Brass Dragons in the Dragon World

China has laid the foundation for victory on the Northern Front with a victory in the southeast, and now no one can stop the rise of the Eastern dragon.

Ander got into a black sedan, chatted with the driver, and watched the trees pass by outside the window.

During Ander's absence from Kassel, Angers was renovating his dragon's lair. The Secret Service was rich and foolish, and most of the facilities were funded by them, with a small portion coming from North American mixed-race individuals and the Kassel family's legacy.

Angers sent a message to Ander saying that his dragon's nest was almost finished with renovations. This news excited Ander so much that he rushed back as quickly as possible.

In a spacious area beneath the Kassel College, Ander had already transformed back into his dragon form, gazing at the sandy ground before him.

"The finest sand from the Sahara Desert, a simulated lighting system, and stone pillars transported directly from the Gobi Desert—are you satisfied?"

Angers stood to the side, also transforming back into his dragon form, and stood on the sand, loudly introducing this world.

"It's really nice, it's just like the desert where I lived when I was a child."

Ander gently stepped on the sand, the sand flowing between his toes, a ticklish sensation that reminded him of playing in the sand as a child.

Ander's dragon's nest is built in a cave in the desert, surrounded by a ring of stone pillars. Its special orientation ensures that the morning sunlight can fall into the cave through the skylight above.

Temperature and humidity control devices were installed at every location in this area to ensure that Ander could regulate the temperature and humidity himself.

Ander flapped his wings and landed on a stone pillar. There was a small space above it, with a glass skylight and flight path installed. He could see the trees on the back mountain of Kassel College and it could be opened as an emergency passage if necessary.

A golden dragon climbs up and down the stone pillars, which have been specially reinforced so that Ander can relive the joy of climbing from his childhood.

Angers watched Ander leaping between the stone pillars and for some reason thought of a Maine Coon cat owned by a friend. The way that cat climbed trees really resembled Ander now.

After a while, Ander had had enough of playing with the stone pillars. He flapped his wings and plunged headfirst into the cave. The cave was empty. Angers didn't know what kind of furniture was needed in a dragon's lair. On the other side of the cave was a steel bank vault door.

The heavy door with its combination lock was reassuring at first glance, and most importantly, it was designed to fit Ander's own size, allowing him to open it easily.

Behind the massive portal was a treasure room, allowing Ander to easily store his treasures. A bronze door stood at the other end of the vault, the very door imbued with a living spirit.

After being brought out of the Nibelungen, this living spirit traveled with Ander throughout China and saw a great deal, making it arguably the most knowledgeable of all the living spirits.

During that time, Ander also used some technology to modify the living creature, becoming its master. Ander could be more at ease having a loyal intelligent puppet guarding the treasure.

Don't even think about using blood to trick the living spirit now. It will just chat with you while summoning the treasure's owner, so you can die in its furious breath.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Ander lay in the dragon's lair, watching Angers leap down from above, his dragon wings propelling him slowly as he descended.

"I'm glad you like it."

Angers breathed a sigh of relief. Ander was an important asset in his plan, and Angers was able to handle this matter.

"This is a pass, the highest level, the same as mine."

Angers handed Ander a black card, a new technology developed by the Secret Service that could open automatic doors throughout the academy.

Ander transformed into human form and took the black card. In any case, Angers' arrangement suited Ander's taste.

"Let me show you around."

Ang led Ander to the bronze door and had Ander open it, revealing a spacious area behind it.

"This is the deepest part of the academy, a place for future research on dragons and storage of forbidden items."

As Anders and Angers walked, Angers described his plans.

"He will have three entrances: one over there, one in my principal's office, and one at the main entrance."

"You mean that super long elevator?"

"Yeah, isn't it cool?"

"That's pretty stupid. What guy would build an elevator in the middle of his office?"

Ander complained.

Angers awkwardly touched his nose and promptly changed the subject.

"This place will become the center of dragon research, with an academy for slaying dragons above and a factory for making equipment for them inside."

"I also plan to build a large computer array here, the largest in the United States, to facilitate research for researchers."

Looking at the excited Angers, Ander couldn't help but wonder if the funds for building the school would be sufficient. Judging from Angers's introduction, the cost of this academy might far exceed his imagination.

Of course, the dog principal also took a lot, such as misappropriating funds to build himself an aquarium.

Thinking of this, Ander also had an idea. He already had his dragon's lair, but it was still a bit lonely with just him and Angers. He had quite a few relatives in China back then, so he could find a group of them to come over.

So... a few months later.

A lean old woman arrived at Kassel College, and in the underground dragon's lair, Ander met his comrade-in-arms of many years: Chu Jie.

"Ah Jie, you must be tired from coming all the way from China."

The brass dragon nodded to the old woman, whose gray hair transformed into a female dragonborn in the light. Years ago, Chu Jie was corrupted by dragon blood in Nibelungen, and Ander had no choice but to transform her into a dragonborn.

"Kassel College is still short of a dean of students, so you can take over for now. Are the Chinese students ready?"

"Don't worry, Uncle De, those kids are very excited, and the Lu family's kids want to come too."

Chu Jie spent a long time in the Sichuan-Chongqing region and was completely assimilated by the local dialect, transforming from a beautiful woman from a water town into an old lady from the Sichuan-Chongqing region.

"I'm really looking forward to that kid from the Lu family coming over..."

