"A-class mission? Is it so urgent? Seeing that Schneider had gone out specifically for this task, Manstein sat down at the table, noticed the other party's cloudy but cold gaze, and quickly asked: "What level of dragon is the target?" ”

The tasks of the Kassel Academy, like the bloodline, are divided into different levels. The priority is from high to low, and they are ABCDEF level...... Special missions above the rank are designated as "S" ranks. Usually, there is a correlation with the pedigree rating of the required specialist.

Since there is no E-class F-class low-blood hybrid in the headquarters of Kassel Academy, the tasks of the E-class and F-level are actually procurement, maintenance, news aggregation and other non-dangerous things, and from the D-level onwards, there will be targets with dragon elements.

And when it comes to the level of A-level tasks, Norma estimates that the commissioners of A-level bloodline will also have a high probability of casualties or failure ratings when performing this mission, and at least a few A-level executives with elites can complete it.

This is indeed a relatively rare and difficult task, but at least a few things must be ushered in in a month, so as not to make Professor Schneider seem a little urgent.

"It is likely to be a nobleman among the pure-blooded dragons, a rare high-risk target." Schneider dragged a trolley in his hand and walked to the center of the main control room, his voice low and hoarse, and he was so creepy that he could hear it.

His face was covered in a black mask, a gas pipe leading to a cylinder on the cart, and his neck was covered in dark red scars. His breathing was low and sticky, like a broken bellows, and his iron-gray eyes swept coldly, daunting.

The experts and interns in the central control room immediately lowered the sound of communication and spread out in all directions to avoid interfering with Professor Schneider's speech and movements.

"A nobleman among the dragons?" Guderian woke up at the right time, unveiled the nightcap with the Pikachu pattern on his head, and said with some surprise: "There is an extremely significant class gap between noble dragons of three generations or more and ordinary dragons of four generations and below. ”

"The high-level dragon clan, which started from three generations, as long as they prepare their 'eggs' before death and complete the 'cocooning' of their souls, they can hatch again and come back from the dead. Their lifespan is far longer than human imagination, so they are also called 'ancient species'. ”

"For the fourth-generation and fifth-generation dragons, due to genetic degradation, when they are about to end their lifespan or are seriously injured and dying, they will take the initiative to build a dragon tomb and enter it to sleep for a long time, waiting for a recovery after thousands of years."

Guderian added: "But this must be done in a relatively well-preserved body, and if the nervous system is completely destroyed, it will fall into a real death like a normal creature." ”

"The higher the level of the dragon, the stronger the vitality." Schneider nodded slightly: "The executive minister has searched for hidden dragon tombs in Egypt, Mexico, South American rainforests, XJ, Greenland and other places for many years, and most of the ordinary dragons of three generations later are disguised as mummies and ancient corpses, and they are still lying motionless in the coffin after thousands of years, until they sense the great danger before they urgently recover, greet the enemy with an incomplete attitude, and then be wiped out in the dragon tomb by the elite commissioner, and finally die." ”

"But the real high-level dragons are different, they have the ability to cocoon their souls, they have no worries, they are usually quite active, even if their bodies are completely destroyed by the dragon slayers, they can be resurrected and come back to carry out cruel revenge on humans."

"In the history of the secret party, there is no shortage of records of three generations, two generations, and even the first generation of dragon kings being killed by humans." Schneider's expression was solemn: "However, the vast majority of these high-level dragons have only fallen into a cocooned sleep, and they have really been confirmed, and there are only a few cases where even the dragon and the cocoon have been destroyed. ”

"There is always a life in the world, and every time it dies is for the sake of returning." Manstein cites a quote from the Fragment of the Ice Sea: "Legend has it that the rebellious nobles of the dragon clan were to be tied to bronze pillars and sunk into the depths of the sea, where they were eaten by hordes of dragon vipers along with the bronze pillars." Because the nobles could be resurrected through cocooning, it was seen as a form of torture, and after enduring the torture, the crime was cleared. ”

"But in this A-class mission, we may have a chance to completely kill a high-level dragon that has just been resurrected." Schneider smiled hoarsely: "The target is resurrected in human form, most likely in a state of amnesia, and has not had time to form its cocoon." ”

At this point, he gestured.

