“I understand it roughly, but if it’s really as you wrote, then what should the truth be?”

Cocolia raised the question. What Prince gave her was his analysis of the entire Beloberg heating system and the expansion and erosion of the rift. It was the result of his continuous research in the upper and lower city areas and outside Beloberg.

Beloberg’s heating system was built by the first Great Guardian after the arrival of the cold wave. It has gone through the efforts of countless people and ensured that Beloberg could survive the endless wind and snow. Due to the technological gap, this system that has been running for more than a hundred years is gradually aging, and its performance is actually slowly declining.

According to Prince’s analysis, with the current amount of earth marrow mined and its utilization rate, it would be very difficult to rely on the current heating system to maintain the operation of the entire Beloberg. It can be said that it is difficult to maintain a quarter of the area.

However, the fact is that the entire Beloberg still relies on this system to stand, operating with completely unbalanced energy conversion, which is obviously unreasonable.

But no one cares about such problems, because it has been like this for hundreds of years. In the eyes of others, as long as the earth’s marrow is continuously mined, it can be maintained. It is normal for the heating system to operate like this. If the power drops at any time, it must be that there is not enough earth’s marrow, and people in the lower city need to work harder.

Now, Prince used the data he had sorted out to tell Cocolia that Beloberg’s heating system had been having problems for a long time, but for unknown reasons it was still working strongly.

For example, the heating system is like a program. It has problems itself, but the existence of a certain bug allows it to run normally as if nothing happened. At the beginning, other people did not choose to repair the program running like this, but let it exist. After all, what if it is repaired, but it stops running? What should they do then?

And when the group of people who built it leave, without even informing the people who came later about it, the people who came later would naturally think that the program was like that. But once problems arise over time, they will only suspect that the problem lies somewhere else, and will not think that the program was wrong from the beginning.

This is what the people in the upper city are like now. They don’t understand or even have the ability to solve this problem. Instead, they blame the earth and choose to exploit the residents of the lower city to mine more earth marrow.

But the result is that even if the output of earth marrow increases, the situation of Beloberg is still slowly getting worse. According to Prince’s analysis, within a hundred years, the size of Beloberg will be reduced by at least half.

So the question is, since the problem is not caused by insufficient mining of the earth’s marrow, then where does this extra energy come from?

The same question also exists in the erosion of the Rift. What exactly does Beloberg use to resist the erosion of the Rift? Why is the erosion of the Rift beginning to accelerate now? No matter how many Silvermane Iron Guards are deployed, it is of no avail.

What exactly did the first group of people do? What secrets are hidden behind the cold wave in Beloberg? These questions popped up in Cocolia’s mind one after another.

Looking at the confused Cocolia, Prince gave his own version of events.

“Do you remember our faith?”

“Amber King, but that’s just a legend.”

“What if it’s not?” Prince’s eyes were so deep that Cocolia was shocked.

“Based on the limited data I’ve reviewed, there is indeed a force that doesn’t exist in a concrete form, or in other words, it’s undetectable at our current level.”

“This power, based on human will, sustains the entire city of Beloberg. Our faith in [Preservation] may also stem from this. However, when the will of the city builders begins to decay, and those within the walls quietly await the end, all problems begin to surface.”

Cocolia pressed her temple in a daze. In such a short time, her worldview was ruthlessly thrown under Priss’s feet and stepped on several times.

She even suspected that Prince had gone crazy from writing novels, as he could say such unrealistic and imaginary things to explain real things, and he made it sound so reasonable.

“If that’s what you’re saying, then why did the Amber King and [Protection] exist, and their power was so immense that they allowed Beloberg to stand for hundreds of years, yet they didn’t just deal with the cold disaster? The will and faith of the original people were undoubtedly the purest. Why didn’t they take action then, and then abandon Beloberg after his people began to lose hope?”

After saying this, Cocolia noticed that Prince frowned, with a hint of disapproval on his face. Then Cocolia herself realized that what she had just said was of the same nature as what those family members she looked down upon.

Putting expectations and hopes on other things, everything seems to be taken for granted, and leaving your destiny to be controlled by others.

Cold sweat broke out on Cocolia’s forehead, and her hands on the table began to clench and then tremble.

Why did I have such thoughts just now? I even became unlike myself.

Such questions began to fill Cocolia’s mind, making her more and more confused.

Just as Cocolia was wavering, a warm and familiar hand was placed on top of her own.

Cocolia raised her confused eyes and saw Prince’s usual calm face standing close to her.

Under Prince’s gentle gaze, he spoke to Cocolia, “The Amber King’s power is indeed great, but it is not something that can be taken at will. Building a high wall does not mean that those within it can always sleep soundly. People need to find new ways out on their own. This is the case with Beloberg. Its fate is not determined by the Amber King, but by the people of Beloberg.”

