Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 296 Where's Lu Mingfei?

In 2011, summer night, clear, Chicago harbor.

"Sir, please show your invitation letter." The waiter smiled and knocked on the window lightly
The car window lowered slowly, and a young, slender, muscular hand handed out a dark red invitation card.

"Welcome, Mr. Xia Zihang and Ms. Chu Mi, please go this way." The waiter turned sideways respectfully.

The door opened, and the first person to get out of the car was a handsome man in a black tuxedo and sunglasses. He got out of the car with a blank expression, and then stretched out his hand into the car.

A hand with creamy skin lightly rests in his palm, the slender heel sticks out of the car door and steps on the ground, the calf stretches out a graceful arc, and the white backless dress perfectly outlines the woman's figure, except for some Usually, there are almost no shortcomings, especially the veiled face, which is looming and reveals the mysterious beauty of the East.

The woman took the man's strong arm and began to board the ship under the guidance of the waiter.

This is a huge cruise ship with bright lights and people coming and going on the cruise ship, obviously many distinguished guests have already boarded the ship.

The two boarded the cruise ship, and a waiter wearing white gloves waited for a long time.

"Sir, please show your identification again."

personal I.D?The invitation letter has clearly been given to the waiter below...

The woman grabbed the man's arm slightly.

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of golden eyes.

The ancient austerity and sternness of the golden pupil seemed to penetrate the air, and the majesty flowing in it caused the waiter's face to change slightly. This is the most noble blood he has ever seen tonight.

"This way, please, Mr. Xia, it is our honor to have you and Ms. Chu here." The waiter turned sideways and respectfully stretched out his hand as a gesture.

The second investigation itself is to detect whether the visitor is of mixed race.

The man put on his sunglasses again, held the woman's hand, walked forward with a blank expression, and set foot in the core area of ​​the cruise ship.

The second floor of the cruise ship is a casino, filled with air-conditioning, the aroma of whiskey mixed with the smell of perfume, almost all the croupiers are tall and handsome white women in high heels, and the waiters walk through the crowd, carrying a full bottle of wine. Whiskey glasses...

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, what should we do next?" The woman raised her wrist and whispered to the communicator hidden in the bracelet, while her wrist also covered her mouth.

The man beside him tilted his head slightly. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly with his sunglasses on, his silence was enough to show that he was speechless.

He took the woman's hand and walked towards the stairs leading to the third floor.

"Stop fiddling with your little props, I'm by your side. This cruise ship has nine floors, five of which are luxurious cabins, the second floor is the casino, the third and fourth floors are lounges, and the fifth floor is the location of the auction. "Chu Zihang whispered, "Are you interested in gambling?"

"Stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs!" Xia Mi stood firm, "Hey, but don't you think this is like a blockbuster Hollywood spy movie?"

"Then let's go to the lounge and wait. There are at least two hours before the auction starts. The auction will not start until the cruise ship sails into the open sea."

"We don't collect intelligence?"

"Gathering information?"

"That's right, that's right, you see so many mixed races here, we'll investigate them thoroughly, and we'll catch them all afterward!" Classmate Xia Mi shook his fist secretly.

"...The secret party is not the FBI, and the hybrids are not drug lords." Chu Zihang tried to explain, "We never pretend to be law enforcement officers, but we do our best to protect the secrets of the dragon clan from spreading in the human world. All hybrids in this regard The forces are all the same. If a certain mixed race or a mixed race force commits an unforgivable thing, not only the secret party, but all the mixed races will take action to eliminate it and minimize its influence, so as to reduce the impact on the entire mixed race group. The impact. Anyone who causes potential harm to the mixed-race world, no matter who it is, will face the hostility of the entire mixed-race world."

Xia Mi tilted his head and asked curiously: "Why is the secret of guarding the dragon clan consistent with the hybrid domain? I was curious about this before."

While talking, they had already arrived at the lounge on the third floor. After asking the attendant to get the room card, the two came to a luxurious room.

"This question is very complicated. I have thought about it, and I have also asked Professor Schneider and Principal Angers." Chu Zihang said slowly, "A large number of mixed races are for the sole purpose of enjoying power."

"Exclusive power?"

"Yes, some hybrids think that we are a species above ordinary humans. We are far superior to humans. We also master speech and alchemy. More importantly, we also understand science. We control the wealth of dragons and humans at the same time. , so we can easily step into the upper echelons of society." Chu Zihang said softly, "But this matter cannot be announced."

He hesitated for a while, and continued, "If this matter is made public, it will directly lead to the split between the hybrids and ordinary humans. No one would like to have a creature that is better than themselves, no matter if it is a hybrid, Still human."

Xia Mi took off her veil, fanned the wind with her small hands, and hummed: "I understand, the purpose of the hybrid race to wipe out the dragons is actually to wipe out the monarchs of the old era, so that they can ascend the throne of the new era? But for humans? In other words, the hybrids are the new dragons, how the hybrids wipe out the dragons, how humans will deal with the hybrids."

