The teachers looked at each other, unable to understand what the vice-principal, who was usually in a hurry, was thinking, and for a while they didn't know whether it was better to continue to discuss the list of freshmen or report to Douglas, and the air was a little stagnant.

After a brief silence, Dr. Portis was the first to stand up, and she decided to brief the Vice-Chancellor on the outstanding freshmen in Department C.

"Vice Chancellor, our Department C..."

"No need, Director Portis, I already know the situation of Department C, and I have been notified in advance of the assessment. Douglas's voice was surprisingly calm, "Andre, from the island of Luban in the blue sea, right?"

"Yes, this freshman named Andre has a lot of secrets on him, and the mystery that his fingers can shoot flames, which our academy has never recorded before. For this purpose, I consulted the master of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and he expressed great interest. ”

"Well, I know all of that. Douglas looked at the mechanical watch under the sleeve of his trench coat, it was too early, "As for the new D-department students, I will go to Russell myself to find out." The rest of the freshman list is too cumbersome, so you can just handle it yourself. ”

"But what about the final signature of the admission list, Vice Chancellor?" asked Portis.

"Just let Elizabeth sign for you. Douglas waved his hand impatiently, "Nolan knows her a little better anyway." I really don't know how Nolan has come over the years, a freshman entrance exam is about to make my head bigger, and there will be a freshman party next. ”

Elizabeth heard Douglas's ridicule and subconsciously gave him a roll of the eyes, but there was a blush on her face, and a woman over forty years old was a little more girlish.

"Tell Hook that he is solely responsible for the affairs of the freshman party the day after tomorrow. Douglas ordered the teacher in the administration.

"Alright, Vice Chancellor, I'll go and inform Minister Hook after the meeting, and let the Minister start preparing for the evening. The management teacher shrunk his neck and responded politely.

"As for the announcement of the list of new students, Elizabeth, after the results of the meeting are confirmed, I will notify the Imperial Capital News Agency tonight. Every day spent in the imperial capital was a lot of money, and the children of those poor families could not afford it. Announce the results as soon as possible, so as to save more dreams at night. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it in a moment. ”

"You go on, I'll go out for a walk. Douglas took out a cheap cigarette from the pocket of his trench coat and threw it into his mouth, but did not light it, "You have more admissions experience than me, if there is anything, solve it yourself, don't bother me." ”

As he walked, Douglas fastened the double-breasted leather trench coat, leaving only the abrupt sound of the conference room door shutting and the helpless expressions of the teachers.

Douglas's personality has always been like this, he does his own thing, and he has no scruples. He also offended many aristocratic officials, but none of the teachers complained about his instructions. Because they all know that although the real leader of the Imperial Military Academy is Principal Nolan, the spiritual pillar is this old man who is over half a hundred years old.

Because many years ago, on that night when electricity and clouds intertwined, the steely fist of "Tyrant" Douglas left a deep impression on the hearts of each of them.

Douglas strode into the hallway of the fifth floor of the administration building, his round-toed boots clanging against the corridor tiles, and the high trench coat collar stood up and obscured half of his face.

Instead of going downstairs as he said, Douglas stopped at the corner at the end of the corridor and climbed the stairs that stretched upward.

Shortly after Douglas pulled away, the voice-activated lights on the staircase went out again, and the darkness that fell overwhelmed him.

At the entrance to the roof of the administration building, the iron gate, which is usually unattended, was suddenly pushed open by a rough hand, and the rusty iron chain chain slammed into the door frame with a "ping-pong" sound.

To the southwest of the roof, a figure could be seen in a dim corner. The man was dressed in a special black night suit, and after confirming that it was Douglas, he slowly revealed his form from the hidden darkness.

"Ratton, what's going on in the Bruces, what's going on with the Headmaster?" Douglas scurried over to the black figure, his tone anxious.

"Mr. Douglas, don't be in a hurry. The man named Raton pulled down the black hood on his head, revealing a slightly glowing head, he turned out to be bald, "The operation of the Blue Snow Domain Investigation Team is going well, and the investigation plan of the Blue Snow Land is also progressing steadily, but no trace of the Snow Clan has been found so far, so the investigation time limit may have to be extended a little longer." The Brussel Domain is about to enter the polar night, and at that time, there may be a problem with the communicator due to the disturbance of the magnetic field by the charged ion current, so the academy may not be able to contact the investigation team for a long time. ”

"I have known about the problem of the communicator for a long time, and the people from the Ministry of Armed Forces reported it to me before the investigation team left, and this problem is inevitable and everyone knows it. Douglas was a little angry, "You put a note in the drawer of my office this afternoon, telling me to come to the roof secretly in the evening, isn't that what you? ”

Raton hurriedly took two steps back and touched his bald head, although he had graduated from the Imperial Military Academy for seven or eight years and was now a member of the Great Wave Legion, but whenever he thought of Douglas's unangry face and ubiquitous slap, he felt like he had seen the "plague god", and his heart palpitated.

