Chapter 39: Staying in the Church
The bell rang as scheduled, and the students politely said goodbye to Ange sitting on the podium and left the lecture hall one after another, and the principal smiled lightly and waved goodbye one by one, and when all the students left, the lecture hall fell silent, but still left two students sitting in the classroom without saying a word.
Lin Nian and Caesar were left behind.
This caused the two to be very helpless, a freshman student, a freshman who had just entered the school was left in the hall by the principal is not a good thing, Caesar even had some doubts about whether this would affect the public opinion of his student union president election, but no matter how helpless he could only sit honestly, the principal who is known as the strongest mixed-race sat on the podium and guarded the only door to leave, so no one wants to run away quietly today.
"It looks like you've got to know each other pretty well, and that's a good start." Ange looked at the two people sitting next to each other in the back row and nodded: "First of all, you can rest assured, I didn't keep you down to be late and talk about Disney princesses in class... But I would like to test whether the quality of my teaching has declined in recent years, so I'm going to take a few of your questions from class and answer them – and take them seriously, because I'll consider including your questions and answers in my final grade. ”
Lin Nian blinked and didn't say much about it, and Caesar on the side twitched his facial muscles unnaturally, but he still maintained his usual calmness.
"Don't be nervous, it's just some simple questions." The principal said with a smile.
"Your enemies will always know you better than you do, as I mentioned in this lesson, Attila's process of destroying Western Rome was difficult, thanks in large part to the reconstruction of the city of Rome over the years, Pope Leo I rebuilt the streets of the city into the form of dragon script, and the dragon text was printed on the Roman land in the form of pictures, and the power of words and spirits became the greatest help to resist Attila between cities." Ange put ten fingers of his hands together and lowered his head: "But in the end, the city of Rome was broken, and Attila used some method to destroy this centuries-old arrangement, what method did he use?" What is the specific method, this question is answered by you, Caesar. ”
"Attila put away the shadows in the city of Rome and blew up the largest public bathhouse in the center of the city, and the hot water flowed in all directions along the streets, like a great flood flooding the roots of the World Tree, and the "order" of the power of words and spirits that guarded the entire city was broken, and the water element eroded the fire element on a large scale, causing the entire city's guardian structure to collapse. Caesar stood up and replied.
"That's a good answer, but you missed the specific technique, so this question is only half of your answer right." Ange said: "You can answer the part of the technique, Lin Nian, I should have talked about it in class." ”
"Speech Spirit Junyan, the original words of your class are: like a napalm exploded in a bathhouse, the light of the fire illuminated half of the sky of the city of Rome, and even the night could see the terrified and helpless faces of the Roman people under the power of the dragon king." Lin Nian got up and replied.
"Interestingly, it seems that it is not nonsense for modern people to comment that the Romans died in the bathhouse." Caesar shrugged his shoulders.
Ange looked down at the natural marble floor of the lecture hall and said, "It seems that you are indeed listening to the lecture, yes, it was indeed the royal flame that blew up the Roman bathhouse, so the secret party in the historical books believed that Attila was one of the noble first species, the monarch who sat on the bronze throne and set fire to the world." ”
"The Four Kings, Norton." Caesar said.
"But this conjecture was later overturned, because the time was not right, at the same time as the Roman bathhouse was blown up, the Hun army outside the city began to attack, and it was Attila who led the way, so it was only a Deadpool under Attila who released the royal flame, and it did not constitute an inference that Attila was the king of bronze and fire." Ange bowed slightly: "If it was Norton, maybe Attila wouldn't have died so simply, at least a fireworks worthy of his identity would be set off to be martyred." ”
"Attila died of poisoning, and it is recorded in the history books that he died violently after a drink, and in his sleep the blood vessels in his nasal cavity ruptured, blood poured into his throat, and he died of suffocation, but in fact, the real cause of death was a mixed poison of alchemical poison and lizard bone powder with dragon blood, and the poisoner was his wife, Honoria, the princess of Western Rome, who was killed by the female assassin Edina Edit, codenamed 'Emerald Mix', after being poisoned." Lin Nian answered the questions that Ange had not yet asked in advance.
Knowing himself and his enemy, Attila spent several years at the court of the Western Romans, figuring out the city's defenses, and consuming only one Deadpool in wartime, dismantling the Pope's elaborate plans for years. Instead, Honoria sacrificed herself to marry Attila, and after fully understanding the dragon king's body structure, she accurately configured the alchemy poison and sent him into the reincarnation of the bone vial. Ange spread his hands and looked flat: "The history of dragons and humans is like this, learn from each other, understand each other, and finally pick up a butcher's knife and stab each other in the weakest place, too many stories in history tell us these truths, and the genealogy of the dragon family is a lesson to expose these histories." ”
"Impressive." Caesar bowed his head.
"Is the weakest part of the dragons emotional?" Lin Nian suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Looks like you have a question for you, and even though class is over, we're still in the classroom, so just ask." Ange raised his head and said.
"Attila knew that Honoria hated her, why did he cross the mountains and seas to the city of Western Rome and marry her home?"
