Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Seven: Knowing the Earth
Sometimes, it's hard to be an ordinary person, and it's even harder to be an ordinary person in a place like the Gattuso family, where people are not human.
Unfortunately, Andrew is such a mediocre person who was born into the Gattuso family. He was born in the baby boomer after World War II. He graduated from Yale Law School with a J.D. and is the chief legal counsel of the Gattuso family.
This is a qualification that is unattainable for any ordinary person, but Andrew is Gattuso's man, and this experience that is no different from ordinary people is enough for him to be judged as mediocre by his family.
For a family born in the Mafia, the status of legal advisors is no better than toilet paper. Gattuso, who usurped a lot of power from World War II, can easily solve most problems by violating the law. Only those whose families do not want to get their hands dirty
In fact, they would think of Andrew as a piece of toilet paper, and then use it to wipe the floor clean while holding their noses.
Before Andrew came to Kassel College, he had already received a large pile of dirty information about Angers, but his decades of experience in the family told him that these things were nothing but scraps of paper.
If the photos of Anger and beautiful women sunbathing in his hands can be called black material, then Pompeii Gattuso, the patriarch of the Gattuso family, should have stayed in prison until the end of time.
Oh, no, according to the rules of the secret party, it is more likely that a copper peanut caused the problem.
Years of study in law school told him that he was in trouble. This time he went to Cassel College and found out. He would be hated by Angers and Ander. If they couldn't find out, it would be difficult for the patriarch above to explain.
.
There are two ways to solve this situation. One is to completely fall to a certain side. It would be a pleasure to have a selfless Lu Qingtian or become Angers’ father’s dog. The other is to find some people like now.
Put the trivial problems in the report, finish them as soon as possible, and run away. At the same time, tell your superiors that you are not capable enough and ask them to send another person to solve the problem.
In this way, Andrew may receive punishment from his family, but a loyal but incompetent subordinate is always better than a capable but disloyal guy.
As for using Angers' dirty information as the family's cannon fodder, I'm sorry, people who study law are generally more sensible. Andrew thinks that his IQ is okay, and he is not willing to do such a stupid thing.
So, in cooperation with the vice-chancellor, he began to look for small flaws in Kassel College that could be used to make a difference.
"Mr. Night Watchman, look at the table in this conference room. It's a mahogany antique. It's such a waste. I will tell my boss about it."
"This canteen wastes too much food every day, which is very bad."
"The food delivery service and the pool party are not in line with the purpose of the college...What, Master Caesar often uses this service, so that's okay."
In such a large college, there are many small thorns that can be picked out, but Andrew knows that these small quarrels are not enough to make a difference.
His goal has been only one from beginning to end, Dragon Bone Cross.
As the only Dragon Bone Cross with a clear origin obtained by the secret party in these years, this priceless treasure is the focus of everyone. As long as Andrew can pick out a little thorn, it will be enough for him to make a deal.
The two of them are now in an elevator. Andrew is very glad that he didn't eat much at noon. This elevator has obviously undergone some special modifications. Its acceleration is no less than that of a roller coaster in an amusement park. It can not only move up and down, but also back and forth.
It can move left and right, which makes the obese Andrew complain endlessly.
However, the vice-principal on the other side looked as usual. Andrew smiled bitterly and nodded at him. He grabbed the railing on the side and asked casually: "Why didn't you see that boy before?"
"Fingel?" the vice-principal said calmly, "He still has things to do."
Just when the vice-principal said these words, Fingel's voice came from a flesh-colored WeChat headset in the vice-principal's ear: "Master, things are almost done down there."
The vice-principal nodded with satisfaction, and the elevator stopped at the right time. Andrew walked out with swaying steps. As expected of Kassel College, this elevator is different.
In front of him was a somewhat dim corridor, with the light of cold light illuminating the simple road below. The surrounding walls were plain white, and the air exuded a smell that only existed in basements.
It's the smell of air that no one has been here before.
Cold, this was Andrew's first thought. The temperature here was at least ten degrees lower than above. Andrew, who was wearing summer clothes, had goosebumps all over his body. The vice-principal was unaware of it and said politely to Andrew: "This is an ice cellar.
, the most secret place underground in the academy. According to regulations, you have no authority to come here."
"I understand, I understand," Andrew laughed and said, "Don't move around, don't touch around, and don't look away."
The vice-principal nodded with satisfaction and led Andrew forward. The corridor was very quiet, and the vice-principal's leather shoes made a clicking sound when he stepped on it, which was very rhythmic.
At the end of the passage, there is a bronze door. On the door is a strange smiling face, which looks extremely funny. A small bronze snake lies in the corner of the smiling face. The vice-principal pulled out a small dagger from his waist and scratched it.
Blood gushed out from his fingers, and then he smeared the blood on the door.
"This is the gate where the living beings are lodged. It is a measure used by dragon kings to bring down people." The vice-principal introduced. Andrew nodded in confusion. He had never seen such an advanced thing. For a moment, he couldn't say anything except oh.
come out.
The bronze snake retracted from its eye socket, the door trembled a few times, and began to rise upward, revealing what was behind it. Countless statues were placed on both sides of the road, men, women, beasts, and dragons. They stared at Andrew, as if
Just like living.
"Don't look, there are living beings in those statues." The vice principal patted Andrew on the back: "They will only twist your head off."
Andrew calmed down and looked forward. A breathtakingly exquisite work of art stood there. The dragon bone cross was a relic of the powerful Dragon King. It looked like a cross as tall as a person, and its texture looked like ice crystals.
Or diamonds, shining with endless brilliance under the light.
"This is a dragon bone cross, but it looks... a little different from a corpse."
"This is, I used some methods to link it with the alchemy matrix of the academy. Countless powers flow out of it at every moment, and those powers are collected by me and used for research in the academy." Deputy
The principal said proudly.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear this," Andrew opened the notebook in his hand excitedly: "This research still needs to be reported to the school board, but I believe they will not make things difficult for you."
The vice-principal calmly put the dagger in his hand into Andrew's arms: "The self-defense weapon I refined, a little bit of sincerity."
Andrew smiled and crossed out the entries in his notebook: "Oh, don't worry, what you just said, God knows and the earth knows, you are a master of alchemy."
The vice-principal smiled and nodded, but he didn't know that the earth's knowledge was sometimes not just empty words. The earth was sentient.
