Steel steam and flame

Cassia secretly returned to the military school in the afternoon. After a lot of discussion with Delya and the others, it was finally decided to spend a lot of money to hire powerful mercenaries to deal with the business threat. They have the ability to make sophisticated weapons, and combined with the experience and strength of the mercenaries, they can indeed extend the delay a lot.

But after all, it is not the ultimate solution, and mercenaries are not very reliable. It is too difficult and expensive to find a team of people who strictly abide by the rules. Moreover, the cost of maintaining the employment relationship is also very high. Now, not all of the funds Cassia has gradually collected can be spent on this matter. The subsequent development of power and factories will require huge funds to open the way. It is not only the factories of Webley Company that have played a huge role in its rapid development, but also the weapons of the Volcano Base that cannot be ignored.

There are things of higher value on hand, but Cassia will not take action rashly in the dark world now. She will expose her identity to a certain extent and provide clues that the enemy can follow. One is the large batch of standard military pneumatic weapons. If you sell them all, you can directly exchange them for huge wealth.

Cassia and Delya have also been looking for opportunities, but there are not many buyers who need pneumatic weapons and can give satisfactory prices. Now they can only use them for themselves.

The second is the concentrated dragon blood sealed in those steel alloy jars. This is a more difficult batch of goods. There is no possibility of it ending up on the black market. It is too dangerous. And because Cassia's own special physique is something that has an effect on him, he has no idea of ​​selling it at all. Even if there is, how to find a buyer is still a big problem.

Anyone who needs this raw material will no longer have an ordinary status in the empire. Pranksters often happen in the dark world. Even if there is a buyer, no matter how good the negotiation is, if you turn around and contact the volcano base immediately, the reward for reporting the information can make many people excited. Not to mention that it has something to do with Lieutenant General Gabino of Visayas Fortress.

Finally, I told Delya and Waters about the development of the surgery. Cassia used a typewriter to type out all the basic developments he had memorized in his head, and spent most of his time on this.

Currently, only Waters is the only one in the Steam Knights who can carry out in-depth surgical development. His operation is in the middle of the second stage. He has combat experience, but his foundation is insufficient. He cannot be compared with those in the big forces. The six inhibitory tubes in his body have greatly restricted his development. In addition, there has been no reasonable money and resource support. To reach this level, Waters himself thinks it is his limit.

And Delya is much lower in strength than Waters. I barely got through the first stage of the surgery and was in the early stages of the second stage. It is very unstable at the moment, and it will take a period of high-intensity training to officially gain a foothold in the second stage. The number of suppression tubes is better, four. Like Waters, she spent her early days paying for surgery in a dark world.

With poor technology and environment, the two of them were able to earn enough money for a second surgical improvement in a few years, instead of dying from powerful side effects in three or four years because of poor surgical technology, which speaks volumes about themselves. Ability and ability.

But Cassia did not recommend that the two undergo surgical development immediately. Even after a second surgery, the suppression effect brought by the suppression tube was reduced to a level that was not life-threatening. Compared with the surgical technical specifications of imperial institutions such as military schools, it was still a big difference.

"You should contact Dr. Dole first and make the final modification to your surgery. After it reaches the normal standard, it will not be too late to develop it." Cassia suggested when leaving, "Delya needs to stabilize her physical condition as soon as possible, and Wo Tes may experience a lot of pain in the near future. The inhibitory tubes in your body have probably been largely fused with the surrounding flesh and blood, and the process of replacing these things will definitely not be pleasant."

Waters shook his head quickly, even with joy. With one foot in middle age, he has experienced a lot, as evidenced by the large scars on his body that cannot be eliminated with the benefit of surgical results. In the past, he had no chance to come into contact with these, and he had no hope of contact. Moving towards higher stages of surgery is the ultimate goal of surgeons like them. Small forces rarely have information about surgical development. There may be some surgeons who are talented. In the process of continuous battle and growth, due to the influence of their own will and environment, they will naturally develop abilities similar to those developed after surgery.

But after all, it is not a systematic study. Maybe they themselves don’t know when the whole process started and how it went on, so it is not a complete reference. And Delia and Waters are not the kind of talented people, at least Cassia thinks so. Of course this includes himself. Except for some talents in steam machinery, other aspects can be attributed to ordinary people.

Delya and Waters had joy on their faces. At least after joining the Steam Knights, this was the first time they had received substantial benefits from Cassia, and it was also what they particularly needed.

The two were reminded not to leak any of this information. Knowing what it represents, the two of them are not stupid people.

Back at school, Cassia went directly to get the theoretical course books for the second year, and returned to the dormitory after eating in the cafeteria.

I found a few faint footprints on the door of my dormitory. Although there were no obvious marks on the steel door, the quality of the military school buildings can still be guaranteed, and they are all excellent representatives. But there are still shallow marks on it, and it will probably return to its original state in a few days relying on the memory of the metal.

No need to think about it, Cassia also knew that it was Ye Jielin who did it. Since the final assessment of the school last school year, Cassia has not had a chance to see Ye Jielin take action. There were also mutual confrontation trainings, but at that time, no one would use their full strength, and they would only practice pure skills and physical instinct memory.

"It's been a few months, and everyone seems to be getting stronger quickly." Cassia sighed as she opened the door.

He threw the book on the table. He had read the catalog last night through the school's notice.

"The Second Kind of Biological Language" also has an advanced version, which is still one of the main courses for learning. Other courses include a lot of more advanced and secret geographical knowledge, and extreme regions have been initially introduced in it. But in the second year, more theory is devoted to biology and pharmacy. These are all very simple knowledge introductions, Cassia thought as she flipped through the first few pages of the book. Then it started to deepen rapidly, and soon it was involved in the parts related to surgery from biology. In terms of medicine, many plants that he had never heard of were explained at length, and they also formed a matching structure with the biological knowledge, like a pair of gears that can mesh.

"Surgical development?" Cassia briefly browsed a small part of the book, and when she closed the book, she had a premonition. The theories inside were not directly stated, but after talking with the old professors and coaches, Cassia believed that she knew the purpose of these theoretical courses.

What surprised Cassia in the end was that among these books, there was a book that was three times thicker than the other books. The book selected several aspects to focus on the other two large countries on the Later Phase Continent - the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance. It starts from the "perspective" of the empire to explain the history of the other two countries and the empire for thousands of years.

"After the military school, the best place for us is usually the Imperial Military Headquarters." For some reason, the words Ye Jielin said popped up in Cassia's head.

"Bang bang bang!" Just as Cassia was looking at the history book, the dormitory suddenly made a loud noise, and its sensitive hearing could detect the short-term friction of various metal parts in the wall. The sound caused the entire small dormitory to vibrate, and the cold lights in the room also swayed.

Cassia watched the water in the water glass shake and splash on the table. He touched his head, then closed the book and opened the door with a helpless sigh.
