Chapter 406: Be a grandson first, then a grandfather; if you want to ride a dragon, kill it first
Ange looked at the pretty figure that flashed out from behind Chu Zihang. The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes moved when she smiled, as if she was embracing the hazy rain of the Jiangnan water town, but also with the bright and freshness of the rouge of the north.
He glanced at the next president of the Lionheart Society who had an expressionless face beside him, and a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes.
She didn't rush to open the gift Lu Mingfei had prepared for her. Instead, she smiled at the girl and said in a gentle and mellow voice, "You must be Xia Mi, the A-grade freshman in the preparatory class. You are indeed as beautiful as Finger said."
Xia Mi's beauty transcends age and nationality, and is non-aggressive and pleasing to the eye. There is hardly a single flaw to be found on her body...
Except for one slightly regrettable dimension.
"Oh, Senior Brother Finkel is really something. He always says these honest words~" Xia Mi was not embarrassed at all and happily accepted Angé's praise.
It’s hard to say how powerful the world’s strongest dragon slayer is, but he is quite eloquent. It is estimated that he was a playboy who was very good at pleasing girls when he was young. Chu Zihang must stay away from him in the future.
In fact, she had seen Ange a long time ago. When Fingel was ordered to come to Beijing to interview new students in the preparatory class, she followed him to the airport to catch a glimpse of the world's strongest dragon slayer.
I originally wanted to test Angers's background, but there were too many people at the airport and the location was too sensitive, so any small movement would be magnified infinitely.
So in the end, he could only give up with regret and watched the two of them board the plane and head south to recruit Lu Mingfei to enroll.
But that was all in the past. In the current situation, if Ange wanted Lu Mingfei to enter Kassel College, he would have to give up the position of principal and invite him three times, otherwise Lu Mingfei would probably not be interested.
Finkel, who was enjoying the show, was caught off guard when his name was called. He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Xia Mi's frank look of "I am naturally beautiful and I can't help myself", he finally swallowed his words and just gave her a thumbs up, saying everything.
As expected of a beautiful girl who could win over Chu Zihang, she is really thick-skinned.
Professor Mans and others had seen Xia Mi when they were in the mountain city. They did not seem surprised at this time, but just looked at the body bag on the ground curiously. They could vaguely hear the sound of labored breathing, and it was obvious that the cargo inside was a living thing.
Or rather, it is a living thing for the time being.
"Did something unexpected happen?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows in surprise. He clearly remembered that the trauma he inflicted on Friedrich was limited to the nightmare and did not affect his real body.
"Oh, just now when we were going back, we found that he had somehow broken free from his restraints and was so bold as to hide and try to attack us." Xia Mi patted his chest with lingering fear. "Thanks to my senior brother's alertness, he noticed something was wrong so early, otherwise we would have been injured just now."
This was a lie. As expected, what Zhang Wuji's mother said was right. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
If Chu Zihang had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a girl as beautiful as Xia Mi could lie without blinking, just like when he killed people.
Only a few people knew Xia Mi's identity. Apart from the two Bronze King and Fire King who were fighting outside, only Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei knew it.
In the eyes of Ange and others, she is a beautiful mixed-race girl who is talented, smart and cute.
"So you beat him half to death?" Finkel spoke at the right time. This development was in line with Chu Zihang's style of killing embryos.
"No, no." Xia Mi shook her head and stretched out three green fingers to gesture: "Strictly speaking, at most one-third will die."
Professor Mans's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt a trace of regret inexplicably in his heart. Such a good girl actually had the same comedic talent as Fingel. He hoped that she would not become another source of fun for Kassel Academy in the future.
But obviously now is not the time to complain.
He looked at the body bag, whose breathing was barely discernible, and looked at Chu Zihang: "Who is in here?"
There is no doubt that the incident that made the principal go to Beijing on purpose and rush to look for Lu Mingfei as soon as he landed must be related to the person in the bag.
