Hotel Splendid, Portofino, Italy.

Although it was close to midnight, it was still brightly lit, and a black Royce sedan coiled up the hill into the black iron gate of the hotel, and then stopped in front of a small building.

It was the largest suite of the Splendid, a single building with a relief of white marble on the outer walls, which had been a place of asceticism and introspection in the monastery, facing a cliff with narrow windows like a small fortress.

The building is closed to the public and only receives a few regular guests at a fixed time each year, but today it was close to midnight, when the lights suddenly came on.

When Ange stepped inside, he was somewhat surprised to find that he was the last to arrive, and at the conference table, only the two chairs at the head and end were still empty.

It is a gloomy meeting room with small windows high above it, and it was a place where ancient monks practiced penance.

After glancing around the table at all the people who were saluting him, Ange smiled slightly, and then unceremoniously walked around the table and sat down in the first place.

The Kassel Board of Trustees, the evolution of the former Council of Presbyterians of the Secret Party, sits here with the real highest class of half-breeds, the wielders of power, and Ange is nothing more than their elected executor.

"Alright, can we begin? I'm going to go to the hot springs later. ”

Turning his eyes away from Ange, who was already seated, he reached out and scratched his head, and the middle-aged man in a bathrobe complained in his mouth.

- From his still wet hair and the bathrobe he was wearing, it was not difficult to tell that he had come from the hot springs.

Unlike other school directors who had come from all over the world, he lived on the side of the waves, so among the people present, only his outfit was so casual.

"Hot springs? I'll count me in later. ”

Looking at the middle-aged man, Ange bowed slightly.

"I was busy flying here from Kassel, and I'm tired now."

"No problem, I happen to have two nice bottles there."

The middle-aged man's eyebrows fluttered.

"Ange, you've come just in time, we'll ...... later"

- A sudden cough interrupted his words.

On crutches, an old-looking old man rubbed his hand over the family ring he was wearing.

"We'll talk about it after the gossip, and now we'll get down to business."

Raising his head, the old man looked at Ange with a falcon-like gaze.

"As Headmaster, Ange, should you give us an explanation about this year's Freedom Day?"

"Explain? Didn't you read Flamell's post on the Night's Watch forum? It's been almost three hours since that post was sent. ”

Spreading his hand, Ange looked surprised.

"He should have explained everything that should be explained."

"You know, what we want is never perfunctory."

Staring directly at him, the old man's face was expressionless.

"The crimson canopy, the dragon that appeared on the campus, the miracle of resurrection, the hideous scarab beetle...... What a thing this is, it is not something that can be explained by a simple alchemy product alone. As members of the Board of Trustees, we have the right to know the truth. ”

“…… Well, I'll admit what you said. ”

After a moment of silence, Ange sighed.

"Those things are a collaboration between the thousand-year-old hidden alchemy family in the East and the Kassel Academy, and after [Suspicion], this is another great alchemy creation restored by that family."

As he spoke, Ange took out the documents he had prepared in advance from his briefcase on the side, and then distributed them one by one.

"There is a photo and detailed information of the alchemy item on the document, which is called the [Kunlun Mirror], and its main effect is to cover reality, thus creating a large-scale illusionary realm that is too illusory to fake the real. Although the Phantom Realm will be injured, it will not actually die, which is equivalent to another form of Nibelungen, where dragons and scarabs are simulated after entering reality-related data. ”

While several school trustees were looking down at the documents, Ange patiently explained.

"It's not that I don't want to report this to the school board, it's just that it only arrived at the Kassel Academy today, and then I studied it with Flamel for a long time, so I forgot the time."

"[Kunlun Mirror]...... Is it a creation of the same level as [Suspicion]? ”

After carefully and carefully reading the contents of the document, a young girl who was a little exaggerated, and it seemed that at most sixteen or seventeen years old asked curiously.

The school directors sitting here, each of them have personally experienced the effect of [Doubt] that kind of all-condition adaptation, so for this new alchemy creation, they are quite quick to accept new things.

Although this [Kunlun Mirror] seems to have an outrageous effect, compared with the more outrageous [Suspicion], it is only between the best.

"It's not easy to draw a conclusion, and we'll have to wait for further research from Flamel's side."

Turning to look at the girl, Ange smiled kindly.

"The use of [Kunlun Mirror] is not as simple as [Suspicion], and the scope of application is also limited to half-breeds, if ordinary people die in that illusion, it is likely to usher in real brain death. If you need it, after Flamel has figured out all the functions of the alchemy artifact and made a manual, you can borrow it from Kassel, but when using it, it is best to strictly follow the requirements of the manual. ”

"What about the brand new spirit [Seal]?"

Putting the document back on the table, the old man who spoke first was still sharp.

"Also, about the thousand-year-old hidden alchemy family, the secret party can't find any information, is it possible that it ......?"

"The history of that family is much longer than the history of the secret party, and it is strange to be able to find their information."

Shaking his head slightly, Ange interrupted the old man's words, his tone still calm.

"The other party is a friend and not an enemy, we all stand on a unified position, I finally succeeded in replacing our secret party to obtain the friendship of that thousand-year-old family, I hope that the Gattuso family will not do something unpleasant."

“…… What about [Blocked]? ”

After a moment of silence, the old man asked.

"How do you explain about Mu Qingtong, the A-level freshman who entered this year? In other words, the eldest lady of the Uesugi family of the Japanese Snake Qi Eight Family...... Uesugi orange? ”

"You should know more about her identity."

Leaning back on the arm of his chair, Ange smiled slightly.

"She was not the only survivor of the Nameless Port incident that happened on the Siberian side more than ten years ago, and didn't you take all three of Khorkina's lives? You should have mined enough information from them. ”

As soon as Ange said this, the old man immediately fell silent.

He wanted to use this incident as a breakthrough point, but he didn't expect Ange to admit these generously, and he was a little caught off guard after a set of combos.

According to his intelligence channels, in the past few years, the girl named Mu Qingtong has been living in China, and she is indeed able to match the thousand-year-old alchemy hidden family that Ange said......

He has learned about the culture of China, and he also understands that those hidden families like to make the name of walking in the world, if nothing else, that Mu Qingtong is the contemporary walking of that family.

…… Probably?

"Okay, it seems that everyone should have no objection to this kind of thing, so let's move on to the next topic."

With a slight smile in his mouth, Ange looked away.

"The next topic is about this ...... of freedom in one day"

- The night is getting darker.

ps: Good morning (づ●─●)づ

Give me a few days to adjust......
