Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 422

After Lu Mingfei crossed a gully and set foot on a road around the mountain, he could finally see the castle squeezed between a pile of stone walls.

This is not a luxuriously decorated and exquisite castle, at least at first glance, you won't feel that the castle lives in a pampered princess.

It collapsed, leaving only the defensive wall with scaffolding, the only remaining towers and gates, and the heavy and thick cylindrical main tower standing in the cold wind, desolate and dilapidated, like a haunted castle haunted by ghosts.

Yuan Zhinv walked in front and led the way, leading the crowd across the snow-covered road to the fortress.

"Fort More, a fortress built by the Secret Party in the 1st century BC." Angers, who was standing under the city gate, walked slowly: "This fortress stands on the edge of the civilized world and has been forgotten for a long time. Few people know about it. On the road to the castle, the dragon slayers were trained here when the secret party was not yet strong, and every winter, they would come back from outside to congratulate the New Year, and they would leave in the spring."

"Long time no see, Lu Mingfei."

"Long time no see, Principal."

Ange stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lu Mingfei, looking past Erika who was beside him, and glanced at the three people behind him.

"It's great to see my old students again before the year is over."

"Old monster, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all." Giovanni walked over and hugged Ange.

"My hairline is getting higher day by day. I counted in the mirror this morning, and I lost two more hairs." Angers joked.

"Just right, I recently learned a new haircut technique, so you don't have to worry about your hair in the future." Qiao Wenni said.

"If I want to experience a bald head, I will ask you to make an appointment in advance."

The three people behind Lu Mingfei stepped forward and chatted with Anger like old friends.

Chu Zihang, who stood silently behind Angers, stared at the man on Angers right.

He was wearing army green cold-proof clothing, because he was walking in the snow, and he was wearing black boots. He seemed to have suffered some injuries on his legs, and he was limping when he walked. Stubble, no energy, almost no difference from the face in memory.

The man seemed to have spotted Chu Zihang, and raised his right hand high to greet him.

Angers smiled: "We all have a lot to say, let's go to the lobby, no one will disturb us today."

Lu Mingfei took Erika and sat down in the hall. As Anger said, no one would disturb them, because there was no one in the castle.

Under the city gate, cobwebs are overgrown, and the rotten cork is pitted by ants. It has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has maintained it all year round.

Only the hall is fairly clean, as if it has just been cleaned, but there is still a piece of the wall that is missing, and the cold wind is still blowing in.

"Aren't you going back to your mother's place for the New Year this year?" Chu Tianjiao was supported by Chu Zihang to sit on the seat.

"I told my mother that I had a break with my brother in the laboratory, and we will go back later." Chu Zihang sat next to him.

"Don't lie to her all the time, she is not as stupid as you think." Chu Tianjiao muttered, "She is very serious when she is serious, just like she made up her mind to divorce me and went to the dance class to sit on stage during the day. , I have to dress up and go to the bar at night, if she is really a stupid woman, how can she take care of both sides? You have to be careful when making up your reasons, if she sees a problem, she will pester you endlessly."

"Don't worry, I learned all the skills to lie to her from you." Chu Zihang replied coldly.

Chu Tianjiao was at a loss for words. After holding back for a few seconds, he patted Chu Zihang's shoulder: "Take good care of her, don't make her worry too much."

"En." Chu Zihang nodded.

Lu Mingfei shook his head at the father and son.

Angers clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"There are a lot of things to do these days, and I haven't had time to make too many preparations, because you said that you want to find a hidden place to meet, and I want to make an appointment in Aalborg before making arrangements for the New Year."

"It used to be very prosperous here, but when the Franks captured Cologne in 455, Morburg was also involved, and the Secret Party had no choice but to evacuate here. It has been deserted since that day, and it has only single digits People know its original location, although it is a bit dilapidated, but we are not here for a welcome party today, I hope you can be patient." Anger pulled out a chair and sat down at the long table.