"That's an old friend of mine. I've been looking for him for a long time, but I haven't been able to find him." Ange looked at the bulging bag, his lips still holding that elegant arc, but deep in his eyes it was as if a frozen pond had quietly cracked open a crack, revealing the coldness that had accumulated for nearly a hundred years. Just looking at it gave people a chilling feeling:
"It's all thanks to Ming Fei, otherwise I don't know how much more manpower and resources would be spent to reunite with him."
When Professor Mans heard this, he immediately understood that this should be the mysterious person the principal had been looking for for a long time.
He was a descendant of the German nobility. His ancestors had worked with Ange's teacher, the Marquis Gambet, under the German Emperor. Long before he entered Kassel Academy, he had heard about the tragic annihilation of the first generation of the Lionheart Society, in which only Ange was left.
At that time, the elders and future leaders of the Secret Party were all killed. When Ange, who was seriously injured and in a coma for a year, woke up, he carried the expectations and hatred of all the deceased alone, climbed to the top step by step, became the leader of the Secret Party, and became a world-famous Avenger, the strongest dragon slayer.
Later, when Mans became a tenured professor at Kassel College and joined the executive department to lead missions, he had higher authority and knew the whole story of the "Summer Mourning" incident. He understood that the tragedy was caused by a despicable betrayal.
The principal has never given up on finding the other party over the years. As for what he will do after finding the other party, it is hard to say. Anyway, Ange masters hundreds of torture and interrogation methods. He used to study medicine at Cambridge and knows how to make people die in the most painful way. He can ensure that the betrayer will repent every second of his breath in extreme pain.
In contrast, the younger generation, such as Caesar and Nono, who were unaware of the situation, looked at each other with confusion and curiosity in their eyes, thinking that the principal's friend might be a little bit unreliable.
But now they also knew why Angers came here.
"I thought you came here for the dragon named Fenrir, but it was all for nothing." Fingel sighed in pretended disappointment, but in fact he was an excellent observer. He keenly noticed that the principal was unwilling to talk in depth about this matter, so he helped to change the subject.
Sure enough, once the topic of slaying the dragon came up, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"As for slaying a dragon, it shouldn't be a big problem with Mr. Lu Mingfei here, right?" Intern Selma had witnessed the shocking scene of Lu Mingfei slaying a dragon with one sword in the mountain city, and her tone was filled with almost blind confidence.
"That's not the case." Ye Sheng shook his head and retorted, "We were able to successfully deal with the Bronze and Fire Kings before because we had already locked down the location of Bronze City.
But now we have no idea where Fenrir is hiding, and we don’t know where to use our strength.”
Professor Mans had already mentioned this question at the airport, but Finger, the intelligence king, shared a piece of urban anecdote:
"Speaking of which, I heard some gossip this morning. They said that the Beijing subway originally only had two lines: the first line and the loop line. Every time the last train stopped running, an empty train would run along the entire line. This was to return the disturbed souls to their resting place for eternal rest. Otherwise, all sorts of strange things would happen."
He looked at the others and said, "Do you think this has something to do with the hidden dragon?"
"This..." Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Xia Mi out of the corner of his eye. How careless was this guy to come up with such a widely circulated urban legend?
Xia Mi was incredibly thick-skinned. She didn't even realize he was being talked about. Instead, she pretended to be thinking seriously, "Brother, where did you hear that? I've lived in the capital for so long, how come I've never heard of such a strange story?"
"Online," Finkel said matter-of-factly. "I discovered yesterday when I was surfing the internet. Chinese netizens are all talented and well-spoken. They can chat about anything, anywhere. I really enjoy chatting with them."
"I told them I was a foreign tourist visiting Beijing and asked them if they had any precautions. They were very welcoming, telling me to definitely try douzhi (soybean juice), ma tofu (sesame bean curd), and fried liver. They also told me not to fool around and just go through the main gate and wait in line at the Forbidden City; there were shortcuts, and they also told me not to let local friends take you up the Great Wall."
Finally, someone brought up this urban legend, telling me not to wander around at night, saying that foreigners have a strong yin energy and are easily haunted by ghosts.
