Steel steam and flame

Li Suman was obviously stunned for a while, and then she put down the communicator. She didn't know what to do for a while. She got up and went to the cupboard to get some good wine, poured a full glass, and checked the time. Then she went to get the communicator, sat by the window, and let the sun shine on her.

When she was down to less than half an hour of drinking, the communicator vibrated as she expected.

"In your eyes, I don't seem that scary, right?"

"No, I just thought of something bad temporarily and cut off contact after thinking about it." McGregor said as if nothing had happened, "Is there anything important? We just had a long chat not long ago, so The captain was also there. Speaking of which, have you communicated with the Holy Emperor about what the captain told you? The level of emphasis was a bit more than I imagined. You also know the information revealed during the team battle. This time it may be the arrival of six red stars, and the source of the news is still unknown, but in this general direction, I think the leader has the absolute right to speak, and it should not be wrong to do what she wants."

"I contacted him after I came back that day. The Holy Emperor said that he would send a professional team to take charge of this matter, so you can rest assured. In addition, I told the Holy Emperor about the Red Star. He will definitely take action next. What is it? I don't know." Li Suman answered Macquarie's questions one by one, "I will definitely take this matter seriously. I don't want to be targeted by your group leader because of something."

"Actually, the leader is usually very gentle." McGregor wanted to explain something.

"This has nothing to do with me." Li Suman said, drinking all the wine in the glass in one breath. "Recently, there is an important thing that needs your help. After completion, you will get corresponding rewards. I have a list of rewards. I’ve already watched it, and compared to the content, it’s definitely a good deal.”

"Let's talk about the content first." McGregor didn't listen to the rest of the words at all.

"Hunting an operator who is in the middle of the fifth stage." Lisuman thought for a moment before saying, "You know I will have to lead a team to the newly discovered cemetery soon, and there is no time at all. And this matter is It involves a very important plan, so we can’t wait any longer. You have a lot of high-level combat power, just randomly select a few and go out for a trip, it’s a simple matter, right?”

"It's not easy." McGree said, "It's definitely not as easy as you said. There may be protective personnel of equal strength around the target, or other situations may arise. You and I have both fought too many times with surgeons of equal strength. Many times, I know in my heart that if I want to kill a fifth-stage surgeon, in addition to absolute suppression in terms of strength and numbers, otherwise if the enemy wants to escape, the chance of being able to survive is really slim. Furthermore, even if he can kill him in the end, Killing the target and tracking it will definitely take a lot of time."

Li Suman did not speak and listened quietly to Macquarie's analysis. She knew this very well, otherwise she would not have contacted Red Man Edmila immediately after talking to her. For ordinary matters, Li Suman would go directly to General Pullman, and he would be able to handle them completely.

"It goes without saying what the status of a fifth-stage surgeon is among the forces he belongs to." Macquarie knew what Li Suman's silence meant. "By the way, the plan you just mentioned was launched not long ago. The one who informed me?”

"I don't think there's anything other than this plan that would put me in the trouble of going to a stage 5 surgeon I don't know."

"Send me the payment list." Macquarie did not continue what he had just said, and returned to his usual tone without any emotion.

"If you can lead a team to help, there will be no other risks in this matter." Li Suman started the communication machine to send the list through the encrypted band, and said, "You have many more friends than me, find a few people It’s much easier. Unlike me, there is no one except you. There are a bunch of enemies standing there.”

"But aren't you still alive and well now? It seems that there are not many people in the empire who can kill you alone. Come to think of it, there are only a few. I really don't know how you became what you are today when you were still in the seminary. Like this, I remember that you had a lot of connections back then. Even though you were born in a small family, you were more popular than the dazzling figures in the big families. They all wanted to be your allies. The sudden war changed things Everything has changed a lot.”

"Who knew, when I looked back, I also discovered this. Most of the people around me died due to various reasons. People who originally thought they would take over important positions in the family eventually deviated from their intended trajectory. Instead, It was some other unknown characters who emerged one after another and began to show their talents in an era. Fortunately, they later joined the Holy Emperor Hall and received a layer of protection, so that they can reach today, so that even those enemies can't Don’t dare to take any action against me. Just..."

The topic completely went astray, and Li Suman and Mai Geli didn't seem to notice, continuing the conversation full of memories and emotions. Their period, or rather centered on them, the people of roughly the same period before and after, seemed to have been strictly and cruelly selected by a subsequent war, no matter where they were born, no matter how well they behaved in school. Dazzling, the final judging criteria all have an important premise, which is knowing how to survive in unpredictable situations.

The more dazzling people seem to die faster, there is a feeling that when big things happen, the capable ones are always at the front. This is also true. A large number of elites melted away from each other during the war. There are not many people who can survive relying on strength and brains like Macquarie.

"Not that much anymore. A year ago, I informed you to take the test of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. In the end, you didn't follow my advice. Is it your own wish or the Holy Emperor's decision?"

"The Holy Emperor's advice is the same as yours. His mind seems to be much smarter than yours, and he gave me a detailed analysis. You know that I am not worried about the results. There will definitely be a place for me in the end. But suddenly... I don’t want to go. Women always become more willful at important moments. This is explained in the book. I prefer to call it intuition. Maybe a year ago, there were a bunch of people walking from various places through the radio. When we got together, I was just waiting for my name to appear on the list of people who participated in the assessment. This is the reason why I didn't go at that time." Li Suman said with a tone of no regrets. She also knew that if she became a Knight of the Round Table, The danger will not be closer to me, but further away. "It's okay now. After this war, I will go back to the ice field to continue guarding. I will come back forty or fifty years later and look at the changes within the empire. It feels like Like an unknown recorder. Maybe then I can disguise myself as a teacher and teach imperial history."

"I hope it's like what you said." There was sincere expectation in Macquarie's words, "Here comes the list... Are you sure the other party can provide these things?"

"I'm sure, they probably won't and don't dare to lie to me. I will cause trouble wherever I go. If they don't investigate such an important matter clearly, no matter what the final result is, they deserve it."

"Half an hour." After saying that, Macquarie cut off the contact. Listening to the "sizzling" sound in the communicator, Li Suman stayed still for a while before putting down the communicator and filling herself up with a glass of wine. The taste has stopped feeling anything about wine a long time ago. Perhaps it is the instruction given by the spiritual will to the taste. Drinking wine in the stomach is like replenishing basic water.

Li Suman lay back on the bed, picked up the magazine she bought when she was on her last mission, and continued to read, killing the next half hour. At the same time, he was thinking about the "exposure" mentioned by "Red Light" Edmila.

To say that Li Suman is not smart is absolutely not the case. Otherwise, she would not have survived until now when she was on the rear during the war. Maybe reason doesn't prevail in most cases. Many people have conducted detailed investigations and analyzes on her and have come to such a conclusion.
