Chapter 1457 Rumors
"Senior brother, senior brother, are they true that you have killed more than double digits of dragons with your own hands?"
"That depends on how you define dragons. If Deadpool is also considered a dragon, it's true."
"Deadpool? What is that? I never learned it in the textbook."
"You will learn. If your target is the execution department, you will always have the opportunity to see them in the future, and even kill a few with your own hands."
"What about dragons? Senior brother, have you ever killed pure-blood dragons? What are those dragons like? Are they the same as in the textbooks?"
"It is recorded in traditional Chinese folk culture that dragons have nine different shapes. The actual meaning is that dragons can imitate various forms of flesh by mastering the elements and bodies. They will even appear in your body in the form of humans. At present, we cannot trust everything recorded in the textbooks, at least until the textbooks are updated.”
"So, senior brother, what are the dragons you have seen like?"
"There are some that look like humans, and some that look like monsters. It's hard for me to describe to you what they look like. Maybe no animal or known made-up image can describe them directly. They are dragons, and they fit your description. Everything you learned about them in the textbooks describes them, but when they are actually presented to you, you will find that they are completely different from what you originally imagined.”
"Senior brother, do you think it is more difficult to deal with a dragon in human form, or a dragon as tall as a monster?"
"It depends on the individual, I'm suited to dealing with smaller targets, it comes down to the way I fight."
"Setsuna! That's right! I heard someone say that, brother, your word spirit is Setsuna. It's like the fusion of The Flash and Superman. It's so handsome!"
"..."
In the early morning, there was no one in the main dining room of Kassel College. The light blue sky shined through the hollow lace windows and fell on the dinner plates placed symmetrically on the table.
Lin Nian was holding a spoon in his hand. There was a large plate of tender yellow eggs on the plate, and a glass of orange juice beside it. The Korean elementary school girl named Jin Jiyuan sitting opposite her was sitting with him for breakfast... Instead of It's better to say it's breakfast than an alternative fan meeting.
"Senior brother, dragon genealogy is the principal's class, right? That cool old man dresses like a father who is attending his daughter's wedding every time he attends class."
"If possible, call him Principal Angers. Although he is indeed a cool old man, if someone from the Heat team hears you talking about the principal like this in public, you will get yourself into trouble." Lin Nianbao I put a spoonful of tender eggs in my mouth and swallowed it without chewing. I ate a little hastily and I didn't know if I tasted it or not.
"Oh oh oh, is that so? Is this what everyone calls the unspoken rules of survival in Kassel College?" The elementary school girl's eyes almost glowed golden when she stared at Lin Nian, and she felt in her heart that the senior brother who taught the junior girl the rules of survival in the college was simply too good to be true. Don’t be too cool, “Are there any other unspoken rules like this?”
"Yes, for example, stay away from the News Department, especially a guy named Fingel von Flins. If he approaches you and talks to you, you'd better put on your 'mean face', otherwise you'll look like Freshmen like you will be eaten to the bone."
"Fingel...Von...Flings...OK, I've written it down." The elementary school girl carefully took notes on her mobile phone covered with rhinestones. "By the way, senior brother, I learned about the four monarchs in dragon genealogy. When the principal was giving a lecture, he said that we are the luckiest generation because we have witnessed the history that is happening - the fall of the Dragon King. Is there anything out there? Few people say that the death of the Dragon King is a conspiracy between us and orthodoxy, just like the Apollo moon landing, senior brother, you see..."
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true." Lin Nian said lightly, "Except for the King of Bronze and Fire, it is difficult to define the state of life and death. Fenrir in the King of Earth and Mountain is definitely dead, and Jormungandr is at large. , but one day we will host her too.”
"Regarding this issue...Senior brother, there is a rumor that you have heard of...Of course, it is just a rumor, and many of us don't believe it..."
When Lin Nian was eating the tender eggs, he glanced at the elementary school girl. The expression on her face was that curiosity and the desire to survive were fighting each other. In the end, curiosity trumped the desire to survive. He asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Lin Nian, I heard that "In the dragon-slaying battle in Bei'an, it was because of Senior Brother Lu Mingfei's wrong decision that Jörmungandr managed to escape. Because of this, you two had a falling out... Is this true or false?"
Lin Nian put down the spoon that was about to be placed in his mouth and asked calmly, "Who did you listen to?"
The air suddenly became quiet. It was obvious that the entire canteen was quiet enough with just one table of people, but now, it seemed that even quiet was not enough to describe the further deathly silence. The birds chirping at dawn outside the window and the fragrance of flowers disappeared.
Jin Jiwon's heart skipped a beat for a few seconds, and she stood up almost out of reflex.
When she heard Lin Nian's words, her heart skipped a beat, and her heart was squeezed by an invisible force. She felt as if she had really offended the other person. She quickly got up and stood at the dining table and bent down to apologize. She was so fast that she didn't know she was Korean. Still Japanese, "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, senior brother, I heard this from hearsay. I shouldn't have heard such rumors in the first place..."
Halfway through the words, the door of the main restaurant opened, and a few girls who had a student union party that ended at dawn and came to have breakfast came in. When they walked in, chatting and laughing, they happened to see Kim Ji-won bowing fiercely to apologize. They were stunned for a moment and saw clearly. Whoever was sitting at the dining table, after feeling the terrible atmosphere, they all turned around and left neatly, not wanting to get into this muddy water.
What did that fresh girl do to offend Lin Nian? Lin Nian is famous for his good temper. He had to sigh that this girl was a talent.
