Steel steam and flame

It was Hessler. Both Mond and Cassia had seen the photo. Although it was blurry, they had a benchmark for comparison and could quickly recognize it after seeing the person in person.

His face became more rounded, with an excited smile on his face, as if he had encountered interesting prey. He was wearing a thin piece of clothing, his figure was not strong, his shoulders were slightly wider than ordinary people, and he stood up straight on the roadside. The eyes are a little golden, much like a mixed race. His eyes were very pure. After scanning Mond's face, he kept looking at Cassia.

He held a long knife with just the right width in his hand. The blade was not very long, but it was not difficult to cut through the ceiling of the limo with a good grasp of the distance. The material used to make this knife was not very good. The blade that was supposed to be shining coldly had already made rows of gaps under the attack just now, occupying the entire blade. It's more like a weapon for viewing on an exhibition stand, Cassia feels.

From the photos sent by Ye Jielin, we can know that Hessler is a good user of a spear. That long spear made of gray and white material, Cassia has retained some impressions since seeing the photo. It feels strangely familiar.

Hessler was carrying something on his back, wrapped in a black cloth. Not surprisingly, it was a long spear that he was comfortable with.

The limousine came to a complete stop and the steam engine was shut down. There was only a row of trees with all their leaves on the roadside. The wind was not strong, but the branches still made a slight "whoosh" sound.

Cassia looked around at this time to see if anyone else was there.

Hessler threw the long knife, clapped his hand and said, "Don't look, I'm the only one here. The third batch of returnees are not as many as you think. After Dellin and the others left early, they A group of people died. After leaving the extreme area, on the way back to the family camp, another group of people died. They were all killed by me. Although everyone was wary of each other, they were on vacation in the extreme area after all. Yeah, I haven’t learned too many things. There are three people left, including me. They went back early, and I have something to do personally, so I’m waiting for you here.”

"Information is a very important thing. Due to various reasons in the extreme area, this aspect will be very inconvenient. We bought communication equipment when we left the extreme area. I still know a little about your affairs." Hessle was not in a hurry. He said in a panic, not showing any hostility on his body, but Cassia still tensed her body. Ye Jielin spoke highly of Hessler. The important thing is that he did not waste any time doing meaningless things in the extreme area.

Yesterday's one-sided conversation with coach Bordeaux had a profound impact on Cassia. The second phase of surgery is when exposure and surgical development can occur. This group of people are in the extreme area. What is hidden in the body? Without a specific understanding of surgical development, Cassia cannot judge what is useful. But it is also certain that Hessler likes to use cold weapons, and the scope of surgical development should be inseparable from the most basic aspects such as strength and speed.

"When the same method is used for the second time, the effect will inevitably decrease." Hessler walked towards Cassia and the others, "There is no need to be wary of me like this. I am not waiting here to fight with you. Otherwise, the one I used just now would not be the same one." The long knife is not of good quality, but the spear I am carrying. I have something I want you to discuss alone. According to the information I got, Ye Jielin is currently locked up in the family and cannot get out. You should be temporary. Take charge."

Cassia nodded.

"Then are your words credible? This is very important. Ye Jielin is not the kind of person who sticks to her promises. Of course she is an enemy. If she is an ally, you can have absolute trust in her."

"I won't disappoint you. I came here today because of Ye Jielin's intention." Cassia replied.

"Okay, let's talk alone and let the person next to you leave first. There should be ambushing troops in front of you. Let them retreat first. I'm afraid it's too late and Dellin will take advantage of this opportunity to directly ask the family to Send out manpower to clean you up."

Cassia agreed and let Mond leave. The limousine disappeared from the sight of the two of them. Hessler walked to the wasteland beside the road and found an exposed stone to sit down on. Cassia kept a relatively safe reaction distance and sat opposite.

"I said you don't need to be so alert. I have no hostility towards you, at least at this time." Hessler said with a smile and put down his spear. It has a considerable weight, and it makes a crisp sound when it is gently placed on the big stone next to it.

With the sound of "clang", Cassia judged that it was not made of ordinary alloy. I wanted to see what it looked like up close, but it was wrapped tightly.

"Mr. Cassia." Hessler's message was complete. His voice was similar to Cassia's, and there were no obvious features in it. "I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Hessler's question was a bit unclear, and Cassia originally thought that he would directly start talking about his attitude. Not having that idea yet, Hessler was waiting for Cassia's answer. His eyes were not looking at Cassia, but at the wilderness hidden under the sky in front of him. There was no life in the winter, and no one wanted to develop here. Outside the headquarters of the Twenty-Third Grand Duke family, there is usually such a desolate scene. There are vague regulations, and the surrounding areas around the headquarters of the four forces are all the same, a barren land that acts as a buffer zone.

"I don't know what it refers to specifically. If it's just about the matter between Ye Jielin and Delin, in the final analysis it's for your own benefit. Of course, the strength of your allies will also bring you benefits." Cassia answered simply, without saying much. What to say, "We now want to know more about your position and attitude, Mr. Hessler."

Hessler was silent for a while, and it was obvious that Cassia's answer did not satisfy him.

"I alone can't represent anything. As for my attitude, I will definitely not stand against you. If necessary, Ye Jielin's character is more in line with me. I don't like Delin, among the people who came back with me , there are a few related to Delin." Hessler withdrew his gaze, "They are the ones who died. Delin has been in contact with me for a long time, and wants to win me over to their side. I know the Empire Inside, things like power and influence are very attractive, and they are also a collection that most people cannot resist. But I am not very interested in it. The result of course is that the negotiations broke down, and according to Delin's order, we cannot become friends. All the people were treated as enemies. Their plan was indeed good, and all the assassination poisons were used. But they still needed a lot of training, so I threw them all onto the rails."

Talking about one thing very calmly, Hessler retracted his distant gaze: "I don't have a strong sense of belonging to the Webley family. This kind of thing is inevitable. I just never figured it out. We are the future existence of the family. , or, in the eyes of those in power, we just have some possible products. The family will clean up the cancer every once in a while to prevent it from becoming history if not careful. Of course, I also have my own limitations , but in my eyes, what exists as a family cancer, shouldn’t it be the upper-ranking people themselves? Many people slowly climb to high-ranking positions, and their original intentions inevitably change. More people are here for themselves to live longer. Drives the family.”

"By the way, Mr. Cassia, I think you don't know yet." Hessler looked over and said, "After the five stages of surgery, the theoretical age is around two hundred years old. But due to the side effects of the surgery, it is often over one hundred and fifty years old. At the age of 18 years, the body will enter a rapid aging stage. Without special treatment after that, the only way to survive is to have the whole body intubated."
