Steel steam and flame

Snow clouds have been lying across the sky for several days, and the snow really starts to fall in the afternoon. There are ice particles several times the size of salt particles mixed in, which hit the skin and make it itch.

Outside the window, you can see a street lined with evergreen trees like guards. When a few snowflakes fall, some people come to the street to pick up the snowflakes and play with them like children. The snow has become heavy at this moment, and all kinds of pedestrians on the street have also reached the top. There is a lot of people's voices, and it is a very lively scene.

"This place is on the edge of the area affected by the central current zone. It is the first choice for many people to avoid the cold in winter. If you want a snowfall, it may be a luxury." In the room, several people were sitting around the floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The people were looking out the windows and chatting.

"In the next few years, there will be more similar phenomena. More than a month ago, the area near the endless seashore encountered a cold wave that had not been seen in decades of history. The temperature was comparable to the tops of those snow-capped mountains. It was still the steam from the Alliance Industrial Institute The tower withstood the test without causing serious damage."

"After all, it's not that far away. At this time, the Nature Association and the Theocratic State are both taking action, and it goes without saying that the actions of the Alliance and the Far Sea Common State are natural. If you don't follow up on the latest news, you feel like you have been left behind for several months. The recent situation The changes are rapid.”

"It is indeed very fast, especially after the people of the Nature Association came to the alliance, many balances were also broken. And there will be two nodes coming soon. One is the border of the Saint Dorag Empire and several small countries. The conflict has escalated, and the alliance will send some people there. It may become a source of business, so you can be prepared accordingly."

"Secondly, a group of top members of the Nature Association will arrive in the alliance in a few months. Are you ready for the impact?" A man spoke at this time. Seeing that the others were not interested, he changed the topic, " On the other hand, let’s talk about ourselves. As far as I know, not only the area under my jurisdiction, but also everyone, seems to be quiet in terms of transactions recently. Each has its own different things happening, and many personnel have been expelled. "

Just as the man spoke, the remaining seven people in the room looked over, with different meanings in their gazes.

But the man didn't pay attention, and continued: "We all have the same identity, so there is no need for this. What I mean is, do you need to be a little quieter recently? Why are some members of the trafficking network being eliminated? Isn’t the reason entirely because the target person did not undergo detailed prior investigation and did not undergo a complete assessment in accordance with the process?”

"Your Excellency has entrusted us with the management of this network and divided it into regions. I think everyone can just do their own part." Someone said with a smile.

The man looked over and smiled back: "Mr. Loulton, I remember that in the area where you are, three subordinate members died one after another in one year, and the compensation to the buyer was also quite large. According to the report, All your explanations are due to personal grudges, is that true?"

"Mr. Aiqi, what do you mean?" Lorno's tone turned cold.

"I just met with your Excellency yesterday, and he specifically reminded me that quietness and stability are needed in the near future. The sacrificial ceremony has changed the alliance internally enough, and recently, personnel from the two super countries have entered the Later Phase Continent one after another. Their The influence is definitely above the ceremony. This is what my lord means. If Mr. Lorton has any questions, you can ask your lord in person at the reception a week later."

"I wonder if my explanation suits your taste?" Aiqi still smiled. Seeing that Rolton stopped talking, he turned his head and looked at the end of the crowd sitting around the fireplace - that was a slightly quiet man with a faint smile on his face.

"Mr. Anome," Aiqi said to the man, "I wonder if there is anything you need me to say to the adults at this simple party?"

The quiet man looked at Aiqi with a puzzled expression on his face, but said nothing.

"It's your exact words." Aiqi continued, "The sacrificial ceremony did change a lot of things. It allowed some people to be favored by the tribe and became the core and focus. It also caused the status of many top members before the ceremony to decline. They are no longer the only ones in the tribe. But don’t forget about them just because they have been silent in the past two years and there is no more new news. They are still extremely dangerous people, and they are very good in terms of accumulation. Stronger than the so-called 'monsters' after many rituals."

After Aiqi finished speaking, he looked around at the people sitting around the fireplace: "I am the only one who has remained here since six years ago. I must have been the only one who experienced that cleanup. You don't want this to happen again. If this happens, If there are any signs, Your Excellency said that he will definitely resolve them internally in advance."

After finishing speaking, Aiqi looked at Anomei: "A few days ago, the secondary personnel in your area disappeared out of thin air, and nearly 300 related people were also taken with them. This is not a small matter. It is very possible It was someone from the Flame Tribe or the Thunder Wolf Tribe who took action. Your Excellency does not want to see any further development of this matter. It was cut off at this point, and all clues were disconnected at the secondary personnel. The buyer's compensation is in accordance with The conditions above the agreement will be carried out, and I hope to see such a result!"

"And, the subsequent investigation will end immediately after this party! Now that you already know some of the investigation results, you should understand the meaning of these results through simple analysis - that is not something ordinary forces and teams can do Beautiful work. Your Majesty did give us more confidence, but your Majesty also said that he doesn’t want to create more troubles and enemies out of thin air!”

"I understand, Mr. Aiqi." Seeing Aiqi's dissatisfied face, Anomi smiled and nodded.

In front of the mirror in the cabinet in the room, Sicia took off her clothes and used scissors to remove the bloody bandages all over her body one by one. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the skin cracks caused by the so-called preparations of the second personality had almost healed, and only some red marks remained.

Putting the bloody bandage aside, Sisia stood sideways in front of the mirror. She noticed the unusually protruding chest area, so she used her hands to support it. In addition to being soft, she did feel a decent weight. Her hair hangs down, dozens of centimeters above her shoulders, reflecting little bits of light under the light. After sorting it out with her hands, Xixia remembered what the second personality said after finishing the special training.

"Strange people can control the growth of their bodies, and they need to lose weight in some places. It will not be a burden in normal times, but in some situations, it will become a failure and fatal factor. In addition, you don't have long hair to fight now. Qualification, even if it is tied up, it will not work. If you are sure that you will not rely on your hair as an offensive method during a battle, cutting it short will be the best choice."
