"My name is Konstantin, and I have gone to the top of the mountain of flames, and there have melted seas of bronze, and cast the name of God." The night watchman lowered his head and recited the words engraved on the bronze pillar of the Ice Sea word for word.

"My name is Norton, and I fell into the purgatory of bronze, where I wielded the power of the flame and erased the king's enemies." Ange found a place to sit down, read out the following couplet, and smiled: "The two of us are the same as the patients with secondary two diseases, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you can still remember this sentence." ”

"I personally led the excavation of the Ice Sea Bronze Pillar Table back then, and I also completed the decipherment of the text by myself." Flamel's face was gloomy: "But I have only managed to translate the superficial meaning, and so far we have not understood why the oldest emperor had the two Bronze and Fire Kings carved their oaths on its battle chronicles." ”

According to legend, tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon clan set off a rebellion, and the black king Nidhogg was betrayed by the white king he created, who united one-third of the dragon clan and humans to kill the black king.

It's a pity that the gap between the imitation and the real thing is still too large, the white king was killed by the black king, and the bones were annihilated, and the latter ordered the rebellion to be engraved on the copper pillar after quelling the rebellion, and then dispersed and sunk to the sea around the North Pole, leaving future generations to warn.

Over the years, many of these bronze pillars have been recovered, but few people are aware of the secrets they hide, and simply treat them as cultural relics.

And those words that are not understood are only considered to be the niche characters of some extinct tribe.

In this way, the Ice Sea Bronze Pillar circulated as a 'cultural relic' in the market for a long time, until the first night watchman of the academy accidentally saw it at auction and took it down, and then discovered its secret.

But unfortunately, the salvaged copper pillar is only a small part, and it can't piece together any useful information, but this makes the secret party recognize the copper pillar for the first time, and classify it as an 'A+' level dragon relic.

At the beginning of the 21st century, in an operation, the academy exchanged the lives of six outstanding students for a large number of bronze pillars of the ice sea. Flamel was involved as the chief expert in deciphering it.

However, the only thing that can put together a complete message is these two sentences.

"Can you be sure that this address is the foundry of the Lord of Bronze and Fire?" Ange didn't answer and asked, "It's just a rough composition, maybe it's just a boiler room." ”

"I'm not 100% sure, but it's undoubtedly the legacy of the Lord of Bronze and Fire. Your composition is entirely based on the bronze matrix in the middle, thus building the whole building, and you can do it with metal, which no one else should be able to do except the king who is in charge of bronze and fire. The vice-principal looked quite serious when talking about this topic: "Wait, where did you get this thing?" You can't dive in and draw the composition yourself, right? No, your handwriting isn't that pretty. But I think it's a little familiar......"

"I'm going to keep it a secret, after all, it's my deal with him." Ange snatched back the kraft paper, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "But I'm relieved to hear you say that, there must be some good things in the Bronze and Fire King's foundry." ”

"Hey, hey, we've been friends for so many years, tell me who the guy who went in is, and I want to talk to him." Seeing this, the night watchman came over and hooked up with Ange: "I must know this guy, I have an impression of this note, but I can't remember it." ”

"Guess what?" Ange pushed away the drunken vice-principal.

"The monsters of the Beowulf family?"

"You know, they've always looked down on me, they think I'm a dictator under the guise of a pseudo-educator, and it's harder to get them to trade with me than to slaughter the dragon king." Ange shrugged his shoulders.

"That little girl in the school board who has always admired you?"

"You mean my lovely daughter Laurent, no, no, no, she would never let me do such a dangerous thing, all she cares about every day is how much high cholesterol food I eat."

"Then ......" The vice-principal was silent for a long time, and looked at Ange with a strange look: "Are you supposed to ...... Pompeii?"

