The mission arrived in Kassel for the fourth day.

Xia Mi slowly opened his eyes, covered in sweat, as if he had just had a nightmare, his memory was still stuck in the last night by Liu Zhen's punch, he was lying on the luxurious big bed, like a curtain-like gauze covering the entire bed, the bed and pillow under him were the most high-end goods, his consciousness was not yet awake, but he also knew that he should not lie on such a luxurious bed and enjoy the treatment of an ancient prince.

A man sat on the side, holding a folding knife in his hand, slowly peeling a pear.

A handsome face that looks old even though she is old, wearing a dark black suit and a red rose on her chest. The old man had silver hair, but his face was as hard as that of a young man, his hands had been eroded by time and looked a little thin, but when he held the pear, he was as steady as if he were holding a gun. He peeled the pear earnestly, as attentive as a priest reading a holy book.

"Angers. Natsumi called out to him softly.

The rector of the Kassel Academy, Angers, is here.

Through the bed veil, he could clearly see the seriousness and seriousness of Ange's expression, this old man should have found that Xia Mi was awake, but he still didn't pay attention to Xia Mi, just peeled the pear. Xia Mi exhaled slowly, and with every breath, he could feel the stuffiness in his chest spread outward, and he felt a little comfortable, but his spirit gradually tensed.

He shouldn't be here.

Knocked down by Liu Zhen's punch, he should be locked in a prison, his whole body is bound by high-level bondage alchemy, and at the same time, his brain should also be probed countless times, he is confident that with human alchemy, he will not open his brain for deep exploration, but if it is only a superficial exploration, they should also know a lot of things...... Say, he's not human.

It's a dragon.

A dragon king.

Dragon King of the Earth and Mountains!

"I thought I was going to be in a cage. Now, Xia Mi is relieved, since he is not locked in a cage and is not bound by alchemy, it means that his identity has not been so completely exposed. If you think about it, it's true, who can believe that the dignified Dragon King was actually knocked down by a human with a punch?

I'm afraid he's being treated like a dragon worshipper, right?" Xia Mi thought to herself.

"Do you want you to be in a cage?" asked the headmaster slowly.

He was still peeling the pear, little by little, the skin of the pear fell out of the headmaster's hand, and it was clear that the headmaster had mastered a very high skill, and his wrist strength changed with the direction of the pear, without impatience or hesitation. The slightest mistake would have caused the pear skin to break, but he did not make any mistakes, his power slowly flowed like a flowing spring, completely controlling this power, like a feminine beauty.

"Of course not, but I didn't expect to live in such a mansion either. "Natsumi admires her surroundings.

There was the sound of running water outside the window, and it was clear that this luxurious building had its own park facilities outside, red blankets spread on the floor, precious landscape paintings hung on the walls, and at the head of the bed there was a small bedside table, red wood, on which alchemy was applied, stable and charming.

"It's a mansion indeed, but it's a pity that the owners here rarely use it. The headmaster sighed.

"Master, aren't you the owner of this mansion?"

"Nope. The principal indifferently denied, "Yes...... Uesugi Yanagi Zhen. ”

This sentence made Xia Mi's heart tremble slightly, and the memory of last night was clearly recalled.

At that time, he really didn't use all his strength, but in a way, except for dragonization, he did go all out. Because he couldn't use Dragonification directly, he used all of his abilities in his human form. He first shook the earth, and the shock wave would change with the structure of the geology, and the earth would crumble and shake continuously, not to mention a human being, even a cockroach would fall. He is the king of the earth and the mountains, and playing with balance is his specialty.

But apparently he failed.

Liu Zhen didn't care about his small movements at all, and when he thought that Liu Zhen would hesitate for a moment because his balance was broken, he created a rock scythe in a very short time to attack, but just as he thought so, Liu Zhen's fist was already imprinted on his face.

“...... I'm so lucky to be able to live in Uesugi Yanagizhen's mansion. Xia Mi sighed.

This is not his nonsense, Uesugi Yanagi Zhengui is the ultimate trump card in the hands of the secret party, no matter what is the best, of course, the material conditions are the same, in this world, as long as the knife in Uesugi Yanagizhen's hand is still facing the dragons, then Uesugi Yanagi Zhen will enjoy all aspects of the secret party's services. Caesar is known as the crown prince of the secret party, and Uesugi Yanagi is even more on it, he is the queen, the proud queen.

And now, Natsumi is lying in Her Majesty's bedroom, of course he will sigh.

