"Have a nice trip."

Li Su turned his head and shifted his gaze from the ticket to the person who spoke. Chu Zihang, who had been walking beside him, stopped, and there was a security channel in front of him. Chu Zihang, who came to see him off today, was still dressed in clothes that he hadn't changed since they met, a black suit and trousers with a white shirt, and the standard dress at the funeral, as if he had never had any other clothes. Li Su nodded at him and glanced at the backpack behind him. He remembered that Chu Zihang put his notebook and a few sets of clothes in before leaving.

"Another mission?" The reason is not difficult to guess.

"Well, I'm going to go to sea by boat. , YAMAL No. Chu Zihang said.

"Haven't heard of it. But taking the task so quickly and not thinking about taking a break? Take a vacation or something. ”

"Not really."

"Forget it, I wish you a smooth journey."

"Thanks, I'll go first."

Li Su didn't move. He watched Chu Zihang walk out of the airport and disappear into the bright sunshine. After that, he adjusted the length of the harness and moved to the back of the long security line.

As soon as he took out the headphones he had been wearing, his attention, like the rest of the people in the hall, was attracted by an old man who suddenly appeared. This is a dignified and elegant old gentleman, but he doesn't fit well with this place. The old gentleman wore a scarlet gown and crisp black trousers, which were edged with gold threads, and the brass buttons were conspicuous but not too brilliant, and each button was carved with intricate patterns. His snow-white but still lush hair is meticulously combed, and the corners of his mouth have a heart-warming smile, like a gentleman who has come out of an old European movie.

The old gentleman's steps were quite steady, and it seemed that there was still a young man's body under the layers of folded skin. He walked along the long line to the end of the procession, and finally stopped beside Li Su.

"Dear Mr. Li Su, you are a valued guest of our British Airways, you don't need to waste time here, please come with me." The old man bowed slowly.

"Are you mistaken? I'm not impressed at all. Li Su was stunned. He never thought that this old man was coming for himself, old man Emma, how can you do this at such an old age? Is it some kind of tricky show? What the hell?

"That's right, it's Mr. Li Su." The old man respectfully handed over a gilded card. Although Li Su couldn't distinguish the authenticity of this card, he still saw it when the other party was determined to let him go. He recalled in his mind the grandeur of several protagonists in "Downton Abbey", adjusted his posture slightly, and nodded slowly to the old gentleman.

"Then, please follow me." The old gentleman turned around, walked on the bright red carpet, and led the way in front, Li Su followed behind without saying a word, playing with the dark gold card in his hand.

Walking into the room labeled "VIP Room", the old man bowed and stood by the door without saying a word. Li Su touched his purse and took out a fifty-euro bill and handed it to the old man, bypassing the structure that resembles the "feng shui wall" in Chinese architecture, and the whole picture of the hall was presented in front of him. There were no staggered round tables separated by screens as expected, and there were only thirteen high-backed cowhide chairs in the spacious VIP room, twelve of which sat energetic young people. On the index finger of each of them is a silver ring, thick and simple, and the ring face is covered with a variety of family crests.

Li Su's footsteps stopped. He slowly glanced at the young people who were looking at him neatly, his expression was blank, but his heart was turbulent.

"Don't be nervous, dear Mr. Li Su." The person sitting at the front got up. It was a girl of his age, or a woman, and she was different from the girls Li Su had seen before.

Dragon's blood gives half-bloods a look superior to that of pure-blooded humans, which would have been the best gift for the girls of the Kassel Academy, but in fact most people don't really care about it. After all, strength and bloodline are the only scoring criteria here, and no matter how fancy you are, you can't compare to the master who can dual-wield AK and fire and escort his teammates.

Therefore, the female students in Kassel usually dress up simply, but most of them use light makeup to cover up the dark circles left by staying up late to review or the abrasions left by training. But this girl is different. Li Su was sure that the other party was not much different in age from himself, but he actually felt solemn and elegant in the other party that was not commensurate with his age, like a blooming rose. It's a strange feeling, like ...... The young body is entrenched in an ancient soul.

