Chapter 255: Beowulf the Dragon's Blood Lover (2/2)
Central control room of the Kassel Academy
Schneider took a sip of the agave, a happy look on his face.
Since the dragon blood in his body was controlled, not only has his body recovered, but he has also become more powerful than before. In the past, he was not allowed to smoke or drink because of the scars on his body, but now he can drink all kinds of fine wine.
With the freedom to eat and drink, combined with the peace and tranquility that has lasted for many months in the world, it is natural that he, the head of the executive department, is very relaxed, and only needs to deal with the requests of Kassel commissioners from all over the world.
At this stage, the focus of the executive department is to tightly control the Internet.
The incident at Qutang Gorge is relatively easy to cover up, but it is hard not to think about the fact that Japan was hit by volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes at the same time. Some people will spread some remarks about the dragons, and what the executive department has to do is to cooperate with governments around the world and local executive departments to carry out strict monitoring, so that the secrets of the dragons can still be buried in the era of information explosion.
A young man in the executive department switches between different interfaces at high speed. This is a forum divided into multiple sections, with dark red words on the black back, which looks a little weird.
It was the website of the Hunter Market, and the academy had been monitoring it for more than a decade to prevent some major secrets from leaking out.
The young man stretched and rubbed his sour eyes. While monitoring the Hunter Market's website isn't an easy task, it's much easier than investigating the location of dragons' awakenings or monitoring the location of a high-risk hybrid. And today everything is normal, and the various bounty tasks do not look suspicious.
Although most of the missions are illegal, most of them are related to the smuggling of cultural relics, as well as those who invite them to exorcise evil spirits and hunt ghosts, and invite them to dive and explore the ruins of Atlantis. Hunters have to be nervous guys, otherwise they will wander around this forum all day long, watching all kinds of illegal and unreasonable things that cannot be explained by logic happen calmly, and probably give birth to the feeling that they are not on the earth.
And this young man from the executive department also has an ID, and he is bored to comment under some boring posts to keep the ID active and prevent the account from being frozen by the administrator of the Hunter Market due to too low activity.
The young man refreshed the Hunter Market's website, intending to see if there were any new posts, but he was stunned after refreshing. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure he was not mistaken.
On the Hunter Market's website, a bold title is pushed to the top of the forum. The post was three minutes ago, but it already has a staggering 70 replies. You must know that there are not a few hunters in the hunter market who can only rely on the activity of the post like him, everyone relies on the execution of tasks to brush the activity, so on the forum of the hunter market, 70 replies can only be achieved by super hot posts.
And the title of the post is "Dragons named Zephyrus and Notus...... Awakened in Phoenix, Ning, China...... $100 million in reward! 》
The young man looked at the title of the post and couldn't help but tremble. He didn't even have the courage to open it to take a look at the content of the post, and subconsciously pressed the "F5" key to refresh, but this refresh was not completed instantly.
Will the computers in the executive department freeze?
Five seconds later, when the young man saw the number of comments under the post, he realized that it was not the computer of the executive department that was stuck, but the website of the Hunter Market that almost collapsed. In just a few seconds, the number of replies under this post has surged to 200!
No...... The number of replies is still surging!
He could imagine that this message was flowing to computers around the world via fiber optics at an alarming rate, and countless Hunter Market users were opening the post in front of their computers, and the sudden influx of horrific traffic had even threatened the servers of the Hunter Market website.
This is a nuclear explosion of information!
Can't wait any longer! This post must be opened before the server crashes!
The young man pressed the mouse button with trembling fingers, and quickly saved the contents through a screenshot and sent them all to the main computer in front of Schneider.
Ten seconds later, the Kassel Academy rang the long-lost alchemical bronze bell.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The deafening bell rang throughout the campus, and it was the bell that acted directly on the students' heads. In an instant, countless people put down what they were doing and stared at the nearest campus loudspeaker, waiting for the academy to release the assembly list. And Chen Hongji, Chu Zihang, and Caesar, the students who knew that they must be on the emergency assembly list, had already checked their weapons, and then rushed to the control center of the library.
