Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

The captain stared at Sambo's emerald eyes, "Shall we settle the account?"

Sangbo thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Business needs to be long-lasting. Old Sangbo didn't call on old customers to talk about money or something vulgar like that."

"If others say this, I believe it, but I don't believe you." The captain raised his eyebrows.

Sambo made a tearful expression, "We were working together very well, why are you suddenly so wary of old Sambo?"

"Because you are very special." The captain smiled slightly, "It's too risky to owe you something."

Unusual...huh?

Sambo's smile faded slightly. "Old Sambo is just a businessman. Although he does have some connections, he is far inferior to a big shot like you who can go in and out of Klipperburg."

"Not necessarily. Your way can directly break through the blockade of the star core and enter Yalilo VI. This is definitely not an ordinary way." The captain stared at Sambo.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Sambo was silent for a long time, but suddenly he laughed. However, his greasy and mercenary temperament was instantly restrained. He looked at the captain, the [Abundance] envoy, and asked, "Where did I give away my true colors? Did you notice it?"

"The blockade of the upper and lower city areas is not so easy to break through, and Swarro has never known you. He is guarding the passage to the [Furnace Core] in the mechanical settlement, but except for the three of March, Swarro has never recorded anyone entering or leaving the [Furnace Core]."

"This leads to two results. Either you never rely on the [Furnace Core] when traveling between the upper and lower city areas, or you have other special ways."

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Your second point should be able to convince you." Sambo shrugged.

"Secondly, the big shots in the underground city all know you, but no one in the lower city knows you from the past." The captain smiled and did not comment on Sambo's answer, "I once thought that you might be from the upper area."

"But you are a wanted criminal in the Upper District, and no one in the Upper District knows where you are from, at least they don't think you are from the Upper District, which is very strange." The captain stared at Sambo, "You are a young man who looks to be in his thirties. In the relatively closed social environment of Beloberg, where people can only communicate with people in the Upper and Lower Districts, before Cocolia ascended the throne and before the Upper and Lower Districts were blocked for more than ten years, where did you survive?"

"You can handle your beginning and end so well at the age of thirty, which can be said to be your outstanding ability, but did you have the ability of a thirty-year-old when you were ten?" The captain chuckled, "And your disguise was a bit careless."

Sambo nodded, the captain's last sentence was indeed right.

"Xi'er's weapon, the scythe, obviously has some of Liuguang Yiting's technology. You sold it to her."

"Then there's Dr. Natasha's clinic, where you can always get medicine."

"Isn't it okay for old Sambo to be kind?" Sambo Koski stared at the captain.

"I am rather suspicious and always like to get to the bottom of some details. The efficacy of some of the medicines you brought is far beyond the technological level of Beloberg. Unfortunately, I have some relationship with Ms. Black Tower of the Genius Club. I studied with her for a while and I happened to recognize traces of the [family] in the medicine you sent." The captain shrugged and smiled exaggeratedly, "This is Beloberg, cut off from the outside world for 700 years. How can there be so many coincidences?"

"And there's one more thing." The captain stared at Sambo, "This is the reason why I doubt you."

"I'm all ears." Sambo smiled.

"The Iron Guards couldn't catch you, not even once." The captain shrugged. "This can no longer be explained by excuses like slippery and loach."

Sambo's smile froze for a moment.

"Bronya, Jeppard, and Pera, they are not good-for-nothings. On the contrary, they are very capable, but they can't catch you. This is your biggest doubt and flaw." The captain raised his hand and pointed at the table. "Do you have anything to refute?"

Sambo sighed awkwardly, "Well, if there is a next time, I will take these into consideration in my character setting."

"[Masked Fool], [Playwright] Sambo Koski, greetings to you, Herald of Plenty, Mr. [Captain]." The tall man sat on the chair, stroking his chest with one hand and bowing slightly.

The same action, after removing the greasy temperament and disguise, can indeed be seen in the word elegance.

"Why are you here?" The captain knew the [Masked Fool], who was the destiny walker who followed [Joy] Aha, and was able to break through the blockade of the star core and break into Yalilo VI alone. The Sambo in front of him had the same identity as himself, he was the messenger of [Joy].

"The Amber Records of this era have ended. It was probably time for the annual meeting to name and summarize the work. The Company discovered that a member had been missing for hundreds of years." Sambo shrugged. "But the emissaries in the Company are all 'big shots'. A Yalilo is not worth their time. The Company entrusted the task to the Masked Fool, and I was chosen."

"You came ten years earlier..." The captain stared at Sambo.

"Fourteen years, to be exact." Sambo nodded.

