Brass Dragon in the Dragon World

Chapter 13 Midnight's Gift

On the rough sea, a passenger ship smashed the oncoming waves with its steel body.

Excessive rainwater splashed heavily on the deck, and the fog filled the air, making people blind.

Suddenly, another flash of lightning flashed by, followed by a low thunderclap, causing the waves to tremble.

Just like every sea-related movie will have a storm, the passenger ship where Ender was on also encountered a little storm.

If this was a pirate movie, Ender would be singing and scooping water on deck.

But it was the 20th century, so Ender could only sit in the cabin and chat with Angers.

Angers was a little absent-minded. He recalled the rain that day, and it seemed to be the same...

But Ender obviously didn't care. He was bragging about how he had poured three Mayouf's acid arrows down the throat of a blue dragon.

The story came to an end in An De's wonderful imitation, but An De still had more to say.

"It's your turn, it's your turn."

Ender urged Ange to tell the story of his adventures, so that he could laugh at Ange's short and lackluster life experience.

But Angers couldn't get up all the time, and Anders simply asked another question:

"I said, do you have to tell me who killed those friends of yours?"

Although Ander was able to know what happened that day through the memory of his previous life, he still hoped to hear Angers talk about it.

Angers clenched the jackknife, wanting to hit the dragon that sprinkled salt on his wound.

"I do not want to say……"

"Don't be like this, trust me more, I don't even know who the enemy is, you are so cruel."

Ender had asked similar questions in Hamburg, but Angers really didn't want to recall the experience of that day.

"Some things are better said, so that everyone will be happy."

Perhaps the busyness of these days has diluted the sadness, and Ange finally spoke.

"Every story begins when Lu Shanyan came to England with the ministers of the Qing Dynasty..."

Angers' narration is very dry, without any rhetoric or intentional suspense, he just tells a story with a bad ending.

With the help of Lu Shanyan, an anti-Qing revolutionary faction, the secret party purchased cultural relics related to the dragon from China for research.

However, the decadent Qing government cooperated with the mixed races in China to set a trap for the secret party, disguising a dormant dragon king as a "lizard bone" and sending it to the secret party.

In the Cassel Manor, the Dragon King woke up, and all the members of the secret party resisted desperately, leaving Angers alone.

"You snatched treasures from other countries and got tricked?"

"With all due respect, I have no sympathy for you cultural relic dealers at all."

Angers blushed and stammered in defense:

"The matter of slaying the dragon, how can it be regarded as robbery..."

Ender waved his hand, didn't delve into it further, and continued to ask.

"Where did the money for buying cultural relics go?"

Lu Shanyan once said this, and Angers replied:

"We are not cooperating with the Qing government, but anti-Qing people. The revolution needs money, so..."

Ender sighed, reselling cultural relics, funding anti-government armed forces, and digging graves. No wonder the secret party is being targeted.

"Punishment, there are more and more judgments in the days."

Angers simply went on with his plan.

"We disembarked at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and first connected with the people there, and then went to Minzhou to find Mrs. Lu, who is Lu Shanyan's wife. Your identity needs her help."

Ander is now Lu Shanyan's second uncle, a Chinese mixed race named Lu Ande, who is considered a side branch of the Lu family.

But all of these require the cooperation of Mrs. Lu.

"Falling leaves return to their roots, it's pretty good..."

Angers glanced at Ander, he didn't expect that Ander would understand the customs of China so quickly.

"No, Lu Shanyan's body is not suitable for moving anymore. It has been completely polluted by dragon's blood. It can only be buried in Kassel Manor, where there are protective measures designed by the Secret Party."

"Then how do you explain to other people's wives?"

Angers lowered his head, pursed his lips, and for a long time, he only said one sentence:
"I have no idea……"

Ender looked at Angers who was in pain, patted his shoulder, and changed the subject.

"Then what do we do?"

Angers squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:
"Go north, go to Tongwan City, and find that bastard Friedrich."

"You are not a plan..."

"No planning, just fighting."

"Is there support?"

"No, my injury healed too quickly, and the Secret Party doesn't trust me."

Under such an explosion, Angers was not injured at all, which looked suspicious indeed.

"No support, no plan, are you going to die?"

Angers raised his head and stared straight at Ender:

"You'll help me, won't you?"

Ender scratched his head, he felt as if he had fallen into a pit.

"Whatever, you are the employer, you have the final say."

Angers smiled, and under the action of his stiff facial muscles, he laughed as if he was crying.

Ender changed into a comfortable position and continued the strange chat.

"Let's talk about Deadpool, that kind of disgusting creature should be encountered a lot this time."

Anger didn't say much, and popularized some knowledge about Deadpool to Anderkop.

These hybrids have broken through the borderline of blood, eager to transform into dragons, but unfortunately they are destined to only transform into half-human, half-dragon living corpses.

Ender asked a question after Mrs. Angers' little class

"Did you say those deadpools can swim?"

"Should be, the cargo ship transporting antiquities for the Secret Party was sunk by Deadpool."

The Queen Mary, the freighter carrying cargo for the Secret Party, sank in the Atlantic Ocean the day after the "Lizard Bones" were delivered.

And the crew above him all turned into Deadpool, appearing in the Battle of Kassel Manor.

Ange imagined those deadpools wearing heavy clothes and swimming in the sea in a funny posture, and couldn't help smiling.

But he soon stopped laughing.

"Do you think we will be discovered by the enemy?"

asked Ender.

Angers reacted immediately, with a flick of his wrist, the jackknife was out of its sheath.

"what have you found?"

"While you were telling the story just now, I heard the sound of claws scratching the steel plate."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Angers sprang from his chair and ran to the deck.

"I hate swimming, now they should be on deck."

Ender followed him, walking unhurriedly, but not slower than Angers who was running.

"You bastard..."

The two stood on the deck, the huge rainwater kept falling, and the giant ship moved forward in the darkness.

A flash of lightning flashed across, illuminating the whole world, and also illuminating...

Deadpool on deck.

Angers looked at the lifeless Deadpool with a ferocious smile on his face.

"It looks like someone sent us a gift."

"Midnight's gift..."
