角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60)
大守護者的決策是正確的。
戰事過後,貝洛伯格的許多人終於暫歇一口氣,重新拾起那尚不完整的簡單日常。然而,包括戍衛官在內的人們並不知道——待虛偽的和平過後,他們即將面對的只有更加慘烈的長期拉鋸;若無外物干涉,這曠日持久的戰事將以貝洛伯格的隕落作結。
此時,他正在寢室中檢查自己的盾牌「壁壘」是否運轉如初。這架沉重的力場防護裝置由他的姐姐用琴盒親手改裝而成一一如果真出了什麼問題,可憐的戍衛官恐怕又要向那位歷來放飛自我的搖滾明星求援了。
「傑帕德,如果,我是說如果,」他想起她的話,「如果有一天,大守護者命令你放棄貝洛伯格的人民,只為了實現她的某個目的…你會怎麼做?」
「她絕不會那麼做。她是大守護者。」他很堅定。
「我是說如果。」她看着他。
「我不清楚你為什麼如此發問,但我已向克里珀立下存護誓言。我將捍衛貝洛伯格與她的人民,不計任何代價——當然也包括我的生命。」
「如果有一天,保護人民意味着違抗大守護者的命令,並且無論如何選擇都會令我深陷險境,那我仍會選擇前者。因為這才是我該做的事。」
他們沉默。然後,她大笑。
「傑帕德啊傑帕德……」

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?"
