Dragon slaying is a business, and the Secret Party is a businessman.
Pompeo's words were a little more straightforward, but he also revealed the essence of the secret party in one word.
No one really thinks that the Secret Party is an idealistic organization bent on slaying dragons, right?
No way, right?
That's too naive.
The Secret Party, this organization that has been fighting dragons for thousands of years, may have had some intention of fighting for their ideals when they were first established, but today, thousands of years later, this ideal has long been abandoned in the torrent of history.
Humans are animals driven by desires, and they will pursue something as long as they live.
As for hybrids, as a race that knows the truth about the world and has dragon blood flowing in their bodies, their desires will be even stronger.
ideal?
Can it be eaten as a meal?
Among you, whose family has risen through ideals?
No one, not one person, not even the Beowulf family, who only slay dragons from beginning to end, would say that their family slays dragons for their ideals.
Only tangible and tangible benefits are their pursuit.
Why do you think they wanted to kill the dragon?
Because slaying the dragon will bring benefits.
Dragon slaying is a good business because whenever someone dies, they leave a legacy, and the same goes for dragons.
Imagine an era when all the dragon kings are transformed into dragon bones and placed in museums in an unknown number of years. Is that era truly for humans?
wrong! Big mistake!
After the dragons are eliminated, the era of hybrids will usher in, and those who inherit the legacy of the dragons will be the new dragons.
Why else would these hybrids want to slay dragons?
To eliminate the tyranny of the Dragon King?
Don't be kidding, the methods of some dragon kings are not even as cruel as the monarchs of human dynasties. Dragons cannibalize each other because they can steal each other's power, while cannibalism among humans is often because humans want to Do this.
Humans are the only creatures that kill their own kind because of their own ideas rather than vested interests.
Now, does anyone still think that dragons are more cruel than humans?
Humans are such selfish beings, and hybrids have inherited the power of dragons and human thinking. They are stronger than humans and more despicable than dragons. How could such a race choose to slay dragons to protect humans?
This reason certainly doesn't make sense.
The correct statement should be that the dragon blocks the way of the hybrid, or the dragon holds the interests that the hybrid desires. This is the most direct reason for the hybrid to kill the dragon.
The blood of dragon flows in the body of every Chinese scholar. When the pure-blooded dragon clan dies, who is most qualified to inherit the dragon clan and become the master of alchemy technology, noble blood and the mysterious world?
Of course a mixed race.
The new dragon clan, yes, at that time, the hybrids will be the new dragon clan.
Maybe many low-level mixed-races don't consider this, but any mixed-race with a little bit of experience can easily think of this fact.
Not just the Secret Party, but also hybrids from the old aristocracy and other forces.
Everyone knows this fact.
It's just that they didn't discuss it openly, because it went against the purpose of the secret party when it was established.
But once the rebels drive away the colonists, shouldn't they become the new consuls?
These mixed-race factions and forces have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. It's not that they really have any deep grudges, it's just that they are competing for interests.
The battlefield of dragon slaying is the business field.
The secret party is a businessman, and the old aristocratic forces headed by Henkel are also businessmen. Dragon slaying is a big business, and whoever wins in this business field will be the future operator of the world.
This is what World War I and World War II were ultimately about.
If all hybrids who kill dragons with similar purposes are compared to businessmen, there is no doubt that
Ask Angers is one of the different ones.
He was a gambler who had infiltrated among businessmen, and was an unstable factor that could detonate at any time. However, the Secret Party not only failed to get rid of him, but instead pushed him to a high position in the Secret Party.
Because in business, occasionally you need to take a gamble.
Angers is a highly skilled gambler who never fails, so many things that require risk are solved by Angers, and then the secret party follows behind to drink soup.
It was supposed to continue like this forever, but the secret party got away with it.
The secret party's original plan was to let Angers gamble. They felt that although Angers was highly skilled, he would always fail. As long as Angers missed, they could justifiably take over the Kassel College founded by Angers.
