Steel Steam and Flame

It was around four o'clock in the morning that he returned to his room to rest. When the gray light appeared outside, Cassia opened his eyes. Irregular rain became a little bigger, and it floated diagonally on the window, drawing a curved transparent pattern.

Seeing a large green open space behind the glass, Cassia got up and went to the hall, Delya and Waters were still resting. Without disturbing, Cassia felt the tiredness on them. I made food for three people with simple ingredients frozen in the kitchen. After eating, Cassia left the message of going back to the military school, took an umbrella, and left the villa base.

It is still early in the morning, and there are no pedestrians on the streets of the residential area, and there are relatively few vehicles. Walking all the way to the end of the road, Manoma's prosperity without the influence of the weather is truly revealed.

Stopping a limo, Cassia came to the Victory Building in the center, and then transferred to another limo to the nearby Blanco Mountains where the military school is located.

The wind and rain became much bigger in the form visible to the naked eye. Cassia was thankful that he chose to bring an umbrella. After getting off the bus at a nearly unmanned station on the road in front of the school, Cassia held up an umbrella and walked step by step on the sidewalk separated by white lines.

The black clouds in the sky were blocked by the high mountains of the Blanco Mountains, almost blocking them there, superimposing a thick layer. The drizzle also turned into raindrops, and the umbrella surface made a dull sound of "tick tick tick", which instantly enveloped Cassia.

With his mind still thinking about what happened last night, Delya and Waters's several proposals were tantamount to touching him. The information of those forces is now faithfully installed in his pockets. Whether to let Sotagon help clean up these forces is also what Cassia is considering. After all, let the people who are most familiar with the rules of the dark world do these things, not only can have extremely fast efficiency, but also can not cause some unnecessary trouble. His eyes were placed on the ground in front of the steps, a thin layer of rain accumulated, and the patent leather shoes were already covered with fine and dense water.

The footsteps also stopped at this time, and in the sight of the diagonal hammer, another pair of feet wearing patent leather shoes appeared at some point. The two large soles of the shoe, and the open vamp shows this. The top is not covered with rain like Cassia. The vamp shone dimly, and Cassia saw the phantom of herself holding an umbrella from inside.

"Mr. Cassia, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Mr. Hesley, I haven't seen each other for more than a month." A brief look of surprise appeared on Cassia's face, and he returned to nature.

Turning around, the two followed the road back to the small waiting room of the station not far away. There is no one here, the air circulation system delivers warm air, and the four walls inlaid with glass almost cut off the sound of rain.

"I was surprised to meet me? Look at you." Hesley put down his umbrella and found a place to sit down. This time he changed into a casual outfit, his hair was also cut, and his face looked younger. Only then did Cassia remember that Hesley and himself were generally the same age.

"Thinking that I would go directly to Yejielin?" Hesley said with a smile. "After all, when we first met, the content of our conversations revolved around her alliance."

Cassia nodded: "You are also a member of the Webley family. I think it's better to go directly to Yejielin than to wait for me here. In all respects, it is much better."

"In every aspect?" Hesley heard what Cassia meant. "It's not wrong that Yejielin is the leader of your alliance, but you also have similar rights. I think you know this fact very well in your heart, and you won't object. It’s the same with everyone, but I simply think that compared to Ye Jielin, talking with you is at least much easier. Ye Jielin and I are in the same family, and we must understand each other. When discussing some things, It is inevitable that there will be unexpected troubles."

"And..." Hesley's voice increased a little, "Waiting for you this time, but also with other purposes. Look at your appearance, Mr. Cassia, you don't seem to know the current situation of the Webley family. Or Regarding Ye Jielin, you care about her too little. Of course, it's just literally simple."

Cassia fell into silence, just listening quietly, because there was no rebuttal. Hesley also made a point, now think about it carefully, for Ye Jielin, what he knows seems to be limited to Ye Jielin's own mouth.

Hesley did not give Cassia more time to think. He continued his unfinished words: "Ye Tielin's father is the patriarch of the Weber family today, you should know that. It’s just that you don’t have much time as the patriarch. In less than a few years, the deadline was before the war, and her father would step down from the position of patriarch. Although the family has become unstable now, everyone knows that it is impossible for her father to take this experience Thousands of years of history are disturbed by the family, especially in this period. Everything must become relatively stable until the war comes. Every family of the four forces chooses this way, and the empire in a few years will be the real start of their activities. when."