"Yes, the vast majority of the mixed races are aware of the horror of the dragon race. Once the dragon race returns, the ancient humans will not be able to resist at all. When the human world collapses, the mixed races will lose their foundation to stand at the top. This is the most direct contradiction between the two sides. .”

Chu Zihang was silent for a while, and then said: "Half-races are human beings, maybe there is no such irreconcilable contradiction between dragon races and half-breeds, but in this era when the monarchy is left behind, the concept of 'everyone is equal' has already taken root in the thinking of modern humans. And an ethnic group that is born above the world in all aspects will naturally attract jealousy and criticism. There is a saying in China that 'other races must have different hearts'."

"Everyone is equal?" Xia Mi asked curiously, "Is this kind of talk really rooted in the thinking of the human world?"

"It is far from being realized, but at least it has become the mainstream. No one dares to deny this in public, otherwise it will definitely attract a frenzy of public opinion." Chu Zihang said lightly, "I have a senior who is studying sociology. Many people understand that the word 'equality' cannot be truly realized no matter where it is, and many people are aware of the hierarchy that exists in the dark side of society, but the reason why the dark side is dark is because it is never possible to get the sun Come down and discuss, this is the characteristic of this era.”

"It's clear, but you don't accept it?"

"You can say that." Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is very complicated, and it cannot be summed up in a few words. If you are interested in knowing more, I will introduce my senior brother to you next time."

"Senior brother, do you think ordinary humans will fight against half-bloods like half-bloods against dragons after learning the secrets of dragons?" Xia Mi asked softly.

"Actually, what we are really worried about are those politicians and capitalists who hold power." Chu Zihang said in a low voice, "They are the ones who control social resources and stand at the top. Once these people know the secrets of the Dragon Clan, they will definitely Intervene and mobilize all forces to seize the inheritance of the Dragon Clan. No matter how powerful the mixed race is, it is far from being able to resist the violent group with the country as the unit. In this regard, the vast majority of the mixed race choose to integrate."

"assimilate into?"

"Just like the Snake Hachi Family, rooted in the trunk of this big tree in Japan, making itself inseparable from the whole country, not being a monarch but better than a monarch, so the head of the Snaki Hachi Family has the Shadow King It’s a symbiotic relationship.”

Xia Mi continued: "Are you worried that once the secret of the mixed race is revealed, this symbiotic relationship will end?"

"Yes, human society may be able to accept the existence of individuals who possess extraordinary power, but it is impossible to accept a group that transmits extraordinary power through blood." Chu Zihang said seriously,
"Especially the national government, for them, stability is the first priority, and an extraordinary ethnic group means the imbalance of the class."

"Even if the government won't intervene at first because of the power we have at our disposal, in the next ten or a hundred years, this relationship will be gradually divided. This is what some families are worried about."

"Even if they are powerful enough to affect the economic rise and fall of a country, they don't want to gamble on an uncertainty. They just need to monopolize the secrets of the dragon clan while relying on this power to survive in the human world as they have done for thousands of years in the past. It’s okay to be high.”

"To give another inappropriate example, you have the ability to travel freely for a week. With this ability, you can easily accumulate huge wealth by buying and selling lottery tickets, stocks, etc. In this case, you will tell this secret to others. You won't, making a fortune silently is the most correct choice. Even in order to continue this kind of life, you will eliminate everyone who stands in your way."

Xia Mi said thoughtfully: "For the mixed races, the dragon race is the most likely and easiest existence to pull them down from the top of the human world. After that, those who are ordinary humans but master Leaders who control the power of the country, and plutocrats who control the lifeline of the economy."

"Yes."

"Then what about the secret party?" Xia Mi tilted his head, "The secret party is an idealistic fighter on the contrary? Fighting bloody battles with dragons to protect world peace?"

Chu Zihang smiled wryly.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

Before Chu Zihang could speak, a cold and hoarse voice came from their earphones.

That was the voice of Executive Minister Schneider. He officially entered the channel, which meant that the mission was about to begin.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." Schneider said lightly, "Student Xia Mi, I regret to tell you that some members of the secret party are actually the first type. They regard dragon slaying as a business."

"Business?" Xia Mi was stunned.

"Things like hatred can't last for a few generations, but the war between the secret party and the dragons has lasted for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, we have many allies, some of whom never end, but they provide us with generous The price of financial support is to share the glory and wealth of the dragon family with us after the war." Schneider whispered, "This is the dragon slaying business."

Xia Mi was silent for a moment and said, "Then what about the rest? Ideal fighters?"

"Ideal soldier? Don't call him such a nice name. He's just an avenger. The hatred won't last for a few generations, but the first generation will definitely go deep into his bones."

"That's it..." Xia Mi said softly, "Which one is the majority among the secret party?"

"The majority is neither the first type nor the second type of Avengers just mentioned."

Schneider gave an unexpected answer.

"The ones who really account for the majority are those in between, the third type of dragon slayers like ordinary people who 'clear but don't accept'."

"Commonly known as the third party?" Xia Mi asked in surprise.

Both Chu Zihang and Schneider were silent.

"... No wonder they all say that you are very similar to Lu Mingfei." Schneider said quietly.

Even if he didn't see the front face, Chu Zihang could still imagine the teacher's twitching face at the moment.

