The conference hall at Nuovo University suddenly became silent. The old people wearing black bowler hats exchanged glances privately, but no one dared to stand up and raise objections in person.
"Then what should we do? We can't just let this threat go unchecked, right?"
There was silence for a long time, and finally a voice broke the silence.
Conard stood up on crutches and looked at Angers without hesitation.
He was the one who knelt down to the orthodox family leader just now, and now he is the one who proposes to punish the orthodox family.
Conor also doesn't hide his duplicitous and cunning character.
"We really need to guard against orthodoxy, otherwise we will be like the head of the Conal family, who will be beheaded at any time."
The white-haired old man at the head stared at Conor, his words slightly sarcastic.
But the other party obviously would not be offended by such words. He only asked this question for the secret party, and it was a question that most of the senators were concerned with.
The existence of orthodoxy is extremely threatening to the secret party, they are as uncontrollable as a nuclear bomb that can explode at any time.
"I guarantee with my personality and life that if you don't touch the successor of Orthodoxy, Orthodoxy will never be an enemy of the Secret Party."
At the round table meeting, Angers words were enough to move all the elders.
How dare he make such a guarantee for possible future enemies?
If Angers hadn't been extremely senior and had a clear background, the senators here would have almost thought that he was an undercover agent placed in the secret party.
"Now, our task is to slay the dragon. The four monarchs are already in the process of awakening. According to the Mayan prophecies, December 21, 2012 will be the end of the world and the end of the fifth 'Solar Era'."
Before Conard could continue to speak, the topic that Angers was involved in had already firmly grasped the hearts of the secret party elders.
"According to archaeological records, the first four world eras were destroyed by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and hurricanes, which were caused by the awakening of the four dragon monarchs of earth, fire, wind and water respectively."
"I believe none of you want to see the destruction of the Fifth Age."
Angers reached out and pushed the frame of the mirror, while the elders below began to whisper among themselves.
Although they have lived long enough, they are even tired of this world. But no one wants the world to be destroyed and buried under the blazing flames swallowed by the Dragon King.
Conor's face had turned livid at this moment, and looking at the expressions of the elders, one could tell that they were shaken in their hearts. Compared with the consequences of the world's destruction caused by the resurgence of dragons, the possible threat that orthodoxy could pose was greatly weakened.
However, this meeting was clearly convened by him using precious family tokens. However, Ange deceived him into taking control of it with just a few words.
Frost below also underestimated Angers' influence. It can be said that as long as he is still alive, the Gattuso family's control over the secret party will always be restricted.
But they need Angers to serve as the principal of Kassel College and help the mixed race survive the greatest crisis in history.
"Principal Ange, we believe in your character and we are also aware of the dangers of the dragon monarch's awakening."
Finally, someone among the elders below spoke.
Wearing a wide black hood, he sat completely in the shadows. He didn't move even during the orthodox attack just now, as if he was walking out of the darkness.
"Mr. Beowulf!"
All the elders who saw the man showed respect and bowed neatly.
This is an ancient and prominent surname in the mixed race world.
The Beowulf family has always been a firm, cold and powerful dragon slayer. For thousands of years, countless dragons have died under their swords.
Just like the cruel ceremony of selecting healthy babies in ancient Sparta, if the child has congenital disabilities or trembles under the cold water baptism, they will throw the unqualified child into the Apotei Canyon at the foot of Mount Taygetos.
, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Their family adheres to the oldest family motto. Newly born babies are fed a drop of highly poisonous dragon blood. Babies who cannot bear the pain will die painfully in their father's arms, but those who survive are the bravest and strongest.
warrior.
Most of the people in the Beowulf family have a fiery personality, and wielding a battle ax to break through the dragon's chest inlaid with tough scales is as terrifying as a god or demon. After slaying a dragon, they like to soak its blood in wine and drink heavily.
This is a deadly attraction for them.
Therefore, they were dubbed "Bloodthirsty Dragons" by members of the secret party, which not only praised their power, but also implied their madness.
