Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 518 Witch
“Xie Zeer…” Lu Mingfei sighed and called out to Xi Zeer, who was more like a machine than a machine.

The latter suddenly came to his senses and stared blankly at the shattered pieces of armor in his hand.

This is certainly not a fragment of the armor of the Chakravartin, nor of the Vajra Warrior, but it is a piece of armor that has been completely disassembled and its original appearance is almost unrecognizable. One can only tell from the remaining patterns on the armor that it should have been a very majestic armor.

Xizel raised his head belatedly, and looked around blankly at the test site that had been completely reduced to ruins.

It wasn't just the test field that was destroyed. With the intervention of the third mobile armor, the battlefield was expanded. Half of the campus was involved in the battle. A small building was reduced to ruins, and part of the armor of the Seraph Iron Cavalry lay in the center of the ruins.

In the part of the mobile armor in front of him that could barely be considered the torso, there was a person whose half body was stained red with blood. His golden hair was stuck to his face because of the blood, and one of his eyes was barely open, but the white of his eye was red.

Poincare's twisted right hand was exposed to the cold rain, drooping weakly. Before the right armour of the Blazing Sky Cavalry was torn off, he retracted his right hand in time, preventing his arm from being torn off.

However, his arm was broken while he was struggling, and his left thigh bone was also broken, also because he was trying to break free from the torn armor. But compared to other parts of his body, such injuries were considered minor.

He could no longer see clearly what was in front of him, and could only barely confirm that no innocent people were involved in this rampage. Byron had been motionless after King Kong Warrior stopped moving, and seemed to have fainted.

As for himself, it was impossible for someone who had seen the abyss to escape unscathed... Although he wanted to say that, being beaten so cleanly still stunned him for a long time.

The Seraph Iron Cavalry Type IV is undoubtedly the most advanced mobile armor in the world. It cannot be compared with the outdated guy like the Chakravartin that was eliminated by the main force and sent as a teaching aid. It is also his favorite machine when he served in the Seraph Knights.

Poincare joined the Knights of the Blazing Order at the age of fifteen and retired at the age of twenty-two to join the Inquisition. In the same year he was sent to Marston.

Being apart from the Blazing Sky Knights for five years did not make him feel unfamiliar. He always held himself to the standards of a knight. So when he returned to the Blazing Sky Knights, he was still one of the most elite knights in the West.

However, the swords of the Blazing Sky Cavalry were broken, and all the long-range weapons were crushed before they could even fire. The reborn Wheel King simply disdained to use weapons, relying on the incredible movements that the mobile armor could never do, which led to his defeat so quickly.

This operation was discussed and carried out by Poincare and the colonel of the underground fighting arena. In fact, they had other tasks before this, but they were delayed because the Duke from the East was late.

After reporting César's matter, someone condoned their actions, which led to today's somewhat ridiculous test.

They disguised the Blazing Sky Cavalry, and everyone who saw the armor, except the principal, would think that it was Marston's own mobile armor coming to support them. There was no need to worry about the City Hall and the Municipal Police Department, as those who came from the same place as them would help them.

In the original plan, the Blazing Sky Cavalry Type IV, which had no rivals in Marston, would subdue the boy. No matter how skilled he was in armor, could he still defeat him after fighting the Blazing Sky Cavalry for seven years?

Then César would be secretly sent back to Florence. No matter why he came here three years ago or why he was targeted by the Inquisition, he would have to go back there again until they figured out what was wrong with him.

Originally, the Minerva Agency was responsible for issues concerning machinery and armor, but because the Minerva Agency became increasingly unorthodox, the higher-ups seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with them, and the Inquisition seemed to be planning to get involved.

...and the reason why the original is the original is because reality does not develop in that way.

Poincare struggled to get out of the remaining body of the Blazing Sky Knight, and caressed the completely scrapped Blazing Sky Knight with some sadness. The colonel in charge of its maintenance was still outside the school ready to meet him, but what he hoped most at the moment was that the reinforcements would arrive quickly.

When the rampage began, someone called the police and the doctor. He hoped that the doctor would arrive first because he could hardly open his eyes.

