Steel steam and flame

"Everyone is the same. The light here is too dark, so you have to be careful. Otherwise, if you fall down, you will have to spend more effort than usual to get up." Cassia said, the accuracy of the gun and the man standing opposite The two black shadows were the same, without any deviation, and they were both aimed at each other's heads.

"But I have to explain first, here, the number of people does not mean victory." Cassia turned his back to the wide open window, his body was shrouded in the moonlight like the golden skull, and his face was covered like a canvas. A black shadow. Roberta and the others opposite could not see Cassia's face clearly.

"But the number of people can tilt the victory to our side." The two people at the door did not move and said to Cassia, who was backlit in the room, "My name is Roberta, and next to me is Keshan. We all come with sincerity. , please believe this. You should know that we are the servants and stewards of the saint."

"You can call me Cassia." Cassia said, "Doris mentioned you, and you were a whole day late. Doris misses you very much."

"There are many reasons, and we will explain them to the Saint." Roberta said doubtfully, "This time should still be in the evening for a few days, and those of us who are here now are also disobeying orders. But please Don’t worry, there are only two of us, the others are still performing other tasks for the time being.”

After not speaking for a while, Cassia was thinking in her head, and finally said: "Although it is inappropriate to say it, they must have been abandoned by you. You have no choice but to do so under the current situation. I think the two of us They all probably thought of the same place. What do you think, Roberta, Nanny." He wasn't sure what to call the old man who couldn't see his true face in front of him.

But even if you can't see it, you can still see the shock of Roberta herself from the slightly shaking black shadow. Keshan beside her was even more shaken. So far, she was still completely in the fog and could not see the true direction of things.

"There are still many things that we have no choice but to resist, and this is just one of them." Roberta's tone suddenly became much softer, "Then there is no need to use guns to solve things between us. I I think we can sit down and have a good talk. The thing on the table next to you should be the skull. Although I don’t know its specific use, I think you must be in great need of the other parts of this skull. To be honest, your strength does not pose much of a threat to me. If possible, I don’t want to sit down and talk with you quietly. This is too time-consuming and will also make things that should be buried in time quickly He is still gasping for breath again."

Although she said this, Roberta did not put the results of her words into action. On the surface, Cassia gave her this feeling. She would not and should not be her opponent at all. But in the darkness, there are still hidden threats. It was like a huge misfired bomb. Even though I knew it wouldn't explode, I still felt like I was having heart palpitations.

"I want to know where the saint is now?" Robert asked.

"It's in the second room at the beginning of the corridor. This is the code card." Cassia said, throwing the code card in her hand over, and Roberta caught it steadily.

"Keshan, please go to the Saint's room first. Mr. Cassia and I will go there after we have a chat."

"But..." The shadow representing Keshan froze in place, but Roberta's words could not be questioned or violated. This was the power accumulated over decades. As a maid, she is the head maid, and as a housekeeper, she is also the head housekeeper.

After watching Keshan leave, Roberta felt visibly relieved. She walked into the room, and the increasingly strong light completely exposed her old face to the air. With the change in distance, Cassia's face was reflected in her eyes, which still had excellent vision.

"You are younger than I thought." Robert said, placing the box hanging on his shoulder at his feet.

"But Sister Roberta, you are different. You are a little older than I thought."

"It is normal for people who will be buried in the ground soon. Recently, I have treated every mission as a retirement mission, but no one wants me to retire. This body and age cannot To win sympathy." Roberta said, with darkness in her eyes, "The so-called gods are also things that do not understand the existence of human beings. No matter it is before or now, I am afraid it will be the same in the future. It will never be the one who can save me. , nor the Holy Emperor."

"Perhaps the Holy Emperor is also a poor person. He probably wants to save himself. Although you have all made sacrifices to the gods." Cassia and Roberta retracted their pistols at the same time.

"I am also a poor person. I have been a devout believer for so many years, but the Holy Emperor has always asked me to do things that are against the gods. I cannot be called a true believer. Finally, I was about to enter the grave, and I was finally beaten by them. Completely abandoned. Not all people will sympathize with the poor people, and not all poor people deserve sympathy. For them, if gods really exist, I hope they will enter hell as soon as possible." Roberta said, " In the end, it was himself who helped him escape. God will always exist in his heart. This is really a good saying. I don’t know what you think, Mr. Cassia." Roberta smiled, wrinkles covering her entire face, and she was getting older. Eating away at her body.

"I don't believe in gods, but I have longed to work in the church and become a holy envoy." Cassia replied, "How much do you know about the Holy Emperor's plan this time? Until I see you coming, Only then did I know that my guess was correct.”

"I don't know, but this does not prevent me from knowing what the Holy Emperor wants to do. I have worked in the Holy Emperor's Hall for so many years, always as a maid and housekeeper, but as I have lived for a long time, my nerves and brain have become slower and slower. But it made me break away from the fanatical belief in gods in the past. Some of the things I believed in deeply began to appear cracks a few years ago. At that time, I happened to become the housekeeper and maid of the saint, taking good care of her. The saint’s life, and served as an assistant in learning and education.” Roberta recounted, “At that time, the young saint would tell me from time to time that she often dreamed of a kind uncle talking to her, and the name of one of the places and The location appeared very frequently. I instinctively sensed that something was wrong, so of course I did something on it. I thought it was just an accident, but I didn't expect that it really happened, and it happened to me. I have to say that I made the decision at that time. He saved me and allowed me to live for a few more years."

"Your purpose is probably the same as that of the Holy Emperor, right?" Roberta paused.

"It's not a purpose, it should be said as a bargaining chip." Cassia replied, "If you believe it, the uncle Doris mentioned also talked to me, and took good care of Doris as a condition, and we made an agreement. A fair transaction. So in terms of stance, we have no hostility towards Doris. I also treat Doris as my sister."

"Whether it's a transaction or anything else, I won't be able to see the future results." Roberta sighed, "I also want to spend more time with the saint. She is at this age where she has the most important role as a saint. Beautiful moment. But there is little time left, and under realistic conditions, I am not allowed to do this. The contemporary Holy Emperor is very 'merciful', and this is true for everyone. Our entire team should not be able to escape. . But I think Mr. Cassia, you should be an unplanned person, otherwise the saint will be alone when she comes here."

Cassia nodded, and the wrinkles on Roberta's face outlined an expression of relief.

"Keshan is also a very good housekeeper, and is extremely qualified as a maid. Please trust the vision of an old maid and the chief housekeeper." Roberta said with a smile, the moonlight was swallowing up the space in the room inch by inch, "Originally, I wanted to let Keshan take the Saint away alone this time. But Keshan is only the most suitable as a housekeeper, and this kind of thing is also the best option after no choice. Since Mr. Cassia, you are here, please Allow me to entrust them all to you on behalf of both of them.”
