Chapter 23: The Eve of the Operation

"Ahem." Ange coughed twice and motioned to listen to him, "There are many team commissioners dispatched by the academy to settle this matter, your investigation team is only three people, don't feel that there is a shortage of manpower or anything, the personnel are not expensive, you are all "A" and "S" level, even Fingal was once "A" level, you are already stronger than most commissioners in the executive department in terms of blood. The more noble the status of the ancient dragon, the greater the role that the bloodline can play."

"The student part has dispatched two groups this time, in addition to you, the other group includes Caesar Gattuso, Chen Motong and Xia Mi." Schneider said.

"Hey, hey! Why can Caesar go on a mission alone with two beautiful schoolgirls, and we can only fight the landlord with three singles?" Fingal protested.

"So you don't have a problem with this mission?" The night watchman laughed.

Fingal immediately retorted: "I'm just criticizing the inequality that exists here, and I have reservations about the assignment!"

"Stop playing tricks, it wasn't my decision to send Caesar. It is the opinion of the School Council." "Chu Zihang's ancestry is still 'in doubt', and the school board insisted on adding a group, and it was Caesar's choice for Chen Motong and Xia Mi to be members," Ange said.

"Wow! Brother, this is a naked provocation!" Fingal looked at Chu Zihang and said exaggeratedly, "I'm really not a troublemaker, this is obviously Caesar's careful eye, because his fiancée is talking to you today, so he deliberately dug into your corner!" If I were you, I wouldn't be able to swallow this!"

Otherwise, Fingal and Lu Mingfei are roommates, and what he said is exactly the same as what Ange said when he bought ice cream with Xia Mi at Six Flags Amusement Park.

Chu Zihang tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said expressionlessly, "Then you better hurry up."

"That's a good kind donkey," Fingal said indignantly, then looked at the headmaster, "For such a dangerous mission, headmaster, can you provide some powerful equipment?" You can't let those crazy people in the equipment department just eat and don't do anything! Let's get some sports cars equipped with alchemy cannons or something, the more the merrier!"

"It's a pity, because the location of this operation is too special, try to follow the normal process, don't think about the rest." Ange said.

"That's right, Senior Brother Wastewood, don't show your feet and be reported." Lu Mingfei reminded.

"So don't worry, Caesar's advantage is not much greater than yours, we still have a good chance of winning!" Ange said optimistically.

"What does it matter to me whether Caesar has an advantage or not? The important thing is that our lives may not be safe!" Fingal said, "Headmaster, why don't you give us a nail clipper so that we can slaughter the Black King?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, even if you don't believe in yourself, try to believe in me who believes in you!" Ange said.

Hearing this famous line of magic change, Lu Mingfei couldn't spit it out in his throat because Fingal had already vomited first: "Headmaster, even if you have watched "Tianyuan Breakthrough", you can't burn it on this occasion now, and that line is not like that......

"Anyway, it's enough for you to comprehend the spirit," Ange waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's it, dismiss the meeting, and Chu Zihang stays."

The rest of the people left, and after the door was closed, Ange looked at Chu Zihang and asked, "How is the situation lately?" Does it work?"

Chu Zihang nodded: "The effect is very good, much more stable than before."

"It's good if it works, but don't take it lightly." Nodding his head, he pondered for a moment, "Actually, there is another alchemy technique that can help you avoid being rewritten by a higher proportion of dragon blood, but this technique is too expensive and can only be used by one person. The Nibelungen plans to weed out the insecure bloodlines in the academy while also selecting candidates to help him "evolve". So even if you fail, it's a way back."

"What do you mean?"

"You're on the list of candidates," Ange said, "and your biggest competitor is Caesar, and you need a contribution to compete with him for that candidacy, and you deserve that honor if he kills a dragon king."

"Understood!" Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, looked at Ange and said, "Thanks."

Thanks!"

"No, I don't." Ange smiled and raised his glass to him.

"By the way, I have one more thing to say." Chu Zihang said, "If Fingal really doesn't want to go, I don't think we should force him."

