One by one, the white wax was lit to reflect the people seated at the long oak table. ⊙ top novel,

There are middle-aged people who look like monks with rosary beads, successful people with sharp eyes and imposing momentum, and noble and elegant ladies with dignified appearance.

The only thing in common may be that the real age of all those who are qualified to sit at this table will not be less than 70 years old, although they may look different, but the image is only determined by personal descent and aesthetics.

Unlike the last high-level meeting of the Academy, this meeting is obviously more confidential and more important. School managers like Elisabeth Laurent, who inherited her father's business and gained the right to speak, were not even qualified to sit down, so they could only stand by as a member of the meeting, standing in the shadow of no candlelight and listening to decisions and discussions.

They may be unconvinced, but in fact time is always a chasm that cannot be bridged, and only hybrids who live to a certain age can develop a unique perspective on the problem of the adult species, and think in the way of dragons, rather than being swayed by short-term temporariness.

From a certain point of view, such meetings are directly related to the future development of the entire mixed race group and affect the course of the world. If such an important meeting is not in the most basic way of thinking, it will only lead to the decay and demise of the secret party and even the half-race race.

Ange bowed his head to play with the folding knife, and the night watchman dug his nostrils with his head high.

The two principals don't have a lot of money, but they themselves can be worth the role of the family, and even more than that. One basically represents the pinnacle of the half-blood's combat power, and the other has mastered the foundation that the half-breed relies on to fight dragons.

It is this that is the concern of those who really hold the supreme power, not where and how much Ange has traveled and how much he has spent this year, how many beauty pageants and swimming competitions the night watchman has held, and how much money he has inflated. Relative to their real value, these are at most the costs of daily maintenance of nuclear weapons.

Of course, this kind of accusation worked somewhat when Angers was impeached at the hearing, after all, no one wanted to see the funds they contributed to the half-breed dragon slaying cause inexplicably played with by the two old Buxiu.

"It's been a long time since there's been such a grand meeting, so I'll reluctantly take on the role of organizing the flow of the meeting," said the angry King Solomon, pausing his staff.

It can be said that the person who organizes the meeting process cannot bring his or her own position at the meeting, and considering the fairness of the entire decision-making, if even the organizer has a position, it is inevitable that personal factors will be affected when publishing known information.

King Solomon was known for his justice, and he knew that he was not a man of great wisdom and power other than justice. Seeing that Ange and the night watchman were obviously going to stir something up, he could only come to the front of the stage to preside over the meeting.

"Proposal No. 1: Candidates for the Nibelungen Project."

As he read the words on the paper, King Solomon frowned.

Everyone in the room knows what the Nibelungen Project means and how expensive it is. This is a plan that can make both the wealthy Kassel Academy and the Secret Party have to choose one of the countless elites, and cultivating one alone is expected to consume the wealth and rare materials accumulated over the years, and cultivating a few more people is definitely a nerve-wracking move.

The prospect of this is even more enticing – the development of hybrids capable of fighting the Dragon Lord on a frontal battlefield.

Such a plan with huge interests should not have been mentioned repeatedly in half a year.

"Principal Angers and Vice-Chancellor Nicholas proposed to appoint Chu Zihang as the final candidate for the Nibelungen Project. The reasons are as follows: excellent character and learning, bloodline meets the standard, strong combat ability, as one of the two major clubs of the academy, the current president of the Lionheart Club, has participated in 9 A-level missions......"

To put it bluntly, it seems to be all clichés?

Elisabeth Laurent frowned a little uneasily, she didn't think that Ange was confident that he would be able to convince everyone here that he was not in tune with the world and that he was stupid, on the contrary, the old people's decision-making ability and intuition were unusually strong.

"And, two months ago, during Beijing's mission to the King of the Earth and the Mountain, he killed one of the twins, Fenrir."

Although everyone was more or less aware of the news, it was the first time that it was actually confirmed, so it caused a sound of gentle inhalation. What is the concept of killing a dragon king head-on?

Even a mutilated dragon king is not something that ordinary half-bloods can provoke.

The moment the news broke, the eyes of several school directors flashed with excitement.

If a student who is so strong in his own right, what kind of height will he stand on after being trained by the Guò Nibelungen Project? Could it be that he can compete with the complete dragon king?

Ange couldn't help but play with the folding knife with a brisk speed, and the night watchman stopped picking his nostrils and snorted triumphantly...... Changed a nostril and continued to dig.

