Steel steam and flame

The two of them did not feel the stiffness of the atmosphere because of the silence. They both followed the silence, lying on the hard rock and looking at the sky full of snow clouds together.

The journey here made Perkinz feel tired. He looked at the snow clouds for a while, but found nothing. He closed his eyes and waited for time to pass slowly while resting and adjusting his body. Grote, who was beside him, then followed Perkinz's example and closed his eyes.

But for the two of them, even in history a thousand years ago, they no longer knew what real tiredness was, and the feeling of sleeping only existed in their memories.

"How long did you come to Houxiang Continent? Have we met before?" The density of the night did not change significantly, and I didn't know how time passed. Perhaps it was too quiet, and the waiting process seemed boring. Grote, who felt that he had not chatted for a long time, closed his eyes and asked.

"Maybe it's because I've been busy with military affairs. When I was here, everything around me was new to the empire. Whether it was the deep blue field in the sky, or the many huge cavities under the ground, buried Fossils that have grown up, monster-like tree roots that can be dug up occasionally, extreme realms that have existed, second-type creatures that far exceed wild beasts, etc. I still remember my grandfather, he said that it was still the period of the Kingdom of Mano At that time, there was no such thing, and I had never heard of it. But in just a few years, or more than ten years, everything has become different."

"Actually, I am very interested in these things. If my grandfather hadn't taught me since I was a child that I must become a soldier, I would probably be a researcher, a person who studies these novel things. I should be doing the same thing as you at that time Things are similar.”

"I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't find any information about you in the memory that I can still recall. You probably appeared earlier than me. Because in the end, I was cleared out by the consolidated forces of the empire. , the member of the Knight King class who came from the Theocracy is not you."

Perkinz let out a long sigh, "When I was in the Kingdom of Mano, I had already explored various parts of the Continent. If we want to talk about earlier times, in fact, both the Theocracy and the Nature Association often Someone came here secretly. With the surgeon’s abilities, disguise, and self-protection ability, the Prime Minister at that time had no rivals on the mainland.”

"As for things related to the Kingdom of Mano, the first two dragons should have something to do with me. But the relationship is not big. I remember that after I became the second type of life, the empire was indeed established, and It started to expand. But at that time, I was also planning how to cheat time. The two of us should be considered from the same era, but we didn't have any intersection at that time."

Grote said "Hmm" several times, and the relaxed conversation with his eyes closed made him feel comfortable.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" he asked Perkins.

"What are you thinking about..." Pekinz, who also had his eyes closed and was in a state of relaxation, "are you thinking about how to make up a good excuse to borrow the second-generation holy sword from Cassia for a little longer?"

",,,"

"It's a joke." Perkinz said quickly, "At that time, if we could become friends, would it completely change history?"

"People whose evolutionary route is the brain are really different."

"Your compliments don't seem to make people happy. I've always been so smart." Peckins smiled, "But making an assumption won't affect anything. Well, we met and became friends for various reasons, and maybe things can really change. The trajectory of history, but what has been changed will eventually be erased by time. Will the unification of the Later Phase Continent be completed ahead of schedule, and will the Three Phase Continent completely become a dispute between the three super countries? Or will the Theocracy and the Nature Association be allowed to advance ahead of schedule? Unite as one, capture the Houxiang Continent, and wait quietly for the time for the six red stars to arrive?"

Grote thought for a while and sighed, "Isn't it still possible? After thinking a lot, the correct answer in history is to unite the Theocracy and the Nature Association in advance. Remember the Kingdom of Mano at that time... Let’s call it an empire. The development of industrialization and surgery is extremely rapid, and it has gone a long way in a short period of time. Of course, the support of the Theocracy and the Natural Society is indispensable.”

"As expected, the empire has received support from the Theocracy and the Nature Association, which is pretty much what I thought. Within the two super countries, many families and forces are very good at carrying out such secret operations in order to maximize their interests. .No one else has challenged them for a long time. Thinking that they can steadily eat the Houxiang Continent, they all want to cultivate a satisfactory enemy, and then in the process of clearing this enemy, they can also eat fresh and Delicious stuff. It's just that they misjudged the conflicting relationship between the Theocracy and the Natural Society."

"You know a lot about what happened back then."

