Steel steam and flame

The man wearing a cotton hat watched the train leave. When only the platform lights were left around him, he turned around and left the platform, passing through the empty waiting hall of the station. On the other side is a relatively wide road. After walking out of the station, the man waited there and continued to read the unfinished newspaper under the street lamp on the side.

A few minutes later, a limo slowly stopped beside him. The door opened automatically. The man got into the car skillfully and then took off his thick cotton hat, revealing a head of slightly messy light blond hair.

"It's going well on my side, how's it going on your side? Miss Ovelia," the man asked as the limousine started and drove towards the city's hot springs.

"Lost." There was anger in his tone. Ovelia, who was sitting aside, was looking at the lights outside the window. "A target as big as a heavy truck could be lost. I can't believe it. I didn't know they were in an extreme area. How did the periphery come to life?”

"Perhaps the advantage is only in personal strength? It is not as good as a well-integrated team. When you get something, it is generally understandable that you will fall behind in some aspects. In the extreme area, everyone can just take care of themselves. At this stage, But no one has the confidence to protect others. Of course, your brother Adelaide is barely a special case. It just needs to be strengthened." The man replied with a smile, a very cheerful voice, as if he was doing this The thing was very popular with him.

"What about the situation in Adelaide?" the man continued to ask, "It's about the same as us now, and there's probably no progress? Among the candidate knights at the same time as me, there are people from the Webley family. Although the relationship is ordinary, from his mouth, I also know some information about Ye Jielin, which is a little more detailed than yours. Several allies seem to be not weak, and there are also people who hide their strength and do not show it, such as Atuohuan of the Adam family. In my impression, a It’s very abnormal for the surgeon to have that kind of body shape.”

"There is indeed no progress." Ovelia admitted straightforwardly, "It's just the fat man, so he shouldn't be in trouble."

"You are so sure that it is Ye Jielin who came here."

"Can I use my female intuition to answer this question? Mr. Frito."

"Of course, sometimes I still believe in this intuition. After all, the two leaders of the knights I belong to are extremely charming women." Frito still smiled, "The next question is about this batch of knights. It’s about the cargo. Or intuition? It’s not very reasonable to use the same reason twice.”

Ovelia turned his head and looked at Frito: "Of course not. I can use the special armor provided by the family at this stage, not only because the family has a mutually adaptable training mechanism. My own experience in machinery and steam power Learning is also a very important reason. The mission book that I got did not show the purpose of Sotagang coming here, but everything he did was not unrelated, and there were more or less connections in the middle. This It is inevitable, and it seems to me to be a matter of course.”

"Now that we know his name is Sotagang, it will be much easier to investigate his purpose. To understand a person, you must not only look at the present, but the performance of the past few years will be a very good reference. Do The man who has been an intermediary for more than ten years has all been related to steam-powered machinery in his transactions in the dark world, coupled with the nature of this city. After three days of investigation, except for the factory, the only ones that can be related to it are factories. Among the gears shipped out in batches, only the super vapor compression device repaired by a few mechanics has such weight. I don’t need to say more about it later, right?"

Frito nodded as if understanding, but with a perfunctory expression on his face.

"Then just take it as my intuition." Ovelia also smiled politely, and then continued to tilt her head and look out the window.

Frito shook his head: "How long will it take tomorrow to start the operation? I can prepare well tonight. It is related to the assessment task of the official knight of my knights. I am full of confidence and waiting to go back and accept the instructions from the two charismatic captains. I made him a knight."

The smile on his face did not blend into the serious words, and there was no connection at all between Frito's seemingly optimistic character and his own cautious actions. In the Knights of Roses and Roses, for newcomers, the pre-entry test and screening exam, as well as the current official knight mission, have always been the two most difficult things. I have learned some information from the official members of the previous phases, and I also have a general understanding of the probability of passing the mission and the proportion of deaths in the mission.

After a few days, everything seemed to be going very smoothly. The purpose of the mission is extremely clear, just protect Ovelia and ensure her safety during this period without interfering with what she is doing. Of course, there is one more thing to add: you cannot die during the mission.

The information on the enemy in his hands was also very detailed, and Frito could not see any danger hidden in it. I haven't stopped thinking about it in the past few days, why would the Knights arrange such a task for themselves as a formal knight assessment task?

"Have you happened to encounter such a good thing?" Frito didn't want to believe in his luck, and he didn't want to rely on his own luck to complete the assessment task. It's just that the progress is relatively smooth. If it continues to expand, the final results will point to his guess.

Shaking his head, Frito shook off these thoughts. Thinking about this now, he felt that he had already subconsciously agreed with this conjecture, otherwise he would not have taken the time to actively doubt it. It's not a good sign, Frito warned himself, just stick to your usual self.

"Probably tomorrow afternoon." Ovelia brought Frito's thoughts back to the limo, "Sotagon will definitely test the performance of the goods before shipping them to the buyer. No. A simple and easy job, there will be a buffer of a few days. After the sensor signal generator installed on the machine receives the steam injection pressure, it will send out a radio signal as soon as possible. Once the location is determined, I will naturally notify you."

"The people who went directly to clean up Sotagang? The body is the safest at all times."

"No, we still don't know where Ye Jielin is or what she is planning. The conflict between us and Suota Gang may be what she wants to see, and it may not be the opportunity she is waiting for. Suota Gang Gang is not our target, and there is no reason to list him as an enemy. But he is Ye Jielin's target. There are usually two ways to catch the hunter. One is to go directly to the hunter, and the other is to guard her Next to the prey.”

"Just be careful. You know why I took the initiative to help you."

"Of course, I take my own safety much more seriously than you do."
