Xingtie Palu: Capturing the Black Swan at the Beginning

The golden hour was a big event, and the golden hour was a big event.

Under the gorgeous eight-leaf chandelier.

The blonde beauty sat alone in the empty room, reviewing a thick document.

"Summary of the Recent Situation in the Iron Guard Restricted Area and Related Opinions"

"The "Deep Blue Scam" Caused Significant Losses to the Citizens of Beloberg"

"The Mining Volume of the Marrow Ore in the Lower Area Has Declined in Recent Months, and the Energy Crisis Is Coming!"

"Arrangements for Matters Related to the Xiri Festival"

...

The first document was the intelligence and opinions of Pera Intelligence Officer relayed by Garrison Officer Jeppard.

It subtly reminded Cocolia that it was best not to interfere in the Iron Guard's front-line combat command.

Because that would often bring a large number of unnecessary casualties to the Iron Guard.

Cocolia naturally understood what Jeppard and Pera meant, and their meaning was probably what most of the Iron Guards meant.

But unfortunately, Cocolia did not not know how to command the battle.

Before becoming the Great Guardian, she was also a brave and well-commanded Silver Mane Iron Guard acting as the commander.

She gave such a ridiculous order as "Silver Mane Archer Fire Group Move Forward 30 Meters" and sent the archers who were supposed to provide fire support in the rear to the Rift Monster. It was naturally her intention.

Cocolia remembered the guilt and entanglement in her heart when she first issued such a ridiculous order.

But after many years of ruthless time, she can now indifferently send the lives of the Iron Guards to the Rift Monster...

Cocolia thought of the order she had just given to Pera - "Hold the administrative district defense line at all costs."

I guess many Iron Guards will die in this battle.

And this battle was also planned by her...

Cocolia suddenly felt tired.

The antimatter army that invaded three days ago, the escaped enemy still cannot be caught.

Cocolia had to admit that she was a little anxious.

So she planned ahead of time.

In order to suppress that anxiety, she reviewed the complicated affairs here as usual, just to maintain the decisiveness and absolute rationality as a ruler.

But the battle in the distance and the documents in front of her that reminded her of the internal and external troubles of Beloberg finally made her a little tired.

Cocolia closed the half-read document about the upcoming Xiri Festival arrangements, leaned back on the cold chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Xiri Festival...

At such a precarious moment, she was asked to arrange a warm and lively festival, which was really ironic.

... How long has it been since I had a happy festival?

Such a thought suddenly floated in Cocolia's mind, and then slowly brought her into a dreamland...

...

"Cocolia, today is Xiri Festival, don't study here, let's go out and play!"

The lively and handsome girl excitedly pulled Cocolia's arm, pretending to pull her out of the dormitory.

Cocolia could only get up and smiled helplessly:

"Shiluwa, alas, I really can't do anything about you, so I'll accompany you for a walk."

The two young girls in their prime years playfully merged into the lively crowd on the streets of Beloberg.

Smiles were on everyone's face.

"Cocolia, do you want to eat sun pancakes? This is delicious." Shiluwa took Cocolia's hand and ran to the snack stand.

Cocolia rarely put down her heavy studies and came out, so she followed Shiluwa's arrangement and enjoyed the holiday food.

On a row of benches in the administrative district.

Cocolia, wearing a blue off-shoulder dress, sat side by side with Shiluwa, wearing a white printed T-shirt and dark blue jeans.

Their equally plump and proud figures attracted frequent attention from passers-by in the warm sunshine.

Cocolia and Shiluwa had long been accustomed to such gazes, and now they were just concentrating on enjoying the delicious berry yogurt cup.

Shiluwa divided the big sun pancake into two halves and handed one half to Cocolia.

Cocolia took a bite, and the crispy and warm pancake made her feel as if she really felt the warmth of the sun.

A group of children in the square were laughing and chasing, running across the Eternal Winter Monument with colorful balloons, and their happy laughter merged into the joyful festive atmosphere...

Looking at all this harmony, Cocolia, as the successor of the Great Guardian, secretly vowed that she would protect this Beloberg that could make children happy!

"A new product of black bread soda? It tastes good in a can, give me two bottles."

Cocolia had just finished eating the pancake, and when she looked up, the two were already choosing drinks in front of the beverage store.

"100 Winter City Shields, Cocolia, it's your turn to treat me to a drink."

Shiluwa, who is not worried about money and is also very generous, asked Cocolia to pay just to let her participate in the festival more.

Feeling.

Cocolia smiled and prepared to take out her wallet.

But she found that her wallet was missing.

Cocolia knew that it was the thief who would become more rampant during every festival who stole from her.

But she had a hunch that a little boy would pick up the empty wallet and return it to her in the next moment.

She thanked the little boy and treated him to a drink.

Although the iron guard later told him that the little boy was the thief...

"Is this your wallet?"

A warm male voice came from behind.

Cocolia turned around and found that the person handing her the wallet was not a little boy, but a man with black hair and black pupils, sharp edges and a good appearance.

She felt that the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember.

Cocolia looked down at the style of the wallet, which was her wallet.

"Thank you."

Cocolia took the wallet and thanked the man gently.

"You're welcome. I'm not used to your politeness."

The man said something that made Cocolia confused.

Shiluwa on the side suddenly interrupted:

"Oh, you are also a student of our college, right? You haven't talked to Cocolia before? Yes, she is the school beauty pursued by thousands of people, and it's hard to say a word to her."

Shiluwa's words made Cocolia roughly understand the situation.

Is the man in front of her also trying to pursue her?

To be honest, she just wants to study hard to repay the expectations of the Great Guardian now, and has no intention of falling in love.

According to the previous practice, she would not pay attention to the man now.

But he helped her.

Cocolia gently gathered the golden hair on her temples and invited the man in front of her:

"Do you want soda? I'll buy you a drink. This is my thank you gift. Please don't refuse."

The man looked at Cocolia's soft eyebrows and agreed at once.

It was still the same bench, but this time there were three people sitting on it.

But the conversation was mainly between Cocolia and Shiluwa.

The man sitting next to Cocolia just listened silently.

Strangely, Cocolia didn't feel disgusted.

She had never sat on the same bench with a man before.

This was the first time.

Inadvertently, her white and smooth shoulders touched the man's strong arms, but she didn't care, just laughed at Shiluwa's jokes.

The man admired Cocolia's flower-like smile and felt a little emotional.

It turned out that she also had such a youthful and lively appearance...
