Chapter 451: Marine Report
Originally, this was the room used by the school board for meetings, and it would seem empty when there were only seven people, but when all the elders gathered here, it was not particularly crowded, but it was also quite depressing. In particular, most of them are old men and old ladies who are half-cut into the ground.
In a dead air, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai, who was also serving as her bodyguard, as well as Yin Lizabeth and the girl school director with a not good-looking face, looked a little out of place in such a crowd.
Su Enxi is still listless, as if she has not recovered from the blow of the inexplicable disappearance of snacks, but her appearance matches the atmosphere in the room now.
The positions of the school directors are still those few, but there is one person missing, not Frost, but the old man of Buddha beads who is very close to him. As for why it disappeared, you have to ask Frost, who is already hiding at the bottom of the sea.
Originally pro-Gattuso...... Or rather, the pro-Frost forces have been purged, and apart from all sorts of other punishments, they will not be thrown to a small island in the Pacific, but they should not be tempted to enter the Kassel Academy.
The middle-aged school director sat in his seat sullenly, he was originally just a neutral faction and was almost liquidated in the queue at one time, and now he is still sitting here is just a variety of operations of the forces behind him. But even so, in just one month, he lost a lot of weight.
Yin Lizabeth still looked cold, and it seemed that as long as it had nothing to do with Ange, she couldn't be of much interest. For example, now that the Senate is back again, the power of the school board will be divided or even demoted.
The young school director sat alone in the seat with some anxiety, and the housekeeper who had been standing behind her was gone, as for his fate, refer to the old man Buddha Zhu.
In the position where Frost was originally sitting, Pompeii Gattuso, dressed in a black suit, was sitting there solemnly, and this extremely serious appearance frequently made people look at it. It's not that I'm curious about why he's so serious today, it's just that I'm curious why the Gattuso family is still here.
The rebellion of the Gattuso family was ultimately blamed on Frost and the Gattuso Presbyterian Church. As for the rest of the Gattuso family, Frost and the vassals of the Gattuso Presbyterian Church were buried on the outskirts of Rome by his means, along with the entire castle.
Those who had opposed him and the Presbyterian Church, or who had long been dissatisfied with the family's system of dignity and inferiority, were sent by the writers, except for Pompeii, who held the title of head of the family, but were actually exiled all over the world, far from the power core of the Gattuso family, and thus escaped.
Whether it was really exiled or someone did it on purpose, this is probably only known to Pompeii or the dead Frost himself. Similarly, most of the Gattuso's fortune was not left in the house, but in the Bank of Rome in the city of Rome and in the rest of the world. Although the destruction of this family is also a very heavy loss, it will not be ruined because of this.
The head of the family is still there, the heir is still there, the family members are not dead, and most of the assets are still there, although they have shrunk many times, but the Gattuso family still survived.
And actively cooperated with the college in this operation, and had already shown enough goodwill to the president and the college, and Pompeii, who was also active in disaster relief after the tsunami, after paying some price, was saved from being thrown to a small island in the Pacific Ocean to retire, and the family was annexed, and also retained his seat in the school board, of course, the kind that fell to the last place.
However, the Senate has taken over the academy again, and the current power of the school board is scattered and hollowed out, and there is even a possibility that it will be outright, so it doesn't matter if he stays here. Moreover, the various expenses of the academy also need money, and the Gattuso family used to provide the first financial support for the academy every year.
Slaying dragons is a very expensive thing, and for every ten bullets that go to a dragon or Deadpool, they pay for it. With Pompeii's assurances that his funding would not decrease in the future, and even be promoted, no one cared that he would continue to stay here.
"I miss seeing so many familiar faces here." Rector of the Kassel Academy, First Member of the Board of Trustees, President of the Kassel Senate...... Ange, who held these titles, looked around the conference room and said slowly, "The people here can almost be said to have witnessed the growth of the entire Kassel Academy, and I am really very happy to see you who represent the history of the Kassel Academy again." β
The crowd who had recovered from the silence began to talk in whispers, even though it had been a month, but they were still quite unfamiliar with the world when they came out of the ice cellar.
