Steel steam and flame

"The time is not long, and we may never have the chance to meet again. I happened to hear something about you while I was resting. I had nothing to do, so I came over." Mrs. Manshelay continued, "You She is my youngest daughter. Compared with your brothers and sisters, most of them have completed most of their accumulation in advance, and they are much more mature than you in how they view family problems and how to deal with them. So I don’t worry about them much. "

"Actually, as major forces in the empire, each force has something in common. After all, when we first took root in the empire, everyone had a very difficult time, but they supported each other and got through it. Everyone learned from each other and learned from each other. It is normal to do this. Even though these practices are annoying, as time goes by, the relationship between the major forces becomes increasingly weak, until it becomes the current situation. If you want to survive in the empire, you have to It is inevitable. You also know that we old people will be frozen after going to the ice field. Either we can be thawed one day, then injected with hormones, burn our lives, and be used by the family to the last value. Or it is Die slowly in the freeze, and finally the body becomes food for the captive dragons. There are only two options. Born in such a family, few people can resist. Don't have any grudges about this, and hope that in the future In the future, you can have a greater sense of belonging to the family.”

Mrs. Manshelay looked at Ye Jielin's serious face and knew in her heart that Ye Jielin would not be able to realize this in a short period of time. Everyone can be rebellious when they are young. At her age, she may not be as good as this daughter.

"I know." Ye Jielin replied slowly.

"It's enough to know. It takes time to understand these things." Mrs. Manshelay smiled, with wrinkles already appearing on her face. "Then there are matters about yourself. The meeting of elders of the family is irresistible. Yes, you must know this. Even if you have great emotions in your heart, the decision of the elders' meeting still needs to be abided by. Of course, there is a minimum limit. As your mother, this is what I have learned after living for such a long time. After all, Even though we are gradually leaving the category of humans, our emotions and thoughts have not completely transformed into those of dragons.”

"And dragons are very smart, and they also have intelligence comparable to humans. So when dealing with these matters, you need to remember one important point. Most of the decisions of the Elders Council are for family considerations. You made them lose Whatever, you have to make up for it. You are all still weak now, so it is very simple to make up for many things. If you are good enough, and your father is still able to sit in the position of the patriarch for a few years, maybe he will be in the position at some point Take care of you."

"After you really think about it, maybe you can go ahead and do it. Your father is the patriarch, and he still has some small privileges." Mrs. Manshelay said very straightforwardly, "But later, you have to bear the consequences. Risks. Wartime is not only the turbulence of the empire, but also potential dangers within the major forces. I have experienced a war, and it was a great purge. Your father became the clan leader, and he also found opportunities in the last war. .”

"Be careful, the war is not far away." After saying a long sigh, Mrs. Manshelay also had inexplicable emotions in her heart.

She stood up at this time, walked to the window under Ye Jielin's gaze, and looked out at the bright light. There is no night in the headquarters. The only difference from the daytime is that the sounds at night are smaller.

"I think it's a good idea for you to evacuate your team in advance this time, leaving only one person for a sneak attack. There is no obvious excuse from the Council of Elders, and with your father on top, it will be difficult for them to make any A substantive move." Mrs. Manshelay changed the topic, but Ye Jielin felt uneasy in her heart as she listened.

Mrs. Manshelay's tone changed at the next moment, and she was a little harsh: "You may not know it yourself, but in the end I would like to remind you that there are people among your allies who are like explosives and may explode at any time."

"Okay, what I should have said has been said." Mrs. Manshelay walked to Ye Jielin and looked at Ye Jielin who was about the same height as herself. "It's quite quiet outside tonight. You just happen to have nothing to do. Come with me." Take a walk.”

After saying that, she left the room one step ahead, and Ye Jielin quickly quickened her pace to follow.

At the same time, on the other side, Woolf was standing with his head lowered. His boss was also standing aside, and there were a group of people beside him. Everyone had their heads lowered, waiting quietly for the person in front of the conference hall to speak.

An old man with half-white hair, his face had many wrinkles like Mrs. Manshelley. But there is no aura of aging about him, instead he is full of vitality. This is an elder in the Webley family who has just finished reading the information about what happened in the morning.

His face looked kind, but gave away nothing else.

The information stopped at a few color photos, two limp corpses, and a footprint sunk deep into the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door next to him. A man opened the door, lowered his head and saluted the elder, then walked quickly to the elder and spoke softly.

"Elder Sommers, all the people who were under surveillance in the past have entered the medical department of the station." The man said. Sommers glanced over, and the man slightly avoided the sharp gaze, "It was Mrs. Manshelay who did it. She We went to Ye Jielin's room with the patriarch's secretary-general Gabriel, and sent those people to the hospital along the way. But there is no big problem, they just need to stay in bed for a few more days."

"That's right." Sommers smiled.

"Also, Mrs. Manshelay is currently walking in the family residence, and Ye Jielin is by her side." The man continued, waiting for instructions.

Sommers was silent for a while, his eyes swept across the group of people standing with their heads lowered in front of him, looked at the photos again, and stopped smiling.

"The meeting is over, and it's time for a break now. Let's go back." Sommers touched the ring on his finger that represented the power of the elders, and said slowly, with a smooth voice like a mature man in his prime, "This matter is over. You don’t have to worry about it anymore. From now on, just do whatever you want to do.”

"Yes, Elder Sommers." Clearly relieved, a group of people pretended to be calm and squeezed out of the conference room.

After everyone left, Sommers closed the document and said, "The patriarch hasn't rested yet."

"I am chatting with a group of researchers at the family's super analysis machine." the man answered.

"Okay, let's go there too."

The total cost of treatment was several hundred thousand holy coins. When Cassia got the detailed account amount from Delya, and it was based on the fact that Cassia was an "acquaintance", the amount was discounted. He couldn't help but re-examine Dr. Dole in his mind. When she saw him at the flower shop, Cassia thought Dr. Dole must be an upright businessman.

"It's worth the price. All consumption in the dark world will add a risk fee." Delya said with a smile. Cassia was a little embarrassed. He knew in his heart that the price must be fair, but he just wanted to sigh. .

When leaving the flower shop, Cassia asked about the price of the tranquilizer, which was much lower than he expected. I immediately bought thirty of them and took them back to the villa base.

"You lack this thing?" Delya asked on the way. Cassia shook her head, "Just as a guarantee."

Without telling the truth, Cassia was prepared to use a sedative as a diluent after listening to Dr. Dole's advice during treatment. The original plan was to entrust Dr. Dole to help debug the appropriate diluted medicine, but considering the confidentiality and security of the information, Cassia planned to go back and fiddle with it for a while, and then start the plan again when it finally failed.

At noon, they returned to the villa base.
