402 Is it possible that Uesugi is the Dragon King?
The next day, the Board of Trustees of Kassel Academy, in the conference hall deep in Valhalla, gathered.
They are the patrons behind the Kassel Academy, and the Supreme Leaders of the Secret Party, as they were previously called, they should be called the Supreme Elders, and the meetings they participate in are the Supreme Council of Elders who can guide the direction of the Secret Party's actions.
The school board members did not attend, but those who did not attend participated in the meeting in their own way, and they must exercise their right to vote in the important resolutions that are about to begin, which is not only a right, but also an obligation.
At the end of the long table sat the headmaster of the Kassel Academy, the legendary dragon slayer Anges.
As the headmaster and irreplaceable executive leader of the Secret Party, he won a seat in the Council of Elders without the backing of his family, relying on his own achievements and the support of the heads of departments.
"Frost, my old friend, I didn't expect you to come to the meeting, you seem to be a lot older, are you okay?"
In a quiet atmosphere, Ange was the first to greet his "old friend", and his expression was flying and there was not much worry.
Hearing Ange's words, the school directors couldn't help but glance at the two of them strangely.
The conflict between Angers and Frost was not a matter of a day or two, it was a conflict that lasted for decades.
But no one expected that this kind of contradiction would one day break out like this, whether it was Frost's attempt to put Ange under house arrest, or Ange's counterattack now, it undoubtedly increased the intensity of the battle a hundred times, and also led the situation to today's situation.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Frost gave Ange a cold look, his tone stiff.
"That's a pity......"
Ange shrugged, a look of disappointment.
ββ¦β¦β
Frost's eyes were cold.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, everyone values harmony!"
The middle-aged man spoke to stop the conflict between the two.
"We didn't come to school to quarrel over this little thing, did we? Principal Angers, has the "Bronze Report" been sorted out, isn't this what we want to see the results most, let's get down to business first! β
Hearing him say this, the rest of the school directors turned their attention to Ange.
The middle-aged man was right, the reason why they came to the Kassel Academy, although it was true that there were other important events, but the death of the Lord of Bronze and Fire was the most important of them.
Even in the entire history of the Secret Party, and even the entire half-blood, this is an epoch-making event.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ange looked away from Frost's suspicious gaze and looked at all the school directors.
"This is an epoch-making thing, and if you want to fully confirm and completely avoid miscalculation, it will take at least half a year to issue a report, but if it is only a preliminary conclusion, it can be issued now, and it is in front of you."
It may only take a day to kill a dragon king, but it may take a year to prove that a dragon king is a dragon king.
Before this, humans had never really killed the Dragon King, and naturally they didn't know how to judge the authenticity of the Dragon Bone Cross.
Konstantin had been dead for less than a week, and in such a short period of time, only a rudimentary report could be obtained.
Hearing Ange's words, the school trustees couldn't wait to turn the report in front of them, skip the cumbersome proofs, and enter the conclusion on the last page.
"Lord of Bronze and Fire, killed."
Seeing this text with their own eyes, everyone fell silent.
Even though I had already received the report, I was shocked when I confirmed it myself.
"No dragon king has ever been confirmed dead in history, can you come up with tangible evidence from Ange?"
After a moment, Frost asked.
Written proof means nothing, and in order to convince them, it must be actually proven.
"The newly made Philosopher's Stone should be enough, right?"
A rough polished crystal was handed out, and the school directors circulated it in turn.
"Although the weight is a little less than expected, there is no doubt that it is a philosopher's stone."
After a closer look, the school directors nodded their heads and confirmed the texture of the crystal.
Since the death of Nicol Lemay, the last master alchemist who could craft the Philosopher's Stone, six hundred years ago, no one among the human alchemists has been able to forge a new Philosopher's Stone, and the known Philosopher's Stone has been excavated from ancient tombs.
Now a new Philosopher's Stone has been born, either an alchemy master has been born among the human beings who is strong enough to refine the Philosopher's Stone, or the human race has obtained a new material that has never been seen before.
"My name is Konstantin, and I have gone to the top of the mountain of flames, and there have melted the seas of bronze, and cast the name of the gods."
The Lady of Laurent recited the ancient scripture softly.
"Now he's dead, along with his brother."
Ange's voice was grim.
"A dead god is just a pile of dry bones."
After a long silence, Elisabeth Laurent stood up and applauded, as did all the school trustees, including Frost, as a sign of respect for Angers, who did not really make a move, but as a principal and leader, the honor of the students was also his honor.
