April 19th.
Chicago time, twenty-two thirty.
The penetrating light pierced the dense maple forest, and the black python crawling on the ground brought up flying petals wherever it passed. It was not until it was almost reaching its destination that the world python slowed down and stopped smoothly at Kassel College. forward.
The college did not prepare any welcome ceremony today, but there were still many people gathered outside the school gate. Most of them were members of the Lion Heart Club, and many people came to watch the fun and pay homage to the legendary dragon slayer.
The members of the Lionheart Club held their heads high and their chests high. Not only did their president's declaration at the succession ceremony be fulfilled, but he also achieved it to the extreme, creating a history that the Secret Party had never seen before, and killing the Dragon King!
Now the Lion Heart Club's popularity has completely overshadowed the student union. In the second half of the year, freshmen who have not yet decided to join the Lion Heart Club join the Lion Heart Club one after another.
The student union does have a good boss who takes great care of his younger members. The club activities are organized in a lively and exciting way. It is a good place to enjoy campus life.
But no matter how extravagant they are, the top welfare benefits are far less shocking to these elites than glory.
The once century-old society, under the leadership of the new president, has simply surpassed the prosperity of the first generation Lionheart Club. After all, President Lu has achieved great achievements that even Meneke Cassel has failed to achieve.
The airtight door opened, and a young man in a black trench coat walked out first, carrying a domineering dragon-slaying weapon, followed closely by a handsome boy in a school uniform with an expressionless face, and a tall German man in a leather jacket.
The crowd cheered, but as the young man raised his hand, they all fell silent.
"President, welcome back to school."
Milan stepped forward and took Lu Chen's small suitcase thoughtfully, "Are you going to the Lion Heart Club or going back to the dormitory directly?"
Lu Chen looked at the members of the Lion Heart Club with fiery and excited eyes and felt a little emotional. He didn't know whether his instigating declaration was right or wrong.
Not everyone is like him and Chu Zihang. In the past six months, two members of the Lion Heart Club have died in the field after applying to become temporary commissioners.
Now he is very clear about the principal's thinking. Kassel Academy is not to cultivate a group of dragon-slaying soldiers. Behind the free and open academy, it is actually screening. They need to cultivate the top dragon-slaying warriors, and only the top ones are Only the strong ones can face the Dragon King.
"I want to go to the ice cellar first. You should go back and rest early."
Judging from the text messages received on his mobile phone, Miranla had probably been waiting here since seven o'clock.
"Junior sister, junior sister, the cars are here, give me a ride, and junior brother Chu."
Fingel said with a smile on his face, it was quite a distance from the school gate to the dormitory, so it would be nice to have a ride.
"The president should rest early after finishing his work. I will send the vice-president and senior brother back first."
Miranla nodded and said, she knew that Chu Zihang and Lu Chen lived across the street and originally drove a four-seater car.
"Brother Lu, let's go back first."
Chu Zihang said hello and followed Fingel to the car parked not far away. He knew that Brother Lu still had something to do.
Lu Chen waved his hand behind him, and a carriage behind the World Python opened from the side. A commissioner stepped down from it and said respectfully: "Commissioner Lu, please take over."
There are two boxes in this carriage, a black alloy box as big as a ship container, and a long silver box about 1.8 meters, which contain Norton's dragon body and the seven deadly sins.
This time the academy did not choose to transport them by air, because whether it was the Dragon Bone Cross of the first generation or the Seven Deadly Sins, they were top priorities and were the top treasures in the world, and they must be personally escorted by the top combat power of the Secret Party.
They did not encounter any trouble along the way, but according to feedback from the execution department, while in Greenland, Norma detected a group of hybrids approaching the convoy, but they stopped fifty miles away from the location of the treasure and retreated.
Because they learned who the "guardian" was.
Pulleys and levers were installed under the big box where Norton's dragon body was. Lu Chen placed the box containing the Seven Deadly Sins on the big box and pulled it down the slope.
"Stop looking, pick me up here when you have time, why not help Lancelot and the others handle their affairs."
Lu Chen dispersed the Lion Heart Club crowd. He didn't see Lancelot, so he probably was being used as a mule.