"Please all A-level and above students go to the control center of the library to assemble urgently!"
On the radio came Ange's voice, a calm and powerful voice announcing an urgent assembly, but it gave people a sense of security, as if the purpose of the meeting was only to invite them to dinner.
A group of people rushed to the library, and by the time they pushed open the library door, Ange and the Night's Watch and a group of professors were already there, including some of the old guys who were supposed to be in the freezer and some of the radical members of the Secret Order......
"What's going on? What kind of crisis is enough to bring so many secret party elders here? Could it be that Nied Hogg has been revived? ”
Chen Hong gradually took Xia Mi's hand and walked into the library, and his teasing tone broke the silence of the control center, which also made many professors and students who were a little worried calm down.
With a hybrid future, what else can be considered a crisis?
Just as the students wanted to applaud the arrival of their most respected half-breed in the future, a low, hoarse voice came out one step ahead of their applause.
"I don't like you, even if you are a mixed-race future identified by most of the secret party elders and most school directors, I still don't like your frivolous personality."
As soon as the words fell, all the students began to look for the position of the person who said the disrespectful remarks to Chen Hong, they didn't mind catching that bastard and beating him up before the meeting, even if the bastard was a secret party veteran, he had to let him, an old thing who was out of line with the times, understand that there were some things that could not be said nonsense.
But when they found the owner of the voice, they all shut up. For the person who spoke was an old man, unexpectedly pale in skin, and sat there like a thick limestone tombstone. Under the light, his old hands reflected a faint light, and the surface of his skin was covered with fine white scales!
There should be only one old man who blatantly reveals the characteristics of dragonization and will not be arrested by the secret party.
Chen Hong gradually frowned, and asked tentatively, "'Dragon's Blood Lover' Mr. Beowulf?" ”
Hearing Chen Hongji's voice, all the elders looked at the dark corner where the light could not be found, and immediately bowed down to say hello.
"Mr. Beowulf."
Beowulf, it's a terrifying surname, like Flamel of the Night's Watch, except that the latter is a master alchemist, while the former is a berserker on the battlefield of dragon slaying. This bloody and terrifying title can't help but let those arrogant patriarchs greet him respectfully.
As for the origin of the surname Beowulf......
In the 3,000-line poem "Beowulf" in Norse mythology, the hero Beowulf and 14 warriors stand up, break one of the arms of the monster Grundell with brute force with his bare hands, and cut off the head of Corondo's mother sea monster with an ancient sword with magic, and finally in his twilight years, he takes a young man named Vigraf and dies with the dragon, and when he kills the dragon, he is also pierced through the neck by the dragon's sharp teeth. Poisoned by the poison in the dragon's saliva.
Although this is only a legend, in the "real history" recorded by the Secret Order, Beowulf is not a person, but an ancient dragon slaying family. And it was not the same person who killed the three-headed monster, but the three members of the Beowulf family from grandfather to son to grandson, and their opponents were Deadpool, who killed countless people, and second-generation dragons.
For thousands of years, the Beowulf family has been the most determined, brave and ruthless dragon slayers of the Esoteric Order, adhering to the ancient family motto of feeding every newborn baby boy a drop of dragon blood crystal. The dragon's blood crystals contain substances that are highly toxic to humans, and coupled with the bloodline mutation brought about by the dragon's blood, it is difficult for a baby boy to withstand such a test. However, the Beowulf family believes that only by passing such a test can he be a useful man to the family, and he can fight against dragons on the battlefield, and he will no longer be poisoned by the highly poisonous dragon teeth and dragon blood.
This Spartan method of selection shocked the world, and the Beowulf family's training of boys who had borne the erosion of dragon blood was far more arduous and even cruel than that of the Spartans, but it also trained dragon slayers like steel.
