Kevin, but with little Ellie as a male mother on Star Rail

From his own perspective, Kevin could clearly feel that after stepping into a certain limit, an invisible screen covered the entire area, isolating most of the wind and snow.

This is different from the simple heat dissipation of the sun, because it does not actually radiate from the inside out, but it also has its own center - that is, the fortress-like fortress standing in front of the snowstorm and mountains. Huge city.

So, how should we evaluate human beings?Obviously in most cases, their individuals are so ugly and fragile, but in this almost desperate situation, human civilization can burst out with incredible tenacity.

"Welcome to the "City of Preservation" - Beloberg."

When standing under the city-state that was more than ten meters high, Bronya couldn't help but feel a certain sense of pride in her heart, especially in front of Kevin, an outsider, and she couldn't help but introduce this to him. everything:

"700 years ago, monsters from outer space ignited the planet. At that time, the earth became a scorched earth, filled with burning molten fire and boiling black smoke."

"At the moment of life and death, the cold wave suddenly came - the sweeping winds came without warning, and the invading legions were buried in the blizzard. Only Belloberg remains - the determined 'city builders' who built this city. In " Under the protection of Cripper, Belloberg is always warm despite the wind and snow.”

"......"

In Bronya's slightly expectant eyes, Kevin was still as cold as ever, and did not show any expression of shock or emotion. He even turned to judge: "The memorization is good, but it's better to have some self-esteem." insights.”

"Um......"

Indeed, this is actually an original quote from a certain textbook.

This weird scene couldn't help but make the silver-maned iron guards on the side scratch their heads, because they couldn't understand why the always serious Lady Bronya acted like a child who was being scolded by her parents?

"But I also want to know what the protection you are talking about is?" Kevin then asked.

"It is said that it is a great star god who stands on the edge of the universe, and it is also an existence that the 'Builders' believe in. They firmly believe that the 'Amber King' has always been watching Beloberg and has been protecting the people here. ."

From Bronya's mouth, Kevin actually didn't hear much faith in Him.Because maybe in her mind, those who guarded Belloberg have always been the soldiers who fought on the battlefield and built walls for their homes with their lives.

But Kevin could clearly sense that that invisible but majestic energy did exist.Even if he were to come, it would be impossible to protect the entire city for hundreds of years.

But it sounds like, to the "protecting" Star God, this is just a trivial matter that can be easily accomplished as far as the eye can see.

Kevin raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, his gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds and plunge into the vast and unknown universe.

"Star God, it sounds like an amazing existence..."

———— ————

Clipper Castle, a tall building located in the center of Beloberg that seems to defy traditional physics, is the headquarters of the "Builder" and the residence of the contemporary "Grand Guardian".

It is certainly not an exaggeration to say that this fortress named after the Star God is the heart of Beloberg. After all, most administrative activities will be carried out in the castle, and it is also the most important administrative center.

The strange-looking enemies outside the city were born from the inexplicable appearance of the 'Boundary Split' after the cold wave came.

Except for a few anti-matter legions that will wake up from the ice, these world-breaking creatures are Beloberg's main enemies.

Of course, these are all what Bronya told Kevin just now.It's just that the appearance and birth method of these world-splitting creatures always gave him a sense of déjà vu when facing Honkai Beasts.

However, it is clear that their true existence form is far different from that of the so-called Honkaimon...

In fact, there was no extra time for Kevin to think about this seriously, because not long after he stepped into Clipper Castle, the so-called "Great Guardian" had already begun to summon him alone.

As for Bronya?

She said that her homework today had been delayed a lot due to the accident just now, and now she had to finish it immediately.

To be honest, Kevin hasn't heard this term for a long, long time... But to say he misses it, it must be false.

And when he stepped into the most special room, the person standing at the top was unexpectedly an 'acquaintance'.

"Welcome, visitor from beyond."

The tall blond woman put her palms on her chest, showing her superiority while showing just the right amount of respect: "I am Cocolia Rand, the guardian of Beloberg. I am here to hear your message. .”

This is a very polite way of showing hospitality to an unknown outsider.But unfortunately, Kevin is not used to giving long explanations to others, and he does not think that a qualified leader will easily listen to his own words.

"Such words may be offensive, but I still hope you can seriously accept my proposal."

It was obvious that he was the one who was condescending, but for some reason, Cocolia suddenly felt from the other party that he seemed to be the one standing at the top, and even the temperature around him was obviously a bit colder.

Kevin's words are naturally quite direct: "I believe that as a leader, you must know more truth than those soldiers. I think you must also understand the real reason why a cold wave suddenly came to this planet, and the split of the world Why is it eroding the world?”

"Just telling me this won't have any impact on you."

As for what he will do next... of course Kevin will make his own plans after hearing it, but he is not prepared to explain too much to the other party, even if it may aggravate the conflict.