"Mr. Douglas, I have something to say. I really have something important to convey this time, and Principal Nolan has asked me to tell you. Raton hurriedly explained, preventing a fresh slap mark on his bald head.

"To the point!"

"Headmaster, they did encounter something indescribable. Raton looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he approached Douglas's side and whispered, "To be exact, Senior Brother Longkan met him." ”

"One evening the other day, we camped on the mountainside of the Dragon Snow Mountain, about fifty kilometers northeast of the Crystal Forest. Around one o'clock in the morning, a brilliant aurora appeared outside our tent without warning, and shrouded directly above the giant dragon snow mountain. Originally, if it was an ordinary aurora, we might not have noticed it, because everyone had slept very deeply after a day of travel, but the aurora seemed to be unusual, and it was faintly accompanied by the roar of some kind of giant beast. Raton's mouth was a little dry, and he remembered the strange sight he had seen that night in the Brussels.

Then, everyone was woken up by the roar of the aurora, and we left the tent and gathered together to observe the magical scene, but we didn't see Principal Nolan and Longkan, so we opened their tent, and it was empty. Just when we were at a loss, someone in the investigation team saw two figures on the top of the giant dragon snow mountain, one was Principal Nolan," Raton swallowed hard, "the other was Longkan, the dragon kan that had turned into a dragon form. ”

Douglas sensed between Ratton's words that things weren't that simple, so he didn't interrupt him.

"Senior Brother Longkan's ability is 'Dragonization', we all know that. But what we see is that Dongkan, who has turned into a dragon, is frantically attacking Principal Nolan. Flames and ice erupted from his mouth, striking the Headmaster as if he were suppressing the dragon-turned dragon and preventing him from jumping from the pass. We tried to go up and help, but we found that our bodies couldn't move, and it was the principal who trapped us in the same place and didn't let us intervene. "Then, about an hour later, the aurora in the night sky slowly dissipated, and the roar disappeared with it. Senior Brother Long Kan changed back to his original appearance, but fell into a deep coma. ”

Raton let out a long breath when he finished speaking.

"So, it's hundreds of kilometers from Bruxue to Xinlan, and Nolan asked you to come back to the academy secretly to tell me such a boring story?"

Douglas lit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, shook his hand, closed the lid, the sound of metal hitting was crisp and pleasant, and the flame of the lighter suddenly disappeared, along with the fist-like lines on the frosted body of the lighter.

"No, no, no, Mr. Douglas. Raton hurriedly denied it, "What Principal Nolan wants me to tell you is that there seems to be a legendary dragon in the mountain of the Dragon Snow Mountain. ”

"What did you say?!" Douglas's pupils contracted suddenly, and he grabbed Raton's shoulder, the wave almost crushing his shoulder, "Are you sure it's a dragon?

Douglas couldn't believe his ears, Rao, as the vice-president of the Imperial Military Academy, had consulted the information of countless strange creatures on the continent from the records of the archives, and he couldn't help but be shocked to hear that the "dragon", a creature that only existed in legends, actually existed.

"The headmaster said that at the last moment before he fell unconscious, Long Kan told him that there was a sleeping dragon in the body of the Dragon Snow Mountain, maybe dead, maybe alive, and he couldn't be sure. The dragon roar in the aurora is that the dragon senses the activity of the dragon bloodline and summons Long Kan, and the reason why Long Kan fell into a state of madness is also because of the sound of the dragon roar. Raton endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and said what Principal Nolan had asked him to tell Douglas.

Douglas slowly loosened his grip on Ratton's shoulders and slowly recovered from the shock.

"What about Nolan, how is he? not hurt, is he? and Longkan. ”

"No, the principal is in good health. Raton rubbed his red and swollen shoulders and said secretly, "My dear teacher Douglas, the principal's health is fine, but my body almost made you feel wrong."

"Longkan's safety, you can rest assured, with Director Delia here, I believe he will recover soon. ”

"That's good. Douglas stared at the night sky due south, puffing in smoke. There the nebula hung low, in the direction of the Brussels. "Why didn't Nolan use the communicator to contact me?"

"This news cannot be obtained by the royal family of the Empire. Raton was unequivocal.

"Why?"

"Because that would plunge the empire into the vortex of war. Ratton's gaze was like a sword, at this moment, he seemed to have incarnated as Headmaster Nolan, and even his tone was very similar, "It may also allow some people with bad intentions to take advantage of it, especially the interior of the imperial family." The scarlet pupils had been watching over the Imperial Military Academy. ”

"Eyeliner?" Douglas snorted coldly, as if a layer of frost was attached to it, and the bone joints of his right fist exploded, "Evil plans that are not visible, this investigation mission was planned by those royal families." ”

"There's one more thing Principal Nolan needs from you. Ratton's voice was low.

"What do you need me to do?"

Raton hesitated, his face instantly hardened, and his expression was as serious as he had sworn in front of the Imperial flag in the Great Wave Legion barracks.

"If necessary, take his place as the rector of the Imperial Military Academy. ”
