Late at night, the principal's office. On the huge desk on the top floor, an old-fashioned greenglass-covered lamp illuminates steaming Darjeeling black tea and freshly baked chocolate cake. Rarely, seven bone china cups were placed on the table, and eight vague figures sat in the darkness that the light could not illuminate.

The wind blows the fallen leaves rolling on the roof, and the slight sound of clattering is like countless ninjas sneaking over the roof, and in this cloudy night when there is no moon in sight, it looks mysteriously changing, like white steam overflowing from a cup of tea.

Ange picked up the teacup and greeted the others, "It's really rare to have four students receive an invitation to the principal's afternoon tea at the same time, oh no, it's an evening tea party, it's a pleasure to drink tea with everyone, and all the hard-working tutors······"

"! Why am I on a mission with a team of madmen? Am I despairing of my life of repeating grades? Don't go! Resolutely not go! Someone was clearly not at all impressed by the elegant and dignified atmosphere, and did not intend to match the demeanor of the principal, writhing and shouting in his chair.

The unique "G" class student at the Kassel Academy, Fingal von Frijns. The reason why he had to writhe in the chair instead of getting up and running away was because his hands had been tied behind the chair with a belt

Beside him, the vice principal with his pants lifted sneered hideously

"I haven't mentioned going to your China to slay dragons, can you have another attack later?" Ange scratched his head.

"Don't think I can't guess what you think! What evening tea party? It's a mobilization meeting, right? It's just to tie me and Chu Zihang in the same boat, right? I've done my job, headmaster, don't be a fool! I'm graduating next year with honor, and next year I'm going to be an executive commissioner, flying around the world on missions with sexy girls, racing and smoking cigars on Cuban roads, lying on the beaches of Hawaii and having people put on sunscreen for me, and rowing boats on the Mekong River with the Oriental girls I meet······ My good days are coming, please I have to stay up for nine years to graduate! I don't want to fold before dawn! Fingal was indignant.

Ye Yu sat on the sofa and shrugged his shoulders, "I think you may be living in a dream, but it's a pity that you are still awake"

"You're not talking about the life of an executive commissioner, it's James Bond." Schneider, the head of the executive department sitting next to Chu Zihang, said hoarsely, "If someone in the executive department lives such a life, it can only make me ineffective!" ”

"Isn't it okay to give some imagination?" Fingal sighed

"As a one-of-a-kind 'G' grade, you thought it would be so easy to graduate? Even if the principal and I release the water, do you think the school board will retaliate against you? The principal and I are creating opportunities for you. Imagine that you have completed this task, and your internship report will be so bright that the school board will not find a reason to prevent you from graduating! Otherwise, you'll probably have to gnaw on pork knuckles in the academy for a year, studying your unprecedented tenth grade! The vice-principal patted Fingal on the shoulder and held the donkey with a carrot in one hand and a carrot in the other.

"It's better to die in the flame of this madman's indiscriminate attack······ It sounds like eating junk food and dying of high fat and high cholesterol is a better choice! Fingal glared at Chu Zihang beside him, but his arrogance was obviously a little low.

Chu Zihang sat there upright, expressionless. Sipping tea and biting into a chocolate cake.

"You can only use violence against this kind of guy." The vice principal said to Guderian, who was next to Lu Mingfei.

Guderian nodded frequently, he felt very honored that the vice-principal took the time to guide his student Fingal, and he felt that there was still a big gap between himself and the vice-principal as an educator.

Ange coughed, "If you're done, then I'll continue." Invite the best students, sip black tea, talk about the past of the academy and the secret party, and look to the future as a tradition that has been a tradition of ours for many years, and all of you who are here today have also been invited by me, so the four of you are the real elite of this academy, and today I am very honored to inform you that you will be sent to China as intern specialists to investigate the recently exposed practice of 'Dragon King Awakening'. ”

"I'm honored to be your sister······" Fingal wept with a sad face

Ye Yu thought silently for a moment, got up and patted Fingal on the shoulder, "It shouldn't be just the three of us, right?" The Executive Department will not send just four of us, there must be other teams"

