Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 103 [Principal]

The most likely one, without a doubt, is Ned.

If this is the case, can he withstand Solomon's attack?

It seems that I should keep some distance from him.

Or, consider changing your business.

Osvaldo, the Consul.

Ethan thought about this and came to Gustav's laboratory.

Gustav seemed to have sensed something and had already turned to look in Ethan's direction.

"I knew you'd come. Come and see what I've prepared for you! I've figured it all out!"

Gustav took out his latest research results and ran quickly to Ethan, as if he was presenting a treasure.

Ethan took a look and found that they had indeed all been solved.

Especially the law enforcement officer series, from the first level real name to the fifth level real name, Ethan can already pronounce them and understand what they mean.

Ethan's main focus was naturally on the second-level real name 'Silent Judge', which was basically the level that Aberlin belonged to now.

But it is not ruled out that he may be a third-level true name user, so Ethan also deciphered the third-level true name "Architect of Criminal Law" using the "Name of the True God".

The characteristics of this series of true names are mainly based on commands and rules. It can force others to implement certain commands and can also plan certain specific rules.

The weaknesses are also obvious, and they become more obvious the lower the level.

Like Aberline, he has actually been weakened.

Because low-level law enforcement officers really need status.

If he is still a Prohibition Agent, his True Name ability is enhanced.

Now that he has been relieved of his duties, his capabilities will decline.

At the same time, interrupting him at the critical point when he gives orders can also reduce the strength of his abilities.

Multiple interruptions can even weaken the power of his rules as a whole.

This was exactly what Ethan needed.

After reading it, Ethan readily gave his new real name.

This time, Gustav didn't rush to study. Instead, he pulled Ethan aside and said, "Wait a minute, I've figured out some new pronunciations. Come and listen. I think there's no problem. I can even feel some mysterious power trembling when I pronounce those words. I think... I've found the key!"

Seeing that Gustav was so sincere, Ethan stayed and listened.

Gustav started with the first real name of the sun and read out the names one by one.

At first Ethan didn't feel anything, but when he said the sixth real name...

shock.

The air is vibrating.

Also vibrating was his 'name of the true God'.

In other words, Gustav did touch the power of his true name.

At this point, Ethan didn't know what to say.

To call him a genius seems to be a word imposed on Gustav, making him mediocre.

He is…indescribable, a miracle.

Ethan even had a feeling that Gustav might be forging a new path.

A new real name?

Ethan didn't know, and he wouldn't stop Gustav.

He was like a flower about to bloom in the ruins, or like fire stolen from heaven that turned to embers on the earth.

But one day, it will spread like wildfire.

----------

After returning home, Ethan held a brief meeting and reported what happened at Winchester University today. Everyone agreed that they should keep their distance from Ned.

As for switching to Osvaldo, there is also a lot of room for maneuver.

After all, Ethan has already established contact with Osvaldo regarding the San Quanti investment.

After the meeting, Anya seemed very happy. When she turned around to cook, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

After dinner, Ethan received a call from El.

"Ethan, you have to help me."

"What's wrong, Dean El, what happened?"

"After those Kingdom Security Bureau agents came today, the board of directors held their latest meeting. They've dismissed Principal Loren and said they're going to appoint a new principal, who might be parachuted in. If he's parachuted in, I'm done..."

El already sounded like he was having trouble breathing.

It was as if he had foreseen his impending fate of being eliminated.

After all, he was already Lauren Ross's confidant.

"Why not you, Al?" Ethan asked back.

"What...what? Me?" El asked in surprise, as if he had never thought about this direction.

Ethan didn't care whether he was real or fake. If a new principal was to be chosen, El would be a suitable candidate.

He was very popular during this period, recruiting talents like Ethan and making the Art College of Winster University famous.

In terms of qualifications, he is qualified. He is the dean of a branch school and is indeed one step away from being the president.

And, most importantly, he is a believer in the Sun God cult.

Although it is not obvious, Winster University has actually been consciously clearing away the belief in Poseidon bit by bit over the years.

As for the Saint Quanti incident this time, although Ethan still didn't know who the King of the North Sea was, he could already determine that he had some connection with the God of the Sea.

Then, El's identity as a pagan was safe.

At the very least, if the Kingdom Security Bureau also contributed, they would definitely be happy to see someone of El's status take the position.

Finally, there is Ethan's relationship with him.

It would be great if he could have the opportunity to take control of the position of President of Winster University.

"Of course it's you. I think you are very suitable, El. I support you." Ethan said with a smile.

"Is...is that so? Am I suitable? But I...Ethan, you know, they may not support me."

"I think you have a good chance, El. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"Is this... okay?"

"Of course, we are friends, aren't we?"

After hanging up the phone, Ethan tapped the table lightly and looked at Anya: "Go check the members of the board of directors of Winster University and see what hobbies they have, or what they can use or threaten..."

If we can really help El take the throne, the benefits will be immeasurable.

And, King of the North Sea, now is the time to study it in depth.

Before, the threat from Solomon was still there and we couldn't act rashly.

Now, his attention has been completely drawn to other things.

If I check again, he won’t be watching me anymore.

In fact, the best person to investigate the King of the North Sea is Gustav.

He is a historian. Although he previously studied the Babur civilization, he may have dabbled in other areas.

Besides, even if he is not proficient in it, he should have a friend who is proficient in this area of ​​history, right?

Suppose there really was such a person as the King of the North Sea in history, or... a god.