"I have an objection," an old man who seemed to be extremely cultivated pushed his glasses, and slightly expressed his dissatisfaction with the night watchman doing such a thing on a solemn occasion with his eyes, "If you just talk about the record of the mission, Caesar is no worse than Chu Zihang." Although his frontal combat ability may not be as good as Chu Zihang's, his bloodline is undoubtedly controllable and safe. ”

There is no doubt that his statement is justified, but it cannot hide his position on the side of the Gattuso family.

"Oh? According to you, Chu Zihang, the president of our academy's Lionheart Club, is a bomb that will explode at any time? The night watchman flicked his fingers with a little disdain and twisted his body for a moment, "Please, it's just that the means of carrying out the mission are a little rougher, and the character is not very good." Compared with the executive team back then, he is a little white rabbit! ”

The night watchman's words were not rough, and after some justification, several informed decision-makers present nodded secretly.

Those who have experienced the execution team back in the day can get a glimpse of the brutality of the half-bloods' war against dragons, where your teammates are torn to shreds in the next second, and you need to take advantage of the death and corpses of your teammates to win. If that's not enough, maybe it's up to you to contribute to others.

Afterwards, a well-dressed mound was erected, and a mournful harmonica was played on the blood-soaked battlefield.

Although Schneider looks ruthless and fierce, and his methods are cold and hard, he is really not a person who does not regard human life as human life.

"Let's not mention Caesar for a moment. Isn't that freshman Mercer good, too? Spearheaded in the fight against Constantine, and killed the other of the Earth and Mountain Kings head-on. It's just that the qualifications are a lot shorter, and there is a possibility that they have been eroded by dragon blood. I don't think the difference between the three is huge, and we should weigh it carefully before making a choice. ”

Throwing Mercer is undoubtedly a concession to Ange and the Night's Watch - everyone knows that Mercer is a Lionheart. Supporting Mercer and supporting Chu Zihang made little difference for Ange.

The decision to not make a decision for the time being is a common idea of many people.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but Mercer himself has given up his right to participate in the Nibelungen Project, and he highly recommends Chu Zihang as the final candidate."

A strange smile flashed across the Night's Watchman's face, but it quickly faded away.

"This issue has been put on hold for a moment. Invite King Solomon to read out the second proposal. ”

Although such a request is somewhat unreasonable, especially when the first issue has not yet been resolved, and may be somewhat contrary to the rules of the council, since everyone does not want to draw a definite conclusion, the result is not bad.

"Then I move on to the second proposal: the follow-up to the Typhoon Dandelion Elevated Road Zero incident."

The name is long and awkward.

It sounded a little strange at first, but when it fell into the ears of several decision-makers present, their aging bodies couldn't help but be shocked, and some even had a hint of gold on their pupils.

"The original incident was skipped. The latest news is that Commissioner Chu Tianjiao has left behind very important information, which is related to the life and death of the entire mixed-race race, please rush to the place where the mission is carried out to collect the information immediately. ”

Is it a matter of life and death for a mixed-race group?

Some people want to laugh, but find that their throats are unexpectedly dry.

The way of life of Ange and the Night's Watch is one thing, and the attitude of dealing with things is another, but there will be no ambiguity in the face of serious problems, otherwise the people present here would not give them such an important position. How could anyone dare to joke about the survival of a half-breed at such a meeting?

Could it be ......

"Principal Angers, I need to confirm the source of the news, as well as reliable Cheng Dù."

An old man who had never spoken before spoke, just by looking at the sharpness of his eyes and the tendons and bones in his hands, he could know that he was definitely a member of the executive department and even the executive team in the past.

"Source, from the student named Mercer," Ange tucked his flower-wearing butterfly-like folding knife into his cuffs, and folded it with a nonchalant expression, "according to Mercer, his message came from the dragon king Jörmungad, who told him this message before she died. ”

Everyone present fell silent - some were silent only because they were unknown, including Ange and the Night's Watch. But even if they don't know, it's because their status doesn't have the authority to know, so they can't be asked.

Some people are silent, but they belong to the small group that knows the truth, and they are thinking about the truth and stakes of the news at this time.

"I'm going to send the best commissioners to it right away, and I've set the secrecy level for this mission to SSS level."

A lady spoke in a calm tone, unabashedly revealing the momentum of the superior who always holds the power of life and death.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Don't worry, everyone," Ange tapped lightly on the table, "I'm sorry to tell you that Mercer said that he was going to participate in this mission in person, and specified that the mission could only be composed of two people, him and Chu Zihang. ”

"What?" Although they have lived a long time and are good at cultivating their spirits, it does not mean that their majesty is something that a small student can provoke at will.

