Steel steam and flame

"Do you have a clue about what the Pope told you?" Zimmer took the file bag, put the thin paper in it, and stored it on a shelf full of information. Half of them are portfolios that look equally thin, and the other half are bulging due to accumulation. Data and information are collected over time.

"Not yet. There is only a photo and some vague descriptions. I have read and listened to it many times and memorized it in my head, but I still can't come up with anything. In the end, I still have to rely on a large-scale investigation. Fortunately, the target position is Operator, this is barely good news, the base will not be too huge." Ni Liya followed Zimmer back to the second floor of the tavern, and sat there looking out the window. The scent had been eliminated by the air circulation system.

"I haven't received an order from the Pope in person for a long time. Sure enough, it's because we have come to a special period. Just like the records on ancient ruins, everything seems to have been deliberately bumped together, and it is an inevitable result, but the specific time is not something humans can control. Predicted. We can only rule it out bit by bit based on the number of people. I hope that within a limited time, the Kiris family can give the Pope a satisfactory result. In fact, I am also very curious about who can arouse the Pope's interest. But the end result for that person is certainly not going to be pleasant, I think.”

Zimmer sighed, took a sip of wine, looked at the cup filled with juice on the other side of the table, and asked Ni Liya: "You were present the whole time just now, what do you think of Tusos? I trust your vision. Now The agency is short of manpower, can he be given access to some core and fringe secrets?"

Ni Liya was thinking and did not answer immediately. She is very experienced in this kind of thing, and coupled with women's own delicate psychology, something can often be seen from the details.

"I don't know, or it's not easy to see through. Mr. Zimmer, you must have the same answer in your mind."

"You can wait, if he is really willing to reach an agreement with us. The concentration of hallucinogens in the juice and the air is enough to cause most second-stage surgeries to react. You have seen the situation. I don't think he is a third-stage surgeon. If we rule out the development of corresponding resistance surgery projects in the body, we can only say that his physique far exceeds the standard. It is precisely because of this that it will be of great help to us in the future, and it is suitable to use our usual treatment methods. Erase something.”

"But only if he comes back and makes a deal with us."

"Yes, I think. Knowing the expansion methods of the Twenty-Third Dukes' families, even if he is not a member of those families, he should still be close to them. Such people see more broadly. On the one hand, it is due to self-confidence. They will be deeply involved in our agreements and networks, and they also know that interests are the focus of cooperation. As long as they don’t break the rules, there is no possibility that they will not do anything that can benefit them.”

Ni Liya started to clear the table: "Will there be people coming from the Theocracy soon?"

"Three or four months later, in the early stages of the Imperial Knights' Attendant Examination. When the elites gathered around the third stage of the operation, the Pope probably wanted to take the opportunity to find the person he wanted to find. There will also be people from the three major knights coming to assist Qi. The work of the Lux family and our special status prevent us from taking too big actions, and our own development will always be limited to the critical line. Once the empire detects clues, there are probably not many of us who can escape, and the same goes for people from the Theocracy. For insurance reasons, this is the period.”

"But it shouldn't be our concern. The head of the family and the higher-ups will take care of it. As a branch, we just need to do what we should do. Generally speaking, things at that level are far away from us. Far."

"Then the end of the Kiris family is probably not far away." Ni Liya continued and stood there holding the plate.

"It's not a rough idea, it's a certainty. The reason why we were able to live in peace in the past was because of the self-consciousness of the Kiris family. They would not actively let outsiders contact them, nor would they actively contact the outside world. They quietly collected information and relied on hiding their identities to explore the secrets hidden in the empire. Things under a piece of land. It is different now. The manpower brought by the agreement has increased, and the contact area has expanded to infinite. There will always be someone to share this secret, and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed to the eyes of the imperial management agency. But at the same time, it also shows The Pope attaches great importance to this operation, and although it is rare for us to play a role, it cannot be justified to abandon it like this."

"A huge change has happened... It's not like a war, it's something else..."

,,,,,,

Cassia stayed in the hotel for two days before moving back to her original residence.

During this period, I was thinking carefully, not about the trouble caused by the agreement, but about the Qilis family itself. The true extent and the forces behind them.

The agreement as an intermediary agent is not fake. It can be compared to a mercenary who works when he has money. He rarely asks about right or wrong and the reasons. The only concern is whether the money can reach them on time, and due to the composition and quality of the mercenaries, they are gradually out of Cassia's current contact range. The harsh living environment makes them unable to change anything, and they are increasingly unable to intervene in higher situations. However, the nature of the two is not much different. The difference lies in the agreement time. Zimmer said it is sustainable and has much fewer restrictions. It is somewhat like the parts suppliers of some large manufacturers.

I don't really believe that Zimmer is a descendant of Pekinz Chilis. Cassia felt it was more like an artificial illusion and smoke created by her own need for Pekinz's information. After all, a series of things that will be involved after the decision is made must not be taken lightly.

After thinking for a long time, he finally approached Atuohuan and wanted to get some information and opinions from him.

The connection was connected, but there was a female voice on the other end, and all Cassia's words were stuck in her throat.

"Why didn't you say anything? Are you surprised? Or are you in any other mood?" Ye Jielin said with a smile. She had been waiting for the communication for a while. After learning about Cassia's return from Hessle and Atohuan, she asked Atohuan to The support ring changes the objects connected to the specified frequency. The communication machines on Cassia's side are all upgraded by Atuohuan, who is very familiar with the equipment. With his technology, this kind of thing is very simple.

Like a kitten with its tail caught, Cassia thought about how to explain it. It’s just that the books I read before are useless at this time, and I have no experience, or I don’t know how to deal with this situation in the first place.

The two sides fell into silence for a long time. They were both patient people. What the radio signal conveyed was nothing more than the crisp sound of the bottle colliding with the wine glass when Ye Jielin was pouring wine over there.

It was Ye Jielin who broke the silence. She didn't want Cassia to become a dull stone like Selmo.

The conversation was carried out in an orderly manner under Ye Jielin's unilateral interrogation situation. Cassia concealed the key points of his contact with Perkinz and the two sets of books.

"I can agree, if it's what you said." Ye Jielin thought about it and replied, "The forces behind the other party have no conflict with you signing an agreement with them. And if it were me, I would probably hope that they really are People from other continents. Soon we will all have to leave the military school. At that time, not only the natural protection of the school will be lost, but also the resources will be lost. Maybe you don’t have a proper consideration of the value of those basic resources. But in the future It is probably impossible to find the same comfortable environment again. The current period is special, and the military ranks and titles that have always been of no use to us will have a great effect in the future. That is the most important thing to enter the empire. With a basic pass, once you leave the military school, there won’t be such a comfortable environment for improvement.”

"That's why I hope they are from other continents. As long as the information and actions are careful enough and don't leave any clues for them to track you, there is no need to worry. And when they want to investigate you, you You can also investigate them. As long as you have enough information in your hand, when the agreement is about to be torn up, you can walk to the empire's management agency with a file bag and have a certain basic rank and identity. This information can also give You provide huge benefits. At this stage, it is discovered that an organization suspected of being an enemy country is operating within the country. I think those senior officials will not tolerate it." Ye Jielin smiled, and Cassia nodded silently. The different things he has been exposed to since childhood did blind his eyes to a certain extent. At least some things he saw far less than Ye Jielin.
