Steel steam and flame

In terms of using and being used, Cassia believes that she still needs to learn more from Ye Jielin.

There was no immediate contact with Zimmer and the others, and there was still a lot of buffer time. Cassia is drawing a realistic false identity for herself to handle the next activities.

Delya continues to collect information about Manoma, but currently Cassia can’t see signs that she can return safely. Train peacefully in your new residence and read books to keep your brain full. History and theology make up the majority, and Peckinz's two new volumes serve as guides, and the selection of books becomes increasingly purposeful and methodical.

After several attempts, during the break, Cassia finally contacted Shaco from the Imperial History School. There is a hidden hoarseness in the voice, which is like the fatigue of a long journey, and you can feel it if you listen carefully.

"Something happened." Shake was very happy to hear a familiar voice again. She had just returned to the history school recently, but she felt strange that nothing had changed. The punishment she originally thought she should have for being away from school for a long time was not It didn't enter her eyes at all. It was only then that Shaco understood the depth of the background of the person who had been protecting her for months. Without going into details with Cassia, after briefly describing the situation not long ago, they talked about the books they had read recently.

The two of them agreed not to mention anything about the strange text in the conversation, and even during the conversation, they naturally avoided calling each other's name. They both read a lot of books, and how to choose the right language to avoid some areas and let the conversation proceed harmoniously, the two of them reached a good understanding.

"I was targeted by others. Although there was a person claiming to be 'Witt' who provided good protection, it should just be a random code name." Cassia looked at the turned off communicator and thought, and he learned during the conversation Quite often, while he was away from Manoma, Shako was attacked for some reasons. Fortunately, Mr. Witte also asked Shake to help translate the strange text.

"Is it because we didn't deal with all of Shaco's classmates on the airship?" I don't want to believe that this is the reason. Those people are all nobles. They are almost the same age as me but have not had any surgery. This can explain some problems. They are just ordinary noble families. The title does not mean everything.

Cassia is a little worried. Shakya is the only person he knows now who has the potential and ability to translate those words. On the other hand, he may have seen his own shadow. Coming to Manoma alone, if nothing happened, Cassia believed that her current appearance would only be a replica of Shaco, only the work she was engaged in and the knowledge she was familiar with were different.

After finding Delia, Cassia tried to contact Hessler who returned to the Webley family.

"Just investigate a simple situation. If we can find out what Witte is hiding behind his back, that would be the best result.

"Easy job, now is not the time for me to run around." Hessler agreed, thought about it, and told Cassia the current situation of the Webley family.

"Pay more attention to the news. Once you decide something, Ye Jielin probably won't change it. Webley's internal situation changes, and as long as there are some signs, Ye Jielin will not choose to endure it. She knows that patience only needs to start. , many things will be dealt with in this way in the future. I think you can,,,,um,,,, persuade." Hessler finally found a more suitable word, "In short, there is no willing person within the family yet. People who come up with ideas on their own initiative can do the second one, but it’s best not to have any ideas for the first one, this is what I think.”

It was fourteen days later that I came to the tavern again. After getting dressed, Cassia parked the limo on the side of the road and entered the pub.

There is still no business, and there are always only a few people around the dozen or so wooden tables on the first floor. The bartender Ni Liya was standing behind the counter arranging the glasses. She smiled when she saw Cassia come in. She poured a glass of ice juice and expressed her welcome.

"Please come to the second floor." Ni Liya said, and a male bartender came out of the basement and took Ni Liya's place.

"I thought you wouldn't come back here again, but as long as it's within the time limit, it's allowed." As Ni Liya came to the second floor of the tavern where there was no one, not long after she sat down, a very formal agreement document was placed on the In front of Cassia.

It was very thick, and the paper was specially treated. This reminded Cassia of optically encrypted airship tickets, with the same material and processing methods. The document lists the responsibilities of both parties after the agreement is reached, such as interviews for new employees in regular companies. In addition to these, there are also several password cards - internal identification cards, corresponding golden bank cards, and identification password cards. And a multiple-encrypted communication password card can be regarded as the core of an advanced communication machine. After being inserted into the card slot, it can only send out and identify specific radio frequency signals.

"It's not binding, but please sign your name." Ni Liya looked at Cassia and said step by step, "Mr. Zimmer left here and returned to the headquarters a week ago. He has special matters to deal with. The work is temporarily handled by Instead, this is a branch point, like bus stations all over the empire."

Cassia said "I understand" and after writing her name, Ni Liya introduced other things.

"The identity card is only used internally by us. In order to facilitate and not interfere with each other's lives, if there is any cooperation in the future, as well as the trading platform we provide internally, this identity card will be used. The gold bank card is used to pay for relevant information. If you choose to exchange money, Mr. Tussos. As for the identification code card, it is used to enter and exit various branch locations in the empire. The last communication code card is the usual communication. Because it is a specific frequency, the connection is us Internal personnel are used for us to publish some tasks and contact us at any time to trade information with each other. Mr. Tussos is welcome to use it frequently. When information is connected into a network, clues to many unknown things can be revealed from it. "

"Do you have any other questions?" Ni Liya received the document, signed her name, and gave a copy to Cassia.

"I want to know what the internal trading platform does, and what the situation is with the other volumes of "Stories on Strange Creatures" and "Notes on Ancient Ruins."

Ni Liya smiled: "It's like a black market composed of various people like the Dark World. But the personnel are limited to those who have reached similar agreements with us. On the one hand, I want to use this method to make everyone everywhere familiar with each other, and on the other hand, it is also rich Internal environment. Although the number of you who have been screened is not large, fortunately, you all have some similarities in quality and interests. This kind of directional environment will provide you and me with greater help. Just like some school professors Exchange meetings, or drinking parties between nobles of the same class, can save everyone the time of searching and screening."

“It’s like an exchange organization formed spontaneously by people from different professions.”

Ni Liya agreed with this statement, "As for other books, except for the first and fifth volumes of "Strange Creatures", which can be purchased directly with money, I think other books require a certain foundation." Ni Liya pointed to Cassia at this time. The ID card at hand explained, "I don't think everyone is short of money. Sometimes, the value of money is completely unequal to this knowledge. There are two methods, which were also explained in the agreement just now. One is to rely on equal value. Information exchange, whether it is ancient ruins, novel animal and plant ecology, everything that can be called unknown, has such value. The other type is some rules and systems like titles and military ranks. Trading information, Or completing the tasks we assign from time to time can improve your identity level."

After finishing speaking, Ni Liya looked apologetic: "Mr. Tussos, please understand our approach. The transaction is fair, and many things can be used as weights, but only money does not work here."

"Any information will be fine, such as information on surgical development projects, or some technical things?"

"It depends on the level of data and technology. Knowledge from textbooks is not enough. The detection ability of the analysis machine is still very practical."

"I understand, thank you." Cassia smiled, "If there is nothing else, I want to leave now."

"Okay, but there is one thing you need to know, Mr. Tussos. It is a long-term mission, and the rewards and rewards are very generous." Ni Liya stopped Cassia, who was standing up, turned around and took out another stack of thin file bags. Taking out a portrait, a masterpiece, it reminded Cassia of the paintings that often hung in the corridors of high-end hotels.

This time it was no longer impossible to appreciate, but rather fascinated Cassia. With a smile, Cassia's eyes moved from the painting to Ni Liya's face, and asked with confusion: "Miss Ni Liya, what is the mission of this portrait?"
