Steel steam and flame

After that, time will no longer be as easy as for a small country, and its power will once again shrink from its huge proportion to its due proportion.

Birdsong occasionally came from the quiet surroundings, and sound wave pulses were emitted together with perception. Cassia, who was walking halfway up the mountain, did not see anything suspicious. At a very fast speed, Cassia spent part of the time circling around the mountainside. The calm scene around him was very different from what he had imagined.

No large trampling marks were found on the ground. This is indeed a place that no one has been to for a long, long time. Cassia chose to wait for some time. After turning around on the mountainside and returning to the original spot, the time was around five o'clock in the afternoon. Before dusk came, Cassia, who was waiting calmly, set off again. With the last bit of light in the evening, she found herself on a rock that was mostly covered in ice and snow.

The highest point of the mountain is a raised rock platform. The height is not difficult for the surgeon to climb. After carefully observing the surroundings, Cassia chose a backlit position and went to the rock platform, watching the sun disappear at the junction of the ground and the sky in the icy wind.

There is no layout at all. Standing at a high place, the broad field of vision allows him to discover many things. The surrounding mountains were undulating. After taking a deep breath, Cassia sat down and pulled out the tactical knife that he had inserted into the rock before he came.

The tactical knife brought up a piece of light gray mountain rock that had been cut in advance, just like the wooden cover of the basement stairs. Under the rock was a small cavity the size of an adult's head. In the cavity was a suitcase wrapped in waterproof cloth. . The sound wave pulse penetrated the rock and after confirming that there were no other signal transceivers around, Cassia reached out and lifted it up.

Cassia did not open it immediately. The sound wave pulse had determined that there was only a communicator in the suitcase. He understood what Hai wanted to do. He didn't use the organization's communicator to say more last night, probably because he was afraid that the information would be intercepted. It was very windy at the top of the mountain and not a good place to talk. Returning to the mountainside, Cassia found an exposed rock and sat down before opening the suitcase.

In addition to the communicator, there were unexpectedly two photos inside that were not "seen" by high-frequency sound waves because they were too thin. It was shot from the side, from the same angle, at the same time. The scene was taken when Isa, Nighthawk, and Owl were following a team moving forward in the mountain forest. Isa and the others look good, but their mental state is not very good, at least Cassia thinks so.

"I wonder if Hai told them anything." Cassia muttered to himself. He didn't have any research on communication machines. He had no idea of ​​checking the communication machine. He could only press the button on it and let the contact communicate in the preset program. Start connecting next.

Familiar electronic noise, Cassia lay down at this moment, pillowing her head with the suitcase, admiring the many stars that were gradually brightening in the dark blue sky. Only in this short period of time did he have such an opportunity.

"Mr. Cassia, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a while before the knight squire assessment, right?" A voice with memory sounded in his ears, and Cassia's head automatically appeared in a gray-white dress and a gray-white top hat. , holding a gray-white cane and sword in his hand, there must be a smile on his face, gentle but polite.

"It's been a long time. I remember that I started preparing for the knight squire assessment." Cassia responded calmly.

"I have been thinking about it, Mr. Cassia, why did you choose to take the opportunity to take the Knight Squire test to disappear? There is still a lot of time. Several of your friends are in good condition now. I think we should be able to talk for a long time. Time. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and there was a gap in information about Mr. Cassia, so I think there will be a lot of topics between us." Without the idea of ​​​​entering the topic directly, Hai did have a lot of interest in Cassia at that end of time. interest. After the knight squire ended, Haikou naturally thought that Cassia would become a knight squire, but the reality and expectation went in completely opposite directions.

Cassia didn't think much about it. He and Hai had the same idea at this time. The time and number of topics did give them enough time to talk for a long time, he hoped, and as far as he was concerned, it would be good news to get in touch with Hai. From here, you can get a lot of information about the internal situation of the empire.

"For what?" Cassia felt that she couldn't say it for a moment. "It's not for what. It doesn't feel good to be stared at by most people all year round, Mr. Hei. Some things always require a free and private time to do it. Only by doing it can it be effective. It is probably for these reasons. But after having your own time, it is indeed a benefit. At least it will become easier to hide your own information, so that you can also create a blur in front of the enemy. The fog is coming."

"But I think the harvest may not be very good. The environment of a small country has an upper limit." Hai analyzed, "But Mr. Cassia, you have to be very conscious to begin with, and the upper limit will not restrict you. .”

"It's just a steady growth, but there is really no pressure in a small country, and many things become easier because of strength. After returning to the empire, this way of thinking must be changed into the empire's model, otherwise many actions will be in vain Unexpected trouble will arise.”

"By the way, Mr. Hai, what is Ye Jielin's current status? She will sign an agreement with you, largely because there is no feasible way." Cassia's straightforward words made Hai laugh on the other side.

"I was also surprised that Miss Ye Jielin contacted me at that time. It was all unexpected. But coming to the belt mountains was in the plan because there were some things that needed to be done. Just because of the relationship with Miss Ye Jielin There are some things beyond the plan. Miss Ye Jielin's current situation will not be very good. As early as when various forces were preparing for the belt mountains, Miss Ye Jielin returned to the station of the Knights of the Round Table. , never come out again.”

"Is it the headquarters of the Knights of the Round Table? I initially thought it would be the headquarters of the Webley family."

"Miss Ye Jielin is the daughter of the former patriarch, and the patriarch of the Webley family has been replaced. The twenty-three princes, or the controlling family of the seven giant companies, no matter which family Miss Ye Jielin is in, she will be like this Result. But the accident happened to you, Mr. Cassia. You provided key help to Miss Ye Jielin. The identity of the knight's squire made the Webley family waver. The knight's squire involves a lot of interests, Webley The family did not give up its courage directly, so the current situation occurred. If it were not for Mr. Cassia, I think Miss Ye Jielin would go to a remote area of ​​the empire to manage the local government after the transfer of power from the patriarch to the other. Webley Company."

"This is a result deduced based on the internal processing of the Hill family, and the deviation will not be large."
