角色故事•三(解锁条件:角色等级60)
大守护者的决策是正确的。
战事过后,贝洛伯格的许多人终于暂歇一口气,重新拾起那尚不完整的简单日常。然而,包括戍卫官在内的人们并不知道——待虚伪的和平过后,他们即将面对的只有更加惨烈的长期拉锯;若无外物干涉,这旷日持久的战事将以贝洛伯格的陨落作结。
此时,他正在寝室中检查自己的盾牌「壁垒」是否运转如初。这架沉重的力场防护装置由他的姐姐用琴盒亲手改装而成一一如果真出了什么问题,可怜的戍卫官恐怕又要向那位历来放飞自我的摇滚明星求援了。
「杰帕德,如果,我是说如果,」他想起她的话,「如果有一天,大守护者命令你放弃贝洛伯格的人民,只为了实现她的某个目的…你会怎么做?」
「她绝不会那么做。她是大守护者。」他很坚定。
「我是说如果。」她看着他。
「我不清楚你为什么如此发问,但我已向克里珀立下存护誓言。我将捍卫贝洛伯格与她的人民,不计任何代价——当然也包括我的生命。」
「如果有一天,保护人民意味着违抗大守护者的命令,并且无论如何选择都会令我深陷险境,那我仍会选择前者。因为这才是我该做的事。」
他们沉默。然后,她大笑。
「杰帕德啊杰帕德……」
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
The Supreme Guardian made the correct choice.
After the war, many residents of Belobog could finally let out a sigh of relief and pick up the pieces of their simple lives. However, not even the Captain himself could have imagined that after this facade for peace, they would face an ever more tragic all-out war. Without outside help, this protracted war would usher in the demise of all Belobog.
Right now, he is checking whether his shield, Earthwork, is still functioning as before. This heavy force field device was hand-crafted by his sister out of an instrument case — and if anything is broken, the poor captain would have to rely on his rockstar of a sister to help fix it.
"Gepard, if — and I do mean, if — " he thinks back to her words, "If one day, the Supreme Guardian orders you to abandon the people of Belobog to complete some goal of hers... What would you do?"
"She would never do that. She is the Supreme Guardian." He was resolute.
"I'm speaking hypothetically." She looked at him.
"I'm not sure why you're asking, but I've pledged an Oath of Preservation to Qlipoth. I will protect Belobog and her people at any cost — including my own life, of course."
"If one day, protecting the people means disobeying the Supreme Guardian's orders — and if either choice would land me in danger — then I'd still choose the former, because that is what I'm supposed to do."
They both fell silent, before she laughed out loud.
"Gepard, oh Gepard..."
"You really are a Landau, aren't you?"
