The elevator passed through a crack in the rock, and Lu Mingfei pointed to something in front of him and asked, "Is that a Mayan pyramid?"

"That's right," Ange said, "we moved from the jungles of South America."

The elevator stopped in front of the pyramid, and the principal led Lu Mingfei to the huge cement base where the pyramid was placed, and introduced, "Unlike ordinary pyramids, it has five sides, each side has one hundred and thirty-three stone steps, and each step is engraved with ancient Mayan characters."

Ange reached out and touched the surface of the black stone that made up the pyramid: "This pyramid is special, it is the almanac of the Mayans, the history of the whole world in the hearts of the Mayans."

"But the Mayan civilization is a very special civilization, and in their culture, history is not only the past, but also the present...... and the future."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

"It is the book of the past, the book of the present, the book of the future." "It's a book of history and a book of prophecy," Ange said.

"The prophecy of the Mayans." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Sounds like good material for stall literature."

"The Mayans' Doomsday Prophecy." Ange looked at Lu Mingfei, "Have you heard of it?"

Lu Mingfei nodded: "It's been popular for a while, "2012".

"That's right, 2012 is a significant time in the Mayan calendar, and that year is the end of the fifth solar age." "The Mayans created the solar calendar, which is both a calendar, a history, and a book of prophecy. They write the future into history because they believe that everything is predestined. The history of this world is finite, there is a beginning and an end, there are five solar ages, the first four solar ages have produced developed ancient civilizations, and all end in destruction, among which Matlaktili was destroyed by the flood, Eucotel was destroyed by the wind serpent, Queyavelo was destroyed by the earth, and Zondrik was destroyed by the rain of fire."

"After every cataclysm, there is a civilization that starts a new solar age, but history ends here, there is no sixth, and when the fifth solar age passes, everything will be destroyed, it will be zero, it will be empty." Ange's eyes were blazing, "Neither dragons nor humans will survive that end."

"The Flood...... Wind Snake ...... Ground ...... Fire Rain ......" Lu Mingfei frowned, "Four elements?"

"Yes, earth, water, wind and fire, the four elements, and the representatives who master them are the four kings on the throne of the dragon clan. Therefore, the destruction of the first four ancient civilizations should have been caused by the four monarchs respectively. The fifth time no one knows."

"The Black King?" Lu Mingfei speculated.

"It doesn't say in the almanac, maybe it's the black king, maybe it's the white king, or even the four monarchs joining forces?" Ange shrugged, "You enrolled in 2009, and if what the Mayans say is true, and we can't solve this disaster, then I think you'll have a hard time getting your diploma."

"Are the Mayan prophecies reliable?" Lu Mingfei questioned, "Their civilization has not even survived to this day, and it was destroyed by the colonizers a long time ago."

"The ancient Mayan civilization went through its own decline and lost a lot of its heritage," Ange said, "but their prophecies are not necessarily unreliable, because the real prophecies were written by the dragons."

"Dragons?" Lu Mingfei recalled what he had learned about this part in class, "I remember, the dragon clan has its own religion, is this their religious myth? What do they believe? Why do you prophesy your own destruction?"

"It's not clear what they believe, but it can only be surmised from the records about them, and it's very likely that they believe in the Black King Nidhogg." Ange shook his head, "He is the supreme, powerful, and virtuous being, ruling the whole world with his destiny."

"As for predicting their own destruction, it is related to the worldview of the dragons, who believe that destruction is the inevitable end of the world, that history is one-way, that it will not repeat itself or produce branches, and that fate will move straight forward, all the way to ...... Death!" "This is the worldview of the dragons, everything they believe in, each dragon king has foreseen the end of his destiny, but they are still cocooning and awakening, trying to rebel against their sad fate."

"Sounds pessimistic." Lu Mingfei said, "But as far as I know, there is no ancient civilization development at all

To the extent that we are now, the probability of the destruction of those ancient civilizations in Mayan prophecies is not very high, and the territory occupied by the civilization is not comparable to the current one, compared with modern civilization, it is not even a baby, the dragon king may be able to destroy an ancient civilization with a population of one million, but modern civilization is not something that can be destroyed by floods, typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, even if the four monarchs join forces, it is impossible to destroy human civilization."

"You're right." "Humanity is advancing at a rapid pace in science and technology, and we have made incredible progress in a hundred years, but the problem is that we still don't know enough about the enemies we are facing," Ange said.

"The complete liberation of the power of the four great monarchs is already equivalent to a mobile natural disaster. On top of that, we don't know what kind of means the White King, which corresponds to the fifth element, "spirit", has. And above the White King, there is also the source of the dragon race, and the black king of all dragon beliefs is almost equivalent to a god walking in the world, and we don't know whether he has the means to destroy modern human civilization."

"With so much to know, we should be cautious." "There's a science fiction writer in China who wrote an excellent book called 'The Three-Body Problem,' and there's a sentence in it that I agree with," Ange said.

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is." Ange recited the famous line and continued, "Actually, what will happen in 2012, we don't know, we've been waiting...... And the result of waiting is...... The dragon kings who have been silent for a long time have awakened one after another, this is an unprecedented collective awakening, Ming Fei, you now know what kind of responsibility we have, right?"

Lu Mingfei doesn't know what to say, the so-called end of the world, most people will take it as a joke, right? But now the joke suddenly becomes a wall of reality, coldly and stiffly across somewhere in front of you, and it tells you that if you can't cross it, there is no future.

Lu Mingfei glanced up at the above, a black iron box was being transported from the suspended track to the depths of the earth: "What are our chances of winning?"

"I don't know." "We didn't know the odds until the last minute, but remember what I told you in Chicago? For all I have, I will do whatever it takes."

