Steel steam and flame

"It's not easy to find you." The fragments of the ancient historical World Tree in front of the two people were huge and charred, and there seemed to be a faint smell of burning in the air. In fact, it's just a visually induced sense of smell. The fragment has never changed, but at this moment, its heart-like rhythm accelerated several times, and a large crack opened on the charred surface, revealing a light yellow wood color.

In the blink of an eye, the wood-colored cracks turned orange. Stant and Lavia had a brief moment of feeling that the temperature in the basement instantly rose to a very terrifying level. The basis that supports this sense of touch is the rapidly declining danger perception signal in their bodies.

After all, the orange-red cracks only appeared for a very short period of time, so it might as well be considered as if they never appeared. The color of the wood inside has become quieter, but in the eyes of two contemporary six-stage life forms, its subtle changes will definitely not escape detection.

There is a faint dark green hidden in it, and the restrained breath of life in the huge fragments is the best evidence.

Stant and Lavia's thoughts were quickly mobilized. From the beginning of the plan, they had envisioned too many meeting scenarios. None of them came in handy. The contact scene at this moment was not what they expected.

"Mr. Stant, Miss Lavia, hello." Cassia expressed politeness in the fragments of the World Tree, "First of all, on behalf of Mr. Macquarie, I would like to say hello to you and express his surprise. But Miss Letitia's Friendly actions are ahead, we probably foresee that such a moment will come, but..."

"I just didn't expect it to be so fast?" Lavia interrupted Cassia, sighed and asked, "We are far ahead of Miss Letitia, and the time that has been delayed until now is not ours. Reason. You have participated in the battle against Solvasli, and you should know what troubles occurred along the way. This is our limit. After all, there are very, very few high-level surgeons who are not known and are not recorded. This time it is almost impossible. All of it is used for the safety of two ordinary people on their return journey."

"Thank you very much for your efforts."

"I don't think we need to have so many kind words between us." Stant interjected, "Now that Mr. Cassia is here, the blood reagent injected into your sister has been discovered. It does not pose any harm. Function, I think this is the premise for starting the conversation. It has been refined very accurately. Miss Lavia and I have tested it many times and can guarantee this."

"The remaining consciousness belonging to Miss Lavia, I think you can eliminate it directly, Mr. Cassia. Of course, this is just to make the remaining consciousness become a road sign to help you find us. This is helpless move, Mr. Cassia. The Third General has your body, and after the Popes have fully recovered, our actions and connections are restricted, and the connection established between us is inherently dangerous and cannot be allowed to happen. The general knows even a little bit of information."

"I specifically went to check the map of the entire Sanxiang Continent, took a long detour, and finally came here. Don't worry. In the root network, we are just users, and the third general cannot detect the movements of the entire network. "Kasia's words relaxed the atmosphere slightly. At least both sides are taking necessary measures and efforts to this end.

Stant showed an obviously relaxed posture, "This is what we are worried about. But you have promised that we will not talk about this anymore. Then let's get to the point. Let me introduce the current situation first."

Cassia hummed and listened carefully.

Stant looked slightly serious and lowered his voice: "The meeting on the Endless Sea has ended. Miss Letitia's communication has not yet arrived in our hands, but your arrival allows us to make sure that the meeting is a good result. , at least there is no conflict.”

"We don't want you to explain to us the specific content of the meeting. We know that it is only a matter of time and our curiosity about it can be suppressed. We want to use this to tell you and the alliance behind you that there are two premises here. Take note. First, Miss Lavia and I act completely independently of Miss Letitia and others, and they do not know the specific content of the plan. Second, our sincerity is the same as Miss Letitia and others. The goal is exactly the same, both to deal with the third general.”

"In the beginning, we were indeed enemies, an undeniable fact, but please forget it. Later, we will be cooperative allies, please remember."

Cassia cannot make a sound. There is no suitable biological tissue material here, and all words can only be conveyed at the level of spiritual perception, so Stant and Lavia can feel his sincerity and sincerity even more: "I can represent the alliance behind me. , but we can only guarantee one thing, in dealing with the third general, we will have a strong alliance with the same interests."

Stant smiled, "This is exactly what we want. Although it is not appropriate to say something at this time, we can assume that after the third general's matter is over, we can discuss and decide how to get along with each other. It’s definitely not too late.”

"That should be the consensus."

"Of course." Cassia replied, "Let's continue with the topic, Mr. Stant, we are all sincere."

So Stant did not hesitate and began to introduce the status of some current matters to Cassia in the order of the information that had been sorted out. It is not a long process and does not take long. The target is closely focused on the third general. As for other matters, they are not within the scope of what they want to consider for the time being.

"...The information will be shared later, so you still have some time to discuss. Please make the final decision based on the unknown Beluga Project of Miss Lavia and I!" Stant said this with some excitement. , "Laviya and I are not 100% sure, but in order for the whirlpool to appear, a 'transmitter' is needed. The only transmitter we know of so far is the New World Tree."

"So the problem is broken down here. Should we stop the third general on the Houxiang Continent, or go directly to the Extreme Sea Whirlpool?" Cassia understood the question raised by Stant.

"At least it can weaken the power of the third general a little. In the polar sea whirlpool, the giant whales can still fully exert their power. When we go to land, the main force is us. I don't know Miss Eileenor of the Empire , to what extent her strength has increased. But Miss Letitia should have described her feelings during the meeting at sea - when she accepted the help of the third general, became a six-stage life form, and came into contact with its spiritual body. Feel."

"It's scary!" Lavia said, as if she was talking about a very light thing, but the heaviness of the words was not lighthearted. "A completely different mental body... just like after an extremely long time." , it sheds its skin layer by layer. Just like the annual rings of a tree, and those annual rings are its molting, layer after layer, instead of falling off, they are piled up layer by layer, forming a seemingly bloated defense. "
