"Mr. Menek, we just went to the toilet." Fingal grinned and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Six people together?" Meneke glanced at Fingal with a smirk.

"Haha, that's right." Fingal is serious nonsense.

Menek didn't say anything, but felt a strange sense of intimacy, and he looked at the young people as if he were looking at his juniors.

"Tea is being drunk upstairs." He smiled, "Would you like to go get some drinks too?" ”

Fingal and Lu Mingfei stared at each other.

"No problem!" Lu Mingfei gestured with his eyes.

"I can't ask for it." Fingal turned to look at Menek.

"Although we have only known each other for a short time, I think you are trustworthy people, and I have always been very accurate in seeing people."

"It would be better if you could talk to the elderly." Menek shrugged, "After all, there are some things that are inconvenient to say in my capacity. ”

……

……

Darjeeling tea from India is cooked to a very rich point and then added with fresh milk.

Viscount Charlotte sat in the classical study of the Kassel Manor, among the countless bookshelves, enjoying this authentic English tea, looking at the rainy sky outside, faintly, the dark clouds rolling, the real heavy rain had not yet fallen, and the sky seemed to try its best to restrain the desire for a torrential rain.

Mendelssohn's piano music was playing on the rocker, the Marquis of Gambett was eating freshly baked muffins, and Lord Mayek admired the delicate bone china, and the three had not spoken for a long time.

There was a knock on the door, breaking the silence.

"Please come in." Said Viscount Charlotte.

"Hello." Fingal nodded and came in, followed by a large group of people.

"Looks like I'm going to have some more teacups." Viscount Charlotte raised his gray eyebrows and was about to get up.

"How can you come to such a thing?" Fingal hurriedly pressed the old man's shoulder, "Tell us, let's take it ourselves." ”

"The teacup is in the cabinet in the second drawer on the left, and you can use it when you take it out, and you don't need to wash it." Viscount Charlotte said softly, he hadn't been so relaxed in many years.

"Do you feel familiar with this group of young people?" The Marquis of Gambett whispered to him, "It can even be called cordial." ”

"I have it too." Viscount Charlotte replied, "Are they also half-bloods?" Because of the "sorrow of blood", it is impossible for us to feel intimate with ordinary human beings. ”

"It's possible." Marquis Gambet nodded, "It shouldn't be a coincidence that they came to the manor. ”

"Perhaps."

"Speaking of which, I'm really old, and when I encounter this kind of thing when I'm young, I will definitely stand next to the doctor with excitement." Viscount Charlotte said leisurely, holding a teacup in one hand and playing with his outdated flintlock pistol in the other.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and he raised his eyes to see Fingal making tea.

"Of course you're old, you deserve to die." Lord Mayek responded slowly, but unceremoniously.

The old guys are no longer angry at such sharp words, they have been partners for too many years, and they have gone from being fierce competitors to being conjoined triplets now.

"Menek is right, it's the time of science, maybe it's our chance to strike back." "Perhaps we will have time to do something before we die," said the Marquis de Gambet. ”

"But I think we've been fighting them for hundreds of years," said Viscount Charlotte, "and none of their hiding places have escaped our grasp." ”

"That's just the surface, as long as there is a recovery, we are in big trouble." Lord Mayek said.

"It's not impossible to revive it, we can use the cannon with silver warheads, and blast them into a bunch of cells!" Said Viscount Charlotte.

"But what do you think the emperor would explain to the people in that case? We killed a dragon with heavy artillery? ”

"Guys, let me interrupt......," Fingal raised his hand weakly, "Actually, we all know, we're half-bloods. ”

"Guess a lot." Viscount Charlotte nodded, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "So...... What are you here for? ”

"I'm going to say we're here for no reason, believe it or not?" Fingal wept sadly, and he was still indignant when he said it.

"Faith." Viscount Charlotte nodded.

"I also said that we are actually secret parties, do you believe it or not?"