"Stop, I know your guess is wrong when I mention that." Ange hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not him." ”

"Who's that? Lily? Salsa? Or Winno? Hey, who are they, I have an impression but I forgot what they looked like. ”

"Those are the prettiest girls you've ever caught up with when you were a western cowboy." Ange had a black line on his face: "This topic ends here, you can't guess whose it is." By the way, even if you guessed it, I would deny it. ”

"In that case, forget it, anyway, I'm just curious about what it's like inside, you've come to the door, so it means that the plan has been set, just take a few more photos for me." The Night's Watch looked indifferent.

"No, I don't have any plans, so I'd like to ask my old friend for your opinion." Ange shrugged: "After all, I don't know anything about this kind of place, and I can't send someone to die." ”

"It's not like your style of doing things." The night watchman frowned at Ange's expression, he knew that the latter was not lying, after knowing him for so many years: "Could it be that there are things that you can't be sure about?" ”

"There are a lot of things I'm not sure about, like the Greenland incident, but I'm willing to bet and Lady Luck often visits me and lets me win the market." Ange sighed rarely: "I'm a little hesitant this time, we don't know what's inside, if there is a dragon king, sending this group of dolls over is to send them to death."

We could not use the detector to determine whether there was any living creature in the foundry from the outside, because the electronic wiring of the ordinary detection equipment was burned out, just like the situation in the Greenland Sea at that time, when we had to send people quickly due to the oppression of the school board, but this time it was different, their opinions were not much of a deterrent to me, and I would like to consider this plan again. ”

"Ange, you're lying to yourself, you know that there can't be a living dragon king in it." When the Night's Watch heard this, he laughed: "The Dragon King will not survive in this kind of existence matrix and patches of mercury anyway, it is just a seal made by the Lord of Bronze and Fire before leaving, even the other Dragon Kings have no choice but to keep imagining what treasures are hidden inside.

I see, you're here just to let me help you make a decision, right? ”

Ange stared at the face with countless wrinkles and oily shine, and after a long time, he laughed out loud and said softly, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." ”

"The awakening of the dragon kings in groups is the penultimate part of the prophecy, what you are afraid of is that once you enter that place, it will cause a series of dragon kings to wake up, right?" The night watchman slowly got up and paced around the room: "I really didn't expect that you, who want to kill the dragon king the most, are hesitating here to wake up all the dragon kings, which is a little funny." ”

"It's a beautiful world, with tall models with legs up to my chest, high-end cigars from Cuba, and of course a few sips of wine on the rocks while racing." Ange leaned back on the couch and looked at the ceiling: "After enjoying it for so long, the thought of what I am about to do could destroy this world will make anyone hesitate." ”

"If you're just hesitant to come to me for comfort, please take my garbage out there." The Night's Watch snorted.

"Do you know that in ancient times, the royal family and nobles in Europe must visit their friends before going to war, and this may be the last time they see it?" Ange smiled: "But it was actually showing off, because at that time, only people from wealthy families could go to war to fight, and they thought that it was an honor to die on the battlefield, and after death, the soul would follow the steps of God and come to this world again." ”

"I won't envy you for being slapped to death by the Dragon King." Nicholas. Flamel also smiled: "But I'm sure you think it would be a relief to die on the battlefield against the Dragon King." ”

"yes." Ange pulled a cigar out of his bag, tucked it between his fingers, and then put it in his mouth and lit it, puffing out the clouds:

"Old friend, how long have we been waiting for this day?"

"I forgot too." The vice-principal put away his usual smile and became serious: "But, Ange, if you do it, you should know what lies after that." ”

"Fighting for power? Then it has nothing to do with me, it's just a game for a group of juniors, and my goal is just dragons. ”

"But what if they become new dragons?"

