If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 701 Exchange
"I thought you were going to hide, or run away, but now you seem to be doing well."

In the dark corner under the bell tower, a boy slowly came out and said with a smile as he looked at Mandy who was squatting on the edge of the crack in the ground not far away, trying to cook skewers with the high temperature of the magma.

"A qualified spy should still be a trusted spy after his identity is exposed. If he can't do this, then he shouldn't be a double agent at all." Mandy raised the bamboo stick in his hand. None for the boy.

"The 'emperor' has always been a violent and unreasonable person in my impression. If you are so extreme against Lin Nian today, are you not afraid that he will trouble you? Or are you determined to give your loyalty to one side?" The boy stopped not far from Mandy, looked up at the looming figure on the top of the church, lowered his head and looked at the barrel of the gun aimed at him at the girl's waist, still smiling.

"This is the charm of a double agent. If even passers-by can casually assert that my butt is facing, wouldn't I become a very casual woman in your eyes? I want to be a little longer What a scheming bitch." Mandy turned her head slightly and finally looked at the handsome young boy and stuck out her tongue in a funny way.

"Then are you interested in becoming a three-sided spy? My side is still very scarce for spy members who collect intelligence. The girls on my side are either holding knives to hold the line, or they are just playing with small treasuries. There is no such thing as a behind-the-scenes spy organization." .” The boy’s expression was confused, but also looking forward to it.

"No, the two-faced spy has already made my brain hurt, and the other side, do you really think I'm 'Agni'?" Mandy shrugged, "And you also saw the end of 'Agni', right? Playing with fire and self-immolation can only cut off the head in the end, I am a coward and everyone knows that it is not the first day."

"It's such a pity." The boy thought for a while and nodded to admit Mandy's words.

"But as a behind-the-scenes man with a background similar to that of the 'Emperor', what do you want to do when you suddenly appear in front of me? It shouldn't be just purely recruiting, right? I don't think I was training in Chernobyl Prison After half a year, the results will be so great." Mandy rubbed her flat belly and squinted and asked, "What should I call you, the 'boss' in the 'emperor' or Lu Mingze?"

"Just call me Lu Mingze." The boy chuckled, "It seems that He knows a lot about me."

"He will always try to understand the things he is interested in. He has always been interested in you, so I know a lot about you, but according to your habits, don't touch the point of 'Lu Mingfei' , you probably wouldn't take the initiative to appear in front of the stage, why did you change your temper and come to me today? This makes me a little flattered." Mandy stared at the boy's face, under that nonchalant mask was full of Gujing Wubo vigilance.

"It's true that I don't want to intervene in most things that have nothing to do with Lu Mingfei, but it's a pity that today's incident has a deep relationship with Lu Mingfei. His name appeared in the 'Emperor' plan, so I have to intervene too. " Lu Mingze's little black suit was illuminated fiery red by the cracked magma on the ground, and the emotions of the golden pupil and that handsome face have always been constant, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Huh? You know?" Mandy didn't deny or defend, but admitted it openly, "But this means that Lu Mingfei has got the Philosopher's Stone now, and is ready to slay the dragon? "

"Your internal intelligence networks are not the same?" Lu Mingze asked thoughtfully.

"Of course not, it might just be different to me." Mandy said, "Are you worried about Lu Mingfei's safety?"

"You have an excellent sniper here. He can disguise himself and hide himself. He can even injure Lin Nian, so he can give people a chance to injure Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingze said, "As his back I don't really want to see this happen."

"so?"

"I need to know his position, even if there is no specific position, some 'opportunities' are fine."

"Why should I betray my teammates to you? Although we are not enemies, we are even less friends." Mandy asked curiously.

"You can think of it as a 'deal'. You give me convenience, and I will give you back the benefits accordingly. You should know that people like the 'emperor' and I always keep our word." Lu Mingze shook his head. This poor kid clearly wants to take advantage of nothing!

But what I didn't expect was that Mandy just tilted his head slightly before this thankless decision and got the answer, "I don't know exactly where Wonderpus sniped tonight, but what I can know is the information he received. The order is to 'block' when Lu Mingfei shoots the sage's stone, so the moment he strikes must be the moment Lu Mingfei pulls the trigger, neither sooner nor later."

