Steel steam and flame

When she arrived at the station, Ye Jielin saw someone who surprised her, it was Gabriel. According to Ye Jielin's thinking, Gabri, who was demoted to an ordinary secretary, because of her status as the former secretary-general, the family would not rashly let her leave the full range in many cases. Because she knows a lot of things, the secret intelligence information about the Webley family in her head can allow her to gain great benefits from the outside world in a very short period of time.

Moreover, the department in charge of the assessment of knight attendants is not the organization where Gabriel is located. They are two completely different functions. Gabriel has no reason to come here.

Seeing Gabri in the crowd, Ye Jielin could clearly feel that she was indeed one of the main persons in charge of the assessment.

"Although you didn't show it, I think you will be surprised in your heart. Why am I here? Is it like this?" The first sentence they met made Ye Jielin not want to say a word. Sure enough, Gabriel and Nothing has changed from the way it was before.

Gabri guessed what Ye Jielin was thinking very accurately. He turned around and asked everyone to get ready to board the airship. Then he came to Ye Jielin: "It's all good news. What aspects do you want to hear first?" Yes, I have enough time to answer it for you."

"Of course, I want to say thank you before that. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the family and wouldn't have the chance to come here. Although I feel like you owe me more. ." Gabrieli led the way, "Would you like to eat first? We, Webley, are the only ones stationed here. The other families left very early."

"Just to wait for me? That's really an honor." Ye Jielin said flatly, "My family didn't list me as a deceased person. I think that's enough to thank them."

"Don't say that, it's indeed their honor, and..." Gabri smiled, but the smile disappeared the next moment. She squinted her eyes, making her pretty face look full of doubts, and then it turned into an expression of instant understanding, "You don't know?"

Ye Jielin didn't answer, and stopped in the passage to the canteen with Gabriel. Some discussion sounds can already be heard in the cafeteria hall ahead.

"So that's it. There is indeed no restriction on this situation in the rules of the knight's squire assessment." Gabriel looked at Ye Jielin and said, nodding with understanding, "You really gave the family a huge surprise. You know, when the assessment was over and the family received the news that Ali Tor had not obtained the quota, they were very disappointed. After all, a lot of resources had been invested in him, as well as the team that assisted him. But still It's a bit lacking, compared with those who actually obtained the quota. The turning point occurred three days after the assessment, when the Imperial Council announced the list of thirty-six people who had obtained the quota."

"Now it is clear why I want to thank you. For a long time from now on, I will be your full-time secretary to help you deal with some things. I thought you knew it very well, but I didn't expect it to be like this. But the process has already It doesn’t matter anymore. All the senior members of the family want are results. In their eyes, the quota is much more important than how you get it. This is the first good news. Not long ago, this was just a matter of course."

"Cassia..." Ye Jielin figured out the reason instantly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shortly after the thirty-six ferocious creatures were released, he had been staying in the edge area. Obtaining the quota will definitely not be obtained by hunting ferocious creatures. The only explanation is Cassia. Since he can get a quota, it is impossible for Cassia not to be among the thirty-six quotas.

"But in this case, maybe I have to take back what I just said about 'it's all good news.'" Gabriel thought for a while before saying, she thought it was necessary to tell Ye Jielin some important information, "Cassia is not here Within the quota, as for where he is now, there will be a result soon when he returns to the empire."

Looking at Ye Jielin's doubtful eyes, Gabriel shook his head and continued walking forward: "Don't look at me like this, I don't know why. But after you return to the empire, you can find him in person and ask. He himself is sure It’s much clearer than I guessed. At that time, the detailed report on the assessment also came out. With your status after being promoted, through the report, it will be clear why he is not among the quotas. "

"By the way, compared to this good news, what I actually want to tell you is that because you have obtained the qualification of a knight's attendant, the ban on the dozen or so airships restricted by your family has been lifted. They have become you again. personal belongings.”

Within just ten seconds after entering the cafeteria, the sound of discussion gradually disappeared, and almost everyone's eyes focused on Ye Jielin. Without paying attention, Ye Jielin glanced at it, followed Gabriel to finish the food, and found a seat to sit down.