The 3D projection image has changed, and the 5-meter-high virtual earth has disappeared, converted into a multi-sided black-and-white video shot by a surveillance camera, densely packed with snowflakes, and the clarity is extremely poor, and it is vaguely recognizable that there is a beautiful girl in ancient costume, who is talking to passers-by.

Schneider put his finger into the projection, and soon clicked on another audio, from which came a faint female voice, which sounded sifted from the background, a bit like the Chinese that the Kassel Academy had been popularizing since a few years ago, but no one present could understand it.

"This is a video taken by a roadside camera in Binhai City, Huaxia a few days ago, and there are several clips taken from the telephone recordings of nearby passers-by."

Looking at Manstein and Guderian, who looked a little dazed, he explained solemnly: "After Norma's in-depth analysis, the target's clothing, speech, and pronunciation all have a large number of characteristics of the pre-Qin period, specifically, it should be the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

"You mean, this girl who politely asks for directions is actually a high-level dragon who has fallen into a slumber more than two thousand years ago and is now resurrected?" Manstein quickly sorted out the clues: "From the geographical point of view, Binhai City in the southeast region did belong to the territory of the Yue Kingdom back then. ”

"But why are the ferocious and tyrannical dragons so polite when communicating with the locals?" Guderian yawned and asked: "Judging from the surveillance video, the other party even has a good habit of helping the grandmother cross the road, which is really incredible." ”

"Is it possible that she is just a middle school girl who likes to wear traditional clothes and imitate ancient voices?" He touched his head and whispered uncertainly, "I heard that this special dress is called cosplay in R book, and it doesn't seem to be unusual. ”

"I've never seen a middle school girl who doesn't go to school all day and moves faster than an Olympic champion in the city." Schneider switched the projection to a 3D map of the city, which marked the time points of the girls in red at the time of the appearance of each monitoring probe, connected into a large piece:

"From the statistical analysis, the fastest movement speed of the target between the two monitoring probes has reached at least 5.23 seconds in 100 meters, which is at least a sprint that can only be achieved by A-level hybrids, in the absence of speed-type words."

"In addition, Norma has never found any matching girls in the identity information registered in several surrounding cities, including Binhai City." Schneider gave his conclusion: "Therefore, there is no doubt that this is a resuscitated dragon, with incomplete memories and in a state of adaptation to human society." ”

Some dragons suffer from amnesia during repeated cocooning and resurrection, and if they are resurrected in human form, they will mistakenly believe that they are human, and even live in human society for many years.

Every time these high-level dragons wake up, their initial strength is incomplete, and they don't even have memories, they need to have a process of understanding their own bloodlines, just like half-bloods, but once they recover their memories, they become dragons, and they don't get entangled in what they are.

"In ancient and modern times, the revived dragons only need to rely on their innate strong spirits and simple golden pupils to create illusions, so that ordinary people can accept their existence, so that they can secretly lurk among humans and gradually regain their full strength."

Schneider said hoarsely, "But in modern times, with surveillance and strict identity registration, dragons' camouflage capabilities have begun to lag behind the times, and it is difficult to complete the lurking without flaws." The power of human science and technology has made unprecedented progress in the cause of dragon slaying. ”

"Actually, it's not just the Academy, but by some means, the 'Hunter Market' discovered the target's anomaly earlier." He opened a new screenshot and slowly added, "It was after noticing this $10 million bounty post on the hunter's website that Norma came up with this series of in-depth analysis." ”

"The hunter ID who posted this quest is actually a dead man." Schneider continued to pull out a string of data: "Just yesterday, this veteran hunter was blown up by a rocket and his bones were destroyed in a conflict during an arms deal in Lbia, so this is a ghost account that is about to be deleted. ”

"The person behind the scenes is likely to involve Nido, the mysterious administrator of the Hunter website, or some covert organization secretly intervened to cause the Hunter's death and seize the account...... This further increases the danger behind the mission, implying that there are forces outside the academy meddling. ”

"Something inexplicable is involved in this." Manstein said: "It's annoying, it looks like we have to finish this task as soon as possible." ”

"Anyway, to deal with the ancient species with mysterious abilities, in order to reduce the casualties of the commissioner of the executive department, the principal should personally dispatch." Guderian said nonchalantly, "We just need to follow his orders." ”

"However, when it comes to the revival of high-level dragons, there are still dragons that have not had time to cocoon, and they even need to compete with a large number of hunters who are eyeing their targets, is this kind of task only A-grade?" Manstein asked.

