Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 668 You are no longer a tool (1)

"I don't understand." Finkel tried to confuse it.

"Don't you understand? Finkel, how many years have we known each other?"

"About ten years."

"Well, when I first saw you, you were about the same age as Chu Zihang and the others. Now you are in your early thirties. When I was organizing the Navy SEALs in CN, I often heard local elders say that a person should be independent at the age of thirty. I say all this nonsense to tell you that you have changed a lot. The incident in the Greenland Sea wiped out your thoughts, leaving only hatred. Ange once told me that you are only suitable to be a tool. Haters who have lost their thoughts cannot make plans. But now you have thoughts, Leviathan is dead, and EVA is back. I don't see hatred in you. Do you still hate dragons?"

"So that's what you want to ask... Vice Principal, I can assure you that I will be absolutely loyal to you..."

Flamel interrupted Finkel and said, "I just need you to answer my questions. I don't have much confidence that the academy can survive this disaster. Be honest and tell the truth. What did you experience in the Greenland Sea? What is your attitude now? You are hiding things from me. Many years ago, Angers told me that we old guys are warriors on the dragon-slaying battlefield, and we are also the elders and teachers of the students in the academy. It is our duty to care about the students. Everyone will be in trouble, and we should send them to do things that are not difficult."

After talking about this, Finkel gradually lost his casualness and humor.

He kept a serious face and listened quietly to Flamel's story.

"When you came back from the Greenland Sea, you were not the only one who was sad. I was too. You and EVA were both my students. Your excellence made me see the possibility of Flamel's inheritance. But EVA stayed in the Greenland Sea, and your temperament changed drastically. You were not interested in the research of alchemy technology. After you, I never accepted any students again. When it comes to education, I am no match for Angers, and I didn't do a very good job of caring for my students. After all, I can't even remember my son's age." Flamel said a few words and took a sip of wine.

There was a blaze of gunfire outside, but he remained unmoved and continued, "Just now they recognized you very much. In their hearts, your authority is greater than mine. I represent the academy, and logically, you should also represent the academy. But why are they looking at you and waiting for your orders? Because you have parted ways with the academy. Since the incident has already happened, I don't blame them, I just want to understand it clearly. Since the incident in Angers, everything has been a mess. I was so busy that I was exhausted, and in the end, nothing was handled properly."

Finkel heard the self-blame in Flamel's words.

Anyone would blame themselves if they were in his situation. For Flamel, the academy has become a place like home.

"Drink less, teacher." Finkel took Flamel's wine jug.

He called Flamel "teacher," as he had done long ago.

On that bright and sunny noon, Flamel accepted two students, Fingel and EVA.

They also called out "Teacher" in the same way.

Later, the war with dragons caused the names of each other to change.

"Your guesses are all correct. If there was no evidence, I would have been on the execution platform long ago." Finkel sighed, "This is also because I didn't think it through. I thought you would believe me unconditionally, teacher."

"So you really became a traitor?" Flamel's voice trembled slightly.

Like a mountain trembling, the mountain of alchemy in the hybrid world.

"Not really." Finkel said, "I just met some monsters and learned some things. Gradually, I felt that what they said made sense. Teacher, when I came back from the Greenland Sea ten years ago, I told you that I couldn't be a hero. Now I want to say that I can't be a tool either."

"What did Loki tell you?"

"I can answer this question, but teacher, can you answer me a question first? Teacher, do you think there are any good dragons among dragons?"

When Flamel heard this question, the disappointment on his face deepened. "We, the mixed-bloods, are not qualified to answer this question. As the younger generation, our ancestors were the weaker party."

Finkel nodded in agreement with Flamel's statement.

What's the problem? In this war, how can the weak have the right to judge the strong?

"Teacher, you have said a lot, and we are not qualified to answer. So I never dared to answer myself, but this question has always lingered in my mind. Have you seen the girl named Xia Mi? She dances like an elf, so beautiful. If she were not a dragon, I think she would be the most popular girl in the academy and also very outstanding." Finkel said.

"That's her disguise," Flamel said.

"Disguise? Teacher, people have many faces, let alone dragons? Who knows if it is a disguise? Besides, Ronald Tang, if he can't remember his identity as a dragon, he will probably be a small warmth in this world... In order to solve his trouble and force Lu Mingfei, we made him remember everything. His anger affected innocent people on two streets. He is a dragon, and he is also the tool we use to force Lu Mingfei. Who is the culprit, the dragon or us? We seem to be stained with more blood."

“War inevitably involves sacrifice.”

"But such sacrifices on my head are like the sky falling. For this war, a few lives are just dust. But for those innocent people, it is like a mountain falling on them. I am not afraid of sacrifice, I just feel that such behavior is immoral and incorrect. Maybe you will think I am naive. Only those who survived the war can talk about these things."

"You are indeed childish."

"That's because a guy told me that he has a way to resolve the long-standing conflict between dragons and hybrids without sacrificing anyone. Good people and dragons will have the right to survive, and the evil ones will die. Have you seen a miracle, teacher?"

Flamel immediately thought of the resurrection of EVA and the others, "Were they...rescued by Loki?"

"Yes, teacher."

"Do you know the origins of the Eight Snake Clans?"

"I understand, but I feel that Loki is not the White Emperor, even though he is full of lies. He has done a lot for me. Lu Mingfei told me that we have all forgotten Loki's true identity. He was once a student of the academy."

Finkel finally began to tell the story of his second trip to the Greenland Sea, and this time he told the truth.

He no longer held back and spoke slowly, carefully controlling the amount of wine he drank. Once the wine was finished, the conversation would be over.

Flamel didn't expect the real situation to be like this, and even at the age of over a hundred he couldn't understand such a thing.

The dragons avenged the hybrids and gave them the dragon bone cross as a gift.

Is this a gesture of goodwill or a request for peace?

What kind of creatures are dragons?

After Finkel finished speaking, he finished his drink.
