Steel steam and flame

Cassia's sonic pulse monitors the enemy, and no movement can escape his detection. The enemy lost the opportunity to know about this operation at the source, and what awaited them later would be an unexpected attack, and within minutes they would face a complete collapse and failure of the mission.

Cassia sat alone in front of the window of the hotel room. The broad view brought by the height of the 23rd floor allowed him to overlook the entire scenery of the city's central area. Shrouded in various colors of lights, the faint sound highlights the different excitement of each city at night. I enjoy this tranquility and leisure. Nothing can affect me, but I can control everything. Knowing that this is a feeling that arises based on many foundations, Cassia understands what it is, a symbol of combined rights and strength. Even if it is only a little bit insignificant at the moment, the impact on Cassia will not be small for a while.

"Some things, some things can only be separated from theories and books and see the roots after experiencing it personally." While speaking, Cassia had already left the window and returned to the table to look at the map. "If it were me, let me When I make a choice, there is a high probability that I will, like the four forces in the empire, strengthen my power and dominance from all aspects. Build an endless and extremely strong barrier to block the vast majority of people. Outside. There are really not many people who can resist this feeling. Even if they know that the surgeon will die, but in the meantime..."

"I'm still too young. At this moment, I can't imagine what those people who stand at the top of the power pyramid are thinking about. It can be said that they are already at the top of the world and can do whatever they want. It’s not an exaggeration to control the life and death of most people. There is almost no possibility of further progress in any aspect. The only thing left is to enjoy this tranquility and leisure that I don’t know how to describe.”

Cassia was a little surprised why she suddenly thought about this, but later she changed her thinking and thought that there was nothing wrong with this, and maybe it would be a good thing, but not necessarily. I have always known that I have no leadership skills, and it is not a bad idea to be a soldier who follows orders. Does having this kind of thought mean that I have learned something over time?

Cassia thinks this is for sure. Her learning ability is very strong. Even though she is far behind others, she is still making progress.

"For those people, if there was no threat like Noir, the only thing they would be afraid of would be visible death, right? They are all advanced surgeons, and their understanding of physical conditions has become like carrying it with them. Several precision medical monitoring machines. It is possible that they may even know how many years later they will enter the aging stage, and then how many years later, they will be in the aging stage, even if they rely on any medicine or method. After being unable to extend his lifespan any longer, he will die every minute."

"That is definitely the scariest thing in their hearts, maybe." Cassia said, "Staying at the top of the pyramid for decades, in addition to hindering other people who want to climb up, their greatest pursuit is to try their best to It might not be a mistake to extend one's lifespan. After all, second-class creatures like dragons can easily live for more than a thousand years, which is almost equivalent to the history of the entire empire."

Cassia sometimes likes to do this kind of guessing game that follows the train of thought: "And for dragons, the second category of creatures, a thousand years should only be a not-so-long part of their lives. "Cassia thought, at this moment, he suddenly seemed to have grasped something important.

A vague impression appeared in his mind that he had not thought about before. Cassia felt that it was very, very important, but for a while there was no data or any information that could be associated with it to automatically complete the details of this impression. But remember the general information.

"Eternal life? Or is it relying on any form of immortality? Continuously continuing until there is no end to time?"

"The spirit of the first generation of Knight King resides in his skull. It has probably been a thousand years since he survived. Although his body has died and disappeared, this should be regarded as a means of extending life. Although he was in his spiritual world at the time During the conversation, it can be seen that he did not want to do this, but was forced to do it for some reasons that I am not clear about. However, there are already examples, and it is impossible for these people in the highest positions of power not to know some similar information."

At this time, Cassia remembered another piece of information, which is something that people in the empire will know from birth to when they can basically think - gods. Looking at it now, Cassia has always believed that the so-called gods are likely to be some extremely powerful surgeons with the ability to develop special surgical projects, or some powerful and long-standing second-type creatures. Because no matter which one of the two, the survival time will be extremely long. The long time and strength, astonishing wisdom and experience make it not difficult for them to establish an institution like the Holy Temple among ordinary humans. What is needed is a slow accumulation of time at best.

This kind of information will definitely be known to those in high positions. And the current second type of creatures, like dragons, have a lifespan that many surgeons envy. The original origin of the surgery was because of the war, which required strong strength and a group of very strong people to use some powerful war killing machines. But wars do not happen every day. During the peaceful times, the assimilation and fusion brought by surgery to human beings, the perfect evolutionary substances mentioned by Sukarius, etc., cannot go undiscovered.

During those times, it was inevitable that someone in a high position would aim the initial goal of the operation at lifespan or immortality. Besides, there is still an ancient historical era where holy swords and holy spears can be made. Just from the scene described by all the murals in the dragon tombs in the volcanic uninhabited area of ​​the volcano that the first-generation Knight King Groat originally told, it has already been told that in the Later Phase Continent, or in other words, the three-phase continental plate. In history, there once existed a world that was more prosperous than it is now.

Not to mention the second dream I had experienced, and the two visions at different times. Cassia is not sure whether the things shown in it are all facts that exist today, but in a certain time dimension, they did exist, and were preserved and passed on through some kind of substance.

"That is the perfectly evolved material!" This may be another important point, Cassia vaguely noticed, "The perfectly evolved material retains this information, which comes from different types and fragments presented by different individuals. They have not disappeared in history. , but has been inherited. Can it be said that, to a certain extent, perfectly evolved matter can preserve something from being erased by time, or can it be said that perfectly evolved matter is synonymous with immortality?"

"There is also what the first generation of Knight King said. If possible, please throw his skull into the endless sea."

She was thinking a little too much for a while, but when Cassia withdrew from this kind of thoughts, she found that her face and ears were red, and she was emitting an amazing amount of heat.

At this moment, Waters' communication came through, interrupting Cassia's thoughts of continuing.

"It's not necessary. These are not things I can contact at the moment." Cassia said to herself and pressed the answer button.