After the applause ended, the middle-aged man spoke.
"Dragon King Norton has also been killed? Have you found his bones? β
"Not yet."
Ange shook his head.
"But the scene of Norton's beheading was also recorded by Norma, and you should have seen it. Defenseless, he was directly split in half by the alchemy sword, and I don't think he still has a chance of surviving. β
Hearing him say this, the school trustees looked at each other and nodded.
Whether it was the death of the dragon king Constantine or the death of the dragon king Norton, they were very lucky to be recorded by Norma, and any suspicions would be caught, but they had repeatedly confirmed each other, and there was no problem.
It is precisely because it is well documented that they will come to the meeting without fully confirming the identity of the dragon king.
"The twins of the fire line among the four monarchs have all been killed."
The old man with the Buddha beads groaned slightly.
"The four monarchs are all twins?"
It was only now that the Secret Party finally learned of this information.
"It's very likely, but we don't know yet what special significance the twins have for the dragons, maybe genetically, maybe occult."
Ange shook his head and said his speculation.
Elisabeth Laurent also looked at Angers and asked her own questions.
"According to the video recording, both the dragon king Konstantin and the dragon king Norton are wearing bronze masks, do these faces have any special significance?"
Hearing this, all the school directors looked at it with great concern.
They also perceive a commonality between Constantine and Norton, who did not carry a mask when he first met with Vidal, but who wore a bronze mask similar to Constantine's when he combined with the Dragon's Blood subspecies.
This is something that has not been mentioned in previous historical sources.
"I don't know."
Hearing this, Ange shook his head.
"Both masks were destroyed in the battle, and now only fragments remain, according to the identification of the Night's Watch, this should be some kind of ancient alchemical artifact, but the exact time of forging is unknown, and the specific purpose is unknown, and there is no result."
"Alchemical Products ......"
The Lady Laurent cast her gaze to the girl sitting across from her.
"The Goettingen family is also an alchemy family, Charlotte, do you have any clue?"
Charlotte Goettingen, the youngest of the school board present, was even underage, she looked only about sixteen years old, with a little baby fat face with a serious expression, like a delicate doll.
Because she was too young to fulfill her responsibilities as the head of the house, she was followed by an old butler with white gloves, who would first seek advice on important matters.
But at this moment, in the face of Elisabeth Laurent's inquiry, Charlotte was only a little nervous for a moment, and immediately shook her head, like a student whose name was called by the teacher during class.
"No, there is no mention of anything related to the mask in the family information, and it is impossible to confirm that it has anything to do with the Dragon King, maybe it is just an iron mask that proves the identity of the king."
The girl made her guess, and then looked at the head of the Laurent family with concern, afraid that she would not answer well.
The GΓΆttingen family was not close to other families as an alchemist family, with the exception of the Madame Laurent, who had taken care of her in her childhood, and was a man between her sister and her mother.
"A mask to prove the identity of the king...... If the follow-up Dragon King also has a mask, this can be verified. β
The Laurent nodded, neither praising nor disagreeing with the conjecture.
She is a serious character, so naturally she will not show too much intimacy in serious situations, which is not good for Charlotte.
Seeing her expression, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and then felt a little lost, and it wasn't until the butler coughed slightly that she re-tensed her little face and pretended to be serious.
The other school directors didn't care about this little action, although the bronze mask was a mystery, but there were too many mysteries on the dragon king, and it was not bad for this one.
"Konstantin's bones are still being studied, and the issue of the Lord of Bronze and Fire should be over for now."
Ange concluded and closed the topic at hand.
"According to the agenda of the meeting, the next step, if I remember correctly, should be about the new school board members, right?"
Hearing this, the atmosphere within the school board changed abruptly.
If they were still feeling the shock of the times by the death of the Dragon King, then this issue pulled them back from their grand mission.
The school directors looked at Ange and Frost, and they all knew that the Eight Snake Families were just pawns of Ange to attack the Gattuso family.
This is a struggle for power, and it is also a confrontation between the two forces, and no matter how grand the mission is, it cannot avoid the collision of power.
"Regarding the proposal for the eight families of Snake to join the school board, the first initiator is the Gattuso family."
The Lady of Laurent, as a supporter of Angers, was the first to speak.
