A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 92 Plan
The hot water was placed in front of Ankuya.

"Forget about it in the apartment." Ankuya asked in confusion, "The tap water in the academy is all arcanely purified and can be used directly to mix potions. Why do you boil it before drinking it? Isn't it hot?"

Quinn held the water cup in his hand and gave a stern rebuke:

"Didn't your grandma tell you that drinking cold water will give you diarrhea?"

Ankua glanced at him speechlessly.

Then he took out his magic wand and cooled the water to a frosty state, and said leisurely while drinking:

"In the next period of time, the operation will be divided into three parts—"

"Yes! The rat group led by the brave dared to violate our supreme dignity (referring to the Demon King). General Kua, please give the order!"

".Why are you standing at attention and saluting? Sit down. You're just doing that useless noise every day."

Ankuya said speechlessly, "First, let's talk about Elon. You need to think about how to approach his sister on a date."

"Stop, stop, stop, what do you mean by a date?"

Quinn corrected him, "That's to take her to Pepe to check her statement, so that Pepe can believe that her target has really left Ashwell."

"But your way of asking people out is to date them."

Ankuya imitated someone's tone: "Ms. Xia Daier, are you free next Wednesday? I have something to say to you alone."

"Fuck, in front of her mother and brother, can I tell her that the nuns from the Vatican are arresting me? Oh, little sister, come with me to trick the Vatican's lackeys. Are you afraid that Elon doesn't have enough evidence against me?"

"I left you and her so much time up there alone, about twenty minutes, right? What did you do with it? Shouldn't you have disclosed such an important matter to her first?"

".I'm afraid someone might eavesdrop."

Quinn glanced to the side. "Well, just chatting casually, about how I joined the academy and stuff, making up some stories."

Ankua shook his head.

"You're not such an indecisive person, why don't you take advantage of her feelings for you?"

Quinn paused, and replied without any wavering expression:

"I'm already taking advantage."

".That's good."

Ankua waved his wand and drew a school schedule in the air.

"Then there's Lin and Celia."

"Lin, if you really can't meet me, you can put it aside for now."

"As for Celia, I will assign her to Amamiya Nene's Divination Department at the class placement ceremony this weekend."

Quinn was shocked.

"Fuck you, General Kua, you're truly omnipotent! Isn't this distributed fairly based on grades? How can it be manipulated? Ugh, I'm talking about the class division."

"I happen to be familiar with the guy in charge of class division."

Ankuya pointed to the weekend marked in red on the schedule. "Anyway, I'll leave it to you when the time comes. I have some new information about Celia—she submitted her extraordinary information when she enrolled, and the school clinic has reviewed and approved it, confirming there's no risk of loss of control."

"What fate?"

"A clergyman of the Dragon of Eternity and Time, whose destiny is called [Temperance]."

Ankuya said slowly, "Sequence Eight, Newborn."

"newborn?"

"Sequence Eight, which controls one's fate, is called Rebirth."

He warned, "It's not strong, but you have to be prepared. The teachings of the Eternal Sect, the clergy, and even their followers are all strange things."

“Strange thing…?”

Celia's sunny and cheerful image appeared in Quinn's mind, and he became confused.

If she was a hero, then it would only take her five years to be promoted to Sequence Eight?
After stealing Pepe's suitcase, he inexplicably felt that the thief's extraordinary characteristics had become more integrated with his soul, as if a large part of it had been digested, and it seemed that he was not far from Sequence Eight.

If advancing was so easy, then there's no reason why the hero would remain stuck at Sequence Eight for five years. With the Cult's support, it's unlikely he'd be stuck with ingredients or potion formulas...
It's unlikely that Celia is a hero.

"One more thing. The water level in the old British royal city has begun to drop. According to the prophecy of the Dragon Lord of the Eternal Sect, Celia's identity will probably be known to the world soon."

"prophecy….."

Quinn rubbed his chin in thought.

[When the lake waters recede and the holy sword emerges, the true king's descendants will reclaim the crown...]

Is this the moment when the lake water recedes?

Fifteen years ago, King Plzen Augustine of Britain and his queen died in a mysterious fire.

The fire engulfed the entire royal city, transforming the sky into a crimson purgatory. The fire burned for a full two weeks. To extinguish the flames, Aaron Augustine, the former king's younger brother and current monarch, made a controversial decision:

He blew up the dam upstream of the royal city's moat, allowing the water of the Thames to flood down, submerging the entire royal city and causing nearly one million people downstream to suffer.

The crazy act of breaking the dam became the biggest reason for the British dukes to criticize the new king after he ascended the throne, and the old British royal city was completely submerged in water, forming a ghostly lake.

"Hasn't the lake been fine for the past fifteen years? Why has the water level suddenly dropped?"

Quinn asked confused.

The book records that the lake in the royal city was used by the British king as a cemetery to commemorate his brother and sister-in-law, and was strictly guarded by stationed troops.

“Who knows?”

Ankuya sneered, "The Dragon Lord controls time, and His predictions have never failed. It's said the water level had already dropped by half, until the spires of the Old Royal City were exposed, and the news finally leaked out."

"To thwart the prophecy, the British king secretly sent his men to release the water again. As a result, the southern continent welcomed its earliest summer in history. The sun was so intense that it evaporated a third of the Thames' water."

Hearing this, Quinn immediately remembered the unusually hot weather in the city at noon today.

