Chapter 344: The cake is divided before the work is done
Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki did not go back to report. They were now in Kassel but their hearts were with Lu Mingfei. They informed Mans and stayed to eat with their boss.
The homestay that Su Enxi found was quite large, and she also hired a special chef, but unfortunately the chef was of little use, after all, they had a spicy hot pot for lunch.
Spiciness is a sense of pain. The eleven people present were all mixed-race. Although they were not afraid of the pain of being cut by knives and axes, they had little resistance to the pain of direct stimulation of the mucous membrane. They were hissing all the time during the whole meal.
Even the handsome iceberg Chu Zihang had to drink three bottles of milk to avoid the same fate as Finkel, who was in tears.
Perhaps the only one who was not knocked out by the spicy hot pot was Lao Tang.
After arriving in the mountain city, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. His mind was not focused on enjoying the food at all. Instead, he drank bottle after bottle of ice-cold beer, mainly to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
After the meal, Eri, who had been clamoring for spicy hot pot, played a defeat CG and walked into the bathroom with a slightly swollen fiery red lips and a bitter face, in order to wash off the hot pot smell on her body and cool down at the same time.
Lu Mingfei couldn’t stop smiling. This girl was not very knowledgeable, but she was also a little greedy. She would eat anything he put in her mouth. She was even brave enough to try brains which were hard for ordinary people to swallow, and she even dared to take a bite of the chili peppers that were full of “soup”.
Unlike Eri, who is a vegetable but loves to eat, Xia Mi is much more cunning. She always asks Chu Zihang to help her try the spiciness first, and even snatches his milk to drink. She does not show much embarrassment. If her performance were in a film or TV drama, it should be sweating profusely and making people's mouths water.
After cooling down with the air conditioner for a while, everyone started to move.
Jiang Wanzhi set out to pick up her parents, while Zhou Minhao followed Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Xia Mi and others to the Kuimen Project Command Post. Old Tang, Ryoma Xun and Eri stayed at home.
Originally, Xia Mi shouldn't have gone, but Lu Mingfei still called her along. This little dragon girl was too cunning and clever, and if he kept her, he was afraid that she would come up with some evil ideas again.
The two places are not far apart and can be reached in about ten minutes.
This was Lu Mingfei's first visit to the domestic Kassel branch's base, and it could only be said that it was ordinary and had no special features.
Professor Mans and Caesar had been waiting for a long time. When the former saw Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walking in front, a kind smile appeared on his usually serious face.
With only Ye Sheng and Caesar, he was not sure whether the Kuimen plan would go smoothly.
But if he adds these two handsome guys who shined in Japan's god-killing operation and even carried the whole game, then he can rest easy.
"Hello, classmate Lu Mingfei, I am Mans Rundstedt, professor of Magical Mechanical Design at Kassel College."
Rundstedt?
Lu Mingfei shook hands with him, his eyes looking a little strange.
This Kassel Academy has Guderian, Manstein, and now there is a Rundstedt. I really can't figure out whether it is the bad taste of parents in naming or the collective reincarnation and re-employment of Nazi German generals and marshals.
He really wanted to ask whether Guderian and Manstein had a common friend named Rommel, nicknamed the Desert Fox.
Professor Mans did not ignore others because of Lu Mingfei's extraordinary combat power. He greeted Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, Zhou Minhao and even Finkel. The German's rigor was fully reflected in him.
Lu Mingfei took advantage of this opportunity to find Caesar and put his arm around his shoulder in a very familiar way: "Hey, Master Kai, long time no see."
"It's been less than a week since we last met." Caesar did not break free from Lu Mingfei's arm. Although he was born into an aristocratic family, he did not reject this kind of "jianghu loyalty" and even mingled with student union members during daily training and activities.
"Haha, there's an old Chinese saying, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed.'" Lu Mingfei smiled, "I thought you had just experienced the horror of life and death, and would go back to Kassel to rest for a few days, but I didn't expect you to come back to slay the dragon so soon."
It was a coincidence that he had asked Finkel to find a way to lure Caesar back to the country, but before any action was taken, this young man came over on his own initiative.
Maybe it was really because he was just a spectator in the God-Slaying Operation and had no place to use his strength, so he wanted to come here to prove himself.
Caesar did come to China with the intention of proving himself, but he certainly would not say so, after all, a man has to maintain his dignity.
"I came here because there is a mission." He said calmly, "What about you? Why are you here too?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei withdrew his arm from his shoulder, his expression slightly complicated: "If the Dragon King revives in Italy, will you go?"
