Collapse of Iron: Cultivating the Star God was exposed, breaking the defense of Ruan Mei

"Hopefully......" Bronya was stunned.

She fell into a brief moment of thought.

"yes, hopefully. Nguyen looked at Bronya, "Do you still believe in hope on the planet where the star god was born?"

"[Hope Star God, Dantès], the people of Beloberg call him Count of the Fire. "

Bronya said softly

"In the cold winter, in the years when the marrow of the earth has not been ignited, the fire is the hope of life. "

"But in this day and age, people no longer believe in a warm burning fire. "

"The spark of hope doesn't seem to be as strong as the shield, at least the shield of the Iron Guard can protect the flesh and blood. "

"Only the younger children clasp their hands and pray to the god of hope Dantès in front of the fire. "

"Pray for the hope of candy, pray for the hope that tomorrow will be better ......".

Bronya paused, and she walked behind the Big Guardian's desk

After that was a fireplace that hadn't been lit for a long time

That was when Fort Cripper was built, before it was designed to be heated with pith.

On the rampart, Bronya has a photograph

It's a photo of her and Cocolia when she was young.

"When I was a little older, my mother told me ......".

"Hope has no value, only preservation can defend Beloberg. "

"The warmth of the fire only makes people weak, but the gunpowder of the iron gun makes it strong. "

"The sacrifices of generations of Great Guardians, Silvermane Guards, and the citizens of Beloberg are the embodiment of this preservation. "

"Is that your answer? Nguyen sat back on his bench and shook his legs.

"Doesn't Beloberg believe in hope anymore?, has the cold wind and snow extinguished your fire?".

“..... No. "

Bronya shook her head firmly

"My mother told me to give up hope and keep my faith. "

But in the end, she also gave up her protection, and in despair she fell to the destruction of nothing. "

"The destruction of the ego, the destruction of Beloberg. "

"At that moment I understood that if there was no hope, even the greatest sacrifice would be a prelude to self-destruction. "

"What is the difference between a sacrifice without hope, a sacrifice that does not believe that the future will be better, and suicide?".

Bronya turned her head and looked at Ah Ruan, who was sitting on the small bench

"The sacrifice of the silver-maned iron guard is not such a lowly thing!".

Her eyes seemed to reflect the scene of leading the army for the first time

The terrifying Phantom of the Elder launched a surprise attack on her

The deadly attack was blocked by a private

And she didn't even see the face of her savior, nor did she manage to bring his remains back to Beloberg.

Bronya kept thinking, thinking about why he had to sacrifice himself to save himself.

But he was only a private, and no one asked him to do it.

Is it mercy? But she is the heir of the Great Guardian and does not need mercy.

Was it feelings? But she didn't even know his name...

"It's hope, once a soldier died in front of my eyes. "

Bronya closed her eyes slightly:

"He moved forward with hope and sacrifice, and he believed that his sacrifice would make Beloberg's tomorrow a little better. "

"Generations of residents of Beloberg have been like this, believing that as long as they are strong and live, tomorrow will be better. "

"I believe that as long as we live, tomorrow will be warmer today, tomorrow will be warmer, and tomorrow will be ..... in a more distant tomorrow."

"The snow and ice will melt and the warmth will be restored. "

Bronya opened her eyes and looked up

She turned to the side behind her and showed Beloberg outside the window to Nguyen

"Ms. Nguyen, Beloberg still believes in hope. "

"This city, which is still trying to stay alive, is my proof. "

Nguyen sat in the carriage of the train, looking out the window at Yalilo-VI.

It's an unremarkable, snow-covered world.

"Is that the first footprint you asked me to follow? "

Ah Ruan looked at the formulas and data floating in front of him

This knowledge, which was recorded in Zhou Xuan's notebook, outlined the real secret.

"Is that why you nurture 'hope' on this planet?"

"You left them a wonderful gift. "

"If they give up hope and are destroyed in a blizzard, this gift will be hidden forever. "

"But if it is...... The inhabitants of this planet can survive with hope and strength. "

"Then they will wait for the gift you have left behind. "

The corners of Ah Ruan's mouth curled into a smile.

Nguyen, who was sitting in Kripperburg, raised his head and spread out the notebook in his hand.

"Actually, outside of that pile of earthy love poems. "

"Uncle Zhou Xuan, he recorded something else. "

Nguyen looked at Bronya

"Perhaps, you will...... Quite interested. "

(All kinds of begging, all kinds of begging, all kinds of begging, !!!).
