The afternoon sunlight lazily poured into the room from the window, and then spread evenly on the table. In the white bone china cup on the table, the tea with a slight golden halo rippled slightly in the sunlight.

This is the principal's office of Kassel College. Across a large desk, Mu Qingzhi is having afternoon tea with Principal Angers.

Just like the bloody and tearful accusations from Xia Mi's mouth yesterday, after waking up from a deep sleep, Mu Qingzhi's body functions had actually returned to normal. After being pressed down by Zero and undergoing a tedious and detailed examination, she passed away that night. Just left the hospital.

The New Year has passed, and she has been asleep for such a long time, and the school season has arrived. Thanks to their previous excellent performance in the [Bronze Plan], although they did not attend a single class last year, But he still got full marks in the assessment results.

——As the student with the best performance in the Bronze Plan, she was honored to be invited by the principal to have afternoon tea.

In Kassel College, being invited by the principal for afternoon tea is a more coveted honor than the principal's scholarship... although Mu Qingzhi has no real feelings about it.

……afternoon tea? She only knows about late night snacks.

She was really not used to drinking tea and eating desserts. Although the waffles sprinkled with rose water were delicious, the portion was a bit too small. She only ate a few pieces, and the dessert box on the table was already empty. .

...too stingy.

"Dessert is not what you eat. Also, afternoon tea is a good British tradition passed down from the Victorian era."

Looking at the dessert box that quickly bottomed out within a few minutes, Ange's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly. Faced with the look in the eyes of the girl in front of him as if he was looking at a stingy, he sighed helplessly. , he pushed over a cup of tea that had just been poured.

"Darjeeling No. 2 black tea, would you like to try it?"

"black tea……"

Looking at the bone china cup in front of her, after thinking for a moment, Mu Qingzhi first picked up the cup and took a sip, then quickly put the cup back to its original position.

The next moment, under the slightly twitching gaze of the principal in front of her, she took out a can of frozen Coke from her pocket...

——At this point, the afternoon tea atmosphere that Angers had worked hard to create and was proud of was completely destroyed.

While drinking Coke, Mu Qingzhi looked around.

Although she said she had been to the principal's office several times before, the timing of those visits was not right. It was either at night or in a hurry. It was during this rare free time in the afternoon that she discovered this. The principal's office is a little different.

The principal's office is not far from the Hall of Valor. It is an inconspicuous two-story building surrounded by trees. From the outside, it looks as simple as a garage, but inside, it feels completely different.

Rather than saying it is the principal's office, it is better to say that the entire room is a large bookshelf. The first and second floors are opened up. On the central patio is a huge skylight, inlaid with frosted glass, covered with books that fell last fall. Leaves.

Because of this unique design, the lighting in the principal's room is quite good, and the sun shines warmly on people.

As for the four walls of the room, in addition to the oil paintings, there are bookshelves that are as high as the ceiling. There are sets of hardcover books and rubbings of ancient books on them. The stairs and platforms attached to the bookshelves are high and low, which is very similar to the bookshelves of the last century. The unique retro style in the museum.

"How about it? The layout of my office is good, right?"

Looking at the girls looking around curiously in front of him, Ange showed a slightly proud look on his face.

"It has a sense of the times and suits you very well, principal."

Mu Qingzhi nodded and withdrew her gaze and made her own comments.

"Okay, let's get down to business. If you like to eat waffles, you can take some away later. This is a specialty I brought back from a seaside city in Italy."

With a slight smile in his mouth, Angers spoke.

"First of all, I want to express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for you, this bronze plan would have completely wiped out our army... We mistakenly underestimated the power of a king."

"More than that, you underestimated even more."

Putting the Coke in her hand back on the table, Mu Qingzhi shook her head slightly.

"A Norton in a state of madness is not at all his full strength. He can only be regarded as a large wooden man."

"The wooden dummy...is indeed quite appropriate."

Recalling the detailed report he had seen before, Angers showed a wry smile on his face.

"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask the principal directly. I have to go see Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei later, otherwise the porridge and chicken soup I prepared earlier will get cold."

After waving her hands, Mu Qingzhi spoke.

"Don't worry, no matter what the question is, I will tell you everything. Whether you want to know Norton's past or anything else, I can answer it in detail."

"...If that's the case, then I'll boldly ask."

After a moment of silence, Angers nodded and looked up at her.

"First of all... Is Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, really dead?"

"Huh? Why did you doubt this in the first place?"

Looking at Principal Ange in front of her, Mu Qingzhi looked curious.

"Didn't Dragon Cross Academy get it? That thing should be the best proof, right?"

"Yes, we did get the dragon bone cross, and after Flamel's confirmation, it was also confirmed that it is Norton's dragon bone cross. But because of this, I feel a little doubtful."

Angers looked into her eyes.

"With your kind of character, you don't seem to be willing to kill the other party...especially when the other party is obviously being calculated. Facing Norton, you will only try to save the other party, and you will never They will want to kill the other party once and for all.”

Mu Qingzhi: "..."

...So I really look like a good guy?

"I cannot give an answer to this question at the moment."

After a moment of pondering, Mu Qingzhi raised her head and looked at Ange in front of her.

"What I can say now is that the dragon bone cross is not as important as you think. It was an item born out of a certain king's desire for revenge. It is a truly ominous object."

"……Understood."

Listening to the girl's words, his eyes flickered slightly, and Ange nodded thoughtfully.

Ever since he obtained the dragon bone cross, he had lived in peace every day since then. There were too many forces coveting the dragon bone in his hand, including the behemoth of the Secret Party.

In the past week, he had received ten calls from the school board alone, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

——But now, he seems to know how to deal with that hot potato.
