My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!.

"Are you Japanese?" Caesar looked at Masamune Tachibana carefully.

Tachibana Masamune has a straight nose and deep-set eyes, and his face is as clear as a knife. He is somewhat different from ordinary Japanese old people, but he also has pure East Asian black pupils, and his every move has a strong Japanese flavor.

"I have been in Japan for many years, and many people can't see that I have blood from other countries. Mr. Gattuso, how did you see it?" Tachibana Masamune showed a playful smile.

"Accent, you distinguish between palatal and velar sounds, which is typical of Russian pronunciation," Caesar said.

When many people criticize Caesar, they will say that he is a dandy, but none of these people can deny that this dandy is excellent in all aspects. Apart from his talent, he also benefits from the elite education of the Gattuso family. Sarah can speak all mainstream European languages, and he can easily distinguish the pronunciation of any country.

Among the Patriarchs present, even Yuan Zhisheng showed a surprised expression, obviously the other Patriarchs did not know about this matter.

"When Japan surrendered in World War II, there were as many as 280 million Japanese left in China. Some of them were technical personnel who did not want to return home, some were Japanese overseas Chinese who came with the army, and some even joined the The Communist Party or the Kuomintang, as well as some businessmen and family members of ordinary civilians." Tachibana Masamune's eyes seemed to be covered with a long-lasting fog, which was an old man's memories of the times.

"Are you one of them?" Caesar asked.

"No, I am their descendant. My mother is a family member of the Japanese Kwantung Army. When the surrender was defeated, my father did not come to pick her up. At that time, the Chinese people in the Northeast rejected these Japanese who were forced to stay. Fortunately She looks good, and finally committed herself to the Soviet Far East Army officer who entered the Northeast." Tachibana Masamune said, "I have half of Russian blood on my body, I grew up in Russia when I was a child, and I didn't have the opportunity to return to Japan until the 90s. I think Japan is my hometown."

Tachibana Masamune admitted it frankly, and he didn't mean to deliberately conceal it. If a person's past life was not good, it is normal for him not to want to mention it to the people around him.The only problem was that he was from the Soviet Union, which made Caesar have to think of that former Soviet icebreaker, which happened to be the time in the 90s.

The water boiled quickly. Tachibana Masamune lifted the iron pot, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and poured the water away.This is the procedure in the tea ceremony, the first hot water is only used to heat the tea bowl.

Unlike most tea leaves that need hot water, Tachibana Masamune talked with Caesar about the academy, and then he picked out two spoonfuls of Gyokuro with a wooden tea spoon. These tea leaves are thin and soft, and only need a water temperature of about 60 degrees Just brew it. For those who are used to Chinese tea, it may not be easy to get used to.

Tachibana Masamune pulled out the golden ancient silk gauze around his waist to place the tea bowl, gently twirled it in his hand, turned the side with the bamboo sparrow pattern towards the trio, and bent down to serve the tea.

At this time, the first person to take the cup of tea should be Caesar, he is the captain of the Kassel team, of course the leader is the first to stand up to the obligation of etiquette, but the person who takes the tea has become Lu Mingfei , She picked up the golden ancient silk gauze in front of her, bent over to take the tea bowl with a calm expression, also used the ancient silk gauze as a cushion, and spun it clockwise twice in the palm of her hand, so that the pattern faced Tachibana Masamune.After drinking tea, she looked down at the pattern on the teacup with a look of admiration.

The Japanese like to use various ways to package the few gadgets in their hands into tall things, such as kendo, aikido, flower ceremony, and tea ceremony. If you don’t understand it, they will contemptuously say that you are mediocre. .Therefore, the tea ceremony has a very high status in Japanese culture. Tachibana Masamune's action is like a silent attack. The test is whether the commissioners of the Kassel headquarters understand cultural etiquette.

Among the trio, only Lu Mingfei knew Japan best. She hadn't deliberately studied the Japanese tea ceremony, but she had heard about it after being influenced by various anime. Just now, when Caesar faced this cup of tea, he suddenly noticed the deep meaning in it. The changed face lightly touched Lu Mingfei under the table as a call for help.Lu Mingfei reacted in an instant, and went to pick up the tea with the image of beautiful anime girls tasting tea ceremony in her memory.Although there would be a suspicion of disregarding the priority, the people in the Japanese branch don't know who is the real boss among the three. Compared with being rude in etiquette, it's better to deal with it like this.