"We just wanted to make friends with you. I'm sure you've heard about us from your teacher Ange, we don't belong to the Secret Party, but we belong to the half-bloods, and the dragons are our common enemies. She speaks fluent Chinese, without the strange accent of most foreigners, and if you don't look at her typical European face, you'll even think she's the girl next door you've known since childhood.

"I've heard of other half-breed families, you want to make friends with me?"

"yes, make a friend." She smiled and repeated, "We have always respected the half-bloods who fought on the front lines, and respected your faith and courage. ”

"Why me? Caesar of the Gattuso family will not be with you, so what about Lu Mingfei? What about Chu Zihang? One is S-class and the other is super A-class, and I'm a lot worse than them. Li Su asked.

"Lu Mingfei is still a little unqualified. Although he is the only S-Class to appear in decades, he has not performed too well so far. You Chinese say, 'No merit is not unacceptable', don't you? ”

"As for Chu Zihang, he is indeed very powerful, but he is just a madman who is keen on revenge - oh, I have no ill will towards your friend - we do not despise him, but we fear that his fire of revenge will burn us, and we are afraid of him." She suddenly showed a look of pity: "For my own sake, I suggest you try to help him get out of the shadows of the past, otherwise, he will most likely burn himself first, right?" Friends come by so hard, and we all cherish our friends. ”

"Can we understand our kindness now? Mr. Li Su, we really want to make friends with you. She was already standing on Li Su's side, grabbed one of Li Su's arms and led Li Su to the empty armchair. Everything was so natural, as if he had taken the initiative to bring his young female companion here to a grand ball.

As soon as she sat down in the empty chair, she had already pulled out the champagne from the ice bucket and poured a glass for Li Su. Li Su took the glass of pale golden liquor and took a sip, slowly shaking his head. "Although I don't know it, I can taste it as a good wine, and it's really a cow's peony to drink. By the way, what do you call it? ”

"Godeva, Godeva Kaduso."

"Oh, Miss Godeva. I still don't understand, what does your 'friend' consist? ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Li Su to be so direct." Godeva covered her mouth and chuckled. "I thought you Chinese were all 'gentlemen's friendships as light as water'."

"Water and honey are both substances, and I just care about what the substance is." Li Su said lightly.

"We can talk about this slowly, and before that, a friend of ours has something to say." Godeva sat back in her chair and picked up her champagne.

One of the young men cleared his throat, got up from his leather chair, and bowed.

"In the beginning, I hope you can help me convey my apologies to your teacher, I am sorry, I should not be disrespectful to his peers. Years of education have made me numb to a series of numbers in books, and after forgetting each number, I am a respectable person. I hope to make amends to the esteemed Headmaster Angers, but I also know that nothing can undo my disrespect for the dead. But at least let me assure you, and I promise that from now on, I will respect everyone who dies on the battlefield. ”

"I'll get it on." Li Su nodded slowly.

"Let's talk about the parts that are of interest to everyone." Godeva took over with a friendly smile. "Mr. Li Su, do you know about the Nibelungen Project?"

"The Nibelungen Project? I don't know. Li Su pretended to be stupid.

"To put it simply, this is a plan to artificially create a dragon king, in addition to the four kings of ancient times, to create a 'half-blood monarch' belonging to our half-blood. Strengthen your bloodline with the help of alchemy technology, break through the limits of half-breeds, break through existing theories, and even defeat the Dragon King! Godeva's voice suddenly rose, as if the saint was praising the heroic man for slaying the dragon. Now that we are friends, we will bring a huge amount of money to join the secret party, in the name of each family. Although our individual family cannot be compared to the behemoth of the Gattusos, when we are united, we will have the voice of the secret party! Then we will put you forward as a candidate for the Nibelungen Project, and you will be stronger than everyone else! ”

"Oh, that sounds awesome." Li Su nodded.

Of course, we also understand what kind of person Mr. Li Su is, and this kind of thing may be attractive to Mr. Li Su, but it is not what Mr. Li Su is pursuing. I understand that Mr. Li Su has a big dream to create a peaceful world. Not a world of peace between nations, but a world of peace between everyone. I also know that Mr. Li Su has always been bitter that human beings are crushing each other for profit, and that things that have always been painful and beautiful are constantly being destroyed by wicked people. We're the same at this point, and we've even offered a little help. ”

"Oh, how did I not know?" Li Su was a little interested.