"yes, you're so optimistic. The headmaster smiled faintly and placed the peeled pears on a silver plate.

"Optimistic?"

"Truly, this is the most comfortable place to be. The headmaster paused for a moment and continued, "At the same time, it is also the strongest cage, don't you think?"

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted.

"You know everything?"

"What do you mean? Do you mean that you got into the Kassel Academy? Or did you hide the 3E exam? Or did you mean it...... You're the Dragon King?"

Natsumi was silent.

His hand grew stronger, and a low, ancient spirit slowly poured out of his mouth.

The dragon king is exercising his authority, and humans are supposed to submit. It was as if half of the earth was shrouded in the morning of fire at that time, and all mortals felt trembling and terrifying. But Ange didn't have the slightest timidity, but snorted softly.

"Is this good? The first time you went to Odin Hall, you could say that you were curious, but the second time you chose to attack the principal, then even if it was Liu Zhen, I am afraid that you would not be able to keep you. ”

Natsumi's speech was interrupted.

"What did you say? Uesugi Yanagi Zhen protects me?"

"What's so strange that he was that kind of person in the first place, and in his eyes there was no difference between dragons and humans, only between students and teachers. He treats all living creatures equally, including the beasts of the mountains. Last semester, in order to fully exercise Lu Mingfei's potential, he even hired a beast to train him, do you think he is normal?"

"That's not something you can say as a headmaster. ”

"He himself runs around with a psychiatric certificate issued by a psychiatric hospital, so he doesn't care what others say about him. The headmaster smiled and pushed the silver plate to Natsumi's side, "Do you want to eat pears?"

Natsumi was speechless, so she had to pick up the pears and eat them.

"This is your last cage, and you can't leave here until you prove harmless. But I don't think you will feel inconvenient here, after all, this is the best residence that the secret party has prepared for Liu Zhen. Even I don't have such a luxurious place. When you think about it, maybe that's a good thing for you, too. ”

"You say I can't get out of here? is that house arrest?"

"No, it's confinement. The headmaster replied, "Because there is no other place we can be sure of that a living dragon king can be locked up except this place." But of course, there are no alchemy lines of combat performance, no technological monitoring equipment, and even no defenses, so you can go out whenever you want, and you only need one level to face...... That's Uesugi Yanagi Zhen. ”

Hearing this name again, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

I see, no, it should be said that it is.

There is really no cage in this world that can hold him, he is the king of the earth and the mountains, any cage is full of flaws in his eyes, and he is the 'eye' that is proficient in all matter, no matter how strong it is, it only takes a light touch in his eyes to completely shatter it, because what his eyes see is the perfection of all things, the foundation that carries everything.

So alchemy can't keep him in place, so no cage will work for him.

Apart from...... Uesugi Yanagi himself is here.

As long as Uesugi Yanagizhen is here, then this is the most stable prison cell, and if Uesugi Yanagizhen can't defeat him even if Natsumi tries his best, he won't let him go, then he won't be able to go anywhere. Even if he can easily destroy this mansion, even if he can dive underground and escape in a thousandth of a second, even if he has the power to destroy the world...... This is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Uesugi Yanagizhen.

Natsumi had an intuition that as long as Liu Zhen wanted to, he could even end the war between humans and dragons in a short period of time.

"Where did you find the monsters? ”

"I'd prefer you to call him 'Hope.'" The headmaster smiled, "After all, at least he doesn't have a bitter hatred for dragons. You should rejoice in that, otherwise...... I believe that by the time I found him, you dragons had already been wiped out. ”

Natsumi only felt a chill crawl up her brain from her back, as if she had reached the deepest part of the refrigerator in an instant.

He wanted to laugh at Ange's innocence, to tell Ange how powerful the dragon kings were, a height that humans could not reach in any way, to tell Ange that he was so stupid, that humans would eventually be dominated by dragons, and that everything was predestined. But he couldn't say it, because the scene of Uesugi Yanagizhen's punch replayed infinitely in his mind.

He thought back to that punch, if it was a completely open dragon state, would he be able to resist?

The answer gave him the creeps.

No.

Even if he uses the Spirit of Words, he will be interrupted before it can take effect, even if he uses technology, he will be hit first before he swings the scythe, and even if he has already held his breath and concentrated on the defensive battle, it will be broken in that instant. It is precisely because Natsumi is the king of the earth and the mountains who has the ability to see through all "eyes" that he can be sure that he is definitely not the opponent of Uesugi Yanagi. This is different from Konstantin's feeling, if it is Konstantin, he will feel that although Liu Zhen is very strong, it is still the value of the challenge, and if he holds the idea of dying together, he will always overcome. But Xia Mi is different, precisely because he is a dragon king who can accurately measure the strength and weakness of both sides, he can assert that he is definitely not Liu Zhen's opponent.

