Steel steam and flame

"Red Star?" The doubts in her heart suddenly increased a lot. Cassia remembered that the exact time when the Red Star appeared would be five years later, and there would only be one, or two, and it was almost impossible for six to appear at the same time. , "Also, where is this place?"

The words seemed to be like a key. Even if they only appeared in the heart, a beam of light penetrated the sea water at this moment and shined into Cassia's eyes. Instinctively, Cassia tilted her head back a little, looking for the light. When she completely sank to the bottom of the sea, she still saw a light source as bright as the sun, which was extremely far away from here, emitting light to guide the direction.

"Lighthouse on the coastline?" The thought fell silent amidst the loud buzzing sound that followed.

"Are you awake?" He didn't know the exact time, but when Cassia felt a light shaking in front of his eyes, he sat up straight unconsciously. The vision was like a machine being slowly restarted. When the scene in front of him became clear, the hearing that had successfully restarted one step earlier captured these words with surprise and joy.

There was no immediate answer. For about ten seconds, Cassia looked at a woman who was looking at her curiously - seventeen or eighteen years old, with blond hair. Her skin should have been exposed to the sun from time to time. It tends to be dark and rough, and does not have the delicate feeling that she should have at her age.

Wearing a slightly thick dress, her face is not pretty, but it doesn't look ordinary either. In short, she looks like she can make people feel comfortable. The woman had a fresh fishy smell on her body. Cassia didn't know why she judged this smell to be fresh. It should have been because he spent a long time with the fish in the lake in the uninhabited area of ​​the volcano. To.

It is in a small room with a very compact layout. Apart from the single bed where Cassia is sitting, there is only a single desk on the side, with a few books sparsely placed on it that show signs of being read for a long time. book, other than that, the only things that can be clearly observed in the room are the lamp above the head and a woman waiting for an answer.

"Where is this?" Cassia said, rubbing her head and looking out the window.

A boundless sea and a sky with good weather. The shaking underneath her body made Cassia judge that she should be referring to a boat without relying on the woman's answer, and it was a not very big fishing boat. The sound detection then confirmed her thoughts, so that Cassia didn't pay attention to what the woman said.

"It seems to have deviated a lot from the plan." By the time the woman finished speaking, Cassia had lowered her head and fell into silence. Seeing this, the woman seemed to understand something. She thought of the previous situation and was obviously treating Cassia as a seriously ill patient.

"You take a rest first, and I'll get you something to eat. I'll also call the part-time doctor over."

When the sound of closing the door came, Cassia raised her head, took a deep breath, and her body functions began to recover with the strong beating of her heart. I don't know how long I was in coma, but it must have been a week or two. This was expected by Cassia, but he originally thought that when he woke up, the scene in front of him should be a piece of frozen ice, but during the coma, the plan seemed to have gone very wrong.

"The blood flowing out of the wound mixed with the concentrated dragon blood, corroded through the iron box, and then began to corrode the remaining ice layer, eventually corroding it into a deep hole that reached directly to the sea currents under the ice layer?" Ka Xia quickly thought about the reason why she appeared here. Her weight was not enough to fight against the current, and it might not be carried to other places as it was carried.

"Then this should still be within the empire, but I don't know which offshore area it is." Cassia said to himself, looking at the sea outside and sighing, "I hope it's not too far away from the tundra." He said He said, and then got out of bed, only to find that the supporting legs of the bed had long been broken, and now it was a bed board placed on several stacked steel frames.

The body was covered with an unknown person's baggy clothes. Cassia took it off and looked at the left half of her body. The horrific wound was indeed healed in the dragon blood mixed with the medicine, leaving no trace. Even the organs shattered by the sniper bullets seemed to have never experienced that attack, and there was no change at all. But the completely missing suppressor tubes reminded Cassia that the scenes existing in the memory were not lies imagined by the brain.

That was the suppression tube that was later replaced in the volcanic no-man's land, and in Cassia's current state, their role has been decreasing day by day since they swallowed the red crystal. The role and influence of its existence seems to be little, at least Cassia's body is feedbacking information this way.

After taking a few steps, the biggest feeling was that of relaxation, as if all the accumulated worries had really disappeared. Cassia breathed out a breath and smiled unconsciously. I don’t know why this happens, I just want to smile to express my mood at the moment, that’s all.

Soon after, the three solid red mercury in the body began to emit a little warmth. At this time, the woman just opened the door with a middle-aged man with rough skin. When she saw Cassia standing in a small room, no one spoke for a while.

"Well... thank you for saving me." Cassia could probably understand the mood of the two people in front of her and said sincerely.

The topic gradually emerged when the woman first broke the strange atmosphere. This is indeed a small fishing boat with a crew of more than thirty people, and it is sailing to a port in the empire.

"Saved?" In the room, Cassia asked with doubts, like a patient who had lost his memory. Probably due to his personality, the conversation became relaxed after that.

"It's caught in a fishing net, along with those fish." The man who is a part-time doctor said carefully. He is the cook of the fishing boat, a doctor, and a repairman of the steam furnace. In short, he has nothing to do with fishing. He knows a little bit about all the work. "When you were fished out, most of your body was frozen by ice. Everyone thought you were dead, but they saw that you still had a heartbeat, so they smashed the ice and moved you here." Come to the room. Well, it took a lot of effort." The man finally added that he seemed to know something.

"Do you remember anything?" The woman interjected at this time, her eyes constantly roaming Cassia's body. This reminded Cassia of the few books placed on the desk nearby, all of which were books about strange stories on the sea.

Falling into silence at the right time, Cassia looked like she was reminiscing. The two of them stopped talking, leaving the steaming food behind. When the door was closed, Cassia raised her head and asked today's date.

"More than half a month has passed." He muttered to himself, "I wonder if the knight squire assessment has ended during this period."

A day or two later, a series of things gradually became clear, and Cassia also became familiar with several people on the ship. It was also at this time that he gave up the idea of ​​leaving the ship and swimming back to the tundra using physical strength. According to the map on the ship, it is indeed a long way from the tundra, but Cassia considers the progress of the knight squire assessment and thinks that she still has a long time to get there by other methods. The most important thing is that there is still a lot of time agreed with Cassie Hei.