The old man walked out of the dark corner and stepped into the sunshine. He didn't walk fast, but he was extremely calm. His body was not strong, but he was full of strength.
The family name of Beowulf represents extremely high honor in the Secret Party. No one who has inherited the family name from generation to generation has disgraced this honor. Instead, they have made it more and more prosperous with ruthless and efficient methods.
The old man's skin was not the healthy bronze color as imagined, but rather sickly pale. Tiny white scales spread on his slightly red arms, and his body actually appeared to be transformed into a dragon.
However, over thousands of years, the probability of a dead servant appearing in the Beowulf family is very low. Even if there is, it will be cleaned out by the family owner.
There has been a saying in the secret party that if the Beowulf family betrays, then all mankind will no longer have to stick to this meaningless war.
Their determination to slay the dragon was settled after being bathed in dragon blood one after another, and no one could question it.
Even Conor, who was arrogant and domineering at heart, had to have high respect for this old man, even though the Beowulf family gradually disappeared from the public view of mixed-race people as the population decreased.
"So, it's time for us to put the Nibelungen Plan on the agenda."
The old man was completely exposed to the sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and his slightly rosy skin carried a different kind of vitality, completely unlike an old man of Angers's contemporaries.
These words made the gazes of the elders present at the meeting become enthusiastic at the same time. This plan was first proposed by the Night Watchman (Mentor Flamel), and has been suppressed repeatedly by the Secret Party.
To put it bluntly, this plan is to artificially create a super hybrid species to confront the four dragon monarchs head-on.
It combines alchemy technology and biotechnology, using serum purified from dragon blood to awaken the dragon blood in the hybrid body, helping him maintain his self-awareness while breaking through the critical blood limit.
When Ange went to China to make a deal with Li Chengqian, one of the deals he needed was the biotechnology data owned by Zhengtong.
But in actual operations, they still have two difficulties to overcome.
First, the alchemy matrix needs to be implanted into the participants' bodies, and this work is too precise. Alchemy is also a secret of the Flamel family. The conjecture of mass production of super hybrids is basically a failure.
Second, dragon serum that meets the conditions is too rare, because every dragon is cunning and powerful, and is basically difficult to capture.
This has to be the most critical issue. The purpose of the Nibelung Plan is to kill the monarch, but if you want to implement this plan, you must first kill a dragon to obtain the serum.
This is why the elders have repeatedly shelved this plan and even classified it as a fantasy.
"We don't have the serum of the four monarchs."
Angers said immediately.
"I know, but didn't Kassel College just slaughter a second-generation species? You can try the strength of the Nibelung Plan first."
Since Beowulf made this suggestion, he naturally thought of the answer.
This sentence can't help but make the elders feel refreshed. After burning life, you can forcibly use the second generation of the world-destroying word spirit Zhulong. Its strength is not much worse than that of the four monarchs, right?
This is the best material currently available to the secret party, and may also be the only feasible material.
After all, if the four great monarchs really appeared, let alone using their blood for experiments, the world would be destroyed the next day.
"That red dragon is doable."
Hearing Beowulf's suggestion, Angers, who had always been independent, nodded slowly. In terms of his will to slay dragons, he was not weaker than the "Bloodthirsty Dragon Hunter".
He also knew how tough the dragons who were immortalized by a Philosopher's Stone really were.
"So, who should be chosen as the executor of the Nibelungen Plan?"
Of course Angers knew the reason why the elders below were breathing slightly. Even though they were all over the age limit and weak in physical fitness, there were still juniors and young people of the right age in their families.
The elders looked at each other in confusion, knowing that Angers might already have a candidate in mind, and now they were just offering advice.
But they are still ready to make a move. Even if Anger has a candidate in mind, they have to go through their group of elders to decide whether it is suitable.
As for Beowulf who raised this topic, he fell silent. Their family's tradition of feeding babies dragon blood was cruel and cold. It can be said that it was the prototype of the Nibelung Plan.
But it was also because of this family motto that the young people of the Beowulf family became deadpools or died on the spot because they could not resist the erosion of dragon blood, which also caused faults in this glorious family.