"Only based on the word 'ideal', it is impossible for the secret party to survive for thousands of years, and as an important part of the secret party, it is various mixed-race families. What do these mixed-race families rely on to maintain their prosperity? It is dragon slaying, relying on The most important thing is the great achievements of dragon slaying, and the gold piled up in the dragon's lair. Every hybrid family has a classic legend, such as the dragon slaying history of the Beowulf family, and these legends are bound to be accompanied by a fortune. history."

Schneider's cold voice echoed in Kassel's main control room, and Manstein stood behind him frowning. He did not agree with Schneider saying these things to the students.

"But you will always know the former. The Beowulf family will not say how much gold they harvested in this war, they will only emphasize how many people were sacrificed in this dragon slaying, and emphasize that they won the war with the dragon."

"Of course, maybe I shouldn't use the Beowulf family as an example here, at least they are doing practical things, and they are infinitely better than those who never end, hiding in the palace and counting gold."

"Student Xia Mi, the third party is those who enjoy the benefits of slaying dragons, but will never admit that they go to slay dragons for these benefits. They stand in front of the Hall of Valor and praise the greatness of their predecessors. But they are well aware of the true meaning of dragon slaying, but due to their reputation, they will never admit it on any occasion. While they regard dragon slaying as a great action to protect world peace, they are acquiescing to the soldiers. sacrifice, and try their best to usurp all kinds of benefits for themselves."

Xia Mi frowned and said, "Do you want the benefits of both?"

"As a Chinese, I think you should use a common saying in your country here - if you become a bastard, you have to erect an archway." Schneider told a cold joke in a cold tone.

"But she's a girl, so she can't say such vulgar words." Xia Mi said in a nasty voice.

"Professor, are you referring to the ice sea incident ten years ago?" Chu Zihang suddenly whispered, "How many families participated in this incident?"

"Unfortunately, it's the entire school board." Schneider said coldly.

"The Gattuso family is also among them?"

"Of course, the Gattuso family was the first to insist on letting us go to sea."

"Brother Caesar's family is the third party?" Xia Mi interrupted suddenly.

"No... The Gattuso family has always been the unswerving first category. They never hide their purpose. The Gattuso family headed by Frost has always played the role of businessmen."

After finishing speaking, Schneider was silent for a while, and he didn't know if putting these words here was a good word for the Gattuso family.

"The real third category is the members of the school board who were silent in that meeting, but all chose to support the Gattuso family. The reason they supported afterwards was that this would benefit the secret party's dragon-slaying cause. They will never Will take the lead in standing out, always weigh the gains and losses, and stand vacillating in the middle."

Xia Mi said with emotion: "I feel that under their foil, the Gattuso family has become upright."

"I have to choose between a hypocrite and a real villain. I think I will choose the real villain. At least I know clearly that he is my enemy, and I don't have to worry about when my allies behind me will stab me."

Professor Schneider ended the talk with his excellent Chinese level.

"This discussion is over for the time being, by the way... where is Lu Mingfei?"

Schneider's doubtful voice came from the headset.

"Did he not join you?"

……

……

"Hahahaha, don't worry! It's definitely the wisest choice for Eliyi to marry into our family. We Lu family men dote on their wives the most!"

The uncle laughed heartily, raised his glass and clinked glasses with the girl in front of him who was holding the wine glass in both hands and looking slightly drunk.

Then he patted the old man on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't worry, my in-laws, if Mingfei dares to bully Erika, I will be the first to say no!"

Uesugi let out a muffled snort, and reluctantly raised his wine glass under the clear gaze of his daughter.

The childish girl at the side raised her wine glass, toasted her uncle and aunt, and said softly, "Our Eriyi family has had no friends since she was a child. This time, my father and I came here to visit my uncle and aunt because I was worried that she would be hurt in a foreign country." Bullying. Seeing relatives like uncles and aunts, we think we are too worried. If you have time in the future, you may wish to come to Tokyo, let us do our best as landlords and entertain you two."

My aunt raised her wine glass flattered, without him, this boy feels too special.

When she came to the door, the girl Yuanzhi held a bouquet of tulips in her hand and smiled slightly while standing in the sun. She was obviously a person like Qingshui, but she reflected infinite brilliance in the sun. , it seems that the first love who went to a distant place many years ago came back with a distant flower...

Unfortunately, my aunt's first love was my uncle.

And after listening to the story of Eriyi's childhood that he just described, my aunt felt a little more pity when she saw this delicate doll-like girl.

Who wouldn't feel pity for a pretty girl who had a miserable childhood?

"That's necessary! I've thought about it. It's definitely inconvenient to hold the wedding in two places. It can be divided into two. When the time comes, one will be in China and the other in Japan. I'll have to trouble my in-laws to make arrangements there."

Uncle boldly filled up the wine, and said with the momentum that Uesugi would not stop until he poured it down,
"Come, father-in-law, drink!"

Uesugi forced a smile and raised his glass.

Lu Mingfei on the side laughed.

　Why can I sleep from nine o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock the next day... This is probably the reason why the update is so late
