Steel steam and flame

"Mr. Hai, what do you mean, this might be a trap?" Cassia, who heard something was wrong, asked, "Then when you contacted this person who entered the site in advance, were the traces already exposed?"

"Mr. Cassia, the collection and expansion of intelligence is also a battlefield, and firearms still have a deterrent effect. When you have time, you can ask Ato Guando for details. I can assure you here that the only thing that is uncertain at the moment is this A string of composite radio frequencies. As for other issues, just think that I have completely solved them. In actual combat, I am far inferior to you, Mr. Cassia, but in this regard, our positions are reversed." He was very confident and his words sounded like explanations.

"I contacted Mr. Atohuan and got a special version of the interceptor from him, which can cut off all radio communication links when necessary. However, the danger still exists. If it is a trap, maybe when we adjust the composite frequency, the other party will Already starting to determine our actual location.”

"Analytical Engine Array, or Super Analytical Engine?" Cassia guessed and looked at the time - half past nine, the night was still very long for them.

"We will consider all levels of protection measures." When Hao said this, his voice became formal for the first time, and he discussed the current topic with Cassia seriously.

"Time and place." Cassia thought for a while and replied, "There are not many options for me, and I also believe that Mr. Hai, when you say these words, you must have gone through multiple thoughts and verifications."

Hai's laughter came from the communicator: "Mr. Cassia, your trust carries a weight that ordinary people cannot bear." As he said that, Hai told the time and specific location. Cassia compared it with the map in his mind and quickly calculated his own past time.

"Looking forward to meeting in an hour and a half, Mr. Cassia." Hai finally said.

After directly contacting Atuohuan, and after he confirmed that Hai had indeed taken a special machine from him today, Cassia briefly mentioned his conversation with Hai and the corresponding information to Hessler, and Hua Hua After getting ready for about ten minutes, we set off in a limousine.

The limousine stopped halfway, and Cassia walked over half the distance behind. The location was chosen in the absolute center of Manoma. Far away, Cassia could see the Empire Victory Building, which he had visited once, and the lights flowing from it were even more dazzling than four years ago.

The closer we get to the central area, the traffic flow and pedestrians on the streets are still gradually increasing at 10:30 at night. Cassia couldn't remember whether she had truly wandered around the center leisurely since arriving in Manoma. Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no memory of this. During the military school period, there were only tasks and constant training. As for going out, the route was simply from the school to the train station, without any deviation in the middle.

After living in a small country for nearly two years, he was once again exposed to the steel jungle of the empire. The gap between the two was definitely not something that could be created by time. The ground next to me was always damp at the end of summer due to the steam emitted by the limousine. Obviously the Blanco Mountains are classified within the Manoma region, but the cold and coolness there are not even the same.

The road is almost lined with shops of all kinds, and the light from the colorful lamps on the billboards dyes the faces of pedestrians with a mixture of complex colors. The products decorated with lights behind the glass windows were very dazzling, and Cassia couldn't recognize many of them. The only thing that was certain was the high price written in beautiful fonts below.

Occasionally, Cassia would slow down and compare the difference between her own clothes and the clothes behind the display window. Only then did Cassia finally realize that the summer clothes she was wearing at the moment did not seem to be random bargains, but had been carefully selected and matched.

"Suddenly I understand how Delya feels." Cassia whispered to herself softly, "But there are some things that cannot be left to Delya and Waters. The risk factor can kill them at any time."

Cassia's keen sense of smell allowed Cassia to smell all kinds of smells on pedestrians. Cheap and high-end perfumes accounted for most of them. The prosperity of Manoma is not only reflected in the average wealth here, but also in the number and quality of noble families. Perhaps some of the pedestrians walking by were members of the viscount or earl family. There are not many marquis and duke families, but the chance of meeting them is still high in Manoma.

However, travelers from various parts of the empire who had the ability and financial resources to travel long distances also accounted for a large base of Manoma's real-time personnel. As the capital of the empire, the number of tourists from other regions has been increasing.

When the square in front of the Victory Building came into view, Cassia turned naturally and continued to move forward along the street with the crowd. There is a large area nearby, and there is almost no concept of night. When the rectangular-shaped building of the Imperial Parliament can be fully captured by the eyes, the statues bathed in yellowish light on both sides of its gate naturally remind Cassia of himself in the small town. This was one of the places he longed to visit at that time.

There are many statues, and they will continue to increase over time. They are evenly distributed at equal points in a circle surrounding the Reichstag building. Starting from the main entrance of the building, the first statue on the left is of the founding king of the empire, Arthur Astus, and the first statue on the right is of the founding emperor of the empire, Elro Astus. After the two, there are, in order, the first and second generation knight kings of the empire, the first generation heads of the grand duke family and the prince family, researchers who have made great contributions in history, and some marshals of the military.

This is an attraction. Every statue was made by the best artist of that era. No matter day or night, there will always be a large number of people taking pictures or paying homage here.

According to the route given by Hao, Cassia walked in a small semicircle around the Imperial Parliament Building, walked out of the pedestrian street, and got into a limousine stopped by the road.

"Mr. Cassia, do those statues make you think anything in your heart?" The driver had already got out of the car, and there were only two people in the limo, Hai and Cassia. "Every time I come here, I always go and take a look."

"I don't know what to think. According to the book, a thousand years is enough to wash away everything they left in the empire." Cassia replied, "If their tombs still exist, we can only hope that they will not get rid of them from the tombs." Climb out. I know that history, and the current empire is definitely not what they want it to be."

With a chuckle, the topic was cut off and was not continued.

"The choice is yours, Mr. Cassia." Kai looked over and said, "Ten contact changes were made in the middle. Even if it is a trap, the other party has to go through ten defensive walls to track it down. This place is also It falls within the scope of the Imperial Council, and if the other party wants to take any action, it needs to consider a lot of things."

Cassia took the communicator from Hai's hand, glanced at Hai, adjusted the frequency and pressed the connect button.
