Chapter 241 What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly
"Master Chu, aren't you going out for some fun... No, I mean to go out and look for clues?" In Chu Zihang's room, Finkel looked at him who was busy and spoke, and by the way, he did not forget to take away the food on the dining cart in the room.
When he got up, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. He went to other rooms and found that everyone else had gone out. After looking around, he found that only Chu Zihang was still staying in the hotel.
So now he, who is unfamiliar with the place, can only accompany Chu Zihang and watch him input incomprehensible codes on the computer. Sometimes he really wonders if Susie has any special hobbies, otherwise why would she like Chu Zihang, a complete workaholic.
"If you want to go, just go by yourself. There's no need to drag me along." Chu Zihang spoke without turning his head, his fingers jumping on the keyboard.
"If I knew about this place, I wouldn't stay with you. I would have run away like them..." Finkel sighed, picked up the bowl of dark green liquid on the dining cart and took a sip.
"Pfft! Damn it! What's that smell? It feels like a stinky sock that has been fermenting for days!"
The sour and refreshing feeling at the entrance made Finkel spit out the contents of his mouth instantly, and his brows were furrowed.
"Douzhi, a genuine old Yanjing specialty." Chu Zihang turned his head and looked at Finkel, whose facial features were squeezed together, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“This is the hotel’s signature breakfast.”
"How can this be breakfast? This is murder!" Finkel put the bowl back into the dining car, stuck out his tongue and retched.
"Be careful not to dirty the information I put on the bed. I will need it later."
"I got it..." After dry heaving for a while, Finkel finally felt much better. He tiptoed across the documents on the floor and came to Chu Zihang.
"By the way, where did the others go? I just looked for them and couldn't see any of them."
"Gu Ye and Xia Mi are in one group, Caesar and Nuo Nuo are in another group, and they all went to the city to look for clues. As for Lu Mingfei... he should be there too, right? I just don't know who he's going to be a light bulb for." Chu Zihang said.
"Oh! I understand. No wonder you don't go out. It turns out you don't want to be a light bulb!" Finkel showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
This can explain why I didn't receive any notification and slept until eleven o'clock. The two couples were ostensibly here to carry out a mission, but in fact they were going on a date.
"We really are brothers in distress..." Finkel patted Chu Zihang's shoulder with some sympathy.
"Let me, your senior brother, accompany you, Junior Brother Chu Zihang."
"You? Forget it, I already have someone to accompany me." Chu Zihang raised his head, looked at Finkel, and shook his head.
At this time, Susie's voice came from the computer: "The data model has been analyzed. Do you want to transfer it?"
"No way? Did you betray me too?" Hearing Susie's voice, Finkel took two steps back as if struck by lightning, covering his aching chest.
Everyone is a couple when carrying out the mission together, and even Lu Mingfei is favored by a rich woman. Except for myself, a real single dog, everyone else already has a partner?
"Is there anyone around you?" Susie asked doubtfully. She seemed to hear a strange sound.
"It's nothing, it's just that Finkel is here. Go ahead and send the model over for me to see." Chu Zihang said.
Finkel chuckled twice and sat aside dejectedly in silence. He suddenly felt very tired and it would be better to let Fenrir destroy the world.
"Don't try to be lazy. You are the intelligence specialist for this mission. You should be the one investigating the clues."
"Okay, okay... I get it..." Finkel sighed and turned on the computer next to Chu Zihang. It seemed that he had to be a light bulb even if he didn't want to.
Chu Zihang pressed the Enter key, and the data was loaded into the data model that Susie had just completed. In an instant, countless ripples appeared on the projected map on the wall of the hotel, as if it was a calm lake and Chu Zihang had just sprinkled a handful of fine sand into it.
"What are you doing?" Finkel asked puzzledly.
"They went to investigate, but Yanjing's location is very special, and the city is full of traces of dragons. There are dragon veins in the geography, dragons and phoenixes on royal stone carvings, descendants of dragons lying in the four corners of the hall, and even the turtles carrying stone tablets are of dragon species..."
"China takes the dragon as its totem, so the remaining information about the dragon clan should be the most, but too much messy information has hidden the core information we are looking for. The messy information I have now is the earthquake data in Yanjing city and its surrounding areas since this year." Chu Zihang picked up the laser pen and pointed at the projected map.
"Do you want to use this data to find the trace of the Dragon King?" Finkel was not a fool and he understood Chu Zihang's idea in an instant.
"Yes, Fenrir is the king of the earth and mountains. His appearance will definitely bring about changes in the earth's crust, so if we can find the source of frequently occurring earthquakes, perhaps we can locate it." Chu Zihang nodded.
"You are worthy of being a top student. You can come up with such a good idea." Finkel praised.
"But you really make us all look stupid..."
"No, if you really want to say it, you might be the only one who is still here." Chu Zihang said.
"Ok?"
"Gu Ye is planning to go out in a high-profile manner to attract the attention of the hunters and buy me some time. Caesar has special channels with the Gattuso family, so he is most likely going to ask directly. As for Lu Mingfei... If I'm not mistaken, he should be looking for an opportunity to meet that woman named Su Enxi again, in order to get more detailed information from her." Chu Zihang paused and looked Finkel up and down.
"You are the only one who slept until eleven without any purpose."
