Steel steam and flame

When the dormitory door was kicked "bang bang" again, it was already afternoon. Cassia was in the room looking at the surgical development materials she had just borrowed from the school library. Following the professors' suggestions, he planned to start a surgical development project that could be completed in a short time to improve his abilities as soon as possible.

Manoma has entered the summer, and the assessment of knights and attendants in the empire is not far away. The meeting will be held in early spring of the next year, about a week or two after the start of the third academic year of the military school. There was never enough time left for him. Compared with squamation, which has great side effects, Cassia believed that some more stable surgical development projects would be more suitable for him.

After all, the professors have also said that because the body has experienced a scaly state and the current blood concentration changes, when he develops his own surgery in depth, he will encounter much fewer obstacles and the time will be faster.

Opening the door, Ye Jielin was leaning on the fence in front of the door, waiting for Cassia. It's rare to tie your hair into a bunch and let it hang down the back of your head. Wearing a mid-length skirt that was not very suitable for the weather, maybe it was because she had just returned to the military school and had not had time to change into simple daily clothes.

"It's almost time. We arrived at the center of Manoma. It's the agreed meeting time with Sotagang." Ye Jielin turned around, glanced at Cassia and said, then stepped on her hard-soled shoes and clicked. Get ahead of the curve.

Cassia could only follow Ye Jielin honestly. After talking to Hessler, Cassia found that she really wasn't good at guessing Ye Jielin's mood, or that she was simply affected by those words at this time.

So I kept thinking about this issue in the limo. When the limo stopped, Cassia realized that the outside was surrounded by lights and there were many vehicles. The rainy day and the unusually cold weather made the pedestrians on the street tighten their bodies, and they could not hold the open umbrellas steadily, so they all leaned on their shoulders. .

The meeting place was a hotel that looked very luxurious and luxurious. Ye Jielin stopped the limo, took a fur coat from the back seat and put it on herself.

"It looks more ordinary this way." Ye Jielin explained when throwing another piece of clothing that had been prepared to Cassia.

After watching Ye Jielin open the car door, get out of the car, and then open her umbrella and walk towards the hotel door, Cassia hurriedly put on the long gray plush windbreaker on herself. The unexpected fit was all he felt.

After catching up with Ye Jielin in a few steps, the warm air in the hotel hit Cassia's face with its fragrant breath. The steps suddenly became a little hesitant. Looking at the bright lights in front of her, Cassia remembered that she had never longed to go into a place like this. It's just that after the previous thoughts became reality, my mood has become completely different.

Somewhat uncomfortable with such an environment, Ye Jielin seemed very calm a few steps ago. Like Atuohuan who was waiting for them in the hall, the things around them were extremely ordinary things to them.

Taking the elevator to the fifth floor of the hotel, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter. Under the leadership of the waitress, the three of them came to a spacious separate room, where Selmer, Sotagang, and Berta were already waiting there.

"The time is just right, Miss Ye Jielin." Sotagang stood up and said, "Mr. Cassia, judging from your appearance, there should be nothing wrong with your health, right?"

"This time, it seems that things are going smoothly on your side." Ye Jielin did not respond to Sotagang's words, but asked directly, "Several super vapor compression devices have all been returned to the hands and have been shipped out. Now. At this time, we are probably approaching the frontier of the empire?"

"It's not that fast. It's easy to reach the empire's border. The difficult thing is how to avoid the inspections of the border guards." Sotagang was in a good mood and was happy to talk about such things. "You may not know the appetites of the people there. How huge it is. After all, no matter who wants to serve in that kind of place, it will not be easy.”

"In the communication, Miss Ye Jielin, you said you would bring me good news. I am very interested. I hope this news can make up for my unexpected loss as soon as possible." Sotagang said, "I haven't been to Manoma for a long time. , I took this opportunity last night to meet some old customers and a few friends from my student days. Some of them were doing well, and some were struggling on the verge of collapse. I learned something from them, 'Pre-war filing 'For people like us who live in the dark world, it is indeed news that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Regarding routes and customers, there should be no problems on my side. Next, let's see what happens in your own factory, Miss Ye Jielin. Efficiency and productivity."

,,,,,,

"Old friend, I believe that the information is in your hands, right?" Li Suman was lying on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling and talking to the portable communicator, but there was no echo from there. , without even breathing obviously, "There is no reaction at all on such a thing. This is not like your style of doing things."

After a long time, there was still no sound from the other side of the communicator, but Li Suman never doubted that Magri was there. She could imagine a room in her mind, with the communicator placed on the table and a man sitting quietly, looking at the rain that had lasted for a week outside the window.

With a smile in her voice, Li Suman turned over, sat up, leaned on the bed, and continued after drinking half a glass of wine: "Several meetings just ended two days ago, and I returned to my station not long ago. , I contacted you. I originally thought you would take the initiative to find me, but now, the situation seems to be reversed. It is indeed surprising. I haven’t paid special attention to these things for a while, but every time a little trace is revealed Coming out can make people full of strong desire to explore. I remember that when I was sent back to the empire from the Endless Sea more than half a year ago, my mood was not the same as it is now. I seemed to be a completely different person, compared to the Endless Sea Freeze The life there was boring, but the empire is indeed a pleasant place."

It became a one-person show. Li Suman didn't care about it at all. She also looked outside the window.

"The prediction of the sixth red star will have the final result soon, but based on your reactions from Macquarie, you seem to already know the answer. By the way, some unexpected people have appeared in these meetings. .As the former leader of the Rose and the Knights of the Rose, I think you are familiar with them. Several people who used to follow you have grown up now. I wonder if you should be happy? Relieved? Or do you regret it? I think they all do. You should be very clear about what they showed up at the meeting without me reminding them. "

“I don’t know how you will test their learning achievements over the years when you, as a teacher, meet them again.”

"I've revealed so much information to you, now it's time for you to repay me, right? We are half cooperative allies, and staying silent like this won't change anything. Let's talk..." Li Suman's voice Becoming soft and full of an irritating teasing tone, "Is all that stuff in the meeting true?"
