Splendid Hotel, Special Suites.

"We wish you a pleasant stay, and no one will disturb you unless you are summoned or urgent in your suite." Outside the door of the suite, the attendant bowed slightly and closed the door.

Jiang Shouyun put the suitcase aside and walked into the well-decorated living room of this suite.

This is the more than 100-square-meter suite of the Splendid Hotel, and when you walk through the door, you will find a living room that is spacious enough to play ghosts.

A Steinway piano lies by the floor-to-ceiling window, its black and white keys illuminated golden by the afternoon sun.

Ding~Ding~

Jiang Shouyun walked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the sea view in the pale red sunset.

It's not too late, and many men and women are dressed in cool clothes and playing barefoot on the beach.

People look like ants scurrying under their feet, their shadows hitting the sand with the warm light.

The luxury cars in the parking lot left one after another and slowly drove down the mountain road at a steady speed.

Only the middle-aged man in the yellow tracksuit, who was riding a bicycle one after another, did not look like one of the powers of the meeting at all, but more like a member of the cycling association who had strayed into this place.

"Should you say that you are a rich man?" Jiang Shouyun casually played a few syllables on the piano and said with a smile, "All kinds of strange-shaped demons and monsters." ”

"I thought you'd just hack those demons to death." I don't know when, Ange sat on the sofa in the living room, and the silver Kaschie lighter lit a cigar at the corner of his mouth.

"In the eyes of the principal, do I look like a reckless and willful person?" Jiang Shouyun withdrew his fingers from playing the piano and turned his head to look at the old thing behind him.

"I just think you're the age of your flesh and blood."

Ange smiled and appreciated, "They've made a ...... to exploit your weakness Oh, the scales, the pressure is on the way to compromise and compromise, but your performance is out of their hands and discourages them. ”

"A bunch of insatiable guys, as you said when you came, are just three axes." Jiang Shouyun sat on the sofa and joked, "However, this part of seduction ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old thing blinking, and Jiang Shouyun was speechless.

"Do you want to say that Elisabeth Laurent is ...... Right? ”

"A girl of your age, whose father died in a plane crash due to political conspiracy, was forcibly put in the position of the head of the family, walking on thin ice without any support, isn't it the most suitable candidate for marriage?"

Ange smiled and said, "You can legally inherit everything from the Laurent family as a son-in-law, and the next time you meet Frost, you can make him so angry that he vomits blood." ”

"The most important thing is that she is curious about you, and her curiosity about the opposite sex is often the beginning of a girl's fall."

The rogue aura in Ange's bones is undoubtedly revealed.

"But I'm not curious about her."

Jiang Shouyun glanced at the old guy and said angrily: "I always thought that the way you looked at her was like a grandfather looking at his precious granddaughter, but now you are more like pushing her into the fire pit." ”

"Are you a fire pit?" Ange said lightly, "It is precisely because I regard Lisa as my granddaughter that I hope she can get married to you, a treasure that I fancie, in the old Chinese saying, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

Jiang Shouyun naturally understood the meaning of Ange's words.

Sooner or later, the Laurent family will have to make a move against the Gattuso family, and he can play a leading role in it, and closer ties will bring more lucrative benefits.

Even if he raised a few canaries outside, Elizabeth and even Laurent didn't care, after all, the aristocratic circle has always been very open.

But he had no interest in this power game.

The girl dressed in black was like a blooming rose, and her soft stamens were wrapped in layers of thorns and petals, and if you wanted to pick up that beautiful rose, she would inevitably be stinged by thorns.

Even if Jiang Shouyun had the ability to do it, he had no interest in doing it.

"You're a rare half-breed infatuated species." Ange saw Jiang Shouyun's refusal, shook his head and smiled, "Then this topic will stop here for the time being." ”

"Do you have any thoughts on the Yangtze River's suspected discovery of White Emperor City?"

Ange changed his words and brought the topic to business, and the helplessness on Jiang Shouyun's face dissipated.

"Have you already determined the location of White Emperor City?"

"There is a high probability that it can be determined that it is in the range from Qutang Gorge to the Three Gorges Dam." Ange spread his hands.