"The candidate for the next pope is almost certain. There are no surprises in my mind. He is the next candidate. The chances of other competitors are absolutely zero. This is the reason why I can check a lot of information in advance. It also has something to do with the papal succession mechanism. . My predecessor was eager for someone to help him share some of the administrative work, so he asked me to familiarize myself with the environment and information in advance."

"He had great expectations for me, but I have become like this. This is my problem." Pekinz said this with emotion, "When you were cleared, you came to the mainland." not him."

Grote shook his head, his hard hair making a "rustling" sound on the rock. "Thousands of years have passed, and I am still alive. Everyone at that time is dead. This compensation is enough. But the feeling of death is really uncomfortable." It feels so good. Nothing can compensate me for this. I don’t want to experience it a second time, seeing, knowing, and hearing the death of others, and seeing the person I spoke to not long ago become a corpse and lying on the ground not long after. The blood was flowing all over the floor, and even the eyes were still open... Even like this, it was nothing compared to the feeling when I died."

"Of course, as desperate as you are when you die, you will be happy when your spirit wakes up. Even if I stay in my skull for hundreds of years, I still feel happy and no longer feel any despair. This is a very good feeling. Experience, but I can’t recommend you to give it a try, which is a bit regretful.”

",,," Pekinz was speechless, "I don't feel sorry, as long as you can feel it, don't take me with you. I'm a little scared."

Grote laughed to himself and said a few words, "I know, I know."

A light atmosphere filled the air around the two. After resting for a few minutes in a tacit understanding, Perkins found another topic, "What happened to the King of Steel's Mechanical Dragon plan? The information reported to the Alliance has always been It's progressing steadily. All the key components have been shipped by Macquarie himself, so there should be big progress, right?"

"And recently, you personally went to help." Perkins added this sentence.

"It can only be said that it is all expected. The Mechanical Dragon will not fail, but it cannot be said to have succeeded. It still needs a little effort. Speaking of the Mechanical Dragon, what about Sukarius of the Empire? A few years ago, because of Cassia, I talked with it. It was precisely because I knew how helpful it was to Cassia that I told Cassia the location of the cemetery, otherwise Doris would be the best choice to leave the Holy Emperor's Hall."

"But when it comes to talent, etc., Doris is indeed not as good as Cassia."

"You need to wait until the Red Star arrives. Macquarie has been paying attention there and just wait quietly for the results. However, in fact, you can also ensure Sukarius's condition on your own. The success of this operation will have a great impact on the Theocracy and nature. The deterrent power of the association and the deterrent power of the three giant countries on the Queen's Continent will be greatly improved. Although the voices still cannot be unified, it can be done to make different voices smaller."

"I know that the ideal results are indeed satisfactory, but the actual implementation of actions will be full of uncertainties." Grote remained cautious, "Where is Miss Elinor? Is she still in the endless sea? If she is here, This operation is a rehabilitation training for us."

"By the way, I just remembered it now!" Groat's lying body suddenly bounced up and sat upright, "Not only you, but you haven't actually fought in a thousand years, right?"

Pekinz, who also sat up, had doubts and incomprehension on his face, "Isn't this normal? Even including the awakened members, in the era when they existed, they truly had the power of the Knight King class at the same stage. There are also very few people with combat experience. Think of it this way, Mr. Grote, you have an advantage in experience. As for Miss Elinor, she is not included in the calculation. Staying in the Endless Sea, you will have the same experience as the giant whales. This is the purpose for clan leaders to accumulate combat experience with each other.”

Hearing what Perkinz said, Grote thought for a moment and agreed, "In fact, it seems so." He then lay down again and sighed, "Tomorrow afternoon, the ocean-going giant ship will arrive at the port, and it will be just a short time before the operation begins. Far."

"We can be a little optimistic about this action. For example, thousands of years ago, you and I didn't know each other and couldn't change history together. Now, this is an opportunity to change history. Of course, changing history is for those who come after. ." Perkinz smiled, full of anticipation for the upcoming action, "I have already thought about what people in the future will say——

On that day, Perkins Kiris and Grote Rohm met on a barren mountain rock, and the point of historical change officially began here. "

",,," Grote sighed and shook his head, "I will continue to rest, please don't disturb me by talking."

",,,"

The night did not change. I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a short while. Pekinz opened his eyes while resting and asked, "Why don't we discuss tactics?" Seeing that there was no answer, the only voice in the night quickly died out, no Ring again.