"There are only four people in your group, and there will be other teams in the executive department." "But don't think you're inexperienced and incompetent, you're two 'A' and 'S' grades, even Fingal was once 'A' grade, and you have an advantage in pedigree over most of the Commissioners in the Enforcement Department." The more you face the high-status Elder Dragon, the greater the role of the bloodline, which can offset the lack of experience. We are very pleased that the college has found so many outstanding bloodlines in your enrollment in these years. ”

"No" Ye Yu stretched out his hand to gesture to Ange, "I may not quite understand, why put the two of us under investigation in a group?" We have a lot of options, such as..." Ye Yu looked in the direction of the Amber Pavilion

"The news of the Dragon King's awakening has been made public, which is the biggest crisis in the history of the academy, in fact, the elites that can be mobilized by the executive department have been divided into different groups and dispatched to the nest," Schneider said and nodded to indicate that Ye Yu was right, "The students also dispatched two groups, the other group includes Caesar Gattuso, Chen Motong and Xia Mi. ”

Fingal, who was indignant, was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned a few times, and suddenly his eyebrows fluttered a little, and he stretched his neck and squeezed his eyebrows at Ye Yu, "I said, you are still really miserable, your two girls ran away with others, or else, you put Caesar in the harem, so that you are not afraid that your sister will be abducted and run away."

Ye Yu snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked the obscene Fingal and the bench to the ground, "I think at least you are worse than me now"

"Wow!" Fingal pretended to be in pain, "Principal, look, mine has received a severe blow, oops, I suspect my hand is broken, so this event..."

"Well, you will definitely go" Ange looked down at Fingal, "I am sure that Comrade Fingal will overcome the difficulties!" ”

He yelled at Ange, "I said Principal, this team is too unevenly distributed, isn't it?" There are three 'A' grades, and two are seniors, each of whom can take charge on their own, is our group just two violent people with two scraps? ”

"You can't think like that, that group is a first grade, a third grade and a fourth grade, and your group is two second graders, a third grade plus you are a ninth grade, you are the senior team." Ange said lightly, "And you still have the advantage of numbers"

"Hey! Can that be counted? Fingal protested, "Looks like I'm going to beat the three of them alone!" ”

Ye Yu didn't say a word, and reached out to tighten Fingal's belt

"This is a blatant digging of the wall, right?" Fingal stared at Ye Yu's eyes and said seriously, "I'm not a person who stirs trouble, but tell you the truth to my junior brother, if someone digs into my corner, I will have to play with him for anything!" ”

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Fingal, who was lying on the ground wailing, and looked at the delicate chocolate cake in front of him silently

Chu Zihang didn't care about what was going on here, he stared at the light, as if he had been fugue

"Okay, okay, look at who I'm in a group with, a coward and a man with facial paralysis plus a useless waste material" but was glared at by Lu Mingfei, Fingal felt that no matter how much he tossed, no one would respond, and sighed, "Is there any equipment for us?" It's like Dr. Q will always have him before 007 goes on a mission! An Aston Martin sports car equipped with an alchemical warhead machine gun, a submarine that can run on Beijing's Chang'an Avenue, and so on, the more the merrier! Headmaster, get your wicked equipment department out of here! Now is the critical juncture for your good students to be born and die, and there is no treasure at the bottom of the box that can no longer be hidden! “

"Unfortunately, the Armament Department is one of the most difficult departments to navigate, and like the Executive Department, it is under the purview of both the School Board and me. And because of the school board's impeachment of me, I can't come forward for the time being. Ange shrugged, "So you won't have the full support of the Armament Department like you did during the 'Bronze Project.'" ”

"What are you kidding? At that time, there was also a Moniach and a storm torpedo with an alchemical warhead, and this time let's go into battle naked? I rub! Do you use your nails and teeth? Bite the Dragon King? "Fingal was stupid, he was in a state of collapse and collapse all night

"Even though I'm in a state of temporary removal, there are still things I can invoke." Vice Principal Ange nodded

The vice-principal pulled out the heavy black box from under his desk and carefully placed it on the desk. The 180 cm long aluminum alloy box has a black skin on the outside, and the corners are reinforced with steel parts, and the metal nameplate in one corner is engraved with "S20100144". A collection from the "Ice Cellar", a top-of-the-line collection with the initials "S". The figures indicate that it was the 144th item to be included in the Ice Cellar in 2010.

