Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 124 School Board Meeting (Part 2)
Chu Tianjiao, S-class bloodline, like Ange, possesses the incredible word spirit of time zero. Many years ago, this name had the same status in Kassel Academy as Ange today. Later, he disappeared quietly from the public eye, and all the records about him in Norma were hidden. People who did not experience that period had no idea that the academy had such an awesome person. To this day, the name Chu Tianjiao is still well-known among the school directors.
Since the establishment of Kassel Academy, there have been no more than ten S-level bloodlines. Whether in the history of the dragon race or among the mixed-bloods, the bloodline theory is a recognized fact. The upper limit of a mixed-blood's ability depends on how high his bloodline is. In order to obtain more powerful strength, there are many people who have gone astray and tried every means to improve their bloodline. The end of most of them is to become deadpools and be killed by the mixed-blood society such as Kassel Academy. Even the few who succeed can hardly maintain their normal form. They either die early or hide in places where no one can find them, which runs counter to the original intention of wanting to taste power.
Therefore, every S-level is extremely important to the academy. Lu Mingfei has always believed that her so-called S-level is just a compliment from the academy. In fact, from the moment she entered the sight of Kassel Academy, she has been the focus of the entire academy and the board of directors. In the future, she will have the opportunity to get involved in the top power institutions in the mixed-blood society and share secrets that others cannot know.
"According to Chu Tianjiao's life trajectory, he should have risen rapidly after joining the Executive Department, until today he became the head of the Executive Department, standing on the front line of slaying dragons and leading newcomers." Frost stared at Ange coldly, "But he disappeared from Norma's sight many years ago. The explanation you gave us was that Chu Tianjiao needed to carry out a long-term secret mission. The academy is led by you, so we usually don't interfere too much. The problem is that Chu Tianjiao's problem has not been properly resolved for ten years until we discovered this supernatural incident in S City in southern China."
Beowulf was closest to Ange, and he dragged the stack of documents in front of him and looked through them again.
This document is the information Chu Zihang took back from Tang Wei. The school director rated this task as SS because it was related to Chu Tianjiao, who had been out of contact for many years. As the holder of Time Zero, Chu Tianjiao is much younger than Ange. The school director has always regarded him as a new generation of dragon-slaying leader to be trained, but the future hero disappeared in full view of everyone.
"The incident happened in the suburbs of S City. In 2004, Typhoon Dandelion landed in the city. The next day after the typhoon passed, people found the car in the suburbs. There were no people around, and there were no signs of vehicles driving. It looked like the car fell directly from the sky. This incident did not attract much attention in the local area because it was just an ordinary driver who disappeared. It was not until recently that this mysterious case came into the attention of the school board. After multiple investigations, it was proved that the missing driver was Chu Tianjiao." Beowulf looked at Chen Hao, "This is the credit of Mr. Chen."
Chen Hao nodded slightly, "We didn't take this incident too seriously at the time, because we couldn't find any evidence to prove that it was related to the dragon clan. But when it was successfully proved that it was Chu Tianjiao who disappeared, his son Chu Zihang also became clear. According to Professor Schneider's testimony, Chu Zihang was an extremely rare student who took the initiative to contact Kassel College, which means that he knew about us in advance. He didn't go through China's 3A exam preparatory course, but he knew about the dragon clan and even knew us. It's obvious that this is because of Chu Tianjiao. We can even boldly speculate that Chu Zihang is related to his father's disappearance, and he took the initiative to find Kassel for revenge."
"When Chu Zihang joined Cassel, Norma must have conducted a background check on him. It would have been easy to find out that Chu Zihang is Chu Tianjiao's son. All the S-level action records are backed up by Norma. As the principal, Ange, you can't be unaware of this!" Beowulf said sternly, "But you remained silent. You can even say that you deliberately concealed this incident from us! We need a reasonable explanation!"
"Hmm." Angé responded casually. He took out a cigar from the cedar wood cigarette case, sniffed it slowly, cut the button with a cigar scissors, burned the cigar with a thin match, then lit it and took a puff of it with relish.
The temperature of the air around him seemed to be even lower. Everyone could see that he didn't care about the almost furious accusations from the school directors. It was these people who allowed him to sit on the position of principal of Kassel Academy, and of course they also had the power to impeach him as the principal. Hiding the death of an S-level from the school directors had in itself touched the insurmountable red line.
"Strictly speaking, Chu Tianjiao may still be alive today, so I can't easily issue a death report on him." Angers said calmly, "If his body or remains are found, I will compile a report and give it to you as soon as possible. A Maybach that belonged to him can't prove anything."
"Evidence?" Frost's face seemed frozen. The Gattuso family donated the highest amount to the academy every year. He had a lot of say, and he himself didn't get along well with Angers' style.
"Chu Tianjiao was sent to S City for two main tasks, which I can now disclose to you." Angers exhaled a puff of green smoke, "First, you should all know that Lu Mingfei is the daughter of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, so everyone is so concerned about her. As the first known hybrid in history born of two S-level bloodlines, we were all worried that Lu Mingfei would be a bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus from birth. S City is where she grew up, and Chu Tianjiao's first mission was for surveillance purposes."
Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini were also two names that shone with light, but that dazzling glory had already faded away. The school directors did not want to mention it, so they all avoided the topic.
"Let an S-class dragon-slaying hero monitor a girl as she grows up?" Beowulf's forehead was bulging with veins. This kind of thing was simply an insult to Chu Tianjiao. He felt sorry for the S-class hero whom he had never met.
"You think it's a waste of talent, right?" Ange smiled faintly, "Then the second mission will make you feel it's worth it. Many years ago, the professors in Kassel collectively suspected that there was a Nibelungen in S City."
