Steel steam and flame

"The Holy Emperor's Hall has recently recalled several priests from far-flung frontiers, and I heard from the elders in the family that there are not only priests from the imperial battlefields and frontiers, but even priests from some special areas who have broken the special rules. There are urgent needs there. Under pressure, three people were also transferred back to help stabilize the current status and actual combat effectiveness of the Holy Emperor Hall. The people in the Holy Emperor Hall are making more and more moves, sometimes without any hindrance. Maybe this is the reason." Yetta continued, "I heard that they were the first people to negotiate with Avalon in this regard, but they were ruthlessly rejected."

"Of course, Avalon is an ideal land that escapes from the world. The crystallization of science and technology there is destined to their transcendent status. And everyone thinks that they are just a collection of scientists. Apart from their developed brains and crazy spirit, there is nothing left. What they have is the weak fighting power of ordinary people. But in fact, no force in the empire can do anything to Avalon now. And they control all the core technologies." Hai took a sip of coffee, " And don’t forget that the empire’s Holy Spear and Holy Sword have been preserved by them for generations. The first and second generation Holy Spear and Holy Sword are all products developed and experimented by them. Even this time we feel The cargo of interest—the solid red mercury fuel, and the device that extracts it also has a share of credit from Avalon."

"If I have the chance, I really want to go to that magical island to see what the Avalon would look like according to the family elders." Iyetta's eyes showed sincere yearning.

Haike nodded as if in agreement and said: "No need to yearn for it, you will have such an opportunity soon. The completion of the twelve knights of the Round Table will begin in a year, and the selection of knight attendants will also be on the agenda. No. In a few years, when the ranks of the Knights of the Round Table and the Knights of the Knights are finalized, those who have obtained the ranks will have the opportunity to follow the contemporary King of Knights to Avalon Island to obtain the Holy Sword. It won’t take long, and you don’t have to wait long. Yes, just be patient."

"Aren't you moved?" Iyeta asked.

"I'm excited. After all, Avalon Island is not a place that one can go to at will just by relying on the family's power. But a few years seems far away at this time. Now we can figure out the trading chips of Imperial Mining Company and Three Primary Color Group. The most urgent matter." Hai said, tapping his slender fingers on his cane, making a sound like hitting an animal's bones with a small hammer. "Solid red mercury fuel is certainly exciting, but the price is even more terrifying in the dark world. As one of the most expensive items in the dark world, it can help us complete our asset accumulation in a very short time. And it It will also be beneficial to improving the stage of our surgery. To be honest, the fights in the family sometimes make me unbearable, and I need a lot of funds to improve the current situation in the family."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Hai would actually complain to a weak woman like me." Iyeta flipped up her hair and looked at the sky outside. He found that in a short period of time, the sky had quickly darkened, "Aren't you interested in trading solid red mercury fuel? Maybe its value is more valuable."

"Of course you are interested. The technology of condensing and concentrating solid red mercury was developed by Avalon together with the scientific research institutions of two other countries during peacetime. It took less than a few decades, and this technology has not been used in the empire. The control of any force is completely in the hands of Avalon. This determines the value of solid red mercury. Of course I am very curious about it being able to be used as a trading item. If it is possible, I think our plan can be changed again, as long as there is one thing in it, I feel that no matter what, it is a loss that will leave regrets in the future." Hao's smile did not diminish.

"Mr. Hai, I originally thought that your thoughts would be very practical and biased toward reality. But now it seems that there is still a big deviation from the result I predicted."

"Don't say that, Miss Ietta, you didn't reject my proposal." Hai didn't refute, "I was thinking that since the people in the Holy Emperor's Hall are so enthusiastic, then we have to build a better stage for them. "

The sky darkened much faster than usual, and the streetlight system was still set according to the previous time and was not turned on even though the road was completely unclear.

Cassia was driving the car, staring at the road ahead seriously and saying nothing.

"Do you see the corner ahead? Stop right there." Linna, who was sitting next to her, observed the dim surroundings and pointed ahead.

They just drove from the other side of Brino to this very remote area.

After leaving behind the weapons and equipment that they would use in the near future, the two of them finally sold the weapons that had been removed from the Rocks base through various channels. Maybe the disguised businessmen looked too honest and sincere, so they spent some time cleaning up the people behind them.

It was almost halfway through the afternoon when they really started to get busy with the two invitations to enter the Black Castle for the party.

I bought multiple pieces of information in the trading building, all of which were about the identity of the person holding the invitation. After spending some time discussing, Cassia and Linna decided on several backup candidates, changed the makeup on their faces, and drove to the location of the target in a rented car.

The process was not very smooth, and several backup targets were more difficult to deal with than they imagined. And a lot of people have bases, and they all hide in their own small bases. The walls of the base are very thick. Several layers of concrete, several layers of steel plates, bulletproof ceramic blocks, and composite fibers all entered Cassia's eyes. Facing doors and walls that were avoided by artillery fire, Cassia and the others spent most of the afternoon looking for suitable targets. Not a lot of time is actually spent turning plans into reality.

The dilapidated limo slowly stopped on the side of the road. Cassia and Lina got out of the car and opened the trunk. There were a brand new shovel and two bodies inside.

They originally wanted to find a garbage dump and dump the body. But in order to prevent the bodies of the two targets from being discovered, he exposed himself before attending the party. Cassia decided it would be better to find a place to bury the body.

The two dug the hole very quickly. Within a few minutes, they were back in the limo and drove back to the place where the lights of Brino gathered.

"It will still be the same time tomorrow morning. We are going to actually detect the traffic routes of Black Castle." Cassia said as she sent Lina to the vicinity of the small hotel.

Lina nodded in agreement, turned around and disappeared into the darkness between the street lights in a few steps. Afterwards, Cassia returned the rented limo and called a car back to the hotel where she was staying.