"Received." Lu Mingze nodded in satisfaction, "Actually, I still have a question."

"I think you are underage to treat you so preferentially, boy! Don't go too far!" Mandy stared at Lu Mingze with ill intentions.

"Then can my sister tell me about Su Xiaoqiang's ending because I'm underage?" Lu Mingze shrugged cheekily and said casually.

Mandy paused for a moment, seeing the young face with a smile but no emotional fluctuations in the golden pupil, after a moment of silence, he said, "The information is well done, where did you know about this? "

"At the Pearl Tower, I met the 'Emperor'."

"The medium to meet should be Su Xiaoqiang?"

"Yes, I have to say that the skill of "Duoshe" is quite amazing, but as far as I know, in the periodic table of speaking spirits, no matter whether it is a mixed race that has been discovered or not, there is no word "Duoshe". Yes." Lu Mingze said with great interest, ".He used some other means to achieve a phenomenon similar to 'seizing the house'. As for how He did it, I am also very interested in it, but it is a pity. He shouldn't have told me."

"There's nothing to talk about about Su Xiaoqiang, and I don't really want to talk about it. If this is your purpose, then please go back." Mandy said lightly.

"Why is there nothing to talk about? In my opinion, she is the biggest talking point tonight." Lu Mingze smiled, "An ordinary girl can stand at the center of the dragon slaying war that affects the entire history of the world at this moment. This honor is not something that everyone can have, why should she?"

Mandy looked at Lu Mingze's smiling face, he said the three words 'why' very naturally, without too much irony or doubt, but it was this naturalness that seemed to tell the truth that was the greatest. irony itself.

"Are you jealous of her?" Lu Mingze looked at Mandy and asked suddenly.

"No." Mandy shook her head, she looked up at the top of the clock tower, "I'm not jealous of her yet"

"Is that so?" Lu Mingze paused slightly, then nodded, "If possible, would you be willing to take her place?"

"What do you mean?"

"From a certain point of view, you are actually the same person." Lu Mingze said with a light smile.

"I probably know who the 'emperor' is behind him, but it is in line with his usual style, so cold-faced, an extreme egoist. Oh no, it should be an altruist. "Lu Mingze looked in the direction of the Hall of Valor for the first time. They had been deliberately ignoring the fierce battle in mid-air.

Every time there is an impact, the explosion of swords, gold and iron will roll along the burning clouds to the sky. No matter where in the academy, you can't miss the three-time violent blood fight with the Dragon King. Both Di and Lu Mingze seem to have little interest in the process of this battle - because they both know the outcome of this battle, and Lu Mingze prefers to delve into the mystery of the process when the ending is already determined, such as his Same thing you're doing now.

"Lin Nian can win tonight."

The emperor, who was sitting on the edge of the bell tower with his feet swaying slightly on the air, turned his head to look at Su Xiaoqiang who was sitting beside him and said seriously, "Because he has always been the best."

"Even if his enemy is the Dragon King?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at the brilliant fireworks that exploded in the distant sky. From her perspective, she couldn't see the details of the battle clearly, but the blood that was swayed in the air and evaporated was enough to show the danger. .

Every time they collide, they will leave hideous wounds on each other's bodies. Under the powerful bloodline, the wounds will heal in the blink of an eye, and the fatal injuries are torn apart again and again. Compete on the tip of the knife.

"Yes, even if his enemy is the Dragon King. So what about the Dragon King? The Dragon King is just a child who has not grown up, and he is the same. If he really grows up, he will not lose to any monarch on the throne. If anyone can If you become his enemy, then probably only the black emperor who sleeps forever." The emperor nodded.

"But your people said that he might do it today," Su Xiaoqiang said in a low voice.

"Will he die?" the emperor asked, "Yes, it is indeed possible. After all, a monster that has not grown up is always weak, so I promote his growth all the time, so that he has the ability to protect himself and roar to the world in advance." Ability, tonight is the most important step, as long as he takes this step, he will go forward indomitable."