"Lu Mingfei and Fingal live in a dormitory, he didn't say anything, do you think Fingal is really a waste of wood?" Ange smiled, "There may be students who don't know the truth who think so, but this is a wrong conclusion, Fingal von Frings, who entered the school with a "A' bloodline, has participated in many missions, and is the most experienced commissioner among the students."

"Later, he stopped doing the mission, and his grades plummeted, and his rank dropped to the unique "G" grade, because he was seriously injured in a mission, and even affected his sanity," Ange sighed, "This is what the Academy owes him, so he has been able to repeat the grade for so many years, because what you see now is not his real state...... Although he used to be messy too...... But it's not the same at all. He I saw ten years ago is what I see you now."

After speaking, Ange took out his precious folding knife that never left his body and pushed it in front of Chu Zihang: "I lend it to you, it is made of the fragment of the blade of the Atcan long knife handed down by my friend Menek's family, it is a precious souvenir. Remember to give it back to me when you're done."

"Yes." Chu Zihang took the folding knife, nodded and turned to leave.

After Chu Zihang left, someone walked out of the side door, and the vice principal night watchman went and returned, looking for a chair to sit down: "Are you optimistic about Chu Zihang now?"

"He has potential, and I am optimistic about every student who has potential." The headmaster took the last sip of tea in his cup and said.

"Then Caesar has a lot of potential, right? We've already got the path to godhood, so the Nibelungen Project isn't that important, so it doesn't matter if we give it to the Gattusos, right?" Said the night watchman.

"I can't swallow this breath if I let it go," Ange said casually, "and Caesar has the secrets of the Gattuso family, and I don't mind adding some trouble to the Gattuso family, they stretch their hand too long."

"Alright," said the Night's Watchman, "I hope the Gattuso family will not be your enemy."

At the same time as the night tea party in the principal's office ended, the hall of the Amber Pavilion was brightly lit, and the central table was filled with black chests, the lid of which was opened, and inside were all kinds of equipment, just looking at their appearance, normal people could not associate them with weapons.

These are the results of the equipment department of the Kassel Academy.

A member of the Armament Department is introducing Caesar to these deadly props that look like daily necessities.

"It's a simple modified Vertu phone that can be used as a normal or bomb."

"Your passport, already processed, can be turned into a bomb if you have to."

"This box is full of specially made camouflage bombs, forty-five in all, and we will prepare a copy of the instructions for you."

"This lighter is also a bomb?" Natsumi found a silver lighter from the pile of equipment.

The researcher from the Armament Department sneered, "The lighter modified bomb would be ridiculed if it appeared in the Armament Department, so it's actually just an extra MP3 function!" Top sound quality with built-in amplifier."

"Good stuff." Natsumi grabbed the lighter, "Can I take this?"

"No problem, you can take any equipment here." Caesar shrugged.

"Excuse me," Natsumi happily toyed with the lighter, "and everything else is really lacking in beauty."

Caesar patted Xia Mi on the shoulder: "Although I helped Chu Zihang once, it doesn't mean that I am his friend, the opponent will always be the opponent until the winner is decided, you don't mind accepting the enemy's gift at all?"

"There is no food, no clothing, and the enemy is sent forward; No guns, no cannons, the enemy will make it for us~" Xia Mi put away the lighter, hummed two lyrics softly, and then picked up the plate and ate the cake unceremoniously, "I'm an undercover agent, do you understand?" I'm Chu Zihang's rumored girlfriend, don't you know?"

"I know, I know." joyful

Sa had no choice but to nod, thinking that someone could swear that he was someone's rumored girlfriend, a nervous thing he had only seen in Lu Mingfei and Fingal.

If Chu Zihang knew Caesar's evaluation, he would probably nod his head and praise the hero's opinion.

"All of this equipment is just an appetizer, and there is a special item that the school board told us to send to you." A researcher in black uniform, who looked very different from the other researchers, said carrying a black box.

The man didn't open the box, and Caesar smiled at Natsumi, "Why don't you come to see something interesting?"

In the study, the black chest opened, and inside was a delicate crossbow, equipped with a unique crossbow arrow, the arrow of which was relatively large, and the arrow was a prismatic crystal glass.

