"So according to the records of history and our inferences, the four great monarchs of the dragon clan, and the dragon kings on the other three thrones are about to awaken. The Mass Awakening is one of the most important prophecies in mythology, and Norton's Awakening is a testament to this prophecy. "So we don't have time to wait any longer, we have to pick the best one from among the best candidates and do our best to train him." This man will become the natural enemy of the dragon king and the savior of the world. ”

"So you mean, the school board chose me?" Caesar pointed to himself. "But if what you call all-out training is to increase the course arrangement training or something, then forget it, I'm not good at that, my GPA is only 2.7, which is not outstanding."

"It's not something like that." "What we're going to strengthen is your bloodline," Frost said. ”

"Strengthening the bloodline?"

"Do you know that someone can have more than two spirits?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Did you know that there are some half-bloods who can achieve pure-blood strength in their half-bloods?"

"And this?"

"Do you know the so-called 'Half-Blood Sovereign'?"

"How fresh!"

Frost frowned, he tapped his cane, and said, "Where did you learn this way of talking?" Have you forgotten even the basic etiquette for a few years in school? ”

"This is a language art called cross talk, which is popular in China, and it is the result of my study of Chinese culture." Caesar said solemnly.

Frost twitched out of the corner of his eye, took a breath, and then continued, "All in all, the power of the 'Half-Blood Sovereign' may even be able to surpass that of the Dragon King!" This is the 'Nibelungen' plan, strengthening the bloodline, breaking through the 'critical blood limit', breaking through the theoretical limit. Caesar, this is not a joke, the Council of Elders of the Secret Party can do it, it is a great gift, and we are choosing the right person to give. By accepting this gift, you will gain strength, but it will also mean great sacrifice, and you will endure hardships and may even die. Would you like to? ”

Caesar rarely looked at his uncle squarely, but the casual smile on his face did not relent.

Frost's face was solemn, like that of a minister, and the room was very quiet, and everyone waited for Caesar's reaction.

Caesar pouted: "This scene is really a bit like ...... Wedding vows. ”

"Caesar!" Frost's eyes widened, and he was furious.

Ange laughed out loud.

"Huge sacrifices, hardships, desperate lives, these sound bluffing, but they are not an unacceptable price, there are people in the academy who are willing to sacrifice these small things in exchange for strength, and their determination is even above me." Caesar said, "Then let me wonder a little, why did you choose me?" ”

"Because you're good enough, of course." Ange said.

"Then why can't it be Chu Zihang?"

"He doesn't have the experience of killing the Dragon King, which is not as good as you."

"What about Lu Mingfei?"

Ange smiled, "It's been less than a year since Ming Fei came into contact with the half-breed, and he's still a newcomer, and many people think it's my mistake to rate him as an 'S' class. ”

"I don't include me in the 'many' you say." Caesar shook his head, revealing a look of memory, "Lu Mingfei's excellence is undoubted, only his enemies can appreciate it, and I am fortunate to experience it once, which is ...... Blood boil. ”

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of him." Ange said.

"You know better than I do whether my assessment is objective or not," Caesar said coldly, "you value him, he once cooperated with you to deliver a fatal blow to the dragon king, you may give anyone a 'S' rating on a whim, but when fighting dragons, I don't believe you would give your life to a mediocre man." ”

"Maybe you're right, but your uncle insists that you're the best." Ange was noncommittal, "He said that competence is not just blood, but also organizational and leadership skills. Our savior not only needs genius, it is just a tool, we also need a leader who can lead everyone to victory, you are the most dazzling leader in the new generation, even Chu Zihang can't compare to you in this regard, the student council has grown under your leadership to a club that can overwhelm the Lionheart, so we list you as the first candidate for the 'Nibelungen Project'. ”

Frost spoke, his tone becoming softer: "Caesar, do you understand now?" The family will always have a selfless love for you...... and anticipation. ”

This is Frost Gattuso's statement, expressing the determination of the Gattuso family to support Caesar, no one in the school board has expressed their opinion, no matter how strong the Gattuso family is, it is impossible to make a decision on the list of candidates, Caesar is indeed the best candidate who has been recognized by everyone after a rigorous selection.