Hearing this, Caesar looked at Ye Sheng thoughtfully: "If it's a subway line, your 'snake' should be able to conduct a large-scale exploration along the tracks. How far can it cover?"
At present, they have no extra clues. Since Finkel found a piece of information that may be related to dragons, they have a direction for investigation. Why not give it a try?
After all, the Dragon King's hatchery may not necessarily be in the real space. Some dragons may hide their eggs in the Nibelungen, which is also known as the Land of the Dead. This coincides with the urban legend that the empty train sends the dead souls to their resting place for eternal sleep.
The only thing on their side that has the ability to detect and perceive over a large area is Ye Sheng's Word Spirit, the Vacuum Snake. They just need to let it take a spin around the Beijing subway, and they should be able to lock onto a few suspicious targets, and then send people to check them one by one.
Ye Sheng was still thinking about whether he could ask Professor Mans to give them a few days off to continue to rely on the guidance of Boss Ping Ping Lu. He planned to take Yaji to play here and take her to meet his parents. Suddenly, he was brought back to his senses by the mention of this and replied:
"Snakes are more active in metal and can extend their search area by about double that of water."
In water, his territory is within a radius of five kilometers, and in metal conductors, his territory can be expanded to a radius of ten kilometers.
Of course, this is not the limit of the Word Spirit, but his limit.
In the relatively simple waters of the Yangtze River, he could easily construct a structural map of the riverbed in his mind, but the urban environment, especially the intricate subway network, contained too much information.
If the "snake" is allowed to spread unchecked, the massive amount of useless information will instantly overwhelm his perception and rapidly consume his physical strength.
But, if someone else comes...
Ye Sheng looked at Lu Mingfei. This copy of the Dragon Slayer Lucassi's Word Spirit, the Vacuum Python, was much stronger than his little diamondback snake. It was estimated that it could sweep the entire subway line in Beijing without even moving itself.
But this thought only flashed through his mind. Lu Mingfei's ability was obviously top secret and could not be known to outsiders.
Now, he and Lu Mingfei are in the same group.
I'm not familiar with Kassel College.
Everyone then started discussing how to find Fenrir, and Xia Mi listened from the side, not in a hurry to get involved.
The news about Fenrir was posted on the Hunter Market website. She knew that it was probably done by some old Biden who was hiding behind the scenes.
But no matter how hard the other party tried, they would not be able to know that Fenrir had been reborn. It would conservatively be estimated that it would take ten years to hatch.
Since that’s the case, I might as well use my brother’s body to add some merits to Chu Zihang.
Anyway, Lu Mingfei has already taken the lives of two Dragon Kings, so he won’t be short of the lives of the King of the Earth and the King of the Mountain.
First, let Chu Zihang become a dragon slayer, so that he can change his job to dragon Q later...
Ahem, I can propose conditions later. I can say that I also contributed to killing the King of Earth and Mountain. This contribution will probably allow Kassel College to directly admit her.
As for Lu Mingfei's previous proposal...
Wouldn't it be better to participate in the dragon-slaying cause as a talented and beautiful rookie and be personally recruited by the leader of the secret party than to help the principal guard the traitor he has been obsessed with and enter Kassel College through the backdoor?
Having made up her mind, she immediately decided to take Chu Zihang back again later to borrow her brother's bones before Lu Mingfei sent someone to collect the body.
In other words, Lu Mingfei can't read minds, otherwise he would definitely praise him for being a friendly brother and a respectful sister.
However, after listening to so much from the Kassel Academy group, and seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to end this boring topic:
"It's just Fenrir, don't worry, leave it to me."
There are no grand words, no firm vows, only a kind of indifference that seems almost taken for granted.
After all, Xia Mi had just handed Fenrir to him personally yesterday.
Selma's eyes lit up when she heard that. Ye Sheng and Aki looked at each other and saw the joy of winning again in each other's eyes. With the boss taking action, they really didn't need to waste any more effort.
