It took a little more time to go back to Manomado, because of the vehicles, and because of the fact that some people in the convoy needed to be disposed of in advance.

Three days later, in the huge warehouse, dozens of heavy trucks returned smoothly according to different routes. The unloading was still those personnel, and Cassia did not rest, so in one night, all the things on the heavy truck were removed and divided into categories. Finally, Delia made a complete list and roughly estimated the total value of these goods.

"How's it going?" Cassia poured a glass of juice in the small cottage that was the makeshift base. Dya had just returned, threw the papers on the table, and poured herself a glass of warm water to pour into her stomach. Even the physical fitness of the surgeon does not seem to play a significant role in mental activity.

"It's a rough count because we're moving the highest value goods on the relist. In addition to the steel canisters you specifically requested, there are also twenty high-quality pneumatic weapons, and the rest of the items are worth about 200 million holy coins. Delea's tired face finally showed a smile, "High risk means high return, and this is really good. ”

"But it can't be converted into our own funds right away, and if we sell these things out of the dark world now, the chances of being targeted are very high. Waters, who had been silent, spoke. As the third member of the Steam Knights, today was also his first visit to the makeshift base, "There was a safe period in it, and I wanted to turn them all into money, at least in three months." ”

"Yes, I'm thinking about it too. After all, this cargo is from the base of the volcano, and they have enough patience to wait for their goods to be sold in the dark world. Dya said, "And what to do with that batch of pneumatic weapons? They are all high-grade goods, but among our people, you may be the only one who can use them well." The strength of others is far from the corresponding standard. Moreover, the pneumatic weapons are not equipped with glow tubes, and in order to start them, we have to buy additional energy. ”

"Let's put the pneumatic weapons aside. It was the standard equipment of the Imperial Military Department, and the quality was better than that outside, so you could keep it first. As for other goods, there is no need to wait until three months later. Since most of them are weapons and ammunition, it may be a good idea to break them apart and sell them in our own products. Kasia added at this point. After returning to Manoma, things suddenly became more and more. The Order is now in a period of development, and Dyrea alone will never be able to do it alone.

"We can try and get rid of it as soon as possible, and we can start up the rest of the factories as soon as possible. "Then there's the personnel problem. ”

"There has always been a shortage of people, although I know that this matter is urgent. But right now, it's really one of the biggest obstacles that hold us back. ”

"It's just the people who work in the factory, it's not a problem. But for the head of the regiment, I don't think it's limited to this. "Because unlike the other big powers, they are almost complacent in their composition, connected by blood, and have a natural advantage in loyalty and cohesion. But in our situation, it seems that there is no other good way than to take it step by step. ”

Rubbing his forehead, Kasia got to the bottom of the matter. If you want the loyalty of people, it is really not feasible in a short time.

"The first goal at the moment is to get all of our factories moving. Kasia thought for a moment and said. Suddenly, he was a little envious of those big forces, at least in terms of development, every aspect of his own side became a problem.

For the next few days, Cassia stayed in the small villa. did not immediately go back to the military school, nor did he immediately contact Ye Jielin and them. One person stayed in the room reading a lot of books, and also collected the latest news in the dark world.

The base of the volcano had been in operation for a few days, and was searching for all the information about the relisting. For now, Kasia and they are safe. The whole process is careful enough, as long as it is not noticed by the volcano base for a while, the more time passes, the less chance of finding them will become.

Taking advantage of this time, Cassie also went to see the batch of refrozen steel cans alone. He wanted to experiment with the ideas in his head.

I always remembered that the black scales did not come off my body, but hid under my skin. But when he used his knife to break open his own skin, there was only bright red flesh and blood that kept coming out, and the black scales were long gone.

Perhaps, with the help of this concentrated blood, those black scales can be called out again?

Undressed, Kasia reached into the open steel can. The first feeling is that it is very cold, and although the blood of dragons is liquid, it does not actually have the basic characteristics of water.

In less than a second or two, the cold turned into a scorching heat. Immediately afterward, the sensation that something actually grew on his arm was transmitted to his brain through electrical signals.

By the time he pulled his hand out, the white skin on it had all gone. A thin layer of black scales leaped into his eyes, covering all parts of the dragon's blood. In the palm of the hand, a hard cuticle also grows, and sharp nails are embedded on it, which is also pitch-black, like a metal material like a special alloy!

With a slight smile on her face, Kasia knew that her first step was a success.

、、、、、、

Ten days before the New Year, Kasia took care of the affairs of Delya's side and returned to the military school.

It was as if the school had started early, and the temperature was cold, but the school was full of activity. Almost all of them came back early.

Behind the steel door with the number "1024" written on rivets, there is still a cold tone without any warmth. Kasia walked in and sat down at her desk, surprisingly no paper clipping into the wall. During the New Year's holidays, the military school can finally take a break?

Picking up the kettle, Kasia knocked on the door of Jetlin next to her, as she was customary. No one responded, maybe they were practicing on the training ground now? Kasia speculated that Yeterin came back a little earlier than him, and the New Year was over, and according to Yeterin's temperament, she didn't like to stay in her own family very much.

Come back in the evening. Kasia muttered as he went to the cafeteria alone, and borrowed a few basic textbooks on the language, both of the Far Sea Commons and the Flame Alliance. After the events at the base of the volcano, he also learned the importance of learning other languages.

And he also has a hunch that with the improvement of the mission level of the military school, maybe in a period of time, there will be a time to go to other countries to carry out tasks. Before I knew it, a year had passed, and I thought that the war, which was still far away from me, would come soon. The empire is now moving, and they can't afford to fall far behind.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Kasia came out and knocked on Jetrin's door again, but there was still no response.

"Didn't you go back to school?" Kasia stood outside the door and thought for a moment before turning back to his room, "I'll get in touch tomorrow." For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