It was so cold a week ago that I had to wear a coat, but now I see open-air low-cut dresses. Wow, I can even see the cleavage of young girls. Wow.
"This matter was exposed by British journalists, and the newspapers controlled by the Grand Dukes immediately fanned the flames, leading to demonstrations in every British city. They believed that the king's actions had angered the Dragon Lord. Britain hasn't seen rain in almost a month. If a drought breaks out, Britain's hard-won political stability will be in jeopardy." Ankua laughed sarcastically. "Now the king dares not hide it, forcing him to go to the Eternal Sect to pray for the people. Only today did it rain. At the current rate the water level is falling, the Old Royal City will be completely exposed in less than a month."

"Now everyone is speculating whether the Eternal Cult has found the Child of Prophecy. Because the prophecy links the King to the Holy Sword, everyone speculates that the Hero has appeared and joined the Eternal Cult. To curry favor with the Hero, everyone is making things difficult for the British king. With so much trouble coming his way, he's probably going crazy."

"Before that, you must determine whether Celia, the most suspected, is a hero."

Ankuya's expression was serious. "She's still easy to kill right now. No one in the academy can protect her. But if she draws the Holy Sword and gains the full support of the Eternal Cult and Britain, it will be very difficult to kill her."

Subconsciously, Quinn imagined the scene of the bullet passing through the girl's beautiful forehead.

How will she react?
I'm afraid she would never believe until her death that Teacher Quinn would shoot her.

After a long time, Quinn asked dully:
"...Aren't all heroes in history men?"

"The Third Hero is a woman." Ankua lit a cigar, smoke billowing. "It's just that her details weren't recorded in history. The prophecy didn't explicitly mention a man. The oracle from the Dragon Lord was in Ancient Terran, and 'zi' in Ancient Terran simply means child, which can be either male or female."

The cigar he smoked was a tribute from the British royal family, wrapped in gold foil and printed with double crowns.

There were still twenty of them on the table - Jenny had given them as a gift when the two of them were leaving. The Branson family had spent a lot of money to please them. When Jenny saw Ankua accept them, she almost laughed out loud.

Quinn, on the other hand, had nothing. But when he asked to go on a date with Xia Dai'er, Elon immediately said that he would be responsible for sending his sister there on time.

For a family that controls countless capital and power, the highest bribe they can offer is probably the girl who knows nothing but is immersed in joy.

Quinn just felt extremely bored.

"One last thing about Golden Wind."

Ankuya frowned through the smoke and said, "They're connected to the robbery and the Higen government-in-exile. But they're hiding it well, and I haven't found any useful clues yet. Steal some Star Flowers from Amamiya Ningning, trade them with them, and then find a way to contact Ike Capone."

"If I can confirm he's a hero, I'll pin the blame for the artificial circuit on them and unleash the academy's powerful arm to blast him to pieces. It'll be the easiest episode ever."

After hanging out with Quinn for a long time, even a cool guy like Ankua developed an abstract speaking habit, which deeply illustrates the saying "the closer you are to the ground, the truer you are."

"No, why bother with all that? Are these gangsters really good people?"

Quinn asked in confusion, "Why don't we just take people to clean up the mess? Elon listens to us now, so why not just kill him first?"

Ankua shook his head.

"It's not that simple. We can certainly eliminate him, but if this guy reveals his identity before his death, the academy will definitely protect him. Compared to the heroes, the problems of artificial circuits and gangs are nothing. Boss, I think you've heard that heroes of all generations have hidden cards, right?"

The boss here does not refer to the owner of the Dema Tavern, but the Demon King Ruby.

".I did." Quinn nodded.

There is still no clue as to what the cheat code of the last generation of heroes is.

That was the complete version of the system, which was completely different from his assembled corpse version of the system.

"If you don't know his hidden card, it's easy to get into trouble if you act rashly. But if you can confirm that he is a hero."

A deep fierceness flashed in Ankuya's eyes.

"Even if it means giving up my identity as an academy, I can still kill him."

"When it comes to loyalty, it's still you."

Quinn called it reliable.

"That's it. I'm leaving now. If I'm any later, Selvi will get drunk again."

Ankua stood up and put out his cigar.

He has always been like this, never talking about anything other than work.

"If the nun discovers anything, I'll have my familiar inform you. There's no need for a special confession. The more natural it is, the less likely anyone will notice anything wrong."

"But she lives in the pub, and I still feel it's inappropriate to practice there."

"Don't say such spoiled words!" Ankua said sternly, "Quinn, you are the one who needs practice the most!"

“I never had fun fighting.”

This bastard was being abstract again. Ankuya didn't bother to pay attention to him. He picked up his windbreaker and walked towards the door.

"By the way." He suddenly stopped and asked, "Have you had any contact with He Mo in the academy these days?"

"This afternoon, he called me to his office and asked me to look for you." Quinn added, "Just this once."

"He didn't say anything strange?"

"No. But come to think of it, when Dean Fufu Mark came to apologize to me privately that day, he asked me to take care of Amamiya Ningning. It was as if she was the teaching assistant and I was the teacher. It was so weird."

"."

Ankuya was stunned for a long time.

The word "you" got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly showed an extremely warm smile: "You work hard, the leaders are all optimistic about you."

".ah?"

Ankuya's smile made Quinn's hair stand on end. Once this guy showed a sunny smile, it meant he was planning something bad, but he didn't explain anything and just opened the door and left.

Quinn sat alone on the sofa, concentrating on recalling...
Hiss, apart from giving me a piece of snake scale, there is nothing strange about it.

After a long while of trying to figure it out, he finally set his eyes on the stolen suitcase.

After secretly counting ten minutes and confirming that Ankua would not come back, Quinn got up, extinguished the fire in the fireplace, and locked the door.

As long as what happened that day doesn't happen again, no one will be able to get in.

Quinn placed his hand on the combination lock and took a deep breath.

He watched from behind the bar as Pepe opened the box.

I remember the six-digit password clearly.
