"Caesar's fate is unknown now, but you don't seem nervous." Ange looked him in the eye.

"Nervous is nervous, but I can't look for your ballast, can I? We're brothers! I'm here for fear that Frost will mess things up, my stupid brother is in a terrible mental state and manic, and if he comes, he might put a gun to your head. ”

Pompeii patted Ange on the shoulder and made an intimate gesture, "But don't blame him, our family has a hereditary neuropathy, and our ancestors have had mania for generations. ”

"Do you really care about your son?"

"Concern, why don't I ride an elephant in Thailand?"

"Then you've flown tens of thousands of kilometers just to mess with me?"

"No, no, I'm just telling you that my brother is a psychopath, you don't want to be like him. I know you're unhappy that you had a little conflict with him, and I know that he impeached you on the school board...... Alas! Brother, you know that I personally trust you very much, your ability is top-notch, and no one can manage this academy well except you. ”

Pompey's face was full of sincerity, "But you also know that I am just a nominal head of the family, and it is my job to reproduce, in fact, Caesar is right, I am a stallion, and the power is in the hands of that Frost guy, so it's not that I don't support you, but I really have more than enough power......"

Ange silently raised the ashtray, "I'm going to be manic if you say that, do you want to try?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, what's not to talk about between brothers?" Pompey hurriedly reached out and put the ashtray down, "I'm here mainly to tell you what kind of tricks those Japanese old men are playing!" ”

"I can roughly know something." "Throughout the twentieth century, we have been fighting openly and secretly with the European hybrids led by Henkel, but the Japanese hybrids have never participated, and they seem to have carved out a piece of their own territory in the world of hybrids and are self-sufficient. ”

"There are huge cultural differences, and neither side really trusts the other. The Eight Clans regarded the Secret Party as careerists, and secretly called Lord Mayek a colonist. They are the giants of the underworld, who control the dark side of Japan, do not want us to meddle in Japan's affairs, and even want to expand their sphere of influence to Europe. ”

So in World War II, the Snake Eight families were the resolute main fighters, and they sent their outstanding descendants to the Asian and Pacific theaters. We realized that the Snake Eight Clan's entry into the war was directed against us, so we stood behind the scenes of the U.S. government. The two sides spared no effort in the Pacific theater, and you should know something about this. ”

"But they were never settlers, and after World War II, I went to Tokyo to fight the Snake Eight and forced them to sign an education agreement on the basis of the Covenant...... It is called an education agreement, but it is actually a formal agreement for cooperation. ”

"They will send outstanding descendants to the United States for further study, and these Japanese students will return to China to form the Japanese branch of the Kassel Academy, which is the origin of the Japanese branch."

"I have to mention that although the Eight Snake Families are subordinate to the Secret Party, they have a lot of autonomy."

"That's all good thing, but why didn't you release these documents to the school board? No one else knew that Japan was an autonomous region on the map of the academy. ”

"With the domineering of the Gattuso family, if Frost knew that the Japanese branch enjoyed autonomy, he would ask me to completely suppress the Snake Eight family, right? But I don't want to go to war with the Snake Eight Family. ”

"It doesn't matter if nothing happens, but now that something happens, the school directors can fire you for 'concealing major matters', even if that chick from the Laurent family ...... It seems to be called Yin Lizabeth? Anyway, even she can't keep you, although the little girl has a crush on you so much. As a brother, I'm worried about you. Pompeii's expression was sincere and solemn.

"Stallion, your lower body is overheating again and you're starting to babble." Ange frowned.

"You have to trust my brother and my experience, women, especially small women, they always submit to older attractive men!" Pompey smiled sheepishly, "Isn't it a pleasure to conquer a powerful young girl from the heart, of course, from the physical point of view, it is even more ......"

Ange silently raised his teacup.

"Okay, don't talk about it, old friend, in fact, I mean, your understanding of the Eight Snake Families has nothing to do with what I'm trying to express!" Pompey shook his head, "Do you really know anything about the situation in Japan?" I mean the whole of Japan. ”

"What do you mean?" Ange frowned.

