Chapter 53: The Clouds Will Disperse (I)

Donald closed his eyes slightly, and heard the sound of a broken wine glass downstairs, the sound insulation of this house is very good, it stands to reason that he can't hear such a subtle movement on the first floor, but this is what he expected, under deliberate listening, even if the sound is very weak, ordinary people can hardly hear it, Donald's keen hearing still captures it.

Now here is really only one person who knows.

Donald thought about how the Pope had let such a stupid guy deliver the letter with such an important message, but it was understandable to think about it carefully, it would be too unsafe to write a letter about this news, and the safest way was to keep the messenger in his head, and after the news was delivered, with the Pope's understanding of himself, he would definitely be able to think that the messenger's life would not be saved, and if the content of this message could be heard by a slightly smarter person, it would inevitably produce evil thoughts to betray it to other forces.

After thinking about it, it is true that only a loyal fool can carry it out the safest and least costly.

The brown-haired boy sat opposite Donald, of course, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he just looked at Donald's thoughtful appearance and said, "Mr. Donald, although it is a bit rude to inquire like this, are you because of the Pope's decree just now?"

"Sort of. Donald laughed and said, "Mr. Roger, take the liberty of asking, has the Grand Imam conveyed any orders to you since you came here?"

The brown-haired boy known as Roger replied without thinking, "No." ”

"Good. Donald's expression suddenly solemn said: "Roger de Moulin, in the name of His Majesty the Pope, I command you to swear to the Lord that the conversation between you and me here today shall not be known to a third person, otherwise you will be abandoned by the Lord and go to hell forever." ”

Seeing that Donald was suddenly so solemn, Roger was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was about to tell himself the decree just now, so he stood up and pulled out the sword at his waist and touched the ground, and said solemnly: "I, the Viscount of Fort Turin, the guardian of the Holy Land, and the knight of the Knights of Malta, Roger de Moulin, hereby swear to the Lord that I will never divulge the Pope's edict, and if I violate it, I will go to hell forever." ”

Donald smiled, the young man standing in front of him was impeccable in his loyalty to the Pope, this kind of person would never violate the death oath made in the face of his faith, if he threatened with force, he would definitely fight to the death, and said slowly: "Mr. Roger, please take a seat." ”

Roger put away the stabbing sword of the cold light, sat down solemnly, and said, "Mr. Donald, please speak." ”

"First of all, Mr. Roger, I need to ask you a question. Donald asked, "What do you think about Lu Yi as a person?"

"Do you want me to just talk about Mr. Lu as a person, or do you want to include the people behind him?" asked Roger with a slight movement of his eyelids.

"Let's start with himself. ”

"I've only met him from afar, so I don't know him very well, but I think Mr. Lu is a person who can make people feel close, and he is very ...... Outspoken. Roger sorted out his thoughts and said: "I am also a person who does not play cards according to the rules, these are just my first impressions, you should know more about the others than I do, but I can conclude that this Mr. Lu's strength is absolutely strong, according to Zhang Jianfei's specifications of catching him with so many people, I should not be able to run, and Mr. Lu can actually kill five of them, this alone is far better than me." ”

"Mr. Roger, I don't know if you feel that way. Donald thought for a while and said: "I had this feeling when I first met Lu Yi, he definitely has a lot of secrets, of course, everyone who comes here has secrets, which is undeniable, but Lu Yi is different, he is the only one who makes me feel dangerous, yes, the first time I saw him, I felt that he was inexplicably dangerous." ”

Roger was silent for a while and said, "Actually...... I felt the same way, and I thought it was a delusion. ”

"It's not a delusion. Donald's eyes lit up and said: "Since I saw him for the first time, I have been sending people to observe him in private, and I was also paying attention to him in the classroom the day before yesterday, and I found that Lu Yi is very different from others. ”

"Different?"

"What do you think a youkai is?"

"Monsters. Roger replied, knowing that Donald was a racist, and did not hide his true thoughts in the slightest, saying, "At least interracial." ”

"This is what makes Lu Yi different from us. Donald muttered: "Most humans are not far from your thoughts, but only this Lu Yi, his eyes are exactly the same when he looks at monsters and humans, which means that in his heart, there is no difference between monsters and humans." ”

"Is there really such a person in the world?" Roger said with some skepticism: "If this is the case, then it is not surprising that the Headmaster will see him in person, it is very beneficial for the whole project to have such a cooperative human in the racial fusion, but the question is that Mr. Lu really treats humans and monsters equally?"

"If he's not, then he's the first human to hide from the Headmaster's eyes, do you think it's possible?" Donald asked.

Hiding from the principal's eyes, Roger didn't dare to think about this, what was hidden under the principal's shocking age was extremely deep experience, if it could be concealed so easily, what qualifications did the principal have to suppress those people from the big family, and then asked: "But what does this have to do with that sense of danger?"

"Everything is just my conjecture, but I vaguely feel that Lu Yi is too complicated to seem. Donald couldn't say why he thought that.

