Kasia was chased down by the caretaker with several thick books in her arms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He went from the first car to the last car, but there was no sign of Noel in each car.

He stood in front of the recolumn in a daze, surrounded by a crowd of people who had come to Manoma from all over the empire looking at the magnificent city of the Steel Forest in awe, and the nobles and wealthy merchants had already left in various limousines.

Everyone came to Manoma with happy and shocked smiles, and full of ambition, but Kasia's heart seemed to have been cut off with a sharp knife, full of feelings of loss. He felt like a kitten abandoned by his owner, standing in a stormy night with no lights in the dark, only the thunder of lightning and thunder could briefly illuminate the surrounding scenery hidden in darkness. He was cold and hungry, tears continued to flow from his heart, and the full-loaded pistol that already had his own temperature in his arms could not give him the slightest sense of security.

Cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, and it was because of panic.

"Hello, have you ever seen such a girl, it is 、、、、、、"

"Mr. Administrator, have you seen a lonely girl、、、、、、"

"Sir, are you sitting here and see a lonely girl with pale blonde hair、、、、、、?

It lasted until the afternoon, and the Imperial Retrain slowly moved away, but there was still not a single news about the little girl.

Everyone just blindly covered their hands and breathed hot, and then shook their heads with puzzled looks.

"Nope. ”

"Nope. ”

It was as if I was back to when I asked for Noir's name.

"What's your name?"

"Noir. Repeated answers. I was so impatient at the time.

But when she thought of the girl's clear black eyes, which were full of attachment, Kasia only had the softness of a big cat taking care of a kitten.

Today, the sun has not yet appeared, and it will slowly sink again.

It's not that Noel is gone, it's that she was abandoned. I don't know when, this idea suddenly came to his mind. He felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and his inexplicable emotions were surging and fermenting. The order of his life seems to have been reversed.

"Hey, brother, it's going to be too late if you don't leave!" someone next to him spoke.

Kasia looked over and saw that the person who spoke was still very young, with a tanned face, white teeth, a thin appearance, and a nice smile on his face.

"Are you going to the Imperial Heavy Industry School? I noticed you when I came here in the morning to pull people, and your appearance is also strangely eye-catching, and after a few more glances at you, I saw your notice. If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with the registration time, these schools in Manoma don't accept late students, it's going to be dark, and I just have to go back to the west of Manoma, this time it's cheaper for you, how about fifty holy coins?"

Seeing that Cassia was in a trance and did not reply, the man continued: "Brother, I see that you are not a noble businessman, I have long known that you are a commoner, how about forty? Get in the car quickly, I will start from the seat, my car is as fast as the wind, and the safety is guaranteed, I will never overturn the car, and I will send you directly to the gate of the Imperial Heavy Industry School." I pull a lot of people like you every year, and they all say yes!"

"Come on, come on, I'll help you carry your luggage. The coachman was so enthusiastic that Kasia felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but thinking of her ultimate purpose in coming to Manoma, Noor's matter was buried deep in her heart at this moment.

It was a rudimentary steam locomotive, with no canopy, no soft seats, not even a body frame, just a simple motorized skeleton with a thick layer of steel plates welded to it, and on top of the steel plates were rudimentary saddles made of wood boards and nails.

"Little brother, don't dislike it, although the car is ugly, but the work is good! You can ask the old driver of this area, what is the quality problem of my Laimer's car. Not only the car is good, but the service is also the most thoughtful. ”

Laimer looked around, "Don't look at those beautiful limousines and 'respectable gentlemen' or anything, in fact, as long as you are not a big nobleman, you may be scolding you in your heart." I've seen them scold people just like us. ”

Laimer patted his chest in reassurance, and then turned on the various steam valve switches in the driver's seat, if that could be called the driver's seat, of course. Then a cloud of steam came out of the rear of the car, and the four rubber wheels rolled up onto the smooth road paved with steel and rock cement, and drove towards the steel jungle outside the station.

