Steel steam and flame

Whether he leaves the empire or the entire Houxiang Continent, the chance of meeting each other again in the future is slim. Compared to Cassia's identity, Keshan and Doris are just products on the assembly line. The only special thing is that they have more labels than others. The power of the Holy Emperor's Hall is there, and there is no place for them to survive.

"Not only do we need an identity card from the empire, but we also need an identity card to go to another continent. We have prepared all the procedures involved." The man said, "There are also some specific things that we have also thought of and Be prepared. Outside the empire and on other continents, some gaps are still quite obvious. Especially language. The popularity of imperial language may not be as high as you think, so on the journey out of the empire, I miss you. You have to learn other countries’ languages.”

The specific thing is the sedative that the surgeon needs, and it is really difficult to get such things when you just go to a new place. The head of the Webley family thinks very comprehensively. Cassia and Keshan nodded their thanks. They are no longer needed for anything.

When the sun rose halfway into the sky, they arrived in the Oria region, the territory of the Webley family.

The place is at the edge of the city. It is very large and surrounded by several small hills. This time the person in charge invited them to hang out inside. Oliya is not as prosperous as Manoma, but the gap between the two is not big. The same is true for Webley's residence here compared with the main family around Manoma.

The invitation was rejected by both Kasia and Keshan. It's not that they are in a hurry, they are not in the mood to appreciate it now, and they don't have the energy to waste their gazes. Everyone in the car had an inactive atmosphere, and the person in charge stopped thinking about other things after speaking once. He asked the driver to drive directly to the airport on the family side. Two small airships were already waiting there. The silver-white bullet-shaped logo on the hull was very bright in the morning sun. Under the bullet logo was a row of Webley Company's imperial slogans.

"Please understand here, because the situation in the Oriya area is complicated, we can only use airships like this to transport arms." The person in charge said with an apology on his face, "But the comfort inside will not be worse than that of a passenger ship. . The craftsmen in Webley Company are also highly skilled, please rest assured about this, Mr. Cassia."

"No, that's enough." Cassia nodded.

The person in charge got out of the limo at this time and went to deal with other matters.

The airship in front of the car emitted a faint steam, as if gray smoke surrounded them. Men in dark overalls are giving them final departure checks.

There was still no one talking in the car, and silence followed from the room in the travel hotel to here.

"We're all leaving, don't you have anything to say to us? This will most likely be the last words between us." Keshan asked softly.

"I don't want to leave, I just want to stay here, brother Cassia." Doris, who kept her head buried all the time, couldn't help but cry, grabbed Cassia's palm and said, looking at Cassia's thin face with sobs, as if It's like keeping his face in mind.

Slowly raising her dry hand and touching Doris' head, Cassia searched her head and couldn't find a single word of comfort. The journey of life in the future has long become unknown. A single bullet in the future can make all the promises and comforts at this time come to nothing, and eventually disappear in the sun, leaving not even a shallow shadow. .

Sometimes words are too heavy, and Cassia cannot bear its weight.

"It's okay. I will definitely come to see you within ten years. By then you will already be a beautiful young woman. I'm still thinking about what I would do if I didn't recognize you at that time." Cassia said with a smile on her face. , "Sister Keshan is here, don't worry. I will keep my promise."

Doris cried harder.

"I'm sorry, it's my own reasons." Cassia looked at Keshan, apologetically.

"No, this is what Aunt Roberta gave me." Keshan replied, "As long as you don't forget the agreement just now."

"of course not."

,,,,,,

When the whistle sounded, Doris held the hat that Cassia had bought her, cried and stood by the window and waved vigorously to Cassia. She kept talking with her mouth open, but the loud noise when the airship took off did not make her voice come out. Through simple lip reading, Cassia knew what the words that could not be conveyed were.

"Brother, you must come and see me!" On the airship, Doris' tears couldn't stop flowing down. She kept saying this sentence, but the surrounding noise had completely overwhelmed the little girl. The sound was destroyed. Keshan stood behind her, waving her hands and saying her final goodbyes to Cassia.

"Sister Keshan, brother Cassia, can you hear me?" Doris was not confident and looked at Keshan and asked while crying.

"Of course, Kasia can lip read, he knows what you said." Keshan said, looking at Kasia below who reluctantly sat up and looked at them, he was also waving his arms slowly, "He said, 'He can Come see you as soon as possible, don't worry'"

"But, but..." Doris was speechless, and the choking sound filled her weak throat. His two small hands were desperately wiping away the tears that kept falling, preventing them from blurring his eyes that were looking downward. But the airship was flying higher and higher at this time, and the line of sight through the windows became narrower. When a large beam of sunlight could shine in, Cassia's shadow finally disappeared there.

Cassia's figure in front of the window was finally covered by a large scene filled with golden light outside, and the noise disappeared at this time. Only Doris's cry echoed inside the airship, and her figure was also plated. Colored.

"I will wait for you to come to me, brother." The little girl finally wiped away her tears above the sea of ​​clouds, and at this moment she made the same promise as Cassia in her heart.

,,,,,,

After raising his head for a long time without putting it down, the airship had already turned into a black spot in the sky and disappeared into Cassia's eyes. Not even a trace cloud was left behind, and it disappeared without a trace. Completely left.

It wasn't until her eyes were painfully burned by the increasingly strong sunlight that Cassia closed her eyes and returned to the limo. With a stone on his heart, as if his head was swollen due to lack of oxygen, and his chest was not breathing smoothly, Cassia spent the next time sighing for a long time while looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

"When did my emotions become so fragile?" Cassia asked himself, but after all, no one could answer his question.

As the second whistle sounded, they embarked on the return journey to Manoma.