"It's really, scary. ”

"Yes, I'm always glad that he's not hostile to dragons, but he's not hostile to humans. Ange said.

"Sounds like you don't think he's human. ”

"No, he's human, I'm sure of that. But even human beings are different. Some people are like this, they are born stronger than others, and they are incredibly powerful. There are such human beings in history, but even the famous generals in history may not be as high as Liu Zhen, and they can only be said to be rare talents in the ages. ”

"Your heart is so big that it can accommodate such a monster. ”

"The world has always been threatened by dragons, and the clouds of doom have never dissipated. I think we humans have to have big hearts, don't you think?"

"The weak will be at the mercy of the strong, and it is for you, human. ”

This sentence comes from the dragon king who was pushed off the altar by humans, and it is really inexplicably persuasive. The headmaster laughed.

"Push down the altar?" Natsumi's voice sharpened, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Who? when? The dragon was pushed off the altar? The dragon has been dominating the human ...... It never ended!"

The words finally made Ange retract his smile.

"What are the dragons hiding? Why do you think so much about destroying this planet? Why do you have to come to the end of the world? Obviously, if you want to rule the world, humans are indispensable creatures, and this planet is also an indispensable living space, but you are actively trying to kill humans and destroy the world. Why!?"

"Ignorance is a sin, human being. Xia Mi said in a deep voice: "You don't know anything, you just live in your own dreams. Who can prove when this dream will wake up, who can prove that this dream will go in the direction of perfection? We are all just puppets subject to domination, and all living things are the same. Ange, you're an avenger, but who are you going to take revenge on? To us dragons? To the dragon king who killed your best friend? Or something else? It's ridiculous, Ange, that you wield your folding knife indiscriminately without even knowing that your real enemies know it. ”

"And now I hope I know. Ange stood up and looked down at Natsumi.

"My dream, it's time to end. Natsumi closed her eyes and smiled, "The death knell has sounded, but it will be a celebration of the opening of the door of the world, it will be a beautiful day, the sea will be broken, the great ship of dead man's nails will rise from the bottom of the sea, and the god of death Hela and the undead will stand on the boat, facing the world of the living to vent their resentment." ”

Ragnarok, the end of mythology.

A prophecy from the King of the Mountains and the Earth.

Ange stared at Natsumi, who closed his eyes as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and then turned back and left the room.

Then, another person came in.

Chu Zihang, he brought condolences, saying that the condolences were just a PSP handheld game console, because recently his master suddenly had a strong interest in this thing, forcing their group of apprentices to start playing, visiting Xia Mi should have been a more serious matter, but for a while, Chu Zihang found that he had no experience in visiting girls at all, so he had no choice but to consult Lu Mingfei, who was said to have two crushes with extremely rich theoretical experience.

Then the answer Lu Mingfei gave was to take the PSP to visit the girl, because what the girl wanted at this time was not anything else, but a smile from the person who came over, a gift or something, as long as he didn't get bored. At that time, Chu Zihang was playing Monster Hunter, and he suddenly felt bored at all while playing, so he came over with a brand new PSP.

After Chu Zihang went out, Liu Zhen came in from inside the door.

"It's really one after another, and it's the big boss who came in the end, I'm really honored. Natsumi said.

He was still lying in bed, like a prince. But his expression did not have the softness and docility of a prince at all, but a distorted irony, Ange came to him without taking any advantage, just now Chu Zihang also came, but he didn't say anything about his identity, just said a few words of condolence, and then went out with a hard face, and the man was so stiff until he died, as if he didn't come here to visit the patient, but to complete the task.

"I just wanted to talk to you about something. Liu Zhen said.

"If it's you, I can tell you. ”

"What?"

"The world!"

World.

Guarded by the dragons to this day, it comes from the prophecy of the dragon king.

The dragons are bent on destroying the world, but they shouldn't be like this, because they are also creatures on this planet, and they also need to survive on this planet, they also need their own living space, and they also need their own rights and interests, but they didn't do it. All the dragons are destroying the world, and the dragon king is the best among them, they seem to be born to destroy the world, no one can stop them, and destroying the world is the impulse in their bones.

is like a villain who was born destined to be destroyed.