But what they didn't expect was that Angers, a gambler, was not only highly skilled, but also cautious enough that he had never lost once in so many years.
Not only that, he slowly accumulated achievements and prestige step by step, and became the leader of the secret party.
At this point, the power structure within the Secret Party was eroded by Angers, the voice of the major families was weakened, and a new authority - Kassel Academy was established.
Is this really the case?
No.
The mixed-race family chose to curl up and not confront Angers head-on because they could not see the benefits. There was no benefit in fighting Angers. Although Angers' rise to power would damage their power, it would also bring new benefits.
On the other hand, it is also because Angers is the only top combat force within the Secret Party who can fight the Dragon King with his own strength. The loss of Angers means that the Secret Party will be weaker than other forces in slaying the dragon.
So they chose to let Angers fend for itself and let it run its course.

But now, Angers’ presence has lost its irreplaceability.
Because of Gu Bei, because of the appearance of the stranger.
The emergence of aliens means that hybrids have new enemies besides dragons, and this enemy is not their internal competition, but comes from the outside.
If they could become the dragon clan of the new world after annihilating the dragons before, now if they want to accomplish this goal, they must stand on the opposite side of the aliens.
That's right, as long as the purpose of the hybrid does not change, even if the two sides cooperate to deal with dragons now, they are destined to become opponents in the future.
At this point, someone said, in this case, wouldn't Ange be even more indispensable, because the foreigners have Gu Bei, a top-notch combat power who can kill the Dragon King. If the mixed-race side can handle Ange, then Didn't he eliminate the only chance to fight against the stranger?
No, no.
Putting aside the gap in combat power between the two men, if Angers could really compete with Gu Bei, then the secret party would have to deal with him.
Because Angers is a gambler.
He is an idealist.
Because of the Summer Mourning incident, Angers determined to eliminate dragons and kill all the dragon kings in the world.
The "Dragon King" here refers to not only the "Dragon King" in the real sense, but also refers to all individuals who are superior to others and attempt to control the world.
Yes, Angers' goal is not just as simple as "killing the Dragon King".
What he wants to kill is all the beings who want to become dragons.
This is not Angers' own will, but a desire he inherited from the original Lionheart Society and from Meineke Cassel.
Here in Angers, the dragon slayer who turns into a dragon is treated the same as the dragon.
In this way, Angers' position is not actually on the side of the mixed race.
He only sides with the "Dragon Slayer".
"Judging from the looks of you, you should have understood." Pompey propped up his hands on the table, "We need Hilbert Jean Angers because he has enough ability and value. He can slay the dragon. , can also suppress the ambitions of competitors, but now, his value can no longer support him and he can continue to stay in this position."
"But he is still capable," Laurent felt
As Ange's ally, what should I say now, "Ange's ability is irreplaceable. Without him, we wouldn't even have anyone who can slay the dragon - Gu Bei is not one of ours at all. We still need to spend money to buy the Dragon Bone Cross. After something like this happened, I think everyone should understand what a being who can slay dragons represents. Angers is still irreplaceable."
The members of the school board looked at each other and felt that Laurent's words made sense.
"Oh, yes, ability." Pompeo nodded, "Very well, Ms. Laurent, your statement completely hit the point. We currently have two reasons why we cannot replace Angers."
He spread his hands and actually added a little to Laurent.
"The first lies in Angers' prestige, his reputation, and his intimidation. Hilbert Jean Angers, his name is the most powerful weapon. As long as this name is mentioned, even Henkel will not act rashly. , this name is like a nuclear deterrent between ordinary human countries. Although there is no substantial harm, its existence is indispensable."
"The second is Angers himself. Just as his name can intimidate others, he himself naturally has the corresponding abilities. Otherwise, no one will be afraid of his name. At the same time, he can also complete the dragon slaying."
"And these two points are based on Angers' abilities that are far superior to others."
