Exercise is far from enough. After returning, everyone’s training volume must be doubled, including myself.
He made up his mind.

-------------------------------------
Although they experienced many twists and turns, the group finally arrived at the last city on the planet - Beloberg.
"It's different from what I imagined..." San Yueqi widened his eyes.
She originally thought that the city was filled with only chaotically built shacks and ragged residents. Everything in the city was made of scrap iron, and everyone was surviving on the huge energy tower in the middle of the city. The great guardian lived on the top of the energy tower and sweated profusely every day.
However, the city that appeared before March Seven—
The sky is blue, the road is clean, and trams are leisurely shuttling through the city.
The Baroque-style buildings are located in an orderly manner, looking exquisite and distinctive in style.
Citizens come and go, children playing, girls holding bouquets of flowers, and old people resting on chairs, all of which make the city look full of vitality.
Bright, warm, and with a touch of fireworks, this is the feeling that Bello Berg gives people.
It is hard to imagine that such a city would appear on a planet covered with ice and snow.
"It's completely different from the suburbs, right? This is the city of protection - Beloberg." Jeppard's tone was full of pride and a little sadness. "Countless iron guards have fought one after another to protect this peaceful place you see."
"Why did Beloberg become the last city?" Dan Heng asked.
Jeppard cleared his throat and narrated in a serious tone: "Seven hundred years ago, a monster from outer space set the planet on fire. The earth at that time became a scorched earth, with burning molten fire and boiling black smoke everywhere..."
He clenched his fists and spoke in an excited tone: "At the critical moment of life and death, a cold wave suddenly arrived - the strong wind swept without warning, the invading army was buried by the blizzard, and only Beloberg remained -"
"This city was built by determined builders. Under the protection of the guardian Krippo, although Belloberg is attacked by wind and snow, it is always warm..."
Jeppard concluded with a reverent tone.
"The protecting star god Klipper..." Dan Heng muttered to himself.
"How long have you been carrying this?" Gu Tang asked curiously.
"I'm not good at this, so I spent a week memorizing it... ahem! Anyway, follow me first." Jeppard changed the subject somewhat awkwardly, took a step forward, and motioned for everyone to follow.
Jeppard didn't walk very fast, so the group was able to enjoy the scenery of the city, and March 7 also took a lot of photos.
Apparently, Jeppard was a hero in the eyes of the local residents, and many people came over along the way.
"Lord Jeppard is so awesome... I want to be a Silver Mane Guard as strong as him in the future!" This was the little kid who admired Jeppard, jumping and shouting.
"What happened? Who are those people following the garrison officer? Look at their attire, so strange..." These were the citizens who were curious about Jeppard's mission.
"Oh my God, that man in the suit is so handsome, he must be the creation of the great Clipper." This was a passerby who was attracted by Gu Tang's face.
“They must be star slaves captured and presented to the Great Guardian…” A citizen looked at Gu Tang and said with an expression as if he understood everything.
Jeppard memorized his face.
After a while, everyone arrived at their destination.
"We're here. This is Krippleburg, the heart of Belloburg and the headquarters of the city builders." Jeppard introduced the building as he looked at it.
Gu Tang raised his head and looked at the huge fortress in front of him.
Without a doubt, this is the tallest building in the entire city. I believe you can easily overlook the entire city from inside.
Its appearance looks like two huge gears meshing together. Its columns, pilasters and stucco shapes make it look majestic, as if hundreds of years of indomitable will are contained in it.
"Wow... If I could live in a castle this high, I wouldn't even close the window when taking a shower." March 7th exclaimed.
"Long before the cold wave arrived, the builders insisted on building the city here despite the misunderstanding and ridicule of the world. History has proved that their choice was correct." Jeppard briefly introduced the history of Klippe Castle.
"I guess this is the residence of the great guardian you mentioned." said Gu Tang.
Jeppard nodded. "Yes, the Great Guardian is the leader of the Belobergs who was nominated and appointed by the city builders. They have been watching over this city for generations and providing shelter for the people. The current guardian is Lady Cocolia Rand, and all major decisions in the city are made by her."
San Yue Qi swallowed his saliva and said, "I thought he was a high-ranking official, but I didn't expect him to be the leader. I'm a little nervous."
"Are you still nervous?" Dan Heng expressed his doubt.
Jeppard continued, "I will take you to see Lady Cocolia now. You can organize your speech in advance. Her time is precious, so she prefers brief reports."
"Huh, huh?! Are I going to see her so soon? Can I find a place to wash up first?" San Yue Qi touched his pink and white hair in panic.
Xing quickly took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the stained area.
She is a woman who pays great attention to etiquette.
In a moment, she polished the bat until it was shiny.
"Don't feel constrained. The guardian doesn't care about those red tapes. Follow me."
------------------------------------
Everyone came to a spacious hall.
There were many books and documents piled up everywhere in the hall, as well as desks. It was obvious that this was the administrative center of Beloberg.
At the deepest part of the hall, there is a high platform with a huge desk and a metal planetarium. Behind the desk is a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out, everything in Beloberg is in sight.
That is the office area of the Great Guardian.
Every Great Guardian has stood in front of this window, gazing at the city of Beloberg, with a myriad of thoughts running through their minds.
"But such a sacrifice is meaningless. You can't—"
It seemed that Gu Tang and his group arrived at a wrong time.
There was a young girl arguing with the woman standing on the platform.
Chapter 27: My Buddy's Hobby
The girl was wearing a blue and white uniform and long boots, which added a bit of capable temperament to her.