He also turned his head and glanced at the black iron box in mid-air: "That's the skeleton of Dragon King Constantine, the only real 'Dragon Bone Cross' in the world now, which has been placed in the alchemy laboratory for analysis, but now it is an eventful season, so it has to be transported to the deepest part and buried."

"If you're interested, feel free to check it out, after all, it's still your trophy." Ange glanced at Lu Mingfei, "But don't touch it casually."

……

Rome, Italy.

Frost Gattuso's desk is lined with two black-and-white photographs, one of the ruins of the South Railway Station and the other of the Serpent in the Atrium.

"Is the Dragon King awake? That's a surprising conclusion, how sure are you?" Frost asked.

"Ange convened a meeting of tenured professors overnight to analyze, and the result of the discussion was that such a precise method of controlling the stress of the building itself would never come from humans, and it was most likely the power of high-level speech spirits that could only be driven by the four monarch levels." Percy bowed down, her pale blonde hair hanging down, covering half of her face.

"Interesting," Frost said coldly, "the incident at the South Railway Station is even more interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"Assuming that it was really the Dragon King who had revived, with his dignity and tyranny, he did not choose to attack directly, but launched two assassination-style attacks, which can only show that his strength has not yet recovered. In that case, why was he so eager to attack? Where will he use it first when his power is limited?" Frost asked.

Parcy thought for a moment, then replied, "There should be an opponent who will have to be eliminated first before he recovers his strength."

"Correct! He must have had to do it, from this point of view, it would not be surprising that he would sneak attack Ange at the Six Flags Amusement Park, Ange is an opponent that all dragon kings should be wary of, so his

Another operation, the South Railway Station, is worth playing." Frost tore off a piece of paper and wrote down two lists of names, then handed them to Patsy, "This shows that the Dragon King has another goal, and his real target is among the people who have appeared in the two lists repeatedly."

Patsy looked at the piece of paper, the first line was three names, "Raymond, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei", and the second line was four names, "Ange, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi".

"Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei?" Patcy said.

"Lu Mingfei can basically rule it out, his target is Chu Zihang." Frost said.

"Chu Zihang has some unexplainable things about him, and we have to put him under our control. From that information from China, it shows that he had some mysterious experiences related to dragons from an early age, and I would love to know what it was."

"Understood!" Patcy said.

"In addition, Chu Zihang is also very useful." "I think we can get a new headmaster."

Patsy was shocked, "What are your arrangements?"

"Ange doesn't think we have anyone to replace him." Frost knocked on the table, "That's right, in the entire secret party, no, in the whole world, no one can replace Angers. But that doesn't mean we can't get rid of him, Angers is Angers, the president of the Kassel Academy is the president of the Kassel Academy, and it's time for the Kassel Academy to return to the management of the school board. Chu Zihang's unstable bloodline can be used as the best evidence for the impeachment of Ange. With this, we can also win the support of the vast majority of school managers."

"Understood." Patcy said, "I'll start preparing right away."

On the bell tower of the chapel, the door was pushed open, and a man dressed in black carried a black sealed box in his hand.

"I brought what you wanted, it cost $100 million, and I hope it's worth it." Ange sat down on the couch and placed the sealed box on the floor.

The night watchman grabbed a bottle of single malt whiskey and poured a small half glass to Ange: "Bet on it, don't you lose money in keeping it, don't you believe my eyes?"

"It's always hard not to doubt your vision." Ange took a sip of his wine and looked around the scruffy attic, the sunny side was full of glass windows, but plastered with huge posters of low-cut girls, and there was only one bed with no quilts folded, and beyond that, a single sofa under Ange and a set of computer desks and boss chairs, and a large bookshelf full of Westerns and DVDs. On top of that, there's empty wine bottles and adult magazines thrown everywhere, and it's hard to get your feet on.

Anyone who has seen the layout of this room will have a hard time believing that this is where the Academy's top hidden figure, the Vice Chancellor's Night Watch, has lived for decades.

"Alchemy Treasure Box." The Night's Watch rubbed his hands together and opened the black sealed box, revealing a beautifully crafted box of metal cubes inside, "Made of recycled metal, the highest specification, tsk."

The Night's Watch picked up the alchemy box and knocked on it, then looked left and right, and couldn't put it down: "I thought that there would be no second person in this era who could make this thing besides me."

Ange was stunned for a moment: "This era? Isn't it an antiquity?"

"Of course it's not an antiquity!" The night watchman pointed to the pattern on it, "You see, this design style is the style that was only popular in some computer games in the 90s."

"That news alone is worth $100 million." Said the night watchman.

"A message? Worth $100 million?" Ange was surprised.

"For example, if you have news of the alchemy inheritance of the Flamel lineage, do you think anyone will be willing to pay $100 million for it?" Said the night watchman.

Ange looked at the night watchman with inexplicable eyes, because the night watch was the inheritor of Flamel, the largest alchemy family in the Middle Ages, and his ancestor Nicolas Flamel, or Nicol Lemay, was known as the greatest alchemist in European history, because he made the Philosopher's Stone, the alchemical inheritance of the Flamel lineage, has always been known as the most authentic alchemy in Europe.

Ange didn't say anything after all, but asked, "Can you open it?"

"What a joke!" The Night's Watch shouted angrily, "You ask me if I can

Open it? Of course I'm ......."

The night watchman pulled a blood sample out of his trouser pocket: "Of course I can!"

Ange narrowed his eyes, "Is that a blood sample of the Key?"

"That's right." The night watchman opened the test tube and dripped the drop of blood on the alchemy treasure box, "It's more convenient, it saves time and effort."

Sure enough, as soon as the night watchman's words fell, the alchemy treasure box, which looked like a solid block cast of metal, formed cracks along the lines on it.