“Remember, Cocolia, never leave your fate to anything other than yourself. No matter what the outcome of your life is, you should control it yourself.”

Under the gaze of Cocolia and Prince, Cocolia’s embroidered eyebrows trembled slightly, and the golden color in her eyes disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

When Cocolia came to her senses, she found herself holding Prince’s hands tightly, like a drowning person calling for help, and Prince was approaching and looking at her with soothing eyes.

I’m so tired from playing and really don’t want to update. Please forgive me for any typos. I’m too sleepy.

Is this explanation reasonable enough?

The core of the star is causing trouble. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next episode. Anyway, it won’t be so peaceful.

Cocolia blinked and quickly withdrew her hand.

She leaned back and said with some embarrassment, “I know, I was just saying it casually. Also, don’t come over so suddenly!”

Prince sat back and raised his hands in surrender, indicating that he had no intention of deliberately teasing Cocolia. She was a very strong person, and if she got excited and attacked, he would become a joke.

She clenched her fists and placed them before her mouth, coughing a few times to cover up her gaffe. Then, Kokolia straightened her posture and said, “So, what do you want to say?”

“What I mean is that we need to focus on what’s hidden behind Beloberg. There must be something fishy going on in the abnormal situation, and to know these things, perhaps only the Grand Guardian has the right to know.”

“What force is blocking the erosion of the Rift Realm? How is the Rift Realm’s current expansion related to this? If I can figure it out, I might be able to find a way to eliminate the cold disaster.”

Prince knew that all this was a problem with the star core sealed in Beloberg, but he was just an ordinary person and did not have the ability to solve it alone.

And even if the problem of the star core can be solved, what about the problems inside Beloberg? The change of thinking is a long process, which requires the Beloberg people themselves to stimulate their numb souls.

They always focus on the process rather than the results. They cherish the fruits watered with sweat and find the delicious taste especially sweet.

“So, this requires the help of our future Great Guardian, Cocolia.”

“You guy.”

Although his goal is indeed to become a great guardian and he is full of confidence, for some reason, when he says it, there is always an inexplicable sense of shame?

Cocolia sighed, “Looks like I now have one more reason to become the Great Guardian.”

“You’re going to be the Great Guardian anyway, so just do it.”

“This is no small matter that can be solved with a simple “easy to do” statement. After all, it is a secret that the Great Guardian must keep. How can it be given away so easily?”

Prince raised his eyebrows. “So, what do you mean?”

Touching his smooth chin, Cocolia fell into thought: “I haven’t thought about it yet, but it’s not so easy to get the secret information of the Great Guardian so easily. When the time comes, you will need to exchange it with something of equal value.”

Cocolia narrowed her eyes and put on a charming smile: “You don’t want to be unable to obtain the hidden information you want, do you?”

As a friend who grew up together, Cocolia knows her friend very well. Prince is a practical person and he really won’t spend much energy on things he is not interested in, but if he really wants to do something, he will really go all the way to the end.

He must want those secrets very much, so could she use these things to make some small requests as a reward later?

As someone who grew up together, she knew Prince’s excellence better than anyone else. He also had a very good personality, the kind of person who cared about you silently. Then when she came into contact with other people, he stood out even more.

It’s really nice to have someone to rely on. They played together when they were young, and he continued to help her when she grew up. It was really hard for Cocolia to refuse.

And what happened just now? You tempted me so much, so if I don’t show a little aggressiveness, I won’t be Cocolia.

Of course, it’s not that she has forgotten Xiluwa. She has never forgotten the scene of her climbing over the wall to find her that day. She has always been her best friend.

It can even be said that for the sake of her best friend, she really endured it all the way to adulthood, until her days in school were almost over.

But Shiluwa never showed that sign. She was carefree and even if there was any close contact, she didn’t seem to have that kind of feeling. Instead, her love for machinery and rock music was visibly visible.

So since you are in this situation, instead of waiting for some unexpected situation to occur in the future, you might as well leave it to her. At least you are familiar with me, so you can rest assured, right?

As a girl who grew up in a large family with strict discipline, Cocolia was influenced by the people around her. She not only has great ambitions in politics, but is also a little greedy in emotions.

It’s just that when she interacts with her friends, she doesn’t show her strong side.

But now that they have grown up, isn’t it time to consider other things?

Of course, if you figure it out in the future, join in and win her over.

Then she would not have any complaints. She, Kokolia, would not bother to hide or care about her failure, let alone in front of her best friend.

However, until you figure it out, it should be okay for her to try to gain a slight advantage.

Her slender fingers tapped the table, and Cocolia’s mind gradually became active.

“Cocolia, Prince, here I come!”

“I really gave an exceptional performance at today’s rock show. I also met a really cute kid. I’ll definitely bring her over for you to meet. You’re sure to like her!”

