Steel steam and flame

A large number of things were piled together, and the girl finally showed a very helpless look. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her hair was tied into a bundle by a pink rubber band. The length was not very long and hung down her back. She also wore a pair of glasses that were just right for her age, with pink frames as well, which seemed to be her favorite color.

I took a large basket from the tool room that was isolated on the side and threw all the garbage and sundries into it. By the time the outside of the house was cleaned, it was almost halfway through the morning. There was no one around. Most people had been excited all night and were still lying in bed sleeping.

Although there was a light snowfall yesterday, the thin layer of clouds in the sky did not fade much. This is a port city. Because of the trade on the sea and convenient transportation, it is considered one of the prosperous regional cities in the empire. But the girl had no feeling for this kind of prosperity. She looked away from the sky and sighed heavily again. It seems to be lamenting the weather, and it also seems to be saying that the area outside is finally cleaned up.

Clapping her hands, the girl pushed her eyes that were about to fall down, and walked into the house full of helplessness. Just a few steps inside, there is a wide hall. There is still a lively atmosphere unique to the New Year, but in the girl's eyes, these are just things that make her feel heavy. New Year or something like that doesn't have much appeal to her. Compared with these, the small words in those books are far better than anything in the New Year. Whether it's a gift or a generous amount of change.

Everyone in the family was still sleeping, and she felt that she must have made a wrong decision by getting up so early.

"Shaco, it's so early!" A gentle voice came from behind the girl. It was an old man with mostly white hair, about seventy or eighty years old. Even though there was heating in the hall, he still wore a thick cotton jacket. The man looked very energetic, holding a rather large cup with half a glass of wine in his hand.

"Good morning, Grandfather Dullisen." The girl known as Shaco stopped what she was doing and looked at the old man standing at the end of the hall on the second floor. After saying hello, she started looking at the hall again. Clean.

"I'm so energetic on the second day of the New Year." Old Man Dullisen said as he drank a few sips of wine. This has been his habit for many years, "Once the New Year is over, time will pass quickly. It is now the end of January, and soon, various schools in the empire will start a new semester. My lovely Granddaughter Shaco is also going to a new school."

After saying this, he looked reluctant, but there was a smile on Old Man Du Lisen's face. As an old professor at a top school in this port city, he has a strong tolerance for such things.

"Shaco, do you still insist on your original decision? Your parents are opposed to it. You also know their temper. They said they would not give you tuition and living expenses. They will definitely do it. I live with them. We have been together longer than you, so these things can still be foreseen. And you also have younger brothers and sisters. Once you leave here, if you want to see them, you will only have the chance to wait until a long vacation. "

"There are also good schools here, and I also work there, so I can give you more help. In my opinion, Manoma is not an excellent choice. Although the two schools in the empire are the best The schools are all there, but the admission notice you received this time is not one of them, right? From their affiliated schools, it is indeed possible to enter those two schools, but for people like us, I can only tell you that our chances are almost non-existent. The people the empire currently lacks don’t seem to be our kind.”

Du Lisen tried his best to choose good words. Shako is only eighteen years old now and has read many books, but most of them are about history and paleontology. There is very little real knowledge of the empire. For such a rare granddaughter who has a good temperament, Du Lisen certainly loves and protects her very much. He himself is already this age, and his understanding of the empire is of course much deeper than that of Shake. He didn't want Shaco to get involved in anything bad, especially Manoma, who was the center of the empire's whirlpool.

In his eyes, it seemed prosperous, but there were unimaginable dangers hidden in it. That's not something you can get away with just by saying I'll be careful. It is like a monster with tentacles, and as long as it passes by, it can completely suck in the danger of anyone passing by.

"Shaco, you should think more about it. I have promised you anything in the past, but in this case, I think you really need to be prepared to be completely rejected. Not just your parents, but me too. The place is different from what you imagined. The gap is very big. If you just go there to have a look and play for a few days, I think anyone can agree to this request. But to study there..."

Du Lisen sighed before continuing: "That's not a place where people like us should stay. Speaking of prosperity, this place is indeed a little worse than Manoma. But I think, for you, Shaco, the regional Prosperity or not, the necessity and demand are not that great. After all, all you ask for is endless books and a small room."

After Du Lisen finished speaking, he shook his head. Seeing Shaco down on the second floor just cleaning the hall with her head down, he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth at this time. Knowing that there was no need to rush the matter, he saw with his own eyes how happy Sha Ke was when he got the admission notice.

You still have to give her some time to accept it. Doolittle thought.

"I can go through the admission procedures at any time." Du Lisen said this while quietly watching Shake cleaning the hall upstairs and going back to his room.

After his grandfather left, Shaco raised his head without any expression on his face. She had already made a plan in her heart, and she had decided on this matter long ago. So no matter what other people say, it won't have a big impact on her.

"The time is not far away." With these last words, Shaco took the cleaning tools and worked harder to clean the hall.

The goods have been transferred. Much as Cassia and Delya predicted, many heavy trucks still have some space left on them. They are not greedy. Compared with the transportation costs of heavy trucks, this trip is obviously a profit for them.

Dozens of heavy trucks followed Delya's originally planned route and headed back to their large warehouse in Manoma overnight. The two heavy trucks equipped with steel cans were driven by Cassia and Delya themselves.

"How long does it take for several squad leaders to start taking action?" The light is dimming, and it will be night soon. On the heavy truck, Cassia was driving the car himself at the moment, Delia was sitting next to him, and Waters was also in the cab.

"The sooner the better. We can inform them. It's best not to leave the body behind. Take it back and process it together." Cassia said, with an indescribable taste in her mouth. When he first entered the military school, he thought he would never become a person like Li and Kara, but now it seems that this change has always unfolded unintentionally. "Waters, as a few of us in the team, I'm leaving it to you."

"No problem." Waters said with a smile on his face.
