Star Dome: The opening made Black Tower regret for life

It was already dark outside the window, and the turbulent rainwater made winding and branching traces along the dome skylight. The rain gradually stopped. Cocolia stood by the window and looked into the distance, with some complicated emotions in her eyes.

There is actually no good scenery outside the window. They have seen the entire scenery of Belloberg for more than ten years and have long memorized every plant and tree here. There are only endless snow and tall buildings, as well as towering towers on the border. city ​​walls, nothing more.

Xi'er stood quietly at the foot of the steps. She didn't understand why her mother stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside. Was it to watch the rainstorm that was gradually subsided? Or the streets of Belloberg after the snow melts? Or look at the sky blocked by dark clouds?

Anyway, in her opinion, the only places with good scenery in Belloberg are the Golden Opera House and the Clover Couple Amusement Park, but no man can catch her eye, so she always takes Bronya to Clover. It's an amusement park for couples. Anyway, there is no law in Belloberg that prohibits people who are not lovers from entering, and she is not afraid of others gossiping.

"Have you always been curious about what I was standing at the window looking at?" Cocolia withdrew her gaze and broke the silence.

"Well, is mother looking down at the entire Belloberg?" Xier said softly.

"Yeah." Cocolia's slender fingers gently swept across the meandering traces of rainwater on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and memories appeared in her eyes, "Twenty years ago, the Golden Opera House was still bustling with people, and I would go there at six o'clock every morning. I would get up, wash up, and dress up carefully. I would stand on the steps of the Opera House holding a book, and while reading, I would quietly look up at the crowd, expecting someone to pass by me."

Cocolia tilted her head and smiled softly. Xi'er's expression was startled. She had never seen her mother show such a happy and sweet smile. Is that someone very important to her mother? Is he my mother's lover?

Xi'er was silent, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and almost all kinds of speculations came one after another.

"That path is the only way from the Landau family to Belloberg College. Whenever I raised my head and pretended to look at him casually, he would always smile and nod to me. I felt busy at the time. The hour was not wasted, and I even felt that I was in a good mood that day.”

Xi'er hesitated for a while and then said cautiously: "Landao family? Is it Aunt Xiluwa?"

Cocolia ignored her and continued talking to herself: "To this day, I often return to the steps of the Opera House, longing to meet him when I look up. But even if I stand from early morning to dusk, that road His shadow will not appear on the path. What I miss and love seems to turn into clouds and disappear in the sky."

Cocolia's eyes were blurry, as if her thoughts had drifted to the end of that distant time: "Loving someone is not easy. You have to stand out among millions of people and overcome many obstacles to get to him."

Cocolia paused, walked to the desk and sat down, looking directly at Xi'er: "Do you believe there is a power in this world that can tamper with everyone's memory, or even cover up the traces of his existence?"

"Tampering with everyone's memories? Even the power to cover up traces of his life?...Does this kind of power...really exist?" Xi'er couldn't believe it.

"Of course, there are too many unknown forces in this world." Cocolia said slowly, "Do you think what I said is all in the clouds and you can't understand what it is?"

"Well, I really didn't understand. Who is the person you are talking about, mother?" Xi'er admitted honestly.

"He...he is your father, the eighteenth generation guardian of Belloberg. He is the genius of the Landau family who was known as a genius when he was young...and he is also a person who is recognized by the world. Forgotten people.”

Cocolia took a deep breath, with firmness in her pupils: "Xie'er, you have not been interested in social etiquette since you were a child, and you even sneered at the topics of politicians, so I adopted Bu when you were young. Ronya, choose her to be the successor of the Great Guardian, I hope you will work with her to support the sky of Beloberg..."

"I have been thinking a long time ago that I have to make a choice between the world and him. I chose him without hesitation. Even for him, I can subvert the whole world and become an enemy of anyone. That's how people are, the same To some people the individual means the world, but to others it doesn't matter whether they live or die."

"But then I understood that parting is actually like this. The shadow of the person who leaves first will be dragged on the ground, very long, no matter how you chase it, it will be useless... This world is what he loves, and he will protect it to the death. ’s...how can I overthrow what he loves?”

"He is like the sun. It is both the setting sun and the rising sun every moment. When he is extinguishing and walking down the mountain to collect all the desolate remaining light, it is he who is burning on the other side and climbs to the top of the mountain to spread the fierce morning light. At that time, one day I will follow him quietly down the mountain, and that day, he and I will finally meet each other. Walking like that, I will not be lonely at all, and I will also be protecting everything he loves."

"Life is a long, long journey. My journey with him has reached the terminal. It's time to get off the bus, but your journey has just begun. As a father, he has fulfilled his duty, As a mother, I have fulfilled my responsibility, and the future path depends on you and Bronya, including Belloberg’s path as well.”

Cocolia paused, tenderness bursting out from the depths of her pupils: "This is the last thing I can do for you, living alone... is really tiring..."

Xier looked at Cocolia blankly, she opened her mouth to say something, she wanted to say, mother, how can you be lonely? Bronya and I are always by your side. She also wanted to ask about her father. She vaguely remembered something, but it was very vague. She wanted to ask everything clearly.

But suddenly a strong sense of dizziness hit her, and she took a few steps back uncontrollably. There was a buzz in her mind. Her eyelids were heavy, and her consciousness slowly dissipated. At the end, she tried hard to open her eyes. She wanted to see something, but in a daze, she vaguely saw a tear streaking across her face.

"The spring you promised has still not appeared, leaving me alone to love the world for you."

[What kind of ending can match the ups and downs along the way? 】

[Everything has an end, but longing does not. I am walking on this lonely road looking for your shadow, and want to look at the same night sky with you - Cocolia]