Su Xiaoqiang didn't speak, just stared blankly at the sky in the distance, and the emperor also watched with her, watching the blood mist blooming one after another, falling from the sky in a rustle, and the bright fireworks were endless Let it go, the roar and howling are mixed together, and it is impossible to tell whose chest was split by the sword, whose internal organs were burned into coke by the melting fire.

almost.

The emperor looked at Su Xiaoqiang, there was no majesty in the lava's golden pupils, only peace and tranquility, just like what she had seen in a dream, he looked at her so gently, and asked her, "So...exchange?"

"Swap. What?"

"Exchange a different future." The emperor said softly, "Do you like that established future? The world is trapped in deserts and oceans, and the black emperor is restored and sits on the golden throne? And his name is no longer in the world , the name Lin Nian will become a brushstroke in the dust of history, even if it is full of color, it is destined to be forgotten."

"I thought it was just a dream."

"It's not just a dream. After you choose the path of Kassel College, it is a reality." The emperor said, "I can do all these things, so you should know that I am not an ordinary person. But compared to me, you But it’s an ordinary girl who can’t be more ordinary. Can you tell me why you chose the path of Kassel College?”

"I..." Su Xiaoqiang opened his mouth and fell into silence again.

"Can't answer? Or do you think the answer is too blunt and seems a bit stupid? A girl who is dazzled by love." The emperor said with a chuckle, "I understand how you feel, Su Xiaoqiang. In 18 years of life, you seem to be With the help of a wealthy family, you have everything, but you have never had what you really want. When you are young, you meet something that can really move your heart, and make you sure at a glance that it is what you have been looking for in your life. , then of course you can give all your enthusiasm for 18 years for him."

"No one cares about what you want. Everyone thinks you have everything, but what you really want is out of reach, so you really have nothing. You go up and want To get close, very good, you succeeded, but getting close is only the first step, what is the next step? Of course it is to stay, the way to stay in a relationship is to give - but you suddenly find that you have nothing!" Emperor lightly said,
"Everything you have in the past, everything that others think you have is nothing in front of him, and you are suddenly left with only your own skin, but you don't want to do it, because he doesn't like it. You are afraid, Scared, because since you have nothing, then of course you will never be able to really keep him."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at the emperor silently.

"Su Xiaoqiang, you lost your previous life in order to get close to him, so if you want to stay by his side after getting close to him, then you have to pay for the rest of your life, right?" The emperor looked at Su Xiaoqiang and said so seriously, "Someone loves you for love. They can bask in the sun for three days, and there are also people who can soak in the heavy rain for seven days for love. They are all loyal people, and they can give everything for what they love and think. What about you? Su Xiaoqiang, how much can you give for him?"

"But I really don't have anything," she said.

These words seemed to have exhausted all the strength in her body, and also spit out the pride that the girl had held for 18 years, being alone and longing for more.She has always humbled herself into the dust, looking forward to blooming again.

"No, you have a lot, as long as you are willing to exchange it with me." The emperor said softly, "Have you heard the story of "Faust"? The devil Mephisto made a bet with Faust, and Mephisto became Faust's servant, once Mephisto satisfies Faust with earthly pleasures, the relationship between master and servant will be dissolved, and Faust's soul will belong to Mephisto."

"You want my soul?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little dazed, but he didn't show much fear, because what the emperor said now was too empty and didn't have much real sense, and the soul hadn't even been proven. When it is put on the trading scale and becomes a bargaining chip, it will naturally not be too difficult to give up.

"The most precious thing a person has is her own soul." The emperor nodded, "So I would like you to sign a similar contract. Now Lin Nian is sitting on the gambling table, but he has no bargaining chips, but But I can give you the bargaining chip, and you will give it to him. The transaction is divided into four times, namely 'health', 'wealth', 'beauty' and 'memory'. These four symbolize a lifetime for a 'person' part, after four trades he gets everything, you give everything and your soul is mine."

Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and looked at the emperor. She should have looked at this man like a devil, but after seeing that face, it was difficult for her to feel any fear or disgust. If they were facing the same goal, he How could his request arouse her resentment?

"So... exchange?" The emperor looked at Su Xiaoqiang and asked softly, "I am not a devil, and you are not Faust, but what we are doing now is indeed the same thing. But what you give your soul, what you get does not belong to you Everything you sacrifice will be a wedding dress for him, and become the sharp edge for him to cut off the chains—this is the sacrifice you have always wanted, and today I will give you this opportunity!"