Walking on campus under the moonlight, it seems like it has just rained in the afternoon. The moist air is filled with the smell of earth and the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel the beauty of spring.
Mid-April is the most comfortable time of spring. Thinking of a small country in the east, it should be the time when cherry blossoms are falling.
When he walked to the building where the principal's office was located, he saw the old man in a brown trench coat. The principal had already come down to wait for him.
"Boy, you surprise me every time."
The old British gentleman warmly hugged and saluted, then looked at the huge black gold box pulled behind Lu Chen, "Is it heavy?"
"Fortunately, principal, you understand me. This is very light for me."
Lu Chen pulled the box and walked into the building.
Angers led the way, twisting and turning, and passed through two houses with "extended" doors in advance. After swiping the card, he opened an elevator that others could not use. This elevator was much wider than a normal freight elevator. It was almost like It was a small living room with wooden floors. It looked familiar to Lu Chen. It not only led directly to the principal's office, but also led directly to the ice cellar.
"It seems you haven't been to the ice cellar yet."
After entering the elevator, Angers swiped his card again and pressed the button at the bottom.
"I didn't have the right to withdraw money before, and I've been too busy recently. This is indeed my first time here."
Lu Chen put the boxes in place. As an S-class student, his black card had direct access to the ice cellar from the beginning, but he did not have the right to withdraw the contents of the ice cellar at will.
He thought that since he couldn't take it casually, instead of being greedy when he saw something good, it would be better not to look at it.
After becoming the honorary school director a few days ago, his authority was enhanced, and he could indeed withdraw the collection in the ice cellar without any application. However, after he came back, he was busy preparing for the battle of the Dragon King, and he had no intention of visiting the ice cellar.
"If you come here for the first time, it will feel a little fresh."
Angers laughed.
As the elevator sank, lights suddenly lit up in all directions. Lu Chen looked at the light blue world around him. A hammerhead shark swam past his eyes. Not far away, he could also see lazy sea turtles, and a blue The fin tuna is chasing a school of mackerel behind it, the water is rippling, the light and shadow are glazed, and there is no aquarium in the world that can compare with the scenery here.
"This is our fish tank."
Angers introduced.
Lu Chen looked down at some subtle marks on the floor, and finally understood why it looked familiar. Judging from the spatial location, this was part of the principal's office!
The principal's nanmu desk was originally placed here, and his wine cabinet used to be placed on the side!
No wonder the location of the elevator on the first floor is so weird. This extravagant old guy actually placed the elevator directly in the center of his office!
Lu Chen wanted to complain. If you were in a normal position, you could only take two steps. Looking at this posture, he could imagine that the principal was tired from "work" and pressed a button to sit on his leather chair. You can enjoy various scenery and relax while sitting on the chair without moving.
If you have leisure time, you can even go to the wine cabinet and open a bottle of wine while watching the underwater world.
Damn capitalism!
Principal, you may be handsome when you are sipping wine and admiring the scenery, but the way you toiled around the office today just to pack this big Norton box and show off your VIP elevator to me... you must be very embarrassed.
"Principal, I have to say that in terms of your extravagant lifestyle, the school directors are absolutely right in their impeachment of you."
Lu Chen complained.
Ange smiled and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, "We are people with a great dream of saving the world. It's nothing to spend a small amount of money. If you want, you can apply to build a bigger one for you."
Lu Chen shook his head, "I don't need to decompress while working. Even if an aquarium is built under the Amber Pavilion, I won't need it."
"Oh, that's right. You usually don't go to the Lion Heart Club to handle official business."
Angers looked "suddenly enlightened".
"Principal, you don't seem to do much serious work all day long, you just know how to boss young people around."
Lu Chen lost his way and businesses were in trouble.
Then he was a little confused, "The fish tank is very nice, but why does our college build an aquarium down there? Is it just to relax a centenarian?"
Angers shook his head and retorted: "Of course not, don't think I'm that corrupt. This is the college's gene bank. Studying dragons requires a large number of genetic samples for comparison. This is only a part of the underground. Don't be surprised yet."
As the words fell, the elevator just passed the "aquarium" area.