The school directors were all shocked, and they could not even hide their surprise in each other's eyes. The families behind them had already spent too much on the cause of slaying dragons, just to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the mysteries of the dragon race. The name of Nibelungen was enough to satisfy their strong curiosity... or their long-awaited greed.
Nibelung, the Land of the Dead, although named the Land of the Dead, is not the underworld or hell. It is a special world created by high-level dragons. It is full of dead matter. Flames have no temperature, flowing water lacks buoyancy, and matter itself has lost its proper properties.
In the field of alchemy, these things are treasures of infinite value, because they have no impurities and can easily produce incredible metals or weapons, while also having unparalleled sharpness and toughness. The spirit of the fifth element can be seen everywhere in the Nibelungen. Just reach out and grab it, and you can use the oldest alchemy to make batches of philosopher's stones . Any alchemy from ancient times to the present has an infinite yearning for the Nibelungen. Even a guy like the vice-president would probably kneel down and lick Angers's shoes to ask him where the Nibelungen is.
"Chu Tianjiao's Maybach was left in the wilderness, with no one seen alive or dead. This is natural because he successfully entered the Nibelungen in City S. According to the description in the history of the dragon clan, that place is based on the reflection of the real world. He can find food and water, although they are dead objects without buoyancy, there should be no problem drinking them. Our dragon-slaying hero has undergone enough training, and even in that kind of place, it is easy for him to live for ten or eight years. The only thing we need to consider is whether his spirit can withstand a long-term life without rescue and dialogue." Angers said, "Before we find a way to open the Nibelungen, we can't easily issue a death report of Chu Tianjiao. He may become the first person in history to have been to the Nibelungen and come back again."
"Why not ask his son?" Frost said impatiently. "His son might have been sitting in the Maybach that night!"
"If you have studied at the current Kassel Academy, you will understand that Chu Zihang is a person who is difficult to speak on his own initiative, just like the heroes in the movies who are willing to sacrifice themselves heroically. Even if the fire has burned him, as long as he doesn't want to talk, no method can pry his mouth open." Angers smiled, "I know that everyone is very interested in Nibelungen. That is a whole world created by the dragons. If you can get it, perhaps many secrets of the dragons will be revealed. In fact, there is no need to be so impatient. If Chu Zihang has been to Nibelungen, then he will have a chance to enter there again."
"Why do you say that?" Beowulf frowned. In a way, his name suited him. He could be a warrior, but he was definitely not suitable for a civil servant. He found it difficult to understand things that required beating around the bush.
"There are records about Nibelungen in the Ice Sea Fragments. It says that humans brought their tributes to pay homage to the Dragon King. One person went and one person came back. Only the person who went to Nibelungen could find the exact location of Nibelungen. The dragon clan would only allow this one person to glimpse the secrets of Nibelungen each time, and only after he died would he be replaced by another person. These people have been baptized by the Word Spirit and bloodline, and are absolutely loyal to the dragon clan, so the secrets of Nibelungen have been sealed until today."
Angers said, "Have you heard of the funerals of ancient nomadic people? In addition to sky burials, they also have other ways. They take a pony and an old horse, and kill the old horse in front of the pony at the burial place of the ancestors. The pony will remember this place for the rest of its life. Every year, they will follow the pony to worship the ancestors until the pony dies. No one knows where the remains of the ancestors are. It's very similar to the story of the Nibelungen. So we just need time and patience. Chu Zihang will find the gate of the Nibelungen again, just like the pony."
Ange's attitude was really annoying. Beowulf and Frost were both unfriendly. Chen Hao just silently flipped through the document to check if there was anything missing. The two ladies over there were whispering to each other. They all knew that Ange was a person who didn't like to lie, or even couldn't lie. For things he didn't want to expose, he would act like Chu Zihang, and put on a gangster attitude. Any fierce threats would have no effect on him. But if he opened his mouth, you could keep absolute trust in him because he hated lies.
"From today on, any travel records of Chu Zihang must be under our control! Especially when he returns to his hometown!" After a brief discussion, Frost jumped out to speak on behalf of the school board. No one wanted to miss the moment when the Nibelung Cave opened its doors. Compared with the treasure inside, the huge amount of human wealth in their family was only worthy of being a stepping stone, just like the stones used to make the water rise in the story of the crow drinking the water. They have been investing for many years, and the earliest people who did this have turned to ashes. Now they finally see the opportunity to reap the rewards.
"You are the boss, you have the final say." Ange shrugged, looking indifferent. It seemed that he had already guessed the school board's approach. In the face of truly huge interests, these people will reveal their impatient nature. They are like capitalists in the mixed-race society, and Ange is just a worker for them.
Actually, it was good this way. Ange knew better than anyone that he just wanted revenge and killed all the dragons in the world. This big undertaking required sufficient financial and human resources, and the people in front of him could provide him with them. Ange was not interested in the secrets of the dragons. The reason why he mentioned Nibelungen was that there might be cocoons of dragons hidden there. For thousands of years, humans had always found it difficult to kill the dragon king because they could not find the cocoons they used to revive. Considering the secrecy of the world of Nibelungen, it was indeed a good place to store them.
"If there are no other questions, let's move on to the next topic of today." Ange rang the bell, "Candidates for the Nibelungen Project! Please allow me to introduce to you our A-level student, a well-deserved elite, Caesar Gattuso."
The door opened, and Caesar Gattuso, with brilliant golden hair, sea-blue eyes, a pure white evening gown, and a violet silk handkerchief stuffed in his jacket pocket, appeared in front of the school directors with his undisguised and flamboyant clothes. This was his style, his pride, and even if he was about to face the top people in the entire mixed-blood world, he would still convince these powerful people in his own way.