I don't know if it's because he was born with dragon blood, which has a fatal attraction to the men of the Beowulf family, like a poisonous ...... Addictive ...... Gentleman. In order to hunt down a dying dragon, they can even cross Eurasia, simply stabbing its weapon into its heart, incorporating its blood into their family spirits, and drinking it all.
No one knew what it was like to drink that poisoned wine, and it seemed that the Beowulf were in great pain, but the more they could endure the dragon's blood wine, the stronger the warriors became, and the images of them wielding tomahawks and slashing dragons' necks were recorded many times, and at that moment they were almost demonically possessed.
But it is these warriors who are like demons possessed, who carried the dragon slaying banner of the Western world in the bloody era before the industrial revolution when they could only rely on blood, alchemy, and ancestral dragon slaying weapons.
Therefore, considering the customs and contributions of the Beowulf family, the secret party bestowed on them the terrifying title of "Dragonborne", just as the title of "Mentor" was bestowed on the inheritor of the Flamel lineage.
And the Beowulf who just spoke, was the patriarch of the Beowulf family, and was a contemporary of Ange, more than one hundred and thirty years old. But in front of him, even Ange can be regarded as a softer faction of the secret party.
He was the head of the Secret Party's "Squad", tasked with hunting down dragons and Deadpools around the world, the forerunner of the Kassel Academy's Executive Department. However, compared to the department of the madmen, who was impeached by Frost for violent stopping, the executive department of the Kassel Academy was only a charity in front of his predecessor, the Secret Party Action Team.
Cold-blooded and brutal yet powerful and efficient, the Secret Party Squad that terrifies both humans and dragons will never rescue their companions, at most bury them with the corpses of dragons and Deadpool, then blow a harmonica in front of the grave to express their condolences, and then pick up their knives and guns again and rush to the next dragon slaying battlefield.
However, because of his opposition to the establishment of the Kassel Academy, he has not appeared at the meeting of the Secret Party for nearly a hundred years. He insisted that "the so-called dragon slayers cultivated by the academy can only be greedy for life and fear death, and the real dragon slayers can only complete the baptism on the battlefield", after all, this is the way the Beowulf family and the action team have always cultivated talents, and the establishment of the academy is simply tarnishing his belief in the family and the action team.
Therefore, he categorically refused to serve as the head of the executive department, otherwise with his bloodline, longevity and seniority, the successive executive directors, even Schneider, who was known as the best executive minister, would not be mixed. The current executive department may be a department that can be defined as extremist terrorist militants by countries around the world, and Frost will not have the courage to try to impeach.
"Everyone has their own values, and you can dislike me any more than I dislike your way of drinking dragon's blood and ignoring your companions." Although Chen Hongjian respects this old man who has made countless contributions to mankind and shed countless blood, he will not get used to him.
Beowulf's expression was grim, his eyes narrowed slightly, his golden pupils lit, and he stared at Chen Hongjian deadly. Chen Hongjian was not stunned by him, and his golden and crimson heterochromatic pupils were ignited at the same time, staring at Beowulf.
The two coercive forces competed, colliding with each other and falling against each other, but after five seconds, the coercion released by Beowulf was ruthlessly crushed, and he could no longer maintain his gaze with Chen Hongji.
Although the human bloodline of the Beowulf family is infinitely close to that of a pure-blooded dragon, and even the Beowulf bloodline in front of him is already comparable to the next generation, it is not enough compared to Chen Hongji, who has quoted evolution medicine and serum, obtained a drop of essence blood from Passage Ming Ze and Xia Mi, and used countless violent bloods.
"That's the end of the irrelevant topic, Schneider, you come and explain to the senators and the cadets what happened."
Although Ange and Beowulf had great differences in their ideas about the establishment of the academy and the management of the executive department, they did not care about these differences when facing dragons, especially when facing their mortal enemies.
