Steel steam and flame

After finishing dinner, everyone did not return to the hotel immediately. They separated and chose to go around the city.

The weather meant that there were not many people on the streets, but street lights and evergreen landscape trees remained. Occasionally, a pedestrian would wrap himself up tightly, revealing only a pair of lifeless eyes, and walk silently.

Xicia had something on her mind and thought about it to herself without saying anything. Observed Cassia will neither inquire nor comfort. Now, in addition to using his mental body to analyze the development of various abilities, he has another problem of how to reveal his identity to Xixia.

He tried to think as hard as he could, but found that it was much more difficult than, say, the ability to analyze. To be a good person, you need to pay a price.

On the other side, Perkins walked around a few streets and found Hilary Riley.

"He would put forward such a plan, and his understanding of the small countries can be seen from the beginning. Before the Southern Forest incident, he was developing in a large number of small countries. There has been no movement in the past two years. It was all conceived before he entered the Southern Forest. A route. In this country and this city where we are staying now, there might be his men somewhere, and it’s not certain that we will wait quietly for orders."

Hilary, holding the newly bought clothes in her hand, answered after listening to what Perkins relayed.

"His performance in the southern forest has been described in detail several times. It was precisely because they had Ye Jielin as a bargaining chip that the Theocracy and the Nature Association could seize the only opportunity to guide him into the established trap."

"If you still can't understand, I can tell you this." Hilary paused her voice at this moment and glanced at Perkins seriously, "Now and for a long time to come, as long as Ye Jielin doesn't If it is dangerous, there is no way to deal with Cassia."

"In the past, only the Knight King of the Empire was able to withstand the pressure of the two super countries, but now you appear. From various sources, it can be seen that the winner of the Southern Forest Incident is not only the third general you call. Holy Several Holy Fathers died in the Imperial Palace, and this deterrent effect made the four forces in the empire become much quieter."

Perkinz takes a deep breath here to supply enough oxygen to his racing brain. After a brief thought, he nodded in agreement with Hillary's point of view: "In the Theocracy, only the third general will benefit. It will gain a body and get out of the extreme sea vortex in advance."

"However, the Holy Emperor's Hall, the Theocratic State, and the Nature Association have severely disrupted the erosion of the Later Phase Continent. There is also a vague tendency to promote the three giant countries of the Later Phase Continent to unite to fight against them."

"Why not say that some forces have secretly contacted and formed an alliance?" Hillary asked, "The empire, the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, the power of many families among them is concentrated in a group of people who want to obtain 'eternal life' or 'eternal life'. In order to achieve the goal, these old people's performance will not be worse than the Holy Fathers of the Holy Emperor Hall."

"But after all, these family forces have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their own internal education system has indeed cultivated generations of successors, making the barriers strong and allowing the family to survive to this day..."

Perkinz interrupted Hilary Lee here: "The purpose of cultivating people is to continue the family. When someone wants to destroy it, even if it is one's own tribe, this is really..."

There was an inexplicable radiance on his face, and he sighed and said, "Why does it feel the same as what I did before?"

"It's not that I'm the same as you, but there are people like this in every era. You're just one of them, and they just live longer." Hilary did not follow Perkinz's idea and said complimentary words later.

She then picked up the previous topic: "As long as Ye Jielin is not involved, Cassia will not take risks if she is not sure. We are all in his calculations. But I am very surprised that Li Suman is also an acquaintance of his. In Behind this information, I wonder if you see a vague web of involvement?"

"This is the fatal flaw of the three large countries on the Queen's Continent." Perkins followed her words and said, "Without top power, ordinary people can rule for a long time. Surgeons are not included. One of the reasons why the Theocracy and the Natural Society found the third general to cooperate is that the simple and direct effect of borrowing power and complete concentration of power for a long time is one of them."

That gave Perkinz something to think about. He knew that Hillary wanted to say that the continent was actually full of problems. Under the seemingly stable rule, the foundation was still intact without a single crack. But the gorgeous building built on the foundation is full of holes and is crumbling.

This time the strong wind brought by the arrival of the red star can blow it down.

The two were walking side by side. The hotel was at the corner of the street, and you could see the bright colorful sign.

"Don't forget the influence on Sissia. The age difference between Lena and Silla is just the same as hers, and they are also Kassia's friends. The words from their mouths can have an effect. I will do it for Korkva."

"I want to know quickly what Cassia will look like after this, and what kind of story it will bring."

,,,,,,

General Pullman stood on the street opposite the hotel with a bag full of fashion magazines, his eyes dull. Adolf was next to him, with the same expression, but the difference was that he was holding pieces of clothing in his hands.

At this moment, the two of them are like half-brothers, entering the darkest period of their lives together, experiencing helplessness. There are many words in my heart, but no one dares to really say them out, at least now.

"Stand still for a while." General Pullman stared at the hotel. The waiter with a professional smile behind the internal counter was warmly welcoming the guests. In his eyes, and also in Adolf's eyes, that smile seemed to be the biggest mockery of them.

"Stand for a while." Adolf agreed very much. "It's nice outside, there is no sunshine, only cold wind and dry air, unlike in the hotel, where there is warm light and a heater that makes people want to sleep. It makes no sense at all."

"Yes..." General Pullman nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much.

A few minutes later, the two of them felt eyes on them, but neither of them raised their heads. They were struggling in their hearts, but they still took steps towards the hotel with difficulty.

"Are you... lost?" In a luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel, Li Suman was surprised and took out the magazines and clothes they brought back one by one with great interest and placed them on the table and sofa. , "I've been back for half an hour."

General Pullman and Adolf showed absolute tacit understanding at this time, saying almost at the same time: "For various reasons, because..."

"Well..." Li Suman's thoughts were all on magazines and clothes, and she didn't think much about it. Seeing this, the two people immediately stepped back and left, going to the edge of the living room of the suite, enjoying the heating and lighting that made their bodies comfortable but not their mood.

It took a while, more than half an hour to be precise. In the senses of General Pullman and Adolf, it was just a moment.

Li Suman's voice entered their heads "dong dong", and the mood that they finally immersed in was broken into pieces like glass: "Those people who are observing us are still there? How many days have they been?"

The dull eyes of the two regained a little light, and they replied without energy: "It has been more than ten days. Why don't we go to the border of the empire? We have all been caught, and someone will come directly to us soon."

Lisuman looked over, confused and surprised: "In the beginning, didn't you all want to go to the empire's frontier?"

"For various reasons, I want to go again now. You can leave this afternoon. You can buy airship tickets at any time."

"I, too, agree with Mr. Trevicorn's proposal."

Li Suman flipped through the magazine and shook her head slowly: "Wait a minute, I don't want to go. We are very interested in these people who are observing us. Wouldn't it be better for the enemy to find them themselves? Running around will be very tiring. Don't forget yourselves. original intention.”

"I wonder who will come here in person?" Li Suman said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to it, just like the next issue of the magazine."

General Pullman and Adolf sighed inwardly at the same time, closed their eyes again, and their breathing seemed to stop at this moment. Although none of the three people in the room needed to breathe.
