Chapter 123 The Strongest in the Academy
Where should I start asking? Gu Ye was also in a dilemma at this time. There were too many things he wanted to know. He accidentally strayed into the world of mixed-bloods, just like an ignorant child who came to a big city.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Ye finally made up his mind. There were some things he had to know. He owed Chu Zihang this and he had to make up for it no matter what.
"Do you know an executive specialist named Chu Tianjiao?" Gu Ye looked into Principal Angers' eyes and asked seriously.
"Chu Tianjiao? This person doesn't seem to have appeared in our Kassel College." Principal Angers shook his head, without a trace of hesitation or evasion in his eyes, and it seemed that he was indeed not lying.
"No?" Gu Ye once again tasted the disappointment, a feeling full of bitterness and helplessness. Even he himself was a little depressed. He couldn't imagine how Chu Zihang had persisted for so long.
Chu Tianjiao seemed to exist in a parallel world that had nothing to do with Gu Ye and the others. Only Gu Ye and Chu Zihang still remembered him, and it seemed that no one else had any connection with him at all.
Maybe he really doesn't exist? Gu Ye couldn't help but think so in his heart, but the panel of the Dragon Lord would not be false. It was a power that was awakened after being killed by Odin once in Nibelung. Gu Ye still clearly remembered the feeling of being pierced by Kungunir.
"I have investigated the man named Chu Tianjiao. He is Chu Zihang's biological father, right?" Principal Angers patted Gu Ye's shoulder and said.
"Have you found any information about him?" Gu Ye had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe Chu Tianjiao was not the executive commissioner of Cassel? He was just affiliated with another organization similar to Cassel.
Gu Ye still remembered the box in Chu Tianjiao's hand. On it was a lush world tree, which was exactly the opposite of the half-rotten world tree on the emblem of Kassel College.
"According to my investigation, he seemed to have disappeared after divorcing Chu Zihang's mother, so I'm sorry...kid." Principal Angers sighed.
"I understand. Thank you, Principal." Gu Ye nodded. He suddenly thought of the Black Prince Group. Perhaps Principal Angers was just like them and had lost his memory of Chu Tianjiao after he was trapped in Nibelungen.
It seems that all the answers can only be found after meeting Odin again. No... maybe it won't take that long. Gu Ye recalled the clue about the Soul Lotus in the dream in the hospital.
Understanding the boundary between life and death is also a good breakthrough. Nibelung is the kingdom of the dead, and Soul Lotus has the ability to communicate with the underworld regardless of whether it is in the Night or Day camp.
"I was right about you, kid...you may go further than I did." Principal Angers sighed as he picked up his tea.
"Hmm?" Gu Ye raised his head and looked at Principal Angers in confusion. He didn't quite understand what the old man meant by this sentence.
"Remember, hatred alone will not allow you to go any further. That's why I chose to train you. I'm old now. I'm so old that I have only relied on my hatred for the dragon clan to hold on until now." Principal Angers rarely revealed a lonely expression.
"Principal, you seem to have a lot of stories to tell..." Gu Ye looked at the handsome old man in front of him and for the first time felt that he was like... a ghost in his twilight years.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Principal Angers shook his head and changed the subject.
"I have heard the explanation of Liu Yao, the Commissioner of the Executive Department, before. So will the world really be destroyed by the hands of the dragon clan?"
"Have you seen "2012"? " Principal Angers did not answer Gu Ye's question, but asked him back who was sitting opposite him.
"I've seen it. It is said that it was inspired by the Mayan prophecies." Gu Ye nodded.
"The Mayans were the most accurate astronomical observers in ancient times. They were even able to observe the back of the moon, which never faces the earth. They created the 'solar calendar', which is a calendar, history, and a book of prophecies." Principal Angers paused for a moment and continued.
"They also wrote the future into history because they believed that everything was already predetermined. The history of this world is limited and does not need to be extended infinitely. There are five solar eras in total. The first four solar eras had developed civilizations, but they all ended in destruction. Matlachtili was destroyed by floods, Iekotel was destroyed by wind snakes, Quiavilo was destroyed by fire and rain, and Zondrilic was destroyed by earthquakes."
"Fortunately, after every catastrophe, ancient civilizations were preserved. These civilizations opened up new solar eras, but there was no sixth. When the fifth solar era was over, there was nothing left. It was zero, emptiness, and the destruction of everything... neither dragons nor humans could survive that end."
"Does this sound familiar to you? Think carefully about the class Professor Schneider taught you recently." Principal Angers gave Gu Ye a hint.
