Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Page 80

The so-called super hybrid species that can rival third-generation or even second-generation species are not actually comparable to dragons.

For example, true dragons can use a variety of incantations more easily and with very low energy consumption, something that super hybrids cannot do.

Super hybrids can only rival true dragons in physical attributes and the strength of their incantations. Only through alchemical weapons, modern weapons, and skills can they become roughly equivalent to true dragons.

John Wick's fighting style, resembling a self-propelled turret, is theoretically something only dragons could do.

Along with John Wick, who became famous in the real world, were Kassel's S-class freshman, Messiah, and Gao Kui, the prince of Northern Qi.

[On the first day of school, half of Kassel was ruined, but the head of student affairs was delighted instead of angry.]

[Exploring the limits of the Northern Qi prince's extraordinary battery life: Can he outlast the humanoid dragon king John Wick given enough time?]

[A powerful entrance! The Northern Qi prince stunned Cassel, while Gattuso drowned his sorrows in alcohol. There's a surprise in the final episode!]

With his superior bloodline and bloodline imprint, Messiah smiled slightly, having already won the principal's trust.

Caesar sat at his computer desk, sipping his Cointreau from a crystal glass, deep in thought.

The world's first Cointreau was invented by the Frenchman Edouard Cointreau in the 18th century. Since then, the recipe for Cointreau has remained unchanged for over a century, and the French Cointreau, made from ingredients sourced from Corsica, is sold all over the world.

The Cointreau Caesar drank was not any commercially available brand, but rather one produced by the Gattuso family's private winery. Furthermore, the raw materials were not sourced from Corsica, but from Sicily, Italy.

Anyone who has seen "The Godfather" knows that Italy is also famous for its oranges and olives.

Uninterested in savoring the fine wine, Caesar's attention remained fixed on the computer screen or the Night's Watch forum.

Even though seven days have passed, the humanoid dragon king and the prince of Northern Qi are still hot topics in Kassel. The top 20 posts on the forum homepage, ranked by popularity, are all about discussing related topics.

Caesar, who defeated the Lionheart Society on the day of freedom and led the student council to win the right to use Norton Hall for two consecutive years, was completely forgotten in a corner, just like Norton Hall, which was reduced to ruins in the war.

They are occasionally mentioned, but only as embellishments and foils to the humanoid dragon king and the prince of Northern Qi.

Caesar was completely convinced.

Without ever facing the Dragon King and the next generation, one cannot know just how terrifying they are. When John Wick ignited his golden eyes and his gaze swept over him, he realized how arrogant and ignorant he had been in the past.

The gap between an A-grade hybrid and a super hybrid or a humanoid dragon king is greater than the gap between an ordinary person and an A-grade hybrid.

The study door was opened at some point, and Frost Gattuso appeared behind Caesar without anyone noticing.

"Ten years ago, it would have been unimaginable for a student to live in a villa on campus instead of a dormitory, when Kassel was still under a quasi-military management system."

Frost surveyed the layout of Caesar's study: "I remember this villa wasn't originally decorated like this. Your taste is still so... extravagant."

Caesar put down his wine glass, his face expressionless: "Why are you here?"

"Because I am a member of the board of directors of Kassel College."

"The principal once said that he is the most important person in the school."

"That's true. There are many areas in Kassel that even board members cannot enter without authorization."

But the villa you're renting is clearly not among them.

"Damn Gattuso!" Caesar gritted his teeth, his face cold. Even though he had escaped to Cassel, he still couldn't shake off the entanglement and constraints of his family.

"I really don't know why you have so much resentment towards your family."

Frost sighed: "Do you know how much your family loves you and how much they want to help you?"

From childhood to adulthood, your family has always tolerated your rebelliousness and childishness. Whether you work hard or cause trouble, your family has always given you whatever you want.

Simply because you are the best, the best in the Gattuso family for centuries.

Caesar laughed coldly: "The Gattuso family's best hybrid in hundreds of years is hardly a special honor. Gattuso is just a nouveau riche."

Your expectations of me are a bit too high. The ones who truly deserve our anticipation are super-mixed-race individuals like Gao Kui and the principal.

"You gave up?"

"I have only realized my own weakness." Caesar's azure eyes still burned with an indomitable and fighting spirit.

Recognizing one's own weakness is not a sign of failure or lack of confidence; at least for Caesar, it was the beginning of maturity.

"It seems that the appearance of the Northern Qi prince is actually a good thing for you and your family."

Frost picked up a bottle and glass from the wine cabinet, poured himself half a glass, and said slowly, "You're absolutely right. We Gattuso family are just nouveau riche."

Looking at the whole world, only super hybrids like Angers and the princes of Northern Qi are truly worth looking forward to.

They can even fight single-handedly against third-generation and second-generation hybrids in their prime. Even if dozens or hundreds of regular A-level elite hybrids attack together, they can only be slaughtered by them.

A true super hybrid, a fully developed advanced dragon, that's how powerful it is.

What you call "A-grade bloodline," in a certain dialect of China, is utterly worthless.

Caesar was slightly surprised. For the past ten years or so, the Frost family had always flattered and indulged him. This was the first time he had received such a fair and objective evaluation.

"However, this does not mean that you are not the special one."

Frost swirled the crystal-clear liquid in his glass: "Several years ago, Kassel College began developing a project called 'Nibelungen,' and it has now reached a mature stage."

