Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

So what she meant was that we shouldn't use "radical" methods.

Lin Si smiled.

"Don't worry, sister. The current Grand Guardian is my mother."

Upon hearing this, Hiluva visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled again and reached out to pat Bronya on the shoulder.

"Bronya, you've really changed a lot."

Lin Si smiled but didn't reply.

The two parted ways at the street corner.

Hiluva walked towards the machine shop, while Lin Si turned and walked towards Kripper Castle.

The massive building stands at the highest point of the upper district, its dome gleaming coldly in the wind.

Lin Si looked up.

Cripper Fort.

It's time to go see "Mother".

==========

Cripper Castle, the High Protector's Office.

Lin Si stood at the office door and knocked.

no respond.

He knocked twice more.

still none.

Lin Si pushed the door open and entered.

The office is large, but not particularly impressive.

It looks quite neat overall, but only in the "overall" sense.

It's not suitable for use on an office desk.

The documents were scattered everywhere, some spread out, some stacked together, and a few lying on the ground, clearly indicating that the owner had left in a hurry.

Lin Si walked closer and took a look.

Most of them are common administrative matters: resource allocation, iron guard mobilization, reports on boundary erosion...

There's not much useful information.

He withdrew his gaze and began to look around.

Then he saw an ice spear standing in the corner of the office.

The gun was long and slender, its entire body crystal clear, as if carved from a single block of ice. Even from several steps away, one could feel the chill emanating from it.

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

He brought up the game system and scanned it.

The Great Guardian's Lance

[Type: Special Item/Weapon]

[Description: A weapon passed down through generations of Great Guardians, but it has long since lost its original master. It waits, waiting for someone who can awaken it once more.]

[Note: Is this Belloberg's real magic weapon?]

Lin Si narrowed her eyes as she looked at the description.

"Belloberg's true magic weapon? What does that mean?"

He muttered something to himself.

"It can only be activated by the energy of destiny, right?"

He stepped forward and reached out to grasp the ice spear.

My first impression upon handling it was that it was cold.

It wasn't the kind of bone-chilling cold, but a quiet kind of cold.

It's like the kind of cold you feel when you're standing alone on a snow-covered plain in the dead of night.

Quiet, empty, nothing at all.

Then......

The ice gun started to melt.

Lin Si: "......."

He paused for a few seconds, then looked down at the gun in his hand.

The ice on the gun was melting at a visible rate, and glistening fragments fell through the gaps between the fingers, revealing the reddish-brown metal underneath.

what's the situation? !

Isn't it "waiting for someone who can reawaken it"?!

How did it melt?!

I'm not here to help you pass on to the afterlife!

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice came from the doorway.

Bronya!

Lin Si turned her head.

Cocolia stood at the door, holding a document in her hand, as if she had just rushed back from a meeting.

Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at the gun in Lin Si's hand.

The gun that is melting away.

The Great Guardian's Lance.

A weapon that has been passed down for seven hundred years.

It is being 'reawakened'.

The scattered fragments of blue light reflected in her eyes, like two burning stars.

The document slipped from her hand and fell to the ground with a thud.

She didn't pick it up.

"you......!"

Cocolia's voice trembled slightly.

She looked at Bronya, at the daughter she had protected since childhood, at the child she thought would never be able to bear the weight of this world.

Then, a look of joy broke out on her face.

It was a feeling of ecstatic relief.

It's like someone who has been walking in the dark for too long, so long that she's despaired, so long that she wants to give up, so long that she's become numb.

But finally, a long-awaited glimmer of hope appeared.

“Bronya..…”

She rushed over in three strides and hugged Bronya tightly.

Her voice was trembling, her eyes were red, and the image of the calm and rational guardian she usually had was completely gone.

"My child..."

Chapter 44 Bronya, you are my eternal pride

Lin Si stared blankly at the woman who was hugging Bronya and sobbing uncontrollably.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at the lance in his hand, which had been completely melted by the ice and snow, and seemed to understand something.

The lance was radiating intense heat.

It wasn't a scalding heat, but a warm, reassuring temperature.

It's like holding a cup of hot tea in the snow, or like receiving a hug in the cold wind.

This temperature is a luxury in Belleburg.

Taking into account Cocolia's reaction and the description of this lance,

It's not hard to deduce.

In the seven hundred years since Belleburg, no one has ever received the Amber King's Glance.

But when was Bronya spotted by the Amber King?

Lin Si didn't understand.