"It's a shame I don't know about that." Ange said: "Some people say that Attila's purpose is not actually Honoria at all, but that this woman is involved in other more important secrets, because history proves that Honoria is a complete human being, and it is a pity that she has not inherited any half-blood blood, she is just a complete mortal, but she succeeded in poisoning Attila and slaughtering the cruel Hun king." ”
"So dragons also have human emotions?" Lin Nian asked.
"Dragons have never communicated with humans, and their awakening will inevitably bring brutal revenge, and we have not yet found a chance to verify this subject, so this is also a classic topic that has been debated for a long time, and I am sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer now, maybe in the future you will have the opportunity to find a real dragon king and ask him personally." Ange smiled, he came down from the podium and clapped his hands: "Congratulations, you have passed this question and answer, and now it's time to talk about what you are staying here for." ”
Caesar and Lin Nian were slightly stunned and realized that they were about to start talking about business, Ange looked at the faces of the two of them in turn, and finally stopped his gaze on Caesar: "Then I'll talk about Caesar first, I received a greeting from your uncle Frost yesterday, do you have any clue about this?" ”
Caesar had a faint look of disgust on his face when he heard Frost's name, and then he regained his composure for a second: "I guess it's probably for the sake of the war practice class, he thinks I'm not ready to set foot on the battlefield between half-bloods and dragons." ”
"So do you think you're ready? I call myself an educator, so I will inevitably listen to the attitudes of students and parents and make trade-offs and reconciles, and I probably already know your uncle's attitude, after all, his greeting does not start with 'Dear Principal Hilbert Jean Angers', but 'Angers raised by a bitch', and I probably already know what he means. Ange shrugged: "But I still want to know your attitude, you must know that the battlefield practice class in the second half of the freshman year is not an observation course, the teacher of that class is Professor von Schneider, and his rule is to throw all reserves into the meat grinder without hesitation, and finally the one who can crawl out alive is the dragon slayer who can go down in history!" Therefore, there is a high probability that people will die in the battlefield practice class, and the death and injury of freshmen in this class are also frequent in previous years, which leads to the fact that we will ask each student to sign a repatriation form before the class starts. ”
"If the Headmaster is trying to scare me away and secretly agrees with my uncle, I will probably disappoint the Headmaster, my answer is that I will go to the battlefield practice class, Frost does not mean the entire Gattuso family, the current patriarch has not braided yet, and it is not his turn to decide where I will go - besides, even if the old stallion rolls back into the family alive, it can't influence my will." Caesar said coldly.
"It's a good thing that young people are a little arrogant and angry, but you still have to compromise and control it." Ange said: "I have a general understanding of what you mean, I will report this matter to the school board, after all, the Gattuso family also has a relatively important position in the school board, and Norma will notify you when the results come out." ”
"If the headmaster is considering replying to the letter, I hope to consider adding the sentence to the postscript that Caesar Gattuso insisted on using the headmaster's pen to pay tribute to the Gattuso family." Caesar said, "If the family hand is stretched out that long, then perhaps I will reconsider the matter of changing my surname to Gulveig." ”
"I'll consider adding this paragraph to the postscript, and I think Frost will gratefully throw the ashtray in my face at the next school board meeting." Ange smiled and nodded: "You can leave, the next thing is Lin Nian's business." ”
"Before leaving, if the principal doesn't mind, I want to mention in passing, tonight the student council will have a party in the Ample Pavilion, if you are interested, Lin Nian, you can bring your sister to participate, the student council welcomes you." Caesar patted Lin Nian on the shoulder, gave him a sassy smile, turned around and walked down the aisle, nodded as he passed Ange, walked out of the lecture hall and closed the door by the way.
Now there are only two people left in the lecture hall, Ange and Lin Nian, Lin Nian looked at Ange who was leaning on the podium with his hands in his pockets and didn't know what to say, and finally waited in silence for the other party to speak first.
After a while, Ange spoke.
"Actually, I would like you to join the Lionheart Club more than the Student Council."
Seeing that Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, Ange shook his head with a smile and said, "It's been a long time since the Lionheart Society has produced a talent who can truly lead the lion pack. ”
"Was the Headmaster ever a member of the Lionhearts?" Lin Nian asked.
"The original member." "Of course, I don't mean that the Student Council is inferior to the Lionhearts, I just think that you can get better development in the Lionhearts." ”
"The development of the party and government?"
"No, on the other hand." Ange smiled and shook his head: "Everything depends on you, there is no difference between the Student Council and the Lionheart Society in essence, they are both secret party associations born for the purpose of slaying dragons, and we both shoulder the mission of slaying dragons." ”
"Today is my first class at Kassel Academy, and I'm very glad that this class is your dragon genealogy, which has given me a deeper understanding of the existence of dragons..."
"But every good word is followed by a 'but', isn't it?" The headmaster smiled.
"But..."Lin Nian paused for a moment and then continued, "With all due respect, it's still difficult for me to have too much identification with the 'Dragon Slaying Mission' that the academy promotes. ”
So that's why the war practice class has survived to this day, and the empty talk on paper always separates people from the real reality with a layer of ink, and only by piercing the paper with the tip of a knife can we really smell the bloody smell of the so-called "mission". "Actually," said the Rector, "I received an application this morning from Norma, the author, who you may not be familiar with, Professor von Schneider, the head of the Executive Department, who suggested to me that you should be included in the war practice course for the second half of your freshman year. ”