"The Chicago Tribune is the property of my family, the Carduso family. After receiving Mr. Li Su's USB flash drive, we made the contents of the USB flash drive public as it was, and even though the federal government was constantly pressuring us, we did not delete a single word. Godeva handed over a newspaper that Li Su could guess without reading it.

"Oh, thank you so much."

"This is just a sign that we have the same goal as Mr. Li Su, and we are the same kind of people." Godeva shook her head slowly. "After we completely bury the dragons, we will share the rights, and no hand will hold the power alone, and then Mr. Li Su will also share the same rights. You can change the law to make it fairer and more reasonable, so that every wicked person gets the punishment he deserves, and you can also adjust or even restructure the existing state apparatus so that the moths in it have nothing to hide. Together, we will build a new era, one that is truly great, not the blood of the people to prove its greatness. ”

"The truly great times...... Is it? Li Su's eyes were a little misty. So what do I have to give? ”

"Nothing is needed."

"Don't need anything?"

"Yes." Godeva looked sincere. "As I said, we are the same kind of people and we have a common goal. Of course, you may also need to give something. For example, continue to fight on the front lines between the half-bloods and the dragons; For example, after the burial of the dragon, he still retains this sincere heart, instead of becoming another evil dragon. ”

"So I just have to keep going as I am and then I can get it all?"

"Yes." Godeva nodded. Her expression was serious, as if she was attending her own wedding.

"This is really, really magnificent," Li Su slowly put down the goblet in his hand. "Coffin."

"Mr. Li Su?" Godeva frowned. "I don't quite understand."

"Sharing rights?" Li Su chuckled, "I'm afraid that after I agree, I'll lose everything." Changing the law? I only have one vote, how can I compete with you? ”

"As I said, it's a process of discussion." Godeva's expression was serious. "We can redraw the line. Mr. Li Su alone has more than half of the votes, and even if you decide that everything is negotiable, I hope you can abandon your prejudices against us, which is also the premise that everyone can be friends. ”

"No kidding, I'm not an omniscient god, and even if I accept the Nibelungen Project and become what you call a 'half-blood monarch', I can't be omniscient. Even if the secret party of the new world becomes my word hall, as long as the source of information is in your hands, I will always be your marionette. ”

"Don't say you won't do it, you've done it countless times." Li Su glanced coldly at the girl in front of him and took out his mobile phone. "The high inheritance tax, which seems to be to avoid the divide between the rich and the poor, has actually become the best tool for class solidification. Wealthy businessmen in the family line do not have to pay a penny of taxes with charitable funds, and those who earn high salaries through skills such as technology will never be able to make it to the top of their families through the efforts of several generations. It seems that it is for the sake of everyone's happy education, but the civilians in public schools who aim for happiness don't know Einstein and don't know that Maxwell can only do unskilled service jobs such as serving dishes, and you who work hard will always hold the top of the social pyramid. Li Su turned the phone screen towards Godeva. I spent half a minute looking up some interesting facts, which were really interesting. Warren Buffett, who is worth $80 billion, only paid 1.85 million in taxes last year. Less than 7% of all secondary schools in the UK, such as Eton College, are private schools that serve the elite, and the rest are public schools, and more than half of the students go on to higher education such as Oxford after graduation. ”

"Do you want me to say anything more, Miss Godeva? For example, the letter of introduction system? Like political donations? Like expensive whole grains and vegetables and cheap junk food? Need I give more examples? For example, the same adrenaline pen owned by your family? Six hundred dollars a piece, you spoke in Congress with tears in your eyes, saying that every school should have one for the sake of children's health. Ah, the commoners think you're speaking for them, affectionately calling you Joan of Arc of America. But the result? This thing costs less than $10! How much tax money is going into your pockets! ”

Li Su tossed the card in front of Godeva and patted her ass to get up. "You are in power, you are in control, and this is the world that you have created. Now you're embarrassed to say that you and I have the same goal? The law of justice has become your instrument, the joy of your needs has become your instrument, and the mercy of humanity has become your instrument. Everything is your tool to create a perfect world for you, a world for yourself to stand at the top of the pyramid. What is the difference between you and the primeval dragons? ”

