Steel steam and flame

"Miss Shake." After taking a look at Perkins, Cassia turned her eyes to Shake and said hello with a smile. The corresponding language had already been organized in her head, "The long and hard work is finally over. , I thought I had nowhere to go, so I came back to Manoma. The house has been empty for a long time, and I always need to come back to clean it. The weather has been very bad recently, and if you keep forgetting to close the windows, it will be a huge trouble. "

"After a few years, she has become more and more like a researcher, Miss Shaco. The unique confidence of professionals!" Cassia did not forget to add, after looking at Shaco as a researcher, her mind was already the same as before. After comparing his memories with the other students he met when he came here, he came up with differences.

Shaco just smiled happily, wanting to say something, but didn't speak for a while.

"There's a cafe out front, and there's heating inside." Pekinz interjected, and a big breath of hot breath went under the open umbrella above his head and condensed into a layer of frost. "It's not a good idea to block the entrance to the library. ." He waved the borrowed books in his hands, reminding him of the time and location at this moment.

Cassia turned around, and the three of them each held an umbrella, walked down the steps, and walked towards the campus cafe with warm lights in front. It was also at this time that Shaco, who had regained her composure, slightly raised the umbrella so that she could see Cassia's face clearly in the dim light under the umbrella.

In Shaco's impression, either the face had undergone drastic changes in appearance, or it would have been completely blurred. Many times, it will be a kind of intuition to detect who the other person is. Maybe when I realized who the other person was, I had already blurted out the other person's name.

What he saw was indeed a patchwork of light and shadow. Shake didn't feel anything unnatural. The dim environment was no longer the same as it had been the past few days.

"Mr. Tussos, will you be leaving Manoma again soon?"

"Work is like this, it will never be finished. It ends in stages, and the vacation you get is only a few days." Cassia looked over and said, until this moment, Shaco could clearly see the face that was not hidden by the light and shadow. There is still no change, at least it is no different from how it looks in memory.

"Ah, by the way, this is Mr. Milius." Only then did he remember what he had forgotten. Shake quickly turned around and introduced Cassia to Pekinz, "I just met in school, Milius." Si asked me for directions and said he was going to borrow a book. He happened to be going to the library to look for corresponding materials, so we went there together."

"Mr. Milius is also a fan of "Strange Creatures" and has some interesting views on ancient creatures." As soon as the introduction was completed, Shaco looked at Cassia again and said happily, "You seem to know each other?" Judging from what Mr. Milius said just now?"

"Well, actually when I met Mr. Milius, I had an intuition that you might recognize. Isn't it a magical feeling? Later, when I talked about some historical things with Mr. Milius, I became even more sure that it would be That’s it!” Sha laughed, as if showing off his magical ability.

She raised the book she was holding in her other hand, "The Evolution of Life." Mr. Milius saw me holding this book and said that the author's views were not imaginative enough. Just like Mr. Tussos, you used to The same evaluation as before, you can’t imagine something you haven’t seen before, that’s what you said back then.”

"It's because of work, whether it's evaluation or getting to know Mr. Milius." Cassia nodded to confirm Shako's inquiry.

The three of them went to the coffee shop at this time. The warm air hit their whole bodies when they entered, and the cold was indeed blocked by the thick glass door. Shake breathed a sigh of relief and took off her scarf. Perkinz went to the table first, choosing what he wanted to drink, while Cassia looked at the weak wooden sofa and shook her head.

After finding a quiet spot in the corner, Cassia answered and said, "I met Mr. Milius in a forest with few people. The nature of our work requires us to go to such places to collect information. , deal with some potential troubles, etc.”

"The work is roughly similar. In fact, it's not a bad idea to call it the same. Mr. Tussos and I just have different divisions of labor." The two of them naturally explained themselves consistently without any discussion. They read many, many books. Moments like this are verification. This is one of the results of the scene. "In places with few people, there will be more dilapidated ruins and unusual creatures. After being in contact for a long time, more and more people will be interested."

"The main thing is that there are words and symbols engraved on it, and occasionally I can see a few pages of notes from other deceased people. Once or twice, I don't care, but when the number of times increases, I always want to understand what is written on it and record it. What are you looking for? For living things, it's even simpler. In addition to curiosity, if you encounter them in the wild, more information can ensure your own safety." Cassia then added, "I met Mr. Milius in such an environment. Down."

"No wonder Mr. Tussos can always tell a lot of things that are not in books." Shako's face was full of curiosity and he also praised, "But it is also a dangerous job..." The voice became softer, and Shako I can only express regret, but I can't change anything.

"In fact, it is not dangerous, but each work target takes a long time. Usually in the wild, I also carry some cold weapons, mainly weapons such as swords for self-defense, or for chopping down trees. We all have firearms qualification certificates. When encountering wild animals, we can also use shotguns or that old-fashioned revolver to protect our own safety." Cassia said with a sense of ease, as if to say one more thing Little things.

But there was a sound of coughing from the side. When Perkinz saw two eyes on him, he quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin, "The coffee tastes good, but it's a bit hot."

After taking a soothing breath, Perkinz said, "We don't act alone. Most of the time, we work together as a team, and we have good logistics supplies. So don't worry. Mr. Tussos is there. The company is also well-known in the industry, and its safety guarantee is definitely above the level.”

Shake felt a little more relieved now. She had no idea what she could do to help Cassia. As if he suddenly remembered something, Shako suddenly spoke, full of surprise and said, "By the way, Mr. Tussos, Mr. Milius just told me that he often sees the author of "Strange Creatures" in his dreams. , that Mr. Perkinz Chilis came. Mr. Milius told me that Perkinz Chilis said in his dream that the book was actually not finished yet, and that there was still an extra chapter, which was very regrettable. , has not been released.”

",,," Cassia was speechless, but in Perkins style.

Once we talk about things about him, especially the books he wrote, and after thousands of years, when he meets someone like Shako who is interested in these books, even Perkins will become a person full of good things. Mood people.
