Steel steam and flame

But thinking of this, Cassia remembered things about the Holy Sword and Holy Spear in the empire. That was the information I learned from Grote. Both of them were previously placed in Avalon. On the one hand, they enjoyed the safest protection, and on the other hand, they were also used by top scientific researchers for research.

None of them were created, at least not the empire, nor the original Kingdom of Mano. They were first found through archeology and exploration teams and used as symbols of royal power at that time. It was designated as the Holy Sword and Holy Spear of the Empire and used as the standard to test whether to become the Knight King. It was only after the Empire was established and the surgery began to appear.

"Since I have regarded Perkinz as an advance personnel sent from other continents, will the ancient ruins he explored be related to such things?" Cassia felt that in this matter at the empire level, regardless of whether he No matter how you guess, they will stop at roughly the same place. After all, the operation of a country, as well as the vision and planning of the people at the top of the pyramid, are not areas that he can easily contact yet.

There was too little relevant information, and Cassia could not get the results she wanted no matter how much she thought about it. Consideration turned to collecting the other books Peckins was writing at the time.

"You can ask Ye Jielin for help. Apart from the cases of Shaco and his grandfather, the possibility of this kind of books falling into the hands of ordinary people is still small. I don't know if there will be anything in the dark world, what is in it There are all, and the transaction amount of some ancient cultural relics sometimes even exceeds the ammunition transaction."

But unfortunately, it is not possible to contact Delya immediately to handle these matters. Of course you can communicate on an airship. It's just that the signal has become too easy to capture. Worried that the enemy may be following their airship, Cassia can only wait until they reach their destination.

The sky darkens only a little later than in winter. Cassia went to the cafeteria to eat in advance, bought two large bottles of juice and waited in the house for night to fall.

"Shaco, it's me, Tussos, come here to return the book." Cassia stood outside the door and knocked gently, wondering whether it was natural to say hello like this. After waiting for a few seconds and receiving no response, Cassia continued her previous actions.

There was no one inside. Cassia put her ear against the door and did not hear the sound of anyone inside.

"A banquet?" Cassia thought as she stood in front of the elevator's protective door. "According to Shake's character, if those people forced her to go, they wouldn't refuse. Even if they refused, they might not be able to change the outcome."

The elevator stopped and before the protective door opened, Cassia heard the noise coming from the end of the long corridor. The band’s delicious melodies were all submerged in it. The slightly colored lights have changed the taste of this banquet. In Cassia's eyes, this is more like a place that cannot even compare to a high-end bar.

The number of people was much larger than Cassia imagined. The entire hall was full of people, and it was slightly crowded even though it was spacious enough.

The air is filled with the scent of various alcoholic drinks, but mixed with different flavors of perfume and the smell emanating from many people, the scent has long since changed. But it was impossible for this group of people who were completely immersed in the atmosphere to feel it.

There was a vacant stage in the middle of the hall, and a few people wearing less cloth were dancing there. Cassia walked into the hall, glanced around, and found Shaco, who had closed her eyes tightly and was lying on the table.

There were other people around, and if I remember correctly, they were all her classmates, including Edith and Ronil's group.

"A carnival among classmates?" Cassia wanted to smile, but couldn't. If it weren't for Edith and Ronil's group of people, he felt that this was really the case. But looking at the time, it didn’t take long for this metamorphosis banquet to begin. Among the other classmates, there seemed to be no close friends with Shako. However, there were a few people standing on the outside who had worried looks on their faces, but perhaps due to some reasons, they could only choose to maintain this neutral attitude.

Walking from the edge of the hall, Cassia took big steps and soon reached the central edge of the hall.

"Shaco, let's have another drink. It's rare that we are so happy. Don't let everyone down."

"This time I changed the cup to a smaller one, one cup is enough."

"Saco! Saco!" The voice was smiling, and the faces of everyone around were blushing. Not long after the banquet started, they all drank a lot of wine.

Of course, Shako couldn't hear these words, and the red color crawled from her face to her ears and neck. There seemed to be no resistance to alcohol, and her eyes were tightly closed. Although her body still moved, it was due to discomfort.

"Ronniel, help me up, finish this glass of wine and stop playing." Edith spoke happily. The people next to her took a look and chose to keep her mouth shut.

"Okay, okay, it's rare to be happy." Ronnier was not afraid.

"Just drink in moderation." Outside a group of people, a young man who looked obviously a few years older than them came over and said, "Okay, okay, don't play anymore."

"It's the last drink, teacher." Edith said next to her, "Don't worry about it." Her voice went up and down. The young man glanced at Edith and finally gave in.