Professor Mans's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. Although he was still worried about the increasingly sharp conflict between Nuonuo and the Chen family, as long as she stayed with Lu Mingfei, he could find a way to gild her reputation and say that she took the key to open the Dragon King's Nibelungen...
Principal Ange looked at Lu Mingfei and raised the teacup in his hand: "In that case, we will wait for good news."
He can be said to be the person on the Kassel side who trusts Lu Mingfei the most.
Since the primary target Friedrich has been obtained, and Lu Mingfei has promised to complete the task of finding Fenrir, Angé does not plan to stay here for long.
The Chinese branch of Kassel College still has a lot of matters to deal with, and more importantly, he needs to "settle" his old friend as quickly and alone as possible.
Professor Mans and the others naturally stood up to say goodbye. Nuonuo held the key and looked at his mentor. His lips moved, and finally he just whispered, "Professor, thank you."
Mance sighed, waved his hand, and said nothing more.
The group walked towards the elevator. Ye Sheng was responsible for carrying the people, while Lu Mingfei and Ange were at the end, discussing the reward.
Because Xia Mi had just secretly sent a message and secretly decided on the person to kill the Dragon King, he gave up the idea of using Friedrich to exchange for Xia Mi's degree, and instead asked Angé to find out the whereabouts of his parents.
Since that kid Aze refuses to say, then he can do it himself.
Ange readily agreed, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to find out, after all, they traveled all over the world.
For this purpose, he will also prepare another reward that will definitely be worthy of Friedrich's worth.
Lu Mingfei also provided some inside information, such as Friedrich's disguise as Lin Fenglong had some unclear involvement with the Gattuso family over the years. He hid it so deeply, and he probably borrowed a lot of help from behind.
"You have already got the person, but he has been missing for so long, I am afraid they have realized it by now." Lu Mingfei did not give the things that Friedrich revealed to Ange, because he picked them up.
"Thank you." Ange's voice was still gentle, but only he knew the chilling feeling contained in it.
The elevator went directly to the underground garage. Ye Sheng opened the trunk and stuffed the still unconscious Friedrich in without any hesitation.
The two groups said goodbye, and Ye Sheng, the only one with a domestic driver's license, continued to drive. The vehicle drove smoothly into the traffic on Chang'an Avenue and headed towards the branch base.
However, after driving for a while, a temporary traffic control post appeared ahead. Flashing police lights and policemen wearing reflective vests signaled passing vehicles to stop for inspection.
Ye Sheng slowed down the car. Professor Mans frowned slightly. Although they had all the necessary paperwork, the "guest" in the trunk was a big trouble.
Once it is opened for inspection, the consequences will be disastrous.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.
At this moment, Ange, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly uttered a soft "Huh" and said to Professor Mance, who was sitting in the passenger seat:
"You guys handle it, I'll go first."
The moment the words fell, the invisible field expanded, and everyone in the car felt as if time had stopped. The principal in a black suit unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door and got out of the car. He glanced at the traffic control checkpoint in front of him, walked slowly to the back, opened the trunk lid, picked up the black body bag containing the person with one hand, and walked towards a taxi in front that had passed security check.
When he was about five meters away, everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and the principal's upright figure disappeared. Only the traffic police comrade outside the window walked to the car and knocked on the window, signaling them to accept inspection.
The domain of Word Spirit Time Zero quietly closed. In the space of less than a second, Ange had already disappeared into the hustle and bustle of traffic with Friedrich in the trunk, so fast that he left no trace.
Inside the car, Professor Mans, Ye Sheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they felt the tyranny of Time Zero and knew the terror of the world's strongest assassin.
"Knock knock--" the traffic police knocked on the window again. Ye Sheng lowered the window and cooperated with the inspection.
The traffic police checked his ID, asked him to open the empty trunk, and waved his hand to let him go.
The vehicle rejoined the traffic flow and headed towards the branch base.
And a reckoning spanning a century has quietly begun in an unknown corner of Beijing.
