Steel steam and flame

The heavy rain in Manoma has been falling for too long, and there is no sign of letting up. Theological seminaries and the scientific institutions of the empire made elaborate calculations of when it would stop and predicted the days when it would clear up. But without exception, they all failed. Relying on the industrial power and scientific research of the empire, people can resist almost all natural forces, but if they want to perfectly conquer and manage and predict them, there is still a long and arduous road ahead.

The deserted corridor, the cold lights, and the sound of hurried footsteps. In a building in the military school, a meeting had just ended. The participants in the meeting each took their own documents and slowly left the spacious conference hall.

As the general person in charge, he is the last one to leave every time. Necessary documents need to be sorted out, and what was said at the meeting needs to be carefully sorted out in the mind after the meeting to see if there are any omissions, or whether one's meaning is expressed concretely, and what is hidden under the words is shallow. Whether the underlying meaning is completely conveyed to everyone present.

Fold the documents on the straight oak table, put them into plastic bags, and wrap them with sealing lines. Finally, he turned off the lights and closed the wooden door that looked extremely heavy but was light in hand.

As expected, there was a person waiting for him in the corridor. When Bei turned around, an unexpected person walked out from the corner of the corridor in front of her. The sound that penetrated the wall and reached his ears had already betrayed her identity. It's Himia.

"Waiting for me after every meeting, no one else would have had this patience and perseverance after so many years." Borei walked forward and said to the beautiful woman beside him, glancing at her purple high heels. , and then looked straight ahead, even Xemiah's face was filtered out by him. "I changed my shoes again, but the color last time was pretty good."

"People like you actually have colors that you think are good!" As an old friend of Bordeaux, this was the first time in more than ten years that Himiya heard Bordeaux say such words, "What color do you think things should be? Just whatever color it should be. It’s really surprising that you can say such a thing when all unnecessary decorations are just a bad idea.”

While following the broad steps of Bolei, Himya said these words, "I have taken simplicity as my motto in life and have been adhering to it for so long. It seems that you have changed somewhat in this special period. At least. In the future, you don’t have to worry too much about your temper and character.”

"It's not simplicity, nor improvement. There is no need to complicate things that can be solved simply. Things that were originally used for their purpose are completely feasible as long as they can play their role correctly and effectively. Adding extra things They are all false and have no effect except a waste of one's time and energy." Bolei's tone was still calm, and he did not use a debate or slightly emotional tone because of different opinions.

He said: "Rather than you worry about me, I think you should worry about yourself. The power disputes entangled in the Qilaandi family, as well as what happened just a few days ago about a member of the Meredith family. The murder of the powerful elder. If placed in peacetime, each of them can stir up the storm in the empire. Although they are all shrouded in the atmosphere of war now, if they accidentally fall in, they will be shattered into pieces. It’s still very easy.”

As he said that, Bolei turned his head and looked into Xemiah's pure golden eyes, "Especially your Qilaandi family, the current situation is forcing everyone to stand. I advise you not to get involved. Now that you have arrived at the Military Academy, it is better to be an instructor honestly. If someone forces you, don't tell me that the students you specially trained in the past will not help you at this time. Military Academy's Special status has also created a large number of people with special status. They are just people walking in the darkness. Although they are managed by the empire, the power does not have strong binding force on them. The strong ones among them, they are The empire still has a certain right to speak. And helping you will only make you independent from the rights disputes of the Qilaandi family. As long as you express your attitude, I believe no one will come here to trouble you."

"And what is the situation inside the empire now? The successful experiment of your Chiraandi family, and the success of the experimental product that no one was optimistic about before, can be said to have completely broken the balance of the empire for many years. What does the Knight King represent? , I don’t need to tell you, you should understand.” Bolei stopped at this moment, there was the staircase in front of him, and he wanted to finish his words here.

"Of course I understand." Himya said, standing next to Bolei. "The first Knight King Grote Rohm directly contributed to the birth of the empire and the consolidation of its status, and the second Knight King Coverdale ·Nelson even caused the empire to start a war with the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance. "The appearance of a king is always accompanied by war and death." This is said in the theological history book, and it is a good summary. "

"Liberating any holy weapon is a taboo that a country cannot touch, especially the holy sword as a symbol of the empire. Once the girl from your Qilaandi family is crowned king, it will be a decision to free the holy sword in front of the people. Even if it’s just a generation of holy swords. And according to that girl’s behavior, a generation of holy swords may still be far from meeting her goals.”

"Do you think her target is the Holy Sword itself, the Sword of Victory that has been sealed in dust for who knows how many years!" Ximia's tone was filled with wonder. Bie, whose strength and position were higher than hers, obviously knew more. .

"Of course, she is a monster created by your family in violation of the technological rules set by Avalon. You should know the reason why the two generations of knight kings were able to liberate the body of the holy sword." Bolei snorted, his tone filled with emotion. He ridiculed, "The liberation of a generation of holy swords is enough to attract the attention of the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, and the two behemoths standing behind them will never let it go. Who is the enemy of the empire all the time? Everyone talks about it. I don’t say anything inside, but I know it in my heart.”

"Are they two giant countries on the Youxiang Continent and the Zuoxiang Continent?" Himya sighed, "Do the four forces really intend to challenge them at this time?"

"Of course, your family was the first to break the technological rules of Avalon, but there was no voice of criticism from Avalon's side. Compared with the mechanical technology that is almost close to its peak, the human body biology is still far from the end. Technology is something that group of crazy scientists are extremely interested in. The second type of creatures is far more than just dragons." Bordeaux said, "And it is extremely rare for the four forces to endure a state of balance for thousands of years. Now. Taking advantage of the period when that girl was crowned king, coupled with the blockade of the heat current from the vortex of the Extreme Sea and the cold current from the Endless Sea, the purpose of the empire has become obvious."

"Temporarily blockade the Left Prime Continent and the Right Prime Minister Continent with natural huge power, and take advantage of this period to completely annihilate the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance. And destroy the Knight King and crown your own king?" Himia said, the next step is It was already very clear, "Then the collision between continents will begin after the effects of the heat and cold currents disappear?"

"Yes, this is the empire's plan." Bolei moved his feet and prepared to leave, "But no one knows which step it can take, whether it will be to perfectly rule the entire Houxiang Continent, or whether it will die halfway. Because it is a lot. Something that will only be revealed years later.”

He walked into the stairs and said, "This is still too far away, and what you have to pay attention to now is not to get involved. And especially things related to that boy, as a strange existence today, regardless of him, But the person standing behind him is something that no one dares to ignore.”

"Cassia Tussos?" Himya stepped up and followed him.

"No, it's Cassia Qilaandi!" Bolei returned to his normal tone and said.
