Steel steam and flame

After Doris fell asleep, Cassia, who was worried that her mood would rebound again, came out of the room. They had only been together for less than a few days, but he already had the feeling of taking care of his grown-up sister. In the small town, my sister Lilia is also very annoying in daily life. There were no other playmates around, so only Cassia had time to spend with her when she was resting.

After walking around in the corridor and checking the conditions of the corridor and elevator shaft, Cassia finally returned to the room with the golden skull. Close the window, draw the thick curtains, move a chair to sit down, and then pour yourself a glass of cold juice. Finally, check the condition of the revolver and test how comfortable it is to hang the bullet bag on your waist. By the time everything was ready, the night had deepened.

The lights outside should also be reduced a lot. After Cassia woke up from her semi-sleep, she walked to the window behind her with this mood, opened a corner and looked out.

In front of the hotel is a wide road that stretches across the past. There are very few limousines passing through it at this time, and there are no pedestrians. The street lights in summer are as deserted and lonely as before.

There were no suspicious vehicles and no suspicious people. After waiting in the room for a while, there was still no sign of anyone coming. Cassia went to Doris' room to take a look. The petite body under the quilt was still asleep, and her breathing remained normal.

"It seems that we can't wait for those people to come today." After coming out, Cassia looked at the time on the small alarm clock and frowned and said, "I still have enough time here, and it won't be a problem to wait a few more nights. Something that is impossible. But it is not clear how much they know about the contemporary Holy Emperor's plan. If they are just people who carry out the Holy Emperor's orders, then after they meet Doris here, they will have no choice but to continue to the Endless Sea. Hurry up and finally leave the empire. If this is the case, it seems that the deal with Grote cannot be completed."

"But I believe that no matter what the Holy Emperor's purpose is, he will not allow such a situation to happen. Even if it is just a bone that cannot produce any results, at least that is what Grote said. But on the surface The mission is the remains of the Thirteenth Holy Emperor. If they are really taken away, it will have a bad impact on the Holy Emperor Hall. At least if they are held accountable in the end, the Holy Emperor should not be able to escape the relationship." Xia deduced the possible development of things in her mind. Just like the tightly meshed gears on a clock dial, the movement of one gear will cause all the gears in the dial to move accordingly. "So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, in those cases There should be someone among the housekeepers who knows the whole thing, so that when things get out of control, they can find a reason for Doris to stay in the empire instead of really leaving. But if they also have a relationship with Doris The same, just obeying the orders of the Holy Emperor and helping to protect Doris. Correspondingly, in order to prevent their entire team from losing control, another team must secretly control them. And Terunari and the others cannot tonight The reason why we got here in time may be because this team played a role in the middle. As for why, it was because they felt that the time left for Doris was not enough and they needed to give her more alone time."

Cassia glanced at the table next to her, where there was a golden skull wrapped in red cloth. Subconsciously, he touched his head, where his hair had grown a long length, and said to himself: "Assuming my guess is correct, then some things can be explained smoothly. These housekeepers are also part of the plan, Like Doris, they were also shrouded in mist. Perhaps the order they received was to simply protect and assist Doris. Among them, allowing Doris to go on a long journey alone was already decided by the contemporary Holy Emperor. Good thing. A long time ago, the Holy Emperors may have known through some means that Grote was still alive in a special form. So in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, they needed to give Doris and Grote some alone time. opportunity, and create the real illusion that Doris is escaping from pursuit, in order to stimulate Grote to tell a secret that a certain contemporary Holy Emperor, or several generations of Holy Emperors, want to know?"

At least in terms of creating an atmosphere, Cassia believes that the contemporary Holy Emperor has succeeded. On the train, Groat did mentally guide himself to kill the five surgeons.

And Cassia does not think that the saint's age is an accidental factor. He is more inclined to use the little girl's simple character and thoughts as a way to make Grote relax his vigilance and reveal something.

What secrets were forever lost in history with the death of the first generation of Knight King. And this secret may be related to the plans of generations of Holy Emperors to resist, break free and retaliate against the Empire.

What could it be? Cassia's mind is far from the concept of such a thing.

Holy sword body? He himself shook his head first. This should be the most important thing to the empire and could not be lost with the death of the first generation of Knight King. Maybe it will be something else of great weight, but that's not certain. If the Holy Emperors want to negotiate, take revenge, and have their own freedom, they must have the bargaining chip to get to the negotiating table safely.

Could it be the second-generation holy sword? Cassia thought about what Grote gave herself as a bargaining chip in the spiritual world. Cassia, who has no pure concept of a technological product modeled after the Holy Sword, thinks it may have such power.

Even though it is already late at night, bright lights are still flashing in the continuous dome buildings of the old castle. The cold light kills the hot summer air. Staff members with busy faces are standing there. I hurriedly walked down the tangled corridor, handing in documents that needed to be processed.

In the corner of this building, a hard and gorgeous wooden door was knocked, reminding the person in the quiet room who was immersed in a book to raise his head.

"Please come in." The person sitting in the room put the bookmark and closed the book and said. He took off the pair of glasses he was wearing and looked at the door on the right front. A man in black work clothes was looking at him.

"Good evening, Lord Holy Emperor." The age of the visitor was not much different from the people sitting in the room. They were all middle-aged, and their hair had begun to turn gray. Even though there are some wrinkles on his face, above the wrinkles, he looks energetic.

"Lumi, I haven't seen you for several days. You are such a busy man." The man known as the Holy Emperor seemed to have seen an old friend, with a smile on his lips. His voice was naturally magnetic and his tone was gentle, like the lazy sunshine in the afternoon that made people want to fall asleep. "Is there any latest news about the remains of the thirteenth Holy Emperor?"