"Why don't you help them?" The captain narrowed his eyes. "The [Company] didn't ask you to come and take a look, did it?"

Sambo was silent for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head. "Captain, you are the Envoy of Plenty. Your thoughts, behaviors, actions, will, whatever they are, have finally converged into a special kind that has attracted the attention and blessing of the Pharmacist."

"And my thoughts, pursuits, and will made me chosen by Lord Aha." Sambo stared at the captain. "If I make the same choice as you and do what you expect, will I still be myself? Am I still an envoy walking on the path of [joy]?"

The captain was silent for a moment.

The captain was a skilled debater, and he would never admit defeat in a battle of wills. However, at the moment, his understanding of things like [Star God] and [Destiny] was far from worthy of his status as an envoy.

This also led to him having no desire to debate with Sambo.

"What you said may make sense." The captain exhaled, "I just have one question."

"If we weren't here, would you save the planet Yalilo and the only remaining spark of civilization in Beloberg? Would you? Or would you not?"

"Yes..." Sambo answered the captain's question firmly, but after dragging his words for a while, he changed the subject, "But I will use my own way."

"I don't think I would like your approach." The captain narrowed his eyes.

"Of course." Sambo raised his lips, "After all, you are not a traveler on the road of [pleasure]."

"Okay, then, last question."

"Now, everything is done according to my way and my ideas. Do you have any objections?"

"I dare not. You have done better than me. Why should I interfere?"

"I just want to quietly wait for the actors to come on stage and watch the climax of the last show."

Chapter 47: Cocolia Begins Action

“I do better than you?”

The captain raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs, and looked at the mysterious [Pleasure] Envoy.

After he asked the question, he fell into a brief silence. In his mind, he tried to deduct what he had done and what Sambo was expecting based on Sambo's words, but Sambo took the initiative to explain.

"The more happiness that reflects human dignity, the higher the level of happiness." Sambo looked at the captain, "Captain, your actions are undoubtedly pushing the actor I selected to show her humanity and dignity step by step."

"Your methods are different from mine. You know you can't do it, but you still want to persuade her to come back. I can't do it like you." Sangbo picked up the juice on the table and took a sip. "I will probably just push her."

"..."

"The saviors I chose are Bronya and Seele." The playwright whispered to people of the same level about his overturned script, "Bronya is a slightly indecisive girl. She has unknowingly embarked on the path of [harmony]. Her heart has determined that it is difficult for her to firmly give up her mother, and you pushed her to make a decision."

"In my original script, it was Seele who pushed Bronya." Sambo put down the cup and looked at the captain with a smile, "You seem confused."

"A little bit. Would you like to explain?" The captain nodded.

"There is an orphanage in the lower city. Before the upper and lower districts were separated, the orphanage was run by Dr. Natasha. Xier, Bronya, and Cocolia all came from there, including Dr. Natasha. She was also an orphan in that orphanage until she was adopted by a family of doctors in the upper district."

"Seele and Bronya were good friends when they were young, and they had a friendship back then. Of course, including Bronya Rand's personality, when she is faced with the current decision, she will definitely be pushed by Seele, who has a stronger will, to stand up against her mother." Sambo smiled.

The playwright confidently told the captain about his previous plan, "Cocolia is chasing after vanity. Without your influence, she would have plunged headfirst into her ideal and drowned."

"Because she has no choice." The captain stared at Sambo, dissatisfied with his condescending and frivolous attitude at the moment.

"She has." Sambo stared at the captain with a deep gaze. "She is the [City Builder]. She should have her own integrity. Even if civilization perishes, she should hold her head high and face the snow and night with Beloberg. She should not betray [Protection] and embrace [Star Core]."

"But she betrayed me, so I didn't provide her with direct help. I chose to wait and see. She had her choice, and I had mine."

"What do you think of me?" The captain narrowed his eyes, stared at Sambo, and spoke in a low voice.

Survival is the greatest instinct of life.

When people give up their dignity and choose to survive, we should not blame them. After all, not all lives have to experience the same suffering.

“You value life, so you walk on the path of abundance. I am different from you. I care more about a spiritual pursuit.”

A top hat appeared in Sambo's hand. He smiled deeply and put the black top hat on his head. "I look forward to the happiness of showing human dignity, but she chooses to be a clown."

"look......"

Sambo held up his hat, raised his head and looked at the towering Klippe Castle in the distance. The captain subconsciously followed Sambo's gaze and cast his eyes towards Klippe Castle.

"The clown has come on stage."

Sambo's voice was already ethereal, and the captain could feel a fluctuation of imaginary energy coming from the chair over there.

