Steel Steam and Flame

The room is spacious and quiet, and Lyle's words have echoed slightly, which may have something to do with the empty space in the room.

There is only a table and a chair, wooden products, dark paint, and plenty of cold light from the lamps, which can only show the details of the strong metal cane on the tabletop.

He put down the book and was silent for a few seconds before it seemed to come out of the content of the book, took the photos, and flipped through them one by one.

"The day when Miss Shake painted these patterns on the window, it was the time for the annual important lecture hall in the Imperial History School'Acto's Lecture Classroom'. It was close to the evening. After the lecture hall, Miss Shake went directly back to the single person. In the dormitory, dinner is as usual, with coffee and bread prepared at noon. These patterns are drawn after 11 o'clock in the evening, which is her habitual rest time."

Lyle added the corresponding information when he looked at the photos as a usable basis for analysis.

"The surrounding protection has been increased, and four skilled assassins have been arranged to patrol the surroundings in turn. If there is danger, abnormal situations can be found more quickly." Lyle reported all the information he knew and the preparations he had done. Take a step back, stand quietly and wait.

"It's snowing in Manoma?" He looked at the photo of snowflakes on the window, and asked with a soft voice, even with a smile, "This year, the cold wave arrived in Manoma earlier than the previous year."

"It's been a few days." Lyle thought, "On this day of the last year, there should be only cold wind. If it is a few years earlier, it would be suitable to go out at night to enjoy the night view."

After the simple snowflake photo, there is a simpler smiley face pattern. After that, there will be childlike graffiti of unknown meaning, as if Sha Ke is releasing the backlog of emotions in her heart in her own way. At the end of the photo, there are smiling faces big and small in a window. Through these smiling faces, you can see Shake's own barely smiling face.

He picked out random graffiti and photos with Sha Ke's barely smiling face and placed them on the desktop. He pointed to the picture with a "barely smiling" face and motioned to Lyle to look at it.

"From the facial expression, it looks reluctant. In fact, from the corners of the mouth and eyes, there is joy in her heart." Lyle gave the answer after thinking. Observation and interpretation is a compulsory course for assassins or agents. This allows them to know the status of the target so that they can move on to the next step.

He then pointed to the random graffiti and said, "This is a strange text, and you have learned this in the courses that you have added in recent years. There are two ways to interpret it, one is the meaning of the strange text itself. One is based on its pronunciation."

Recalling these complicated words quickly in his head, Lyle immediately found a way to interpret it, but he was puzzled when he said the imperial language corresponding to the pronunciation of the strange words.

"contact me?"

He put away the photo, closed the book again, got up, took his cane, and looked at the dim sky outside the window. A cloud of lead-colored snow lay looming, shaking: "Get ready to go back to Manoma, I'll be alone at six in the afternoon. I'll be ready at the same time for the return journey. During the round trip, let my stand-in come out."

Seeing Lyle replied and thought, his tone of horror was relaxed: "The joy that Miss Shake showed on the photo reminds me of some things."

"Lyle, in an operation a few years ago, did you remember that Miss Shake had a pistol hidden in a book?"

"The clip-on pistol uses ordinary gunpowder bullets and has a very small caliber. Even Miss Shake, who only needs to exercise her arm strength in daily life, can ignore its recoil." Lyle replied from a professional perspective. "The person who provided this pistol is very familiar with Miss Shake's situation, has an understanding of firearms, and made a rational choice."

"Afterwards, through Miss Shake’s identity and background, a detailed investigation was conducted. The source of the pistol was not found, and the possibility that the pistol was provided by her grandfather Du Lisen was close to zero. Finally, a conclusion was reached that Miss Shake came from the pistol. I only got it after Manoma. But who provided it, there is still no accurate answer yet."

Nodding in horror, the smile on his face increased, as if someone else said the answer already in his head, which was a second confirmation of his own guess.

"When was the pistol found?" Hae gave the prompt again.

Lyle let out a sigh of relief afterwards: "Master, there are still three hours before 6 pm, I will carefully arrange your itinerary to and from Manoma, and do your job as a substitute during the time you leave here. arrange."

After the shock, he sighed with a smile: "The conjecture a few years ago has only now been answered with a definite answer. The time span is indeed fascinating."

The two walked out of the empty house together.

The horrified words continued: "Recently, the situation in the frontiers of the empire has increased the level of surveillance. Lyle, you need to pay special attention. I will contact Miss Iyetta, and return to Manoma to meet her secretly as a cover for this trip. ."

"I see, Master." Lyle nodded behind him. "It has been more than two years. The Holy Royal Hall, the King's Faction, the Three Primary Colors and the Imperial Mineral Source Company, and even our own family, still refuse to give up any existence. A chance of hope. And this will also have a certain impact on your status and promotion, Young Master."

The horror didn’t care at all, with a touch of indifferent: "This time the coming red star has a special meaning for the family elders, it will be a revolution. They know that if they can’t seize the opportunity, they can’t choose the right one at the right time. Position, after the war, they will not have the opportunity to go to the tundra and freeze their lives, they can only become corpses."

"It's afraid, it's because they feel the power and urgency of the times. If they don't take effective actions, perhaps the war is not over, they will have their own results."

"If Mr. Macquarie of the Kira Andi family can stop the action of the contemporary knight king of the empire and slow down the death time of the holy fathers in the Holy Royal Hall, even if the time is delayed by two to three years, The situation at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will also be completely different from now. The death of the Fathers has indeed awakened the old people of various family forces."

There are regrets and regrets in the horrible words: "I think Mr. Macquarie must have tried his best to fight, but facing the knight royal patriarch of Kira Andy, he does not have the qualifications to disobey. If those old people are immersed in the strong empire The more time in the fortress dream, the subsequent changes may be simpler."

The two went to the end of the corridor, and stood there with horror: "Remember to remove the protection added by Miss Shake, that is the only blind spot that cannot be discovered by everyone." He laughed, "Mr. Cassia no matter when , Can always bring surprises to people. He used his actions and time-span results to tell us that a place with gentle sunshine in his heart can indeed bring good luck and unexpected gains."

Hae separated from Lyle here and went to the usual study. He put down his cane and sword, poured a cup of warm water and drank it.

"You made us wait a little longer, Mr. Cassia. I don't know how long it will take to meet you again."