"Alright Ange, that's the end of the polite words." Beowulf in the crowd said, "We are gathered here to know only one thing...... That is the final end of the dragon king who hides behind the Gattuso house and rolls up a tsunami in the Tyrrhenian Sea. β
The crowd fell silent and looked at Ange, who was at the top of the round table. Although he went to the battlefield in person this time like BJ, it was also the same as that time, most of the time he was disconnected from the Kassel Academy, and as for what happened in the sea, probably no one but him could say.
Ange quietly sat back in his chair and said, "Let me explain to you the turmoil of this rebellion, ostensibly a rebellion started by the Gattuso family, but in fact brought about by the awakening of Behemoth, the king of the sea and water, who had been hiding beneath the Roman land for two thousand years. β
"I'll explain that." Pompeii raised his hand, because there were too many people this time, and the previous little bell was canceled.
He coughed and said, "I said before that I was ostracized by Frost and the Presbyterians, but after a month, I still figured out a lot of things. About these things, it probably starts from 2,000 years ago......"
In the silence of the conference room, the elders listened quietly to what he had to say, about a family that had watched over the land two thousand years ago, and the dragon king under their care.
After listening to their ending, some elders couldn't help but say angrily: "Such a great family actually disappeared into history in such a way...... We still underestimate the sins of the Gattuso family, they should have been sitting here in the first place! β
"I agree with both hands, after all, the descendants of the Gulwig family are still there, and I have no problem returning these to him." Pompeii raised his hands, as if in agreement, as if in surrender, "But I still have to say, is it really good to do this?" It's not easy to dig through old accounts from more than 2,000 years ago, and this is a very bad precedent, everyone here ......"
"Alright." Beowulf interrupted him with a remark, "At this time, it is too late to complain about the martyr who slain the dragon, and the evil side of the Gattuso family has also disappeared with the collapse of the Gattuso family's Chen Castle, and the reckoning has already been discussed." β
The patriarch who had spoken earlier glanced at Beowulf, who was speaking, and then at his colleague who had turned his face sideways, and then sighed for a long time and stopped talking. The Gattuso family took everything from the Gattuso family two thousand years ago, but that is no one has witnessed the history, so who knows how many more families like the Gattuso family will be born in the next two thousand years?
Beowulf looked at Pompey and said, "I just want to know now, where are Behemoth, who has been hidden for two thousand years by the Gattuso family led by Frost, and Leviathan, who appeared eight years ago in the report?" And, what really happened on that day a month ago? β
"One of the dragon kings died, and one escaped." This was Ange's answer, "Behemoth died, and before he died, he covered Leviathan's escape." β
Ange looked into the countless pairs of eyes in the chamber and said, "It's only half done, but it's the fall of another king. We are one step closer to the great goal of liberating humanity! β
At the conference table, Yin Lizabeth took the lead in applauding, and the applause gradually became warm. After a while, Ange signaled to stop, then looked into the chamber and said, "I know what else you want to ask, the keel of Behemoth, right?" β
An elder said, "The dragon bone of the first fallen Lord of Bronze and Fire fell into the magma, and it is simply impossible to salvage it with the current methods of mankind. And the second king, the king of the earth and the mountain, whose keel crumbled along with the Nibelungen, was left behind in the gap between reality and illusion, where no one knew it......"
"In the first two operations, we spent countless costs, killed them, but did not reap the harvest we deserved." The patriarch looked at Ange and said, "I don't think this time, it won't disappoint us." β
Ange held an unlit cigar in his mouth and held his cheek with one hand, and played with a lighter on the table with the other, and said, "I thought that after Frost's death, I would no longer have to deal with such a business-minded person." β
"We know it's not right, but every dragon bone is an invaluable asset, and we haven't seen much progress in what we know about dragons for thousands of years. Even something as important as the Nibelungen was only last year when we confirmed its existence. The patriarch just now said.
