"For thousands of years, dragons didn't really see us as real adversaries at all." Ange said to the people in the conference hall, "It's shocking to say this, but before we entered the age of technology, we didn't have the ability to fight high-level dragons head-on. ”

He threw a stack of reports on the table and said, "Their worst enemy has always been themselves, and it is themselves who stand in the way of their return to the throne of the world." However, this situation may change because of our appearance, both as a third party to intervene in their struggle, and as a provider of new technologies to provide them with more diverse ways to fight. ”

The document contained reports of a drone attack and a nuclear attack on a commissioner in a city deep in the Siberian Plain. There are also observations by the European Space Agency and NASA of the changes in the satellite Sword of Damocles before and after it goes out of control.

The people in the chamber flipped through the materials, and their expressions turned from confusion to anger. The weapons and technologies they had spent in the laboratory developing were so in the hands of the enemy that they were thrown away at their own devices.

The dragons' alchemy had made them blush, and for thousands of years they had been one of the most powerful swords against the dragons. And in modern science, after the development of their own alchemy, the power that is not inferior to alchemy, and may even surpass it, makes their self-confidence swell for a while.

At that time, when the overlords of the world drove the iron ship cannons all over the world, they also pushed the cannons, found the sleeping tombs of dragons, and blasted them open. Countless dragons who were waiting to return from their slumber were completely annihilated with their keels, and under the cleansing of iron and fire, they laid the foundation for the current era of human superiority.

And now, the technology that they are so proud of is being used by enemies who have been on guard for millennia, just as they used dragon alchemy thousands of years ago.

"The sword of Damocles is just the beginning." Ange, who sat back in his seat, continued to play with the lighter in his hand, "Who knows what those guys who already have powerful words and alchemy have hidden something after gaining the power of technology. ”

He glanced up at the top of his head and said faintly, "Perhaps, there are many pairs of eyes looking at us from the universe now, and they are ready to fall at any time......"

The elders of the conference hall were shocked, the madness of the dragons did not need to be explained at all, they did not need to worry about what kind of damage the dropped weapons would do to the environment, or that subverting such a world was exactly what they wanted.

But Beowulf remained calm, and he said to Ange: "But since you are still the venue of the meeting, it means that you have prepared something, right?" ”

Ange shrugged his shoulders, and in the middle of a forest near the meeting place, a huge missile launcher was hidden. The RX94 Interceptor Alchemy Missile, the successor to the RX93 interceptor rocket and the RX93-2, is deployed here. Although these two missiles did not achieve the expected effect, and one of them even blew up, it is not known whether it was blown up or not, but this did not prevent their follow-up missiles from being developed quickly and adjusted for air targets.

At the beginning of the meeting of the senators, such a number of missile vehicles were deployed here, some buried deep in the ground, some disguised as ordinary trucks parked at the foot of the mountain, and some hidden in the ocean...... Combined with the executive commissioner who disguises himself as a tourist or shop service staff in the vicinity, the seemingly loosely managed Port Fino has a level of vigilance that is no less than that of a general military base.

"Wouldn't it be good to go to great lengths to do all this and hold a meeting directly in the academy?" One day, the executive commissioner, who joined the executive department and was forced to patrol the coast, complained.

……

"The sword of Damocles was supposed to be under the control of Behemoth, the king of the sea and water, and was aimed at outer space in order to guard against something. But for unknown reasons, it was obtained by another dragon king, and what happened later, and even fell directly to the earth. Ange continued, "In addition to the dead King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountain, the one who can do this, and who has the ability to fight against the Dragon King, is probably the most mysterious of the four kings. ”

“…… The Lord of the Sky and the Wind, the Yellow Sparrow standing behind the Praying Mantis as it hunted the cicada, showed up and snatched Behemoth's keel after we successfully killed her. Ange's voice became muffled, and his face was extremely cold in the dim light.

The conference hall fell silent for a while, and the secret party's knowledge of this dragon king was very limited. If the King of the Sea and Water still has the Leviathan's observation record eight years ago, then this King of the Sky and Wind is really hidden in history, quietly looking at the world that has been set foot by humans outside, waiting for the day when it will be turned upside down.

"It's not that we didn't know anything about him or them, it's just that no one recognized him at the time." Ange said quietly, "A hundred years ago, on the night of the fall of the Kassel Manor, one of their dragon kings appeared in the manor......"

He didn't say any more, but everyone knew what he wanted to say, a hundred years ago in the Kassel Manor, the leader of the secret party, Cross Rose, would be severely damaged, and the elite Lionheart who would succeed him, except for Angers, all the high-ranking people would die in battle. It was one of the most humiliating nights in the history of the Secret Order, and the rain and thunder seemed to mock the powerlessness of mankind.

The dragon king who invaded the Kassel manor van disappeared after an explosion that flattened the entire manor. No one knows if he died in Kassel Manor with the Deadpools, or if he had escaped and hid in an unknown corner.

……

"Listen, girl, we're not going to bother with it, after all, it's just a mindless skeleton right now." Somewhere in Valhalla, Menek looked at the petite white-gold girl in front of him and was in trouble.

Behind him, Lu Shanyan, ghosts, and tigers ...... A group of the original Lionheart high-ranking people were also blocked by the girl in front of them.

Zero, who was in front of them, had already changed out of his swimsuit and put on a white-dressed, which looked ordinary, but soft, and only his hair was still a little wet. She quietly looked at the ancestors of the Lionheart, there was no emotion on her delicate little face, and she didn't say anything.

They were in a very large room, empty of nothing except for a huge bone dragon lying in the middle of the hall.

