Steel steam and flame

Grote showed a knowing smile, which made Cassia feel a knot in her heart.

"Little guy, you have to know that there is a reason why I brought you into my spiritual world. It's not that things have reached this point and I have no choice but to choose you as the person I want a fair deal. Even if I have no choice in the end. , I won’t make do with anything at will. Some things cannot be replaced with substitutes. Do you know this truth?” Grote asked, “Your guess is correct. My bones are so important. Because of my previous title of Knight King. Don’t you think it’s strange that there have only been two Knight Kings in the empire for so long? Or, what do you think it takes to be crowned Knight King?”

"I don't know. I have only been exposed to knowledge about surgery and dragons for less than a few months. I have only scratched the surface of many things." Cassia shook her head and answered.

"The conditions for becoming the King of Knights can be said to be very harsh, or very simple." Grote said, "I don't know what the situation is like in the empire now, but the coronation condition at that time was to free the Holy Sword itself. As long as the operation is completed After five stages of fusion, you have the qualifications to try. But even with the number of surgeons in the empire at that time, I was the only one who successfully liberated."

There was no pride in Grote's words when he said this. On the contrary, it was full of ridicule.

"This is not a good thing, at least it can be seen from the way I talk to you now." He said, "My bones are kept in the Holy Emperor's Hall to study why I can become the King of Knights and liberate The secret of the Holy Sword itself. They are destined to be disappointed, because even I don’t know the reason. It’s a joke to say that, as the highest level combat power in the empire, it is generated completely by mathematical random events. Yes, how can this not worry those in power in the empire?"

"So they want to turn this random event into a probability problem through research. As long as it is possible, they just need to add numbers to it in the future." Cassia said, "Whether it was then or now, the Empire There is no shortage of people there. And maybe in your time, people would be cheaper. After all, prisoners of war from neighboring countries are not even commodities to you."

"That's it, you are very smart." Grott nodded and sighed. The fire in front of him was kept at a small fire, and the wood was doing the final burning. "This is also the reason why I don't like the Empire. At that time, Mano The royal family of the kingdom can at least regard human life as human life, but when the status of the empire is truly determined, human life has become a quantity and a cheap tool. And the person who made things become like that is me. Own."

"My whole life I have been a joke. Grandpa said he should be blamed in the end. But in the end, the person who made things go to the abyss step by step has always been myself." Grote said bleakly, and this emotion was left to Even today, he couldn't completely let go of his mind. "The contemporary Holy Emperor asked the Saint to take my remains out, maybe it's for this reason. After all, the Knight King has the highest single combat power in the empire, no matter on the surface, Or secretly. Whether it is Houxiang Continent or other continents, this is an indisputable fact. But unlike the Empire, other continents have found a feasible method to cultivate such people in a planned and orderly manner. combat effectiveness. Not to say 100%, this is impossible. At least they know why some people can become such the highest combat effectiveness. As long as they have this, that is enough. And the current state of the empire may still be in a state of confusion. I guess. After the death of the second King of Knights, there was such a long gap in the middle before the clues of the third King of Knights appeared, which is enough to tell these things."

"Then if the third generation of Knight King is truly crowned, will other countries, such as the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, intervene in this matter again?" Cassia asked, this is related to Nuoer's matter, "Can the Holy Spirit be liberated?" Is the sword really so scary?"

"Of course!" Grote answered simply, "When you have the opportunity to come into contact with this level of things, you will understand why other countries are afraid of this kind of power and have restricted it. To put it more directly, all the time For a long time, it was not people who feared people, but the Holy Sword itself. The Holy Sword was not made by science and technology in the empire, but was dug out of the ground by the former Kingdom of Mano. The Empire relied on Things created by science and technology have other names. They are called the first-generation holy sword and the second-generation holy sword. They are driven by auxiliary power and the surgeon's own bioelectric induction force field, and are also extremely powerful. In the past, when dealing with dragons, In addition to relying on professional ammunition and firearms, another method for surgeons is their own bioelectric induction force field."

"Know this?" Looking at Cassia's serious face, Grote stopped and asked. The flames began to grow smaller and his speech began to increase in speed.

"I probably know a little bit about it." Cassia thought of what Sucarius had not explained clearly to him in the dream, which was also about the bioelectric induction field.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I think even now, except for dragons or the elder-like existences of the second type of creatures, there are no people in the human race who understand its true meaning." Grote briefly explained. This topic, "So it is certain that other countries will intervene against the third-generation Knight King of the empire, not to mention that they are still on the verge of war. But this has nothing to do with you. The battle between them, except for the fact that you have someone behind your back." The big forces are willing to listen to your orders. I don't think you have the ability to intervene now. Even if you are in the next few years, I don't think it is possible. It will take some time for you to grow up. Now you just need to concentrate on completing the two of us. Transactions between individuals are enough, and let the higher-ups of the empire worry about other matters. If you have the opportunity to stand on the top of the pyramid in the future, you will also be able to appreciate what the scenery is like above."

The flame suddenly burst out at this moment, as if it was making a final struggle.

"Time is running out. You have also seen the condition of this flame. I have been the boss for so many years. If I don't have much time, I will die." Grote said with a smile on his face, "I hope you can To fulfill the deal between us, I have already said that I do not have any binding ability on you, so in the end it can only depend on my vision. And it is not for nothing that you do things for me. As a reward, I give it to you. The thing is a sword. It is a second-generation holy sword made by the empire. It is somewhat damaged, but it can still be used. I hope you like it."

Then, before Cassia could answer, the fire suddenly went out and the surrounding area fell into darkness. He felt someone gently rubbing his temples, and there was an unusually comfortable feeling there.

He opened his eyes and found that he was still in the train carriage, and time seemed to pass very slowly.