With a little sweat on her face, Shiluwa pushed open the door and walked in full of energy, carrying a guitar case on her back. Looking at the bright smile on her face, she was really happy with today’s performance.

She put her guitar case down and went straight to her seat.

Prince gave her a glass of water and a towel.

“Thank you.” Shiluwa took the water and drank it in one gulp. The cool water moistened her throat which had been singing for half a day, making her feel very comfortable.

She then gently wiped her soft hair and cheeks with the towel, and mentally praised Prince’s thoughtfulness again.

“I’m a little late today. Did I miss anything interesting?”

After hearing what Shiluwa said, Prince still had no reaction, but Cocolia showed a strange expression, which made Shiluwa a little confused.

“What’s the matter.”

“Nothing, just a discussion about what I’ll do after I become the Great Guardian. Nothing much.”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

Xiluwa suddenly lost interest. Instead of paying attention to the family disputes and the mutual exploitation in the officialdom, she would rather help the children repair their toys.

Looking at the relaxed Shiluwa, Cocolia held her cheek and sighed helplessly.

As expected of Shiluwa, am I a little too much?

Prince calmly drank water nearby.

——–

Writing a romance scene is already difficult, and this is my first time writing one of this kind.

How do the authors of Shura Field maintain the character setting without going overboard?

Volume 101: Beloberg’s Sprouts: Chapter : Warm and Leisure Time

“So, did something good happen again?”

Shiluwa perked up now, her eyes sparkling as she spoke, “Hey, you know, when I was performing on the street today, I met a really cute little girl. She was wearing big glasses, the same style as Prince’s, but she looked so adorable. She was holding a book and listening to me sing from the audience.”

“You haven’t caused any trouble to others.”

If so, he would observe a few seconds of silence for that person. Shiluwa has a carefree personality, but sometimes when she gets angry, she will invite others to sing on stage with her.

One time when he was in the audience, she pulled him up to perform an impromptu performance.

Shiluwa waved her hand and said, “Hey, what are you talking about? That little girl looks so shy. I won’t force her to do it.”

“However, I can see that she has a hidden rock spirit. I bet if she’s willing to practice, she’ll definitely be a good rock star.”

“What the hell is Rock Soul?”

The corner of Cocolia’s mouth twitched. This guy Shiluwa always acted based on his feelings sometimes. To put it bluntly, he acted impulsively. But sometimes this intuition always brought good results. All he could say was that it was truly magical.

“Hey, anyway, she seemed to really like my songs. We even sat down to chat after I finished performing. During that conversation, I discovered that she not only likes my songs, but she’s also a big fan of your books, Prince. She was holding a copy, and if I’m not mistaken, it was a special edition, the one the publisher recently gave away to loyal fans. Isn’t that fate?”

“When I told her I had a complete collection of Star Travel books, all signed by Xue Liuxing, her expression was so adorable. I wish I could take a picture of it.”

Thinking of the godlike expression of the girl named Pera, the corners of Shiluwa’s mouth rose uncontrollably.

As a friend of Prince, she certainly had privileges. Prince would always give her the latest Star Travel books. In order to show off, Shiluwa asked for his signature on every copy. When Prince heard her request, he rarely showed a speechless expression.

Over the years, Star Journey has become the most popular book in Beloberg, hailed as the most exciting fantasy adventure novel in Beloberg’s history and deeply loved by the people of Beloberg. Every time it is released, it sells out, and it is difficult to buy it used because people are reluctant to sell it. Even if they don’t read it anymore, they will keep it at home as a collection.

The story of Star Travel is very exciting and you will never get tired of reading it no matter how many times you read it. The only drawback is the author’s inhumane updates.

Because the condition that Prince put forward to the publishing house at the beginning was that he could decide on his own updates and the publishing house had no right to interfere. They are regretting it now, so you can see that sometimes when Prince is in the mood, he can complete a lot of stories in a short period of time, but the longest record is that he doesn’t have a single word for several months.

Prince’s completely random updates made many readers grit their teeth in hatred. Damn it, you write such beautiful books, why can’t you write more? It’s really hard for them, the readers!

I couldn’t see Star Travel, and it felt like a bunch of Rift Creatures were crawling all over my body.

Therefore, the razor blades sent to you can make money, and the publishing house is filled with letters urging for updates every day.

The publishing house has to kneel down to this cash cow and ask, can you please maintain a more stable update? Their publishing house has been attacked countless times because of this matter!

However, no matter how generous the conditions offered by the publishing house were, Prince insisted on not changing.

He writes books as a hobby, but being a scholar and researcher is his real job. How can he put the cart before the horse?

Moreover, Prince’s cheerful side is quite interesting when he sees the readers and publishers full of resentment and crying out loud. Sometimes I even think with a sense of humor what would happen if he announced that he would not renew the book.