In the VIP room of the station, this is a room where you can see the appearance of the entire station and the flow of people, and at this moment the girl is standing quietly on the fragrant wood table used to make up for the lack of height, watching the surging platform strangely. Behind her stood a column of men, wearing trimmed black top hats and high-necked black trench coats with collars raised below the earlobes, their entire faces cleverly hidden in the dim light. Underneath the trench coat was a very simple and plain dress, with light-colored white gloves, and black boots that were deliberately blunted so that they did not reflect any strong light.

The door was silently opened, and two people in the same costume walked in, without a trace of human breath and temperature, and even walking on the installed oak floor, they couldn't make a single sound of footsteps that normal humans should have.

"Captain Elenor, the matter announced by the Valoka and the school has been dealt with. The two stood respectfully behind the girl, carrying several bulging black thick plastic bags in their hands. "Do you need to look at it, Captain?"

"No, throw it in the furnace. The girl still looked at the flow of people passing in front of the station, and said lightly, unable to express her tiredness, and her eyes were full of stars in the night sky that had regained its vitality.

In the night sky, the steam locomotive left the station and was engulfed in a jungle of steel.

"Go back, I don't want to be a tool anymore, I want to ban the current patriarch of the Chiraanti family, that is, my father Tovelest? Chiraanti, and by the way, reorganize the people in the family senator's council, there are still many things, you will be very busy in the future. The girl's voice was tinge, and she jumped lightly off the table in her rough-and-tumble shoes. Behind him, the black trench coat shrouded the ground, and a pile of war weapons were silent, hidden in the bustling city.

The Manoma is a steel rose created by bolts and rivets, and a vast forest of marble-pointed domes. With the talent and imagination of countless top designers and artists, combined with the dexterous hands of architects and the unparalleled power of steam, the two are like twin babies in perfect harmony.

The majestic buildings that need to be raised deep to see the top make the city usher in the night in advance, and the high-pressure mercury lamps on the roadside flicker and slowly light up, and the billboards decorated with colorful neon lights and countless small light bulbs exude seductive and seductive colors, and it is a woman wearing gorgeous dance makeup. The things used to prop up the façade and attract customers really cost a lot of money.

Of course, although the popularity of electrical appliances has reached 100% in Manoma, the pipes that transport steam can still be seen in rooms with open windows.

Cassia had seen such a city for the first time, and the grandest building in the small town at the foot of the peak of Mount Lilac was probably the Grand Church, which was only visited once a year on New Year's Day, and it was made of snow-white marble. But in this area where the building forest is like a cluster, it can only be regarded as normal.

Kasia looked up at the new world she was about to enter and live in, and the sense of loss in her heart was somewhat lessened.

Laimer saw that Cassia's mood had improved somewhat, and his eyes were quickly reflecting all kinds of brilliance, and he also adjusted the valve, slowing down the speed of the steam locomotive.

"Don't marvel, brother, this is still the outermost layer. There is also a transitional section of the city building, the innermost part is the core of Manoma, if you have time in the future, you can also go to see it alone. However, Laimer's driver has some problems with my car, and I can't drive into it, otherwise I won't charge your money, and I have to take you to take a good walk inside, my driving skills are amazing!" Laimer held a simple steering wheel welded out of iron pipes, and had the momentum to rush into the steel building.

"Yes, that's a matter of course. Kasia looked up, and the scenery of the streets on either side was flowing rapidly.

By the time we arrived at the Imperial Heavy Industries School, it was already completely dark.

All kinds of vehicles were parked in front of the school, and nobles, merchants, soldiers, and ordinary civilians were all mixed together. There are people who come here with their parents, but there are not a few people like Kasia who are alone with their luggage. Now the people who came in a hurry to sign up for admission also crowded the huge square in front of the campus, and under the high-intensity lights, it was full of crowded figures.

"Brother, it's here. Then congratulate you in advance on the success of your life in the future. Laimer pointed to a large plaza beside him, pointing out where Kasia was.

"Thank you. The boy got out of the car silently with the book in his arms, and the rhapsodic sound of a horn and steam gushing sounded around him.

