"Principal Angers? You came to the dormitory in person to meet a student of mine? What are you doing for me?"
After the party, Sun Haoran originally planned to close the door and have a good sleep, but at this time someone knocked on the door again.
When he opened the door, he saw Hilbert Jean Angers, who seemed to be a little dusty.
After some conversation, Sun Haoran learned that this old man seemed to have worked very hard to witness the fall of Dragon King Norton. He contacted the company overnight to discuss it, and now he came here to convey the results of the conversation to him.
"According to your minister's wishes, our Kassel Academy will be fully responsible for your temporary return to China this time to carry out the crusade against the Lord of Bronze and Fire. As a condition, he will give us permission to operate in the country."
Angers smiled and said, "As you know... there are probably many people in the country who want to cause trouble for you, otherwise you wouldn't have to come to the academy to avoid the limelight, so this is the best solution. You will represent Academy action."
"Does it mean...the minister temporarily handed over the ownership rights of the three of us to the college?" Sun Haoran quickly understood the meaning and asked, "Just to avoid the attacks from the guys on the company's board of directors?"
"Yes." Angers nodded.
"No, no, no... Is there a possibility..." Sun Haoran shook his head in disbelief. Based on his understanding of the minister... would the old guy be afraid of the company's board of directors? It's obviously impossible.
"Forgive me for asking, he asked you to be responsible for the whole process of this crusade... did you also bear the responsibility for the battle damage expenses?"
"Well...this...is indeed..." Angers suddenly became embarrassed when asked this question.
"Hey... I'm just saying..."
Sun Haoran suddenly realized what he said.
His dear minister is not afraid of the guys on the board of directors looking for trouble...it's just "blackmail".
Defeating the Dragon King must be a very expensive thing. Since someone is enthusiastic about giving money, of course the old man has no reason to refuse. After all, these Western aristocrats can't do anything. The only advantage is that they are stupid and have a lot of money.
Presumably, for people here, they only need to spend a small amount of money to witness such a big scene as the death of a dragon king. As a ticket fee, there is simply nothing more valuable.
Both parties can accept it happily. Isn't this a win-win situation?
"Hey... Okay, I almost understand." Sun Haoran shook his head helplessly, indicating acceptance.
He looked at the weather-beaten old man in front of him, and suddenly felt that this old man seemed to be a little pitiful by them.
I think back then this was also a ruthless man who single-handedly slashed through Japan. How did he become so humble?
Hey~ I’m so embarrassed~
(Yue Xiao: It doesn’t matter, let’s do this next time.
Angers: Listen to me and thank you...)
"In that case... please call your two companions and move to the command room."
Seeing Sun Haoran nodding, Ange suggested, "The college has formulated this operation as the "Bronze Plan." The meeting will be held in the command room in two hours. After the meeting, it is best that we can go to the mission location within today. Norton couldn't be given time to breathe. "
"Okay, got it."
Sun Haoran nodded slightly and then saw off the guests.
After Angers left, he glanced at the clock on the wall.
Well, it's only 11 o'clock.
It seemed that Norton's presence could not stop them from thinking about food and dinner. The principal probably knew that they couldn't work until they were full, so he specifically set the time in the afternoon.
"Then take a short break and eat before going to the meeting. This will be just right..."
On the other side, Lu Mingfei's dormitory door was also knocked open.
"hatthefk?"
After learning that he had been designated by the principal to participate in the "Bronze Project", Lu Mingfei couldn't help but swear.
If he knew that the principal had completely opposite attitudes when asking Sun Haoran and when he ordered him, he might shut himself up on the spot. people to people
Why is the gap between them so big?
"What's so surprising about this? Brother Shi, you are the only "S" level in the academy. There is no one more suitable than you to conquer the Dragon King. ” Fingel didn’t seem to agree with this.
"No, no, no... If I remember correctly, I have just entered school now!" Lu Mingfei was going crazy, "And wasn't that monster Sun Haoran taking the lead? It's not my turn..."