"Actually, it's enough to be S-class." Schneider pressed his hand on the mask: "It's not marked as S-level, it's just because the principal has been out of business recently, and he can't come in time, and the executive department is not sure about the goal of dealing with the second generation and above, so it needs to be explored first to confirm the specific rank." ”

"In addition, it is necessary to keep the aggressive hunters at bay and prevent them from using some dangerous means."

"A high-level dragon who has not yet awakened his memory, stimulated by an external attack to regain his strength, and then kills in the city, this will undoubtedly be a more serious disaster than the Greenland Sea, and it will also mean that all aspects of the dragon's existence are leaked."

"We must not let a pure-blooded dragon get out of our surveillance, for them, the first priority is to capture alive, followed by killing. If this kind of thing is out of control, the whole world will be turned upside down. Schneider's eyes lit up and he spoke slowly.

Two years ago, in Greenland, a mysterious creature suspected of being an ancient dragon engulfed the entire sea, and Schneider was the only survivor. Although he survived, his face and respiratory system were still destroyed by the extreme cold, making others no one and no one, and he had to wear a respirator for the rest of his life.

But what made him even more painful were the students who sacrificed, most of the students who followed him on the mission at that time were students under his name, Schneider was very keen on education, and was always surrounded by excellent students.

After that, his personality changed drastically, completely put down his education work, transferred to the executive department, and in the battle against dragons, he was extremely tough. This was not atonement but revenge, and it was for this reason that Schneider received strong support from the headmaster, Angers.

"So this mission is just a leading intelligence investigation, and the goal is the same as those hunters?" Manstein suddenly realized: "Hurry up, what kind of equipment do we have that are the closest commissioners to Marina City and can provide immediate support?" ”

The experts on the side had already made preparations and reported: "Ye Sheng and Jiude Yaji, students of the class of 2003, are both of A-level blood, respectively from the Department of Alchemy Machinery and the Department of Dragon History, and are traveling in another city more than 100 kilometers away during the holidays...... In addition, in 2003, an outstanding student who came to the college from the R branch for further study, A+ blood, and the Department of Philosophy, is taking a flight from country M to R and is about to arrive in Tokyo, so he can immediately transfer to the target location. ”

"It's so unsafe to be a student." Guderian muttered: "Especially that Yuan Zhisheng, the distance is not too close, and he is still an outsider from the R branch, why did he be transferred?" ”

"Because there are not many students who are free and are A-level, and at the A-level level, although they are still students, with the blessing of bloodline and speech, their real strength is already stronger than most of the commissioners of the Executive Department."

Schneider whispered: "Judging from the performance of the internship tasks in the first two semesters, Yuan Zhisheng can be regarded as one of the best people in the academy at present, it is said that he has independently eliminated the high-risk hybrids that have gone out of control long before entering the school, and has obtained the permission of the Mirror Heart Wise Stream, and is quite proficient in cold weapon warfare - you should know that Huaxia is a country that prohibits guns, and it is not easy to use high-powered guns." Moreover, these students are yellow faces, and should be better suited to the task of this investigation than the exposed whites. ”

"Of course, in order to ensure the safety of this mission, a group of A-level senior instructors will arrive immediately after, carrying support materials, such as frigga bullets, mercury core blunt gold armor-piercing bullets, dragon breath bullets, etc., to work with the students."

"If it is discovered that the target is not a dragon, but a high-level hybrid with a probability of less than 1‰, the commissioners will also abort the mission in time and change to another form of contact." Schneider said: "However, this probability is too low, otherwise I am looking forward to recruiting new students so that there will be new trump cards in the executive department." ”

"Well, I wish the target was actually a homeless, roaming S-class half-breed so that I could have a chance to be named a tenured professor." Guderian, who didn't care about the affairs of the Executive Department, said lazily and put on his nightcap with a Pikachu pattern again.

"Come and see the evening news in Marina City." At the same time, an intern who was looking for relevant information suddenly found a suspicious news broadcast by the local media on the Internet, and immediately called for others to come and analyze it.

……

At the same time, in a small coastal town 18,000 kilometers away, no one expected that through the analysis of clues, the Kassel Academy would regard itself as a revived high-level dragon.

Relying on strong artificial intelligence and supercomputers that far exceed the level of science and technology in the current era, despite the lack of individual high-end combat power, the secret party and the academy do have the capital to carry out dragon slaying tasks all over the world.