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly opened up. It was a lush scenery, and it turned out to be a forest!
The elevator's tendency to sink stopped. They were hovering on two rails suspended in the air, like a mountain cable car in a scenic spot. The elevator was crossing this tropical forest.
Lu Chen looked up and saw that above the artificial sunlight was the "aquarium" just now. Fish were flying in the sky and animals on the ground were running. This was a spectacle that had never been seen in the mythical era, but now it has been replaced by human technology. It was realized.
Ange proudly introduced: "Under the artificial sunlight, there are more than 120,000 species of plants preserved here. There is also a zoo over there with more than 8,000 species of animals, and even giant pandas."
Lu Chen lowered his head and looked down at the ground below him, "Principal, this cable car function... is definitely a tourist project."
If we put an elevator in the office that goes straight down to the bottom of the ice cellar, it would make sense from the perspective of safety and convenience, but it would also involve crossing horizontally!
This is definitely a tour project that seeks public benefit for personal gain!
"...If you say that, I don't seem to be able to refute it."
Angers was also a little embarrassed. When he first said that he wanted to build an elevator in his office that could reach the ice cellar, the school directors stared at him like he was crazy, because the distance from the principal's office to the ice cellar was not vertical. Normally, he went to the ice cellar. There is a "normal" elevator on the other side of the horizontal plane.
But after he came back, he ignored the opinions of the school directors and handed the proposal to the Equipment Department.
Facts have proved that crazy people can always complete crazy projects. In order to make the elevator reach the end, they did not hesitate to set up aerial rails.
Oh, well, he admitted, he just wanted to press the button and tour the scenery during tea time.
"Why does that look like a pyramid?"
Lu Chen was a little confused. He had performed a mission into the pyramids in Egypt.
"Oh, that's a pyramid."
Angers' tone was understatement, "We uprooted it from the South American jungle, transported it here and then restored it, which wasted a lot of effort."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, "... Principal, I used to think that people like you who wasted money from secret parties lived a very happy life. Only today did I realize that I was wrong. I can't even imagine your happiness."
Even the pyramids have been dug out, which is outrageous!
"You did misunderstand this time. This is not to satisfy my desire to watch. This is the Mayan pyramid. Do you remember the Mayan prophecy I once told you? This is what is recorded on it."
Angers pointed to the pyramid and said: "The Mayans created the solar calendar, which is a calendar, history, and a book of prophecies. I told you about the history they recorded, but I never mentioned to you the future predicted by the Mayans."
"The future? Is this thing reliable?"
Lu Chen didn't really believe in prophecies.
"At least the first four predictions of the Mayans are accurate. The first four solar periods were destroyed by the four monarchs, and the fifth solar period is about to end, that is, in 2012, this is The end of the solar period, the prophecy recorded by the Mayans ends here. After the fifth solar period, there will be nothing, nothingness.”
Ange's expression also became serious, "Both dragons and humans will not survive this end."
"It sounds a bit like Ragnarok, so will the ending this time be the Black King?"
Lu Chen thought of the murals in the Jin Lunga Corridor.
Angers explained: "Maybe it's the black king, maybe it's the white king, but it's unlikely that the four monarchs will be together. You have already killed one, and the second one is probably not far away, but no matter what, if we If this disaster cannot be solved, you may not be able to receive your diploma.”
Lu Chenxin said that I would not be able to receive my diploma in the first place, and maybe I will leave in more than a year. "According to this, King Bai may really return someday, and the worries of the Sheqi family are not unreasonable." "
"Yes, the four great monarchs are terrifying, but the secret party still has records of their power. But as for the Black and White King, we are almost ignorant and don't know their capabilities. So if you want to go to Japan, I think it's better to be on the safe side. Delay for a few days.”
Angre said with a serious expression, looking at the black gold box behind Lu Chen.
"Plan Nibelungen? How long will it take?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly. The space did not give a detailed description. If it was a protracted strengthening work, he did not want to wait too long.
What Principal Ange said made sense. He didn't know the White King's abilities and how powerful he was. His second-generation Eden alone once put him in a difficult battle.
