I, who was supposed to slay dragons, accidentally started cultivating immortals

Chapter 313 Dragon Bone
To be honest, Lu Mingfei never expected that the headmaster was talking about helping him calm down in front of an old friend, but he brought him to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Pennsylvania Road, this is a small road hidden in the downtown area, flanked by towering gray walls of skyscrapers.These towers were built in Chicago's most luxurious metropolitan era - the 20s.

With the passage of time, the limestone surfaces of these buildings have peeled off, revealing the bleakness of a dilapidated aristocrat.The sun is completely blocked by high-rise buildings. The tail of summer has not yet passed, and the coolness of autumn has already appeared on the long and narrow streets. At the end of the road stands a huge square building. A row of large exhaust fans were turning slowly, and Lu Mingfei looked at them and thought of the air conditioner on the roof of his hometown.

Chicago Municipal Opera.

This used to be a place where celebrities gathered. Every night 60 years ago, luxury cars and modern girls gathered here. The polite gentlemen came here with their young female companions to enjoy the elegant music, and the waiters chanted the words of the distinguished guests loudly. name.

The black Maserati was mixed among the retro-style luxury cars in front of the opera house, as if a young man in a studded jacket and ripped jeans mixed in with a group of middle-aged businessmen with suits and leather shoes, it was out of place.

Lu Mingfei sat in the co-pilot and looked out. Gentlemen and ladies came out of the car. The men wore all black tuxedos or evening dresses, white embroidered shirts, and thick hair smeared on the metropolitan style. Oily, light can be seen, the dress of the ladies is much richer, there is no heavy dress, but without exception, they are velvet long gloves and mink coats, with a semi-transparent thin veil on the middle, a pair of 50s The style of the character in the Metropolis movie.

Is this the American zombie 60 years ago who was dug out of the cemetery and waxed and polished?
After scanning the men and women outside, Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the principal again. He had a handmade Italian suit and leather shoes, a delicate rose on the chest of the coat, and a sanctimonious smile that an old prostitute must have.

"Heh..." Lu Mingfei couldn't help laughing.

"Huh? Why are you laughing, Mingfei?" Angers wondered.

"If I remember correctly, you should be about 130 years old, principal." Lu Mingfei leaned back on the seat and hid the Colt Python in his waist. Don’t people with similar roles find it interesting? The oldest people here look the youngest, and the not-so-old people look like they just walked out of a few eras.”

"It's a matter of mentality, most of them have really experienced that era," Angers shrugged, "It's just a pity that with the end of that era, the period when they can accept new things is also over, so they Live in that era forever."

"What about you, principal?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"I can't stop," Anger shook his head, "because I still have something to do."

Lu Mingfei nodded, instead of asking further questions, he started a new topic: "By the way, principal, aren't we here to meet your old friends? This is not a place suitable for old friends to chat or discuss cooperation."

"No hurry, let's go to an inside auction first," Anger said, "My old friend will also be at this auction, and it's time for us to discuss cooperation after the auction is over."

"What? Principal, you and your old friend are collectors?" Lu Mingfei joked.

"Among the mixed races, we are both top-notch collectors," Anger said as if he didn't know what it means to be modest. "Because of this, neither of us can miss this auction. This is Sotheby's three-year auction." A large auction that was held only once..."

"Sotheby?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that not only the principal came here to meet old friends, but he also met "old friends" in another sense.

"Oh, I remembered, you said before that you bought some rare alchemy materials at an auction house in Sotheby's," Anger said, "but this time it's different, you went to Sotheby's before Sotheby's ordinary auction, this auction is the largest auction in Sotheby's, held every three years, and the quality of the lot is top-notch among all auctions in North America."

"Mingfei, if you like something, you can tell me," Anger said, "I can take a picture of it for you if it's not too expensive."

"It shouldn't be necessary," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "I'm not interested in collectibles."