Ange took off the cigar he was holding, sat up straight and said, "As you said, we don't know much about dragons, so I'm going to tell you something very regrettable. β
He looked at all the eyes that were looking at him: "The keel of the dragon king Behemoth...... was snatched away. β
β¦β¦
The aurora in the sky shines, illuminating the emerald green islands in the sea. In the midst of the ancient and massive altar, men in classical robes adorned the flowers with the withered but still beautiful Behemoth.
"Both you and JΓΆrmungΓ₯rd are my most beautiful sisters. But I like you more than JΓΆrmungad. The man covered Behemoth with a light white veil and said softly, "In addition to your incomparable beauty, and because of the resemblance of you to me." β
Behemoth didn't say a word, his eyes closed as if he were asleep.
The man rolled her eyelids as if he wanted to wake her up, and then looked at the red that had not yet faded, as if it had solidified, and sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity...... No matter how hard you try, you still won't get rid of this curse. β
Behind him there were footsteps, dressed in robes that looked like shrouds, and yellowed bandages wrapped around his bare dry limbs. The figure that looked like a dried corpse stopped in front of Behemoth's keel, quietly admiring her beauty.
"Don't you devour her?" He asked the people around him, "In this case, you will recover a lot of your previous losses." β
The man shook his head and said, "You really don't know us, it's not as simple as recovery for me, it's an evolution." β
"Let's get started." The withered figure said, "You have seen that kind of power, which we cannot resist. β
He lowered his head and looked at the mask in his hand that was shattered again. It is not easy to snatch the prey in the hunt of a group of lions, if it were not for the support of his back hand and the men around him, he would probably have broken there again. And under such losses, they also succeeded in snatching the tiger's mouth and got the key to evolution.
But the man shook his head: "I would like to do it if I could, but unfortunately, now is not the time." β
"What the hell are you waiting for?" The withered figure turned its head to look at him, "For thousands of years, you have turned a blind eye to the opportunity for evolution that was presented to you, and even gave up the opportunity to become whole, leaving your brother in a corner where no one cared about you. β
The man smiled softly and said, "It's not a corner that no one cares about, it's just a necessary step for evolution......
He looked up to the east, as if he had crossed the border of the Nibelungen, and saw a beating heart in a bay somewhere in the far east.
"Okay, that force is really terrifying, but it's hard to say whether it can defeat the next one." He turned back and comforted his companion, "That's the real starting point for us......

On the other side of the world, the University of Tokyo is brightly lit up in the dark of night, and even after nightfall, this world-famous university is still bustling. In a nondescriptive, old, and even decaying side street at the back entrance of the university, a human-powered ramen truck is parked under a street lamp. The ramen chef, who looks like an elderly man, takes out the boiled dough and puts it on a plate, puts it on the seasoning, and serves it to the customers in front of him.
"Please, I asked for eggs and char siu." He said to the beautiful brown-haired girl at the stall, "I feel a lot younger when a cute girl like this patronizes my stall." β
"Hey, hey, no, Master Yue, what about mine?" Next to the girl, a black-haired boy who looked a little delicate flipped through his bowl, and in addition to the soup and ramen, there were only chopped green onions.
"Boys are not among them, Kiriya can honestly add money if you want to eat." Master Yue replied, turned his head and began to clean the dishes.
"It's too partial, isn't it?,Tomorrow Naku was brought by me!" The boy wailed.
The girl named Assuna looked at the ramen that was obviously more than the average girl's appetite and was embarrassed: "Mine is a little too much, so let's give it to Kazuto-kun." β
Looking at the girl who was approaching, as if she understood something, Kiritani secretly gave a thumbs up to the ramen master.
The ramen chef looked up at the thunderous clouds in the distance, and muttered, "It's raining again......