On the 21st floor of Runde Building, a group of people counted the materials of the "Millennium Labor Export Company", and the personal collection and property amount of the boss Tang Wei.

"The amount of liquid assets that can be called is about 78 million." Chu Zihang, who looked like a good student, leaned on several large bundles of hundred-yuan bills, and reported with an unchanged expression: "Among them, gold bars and cash account for two-thirds, and there are also several high-value real estate ......."

For him, although he is the third richest stepson in the city, it is the first time he has seen so much cash - usually speaking, Chu Zihang's stepfather Lu Tianming seems quite generous, but in middle school, when food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged, his pocket money is only a few thousand per month, and it is estimated that he can only be greatly liberalized by college.

This is also the reason why Zhao Qing did not take into account the property of the Lu family when he established the outpost in this realm, and the tens of millions of money that Tang Wei could use immediately in his hands were actually enough to do quite a lot of big things.

On the opposite side of Chu Zihang, in addition to the original three companions, there was also a figure that seemed to be condensed by holy light, it was Zhao Qing who came from afar, although it seemed to be just the incarnation of light and shadow, but he still had the ability to pick up items and touch entities.

Thanks to the migrated ice crystal white cloud above the Runde Building, this kidney body god that she differentiated from can not only communicate with the body in real time, but also control the water vitality that is several times stronger than the normal state, condensing water vapor into gelatin, and simulating the form of a real person.

Just now, Zhao Qing easily hypnotized and soothed the emotions of dozens of security guards and front desk girls, so that some of them went home to sleep first, forgot the extraordinary elements in the company's robbery incident, and still chose to work for the company that was reorganized next.

Originally, she asked Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu to come over to adapt and prepare for further tasks, and she also took the time to order a meal with KFC, which was open as usual during Typhoon, and invited everyone to eat and drink, and by the way, she reminisced about the familiar taste of the past.

And the more important thing is naturally to deal with the bounty task on the hunter website, and carefully check the only two half-bloods on hand, Chu Zihang and Tang Wei, a few times, and preliminarily analyze the mystery of the dragon bloodline on their bodies.

In addition, in the modern information society, Zhao Qing immediately ordered a series of computer equipment, ready to supplement her previous research in computing power, to develop an "artificial intelligence" that can compete with Norma of the Kassel Academy.

"Don't worry about the permanent loss of this money." Towards the decadent "Three Youths" Tang Wei gestured, Zhao Qing said lightly: "Reach a cooperation with our 'Kunlun Salvation Association', and your future harvest will far exceed the level of a third-rate 'hunter'." ”

"Kunlun Salvation Society?" Chu Zihang raised his hand and asked, "What is the goal of our organization's action?" How many more members are there? What is the real world like? ”

"That's a good question." Zhao Qing smiled slightly and replied: "As the name suggests, the purpose of the 'Salvation Society' is naturally to save this world that is in danger of extinction, so that the splendid human civilization in the world can be preserved. In fact, there are many members of this organization, but only a few have come into this world. ”

Why does it sound like a god chattering about the threat of extinction, like an illegal religion? However, the mythical Odin has emerged, and it is difficult to say that there are no other gods and ghosts in the world, and there is no so-called "Ragnarok, the end is coming".

Chu Zihang thought in his heart and continued to ask: "Last night, I witnessed the god king Odin in Norse mythology taking the life of my biological father. This senior, do you know the information about the other party and his black shadow 'Deadpool'? ”

"At present, it seems that Odin, the 'god' who lives in the Nibelungen, should be inseparable from the dragons who ruled this world in the past." Zhao Qing introduced: "You must already know that your bloodline is a little different from ordinary people, and you have also seen many pictures from ancient times. ”

"Beings like you and Chu Tianjiao are often referred to as dragon bloodlines or hybrids, that is, hybrids that have been passed down from generation to generation after humans and dragons were hybridized in ancient times, and most of them are on the side of humans, and they are hostile to the various dragons created by the Black King Nidhogg."

She glanced at Tang Wei on the side: "And the most prominent feature of the half-breed should be the golden pupil that can release Long Wei, if the bloodline is not bad, there is a chance to awaken a special power called 'Yan Ling' or 'True Word Technique'." ”

Tang Wei's golden pupil can scare off many monsters when digging up ancient tombs involving dragon factors, such a performance should not fail to meet the bloodline standard of awakening the spirit of speech, and it is likely that the cultivation of wild hybrids in China does not pay much attention to it, mainly because of the family-type forces.

