Steel steam and flame

Puno's eyes opened with cross pupils, and he clearly saw the faces of Haikou and Ieta, which were covered by the beam of light.

"Is this really so?" he thought in his mind, turning on the cross-pupil state, but the blood in his body was as cold as the turbid river water. The rapids hit his body, and the ripples of water hit his face covered with fine scars. They were all scraped out by fragments of steel-cased bombs. After jumping into the water, he immediately walked towards the root of the river bank at the bottom of the river. Using the firecracker in his hand as a tool, he dug a hole there and hid in it. It was only when I finally had to breathe that I chose to do so.

He thought that the people who were tracking him would retreat or spread out their search along the river bank. But it seems that the calculation was wrong. These people have been waiting for him where he was from the beginning.

"Mr. Puno, I have to praise your cleverness. You used Adelaide's smog to drag us here for three days. If Lyle and the others hadn't rushed over, Miss Iyetta and I wouldn't have known that we would be with you. How long will you stay here?" Hai said with a smile, "Now that everything has passed, I wasted so much time with you, and I don't know how many interesting things happened in other places. Then, it's time to talk about compensation."

His face was covered with rainwater, and all the light makeup had been washed away, but the exposed face was still white, and even looked gentler and softer under a thin layer of rainwater.

"I hope this rushing river can carry your body to the distance you long for." Hai said, patting Lyle beside him with his hand. Puno's pupils instantly solidified, an angry roar came from his throat, the muscles on his face twisted, and the power of his jaw immediately urged his teeth to bite hard at the barrel of the gun that was thrust into his mouth. The frozen body also wanted to rush out of the river at this time, raising his hands to grab the barrel of the gun.

It just has no effect. The strength of the barrel of the heavy sniper rifle will only allow him to leave a row of shallow tooth marks on it.

As flames poured out of his mouth, the light in Puno's eyes extinguished in an instant, and his body below the neck was directly penetrated by sniper bullets and shattered into pieces. A large area of ​​bright red blood surged out of the turbid river water, and the rainwater jumping on it seemed to be dyed in this color.

The head with a stiff expression finally sank into the water, and a few seconds later, the surging blood was completely swallowed up by the current.

"But Mr. Puno, you will definitely be disappointed." He looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction and continued his words, "With your surgical level, Mr. Puno, even if the body is broken into pieces, they will not weigh as much as these rivers." Something that can be swept away. So, in the end, you have to stay where you are."

Ten minutes later, Hai and Iyeta returned to the edge of the road. In the rain, there was a row of black ceremonial cars parked there. The tapping sound of raindrops falling on it seemed to welcome them back.

"Do you want to go back to the hotel and change clothes? Master Hai."

"Just go directly to the airport. The time on the airship is just right for doing these things." Hai and Ietta sat in the back seat, Lyle started the limousine and nodded and said okay.

"It seems that Adelaide left that night." Iyetta wiped a lot of rain on her long hair with paper. Her wet clothes stuck tightly to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. "Are you sure you want to Go to Ovelia? After losing contact with Puno, they will no longer believe you. Adelaide is already wary of you, or in other words, he does this on behalf of Ovelia himself. The acquiescence is in. The relationship between these two people is not ordinary."

"I know that when I go to Ovelia this time, I am not in the mood to meet her as an ally. Hiding in the dark, just like Adelaide and Mr. Cassia, is what I like to do. matter."

Iyetta turned her head and glanced at the face with a polite smile, and then cast her gaze towards the rain outside the car window.

"Actually, even if Ovelia dies unexpectedly, it won't be of much help to me." He said in a self-deprecating tone, "The people in power in the family will not easily lose face and re-include me in the family's training plan. Solid state The impact of the red mercury incident has always been there, and it was not me who made the mistake, but the main person responsible for the whole thing must be found."

"I once thought about whether to separate the half piece of solid red mercury you gave me from my body and give it to the family again." Iyetta told it calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story the whole time, "Then At that time, I was really confused by the transfer of identity and the direction of the future."

He looked interested: "Well, I'm really glad that I see you in person now, Miss Iyetta, instead of seeing you in a photo or in a culture jar in the laboratory."

Iyetta smiled, as if she was talking to herself: "But in this special period, there is nothing we can do."

"A year from now?" He knew clearly what Iyetta was thinking, but just looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be interested in it.

"There should be several recommended places in the military school. There are still a few suppressor tube operators alive, but their strength has gradually spread. The only person who can pose a threat to me now is probably Ye Jie. Lin and Cassia."

"I think there is no problem in getting the quota to enter the assessment." Hai thought for a while before answering, "It's just that the assessment of the Knight Squire is not easy."

Horror's words paused here: "Miss Iyetta, even if you are given one year, I don't think you will be qualified for the thirty-six places in the final assessment. You know, strength is always only one aspect, Knight As a member of the Astus family, you must be very clear about what the attendant is involved in. Having lost the support of your family, you are now doomed to have no chance."

"Of course I understand that my strength and the power behind me are not comparable to others. And the family is now sure that the person who went to take the Knight Squire assessment is Ovelia. I lost this opportunity forever six months ago. And there is no time. Allow me to be fully prepared. Another aspect to consider is that the knight attendant assessment will be taken seriously by most forces in the empire, not just the positions of the thirty-six knight attendants of the Round Table."

"Do you have a place you want to go? In two years, whether it is a military school or a seminary, after our current generation graduates from school, everyone will probably have their own ideas and final destination. Then What happens during that time will definitely be very interesting. I just don’t know how many people in the invisible cage of the empire will be able to open their eyes and see that moment coming before the war actually comes.”

"Maybe..." Iyeta whispered, and then fell silent. She continued to look out the window, the rain was hitting it diagonally, and her face printed on the gray glass window gradually became fragmented at this moment.

The fuel filter of the car broke on the way back to the company, so I came back too late... Sorry