"You think I'm going to talk about the Eight Snake Families, you must know more about them than I do, I mean this mission, the ancient underwater city they blew up, the corpses, and the embryo." Pompeii said quietly, "And there are secrets that are hidden throughout Japan." ”

"I'm sure you've seen the state of the Lenin at the time, so let's imagine what needs an embryo of an ancient dragon to awaken? A city? Or a bunch of corpses? They are far less valuable than the embryos themselves, and the person behind them is obviously not a fool who trades a large piece of gold for a pile of scrap copper and iron. ”

"Do you know how Takamagahara, who sank to the bottom of the sea? Think about the past few major accidents in history, the mystery of the disappearance of Mayan culture, the Tunguska explosion, the explosion of Wang Gongchang, and the pain of your life, the ...... of summer"

"If you dare to say that name, I'll throw you out of the office." Ange was expressionless.

"I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, it's my mouth that is cheap, I can't control my mouth, all in all, behind every big event, we can see the shadow of the dragon king."

"What do you mean, Gao Tianyuan was a dragon king who used a world-destroying spirit to sink to the bottom of the sea?"

"Dragon King?" Pompeii shook his head slightly, "You may not know the scale of that disaster, it was a disaster that could have caused the entire land to sink in Japan, all the volcanoes erupted, the frenzy of the tsunami alone could flood the entire Japanese islands, and the waves that swept through Australia made their coastline suddenly rise by dozens of centimeters." ”

"That force was enough to threaten the whole world, but for some reason, only a part of Japan mainland was stripped away, and that land sank quickly with the wild current into the inaccessible sea, which is what we see now as Takamagahara."

"Dragon-king-level power can easily destroy a city and a city full of people, but it is still reluctant to destroy a country...... That's the power of God. ”

"God?" Ange pondered the word.

"Okay, let's not mention what it is, let's take a look at an episode." Pompeii pulled out a chip box from his crotch and slid it along the table to Anges, "The contents are too professional for you to understand, so let Dr. Pompeii Gattuso, the first geophysics major at ETH Zurich, explain it to you!" ”

Ange took out the chip and plugged it into the computer.

"This is the terrain of the four islands of Japan 500,000 years ago, and it looks very different from today's map of Japan, right?" Pompeii opens a top view. The blue is the sea, and the four islands of Japan are surrounded by seawater, from the coast of China in the west to the "Emperor Seamount" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the undulations of the seabed are also drawn.

Ange nodded, "The coastline is very different, and the area of Kyushu and Shikoku is much larger than it is today. ”

"Have you ever heard of the theory of plate drift?"

"Know a little."

"Japan is located between the Eurasian and Pacific tectonic plates, which are among the six major plates. The crust is generally stable within the six major plates, but the fractures in the plates are often filled with earthquake-prone and volcanic belts. ”

"The river of magma that the Dirieste saw on the ocean floor was a plate fissure, a river that was bottomless, and below it was a mantle layer thousands of kilometers thick, containing hundreds of billions of tons of magma...... In this particular geographical location, Japan's foundation is very unstable. ”

"It's a dynamic map where you can see how Japan's topography has changed from 500,000 years ago to the present." Pompeii clicked play, and the shape of the land began to change, sometimes the foundation collapsed and the sea poured inland, sometimes the volcano erupted magma, the magma solidified, and the hard black mountain weight protruded from the sea to form islands.

"Doesn't this have anything to do with the sinking of Takamagahara?"

"It doesn't matter much......"

"It doesn't matter that you're wasting so much of my time?" Ange was dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be related in a while, do a good job of laying the groundwork first, so that you don't have to ask questions when you get it." "Geophysically speaking, Japan's unstable territory is doomed to sink, but it's a very slow process, theoretically millions of years...... Therefore, the changes in the earth's crust cannot explain the sinking of Takamagahara. ”

"When I learned that you found Takamagahara in the trench, you immediately went to the library and checked all the earthquake data in Japan. One particularly interesting article says that geological evidence can be found that about 10,000 years ago, there was a crisis that almost instantly destroyed Japan: a super earthquake with a magnitude of nearly 10 that nearly collapsed all four of Japan's islands. ”

Ange's brow furrowed, just imagining the apocalyptic scene would be terrifying, and only Pompeii's two hundred and five would depict it with such relish.

"Is there really a magnitude 10 earthquake in the world?"