Caesar nodded slightly, knowing that he had asked a nonsense question.
Professor Mans was just about to invite everyone into the conference room to discuss the specific details of the Kuimen Project when footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Representatives from the Tang and Zhou families arrived together and entered the command post with great momentum. As important partners in this operation, these two families would naturally not miss the key meeting.
Their names cannot be missing from a tripartite collaboration film.
To cooperate with Kassel College, the Tang and Zhou families would naturally not send young people to take charge. Instead, the elders of the family would come forward.
Lu Mingfei hated dealing with Lao Deng the most, especially the elders from the aristocratic families. But perhaps because of their own notoriety, these aristocratic family bosses who were usually high and mighty actually looked at him with a bit of kindness, as if they were looking at their own nephews.
Glancing at Zhou Minhao, he shrugged and said that you are the only one in the Lu family who is now openly active, and the Lu family may rise again from your hands. In the past, the ancestors of the Lu family also had friendships with the Tang and Zhou families, so they will naturally welcome you with a smile.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Mingfei’s fighting power is too strong and we cannot ignore it.
Last night, the news that the Solomon Temple had been annihilated came back. The Zhou family elders applauded but were also secretly shocked. This Lu family kid is not only good at slaying dragons, but he is also ruthless to humans. He will become a great man! He will become a great man!
Lu Mingfei understood it, but still felt a little disappointed.
As expected, novels are all lies. Where do so many idiots come from? They know you are awesome and yet they come up to you and provide you with plots to show off and then get slapped in the face. The children of wealthy and powerful families with a rich background may not understand the truth, but they must know the pros and cons.
Aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years are best at judging the situation. If there is someone who is not smart enough, he would never appear in front of Lu Mingfei.
As a result, the afternoon tea party between Kassel College and Lu Mingfei turned into a casual chat between the two elders of the Tang and Zhou families and Lu Mingfei. Professor Mans wanted to interrupt but didn't know how to.
There is no way, just look at what others say.
"Ming Fei, my second uncle's cousin's nephew fought with your great grandfather in Xuzhou. He killed hundreds of devils and several Japanese half-bloods. Now my second uncle's cousin's nephew still has the guns he used in the war at home."
"My dear friend Ming Fei, your great-grandfather has a long history with my Zhou family. Back then, Mr. Lu was determined to kill Qinglong and overthrow the monarchy. My Zhou family also had elders who walked with him on the road of revolution. It's a pity..."
Listen, the first thing you say is that the ancestors have a long history and it is well-established, but what does Kassel College have?
Professor Mance has a very good relationship with Ange, and he also knows about the day of mourning a hundred years ago. But why did he say this? It means that Fei, we actually have a past to reminisce about. Back then, your great-grandfather was the first generation member of our Lionheart Society. He followed a large group of people to Cassel Manor, and only the principal survived. Thus, the world's strongest dragon slayer was born. It's just that he is old now and hopes that a successor will inherit his mantle. And you, Bone Amazing, are the only one to lead the future?
You are making a fuss, others are reminiscing about the glorious past, and you are here talking about how tragically and heroically your great-grandfather died, without even a body left. The Chinese people's most persistent belief in returning to their roots has also become a bubble. Oh, by the way, it was the principal who, with his seriously injured and dying body, burned your grandfather and others together and then buried them on the spot. What a shame.
Professor Mans is a serious and somewhat old-fashioned person, and he tends to speak directly, but he cannot participate in the conversation, but he knows someone who can.
He looked at Finkel, who was listening attentively with a cup of tea in hand, and signaled with his eyes that you kid are usually the most eloquent, so hurry up and change the subject, don't just chat about family matters here, it will almost be dark if you continue!
However, Finkel and Xia Mi were just like the loyal listeners of the Intelligence Department at the entrance of the village. They were concentrating their attention and did not notice Professor Mans's hint at all.
Just when he couldn't help but want to interrupt the endless small talk and talk about something serious, the representative of the Tang family took the initiative to bring up matters related to the Bronze and Fire King.
"It is said that the dragon tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire is actually under the Yangtze River. I am really ashamed. My Tang family has been rooted here for hundreds of years, but I didn't know that there was a real dragon king sleeping under my feet. I had to rely on the help of foreigners to know it."
The Tang family representative said as he bowed and said, "Thanks to you, Ming Fei, for taking action. Otherwise, we might still be in the dark and not know anything until they actually find the Dragon King's Tomb and cause trouble."