"As is customary, the school board can admit new members, but the new members must contribute sufficiently. All of you here are either families that have supported the Secret Party for thousands of years, or families that have made outstanding contributions in times of crisis. β
"Although the Eight Snake Qi Families are ancient half-blood families, they are located in the Far East and isolated from the rest of the world, what qualifications do they have to be in the same ranks as everyone here?"
Lady Laurent's words seemed to be questioning, but in fact they gave Angers an opportunity to explain their reasoning, emphasizing in passing that there was a precedent for the reinforcements of the school board.
In fact, half of the members of the school board members present were not from the original ancient family.
In this new era, money is often more valuable than personal bravery, and the ancient dragon-blood families are somewhat outdated in the new era, and there are only a few people like the Laurent family and the Charlotte family who can continue to hold power.
Since the secret party can accept the joining of the Gattuso family, it should be able to accept the participation of other families, as long as the price given by the other party is sufficient.
Hearing Laurent's words, Ange smiled.
"The action report of the Japan Action should have been submitted to the school board, and you should know why I asked the Japan branch to join...... Okay, I'm not going to sell Guanzi either-the White King Bloodline, are these four words enough? β
Hearing the words that came out of Ange's mouth, the school board was once again in shock.
It was as shocking as hearing that the Lord of Bronze and Fire had been killed.
The White King, the only dragon in legend to rival the Black King, is far above the Four Great Monarchs!
If the four monarchs are the first generation, then the white king is the zero generation, which is the closest to the black king and the closest to the gods!
"Can you confirm this information, Ange?"
The old man no longer turned the beads, and stared at Ange with goshawk-like eyes.
"Actually, the evidence has been there for a long time, but I was not convinced at first."
Ange removed the Bronze Project paperwork, revealing the second report below.
"You have relevant information in front of you, the school has been studying the genes of the Japanese half-breed for many years, and it is completely possible to confirm that this is a bloodline independent of the four monarchs."
A bloodline independent of the four monarchs, apart from the White King bloodline, what else is possible?
The school trustees immediately flipped through the report in front of them, and many of them had PhDs in biology, so it was not difficult to understand these professional terms.
After a while, the school directors put down their reports, looked at each other and nodded.
"If the content of the report is true, then it is indeed very likely that they are of White King blood, but this name alone is not enough, we need something more practical."
A school manager spoke.
If the secret party is a big cake, then they are the ones who share the cake, and if they have no actual interests just by virtue of the name of a white king's bloodline, they are not willing to have one more such colleague.
"Something more practical, don't you see? In the midst of the crusade against Konstantin. β
Hearing the other party's words, Ange spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, the school directors were shocked and thought of something.
Ange added slowly.
"Being able to kill the Dragon King-level Destruction Level Spirit head-on, even an old guy like me is far inferior, isn't this level of force enough to impress everyone here?"
The school directors fell silent.
They all recalled the terrifying power displayed by the girl named Eri Uesugi in the Battle of Constantine.
The aftermath of the words and spirits that seemed to be like a change in heaven and earth, as well as the terrifying words and spirits of the Black Sun level that positively suppressed the release of Constantine, brought them a deep impression.
The shock that Eri brought to them even surpassed that of Konstantin as the dragon king.
Even those hybrids of dangerous bloodlines have almost no existence that can match Eri in terms of momentum.
In their impressions, the only half-breed who is qualified to fight against Erika's judgment is the only one left with the self-destructive spirit - Rhine, in addition to the four ultimate spirit spirits.
"The power of Eri-san's words is even close to that of the Dragon King, and it can match my best friend Menek, but it does not have the flaw of having to die together, and it can be used repeatedly."
"As a dragon-slaying blade, her sharpness is even far above mine, for example, she is the dragon-slaying sword of Destiny, in the face of this kind of artifact, don't you want to recruit her into the team?"
Ange asked rhetorically.
The gold content of Eri Yi was vividly displayed in the battle of Konstantin.
Other data, words and speculations, compared to its most intuitive display, compared to the actual record of Eri, are too pale.
Anyone who has seen the scene of Eri defeating Konstantin will never be able to deny the power of Eri.
"Uesugi's power is indeed very powerful, but aren't you worried about seeing this power?"
The middle-aged man spoke cautiously.
"Worried about what?"
Ange asked with a smile.
"Worried about her identity...... Is it possible that she is actually the Dragon King? β
The middle-aged man scratched his head and said.
"I definitely didn't mean to target her, I was just a little shocked, after all, this classmate's strength is indeed inexplicably strong, even our S-level is inferior in terms of the power of words and spirits, is this kind of bloodline really normal?"
