Steel steam and flame

He fumbled and pressed on the wall, and a piece of seemingly hard whitewashed wall dented. Macquarie pierced the whitewashed wall with his fingers, reached in and pulled out a long black alloy box. It was covered with dust. It was not something that had been put in recently. It had been in this secret room for a long, long time.

Placing it on the small table in the room, McGregor pressed the lock with both hands. With a "pop" sound, the long alloy box opened, and an airtight sound emitted a burst of white mist that immediately frosted the wooden table. . He gently fanned his hand, and the white mist spread, freezing the entire desktop. The temperature in the secret room immediately dropped by more than ten degrees as the white mist spread. The breaths of the two of them now turned into rising heat.

"Beluga whale's freezing air?" Li Suman asked, who suddenly became energetic. She raised her head and looked at the white ceiling of the secret room in a thoughtful manner, overturning her suspicion, "The frozen air of the beluga whale is not something that is easy to obtain... This is a piece taken from the core of the so-called 'liquid nitrogen sea' Extremely cold crystals, just like those mithril-like objects in the hexagram pattern that have not disappeared under time."

"Have you ever been to the 'Liquid Nitrogen Sea'? I've been in the tundra for so long. If something happens there, I shouldn't not know about it." Li Suman stood up and went to Macquarie's side, leaning her head Look into the alloy box. Most of the white mist had dissipated at this time, but there was still a wisp of light smoke that continued to spread like an unextinguished candle. Its source is a translucent stone smaller than the little finger. It has no specific shape and is milky white.

"In normal times, when one person faces so many enemies, there will definitely be problems. But now that the group leader has the authority, and after knowing some things, there should be no problems." Macquarie's words seemed to be addressing Li Suman. Showing off something, "This seems to be the preparation of the leader, but I don't understand why she would put things here. As for the 'liquid nitrogen sea', this is indeed an extremely cold crystal, but it is the inventory of the Knights of the Round Table. Something collected a long time ago.”

As he spoke, McGregor reached out and took out two very simple-looking flintlock pistols from a long alloy box. It was a product decades ago. Although it did not bear the year of manufacture mark, both of them understood the status of the flintlock weapon among high-level surgeons and the manufacturing capabilities required behind each exquisite flintlock gun.

When the Empire was founded, this was the earliest and most versatile thermal weapon. Weapons made in this style have an "original" meaning, which is like paying homage to history and of course a reflection of its own nobility.

Taking one and handing it to Li Suman, McGregor then picked up the four bullets one by one that exuded a silvery white luster in the box. After taking a closer look at the fluorescent blood-red ring marks behind the four bullets, Macquarie said softly: "This is a product of the Avalon Agency, not something created by the four forces of the empire. I don't know what will happen. Different." The two red-ringed bullets collided in McGregor's hand, and the crisp vibrato had the power to penetrate the spirit.

Li Suman took the two red-ringed bullets, looked at them briefly, and then focused on the remaining items in the alloy box again. It was a stick-shaped object about one and a half meters long, and its entire body was silver with an imperceptible light blue tint. It is carved with mysterious patterns and strange characters and symbols. There was no need to try to interpret it. Li Suman knew what it was just from the pattern.

"The Holy Spear is divided into three parts. Your captain holds one part, and Knight Commander Hilda holds another part. Is this the last third of the Holy Spear? I always thought it would be placed in the Avalon Institution. Use it as research material.”

"The one third that was used for research was in the hands of Miss Hilda. It was recently taken out of the Avalon Organization by the leader. The leader said that if the Avalon Organization can decipher the Holy Sword And the holy spear, so it was completed hundreds of years ago, so there is no need to wait until today." Macquarie held the third of the holy spear in his hand, and the penetrating cold instantly made his hands wet. Covered with a layer of dry frost powder, "There is unfounded news that the Avalon Agency has actually interpreted the Holy Spear and the Holy Sword almost completely. The remaining small part may not be because of their incompetence in ability and technology, but It just takes a suitable time.”

As he spoke, Macquarie closed the alloy box, took a black cloth bag of unknown material that had been prepared long ago, and wrapped one third of the holy gun. He and Li Suman loaded two red-ring bullets into their tunnel-fired pistols at the same time and looked at each other.

"The artificial inductive force field of the Knights of the Round Table will not be turned off. It is a device controlled by the Super Analytical Engine. Unless the defense program of the Super Analytical Engine is completely broken, it is impossible. Otherwise, when the news spreads, there will definitely be people around. There are a lot of people from other families coming to observe. As long as a little bit of information is leaked, it will be very easy for the Holy Emperor Hall to find you. You must wear the alloy mask. It is made according to your face shape, so you don’t have to worry about the enemy. Perception will detect your appearance through the alloy mask. Finally, regarding the surgical development project... this seems to be the aspect that you don't have to worry about the least, right?"

Li Suman nodded, feeling a little proud. She turned back to the bedside and picked up a pair of slender, curved knives and fixed them in the scabbard at her waist. "I know... you have said these things more than once. I know the consequences, so you Don’t worry about your identity.”

"Four...five people?" At this time, Li Suman turned her head and glanced at the vast Knights of the Round Table station on the ground through the thick concrete and soil. "I haven't really moved my body for a long, long time. I don't know. Can you catch up with the temporary warm-up?" Li Suman said to herself, the original laziness completely disappeared, replaced by seriousness and seriousness. Macquarie looked at these changes and made sure they were not what Li Suman was pretending to show to him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Li Suman has never been the kind of person who can figure out the situation. If she is willing, she would like everything to be done according to her own temperament.

The two walked out of the secret room, and after a few breaths, they went to the ground through a passage in the underground warehouse. There were some broken clouds in the dark blue sky, and the dim light fell, making this gloomy day no longer look so dull. The wind is very cold and it should not belong to the end of summer at all.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and eaves somewhat intensified the feeling of tranquility. After walking a few dozen meters, Lisuman and Magri separated at an intersection.

"Destroying something shouldn't be a big problem, right?" The two of them were each heading in the same direction. After taking a few steps, Li Suman turned her head and asked.

"Well..." Macquarie couldn't think of a suitable adjective for the degree. "Actually, you can talk to the other party first. If it doesn't work, destroying some buildings is unavoidable. But try to do as little as possible."
