Chapter Forty-Eight: Afternoon Tea
The afternoon tea invitation of the Rector of Angers was an even more eye-catching honor than the highest scholarship in the eyes of the students of the Kassel Academy.
The Headmaster's office was not far from Valhalla, and from the outside it looked like a rudimentary two-story building surrounded by trees.
But inside it was a different feeling entirely.
The first and second floors of the building were opened, and the quaint bookshelves that formed the walls that stretched to the dome were filled with a dazzling array of hardcover books, and several empty slots hung several oil paintings by famous artists.
In the middle of the dome is a huge skylight, in the delicate white bone china cup on the table in front of Lu Mingfei, the steaming black tea reflects the warm afternoon sun, and there are a few baklava on the side of the small plate, a layer of sunshine gold veil makes them look quite sweet and delicious.
"Turkish Black Sea Rize Black Tea, the tea aroma is quite good."
Ange sat opposite Lu Mingfei and elegantly sipped the black tea in his cup:
"I heard that the equipment department has given you a lot of support."
"Just take what you need."
Lu Mingfei said.
"It's quite an achievement for a student to be able to take what they need."
"No one but me and the school board can command these neurotics who think art is an explosion."
Ange put down the bone china cup with a faint smile, and his gentle gaze moved to Lu Mingfei:
"Let's get straight to the point."
"I know what you're trying to ask."
Lu Mingfei nodded:
"Hmm. The evil heresy who called himself 'Emperor'. ”
"You seem to have a grudge against him, but you can't find him."
"Is it a sin heresy? I like that title. ”
The smile on Ange's face disappeared, and he whispered:
"Yes, we do have a grudge against him."
"In November 2002, most of the Academy's elite in the Executive Department were swallowed up by that sea of death ice."
"You were ambushed by them?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"It's not so much an ambush...... It's better to borrow a knife to kill people. ”
"And then it is good for them that either side is killed."
Ange gently rubbed the bottom of the bone china cup.
"You'd better be straight, Headmaster Ange," Lu Mingfei sighed softly, "I don't want to guess the riddle unless it's about their location." ”
"Yes."
"In August 2002, a trade request was posted on the Hunter's website by an ID named 'Prince' - a place where half-bloods freely exchange and post quests, and the academy sometimes finds information about dragons and related alchemical items from it."
"The 'Prince' said that there was a metal artifact of unknown origin that he wanted to sell for money, and the academy recognized that the metal artifact in his hand was actually the remains of a copper watch."
"You should have learned about the origin and knowledge of the 'Bronze Table' in the course of "The Origin of Dragon Civilization", so I won't give you a review of this homework."
Lu Mingfei nodded slightly.
"Bronze Watch" refers to the history of the dragon clan written by the Black King Nidhogg on a towering bronze pillar, called the Ice Sea Bronze Pillar Table.
"The academy bought it for ten million dollars at the time, and immediately began to decipher the dragon script recorded on it."
"A month later, the Academy learned from the wreckage of the bronze watch that there were remnants of a dragon civilization somewhere in the Greenland Seas, and that there was probably still dragon activity."
"Then you rushed over and met a powerful alien at the level of the Dragon King."
Speaking of which, Lu Mingfei could probably guess what was going on.
"That's right...... Even if it's not a dragon king, it's a powerful sub-species. ”
"It transformed Schneider from a mild-mannered and handsome professor of dragon family genealogy into a cold-blooded vengeful demon who trained his students to become warriors and then sent to battle."
Ange whispered.
"Then I don't think he's trained very well."
Lu Mingfei has only one comment on this.
"It's really not perfect compared to what you did last night."
"Watt Alheim is proud to have applied to me for a research grant using your first-person killing."
Ange did not hide the admiration in his tone.
Lu Ming did not deny it.
"It turned out later that the information on the remains of the bronze watch was fake. We have reason to suspect that this is a conspiracy orchestrated by the 'Prince', so we have been searching for news about him for years. ”
"In the end, it was through my old friend that I learned about the 'emperor' in private...... Or the existence of this organization. ”
"But I didn't expect that this time I could pull out a little trace of the 'emperor' in the Sacred Heart Maria Hospital."
Ange said.
"It doesn't matter if it's a person or an organization, their blasphemous acts against humanity are enough to be called heretical."
"They will be purified."
Lu Mingfei said coldly.
"You're right, the black alchemy technology that transformed humans into Deadpool, and the ...... that have been massively transformed into Deadpool's weapons It's far beyond the bottom line of the half-breeds. ”
Ange picked up the bone china cup again and drank the warm black tea in the cup, "Their filthy souls really deserve to be purified. ”
"The academy is already doing its best to track down the whereabouts of the 'Emperor', and will notify you as soon as there is news."
"Okay."
Lu Mingfei nodded.
"But...... Don't you feel like you're being used as a gunman? ”
Ange lifted the bone china teapot, and the crimson tea poured out, filling the porcelain cup again with a dense white steam.
The smile on his face became meaningful.
"I'm just doing my job."
"You are responsible for reporting on the aliens and heretics that are mutilating humanity, and I am responsible for purifying and eradicating them."
Lu Mingfei said calmly.
"Sounds like a superhero who protects the planet."
Ange smiled.
"What about you?"
"I'm curious that when Manstein questioned my change over the months, you immediately acknowledged my faith and change."
"This should not be the behavior of a cautious vengeance warrior."
Lu Mingfei's eyes were fixed on Principal Ange, the hater who had lived for more than a hundred and twenty years.
"You hate dragons, that's enough."
"I'm a vengeful demon like Schneider."
"It doesn't matter what kind of warrior you use in any way, I'm going to tie all the resuscitated dragons to the gallows, fill their coffins with mercury, and finally light a cigar and sink them into the trench at sunset."
Ange said calmly.
"It seems that we have a common language when it comes to eliminating aliens."
Lu Mingfei said.
"Also, about the 'Emperor', I think Fingal should be of interest to him as well."
"Fingal?"
Lu Mingfei remembered the stout German man.
When they first met, he also wanted to develop the other party into a preacher of the emperor's glory because of the other party's eloquence, and then persuaded him to quit because of the other party's somewhat sloppy life style.
I heard Chu Zihang say that guy is still the minister of the Ministry of Information, and he even created a "scandal" between the two of them some time ago.
"Yes, he is also one of the survivors of Greenland's shadows."
"He didn't look scarred...... Then he's a 'one' in a half, right? ”
"No, he, like Schneider, only survived 'half.'"
Ange shook his head.
