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

Chapter 772

"The Kuimen area has been officially blocked. It will not be opened as a tourist attraction in the next three years. The government will subsidize the blow to the tourism industry. The specific plan is probably to implement some effective regional preferential policies as usual." The principal took out a The stack of documents was placed on the glass table and pushed in front of Lin Nian, and he tapped the corner of the photo exposed in the document to signal him to take a look.

Lin Nian opened the file and took a look at the photos inside. What he saw were a few red maple mountains, but now it's the dawn of spring, where are the mountains full of red maple leaves?He searched again and found out that this is not Fengshan, this is Kuimen after the storm ebbed.

The originally submerged high mountains on both sides of the strait were dyed blood red by the dragon's blood from the 'Red Sea'. The dragon's blood soaked every inch of soil in the high mountains like a finger inserted into a woman's hair, leaving the maple red everywhere.

"There will be problems, right?" Lin Nian subconsciously said.

"It should be a big problem. If even the soil is completely submerged by the river water polluted by dragon's blood, it's hard to imagine what the animals and plants bred on these two mountains will look like in the next three years." The principal leaned on the chair Putting his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Even the mountains on both sides of the strait are like this, the underwater situation is probably even worse?"

"Underwater is better. Because of the dragon king's plunder, no fish dare to approach the polluted waters. It is a natural forbidden area for underwater creatures, just like minefields for humans, but it is so orthodox. We have also taken sufficient measures to block fish, and submitted a draft plan for a three-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River, which is now being passed.”

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, of course I mean the fishing ban." The headmaster shrugged, "For those who really like fishing, the fishing ban is probably just a joke for them to scold. People who can't help but want to throw two poles. But if the sneak fisherman does not let go of the tug-of-war this time, the people and the fish will probably go to the people in the end."

"It's a joke from hell, but it's the truth, but it's something that Orthodoxy should worry about." Lin Nian put down the file, "However, Orthodox should have other more important things to be busy with during this period than poaching." ?”

"Like the Dragon King under the Kuimen River?" Angers asked.

"The combination of the legendary alchemy sword and the real bronze and the remains of the King of Fire after fusion has nothing to do with one's position. It is hard for anyone not to be tempted by this temptation."

"It's one thing to be tempted, but it's another thing to have the ability to fish it out for your own use." The principal shook his head lightly, "At least right now, neither Orthodoxy nor us have the ability to touch the area under the Kuimen River." Treasure."

"Are you sure Norton is dead?" Lin Nian asked.

"Now whether it is in the Orthodox or in the Secret Party, the slayers of Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, and Constantine have been recorded with your name. I think the answer to this question can only be answered by you." The principal chuckled Looking at Lin Nian intently.

"At least in my eyes he is dead."

"Then he's dead." Angers nodded slightly, "Now his state is no different from death. Orthodoxy sent back an underwater image and a Secret experimental observation report, the content of the report proves that although the huge underwater monster still has the physiological activities that a creature should have, it does not mean that it is still alive. Various tests and experiments have shown that it looks like a huge dragon king It's really just a 'monster' now."

"Although it is unbelievable, one of the four monarchs known as the terminator of human civilization, our Lord Norton, is now in a state of brain death, and the estimated period of this state will be forever!" Anger said, "But the dragon clan will always be a great creature that we can't understand, not to mention the existence of the dragon king standing on the top of the mountain. Even if he is brain dead, his dragon body still maintains complete functions, from the beating of the heart, blood supply, to water. The circulation of the lower respiratory system, the metabolism of the body, etc. are still going on in balance.”

"It's like a vegetative person. Or a plant dragon?" Lin Nian felt that his analogy was a bit ridiculous, but he believed that when anyone saw the huge but lifeless dragon body in the darkness under the river, the uneasy feeling would arise in his heart. It will be ridiculous, but it will only be boundless fear and awe of giants full of wild atmosphere.

"Whether a brain-dead person is alive or dead, and whether the life of a creature is determined by consciousness or matter has always been a hotly debated and enduring topic. But no matter from the perspective of the secret party or the orthodox, we are now facing a fundamental It will not be a matter of debate, they and we have always only valued one thing and that is what this dragon body can bring us." Anger looked up at Lin Nian.

"It's not surprising. After all, this is the dragon king after fusion. Even in the entire dragon civilization, it can be called the ultimate form. It's normal for humans to covet it." Lin Nian nodded.

"You seem to have reacted calmly to this, Linnian," Anger said.

"It's hard not to be calm, after encountering so many things." He reached out to the muffins sprinkled with rose dew on the table.

"Orthodox tried to study the living dragon body, but they failed." Anger got up and pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket, picked up a knife and fork, cut the muffin for Lin Nian first, and arranged it On the porcelain plate in front of the other party.

"The question about the seven deadly sins?" Lin Nian did not reject Angers' offer.

