Chapter 127: The Goettingen Family
Kassel Academy, in the attic of the church bell tower.
The classic 1952 western "High Noon" was playing on old television, and the sheriff Jali Guber walked the streets of a dusty western town with a gun on his shoulder.
The moviegoers were dressed like Jali Guber, with a plaid shirt, a rolled-up hat, cowboy boots, and shiny spurs on the boots. The old guy was lying on the couch like a huge potato, with his feet cocked high and a bottle of beer in his hand.
In front of the sofa was a table, the room was not dim, but there was a candle lit on the table.
"Hey, you really can't think about it again?" Ange sat in the other corner of the sofa, on which was a newspaper on which he always felt that it was not very clean.
"It's all said, don't think about it," the vice principal flicked the brim of his hat, "Flamel is a single line, you don't know, in the words of Chinese martial arts, I have already accepted a closed disciple." β
"Lu Mingfei is an S-class student." Ange argued.
"Don't say he's S-class, even if he's SSS-class, it's useless, that's the rule," the vice-principal said, "You better go and ask and discuss with that little guy in Elton, the Goettingen family doesn't take their alchemy that seriously, and besides, I remember that Elton kid also obtained the title of 'Grandmaster' fifteen years ago, right?" β
"Can Elton's alchemy skills compare to yours?" Ange complained, "Besides, he can't protect himself now, and he can't tell when he will have braids, and last year he passed on his position as a school director to his only granddaughter." β
"Is his 'bone metallization' already so severe?" The vice principal was stunned.
"I heard that I can't move anymore," Ange said, "is it so dangerous for you to engage in alchemy?" A single failed experiment risks putting oneself in a situation of chronic death. β
"That's his stupidity, he actually used his body to do an immature experiment," the vice-chancellor scoffed, "the spirit of exploration is not the spirit of death, and when he dies, I don't know if the Gattuso family will have their eyes on the fat of Gottingen." β
"His granddaughter Charlotte is still very talented, and it is said that she can already refine the 'Star Antimony' on her own," Ange shook his head, "and the GΓΆttingen family are not weak scholars, don't forget that they also have the 'Knights of the Kingdom'." β
"So, the Gotingen family still has a deep background, and it won't be a grievance to let your S-class baby pimple go to learn alchemy from them," the vice principal Tu Poor Dagger saw it, and took the opportunity to refuse Ange's request to let him teach Lu Mingfei, "And I heard that Elton's kid's granddaughter is a big beauty who is not yet an adult, maybe your baby S-class can still hold a beauty?" β
"The people of the Gottingen family should stay away, it's too long-lived," Ange complained, "none of the previous heads of the Gottingen family, as well as the partners of the head of the family, can live to be eighty years old, and many people say that this is a curse of alchemy." β
"! What's the curse? Lao Tzu will live a few more years, and two eighty will be enough," said the vice principal, "The people of the Goettingen family are addicted to food and fun, so they will play themselves in every generation." β
Ange's eyes lit up: "You also said that they are addicted to food, and they can't teach Ming Fei, so you have to come!" β
"I'll change the dishes!" The vice principal said without hesitation.
Ange raised a middle finger.
β¦β¦
Kassel Academy, Rector's Office.
"So, I'm going to study in the family of a school manager?" Lu Mingfei was full of question marks, "And their family is in Europe?" β
"That is, to get off the plane every once in a while," Ange comforted, "and I haven't negotiated with them yet, maybe not only the vice-chancellor doesn't want you, but the GΓΆttingen family doesn't want you either?" β
"You're really comforting." Lu Mingfei said with a vain eye.
"Ahem, this is also something that can't be helped, the patriarch of the Gottingen family has suffered long-term physical damage due to an accident in an alchemy experiment, and needs to recuperate quietly, and even the position of the school director has been passed out," Ange said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to spare energy to teach his students." β
"It doesn't matter if he can't spare his energy," Lu Mingfei said, "just give me a few more books to read." β
With the blessing of words, unless the teacher can reach Tony's level, it doesn't matter if someone teaches him, it is enough to read books and learn by himself.
"Then I'll try to discuss it with them, but don't get your hopes up," Ange sighed, "The Goettingen family is also a school board family, and they have contributed to the entire history of the Secret Party, and their influence is all over the Secret Party, and I can't force them to do anything." β
Of course, if the vice principal is willing to contribute to be a lobbyist, which alchemist would dare not give Tutor Flammel's face?
As for how to get the old lazy thing of the vice principal to contribute......
Ange sipped a cigar in his mouth, his eyes flashing - he remembered that the vice-principal had a son who taught at the school.