Su Xiaoqiang stared at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at her.

After a long silence, amidst the wind, she said, "OK."

"Very good!" He smiled lightly, stood up from the ground, looked down at the entire molten battlefield, and clapped his hands in the scorching long wind and said loudly,

".Then tonight this will be the altar of baptism and the opening of the altar will always offer a pure lamb. She hides in the dark and is stripped of the lamb's skin. She dyes the altar with the red of the sacrifice with her soul and flesh. In exchange for the glory of the one you love!"

In the darkness, Paco bowed his head slightly and backed away from this scene, as if paying his utmost respect to that great sacrifice.

—

"But what does the 'emperor' want Su Xiaoqiang's soul to do?" Lu Mingze twitched his fingers and said curiously, "That girl's soul should be worthless at all, right? The most important point of the devil's deal is to get the best value for money. Both the buyer and the seller have to make a profit. If it is said that Lin Nian's soul is sold in exchange for power, then this deal can still be established, but Su Xiaoqiang's soul, with all due respect, if the 'emperor' wants to benefit Lin Nian, he can directly Here, there is no need to be so convoluted."

"Now that you know it's a contract, do you think Lin Nian will sign a contract with the 'Emperor'? Although this contract is very good for him?" Mandy looked up at the top of the bell tower that gradually opened up the field and said lightly asked.

"will not."

"But some people will, as long as it is beneficial to him, she will agree, by any means."

Lu Mingze thought for a while, and then he suddenly seemed to understand something, knocked his hand and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Mandy looked at the boy who suddenly rejoiced as if he had solved some terrible riddle with a blank expression on his face. After the boy got the answer he wanted, he stopped stalking her and bowed politely. It walked towards the darkness at the corner of the clock tower, and finally disappeared into the red night like splashed ink.

Yes, the motives of the 'Emperor' in the past have always been a mystery. He established Lin Nian as the 'Prince' and tried his best to make the 'Prince' grow up, but Lin Nian has always regarded him as an enemy, so go ahead' The emperor holds the key to unlock power, and Lin Nian will never reach out to ask for it.

Wouldn't it be good to change the form and hand this key into his hand?After all, there is not only one person in this world who works so hard for Lin Nian to grow and transform.

"The more beautiful the girl, the more deceitful she is, Junior Brother, didn't I warn you before?" Mandy sighed softly, and looked in the direction of the ruins of the Ambo Pavilion.

On the ruins of the Hall of Valor, a magnificent word spirit began to chant, and the boundless light and fire gathered from the sky like a flood, and the heavy high pressure shattered the thick fire clouds in the sky into strands after strands.The bright and boundless light seemed like a supernova that was about to explode, and the coercion was like a sea tide rolling down on the heads of every intelligent creature, making them worship and fearful to die.

Yanling·Zhulong officially enters the countdown to release.

—

"Elena, you actually came to see me."

"Don't you hide in this girl's consciousness because you want to see me? You guessed that Lin Nian would ask me to solve the 'cocoon' left by you on her body—your motive for wanting to talk to me is too obvious."

"Then he should be slaying the dragon on the Yangtze River now. Doesn't it seem a bit immoral for the two of us to meet in private?"

"I wonder if you've watched too many strange TV shows recently"

"That's not what you should care about. Are you sure you want to accept my proposal? He will be very angry if he finds out, and maybe he won't believe you in the future."

"Our relationship isn't that fragile yet. I don't believe that you will be good for him, but at least this time you want to give him the 'right'. King, he needs this part of your 'power' to cut those chains."

"But how do you explain it to him? If the chain is cut off so easily, he will doubt it?"

".I told him that if he wanted to cut off the chains, he would need the baptism of the painstaking efforts of the four monarchs. Anyway, when he and Constantine confronted each other head-on, he probably wouldn't even know each other. I accidentally spilled some of my heart's blood on him. The body just meets the conditions, so it seems reasonable for you to cut off the chains?"

"You are still good at deceiving people. It is still the same after so many years."