"Absurd! Outsiders..."

Kevin's straightforward words even surprised Cocolia, but whether it was to cover up something or to maintain her dignity, her best way to deal with it was of course to let the guards take the arrogant outsider away first.

But in her mind, another voice suddenly began to advise her not to do that.

[Promise him, promise him first, promise him quickly!This guy......】

boom----!

As Kevin gently lifted his back foot and stepped on it again, a crisp sound began to reverberate in the room, and at the same time cut off the murmur in Cocolia's mind that could not tell whether it was a man or a woman.

After the horror completely took over the other party's cold face, Kevin started to explain lightly.

"This sneaky way of bewitching reminds me of something I don't really like. However, I also learned how to block this guy from an old friend."

Kevin still stood there without moving, but the cold wind blowing his hair around his ears always warned Cocolia that this was not an illusion.

“What I want to hear is, as a leader, what are your thoughts.”

Rather than something weird and weird that attempts to distort human civilization itself.

Chapter 4 Cocolia’s Choice

"The Great Guardian, a title passed down from generation to generation by the rulers of Beroberg, the one who looks after all their people - people don't know that they are unwatched and unprotected."

This is not a proverb, on the contrary, it is a fact that almost no one knows, but it is actually there.

Some people may say that since they enjoy the rights as a leader, it is natural to fulfill their obligations... But for them who are under all the pressure all the time, do they really have any leisure time to enjoy?

Don't forget, Beloberg is a lonely fortress isolated in the wind and snow, facing various enemies at any time, with no future in sight.

In such a closed environment, limited resources will inevitably be exhausted visibly, but this is also the truth that leaders must never let the people know.

"So, the star core you are talking about is the culprit of the cold wave and the erosion of the world."

After clearly feeling that the man in front of her was completely beyond her understanding, Cocolia could only selectively blurt out certain truths.After learning the truth, Kevin stepped forward step by step, and finally reached a level that was relatively equal to hers.

"And so far, after 700 years, you still can't find any way to suppress the star core and the rift. At the same time, Belloberg's earth marrow energy is almost exhausted."

"So when everything was desperate, you chose to believe in the temptation to believe that the star core would open a new world, and erase all the outdated traces of the old world. This is the price it imposes."

Without making any criticism, or even adding any subjective comments, Kevin seemed to be a rational spectator, and just calmly told the cruel reality and Cocolia's choice.

"Even if Beloberg, whom you are supposed to protect, will be completely destroyed by this..."

"Enough, enough, I say enough!!!"

Cocolia slammed her palms against the table, interrupting Kevin's statement.It is worth mentioning that one of her palms has been completely eroded by ice and snow for some reason, and it is not known whether there will be any pain left.

However, as the "Grand Guardian" of Belloberg, she is rightly arrogant, and she definitely loves this city countless times more than Kevin, an outsider.

Even if this is a powerful outsider whose true identity and attitude are unknown, it will not prevent her from raising her anger at such a time.

"What do you really know about this kind of city? The culture, the beliefs, even a little bit of history?"

"Those guys always told me that the brilliance of the 'Amber King' has always shined on Beloberg, so it can stand still in the boundless wind and snow... But the phenomenon of boundary erosion has already been It has begun to spread within the city, and the total area eroded in the upper and lower cities is nearly [-]%."

"If this situation continues, even if there is no problem in any aspect, it will not take more than 50 years for the entire city to be completely engulfed by a complete rift."

"Perhaps that great being is indeed watching here, so why doesn't it simply solve these troubles in one fell swoop? Isn't it that He can't do it? Or does He prefer to watch this sad city being destroyed and buried bit by bit by the wind and snow? !”

"You have never been in such a situation. You have the power to not care about these trivial matters. I respect you, but this is not the reason for you to judge all this from a high position, outsider."

Cocolia, who thought she was calm and composed, suddenly burst out and told Kevin what she had never told anyone in her heart.Maybe this was a counterattack after the emotions were suppressed to a certain extent, or maybe Kevin also provided some guidance.

But, is it true that I have never encountered such a situation before?

Fifty thousand years ago, when he learned that an irresistible and powerful enemy was coming, he was certainly confused, but after all, they were not like each other, facing all this alone.

He also couldn't imagine that if he had been given another completely unknown choice when the end came, he would have jumped on it without hesitation, because what was gone was long gone, and any conjectures and memories were just false propositions.

After telling all this emotionally, Cocolia folded her arms and closed her mouth, and looked at Kevin quietly.

She admitted that her emotions were out of control just now, but the outsider already knew everything that should be known, and she did not think that words alone could change the mind of this cold outsider.

"According to what you said, even if this city completely dies in 50 years, it won't be your problem."

Even, she may not be able to live 50 years later. At least Belloberg still looks peaceful now.

