Steel steam and flame

"Now, can I think so? The team we set out from Larsa and gathered together for escort, including Mr. Adolf, was used as a bait from the beginning?" For some reason, Cassia felt Be very, very careful when Issa speaks. It was not as if she was afraid of leaving behind what she wanted to express, but rather she tried her best to restrain certain thoughts in her heart so that they would not be expressed in her words.

"In addition, as a replacement for the so-called 'Cassia', I wonder if you can provide us with some useful information, Mr. Soriato? He should be considered a member of our side and has the same enemy, right? Then Now, where is he?"

Faced with Isa's question, Cassia organized the language again so that the information could be as accurate as possible and create the illusion she wanted in Isa's mind.

"It doesn't sound very nice to say it's a bait, but when you understand the actual facts, that's what it means. What I can say is that in this way, if the organization handles it properly, it can achieve a very good result in this huge whirlpool. A good effect. Because it not only attracts the enemy's attention, but also attracts the enemy and relieves the pressure on others. I think it is a very cruel plan to a few people. I don't know if you can accept it." Deep in my heart , Cassia doesn’t want Isha and the others to position themselves like this. Even if this is the case, if you look at it from a different perspective, you can at least comfort yourself psychologically.

"I was originally a substitute for 'Cassia'. I originally thought that I wouldn't need my face for a long time in the future. I could stay in small countries such as Larsa for a few years. A relaxing day. Because I know that once the plan is launched, I will be in danger all the time, especially after entering the empire." The words are full of seriousness and sincerity. Cassia has been honest for a long time. After entering the military school It took a year or two for the things imprinted on the body and temperament to change. Therefore, it is not difficult for Cassia to take it out and use it. After all, it is the same self for a long time before. "Many things can only be forced to accept and no resistance is allowed. It seems a bit unconfident to say this, but Most situations really don’t allow you to have irrational thoughts.”

Cassia spread her hands and said that this was probably a normal situation. There are many things that can be achieved without hard work and require thinking with one's head.

"There's not a lot of useful information. I'm just a substitute. What I know about the real 'Cassia' is limited to what can be obtained within the empire by spending some time and money." Start filtering all your information, "From Let’s start answering the following questions. Probably no one knows where Cassia is now, because he disappeared more than a year ago, and the enemy’s actions this time were also to force him to appear. So the organization found out that there is a person like me, and thought it could be used , so we are here now."

"In addition, according to other people's descriptions, Cassia is a very calm and cruel man. Although he looks similar to me, he is definitely better looking than me. It is said that he is not a beautiful face, but he can still rely on his own temperament. Waiting to attract many female members." At this point, Cassia also looked at Isa and Nighthawk specifically, as if she was hinting at something, but she failed to get a response from the two.

"Killing many, many people, he is like a whirlpool, always making trouble come to him. But some people say that he is very rational and decisive. He has always been very cruel to his enemies. In terms of strength, I think if he can Make one thousand copies of Miss Isa and you three to form a team of three thousand people. There is a high probability that this number will not pose any threat."

"By the way, I heard that he read a lot of books. I bought books to read from time to time during my trip. I bought them because I knew this information and where I was. I hope that through reading books, I can develop roughly the same aura in my body." Cassia's expression didn't even move. He was speaking these words completely from the perspective of a bystander, "In short, I have never seen the real 'Cassia', but I want to meet him. After all, he is a As for the real thing and the substitute, I still want to see what the person I am replacing is really like.”

The last sentence even had a bit of regret in it. Cassia shook her head and said, "This information is just for listening to. It is of little use to us. To be honest, I am also curious. The only possibility , that is, we try our best to survive in the time that passes, and maybe we can see him one day. But I still hope that you suppress your curiosity and leave the team as soon as you find a good opportunity."

"There is a living space for you within the empire, but it is not now or in the future. Many people will die. The enemies are all powerful families. Their own strength can match that of a small country. It will not be possible for a few teams of surgeons to compete. s things."

The questions became few and far between after that, and by the end of the period, Cassia became a lonely narrator, explaining to Isa and the others the environment within the empire and things that needed special attention. But fortunately, Isa Nighthawk and the others also have a basic understanding of the empire, and the three of them were all in the Flame Alliance. Cassia used some things there for comparison, and it was easy for them to understand which things were life-threatening. of.

More than half an hour before the train departed again, Cassia and the others left the restaurant one after another and went to stroll around the streets. After buying the books she needed in a small bookstore, Cassia returned to the station. It has been deeply invaded by the culture of the empire. At least in terms of language, Imperial language has become the mainstream here, and most of the books are printed in Imperial language.

Of course, General Pullman also felt the same way. The time he left the empire was counted in decades, but some memories would stay with him until he died one day. Unconsciously, General Pullman sighed. He thought of his feelings when he left the Empire decades ago. This time, looking in the direction of Manoma, he felt that his whole life was in a circle, and finally he circled back to that many people. The starting place - Manoma.

The intercontinental train started with several whistles and headed towards the small country bordering the empire's border area. Most of the people in the car were relaxed as the mission was about to end, but a very small number of them were deep in thought and helpless.
