Steel steam and flame

"Don't worry yet. When the time comes, I believe that not only those doors, but also all other controllable openings, will open naturally." Cassia thought for a moment and responded.

At this time, looking outside the transparent glass of the central hall, the sky turned black, and the cirrus clouds were slowly moving toward the mountains on one side under the power of high-altitude hurricanes. The characteristics of autumn had not yet appeared, and the coldness of winter had already arrived early.

The surrounding sounds became louder and louder, and a large number of people poured in from several entrances and exits, making the venue even more lively.

The waiters were busy replacing empty plates, putting away empty bottles, and bringing in freshly baked food. The food is filled with steaming hot and aromatic aromas. The high-end drinks for the party were also brought in box by box, supplying the much-needed quantity.

Cassia and Lina separated after a brief conversation and walked towards unfamiliar places inside the hall, memorizing the weak points and breakthrough points here and preparing for the commotion that would happen in a while. At the same time, they were also looking for Franli's shadow, and Silla should be following him.

The influx of a large number of people made the venue slightly crowded. Cassia apologized and squeezed through the crowd in front. Just coming out of the crowd filled with all kinds of smells, Cassia's eyes turned around for a moment, showing surprise.

He saw a woman, Delya whom he had met in the trading building. She wore an elegant party dress that looked smart. Her face was cold and serious, without any smile, and her whole body exuded the aura of being out of bounds.

Delia seemed to be in a daze, holding a tall glass filled with more than half of the red wine in her hand. She stood motionless, looking at a certain point in the air in front of her for a long time without any sign of moving her gaze. Cassia looked at her many times, and she did not notice the undisguised gaze at all, but only blinked occasionally.

Cassia, who retracted her gaze, walked behind Delya in a few steps and focused her attention on the layout of the observation hall again.

Before walking too far, the music that was ringing in my ears suddenly stopped, as if a snow-white waterfall falling to the ground suddenly stopped. The water foam in the air was no longer there, the roar of the impact was no longer there, and the white horse in front of me was no longer there, leaving only the moist Bare rock.

This is exactly what happened in the lobby. As the music in the speakers disappeared, silence quickly spread among the crowd. Everyone consciously remained silent. When looking around to see the situation, they all looked behind them at the place where more than a dozen lights converged.

It was a stage two or three meters high, covered with a golden carpet and with bright flowers on both sides. The light made it white, and the colors of the carpet and flowers became unrealistic under the light.

The top executives of the Imperial Mining Company were all standing on top at this moment, with young and old faces mixed together, including Franli's smiling face. And Linna's sister Silla was standing behind him, with a beautiful face peeking out from the not-too-crowded crowd. Her eyes looked through the gaps between several heads at the crowd in front of her, looking for some familiar face.

"Good evening, everyone. I'm glad that everyone can arrive at the Black Castle on time today to attend the upcoming party..." The person holding the microphone speaking was the general manager of the Imperial Mining Company in Brino, that is, Frangli. 's father.

This standard set of polite words was spoken for a long time, and the names of the Three Primary Color Group, Golden Bank and other forces were also introduced one by one, and a special trip was made to express gratitude for their arrival. Then there was a long and affectionate speech, and Cassia, who was standing next to the loudspeaker, even felt the spittle spraying out of Franli's father's mouth. He looked at the time and saw that half an hour had passed. The people around him were listening attentively, and Cassia now missed the simplicity of the dances held in the military school and seminary. Although it was expressed in form and process, Cassia found that her patience was getting lower and lower now.

Finally, when the last note that shook the eardrums completely disappeared into the air, a burst of warm applause erupted in the entire spacious hall, like a sudden swell of flames, which lasted for a long time and tended to burn more and more intensely.

After the applause gradually subsided, Frangli's father picked up the microphone and said a few words. Finally, he handed over the right to speak to Frangli next to him and stepped aside.

Frangli couldn't speak as well as his father. After a few simple greetings and thanks, the band looked at his gestures and played the music again, and the party officially began at this moment.

The surrounding noisy sounds clustered among the crowd like mist, and the air was hot and noisy, just like the spring apiary introduced in the book. Cassia paid attention to the time, it was a little after 6:30 in the evening.

The senior executives of the Tai Empire Mining Company came down one after another and talked with those from the Three Primary Color Group and the Holy Emperor Hall again. Frangli also followed his father, and was introduced to the relevant persons in charge of the major forces in Brino by his father.

Without any surprises, Imperial Mining Company's business in Blino should be slowly taken over by Franry. On the grapevine, the news spread widely that Franli's father would soon be transferred to the headquarters. In everyone's opinion, this party specially held with Franli as the protagonist contained too much of his father's intention to help him gain a foothold in Brino.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, he immediately became the center of attention. Many leaders of various forces and beautifully dressed women who had been waiting aside for a long time were ready to go over and chat with him. They could talk a lot without asking for it, but at least it would be a good choice to have a familiar face at this party and leave a superficial impression. But due to the row of smiling senior officials from the major forces, they could only wait quietly.

There were more people surrounding him, and most of their faces could not express their disdain. Looking at these people who want to lose face is like looking at the flies flying "buzzing" next to the dung heap. Not only did it not help anything, it actually highlighted the stench emanating from the pile of feces.

Silla followed Franli closely at this time, pressing her lips tightly the whole time, with only a trace of a smile on her face.

Cassia and Linna squeezed into the crowd at the same time and approached Franli. But due to the same reason, they could only wait quietly aside and look at Franli who was surrounded by the crowd from a distance.

Based on Cassia's experience in the waterway in the afternoon, she knew that Franli had superior perception. Even though there are countless eyes looking at Franli now, they still carefully control their eyes not to stay on Franli for too long.

Cassia also reminded Linna that it was best to completely ignore Silla's existence at the party. Silla is right next to Fran, and the subtle changes in her body can hardly escape Fran's perception. Maybe Franli knew that Lina would attend the party, but they couldn't take the initiative to reveal that they were really here. This defeats their purpose.

Then, they only need to find where the signal generator of the mini-bomb corresponding to Sheila is.