But it was difficult for the captain to care about Sambo who ran away.

Because, above Klippe Castle, a figure broke through the glass and was falling rapidly in mid-air.

It was a female figure, holding a flaming spear in her hand. She did not move much, but Klippe Castle was too high, with nearly a thousand steps, which is nearly a hundred meters high. Adding the height of the cell itself, it would take time to fall.

Cocolia eventually attracted the attention of some people in the Central Administrative District, and once someone discovered it, everyone would know about it.

Cocolia had waited enough, so she took action.

Sitting on a chair outside a small shop on the edge of the central administrative district, the captain watched the falling Cocolia quietly until she landed heavily on the long steps in front of Kripal Castle, raising gravel and dust.

The next moment, Cocolia, holding a spear, took vigorous steps, dragging the spear with one hand, rushed out of the smoke and dust, and rushed towards... her direction.

The captain took a deep breath, threw the several Winter City Shields given to him by Xing onto the table, stood up and walked towards Cocolia, and with a casual clench of his hand, the Bloody Hand Saint appeared in his hand.

"Oh my god, it's the Great Guardian!"

"Isn't she sick?"

"How could she come straight from such a high place......"

"Lord Cocolia..."

Cocolia, who was running towards the Rift Boundary blockade area, heard the exclamations of the people around her, and saw that among the many people who stopped, there was a man in a gray robe with a gun in his hand, walking towards her.

But Cocolia did not slow down. On the contrary, she put in more strength and ran faster.

The captain in the crowd, after a brief hesitation, ultimately did not raise the Bloody Hand Saint in his hand to fire at Cocolia.

Cocolia is still the Great Guardian. Shooting at Cocolia in public, let alone the unimportant issue of whether she can be captured, the most important thing is the subsequent impact. If she is captured, how will Krippleburg speak to the outside world and appease the people?

If you can't take her down... then why shoot? The situation is already chaotic enough.

There were already many people gathered in the square, and there were new arrivals pushing forward. The captain did not resist or join in the crowd, and was quickly submerged in the crowd.

Cocolia also noticed that the captain, who had taken the initiative to walk out of the crowd earlier, had now disappeared into the crowd.

She tensed up.

The captain's action either means he is going to shoot from behind or he has simply given up trying to stop me.

Cocolia felt that the latter was most likely the case.

It was not until Cocolia flew over four meters in one step and jumped into the blocked rift area that she breathed a sigh of relief.

It looks like the captain has given up.

But what Kokolia didn't know was...

In the crowd, the captain, whose gun had been replaced by a cell phone, was typing away.

There were already a few words of communication on the screen.

[Captain: Dan Heng, Cocolia has taken action. She has left Klipperburg. I can't stop her in public. She has entered the Iron Guard restricted area.]

[Dan Heng: Got it. I will remind Jeppard and stop him if necessary.]

The captain exhaled lightly and sent out the text he had typed.

[Captain: Act according to circumstances and protect yourself. ]

【Dan Heng: I understand.】

Chapter 48: The terminally ill person, Cocolia Rand

The Iron Guard Restricted Area is located within the walls of Belloberg, but...

The restricted area had long been eroded by the rift, and even within the city walls, there was always bitter snow and wind.

But Cocolia was only wearing thin clothes and ran briskly towards the Iron Guard restricted area in the Rift Boundary Blockade Zone.

The so-called restricted area is the place where the wall of Beloberg was first breached by the rift. Outside the restricted area is the highest point outside the city of Beloberg, a steep snowfield called Permafrost Ridge.

Cocolia's target is the Everfrost Ridge.

But even if the creatures in the rift would not stop her, and the wind and snow could no longer affect her body and take away the warmth in her body, there were still obstacles blocking her.

"Lady Cocolia." The heavy guitar case was slammed to the ground. In the snow, Jeppard, with his golden hair swaying in the howling cold wind, stood in front of the gate of the Iron Guard restricted area with a complicated expression.

Behind Jeppard.

On the right is Oleg, the apparent leader of [Earth Fire] dressed in red.

On the left hand side is Dan Heng, who is dressed in a long green gown, holding a spear, and ready to fight.

"Stop, you should come with us to save the entire Beloberg." Jeppard was still looking forward to talking to Cocolia, his expression was full of pain and entanglement.

After all, the Landau family has always been the right-hand man of the Great Guardian for four hundred years, and there has always been one or two Landaus by the side of the Great Guardian from generation to generation. Jeppard thought that he should also become a member of the Landau family in the history textbooks many years later. He never thought that the Great Guardian would deviate from the path of [preservation].