"Why……"
Fingel sighed helplessly after hearing this, "This involves the face of the college. You see, this operation is expected to include Caesar and Chu Zihang, a student union president, and a Lionheart Club president. , plus you as an S-class, it can be said to be the most luxurious lineup that the academy can currently produce, and even so...
If you go there, you may only be able to act as spectators.
There is no suspense in the face battle between the college and the company. This is already a destined outcome, so at least... they don't want to lose too ugly, right? "
[In view of the general environment,
"Ah this..." Lu Mingfei felt ashamed after hearing this, "Listen to you...is the academy really so miserable?"
"Nonsense, it's just your academy, plus a few nobles at most. You want to compete with a country?"
Fingel snorted coldly, "To be honest, I don't understand at all whether those old guys are really Lao Hutu... Anyway, Brother Shi, I suggest you just follow the arrangements honestly. The water here is too deep." , it’s best to just do it without asking anything. In addition, you’d better accept the olive branch that the bastard offered you in the morning. It’s actually not bad to have a big hug after graduation. As a senior brother, I can only say this much~”
After saying that, Fingel lifted the quilt over his head as if it was thrown into pieces, and fell asleep. Heavy snoring could be heard almost in the next second.
Looking at Fingel's appearance, the corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.
It seems that he just came here to study... Now, he is slaying dragons, cultivating immortals, and now he is even involved in a face battle between various forces. How come it suddenly becomes so difficult to study well? Woolen cloth?
············
The Three Gorges Reservoir on the Yangtze River was known as "Kuimen" in ancient times.
The cool night rain sprinkled on the flowing river in small pieces, like a thin veil.
Under the cover of darkness and the connection of rain, the sky and the river surface seemed to be connected, and only the deep "black" was left as far as the naked eye could see.
Suddenly, a spark of light lit up in the darkness, as eye-catching as a star suddenly appearing in the sky on a starless night.
But this light is not starlight, but a blazing flame.
The burning human figure defied the rules of physics and walked slowly in the middle of the rapidly flowing river. Every step it took, mist filled the air due to boiling.
Finally, the human figure stopped in the middle of the river.
He looked down at the soles of his feet in silence.
Once upon a time, this place was still a mountain. He once stood on the top of the mountain and overlooked all living beings. He and his brother looked at the "Kuimen" opened like a miraculous work. They once put up a flag here and agreed to make a comeback together.
However, at this moment, everything was as disillusioned as the bubbles formed by raindrops falling on the water.
The burning human figure stretched out his hand toward the water, as if trying to grab the broken bubble, but his fiery hands would only make the bubble disappear faster.
Finally, his hands could grasp nothing.
"..."
The incomprehensible ancient spirit chanted in his mouth, as if calling for something.
But even after a long time, there was still no answer.
This made him know... that he was really alone.
There should be a loyal servant here waiting for his return. He had seen her when he left here.
She knelt down and worshiped him, her eyes full of piety.
It is impossible for the Dragon Warrior to betray. If nothing unexpected happens,
She will definitely be here waiting for his return and answer his call.
but now……
Angry flames bloomed on the river.
The entire river surface seemed to be ignited and began to boil. Countless bubbles continued to rise. The raindrops in the sky were burned up by the angry flames before they could even hit the water.
The fog gradually spread.
And when the fog dissipated, there was no one left in Jiang Xin.
"I'm back……"
Under the water, such a sound sounded in front of the bronze city that looked like broken walls.
············
The reservoir gates were temporarily closed.
The sound of helicopter propellers vibrated in the sky, and the alternating red and blue lights in the distance pierced the thick fog.
Cars took over the entire road and drove slowly.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a thick fog that has risen for unknown reasons. Officials have temporarily blocked tourist attractions to avoid traffic accidents.
But if you look closely, you will find that among these police cars are some express vans with the words "Access Everywhere" printed on them.
"Hey... that old guy Yue Xiao... is really good at summoning people..."