"It's not just collectibles. Alchemy props, alchemy weapons, and alchemy materials are always indispensable in the auction of mixed races. Sometimes there are even alchemy formulas."

Even though Ange said so, Lu Mingfei still looked uninterested.

Following Angers out of the car, ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Lu Mingfei was led by the principal into his exclusive private room amidst the enthusiastic greetings of the waiters—the Sotheby's Auction House will be the owner of the last large-scale auction. A total of [-] guests with the highest bids will prepare luxury private rooms.

The location of the private room is at the highest point in the entire opera house, and the design is very ingenious. Looking down at the guest seats, you can almost see everything at a glance, and the stage is an impeccable view.

There are handmade furniture from various top luxury brands in the private room, from the sofa to the small table to the chandelier to the floor lamp whose meaning is unknown. Every decoration in the room overflows with elegant aristocratic luxury, even the table is marked with "Japan "Imported" fruits have become cheaper in this atmosphere.

The corruption of capitalism is vividly displayed in this small private room.

In addition, in a sense, how much public funds the principal has embezzled is also vividly displayed.

Sitting in front of the glass of the box with the principal and looking down at the auditorium, Lu Mingfei looked at the undrawn curtain—the pattern was embroidered with gold thread, but it was not the pattern of the auction he went to last time.

It stands to reason that the previous pattern should be the crest of the mixed-race family behind Sotheby. It is the symbol of this family. There is one and only one, and it will hardly be replaced. There was no half similar pattern in the previous auction - a four-winged griffin with a thorn in its mouth.

Lu Mingfei only took a few glances and then looked away. Although he could analyze the problem, it had nothing to do with him, so why bother?

……

Six Flags Amusement Park, the road leading to the Ferris wheel.

Xia Mi almost didn't hold the cone in his hand, his steps froze, and he heard Chu Zihang in front ask: "Did you go out with Lu Mingfei last night?"

If I kill Senior Brother Lu now, will it prove that I am innocent with him?
Chu Zihang turned his head to look at Xia Mi, and said seriously: "If you want to go to the Internet cafe all night, you don't have to carry me behind your back."

"……what?"

Xia Mi, who was holding the cone, blinked, suspecting that he heard it wrong, or that the senior brother actually cared about her, so he misunderstood something and then received a huge stimulus for a while, so he lost his mind?

"Although sometimes Lu Mingfei goes to the Internet cafe all night and I will advise him to pay attention to his body, but if he only stays up all night once in a while, it won't do much harm to his body."

Of course, it refers to the mixed race.

"Brother, do you think that Lu Mingfei and I went to the Internet cafe... all night?"

After the panic dissipated, Xia Mi suddenly felt a sense of irony.

"Lu Mingfei has done this many times. When I stayed in a hotel with him, he always sneaked away in the middle of the night to find a nearby Internet cafe to play games." Chu Zihang frowned and asked, "If you didn't Go to the Internet cafe, where did you go last night?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night, and I just found that Senior Brother Lu was also awake. I couldn't sleep and wanted to chat, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I went out to chat with him for a while."

Xia Mi gave an answer that if it happened between male and female friends, then 90.00% of the time it might lead to a breakup - who would believe that this is just a simple chat?

Chu Zihang letter.

"Next time you can't fall asleep, you can also chat with me," Chu Zihang said, "If you chat with Lu Mingfei, you may be even more unable to sleep."

Xia Mi subconsciously nodded.

"Hey wait, senior brother," Xia Mi gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "Don't you suspect that there is...something between me and Senior Brother Lu?"

"What?" Chu Zihang didn't react for a moment.

He froze for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, there is no sign of mutual affection between you and Lu Mingfei."

"Senior brother, can you still recognize the signs of a crush?" Xia Mixin said, it's impossible. Maybe a couple like you can recognize them as friends of the opposite sex even if you're so stupid. Don't you have a good impression?Who gave you the confidence, brother!

"I've seen how Lu Mingfei liked Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang when he liked it," Chu Zihang said, "I can't see any 'like' elements from his attitude towards you."