Those who stand in the shadows and listen quietly are also a little commotional, after all, such words are too arrogant.

Each department has its own functions, and some departments Ange can't interfere with it, and even ask and know, which is why he put forward this proposal, but he doesn't know the inside story at all, and it seems that it is just a rumor.

"Calm down, everyone, I don't think it's an unacceptable request," the night watchman's smile was a little awkward, but he had to say it, and he had to go on with it. "The strength of Mercer and Chu Zihang is obvious to all, and those pieces of information have been shelved for so many years, so there is no danger or difference in thinking about it......"

"Vice Chancellor Nicholas, please note that this is ultra vires."

One of the school trustees also knocked on the table, and his tone was meaningful. The two may be unhappy with their right to know and power, but it is true. The constitution of the secret party has always been like this, and it cannot be changed lightly. Please don't mention anything like that. ”

Apparently, he believed that Mercer's demands were entirely the work of Ange and the Night's Watch in order to gain more power and information.

Otherwise, what kind of courage and reason does a student have to blackmail the school board? Even Caesar could only refuse rather than demand. And it's hard to see what any benefit such a requirement would be.

The Night's Watch sighed helplessly, then poked the touchscreen on the table.

"Norma, please show me the video I prepared."

"Okay, Vice Principal," a gentle and noble female voice echoed in the conference room, while a miniature holographic projection hit the center of the long table, "and the video began to play. ”

The light oscillated, gradually forming the appearance of the intensive care unit.

In the picture, Mercer, who is not wearing a hospital gown, sits quietly on the bed, while Ange stands aside with a stern expression.

"Are you sure your message is true?"

She ...... Tell me personally. I can't confirm if it's true. There was nothing unusual in Mercer's tone, but anyone with a discerning eye could see his conviction.

"Can you elaborate on this news in more detail?"

"No, my request has already been made, and there should be nothing unclear about it."

The toughness of his attitude not only made Ange in the picture frown slightly, but also everyone who was present to watch the video felt very strange.

"I think you might need a while to recuperate...... It's because the task is too intense and arduous. ”

Instead, Ange changed the subject and began to gently reassure, but from the perspective of the person watching the video, he could see the fluctuating gold in his eyes.

Is Ange planning to use words at this time?

The great name of time zero made everyone present hold their breath for a moment, looking forward to what would happen next.

"You want to knock me out and send it to Masashi Toyama to get a message?"

There was a lot of sarcasm and laughter in Mercer's words, especially from the perspective of the monitoring probe, and the irony of that smile was magnified many times. "You can try, I don't guarantee the consequences."

In the picture, Ange's pupils shrank, and after a long time, he still stopped preparing for the speech.

Angers actually flinched under the threat of force from a student?

Many people have begun to wonder if the video was a spoof by some student, but it is clearly from the footage obtained by Ange and the Night's Watch.

"I'm not going to ask too much, but for some reason I can't say yet...... As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. There's a very strange situation that I discovered recently. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the apple in the fruit basket flew in front of him of its own accord, and then split in half from the middle.

"Interesting, right? The Vice Principal's words and precepts don't seem to have any effect on me. So, I guess the headmaster and the board of trustees don't want to see a three-time bloody Deadpool wreak havoc in the college, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, no matter how good the strength of everyone here was, they almost wanted to throw the cup on the table.

"Of course, none of us would want to see that happen, just as I was joking. In addition, from a formal point of view, Chu Zihang and I have lived in that city since childhood, so we are naturally very familiar with each other. I don't know the specifics, but it would take a long time for someone else to just search. In addition, I feel that I am more than capable of the task. ”

"Then please leave it to the headmaster."

This is the end of the video.

The conference room was silent, and I couldn't tell if I was angry, ridiculous, or anything else.

"So, our third proposal is about the specific treatment of student Mercer......"

The Night's Watch took over King Solomon's duties and spoke first.

Now there is no question of taking a position or not taking a position, this proposal is the real problem, one is related to the first two, and everyone needs to think about a solution and vote together...... Well, that's often the case when dragons go to war.

The night watchman looked at the crowd with different expressions, and intuitively told him that this matter was not so easy to solve—what should be done?

(The leadership meeting is really long...... Close to 5000 words (There is wood)
