He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

"Hehe. What do you think a single, grown man like me can do by himself? Of course, I'll do things that men like to do!"

The night watchman gave Angers a very lewd wink.

Looking at the greasy, obese middle-aged man in front of him, Angers felt a chill. He now missed the "handsome and unconventional man" of the West from back then.

"Instead of spending that time doing traditional crafts, can't you find a wife? Or... is your 'five-piece' better than a wife?" Angers tried to console his old friend.

"Find a wife? Forget it!" The Night's Watchman shook his head. "I'm already over a hundred years old. My life could end any second. Finding a wife at this time... haha."

"It's better to die. We've all been living for so long, we're all so tired!" Angers sighed, a rare look of weariness appearing on his usually arrogant and unrestrained old face.

“Three of the four kings are gone, and your target for revenge is gone! The desire that burned like wildfire in your heart has disappeared, Angers, you are truly old!” The Night Watchman stared intently at his old friend.

“I also feel old.” Angers found a relatively clean spot in the night watchman’s messy room and sat down.

“As for death… I’m not afraid of it, I’m actually looking forward to it!” Angers said with a faint smile. “Alright, let’s stop here. It’s a bit strange for two old guys to be talking about life and death like this! Let’s skip the formalities and get straight to the point!”

Angers paused, "The 'Black King's Egg' that I entrusted to you for safekeeping, is there anything wrong with it?"

"How could something happen to someone as reliable as me? I've kept it safe. No one else but me can find that dragon egg!" The Night Watchman patted his chest and said confidently.

“By the way, Angers! You’re asking me for a dragon egg now… Have you found a way to completely destroy it?” The Night Watchman seemed to have guessed something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"That's right, I've found a way to destroy the dragon eggs from an old friend I haven't seen in a long time!"

"What method?" The Night Watchman stared intently at Angers.

As the legendary alchemy mentor of Flammel, the Night's Watch dedicated their lives to the great art of alchemy.

The highest throne in the Alchemy Hall has always been guarded by that noble black emperor!

The Night's Watch were still very curious about how to completely destroy the Black Emperor.

“This…” Angers hesitated for a moment, “Never mind, it won’t hurt to tell you! In fact, I don’t have a way to destroy the dragon egg either! However… I know someone who definitely has the ability to destroy the ‘Black King’s Egg’.”

"Who is that person?" the Night's Watchman asked.

“Tang Yu!” Angers replied succinctly with just two words.

"So it was that little guy! He really is someone who can create miracles! What are we waiting for? Let's go find him! These past two days, I've felt the power of the Black King within the 'Black King's Egg' gradually becoming more active!"

"The sooner I destroy Him, the sooner I can put my mind at ease! If I drag this out any longer... who knows when that old bastard Black King will crawl out of the dragon egg!"

"You mean... the Black King's power has become more active?" Angers frowned. "Is nothing wrong?"

“I told you I was here! What could possibly happen?” The Night Watchman patted Angers on the shoulder. “Angers, you should have faith in the legendary alchemist! I sealed the Black King’s dragon egg away before it started causing trouble!”

“Although my seal certainly can’t completely suppress Him, it’s quite easy to stall Him for a while! Angers, have a seat for a bit, I’ll go find that dragon egg!”

So the Night's Watchman scratched his head and began to rummage around his messy room.

Angers could hear the watchman's low mutterings very clearly.

"That's strange. I remember putting it here. Where did it go? Could it have hatched early and run away?"

Angers: "..."

As it turned out, the Black King did not have the ability to hatch in advance. In the end, the Night's Watch found the "Black King's Egg" under a pile of their old, smelly socks.

"Is this the seal you were talking about?" Angers pointed to the pile of smelly socks that emitted a strong "fragrance".

The way those socks were stacked and arranged did indeed resemble the sealing formations described in some ancient books...

"Of course not! How can something like a smelly sock serve as a sealing artifact?" The Night Watchman began to explain earnestly.

"I used the Philosopher's Stone to inscribe an alchemical array on the surface of the Black King's egg. The power of the Philosopher's Stone can temporarily suspend the Black King's power, thereby slowing down the Black King's emergence from its cocoon!"

“Since you’ve already used the Philosopher’s Stone, why did you put the dragon egg under your smelly sock?” Angers continued. “Although the Black King is an enemy, we still need to show some respect to that noble Black Emperor!”

"You mean this pile of smelly socks..." The Night Watchman scratched his head sheepishly. "Believe me, it was just an accident! Alright, alright, enough nonsense, let's hurry up and find Tang Yu!"

The Night Watchman, clutching the dragon egg, hurriedly left his shabby hut.

Following behind him, Angers looked puzzled. "Strange, why do I have a feeling this guy is hiding something from me? Is it just my imagination?"

260 Destroy the Black King's Egg

The distance between the Night Watchman's Clock Tower and Tang Yu's dormitory is not too far.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the earth was bathed in bright sunshine. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of mountain grass. Walking along the tree-lined paths of Kassel College, the two old men felt refreshed and relaxed.

The two old guys arrived at Tang Yu's dormitory in about five minutes.

The entire dormitory building was very quiet. Apart from a few Lionheart Society members who skipped class to practice meditation and dozens of student council members who were drunk and unconscious, most students were in class in the teaching building.

Angers seemed very familiar with the terrain. He didn't stop at all and easily arrived at the door of dormitory 3301 where Tang Yu was.