When the helicopter landed, Xu Si opened the door and jumped out. He originally wanted to light a cigarette, but the lighter was not windproof, and the helicopter's propeller did not stop immediately, so it could not be lit.
After trying a few times, he gave up.
The tone was full of helplessness.
"Didn't you say that this time everything was left to the Cassel gang? Why are we still here?"
"Just stop complaining..." Xu San also followed down, with the same wry smile on his face, "It's just for us to bring some people over to maintain order, it's not like we're asked to carry the guys. Besides... It’s not just us who are busy, right?”
As he spoke, he looked at the police cars stopped on the route around him.
The police are beginning to set up a cordon around the area to prevent anyone from entering.
"Yeah, hey..."
Seeing this, Xu Si shook his head helplessly.
On weekdays, the branch office has to avoid these guys when operating. After all, the police maintain order on the surface, and they do jobs that can cause trouble. The two parties only interact with each other tacitly, overtly and covertly. Without interfering with each other's work, how can they act openly and openly like now?
There is probably only one person who can have such great ability to control people on both sides of the spectrum.
"By the way...I heard that the target this time is a "Dragon King"..." Xu San frowned slightly as he looked in the direction of the river.
They have all seen "Dragon" before. The last time they were at Longhu Mountain, if the Heavenly Master hadn't been there, they really wouldn't know how it would have ended.
However, that kind of existence, according to those who know the dragon clan, is just a "second generation species".
So...how powerful is the "Dragon King"?
"Don't you really need us to bring over some equipment?"
"Are you stupid? Do you really think we came here empty-handed?" Xu Si rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Guns, ammunition, ships, alchemy weapons and even "artifacts" have already been deployed. As long as I give the order, they can be used at any time. All in place. But...if you can use it, it’s better not to use it~ Anyway, someone has already been taken advantage of. With all these things in place, our branch will be in the red again this month. If the higher authorities don’t allocate funds, let’s not hold on, do you understand? "
"Ah this..." Xu San's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"Instead of worrying about this..."
As he said that, Xu Si turned his attention to the van parked not far away from them, "You might as well do some psychological work for the children inside and let them cooperate well with the dragons from Sayre Academy. After all, who is coming Guests~ Don’t make the relationship so tense, we can meet each other easily in the future~”
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, Xu Si also set his eyes on the van, with a look of shame on his face.
Cassel College has sent so many elites, so of course it’s not good for the company to say nothing, so
It is appropriate to send some reinforcements.
Of course... the college is responsible for the losses caused by the money used during the mission, and before departure, the minister also said to the friends who had just joined the new department, "Go ahead and do it boldly, and work hard for me." After all, there are not many opportunities for "someone to pay for it".
"By the way...what is the other car?"
After looking away from the car carrying people, Xu San asked again with some doubts.
In his impression, the person who would be useful this time would not be able to fit in two vans.
"Nothing, just some New Year's goods."
Xu Si finally lit up his cigarette and answered nonchalantly.
"Mr. Yue said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is why the children returned to China. He asked me to bring these things over."
"New Year's goods?"
Xu Si was slightly startled when he heard this.
He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch.
"I guess...I've been so busy lately, I even forgot that the Chinese New Year is tomorrow..."
"Don't you remember this?"
"But the Dragon King..."
"Can a lizard be as powerful as the Nian beast?" Xu Si said nonchalantly, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "I don't believe that thing can really shake things up here? Bao'er finally found an excuse to come back to celebrate the New Year. If she dares to disturb her, she will try her best. She was bombarded with firecrackers for a monthly salary without any labor."
"so……"
Xu San felt a little ashamed when he heard this, "The most important reason why that guy Sun Haoran let this thing come back this time..."
"Actually, I want to go home for the New Year."
Xu Si couldn't help but smile, "Is there something wrong here? Old Man Yue can't even find the words to say no..."
"That's right... When you come back at this time, even the company directors are embarrassed to come and make trouble during the Chinese New Year, right? It's so embarrassing..."
Xu San shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