Although the Kassel Academy also recruits students in China and has a special preparatory class, it should not be large in scale, but it has only initially established a Huaxia branch, mainly recruiting alumni relatives and wild hybrids that have been discovered by accident.

In fact, the patriarch of the secret party and the "half-breed giant" where the academy director is located, except for Caesar Gattuso, there is no one else enrolled in Kassel, which is also the reason why Caesar, who is quite sluggish, easily dominates the academy.

Excavating wild hybrids like Tang Wei and snatching away some of the outstanding bloodlines that would have joined the Kassel Academy is one of Zhao Qing's next goals, and by analyzing the essence of these people's words and spirits, he must be able to gain a lot.

"Judging from the situation you described earlier, the spirit of speech mastered by your father is an extremely rare and powerful 'Time Zero', which belongs to the highest-level S-class hybrid in the newly established rating system abroad in the past hundred years."

Zhao Qing slowly explained: "And the enemy he faced last night, Odin, is a bit mysterious, suspected to be the existence of the four major monarch levels or even higher in the dragon clan, and there is very little information at present. However, the dark shadows around Odin are undoubtedly Deadpool, who is usually transformed from runaway hybrids and is ruled by high-level dragons. ”

"When Odin appeared, he said that he would open the 'path to godhood' for us." Chu Zihang recalled the details of last night, and asked with a solemn expression: "The so-called 'Road to the Gods' is to change from a half-breed to Deadpool and become a servant of the dragons?" ”

"There should be a big difference." Zhao Qing replied: "Because the meaning of 'Path to the Gods' seems to be to let the half-breed evolve into a real dragon and become an almost 'god'-like existence. ”

"The vast majority of Deadpools are far from being able to compare with pure-blooded dragons, they have lost their sanity, they are almost no different from dead people, and they have no ability to use words and spirits before they were alive. Only a very small number of high-level Deadpools, under the means of high-level dragons, can maintain their sanity, and can still use words and spirits to obtain a longer life, even more powerful than before. ”

"If Odin hadn't lied, with your father's S-class hybrid, he wouldn't have really died, or been transformed into a high-level Deadpool, or had stepped into the path of becoming a dragon...... Eventually, it became an existence similar to the mythical Heroic Spirit. ”

"And no matter which one of them is, most of them will take a certain amount of time to change."

"Here are the two major tasks you need to complete." Zhao Qing smiled and said: "First, it is to collect enough information about dragons and half-bloods, and research a way to reverse the 'Deadpool' and crack the principle of the 'Road to the Gods'; ”

Legend has it that the main god Odin had anticipated the "twilight of the gods" and ordered his handmaidens to travel to battlefields around the world, choosing brave warriors to prepare for the war of the end of the world.

Known as "Valkyrie" or "Valkyries", these handmaidens rode horses through bloody battlefields, kissed the lips of dying warriors, and carried their souls to Valhalla.

In the lavish palace with 540 gates, each of which could accommodate 800 warriors side by side, the warriors spent their days training their skills and could come back from the dead even on the training ground, and at night they were served by the Valkyries to eat large bowls of meat and drink the milk of the goats.

Until the day of the end of the world, 540 gates were opened at the same time, and all the heroic spirits in the history of mankind flocked out to the battlefield of death.

The highlight of Norse mythology is tragic and grandiose, coupled with the reverie-inducing element of "Valkyrie's Kiss", which can't help but be impressive.

"That man, he's going to become the Heroic Spirit of Valhalla?" After learning about the relevant information, Chu Zihang was obviously a little surprised and found it difficult to accept, but compared to Chu Tianjiao's real and complete death, this ending was undoubtedly much better.

As for saving the man from Odin, he is actually not very optimistic about the so-called "Kunlun Salvation Society", no matter how you look at it, this is just a newly founded grass platform team, and there are only a few young people who seem to have emerged from an isolated place, and the first fund has to be robbed.

Nangong Caishu, who performed best in the battle, although he was invincible among ordinary people, was still a big step behind Chu Tianjiao in the big scene of holding a knife in the Deadpool group, and he might not really be able to provide much help for his revenge.

So Chu Zihang thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of a university called 'Kassel'?" ”