"Dong dong dong..."

The Night Watchman held the Black King's Egg in one arm, then reached out with his other hand and gently knocked on the dormitory door.

“Hey old Angers, shouldn’t we install a doorbell for the dorm?” With nothing else to do, the bored night watchman started chatting with Angers.

“If you’re going to pay for it, then I have no objection!” Angers said with a smug look on his face.

"Forget it then! I've spent all my money on Japanese souvenirs!"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but your hobbies are really quite bizarre! I have reservations about your personal interests." Angers patted his old friend on the shoulder, a hint of reminiscence flashing across his face.

“Back in the day, you, Flamel, were a legendary figure in the world of mixed-race people. Countless beautiful girls admired you… With such a brilliant start, how did you end up in this mess?” Angers said.

"All I can say is... time is a cruel mistress, each cut ages us all!" The Night Watchman shrugged helplessly. "To be honest, I do miss my younger self! But back then I had a body of marble-like muscles and a face that could charm countless young girls, but now..."

The night watchman rubbed his stomach helplessly. "The muscles I used to be so proud of have turned into flabby fat, and my handsome face has become the greasy face of a pervert on the train. What can I do? I'm desperate too!"

Angers: "..."

Just as the two were talking, Tang Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the dormitory door.

Tang Yu was visibly taken aback when he saw the two "visitors" who had come so early in the morning.

"Principals... disturbing our peaceful sleep so early in the morning, you're up really early!"

After hearing Tang Yu's words, the Night Watchman's lips twitched. "Early morning? I say, kid, it's already nine in the morning! You're not going to class, and you're not even getting out of bed!"

"Ha... I have nothing to do after getting up!" Tang Yu yawned, then led the two old guys into the dormitory.

After the two old men were seated, Tang Yu poured himself and the two old men a glass of water each.

"Right now, neither the useless senior brother nor Mingfei are here, and Erii is visiting relatives at the Snake Clan and hasn't returned yet! The expressionless senior brother is with Xia Mi, and the golden-haired Caesar is picking out wedding dresses for Nuonuo every day..."

"During this period, I didn't have anyone to talk to at the academy. I could only play games with my friends from China in the middle of the night to pass the time! It's normal to stay up late at night and get up late in the morning!"

Tang Yu is indeed Tang Yu; this guy described his boring life at the academy in just a few simple words.

"By the way, what do the two principals want with me? Is there another mission?" A glint flashed in Tang Yu's eyes, and he became eager to try.

After being cooped up in his dorm room for more than half a month, Tang Yu felt like he was turning into mold!

In the past, Tang Yu always complained that the academy didn't give him enough vacation time whenever he went on a mission.

And now... he's incredibly excited about the academy's missions! He'd love to be on missions all over the world every day!

Well... humans are such a difficult species to please!

"Ahem..." The Night Watchman cleared his throat. "Tang Yu, we've come to you because we have a mission for you! As for what that mission is... let old man Angers tell you!"

Ang nodded and took over the conversation.

"My dear student, do you still remember the Black King's Egg in the academy's collection?"

"Of course I remember. That's something the Black King left behind in this world. How could I forget it?" Tang Yu nodded.

"Principal Angers, why did you suddenly bring this up today?"

"I would like to ask you... to help Kassel College destroy that Black King's Egg! Look, what do you need to prepare? Even the Philosopher's Stone is fine, I'll send someone over immediately!"

The night watchman handed the dragon egg to Tang Yu.

The moment Tang Yu received the Black King's Egg, he felt a strange aura rushing towards him.

That feeling... was a lot like Fingel's smelly socks that hadn't been washed for two months back then!

Tang Yu frowned.

"This Black King has been dead for so many years, how come the smell he left behind is still so pungent! I feel... it smells like stinky socks!"

Upon hearing this, Angers looked at the Night's Watch with a meaningful gaze.

The old watchman looked embarrassed, whistling as he stared at the ceiling with a somewhat flustered expression.

He acted as if I knew nothing.

Fortunately, Tang Yu didn't dwell on the fact that "Black King's eggs smell like stinky socks" for too long.

Tang Yu scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to help... but I don't know how to destroy the Black King's Egg!"

"Don't be modest!" Angers patted Tang Yu on the shoulder. "You are my best student, and I believe in your abilities!"

As the saying goes, "If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job."

Tang Yu wanted to decline again, but just then, Iska, who was sleeping in his mental space, suddenly woke up.

The arrogant little dragon lazily said, "Tang Yu, grant his request! As for the Black King's Egg... leave it to me!"

Before Tang Yu could utter his refusal, he swallowed the words back down his throat.

A moment later, Tang Yu forced a stiff smile: "Since the principal trusts me so much, then I'll give it a try!"

"Then keep up the good work! If you need anything, just let me know, I won't bother you any longer! I got up too early today and haven't had breakfast yet. The vice principal and I are going to have breakfast first. Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"No need, I have instant noodles in my dorm!" Tang Yu waved his hand.

"Instant noodles aren't nutritious. I'll have the restaurant send you some later! That's all, we'll be going now!"

Angers dragged the night watchman out of the dormitory.

After leaving the dormitory for a while, the night watchman turned to look at his old friend.

“Angers, don’t you think Tang Yu is acting strangely? He was clearly unwilling to accept the mission at first, but then suddenly changed his mind…”
