Cassia was driven out by the administrator while holding several thick books. He went from the first carriage to the last carriage, but there was no sign of Noel in each carriage.
He stood dazedly in front of the heavy train, surrounded by crowds of people. People who came to Manoma from all over the empire were looking at the magnificent steel forest city in front of them in daze and admiration. The nobles and wealthy businessmen were already riding in various types of vehicles.
Various limo cars left.
Everyone came to Manoma with smiles of happiness and shock, and full of ambition. Only Cassia felt as if a piece of his heart had been cut off with a sharp knife, and he felt full of loss. He felt that he was a being.
The kitten abandoned by its owner stood in a dark stormy night without lights. Only lightning and thunder could briefly illuminate the surrounding scenery hidden in the darkness. He was cold and hungry, and his heart continued to shed tears. His arms already had his own warmth.
A fully loaded pistol cannot bring you any sense of security.
Cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, which was because he was panicking.
"Hello, have you ever seen such a girl? That is,,,,,,"
"Mr. Administrator, have you seen a girl who is alone,,,,,,"
"Sir, when you are sitting here, have you seen a girl with light blonde hair who is alone? That's it..."
The time lasted until the afternoon, and the imperial train slowly drove away, but there was still no news about the little girl.
Everyone just covered their hands to breathe in the heat, and then shook their heads with doubtful expressions.
"No."
"No."
It seems like I am back to the time when I asked Noel’s name.
"What's your name?"
"Noer." He replied repeatedly. I was also so impatient at that time.
But when she thought of the look of attachment in the girl's clear black eyes, Cassia only felt the tenderness of a big cat taking care of a kitten.
The sun has not yet appeared today and is slowly setting again.
It's not that Nuo'er left, but that he was abandoned. He didn't know when this idea suddenly appeared in his mind. He felt even more uncomfortable inside, and inexplicable emotions surged and fermented. The order of his life seemed to have been rearranged.
Back on track.
"Hey, brother, it'll be too late if you don't leave!" Someone said next to him.
Cassia looked over and saw that the speaker was still very young. His face was very tanned, his teeth were white, he was skinny, and he had a nice smile on his face.
"Are you going to the Imperial Heavy Industry School? I noticed you when I came here to pick up people this morning. Your appearance is also very eye-catching. After looking at you a few times, I saw your notice.
If you don't leave, you'll miss the registration time. These schools in Manoma don't accept latecomers. It's getting dark. I've just returned and I have to go back to the west of Manoma. I'll give you an advantage this time, fifty saints.
How are the coins?"
Seeing that Cassia was in a trance and didn't reply, the man continued: "Brother, you are not an aristocratic businessman. I already knew that you are a commoner. How about forty? Get in the car quickly, and we will start the car as soon as you are seated.
The car is as fast as the wind, and the safety is guaranteed. It will never roll over and will take you directly to the gate of the Imperial Heavy Industries School. I pick up a lot of people like you every year, and they all say yes!"
"Come! Come! I'll help you carry your luggage." The coachman was so enthusiastic that Cassia felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but thinking of her ultimate purpose of coming to Manoma, Nuoer's matter was still deeply buried at this moment.
In my heart.
This is a simple steam locomotive, with no shield, no soft seats, or even a body frame. It has only a simple motor frame with a thick layer of steel plates welded on it. The steel plate is made of wooden boards and iron nails.
A simple car seat.
"Little brother, don't be dissatisfied. Although the car is ugly, the work is good! You can ask the experienced drivers here if there are any quality problems with my Lemo car. Not only is the car good, but the service is also the most considerate." Lemer looked around and said, "Don't look at those beautiful limousines saying 'Dear Sir, Madam' or anything like that. In fact, as long as you are not a big noble, they might be scolding you. I have seen them scold you."
Get up and be like us."
Laimer patted his chest in assurance, and then turned on the various steam valve switches on the driver's seat, of course, if that could be called a driver's seat. Then thick clouds of steam came out steadily from the rear of the car, and four
The rubber wheels rolled up and ran onto the smooth road paved with steel and rock cement, heading towards the steel jungle outside the station.