"I just don't want you to say that, don't get close to me, now we are still incompatible according to our position, this time it's just a temporary cooperation. He needs this 'power', even if he does whatever he can, he can't do it I will do the dirty things, the Lord of Bronze and Fire is just the beginning, he needs to walk faster until he can really run and run to the front."

"What matters to him, what benefits him, we always stand on the same page. But isn't it impolite to call signing a contract with me a dirty business?"

"I will create an opportunity for you. You sign a contract with him through that opportunity, but I will also review this contract. If there is any problem, I will cut it off directly. Everyone will never communicate with each other until the decisive battle."

"Hey, you don't need to think about whether there is any problem with the contract itself. What you should think about is how to create this opportunity. You must know that the opportunity for me to sign a contract with him is very difficult!"

"Isn't this kind of thing just a word of mouth? Everyone eats the same bowl of rice. Who are you fooling here?"

"I'm the 'emperor', so my airs are of course bigger. Let me think about it, if there is an opportunity, I can use a kiss! There is nothing in ancient and modern history that is more symbolic of a contract than a 'kiss'."

"...don't even think about it! Have you watched "The Frog Prince" and "Snow White" too much?"

"It's "Sleeping Beauty." Oh, you're out of your wits."

"All in all, don't even think about it, 'kiss'? Do you want me to create a condition for you to 'kiss' him? Am I too idle to cuckold myself?"

"You're in a hurry."

"?"

"Anyway, this is the condition. Accept it or not, it's up to you. Even if Constantine doesn't have my backup, the people on Lu Mingfei's side will find a way to solve it, but Lin Nian won't be able to get what he should have this time. something."

"."

"Elena, are you ready?"

"... After he returns from the Yangtze River slaying the dragon, according to the temperament of the group of students in Kassel College, there should be a celebration banquet."

"You mean the ball? The 'kiss' between me and him at the ball felt full of ritual, but doesn't it feel weird that the 'emperor' kissed the 'prince'?"

"Then refuse, before I repent."

"That's not necessary. But are we doing something wrong to this girl? I borrowed her body to sign a contract, and used her soul as a bargaining chip. In the end, it was Lin Nian who got everything."

".So you still care about the thoughts of ordinary people? Isn't she a 'tool' cultivated by you from the beginning to the end? She could have done well in that coastal city, otherwise she wouldn't be a 'tool' of the contract '."

"Then what if I let her choose again? Yelena, do you think the result will be different?"

"It is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice. If she chooses, she will not look back. She is a very fragile person. Being by Lin Nian's side will only attract such fragile people, because they always need Lin Nian will save them, whether it's your Mandy Gonzalez, you and me, or Lu Mingfei."

"So Lin Nian has always been lonely. After all, true loneliness is nothing more than looking up and looking up. There is no one who can help him, only those who need his help."

"According to your personality, you will want Su Xiaoqiang to hide this contract in your heart until she dies. The real loneliness is not the loneliness of a person, but the loneliness that no one knows! Maybe this will also belong to Su Xiaoqiang and her." The sorrow of my own blood."

"So she needs some awareness to make up her mind for her. I have asked her to see the real dream."

"How to persuade her to become a bridge between you and Lin Nian is your problem. I just need to ensure that he gets the 'right' he deserves."

"It's really cold-blooded and stingy."

"I have always been a stingy person, and I am stingy about everything about him."

"I know, because I am the same way."

"That's why the two of us have been at odds."

"Then Yelena, have you ever thought that we have all paid so much, and if she is the one who really gets everything in the end, will the two of us go crazy in the end?"

"I do not know."

"Time may tell us the answer."

"perhaps."

"But before that, this girl still has a long way to go. After all, things like contracts are always cruel. Since she loves him, let her die for him. Four sacrifices! Four sacrifices Death! If she really came to the end, why not give her some consolation at the end?"

"."

"Don't deny it, it's the same as you, a cheapskate who advertises himself as selfish, but never interfered with the relationship between the two of them. After all, this is the last tenderness you left for this girl!"

After all, Yelena did not answer this question. She stood beside the emperor and looked at Su Xiaoqiang who was walking alone in the wind and sand in the dream. Her bright golden pupils were silent.