Her long light grey hair was curly and draped behind her, and her eyes were calm yet sharp.
The purple-blue earrings add a touch of luxury to her, and her every move exudes aristocratic elegance.
Combining the pride of a princess and the loyalty of a soldier, this is the unique feeling that the girl gives people.
"Mother, we can't--!"
The girl was a little agitated and was arguing with the woman on the platform.
"You can leave now, Bronya. Visitors have arrived." The woman whom she called mother waved her hand and directly blocked all her opinions.
"...Yes, mother." Bronya gritted his teeth unwillingly, bowed, and turned to walk towards the door of the hall.
At this moment, she felt a burning gaze.
She turned around and saw Gu Tang staring at her intently.
"What an impolite guy..." Bronya frowned and thought with some disgust.
She quickened her pace and left the hall.
The perceptive Dan Heng also noticed Gu Tang's gaze.
"So that's how it is. Bro, you like black stockings." Dan Heng completed his reasoning in an instant.
Indeed, whether it is Xing or March 7, they all expose their white legs.
In this case, it is understandable that he is attracted to girls with black stockings.
So, who is the person closest to the girl in black stockings on the train?
Dan Heng looked down and saw his dark trousers.
What? It’s me. It’s okay then.
He nodded.
"Her hair looks like croissants, and there are three of them..." Gu Tang thought as he watched Bronya's departing back.
Jeppard stepped forward and said, "Master Guardian, I have brought four outsiders to meet you."
Cocolia nodded: "The messenger has told me the situation. Very well done, Jeppard, you can leave now."
After Jeppard bowed and left, Cocolia and Gu Tang and his group were the only ones left in the empty hall.
Everyone carefully observed this legendary great guardian.
Her golden hair was braided into a ponytail and hung on her left shoulder. Her purple eyes were arrogant and cold.
Should we say that they are worthy of being mother and daughter? She and Bronya do have a lot in common.
He has the toughness of a soldier and the elegance and calmness of a nobleman.
But she is more domineering and tougher, mixed with the oppressive feeling of being in power, making it hard for those who face her to breathe.
Like a piece of unshakable ice, nothing can melt this coldness.
"Welcome, visitors from outside the cold wave... no, from outside the sky, right?" Cocolia spoke first. "I am Cocolia Rand, the guardian of Beloberg. I am here to listen to your intentions."
At this time, the sharp-eyed Dan Heng discovered something again.
Gu Tang was staring at Cocolia with burning eyes.
"So that's how it is. Bro, you like older girls." Dan Heng completed his reasoning in an instant.
Indeed, both Xing and March Seven are immature girls, lacking the charm of mature women.
Could it be... Miss Himeko...
No, Miss Himeko doesn't have black stockings.
Ah!
It's Mr. Walter.
That's fine.
Dan Heng nodded.
The above thinking only took 0.1 seconds.
"Don't you doubt our identity?" he asked, looking at Cocolia.
With that calm face and steady tone, it would be difficult for others to imagine what thoughts were going through his mind.
As for what Gu Tang was thinking...
"Why do you want to expose both sides of the crotch?" Gu Tang looked at Cocolia's clothes, holding his chin with his hands and thinking.
"Do you really want me to doubt you? Are you so unsure about the identity you claim to have?" Kokolia answered Dan Heng's doubts, her tone as tough as her appearance, "No, I don't doubt it. I can see that you are not from this world."
Kokolia turned around and looked at the huge planetarium next to the desk. She said, "We remember history and know that in the distant past, before the cold wave came and the Legion invaded, this world was once extremely prosperous... The Star God connected our planet with other worlds and let us know the vastness of the Milky Way."
She glanced at Gu Tang and his group with sharp eyes: "So, don't be surprised. Although the city builders have not received any news from the starry sky in the past seven hundred years, I know you exist. Tell me your purpose, I'm listening."
Xing said, "We are here for something called a star core."
"Star core?" Cocolia raised her eyebrows.
"It is a kind of substance that suddenly lands on various worlds, and its appearance means disaster. Many planets we passed by were poisoned by the star core." Dan Heng added.
"You mean... the cold wave is also caused by the star core?" Cocolia frowned and thought.
"Not only that, we heard from Jeppard on the way that you have been fighting against the creatures of the Rift Valley, right? The disasters caused by the star core on each planet are different, but every world where the star core is planted will give birth to a Rift Valley. This is the most direct evidence." March 7 explained in detail to Cocolia.
Xing looked at March 7 in surprise.
She was able to make such wise and well-organized speeches.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Although I'm not as good as Ji Zi and Uncle Yang, I have also learned a lot of knowledge." March Seven said to Xing angrily.
"The star core is a bad thing, and we are here to help you take it away. Either assist us or leave us alone." Gu Tang's summary was as simple and crude as ever.
"Although that's the truth, but the tone!" March 7th kept reminding.
"That's fine. I like straightforward people." Kokolia looked at Gu Tang, "Then... tell me what your purpose is. I don't believe that someone would go to so much trouble to help a world that has nothing to do with them, and have no ulterior motives."
Dan Heng explained: "The star core will not only destroy civilization, but also disrupt the star track. Our train cannot jump and is trapped here. If we don't seal the star core, we can't leave this planet, so everyone's interests are the same."
Gu Tang spread his hands and said, "Actually, I did suggest on the train that it would be more efficient to blow up Yalilo-VI directly and then salvage the core from the planetary debris, but Jizi and the others refused, so umm--!?"