"Sit down." Lin Nian said lightly, not wanting to cause misunderstanding.
Jin Zhiyuan sat down with some trepidation. She was ready to be slapped by Lin Nian and severely bullied. At least in her own country, there was basically no place to complain if she said something wrong.
The moment Lin Nian's tone and eyes changed, even if he didn't target her too much, Jin Zhiyuan, who was sitting across the table, felt the extremely uncomfortable tension, as if the atmosphere of the entire restaurant was locked by the other party's words, and her golden eyes were almost scared out.
But in fact, Lin Nian didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and his golden eyes didn't even ignite. Maybe it was just that his spirit had never relaxed after that battle, causing some factors in his bloodline to release pheromones that were extremely dangerous to normal creatures when they were slightly tense. It was also... a sequelae.
"Why do you think so?" Lin Nian picked up the spoon again to eat his tender eggs.
"No, no, no, it's not me who thinks so, it's just those rumors..."
"Then let me put it another way. Why do you think those who spread the rumors think so?"
Jin Zhiyuan opened her mouth and felt a little dry. She didn't dare to drink the water on the table. Her heart beat faster for no reason. Her whole body was secreting nervous pheromones, and adrenaline began to synthesize.
It was not until that moment just now that she really realized why the senior across the table had always been regarded as a myth by all the predecessors, but she didn't see how many people really lingered around this senior every day.
According to the habits of her hometown, such a star senior should have been pursued by a group of people, following from morning to night, getting close to him as soon as there was a chance, and then creating opportunities to eat him up, especially if he was not married yet.
As for a girlfriend, is that a problem? Jin Zhiyuan has experienced many battles. As long as the hoe is used well, what corner can't be dug? Having a girlfriend is even simpler, because the opponent is clear at once, there is only one, not a broad and vague definition of a so-called good woman.
Not to mention, Jin Zhiyuan heard gossip that the awesome senior has been in a cold war with his girlfriend recently. They haven't been seen together for a long time. This has made many girls in the school eager to make a move, but no one has been the first to try.
She was curious why no one dared to flirt with this senior. She once thought that the girls admitted to Kassel College were all ladies from noble families and had no courage to flirt with men. So she dressed up well, thinking that she was a golden branch and jade leaf who had fought out of the chaebol and was not stained by the world. She wanted to try to flirt with this mythical senior while doing her business... and then fucked up.
Now, she finally knows why not many girls dare to provoke this senior. This is not the deterrent power of the chaebol young master smashing a cup and beating a woman in anger... This is the real dragon's power. The chaebol young master slapping a hundred glasses on the face is not as good as that calm question.
"Don't be too nervous, I don't mean to blame you." Lin Nian said slowly.
That's what he said, but Long Wei wasn't kidding.
Jin Zhiyuan tried to calm herself down as much as possible, not to cry or tremble when speaking. Experience told her that emotional instability at this time was the worst.
"I heard a lot of them say... Senior Brother Lu Mingfei moved out of the Lion Heart Club after returning to the academy and returned to the public dormitory because of Senior Brother Lin Nian's exclusion. There are also rumors that Senior Brother Lin Nian wanted to expel Senior Brother Lu Mingfei from the Lion Heart Club, but he couldn't find a reason, so you and him have been in a cold war..."
"I excluded Lu Mingfei?" Lin Nian raised his head slightly, stared at the ceiling for a while, then lowered his head and took a big sip of orange juice, "That's not the case."
It turned out that the problems left over from that time had not been dealt with during this period. Has public opinion fermented to this extent...
"Senior Brother said that it was not the case, so it must not be the case." Jin Zhiyuan immediately promised to follow the party... Oh no, it was to follow Senior Brother Lin Nian, and what he said was what it was.
"During this period, I really didn't pay much attention to the outside world. I was resting alone and sorting out some previous things... Are there any other rumors about me?" Lin Nian asked.
"And... uh, I heard that Senior Brother Lin Nian excluded Senior Brother Lu Mingfei because Senior Brother Chu Zihang interfered. Didn't one of the Kings of the Earth and the Mountain escape? Some of them said that Senior Brother Chu Zihang deliberately let him go, so that Senior Brother Lu Mingfei took the blame, and then Senior Brother Lin Nian blamed Senior Brother Lu Mingfei for the conflict and finally everyone went their separate ways, seemingly together but not together... uh."
Jin Zhiyuan found that Lin Nian had already lowered his head and scratched his eyebrows when he was halfway through his words.
"What else?"
"They said that you, Senior Brother Lin Nian, have a close relationship with the 'S' level of the orthodox, and reached a secret agreement with the orthodox privately, which caused dissatisfaction in the academy, so you were not allowed to attend the celebration banquet this time..."
"...What else?"
"And...uh." Jin Zhiyuan paused and said carefully, "There are also rumors that you have been missing in Norton Hall for some time, and the reason for your low mood and instability is that you and your girlfriend are breaking up, and now you have entered a cold war period for a while... Of course, I think this rumor is nonsense, after all, someone as outstanding and powerful as you, Senior Brother..."
Jin Zhiyuan suddenly found that Lin Nian, who was sitting across from her, stood up, collected his plates and took them away, leaving only one sentence, "I'm full, you take your time, attend class, and stop listening to those random rumors."
Jin Zhiyuan sat there blankly, watching Lin Nian walk away. At the end of the cafeteria, there was the sound of plates being thrown into the recycling bin, and the sound lingered and echoed in the empty and blue cafeteria...
