Steel steam and flame

"The empire was still a man from the Kingdom of Mano, 'a zoologist with great brains and courage' - that's how he was introduced in the book. But there is only such a short sentence that can make people imagine what kind of person he is. "I'm dead." Shaco closed the book with some regret, "I think he must have other similar works, "Strange Insights" - this book is obviously just one in a series. My grandfather is also relying on himself I have collected these things through my relationship, but after many years, there is still no results.”

"Probably in the collection rooms of some nobles, there are other books in the series."

"That's what my grandfather said at the time. Now that I think about it, this is the only possibility." Shako put the book back. "Mr. Tussos, I also want to thank you. Those continuous strange words are very helpful to me. Last night I once again clarified the usage and meaning of a few characters, and I think this research will progress faster when we receive other information."

"There is no need to worry. Although I have not been exposed to research in this area, I still know the fact that it will take a lot of time." Cassia said, walked to the table, folded the map and put it away, "The place names are Thank you. If I have time in the afternoon, I will come over to see you. By the way, Shaco, can I borrow a book? The one just now is really attractive. I want to read other stories. "

"Of course." Shake was a little excited for some reason, and the smile on his face showed a sense of accomplishment.

Walking to the door, Cassia remembered something, turned around and said to Shaco: "At night, someone seems to have held a celebration banquet in the public hall on the tenth floor. You can go and have a look during the break."

But he didn't expect that Sha Ke's face turned a little pale all of a sudden: "Actually, I know...it was a banquet held with money by Edith, Ronil and others, saying it was to celebrate the end of these field trips."

Cassia was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, she finally found the right words: "It's okay not to go. If I have time in the evening, I can come over and talk to you. I also have some things I want to ask you. "

"Thank you Mr. Tussos."

Back in his room, Cassia unfolded the map and made detailed calculations. The location mentioned by Grote was indeed very far away from the southern forest.

"You have to find time to go there later." After Cassia wrote down the specific location, he still tore him into pieces according to his habit. Although the specific value of the second-generation holy sword is still unclear, even if it is a replica of the holy sword, the auxiliary increase in strength should be very huge.

Opening the book, Cassia looked at the name "Peckinz Chilis" and searched for families with "Chilis" or similar surnames. Nothing gained and no impression at all.

In desperation, she opened the book gently, and Cassia carefully read the realistic story inside from the first page.

A four-finger-thick book, even at Cassia’s speed, it took him until the afternoon to finish reading it.

With a gentle breath, Cassia drank a few sips of juice, stood up and walked around the room a few times, stretching her long-sitting body.

"Except for stories like 'The Bronze Island Floating among the Clouds,' the rest of the strange animals can be regarded as second-class creatures." Cassia said to himself, recalling the contents of the book, "There are even Observed dragons - ferocious lizards with wings. The school also has such information, but they are too theoretical. By comparing it with several second-category creatures introduced in the school, we can basically confirm what is in this book. It’s all true.”

"Then who is the author, Pekinz Kiris?" Cassia murmured. He had indeed learned a lot from reading the entire book, but because he had already known about the existence of dragons and second-category creatures in the military school, The impact and curiosity of the content on him were much lower than those on Shake. Although some contents in the book attracted him, what interested him even more was the author Pekinz himself who wrote these stories.

"It can be seen that this is just a collection of stories. There are many things collected and organized by Pekinz. But the simple drawings are unmistakable. The simple illustrations in the whole book are in the same style. If they were all Pekinz Jinz drew it, so it means that when he wrote these stories, he did go to some places to see those second-type creatures and the dragons mentioned above with his own eyes."

"It can't be an ordinary human being. Could it be a surgeon from other countries or continents? It took many years after the Kingdom of Mano changed its name to the Saint Dorag Empire to perfect the first-generation surgery and popularize it among a few officers. If Pei Pei Jinziqilishi is from the Kingdom of Mano. Even if his descendants decline, at that time, the current four forces should have his name." Perhaps with the answer in his heart, Cassia could only regard Pekinz as... Explorers sent from other continents or countries in advance will be taken care of.

The superpowers on the Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister Continent have long been jealous of the resources on the Hou Prime Minister Continent. This is why the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance were established on the Hou Prime Minister Continent. But in the gap where they collided and rubbed against each other, no one expected that the empire would suddenly rise and completely defeat their plans.

"The development of surgery in the Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister mainland was much earlier than that of the Empire. So it seems that when the Empire was first established and expanded, did they secretly send people to get involved and deal with it as a hidden thread that has been buried for a long time." Cassia suddenly felt that his head was a little insufficient, but even if there was such a thing, it had little to do with him now.

And there was another question he hadn't figured out yet, which was the time period in which all the short stories in this book took place. At first, she didn't pay much attention to the time. After watching it for a long time, Cassia suddenly remembered it.

Most of them were concentrated around the year 1870. Nine years later, it was the time when the Kingdom of Mano obtained the core of the analytical machine and two larval dragons.

At first I thought this was just an unconscious coincidence, but Cassia attributed the reason to the fact that Perkinz had only come to Houxiang Continent at that time, and all the stories collected and those he had seen with his own eyes were relatively concentrated in one time period. middle. But after thinking about it repeatedly, Cassia still felt that there was something wrong or missing.

"It's collection." When he found something wrong, Cassia said in his mind, "Based on the narrative style of the story, we can still distinguish which ones were written by Perkinz himself and which ones were narrated by others, and then go and find the corresponding categories in person. Written by the second type of creature. The timeline of the collected stories is obviously a little earlier than when Perkinz came to the Later Phase Continent. But their time is also relatively concentrated around 1865 in the Yuan Dynasty. Judging from this book, they are not Nothing has gone beyond this approximate time period."

Cassia looked at the corroded page: "According to the records of the military school, no red stars were observed during that period. It was considered a peaceful period, and the influence of the red stars can be eliminated. But based on the current information, it is speculated that It seems that there was an explosion period of second-class creatures. There are usually no observed records. At that time, many second-class species appeared together in the eyes of humans."

"Did something happen?" Cassia sat back on the chair, picked up the book and flipped through it casually. "We need other books in this series. After gathering them together, maybe we can get the answer we want from them."

"And I heard from Shako that Pekinzi has also written some books on the investigation of ancient ruins. If possible, you can also find out and have a look. Maybe there will be some connection between the two. And Pekinzi came The purpose of going to Houxiang Continent is also clearer."

"But what are the ancient ruins? The tombs of the previous kings of the Kingdom of Mano, or are the ancient ruins in their eyes different from what I know, and the time will extend further forward?" Cassia is really sure about these. Little did he know that the only images of ancient ruins in his mind were those tombs.
