People in Xingtie are good at hugging thighs

Time: 699 years after the city building calendar, unknown in the Amber calendar

Location: Beloberg, Iron Guard restricted area, Silvermane Iron Guard temporary base.

This is the border between the Iron Guard restricted area and the Echo Corridor. At present, this place is the focus of Beloberg’s military defense.

Our protagonist, Mercer Vova, was currently sitting cross-legged in front of the heater in the Iron Guard tent, staring in a daze at the flickering flames in front of him.

The soft white hair on his head had been crumpled into a ball by him out of frustration. Mercer was very sad now.

As a time traveler who was sent here from the Celestial Empire by a dump truck, Moser naturally has a golden finger, but now the functions of his golden finger have been mostly sealed.

And all of this is thanks to Mercer's damn... um, kind-hearted boss, the God of Balance, Hu.

If it weren't for this guy who used the power of balance to repair his Taotie core and the safety protocol that had been damaged due to interstellar drifting.

Mercer estimated that he could have taken off on the spot long ago, so there was no need to fight monsters and level up in such a methodical way!

"Ugh!"

He looked up to the sky and sighed, then scratched the white hair on his head angrily again, and then scanned the surroundings with his bright red, gem-like eyes.

Moser then took out a piece of earth marrow ore from the energy storage furnace of his front heater, weighed it with the small scale he brought with him, and then skillfully put it into the grinding cup at hand.

Don't ask him why he has to weigh even the ore he eats.

Earth marrow ore is a good thing, and it contains high energy, but in the final analysis, it is because it contains a trace of protective power!

However, how could things related to the Star God be so easy to digest?

Even with the blessing of the Taotie core, as long as Moser dared to eat a little more in a short period of time, he would have to embrace the VIP bed of the anorectal department the next day.

Watching the earth marrow dust gradually shattering in the cup and then rising up, Moser's nostrils twitched slightly twice. While waiting, he silently checked his current energy storage progress.

【Name: Mercer Vova】

【Level: 19】

[Class: Regular student, reserve enhanced soldier]

[Energy core (Taotie), current energy storage progress 91%, power armor (model not found): ready, mechanical armor: no permission obtained]

[Status: Healthy]

(Note 1: The level here refers to the energy level of the character, which has nothing to do with the actual combat power. It is mainly to provide a rough reference.)

Wow~~~

Just as Moser was looking at his shabby system panel and gnashing his teeth in discomfort.

At the door, with the sound of the tent curtain, a tall figure slowly walked in.

The man had shining golden hair and was holding a guitar case as tall as a person. He moved with great authority, and his tall and mighty figure was still fully displayed even when wrapped in the standard military uniform of the Silver Mane Iron Guards.

The person who came in was none other than Mercer's current superior, the Grand Guardian of the Silver Mane Guard - Jeppard.

【Jephard Landau】

【Level: 35】

【Condition: Healthy】

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Moser quickly destroyed the residue in the cup (drank it all in one gulp) and then quickly stood up to greet him.

He picked up the kettle attentively and filled his boss's coffee before Moser sat down again.

"Whoo~"

After taking a sip of the coffee in the cup with peace of mind, Jeppard showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

After a while, when his body gradually warmed up, a few softening lines finally appeared on Jeppard's stern face.

After stretching a few times, looking at Mercer who seemed a little upset beside him, Jeppard thought for a moment out of concern for his friend and then tried to play a joke on Mercer.

"Why haven't you slept yet? Is it because you can't sleep because you miss Bronya?"

Hearing this, Moser's body suddenly stiffened. You are really bringing up something that is not relevant to the topic!

I was already in a bad mood, and now it's even worse... No, I can't be the only one who is unhappy!

With a turn of his eyes, Mercer looked at Jeppard who was still drinking coffee beside him and opened fire.

He first let out a long sigh, and then spoke to Jeppard with a heart full of resentment.

"Haha, yes, I really couldn't sleep because I missed Bronya so much."

"What a pity! I am a nobody and my words carry no weight. I probably won't be able to go back to Beloberg in this lifetime. Boss, why don't you use your super wisdom to help me find a solution!"

Jeppard: "..."

Hearing what Mercer said, the soft lines on Jeppard's face suddenly disappeared.

While regretting in his heart why he had to bring up this matter for no reason, Jeppard moved his butt away calmly.

Mercer: Look!

"Ugh!"

After a moment, the thin-skinned guard officer Jeppard finally couldn't stand Mercer's resentful look and silently moved his body back.

After a long sigh, looking at Mercer who was staring at him intently, Jeppard responded very reluctantly.

"Alright! Then wait until this mission is over and you and I will return to Beloberg together. I believe that the Great Guardian of Cocolia will still give me this little bit of face."

"Great! I knew you still loved me, Boss."

Hearing this, Mo Se's face was instantly filled with smiles, and he was very attentive and filled his boss's cup with coffee again.

Silently taking the cup handed to him by Mercer, Jeppard felt a little nervous.

Last time, because of Miss Bronya's problem, Great Guardian Cocolia and Mercer almost fought in Klipper Castle.

this time...

After hesitating for a moment, although he knew that he was far from being a match for Mercer in terms of reasoning, Jeppard finally couldn't help but speak.

"I can't comment on what happened between you and Bronya, but Great Guardian Cocolia is a reasonable man. I think if you two can sit down and have a good talk, maybe..."

"There's nothing to be said for sure. This isn't a question of reason at all. Kokolia is just too controlling."

Before Jeppard could finish his words, Mercer waved his hand to interrupt Jeppard's next words, and then explained to Jeppard with a calm expression.

"I have made quite a few contributions over the years, but you can see that her attitude towards me has not changed at all."

"She just dismantled the Icefield Bear Camp that I had worked so hard to build, and she also took the blame for disobeying orders and command on the battlefield."

"Unless I give up being with Bronya, the conflict between us is completely irreconcilable."

"but..."

Just as Jeppard's heart was sinking into the abyss with Mercer's angry words, Mercer suddenly changed the subject.

"However, Boss, you don't need to worry too much about the conflict between me and Cocolia continuing to escalate."

"After all, think about it from another perspective. If my little cabbage was taken away by someone, I would probably be more radical than Cocolia! So after I go back this time, I decided to put up with her for a while."

Patting Jeppard on the shoulder seriously, Mercer said, "Boss, look how good I am to you."

However, at this moment, Jeppard's thoughts had drifted away.

Just now, as perceptive as Jeppard was, when he was recalling this incident, he suddenly realized that this matter did not seem as simple as it seemed!

"Is this really the only reason why the Great Guardian of Kokolia exiled Mercer?"

To be honest, no matter from which angle he looked at it, he could hardly understand what the Great Guardian of Cocolia did.

Not to mention that the Great Guardian of Cocolia has never been a person who would neglect his work because of his emotions.

Even if I put myself in his shoes, what if Moser kidnapped my own Lingbao...

Emmm, although there is a little bitterness in his heart, it seems that this is the only uncomfortable emotion for Jeppard.

I have to admit that Mercer is definitely an extremely high-quality man, especially since I watched him grow up.

He has a good personality, is strong, and looks good. Even in terms of status, a fallen noble is still a noble!

Even though both parents are dead...oh, no, according to my elder sister, this seems to be a big advantage.

It was precisely because of this that Shiluwa had been actively promoting her younger sister to Mercer a long time ago.

Unfortunately, before the elder sister's plan could succeed in souring their relationship, Mercer was exiled to the frontier...

So, faced with such outstanding talents, what exactly is the Great Guardian of Cocolia worried about?

My instinct told me that there was something wrong, but I couldn't find where the problem was.
