Steel Steam and Flame

　　 Then there was a cloud-like silence in the sky. The color of the broken cloud layer was changing from grayish white to dark black representing the storm. The Gerun Oasis will soon receive huge rainfall that they have not seen in decades. Rain in the center of the arid desert.

　　 Li lowered his head and never said a word. Cassia stood in front of him, feeling that time passed very slowly, because he felt that he was close to the core of the matter for the first time. Many of the things he knows and cognitions in books are written by those who rule and have power hired others.

　　History has always been written by the winners, because the losers are all dead. The Saint Dorag Empire has passed through for a thousand years, not counting his predecessor, the Mano Kingdom. Regarding the control of words and books, the protection of the authority and the noble lineage, and the control and utilization of the lower humans, no one knows what degree it has reached.

　　 Cassia suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him was not real. Why did he like steam machinery so much? Maybe it was because only cold steel would not deceive his eyes. They represent the truth at all times. There are no deceitful feelings, no hidden emotions, and no reason to lie. Some are just bolts full of spirals, and they never stop until they fail. Scrapped gears.

"Then how did you come in?" Lee spoke again, his smiling face was finally perfectly hidden, and now he is a serious and thinking face, "I mean the reason you came to the military school? If it is simply because Yearning can come in. This is not the reason why you can come to the military school. No one will pay for your vision. Just like the begging people on the street want to live the aristocratic human life they envy, they are just delusions."

"I don't know, but I am really full of yearning for the military school, because there is no tuition fee, and there is a monthly subsidy. Its reputation and signature will allow me to find an excellent job after graduation." Card Xia’s voice was so calm that he was surprised, "As for the others, nothing else. By the way, my knowledge of military school is limited to the introduction mentioned in the book, and the rest are the training plans of the 23rd major public families. , I don’t know at all."

"Mr. Cassia, this is not the reason for you to shirk, nor the reason for your evasion. Your words and emotions have begun to want to leave the relationship with us and the military school. But this is impossible. "Lee reminded Cassia, "You can't say that when we walked out of the shadow of the building and entered the sunlight, it is the same as entering the light world. The shadow is always behind you. You can use everything. To deal with troubles, but evasion is not the way to solve the problem. Besides, you don’t even know what the fundamental problem is. Don’t let others despise you so much, Mr. Cassia, if the kitten has blown up his hair, it can be used. Things that bite people’s throats, besides, you are not a kitten, but you are a person with a wolf hiding inside."

"Although you don't want to be a beast yourself, there are some things that you can't do. I don't want to do tasks, and I don't want to go to any school to study. I just want to play happily, but these things don't pay, but no one wants to give you free "Lee said, and then patted the snow-white forehead. There were a few scattered golden hairs falling down. "Sorry, it became a preaching accidentally. In fact, I also hate this. It is something everyone has already understood. Reason. But Mr. Cassia, I have not seen from you the basic consciousness to understand these truths."

　　Li sighed, but Cassia's heart trembled. He still missed his life in the small town. Although he was oppressed by those noble merchants, he has been used to it for more than five years. And when he went to the steam factory, he was only thirteen years old. Although his mind grew very fast, it had many defects.

"Military schools are not institutions that can enter only by longing and yearning. If you are really civilians, including military schools, including seminaries, some of their many affiliated schools are those real civilians. The peak is reached. It is like schools like Imperial Heavy Industry and Agriculture, because these insignificant things are not worth the effort of those in high positions to manipulate, these things cannot be shaken, or they can threaten their rights and status. ."

Li looked at Cassia's indifferent eyes and continued: "Mr. Cassia, power is an addictive thing. Once mastered, if you want to let people go, you can only accompany life and blood. The foundation under the Iron Throne It’s all buried with dead bones. This is the status quo of the power struggle. And because of the growth of the foundation of the Iron Throne, the price it has to pay to climb it may not have been calculated."

　　 Cassia is still indifferent, standing straight. This is the effect of training in the military school for three months, and it has already been integrated into his body without knowing it. His eyes are as calm as water, but there are still rippling ripples in them.

"Then I have a few questions, Mr. Cassia. The first one. The empire has been established for more than a thousand years, but the prince of the empire has always been twenty-three, and it has never changed. Don’t you think it’s strange? ?" Lee's smile returned to his face again.

"The title of Duke was specially awarded by the first emperors and kings of the Saint-Dorrag Empire for the great people who contributed to the country after the establishment of the empire, and it is hereditary." Cassia carried a sentence in the textbook, "Yes After the accumulation of the first generation, if the second generation can work hard, gain a firm foothold and pass it on to this day, it will be impossible."

"Yes, Mr. Cassia still seems to know." Lee said, "So this is the reason. After the death of the first generation of real Patriarchs, how do they stick to their position and not be replaced by someone who suddenly appears in the future? Or how can we not let more people stand on an equal footing with them while ensuring their position and power? Resources are limited, and the throne of steel is so big. The gap between all things They are all contrasted. If everyone has everything, then it must be the cheapest thing, like life. Power and status can also lead to the same truth. I said that they are addictive."

　　 "So they united?" Cassia asked.

"Exactly, Mr. Cassia, you guessed it right." Lee clapped his hands and said, "Decades later, when the first generation of families have all died, when the first generation of holy emperors and kings also died, when the empire When everyone’s faces were almost refurbished, they, who had no prestige, wanted to continue to stand on the top~www.ltnovel.com~ want to continue to exercise the convenience of power, want to continue to wait for the high number of people but do not want to be new People who reached the top, what should they do? They tried a lot of methods, and finally found that they can only work together. So they signed an agreement, and it continues to this day."

　　 "Agreement?"

"An agreement that can be summed up in a few simple sentences-the 23rd major family can only be terminated by the 23rd major family; if one of the 23rd major family is in danger, the other families must help; If a family wants to withdraw from the agreement, it must be agreed by the other 22 families," Li said.

　　 "A contradictory agreement." Cassia responded to Lee's words.

　　 "Yes, it is because of contradictions that it can exist for so long. The perfect things are only for pursuit." Li Xiao, "The second question, can unite guarantee the consolidation of status?"

　　 "No, the country will die over time. For families that depend on the country, the demise of the country is their end."

"But the empire has not fallen, but it has become more prosperous in the future, so although this statement is valid, it is not useful now." Lee responded. There were only two of them in the small garden, and the light began to dim. "It is related to power. In addition to money, there is another important point."

　　 "Power."

　　 "No, power and someone who can be controlled and can use power accurately may be more suitable." The corner of his mouth raised.

"So there is the Saint-Dorague Military School." There was no emotional fluctuation in Cassia's voice.