As Ander thought of Lu Shanyan's grandson, a slight smile appeared on Long's face.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Changed World

A year later, in the suburbs of Chicago, the Kassel College, after more than a year of construction, had taken shape, and a group of professors who were younger than those at other universities joined Kassel and became lecturers in various disciplines.

Angers used his connections in the U.S. military to recruit many scientists from the Manhattan Project to Kassel, since these scientists were of mixed race and it would be inconvenient for them to live with ordinary people.

Henkel kept his promise and used his revolver to force the redneck mixed-races to hand over their children to Angers. These Texans, who had been riding horses and herding cattle since childhood, became the first students of Kassel College.

In Europe, some of Angers' admirers traveled thousands of miles to the United States to become the first members of the executive department, but other mixed-race families were still watching, seemingly worried about whether Angers could manage the Kassel estate well.

Having accumulated some assets over the years, Ander traveled around the United States and invested in several companies that would later become famous. Now that he was in a capitalist world, he had to do some capitalist things.

Ander has a considerable amount of money now. Although he spent some of it during his time in China, the amount given by the Peruvian Party and Angers is more than enough to invest in several companies.

As a metal dragon who was once human, Ender belongs to the "content with modest wealth" type among dragons. He doesn't need much gold, just enough to cover the ground of his dragon lair, and a few dozen gems are enough for him to play with.

The brass dragon's nature makes him prefer precious handicrafts, such as wood carvings, marble sculptures, or precious embroidery, to gold and silver jewelry.

Therefore, during his travels, Ander also purchased some Western-style marble sculptures to decorate his dragon's nest, among which he particularly admired a piece by American sculptor Chansey Ives called "Anding Emerging from the Water".

The pure white marble was carved with a veil-like texture, which clung to the voluptuous female body, creating a unique and charming effect.

Of course, the most important thing was to resolve the question of one's origins, so...

In the principal's office at Kassel College, Angers watched as Ander took out several books and a gaudy cardboard box from his spatial bag.

"You had someone make a game?"

"Yes, Dungeons & Dragons, set in our world."

That's right, Ender went to find a few people and, using the Dungeons & Dragons of the previous life as a template, moved the appearance of Dungeons & Dragons forward by twenty years.

Otherwise, if Angers discovers that his world is so similar to the setting in D&D, Ander won't know how to explain it, so he simply created Dungeons & Dragons.

Angers didn't reply, but instead took out a box.

"This is an apology from the Snake-Headed Eight Families, sent from the island nation."

Ander took out several glass bottles from the box, inside which were segments of human little fingers.

"In island nations, it's customary to cut off your finger as an apology."

There were other things in the box, including a preserved human head. Ander took it out and disgustedly shook his hands.

"The head of a pro-war elder from the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"Disgusting! That's all the Japanese devils know how to do..."

Ander wiped his hands in disgust and called over a school worker to throw the pile of garbage into the incinerator.

"You disgust me as soon as I get back. Why don't you take a look at my things instead?"

Angers looked at the rulebook in his hand and raised an eyebrow.

"The game is quite interesting, but why do we have to kill a blue dragon in the first scenario?"

"Do we need a reason to kill the blue dragon?"

As a brass dragon, Ender couldn't be described as friendly and harmonious with these neighbors who also lived in the desert; at the very least, he hated them to the core.

"Can I ask the bard for help at the tavern, and a brass dragon will join my party?"

"Based on true stories and real experiences."

Ander shrugged, indicating that this was a true story that happened to him.

"Then we can skip the final battle round, because the great brass dragon Mr. Ender was too powerful; he smashed the blue dragon into mincemeat with a single claw..."

"That's how it was back then, just a little exaggerated."

Ender was completely unconcerned about the embellishments in his script, proudly raising his head, completely forgetting how difficult that battle had been for him.

"Alright... People from China have arrived. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Angers put down the script written by Ander and subtly changed the subject, mentioning that Ander had produced an agreement about mixed-race Chinese and African people a year ago.

According to most members of the Secret Party's elders, this was an extremely unequal and domineering clause that restricted most of the Secret Party's rights in China.

This includes the Huaxia Executive Department existing independently of the Peruvian Party; Kassel College being prohibited from recruiting students from China, but instead having China select mixed-race students to study in Kassel, etc.

In layman's terms, this agreement only nominally acknowledges the leadership of the Peruvian Party, but in reality, all mixed-race individuals within China are still under the management of China, and the Peruvian Party has no right to interfere.

Although the officials of the Peruvian Party were furious about the agreement, they still had to grit their teeth and sign it. After all, the situation was beyond their control, and besides, the Peruvian Party had never had any control over the mixed-race people of China, so how could they lose them?

Now, the first batch of Chinese students, after traveling to many places, have finally been able to enter Kassel College with the help of Ander.

Although the two countries were hostile at the time, the lack of Chinese mixed-race heritage meant that everyone was satisfied as long as they could learn something.

So, in the square of Kassel College, Ander met this group of mixed-race people from China. They would stay at Kassel College for three years, and after completing most of their courses, they would return to China for internships.

Among this group of energetic young people, Ander immediately found the person he needed to meet: Lu Shanyan's grandson. According to the plot, he should be Lu Mingfei's grandfather, and he is currently a young man in his early twenties.

"Youde, come here!"

Ander shouted that Lu Mingfei's grandfather had a very rustic name, Lu Youde. According to his grandmother, Lu Shanyan's wife, this name was to pay tribute to his second uncle, Ander himself.