"The situation of Ye Jielin may have improved a lot because of Delrin's death. But it is still full of instability. I don't have an absolute sense of belonging to Webley, and I don't want to take the initiative to participate in such things. Of course, you It seems that I am afraid of taking the initiative to avoid trouble, and it is completely okay. My own thoughts are also the same. My own strength is too small, and the decision to go to the periphery of the limit made me return to the empire without a stable life. The power is also completely zero, and in the family network, I am just a humble figure with a little strength. Compared with Ye Jielin now, I have almost no sense of existence. But this is exactly the result I want, because It’s nothing more than personal strength."

"So you found me?" Cassia asked back, doubting.

Hessley made a helpless expression: "I was born in the Webley family, and I know the gap between an individual and a family or a group of forces. In an environment like the empire, a single person will not end well. There is too much Many walls can’t be surpassed by the strength of a single person. When you are weak, you should ask for help for granted. This is not a matter of dignity. There is an agreement between us. If you and Ye Jielin can After surviving this mission, I will join you. This is my recognition of you and Ye Jielin. In my understanding, the nature of the alliance is mutually beneficial, protecting and being protected, and the exchange of resources and interests. There are no absolute rules. And the future development of the alliance will not be stable. When I look for prey, it will become much easier. At least for reasons, it will not be troublesome."

"Because of Ye Jielin's own instability, you finally chose me?" Cassia didn't know what expression she should show. If he talks about stability issues alone, maybe he has more uncertain factors than Ye Jielin.

"The reason is so simple. I don't like complicated things." Hesley was unexpectedly serious. "You are a member of Yejielin's alliance. Join your power, and directly enter into Yejielin's alliance. It doesn’t seem to be different. It’s just that in terms of relationship, I want to try not to be directly involved with Ye Jielin. It’s a kind of compromise self-protection. If the family really acts on her father’s relationship, at least I can be affected at that time Less specificity. This is a better result for you and me."

"Furthermore, you can tell Ye Jielin directly later, she will agree with this approach. As I said earlier, you care too little about Ye Jielin. However, I don't think this matter is better. It’s better to let Ye Jielin know that it is only limited to the two of us. It is the most ideal result. When all the information of a certain thing is known, he no longer has any threats. I don’t know if you think so too. ."

Hesley moved his body and found the most comfortable sitting position, quietly waiting for Cassia's answer.

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse." Cassia said, "It's just that Ye Jielin has changed from Ye Jielin to me."

The expression on Hesley’s face said, "That’s the case." He nodded and said, "You also have your own power. In another sense, your strength is also the strength of the Yejielin Alliance. Everyone will be crushed into one in the future. Group, unless a single person can reach the knight king, otherwise, I don't think he can cross the solid walls built by the forces of the four parties."

"So, now we are allies? In other words, you can decide if I hold a certain position in your power. As long as I don't restrict my freedom too much, as you did in the Yejielin Alliance. "

"Allies will do. Our identities are equal." Cassia said immediately, but the words of Waters suddenly appeared in his head. He looked at Hesley and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Hesley has feelings for the Knights. interest?"

"Knights?" Hessley waved his hand. "Mr. Cassia, you should understand that it doesn't matter to me what kind of alliance will be. The important thing is always the cohesion of the alliance."

"As a courtesy, you are welcome to join the Steam Knights as the fourth member."

"I feel honored ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Hesley and Cassia stood up at the same time, "I hope that in the near future, we can establish mutual trust. "

Entering the metal tunnel, Cassia put away the umbrella, thinking about whether the decision not long ago was correct. Subconsciously touched his clothes pocket, the document in it was gone.

"The family allowed me to study in the seminary, but it lacked what I wanted. After more than a month, I can finally move my body." There was an invisible light on Hesley's face. It was the first time that Hesley realized that Hesley was actually no different from Ye Jielin or Ovilia. The body has been affected by the family since childhood. As long as they find a reason for their approval, they can immediately accept things that have not much to do with them. It's just that Hesley is more obsessed with such reasons.

As he said at the end: "We are all such people. Even if we are killed a hundred times, there is nothing wrong with it. This is the case among the surgeons, and sooner or later they will meet. Maybe there is nothing right or wrong, even if there is, The biggest effect is just to make yourself feel more at ease before you start. Different positions and opinions, the dead are the easiest to talk to, and everyone is afraid of trouble."

Throwing off what he was thinking, Cassia entered the military school and walked to his dormitory. After the first school assignment, there were fewer freshmen faces on campus. I heard that the wastage rate was considerable. Compared with the students in this period, more people can stay in school for a while.

Came to the seventh-floor corridor, Cassia, who was standing in front of the door, looked at the slight traces of footprints on the steel door, and sighed that Ye Jielin’s strength was getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, he thought again about Lin is too lack of caring."