Our plan is to select one of the most outstanding mixed-blood students and use special technology to enhance his bloodline level, nurturing him into a super mixed-blood capable of rivaling, or even surpassing, the Dragon King—the [Mixed-Blood Monarch].

"A half-blood monarch?"

"Can you simply understand a Hybrid Monarch as a super hybrid that can rival even the next generation of hybrids or the Dragon King?"

"Is Gao Kui a half-blood monarch?" Caesar asked the question that concerned him most.

"This question has really stumped me."

Frost rubbed his head in frustration: "The prince of Northern Qi is indeed an extremely powerful super hybrid, with a mutated incantation comparable to a high-risk incantation, a special bloodline mark that has never been discovered before, and an S-rank superior bloodline..."

The prince of Northern Qi was undoubtedly a super-mixed-race individual, but in my opinion, he couldn't quite be considered a mixed-race monarch. Angers armed him to the teeth, yet he could only barely match John Wick.

Our envisioned hybrid monarch is one who, single-handedly, wielding only a conventional alchemical sword, can slay John Wick.

While equipment is certainly a part of skill, the credit given to equipment in Gao Kui's godlike performance was indeed too high, with items like Longinus, Ebony, and White Ivory...

Putting all that aside, Frost didn't believe the Northern Qi prince could hold off the humanoid dragon king.

"In that case, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to train Gao Kui into a hybrid monarch?"

Caesar listed Gao Kui's advantages one by one: "A higher starting point in bloodline means lower costs and a higher success rate, as well as more outstanding Word of Power, and a bloodline imprint that is rarer and more wondrous than Word of Power..."

I can't see any reason why Kassel wouldn't nurture him.

"He is mentally ill."

Frost succinctly stated: "You know, the behavior of the mentally ill is often uncontrollable."

"Uncle, don't forget that I am also uncontrollable." Caesar sneered repeatedly; he had always been at odds with the Gattuso family.

No, you are controllable. Frost thought to himself, looking at Caesar.

Childishness and rebelliousness are common personality traits. As long as you grasp Caesar's personality traits, you can completely control him. This is what the Gattuso family has always done.

And now, Frost intends to continue doing so.

"But one day you will grow up, won't you? The Northern Qi prince is different. Angers has been busy for four years but still hasn't solved his mental problems."

This was inevitable, after all, it was the Gao family of Northern Qi, whose bloodline had been passed down for nearly two thousand years. According to Kassel's research, Yuwen Tai, who competed with Gao Huan, the ancestor of Northern Qi, was very likely a human-shaped dragon king.

The genetic defects inherited by this super hybrid, who can rival the Dragon King, are something that Cassel cannot solve.

All things considered, you are the better choice. Aside from the Northern Qi prince, you are the more outstanding one in Kassel.

This isn't just my opinion, but the opinion of many school board members.

Caesar remained silent, forced to admit that Frost was indeed right.

Although he is still a far cry from being the "best in the world," he is indeed the most dazzling mixed-race person in Kassel under Gao Kui, and it is understandable that the board of directors chose him.

Frost pressed his advantage, continuing to persuade: "For now, it's almost a done deal that Cassel will choose you as the executor of the Nibelungen Project."

With Kassel's dedicated training, you will soon be able to transcend the limitations of your bloodline and become a hybrid monarch even stronger than a super hybrid.

Angers, the prince of Northern Qi, all the super hybrids in the world today will be left behind by you. You will become the savior, you will become the god of the new world!

Also, you really like that girl named Chen Motong, right?

Caesar's arrogant eyebrows twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Frost to be able to see even this. He had only known Chen Motong for a week, and had only met him twice in the past week.

"You don't need to hide it or deny it. That girl is definitely your type, but she doesn't seem to like you."

Everyone could see that she loved the prince of Northern Qi; she was not the girl for you.

Don't you want to win over the girl you like?

Become a mixed-race individual superior to the prince of Northern Qi, become a mixed-race monarch, and prove with your excellence and achievements that you are better than the prince of Northern Qi.

"As long as you become a mixed-blood monarch, your family will make an exception and grant you the right to freely choose your love partner. It's even possible they might help you compete with the princes of Northern Qi."

Frost's voice was deep and resonant, each word like the whisper of an ancient god, speaking directly into Caesar's heart.

"If I agree, I'll definitely become a half-blood monarch?"

"must."

"If I become a half-blood monarch, will my family help me win over the girl I like?"

"spare no effort."

"I don't think I have a reason to refuse," Caesar said, his eyes lowered.

"Yes."

"but……"

Caesar suddenly raised his head, his deep eyes burning with hatred and rage: "But I refuse, whether it's the Nibelungen Plan or pursuing the girl I love, I refuse it all!"

Frost was stunned.

Caesar stood up and faced Frost, his eyes blazing with a fire that seemed to set the world ablaze.

"Stop saying how much my family loves me. The more you say that, the more disgusted I feel."

If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have driven my mother to her death, and you wouldn't have denied that she was a member of the Gattuso family after her death.

You guys chose this!

You have never loved me, but the Gattuso family. But I am not a member of the Gattuso family, even though I have the Gattuso surname, I am not a member of the Gattuso family.

Therefore, Gattuso's honor or disgrace, Gattuso's plans, are none of my concern. My life, my ideals, my love, everything about me is also irrelevant to Gattuso.
