Steel steam and flame

After the person who made the report left the room, Torvellest sat behind the desk, picked up an unnamed document and opened it. It was copied in a hurry, and there were a lot of stains on the fonts. That was the result of hastily putting it together right after it came out of the printer.

Originating from the Imperial Council and bearing the signature of the Avalon Agency. It is a formal notification regarding the appointment of the Knight King in the Empire.

"It seems that it's not too early, but fortunately we can still catch up now." Tovellest said to himself. After reading the document, he threw it casually on the table. His hair has now completely turned black, and his body functions are gradually returning to his prime with various medications and surgeries. He liked this feeling very much. The almost inexhaustible energy allowed him to accomplish many things that he had neither time nor ability to accomplish before. But there is still sadness on his face. Perhaps only he knows how long this state can last. With the help of data from Experimental Subject Zero, many breakthroughs have been made in research that had stalled in the past. But the flaws still exist. Now it's more of a superficial thing, and it will take a lot of time to change from the inside.

That's enough, Torvellest thought, and his current state made him feel somewhat satisfied. He originally thought that leaving the Kiraandi family would cause him pain and trouble for a long time, but the reality was the opposite of what he imagined. Without the shackles of his family and the interference of other irrelevant matters, the sense of relief soon outweighed the troubles, allowing him to concentrate on studying his own things.

And relying on the technology in his hands, he is not worried at all that after losing the Qilaandi family, he will not have the support of funds and various hard resources. The lifespan that the surgery brought to nearly double the average person's life did not lead to any good things. However, when these long-lived people entered a period of rapid aging, the fear of death and the desire for new life were amplified countless times. .

"I used to be a scientific researcher who hardly went out of the laboratory." Looking back on when he was really young, Tovellest realized that the life at this moment was what he should be immersed in.

Before he knew it, it was a day, and Cassia felt that time passed very slowly. After the sweat on his body had evaporated, he put on his clothes, picked up the pneumatic sword and prepared to go to the cafeteria. After a day of practice, he became familiar with this relatively light pneumatic sword. It didn't feel as good as a forged steel sword, but once he became proficient, the power it exerted with the sword's red-hot state would be very powerful.

But in the tundra, he knew there weren't many opportunities to fully utilize the sword. The high temperature of the sword body will expose its position and attract the second type of creatures. Fortunately, at least in terms of thinking, they are far from the level of humans, although many of the second type of creatures know how to cooperate. The main enemies are still other examiners, especially when hunting those thirty-six ferocious creatures, firing cold guns from a distance will be very deadly.

At this moment, Cassia also thought about the other things he needed to accomplish while achieving his plan. I came up with it shortly after boarding the airship, and it came from the string of code names corresponding to each examiner. Walking just in front of Ye Jielin, a few steps away, with Cassia's hearing, she easily caught Ye Jielin's code name.

Even if he disappears from most people's eyes, he is still worried that hidden enemies will target Ye Jielin and others to find him. To me, Ye Jielin and others are important, but to the enemy, their lives are nothing. The protection of the family can avoid most threats within the empire, but Qilis...

Following the vision he saw from Cassia Hei, Cassia felt vaguely that he had made a wrong decision unconsciously. It's the red crystal. Groat didn't explain its role, but he was able to lurk in his skull for nearly a thousand years and maintain the continuation of his spirit. Maybe the red crystal had some effect on it.

Contacting the second dream, the train that still has clear memories, and Noel who appeared on it, Cassia felt that the Kiris family was faintly standing with something. To this day, he still doesn't know the reason for Kiris' search mission for him. He had never come into contact with Kiris before, and his only connection was with Perkinz's books and some strange words he knew.

But if you think about it for a moment, among the four forces in the empire, each family's research on this aspect will only be more in-depth and detailed than its own, and the reason is not here.

"I won't give up action just because I disappeared." Cassia felt this strongly. All he can do now is to give Ye Jielin and others as much protection as possible. I had already thought about how to do it, but there were too many loopholes to look for in the assessment rules. It's just a stipulation that if you get the communicator inside the ferocious creature and report the code name every once in a while, you can get the corresponding quota. But it does not stipulate that the code name must be your own, maybe other people's can also be used. All the examiner wants to know is the code number transmitted through the communicator and to confirm that it has reached the specified time.

While thinking about it, Cassia walked towards the cafeteria, the pneumatic sword wrapped in black cloth and held in his hand. The cafeteria was two floors up. Cassia came to the elevator and looked around while waiting after pressing the button.

There was still no one, and the entire airship was very quiet inside. I originally thought that many people would press the button and come out soon, but my prediction was wrong. Without that kind of mood, Cassia could not fully appreciate the importance that others attached to the assessment.

You should be able to meet the inspector who is patrolling. Cassia thought at this moment, the protective door of the elevator on the side opened at this moment, making a clear "ding" sound.

The lifting steps slowed for a while, and finally stopped in front of the elevator. Watching the protective door gradually close, Cassia turned and walked to the stairs aside.

The structure inside the airship is similar to that of a complete high-end villa, except that the uppermost floors and the lowermost power unit are separated from each other by separate elevators.

She "saw" someone on the elevator, it should be an assessor, Cassia thought about it and concluded. To get answers to questions from other teammates? Cassia sighed with a smile, and when she was about to leave the stairs, the smile disappeared.

After stopping there for less than a few seconds, Cassia chose to turn around and go downstairs. Going without food for a few days won't hurt you, even if you're training. Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, Cassia wanted to return to the training ground. When tomorrow comes, the situation should be better.

But it was the subtle sound of "whistle" that broke the silence around which one could hear the flow of air. A series of five anesthesia needles with vibrating thin metal tails shot out from the corridor entrance and stabbed Cassia's neck.
