Steel steam and flame

"I don't want any of us to be absent during the next break." Ernes' words were firm and undeniable, and Christopher immediately closed his mouth. Now that what I want to say has been conveyed, it’s finally time to look at the opinions of other people in the team.

Ernes continued his own words: "One thing needs to be clear. Although we have obtained three communicators so far, one of them was given by Cassia. We have actually only hunted two ferocious creatures, and they are the most powerful among them. The weaker ones. There are not many targets left now. Even if they are more than half, there are more teams behind them. They want to find the ferocious creatures that are alone. Except for those powerful beings that no one wants to hunt in a short time. Besides, I think the only one left is the dragon."

"The hunting plan in the future will be even more dangerous. Youyi and Prisla are guarding in the dark. I can't rest assured no matter what. You have seen the impact, and the cost is that we lose two teammates again."

No one replied. Ernes didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only take out the fuel from his backpack, open it little by little and throw it into the fire until the flames shot up to more than one meter high, and the red flames shone on his face. It ends when you feel the heat.

"What about those people who have signal generators in their hands?" Gladstone looked at Ernes, "Compared to the ferocious creatures, our experience and methods are more suitable for dealing with these people. The risk will be smaller, The only thing you need to pay attention to is time and gathering information.”

Before Ernes could speak, Novia shook his head first: "There is no more energy, and the number limit makes us very unfriendly to collecting information. If we cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, it will only slow down the pace. Just like what Ones said, our next target will no longer be as easy to deal with as the first two ferocious creatures. It itself is a problem, and the team behind it is also a problem."

The topic seemed to be going nowhere. The six of them all understood the current situation. It was a feeling of powerlessness in the face of numbers when the strength was not suppressive. The answer would not come soon, and Ernes stopped talking. He also needed to carefully consider which of the two options would be the optimal solution.

After a while, Zakad, who had been silent, said: "Thinking about it carefully, the danger brought by examiners is indeed greater than the ferocious creatures. Perhaps we can collect specific information about the next ferocious creatures. Make a plan to deal with Yi and Priscilla. That is to say, the focus is on the two of them, but the hunting is carried out at the same time, just no longer aggressive, slowing down a little. Of course, you can drag them both in most."

"It's probably impossible. Yi and Prisla's target is the signal generator in our hands. Since the last time, they seemed..."

The six people's scattered senses discovered something at the same time, and all the bodies sitting cross-legged stood up in an instant. After only half a breath, only the pile of flames remained in place. Several people were stationed in the corners of the ice cave, guarding against the weak points that had long been discovered around them.

The distinct sound of footsteps could be heard, and the "click-click" sound of stepping on the ice made it clear that the visitor had no intention of hiding himself. A man wearing a mask soon appeared on the ice reflecting the firelight. The man looked around a few times and didn't feel the slightest doubt. When they were about to take off their masks, the six people moved almost simultaneously. The next moment they came to the man's side and locked all his vitals with various weapons.

Perhaps there was no hostility on the part of the visitors, or perhaps they sensed something else, which was potential danger, and did not actually take action.

"Miss Novia, Mr. Ones." Cassia opened her mask, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, with a sense of ease, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

"Cassia..." Ernes spoke first, with an inexplicable meaning in his words.

There was one more person sitting around the fire, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. It seemed that Cassia's own strange and reassuring aura caused the tight bodies of Novia and others to feel a little relieved at this time.

"Would you like to bring something back for you?" After listening to Cassia's words, Gladstone spoke and squinted his eyes.

"Yes, it's a request from me. Because of some things, I don't have the time to do it for the time being." As he said that, Cassia took out three solid red mercury sticks in his pocket. "You probably have these things on your hands, too. .”

Feeling six gazes coming together, Cassia placed it on the ice: "I considered many aspects, and finally thought of you."

"We do have these things. Two of them are fixed in the body of a ferocious creature. It is a gift from the Avalon Agency to those who succeed in hunting." Gladstone deliberately emphasized the last half of the sentence, hinting at something. At the same time, he took out his own piece of solid red mercury and shook it.

Before Cassia could answer, Novia interjected: "That woman from the Webley family?" On the airship, she and Ones were in the cafeteria that day, and they saw everything that happened there. Seeing Cassia looking over with doubt, Novia nodded: "I'm on the same airship as you, and we happened to be in the cafeteria that day."

Cassia had a knowing look on her face: "Just give it to her. Ye Jielin Webley, her name, as for the reward, I think you can ask her for it, but she will not refuse. At least the solid red mercury Everyone knows the value, so there is a reason for finding you because of your strength, and,,, well,,, it can be regarded as a kind of trust established in a short period of time. If you agree, at least people will not think that you will violate The agreed upon options come.”

"Then thank you Cassia for your trust in us." Ones's face showed a rare smile, "We will not refuse. This is just a simple afternoon walk after the assessment."

"Then I also want to thank you on behalf of Ye Jielin." Cassia spoke very slowly, thinking about something, "Although Ye Jielin does not have the same strength as you now, she should not fall behind you in terms of her own power. Too many, I think the word "same" can be used to describe..."

"Your relationship must be extraordinary." Novia showed an expression that only Cassia didn't understand. The other five people nodded at the same time, agreeing with this sentence, "We understand the veiled compliment."

Cassia didn't reply for a while, and his thoughts were interrupted by Novia.

"Anyway, you and her are together, right?" Novia asked.

"It can be explained this way. In terms of actions and plans, I will participate in many things that can be done." Cassia thought for a while and simply answered, "In summary," he took out one of the signal generators, "assessment There seems to be no restriction in the rules that after getting the signal generator, you can only use it to transmit your identity number into the airship. So, after the assessment, when everyone has obtained the quota of knight attendant, you Do you still have ideas and plans to maintain the current alliance?"

"Forming an alliance, mutual help will definitely bring more benefits and benefits. If so, would you mind adding two more people?"
