Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

As Valdis said, the banquet was of a very high standard.

When Lu Mingfei and the others were led through the winding passage, what caught their eyes was a majestic hall. The long table in the center of the hall was covered with a snow-white tabletop, and the edges of the tablecloth hanging down were decorated with gold. The lines depict gorgeous patterns.

Around the long table were beauties who cut off their skirts and wore nun-like outfits like miniskirts, who were busy... well, they might be nuns, or they might be maids.

They wore exquisite makeup, eyelashes were eye-catching, and their lips were tender. Their snow-white and toned thighs moved under their skirts. They stepped barefoot on the snow-white wool carpet. Every time they only touched the ground with their toes, and their round toes were slightly curled. , like stepping on a pair of invisible high heels, walking and dancing on the thin clouds, elegant and light.

There was already a tall, burly, silver-haired man waiting at the long table.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the wool carpet as white as snow. He was hesitating whether to take off his shoes. Valdis had already walked over and reminded him: "Dear guests, there is no need to take off your shoes. The carpet will be stained." Naturally someone will replace it with a new one.”

That being said, Elena has taken off her shoes consciously. Obviously not everyone is qualified to step on this wool carpet.

Lu Mingfei and the others followed Valdis to the long table. The burly silver-haired man sat in the first seat at the head of the table. When Lu Mingfei and the others arrived, they stood up.

Valdis saluted respectfully to the silver-haired man: "Lord Shilun, I have brought three distinguished guests from Kassel College."

"Yeah." The silver-haired man just hummed in response, his chrysoberyl-like eyes not even bothering to move toward Valdis.

But then, when he looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, he immediately showed a friendly and affectionate smile, like the warm sunshine in winter: "Good morning, three distinguished guests, I am the Provincial Inspector General of the Solomon Temple Association, Shi Lun. Powell is responsible for supervising whether all temples violate the precepts. He is also the person who will conduct a thorough inspection of the Viana do Castelo temple and communicate with you all. Thank you for your presence, please have your meal first."

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, saying that the speed at which you changed your face was comparable to the speed at which a man named Loki in another world was slapped in the face.

But he didn't think it was that strange. The information Susie gave him had already written that the hierarchy within the Solomon Temple was strict, from low to high, they were divided into "servants", "attendants", "attendants", and "sergeants" There are six classes: "Knight's Retinue" and "Knight".

The Provincial Inspector General is responsible for supervising all branch temples, and his counterpart is the Holy City Inspector General, who is responsible for supervising the discipline of the main temple. In addition, there are the Legion Master, who is responsible for military management and general military decision-making, the Chief Priest, who is the second-in-command of the organization, and the Grand Master, the leader of the Solomon Temple.

These five people are the highest level of the Solomon Temple Order and constitute the highest class of the Solomon Temple Order - the Knights.

The "knight retinue" class below the knight is also called "preparatory knight". When a knight values ​​a sergeant-level person, the valued sergeant can choose to swear allegiance to the knight and become a knight retinue. After the knight abdicates or encounters an accident, his knight followers will be eligible to run to become new knights.

The number of knights' retinues that each knight can have varies. Usually, these knights' retinues, whose status is second only to the knights, are either the lower-level or elite of the main hall, or the leaders of large branch halls.

And the head of the Valdis branch who received them... considering that he was only the head of a branch in Portugal, his rank was probably just that of a sergeant, which was a full two years lower than the knight-class provincial supervisor in front of him. It's no wonder he doesn't take him seriously.

And those busy maids... They are not even considered the lowest servant class. In the Solomon Temple, they can only be regarded as "beautiful slaves" at best.

Of course, this is someone else's family matter. Although Lu Mingfei felt that such a large organization's order of hierarchy in modern society was somewhat anti-civilized, he couldn't say much. He just followed Chu Zihang and Su Qian Then introduce yourself.

After learning that Lu Mingfei was S-class, Inspector Shi Lun was also stunned for a moment.

Then he actually asked to move his seat one further down, so that Chu Zihang, the leader of the trio, could sit in the first seat, and Lu Mingfei would be in the second seat. As a knight of the Solomon Temple, he would sit in the first seat. Lu Mingfei took action.

Although the Solomon Temple is far inferior to the academy, it is still considered a major force among the mixed Europeans. The knight class among them can barely compete with the elders of the secret party or the directors of the academy. Logically speaking, they will not humble themselves in front of an S-class like Lu Mingfei. So far.

But unable to bear the other party's enthusiasm and determination, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to accept it.

At the banquet, they also talked about the internal investigation. Inspector General Shi Lun sternly stated that the truth would be revealed and that the Solomon Temple and the Secret Party would be given an explanation.