"Back left, the man with a broken left arm." Gabri was eating and drawing on the table between the two of them with his hands. "Alitor, I heard that he was only one step away from the other assessors. I grabbed it and cut off one of his hands. But this does not prevent the family from knowing that he has the ability to hunt ferocious creatures, but it is still just a little bit behind."

Ye Jielin nodded politely, and Gabri could see her thoughts: "This is not like you, but there is no point in rushing. No matter how you compress time, communication can only be done after leaving the range of the tundra. Connect smoothly with the interior of the empire.”

,,,,,,

"Run away! He ate so much and could run so fast. What a weirdo." The man in oil-stained clothes pushed open the wooden door and looked at the piles of food on the table in a corner of the restaurant amid the sound of "clang". There was a vicious feeling on the plate, "He eats meat without spitting out the bones. Was he born from a dog?"

"You have been watching over there the whole time. You must have fallen asleep again. There were not many guests today, so this meal has cost us all." Another woman about the same age as the man said reproachfully. Starting to clear away the pile of empty and piled plates. Just as the man said, there were indeed no bones left.

"How do I know!" The man looked furious, "The moment I lowered my head, when I raised my head, he was gone. It doesn't matter if the man didn't spit out the bones, did he swallow the bones alive? It's like a ghost, a little bit. There’s no sound!”

"Don't let me meet him next time!" The man turned around and walked to the counter. He glanced at the middle-aged boss who was leaning there and smoking leisurely. He bent over and took out the double-barreled shotgun that had been placed there, and then took another box. Bullet, "If I see him again, I promise to throw his body into the underground sewer!"

"How could someone else come back if they are not as stupid as you?" The woman sighed, shook her head and stopped talking.

"I'm going to find Abbott. He's in charge of this place. We pay money every month. He can't just do nothing!"

"Forget it, you will only pay more if you go." But it was the middle-aged boss who said, "This situation is pretty good. Half of this area borders other countries. When you didn't come to the store, There are often some mercenaries who not only refuse to pay me for food, but also ask for money because the food is not in taste. I have seen it many times. At most, next time we will collect the money first and then serve the food."

The middle-aged boss put out his cigarette butt: "Don't look for Abbott, he is more terrifying than a mercenary. His appetite is even bigger than the man just now." After saying that, he shook his head and took the He picked up the bill, made a few strokes, and sighed.

At the same time, a young man wearing ill-fitting clothes was walking on a slightly empty street, looking aimless, not knowing where he should go next. My hunger was finally resolved, but I didn't seem to be full. He has been wondering why there are no wild creatures around. It is not a wilderness, nor is it white, and there is no snow. It is all buildings that do not look new or old.

None of the books I read introduced these things, and the young man did not know how to deal with this situation. At this time, he stopped and seemed to be thinking about something. There was a scream from the corner ahead. The young man caught the sound and looked over. My legs moved there unconsciously. I don't know if it was instinct, but it was more likely because I didn't know what to do at the moment, so I just chose to go there and take a look.

In the alleyway, five people were beating the two people lying on the ground. His face was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn on the rough ground. It lasted less than half a minute before the five people stopped and gave the two people lying on the ground some breathing time.

"I must pay it all next week, I must, I must..." A man struggled to kneel down, took out a neat pile of things from his pocket with trembling hands, raised them up, still begging for mercy, but with A flattering smile.

"Okay, next week, remember." One of the five people grabbed the pile of things, counted them, and put them in his pocket. The young man stood by the alley and recognized the stack of items as imperial holy coins at a glance. In a small restaurant just now, he remembered that other people would go to the counter and leave these things behind after eating, more or less. Some content has been introduced in the book. This is called paying bills.

But I didn’t have these things on me at that time, so I just left.

This is not good, the young man thought about it, and the book also said so. But he didn't know how to get the money. The situation in front of him made him think: "Is this the transaction mentioned in the book?" Because the two people who were beaten on the ground did not seem to be dissatisfied at all, and what was described in the book was The same - trading is an activity that satisfies both parties. The exchange items can be anything, money is just one of the common ones.

As if he had thought this through, the young man clenched his fists and walked into the alleyway. Soon after, screams came from inside, but they were quickly replaced by words of "satisfaction" like begging for mercy.