"When you want to understand the unattainable unknown, of course, you can only make up for it with emotional conjecture. Roger said.

"Constantine's book?" Donald glanced at Roger in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to read it too." ”

"Didn't you read it too?" Roger said with a smile: "I also read some of them before I came to the Silver Cross Academy, after all, it is a book written by the greatest person who has ever been known as the monster world, I wanted to use this to understand the monster world, but I didn't expect to underestimate him, to be honest, I really admire this Konstantin now." ”

"There are no real fools in the world, the so-called fools, but they are not fast enough to think, or temporarily short-sighted. Donald said a passage as if reciting, and said with a smile: "This is also the words of Constantine's book, and the truth I learned from it is: don't underestimate anyone." ”

Roger also smiled: "I have never underestimated that Mr. Lu. ”

"Okay, as for Lu Yi's personal aspect, let's stop here for the time being. Donald stopped the topic and said, "You can talk about what you think of the forces behind Lu Yi." ”

"Mr. Donald, I am even more ignorant of the forces behind Mr. Lu, but I can answer you equally with the words of Konstantin. Roger also quoted like a quote: "The enemy you cannot see is either hidden in the shadows because he fears you, or you are not at all able to reach because you have not entered his field of vision." ”

Donald looked at Roger and asked, "Do you think we're the latter?"

"It's just a metaphor, and Konstantin's words may not be correct, but it is certain that since the forces behind Mr. Lu can have a relationship with the principal, then they will not be afraid of us. Roger's brown eyes moved slightly: "But to say that we can't reach it is still too exaggerated." ”

Donald nodded, he already had a basic understanding of Roger's thoughts, it can be said that Roger's judgment without knowing some key information is still not much different from his own, which also makes Donald recognize Roger, who is indeed a trustworthy ally.

"So...... Monsieur Roger, what I am conveying to you is the top secret that His Holiness the Pope has just conveyed to me. Donald put away his smile and said, "I hope you remember your vows." ”

Hearing this, Roger said solemnly: "Please speak." ”

"The headmaster is very old. ”

"Huh?"

"I said, the headmaster is very old. ”

"Yes. After Roger reacted to the meaning behind this sentence, the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly with excitement or shock, he knew that the Headmaster and the Pope had some unclear friendship, and Donald did not need to lie to himself by pretending to the Pope's edict, so the authenticity of this news was beyond doubt.

It's a nonsense that the headmaster is very old, people who have lived for at least four hundred years are not as simple as being old, they have exceeded the limit of the life of the monster, this sentence will not be ignored if others say that Roger is old, but this sentence came from the mouth of the Pope, and the headmaster is old?

Since the establishment of the Silver Cross Academy, all human forces can feel that the monsters in the human world have decreased significantly, and in the subsequent interactions with monsters, everyone can clearly find that some monsters are different from before, in the past, those monsters can almost be described as a rabble, only those old big families like vampires and werewolves know how to trade with humans, and make profits from them, other monster families don't know what a deal is, and humans can get huge profits from these monsters at a very small price, such as using a batch of inferior wine, you can exchange almost the same volume of precious metals from the monster, and the difference in price between them is not a world of difference.

But one day, when humans found that some monsters were becoming more and more organized and cunning, they learned from the news network that had developed in the monster world over the years that there was an institution called the Silver Cross Academy, and it had the full support of the two big families, Dracula and Drake.

At that time, the human race did not take this matter to heart, this was just a new rising power, the human race could continue to trade with other families, at that time, Dracula and Drake did not have the influence they have today, and the human beings thought that when you found that you could not get any goods from the human world, but could only obtain them from the hands of other monster families at a high price, this Silver Cross Academy would naturally understand the rules.

However, decades have passed, and it turns out that the human race is wrong, when the last family said that they did not have the right to decide on trade, and they found that the passage between the human and the monster world, the coachman who could be bribed with a few packs of cigarettes was not willing to transport goods anymore, the human beings reacted, but they had lost the best opportunity to fight back, no matter how they instigated those so-called "trading partners", they were not willing to go against this already behemoth Silver Cross Academy.

Trade with the monster world was interrupted, but a huge chain of interests has been formed, so suddenly it was cut across the board, which is something that many people can't accept, under the controversial decision of the human internal group, they sent a negotiation team to the Silver Cross Academy, how is the negotiation process, all the members of the negotiation team are silent, but since then, the era of human beings bidding and predatory dumping of goods to the monster world is over.

The mastermind of all this is the founder of the Silver Cross Academy, the headmaster, who is like a dark cloud hanging over the entire human world, but for the yokai, the headmaster is like a god, guarding the entire yokai world, and it is the headmaster, who has almost single-handedly changed the pattern of humans and youkai that has been ossified for countless years.

Today, Donald said, the Headmaster is very old.

Roger was dumbfounded, is the dark cloud that has lingered in the human world for 400 years finally about to disperse?
