Steel steam and flame

Cassia knew that the person opposite him could definitely imagine what he looked like now, and he could also guess what he was thinking and feeling at the moment.

"I have only been paying attention to you, Mr. Hai, but I have forgotten that I am not a reassuring person. There are also iron chains that imprison myself." Taking a deep breath, Cassia admitted the problem that Hai wanted to explain. From many aspects, the two have a lot in common. Some can complement each other, and some cannot. You can only rely on your own thinking to understand.

Neither of them had any resistance to this, and it was their default attitude. You won't stop the other person from mentioning it, nor will you take the initiative to let the other person talk. It's a natural attitude. If you encounter it, just let him continue.

As if the question was thrown to Hai again, after a brief helpless laugh in the communicator, what should have been answered by Cassia was relayed by Hai.

"Mr. Cassia, you are indeed an extremely special person. After the knight squire assessment, while you disappeared, with a lot of resources and energy, I finally obtained some information that I think is very precious." Hai said. , full of memories, as if he wanted to share a secret with his best friend, "Want to hear it?"

"Maybe it can bring back the color of my fading memories. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Hai." Cassia replied politely.

"Before this, I have to lament the advantages of the intelligence agencies of various families within the empire. They are good at destroying all kinds of information and making them disappear completely, as cleanly as if they have never appeared before, but they can also be used in this kind of situation. The powerful destruction method has preserved a lot of information fragments for later generations to pursue them and discover the truth. At least during the investigation, this is the first time I have seen this situation. Just think about it, after all, he is the third generation of the Knight King of the Empire, behind the scenes There is also the Avalon Agency. The super analysis machines of each family and each institution are provided and built by the Avalon Agency. Only they can completely delete the data from each super analysis set. "

"But..." Hai, who deliberately emphasized his tone, was very interested, "This may be the biggest difference between researchers, professors, and scientists and the rest of us. They believe in machines, performance and data, and their own experimental results. , I don’t really believe in theology,,, well, or anything that doesn’t have exact basis for data.”

"Anything that has ever happened will never be forgotten and will always be recorded in history. A sentence in a theology book." Hai said, with a feeling of complaint. Cassia had never seen Hai with such rich emotions. , at least that was the case in previous contacts. "The investigation was troubled at every turn. Almost every path was completely disconnected within a few steps, and it was completely impossible to see where it would be connected again. I don't know who it is, but It is a fact that intelligence agencies have always been following you and will eliminate information that can be eliminated at any time. Mr. Cassia, you can be anyone now, because you have never existed in the empire's identity card system."

"I can probably understand this situation." Cassia replied, "It really brings you trouble, Mr. Hai."

"I accept your apology, Mr. Cassia." He was a little happy. "Let me tell you what I know. You will definitely be interested and can help me correct my mistakes."

"There is no need to talk about the details. The most important thing among them should be you, Mr. Cassia. If there is no unexpected incident that I don't know about now, you probably just graduated from the Imperial Heavy Industry School now, right?"

"In four years, the time can be matched." Cassia breathed out, "Maybe I will go to a large factory to be an engineer. In terms of mechanics, I will start to be exposed to giant ships and see the entire assembly process of airships. Wait. According to my thinking at the time, going to the church to be an emissary, a job closer to home, was the job I wanted most. That might be the case, because the salary of an emissary is indeed better than that of an engineer. very many."

"This is never the point, Mr. Cassia. Although I hope that you can follow the route you want at that time, on the other hand, I don't want to lose someone as interesting as you." The tone was terrifying. With contradiction, "Before coming to Manoma, the conclusion I came to from my investigation is that Mr. Cassia, you seem to have been living in a relatively remote part of the empire since you were very young. Remember when you came to Manoma Is that car re-training? Huge resources are tilted towards the passengers on it. Fortunately, the time span is not long, so I know some interesting information from some people. But there are only two points. "

Cassia remained silent and listened quietly to Hao's words.

"First point, someone on that heavy train seemed to have been killed by a revolver. As expected, I thought of you, Mr. Cassia, who likes to use revolvers the most, so you were the one who targeted the shooter. Second The point also starts with the word 'seems'. It seems that the manager on the heavy train has disappeared, but of course, his information is still there, and his name is Valoka.' For the reason of randomly killing a passenger on the heavy train, He was sentenced to death. He used a .10 revolver. This is the approximate record of the information. But I think this should put what you did, Mr. Cassia, in this criminal record. It’s Mr. Lorca’s body. As for why..."

"It turns out his name is Varokka. I only remember his face and the fox in the book, with an uncomfortable smirk. Just like you said, the .10 pistol and the only bullet are mine. I accidentally picked it up on the heavy train. With a caliber of ten millimeters, that bullet directly exploded a person's head. And Varokka, Mr. Hai, you know the reason. This kind of thing happened on the heavy train, and it was in a remote area at that time. , just throw the body away. So,,,"

"Solved with money in standard units of measurement, I think this is the result." Hai finished what Cassia had not finished, "This is the point, Mr. Cassia. I never thought that the shot on the restatement could directly change You, it takes more experience and time to make you what you are now.”

"But let's go back to before that shot." He took a deep breath and said, "Before coming to Manoma, Mr. Cassia, you were probably just an ordinary person with good academic performance and an interest in mechanical steam. Ordinary civilians who are interested in power? They have never come into contact with nobles above the baron level and know almost nothing about the empire, let alone surgery."

He foresaw that Cassia would not answer his words. After a short pause, Hei spoke with a smile: "First of all, I have to marvel at your changes, Mr. Cassia, and your ability to accept and adapt to new things. But here we must also The most serious question that leads to Mr. Cassia is the question I asked - Mr. Cassia, do you know that you have been missing something until now? "

"You probably know these things, Cassia. As a commoner, the education you received is the poorest in the empire. It is like the necessary nutrients to maintain a person's life activities. It is only enough to maintain it, and it is not enough to bring any other It is impossible to let things grow up healthily. Mr. Cassia, you have indeed changed a lot now, and I have to admire your talent..."

"But, from my personal point of view, Mr. Cassia, you still have too much to add. In my eyes, you are a cold killing machine with only a hard outer shell, but there are some important things inside. It’s still empty.”

"Thought,..., there must be a word to explain it. I think it is this word, Mr. Cassia. Ambition is not only a part of thought, but sometimes ambition can also be the whole of thought."

"Mr. Cassia, in a little while, this incident about Ye Jielin may be over. By then, I can't think of anything else that can fill this void and use it to motivate your heavy steel body." The body is gone. Just trying to protect something is not enough to be a long-term fuel."