"That's a bit of a hassle." Jiang Shouyun poured a glass of water and said indifferently, "Any military action against the Three Gorges Dam will be recognized as a nuclear strike by our country." ”

If weapons of mass destruction are used near the Three Gorges, it is simply messing around under the noses of China's official forces.

No matter how domineering the style of the secret party in Europe is, it is impossible to bear such immeasurable consequences.

"Don't underestimate the Secret Party's determination to kill the Dragon King." Ange suddenly interrupted Jiang Shouyun's thoughts, and said with deep meaning in his tone: "It's not just for profit and prestige, it's actually for gaining power. ”

"For example?" Jiang Shouyun asked.

"The Nibelungen Project." Ange said.

The Nibelungen, which is the "land of the dead" in Norse mythology, means "country of fog" in Norse mythology.

In Wagner's famous opera The Ring of the Nibelungen, the ring named after it represents power, and whoever holds it will control the world.

"The Nibelungen Plan has been drafted since the beginning of the Secret Party, and it is a treasure that has been passed down through countless generations, just like you."

"Now that the awakening of the Dragon King is imminent, we can no longer remain indifferent, we must select the best bloodline from among the candidates with excellent bloodlines, and devote all our efforts to cultivating him to become his Dragon King's mortal enemy......"

Speaking of this, Ange paused and said softly, "And, Savior of the world, the half-blood monarch. ”

"Project Nibelungen is a bloodline refining technique?" Jiang Shouyun instantly understood what Ange meant, "Is there any difference with the Lionheart's Violent Blood Technique?" ”

In the cognition of most half-bloods, the essence of the dragon's strength is bloodline, and only with a stronger bloodline can it become the dragon's mortal enemy.

It is impossible to hone technology and learn skills, and if you really want to cross that threshold, you can only start from the bloodline.

"There is a fundamental difference between the two technologies, the bloodstorm is too dangerous, and the Nibelungen Project has long matured, combining advanced alchemy technology with modern biotechnology."

"You're the best kid I've ever seen, but you're not at the point where you're going to face the Dragon King head-on, so you'll need more power."

Ange shook his head and said softly: "The Nibelungen Project can allow you to break through the critical blood limit, without losing the sanity that belongs to humans, and achieve pure-blood power with half-blood, and even have the power to surpass the four great monarchs." ”

“…… Have you ever fought a dragon king? Jiang Shouyun looked at Ange faintly and asked, "How powerful is the Dragon King?" ”

"Not a battle, to be exact." Ange rubbed his palm and said lightly, "I didn't even see if it made a move, and I was already in a near-death coma. ”

This made Jiang Shouyun a little surprised.

Ange is undoubtedly the best among the half-bloods, and Jiang Shouyun feels that with his current state, it is difficult to kill Ange if he does not use his hole cards, especially after knowing the existence of Violent Blood.

Is such a guy so vulnerable in front of the Dragon King?

Jiang Shouyun fell into thought, and after a long time, he suddenly chuckled.

"It seems that the Dragon King is stronger than I expected."

Come to think of it.

For thousands of years, on the throne, the four monarchs have never changed.

It can even be said that their figures are everywhere in human history, and their shadows are like miracles that have been praised by mankind.

They are history, they are legends.

To swing a sword at them is to swing a sword at the gods and legends.

Even the "pseudo-god" wearing the mask of a god on the elevated road is far beyond human cognition, and what is truly named "god" must have the power to turn the world upside down and destroy everything.

"So to speak." Jiang Shouyun looked up at Ange who was smiling in front of him, "The reason why this plan can't be implemented is because of the Dragon King?" ”

"If you want to complete the bloodline transformation, you need to extract the serum from at least the first generation." Ange shrugged his shoulders, "You can't come to the door with a fruit basket and ask someone to donate bone marrow to us, right?" ”

Jiang Shouyun smiled lightly, undeniably this, and asked, "Is this the resolution of the school council?" What do they want? ”

"You weren't the first candidate for the Nibelungen Project, because some people don't think you're 'loyal' enough."

Ange's face had a little more smile: "But you are about to hack some people to death, and now under the power of the Laurent family and me, you can naturally squeeze out the original candidate for the position." ”

"As for the ...... they want"

Ange looked at the red cloud by the window, and his smile faded a little: "The cultivation of the half-blood monarch is just the beginning of the Nibelungen project, and what they care about is the development and research of serum derivatives...... Like, the elixir of life? ”

"In their words, the half-bloods put an end to the rule of the dragons, and after that, the half-bloods will be the best race in the world, far better than pure humans, and there will be nothing to compete with the half-bloods."

