Steel steam and flame

"Alas..." After a while, Perkinz sighed, "It's really troublesome. It would be better to wake up a few years later, even if it would be more dangerous then and there would be no way to prepare. But it took a long time to sleep. , but I really fell in love with that feeling. Everything has nothing to do with me. If you close your eyes and then open them, the world will look completely different."

After picking up the cup and drinking the boiled water, he leaned on the sofa and looked out the window, his posture frozen for a moment.

"We no longer belong to this era. But only until the last moment can we evaluate whether the original choice of cheating time was good or bad. Now, I still like this world that is about to undergo huge changes."

"Mr. Zero, the adjutant told me that he asked me to come to you alone before departure." Ovelia found that the door was not closed and opened a gap. As she opened the door, she explained her purpose.

When looking into the room, No. 0 was standing in front of the bookshelf against the wall, holding a book in his hand that was roughly four fingers thick and covered with a green copper cover. The four words "Self-Argument" in the book's title were polished. Now, the delicate brass color of the flashing cartridge cases.

Zero made a gesture of invitation. When he sat down, he also asked Ovelia, who had opened the door, to sit on the chair in front of the desk: "I said it. After the conversation with Mr. Kebro a few days ago, the adjutant said you If you are busy with other things, just ask him to remind you about it."

"I thought there was no more information about this investigation team composed of members from various places. But Mr. Burrow and I had a good discussion, and the content and purpose of the investigation team were fully understood. It sounds and looks like It is indeed very dangerous to go up there. It is extremely difficult to track and search for clues about a mysterious and powerful monster that Mr. Ficino does not want to get involved with. But only for searching, the first criterion for the team is to feel If you retreat immediately when there is danger, it won't seem so scary." Facing No. Zero, even though he couldn't feel any pressure from No. Zero, psychologically, Ovelia was naturally at a disadvantage.

After all, Number Zero is one of the reasons why I can stand here today as one of the thirty-six knight attendants of the empire, if not the main reason.

"I understand how you want to build a good relationship with him. But you don't understand it very well, and you don't understand what danger is. But Mr. Burrow is not a bad person, but at the same time, he is not a good person either. This is me I hope you can clearly understand this." Zero spoke directly, casually pushing "Self-Argument" to Ovelia, "Because Mr. Kebro and I can be regarded as allies, so some Things can’t be explained to you sentence by sentence.”

Ovelia stood up slightly and took the book, feeling its heavy weight. She read the names of the books carefully and wondered whether Zero was implying something. She was about to open the book when she was stopped in advance by Zero.

"It's not a gift. You don't need to open it, and you can't open it." Zero looked a little serious at this time, "According to many books, if you are not favored by the goddess of luck, you can meet someone who can open it. person. At that time, it was this "Self-Argument" that allowed you to continue living."

"However, I personally hope that you will meet someone who can open it." Zero added, completely ignoring the increasing doubts directly shown on Ovelia's face, "Because your body is in the laboratory It has been in the culture jar for a long time and has some characteristics of the experimental subject. I want to use my throat to send out a few simple sound wave pulses. Is this possible? "

After No. 0 finished speaking, he immediately pursed his lips. There was only a slight tremor in his throat, and no pattern could be observed for a while. Ovelia felt that the No. 0 in front of her was not the one she knew at all, so she immediately changed her mood, took it seriously, and observed it carefully.

"Don't worry, there are still a few hours before you set off." Zero said at this time, "This is the time for you to learn this frequency. I think with your talent, it is not difficult."

"Mr. Zero, can I..." Ovelia interrupted, "I don't understand..."

Number Zero smiled symbolically: "No, I just said that because of my relationship with Mr. Kebro, I can't speak clearly. In addition, this book is also good, this sound wave you are about to learn No matter the frequency, only you and I know."

"This is for your safety." Zero gave an explanation, "You can think of it as having been recognized by others over the past few years, so in places you don't know, you have been helped because of this recognition. "

"Is it about the investigation team?" Ovelia said solemnly, "Even Mr. Cobra, Mr. Ficino, and the saints of the Theocracy will participate, and this time it will not only be me, but also the Flame Alliance who will form the team. Are there dangers to the elite members of the Far Sea Commonwealth?"

Seeing that No. 0 didn't answer, the doubts that existed in Ovelia's mind after discussing with Kebro a few days ago filled Ovelia's head again. The Zero in front of her obviously knew more information, but she knew that she was not qualified to know.

"I understand, Mr. Zero." Ovelia let her thoughts run. While thinking, she followed Zero to learn the sound wave frequency that she still didn't understand the meaning of.

The study ended three hours later. Ovelia drank the warm water handed over by Zero to relieve the dryness in her throat, and then politely thanked her.

"It will take some time for you to know exactly who you should thank." Zero said, "This book should be carried with you at all times, like a portable weapon. In addition, the sound wave frequency you have written down must be When you sense danger, or when your intuition tells you there is danger, you should use it immediately. This is absolutely important to remember. And it doesn’t have to be used only once.”

"Anyway, for some reason, someone helped you, but that person was not me. Just know that." Zero added, "Besides, please carry out the investigation team's mission carefully."

"Well...Miss Ovelia."

Ovelia nodded solemnly, waiting for Zero's next words.

"Whether you arrived in the small country early and asked about the investigation team, or the importance you have shown to this team in the past few days, I can probably understand that you want to take this opportunity to deepen your relationship with Cobro, Ficino or It’s the connection with the Saint of the Vatican, and I hope to get cooperation in the future. But I only want to comment on Mr. Cobrow. I still want to repeat what I just said. He is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person."

"In the end, both you and I have only one life. Therefore, after the investigation team starts taking action, if they sense danger, or detect even a little bit of something wrong, and take the initiative to send out that sound wave pulse, they may be able to help unconsciously. What are you doing?"

"I will pay special attention to it, thank you Mr. Zero."

Soon after, when the adjutant's voice informing him that Ovelia had set off reached Zero's ears, he replied, "I understand." After the adjutant left quietly, he took out the communicator and pressed the contact button.
