Steel steam and flame

It only took half a day the next day to collect the necessary information. There are many people in the construction alleys who make a living by running errands and selling information. A little money can get several times the return. The currency is common to the Empire, the Flame Alliance and the Far Sea Commonwealth. On the main street, Cassia and the others discovered the shadow of the Golden Bank, together with the buildings of other giant companies located throughout this huge city.

However, the quota of the imperial currency does not seem to be very applicable here, and the exchange quota with the currencies of the other two countries is not in a one-to-one relationship. A little less, keeping the ratio at 1.5:1.

According to those people, this change only happened recently. Although many industries and forces related to the empire have long expressed dissatisfaction with this, their assets and money are evaporating unknowingly due to proportional relationships. But in the face of the combined power of the other two countries, and before the empire behind them fully expresses its stance and takes weathervane-like actions, they can only fidget outside the city for a while. The real war is far from over. Get to the point where you started.

Return to hotel in the afternoon. When Delya and Cassia went out, they not only brought back more delicious food, but also high-performance firearms and sufficient ammunition, as well as new clothes and cosmetics. The owners of weapons shops and small workshops in the deep streets and alleys almost all take the interests of businessmen to the extreme. A city in the gray zone is the central gathering point of a region, with countless small settlements extending around it. The reason why these shops exist is that people outside the city are feeding them with money. After all, as one of the few huge cities in the gray area, even if they all use the same production process and use the same materials and gunpowder ratio, the things in the city should be much better than their own small residence, right? Most people have this idea.

Without the knowledge and familiarity with various firearms, Cassia might have bought inferior ammunition. The explosion during battle can be fatal. The vendors here cut corners and omit the ammunition to the point of art. That's an amazing "sword skill".

After returning to the hotel, I spent a few hours preparing, almost all of which was spent on applying facial makeup. They cannot trade with their true colors.

The original plan was adjusted before nightfall.

It was originally planned that Delya and Cassia would sell one or two red mercury fragments. Later, because the weak connection between Cassia and Lina was still there, which made it easier for them to move and cooperate, Delya was replaced. Moreover, Lina's actual strength is greater than Delya's, and so is her familiarity with gray areas.

We left the hotel after the sun completely set behind the horizon. Cassia prefers the image of a full-time housekeeper for a nobleman, dragging a suitcase containing a light machine gun and a large number of steel-cased bombs. Lina is more like Delya, with the temperament of a small power leader, carrying a bag.

The two of them acted separately, keeping the maximum distance between them according to the degree of weak induction in their bodies. After wandering around the already decided selling location for a long time and getting a clear picture of the details and the location of the surrounding buildings, the two of them entered it one after the other. But Cassia's suitcase was seized, and inspectors thought the contents were too horrifying. This building is a high-rise building in the city, and there are many guests with precious identities.

From the very beginning he didn't attract any attention, then later the manager wearing a familiar black dress jumped down the stairs with black hard leather shoes and invited Linna to sit in the living room to discuss the details of the transaction in detail. The whole process was still in the situation they had anticipated in advance.

The fragments are the two largest pieces. According to the weight, the transaction price is 200 million, but they are not the holy coins of the Saint Dorag Empire, but the currency of the Flame Alliance, and the unit name is Kaou. When all the money was transferred to the Golden Bank's card through the difference machine, what happened next was not as far from what Cassia expected. The biggest difference was that after they exited the tall building, the number of people following behind them was far more than they expected.

Liquid red mercury holds one of the highest positions in the world of darkness. Even the finished white limestone and the latest models of diodes stand at its feet. Solid red mercury has been rumored in the ears of the top leaders of these forces. When several superpower scientific research institutions joined forces to develop this technology, it attracted a lot of people's attention. But the end result was disappointing.

The research and development process and results were absolutely successful, but for reasons known to very few people, the technology of solid red mercury was directly sealed. Except for the original scientific research institutions involved, no one knows how the hexagonal cylindrical solid crystal is produced.

Afterwards, a signal composed of different mixed frequencies was transmitted from the high-rise building through the extended antenna, and then the signal was like bacteria that multiplied rapidly in a laboratory petri dish, from one to countless in a very short time. In several other giant cities in the gray zone, a large number of airships took off at the same time, with Fort Bolas as the destination, and they would all gather together with elite personnel within a few hours to more than ten hours. .

"Mobilize all the people from the special mobile team. Don't they call themselves the night watchmen of the company? I must see considerable results tomorrow morning!" It is also a tall building, and "Mining Source Company" is translated as There are three kinds of characters written side by side, decorated with colorful gas lights, and the shining shadows can be seen in most of the city. In a spacious room with a standard office style, someone was shouting into a microphone. He was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face who flattened the microphone tube with the force of his fingers. Behind him stood a row of people, including secretaries and deputy managers from different departments. No one spoke, only the middle-aged man shouted into the microphone, and the glass windows made a rattling noise.

"But their duty is to guard the warehouse! There can't be any problems here!" There was also anger on the other side.

"Warehouse? What a crappy thing! Those stacked ores? The image has been sent to me. This is not the dry red mercury powder you think of as a treasure, it is a real crystal!" said the middle-aged man, "Blino The thing is that all the people in charge of our entire gray area are building bridges. There is a big problem now. In this period, if you don’t want to be dealt with under the curtain of war in a few years, you’d better be on the crystal Pay more attention to things. You have to understand that the reason why the headquarters is interested in them is not just because they have lost the energy to drive the violent machine! They are all dispatched, and other forces are taking action. I don’t want to send people to fight outside the city again. "

"You are responsible for..." Then intermittent sounds came from the microphone that was held flat by one hand, but the middle-aged man no longer paid attention to it. The room immediately fell into oppressive silence.

"Director." Someone finally spoke behind him. It was a beautiful female secretary. Her voice was calm, which naturally cleared away the irritability in the room.
