Chapter 54: The Clouds Will Disperse (Part II)
Roger's brain quickly thought about the possible changes in the situation behind this news, and then found that he couldn't process such a huge amount of information in a short period of time, and thought of the headmaster's recent actions, was he afraid that his people would not come forward in person that day in the Heavenly Palace because he was afraid that his people would see the clue, and chose to let Bai Qing replace him?
What did the principal mean when he saw Lu Yi in person? How did he arrange what happened after his death? How many people would know about it?
Roger let go of the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Headmaster...... Are you going to hand over the Silver Cross Academy to Bai Qing?"
"Bai Qing becoming the next principal is something we don't want to see. Donald's throat squirmed, "But the Headmaster seems to be ready to pass it on to him." ”
Roger remembered Bai Qing, who was domineering in the Heavenly Palace that day, glanced at Donald with sharp eyes, and said, "Bai Qing can't be the next headmaster. ”
"Whether Bai Qing can become the next principal or not is not something we can say. Donald stared at the teacup on the table and said, " The headmaster has hidden Bai Qing very well over the years, at least before we in the human world came here, I haven't been able to get any news from him, and I have mobilized all my forces to check in the past few days and have not been able to find out the origin of this person, in fact, in the Heavenly Palace, it is also Bai Qing's first public appearance in the face of monsters, and the big families of monsters only know that there is such a person, but they don't know what he looks like; , how can we destroy it on a temporary basis? ”
Roger thought for a moment and asked reasonably, "What kind of monster do you think Bai Qing will be?"
"The first time I saw him, I thought he was from the Dracula family, Bai Qing's silver hair is characteristic of the vampire royal family, but his Asian face made me hesitate a little, do you think he could be the Earl's Asian bastard?" Donald asked Roger.
Roger said that he couldn't be sure: "The old wolf king also has an illegitimate child in Japan, to say that the earl and the old wolf king have illegitimate children in Asia, I think it's unlikely, and now the two are incompatible, if Bai Qing is really from the earl's family, then the old wolf king will definitely not support ......."
Roger paused here and looked up at Donald, who gave him the same look, and then nodded, and Roger said in surprise, "You want to say ...... Kinoshita Nagafeng is competing with Bai Qing for the position of the next principal?"
"Let's assume now, no matter who the old wolf king and the earl support, now Bai Qing has a great advantage over Kinoshita Changfeng, which you also saw when you were in the Heavenly Palace, it is not difficult to see that Bai Qing and Kinoshita Changfeng had a festival before, and Kinoshita Changfeng is actually a member of the School Management Association, so can I deduce that Kinoshita Changfeng used to compete with Bai Qing for the position of chairman of the School Management Committee, and then failed?"
This inference is not far-fetched. Roger said.
"Okay, then continue, let's assume that the above inference is correct, Kinoshita Changfeng Station suffered a temporary defeat in the seizure of power, but he can still stay in the school management committee, so does it show that even if he fails, there is still power to support him, and I hope that Kinoshita Changfeng can make a comeback, so who do you think will be the person who supports him?"
In the face of Donald's logical reasoning, Roger's expression kept changing and said: "Although there are rumors that Kinoshita Changfeng and the old wolf king are at odds, but after all, it is the blood of his family, and of course the old wolf king will support Kinoshita Changfeng." ”
"Then do you think the Earl will support Kinoshita Nagafu?" Donald stood up and replied to himself, "Of course not, the Earl has no choice, he can only support Bai Qing." ”
Donald's reasoning made the whole situation extremely clear, it seemed that all the truth was shown in front of Roger at this moment, and he secretly sighed at this time that Donald was worthy of being the person personally selected by the Pope, and he could analyze the internal contradictions of the entire monster world so thoroughly with the sentence "The headmaster is very old", whether this analysis is right or wrong, this terrifying logical reasoning ability also amazed Roger, and it seems that Donald's analysis is very likely to be correct.
Roger also stood up, held the hilt of his sword and bowed to Donald, "Mr. Donald, what should I do?"
Donald looked at Roger, his bow contained too many things, but Donald was not satisfied with this, and continued: "Mr. Roger, don't you think about the role that Mr. Lu plays in the middle?"
Roger had already decided on something at this time, and bowed his head and said, "Please ask Mr. Donald for advice." ”
"Don't dare. Donner smiled and said: "I just said, Mr. Lu is a person who treats humans and monsters equally, so the headmaster admires him very much, but Mr. Roger, this is just a superficial thing; now the earl's daughter, that Miss Dracula, is already Mr. Lu's fiancée, and as far as I know, Mr. Lu seems to have a good relationship with Kinoshita Changfeng, and Mr. Lu didn't come to class today, so he went to District A to look for Kinoshita Changfeng." ”
"Mr. Lu, is it an intermediary?" said Roger.
