Chapter Eighty-Three: Don't Be Prepared for Danger in Peace
The old man with two white roses on his chest came to the familiar heavy wooden door again, and looked at the door that was so well maintained but still gray.
It had been built of white pine, and Ange still remembered it, for he had been there when the gate had just been opened in this place, and he was a teenager at the time, and he watched curiously and adoringly as the man walked in with great spirits, sandwiched between the big pecs of his two companions, and then came out with a smile on his face.
At the beginning, when he breathed lightly beside Bai Song, he could feel that the trees carried the vitality of nature, the vitality of life, and it was actually alive in itself.
Every time the leaders of the secret party come out of this, they will use this as a benchmark, the trees will be so eager for life, and the half-breeds who bear the fate of the world will have to carry the burden forward, cutting off the painful memory of humanity being ruled by dragons.
But everything changed later, maybe because of the First World War, or maybe because of the inferiority of people.
Perhaps because on June 28, 1914 (Serbian National Day), the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were shot dead by the Serbian youth Gavrijo Princip while inspecting Sarajevo, opening the first full-scale war between the half-breeds simply for the sake of fighting for the world.
It's ridiculous, obviously the dragon clan is still sleeping, obviously the real master of this world has just entered a long sleep, but some people are still impatient to jump out and carve up the world, Ange will often wonder, if that man survives, will everything change qualitatively? He will definitely be able to lead the secret party through the first and second world wars, and with him, the purity of the secret party hardly needs to be questioned.
But unfortunately he died, and the original Lionheart president, Meneke Cassel, died.
After his death, the secret party changed, and it was originally just an ordinary manor built on the top of a hill to make wine, and the emergency meetings of the half-breeds were usually only held in the cellar, in the midst of the rich aroma of wine.
Now, the entire estate has been converted into a military fortress made of alloy, not even a moth can fly in, only the conference center has been preserved, but the poplar tree that served as the door has died due to lack of sunlight.
In fact, he had already proposed to the school board to change the door, such a side of the white pine door has now become a little gray due to improper maintenance, but the school board has always been stubborn and stubborn, they can benefit in science and technology, financial innovation, but for the secret party of some of the old bad habits are still extremely important, the good name, this is for the ancient majesty of the secret party.
But is the majesty earned by not changing the door? Ange shook his head, it didn't matter if he changed the door or not.
He pushed open the door to the room, which was dark enough to be illuminated by an ancient oil lamp, and the smell of gunpowder from the meeting could be felt almost from standing in the doorway, and Ange could feel that everyone was looking at him, and the gaze hidden under the light now took on an indescribable indifference in the original scrutiny.
In addition to the one trustee who was permanently absent, this time the Laurent family was also absent for the first time in a hundred years, and the remaining five trustees in the room had already arrived, and at this time they were sitting quietly at the table, with a small brass bell flat in front of them, originally such a meeting was to discuss major events in the world, but at the moment they had only one purpose.
That is the impeachment of Angers.
"Ange, you weren't invited to this meeting."
The words were stiff, and the meaning was obvious, no one rattled the bell, but the meaning of the words was already obvious, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on a familiar man, it was Frost of the Gattuso family, and it was he who brought a message that made the entire school board hostile to Angers.
- Ange opened the Nibelungen and released the target from the blockade, both Norton, the dragon king of bronze and fire, and the man had already broken away from the Nibelungen.
This is a very obvious "betrayal", the last meeting of the secret party has clearly determined the identity of the enemy of Su'an, and formulated a perfect plan, but unfortunately I didn't expect this plan to be destroyed by Ange.
The two targets, a dragon king and a Su An, have lost contact with the secret party at this moment, this level of backstabbing is already a naked betrayal, and now Ange can still enter this fortress calmly, just because he is the oldest existence of the secret party.
The school board had connived at Ange because they couldn't find a replacement for him, and he also needed the support of the school board because he knew that he couldn't do the great cause of slaying dragons alone.
So in the past, Angers and the school board maintained a balance, but this has a premise, Angers is on their side, or in front of their interests.
Now the balance had collapsed, but Ange didn't seem to care, and Ange just walked calmly past the long table.
All the eyes of the school manager were fixed on him, waiting for his response, but it was not until he sat down, took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it again, and then stretched out his hand and put his expensive handmade leather shoes directly on the table, without the appearance of a bullshit English gentleman.
"Angers! ...... is not welcome in this place"
"Shut up! Frost! ”
Ange's voice was very loud at this moment, like a lion's roar, which echoed throughout the room for a moment, Frost's face froze, and everyone in the school board fell into silence at this moment, and at this moment, he just looked at Frost in front of him, and then calmly went back.
"I'm not here to talk to you about anything, I have only one purpose, and that is that I have brought something that you can understand as ...... Trojan stuff. ”
Ange said, taking out the container in his pocket, a bottle of liquid like red wine swaying in a glass, shimmering seductively in the dim light......
For a moment, Frost looked at Ange with a look of incredulity, and the other secret parties also fell into a dead silence at this moment, and after placing this thing on the wooden table, Ange put down the leg resting on the table.
After chuckling again, Ange got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Ange, you can't go!"