"Wait a minute, please remember to help her to the side to rest." The young man said, finding that it was not appropriate where he was standing, and returned to his position. Just as he turned around, the light in front of him suddenly disappeared. He bumped into another person. His body rebounded and he took a step or two back before he stabilized himself.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention..." the young man apologized.

"Are you their teacher?" Cassia waved her hand and asked.

"It's their..." the young man changed his words halfway, "I can only be regarded as an acting teacher. I work as a research assistant under their real teacher." I don't know why he said this. The young man just felt that he was still Don't lie as well.

"Excuse me, are you..." The young man was about to ask, but Cassia had already squeezed into the crowd. She walked to Shake's side in a few steps, gently opened Ronnier, blocked it aside, and took it along the way. He took away the glass of wine in Edith's hand.

"I'll take Shaco back." Cassia shook Shaco without paying attention to the eyes of others, but there was no reaction at all. So he could only help her up, but the posture was more like Cassia holding Shako unilaterally. As a girl, Shaco's weight does not burden Cassia at all.

"Are you...isn't this the person Shako was talking to in the waiting room?" The ups and downs in her voice made Cassia think there was something wrong with her throat. But there was no answer. Cassia walked straight out of the hall. She had never been very good at talking to such people. And he can't do anything about it.

But the person whose clothes were pulled was the Ronil that Shake mentioned.

"What's the matter?" Cassia's eyes made Ronnier tremble. The alcohol took effect at the right moment, and his flushed face showed that a large amount of adrenaline was being secreted in his body.

The voice became a little high, and Ronnier didn't know where he got the strength to yell out: "She is my classmate. You help her away from someone you have only known for less than an hour. Who knows what you want to do?" Ronnier himself thought of other places first, so that his voice also changed.

But it was very effective. Everyone around them looked over. The stalemate lasted for less than ten seconds. The music stopped at this time, and the two gathered everyone's attention.

Ronnier felt as if his blood was burning, and his head was not immediately eroded by the alcohol, but instead became clearer at this moment. There were often larger banquets than this in the family, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. But Cassia felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to become the focus of these people without knowing why. It would not be good for herself.

But this became a sign of fear in Ronnier's eyes, and he continued what he said: "As a member of the Hall family, and as a baron, the honor in my heart will not let a stranger like you take my classmates. take away,,,,"

After processing, it seems to have the effect Ronnier wants. This method is very effective in many places, especially the first sentence, which makes people know his Earl family identity. It has always been his best way to make others bow their heads. method.

The others started to cheer, and their words perfectly matched the smell in the air. Under the slightly colored light and shadow, Cassia saw for the first time richer faces and expressions. These were completely different from the faces of the simple people in his small town, and also different from those of the people he met during the mission. Not a single thing in common.

"It seems that they somewhat understand why Ye Jielin and Hessler can kill ordinary people who have nothing to do with them without any pressure." Cassia sighed, ignored Ronnier, and helped Shaco to continue leaving the hall.

"Hey, stand..."

"Roniere." The young man called from behind. Roniel was stunned for a moment and was about to answer something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

"It's best not to get off the airship with me, otherwise..."

It was only a short distance away from the hall, and all kinds of words filled Cassia's ears. Cassia didn't respond except for a sigh that surprised herself.

Back in Shako's room, Cassia could only use a more violent method to make Shako vomit it out, which might make him feel better. Then he put Shaco on the bed, and Cassia carefully sat on the chair beside her. While watching Shaco wake up, she looked at the other books on the table.

She vomited several more times along the way, but there was nothing else in Shaco's stomach. Only a little yellowish gastric juice came out, and her face turned slightly white from red. It was nearly four hours before Shaco opened her eyes and gasped for air.

"Mr. Tussos?" A few minutes later, Shaco drank some juice to fill his stomach, and then remembered what happened not long ago.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tussos, for causing you trouble. Thank you for sending me back." Shasha lay on the bed, not knowing what to say for a moment, "Edith and her party are all nobles. I'm afraid things will get worse." Good. Ronil is also the son of the current patriarch of the Hall family."

"Hall family?" Cassia then remembered that Ronnier had indeed said this at the banquet. But after thinking about it, he couldn't find any information about the Hall family in his head.

"It's a hereditary earl family. I heard that it has a big industry in Manoma and a lot of power in its hands." Sha Ke looked bad. She had always tried her best to avoid causing trouble to others because of herself. occurring.

"Hereditary Earl." Cassia repeated, with a look of awakening on his face.

"No wonder I didn't find the surname 'Hall' among the families in the Quartet."
