Steel steam and flame

"Mr. Soriato, the specific answer will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. I have already sent the application to the black market suppliers above, and they are also quickly asking if they have the goods you need around them. You know, this takes time." The man in front of me looked very gentle and looked like a teacher educating students. It's just that his appearance is a bit out of place, resembling an educated aristocrat, and his temperament is indeed consistent with that of a black market middleman with such power. "I believe the final result will not disappoint you. Because it is not a regulated or prohibited transaction." It’s just that the supply of items is always in short supply. And the people who use them are also a specific group, and we are asking about this specific group, that is, the doctors in the dark world.”

"As for your other commission, Mr. Soriato, we will ask the doctors themselves while inquiring about the goods. According to your request, we will help you negotiate the price. Please be mentally prepared. At present, due to some Well, there are no doctors in this area. If you want to ask them to provide home services, the cost will definitely be much higher than usual."

"Price is not an issue. As long as the time can be shortened as much as possible, a little more expensive is acceptable." Cassia replied, "Then this transaction ends here. If there is any news, you can have someone go to the same place to find me. I spend a few hours there these afternoons."

"Then I look forward to meeting Mr. Soriato next time." The man stood up to express his courtesy. Cassia stood up and returned the greeting, then turned and walked out of the quiet tavern.

There are other middlemen who need to meet, and Cassia has already thought of the results of several other people. The businessman in the tavern just now is considered the most powerful black market middleman here. From weapons to high-end works of art in daily life, as long as he can afford their prices, he can almost satisfy his own requirements with money.

But like he said, it takes time. This is the only thing that cannot be measured in money.

Walking slowly on the street, Cassia found the location of the park, went there, sat on the edge of a small fountain, and opened the information on the transaction just now.

Records of recent important events in the Chil Kingdom and several surrounding small countries. The affairs regarding the King's influence in the Kingdom of Chil can be put aside for the time being. Because I have been in contact with Wimmer, the information I got from him is that the war should be making final preparations, and we just need to wait for a more suitable time.

For how long specifically, Weimer has not yet had access to this kind of information. His superiors also asked him to stay here, and important tasks will be issued soon.

"Probably to cooperate with the army to destroy the air defense base in advance and open up a safe area for air power." Cassia knew that this was what Wimmer deliberately revealed to him. It is impossible not to use his own power in every possible way to ensure the important Safe conduct of tasks.

Arrangements for personnel and supplies have also begun, and in a few days, the second batch of reinforcements will arrive. Cassia had asked what was going on at the Wimer Mine. Hessler's failure may make the enemy increase their efforts against the group of mercenaries and bounty hunters. The answer was that in the enemy stronghold in the gathering town provided by Cassia, all the personnel were evacuated at some point, and no traces could be found. There was no dynamic feedback in the mine. It was as if nothing happened that night, as if what had happened was forgotten by everyone, and everything went back to a few days ago.

"We will pretend not to know the situation in the mines and air defense bases, and send personnel there irregularly to continue the investigation to confuse the enemy's judgment."

"But be careful. We have been involved in some team issues recently. We won't be in the mine in a short time, so the assistance here is zero." Cassia reminded before the communication was cut off. The operation can achieve very good results, and the only worry is the risk of those mercenaries being followed.

It was also because of Wimer's communication that Cassia felt suspicious that there was no movement in the mine. Subconsciously, I thought it shouldn't be the case, unless the Imperial surgeon over there was dealing with something else. This is the reason why I purchased this information.

Originally, I didn't want to find out why the other party came to the Qil Kingdom. It was most likely related to Charlotte, and that was something Cassia didn't want to get involved with.

After thinking about it carefully, whether it was based on the internal war or Waters' arms business, it seemed that nothing could be done about Charlotte. It will be more or less involved. Cassia regarded it as a preparatory work and decided to investigate the basic situation to provide a guiding basis for subsequent judgments.

Regarding Charlotte, you can’t bypass the Kingdom of Bolandon. Cassia had personally experienced what happened at the station and Filoka Town. She still had clear memories of both sides of the battle, as well as the corpses of the combatants she encountered in the wilderness when she left. From the equipment configuration, it can be seen that neither party is a member of a small force, and both have strong power backgrounds.

"Many small countries will be involved, and the knights and attendants of the empire will lead the team to participate..." Various signs gave Cassia a bad smell, "It won't be a huge whirlpool, right?" His intuition made him feel a kind of The feeling of discomfort is like a ship that may capsize at any time in a storm, not knowing what kind of bad situation we will face next.

Intelligence data also shows that several small countries on the border of the Qil Kingdom have not been very quiet recently. The most common ones are that some forces in the dark world were completely eradicated by mysterious forces within a few days, and some countries' central High-level officials disappear for no apparent reason and so on.

"Is it because of the macro impact of less than five years before the war?" Cassia remembered this incident, and the long countdown was becoming less and less.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Cassia crumpled the information into a ball and threw it into the trash when leaving the park. He still needed to meet with two middlemen before nightfall. He planned to have a quick bite before heading to the agreed upon location.

On the street, Cassia walked straight towards the street with many restaurants. The natural camouflage allows him to blend in completely with the pedestrians on the street, without any sense of being out of place, and he will always be just an ordinary member of them.

Less than five hundred meters away from the street she wanted to go to, Cassia, who was walking slowly, suddenly felt an undisguised gaze falling on her. Then, the number began to increase rapidly, and one became six. Calmly, as if nothing happened or felt anything, Cassia turned on the sound wave detection while maintaining the current state and continuing to walk.

In the sound waves, there were indeed six people standing and looking at him on the other side of the street.

"Ka...Xia?" Surprise, confusion, but also filled with indescribable emotions of joy, like being lucky enough to be favored by the gods, that's what it felt like. It’s just that Cassia was destined not to hear these exclamatory words.