"It's hard for me to say whether the alchemy sword combination in that state can still be called the 'Seven Deadly Sins', and you have to explain this to me." Anger retracted his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"It's just another form. Norton re-smelted him. It's a brand new field of alchemy. If I'm unlucky that day, I might be the one lying at the bottom of the river being studied by others." Lin Nian said with a knife Cutting the muffin with a fork, his tone was calm but he couldn't hear too much fear.

"In short, Orthodoxy can't crack the alchemy field that has been formed in the Dragon King's body. The new form of the Seven Deadly Sins is extremely tricky and vicious. Any creature that tries to get close to the Dragon King's body will be attacked by the seven deadly sins. Orthodoxy has sacrificed for this There are multiple divers. That is a field of alchemy that we have never seen before, maybe the Dragon King could not bear the cruelty, so he chose the ending of brain death. Of course, this is also our guess." Anger said and looked at Lin Nian With a glance, "After all, we can only guess this way. In your report, the end of the battle was drawn at the moment when the seven deadly sins ran through Norton."

"Then it seems that the ending now is the best. The Dragon King is no longer a threat, and his legacy can no longer cause a second fight. It not only solves the problem of external aggression, but also ensures that there will be no internal struggle because of it." Lin Nian Chewing the muffin and said.

"Maybe one day when Orthodoxy finds the secret to cracking the alchemy field of the Seven Deadly Sins, the civil strife will officially start?" Anger asked.

"But that's for the future. Norton's rage-filled masterpiece before his death is not so easy to study and decipher. The half-bloods should understand the corner alchemy techniques left by the dragons and then talk about building a strategic plan." Lin Nian looked He is extremely reassured about the orthodoxy and the alchemy attainments of the secret party.

"So the secret party is very dissatisfied. They think we have lost more by slaying the dragon this time." Anger said.

"They really treat dragon slaying as a business."

"After all, we are the one who paid the most this time." Anger spread his hands lightly, his eyes lowered to point out.

Lin Nian bit the muffin without saying a word, and swallowed the food in his mouth with the sweet black tea, and Ange also took advantage of the opportunity to pour him another cup.

"But in any case, this dragon slaying battle was successful, and no one can question Norton's death." The principal said, "The loudest voice on the school board was just questioning what happened underwater that day. It seems that there are some discrepancies between the mission reports of the members of Tianxia Diving for the executive department."

"In and out?" Lin Nian wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and raised his head.

"Some dive members described the missions as dangerous, while others were very relaxed. For example, Chu Zihang's mission reports were mostly about the siege of corpse guards and the confusion of underwater blasting, and even derived an article based on it. A combat paper on underwater tug-of-war; Caesar’s report on his leisurely journey to Bronze City carrying a coffin of unknown origin. In the end, Lu Mingfei’s side, um, in his original words, he sneaked into Baidi City with you and killed them randomly. The sky is dim and the earth is dark, the sun and the moon have no light."

"Did he really use the two idioms 'the sky is dim and the earth is dark' and 'the sun and the moon have no light' in the report?"

"Yes, the whole story looks like a novel, in which you and the Dragon King even have lines for each other."

"for example?"

"Like 'You little human being, you will pay for your mistakes!' 'Come on, Dragon King! It's time for us to settle our scores!' Something like that."

"It does sound confusing." Lin Nian commented sincerely.

"That is to say, you didn't say those words? Neither did the Dragon King?"

"No, I forgot, maybe I said it."

"They all insist that the report is what they see, and there is no deceit." Anger looked up at Lin Nian with interest, "In the end, it seems that only your mission report has a beginning and an end, and even the details are in place—— So in the end, the executive department can only use your mission report as the final version entered into the information database."

"This is what I should do." Lin Nian nodded, "I want to know if my GPA this semester can be mixed to 4.0 after this mission is over?"

"Can students who have won the Nobel be guaranteed graduate studies?" Anger asked with a smile, "Even if it is the internship this semester, you will pass with full marks."

"Then I probably won't worry that the scholarship will be postponed due to the school rebuilding occupying funds." Lin Nian sighed softly and looked at the jumping red squirrels on the bookshelf outside the guardrail, "After all, the school board probably won't let them The hero is chilling."

"One last thing." Anger said, "You should know that the name Dragon King Norton once used was Ronald Tang, right?"

"Chinese-American, born in an orphanage, lives in a poor area of ​​Brooklyn, dropped out of high school." Lin Nian said slowly.

"Where did you learn that?"

"You might not believe it, but Lu Mingfei and him were netizens. I mean before Norton realized his true identity." Lin Nian said.

Ang Nuan nodded and said, "According to the records of "Ice Sea Fragments", these brothers have always lived in a bronze palace in Northern Europe. But starting from a certain year BC, they suddenly decided to cross the Eurasian continent and go to In China, Gongsun Shu was supported as king, and then defeated by Emperor Liu Xiu with the support of the mixed-race family. Before they died, they also cocooned their souls. The brass jars you found in the Bronze City are not actually bone bottles. It is the 'egg' used by the dragon king to reproduce the new body."