"Floods, wind snakes, fire rain, earth changes... water, wind, fire, and earth, these are... the four great kings!" Gu Ye's eyes suddenly widened. The four great kings corresponding to the four elements, that is to say... whether it is Norse mythology or Mayan prophecies, can they be linked to the dragon clan?
"If we follow the prophecy, then the fifth time will definitely be... the Black King?"
"Maybe it's like this, none of us can say for sure... After all, all the prophecy books in history were not written by humans. Humans are just narrators. All of this is left behind by the dragon clan." Principal Angé stated a fact that Gu Ye had not expected.
"The dragon's prophecy is actually a prophecy of destruction, because in the dragon's worldview, destruction is the inevitable end of the world. Norse mythology is most deeply influenced by dragon culture. The mythology clearly records the endings of the gods, who will be killed by whom, and even Odin himself is no exception." "The development of Norse mythology is one-way, it will not repeat itself, and there are no branches, just like the silk thread spun on the loom of the three goddesses of fate, straight forward, all the way to death. This is also the worldview of the dragon. Every dragon king has predicted his own ending, but they still continue to cocoon and wake up, trying to resist fate."
"It sounds so sad..." Gu Ye sighed. Even though he was only half-believing and half-doubting Liu Yao's explanation before, after all, Liu Yao was just guessing. But after Principal Angers spoke, he finally felt the absurdity of this fate that had already been arranged.
"Whether it's Nordic or Mayan, or even myths from all over the world, there are prophecies of the destruction of the world. Under such a coincidence, all uncertainties have become facts that are bound to happen. This is the truth of this world." Principal Angers turned around and looked out the window, his voice filled with helplessness.
"There's still some time before 2012, right? I don't think you, Principal, will give up so easily." Now it is 2008, and there are still four years left. As long as there is a chance, Gu Ye will not give in easily.
"That's right, that's why I am so demanding of you and Chu Zihang. I have lived long enough, and I must train leaders who can overcome fate. I will do this at any cost!" said Principal Angers.
"In that case, why don't you tell me about Menech Cassel's secret treasure? Maybe it will be a great help. As his best friend, you should know the most about this, right?" Gu Ye remembered Finkel's words.
"Menech's secret treasure?" Angé turned around, as if he had thought of something, and then came to Gu Ye and looked at him seriously.
"Who told you that?"
"I found out through my own investigation." Gu Ye chose to hide the fact that it was Fengel who said it from Principal Angers. He always felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but he did not want to betray Fengel like this.
"The so-called secret treasure is not a treasure or a weapon, but a technology that uses spiritual means to instantly improve the purity of bloodline, allowing the ethnic group to gain power close to that of a pure-blooded dragon with a mixed-blood body." Principal Angers did not hide it, but chose to tell Gu Ye everything.
"There is a lion hidden in the bloodline of the hybrids. As long as you are willing to untie the ropes that bind the lion, you can gain its power. And it is you who bind this power. This is also the original purpose of the Lionheart Society."
"So that's how it is... Then joining the Lionheart Society might be a good choice." Gu Ye couldn't help but mutter to himself.
There are still four years left, and he doesn't want to give up any method of increasing his strength during these four years. If the Lionheart Society has such a secret technique, he doesn't mind joining.
"No, you don't need to join the Lionheart Society." Principal Angers interrupted Gu Ye's mumbling.
"The Lionheart Society and the Student Union will be your best right-hand men, but they are not your destiny. I hope you can become the most dazzling existence, surpassing and overriding these two organizations."
In Ange's opinion, Gu Ye and Lu Mingfei are different. Although they are both S-level, Gu Ye does not need this kind of training. He already has his own goals that he wants to stick to, and there is no need to add new ties.
"What does the principal mean?"
"I will tell you the secrets of the Lionheart Society, but you will need to take on a new task..." Principal Angers said with burning eyes.
"Face the challenge of the Lionheart Club and the Student Council and become the strongest in the academy!"
"Principal, you really think highly of me..." Gu Ye smiled. Being in the two most elite clubs of the two schools, the pressure was quite high.
"After all, you are the S-level student I am optimistic about. What do you think? Are you confident?" asked Principal Angers.
"Of course, you know... I never give up." Gu Ye nodded, his eyes still full of confidence.
"Very good, this is the courage that an S-level person should have." Principal Ange came to the bookshelf nearby, pulled out a sealed file bag from a hidden corner, and handed it to Gu Ye.
"This is your reward for one day of freedom. I look forward to your success again. After this, I will give you another reward and will not let you down."
"I'll wait and see." Gu Ye said goodbye to Angers and left the principal's office.
"These two children are both excellent. They will become the best fighters..." After Gu Ye left, Principal Angers raised his glass toward the window, as if he was commemorating someone.