Caesar and Chu Zihang kept their eyes on each other and observed Lu Mingfei's every move from the corner of their eyes, silently remembering that if the other party wanted to use the tea ceremony etiquette to attack, they had to use the tea ceremony etiquette to break it. to community leaders.

Tachibana Masamune served tea to Chu Zihang and Caesar again, with Lu Mingfei as an example before them, the two of them naturally memorized the way of handling the tea ceremony by heart, without any mistakes.

"Creating tea is one of my few specialties. When a distinguished guest comes to visit, I would like to express my respect. I will not waste your precious time, Mr. Fuma and I. Inuyama-kun will leave first, and the affairs of the academy are fully supported by the students. Ms. Sakurai and Ryoma You are in charge of logistical planning." Tachibana Masamune stood up and said goodbye, "I hope you all enjoy your time in Japan and the mission goes well."

The three of them sat straight, and even Chu Zihang watched the big bosses go away with a faint smile. In the end, only Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family they were most familiar with, was left on the balcony.

"How do you feel?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"The tea is not bad, but it's a bit hot." Lu Mingfei said.

"No...I'm talking about your impressions of the Japanese branch." Yuan Zhisheng was almost defeated by Lu Mingfei with only one sentence. To be honest, it was difficult for his brain circuit to keep up with these Kassel employees. Neuropaths.

"I originally thought that the Sheqi Bajia would be eight shapeless old men with a burst of yin in their nostrils. When they met us, they would come up to fight without saying a word. Afterwards, they twisted their necks and smiled. Young people are not bad, like that.” Caesar turned his head and glanced at the long road where the owners disappeared, so as not to accidentally be heard chewing their tongues behind their backs, “In fact, they are all extraordinary ordinary people.”

"An extraordinary ordinary person?" Yuan Zhisheng savored this strange description.

"Well." Caesar nodded, "They are in high positions, sitting at the top of the underworld in Japan, controlling the lives and deaths of countless people and huge wealth, but they will also hide things they don't want to talk about. It's a well-timed joke, not some non-human cultivating master. I like this very much, compared with those in my family, they are very unique, so unique that there is no second person similar to him in the world."

Caesar did not say who it was, but Lu Mingfei guessed that Caesar was referring to his father Pompey.

"If the Patriarchs are fortunate enough to know that they are evaluated in this way among the younger generations, they might be very happy." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Shouldn't you be very angry?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head curiously, "I heard that you Japanese have a very serious concept of seniority. Even in the first grade at school, you can't disobey the seniors in the second grade, otherwise you will be punished." The seniors gathered together to bully them. It is a big taboo for juniors to comment on seniors like this."

"In the eyes of the subordinates, the patriarchs may be respectable elders, but in my opinion, they are really like Caesar's evaluation, they are a group of extraordinary ordinary people." Yuan Zhi smiled.

"That's because you're the young master. If you're an underdog, try again? If you can grind you to powder, you can only look up." Lu Mingfei pouted.

Everyone here is from a noble family, a famous Italian family, a rich second generation in China, a young master of the Japanese underworld, and Lu Mingfei is an unknown Cinderella. It is an honor to compete with all the big guys on the same stage today.So when she looks at things, she still maintains her previous concepts. Guys like Yuan Zhisheng who are born with a golden key in their mouths have become friends with the eight big brothers since they were young. They will definitely not understand that. envious eyes.

"I didn't say that I don't respect them, every patriarch is my teacher." Yuan Zhisheng spread out the chart on the table, and marked a circle on a certain position, "Stop chatting, let's talk about the mission Well, it means that Norma has already given it to you, and this time I will be responsible for adding more detailed details to you."

When it comes to the task table, the atmosphere becomes serious. This is what a commissioner from Kassel should look like. He goes to the hall and goes to the kitchen. When he should be serious, he has a correct attitude and never smiles.

"This is the sea chart of the Sea of ​​Japan. The icebreaker Lenin sailed here in 1992 and sent out a distress signal. It is 120 nautical miles away from the coastline of Japan. It is an absolutely safe offshore sea. There are no hidden reefs, icebergs, and turbulent eddies. For an icebreaker of this tonnage, an accident in that place is like Miyamoto Musashi falling to his death when stepping on a rock when he went out. It is a ship designed to conquer the extreme north of the world, and it will not sink if it is hit by a torpedo head-on. But the fact that such a ship wrecked in safe waters is still one of the biggest unsolved cases in the Japan Coast Guard files."