Lu Mingfei saw this thing and took a deep breath for no reason. He immediately realized what it was, as if he could feel the dangerous thing breathing for a long time through a thick layer of aluminum alloy

The Headmaster and the Vice-Principal each took out a bronze key and inserted it into the keyholes on both sides of the box at the same time, turning it at the same time. There was a slight sound of gears turning in the box, and the metal teeth that were biting each other at the mouth of the box slowly retracted, and the box bullet opened a thin slit, and the dark golden light flowed along the slit, and for a while it seemed that the table lamp was dimmed.

The headmaster lifted the lid of the box, "Alchemy sword? The Seven Deadly Sins! ”

Except for the principal and vice principal and Lu Mingfei, the people present saw this set of swords for the first time, and they all stretched their necks to look at it.

"This ······ What is this? Fingal reached out and tapped on the intricately carved outer box.

The vice-principal pulled the hidden clasp at the port of the outer box, and with the sound of Qingyue, the internal mechanism slid out, bringing out seven swords of completely different shapes, and the dark golden edge revealed various lines like ice patterns, pine needles, flowing clouds, and flames in the light. The vice principal stretched out his hand to draw the knife, a 150cm long two-handed blade, with a graceful arc on the edge of the blade, and about a finger thick, "The system is close to the horse chopping knife of the Song Dynasty in China, and it is named because it is held in both hands, and the horse's head can be cut off with all your strength." ”

He turned the blade and thudded the blade into his desk.

"Hey, hey! This desk of mine is hand-carved antique furniture from 19th century Venetian craftsmen! Ange shouted.

"Oh, it's exciting." The vice principal smiled apologetically, "Find someone to help you change the tabletop." ”

He drew the knife again, a long arc-shaped knife, nearly 120cm in length, a slender blade, the edge of the knife is like the bow of a long ship, "This is close to the Japanese Heian period of the knife, this knife type is improved from the Chinese Tang knife, small cut first, narrow in front and wide in the back, ancient shape." ”

There was another "click", and the long knife was also inserted into the table half a foot.

"The Yacante long knife, a type of Damascus knife, was historically cast by Turkish knifesmiths, and today the pure craftsmanship has been lost, characterized by the reverse bend of the blade, but the head of the knife becomes straight, taking into account the advantages of the sword, and it is held in one hand."

"Bang"

"The shape of the Han sword, the straight sword, the cut of the sword body is an octagonal prism, also known as the 'Han Bafang', which is a beautiful stabbing weapon."

"Bang"

······

Ange covered his eyes and listened to the sound of metal piercing the wood seven times, each of which meant the depreciation of his cherished piece of antique furniture

Now with swords on the table, this bookish private library has been transformed into a museum of cold weapons in a matter of minutes, in which all the art of murder has been tempered throughout history. The Vice Chancellor circled around his desk, flicking his fingers at the first saber, a "buzzing" sound filling the space, and the other six weapons resonated to form a perfect scale

"This set of swords was first found by Ye Sheng and his team in the Bronze City, and the second time it was found that Ye Yu was at the exit, and then it was lost, and then it appeared in the directional auction of Sotheby's auction house, and the academy spent a lot of money to buy it back, each with a different dragon inscription, the dragon text could not be deciphered, fortunately, in addition to the dragon text, there was also an ancient Hebrew text, which is likely to be the name of these seven weapons, which are arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony and sex... Desire. The vice principal said.

"It's the so-called 'seven deadly sins' in Christianity." Guderian said, "The Latin words are 'superbia,' 'invidia,' 'ira,' 'accidia,' 'avaritia,' 'gula,' and 'luxuria.'" The combination is a medieval Latin word 'salogia'. ”

"But this was only proposed by Pope Gregory I in the sixth century AD." Schneider's eyes widened in surprise, "And the original White Emperor City was built BC!" ”

"Hell, maybe the concept proposed by Ewo I came from the legacy of the dragon civilization." "It is important that the forgers of this set of weapons ······" He took a deep breath, "Lord of Bronze and Fire, Norton. ”

Ye Yu nodded, of course he knew what this was, he had also activated this alchemy array and fought with the dragon