Pompeii smiled, walked slowly around the long table, and came to the front of the entire conference room.
"Then if we also have the power to slay dragons, wouldn't Angers be irreplaceable?"
Following his words, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suffocated.
Pompeii did not use blood like Beowulf, but his heroic aura was more oppressive than the blood all over Beowulf's body, making it difficult to breathe.
Those like Laurent who can speak are already doing well. The little Lolita on the other side has long been hiding behind her housekeeper and is almost crying. "
The clock in the room was ticking, and the rosary in the monk's hand was also ticking. After a long time, the monk stopped what he was doing: "Pompei, what do you mean..."
"No, no, no, you probably misunderstood me." Pompeo raised a finger and shook it, "The 'Doomsday Sect' is the last resort of the secret party, and they are not completely controllable. At most, they can be used to fight against The nuclear bomb that killed the Dragon King together cannot be pushed forward as a front-stage role. "
"But if the ancestors of the doomsday sect are not used, the power that you said can replace Angers and slay the dragon..."
"What we need is a positive figure who can do it, and the doomsday old antique will not do it." Pompeii shook his head, "But we do have a sharp knife that is sharp enough to slay a dragon."
As he spoke, he patted the curtain behind him. The screen on the projector still stopped at the scene where Chu Zihang took over the Lion Heart Club flag.
Everyone on the school board frowned.
Beowulf said directly: "Pompei, do you think you are having fun teasing us? Who doesn't know that Chu Zihang got the title of Dragon Slayer from Gu Bei? Do you want to let us cooperate with Gu Bei? ?」
The monk also shook his head: "Pompei, that's it for today. You just returned to the United States. Maybe you should take a break instead of just going to the bar every day."
Pompeii raised his eyebrows: "Well... since you don't know the inside story, I don't care if you misunderstand me, so I ask you to calm down and listen to my explanation."

He patted Chu Zihang on the curtain.
"You think I want to use Chu Zihang as a springboard to take advantage of Gu Bei? If you think so, then you are really wrong. Not only did you misjudge me, but you also misjudged Gu Bei."
"Although I have not had direct contact with Gu Bei, through Frost's statement, I have a general idea of what kind of person he is. He is strong and cunning. He obviously has great strength, but he will not give up his conspiracy. This A human being is the most difficult opponent to deal with and the worst partner. As long as the intelligence is even slightly above the level, you will not consider joining forces with him, because that is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."
The monk was really confused this time: "Then you mean..."
"Of course it's our new Lionheart Club president, "Dragon Slayer" Chu Zihang! Pompeii patted the curtain, "Isn't my obvious reminder enough?"
Beowulf laughed and said: "Look, I said his brain is broken. Pompeii, that Chu Zihang is indeed good, but his strength is only the second generation at most. If you want to use him to replace Angers, you still have to It is better to hope that Henkel will bring his people to join us."
Although he was ridiculed by Beowulf, the expression on Pompeii's face did not change at all: "Chu Zihang may not be strong enough, but... what if the Nibelung Plan is added?"
Pompeii looked around: "After purchasing the Dragon Bone Cross from Gu Bei, the secret party gathered all the materials to start the Nibelungen plan. A mixed-blood monarch, using him to replace Angers, should be enough, right?"
"The Nibelungen Plan..." the monk murmured, "This is indeed a method, but unfortunately, Chu Zihang is not on the list of the Nibelungen Plan."
"I know." Pompeo nodded, "Because he is not only a mixed race, but also a stranger, and has a close relationship with Gu Bei, so we can't entrust him with important tasks, even though he seems to be a very useful tool. .”
At this point, Pompeo suddenly changed the topic: "And this is the reason why you support me to become a member of Kassel Academy. I have the method to completely control Chu Zihang."
He took out a black card and slapped it on the table: "Me and the experimental subjects of the Nibelungen Project, the two of us combined, should be enough to replace Angers..."
"Everyone, please vote."