"Usually not, the highest magnitude earthquake observed by humans so far is the Chilean earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.5, and a magnitude 10 earthquake only theoretically exists." Pompey looked into Ange's eyes, "But it's not just crustal stresses that cause earthquakes, you and I should understand that. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Laiyin, Shiva dance, candle dragon...... I don't need to say more, right? Words and spirits can completely distort the laws of nature to some extent. ”

"That magnitude 10 earthquake was...... Words and spirits explode! Ange shuddered slightly.

Pompey nodded, "Yes, the High Heaven Plain is where its bones are buried. But only to that extent...... The great god does not really die, it just goes into a deep sleep until 10,000 years later, when the icebreaker falls from the sky, the cabin is full of fresh fetal blood, and God sucks the fetal blood and resurrects it. ”

"So brother, you have to hurry! Otherwise, we will have to live forever with cherry blossoms, sake, wagyu beef, and sashimi...... There is also a hundred obedient Yamato Nadeshiko who said that Sayo Nala, because there may be no Japan in this world from now on! ”

"Why are you telling me? You should go and talk to Frost. Ange stared into Pompeii's eyes.

"Can I trust that psychotic brother in such a big matter? I'd rather trust professionals, when it comes to dragon slaying you're a professional. It doesn't matter if Japan sinks, my precious son is still in Japan. ”

"Also, I've always had great doubts about Japanese mythology, because I think I'm probably the most promiscuous person in the human race, but their ancestors are even more promiscuous than me, no, there can be no such person in this world, and there is only one ...... that can surpass my species in this respect," Pompey paused.

"Dragons." Ange took up in a deep voice.

"It's good that you have the bottom in your heart." Pompeii crossed the tea table and patted Ange on the shoulder.

"I know that you have faced the dragon king once, and you have a hatred for that creature from the bottom of your bones, and this hatred makes you fearless, even if you stand in front of a dragon king, you dare to swing a sword, but this time the enemy is obviously different." Pompey said, "Someone is secretly manipulating all this behind his back, he covets a higher level of power than the dragon king, and he has the idea of 'god', you can't use the common sense of the past to think about the enemy this time, when the cunning of humans and the power of the dragon come together, that is the most terrible!" ”

"Oh, yes, it's time, I also asked Lucia, the design director of Bulgari, for afternoon tea......" Pompeii looked at his watch, "By the way, my friend, one last piece of advice for you, sixty years have passed since you were young, maybe your strength has not decreased, but the world has changed a lot, don't look at today's snake eight families with the eyes of sixty years ago, otherwise you may fall into trouble." ”

"No need to send it." Pompeii turned his back and waved, and went down the stairs briskly, like a lively little stallion...... After a few steps, he remembered that he was still dragging his skirt-like parachute, but it was too late, he tripped on the parachute line and rolled downstairs with a grunt......

Ange's evaluation of him had just risen, and he was brutally suppressed at the moment.

Pompeii is this kind of person, and he has never been able to stand up for ten minutes.

Ange sat under the skylight again, and the last cup of black tea that Pompeii had poured for him before leaving went from steaming hot to cold.

The sun had just set, the patio was full of dappled shadows, Ange's face was intertwined, and the squirrels were lying on the bookshelves looking at him in twos and threes, not daring to approach.

Until finally, the sun has lost its last rays, and the twilight is like a tide that completely submerges the old man.

Ange poured out his cold tea and was about to leave the office when lazy footsteps came from the stairs.

"This slut is also on the scene, and it looks like he's in big trouble." The vice-principal walked upstairs slowly, carrying half a bottle of brandy and a denim shirt with his arms open.

"Why don't you say hi to him?" Ange said, "I don't believe Pompeii didn't notice you coming. ”

"The Chinese say that there is no room for two stallions in a stable, and I don't like him."

"The Chinese say that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers," Ange said, "and I must go to Japan, perhaps by the way, to kill one or two dragon kings and half-bloods that do not have long eyes." ”

"I'll go too." The night watchman held up the bottle, "Old bones are the activity, otherwise I would have been in Kassel for most of my life, and the old stuff outside would even think I'm dead." ”

"No, who will care if you leave Kassel?" Ange was categorical.

"There's Master Watt!"