In fact, their family simply cannot recommend a suitable young man.
As for Conor, his eyes became greedy and fiery. If this technology was mature enough, maybe he could benefit from it and extend the life of this aging body.
"I think Gattuso's Caesar is pretty good. He can take on this important task."
Suddenly, a senator spoke up at the table, supporting Caesar Gattuso.
Frost just raised his eyebrows and didn't say a word. He was just a little concerned about the "not bad" sentence.
The Caesar of their family has been trained according to the standards of ancient Roman emperors since he was a child. Now that we have a democratic republic, he must be the next generation of Italian president.
His talents in mathematics, horse riding and fencing have always been extraordinary, and his movements also show the nobility of an emperor. Except for the rebelliousness of the young man and his disobedient character, everything else is very popular with the elders of the Gattuso family.
satisfy.
The other senators also nodded in agreement. They all knew about Caesar and had watched him grow up. They really could not find any reason to object to this proud, confident but capable young man.
"I heard that a freshman in your college named Chu Zihang also performed well and is now the president of the Lion Heart Club."
Beowulf spoke again at this moment, and it seemed that he was not so in favor of Caesar becoming the executor of this plan.
But judging from his standpoint, it seems to be consistent. After all, his family and the Gattuso family have political disagreements. Beowulf doesn't like their businessman-like shrewdness and ambition that doesn't match their morals. He looks down on those who hide in dormancy.
The coward lingering in the cabin.
Even now, after several generations of wealth accumulation, the Gattuso family has become a large family with rich assets. It is even more prosperous than the declining Beowulf family.
Frost's face couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he had to respect this old man who had made outstanding contributions to the cause of dragon slaying, so he turned his attention to Angers, who was in the first place, and looked forward to his statement.
The elegant old gentleman with a bright red rose pinned to his suit chest slowly shook his head. This was really unexpected.
"Chu Zihang is an excellent student. He has a cold personality and efficient actions. He will definitely become a sharp knife in the execution department in the future."
Angers did not hesitate to tell the elders how outstanding the students who came out of Kassel College were.
But Beowulf still listened expressionlessly, without any trouble. He could have become the head of the execution department, and Schneider could only act as his deputy.
But it was because of Angers' academic philosophy of education and their family's belief that the strong are respected for thousands of years that a true dragon slayer must go through the baptism of blood and fire.
Ser, remained in the Secret Party as a senator.
"But his speech spirit is the high-risk Junyan. I believe no one can predict what he will become with the strengthening of the Nibelungs."
Angers words completely extinguished the senators' idea of ​​supporting Beowulf's proposal.
Students with unstable bloodlines are basically excluded from this plan. If his physical condition changes due to the stimulation of dragon serum, the consequences will be immeasurable, and the current secret party cannot bear the loss.
In this regard, having a small but stable Caesar like Kotaku Kamamaitachi turns his disadvantage into an advantage.
"So Caesar is the first executor of this plan?"
An elder asked again.
But Ange slowly shook his head again, and everyone's expressions changed.
"Could it be that you want that young man named Li Longyuan to carry this plan? We do not deny his excellence, but don't forget that he comes from an orthodox background and may become our strongest opponent in the future."
Frost finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and shouted.
The benefits of this plan are obvious to all, and no senator has the courage to entrust his family's wealth to an orthodox heir.
"But don't forget, Frost, he killed that second generation."
Angers still had a faint smile on his face, looking at the man through rimless glasses with majestic eyes like a lion.
"Besides, when this plan matures, the serum of that red dragon can be used to transform two to three people. We have no reason to exclude him."
Angers' well-founded words left Frost speechless.
"Then the next candidates are, except Li Yongyuan."
The middle-aged man had to ask from another angle. He had to fight for a place for his family.
Nowadays, the Gattuso family does not lack money or power. They only need a powerful leader to rule and have the right to speak within the secret party.
The benefits that the Nibelungen Plan brought to Caesar were nothing short of the most important part.
