Steel steam and flame

Without continuing the conversation, Bordeaux promised that Cassia would finish these things for him quickly, because the holiday was not very long, so he had to seize the time to go to the front line.

After Cassia arrived, she seemed to have finally let go of something and felt a rare sense of relief. Knowing that he would be leaving again soon made him feel like he could find a place to take a breath.

I went back with my mother, and then half accompanied and half supervised my younger sister's study. I have found a new school not far from this house. The quality and facilities are much better than those in the small town.

It was in the evening that Cassia took time to go to the imperial management department in Mesalia.

At this time, most of the lights belonging to the city were lighting up from everywhere. The weather has been very good and there is not much feeling of severe cold. There are many pedestrians on the street, all wearing thick cotton coats and long scarves. Most of his face, which was slightly red from the cold, was surrounded.

After walking for half an hour and arriving at the empire management department, Cassia was thankful that there were bright lights on in the building there. I have never understood the working hours of these departments in the empire, but in Cassia's impression, a day's working hours are not long.

It was a small building with only five or six floors. The materials used were similar to those of the National Library of the Empire, but it still had a majestic aura inside. There are also various matching plants and flowers placed at the door, which are very fresh. This should be the reason why the staff here sprays them with water every day.

There was no one inside, and the waiting hall was empty, almost overflowing with cold lights.

On one side is a row of elegant counters, the surface of which has been polished like a mirror. There were several reception desks for handling business, but there was only one younger female member sitting there, head bent over something in her hands. What are the current popular books and periodicals in the Mesalia region? Cassia was not sure, so she glanced over and saw that it was about food and beauty.

I was a little surprised to see Cassia passing by. She said hello first, then closed the book and put it aside. Cassia took out her ID card and told her that she was here to pick up the documents that were sent by radio not long ago.

The woman nodded and said she understood, and murmured that something was transferred here today. I have a clear impression because there is not much work here every day. She asked Cassia to sit down and wait. The files were locked in the information room upstairs. She would go get them now.

There was a thin blanket covering her feet. The woman stood up from her seat, folded it in half and placed it on the chair, and then went upstairs from the stairs on the side.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and Cassia could only hear her own breathing and gentle heartbeat. His eyes were on the closed book again, with a colorful cover, a pile of brightly colored fruits and vegetables, and an artistically painted imperial text on one side - Food Science.

Maybe it's the name of the book, Cassia thought. Then his thoughts suddenly expanded, and he suddenly thought about what kind of job he would do after graduating from the military school. If the train had arrived at Manoma Station as usual, he would have found a technical job in the Manoma factory by now. After graduation, maybe you can use what you learned at Imperial Heavy Industries to work in a large company like Webley Giant Company, and work as a technician honestly until you die? Cassia believes that these ideas cannot be compared with her own life. Because looking back on the time he spent in the past, it is difficult to find anything that can be called his ambition. And the work he was doing was probably inseparable from the steam pipeline, or it might be the power transmission between gears. It was a job where he stared at a lot of drawings every day, he thought.

After entering the military school, there should be no need to worry about the future. With the physique of a surgeon, no matter which structure in the empire, he is engaged in any job, he should be able to do it easily. But the operations performed by the empire on them did not seem to be without cost. Whether they could live freely in the future seemed to be a question now.

Not surprisingly, in the next step of thinking rapidly, Cassia immediately thought of her mother and sister Lilia. Generally there are no other relatives or friends. Cassia remembers that when her father came back in time, there were always other good friends around him. But even though the time was only a little more than five years ago, all the memories about my father have been blurred a lot, and most of them are even impossible to remember. My mother never mentioned a word about my father in her daily life. Only then did Cassia remember that she didn't seem to have much communication with her parents. They were both busy in life.

He was thinking, when he is strong enough and has accumulated enough money, will he need to find professional doctors from the dark world to perform professional dragon surgeries on his mother and sister?

Regarding mother and sister Lilia, the end point of every thought of Cassia is here. No matter what happens, the question of whether to perform surgery on them cannot be avoided. The benefits brought by the surgery are indeed attractive, and the doctors are also recruited from the dark world. They have no connection with any force in the empire, so there are no risk factors or restrictions. But he was still worried. He felt that there were too many things he had not considered about the surgery. And he has only been in the military school for about a year. Compared with the entire huge information group that exists in the empire, he still knows too little now.

Let's talk about it later. When he sighed in a soft place in his heart, crisp footsteps came from the stairs. The female clerk had already come down with a package of documents in a sealed bag.

I took Cassia's identity tag and went to a special machine to verify it. It took a few more minutes. After all the processes were confirmed, the important document was finally handed over to Cassia.

When we went out, the light had completely dimmed. There was a layer of clouds in the sky, coming from nowhere, covering the stars. Now only the regular flashing red and blue lights of the airship can be seen there.

The temperature dropped a few degrees further, but there wasn't much wind. From time to time, the sound of honks from limousine cars penetrated the building and spread into the distance.

Cassia looked at the time and it was around six o'clock. After looking around, he found a place with shining lights, which were small squares scattered throughout Mesalia. After estimating the thickness of the document, it could be read completely in less than an hour. Cassia walked into the square nearby and found a cold wooden chair to sit down on.
