocolia remained silent, Bronya stepped forward again to advise her.
"Bronya... My daughter, do you know what you are doing now? Disobeying military orders and returning to the main city is a serious crime, and colliding with the Great Guardian in Klipper Castle is a capital crime! If you were not my daughter, you would have been thrown outside the city wall long ago..."
Cocolia's expression was as cold as frost, and a cold wind blew faintly inside the hall.
Chapter 24: The Corroded Man (revised version)
Looking at Cocolia's performance, Winder secretly thought that something was wrong.
The woman in front of him seemed to have lost some of her sanity under the erosion of the star core. Otherwise, as a great guardian, she would never speak so mercilessly about her own daughter in front of outsiders. It seemed that things were a little tricky.
Touching the container in his arms, Winder thought to himself.
"I… "
Bronya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cocolia.
"That's enough! Do you still want to embarrass yourself in front of a bunch of outsiders?"
Cocolia turned her gaze towards the pioneering team with a look of disdain.
"Outsiders, visitors from outer space, right?"
Before Winder and others could speak, she spoke on her own.
"I am Cocolia Rand, the Great Guardian of Beloberg. I wonder why you outsiders are here after seven hundred years. Tell me, I am listening."
"Tsk, this is so different from the one in the original plot. Now this one is completely not pretending, right?"
Winder complained secretly, but on the surface he put on a smile and bowed slightly to the arrogant Cocolia.
"Respected Great Guardian, we are the salesman of the Interstellar Peace Company. I came to your place this time to recommend you an excellent drink. We hope to reopen the trade route with Yalilo No. 6."
Amid the bewildered expressions of the people behind him, Winder spoke very respectfully.
"Wende, you whine..."
March Seven was about to ask Winder what he was doing, but Dan Heng, who had already sensed something, immediately covered March Seven's mouth and looked at the great guardian above with a serious expression.
"Oh? Merchants... Oh, show me your products. If they pass my test, I will let you sell them in Beloberg."
When she heard the word "commodity", Cocolia's expression became even more disdainful. She tapped the table lightly with her corroded blue fingers and said to Winder with contempt.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Guardian."
Winder took out a metal container from his arms, which seemed to contain some liquid.
"Put it down. I'll make the decision after you leave."
Glancing lightly at the container in Winder's hand, a hint of mockery appeared on Cocolia's face again.
"Bronya, settle these guests who have come from afar. As for the crime you committed, I will not blame you. From today on, your position as the acting leader of the Silver Mane Iron Guard will be temporarily handed over to someone else. I hope you can reflect on yourself during this period of time."
Playing with the metal container presented by Wind in her hand, looking at Bronya who was indignant below, Cocolia said slowly.
Winder turned around and walked down the stairs, then frantically winked at Bronya and the pioneer team, signaling them to leave quickly.
"In that case, Great Guardian, we will take our leave first."
Having said that, Winder strode out of Kripal Castle with everyone.
"you… "
"Shh!"
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Krippenburg, Bronya wanted to question Winder, but Winder stopped her by putting a finger in front of his mouth.
"I know you're confused, but this place isn't safe anymore. We need to find a place where we can talk!"
Ignoring Bronya's questioning, Wind quickly walked towards the main city area.
Although the other members of the pioneering team were also confused, they had no choice but to follow Winder.
"… "
Bronya stood there, not knowing what she was thinking, and then resolutely chased after the pioneering team.
… … …
Inside the Goethe Hotel, Winder, who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, hadn't even had a sip of water before he was surrounded by March Seven, Xing, and Bronya who had just run into the house.
"Wende! What are you doing? How did we suddenly become the Interstellar Peace Company? And we are the department that only knows how to sell home appliances!"
San Yueqi pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.