Caesar listened to his uncle's words, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face.

"Uncle, have you ever lost the most important person in your life?" Caesar abruptly changed the subject and asked a strange question.

"Oh, I forgot, people like my uncle don't have any important people in their lives, so you probably don't know that people who have this kind of experience can sometimes become very stubborn and very resistant to certain things." Caesar smiled and pointed to his heart, "The psychiatrist diagnosed that this is a mental illness. ”

"As long as I say yes, will I be able to get the full support of my family and reach the top of the half-blood?" Caesar looked at Frost Road.

"That's inevitable." Frost frowned, feeling that something was not quite right, but still said, "This is the family's love for you!" ”

"And yet I refuse!" Caesar nodded.

"What!" Frost clenched the cane in his hand.

"One of my favorite things Caesar to do is to say 'no' to a self-righteous guy like my uncle!" Caesar smiled happily, "If nothing else, then I'll be out of company." ”

Caesar got up, bowed politely to the school boarders, and left the room without looking back.

……

"Would it be fun to challenge the majesty of the family and the school board?"

Ivy-covered marble columns, Frost asked Caesar.

Caesar shook the iced gin in his glass and nodded seriously: "Isn't it fun that the powerful can only run for nothing because of the three words 'I refuse'?" ”

Instead of getting angry, Frost sighed, "What makes you so mean?" You should know that you are the one your family has been waiting for for hundreds of years, your bloodline talents are all top-notch, and you also aspire to be a leader, don't you? Your hard work is seen by the family, the family loves you, we will only help you, because you are the best, the family does not want to see someone stand in your way, so the family has promoted the 'Nibelungen Project', which is to ensure your future status. ”

"Oh, 'the bloodline talents are all top-notch'!" Caesar repeated Frost's words in a mocking tone, "Uncle, are you too old to remember?" Then let me remind you that I have inherited only half of the so-called 'noble blood' of the Gattuso family, and the other half of the bloodline comes from a lowly surname, although lowly, she also has her own name. The smile on Caesar's face had disappeared, "her name is 'Gulveg'." ”

"There is a deep misunderstanding between you and your family, Caesar." "Gurveg's bloodline is indeed not noble," said Frost, "and her marriage to your father was not blessed by the family. But you are different, you are the best descendant of the bloodline recognized by the family, and you are destined to inherit the glory of the Gattuso family! ”

"A woman of humble origin, married a husband of noble blood, gave birth to a child, and then she died. Her husband's family despises her bloodline, but approves of children mixed with her bloodline? Caesar said with a blank face, "Do you want me to tell this story with a smile?" ”

"Caesar, you should believe in the family, your mother's death has nothing to do with the family, her funeral was extremely glorious, the Pope himself presided over, the whole family was present, and her soul has rested." Frost said.

"Her death has nothing to do with the family? So what does she have to do with her family? Did she give birth to a son? Caesar sneered again, but the chill in his pupils almost condensed into ice, "There is an idiom in China, called a mother is more expensive than a son, which means that when a son has a chance, a mother can live a good life, but when she dies, she can no longer see or hear, she did not live a good life when she was alive, this is the price she paid for giving birth to me." ”

"I was the only one with her side at the time," Caesar clenched his fists, "I held her hand and didn't dare to let go, I was afraid, how terrible it was, she couldn't hear or see it, and if no one held her hand, would she feel that even I had abandoned her...... The family has already begun to prepare for her funeral, but how does she know? What does mourning have to do with her? Her entire connection to the world was just the warmth that passed from the palm of my hand. ”

"Uncle, if you are going to try to convince me with these hypocritical, disgusting things, then I have only one answer." Caesar's voice was hoarse, "I'm Gurveg's child, and I'm not that close to your Gattuso family. ”

Frost was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said, "Caesar, the wind is blowing." ”

In the distance, the Gulf of Genoa is undulating, dark clouds are rolling, and not only is the wind rising, but there will also be a torrential rain.

