Standing behind Cao Han, acting as if she were invisible, Lucy Pallas stared wide-eyed with a look of utter disbelief.
In her view, the fact that her mentor Schneider smiled was as incredible as an iron tree blooming!
The student ID, two sets of school uniforms for winter and summer, and a Kassel College emblem, "The Half-Dead World Tree," a giant tree that is half withered and half thriving, one half extremely lush and the other half completely withered, symbolizing destruction and rebirth.
After handing everything over to Cao Han, Schneider wanted to continue speaking, but when he looked up, he saw Lucy Pallas, a student who was standing there like a wooden statue, which was a bit jarring and childish.
"Lucy Pallas, if I remember correctly, you have a Dragon Genealogy class later, right?"
"Oh right, I have class, so I'll be going now."
Once she realized what was happening, Lucy Pallas fled the office like a startled deer. "Junior, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
Before leaving, he didn't forget to make sure he got his attention from Cao Han.
Chapter 61 The Principal's Afternoon Tea (Please continue reading)
Trust is the foundation of communication.
When it came to the matter of "slaying the dragon," the people Cao Han trusted most at the entire Kassel College were Principal Angers and his mentor, von Schneider.
Both harbor a deep-seated hatred for dragons!
"I would like to apply to join your executive department, teacher."
Seeing that only the two of them were left in the office, Cao Han did not hide his thoughts.
His joining the Executive Department should be something that many people in the college are happy to see.
For the academy, it allows them to fully utilize their strength; for the individuals, killing pure-blooded dragons also grants them evolution points. It's like Qin Shi Huang looking in the mirror—a win-win situation!
and!
The hunting mission will refresh in less than 24 hours.
Cao Han, who will become an executive department specialist, will then be able to use the excuse of carrying out a mission to "smuggle in his own agenda" and complete his hunting mission.
Eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
The source of information should not be limited to Fingel alone.
The executives who routinely carry out various missions around the world are also an excellent source of information.
"it is good."
Regarding Cao Han joining the Execution Department, the two had already reached a preliminary consensus. As for the rule that freshmen cannot join the Execution Department, who cares?
Von Schneider opened the drawer on his right and took out an application form that he had prepared in advance.
"The basic information has been filled out. You just need to leave the address for the repatriation of the remains and sign your name at the end."
Address for repatriation of remains?
Upon seeing this, Cao Han couldn't help but smile. "Teacher, it must be difficult to leave behind any remains after fighting with the dragons, right?"
"That's true for pure-blooded dragons; what they leave behind are just cenotaphs. Generally, the missions carried out by executive department specialists involve dealing with more hybrids."
"That too."
This might just be a difference in thinking between different people. In any case, in Cao Han's eyes, 99% of mixed-race people could not pose a threat.
The only uncertain 1% exception is the legendary half-blood monarch.
A hybrid monarch is the strongest hybrid who has reached the end of the path to godhood and completely controlled the bloodline of the dragon race with human will.
The ultimate goal of the so-called Nibelungen Project was proposed by the Gattuso family in order to create a hybrid monarch who would be superior to the Dragon King.
The history of the struggle between humans and dragons is too long and hides too many secrets.
Cao Han couldn't say for sure whether there was a mixed-blood monarch hiding somewhere in the world, and he couldn't say for sure what his strength was unless he encountered him in person.
The section for the repatriation address of the remains was completely ignored; only a signature was given at the end.
He was completely alone in this world. When he died, his spirit vanished, and whether or not he left behind a body was of no importance!
After carefully putting the application form back into the drawer, von Schneider changed the subject and brought up the most important thing he wanted to discuss with Cao Han that day:
"Have you decided how to deal with the dragon's body?"
On the general direction of "slaying the dragon," von Schneider and Angers were absolutely aligned.
However, he also has his own judgments and ideas on some "details".
For example, when it comes to dealing with the second-generation dragon body that belongs to his student, he will not hesitate to favor Cao Han.
"To be honest, no!"
One thing Cao Han didn't tell anyone was that he wasn't sure if the second-generation dragon bone cross, after being devoured by the system, still contained the bloodline and power source of the dragon race.
What if all that's left is an empty shell?
Even assuming the system's absorption wouldn't affect the dragon's body, Cao Han had no experience in dealing with this.
"My suggestion is to hand over the dragon's body to the academy for processing. They are absolutely professional in this area, and you can also use this opportunity to obtain some benefits that you need."
"How would the school usually handle this?" Cao Han asked, somewhat curious.
"Dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon bones, and dragon tendons can be used to forge alchemical equipment; some internal organs and dragon blood can be used to make alchemical potions; and the remaining fifth element spirit can be combined with other elements to create the Philosopher's Stone, and so on..."
Our motto is that not a single drop should be wasted!
Cao Han got goosebumps just listening to it, and could only chuckle awkwardly and reply, "Sounds very professional!"
