The train is full of minerals, most of which have only undergone primary refining, and there are many impurities inside. A very small part is melted and solidified into lumps after refining. Such minerals are placed inside the carriage on a solid iron plate, next to each other, leaving a little space between the car roof.

The four of Cassia and Linna climbed onto the train, and now they are in such a space. They are only allowed to bend over and stand upright.

Sheila sighed from the side, and she unavoidably bumped into the carriage. The inconvenience of her feet increased the danger factor of the whole team a lot. She propped herself up and leaned aside. There were no windows or basic lamps. Only the skylight opened by Cassia fell into a patch of dark light, so that the surrounding scenery could barely be seen. Delya and Linna also leaned back like Sheila, breathing in the silent air to rest.

Cassia lay alone on the side, her fatigue and injuries quickly healed with the effects of a few tubes of tranquilizers. The original injury was not serious, and he experienced a series of things in the dragon's stomach bag. After the body and spirit calmed down together, the organs and tissues in Cassia's body also completely changed irreversibly. Everything is moving in a good direction, the feeling in his body tells him this. But I don’t know if it’s a good thing. The understanding of surgery continues to deepen. You don’t have to finish the fifth stage, it may be on the way. Whether it is the singular whale or the dragon surgeon, it is out of the scope of human beings. Right. He was afraid that he would become a monster. Seeing that kind of dragon in the underground square, the power is indeed huge, but maybe no one will feel yearning in his heart.

Perhaps it wasn't that Cassia opened her eyes for fear of becoming a monster, but she was afraid that she would never be able to go back after she changed. He thought this way. Looking at the gray sky outside through the gap of the skylight, the speed of this heavy-duty train will reach the gray area in four or five days. After dealing with Linna and Sheila there, he will take a few days' airship back to Manoma and return to the military school.

There is another thing to deal with before going back to school, which is about Delya. Cassia wanted to find a place to settle her, to be precise, to find something she could do.

The night after Sheila woke up, Cassia discussed with Linna and decided to admit Delya to the "team". Linna will not stay in the gray area for long. After finding a mechanic to make a prosthesis for Sheila's foot, she will go back to the Flame Alliance and start from scratch. The chaos in the gray zone does bring many opportunities to people, but with it, there are many times more destruction.

Delya did not understand the language of the Flame Alliance, and had no intention of going to a country outside the Empire. So I can only follow Cassia. It's unclear how her original plan was.

Cassia didn't know what to do for the time being, and wanted to hand over Delya to Yejielin after returning to Manoma. After thinking about it for a lot of time, I gave it up. He has the idea of ​​forming his own power, but just like he wanted to build his own steam processing factory when he was in the small town, these are absolutely in the bud. Of course, the Knight Order is also a good choice. In many large companies or noble families, their successors will follow their own loyal Knight Order. But that kind of knight order has changed its flavor. In other words, it is called a private army, which may be more in line with the nature of most knight orders. Observing the inherited chivalry spirit, the kind of knighthood that everyone gathered together because of something and developed together is no longer seen in the soil like the empire.

It's never too late to think about it when you get to Manoma. This problem caused Cassia a headache, and after this mission, he might have to sign a lot of agreements. The advanced theory courses that coach Bei Qi has been talking about should also be opened. The number of people selected for the two tasks is enough. While the Empire needs high-quality students, a basic number must be guaranteed.

Not long after I went back, the winter vacation, which only happens once a year, is also coming. Cassia took a deep breath, suddenly came out of her own thinking, looking to her side, Linna and the others had fallen asleep in the cradle caused by the slight shaking of the train. He exhaled until Linna woke up from her rest, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Is your spirit always so good?" Linna moved and stretched out her hand. The soft curves of the body seemed to have the characteristic of bending, which were revealed in the dim and brighter light. The train was indeed moving forward, leaving the drizzle in the mountains.

Cassia shook her head and sighed.

"There are still a few days in the gray area, and no one is chasing me. Most of the time I can watch and you can rest at ease."

"Enough is enough, not all the injuries on the body can be recovered by closing the eyes." Linna also sighed like Cassia, exhaling the breath in her chest completely, and her body was indeed relaxed. Has anyone told you?"

Linna asked: "You feel too gentle as a person. You will put others' trust in you as a responsibility on yourself, and the weight will be doubled without knowing it, and the rewards for others will not be considered at all. "

Cassia tilted her head and looked at Linna's pretty face.

"But even so, I still like it!" Linna smiled, folded her hands and fingers together, placed them on her lap, and stared at Cassia. "It is rare to see scarce things, and the skin is so white that women Compared with the envious man and the woman with the bronze dagger, the strength may be the same, and it is a little bit more powerful. But in terms of thinking, you will be too much worse. This cannot be sustained, and your body cannot stop it. Bullets, not everyone will pay for your gentleness."

"I also know..." Cassia wanted to refute.

"Let me say it!" Linna increased her tone a little, Delya and Sheila who were sleeping beside them moved their bodies at this time, but did not wake up.

Cassia and Linna held their breath and stopped talking for a while. When the sound of steady breathing sounded in the carriage again, Linna continued with what she said, but her tone had already dropped.

"I said, knowing is not enough. Everyone knows that bullets pierce their heads, and they have taken many, many protective measures. But how many people are hit by bullets every day? The Flame Alliance also has yours. The school, everyone is a genius selected from a large area, all aspects of knowledge, skills, inside stories, potential rules, etc., are all clear. Just like your school, now these people are selected from everywhere. How much is still alive? Knowing is different from doing what you know. It's not the same thing. We strangers are not ordinary people!" Linna emphasized again.

"The people and forces we are in contact with right now may not do anything to you because of your gentleness, because they are all in the beginning, and the interests in their hands are completely dispensable. But in the future, when the interests gradually increase, a little You can fight between the big forces. The way you are now, you will definitely die halfway." Linna's voice became sharp, and the last few words were spoken word by word.

Cassia lowered her head, touched the hair that was wet by the rain and not yet dried, and said nothing.

"But no matter what ~www.ltnovel.com~Thank you, about Sheila." The time between the two froze for a while, and Linna's tone returned to soft.

"No need..." Cassia said. The wind from the skylight blew inside, but he still felt the surrounding air was stuffy.

"Actually, I should apologize for Sheila's feet. It was not an accident caused by horror. It was the result I expected." Cassia looked at Linna, and she closed her eyes to rest. Of course, I didn't say this. Like most of the words in the past, and most of the words in the future, it will completely rot in the stomach until it rots and is covered with black mold.

The speed of the heavy-duty train has been maintained, and there is no station for it to stop in the rolling mountains. The super vapor compression device on the body is also the last generation developed by the Empire Avalon. The water loss rate is not as terrible as an airship, and there is no need to stop to add water along the road.

In the afternoon of the next day, it finally cleared. The golden sunlight falling from the skylight was quite heavy. Four people squeezed together to occupy a corner, enjoying the rare temperature in this light.

The weather continued in the next few days, and the sky at night was wide open, bright as within reach, and a corner of the moon was as clear as immersed in water. Full of stars, the gray Milky Way spread out, as delicate as quicksand, flowing slowly.