The Zhou family also echoed a few words. Lu Mingfei is worthy of being a descendant of the Lu family. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Even if he doesn't know his life experience, the sense of responsibility to protect China is engraved in his bones.
Professor Mans' mouth twitched. These mixed-blood families were really cunning. They would put pressure on Cassel whenever they got the chance, fearing that Lu Mingfei would be abducted by them.
But now is not the time to worry about these things. Anyway, he has gotten used to being disliked openly or secretly recently. He cleared his throat and said seriously:
"Everyone, now is the best time since the Bronze and Fire King has not yet awakened. If we can find the dragon tomb before it breaks out of its cocoon, we may be able to bring it back intact for research."
He unfolded a projection that showed a detailed scan of the explored waters, marking several blank areas:
"It is also rumored that the Bronze and Fire King Norton once forged an alchemical weapon that was powerful enough to kill other dragon kings - the Seven Deadly Sins. They should be buried with it under the Yangtze River. If we can find it, when other dragon kings revive in the future, we won't have to worry about how to break through their defenses and cause considerable damage."
He was speaking passionately, painting a beautiful blueprint, but he didn't notice that Finkel was quietly protecting everyone in front of him, holding a cup of tea and trying to hide his presence.
Professor, you are really brave! I admire you!
While muttering to himself, Finkel did not forget to secretly glance at other people's reactions.
The representatives of the Tang and Zhou families looked solemn, and it was unknown whether they were weighing how to gain the greatest benefit from this action or how to minimize the harm and avoid exposing or harming innocent people.
Caesar's icy blue eyes flashed with fighting intent. This nobleman actually wanted to have a real fight with the Dragon King, but the noise he would make would definitely attract everyone's attention. He might even be shooting at the Dragon King with a sniper rifle in his hand, and the local department's armed helicopter might be shining its spotlight on him, shouting at him to put down his weapon and surrender.
Chu Zihang remained expressionless as always, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
As for Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, who were the focus of attention, the former had a calm expression, with a kind of invincible loneliness of "I see all the heroes in the world as numerous as carp crossing the river, but I am the only one fishing by the river". Anyone who sees it will feel at ease and think that it is a safe thing.
But Finkel knew that with Lu Mingfei around, Kassel Academy would most likely get nothing despite all their efforts.
As for the latter, Xia Mi seemed like a rookie who was simply listening to the story, with a look of innocence and curiosity, and there was no sign that he might be a traitor.
Tsk, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front of them, and the waves in front of them die on the beach. The ancients were right.
Today's junior and senior students have such strong acting skills that he, who has won the title purely through hard work, will sooner or later be replaced!
After listening to this, Lu Mingfei asked a soul-stirring question: "Then the question is, who will get the Dragon King's cocoon and the seven deadly sins?"
This is an issue that cannot be ignored. Previously, neither the Tang and Zhou families nor Kassel College had made any statement on this issue. They just wanted to work together to find the Dragon King's tomb and get the things before considering the distribution.
But how could Lu Mingfei just sit there and watch them succeed? He took Constantine and the Seven Deadly Sins away to divert some attention first!
His meaning is now very clear. Since you all want me to take action, I have to make it clear who owns the spoils. After all, I'm not here just to do charity.
Professor Mans knew that there was a deeply hidden organization behind Lu Mingfei, and Tang Zhou and his family had also heard a little about it. They had not considered Lu Mingfei before, but now that he was here and agreed to take action, he naturally had the qualifications to share the cake.
The Zhou family actually didn't care. They were happy to have someone help share the responsibility of defending the country and protecting the people. If Lu Mingfei could deal with the Bronze and Fire Kings without them having to go out, they could just go home without doing anything.
Although the Tang family covets the legacy of the Bronze and Fire Kings, they will not compete with Lu Mingfei, who is bound to become a trend-setter of the times. After all, if the Dragon King really revives, they will have to send it back to reincarnation even if it means sacrificing their lives.
Now that Lu Mingfei has stepped in, they can continue to live a peaceful life without spending any manpower, so why not do it?
So the pressure came to Kassel College.
Professor Mans looked at Lu Mingfei and wanted to say the same thing as the Tang and Zhou families, "You can pick whatever you like," but he really didn't dare to say that.
After all, Kassel College really contributed manpower, money and effort, unlike the other two schools, which just watched by the river and would not take action until the Dragon King’s Tomb was found.
"I need to ask the principal for permission."