Since von Schneider had brought it up, he followed up with the suggestion Fingel had given him the night before: "Teacher, do you think it's feasible for me to exchange this corpse for Norma's access?"
“Norma…” Schneider raised an eyebrow and looked thoughtfully at the boy in front of him. This choice was completely unexpected.
As the head housekeeper of Kassel College, Norma has an overwhelming number of trivial matters to handle every day.
Students with different bloodline ratings have different usage privileges.
If all goes well, Cao Han will be able to obtain the corresponding S-level Norma usage rights if he successfully passes the "3E exam" and obtains an S-level bloodline rating.
S-level privileges are still among the highest in the academy, but after Fingel's detailed explanation, he was not entirely satisfied with that.
Let’s use an analogy.
There is a significant difference in authority between C-level and S-level within the academy, but under no circumstances should you exceed the authority range of the "third level".
Above that lies the "second level" of authority for each tenured professor and department head, including von Schneider, the head of the executive department.
The "first-level" access is reserved for the board members of Kassel College, and this level of access grants them access to the true core secrets of the Secret Service.
In addition, there is a little-known level of authority, which can also be said to be Norma's other personality, "EVA" in war mode.
If Fingel had mentioned it to Cao Han, he probably wouldn't have known there were so many intricacies involved.
Von Schneider was also considering the possibility of this "deal," saying, "It's unlikely you'll get the highest authority unless you replace Angers as principal."
"Level 2 access is sufficient; I'm not interested in the secrets of the Secret Service."
Cao Han wasn't just making this up.
Could the secrets of the White House be as big as the secrets he possesses?!
A pure-blooded dragon race of the third generation, a transmigrator, a powerful heir...
Ask him which of his secrets isn't more explosive than the clandestine secrets that the secret society keeps hidden away!
"If it's a level 2 access, I think it's fine."
After much deliberation, Schneider could only deduce that Cao Han wanted to obtain higher access to Norma in order to acquire information.
As for what kind of information to obtain, and what to do with the information after obtaining it, that remains a big question mark.
Regardless of the circumstances, now that Cao Han has made his decision, his teacher, of course, would offer his full support.
"Regarding the courses, I promised before that I wouldn't force you, but as your mentor, I still recommend that you take some general education courses, such as the course 'Dragon Family Genealogy'."
"Dragon Family Genealogy" is a required course for first-year students, and it's the only course that no student would dare to skip.
Because the lecturer for this course is named Hilbert Jean Angers!
Schneider's suggestion was a wake-up call for Cao Han. Some advanced knowledge courses were not very useful to him, but these general knowledge courses could improve his understanding of the Dragon Clan world.
Norma had already sent Cao Han the course selection list for freshman year, and the course that interested him the most was "The Study of Words".
The core content of the course "The Study of Words" is to help students understand the various kinds of words recorded on the periodic table.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. While gaining a deeper understanding of the various extended uses of your own Words of Power, you must also fully understand the effects of your opponent's Words of Power.
We can't fight for half a day and still not understand what kind of spiritual power our opponent is.
Because "Tongzi Ge" has the ability to devour the bloodline of the dragon race and plunder the power of words, Cao Han can selectively choose some suitable power of words to target.
Thinking of this, Cao Han nodded and agreed to Schneider's request. He would then choose some basic courses that interested him to broaden his knowledge.
----------
The afternoon sun pierced through the clouds, bathing the British-style room in a beautiful golden hue.
"The Principal's Afternoon Tea is a traditional event at Kassel College, and only the most outstanding students are invited."
Don't underestimate this honor. Other students often don't even have a chance to sit here for tea in four years, but you're sitting in that spot on your second day at school.
Principal Angers poured a stream of deep red water, carrying fine white steam, from the bone china teapot into a porcelain cup. "Pre-rain Longjing tea, produced in your country. Even the old British nobles have to learn from you when it comes to drinking tea. It's fragrant and has a sweet aftertaste. You should try it."
"Good tea."
Cao Han didn't stand on ceremony with Angers, but his method of drinking the tea was somewhat wasteful of such good tea.
He doesn't know anything about good or bad tea; anyway, it tastes pretty good in my mouth.
"Judging from this, I should prepare some drinks that you young people like to drink."
The design and layout of the principal's office are excellent. The air is filled with a faint scent of wood, and the old wood has a rich, oily sheen. The two-story bookshelves, reaching all the way to the ceiling, are piled high with books. The winding wooden staircase divides the space into small sections, resembling a giant birdcage.
On the surface, the two appeared to be simply enjoying afternoon tea in a relaxed manner.
However, deep down they all knew that this was like a tug-of-war, and it was a matter of who would lose patience and fall into a disadvantageous position first.
Angers picked up the tea set and stood up, then slowly walked over to Cao Han's side and poured him more tea.
"Actually, the principal could have assigned me the heavy work of moving chairs."
Just moments ago, Cao Han noticed a change in the flow of time around him, and then, with his abnormally sharp dynamic vision, he could clearly see Angers move his chair next to Cao Han.