"Although we can't decipher the dragon script, we find Norton's dragon name in the inscription, and the names of the four great monarchs in the dragon script are all special symbols." Ange looked around at everyone, "These swords are all cast from recycled metal, and they look exactly the same, but each has a different rigidity and toughness. This is the highest alchemy technique, creating new metal purely according to one's own will, and any alchemy master in history can only look up to this metal, which belongs only to the supreme master of alchemy among the four monarchs, the king of bronze and fire. ”

"The four great monarchs have different powers, for example, the King of the Earth and the Mountain, who is considered to have the 'greatest power', and the King of Bronze and Fire is known as the 'Throne of Alchemy', because only the highest flame he has mastered can reach the limits of alchemy." The vice-chancellor said, "These seven weapons have reached an astonishing level of craftsmanship, and it can be said that they possess the 'virtues' of all cold weapons in history." The convergence of these 'virtues' will bring unparalleled lethality, and killing people is simply like fighting flies with anti-aircraft guns, so why did the dragon king take the trouble to cast him? ”

"Cannibalism," Ye Yu said

"Yes," Ange whispered, "the seven weapons correspond to the different weaknesses of the seven kings, arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, and lust, and Norton will judge his seven brothers by his ultimate alchemical achievements." The ancient Hebrew word on its outer wall translates, 'The blood of every king shall end with the sword'! ”

"Don't be funny, the dragon king doesn't sound, 'lust... Desire' or something is for the principal, you specially forged, right? Fingal said, "And why did he kill the other dragon kings?" Shouldn't they band together to knock us down first? ”

"Dragons are a race of power, and their kinship is far less revered than they revere power, and if they think their brother is too weak to continue to exist, they will not hesitate to provoke war, destroy or even devour each other. The prosperity and demise of the dragons are because of this tyrannical tradition, the dragons will always be royalty, and the fate of a king is to be killed by a new king, and they inherit their power in this way. Ange said

"So when he forged this weapon, he had already begun to count down his brother's life?" Chu Zihang asked.

Ange nodded.

"And then he's furious that his brother was killed by us?"

"Dragons are such a strange race, they tyrannically devour their own kind, and they will have a bitter grief for the death of their kind. Legend has it that after devouring the White King, the Black King roared in pain and flew to the highest point of the zenith, and then fell straight to the deepest part of the seabed, breaking through the cold ice of winter, back and forth. Ye Yu exhaled, no one could feel more than him in this matter

"It sounds like a group of literary and artistic young people who are very awkward in their hearts." Fingal muttered, "But this thing can really kill the dragon king?" Especially the smallest one······ Can you pierce dragon scales? ”

"Not right now, because what you're seeing isn't really the 'Seven Deadly Sins' that come to life." The Vice Chancellor pulled out a sword and put it back into its box.

He bit his finger open, erected the bleeding finger so everyone could see the drop, and slowly applied it to the knife case. He drew an incomprehensible pattern, like a dragon or a leaf.

"Get out of the way, now it's awake." The Vice Chancellor stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to step back.

He doesn't say that everyone is already retreating, everyone can feel the change. It came to life, as if there was a heart beating in the knife box, not just one, but seven, seven swords awakened at the same time, seven different heartbeats were mixed, some were like a bell, some were like a drum, this is a tyrannical band, he is suitable for a story like "The Legend of Liu Yi" in the Tang legend, in a song of song and dance in Dongting Lake, the red dragon named "Qiantang" swept three thousand miles, killed 600,000 people, injured 800 acres, devoured the ruthless little dragon to his wife, returned in an instant, and returned with a high crown and a smile.

It's not like that, but it contains such murderous and manic.