"Yes, Mr. Lu is the middleman chosen by the principal, and it can be said that as long as he turns the direction now, it will have an extremely important impact on who can become the principal between Bai Qing and Kinoshita Changfeng. Donald thought about Lu Yi's somewhat silly face, and said thoughtfully.
"Mr. Donald, I think even so, Mr. Lu doesn't have this ability, and he's a human being. Roger retorted.
"Mr. Roger, Mr. Lu has this ability precisely because he is a human being. Donald shook his head and said: "If the racial integration plan is successful, the concept of the monster world and the human world will slowly fade, maybe the process will be very long, but before that, Mr. Lu will become the representative of the human race in the Silver Cross Academy, he is not only the earl's son-in-law or Kinoshita Nagafu's friend at that time, he still represents the collective will of the entire human world, do you think this is not enough to influence the choice of the next headmaster?"
Roger was silent, the old wolf king and the earl together are almost equal to the entire monster world, plus the collective support of the human world, this power is enough for Lu Yi to do anything, but he is still a little unconvinced, and asked: "Lord Principal, is it really safe to put such a great power in the hands of a human being?"
"It's absolutely impossible for other humans, but only Lu Yi is possible, and I kind of know why the Headmaster chose Lu Yi instead of me. Donald sighed, he thought that it was natural for him to become the leader of the human race by virtue of the relationship between the Pope and the principal, but he didn't expect that Lu Yi would appear in the middle.
Roger thought for a while and said, "Human beings will not choose Bai Qing to become the headmaster. ”
"No human would want Bai Qing to become the headmaster. Donald said a little helplessly: "But now it seems that the principal wants Lu Yi to support Bai Qing." ”
"Mr. Lu will not agree. Roger said baselessly.
"He's still rocking, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to see Kinoshita Nagafeng this morning. Donald put his hands behind his back, looked at Roger with deep eyes, and said: "It seems that Mr. Lu has already rejected the principal once, as a human being, I sincerely think that Mr. Lu's move is very remarkable, if it were me, I don't think I would have this courage." ”
Roger deeply thinks so, the earl's son-in-law, the friend of the only prince of the werewolf, the choice of the next headmaster, and the representative of all mankind in the future, any title can make the world crazy, and these titles are now just in the headmaster's thoughts, that Lu Yi can actually resist such a big temptation, and even risk life and death to refuse the headmaster, it is indeed admirable.
"So what should we do? Roger opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to talk to Mr. Lu and let him support Kinoshita Changfeng?"
"Kinoshita Nagakaze...... It's not as simple as it seems, you can put half of the country at your fingertips, but you fall out with your father, such a person who acts unbelievable, who knows if he will be the same as Bai Qing, or even more than that?" Donald said worriedly.
Roger walked up to Donald, knelt down on one knee and said, "Mr. Donald, I, Roger de Moulin, on behalf of all the members of the Knights of Malta, hereby swear that in this incident, we will do our best to obey Mr. Donald's command until the death." ”
"Mr. Roger, what are you ......" Donald was a little surprised, this greatly exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect Roger to say such a thing, almost equivalent to swearing allegiance.
"Mr. Donald. Roger raised his head and said with a determined look in his eyes: "Before coming here, I have received the supreme authority of the Grand Imam and the Great Council to take care of all affairs, and there is no need to report it in case of emergency. ”
Donald was silent for a while, and Roger was much more decisive than he expected, and said, "I will live up to my high expectations." ”
Roger still didn't stand up, and asked again, "So what should I do, Mr. Donald?"
"We don't have to do anything, we just need to see what Mr. Lu wants, we just need to fully support him. ”
"Then what if Mr. Lu chooses Bai Qing?"
"What if you choose Bai Qing. Donald stood upright, his body burst out with a strong confidence that he had never shown in front of people, and his eyes were clear: "He Bai Qing is not the headmaster, even if he sits in that position, we are standing behind the entire human world, what is there to fear, I really want to see how much storm he can set off if Bai Qing becomes the headmaster." ”
Roger's eyes also swelled with unprecedented fanaticism, and he felt that the person he chose this time was definitely worthy of him, as well as the knights behind him who were no longer glorious.
“Defence of the faith and assistance to the suffering!”[]
(Note 1: "Defend the Faith, Help the Suffering"; the slogan of the Knights Hospitaller when it was founded, it has been used to this day, and is now commonly known as the Knights of Malta. )