After all, Lu Mingfei and the other three were here as supervisors and witnesses, so they shouldn't press too hard. Chu Zihang was not good at words. Although Lu Mingfei had been trained by Tony and was not afraid of such occasions, Su Qian and Chu Zi had previously Hangdu told him to talk less and read more, so he just stared and ate and drank without saying a word.

Only Susie was trustworthy, and she was polite to Shi Lun for the entire meal. During this period, Valdis' branch master occasionally echoed the Inspector General of Shi Lun's words, but he was also cautious and did not dare to say more.

And his secretary Elena was responsible for peeling shrimp shells and pouring wine throughout the whole process without saying a word, like a conscientious mute waiter or housekeeping robot.

After drinking and eating, Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei to take out the agreements he had brought with him. They were all formal contracts requiring Shi Lun and Valdis to remain honest or never distort the truth in the subsequent investigation. They were also happy. Signed it.

At this point, today's task is completely completed. All that is left is to come every day or every other day to inquire and record the progress of the investigation, take copies of some relevant documents, and send them back to the school for sealing.

After all, it was a formality mission. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Mingfei and the three of them would eat, drink and have fun together until the mission was over, and then fly back home or school.

But for some unlucky people, accidents always follow.

After sending Lu Mingfei and the others away with a smile, Shi Lun was still sitting on the long table, looking at Valdis expressionlessly: "Let the others go out."

Valdis' face turned pale, he swallowed, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Everyone get out...and you, Elena, get out too."

"Yes." Elena lowered her head and walked out barefoot with the other maids.

Valdis stood up, lowered his head, and looked at Shi Lun tremblingly: "Uncle..."

"Idiot!" Shi Lun suddenly became furious and threw a heavy porcelain plate on Valdis' face.

Valdis wailed, and the porcelain plate was smashed into pieces by the huge force on his face, causing him to fall on his back on the cashmere blanket.

According to his blood, this didn't hurt very much, but he knew that if he didn't scream a little more painfully, he would only be more miserable next.

The next second, a riding boot stepped on his chest. Shi Lun lowered his head, his chrysoberyl-like eyes filled with anger: "Idiot! What on earth did you do! Why did Cassel College not only send members of the Lion Heart Society? President, we even sent an S-class freshman! What flaw did you let them discover!"

"Uncle...I didn't." Valdis felt as if dozens of anvils were pressing on his chest, roughly squeezing the air out of his lungs. "I did everything according to the orders of the main palace..."

He calls Shi Lun uncle, but they are both middle-aged, and Shi Lun looks about the same age as him.

This is because of the bloodline gap. There is obviously a difference of more than thirty years, but as the patriarch of the Powell family, Shi Lun's bloodline is far superior to Valdez's incompetent nephew, and it is even harder for time to leave traces on him. .

"If you strictly follow the orders of the main palace, you will not attract Cassel College at all!" Shi Lun grabbed Valdis' chin with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and grabbed a bag from the ground with his other hand. Putting the fragments of the porcelain plate into Valdis's mouth with horrified eyes, forcing him to close his mouth.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing. You are using cruder means than what the main palace requires to obtain more mixed-race women, in an attempt to obtain higher achievements in this way..."

Shi Lun covered his forehead with one hand: "But I really don't understand why you want merit? I have already made you my knight squire, what else do you want? Wait until I die to inherit my position as a knight?"

Valdis shook his head vigorously, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his golden eyes opened unconsciously due to the violent struggle and fear.

"Why are you shaking your head? Your eyes have already told me that you think," Shi Lun sneered, "Why don't you think about whether you are worthy? With your bloodline, you are worthy of coveting the knight's throne! You know that according to those three people just now What’s your standard rating? You’re a B-level hybrid at Kassel Academy!”

"How dare a trash like you look up to the throne!"

Shi Lun roared in a low voice, and opened another pair of pupils in his golden-green eyes. It seemed as if a torch was lit in the lobby, and his pupils burned Valdis' nerves as he roared.

After a long time, Shi Lun stood up: "Go and investigate those people... No, forget it, the situation will only be worse if you are found..."

He muttered to himself, and then gave a new order: "Dispose of all the experimental subjects, burn them all, or use hydrogen peroxide or sulfuric acid. In short, don't leave any DNA traces, and then destroy all the documents, the most valuable Leave that part to me, and besides..."

He stared at Valdis who got up from the ground: "Before you were born, our Powell family stopped being pirates. Don't learn the pirate style of your ancestors, unless you want to cause a real storm."

"Yes, uncle..."

Valdis lowered his head, and the blood from the porcelain shards in his mouth mixed with saliva dripped on the wool carpet. His dim golden eyes stared at the dizzy blood stains.
