Steel steam and flame

And sometimes, these things are not far away from them. As a person who is the focus of cultivation within the family, the family's attitude also represents their attitude. They also need to imitate whatever the family does externally. When they don't have the strength to be completely independent, they act more like puppets with a certain degree of freedom.

The few people talked for a long time, and Cassia's heavy heart these days gradually became cheerful during the conversation.

Ye Jielin also brought back a message from the family. The airship transporting Doris and Keshan arrived safely at the edge of the Endless Sea very early. And on the same day, they followed a group of inter-continental trade caravans and completely left the empire, and also completely left the entire Houxiang Continent, and went to Zuoxiang Continent, which may have a different existence.

I don’t know if I can fulfill the agreement with Doris. Faced with the upcoming war, as well as the tense relations between the empire and other countries, and even with forces on other continents, Cassia cannot foresee what her future will be like. Looks like. Everything is moving into black shadows, and there is no clear and clear place in sight.

After Ye Jielin and the others left, Cassia had nothing to do. He thought about the changes in his body after entering the first stage of the surgery, but due to the slow speed of weight recovery, he has not yet felt any strong difference.

Then he thought of the second-generation Holy Sword that the first-generation Knight King Grote told him. The address has been completely memorized in my mind. Cassia's original plan was to go to the library to check the current appearance of this address immediately after returning to the military school, but the treatment that followed interrupted the plan. The matter was postponed again.

I was stuck in the ward for several days, and the scenery I saw from the window remained unchanged. The protective curtain built of high-strength glass in the air is undergoing routine maintenance, and those modified and convenient airships have become the objects that Cassia studies and spends boring time every day.

Ever since I came to Manoma, I can no longer see the black smoke column deep into the sky, and I can no longer see the gas lamps that have been displayed in the museum. The things around him made Cassia feel that he had been living between illusion and reality. Only the milky white steam could allow him to find a real feeling of existence.

They spurt, they roar, they collapse, they dissipate again. In Cassia's eyes, these are endless sights, and at the same time they are also sights that can remind him of memories. The small half of my previous life was dedicated to such an extremely real, cold, and hot thing.

When it was time to get out of bed and walk around, Cassia dragged a bundle of hoses and sensor wires around the ward to do recovery exercises. The preparations for the second mission in the military school were already in progress, and he did not want to waste a few days doing these trainings after his body recovered.

The training started with simple limb flexibility exercises. After the body's adaptability recovered, he added some strength training programs to accelerate the body's absorption of the high-energy nutrient solution input into the body through the hose.

The old professors said that these high-energy nutrient solutions are very expensive in the empire. Being able to deliver more than a dozen bags of them into the body every day is an opportunity that Cassia should cherish.

As for why, those old professors answered with cheerful smiles.

But even if they didn't say it, Cassia already knew that the main source of these high-energy nutrient solutions was dragons based on the intermittent reactions in his body and the body's absorption of these nutrients after the rejection reaction was occasionally turned on. body.

I don’t know which part of the body was mixed with the drug that was mixed with many other substances. Cassia felt the same feeling in it as when she swallowed the perfectly evolved substance in the tranquilizer. Sometimes the body becomes a little hungry and thirsty due to devouring. It is a strong desire for food and energy, which Cassia cannot suppress with her own mental will.

He recalled what Sucarius said, that dragons can evolve and grow by devouring each other. Comparing the abnormal state of his body after the suppression tube was pulled out during this mission, Cassia felt more and more that he was really transforming into a monster form. And this ultimate monster is probably a dragon that has only heard of its name but has never seen its true appearance.

Cassia has no chance to talk to Sukarius again. At the current stage of surgery, he is far from even touching the edge of entering his own spiritual world.

After taking a few deep breaths, he now cleared his head of thoughts and focused on the training he was doing. The wounds on the body healed, and a layer of delicate skin that was still bright red grew. When exercising, there will be a numb feeling on the top.

Just as Cassia was focusing on resuming exercise, the door of the ward was pushed open. A pair of large black rubber shoes appeared in his eyes, with matching trousers on top, but the color was not pure black, but gray-black.

No need to look up anymore, the heavy mountain-like breath transmitted through the air had already told Cassia who the person who broke into the ward was.

"The second mission will only start in a few days, so don't be in such a hurry. Your situation is special. I have already applied for you to carry out the mission at a later time. Just now, while everyone in the meeting was gathered, I I mentioned it by the way. In the end, most of them passed. So there is still a lot of time, so you don’t have to worry about training and recovery.”

"There's not much to do in the ward. Theoretical knowledge is still the same, and advanced courses are not available for the time being. These are the only things I can do to kill time." Cassia took a breath, "And my recovery is also very good. So coach, you don’t have to worry about my physical problems.”

"Of course I'm not worried. After living for so long, I know the rough range of the minimum life limit for the surgeon. You are not as fragile as you think." Bolei patted the document bag in his hand and said, "Of course, you also He is not as strong as I thought, except for his ability to eat, which is unquestionable."

This was the first time Cassia heard Bolei say something like this to ease the atmosphere.

"Coach, why are you here looking for me? This place doesn't seem to be on the same path as your office."

"Yes, I came here to see how you are doing, and I want to tell you something you should know." Bolei said.

"Should you know?" Cassia asked doubtfully.

Bei nodded in affirmation.

"That's literally what you should know."

"Taranto is dead."
