Steel Steam and Flame

　　 After saying this, the man in front of him chose to be silent, and Cassia and the man in front of him also chose a 33 option, and looked at the fire for a long time without saying a word.

　　 "This is your spiritual world?" Cassia looked at each other through the pulsating flames and the opposite man's eyes. He didn't choose to ask the man's name first, but asked the real situation of the world. After all, he would not believe that such a weird thing would happen in the world, even if it was so real. And even if there is, it can only be in the dream.

"You've seen it a long time ago, so why bother to be sure." The man replied mechanically, "It's just that there are some differences in it. That is, the world is inherently bright. There are mountains, waters and sun. We The place where you are staying now is a lush grassland in spring. But because your brain development and evolution are not complete enough, your ability is insufficient, or your mental strength is far from my current standard. So many things can't show in your eyes."

　　 "It's like the status level is not enough, so many permissions are not open to me for the time being. The two are the same." Cassia asked.

"A proper and appropriate metaphor, you can understand it this way, although there are still some deviations." The man replied, "In my era, the differential engine has only just begun to be popularized in the country for a long time, and the analytical engine is more of a country. The supreme confidentiality was strictly managed. At that time, there were very few people who knew the passcard and the occlusal program between gears. And they knew that the words "privilege open" that circulated frequently in the differential engine and the analysis engine were only extremely rare. A few people."

　　 The man straightened his back, and the feeling on his body immediately became as sharp and sharp as a standing mountain. He rubbed his hands, as if it was cold, and then said, "Your life is much better now. It is a fast and comfortable train, and there is no need to use gas or quicklime lamps, and there is no need to work overtime. And it didn’t take long for the steam boiler to add coal. Time is indeed the best development tool. At that time, although we expected such a day to come, we did not expect it to be so beautiful."

　　 The man sighed a few words, and Cassia listened quietly.

"But a lot of things have changed, and some things are still the same. It is a miracle that the empire can stand strong for a thousand years under such circumstances. It must be a miracle. It can also be said that those families and forces who are really talented are born, otherwise Any time that the previous generation and the next generation can’t take over can lead them to the abyss of destruction. I remember that when I was a child, I heard my grandpa Sr. Roma tell me about the Mano Kingdom. The situation at that time was not at all. This is what it looks like." The man fell into his memory, "Manor Kingdom is in the surrounding hundreds of countries, and its national strength can only be regarded as a medium-to-higher country. It is not an outstanding country. At that time, the Common Ocean Country and the Flame Alliance have been established for a long time. Behind them are two other giant forces. In the face of threats from other countries around them, and the invisible oppression of the two giant forces on the Continent, it is not easy for the Mano Kingdom to be like the current empire." Man Speaking of this, I am a little bit self-deprecating, and my face under the firelight is also a little gloomy.

"I thought this pattern would last for a long time, but when a certain cold winter was about to arrive at night, a train brought something that changed the fate of the entire kingdom." Looking down at the light in the fire, the man looked at the card again. Xia glanced at it and said, "Do you know what it is?"

　　 "Dragon?" Cassia was uncertain.

"It's not all right." The man replied, "The train did indeed bring two dragons. It was just a few days after birth, that is, the young dragon who just broke out of its shell and gnawed out its own eggshell. He didn't even have his eyes. Open the complete one. But in order to catch them two, almost half of the army of the Mano Kingdom was sacrificed. When the commanders and officials found that their simple flares and cannons had no effect on these two creatures, When even a single scale on their bodies couldn’t be beaten down, they could only rely on their numerical advantage and desperately piled on the two dragons. Then, after almost two months, the army was on land. With the cooperation of the mobile unit and the simple propeller aircraft in the air, they followed the two flying young dragons and ran a small half of the southern forest of the Mano Kingdom. This was finally exhausted by the countless number and constant interference. physical strength

. Fortunately, it was a young dragon that had not been born for a few days. After being born, it only ate its own eggshell and a few human bodies. So there is almost no growth in the body, causing the eyes to still be their Achilles heel. Even if it is difficult, their hard skulls can make a hole with the drill at that time. So in the forest, the white matter removal operation was carried out smoothly, and they were also transported smoothly and safely back to the Manoma area, the center of the Mano Kingdom. Otherwise, don't know how many more people will die, and whether the young dragon can be safely transported back will become a huge puzzle. "

The man looked at Cassia who listened extremely seriously and smiled, "It is full of accidents. I only know these things through historical records, and I can't describe the scene completely and in detail. It's like a white matter removal operation. It was carried out by a medical scientist who followed the past. At first, everyone just wanted to tie them with an iron chain. At that time, even the big bear in the mountains couldn’t escape. Alloy chains with the thickness of arms. Not to mention the chains that the kingdom prepared for them were much thicker than adult thighs."

