Steel Steam and Flame

"But it still doesn't work. If we leave like this, we will only bring back a lot of unsolvable troubles." Keshan hugged Doris tightly, as if she was not only Doris alone in fear and fear.

Footsteps sounded outside, perhaps because of the lights in the room.

There was a polite knock on the door. After a few times, Keshan released her hand holding Doris, stood up and tidied her clothes, and replied softly to the knocker: "You can come in."

"Miss Keshan, can I do anything for me? It's late after all." It was a young man with dark blond hair, very thick, and full of healthy colors. "Good evening, saint. If yes I’m tired, I can let the people in the kitchen prepare rich food and snacks for you at any time. You know, they don’t have day and night in their time, and they are always willing to serve you and do their part.

The man did not enter the room. He opened the door and stood straight outside, saluting Doris who was sitting on the bed. Just like the night watchman here, in Keshan's eyes, there are always so many sets of clothes on men, which change according to the time.

Tonight is the dark gray clothes all over, or the clothes on the man should be called more decorative armor. The robe behind him that is almost the same height as the body also illustrates this point.

The armor has sharp edges and corners, but visually, it doesn't feel the sharpness of cutting the eyes. On the contrary, it has a very round and harmonious feeling. It was the man's own temperament and breath that influenced Keshan's direct senses towards him.

The man is very similar to the chief knight who existed in the country a thousand years ago, or the empire was established less than a hundred years ago. Pieces of armor were spliced ​​together to perfectly wrap the man's body, drawing several very graceful curves.

There is a matching sword, which can be divided into thin sword weapons, hung on the man's left waist. The hilt and the mouth of the sword are studded with beautiful gems, and the unidentified lines are outlined with expensive metal. On the other side, there was an even older flintlock. It is definitely not for combat use. The decoration on the gun body shaped like a sword illustrates this point.

The man wears a beautiful badge on his shoulder, and the words and symbols on it indicate that he is currently a young major officer in the country where Keshan is located. But the military rank on his shoulders is not enough to explain some problems. It has been a long time since I came here. What really made Keshan alert is the mark on the man's chest armor.

It can be said that it is a cross, but in Keshan's eyes, it is upside down. It is more accurate to say that it is an inverse cross. The inverse cross pattern can be portrayed on the armor and displayed in the eyes of outsiders. Compared with the military rank on the shoulders of men, perhaps this is the place that is truly worthy of glory, and it is also a place for others to watch and think.

That is the symbol of one of the three knights of the Holy Ten Luo Empire. As a huge group with actual management power and military power, every noble knight in it bears the glory of being a member of the Knights Templar. Of course, they also held tremendous power in their hands, just like the man in front of Keshan.

Being young is not just a face, it is something that can deceive people, especially Keshan knows the existence of surgery. The man in front of him seems to be less than thirty years old, and the future is destined not to be ordinary. You can come here as a night watchman in Fort Solomon, and you can see a lot of small problems.

"Knight Palfice, thank you for your kindness, I don't think so. The saint simply can't sleep." Keshan took a few steps forward, blocking Palfice's gaze, "If there is a need. , I will inform you immediately. You know that I will do this. If you have nothing else to do with Knight Palfice, I think the saint should have a rest."

Keshan smiled and nodded, thanking Palfice for worrying.

"I hope you can all have a good night." Palfice bent down in response, and at the same time took a small step back and closed the door. From the narrowing view of the door, Keshan clearly saw the huge bright red inverse cross pattern drawn on Palfice's white robe in the light shining from the room.

The logo of the Knights Templar had already been remembered by Keshan, but every time she saw it, it would arouse her emotions.

Because the pattern is reminding her at all times that this is Fort Solomon, the headquarters of the Knights Templar in the Holy Ten Luo Empire. Not far away is the entire Holy Ten Luo Empire, or the core area of ​​the religious nation, just like the Manoma of the Saint Dorag Empire. The Holy See is not only located there, but also not far away from here along with the other two knights-the Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights. For the religious country where the development of industry and steam power has reached the extreme, the term distance does not exist in the same area.

"There is no possibility to leave here by personal strength, even if the unstable power of Saint Doris is added, the same result will be achieved."

Keshan lives under such self-hypnosis every day, and must carefully hide her mood. The education of Doris within the empire made her a blank piece of paper. In a limited time, Keshan knew that she had to teach her something. It looks like an empire, someone taught her.

Although this is just what she thinks.

The door closed silently, Keshan returned to the bed, Doris' mood was relieved, at least the trembling hidden under her pajamas disappeared.

"Everything will be fine." Keshan said softly, "Go to sleep, I will always be by your side."

"Notice that in the first period of time, the 103 area was completely normal, the airflow was stable, the temperature maintained a historical horizontal line, fluctuating between 60 and 80 degrees, the ocean current speed did not change, and the visibility of the corresponding 103 area can be observed. On the land and sea lines, the communication reception is normal, and the ocean-going exploration boat No. 103 is ready to return." Familiar voice, skilled communication methods, and a paragraph that almost fixed the format. Not so young observers are looking down through the lens of the huge ocean-going exploration craft.

The weather is as good as ever. The light blue sky spreads for tens of thousands of kilometers, and there is no cloud around. If a little cloud suddenly appears, maybe it will make them feel strange. You can see looming small ups and downs around, those are other ocean-going exploration boats, and they must be completely integrated into this pure blue sky without any impurities.

I have long been accustomed to this kind of picture, because my eyes have been in contact with such an unchanging sky for a long time, and only ordinary people will suffer from snow blindness, which seems to have appeared in elite observers like them. Snow blindness is of course an impersonal and unequal metaphor that only circulates between them. But there are such cases where many skilled observers can no longer see things.

"Anything" does not refer to everything, but simply represents this pure blue sky and the sea that mirrors this blue sky. And most importantly, a huge vortex surrounded by this sea.

Just because the vortex is so huge that the current height of the ocean-going probe cannot see the full picture of the vortex. What the people on the exploration boat saw was a tiny corner of this huge vortex. And this tiny corner in their eyes is like an ordinary ocean, and there is no way to find the characteristics of the vortex.