"There are many mysterious powers in the dragon civilization that cannot be discovered by human science and technology, and extracting serum to create super hybrids is just overkill."

"If the Nibelungen Project succeeds, they will be able to usher in a new era, like the Age of Discovery, like the Industrial Revolution, which is the age of hybrids, and the world will be rewritten."

"And you, you will be the leader among them, and you will be the ...... of the new era Half-Blood Monarch. ”

Ange imitates the tone vividly, like a poet singing about a better future, and there is a faint temptation in his voice.

It was as if the serpent in the Garden of Eden said to Adam and Eve, "Eat of the tree, and you will be equal to God." ”

And Jiang Shouyun's expression is gradually changing.

After a few seconds, he really couldn't hold back, lowered his head, and shrugged his shoulders.

Sometimes, he really felt that the old things were like some children in a fantasy.

Like Christopher Columbus's discovery of the New World and the beginning of the Age of Discovery?

The Age of Discovery created a triangular trade, and if a new "continent" is discovered again, who will become a new black slave at that time?

If those guys can really do everything they fantasize about, then the whole world will be in war like never before.

The two sides of the war are the new humanity and the old humanity.

The new humans with bloodlines will see the old humans as the ones who are eliminated, and if they don't slaughter all the dragons before then, the civil war between the humans will be enough to destroy the world before it happens.

Jiang Shouyun didn't know how arrogant the Dragon King was, but he knew that the greed of the half-breed was even worse than arrogance.

"Looks like you don't really like this gift that would drive any half-breed crazy."

The frenzy on Ange's face faded, and he looked at Jiang Shouyun and said with a smile: "If they see your performance, they will definitely think that you don't know what to do." ”

In fact, he also thought it was ridiculous.

But he had already laughed.

laughed louder than Jiang Shouyun.

“…… Suddenly I felt a little bored. Jiang Shouyun also put away his smile and said expressionlessly, "Can we go back now?" There is nothing worth wasting time here except for the view. ”

"Speaking of which, it's almost winter vacation." Ange exhaled a puff of smoke and asked quietly, "Do you want to accompany me, an old man, at the academy for the 'New Year'?" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Shouyun's expression became alert, "No, I think I should go home for the New Year, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Hearing this, Ange was not disappointed in the slightest, but clapped his hands and smiled, "I have something very interesting to tell you. ”

"The word 'interesting' always feels like nothing good comes out of your mouth." Jiang Shouyun squinted his eyes, lifted the luggage on the side and wanted to run.

But before he could get up, he heard Ange cough lightly.

"In the last month, in a coastal city in China, Norma has noticed that someone has been searching for information about the Kassel Academy."

“…… Coastal city? Jiang Shouyun's footsteps paused.

"If my memory hadn't faded, that city would have been your hometown."

Ange raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Although the other party seems to have been cautious to the point of fear, Norma still captured his IP address. ”

"It's a school computer room in that city called 'Shilan Middle School.'"

Hearing this, Jiang Shouyun frowned.

I don't know why, the first thing that came to his mind was the panda head with drooping eyebrows.

"Do you have any idea who it is?" Ange asked coldly.

"Nope." Jiang Shouyun's face remained unchanged, and he said, "But my headshot is still hanging on the wall of the school, and the five big characters of the Kassel Academy are obvious below, is it possible that someone is interested in looking for relevant information on the Internet after seeing it?" ”

"Norma naturally considers this possibility, and she can accurately filter and target those IPs that are purposeful, targeted, and sustainable according to the algorithm."

Ange smiled and said, "Although this kind of thing should be handed over to the admissions office, I still think it is more suitable to hand it over to you, a local." ”

“…… Shouldn't be like that, right? Jiang Shouyun raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything else you want me to do during the holidays?" ”

"Don't call me like a capitalist who exploits child labor." Ange shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "Well, remember that 'smiley face' you killed on the YAMAL icebreaker?" We found out that the coastal city may have members of the same organization as her. ”
