Steel steam and flame

The Borghese area is on the edge of the southern forest. Because the southern forest has been defined by the empire as a dangerous and uninhabited area a long time ago, Borghese can be regarded as the far frontier of the empire to a certain extent.

The volcanic area Cassia found was closer to the empire. According to the introduction on the map, many people lived there in the past, and many towns were located there. But it seems that more than 300 years ago, the dormant volcano became active, and finally caused a huge eruption, causing all the surrounding residents to evacuate.

"So now, can it be considered a no-man's land?" Cassia closed the book and glanced at the publication date - it was decades ago and it was a recently reprinted book.

"It seems that we need to collect some information through other means. Books say that decades after the volcanic eruption, the volcanic rocks there were covered with plants and became a new forest. After that, many people went Get some old minerals there." Cassia continued to check the map, "But the gap in information is a bit long, so we have to check the latest information."

Finally, he found the names of several cities around the volcanic zone, and Cassia wrote them down one by one before taking a rest.

Early the next morning, Cassia contacted Sotagang after waking up.

"I can contact you now, which is probably the best news. Something like this happened not long after I arrived in Manoma. It doesn't feel like a good sign." Sotagang sighed very much, "Except for myself just now In the information network established, Ye Jielin and Atuohuan have all lost contact. The power of the big family cannot be underestimated, at least when it comes to blocking personal information, we have no way to break through."

"What's going on over there? I learned some basic information from Delya. Everyone else is safe now, but their freedom is greatly restricted. It should be someone from the Webley family who did it. After all, they don't want to Involve Ye Jielin in this incident." Cassia's words were a bit bitter, "I am safe, but I will leave Manoma for a while soon, and there are still some important things to do."

"The secrecy of the contact prevented me from being discovered by the people in Webley. I am currently dealing with business issues on the black market and expanding a new network of middlemen. There should be no trouble finding me. If you need any help, Just notify me. About half of Ye Jielin's men are under surveillance, but the remaining half are still a considerable number."

"I won't conflict with anyone for the time being."

After hanging up the communication, Cassia went down to the hall, took paper and pen, and wrote down all the strange characters and symbols engraved in his head bit by bit.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he stopped and when he put down his pen, Cassia felt tired instantly. So far, it seems that whenever I have anything to do with these things, it consumes my energy. After shaking his head and drinking a glass of frozen juice to refresh himself, he put away the dozens of papers on the table that were covered with dense text and symbols one by one.

"It's much more than I expected." Cassia estimated the thickness, and finally took out three sheets and put them aside. "Just give these to Shake first. I don't know the specific meaning of them yet. I hope they won't. Something bad will happen to you."

,,,,,,

"Master Hai, I went to see Miss Shake tonight and heard from her that she has translated several text symbols. The progress will be faster in the future, but it is estimated that it will take several years to complete such a huge amount of analysis. That's all." Lyle got into the limo and contacted Hai, "According to the preliminary plan I made at that time, I gave her some information again."

"The translation is out, that's a surprise. I originally thought it would take more time. We can adjust Shaco's identity level a little. We currently need the knowledge in her head."

"I will get it done as soon as possible. She has indeed exceeded our expectations. Originally we just wanted to give it a try, but it had unexpected results. In addition, Master Hai, I have already asked someone to investigate her background, probably Results will be available in about a week.”

"And there is one more thing, Master Hai. I don't know how to deal with it?" Lyle asked, "I need your permission, Master Hai."

"Just tell me. I remember what happened with Miss Shaco. It seems that all the handling power has been given to you."

"That's true." Lyle started the limousine and glanced at the main entrance of the Imperial History School in the rear mirror, "But there may be more things involved. In the Imperial History School where Shaco is located, her classmates are very jealous of her. She doesn't seem to be very friendly. Recently, one of her classmates disappeared mysteriously due to some things, which led to that person's close friends to point the finger at her. They are all nobles such as earls and viscounts, but Miss Shaco is the most ordinary person in the empire. People. In the past few days since I came here, I have received a lot of unwarranted threats. Because of my identity and background, Miss Shaco currently has no way to avoid it."

"According to your considerations, will it threaten Miss Shaco's life safety? Or, will it disrupt the progress of the translation of the strange symbols she is working on?"

"Currently, the photos have only caused interference in life, but I think the progress of translation will definitely be affected. Regarding the danger to life, if the situation is allowed to develop like this, I don't think Ms. Shaco will feel better than death. How many."

"Are they from the Earl and Viscount families...?"

"They should be the children of more important personnel, otherwise they would not be sent to the Imperial History School to study." Lyle replied immediately.

"Everyone is short of time now. You should know how to do it. But you need to investigate in advance whether there is a deeper relationship network behind them. I don't have much time to deal with those things now. By the way, Lyle, Mr. Cassia Is there any latest news on his whereabouts?"

"Captain Il, Captain Theodore." Stian walked into the room with the prepared documents and said hello to the two men in front of him.

Both of them smiled back and motioned for Stian to sit aside: "This is Mr. Adelaide of the Astus family, our ally for this cooperation." El then looked at Stian and said to Adelaide. : "Sitian, the person in charge of this tracking and information intelligence."

"Hello, Miss Stian." Adelaide nodded and continued the unfinished conversation with El and the others.

"I think we must also consider the power of his allies. Many of them have not yet been investigated clearly, but according to my own intelligence, he and Ye Jielin have separate forces. In other words, Special The group of people Ronno and Milton met in Meselia were simply Cassia's personal subordinates. This time he returned to Manoma and joined Ye Jielin's people who were not under surveillance. I think it is certain. thing."

"And we have to seize the opportunity. I think you all know about the first joint mission of the military school, right? It is not clear yet whether the Webley family will cancel their surveillance by then."
