Puno's eyes opened with crossed pupils, and he could clearly see the face of Horror and Iyeta, which was obscured by the beams of light.

"Is that really the case?" he thought to himself, opening the state of the cross pupils, but the blood in his body was as cold as the murky river. The torrent pounded against his body, and the splash of water hit the face covered with thin and sharp scars. It was all rubbed out of fragments of steel-hulled bombs. Jumping into the water, he immediately went to the bottom of the river towards the root of the riverbank, used the fire gun in his hand as a tool, dug a hole there, and hid in it. I didn't choose to come out until I finally had to breathe.

It was thought that the people who were tracking him would retreat or scatter along the riverbank to search. But it seems that the estimate was wrong, and these people were waiting for themselves in place from the beginning.

"Mr. Puno, I have to compliment you on your cleverness. The smoke from Adelaide dragged us here for three days. If it hadn't been for Lyle and the others, Miss Iyeta and I don't know how long we'd be here with you. "Now that it's all gone, I've wasted so much time with you, and I don't know how many interesting things have happened elsewhere." Well, it's time to talk about compensation. ”

The horrified face was covered with rain, and all the light makeup was washed away, but the exposed face was still white, and even under a thin layer of rain, it looked more gentle and soft.

"I hope that this rushing river will carry your corpse to the distance you longed for. He said as he patted Lyle beside him with his hand. Puno's pupils instantly froze, an angry roar came out of his throat, the muscles of his face twisted, and the power of his jaw immediately urged his teeth to bite down the barrel of the gun that had been stabbed into his mouth. At this moment, the stiffened body tried to rush out of the river, and raised his hands and grabbed the barrel of the gun.

It just didn't work, and the strength of the barrel of the heavy sniper rifle only allowed him to leave a row of shallow tooth marks on it.

As flames poured out of his mouth, the light in Puno's eyes was extinguished in an instant, and the torso of his body from the neck down was directly pierced by sniper bullets, shattering into pieces. A large patch of bright red blood gushed out from the murky water, and the rain that jumped on it seemed to be dyed in this color.

The stiff-faced head eventually sank to the surface, and a few seconds later, the torrent of blood was completely swallowed up by the torrent.

"But you're going to be disappointed, Mr. Puno. Looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, he continued his words, "With the level of your surgery, Mr. Puno, even if your body is broken into pieces, the weight they have is not something that these rivers can sweep away. So, you end up staying where you are. ”

Ten minutes later, Hack and Iyeta returned to the side of the road, where a row of black limousines was parked in the rain. The sound of raindrops falling on them seemed to welcome them back.

"Do you want to go back to the hotel to change your clothes? ”

"Just go straight to the airport, the time on the airship is just right to do these things. Hack and Ieta sat in the back seat, and Lyle started the limousine, nodding his head and saying yes.

"It seems that Adelaide left that evening. Iyeta wiped the rain from her long hair with paper, and her wet clothes stuck to her body tightly, making her feel uncomfortable, "Are you sure you want to go to Ovilla? Adelaide was already wary of you, or rather, he did it to represent the acquiescence of Ovilla himself. The relationship between these two men is not ordinary. ”

"I know that this time I went to Ovilla, and I was not in the mood to meet her as an ally. Hiding in the shadows, like Adelaide and Mr. Cassia, is what I like to do. ”

Iyeta glanced at the polite smile on her face, then looked back at the rain outside the window.

"Actually, even if Ovilla dies unexpectedly, it won't help me much. "Self-deprecating, "The group of people in power in the family will not easily pull down their faces and put me back in the family's training plan." The impact of the solid red mercury incident has always been there, and it wasn't me who made the mistake, but the whole thing had to find a major responsible. ”

"I thought about whether to cut out the half of the solid red mercury you gave me from my body and give it back to the family. Iyeta spoke calmly, as if she were telling someone else's story throughout, "I was really carried away by the transfer of identity and the direction of the future. ”

"I'm glad I'm seeing you in person, Miss Iyeta, and not in a photograph or in a culture jar in the lab," he said. ”

Iyeta smiled, as if to herself: "But in this special period, there is no way. ”

"A year from now?" "Shocked by Iyeta's thoughts, but looking at his own face, he didn't seem interested in it.

"There should be a few recommended places in the military school. There are still a few people alive who operated on an inhibitory tube, but the strength has gradually been stretched. The only people who can pose a threat to me now are probably only Jetrin and Kasia. ”

"I don't think there's a problem with getting a place in the assessment. He pondered for a moment before he continued, "It's just that the assessment of the knight squire is not easy. ”

The shocked words paused here: "Miss Iyeta, even if you are given a year, I don't think you are qualified to obtain the final assessment of thirty-six places. You know, strength is always only one aspect, and what is involved in the knight squire, as a member of the Astus family, you must know very well in your heart. Without the support of your family, you are already doomed to have no chance. ”

"Of course I understand that the strength and the forces behind me are no match for others. And the person in the family who is now determined to go to the knight's squire assessment is Ovilla. Half a year ago, I lost this opportunity forever. And time didn't allow me to be prepared. Considering another aspect, the Knight Squire assessment will be valued by the vast majority of forces in the Empire, not just the position of the thirty-six Knight Squires of the Round Table. ”

In two years, whether it is a military school or a seminary, when all of us in this batch graduate from the school, we probably have their own ideas and the final place to settle down. What happened then will certainly be very interesting. It's just that I don't know how many people will be able to open their eyes and see that moment in the invisible cage of the empire before the war really comes. ”

"Perhaps、、、" Iyeta whispered, then fell silent. She continued to look out the window, the rain slanting on it, and her face printed on the gray glass window gradually shattered at this moment.
