Steel steam and flame

The streetlight in front of the hotel made a buzzing sound, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road facing the lobby at this moment. Thor was sitting in the corner of the hall. The wine in the glass on the table had been drunk, and there was an empty bottle next to it.

There was a big clock hanging on the wall diagonally opposite. The hour hand on it pointed to two-thirty in the morning, and the second hand continued to move forward without stopping.

Glancing at the dim air outside the gate again, Thor has been waiting here for two or three hours for his employer Cassia to return. I repeatedly regretted why I didn't follow Cassia at that time. Even though Brino had been calm in the past few days, he shouldn't relax his vigilance. After all, this place exists as a gray area within the empire, and anything that happens is possible and irregular.

When he poked his head out of the door again, a familiar figure finally appeared in Thor's eyes.

"Mr. Cassia, I finally see you back." Thor stood up and greeted him, feeling relieved.

After finally getting out of Thor's enthusiasm, the elevator took Cassia back to her room.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, the fatigue on my body was slightly reduced. But there was a dull feeling in his head, as if the pressure in his skull had increased due to the mingling of thoughts.

The large truck was driven by Cassia into the wilderness on the roadside. Because of Lina's identity and appearance, and because she also had the task of military school, Cassia did not choose to take Lina with her. She is too huge as a target. Although it is still unknown which young master in the force Rox wants to give Lina as a gift, but judging from the feeling after fighting Rox not long ago, his surgical level is a little higher. It's not low, and it's also a very formal surgical procedure, not the half-baked ones that are common in the dark world.

Through just one point, you can estimate the basic picture of the whole thing. Rox will not be a member of a small force. Although it is not as big as the Twenty-Third Dukes' family, it will not be low either. As for someone with a personality like Rox's, Cassia felt that the young master's identity would most likely be of the level of the Twenty-Third Grand Duke's family. At least within the empire, this was considered the pinnacle.

Fifty million holy coins is not a small amount of money. Cassia imagined everything that would involve her after she rescued Lina. He was still on a mission and he shouldn't have touched these things since he couldn't take care of them anymore. While waiting for Rox and the others to come out of the trading building, he thought a lot.

Now I can live well only because of Nuoer's protection. Because of Nuo'er's influence, he was definitely safe amidst a wide range of dangers. But Cassia also knows that this situation will not last long. After the war really breaks out, this situation will completely end.

Before that, you must have the strength to protect yourself. When the war started, Cassia thought that Nuoer would not have the energy to come and take care of her. Maybe there is no need to wait until the war actually comes. It is possible that this situation may happen in advance for some reason that he is not aware of. He is also trying every means to improve his strength, and the two methods Sucarius left for him may be his greatest guarantee.

And just today, he met Linna, a clerical saint from a small tribe in the Flame Alliance, and the dragon tissue in his body squirmed and ran away because of a strange connection with her. Reminiscent of the scene when he fought with Savina, what happened to him at that time was still completely recorded in his mind. With Lina, he felt that he had found another way to quickly improve his strength. Although he still knows nothing about the surgery and he doesn't know what the consequences will be, but after talking to Lina for a long time, he felt that the idea that was taking shape in his head would be a feasible one. plan.

From the moment he entered the military school and lay on the operating table, Cassia's established surgical promotion plan had been broken by the appearance of Sukarius. I can't imagine what my body or life will be like in the future. If I add a little more uncertainty to this body that I can't completely control and my life that I can't predict, Cassia won't care about it anymore. .

Turning off the light and lying on the bed, Cassia reorganized what Lina said in the darkness. Although the surgeons in the Flame Alliance were also created according to the model of the Empire, Cassia heard many special cases in Lina's words.

In other countries, such as the Flame Alliance and the Far Sea Common State, which border the Empire and are also two other superpowers on the Queen's Continent, the surgeon's history is far older than the Empire's millennium. And according to Linna's words, the strange people who were discovered for the first time in the Flame Alliance were the surgeons in the Empire's dictionary. They were different from most surgeries today. They did not become surgeons through medical operations, but through sacrifices to achieve the transformation between ordinary people and surgeons. Just like the situation in Linna's tribe, this purpose is achieved through the spiritual connection between humans and second-type creatures. Until now, there are many people like Lina in the Flame Alliance who do not rely on medical surgery to become surgeons, and Lina is one of them.

In the dream, Cassia also heard similar words from Sukarius. It said, if my true body is by your side, this rejection reaction can be completely resolved for you.

There are differences in the meanings of the two sentences, but Cassia feels that they all refer to the same thing, which is to become a surgeon without relying on medical surgery. Because Cassia found no traces of the inhibitory tube on Lina's body. Of course, Lina also doesn't have the tissues that belong to the second type of creature, the giant whale. But in terms of improving their own strength, the two are connected.

I don’t understand the reason. Are there people in the empire who are in the same situation as Lina? Is she the only one who exists like this? Panic suddenly arose in Cassia's heart. When he knew that his specialness was about to disappear, his heart beat uncontrollably, and the sleepiness that finally came disappeared at this moment.

Unable to close her eyes all night, Cassia looked at the lights on the building far away through the gaps in the curtains. When the sky turned white and gray, he was swallowed up by vague consciousness and fell asleep.

. . . . That’s the first update today, I’ll see if I can make up for it on Sunday this week. . .