"Letter...... Wait, you're also a secret party? Viscount Charlotte's cloudy eyes widened.

"Dragon's Blood Secret Party China Branch!" Fingal stood up straight and patted his chest with a proud face, "I'm getting rich!" ”

"I didn't expect Shan Yan to develop so many secret parties in China." Viscount Charlotte smiled, "It's really good, it's faster than I expected." ”

"Of course, now is the age of technology, and radio waves will bring information to China and even to every corner of the world, but there are also downsides."

"When the time comes, everyone from Japan to the Americas will try to figure out what the truth of the world really is." Lord Mayek said.

"The stuff of the legends is really there, and I can imagine how devastating it must have been, and the power of power can be abused."

Viscount Charlotte frowned, "Yes, in the era of the Kingdom of Prussia, we only had to dig a pit and bury the corpse, and give the peasants a little money to solve the problem, the age of science is really terrible." ”

】

Lu Mingfei quietly stabbed Fingal underneath, and Fingal said that he was innocent.

"You're the one who scolds! You're a paparazzi king! Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

"But science is also powerful, and now that our railways are so well connected that we can go up to the skies with airships, and I've heard that there are people working on heavier-than-air aircraft like birds, and we have guns, and we have guns and backyard filling, and they're powerful," Lord Mayek looked at his two old companions, "why don't we try to start a war and solve all problems at once?" ”

"The emperor thinks the same way, why not start a war and settle the whole of Europe at once?" Marquis Gambette smiled, "He talked to me about this last week. ”

"That's what I thought too!" Fingal suddenly shouted in a flash.

"Do you mean the German Kaiser or our ideas?" Viscount Charlotte laughed again, he always laughed tonight.

"Of course, it's the idea of the secret party." Fingal said, "I think it's time to start a general war against the dragons and get rid of them once and for all." ”

"Well said, young man, I am not as interested in the great German Emperor as I am in Niedhogg." Lord Mayek said.

"Nidhogg?" Viscount Charlotte frowned, "I'm also interested in him. ”

"The Dragon Emperor Nidhogg, the ancestor of all dragons, if you kill him, you kill all the dragons, as the scriptures say." Lord Mayek lowered his voice.

"First of all, can we believe the words of the ancients who had no guns and could only slay dragons with cold weapons, second, we have to find Nidhogg, and finally, we have to kill him, he hasn't been seen for thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to really hurt him." The Marquis Beninte's eyes lit up slightly, "Mayek, my old friend, I heard that you have some new ideas to tell us. ”

"You're right, no one can kill Nidhogg, only he can kill Nidhogg." Lord Mayek whispered.

"A few boys, you might have to avoid it." Viscount Charlotte said in a surging voice.

Fingal was stunned for a moment, and then the three old men leaned forward in unison, wrapping up the secret conversation between them, and a purple mountain that ran across the sky directly to the earth, and the mournful light illuminated their backs.

After a long secret conversation, the three of them were tired as if they had gone through an obstacle course, and returned to their sitting posture on the back of their chairs, and they were silent in unison.

"What do you think of Menek?" Lord Mayek asked.

"Although he was a playful child, he and his friends were brave and smart enough, just like we were back then." Said the Marquis of Beninte.

"Then I hereby propose, that Menek Kassel, a descendant of the House of Kassel, be the next leader of the Secret Order, and take the place of our Council of Elders," Lord Mayek said, raising his hand, "it is time for us to renew our blood. ”

After a brief silence, both Viscount Charlotte and the Marquis of Gambernin raised their hands, and thus the vote was completed, which was of great importance but very brief.

Lord Mayek smiled, "Old folks, we haven't felt this easy in many years, and my next proposal is, why don't we set up an academy?" ”

"Academy?" The Marquis of Gambet was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, that's right, Academy!"