But they shouldn't be.

They have a splendid civilization, they have their own life and language, they have a life older than humans and a reason to protect the planet more fully. They are indeed outcasts who have been ousted from the altar by humans, but at the same time they are also members of this planet, and they are the apex creatures in biology. Humans have abandoned claws and teeth in order to evolve intelligence, but they don't, they even have more intelligent minds than humans, and they have claws and teeth that humans don't have, they were born at the top of the food chain on this planet, and they shouldn't destroy the world.

Yes, the dragons should not destroy the world, because this world is their backyard, and if they want to, they will overturn human civilization at any time and enjoy the era of the dragons.

But they didn't.

They just want to destroy the world, and they must destroy the world.

All the dragon kings are predicting the destruction of the world, the king of bronze and fire is predicting the fire falling from the sky, the king of the earth and the mountain is predicting the opening of the underworld, the king of the sky and wind is predicting the shattering of space, the king of the sea and water is predicting the flood of Noah, and all the dragon kings are clamoring to destroy the world, without exception.

"The world. Liu Zhen muttered to himself.

"That's right, the world. Ange was not qualified to know, because he was only an avenger, and he was too weak, too weak to be seen. He's just like us, a pathetic doll. But you're different, I can see that you have far more power than I am, and if it's you, I'd tell you. Xia Mi looked at Liu Zhen, "But of course, the premise is that you want to know." ”

Want to know?

Since it's the world, how can it not want to know.

This is the reason why the dragons must destroy the world, this is the reason why the dragons are willing to be hostile to all the creatures on this planet and fulfill their prophecies, which is what the dragons have hidden for tens of thousands of years.

"If I want to know?"

"That's right, I'll tell you if you're willing to know. But of course, it's up to you whether you can withstand the pressure and make the same choice as us. ”

"Listen to your tone, it's like I know that after I know, I'm going to be sick with you and want to destroy the world. ”

"That's right. ”

Natsumi was simply sure.

"If you knew the world, you would destroy the world just like we do. Every wielder of power makes such a choice, without exception. Defend the world? There is no such option!"

"Yes. Liu Zhen said casually, "Then I still don't know." ”

"Huh?" Natsumi was dumbfounded.

"I said I don't want to know, don't say it. ”

"Wait, this is the secret that our dragon clan has watched so far, this is this world! How can anyone not want to know? Don't you wonder why our dragon clan must destroy the world? Why do we want to let all civilizations completely die?" Xia Mi was anxious, "Can't you be more curious? I'm sorry what I said just now may be too serious, and it is possible that you will not destroy the world after hearing this, and it is my speculation to say that you will definitely destroy the world." ”

"Of course I'm curious, but if I knew it would have such serious consequences, I still wouldn't know. Liu Zhen said.

"No, it's not, you're really not thinking about it, don't you think about it?" Xia Mi didn't know how to persuade him.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I might have guessed it. ”

"Guessed!?" Natsumi exclaimed.

"It's a race that can rule the world, but it's bent on destroying the world. There are only a few possible reasons, and if you think about the pride and self-esteem of the dragon clan, there will only be one possibility left. It's not hard to guess, but no one thinks about this possibility, and the hybrids of the past generations have had this hypothesis, but unfortunately, all of those hypotheses are considered nonsense, and even the hybrids who put forward this hypothesis will be amused by their own hypothesis. Something too unthinkable won't even be recognized. Liu Zhen said.

Natsumi was silent.

He slowly got up and slowly opened his eyes, which were burning golden pupils.

"It seems that you are not pretending, but you really know. ”

"Ah, got it. ”

"And what about your choice?"

"Of course...... Long live peace. Liu Zhen said lightly.

"What......!?"

"If it is possible, no one wants to die, death is terrible, and since it is terrible, then it must be avoided. Liu Zhen scratched his head, "You may not believe it, but I have died many times, so I know the horror of death, and I also know the pain before death." I know death better than anyone else, and I fear it more than anyone else. I don't want to die, I don't think any creature wants to die. In that case, what's the point of starting this journey of eternal calamity? ”

"That's not what the strong can say. Xia Mi looked at Liu Zhen with pity, "I thought you were a strong man with high arrogance and self-esteem, but I didn't expect you to be as timid as a mouse." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being timid, and it's because we know what it means to be timid that people want to be strong. That's what I am. ”

"But now you are not weak, but strong. Xia Mi took a deep breath, "Since you are a strong person, you should expose it...... Look at reality directly!"
