Chapter Sixteen: The Calm Before the Storm

In the early morning, the sun shines on the sea, and the giant ship sails smoothly on the sea just like yesterday.

It's like nothing happened the past few days.

No one knew about the battle that night, and everyone slept deeply that night.

The next day, those who woke up saw several large holes and scorch marks spreading like spider webs on the deck.

The tourists on the passenger ship talked a lot and finally came to the conclusion:

The thunder last night was so strong.

This story later became more and more strange as people spread it. Finally, an American wrote a story based on this, called:

"Thor and Titanic"

It's a pity that the book was sold out, otherwise you would definitely be able to see the movie version of it on P*.

Angers recovered his body after the violent bloodshed. Although he didn't know the reason for this, Angers still breathed a sigh of relief.

Since that night's attack, the mastermind has never been seen again.

Ender thought he might have been frightened by his own heroic appearance.

But Ange knew that the group of dead waiters who almost killed him before were just small gifts sent by him.

"How did you know?"

After Angers came to his judgment, Ander asked him.

"Patterns, they all have very hidden patterns on their bodies."

The secret party has its own set of code words, and Friedrich, who was sent to China, was good at using code words.

Thanks to the excellent memory of hybrids, Friedrich was able to remember tens of thousands of different patterns and their meanings.

These code words are used to convey important messages.

And every time he sent a secret letter, Angers had to flip through a thick dictionary and translate the meaning of the letter with his friend Cassel among the ghost-like characters.

During the battle, Angers used the light of lightning to see the pattern that was only the size of a fingernail.

It was a circle with an X in the middle, and a horizontal line underneath the circle.

Angers knows that symbol

The symbol means

"Gift"

Ange knew that these dead waiters were just small gifts from the people behind the scenes. When he got to China, there would be many more gifts waiting for him.

But Ender had a different attitude towards this.

"It sounds like the mastermind behind the scenes is not very smart and doesn't understand the essence of eradicating the roots."

"How to say?"

Angers asked

Ander loosened the buttons at his collar and explained:

"You don't want to find a way to kill us, but you still let your subordinates die one after another and weaken yourself. Isn't this a mental problem?"

"He is a gentleman."

Angers made a joke.

"I never knew you could make fun of yourself."

Angers is from China, and he behaves like a steady gentleman on weekdays.

"This is humorous."

"Neither of these two words should go together."

Ender was as good at telling Korean jokes as a Gaul, perhaps because of the special training he received in Germany.

Angers was reluctant to talk about his sense of humor as a Chinese, so he quietly changed the subject.

"We are about to dock."

Ender was a little confused. What happened to the shore?

"You are now a Qing national..."

"so what?"

Ender asked rhetorically.

"You need some necessary disguise."

A strong sense of crisis emerged in Ander's heart, and he seemed to understand what Angers meant.

"Don't tell me to..."

Anger nodded, ignored Ender's howl, walked to the box next to him and took out a short, thick black strip.

"You have to wear this braid..."

Angers had a mischievous smile on his face.

"Don't even think about it!"

A few minutes later

A short, thick braid flew out of the cabin window, flew across the sky, and fell into the sea with a splash.

In the chaos of the cabin, Ender stood in the room, loudly protesting Angers' offense to him.

"I'm telling you, even if I were to eat a hundred Deadpools, I wouldn't put a pig's tail on the back of my head."

Ange was a little helpless. Lu Shanyan was a revolutionary, and he also had a braid on the back of his head.

At this time, Angers still didn't understand how humiliating this pig tail was to Ander, so he could only advise:

"But in the Qing Dynasty, not having braids was too conspicuous, and there would be a lot of trouble."

But Angers forgot one thing, Ander was not afraid of such a small trouble.

"Then use magic to solve it. I am a dragon. Do I still need to be timid?"

"Then the Qing Dynasty is also a dragon. Lu Shanyan's biggest dream is to slay this dragon."

Angers argued

"Tch..., this pseudo-dragon doesn't have a few more years to live."

Ender, who was familiar with history, dismissed Angers' statement.

The two argued for a while, and Angers finally gave up the idea of ​​letting Ander wear braids.

Putting away the desks and chairs that had been messed up just now, the daily teaching session began.

As a warlock, although casting spells depends entirely on talent, and whether you can learn a spell depends entirely on whether your ancestors gave you food or not, you still need to know some necessary knowledge.

So these days Ander has been trying to teach Angers some necessary knowledge.

"The last chapter of the book said that the goddess of magic Mystra transformed into a magic net, and from then on all laws were unified, and the ultimate heavenly power..."

Ender tells strange historical stories in the tone of a storyteller and popularizes some common sense in his world.

Although the idioms he used were not standardized and the history he told was not necessarily accurate, the customs and customs of the other world really opened Angers' eyes.

"I never thought there would be a world where dragons and humans coexist."

Angers sighed.

"Aren't dragons and humans coexisting in your world?"

Ender reminds Angers that there are more than just humans in this world.

"You should know what I mean, I mean peaceful coexistence."

Ender listened to Angers words and shook his head.

"You have to know that in my world, even good dragons are not entirely for the good of human beings, but more to satisfy their own inner desires."

For some metal dragons, they will think that they are born noble and should become the protectors of humans.

There are also some metal dragons who will become the ruler of a country because of wealth or power.

To humans, good dragons are not kind, but the way they satisfy their desires is more in line with human values.

Ender gave an example of his own race.

"You have to know that my compatriots all have an uncontrollable desire to communicate, but they just treat those intelligent creatures as wooden stumps and tree holes, repeating the rubbish they read from books over and over again."

Angers was a little surprised by Ander's frankness and asked instead

"What about you? What's different about you?"

"I will think about it and reread the trash talk I saw back then over and over again."

"It doesn't sound any different."

Ender shook his finger in protest.

"No, no, no, it makes me look more educated than those guys."

Angers laughed out loud

"You are also very good at making fun of yourself."

"Yeah, so I became a bard, and those dragons thought I was crazy."

Ander told the story, and Ange listened quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility...

The calm before the storm.