"Before you came in, the family had a dispute with Ange over the previous issue." "We just killed the Lord of Bronze and Fire, and we had a quarrel over this epoch-making miracle, why so?" Frost said. Because the wind has risen, the sky has changed, and a new era is coming. ”

Caesar didn't speak, just looked at Frost.

"The half-breed is now able to kill the Dragon King, what does that mean? This means that the history of the dragon race is about to end, so without the dragon race, what is the best race in the world? There are only half-breeds, we are far better than pure humans, and the dragons are gone, which is the moment when the half-breeds officially appear on the stage of history! Frost looked into the distance, as if he was looking into a bright future, "The pattern of the world will be rewritten at that moment, just like the Age of Discovery, just like the Industrial Revolution, the future will be the age of half-breeds!" And you, Caesar Gattuso, will be the leader of the half-bloods! Isn't it enough that your family is supporting you? You will be the ...... of the new era Emperor! ”

Caesar laughed, "Need I make my words clearer?" Uncle, everyone is an adult, don't say anything about family love, we all know that a family is just a family, there will be no love, the family supports me, just because there is no other suitable candidate, because they will never be able to compete with me. ”

"I do have a desire to prove myself, a desire for glory and power." Caesar said coldly, "But unlike you, my future will be created by my own hands, and I will get everything I expect, not because the Gattuso family chose me, but because I am Caesar!" Take back your stupid gifts, you make me sick. ”

Frost and Caesar looked at each other, not to be outdone, but in the end he withdrew his gaze and took out an envelope from his bosom: "I have come this time, and I have brought a letter from your father, and now I will give it to you...... The family already knows about the person you like. Unfortunately, she, like your mother Gulwig, is not noble enough. But the family doesn't want your mother's tragedy to happen again, so we're willing to change the rules for you. ”

"If you are willing to accept the gift of the family," Frost said triumphantly, "the family will make an exception to approve your marriage contract with Chen Motong, and your union will be blessed by the entire family and even the entire half-race society." ”

Caesar did not speak, but slowly finished the wine in the glass: "I don't want to be too rude, so, uncle, please leave my sight immediately." ”

"What?" Frost was stunned, "You should understand what sacrifices the family has made!" This is against the decision of the ancestors! Do you still have doubts? You are the future head of the Gattuso family! You don't want your future wife, Chen Motong, to be unblessed when she marries into the Gattuso family, do you? Then she'......"

"Bang!"

The wine glass in Caesar's hand shattered to slag on the ground, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly fierce, and his ice-blue pupils glowed with a faint gold: "Do you want me to repeat it again?" Get lost!!! ”

……

Caesar had another glass of wine, and he stood in the courtyard watching the light gray waves rise and fall in the night ahead, and the waves several meters high crashed against the cliff at his feet, shattering into snow-white foam, and the storm swept through the place tonight.

On this lonely night, Caesar suddenly remembered a poem that Nono had shared with him, written by a modern Chinese poet who had died young, who was about his age when he wrote it, and Nono asked him to recite it to her, and then laughed and trembled.

Caesar pulled out his phone, edited the poem into a text message, and sent it to Nono.

"Sister, I'm in Delingha tonight, and the night is shrouded

Sister, I only have the Gobi tonight

At the end of the prairie, I was empty-handed

Can't hold a teardrop when grieving

Sister, I'm in Delingha tonight

This is a desolate city in the rain

Except for those who pass by and live

Delingha ......

Tonight it's the only, last, lyrical

This is the only, last, steppe

I give the stone back to the stone

Let the victory win

Tonight, the barley is only herself

Everything is growing

Tonight I only have the beautiful Gobi desert

Sister, I don't care about humans tonight, I only think about you"
