Steel steam and flame

"I don't care. If you are caught by the people from the Holy Emperor's Hall later, you may be able to help me transmit disturbing information." The man's answer was indifferent. He knew what the young lady was worried about. It was also the thought that suddenly flashed through his mind that stopped him in his tracks, "You reminded me of another thing. Since you are not in a hurry to leave, please answer a few more questions from me. As a reward , I can give you something as a gift.”

The man put down his backpack and took out several small bottles of medicine: "The medicine collected from those in the Holy Emperor's Hall can eliminate the smell for a period of time. This should be very important to you."

"Excuse me, what's the problem?" Feniya was very careful. The high-frequency sound waves disappeared from her perception, and her mood relaxed a little.

"It's very simple. You are the first person I have encountered who has the ability to surgically develop sound wave pulses. This type of ability has only been seen on type II creatures before. According to your experience, surgeons with this ability how many?"

Fenya thought back quickly: "I am a mercenary, and I have encountered at least close to ten thousand surgeons. Let's assume that the base number is ten thousand, but I am the only one who can use sonic pulses. In addition, among these ten thousand people, , there are definitely no more than a hundred people who have undergone temperature sensing surgery. I think it is acceptable for only about fifty people. I don’t know who you are, sir, and what the circle you live in is like, but just Our mercenary’s environment, temperature sensing and front-end heat-resistant surgical development capabilities on both hands using pneumatic weapons can both be regarded as top development capabilities.”

"Most of the surgical developments either kink the muscles or accelerate muscle proliferation. Surgical developments related to perception require huge prices, and various matching drugs are difficult to buy." Gardner interjected, as Captain, he knows much more about this than Fenia. He also wanted to go through the experience to make the man feel more satisfied and increase his chances of survival. "Even the development of bone enhancement surgeries, due to the limited corresponding pharmaceutical resources, very few people have completed the first stage. Many resources are Being controlled, without channels and connections, and not working for the powerful nobles, they can only go to the dark world to wait for opportunities. But such opportunities are rare, and those who get the inside information first take most of them. If people who made reservations in advance take some of it away, it’s completely unknown whether there will be some left over.”

"So it turns out that these things are in such short supply?" The man thought thoughtfully. He thought of his own power. It seemed that there had never been a shortage of these resources. He thought that as long as he had enough money, he could obtain them. "Can it be understood this way? , in the black market and the bounty system all over the empire, are the famous or powerful mercenary teams and bounty hunters more or less related to certain nobles?"

"It's not more or less, but it definitely matters. Things in the dark world are very expensive. Regardless of whether the money is enough, even if the funds in hand are sufficient, most people from the top down will not be able to get their turn."

The man nodded and put the bottles of potion in his hand at his feet: "I'll hurry up without delaying you." As he said that, he suddenly increased his speed and ran forward, quickly disappearing from the three people's perception range.

A minute later, after Feniya confirmed again and again that the man had indeed left and there were no other abnormalities around her, she let out a heavy breath. Gardner and the other person also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. The three of them immediately picked up their weapons and equipment and stood beside the bottles of potions that the man had put down.

"Are there other biological poisons attached to the bottle?" Among the three, the man who had been in prison for seven years just opened his mouth. Feniya had already picked up a bottle, uncorked it, and sprinkled the medicine on herself.

"He doesn't need to use such means to kill us, it's pointless." Feniya said, "If you don't use it, I will put it all away." Seeing this, the man quickly waved his hand and poured a bottle. On oneself.

"Then what's next..." Fenia looked at Gardner, waiting for his judgment.

"Do as he says. Being able to advance here alone is a strength that we cannot compare with. You have also seen his weapons and equipment. They are all cold weapons. In close combat with the second-type creatures, there is no I won't do it until I run out of bullets." Gardner turned his head, looked in the direction where the man disappeared, and sighed, "We don't dare think that the other party would prey on the people of the Holy Emperor's Hall."

"Then captain, why do you think he let us go instead of...?"

"It's related to the time in prison. It's easy to think of it. There can be no other reasons. A time point between three and five years is the limit. Beyond this limit, it is possible to guess his identity? I think so. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be wearing a mask. It’s only been five years, and we don’t know what changes have taken place in the empire.”

"Let's find a way to get out of the forest alive first."

,,,,,,

After confirming the next actions of the three people behind him in the sound wave pulse, Cassia took off the mask, revealing a thinking face.

The three of them completed the information he needed. The first few groups of people cannot be regarded as not cooperating with his inquiry. It can only be said that there are more people with other ideas. In addition, the three people's voluntary surrender was completely unexpected by Cassia. He really did not expect this to happen. Just don't affect your own actions, just pass by and clean up a group of enemies.

"None of the three frigate-class airships have reached their destination. The information given by Hai yesterday was not an action commanded by him, nor was it from Chira Andi. It seems to be another person who entered the scene. If the identity can be known , it would be better to get in touch." After sorting out the information, Cassia had a rough understanding of what happened in the past few days.

Of course, the area of ​​greatest concern is the area where Cassie Hei is located. Using the information obtained from the last three people, Cassia determined what the abnormal aura she felt last night was. It was a feeling from dragons, brought about by dragons patrolling the sky around them.

"Kaxi Hei was nearby at that time. The reason why the Dragon Knight directly launched an attack with his breath was because he sensed threats around him. With the huge rocks,..., it can be inferred that Kasi Hei was digging a burrow. It has come a long way in terms of skills." I remembered that when I came here to find Cassie Hei, it had already learned to dig holes and hide under the ground. For a long time, it was unknown to what extent Cassie Hei had mastered this skill.

Cassia knew that Cassie Hei should be in a state of fear now. The dragon knight's breath comes from mid-air. For Cassie Hei, who has been attacked by airships since he was born, without him by his side, attacks from the sky will make him instinctively scared, not to mention that the opponent is also a dragon.

Another important message is that the Flame Alliance joined in this incident as Cassia and the others had guessed. Cassia also vaguely felt that the other party sent out dragon knights, probably to deal with him. Feniya and the other three only knew that the breath came from the dragon riders, but Cassia could basically judge based on the damage range of the breath they described and their injuries that the dragon riders attacking them would not be adults. The effective damage range that spreads out to three thousand meters is really not very large. But this probably has something to do with whether the opponent uses all his strength.

"The Flame Alliance is the Dragon Knight, and the Holy Emperor Hall is the Zero plus the experimental team, and there seems to be some powerful criminals. On the side of the Far Sea Commonwealth, will it be kinetic armor?" Cassia thought. He wasn't worried about these things at all because they weren't very threatening. The heads of Zero and the Experimental Subject were shortcomings, and the kinetic armor could not block the sharpness of the second-generation Holy Sword. As for the dragon knights of the Flame Alliance, after meeting Cassia Hei, Cassia believed that they would naturally have a way to deal with it. Domesticated dragon species in captivity are inherently inferior to wild species.