The surface of the knife case revealed a dark red vine-like pattern, like its blood, and the vibrating heart was sending manic blood to its body

"It's like there's an angry pangolin in it, ready to come out at any moment." Chu Zihang whispered

"No, you can't drill it out, you can only pull it out." The vice principal smiled, "Now try to pull out the sword again, starting with Ming Fei." ”

Lu Mingfei was very reluctant to get close to this thing, and normal people would not want to get close to a murderous weapon between a living thing and a dead thing. But the good thing is that ······ It wasn't the first time he had pulled out these weapons

He honestly walked to the table, opened the clasp, took a deep breath, and grasped the smallest short knife, "Lust", which was shaped like a Japanese rib. There seemed to be another force in the knife box holding the short knife, Lu Mingfei blushed, exhausted his strength, suddenly lost his balance, and rolled to the ground with the knife he pulled out

"Pass the first level, then try the others." The vice principal said, "After this set of swords is awakened, there is a strong magnetic force to absorb the swords in the knife box, and the larger the size, the more difficult it is to pull out." ”

"It's really not possible," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "It's already very desperate." ”

"Try again," the vice-principal's tone could not be refused, "the second handle, gluttony!" ”

Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the Atcan long knife, this time the huge power in the knife box was ten times that of "lust", the knife slowly left the knife box, but only one inch out of the sheath, Lu Mingfei lost his strength, sat on the ground and gasped

"And then, greed." The vice principal said lightly

"Hey, the penultimate handle can't be pulled out!" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded

"Try it, try and you won't die, at most it's just a sprained arm or something, don't be lazy, be lazy and deduct grade points!" The vice-principal threatened viciously.

"Greed" is just like its name, completely lazy in the knife box, in Lu Mingfei's shouting only trembled slightly, the Han Bafang named "arrogant", the Taidao named "jealous" and the majestic horse chopping knife "Fury" are completely still, Lu Mingfei finally jumped on the table and stepped on the knife box hard, perfectly interpreting the artistic conception of "the grasshopper shaking the giant tree".

"Alright, next, Fingal." The Vice Chancellor clapped his hands.

Fingal proudly rolled up his sleeves and showed off his biceps brachios in front of Lu Mingfei, this guy really has well-defined arms. He has been successfully pulling out "greed", wielding the Scottish broadsword, with smugness written on his face, but after that, he also hit a wall like Lu Mingfei

"Next, Chu Zihang"

"Yes." Chu Zihang walked to the table and inhaled slowly, he didn't have strong arms like Fingal, his physical fitness was Tai Chi, and the power of the explosion in flexibility could be several times stronger than a full blow.

"Lust" didn't stop him at all, to put it mildly, it was like pulling out chopsticks from the chopsticks cover, and when he pulled out the "gluttony", he used horse steps, and he wanted to guard the dantian, and he succeeded only once, Fingal couldn't get complacent, and he was still alive and tossing for a while just now. Chu Zihang adjusted his breathing, held the handle of the "greedy", concentrating, keeping one, and the long breath seemed to be poured from inhaling to the tips of his fingers, exerting force!

Blood dripped down the desk. Chu Zihang stood at the table and looked at his palm silently

Lu Mingfei and Fingal were stunned, everyone would think that Chu Zihang could at least pull out the "rage", judging from the state of pulling out the first two handles, he still had no strength left.

But the Scottish broadsword remained unmoved in the case, and the dense metal scales on the hilt slashed open, stabbing him in the palm of his hand. It wasn't until Chu Zihang moved his hand that the scales slowly tightened

He was rejected by "greed".

"Finally, Ye Yu" the vice principal smiled, "Just take it as an exam, do your best"

Ye Yu stepped forward slowly, stretched out his right hand to hold Lust, and slowly pulled it out, but suddenly stopped and glanced around, smiled slightly, and cut a knife on his wrist with Lust, blood dripped on the knife box, splashing a little blood, Ye Yu suddenly reached out and pressed on the knife box from lust to arrogance and quickly slashed, but everyone's breath suddenly held their breath

The sword that came to life trembled violently for a moment, and it popped out of the knife box one after another

There was silence, and the principal's office suddenly fell silent

"I used this sword at the beginning, and it is actually impossible to give you time to draw the sword in battle, so the most correct way is this" Ye Yu shrugged, "Of course, you have to be recognized first, just like this"

The vice principal clapped his palms, "You are very good, classmate Ye Yu, I am looking forward to your performance in this mission, I hope it will be the same as you last time"

"Pick up your good words"

"Okay, the exam is over," the vice principal smiled, "Schneider, Guderian, Ye Yu, Ming Fei and Fingal will follow me, and the principal will talk to the students who have not passed."

Ye Yu raised his head and glanced at Chu Zihang, nodded silently, patted him on the shoulder before leaving, but didn't say anything