"Then I'm sorry." The knife in Ange's cuff slipped silently, and in an instant it was nailed to the wall: "I will kill all the dragons before I die." ”

"Then you know, it's not just the dragons who attack us, I thought there would be room for reconciliation between you." The night watchman walked up to Ange and patted him on the shoulder: "But don't worry, old friend, on the day you die, I will buy a bouquet of flowers and bring a bottle of good wine to put on your tombstone." I'll take care of your girls, too. ”

"I'm sure they'll be the ones who die." Ange grinned: "It's not too early, you probably understand my intention to come, then I'll withdraw." ”

"It's good to go, don't send it." The vice principal stuck out his tongue and lay down directly on the sofa with a shake: "Help me bring down the two bags of garbage at the door." ”

Ange picked up the black bag and sniffed it, his brows furrowed: "The contents are rotten." ”

"That's why I asked you to throw them away first, and the rest will last for a few days."

"Don't you need me to find someone to clean up for you?"

"I've got something to do these days, help me hang up the sign when I go out."

Ange hesitated for a moment, then turned back and whispered as he walked out the door:

"Thank you."

"Get out of here, you star." The night watchman waved his hand.

There was a thud and the door was slammed shut by Ange, and there was a sound of rustling, which was supposed to be Ange helping him hang the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door.

"Damn, it's really unlucky today, if you drink a little more wine, you can probably escape this catastrophe."

"Okay, if you can escape the monk, you can't escape the temple, if you want to blame yourself, you have to blame yourself for why you were so stupid back then, you can know this guy, and you still have a heart."

"Ange, you bastard, if you want to start a war with the Dragon King and provoke those guys on the school board, you really wish you would die well, don't pull me up."

The vice principal lay on the leather chair with a red face and scolded for half an hour before giving up.

He sat up, kicked the garbage off his feet, and walked to his study.

……

The next morning, the principal's office.

Ange was in good spirits, like an old tree in spring, and Schneider felt as if he was a few years younger.

"Headmaster, what's the matter?" Schneider's hoarse voice sounded, like a ghost whispering behind a person's back with a yin wind, but Ange still looked calm, after all, he should have gotten used to it after all these years.

"There's a place that needs to be explored by the Enforcement Department." Ange handed over the folder.

"Exploration mission? Is it the tomb of a pharaoh? Schneider took the folder, but was stunned at the sight of the red S.

"S-class exploration missions?" Schneider asked rhetorically, uncertain.

In the past records of the Executive Department, such exploratory tasks were generally assigned to trainees for internships, and it is quite rare for the principal to personally hand over to Schneider, who is the head of the Executive Department.

"Don't despise it, this is the Dragonlord's foundry." Ange saw Schneider's doubts and whispered a warning.

"The Dragon King?" The man stood up with a snort, and even the respirator shook a little, the word Dragon King meant something really extraordinary to him, and his respiratory system was destroyed by the enemies of the Dragon King level at that time, taking the lives of his six students.

"Take it easy, Schneider, it's just where the Lord of Bronze and Fire once stayed, and there is no living dragon king in it." Ange smiled and calmed down the ready arrow in front of him: "I just need you to make a plan and select some people with good blood to explore. ”

"Where?" Schneider struggled to breathe and calm himself.

"Sichuan, China." Ange thought for a moment, "If the information is correct. ”

"Understood."

Schneider nodded, picked up the file bag and turned to leave.

Ange looked at the man's rickety figure, sipping a cigar in his mouth, and fell into deep thought.

……

"Take two quick steps." The girl gave orders with a blank face.

"Hey, hey, I didn't say I was going." Lu Mingfei, who had not fully woken up from his nap, yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, aren't you going to a banquet too?" Zero made a face, "Just by the way." ”

"The banquet is in the evening, not in the afternoon!" Lu Mingfei immediately retorted: "There are still more than three hours left." ”

"I'm afraid of danger." Zero continued to walk on.

What dangers can there be in broad daylight? Besides, the biggest danger in this academy is a few people, including you, I remember when you kicked the oxygen tank out of the window and almost blew up the school!

Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva and followed behind the girl without saying a word.

Because the girl stopped and looked at him directly, waiting for him to say something.

"It's a nice day." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"Since it's okay, let's go." Zero turned around, his tone flat, "Caesar said he had a surprise in store for us. “