In the VIP room of the station, this is a room where you can see the appearance of the entire station and the flow of people. At this moment, the girl is standing quietly on the fragrant wood table used to make up for her lack of height, looking at the platform where people are surging. There is a silence behind her.
Standing quietly was a line of people, wearing rimmed black top hats and high-collared black windbreakers, with the collars raised up to just below the earlobes. Their entire faces were skillfully hidden under the dim light. Underneath the windbreakers, they were extremely simple and plain.
He is wearing light-colored white gloves and black boots that have been deliberately blunted so that they will not reflect any strong light.
The door was opened silently, and two people in the same clothes walked in. There was no trace of human breath or warmth. Even walking on the installed oak floor, they did not make any footsteps that normal humans should make. "Captain Eilenor, the matters announced by Valoka and the school have been dealt with." The two men stood behind the girl and said respectfully, holding several bulging black thick plastic bags in their hands. "Need.
Have you seen it, leader?"
"No need, just throw it into the furnace." The girl still looked at the flow of people passing by in front of the station and said calmly. She couldn't tell how tired she was. Her eyes were filled with the starry night sky that had regained its vitality.
In the night sky, the steam locomotive left the station and was swallowed up by the steel jungle.

"Go back. I don't want to be used as a tool anymore. I want to ban the current patriarch of the Chilaandi family, my father Tovilast Chilaandi. By the way, I also want to ban the people in the family elders' association.
Reorganize it, there are still many things to do, and you will be very busy in the future." The girl's voice was full of dignity. She wore the rough-modified shoes and jumped off the table lightly. A pile of war weapons shrouded in a black windbreaker behind her also quietly
Silent, hidden in the bustling city.
Manoma is a steel rose created by bolts and rivets, and a huge forest of marble pointed domes. Under the talent and imagination of countless top designers and artists, combined with the dexterous hands of architects and the unparalleled power of steam, the two
They are like twin babies who have a tacit understanding and complement each other.
The majestic buildings that require you to look up deeply to see the top ushered in the night in the city early. High-pressure mercury lamps on the roadside flickered and slowly lit up, illuminated by colorful neon lights and billboards decorated with countless small light bulbs.
The seductive and seductive colors make her look like a woman in gorgeous dance makeup. The things used to prop up the facade and attract customers really cost a lot of money.
Of course, although the popularity of electrical appliances in Manoma has reached 100%, the pipes transporting steam can still be seen in rooms with open windows.
This is the first time Cassia has seen such a city. In the small town at the foot of Lilac Peak, the most magnificent building is probably the Great Cathedral, which is only visited once every New Year. It is built of snow-white marble.
Something. But in this area that is clustered like a forest of buildings, it can only be regarded as ordinary.
Cassia looked up at the new world she was about to enter and live in, and the feeling of loss in her heart was somewhat relieved.
Reimer saw that Cassia's mood had improved a little, and her eyes were flashing with various lights. He also adjusted the valve and slowed down the steam locomotive.
"Brother, don't be surprised. This is still the outermost layer. There is also a layer of transitional urban buildings inside, and the innermost part is the core of Manoma. If you have time in the future, you can also go and see it alone. But Laimer drove my car
There are some problems that you cannot drive in. Otherwise, even if you don't charge your money, you will have to take you for a walk inside. My driving skills are amazing!" Laimer held the iron pipe and welded it.
The steering wheel looks like it's about to rush into a steel building.
"Yes, it's a matter of course." Cassia raised her head, and the scenery of the streets on both sides flowed back quickly.
When we arrived at the Imperial Heavy Industry School, the sky was completely dark.
There are all kinds of vehicles parked in front of the school, and nobles, businessmen, soldiers, and ordinary civilians are all mixed together. Some people come here accompanied by their parents, but there are also many people like Cassia who are alone with their luggage.
.Now people who are rushing to apply for admission are also crowded into the huge square in front of the campus. Under the high-intensity lights, there are all moving figures.
"Brother, we're here. I wish you all the best in your life in advance." Lemo pointed to a huge square next to him and pointed out the location to Cassia.
"Thank you." The young man silently got out of the car with his book in his arms, and the sound of a rhapsody-like mixture of trumpets and steam gushing sounded around him.