Caesar's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a filament as red as blood in the crystal glass, and the surface of the filament flowed with a crystalline shimmer.

"The Philosopher's Stone?"

"This is not an ordinary philosopher's stone, it is a philosopher's stone refined from the dragon bone of the dragon king Konstantin, which is quite special." The researcher glanced at the puzzled expression on Caesar's face and explained, "The Philosopher's Stone is a pure spiritual element, and this piece contains some pure fire elements, which gives it some special properties."

"Special features?" Caesar raised an eyebrow.

"When it comes into contact with oxygen, everything around it will burn violently at an explosive rate." "It's the power of the Lord of Bronze and Fire, a burning 'order'."

"Sounds like some kind of verbal effect." Caesar nodded.

"That's right, when it takes effect, it will release a field similar to that of a field, and everything in the field will start to burn, producing an explosion, a force that current science can't quite explain."

"The clan wants me to use this power to kill the first generation?" Caesar put the bolt back in the chest, "Sounds like Prometheus, the Fire Thief, who stole a trace of the power of the Lord of Bronze and Fire to deal with the King of Earth and Mountain?"

"Sounds incorrigibly stupid." Caesar shook his head, "Even a three-year-old knows that it is impossible to kill another person by pouring blood into a water gun."

"But by freezing blood into an ice blade, there is the possibility of killing another person." The researcher spread his hands, "That's what our equipment department does, no one can deny that it's a powerful weapon, and even the dragon kings can't use this way, after all, they can't refine themselves into philosopher's stones."

"You have a point." Caesar closed the box, "In that case, I will take it."

The researcher smiled, turned and pushed the door open. A girl stood outside the door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, and the researcher walked out as if he didn't see her, but Caesar's face changed slightly when he saw the girl.

"Shall we talk about it alone?" Caesar smiled at Natsumi, like coaxing a child, "If you want to eat cake, you can go to the refrigerator and get it yourself."

"That's so generous, no problem!" Natsumi flashed past the girl with a plate, and the two glanced at each other and nodded politely.

The girl closed the door to the study and sat down on the couch, carrying a thick file bag in her hand.

"Keeping promises is a virtue." Caesar nodded to her, "Would you like a drink or something?"

"No, as we said before, I'll give you something." The girl threw the file bag to Chu Zihang, "This is the information I photocopied for Chu Zihang, the only book of the Lionheart Society, many of which are badly damaged."

Caesar opened the file bag and looked at it, and exclaimed, "What a precious treasure, and everything I want is in it?"

"Everything about 'Burst of Blood' is in it, and he's researched it from these broken records, and you've always been as conceited as he is, so you should be able to see something." The girl said, "The deal between us is complete, you support Chu Zihang, I'll give you these things, Liangqing, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first."

"If he found out that he was not alone in this world who understood 'Burst of Blood', would he hate you?" Caesar suddenly said, "It's his

O riches, and you have used them without consulting him."

"You don't know him any less than I do, and you don't need to test me with such words." The girl said impatiently, "He's just a dead child, he wants to take care of everyone, but he doesn't know how to take care of himself."

"He's the kind of dead kid who, no matter what, must walk forward with his neck on his head, and when he encounters difficulties, he doesn't say a word, he goes his own way, he doesn't cry, he doesn't make a fuss, he doesn't talk, until he finishes his journey, or dies on the road." There was a serious glint in the girl's dark eyes, "But the dead child needs help, and if no one helps him, he will really die on the road."

"Is it worth it that he won't stop to take a look at him after paying so much for him?" Caesar leaned against the window and sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here at this time, otherwise I'd have asked Natsumi to wait in another room first."

"It's okay, I like him...... What does it have to do with him?" The girl turned.

"I'll bring him back safely, because I won't give him a chance to face the Dragon King. But after that, whether he will choose Xia Mi or you, it has nothing to do with me, something ...... If I were you, I would go for it." Caesar raised his glass to the girl's back, "Good night, Susie."

"I've heard enough of the words 'If I were you,' I'm not anybody, and no one is me."

Susie closed the door, leaving only one last word.

"Take care of Nono, if she suffers the slightest grievance from you, I will peel you off."
