Chapter 33: The White King
Bone china teapots pour crimson water, and sets of teacups are gradually filled with top-notch Ceylon black teas, which are produced in the UVA region of Sri Lanka, harvested at the best time of the tea season, and then preserved in a precise process, with a rich but not heavy taste, with a strong capitalist flavor.
Chen Mo sat on the hospitality sofa in the principal's office, his body relaxed, smelling the aroma of wood in the air, and the sunlight outside the window shone in through the skylight, as if it could dispel all the cold, "The principal's afternoon tea is one of the highest honors in the eyes of Kassel students, it is said that only the best students will be invited, I really didn't expect that one day I would sit here and drink a cup of tea you made, although the protagonist of today's invitation is not me." ”
"The so-called invitation of the best students is just a rumor, and I am just inviting some interested students. What's more, you're one of the best of all the students I've taught, do you need some milk for tea? ”
"Thanks, please add a little milk." Chen Mo smiled: "Isn't it only excellent that can arouse your interest?" Even if some people seem unqualified, it is because they have good enough potential. As for me, I mean I didn't expect that I would return to the academy as a student after being exposed, I'm not a presumptuous person, and seeing myself clearly is the premise of seeing other people. ”
Ange couldn't help but smile bitterly at the bold speech of the recent graduate, and his words showed a very restrained self-confidence, although restrained, but this self-confidence presence was very strong, and it seemed reasonable to recall what he had done in the past few days.
"Student's status?" Instead of capturing the emotions of the words, the girl who was also sitting on the sofa drinking black tea keenly captured noteworthy information, and by the way, Elizabeth was a faction of pure tea.
Ange's eyes lit up: "The academy will welcome an excellent alchemist as a teacher. ”
"The truth is that the college won't accept a recent graduate to come back to school as a teacher." Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "You are very welcome, it does not mean that the academy is welcome, I have checked the information, the recruitment of every teacher position in Kassel must go through layers of screening, the level of dragon research requirements, the school board of trustees approved, the president approves, and then voted by the council composed of tenured professors." ”
Ange scratched his head: "The professor's position is indeed a bit troublesome, but I think the equipment department will be very ........"
"If you like to be underground all day long in an area full of men, you can go on your own."
Choked back before he finished speaking, the principal hesitated for a moment, and then suggested, "The executive department? ”
"I think Professor Schneider would be willing to do his job until he died." Chen Mo thought of the man who was originally meticulous and became the executive minister after that incident, and sighed faintly.
"But we can't let him really die of exhaustion in the executive minister's office." Ange said: "He will not accept stepping down from that position, maybe you can be his deputy, and you don't have to worry about the daily affairs, but some important actions that require a long period of tension, Schneider's body is not suitable for him to be overdrawn repeatedly." ”
Chen Mo raised his hands helplessly: "It sounds good, but if I don't accept it, one day Professor Schneider is really tired to death, I will think that it is my fault, and your skills in moral kidnapping are really amazing." ”
"It's a pity that most of the people I know don't have the morals worth kidnapping." Regarding Chen Mo's half-joking, half-protesting answer, Ange also chose to respond with a joke.
"Let's save this for later, our topic today is not my life plan." Chen Mo picked up the black tea that was no longer piping hot, took a sip, and smacked his lips with a subtle expression, the taste was very good, the high-quality milk did not destroy the flavor of the tea, but blended them well together, not only that, but the taste was also smoother. (And it's sweeter)
"Yes, today's topic should be the selection of our search and rescue team." Elisabeth Laurent put down the porcelain cup in her hand, her expression becoming serious.
On the day the contract came into effect, Alfred went back to Laurent's estate to contact the high-level hybrids they could mobilize, while Elizabeth, Chen Mo and Ange returned to the academy on the roaring "Sleipnier" modified jet to choose a candidate worthy of joining the search and rescue of the ruins.
"Gen Zhisheng, a Japanese, according to the information I have obtained, he is of the blood of the White King."
"Yes, White King, what an amazing word." Ange reminisces about decades ago.
Although it is a half-human, half-dragon monster, but monsters often need feelings, many half-breeds have a strong patriotic heart, such as his old Chinese friend who is bent on slaughtering the dragon that has occupied China for thousands of years, such as an elder Marquis Gambert who single-handedly supported the economic situation in Germany during World War I with a brain with a "heavenly performance", and in the Pacific theater of World War II, there are also mixed-race people from the United States to join them.
These hybrids have abilities beyond ordinary humans, and they are active on the battlefield as sharpshooters, heroic artillerymen, ace pilots, and even far-sighted staff officers, but these American hybrids soon find that they seem to have their own kind among the enemy, and there are also hybrids in the Japanese army!
The secret parties and families in the United States and Europe soon sensed that something was wrong, so the nails lurking in the government offices quickly struck, they either served as political lobbyists, or directly became leftist legislators who fought the main battle, and some chose to start with technology, and many people on the Oak Ridge nuclear weapons development list had dragon blood in their bodies, and our night watchman was not idle at that time, he went to China to participate in the creation of a flying force.
It turns out that the brain is indeed better than the muscle, and perhaps the hybrids sent to the battlefield by the Eight Clans of the Snake Qi can cause more casualties to the army, but there is no doubt that the contribution of the secret party in logistics and technology has completely tilted the balance of war in favor of the United States.
"After the end of the war, I came to Japan in the name of the secret party, preparing to take over the Japanese hybrids, in fact, at that time no one knew how a barren island nation could have come out of so many hybrids, such a large hybrids had never even appeared in our field of vision before, but I quickly got the possible answers."
Ange took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before continuing: "At first, the Japanese half-breeds were completely hostile to the secret party, but I soon found out that the strength of several of their half-breed families was not equal, and some families even had a tendency to decline after the war, so there were more ways to operate. ”
"Win over a group, divide a group, and suppress a group." Chen Mo said.
"You summed it up very well, I think even if you switch to dragon genealogy, you will have a good result." Ange looked relieved: "But while my plan was going well, an assassin suddenly appeared. ”
"Emperor." Chen Mo thought silently in his heart.
"I've never seen a half-breed like that, he's physically inhuman, he's extremely high and powerful, but he's too bulky to attack me." A faint smile hung on the headmaster's face: "The bones of that assassin's body have been dragonized, and he has a thousand bones that can be fused together if necessary!" He was faster and more powerful than I was in normal times, but I still won. ”
"Time Zero, my butler has stressed to me that it is terrible, and when you think about it, it is indeed a miracle." The girl commented
"I had learned a hundred million points of Japanese swordsmanship, and I could guess the identity of the assassin by his bloodline, so I chose to beat him with two wooden knives....... Oh no, it's self-defense. ”
Chen Mo really felt that Ange at that time was very happy to have a sandbag for sparring partners.
"I collected the blood of this half-breed and sent someone to send this sample back to the United States overnight, and most of the tenured professors of the college and the scholars who had secretly hidden it from the secret family all gathered to analyze the blood sample."
"We came to two conclusions, each of which was shocking enough."
"First, the high content of dragon genes in that blood sample is terrifying, far exceeding the so-called 'critical blood limit', although the 'critical blood limit' has long been considered pure nonsense, but that high level is obviously abnormal."
"Second, the genes in the blood are completely different from the genes in the hybrids and dragon gene pools stored by the secret party, and it belongs to the unknown dragon kings except for the earth, water, wind and fire."
"That's the White Emperor."
"This is our original guess, after the establishment of the Japanese branch, the secret party paralyzed the Japanese half-breeds with a weak coat, and various families used various means to obtain relevant information from them, and even directly controlled them."
"In the end, we were sure that it was a group, the White King's blood."