Cassia's luggage had long been gone, leaving only a few pens in her pockets and a stack of books in her arms. By the way, the money that should have been used to pay for expensive tuition fees was also defrauded by a robber-like manager on the train.
Clean.
I gave Lemer 40 holy coins for the fare, and the remaining money was only enough for bread and food for the next few days.
Where should I go? Cassia hugged the book to her chest, covering the hole that was cut open by the dagger to reveal the white cotton. She stood in the huge square of the school and followed the crowds, like a white mist stretching thousands of miles, not knowing where she was.
The destination.
Can I owe the tuition fees first? Although she is a commoner, Cassia has hope in her heart that the school should not be a product controlled by the nobles.
He followed a long queue, feeling frustrated as he watched the young children in gorgeous clothes check into the school with smiling faces. He watched that even if a few civilians successfully enrolled in school, they could not pay for the tuition fees of 10,000 yuan per academic year.
Faces. Some are always sad and some are happy. But these emotions do depend on the identity.
There were fewer and fewer people in front of her, and Cassia felt more and more nervous.
The people registering in front of them were probably second- and third-grade students in the school. They were all very young. Behind them stood tall and tall soldiers, holding repeating fire rifles in their hands. The body of the gun was covered with fine light silver rivets. The entire length was fast.
Nearly one meter. But fortunately, lightweight metals like meteorite have been discovered. Otherwise, a weapon that can penetrate five millimeters of steel plate with each bullet within the effective range cannot be mass-produced and become an individual soldier with the improvement of technology.
Weapons.
Behind them is an alloy box used to store coins. Inside, there are neatly placed stacks of coins with the heads of the first Holy Emperor and King of the Saint Dorag Empire printed on them. They are all golden coins with a face value of one thousand. There are
As more people choose to use bank cards issued by the Imperial Golden Bank, using the powerful computing and storage capabilities of the analytical machine and the wireless connection capabilities, everything will become extremely easy.
Of course, it is useless to get a bank card from the Golden Bank without certain financial resources and identity. After all, the wealth and resources of the empire have always been in the hands of a small number of nobles and businessmen, and civilians will always be cheap machines. Their number is like
There are endless locusts to kill every year, and the production of bank cards is also a delicate job. Mass production is not a cost-effective business.
Cassia handed over her admission notice with a frustrated mood. The person in front of her was a capable young man with a medal in the shape of a steam engine issued by the Imperial Heavy Industry School on his chest. He received everyone who entered the school warmly.
Regardless of status.
"Cassia Tussos?" the young man in front of him asked softly.
"Yes, um, actually I want to ask about the tuition fees..." Cassia's mouth suddenly became confused, but she was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Ah, hello Mr. Cassia Tussos, there are some problems with your admission notice. Please follow me for the specific matters. Professionals will answer them for you. After all, this is no longer a matter that I can intervene in.
"The man stood up. His body, which originally looked quite short, was comparable to Cassia's. Even a thick cotton coat could not hide the muscles on his body.
As expected of a heavy worker, it seems that moving things is part of daily life. Cassia sighed in his heart for no reason, thinking of the strong body he had exercised unconsciously.
"Mr. Tussos, please come this way." The man cast an apologetic look at the people who were still queuing up behind Cassia, then led Cassia to a room like a VIP room and told him that he needed to wait.
No one came.
Cassia didn't know what was going on, and her lack of tuition should not be known to anyone. And it was impossible to go to war over this matter.
He looked around. The room was very large, with an oak table in the middle. He put the book on it, finally freeing his tired arms.
Could it be because of what happened on the train? Touching the pistol hidden under his clothes, Cassia seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter for the first time. Imperial regulations stipulated that civilians were not allowed to possess guns, let alone shoot him with a revolver.
If this is really the case, then we can no longer stay here.
Thinking about it carefully, Cassia himself was led into a dead end by the random thoughts in his mind. He quickly picked up the book and walked to the door in a few strides. Before his hand could grasp the door handle, the door was already open a crack.
.
Three people as hard as steel and as solid as rock have blocked the door, with serious faces.