"In the eggs, their new bodies grow again, and the dragon king's body grows like the cultivation of a towering tree. In thousands of years, Norton, the elder brother, left the 'egg' first, and wandered in human society amidst the loss of memory. , got the name 'Ronald Don,' and then there's the story as we know it."

"I don't have much interest in dead things. Maybe if you tell Lu Mingfei about these things, he will be more willing to listen. Norton used to be his acquaintance, not mine." Lin said young.

"I said so much, I just want to explain one thing to you, Lin Nian." Anger said in a low voice, "The process of the Dragon King recovering his memory is gradual. The moment he really recovered his memory was when his dragon body grew perfectly. It is the moment of success, but according to the calculation, he should still have a hundred years before this moment, but he has recovered in advance, and met and killed you in a perfect state, which is counterintuitive."

"Maybe Constantine's death stimulated him. There is always a saying that there is a common blood between brothers."

"You guessed right." Ang Hot nodded and resubmitted a document, "When Norton was still the individual 'Ronald Tang', he had mental problems for a period of time, and the specific manifestations were Insomnia, severe headaches, and nightmares, we have found his medical records in the psychological departments of major hospitals in New York. That period also happened to be three months after Constantine died. between."

"So...?" Lin Nian didn't take the document, he looked at the word 'Top Secret' on the cover of the document, and the blood red winding 'S' imprint with scale-like lines for a long time.

"After the invasion of the Wuni Opera House and Constantine's students, I was often wary of the third-party forces that were eyeing the tiger, so I also carried out the time point of the awakening of 'Ronald Tang' as Norton. With all-round investigation, I thought I could find out the list of behind-the-scenes masterminds coveting the Dragon King's legacy, but until the end, I only got a rather intriguing piece of information." Anger pushed the closed document to Lin Nian in front of
"I think Ronald Tang and Constantine do have some kind of connection that transcends time and space. This is the privilege and mystery of the Dragon Clan. They are connected by blood, even if they are separated by blood, they will feel grief because of each other's demise. , so Ronald Tang would have serious mental problems during those three months, which almost drove him crazy. The conclusion of a thesis is the day Ronald Down is cured of his mental problems, the day he dies and Norton comes back to life."

"But according to your report, he appeared in the White Emperor City as a perfect dragon king."

"Yes."

"Then it seems that his illness has recovered earlier."

"Principal, do you mean to say that he found a doctor in New York who is excellent enough to solve the Dragon King's persistent mental illness?" Lin Nian looked down at the document and said in a low voice, "What is that living Bian Que?"

"Psychotherapy should be counted as living Hippocrates?" Angers also whispered.

"Good job." Lin Nian put his hand on the cover of the 'S' classified document and wanted to open it. At this moment, Ange reached out and gently pressed the back of Lin Nian's hand to look into his eyes. "The Board of Trustees will be very unhappy about the Keel Cross issue."

Lin Nian looked up at Angers. He didn't know why the old man would bring up another topic when one topic was getting to a climax, but he looked at the old man's eyes that were entrenched, and he gradually relaxed his right hand on the document. "Actually, I'm still very curious, principal, how you persuaded the school board to use the keel cross as bait to join the 'Bronze Project'. In the eyes of those old guys, this is an absurd thing about buns beating dogs."

"I've never told them about the Keel Cross. If it wasn't for your mission report, they probably thought the Keel Cross was still lying in the Well of Annihilation." The principal said with a smile, "Has anyone told you, Hilbert Jean Angers is a lunatic who is willing to give up all the precious things in life in order to slay a dragon?"

"More than one person said that." Lin Nian looked at the cracks etched by time on the old man's smiling face, as if he could see the quagmire-like black past from there.

"That's why they call me the Destiny Dragon Slayer. The so-called Destiny Dragon Slayer never depends on the level of blood, but on how much you can dedicate to the mission of slaying dragons." The headmaster took a drink from the bone china cup with one hand Looking at the sweetness inside, the eyes flicked over the rim of the cup and landed on the boy's face, "And you are the next Dragon Slayer of Destiny that everyone is optimistic about."

"Dragon Slayer of Destiny?" Lin Nian chewed on the word, then chuckled in a self-deprecating manner, and looked up to see the silent face of the principal again.

"Shall_we?"

The old man grabbed Lin Nian's hand, that old hand was warm and strong, and helped them to open the cover of the document.The two pairs of eyes fell together with different emotions and light, illuminating the familiar photo and the familiar name that appeared on the first page of the top-secret document.

The principal's room was quiet for a long time. The sunlight falling from the skylight left clear traces on Lin Nian's head and side face until it blurred the photo of the beautiful girl on the white paper. The red squirrel stopped at the edge of the bookshelf and looked at Scattered light refracted in the jet-black pupils of the hanging head.

"She's always been a good psychiatrist, hasn't she?" the old man asked.

The boy's finger gently brushed the girl's cheek in the photo, leaving shallow wrinkles on the paper.

"always like this."
