Chapter five hundred and forty-eight: a piece of history
"Bang!"
A gunshot echoed in the distant woods. Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked outside the manor with a solemn expression.
"The Executive Department has discovered us." Fingel sat in front of Angers' grave with a bottle of water, tilting his head and admiring the sound of gunfire in the distance: "It seems to be the sound of a Colt pistol. Let me tell you, we need to speed up."
Speed."
Fingel has been replaced, and now the one squatting in the pit digging soil is the gray-faced Lu Mingfei.
"Come on, come on," Lu Mingfei said, raising the spoon of soil again: "It is estimated that in a few minutes, we will be able to find the skull of Principal Angers."
As soon as these words came out, Fingel looked a little weird: "If according to you, this guy named Angers is not dead and is still the principal of Cassel, will he blame me for digging his grave when he comes back?"
"Probably not. Principal Angers is a very nice person, so he probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing." Lu Mingfei shrugged, pressed the shovel down into the soil, and suddenly felt some kind of hard object under the soil.
"I've dug it, I've dug it." Lu Mingfei was a little excited and shouted loudly to attract the others. Fingel shook his head and persuaded: "According to the ancient Chinese rituals, do we have to light a candle before opening the coffin?
"
"This is Germany, we don't pay attention to this here." Lu Mingfei said, digging away the floating soil above, revealing what was hidden in the land.
"This, what is this?"
"This coffin is too elegant."
What appeared in front of several people was a hard metal plate. The moonlight shone on the plate, emitting a silvery white light, which also made the four of them look at each other.
Lu Mingfei had thought about what was in Angers's grave, whether it was a corpse or a handful of ashes in a delicate box. The only thing he didn't expect was a metal plate that looked very new.
Fingel jumped down from the tomb, took the shovel from Lu Mingfei's hand, and shoveled away the soil in other locations, revealing the entire metal plate. It was a square cellar door, and it was unknown who guarded it.
"I kind of believe what you said now." Fingel's eyes twitched a few times, he sighed, and said to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei didn't care, brushed off the dust on the cellar door, and after groping on the panel for a while, he found the door's handle.
"Let's go, let's see who is causing trouble in the principal's grave." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and pulled the cellar door hard for a while, but there was no movement.
"What are you..." Elizabeth poked her head out curiously and asked with some confusion.
Fingel grinned, took a step forward, took the doorknob from Lu Mingfei's hand, pulled hard, and opened the cellar door.
The wind blew past the two of them and poured into the cellar. A dull sour smell seeped out from the cellar, making people's scalp numb.
"How many weapons do we still have?" Fingel raised his head and asked the two girls. Ling counted the equipment and immediately replied: "There are also two pistol magazines, three grenades, and they also have a rifle magazine."
"Take them all and be fully armed. You have to find out whether it is a blessing or a curse down there." Lu Mingfei took the weapons handed over by Elizabeth and helped her down to the tomb.
Ling on the side also jumped down, and the four of them were crowded together. Lu Mingfei felt as if he was on an early morning bus, being squeezed one by one by Elizabeth and Ling, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem, I'll be the first to go in, and Fingel will take the lead." Lu Mingfei pushed away Ling in front, stood in front of the cellar, took out the flashlight provided by Huaxia, and held a shield in the other hand, bit by bit.
He walked down to the cellar.
The air in the cellar was cold and thick, and under the light of the flashlight, dust was flying in the light like small insects.
Lu Mingfei frowned and walked down the stairs at the door. The stairs were very narrow and could only accommodate one person. The ground below was hidden in darkness, as if this cement staircase had no end.
With such an uneasy mood, Lu Mingfei walked on the stairs. There were no railings on the stairs, so he had to move forward little by little according to his feet.
Ling, who was behind him, was holding the rifle brought by Lu Mingfei and was responsible for the security work. Behind them, Fingel and Elizabeth looked at the underground facility with leisurely expressions, as if they were on vacation.
After only a few steps of the seemingly endless staircase, he reached the bottom. Lu Mingfei took a flashlight and shined it on the surrounding walls with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face:
"I seem to know who created this place."
On the wall in front of Lu Mingfei, there was a black swastika painted on it, and a black eagle with its wings spread out, standing on top of the swastika.
This is the symbol of the former Axis Powers and the German Third Reich. Among the public, they are generally called:
***.
"So Kassel was once a member of NC?" Lu Mingfei murmured to himself, then shook his head. Kassel died only in 1900, and Germany was still in the Second Empire. Where did NC come from?
Fingel touched his chin. He had been in the academy the longest and liked all kinds of gossip, so he knew some of the rumors.
"I have heard that after the Mourning Moon incident, the bloodlines of mixed-race families in Germany were cut off, and many families simply moved away from this land." Fingel stood at the end of the line, looking at the huge black eagle and the counterattack in front of him.
Swastika said: "Therefore, after the rise of the Third Reich, the influence of the Secret Party in this land was reduced to a minimum."
Germany used to be a reserve for secret party talents. This land full of war and chaos easily gave birth to outstanding talents, and the complex political situation also made it easier for hybrids to hide.
It is precisely because of this that when Angers joined the Camarilla, the Elders of the Camarilla were monopolized by the Germans. The three elders who served as elders were all famous German dragon slayers. As the successor, Meneke Cassel was even more famous in Germany.
The model of the dragon-slaying family.
Then there was a dragon invasion, and all the glory disappeared completely, like gravel blown away by the wind, which will never come back.
Because of this, in the following years, the political center of the Camarilla moved southward, from Germany to France. Then with the rise of Angers, the Camarilla came to the United States.
Germany, which has witnessed the rise of the Camarilla, has become an unnoticed land. The mixed-race people close to the Camarilla have moved away one after another, leaving only those reclusive families wandering here.
As for their subsequent fate, the secret party did not know, but the crazy Third Reich would not let them go.
Those cruel experiments shocked every hybrid who had ever seen them. The Secret Party also joined the Second World War. Under the leadership of Angers, the Secret Party, which was once unwilling to get involved in politics, began to stand on the stage.
, and finally with the end of World War II, the mixed races in Europe were almost unified.
Now, under the witness of several new young people of the 21st century, a piece of dusty history shows them their own auspicious light, which is small but shocking enough.