"Headmaster, your eyes just now are so treacherous, like a villain, and you still hold a cigar like a villain in the movie." Lu Mingfei complained on the side.
"Ahem," Ange coughed lightly, "aside, how is your control of the Seal of Conquest?" β
"I'm almost proficient." Lu Mingfei Dao.
Nearly half a month has passed since he came to the academy, and the Seal of Conquest has been conquered by him.
During this time, he also proved to Ange that he was "talented" in learning alchemy, so Ange would now try his best to help him find a teacher.
"Okay, then I'll take you to contract that red dragon," Ange said, "it's now sealed in the 'Ice Cellar', and you can't take it out of the Ice Cellar until it's completely under your control." β
"Ice cellar?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Did you freeze it?" β
"No, the ice cellar is not a freezer, but a warehouse, a warehouse where the academy keeps alchemical equipment, dangerous weapons, and precious collections, and that's the most secrecy area in Kassel, and everyone who visits it is strictly secret," Ange explained, "and there is a huge alchemical matrix inside, and all the living dragon specimens are kept in it to avoid harm." Only after the research application made by the investigator is approved, it will be briefly withdrawn. β
Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Then how should we go?" β
"Take the elevator," Ange said, "the ice cellar is deep underground, so it's safe enough." β
"Let's go, principal, let's take the elevator." Lu Ming said expectantly.
"No, the elevator is here." Ange put down his teacup and gently pressed the red button hidden in the drawer.
"Here?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt the chair and the entire floor shake slightly, and then he, Ange, the huge Nanmu desk, and the hot black tea on the table fell into boundless darkness together.
"Holy! Principal: Don't we need to add a guardrail to our elevator? Only then did Lu Mingfei react, the sofa he was sitting on was originally part of the elevator, and this elevator had no walls and ceilings, only the ground, and the ground included half of the office.
"The elevator will automatically wrap around the glass wall, otherwise the two of us will have to be soup chicken next." The cigar butts of the dark Lyon fever flickered and went out.
Soup chicken? What do you mean? Lu Mingfei didn't understand a little.
The floor and table shook again, slowly slowing down, and finally the sinking stopped. Suddenly lit up in all directions, Lu Mingfei raised his head and actually saw a huge hanging head shark.
And it's not just the giant malllet shark, you can see lazy turtles on his left, and bluefin tuna more than two meters long on his right, swimming around his huge school of mackerel at high speed, and everywhere you can see the rippling light and shadow of the water.
"This is our fish tank." Ange explains, "We are now in the underwater passage below the fish tank. β
"Fish...... Fish tank? Lu Mingfei was full of question marks, "Aren't you going to the ice cellar, how can we be in the fish tank?" And why is there a fish tank here? β
The "elevator" suddenly began to move, not up and down, but horizontally, breaking through the encirclement of the mackerel, and the mallet shark and the turtle were very cold to the movement of the glass house, probably accustomed to it.
"The fish tank is fed with all kinds of marine animals, which is the gene pool of the academy, and a large number of genetic samples are needed to study dragons for comparison." "Of course, the fish tank is only part of this underground space, and the ice cellar we are going to is some distance away, and this underground space is very large, almost the same area as the academy above ground. β
"Damn! It's too extravagant. Lu Mingfei was really shocked this time, in his impression, even Tony had never engaged in such a luxurious project.
Of course, he's going to go back and propose to Tony that it must be fun to party in a vast man-made underground space.
"Luxury? But this is a very small facility that all the school directors agree on, and for an organization like the College, this kind of facility is a must, and we have so much to put under the ground. β
"You've never seen those department heads, have you? It's inconceivable that the heads of departments don't show up on campus, but at the Kassel Academy, the real job of the heads of departments is research, and their laboratories are all underground. There's also Norma's mainframe, heavy lab equipment, and even a subway to the outside! Ange proudly said, "This underground space is a fusion of electronic, mechanical, and alchemical technology, and no human can invade it." β
"So...... Dragons can? Lu Mingfei grasped the blind spot.
Ange was stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed, "Dragons haven't invaded yet, but we've found rats here...... I don't know how to climb in. β
"It's not reliable at all!" Lu Mingfei complained.
"There may be dragons that can invade this underground space, but it is impossible to invade the ice cellar," Ange said, "There is an alchemy field created by the vice principal himself in the ice cellar, and with 1,200 tons of mercury solution as the driving force, even if the next generation is in it, it will be difficult for the next generation to move forward. β
"What if it's the first generation?" Lu Mingfei said curiously.
Ange's face was embarrassed: "That should be difficult to stop." β
