Ender and Angers sat opposite each other in the cave, in front of them was a table that looked quite old.
A lamp sat on the table, illuminating the wrinkled canvas surrounding it.
"I thought you would build the teaching building first."
"No, we need to build a warehouse first to store school supplies."
"So you hollowed out a mountain?"
"My school deserves the best."
Ender chatted with Angers and looked at the three items placed on the table: a tube of black blood, a half-broken flesh ball and a yellow gem.
These were the three substances that Ender separated from the third-generation species. As Cassel College began to be constructed, Angers and Ender finally found time to have a good talk.
"So, you haven't told me what these three things are for."
Angers picked up the yellow gem. He knew that it was the spirit spirit separated by Ander using a special magic circle, but Ender preferred to call it "authority".
"What you hold in your hand is authority, which represents the spirit of speech used by the dragon clan."
Ender picked up the tube of black blood, shook it, and then said:
"This is the blood of the dragon clan, which has great power."
Putting down the blood, he pointed at the glass cylinder and continued:
"This is a special organ that I separated from the dragon's cocoon. It is made of pure human cells."
Ender snatched the yellow gem from Ange's hand and put the three items together.
"The magical spirit represents divinity"
Ender pointed to the yellow gem.
"A strong body represents animal nature"
Ender tapped the test tube containing the black blood.
"Charming wisdom represents human nature"
Ender put his hand over the cylinder.
"Divine nature, animal nature, and human nature are combined to form a so-called dragon."
Drawing an arc with his fingers to frame the three objects together, Ender expressed his conclusion.
"I've been wondering where the dragons in your world came from."
"Created by the Black King Nidhogg."
Angers was very familiar with the history of the Dragon Clan and immediately answered the question without thinking.
"Nuwa needed soil and water to create humans, so what did the Black King use?"
Angers was speechless for a moment. Who can explain the myth clearly?
"Now I understand that the Black King used humans to create these pseudo-dragons."
"Do you know anything about computers?"
Now that there are computers, Angers naturally knows about this huge machine, and he plans to set up one here for research.
"I have reason to believe that the Black King used humans as the brains of those dragons, added powerful bodies and authority, and finally created pseudo-dragons, just like the robots that use computers to think in science fiction novels."
Ender seemed to be in high spirits and gave his answer without hesitation.
"This explains why the dragons in your world are so strange, because most of them are just weapons and are puppets of the Black King."
Angers frowned, thinking about the information Ander said, and was keenly aware of a problem.
"What about the four great monarchs?"
"I have a guess about the rebellion of the four monarchs."
Ender made an expanding gesture with his hands and continued his explanation.
"The four monarchs have greater authority and stronger bodies. If you want to achieve balance, you need more humanity."
Patting the glass cylinder, Ander showed a playful smile.
"Then the human brain in the four kings is very likely to be complete, and there may even be a human being inside."
"That's why they betrayed. This is not the nature of dragons, but the bad roots of human beings."
Angers listened to Ander's story and suddenly remembered the story in the Bible. Eve ate the forbidden fruit containing wisdom and was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. So was the rebellion of the four monarchs also because of eating the fruit of wisdom?
"That's all I can think of. It's better to leave the rest to professionals."
Ander handed the cylinder to Angers, who took out a suitcase from under his feet, placed the cylinder in the foam inside the suitcase, and locked it carefully.
Regardless of whether Ender's conclusion is right or wrong, Angers must cherish this hard-won opportunity. This may be the closest human beings get to those dragons.
"Have the things I asked for been delivered?"
Seeing Angers putting things away, Ander began to care about other things.
Now China's affairs can come to an end for the time being. With his help, the Volunteer Army has become stronger than before, and Henkel is also trying to use his mixed-race connections to urge the U.S. government to negotiate peace with China as soon as possible.
In this world, it is very likely that the sentence: "Send the soldiers home before Christmas" will become a truth, but not as a winner, but as a loser.
So, at Angers' request, Ander planned to build a dragon's nest at Kassel College. He had been wandering for a long time, and he was now more than 150 years old and still didn't have a fixed dragon's nest.
It's like sleeping on the street at the age of thirty, which is not good.
For the sake of Angers, Ender reluctantly built the dragon's nest inside Kassel College.
According to Angers' vision, he would hollow out the hill and build a college on the top of the mountain. The internal space would be used as a research institute for the Dragon Clan and a storage room for important items.
He even imagined a crazy-large principal's office, an extra-long elevator connecting the principal's office to the underground space, an exclusive aquarium for the principal, and an underground simulated biosphere.
What kid doesn't want to have his own zoo and oceanarium?
"It was just delivered, do you want to go take a look?"
Angers put the suitcase aside. Now this area is absolutely safe. Once the internal construction begins, Angers will move these things to another place.
Ander and Ange walked to another warehouse, where most of the building materials were stored, and the most eye-catching one was a bronze door.
The door, which is more than three meters high, is carved with various patterns that combine Chinese and Western styles. A smiling face is embossed in the center of the door, surrounded by these patterns.
"Made by alchemy, it is the work of a master alchemist imitating the dragon clan."
Ender took out a rusty metal snake from the space bag and placed it gently on the door. The next second, the snake came to life, its copper-green body twisted on the door and found a suitable position.
Coiled into a circle.
A magical light flashed, and under the influence of arousing the servant, the smiling face moved and spoke.
"Boss, you have given me a good place. I was frustrated to death before."
This was the living creature that Ender had found from the Nibelungs before. The treasure room of the dragon's nest still lacked a door, so Ender felt that this guy was quite suitable.
"From now on, you will be responsible for guarding the gate."
