Steel steam and flame

When Cassia opened his eyes and woke up, the lights in the room were still on. When he closed his eyes to rest, he did not turn them off. The elegant music sound has never stopped since he stepped into the airship until now. The objects in the room shine with bright colors under the soft light. The various furniture next to the big bed, including the big bed Cassia was lying on, were all expensive items. He couldn't see the specific value, but after spending so many years in a steam factory and a small town, he could still tell the difference in his mind at a glance. At this time, he glanced at the clock on the wall that had a sophisticated craftsmanship. The artistic numbers on it showed that it was now ten o'clock at night.

"I didn't sleep long." Cassia blinked and carefully propped up her body. It is filled with transmission lines for various sensing devices, as well as transparent soft rubber tubes for transporting high-energy nutrients. Various hormones that promote rapid recovery of the body are also included.

Ye Jielin, who was still in the military school, really couldn't let go of Cassia. This time she specially gave instructions on various matters related to physical health. Of course, people who live here in the Oria region cannot ignore Cassia's body shape. So after he boarded the airship, the best medical team from the Webley family in the Oria region personally served him. The final result is that Cassia's body is now covered with various rubber tubes.

I was temporarily unable to do anything for the first one or two days, and I was not even allowed to get out of bed and walk around.

There was a large window next to the big bed. During this period of time, Cassia could only look at the scenery outside to pass the time. Of course, reading some books is also something he likes very much. But the heavy mood did not allow him to calm down and read a book.

Withdrawing her gaze completely from outside the window, Cassia looked at her body. Outside the airship, there is nothing but an endless dark blue sky. The luster of the stars and the moon has become a little dull due to the increase in clouds in the past few days. Occasionally, the airship's route will pass through a densely populated area, usually a city. At that time, you can see a flowing scene of lights gathered below, dotted in various shapes on the ground.

Then, there was nothing outside. Cassia, who had not seen the sky for a long time, also lost interest in his favorite night sky over time. Now he had something to consider. He really couldn't look at the beautiful scenery in front of him with the perspective and mentality of an appreciator. Even sometimes, these deep and endless sights would make him feel irritable.

In Cassia's eyes at this moment, her chest was filled with rubber tubes and sensor lines. It is rising slowly, and finally forms a gentle slope. As he exhaled the breath deeply and heavily, his chest continued to fall, and the slope became gentler until it stopped. At this time, the shapes of several ribs appeared clearly and brightly. The wound at the inhibitory tube was also treated by doctors from the Webley family. The professional doctors used meticulous techniques and stitched the wound as if they were treating a doll, neatly organized and full of beauty.

When she woke up, Cassia felt that her physical condition was much better. Lifting my arms no longer feels strenuous, and my breathing, heartbeat, and disordered blood pressure are slowly returning to normal. But weight alone will take a relatively long time to recover. Everything that can be consumed in the body is almost used up, and finally the body begins to decompose muscles everywhere to supply the energy needed for the body's life activities.

Thinking of the abnormal state that happened last night, Cassia turned her eyes to the black leather box placed on the table in the room.

The remains of Grote, the first generation of Knight King, were not taken away by Doris and Keshan because unexpected changes occurred along the way.

When the dragon tissue invaded the brain, it was not accidental that Cassia walked towards Keshan and the two of them and fell down in the end. According to Grote at the time, without him on hand to help Cassia suppress it, Cassia would have died. It was precisely because of this incident that Grote ended his remaining breathless life of thousands of years early in the end without seeing the Endless Sea he wanted to go to.

Groat was once asked why he wanted to throw his bones into the endless sea. According to the custom passed down by the empire for thousands of years, people are buried in the ground after death and end up becoming nutrients for various plants for a long time. In this way, they think they can return to this world, that is, go to the place where the gods are, and gain endless life.

But the inquiry was met with silence and no answer. At that time, Grote was still talking to Cassia in the same place, a pile of flames that were about to go out, a black sky with no stars, and a hard ground.

He looked at Cassia and said: "This is not a matter of habit, it is just an idea of ​​mine. As for the specific reason, you will naturally understand it one day in the future." After speaking, he showed a meaningful smile, but The smile disappeared immediately and was replaced by an ordinary face facing Cassia.

"But even if this request cannot be fulfilled, it will not affect the transaction between us. Of the two transaction conditions, Doris' side is the most important, and you should know it in your heart." Grote continued, "I have the address of the thing. I will tell you, but after thousands of years, geological reasons were taken into consideration when selecting the site, but I don’t know if there has been any change there. A war can flatten several mountains, and everything can happen with time. It could happen. So it might not be easy to find that thing, it would take a lot of effort."

"Don't worry, I don't need it now." Cassia replied with a smile.

Grote smiled back with the same smile, "You will eventually need them in the future." As he spoke, the flames on the fire began to flicker, and sparks flew all over the dark sky under the lift of the thermal air. The flame is about to go out.

"Before I leave, I have one last thing to tell you." Grote's voice was very long, and it contained the flavor accumulated by age and time. "It's not that things you can't see don't exist, it's just that you didn't create them with your hands. Hope. You can grow up safely all the way, and Doris will be waiting for you to visit her in other continents."

When we got here, the world suddenly turned into pure black, as if the lights in the windowless room suddenly went out, and Cassia's spirit was expelled by it. When she woke up the next day, Cassia could no longer feel anything on the bone. Groat completely died after that point.

"What you can't see is not..." Recalling this sentence, when Cassia was thinking about the deep meaning, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Mr. Cassia, are you awake? It's me." Taranto shouted outside. Following Cassia, his fractures also received good treatment. Webley's doctor provided him with a flexible wheelchair, which made his activities very convenient.

"The door is unlocked. Mr. Taranto, please come in by yourself. You know I can't get out of bed now." Cassia responded.