"Please let me go, it really hurts..." Finkel has never felt so useless. He thought they were all going on a date, but now he is the only clown.
"But there are still places where we need you." Chu Zihang spoke again.
"Brother Chu, I'll go through fire and water! What do you want me to do?" Fenrir patted his chest, acting as if he was ready to charge at any time.
If it really goes unused, it would be a complete loss of face. Not to mention myself, even the vice-president would definitely use the belt on his pants to clean up the mess if he heard about it. "Please collect the rumors of special events in all places in Yanjing. The earthquake caused by the Dragon King should be accompanied by some special events. Gossip is your specialty..." Chu Zihang said.
"Don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but I am a professional gossip!" Finkel seemed to be ignited in an instant.
On the other side, Wangfujing Street in Yanjing.
This street, which has been extremely glorious since the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, spans across Dongcheng District and Xicheng District and belongs to the absolute city center area. Xia Mi and Gu Ye are strolling aimlessly on this street.
"Did you notice?" Xia Mi, who was holding Gu Ye's wrist, whispered in his ear.
"Well, I thought there would be more people paying attention to us, but there are only about ten." Gu Ye nodded.
The original purpose of this trip was to attract enough mixed-bloods and bring them to the Nibelungen at the subway station, but Gu Ye did not expect that not many people came.
"Is there something wrong?" Xia Mi was a little confused.
Logically speaking, whether it is the group of old nobles or the bounty hunters, they should be the most concerned about Cassel without much intelligence.
After all, the last time the Dragon King died was at the hands of the students of Kassel Academy, so they would definitely not relax their surveillance of Kassel this time. But now there are only so few people, which is a bit too strange.
"There is a problem, but...can't we just ask?" Gu Ye looked at the young man walking towards him.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gu Ye, I'm Oswell, Oswell Spencer." Spencer smiled and extended his hand to Gu Ye.
"Spencer? British?" Gu Ye glanced at Spencer. This surname is not simple.
The oldest ancestor of the Spencer family was Robert le De Spencer, Earl of Winchester, a royal butler who served William the Conqueror. He was also the ancestor of Hugh le De Spencer, a good friend of King Edward II of England. In this way, the family originated in the 11th century and was a genuine aristocratic family with a history of nearly a thousand years.
This may sound a bit too far-fetched, but there is a well-known figure who also comes from a branch of the Spencer family. That is Churchill, who is known as the Iron-blooded Prime Minister. His full name is Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.
Are these old nobles finally unable to hold back? Gu Ye stretched out his hand, shook it with Spencer, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, what can I do for you, Mr. Spencer?"
"I'm here to make a deal with Mr. Gu Ye. If possible, please do me and this lady a favor." Spencer said.
"Do you want to go and take a look? Gu Ye?" Xia Mi raised her head and looked at Gu Ye.
"Let's go. I'm very curious about what kind of deal you will propose." Gu Ye spoke after a moment of silence.
Since we don't know what went wrong, we might as well take the initiative to attract them in. The more Nibelungen audiences, the better...
In the cafe, Spencer took the coffee brought by the waiter to the sound of soothing music and looked at Gu Ye apologetically.
"I'm sorry that I can only communicate with you here. I originally wanted to buy a quiet property, but as you know... the housing prices in the Second Ring Road are already astronomical."
It is ironic that with the rapid rise in housing prices, even the thousand-year-old aristocrat Spencer has to consider whether it is worth it.
"It's okay, just say what you want to say." Gu Ye said indifferently.
"Then I'll make it short. I hope Mr. Gu Ye can give up Cassel and cooperate with us." Spencer said.
"The secret party led by the Gattuso family is too stubborn. They don't understand what the death of the Dragon King means."
"Oh? What does it represent?" Gu Ye asked.
"We are far superior to humans and should be the rulers, but for so many years, we have carefully concealed our identities. Isn't it because the shadow of the dragon clan is still there? They may be resurrected at any time, and we are always on guard. We don't want to be seen as enemies by both dragons and humans at the same time. But now we have finally found a way to kill the Dragon King, and we are about to get rid of this shadow. Nothing can restrain us anymore, and our influence will spread throughout the world! This will be our most glorious era!" Spencer became more and more excited and couldn't help but stand up.
"And you, Mr. Gu Ye, you will be the creator of a new era. As long as you are willing, the entire mixed-blood world will open its doors to you!"
"Then what do I need to pay?" Gu Ye ignored the excited Spencer and spoke calmly.
"It's simple. First and foremost, the Holy Grail... I mean the dragon bone... you can't monopolize it." Spencer said excitedly.
"If we can, we'll do it for a reasonable enough sum of money. A sum that won't disappoint you."
"how many?"
"Shares in companies owned by mixed-blood nobles around the world, as well as... their outstanding descendants, will be open to you," Spencer said.
"I think this lady should understand that such an outstanding person will not belong to you alone. Only by allowing him to reproduce as many offspring as possible can we usher in an era that truly belongs to the mixed-blood race."
"Oh my..." When Gu Ye heard Spencer's words, he subconsciously moved because he felt like a volcano was about to erupt.
"You're in trouble, Mr. Spencer."
"What..." Before Spencer could react, overwhelming pressure appeared in the cafe.
Xia Mi stood up with a smile, her golden eyes lit up, and she spoke word by word.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again, Mr. Spencer?"