The cruel reality that sixteen generations of guardians failed to change cannot be entirely her fault.Even in the past 700 years, the rift has been expanding all the time, and what they left to those who came after them was not faith and wealth, but boundless despair.

After listening to Kevin's story, Cocolia's expression froze slightly. Then she turned around and walked to the window, looking down at the city that countless people wanted to protect.

"Bronya Rand. Outsider, she is the first person you meet when you come here. What kind of child do you think she is?"

"Kind and courageous, but too weak." Kevin commented simply.

"It's a fair comment. She is indeed such a child, but as a mother, I still need to know her better."

Cocolia's momentary softness was short-lived, but Kevin was still able to capture it keenly.

"For Belloberg and all the people in this city, she has deeper feelings for them than anyone else. Regarding this, even as a mother, I stand opposite to Belloberg, no matter how If she hesitates, she will definitely choose to pull the trigger in the end... Even so, do you still think she is a weak child?"

"But on the other hand, this is true. If after becoming the real "Great Guardian", she can clearly see the demise of Beloberg bit by bit, she will be forced to accept the stars. The bewitchment of the core...this child will definitely go crazy."

Isn't this the best thing now?All choices and mistakes can be borne by her.If it succeeds, the world will be able to usher in a new life, and even if it fails, Bronya can still step on her body and move forward.

"Really, this is your plan, I think I roughly understand it."

As usual, Kevin didn't say anything to explain. He just closed his eyes and turned around, and then quickly walked to the end of the room.

"You can do whatever you want to do...that's my commitment."

boom----!

The door was opened and closed again, and Cocolia, who was left alone in the room, ignored the murmurs that sounded in her ears again and laughed dumbly.

"You are really a completely incomprehensible outsider."

Chapter 5 Birds must learn to fly

The star core comes from outside the sky, the cold wave that comes in response to the wish, and the erosion of the world and the invasion of world creatures that appear along with the star core... No matter from every aspect, the form of the star core is It is quite similar to [Cocoon of Finality].

Of course, Kevin knows very well that these are actually two completely different things, but it cannot be ruled out that there are elements of imitation between the two.

Maybe following this clue, he can return to his hometown in the distant future to see if they can really lead the world to what they want.

However, although there are similarities, this world is ultimately different from the original world.When the enemy becomes the so-called antimatter army from the universe, these humans who are limited to a single world, whether they resist or not is not that important.

Fortunately, there are not only enemies from the depths of the universe, but also the so-called "city builders" and the "protective" star god they believe in.

But even compared to others, Kevin can more intuitively feel that the great existence does have the so-called blessing for this place, but it is indeed as Cocolia said, since he has such ability, why doesn't he come? Change all this despair?

Obviously, it is completely wrong to consider such existence from a human perspective and thinking.Pre-civilizations also had many believers in gods, but miracles never came, and they never pinned their hopes on them.

Therefore, Cocolia never thought of placing her future on the "Amber King"...Kevin actually agreed with this.

If a civilization must rely on external help to survive difficulties, then this will be the beginning of its demise.

This is why, when faced with the choices given by modern civilization, he still insists on the [Stigmata Project], and they must prove that their path is more correct.

Just like what Cocolia has always called, outsiders... As an outsider, Kevin wants to see this civilization's own choices, regardless of the so-called sensory good or bad, unless it is leaning toward destruction. When necessary, otherwise he doesn't want to change anything.

The reason is of course very simple - he can't stay here forever as a nanny.

Birds must learn to fly.

With this idea in mind, Kevin walked down the stairs of Fort Clipper step by step, and at the same time successfully took in a panoramic view of this vibrant city that was incompatible with the ice and snow outside.

It's beautiful, but it's not his scenery.

As soon as he stepped into the central square under Clipper Castle, Kevin saw from a distance that Bronya, who had taken a step ahead not long ago, was arguing with a girl who was half a head shorter than her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bronya, but Lady Cocolia did say that there is no need to report such things to her anymore. She has her own judgment on this."

The blue-haired girl, who was not very tall, held the book in one hand and gently pushed the frame of her glasses with the other hand, speaking truthfully.

"But Pella, you should also know very well that the front line is suffering heavy casualties at this time, and the situation is not optimistic at all. Especially on the northeastern front, vacancies that are difficult to fill have begun to appear."

"[Silver-maned Marksman firepower group moves forward 20 meters]... How can we have such ridiculous tactical measures?! We are simply not suitable for direct combat with world-splitting creatures. Every Silver-maned Iron Guard is There is fresh life, but those monsters are endless.”

"It's just that the wartime command of the troops is returned to the Silver Mane Iron Guard. Mother is not the kind of person who is greedy for power, so how could she not agree?"

Bronya didn't want to see or believe such a result. She tried to confirm it with the girl again and again, but the answer she finally got never changed.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bronya, I did submit the report truthfully, but the reply given by Lord Cocolia was that she refused to hand over the command."
