Steel steam and flame

With the old man's keen insight, he could see something from Ye Jielin's serious face.

"You need to seize the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, which depends on your own ability." The old man continued, "But Gabriel's words are not wrong. By staying in the station, you are indeed solving the approaching danger from the source. It's just that. It is very easy for the enemy to do something drastic if you stay in the station without taking a step. As mentioned earlier, Tovilest is not controlled by the rules of the empire. If he values ​​this opportunity very much, he will most likely let his men take the initiative. Attack the Knights of the Round Table station. This is probably what Gabriel is worried about right now. He must have such a meaning in recommending you to come to me."

"I attack from time to time to give the enemy the illusion that I am just being extremely cautious?" Ye Jielin, who rarely spoke, would only ask what she wanted to know at important points.

The old man nodded, knowing very well that Ye Jielin could think of this.

"So this is just a way to delay time and cannot fundamentally solve the source of the danger. But with enough time, you can find the real leader of this incident from the subtleties. Having dealt with Tovi Lust for decades, If his personality does not change again, he will only be a main promoter in this incident, not the leader."

"I'm very willing to believe this. Don't forget that he was once the head of the Qilaandi family. When he looks at the various families in the four directions, his perspective is completely different from yours. Because he understands each other, he understands that relying on these families cannot What makes things successful, at least for these families, after the operation really starts, the priority of all actions is to try their best to make the people they send out seem to have nothing to do with them. As for whether the operation is successful, it will not matter to the current situation, but also to them The impact will not be huge.”

"Because he knows these families, Tovilest would not count on them from the beginning, and would not take the initiative to plan this operation?" After a short pause, Ye Jielin started from the old man's words. The key points were extracted, "This time he will appear in our sights, just because Torvillest knew that forces outside the empire were involved, and he judged that his participation and help would increase the chance of success. To a more optimistic level?”

Ye Jielin seemed to be explaining to herself and at the same time asking the old man.

The old man did not speak, but looked at Ye Jielin quietly. The dim light in his eyes signaled Ye Jielin to continue speaking, without paying attention to herself beside him.

"If you want to solve the source of the danger, you need to find the person next to Torvellest. It is not a force within the empire, because as long as it is done, it will leave traces. When the crazy girl comes back, it is most likely that she belongs to the family The high-level surgeons have been slaughtered, which basically means that this family cannot continue to maintain its strength and is slowly being eliminated by the times."

"People from the other two giant countries? Because the time of the Red Star is getting closer and closer, are you starting to do something before the war?"

The old man grabbed the small kettle that he used to spray water on the plants again, and put it on his knees, as if he was taking care of his beloved toy. "This requires you to look for clues yourself, and finally come up with the answer. The collection of information, and finding The connection between information is very important. There is not much I can give you here, many places are restricted, and what I give you is just a general idea."

"It's almost time. Even if you are a knight's attendant, it won't be long before the person in charge of the hospital comes to ask you to leave. There are a few points you need to remember. First, within the empire, there are people who have the courage to take action now. The Chira Andi family. Gabriel is probably also trying to get in touch with them, but the chance is slim. You need to come forward, so as to increase the success rate and ensure your own safety."

"The second point is about the leader behind the scenes. Don't ever think of using Torvillest as a breakthrough. He is very smart, I can testify to this. He will not give the enemy any chance on himself. You have to understand the whole thing In this case, why would the enemy launch a plan against you?"

"Cassie..."

The old man raised his hand to indicate to Ye Jielin that it would be fine if she knew and there was no need to say it out loud.

"The last two points are that you must make full use of your status as a knight's attendant and apply for various support and protection from the Knights of the Round Table and the Imperial Parliament. You must attract enough attention and try to involve as many people as possible. Of course, this is important for You don't benefit at all, the one who benefits is the other person, who needs this chaos because he can find many opportunities. And then there is the crazy girl who left."

The old man paused here and his throat moved. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be inappropriate to say such words from his own mouth. But in the end, the old man still spoke, his voice lowered, "I heard that the crazy girl always carries a small notebook with her, and she will write down some people's names and things in it from time to time. When the time is right, she will write them down together. deal with."

"Of course, you can't add anything to the crazy girl's notebook. But in this way, you can imitate it. Isn't that fat guy from Infinite Communications Company always with you, packaging this habit of the crazy girl? , spread it out. But add the news that you are doing the same thing - you also have your own little notebook, just like a diary, where you will write down the names of many people and various things."

"Then, the most important thing is that your little book will be shared with Cassia. This must be known to most people. You have no connection with the crazy girl, but Cassia does!"

As if he had finished saying everything, the old man sighed, and then there was a knock on the door of the room. The old man looked over and narrowed his eyes slightly. When Ye Jielin turned her head, a middle-aged man wearing a white doctor's uniform was already standing at the door.

"Ye Jielin, remember, feelings often do not generate power, but only bring disaster. No one can deny that it can indeed bring many unexpected miracles, but it is definitely a situation that needs to be adjusted according to different times. Section, and go to things that are treated rationally!”

Perhaps this is the most important thing the old man wants to tell Ye Jielin. A former patriarch, a father who was incompetent due to his position and identity, and an old man who has lived for more than a hundred years and is full of life experience. He and Ye Jielin stand in different perspectives, and they also understand that in this Depending on the age, which ones are strengths and which ones are fatal weaknesses.

The door was gently closed, and the old man also put down the small kettle, sat back on the chair alone, and sighed, "After all, there is not enough time left for these young people. In a few years, there will be places that can become Stage. Now, no matter how lucky or powerful you are, your resistance in front of the family is too weak."

,,,,,,

The intercontinental trains that exist in small countries and connect most countries over long distances are not as luxurious as Cassia imagined, although he has ridden them once before. It is a very old-fashioned model, with hybrid power, steam and electricity coexisting. Vibrations and clanking sounds are heard from time to time on the poorly maintained track sections.

The seats on this train are relatively spacious, and it doesn't seem crowded even if three people sit in each seat.

On Cassia's left sat the silent and sad Adolf, with an expression that looked like he had lost something he loved, at least Cassia read this. Adolf had been looking out the window since he got on the train. On the right is Trevikan, who is also silent and has no attachment to things. His hands are crossed on his chest. Compared with Adolf, who will make some noise from time to time, he is completely silent. He lowered his head, not knowing whether to look at the long and narrow table set up in front of him or at his brand-new shoes. In short, the lack of any luster in his eyes was his biggest feature at the moment.

In the middle of the seat opposite, there was Isa who raised her head from time to time and glanced at Cassia with worried eyes. With her face and head full of doubts, she had not yet figured out why she entered the mission and therefore sat on this train. To the right of Isa, by the window, is a man wearing a breathable hat. He is a man with a bare head. Through the mesh on the hat, you can see the shining light in the sun. The man had a very beautiful face, at least Cassia thought that would definitely be the type that women would like very much, but at this moment, neither Isa nor the woman on her left was interested in him.

The last woman got on the train and sat down to the left of Isa. She immediately took off her black backpack and put it on her knees as a pillow to kill the boring journey with sleep. Cassia's only impression of her, apart from her long black hair, was her eyes full of all kinds of light under a pair of lavender-rimmed glasses.
