Steel steam and flame

After a moment of silence, the fire in front of him finally became normal. The wood in the shallow pit was indeed burning less and less, and the flames gradually became smaller.

"My mental power has weakened a lot during this period. I have been dead for so long, and everything is gnawing at the original foundation." Grote looked at the fire and said, "You will know the mental power in the future. Power is something weird, and I can’t explain it right now.”

Cassia could only nod.

"The first reason I brought you in here is to apologize to you. After all, I influenced you to do such a thing in the car. Although this may not mean anything to you, you are being led by something else to do something you don't want to do." No matter how willing you are to do something, no one will feel comfortable." Grote's face showed a sincere apology, "I'm sorry, I had no other choice at the time, that little girl was very good to me, and she wasn't a bad person either. . As a pure saint, these things are still too far away for her. If it affects her emotions to do these things, I think her own spirit and world concept will first collapse on their own. So at that time, she could only You did something like this.”

"Don't worry, even if you weren't there at that time, I think I would have shot." Cassia said, "Those five people were not like me and would hesitate. When the man found me , the next move will be to turn the gun and shoot me. Even though I will feel uncomfortable and blame myself, but compared to my own life, I will definitely choose to shoot in advance. I can't die yet. Maybe you don't know my situation , In the past few months, from the time I was exposed to firearms and surgery to the person sitting here now, my mentality may have changed too much."

"Things like surgery and dragon tissue are indeed the best catalysts for anyone's growth." Grote nodded, "I was about to return to middle age in a few months. After losing my youth, it also greatly changed my cognition at the time, as well as my self-concept that I thought was indestructible. All the things that happened after I became a surgeon made me completely disconnected from the world of ordinary people, not us surgeons Beyond ordinary people, we have evolved into more advanced beings. We have only evolved physically and become demons comparable to steel. But mentally, we have obviously degraded a lot. In the world of surgeons, except for blood With killing, all that is left is the pathological pursuit of power and money. Compared to ordinary humans, we are countless times crazier. I hope you can keep a part of your heart as clean as possible in the future."

Then Grote stood up and stretched, his bones crackling as he sat here for too long.

"The next thing is the second thing. You can think of it as a deal. I don't know if you can accept it." Grote looked down at Cassia and asked, "It is not a dangerous deal, but it is also a deal that is helpful to you. The future turmoil of the empire is completely foreseeable. Although they want to use the power of the Holy Infant to block the other two continents, the people on the other two continents are not fools. They are much smarter than the empire. I once said When I was the King of Knights, I crossed the central sea current and took them there. In their eyes, the empire at that time was still a fledgling that had never grown up, and it was not worth their efforts at all. So when I was cleaned up, I was just People within the empire took action, so I am not dead now. I don’t know what the empire has developed into now. But from the fact that the third generation of knight kings has only appeared now, we can also see the technology of the empire. Development was not smooth sailing. Once there was a conflict with the forces on the other two continents, either the empire would truly rule the Houxiang Continent and gain a firm foothold, or it would be completely wiped out by the forces on the Left and Right Continent, leaving nothing behind. There is no other option. And this transaction may allow you to survive this wave for a while longer and give yourself more room to grow. I said that you are still a little guy who has not broken out of his shell. Please believe in a person who was once The words of the man who is the King of Knights.”

"What the deal is, I want to hear." Cassia did not agree immediately. The current situation is different from Sucarius's time. He has the right to choose.

"I only have two requests. One is to protect this little girl. No matter what method you use or where you place her, that is your business. Just make sure she lives and lives well. Grote said that he loves this generation of saints very much.

"Okay, I will find a way." Cassia replied, "Although she may be related to my mission."

"Thank you." Grote had finished moving and sat down again, the flames of the fire became smaller again, "The second is to help me find my body, which is the pile of bones in the body that were separated from my skull. Although I still want to live, I don't like this kind of programmed life. I lived for more than a hundred years before I died, and I can't die after I die. It's really a troublesome thing. After getting my own body, I will choose to self-destruct, which can be regarded as the end of my life. Living for a long time will be very tiring. At that time, you can just throw my bones into the endless sea, and this will be considered the deal is completed. ."

Cassia thought for a moment and agreed.

Grote smiled and said: "Thank you for trusting me. You also know that I have no ability to restrain you at all, so I can only choose this approach."

"It's just a transaction, no need to thank me." Cassia shook her head.

"But I still have to thank you, because the transaction is not easy to complete." Grote continued, "The escape of the saint with my bones this time was not an accident, and of course it was not instigated by me. The saint did this. According to the little girl’s words, the contemporary saint emperor asked her to act like this.”

"Contemporary Holy Emperor?" Cassia was surprised. "If this is the case, does it mean that my mission to find the remains of the thirteenth Holy Emperor is just a cover for public announcement?"

"I don't know, that's all I know. But according to the available information, the Red Star, the King of Knights, the war, and the people I said are qualified to be the Holy Emperor are all very talented, and each of them is not People who are willing to be manipulated by others. However, due to various reasons, every generation of Holy Emperors has not been able to escape the cage of imprisonment. And when the empire is facing such a special situation now, I think with the keen intuition of the contemporary Holy Emperors, it is impossible not to do He needs to do something to save himself," Grote analyzed. "So your guess is very likely to be correct, and it may be just a small part of a plan. As for what the contemporary Holy Emperor wants to do, only he himself knows."

"Then what did he want the saint to do with your skull?" Cassia asked her question, "It may be a little rude, Mr. Grote, you have been dead for so many years, and there is only a pile of bones left. According to my understanding, if the person concerned is unwilling and wants to invade a person's spiritual world, that is completely the domain of the gods. So without knowing your existence, Mr. Grote, they don't know what the use of a pile of bones will be. If you say it is for enshrinement, as a religious item in the church, I won’t believe it.”

"Then after I became Grote Rohm, who else would I become?"

"Qi..., Shiwang?"