"It's okay, Principal." Lu Mingfei said, "I just don't want too many people to know about our meeting."

A few days ago, people all over the world remembered his face, and that video is still spreading wildly on the Internet.

He rode a dragon and forced his way through the encirclement of the army. For the half-breeds of the secret party, the fellows with dragons are their enemies.

I don't know how many mixed races in the secret party are hostile to him. Even if it is Angers, Lu Mingfei can't figure out his current attitude.

If he showed up in the stronghold of the Angers faction, there might be some troubles.

"It would be best if you don't mind." Ange glanced at his watch: "There are still three people left, and today's guests are all here."

As he said that, footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Sorry, the traffic jam on the road delayed me for a few minutes."

Yuan Zhisheng and Uesugi Yue stepped into the hall.

"The New Year is here, and it's normal to have more cars on the road."

Behind the two, there is an old man dressed in cowboys. It is the night watchman and vice-principal of Kassel College, Leonardo Flamel, who is known as Flamel's mentor. He is carrying a lamp The oil lamp walked in. It seemed to be an alchemy item. The light of the oil lamp shone on Lu Mingfei's body, and there was a sense of warmth immediately, and he didn't feel cold anymore.

Lu Mingfei and Anger each had five people, and a total of ten people gathered on the stone table.

"Hoo hoo." Leonardo rubbed his hands and took off the scarf wrapped around his nose.

"He is Uesugi Koshi, an old monster with imperial blood, and the two sitting over there are his sons, Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinv, who are the older brothers of Uesugi Erika, and the others, I think you can all understand." I won't go into details if it fits the title." Anger introduced.

After some exchanges, the meeting started.

Even though Erika was an outsider, she also sat upright solemnly.

Uesugi looked at his daughter's face more and more, Erika raised her small hand and waved at him, and he immediately smiled kindly.

"Let's talk about the topic we are most concerned about first. What happened in the containment?" Anger's expression became serious: "On December 12th, when the cross-shaped beam of light was lit up, we A person's golden pupils are activated, and all mixed races feel the call of the blood, like the call of "Speaking Spirit·Emperor."

"No, it's different from 'Emperor'." Leonardo shook his head: "'Emperor' doesn't work on hybrids of the White King's bloodline, and the range of influence of that beam of light is wider and deeper than that of 'Emperor' .”

"Probably because the seal was removed." Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "The beam of light, I think it should have appeared because I pulled out the 'gun'."

"Draw the gun? Is that Kungunir on the boy?" Angers asked.

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Kungunier was pulled out after that. In fact, I entered the sea of ​​souls."

"The sea of ​​souls?" Leonardo stood up and pinched Lu Mingfei's hand with some force: "Is the sea of ​​souls real? Lu Mingfei, you can't be mistaken." Come on, don't get confused?"

"Leonardo, don't get too excited," Angers said.

"Ange! Do you understand what it means if the 'sea of ​​souls' exists?"

"Both Erika and I entered the Sea of ​​Souls and then left there. There is nothing wrong with that, but the vice principal, what does this mean?" Lu Mingfei said.

"Don't call me vice-principal, I have resigned from Kassel College." Leonardo took a deep breath and sat back in his seat: "The alchemy community believes that the soul will disappear after leaving the body, unless it is refined Made into the Philosopher's Stone, as the condensed fifth element, it can avoid its demise, and only dragons can violate this rule, because they are species in the 'upper world' and are higher spiritual life."

"However. If the sea of ​​souls exists, this cognition will be overturned. After all creatures die, their souls will flow into that sea. Can you imagine the sea formed by the death of life on this planet for hundreds of millions of years? What a terrifying collection!"

"Calm down, Leonardo, that's not something we're thinking about right now." Angers raised his voice slightly.

Leonardo and him stalemate for a moment, then fell silent.

Anger then asked Lu Mingfei: "You said the seal was lifted? What do you mean?"