"And that's not what I want." Li Su walked to the door and glanced back at the well-dressed young people behind him. The silent realm covered everyone, and for a moment they only felt dozens of times the force of gravity attached to them. The originally dimly lit room was lit up, and it was a dozen pairs of bright golden pupils that lit up the room, and the dragon blood in their bodies began to boil to resist the spirit of words acting on their bodies. Gravity had sunk them into the soft backrest of the chair, cracks in the fine wooden armrests.

"Also, Miss Godeva, you're beautifully dressed, but it's not enough for me to be a weapon." The realm disappears. Li Su patted the shoulder of the old man who had been standing by the door, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him. The prostrated young people were lying in their chairs, gasping for breath, sweat already soaking everyone's clothes.

"How dare he do it to all of us?" One of the young men looked incredulous, and then the expression changed to fear for a moment. "It's ...... Royalty?! Isn't his spirit a place without dust? How could he possibly use it on us? ”

Most of the others in the room were still immersed in the happiness of the aftermath of the disaster, and no one could answer his question, and the old gentleman who had been standing at the door walked slowly towards them, who had seemed to be just an older waiter before, but when he stood in the middle of the group of young people, it seemed that he was their leader.

"Wipe your sweat." The old man took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Godeva, sighing. "It seems that the students of Ange are even more dissatisfied with us, and they are not weak enough to suppress all the new generation of leaders. What do you think? ”

Godeva took the handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and a pensive look appeared in her eyes. "He may not be that powerful, the reason why he completely crushed us just now also has a lot to do with the characteristics of the first hand and the spirit of speech." Under the kingship, we cannot chant incantations, and naturally we cannot resist with words, and the consequences of resisting words with the body of a half-breed alone are obviously predictable. Also, although he has shown great hostility towards us, I would suggest continuing to engage with him and continue to show our goodwill. ”

"Why?" Another young man was a little puzzled. "He almost treats us as enemies, so why should he entrap an enemy?"

"Because the benefits are sufficient." Godeva smiled. Although the soaking of her clothes made her look a little embarrassed, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest. She looked at the person who was asking. "John, how strong do you think he is?"

"Although there are also reasons why we can't use the spirit of speech." John's expression was a little solemn. "But we don't have a low pedigree, if that's to happen...... At least, at least the best of the S-class, but not enough. ”

"It's not enough." Godeva picked up the card that Li Su had thrown down, and ran her fingertips across the golden name "Su Li" on the card. "Then what do you think of him compared to the Four Great Dragon Kings?"

"The Dragon King killed him in seconds, right? Even the proportion of S-level dragon blood could not exceed 50%, and in the eyes of the Dragon King, he was still crippled. ”

"Yes, according to normal speculation, the dragon king can kill him in an instant, and they are the vanguard on the battlefield, and they will face the dragon king twice. Even with weapon bonuses such as Storm Torpedo and Damnation, the probability of him dying in battle is still extremely high. But have you found out? He never mentioned anything about fighting against the Dragon King, and all his doubts were about 'building a new world together after the war', and he didn't worry about dying at all. ”

"What if....... He himself does not spare his own life? ”

"It's true that he is a person without identity, and the 'he' in society is as shallow as a baby, and if it was a year ago, I would have agreed with you. But don't forget that as mentioned in our profile, he had a girlfriend. A man like him can't cut the bridge he has built. ”

The inference of "then ......" was dismissed, and John thought of another, more terrifying possibility.

"Yes. There's a good chance he's got a hole card that would kill the Dragon King or at least equal. That is, he is most likely a ...... Uncrowned King! ”

Godeva's tongue licked her cherry-red lips, and she leaned back in her armchair to support her pretty face with one hand.

"It made me ...... I'm very interested. Her eyes were like those of a hunter staring at her prey, or a spider waiting for an insect to step into its web and hold its claw aloft.

Black Widow Spider.

The young people who saw Godeva's expression only felt a chill down their spines, and there was only one word in their minds.
