Steel steam and flame

"Ernes, you are the only one who has the most fun." As soon as he entered the room, someone started laughing. But the relationship was very good, and Ernes took it all as a compliment and accepted it. Novia walked to the cabinet, took out the wine glass and wine from the inside, and placed them on the table.

The faces of the other four people showed joy. This time they came, an entire airship was filled with various supplies, but these were the only things that were not put into it. No one thought that a blizzard would blow here in the Endless Sea Tundra, and it was still going on.

"Good things should be shared with everyone." Ernes immediately poured himself a glass and drank it. "It feels much better." Seeing the other four people finish the wine, the smile on his face gradually faded. His expression became serious and solemn, "According to the plan discussed on the airship, we will unite the strongest people among the assessors to form a team of twelve to help each other complete the task. Now we have five people, and the sixth one I also have a candidate here. The invitation has been sent out and I will get a reply within the next three days."

Seeing Ernes finish speaking, one of the four people took over: "Then the seventh one should be on my side. The Evelin family just agreed not long ago, and they have had some contact before. His personal information is here I'll leave it to you after the discussion is over. There is one more thing I hope everyone will make a decision about as soon as possible, about adapting to the environment before the assessment. Whether to be more calm, or to fully exercise the body so that it can maintain enthusiasm. It's a little delayed The time has not been decided on the airship. I think this matter cannot be delayed too long. There is a forecast that the blizzard will begin to weaken in four days. After entering the tundra, communications are almost completely cut off. It is impossible to contact anyone. could not be reached."

Including Novia, the other three people did not speak. This is a meeting during normal times, used to exchange intelligence information in each hand. They all come from different families, and they know each other because of business or some tasks. With Ernes mediating in the middle, only a few people could reach a consensus and decide to form a team in the assessment to increase the success rate.

The plan is for twelve people, but of course this is just the core members. They will also recruit examiners who serve as cannon fodder. It is normal for them to deceive and exploit them. The purpose is to help each other hunt the thirty-six ferocious creatures to obtain quotas, and the order is determined by drawing lots.

This kind of thing will be followed by many people in the future. There are a lot of people participating in the assessment, and the main output of the number of people is the four forces, and some are from the same force and family, so this situation has become a very common thing. There are only thirty-six places, but there are many opportunities to show one's strength. The assessors have various thoughts. Some people can see their own strength clearly, and some cannot know their accurate positioning. Before the assessment officially begins, this rehearsal, where almost everyone will come to familiarize themselves with the environment and assessment venue, can help the Imperial Council eliminate the group of people they least want - troublesome people with no strength but ambition.

When the knight attendants of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table are determined after the assessment, it won't be long before they will be assigned relatively important positions and jobs. A large amount of resources will be tilted down in order to cultivate and restrict the rights of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. After all, after the war came, the Twelve Knights of the Round Table led a team composed entirely of surgeons, specifically designed to fight against the Crusade Expeditionary Force of the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Beast Cavalry of the Flame Alliance. This will be one of the core strengths of the empire and the military. There cannot be any errors in the selection of personnel, otherwise it will not matter in peacetime, but in wartime, no one will take the initiative to take unknown risks.

And this kind of people can appear anywhere, even within the four forces, the probability is not small. Excellent education will create a group of people with twisted personalities.

The meeting continued, and the topic finally returned to the missing members of the team. The number of assessors coming from the empire to various stations in the tundra continues to increase. There are many truly strong people, and Ones and the others are only a small part of them. The criteria for selecting personnel changed somewhat during the discussion. Several people felt that there was still a lack of people with professional knowledge in the team. For example, in medicine, research on second-type creatures, investigation or environment, these are all very useful abilities in the assessment, and they may help me a lot.

After the meeting, several people left with the final results. Replenishing the team members was their most important priority now. Ernes and Novia stayed in the room. After finishing the wine, Ernes wiped his face as if remembering and cleaned up his clothes. A face about the same age as Novia was exposed in the bright light. under the light.

"I will continue to look for the members I need. I will also do some intelligence business and see where the general level of the assessors fluctuates."

"Looking for members is the way to go." Novia responded lightly. She took out her notebook and wrote something on it. Seeing this, Ernes went to the cabinet and rummaged around to see if there was any hidden wine.

"Let me remind you, it is best not to take care of those people in your family, especially those in the second stage of surgery. The assessment is not their home field, just come in and watch from the sidelines. Otherwise, the rules of the assessment are fixed. But we can think about it, and it shouldn’t be too easy to hunt them down. Because these will cause trouble to us, and we don’t know what the consequences will be.”

"Not even for family tasks. When you get the place of knight squire, you will find that even if you are the only one of the family members who participated in the assessment, the senior officials will still show the happiest smile. On the contrary, If you are all alive after the assessment, maybe their mood will only get worse."

"Why are you still alive and hiding all the time?" Ernes imitated the voices of the old people in his family. "Do you think it looks like it?" he asked Novia, "This is the actual situation. We don't have it now. Everyone is fully prepared to think about other people, but in the end it all comes down to their own experience and ability to respond in a timely manner.”

Novia kept smiling. When she finished writing down things in the notebook, she closed the notebook, crossed her slender white hands together, supported her chin and looked at Ernes: "I know, that's why I kept thinking, How can I let these people who will drag me down die without leaving a trace before the assessment begins?"

Ernes, who was still looking for a drink, turned his head and glanced at Novia, unable to answer a word. He continued to lower his head and carefully searched the cabinet layer by layer. A few seconds later, there was a crisp sound of glass collision behind him. When Ernes looked over, Novia had already filled his wine glass with wine.

"I've had enough to drink, I'm just looking for fun." Ernes spread his hands, and Novia kept looking at him closely. Finally, he reached the other side, took the wine and drank, "I need detailed information, especially about surgical development."

"Do you still need these things?" Novia was a little surprised.

"Of course, would you treat those who are qualified to participate in the assessment as ordinary second-stage surgeons? Also, are there no people you admire among them? There will always be a few you like, as potential Training is also good. In the same family, at least trust is well established."

Novia shook her head: "There was one before, but it has been almost two years since he left the family. I don't know if he is dead yet."

"Then...just pretend I didn't ask this question." After finishing his drink, Ernes took the wine bottle and filled a glass without lingering on this topic.
