Chapter 341: Myself (End)
The train is full of minerals, most of which have only been refined in the first grade, and there are many impurities in them. A very small part of the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info is melted and solidified into lumps after refining, and these minerals are placed in the interior of the carriage on a sturdy iron frame, one by one, leaving a little space between them and the roof.
The four of them climbed onto the train, and now in such a space, they were only allowed to bend over and stand upright.
Sira sighed on the side, and when she came to the inside of the carriage, it was inevitable that there would be a little bump, and the inconvenience of her feet made the danger factor of the whole team increase a lot. She propped herself up and leaned to the side, with no windows or basic light fixtures, only a dull light falling from Kasia's open skylight, barely allowing the surrounding scenery to be seen. Dya and Lena also leaned against Sila, breathing in the silent air and resting.
Kasia lay on his side, his fatigue and injuries quickly healed by the effects of a few tubes of tranquilizers. The original injury was not serious, but he experienced a series of events in the dragon's stomach pouch, and when his body and spirit calmed down together, the organs and tissues in Kasia's body also completely underwent irreversible changes. Everything was going in a good direction, the sensations in his body told him. But I don't know if it's a good thing, my understanding of surgery continues to deepen, and I don't have to go through the fifth stage, maybe it's on the way, whether it's a giant whale or a dragon surgeon, it's out of the human category. He was afraid that he would turn into a monster, and seeing a dragon like that in the underground plaza was indeed very powerful, but probably no one would have a yearning mood in his heart.
Maybe it wasn't because he was afraid that he would become a monster, Kasia blinked when he opened his eyes, but because he was afraid that he would never be able to go back after he changed. He thought so, looking through the gap in the skylight and looking out at the gray sky, the speed of the laden train would reach the gray area in four or five days. After dealing with Lena and Cira's affairs there, he will take a few days of airship back to Manoma and return to the military school.
There's another thing to take care of before going back to school, and it's about Delea. Kasia had to find a place to settle her, or rather something to do.
The night after Sila woke up, Kasia and Lena consulted and decided to admit Dya into the "team". Lina won't stay in the Grey Realm for long, and after finding a mechanic to make a prosthetic leg for Sila's foot, she will go back to the Flame Alliance and start from scratch. The chaos in the gray area does bring a lot of opportunities to people, but it is also followed by destruction that is many times greater.
Dyar doesn't understand the language of the Flame Alliance, and she has no intention of going outside the Empire. So I had to follow Kasia. It is not clear what she had planned to do.
Kasia didn't know what to do with it for the time being, and she wanted to hand over Dya to Jeterin after returning to Manoma. Later, after thinking about it for a while, the idea was abandoned. He had the idea of forming his own faction, but it was absolutely in the bud as when he was in the town when he wanted to build his own steam processing factory. Of course, the Knights are also a good choice, and many large companies or noble families have their successors who will have loyal knights to follow them. But that kind of knighthood has changed its taste, and in other words, it is called a private army, which may be more in line with the nature of most knightly orders nowadays. The kind of knightly order that adheres to the chivalry that has been passed down and everyone gathers together because of something and develops together is rare in the soil of the Empire.
It's never too late to think about it when it comes to Manoma. This problem is a headache for Kasia, and after this mission, a whole bunch of agreements may have to be signed. The advanced theory course that Coach Xiao has been mentioning should also be opened. It is enough to screen the people for two missions, and while the Empire needs high-quality students on the side, it is also necessary to ensure a basic number.
Soon after I went back, the winter vacation, which only comes once a year, is coming. Kasia took a deep breath and suddenly came out of her thoughts, looking to her side, where Lina and the others had fallen asleep in the cradle caused by the slight shaking of the train. He let out a breath until Lena woke up from her break and looked at the ceiling in distraction.
"Have you always been so good in spirit?" Lena moved, stretching out her hand, and the soft curves of her body seemed to have a curved character, revealing in the faint and gradually brighter light. The train was indeed moving forward, moving away from the drizzly mountains.
Kasia shook her head and sighed.
"There are still a few days to go to the gray area, and no one is chasing after me, most of the time I can be on guard, and you can rest in peace. ”
"It's enough, not all the injuries on the body have to be recovered with your eyes closed. Lina also sighed in the same way as Kasia, exhaling the breath in her chest completely, and her body was indeed relaxed, "Did someone tell you?"
Lina asked, "You just feel too gentle." You will take the trust of others as a responsibility on yourself, and the weight will be doubled unconsciously, and the reward for others will not be considered at all. ”
Kasia tilted her head to look at Lina's pretty face.
"But even so, I still like it!" Lina smiled, her hands and ten fingers crossed with each other, placed them on her lap, and stared at Kasia, "Rare and visible scarce things, compared to the man with white skin that women envy, and the woman with the bronze short sword, the strength may be the same, but a little more pressing." But in terms of thinking, you're much worse. This can't last, your body can't stop bullets, and not everyone will pay for your gentleness. ”
"I know 、、、 too," Kasia retorted.
"I said!" Lina raised her tone slightly, and Derya and Ciadra, who were sleeping next to her, moved their bodies, but did not wake up.
Kasia and Lina held their breath and paused for a moment to talk. It wasn't until the sound of steady breathing sounded again in the carriage that Lena continued what she had just said, but her tone had already dropped.
"I mean, knowing is not enough. Everyone knows that a bullet will kill if it pierces the head, and there are many, many protective measures have been taken, but how many people are shot through the head every day? The Flame Alliance also has a school like yours, and everyone is a genius screened out of a large area, and all aspects of knowledge, skills, insiders, potential rules, etc., are clear. Just like in your school, how many of these people are still alive now? Knowing and doing what you know are different, not the same thing. We strangers are no ordinary people!" Lena re-emphasized.
"The people and forces we are in contact with now may not let you do anything because of your gentleness, because they are all in the beginning, and the benefits in their hands are completely dispensable. But in the future, when the interests gradually become larger, one point can make the big forces fight. The way you are now, you will definitely die halfway through. Lina's voice sharpened, and the last words came out word by word.
Kasia lowered her head, touched her rain-soaked hair, and remained silent.
"But anyway, thank you, about Sila. Time froze between the two of them for a moment, and Lina's tone returned to softness.
"No、、、" Kasia said. The wind from the skylight was blowing inside, but he still felt the air around him be stuffy.
"Actually, I should apologize to you for Sira's feet, it wasn't an accident, it was the result I expected. Kasia looked at Linna, who had closed her eyes and rested. Of course, this was not spoken, and like most words in the past, and most words in the future, it will rot completely in the stomach until it rots and crawls with black mold.
The speed of the load train has always been maintained, and there is no station for it to stop in the mountains. The ultra-vapor compression device on the body is also the last generation developed by Imperial Avalon, and the water loss rate is not as terrifying as that of the airship, and there is no need to stop to replenish water along the way.
The next afternoon, when it finally cleared, the golden sunlight falling from the skylight was quite heavy, and the four of them huddled together to occupy a corner, enjoying the temperature that was rare in the light.
The weather continued for the next few days, and at night the sky opened wide and was as bright as the eye could reach, and the moon seemed to be clear in the water. Filled with stars, the gray and white Milky Way spreads out, delicate as a gathering of quicksand, flowing slowly.