Xia Mi: ...

Senior brother, you know Lu Mingfei so well, can you spare some energy to understand me!

"And..." Chu Zihang showed a very hesitant expression on his face, he hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, brother? You said it!" Xia Mi approached curiously, as if a kitten was attracted by a ball of wool.

"You probably don't fit Lu Mingfei's aesthetics," Chu Zihang said sullenly, "He said he likes beautiful girls with plump breasts."

Xia Mi: ...

……

This is a boring auction.

The auction was coming to an end, Lu Mingfei was lying on the sofa and chatting with Su Xiaoqiang on his mobile phone, while Ange looked at the increasingly expensive items with great interest, making bids from time to time.

The duration of this auction is not very long, and during this short period of time, Lu Mingfei really felt how Angers spent public money and squandered money.

Let's put it this way, Lu Mingfei memorized the prices and buyers of the lots sold at the auction. After a little calculation, if nothing unexpected happened, the principal should have a luxurious box at the next auction.

"Next, there are six pieces of No. 80." The auctioneer who has hosted the auction on the stage for several hours still maintained high enthusiasm, "This is a very, very special and precious alchemy material. It is an anonymous The exploration team commissioned us to auction it!"

A huge black hard-shell box was pushed up by the auctioneer's assistant on a cart. The auctioneer pressed the lid of the box with his white-gloved hands and opened the hard-shell box.

Unexpectedly, there was still a box inside the box, a small light gray metal box.

The auctioneer took out the small case and opened it again.

The crowd burst into low-pitched laughter, because the metal box contained a smaller black box. This happy scene was like the funny plot of a big box in a small box that appears in many cartoons. Cartoons should not know much.

"Forgive us for having to preserve it in such a cumbersome way, because it is totally worth the trouble." The auctioneer smiled and opened the black box. Inside was a blue-gray metal box this time-a lead The box is similar in size to a small suitcase, and its full view is displayed on a large screen for guests to see clearly.

The lead box was opened again, and inside was a sea blue box with dotted dark blue patterns on the surface.

No one laughed this time, and most of them had formal expressions on their faces, because this sea-blue box was some kind of alchemical metal—and it was an expensive alchemical metal.

The auctioneer opened the box again, and this time it was finally no longer a box, but a piece of bone—a dark golden bone that looked like an arm bone, but with far more bones than humans, and a weirder shape.

The sound of inhalation resounded in the guest seats.

It is said that dragons can change into a posture similar to that of humans, but even though they look similar to humans, their bones are completely different from humans—they have at least a thousand dark golden bones of different shapes that fit together.

"After receiving the entrustment of this lot, we paid a lot of money to invite many master alchemists, and after the joint appraisal of many master alchemists, our Sotheby's auction house officially confirmed and assured you that this is a genuine piece of gold. , the keel left by the next-generation Duke!" The auctioneer's voice suddenly rose, "And it retains the corresponding spiritual power, which can be extracted from the keel of the sage!"

There was an uproar among the guests.

No one thought that treasures of this level would appear in this auction. Generally speaking, the bones and blood of duke-level dragons are priceless treasures, and they can only be bartered. On the auction market where you can buy things—because the value of this thing is no longer measurable by currency, just like no country will sell its nuclear weapons technology for money.

Although this piece of keel looks small, it is only because it is in human form. If it was originally in dragon form, it would be at least two meters long.

If there is a corresponding amount of the Duke's spiritual power in it, then it can extract at least ten standard-sized Philosopher's Stones—there should be less than ten mixed-race families in North America that can have so many Philosopher's Stones.

The guest seats were boiling immediately, and most gentlemen and ladies didn't even have the extra energy to ensure their demeanor.

Anger straightened up in the box, and called Norma without hesitation, and asked Norma to open the college's emergency account for him—this is a great deal, and he, Anger, picked it up for the college.

Lu Mingfei stared at the keel arm, always feeling familiar.