"I thought you couldn't tell jokes just like senior brother. This metaphor is so quintessential that even foreigners can understand it." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

There is always something in a country that can export its culture to the world, just like when Chinese go to a prosperous foreign city, no matter Tokyo, London, Paris or New York, they can always find a place called Chinatown.And Miyamoto Musashi is one of the cultural symbols of the Japanese. He has the name of a sword master, a hero of the Warring States Period, and his status is like the king of Japanese swordsmen. Anyone who knows something about Two-dimensional must have heard of him. daimyo.

"It's nothing, using him as a metaphor is just that I am very familiar with him." Yuan Zhisheng said lightly.

"I always feel that your next sentence is, I have learned his sword skills." Lu Mingfei always felt that there was something in Yuan Zhisheng's words.

"You're right." Yuan Zhisheng was calm and calm, leaving Lu Mingfei alone in a mess, this realism is really pretending to be invisible!You, tortoise, are actually very boring, right?You like to let pretty girls dance and cheer for you and shout 666, right?No wonder Yabuki Sakura appeared the most among the people around her!And said he didn't like it, you bastard who delays other girls' youth!
Counting old and new grudges together, Lu Mingfei complained maliciously.

"The Japanese Coast Guard doesn't know why the Lenin appeared there. It didn't invade Japan's territorial waters, and the Russian side didn't intervene. There's no way to investigate this matter." Yuan Zhisheng continued, "The search for this sunken ship is a major issue of the Academy. Started in recent years, it is suspected of carrying cargo related to dragons, but this work is going very difficult, because it is one of the deepest seas in the world. It was not until a few weeks ago that the search had a breakthrough. That is the heartbeat sound that you all know, after the Japanese branch cooperated with the headquarters to confirm repeatedly, the two sides reached a consensus before setting the goal of this transoceanic operation."

"The headmaster said, let's blow it up," Caesar said.

"That's right, but he may not have made it clear to you that the location where the Lenin sank was directly above the Japan Trench, which is integrated with the Mariana Trench. It is an abyss under the sea, thousands of kilometers long. As the dividing line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, submarine volcanic activities are frequent, the geology is quite unstable, and plate impacts form staggered cracks." Yuan Zhisheng said, "It is the deepest seabed in the world, and it is the most mysterious place on earth. The area where almost no one has arrived is called the Abyss, and there is very little information, and most of our understanding is based on speculation. According to the results of sonar scanning and detection, the location of the Lenin is likely to be in that Abyss.”

"I thought it was just a deep dive... but I didn't expect to directly challenge the difficulty of the Guinness Book of Records for the deepest part of the world!" Lu Mingfei was stunned, it was as if she had been tied to a giant timer. The bomb was on, and I could only pray to my brother to dismantle it before it exploded. After working for a long time, my brother finally stopped, and she happily said that it was done?Chu Zihang shook his head and said no, this is not a time bomb, it is actually a nuclear bomb, I can't figure it out...

The difficulty rises a bit fast, you can't play monsters across levels, right?Lu Mingfei was a little dizzy.

"From this, we can reasonably guess that the cargo transported on the Lenin is actually a dragon embryo. We don't know where it is destined for, and who it belongs to. We only know that an accident caused the Lenin to sink above the trench. It sank, and all the evidence was wiped out, and the dragon embryos on board sank into the depths of the trench." Yuan Zhisheng continued, "Dragon embryos are not something that will be destroyed easily, and the extremely deep seawater has become its perfect The protective layer, in the kind of place that is located in the restricted area of ​​life on earth, this embryo can hatch safely without any interference. If the sonar of the scientific research team did not monitor the heartbeat by accident, it is very likely that when it hatched and formed, That's how we know a dragon is in the water next to Tokyo."

"Are you sure what kind of dragon it is?" Chu Zihang asked.

"No way, but considering the sound of the heartbeat is so strong that it can penetrate thousands of meters of sea water, the bloodline level will not be so low."

"The king of sea and water?" After a few seconds of silence, Caesar threw out a possible speculation.

Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang both nodded slightly to show their agreement. This is also a possibility that most people can think of, although for dragon embryos, the seawater pressure thousands of meters deep and the abyss environment are not a problem at all. , but the adaptability of each dragon will also be different.

Just like the King of Bronze and Fire, the palace is submerged in water, and the place of residence is still air. They are not so adaptable to water, and they will not let themselves grow up in water.If the embryonic dragon showed excellent adaptability to sea water, then even if it is not the king of the ocean and water, it is at least a descendant of the water king with a high affinity for the water element.