"." Mentioning the seal, Lu Mingfei thought of the seemingly endless spiral staircase, and then thought of the oath he made, and glanced at Erika who was pretending to be serious on the left.

After leaving Siberia, they have been running around and have no time to rest, so until now, he has not fulfilled his oath.

A man must keep his promise, and he will do it when he makes an oath.

But in such a formal situation, it seems not good to think about these things.

He quickly threw his fantasies out of his mind and brought his gaze back.

After organizing the words, he said: "I saw that boy in the sea of ​​souls. He had a long gun stuck in his body. I pulled out the gun."

Ange propped his hands on the table and lowered his head slightly so that people could not see his eyes clearly: "In other words, you released an incredible existence, and just the awakening of that existence has affected the whole world?"

"I just rescued the boy who was being punished." Lu Mingfei responded calmly: "He is my younger brother, and I have the responsibility to protect him."

"Brother?" Yuan Zhisheng looked sideways at Yuan Zhinv.

"I'm not blaming you, I just want to ask you, why do you want to meet me?" Anger raised his head and looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"To protect human beings, to sever the fate of dragons and human beings, these... are not reasons, they can only be called responsibility." Lu Mingfei paused for a moment and said: "I met with the principal, I just hope that Erika... I hope I know People, my good friends, my parents, they are all safe."

"For my son to say such things, we two are really incompetent as fathers and mothers." Qiao Weini said in a deep voice, "Mingfei, tell them about that, no matter what their attitude is, Mr. Parents support you."

"Is there anything else that will break our relationship if we say it?" Anger narrowed his eyes.

"Actually, I came today mainly for this matter." Lu Mingfei said.

Uesugi felt the tense atmosphere, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Ange, do you have the intention to do something? Don't you know what's going on now?"

"Of course I know." Angers still squinted his eyes.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to hide it anymore: "Principal, do you think the Dragon King is the enemy of mankind?"

"Dragon King?" Anger didn't understand Lu Mingfei's meaning: "The dragon clan used to rule this world, and the dragon clan that ruled the world was ruled by the four dragon kings and the black king. Of course they are the enemies of human beings. Why do you ask this?" question?"

"I hope the principal can cooperate with Dragon King." Lu Mingfei said.

"Cooperate with the Dragon King? Is that the black dragon that listens to you?"

"Black Snake is just one of them. There are five dragon kings on my side plus him. I hope you can let go of your prejudices and let them be our support, principal."

"Five Dragon Kings!"

Except for Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini who had known for a long time, and Eri Yi who came to make soy sauce, everyone else opened their mouths with surprised expressions, and even Anger couldn't hold back.

"Actually, the two Kings of Bronze and Fire have been resurrected. I have also found the King of Earth and Mountain. Back then, I used the blood of the Mountain King to exchange blood for Eliyi. With the addition of 'Black Snake', there are five in total. I hope You can get along well with them." Lu Mingfei said.

"Using the Dragon King to exchange blood." Uesugi Yue looked at Erika with a complicated expression: "Did you solve the dragon transformation in this way? This is really an unimaginable generosity."

"You said that the King of Bronze and Fire has been resurrected? But their keels are still kept in the ice cellar. If they are resurrected, how can the spirits on the keels not dissipate!"

Leonardo frowned tightly. Before he left Kassel, the keel was still alive. How could the Fire King be resurrected?
"I don't know much about these, but they are indeed still alive, and I have already done the work on their side, and I can join in at any time."

"Lu Mingfei, you really threw us a depth bomb." Anger let out a long breath, "The five dragon kings? You mean those five are willing to help humans?"

"They are all my friends, and I have persuaded them."

"The threshold for being friends with you is really high."

"So principal, what is your decision?"

"Let the Dragon King be my partner. This is the first time for me, an old man who has lived to be 130 years old. Let's vote. Those who agree will raise their hands."

The meeting ended, and the final result of the vote was 3 abstentions and 7 consents.

Angers, Leonardo and Chu Tianjiao abstained, and the rest raised their hands.