"An academy that teaches secret knowledge only admits a limited number of students, but they should be the most outstanding, the most elite, and the best!" Lord Mayek clenched his fists, "We will organize an army with them!" Win our war! ”

Viscount Charlotte and Marquis Gambert were silent together, and after a long time, Viscount Charlotte sighed, "Mayek, you, like Menek, are a young man with restless blood in your veins!" Your great-grandchildren can run away on their bicycles, and you old bones don't want to lie down and die quietly. ”

"To win this war, we should be prepared for great sacrifices, and we will need more people to help us. Like Menek, their "Lionheart". ”

"And now it's the age of science, and we have to learn to arm ourselves with science."

"We can find the best teachers for young people, provide the best conditions, and train them into incomparable elites, and there are only a handful of people in the world who have the financial resources and influence like us, and we will become stronger with the help of education!" Mayek held up a hand, "Is it okay to vote by a show of hands now?" ”

Viscount Charlotte and Marquis Gambet glanced at each other, and the two of them raised their hands together.

"All right," Viscount Charlotte smiled, "I only hope that when the first cadets graduate, I will live to confer degrees on them with my own hands, and satisfy my vanity as an old man." ”

"What's the name of the college?" Marquis Gambette asked.

"Since Oxford and Cambridge are named after places, why don't we name them Kassel Academy? We founded the academy in the Kassel estate. Viscount Charlotte proposed.

"Good Kassel Academy! Then it was decided. Lord Mayek stood up, "Then here today are the three trustees of the Kassel Academy, shouldn't we celebrate?" I should go to the cellar and find a good bottle of wine. ”

"Don't go there for now, I think the cellar is in full swing," said Viscount Charlotte, "and we may as well think of how to build this academy, I insist that physical fitness is one of the most important qualities of our pupils, and that we should build them the best stadium possible." ”

"That's right! There should be a lot of sports facilities like the Colosseum, right, do you remember the Olympics that Coubertin hosted in Greece five years ago? We deserve to have such a luxurious sports venue! He was a little excited as he spoke.

"There should be divisions, three divisions, one for technology, one for alchemy, and one for biological anatomy, and students should be encouraged to form their own organizations, like the Brotherhood of the Lionhearts, where they will have their own clique of culture."

"This power will be very strong, and we should love to fund these fraternities, and there will be beautiful girls in the fraternity, so that the boys will be better united!"

Marquis Gambette touched his chin in relief and thought, "We have to say that thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Mayek was a genius who could come up with such a good idea, so that we have a lot to do. ”

The old men were happily discussing and shaking hands with each other, they were classmates in Oxford, and even members of the same brotherhood, and their minds were open, and they all thought of the shared memories of the slender legs of the girls running on the sports field when they were classmates in Oxford, and they felt that they were young again, and the blood flow was accelerating, and the smiles were blooming.

Menek looked up blankly, looked at the second floor, and listened to the smooth and cheerful laughter of those old guys coming out of the window, very puzzled.

"What are they happy about?" Lu Shanyan was also puzzled, put down the telescope in his hand and walked to Menek's side.

Menek frowned and shook his head, "I really don't know, as a group of people who control half of the country's wealth but are about to go to the ground, they are now as small as the little gangsters who whistle when they see a beautiful girl in a bar. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a loud whistle cut through the air, like a sparrow taking off, through the window, and disappeared on this stormy night, which was evidently the voice of the Marquis of Gambet.

Menek and Lu Shanyan looked at each other.

"Did you prepare a girl for them upstairs in addition to English tea?"

"How is that possible?" "I'm not a very serious person, but I also have to take care of the cardiovascular health of those old guys, do you think it will do us any good to make them get excited by nosebleeds?" ”

"But that laughter was really obscene." Lu Shanyan spread his hands.

……

……

"A couple of lads." Viscount Charlotte turned to the few people next to him who were staring at him without saying anything, "Do you want to be the first batch of students at the Kassel Academy?" ”

"It's an honor." Fingal rarely put away his frivolity and said solemnly.