　　 "That's not all right?" Cassia asked after the man's words.

"Because there are three cargoes on the train. In addition to the two young dragons, there is one cargo." The man replied, "It was something that changed the Mano Kingdom together with the dragons, and its effect is opposite to the current dragons. The role of the empire has always been the same. That is the core of the first generation of analytical machines. At that time, it was transported to Manoma by train together, and Mano Wangnuo really had the rise and became the most basic capital of the current empire at that time. I'm just a kid who just started elementary school."

The man paused for a moment, thinking about something in his mind, sorting out the words he was going to say, "and it may be the credit of my grandfather old Roma. When I was a child, he planted and grew in my heart Later, I must enter the army and train my body to train the use of various weapons. He still doesn’t know where to find a real firecracker, and then through his modification, it reduces its power since Little huge recoil. From school home from school, and every week of rest, I took me to remote places to practice gun use and shooting skills. This is almost how I came from my childhood."

"Didn't you just say that the Manuo Kingdom lost most of its army power in order to catch the two young dragons." The man said in a questioning tone, but he continued without asking Cassia to answer. "The Manuo Kingdom is changing its name. After the Dorag Empire, it began to recruit soldiers on a large scale throughout the country, and expanded the number of troops without limit. The empire at that time was to supplement the number of wasted numbers on the one hand, and on the other hand, to make perfect preparations for the war that had already been decided. Originally, my grandfather Roma always wanted me to join the army. At that time, it happened to catch up with the unstoppable recruitment wave that had lasted for more than a decade. My grandfather was also very enthusiastic and gave his life savings to several officers at the time. I barely paved a bumpy road. I have never understood why Grandpa did this, and he still refuses to give up. This problem has been with me for many years. I didn't understand until long after he died..."

"I entered the army at the time, because my grandfather had trained me since I was a child, and my physical fitness and various skills were far superior to those of my peers, and my grandfather helped me pave a little road in front of me. But it’s definitely not bad. In peacetime, my promotion speed can be seen. And when my military career is slowly developing steadily, my grandpa is critically ill. He is not seriously ill, but he cannot resist time. Naturally, the decayed and died.” The man in front of him calmly told his story, “Of course he saw my grandfather for the last time. At that time, he was lying on the hospital bed, sucking oxygen, and watching me come back in a military uniform with my collar. The rank of Captain, I heard that after I was promoted to major recently, my face became very energetic, and my eyes were full of joy. He didn't look like a dying person at all. I wanted to talk to me alone because The relationship between our grandfather and grandson is very good. When the other family members went out, I saw the joy in my grandfather’s eyes turned into sadness. At that time, I had been in the army for six years, and the friction between the empire and the surrounding countries was also It gradually increased. I thought it was my grandpa worried that if the war broke out, I would be involved in the war and die. So I tried to comfort him and told him not to worry about anything. But grandpa cared

Not exactly this. "

"I remember when Grandpa closed his eyes, his whole body trembled because of something. I took his extremely thin hands, and the bones in the palms covered only with a layer of skin were so sharp that they seemed to cut my palms. Grandpa opened his eyes and looked at me as if tears of regret were coming out. There was indeed only endless regret in the already muddy eyes."

　　 At this time, the man sighed, and his mood also became depressed.

"At that time, my grandfather looked at me and said ~www.ltnovel.com~ his voice trembled, "Little Grote, I made a very wrong decision before. This may affect you, and even the family you are about to start. In the future, our little family will all be brought into the abyss that cannot be escaped. If you want to blame me, just scold me as much as you want. At the time I was still complacent about this decision, but now I regret it, I was completely wrong... 'Grandpa lost control of his emotions and finally passed out in a coma. Because of the military affairs, I went back the next day. Grandpa hasn't woken up since then. A week later, I received a notice of his death and I was sad. For a long time. When attending the funeral, I thought of what my grandpa said to me. At that time, I always thought that grandpa was because he let me into the army, and the war seemed to be coming. I was afraid that I would be involved in the war. I have great guilt and regret in my heart. Such thoughts have accompanied me for a long, long time, until I was promoted to colonel. At that time, I was almost middle-aged, and my family was formed. It was with other countries big and small. I also participated in and commanded a lot of war frictions. But the war that was supposed to be coming has not arrived, and my grandpa’s words were completely forgotten by me at the time. Until one day after many years, I was from the military department. An institution that hadn’t heard of found me and said that because I performed well and made a great contribution to the country, they wanted to reward me with something. You can think of this thing right away, right?" The man showed his face. Desolate.

　　 "It should be the first-generation surgery perfected in the empire." Cassia said, he already knew who the man in front of him was called "Little Grote" by his grandfather. He is the first generation of knight king in the empire-Grote Rom. (To be continued.)