Kasia's luggage was long gone, leaving only a few pens in his pocket and a stack of books in his arms. By the way, the money that should have been used to pay the expensive tuition fees was also cheated out by the robber-like chief manager on the train.

He gave Laimer forty holy coins for the fare, and the rest of the money was only enough for the bread and food for the next few days.

Where should I go?" Kasia hugged the book to her chest, covering the opening that had been cut open by the dagger to reveal the white cotton, and stood in the huge square of the school with the crowd ferrying, like a white mist that stretched for thousands of miles, and did not know where she belonged.

You can owe the tuition first, right? Although I am a civilian. Kasia had hope that the school should not be a product of the aristocracy's control.

He followed behind a long line, his heart was bumpy, watching young children in gorgeous clothes with smiling faces entering the school, and watching a small number of civilians even if they successfully enrolled in school, they could not heal the dark faces of 10,000 tuition fees in a school year. There are always people who are sad and some people who are happy. But these emotions do need to be looked at.

There were fewer and fewer people in front of him, and the tension in Kasia's heart became more and more.

In front of them, there may be the second and third grade students in the school, all of whom are very young, and behind them stand tall soldiers, holding repeating guns in their hands, the body of which is covered with fine pale silver rivets, and the whole length is almost a meter. But fortunately, a light metal such as meteorite copper was discovered, otherwise such a weapon that could bombard through five millimeters of steel plate per bullet in the effective range would not have been mass-produced as a single weapon with the improvement of science and technology.

Behind them, there was an alloy box for coins, and inside was a stack of coins superprinted with the heads of the first Holy Emperor and King of the St. Dorag Empire, all of which were golden yellow with a denomination of 1,000. More and more people choose to use the bank cards issued by the Imperial Golden Bank, and everything will be made easier by using the powerful computing storage power of the analyzer and the power of radio contact.

Of course, if you want to get a bank card from the Golden Bank, it is useless to have no certain financial resources and identity. After all, the wealth and resources of the empire have always been in the hands of a few nobles and merchants, and the commoners have always been cheap machines. Their numbers are like locusts that can't be killed every year, and the production of bank cards is also a delicate job, and mass production is not a good deal.

Kasia handed over his admission letter with a bumpy mood, and the person in front of him was a capable young man, with a medal in the shape of a steam engine issued by the Imperial Heavy Industry School on his chest, and he received everyone who entered the school with enthusiasm, regardless of status.

"Kasia Tusos?" the young man in front of him asked softly.

"That's right, that, actually, I want to ask about the tuition 、、、、、、" Kasia's mouth suddenly grinded out of shape, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Ah, hello Mr. Kasia, Mr. Tuxos, there are some questions about your admission letter, please come with me for specific matters, there will be a professional to answer for you, after all, this is not something I can interfere with. The man stood up, his short-looking body on the same level as Kasia's, and the muscles on his body could not be covered by even a thick cotton coat.

It's a heavy worker, and it seems that moving things is a daily life. Kasia sighed in his heart for no reason, and he thought of the sturdy body he had unconsciously exercised.

"Mr. Tusos, please go this way. The man cast an apologetic look at the people still in line behind him, and then led him to a room that looked like a VIP room, telling him that he needed to wait a while and that there would be no one to come.

Kasia didn't know what was going on, and he shouldn't be known about his lack of tuition. And it's impossible to make a big deal about it.

He looked around, the room was large, with an oak table in the middle, on which he placed the book, and finally freed his tired arm.

Could it be because of something on the train? Touching the pistol hidden under his clothes, Kasia seemed to realize the gravity of the matter for the first time. Imperial regulations prohibit civilians from owning firearms, let alone killing people with their own revolvers. If that's the case, then this place can't stay any longer.

Thinking about it, Kasia herself was caught up in a dead end by the wild thinking in her own head. He hurriedly picked up the book and strode to the door, but before his hand could reach the doorknob, the door had already split a crack.

Three men as hard as steel and as solid as a rock had blocked the doorway, their faces serious.