There was a little blue flame dancing in the dark eyes of the bone dragon, like a dark golden skeleton cast of metal, motionless, crawling there like a fossil, at first glance there was a strange sense of art.

Zero was stuck between it and the Lionhearts, its petite body motionless, not allowing the Lionhearts ancestors to get any closer to it.

Looking at the girl holding the bear doll in front of her, like a pearl in the palm of her hand, Menek said weakly: "I know you are friends, and if you don't let us get close to it, you are afraid that we will hurt it." But there is a debtor and a debtor, even if we want to take revenge, we will not be unable to get along with a skeleton who has no consciousness at all. ”

Zero still didn't speak, still looking at them without saying a word, this attitude made Menek's head grow for a while.

Lu Shanyan behind him stood up and said, "According to the current three examples, although the dragon kings are hostile to each other, the feelings between the twins on each throne are beyond our expectations, far more than ordinary family members. ”

"Aren't you wondering why it is the way it is? And why did its brother let its corpse wander out and be used by humans who seemed to them to be extremely lowly. He glanced at the bones of the dragon king, who had been dead for a long time after Zero, only the body was still wandering, and the body had long since lost its knowledge of which corner of the egg was waiting for rebirth.

With zero movements, she looked back at the dragon lurking in the shadows, with little self-awareness. When not summoned to the outside world, it remains in Valhalla like a real dead thing. At this time, the flames that wrapped around its body were also extinguished, and only a little blue light in its eyes shone faintly.

She turned her head and said, her face still cold, "I know, after all, it's just a skeleton now, and it won't answer your questions." ”

Zero responded with their previous answers, leaving Menek on the other side helpless.

"But you also want to know where its eggs are, right?" Menek shrugged, "Although it is the same body, it is not the same person as the dragon lord we met in the past. You should know that the eggs we find through it will not change after that, no matter what kind of existence the new dragon lord is, this skeleton is your good friend. ”

"After all, when you encountered it, the dragon king in it was still asleep, and it was already an unconscious body at that time." Lu Shanyan added.

Zero was silent for a moment, she didn't need their special explanation, she was very clear about this matter.

And while they were talking, the bones of the Dragon King, which were originally lying quietly behind them, suddenly moved. The dark blue flames pulsed, spreading out from a black eye socket and gradually covering the whole body.

The blue firelight illuminated the somewhat dark room, and with a wave of its wings, the bone dragon stood on its hind feet. The eyes filled with blue flames stared in a certain direction, and the hideous mouth exhaled blue flames as if they were roaring.

……

The conference hall was still silent, and everyone looked silently at Ange, who was at the head of the round table. He silently took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on, looking unusually natural, not like he had been poked in the sore spot.

"Since you don't have a problem, then I'll ask another question." Beowulf looked at him and said, "What is it that destroyed the sword of Damocles?" ”

His red golden eyes were firmly fixed on Ange: "Although we minimized the follow-up impact through public opinion in time, the mirage and collective illusion can only deceive ordinary people, and even the governments of various countries will not believe such an excuse." ”

The movements on Ange's hand remained unchanged, and he said with a natural expression: "It's a pity that I also entered the collective illusion together, and the last thing I saw was only a clear sky." ”

"Angers! I'm not kidding you! Beowulf suddenly stood up and said loudly, the dragon's appearance was like a real dragon.

This movement frightened "newcomers" such as Yin Lizabeth and the young school director, but the other elders did not react to it. Frost from the previous school board seemed to them to be a joke, and they were tired of seeing the two arguing with each other decades ago, when the Kassel Academy was not yet established, and it was not unheard of that they had almost fought.

Beowulf continued: "Such a huge satellite has disappeared silently, and you explain it with such reasons, do you believe it yourself? There is no doubt that a third party other than us and the Dragon Lord has set foot on the battlefield, and has the ability to easily erase a crisis that can affect half the world. ”

"So, what do you see?" Ange looked at him quietly and asked rhetorically, "You were not far from the Mediterranean Sea at that time, and it was impossible to hide what happened over the Mediterranean Sea from you, so what did you see there?" ”

Beowulf fell silent suddenly, and his golden eyes darkened a little. After a long time, he slowly said, "...... Nothing, over the Mediterranean Sea at that time, there was nothing. ”

Yes, even though the clouds are over the Mediterranean, there are huge moons falling like the end of the world. However, for a certain period of time, it was as if the various cataclysms that had occurred there had been suddenly erased, the wind and rain disappeared, the crisis that threatened half the world, and the various missiles they launched to fight that crisis all disappeared without exception.

According to a religious tourist who later experienced the disaster, an angel was seen ringing a bell in the dark clouds, and then God came down and wiped out the setting sun. Another person said that it was a huge humanoid weapon about twenty meters away that flashed green light and pushed the falling satellite back. At this point, his companion retorted to him, saying that it was indeed the giant robot that destroyed the colony satellite, but it was a huge humanoid weapon with gorgeous white wings that destroyed the satellite with its own two-pack beam rifles...... By the way, they are both fans of a well-known machine battle animation.

All of them had strange answers, but they had a strange similarity, and that was related to their own beliefs. If the so-called miracle is excluded, then as Ange said, they fell into a collective vision.

At a certain moment, some cheerful mobile phone ringtones rang in the solemn conference hall, everyone you look at me, I look at yours, and then unify their eyes on Ange.

Ange pressed the answer button as if no one was there, and said, "You should know that during the meeting, unless it is the end of the world or the awakening of the dragon king, don't disturb this side." ”

"Huh?" He paused suddenly, then sat up straight, "You said, you found the fleeing Leviathan, and there's another dragon king......"
