Steel steam and flame

"No need to thank you, as a gentleman should do at this time." The man replied, "If there is nothing else, I can take you back to school, Miss Shake."

Soon after, watching Shake disappear from the school, the man started the limousine and drove onto the road ahead. He pressed an inconspicuous button on the side of the steering wheel, and a "sizzling" electronic noise came to mind inside the limo. After about ten seconds, the communication was connected, and a gentle man's voice came.

"Lyle, didn't you get the thing?" Hai asked on the other side. Without other circumstances, Hai knew that Lyle would not specifically contact him to inform him about such a matter.

"I got it, but there was an accident on the way." Lyle replied, "Master Hai, do you remember the girl we casually rescued at the edge of Manoma Center a few months ago?"

There was a sudden silence in the limo. Hei thought for a few seconds before replying: "The one with the pink glasses?"

"Yes, Master. I happened to meet her today. Her name is Shaco. She was buying an evening dress for a party, so I recommended to her the store you often go to, Master." Lyle said calmly. Heilao was interested, and he knew Lyle's character very well. As a noble, he taught Lyle to behave in a manner consistent with his status in normal times, but with such casual help, Lyle had a strong purpose in doing things. I won't waste time yet.

"She seems to be a student at the Imperial History School, and we had a conversation on the way. In paleontology and imperial history, she seems to have a lot more knowledge and insights than she should have at the current grade level. Perhaps she can help you, young master, to interpret those things that were started more than half a year ago. A collection of strange written symbols.”

"And she seems to need a fund to support her studies and life. I gave her the general contact information, but I don't know if it is appropriate." Lyle asked.

"The universal contact information will not have any impact on us. If she has the ability to interpret those strange characters and symbols, she can consider the interpretation process of those things. Lyle, you can be responsible." Hai replied, "I think it should be more than this accident. ?You will inform me immediately that this kind of thing has not yet acquired the importance it deserves.”

"It's the same as what you said, Master." Lyle replied immediately. "I met Mr. Cassia on the street. He left the center of Manoma in a limousine, but the direction was not towards the military school. I wrote down that The number plate of a limo. By asking the driver of that limo, I think I should be able to get something from it. I just looked at it a few more times and he seemed to notice something."

"No need." Hai's words made Lair a little confused. "You won't get anything. With Mr. Cassia's alertness, since he feels that there is something behind him, he will definitely be happy to waste some time wandering around Manoma. After one lap, transfer to another vehicle. Just come back first. I have other things that you need to deal with personally regarding the impact of Ovelia's death."

After changing to several limousines and arriving at the villa base, the sky was completely dark. Cassia stood in front of the wooden fence and looked at the rain clouds behind her illuminated by the lights in the heart of Manoma, and then walked into the house.

The air smelled like no one had been here for several days. He turned on the light and looked around the hall. Nothing has changed from the same person he was before he left for school duty.

The clock on the wall pointed to five minutes past seven. It was expected that it would take some time for Delya and Waters to get here. Cassia went straight to the refrigerator in the basement.

The concentrated dragon blood is still in a liquid metal-like state at minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, the air becomes difficult to swallow, and there is still no special taste inside. In the biology building, Cassia woke up and found that all her senses of touch had improved a lot. My sense of smell has become more sensitive, but I still can't distinguish the smell of blood at this moment.

"Or they don't have the smell option at all." Cassia didn't think more about it. He took off his clothes, revealing the increasingly solid muscles of his upper body. The fine wounds on it disappeared due to the operator's faster body renewal, and the only visible scar was the dark yellow skin on the back where the arc was concentrated.

During the two weeks in the biology building, Cassia reached an agreement with the group of professors, and therefore learned more about his own status and data. Blood concentration was one of them.

"Half of it has begun to transform into a dragon..." Cassia said to himself. He took a syringe, sucked up half of the dragon's blood, and injected it into his left hand.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the needle tip was directly squeezed and broken by the sudden appearance of black scales. The entire left arm, together with part of the skin on the left chest, was completely covered with fine scales in less than a second. cover. Cassia stared at the scales reflecting the cold light. They looked different from before.

More refined, this is Cassia's judgment. In my memory, when the body was covered with these scales, it still looked extremely rough, just like the blank that had just come out of the mold in the factory. But after returning from the volcano base, as time goes by, they seem to be gradually...

"Growth?" Cassia couldn't describe that feeling, and in the end she could only use this word to describe it.

Clenching his left hand tightly, the exponentially increased strength made the air make a gentle sound. The thick cuticle on the palm became thinner, and the fingers became more and more like a human being.

"If the data detected by the professors is correct, when the concentrated dragon blood was actively injected for the first time, the dragon transformation of my blood was less than 15% at that time. The body will still be damaged, and the muscles will be damaged because of' The toxins' dissolved. But now, would there have been a different outcome?"

After about ten minutes, the scales began to fade away. When the original skin was exposed again, Cassia waved her left hand a few times. Except for some soreness and obvious physical exhaustion, no other symptoms appeared.

Cassia let out a breath, feeling a little happy after her idea was verified. I wanted to try again whether I could directly swallow the blood to improve my strength. Just as Sukarius said in the dream, dragons grow rapidly by devouring their own kind. But in the end the steel can was closed.

Sukarius also told him clearly at the beginning - the evolution and survival of dragons are very cruel. They can gain strength and growth by devouring their own kind, and they have methods to increase their own strength by devouring the perfectly evolved materials of other kind. When this method is used on humans, it turns into repairing the damaged body. Simply speaking, it means restoring itself. The specific reason may be that the evolutionary levels between the two are too different.

Although she really wanted to try, for more than a year, Cassia has known that Sukarius' original words were not completely credible, at least in terms of the devouring method. It seemed that the effect started from unknown how long, and it was no longer limited to devouring those things. The perfect substance to treat yourself. In the Blinuo area, he invaded the body of the resurrected dragon and relied on the devouring method to briefly gain control of the dragon's body.

"Could it be that with the assimilation and fusion of my own surgery, my life level gradually improved, and Sukarius' devouring method gradually began to play its full role?" Cassia returned to the hall and thought, "Just like the status level of the military school , unlocked level by level."

There was no answer to the question. Only then did Cassia think that a long time later, there would be a dragon named Sukarius waiting for him to save. It was just less than a year since he entered the real part of the empire. He couldn't imagine how many things were hidden under such a behemoth as the empire.
