Steel steam and flame

It's rare for two different species of animals to mix together so peacefully. And don’t black crows eat meat? Lisa Man thought about this while she waited for the waiter to bring the limoncello to the table, and she wondered whether the bread crumbs might be attractive to the crows. But no matter what, the young waiter dragged the plate over with his palm, and brought a triangular cup filled with light cyan lemon wine, which filled the air with fragrance. There are also complimentary snacks on the side, soft biscuits baked in just the right color.

"You're late. Failure to abide by your agreement seems to be your characteristic." The man sitting opposite finally put down the magazine in his hand after the waiter left, closed it and put it aside. "How can I trust you with such an attitude?" Things to discuss below.”

"It's that philosophy of yours again. Seeing the big from the small doesn't apply to anything, Macquarie."

"for example,,,"

"What we are going to discuss." Li Suman smiled, took a sip of lemon wine, thought about it, and took a biscuit to eat by herself.

"Aren't you busy recently? I didn't expect you would actually have time to come here to meet me." There was still an element of surprise in Li Suman's words, "I originally thought I could only sit here alone today and watch the pigeons. I spent time with the fountain. I haven’t been back for a long time. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how long I would have stayed in the ice field. After all, it seems that I still have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

"Are you serious?" Macquarie asked for ordinary white wine and drank half of it. Now the Lissoman Limoncello is catching up.

"It's not necessarily good to come back. At least the more old friends you are, the less merciless your subordinates will be when the time comes to fight." Macquarie looked at Li Suman and said. It is rare to see such an outfit today, and there are not many in his memory. Come again. He didn't bring any weapons, and the bag he carried was purely for decoration and didn't necessarily contain anything. But when they are like this, they themselves are a weapon, and there are very few things that can hurt them.

"Of course it's false." Li Suman said angrily, "When did those holy fathers call people back to Manoma for good things? Not once. Although the signal connection is not very convenient in the ice field, but All things that happen in the empire will be reported in a timely manner. Matters as important as the Knight King are no longer secrets among us."

Li Suman's words revealed the tone that she should have said: "Especially because you are involved in it. Of course so-called friends will pay attention to it."

"In terms of time, I'm afraid it didn't just start with the King of Knights, right?" Macquarie was unmoved.

"Correct, if I am interested in your situation because of this matter, then I can't be called an old friend." Li Suman didn't even change her breathing, "I heard in the ice field that you voluntarily resigned from the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. I was still completely shocked when you discovered your identity. Really, I didn’t guess what you wanted to do, including at this time. It’s been a long time since we last met, and as expected, the biggest change is ourselves.”

"If you want to tell the truth about the positions of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, we are not that unfamiliar with each other yet." Macquarie said, "But why didn't you come back then? With your strength, and Qila Andi Compared with the guy at home, the chances should be very high. For some reasons, I fought against him and I didn’t feel that he was very powerful. If there must be a standard of measurement, it is completely impossible to kill me. "

Li Suman stared at Magli indifferently and said nothing.

"The ice field seems to have had a great influence on you?" Macquarie added, drinking half of the remaining wine. "It was you who took the initiative to withdraw from the knight trial mission, but I got the knight's place at the round table. The reason shouldn’t be on me.”

"If I could beat you at the beginning, nothing would happen in the future. The only opponent I have identified is you, and you are not here, and other people may not be able to interest me. But it's better to keep it this way, at least during the same period. Among the people, you are the only one left. Many of the guards in the ice field are alone, and their families and other things have all been endured by their long lifespan. The people I met at the same time have not set up tombstones. It just turned into ice cubes and frozen everywhere. The time for thawing is not fixed, and even if it does thaw, it will only become a tool of war."

"But now you have caught up with me. The Twelve Knights of the Round Table will not be of great help to you now, and the Holy Emperor's Hall has always maintained a place among the Knights of the Round Table. If you want to become one of the twelve, work The amount may be huge. At least you have to find a suitable reason for the death of the knight in the Holy Emperor's Hall. It's time to worry now. How long has it been? You are also a general, ranked three stars. It's time to We have them all, and the Holy Emperor’s Hall will not be so congested as to treat you badly in some matters. After all, the purpose of calling you five priests back is to deal with my side."

Lisuman sighed, drank the lemon wine in the triangular glass, and waved to the waiter to bring another glass.

"Please take your time." The waiter brought new limoncello and removed the empty glass. Looking at the waiter's light footsteps, Li Suman remembered that the conversation seemed to have come to her side.

I never knew that talking could be so tiring. I felt thirsty after not saying many words, but limoncello didn't seem to have the function of quenching my thirst.

"Not long ago, the Holy Fathers held a secret meeting. Not many people attended, only the five of us who came back." Li Suman said, "Almost most of the twenty-three Grand Dukes' families are willing to join forces with the Holy Emperor's Hall. Seven The big giant companies don't want to get involved for the time being, perhaps because they want to wait and see the attitude of other people. After all, they are a group of businessmen. The king's faction has always been chaotic, and the interest relationship between the five princes, as well as them and Astus The interest relationship between the royal families has not been clarified until now. Compared to the twenty-three princely families at this time, their situation may be much worse. Two of the princes made it clear that they would join forces with the Holy Emperor's Hall, while the other princes did not. There is no clear statement in the speech. It’s just that the Astus royal family seems to be biased towards your side. I think you should know this better than me, right?”

Macquarie nodded, and Li Suman already understood the meaning: "But these things are not enough. Standing is never meant to be believed. Especially for those smart people who hold power, stand is just a word. Their interests are affected The most direct impact is your Holy Emperor Hall, others are happy to see this."

"Of course, everyone knows this." Lisuman said, "My current position represents the Holy Emperor, although I can't contact him when I return to Manoma. If the empire wants to cause trouble, we can help them make it bigger. A little. In the end, it succeeded, whether it really unified the Prime Minister's Continent, or whether Manoma was crushed by the steel tracks of the other two countries. For us, the impact is not that big. This strength has come to No matter where you are, you can linger on until you die of old age.”
