Steel steam and flame

"It seems that's right." Trismosin thought about how to answer, and said intermittently for a while, "Not so good. The appearance of the saint in our eyes is a symbol, she is a very good-tempered and peaceful person. Man. Miss Hippo, if you have actually met the Saint, you will definitely be more impressed."

"It's better than very good. It completely matches the title of 'Saint' and even exceeds it." Hippo gave a definite answer and a clear explanation.

"That's it. Occasionally, when my thoughts disperse..." Trismosin felt that he had been stationed at the entrance and exit of the underground world for a long time. When he returned to the normal world and had conversations that needed to be discussed with people, he had already Somewhat uncomfortable. It's because you don't know how to speak appropriately, and to express your meaning completely and correctly without being misinterpreted.

"Miss Xiba, you can think of it as my random thinking sometimes, that's all." He continued, his tone suddenly serious, "I wonder if there is such a possibility, if the saint's current appearance is like a If this appearance is a performance that has been integrated into her body, what will be the result?"

"Performance?"

"I know what you want to say." Xipo, who reacted immediately, replied in a very fast tone, "Before I answer you, please understand one thing. You are definitely not special, Trismosin. What do you mean? You are never the only one who has random thoughts. In fact, there are many, many more people who have much deeper conjectures about the Saint than you."

",,,,,,,"

"These are all facts. You'd better adapt to it immediately. You who are stationed at the entrance and exit of the underground world may not know some things about the saint. To briefly summarize, after the Holy See announced Miss Doris as the Holy See, she and She had conflicts or targeted people, but no one got a good result. As far as I know, one of the monsters on the list also died, or they were killed by the saint herself."

"But that incident seemed very strange, because what killed this monster on the list was a clip-type pistol that can be seen everywhere, and a bullet hit his head. And the battle venue was said to have been searched for a long time. In the end, only one bullet casing was found. That bullet casing was the only trace."

"It's a pity that I can't send you the specific information now. It would take a long time to tell you about it in the communication."

"I will tell you directly the results of my personal judgment. As for how you think about it later, it is your personal matter." Xipo used the same serious tone to make the conversation formal, "Your random thinking actually has a huge impact. The possibility is real. But you're getting the nature of the matter wrong."

"The saint's peace is not a performance, but she is like this. However, what you just wanted to say is probably that the reason why the saint is a saint has never been because she is a symbol, has a good temper and is peaceful. She became a saint, right? It’s because she has great strength and is the first on the list of candidates for the power of the Knight King class, so she became a saint. As for why everyone has a peaceful impression of her, this may be the reason for the Holy See It’s just a choice of direction for publicity.”

"I will definitely not forget that while the Saint is a Saint, she is actually a real and powerful monster. And your idea is not wrong. Here, my answer is that the amiable impression is just an appearance of the Saint. . And the other appearance of the saint is most likely what you imagined."

Trismosin took some time to digest the information, "Maybe there is no need to show another appearance."

Xipo agreed with this statement, "The position of the saint is watched by many people. If the saint herself has no strength or thinking, why do you think Miss Doris should become a saint? That's the truth. After all, peace The saintly girl is liked by many, many people. Since everyone likes her, it is also a very good choice to use this appearance to cover up the other side of herself and make her opponents lower their vigilance, right?"

Nodding to himself, Trismosin thought clearly, then brought the topic back to the beginning and asked: "Since the saint knows these things, we use her to block trouble, instead of telling her explicitly, we are taking advantage of her. Her?"

Xipo, who was speechless for a while, sighed: "It's because she knows exactly what we are doing that we can use her to ward off trouble when it arises. Because she knows her identity as a saint, such a monster with an association causes She is responsible for the danger and will help us to block it. There is no reason for this. If we cause the trouble ourselves and you want to ask the saint for help, you will find out what is really going on. It’s very useful to have peace and a deep understanding of the impression that the Saint left on most people.”

"In short, we are not the ones who carry out the operation, and we are not the ones who come into contact with danger. But if there are benefits, we will definitely be there. As for the trouble that cannot be solved later, you know that the saint can help us." Xibo chose If she didn't explain it carefully, she was afraid that Trismosin would become even more incomprehensible.

",,," Trismosin chose to think, and then he sighed, "Count me in."

"The 'Tavern' was formed by the Steam Knights you originally established." In the hotel room, Sisia opened her eyes on the chair against the wall. There is no need to use perception to detect the movement in the next room. "Will you follow them back to the empire?"

"Although you said that luck accounts for most of the factor, the actual reason is that I have not fully adapted to the new body. My mental perception detected the enemy approaching in advance and responded immediately, but this body did not Without my absolute control and suppression, there will naturally be signals that can be detected by the other party." Cassia explained, "From his subsequent actions and the intelligence collected, it shows that the other party does not have the initiative and does not want to take the initiative. Soaked in trouble.”

"But this was definitely not his original idea. It was just because I took the initiative to enhance my perception afterwards, indicating that I was by the side and it was best for everyone not to make any move. If he sensed that you were the only one in the limo, that would be another situation. It worked out.”

"Besides, just because he doesn't want to get into trouble doesn't mean that the Theocracy or other people from the Association are not interested. Now that it's clear that the 'tavern' is related to the steel security company and the Steam Knights, I will It’s even more impossible to leave directly.”

"However, the same as your review stage, the next journey is my review stage." Cassia smiled and closed the book she was reading, "But to prepare you to return to the Flame Alliance, it's not that I don't want to take you with me. After practicing more things, but coming into contact with this enemy, I realized that the monsters of the Theocracy and the Association are indeed very powerful."

"Didn't you say that he is not powerful? You just said that once yesterday." Sisia retorted.

"That's for me." Cassia continued, "But for you, he is not the Alliance monster during your exam. What I am worried about is not whether I can kill him smoothly, but when I am really in the middle of a battle. , in a battle of this intensity, I cannot completely guarantee your safety."

"Where's Mr. Zero?"

"In the case of No. 0..." Cassia thought for a while and gave the data, "I myself... should have about an 80% chance of ensuring your safety. In his words, minus 67% Well, that's more or less it. The transition period for Zero to the fourth stage only needs time to pass naturally. What he is doing now is just accelerating this process. "

"In short, if Zero cooperates with me again, if there is a chance, I can let you experience the feeling of having this kind of monster as your examiner."

"I've graduated!"