Poincare, who was leaning on the Seraph Iron Cavalry, looked up and saw a bloody sight, which made him unable to confirm whether the fire on the Chakravartin was still burning. What was the condition of the boy inside?

The armor was burning and still moving without any energy... This was something that mechanics could not explain. Perhaps only theology could explain it a little, but that was what he was least good at.

The golden eyepiece completely dimmed, and the Chakravartin had stopped moving the moment Lu Mingfei spoke. Without answering Lu Mingfei, Xizel silently looked at the corner of the campus that had been turned into ruins by his hands, and silently closed his eyes.

He could feel an indescribable fragrance lingering in his mouth. He couldn't tell whether it was the blood that overflowed when Kuanghua accidentally bit his mouth, or whether it was the taste of power and authority he had already experienced.

Xizel was no stranger to what happened to the Chakravartin, the frenzy. Once, the Minerva Agency almost cut him open, just to find out the reason for his frenzy.

...However, the frenzy only occurred when he was riding on a Seraph.

The names of Seraphim and Seraphim look similar, but they are completely different. The former is the most advanced armor. But the latter is the most powerful and the oldest armor. It is also the ancestor of all mobile armor today. The Seraphim Knights that frightened the Western countries a hundred years ago were the latter.

The neural control system is the key to the Seraph's strength, which makes a thin boy like him the most dangerous knight. The electrically controlled Seraph's Iron Cavalry and the main armor of the Western countries are like children in front of the former.

And now, Xizel's berserk can be used on these ordinary armors...

"Xizel?" Lu Mingfei called out again, but the other party didn't answer. He sighed quietly, took over the command of his body, and came out of the still Chakravartin.

The Wheel King, which lost its core, collapsed suddenly, becoming even more broken than the Blazing Iron Cavalry. The power that Xizel burst out was not something it could withstand. If it hadn't been for Xizel's power still supporting it, it would have been scrapped long ago.

Lu Mingfei looked around in surprise. He was a little confused about the cause and effect and almost thought that a dragon had awakened in this academy.

Then he lowered his head and silently looked at Poincare, who barely raised the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to smile at him.

Lu Mingfei thought about it for a while and remembered that this was the teacher he met when he paid tuition before, so he asked, "Dean Poincare, are you okay?"

"...I'm fine." Poincare forced a smile. "Cesare, could you please check on Byron? He didn't say a word. I'm a little worried."

"Although I think you should be the one to worry about right now, it's okay." Lu Mingfei saw the King Kong Warrior trapped in the iron plate.

He walked over to take a look and found that the hatch of the Knight's cabin of the King Kong Warrior had been deformed. After prying open the hatch, he dragged the boy who had fainted inside back and confirmed that he had only fainted and broken a few ribs.

Leaving the boy lying in the water, Lu Mingfei looked back at Poincare, who was not in a good condition, and asked, "Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

"...I think they should be on their way." Poincare forced a smile, "Cesare, you should also go to the shelter quickly, go back and take a shower and have a meal, and forget about what happened today. I will explain everything to the police, this is indeed my mistake." Cesare, who dismantled the Blazing Iron Cavalry with his hands in armor, is undoubtedly a dangerous person. When he used his hands to pry open the locked hatch of the King Kong Warrior, Poincare's eyes, which were still dripping with blood, could not help but twitch.

Whether out of a soldier's consciousness or a teacher's persistence, he could not let the boy leave.

But what was strange was that the senior executives who agreed to their operation also said that it didn’t matter if the mission failed, they just let the boy go and pretend nothing had happened.

In fact, after receiving this strange reply, Poincare should have known that the abyss named Cesare was not something they could pry into. However, he and the colonel were both overwhelmed by their desire to know the truth.

“Okay then.” Lu Mingfei nodded. He did hear a large number of people rushing over here. “Then I wish you… well, a speedy discharge from the hospital.”

"Thank you for your blessing..." Poincare wanted to say something, but the boy was no longer in front of him.

……

Just as Poincare said, Lu Mingfei went back to César's dormitory to take a shower and change clothes, and then went to the cafeteria. It had nothing to do with whether he was physically fit or not, because after the previous exercise, César was indeed hungry.

Because of the disturbance at the testing ground, the entire academy was in chaos, with guards and doctors everywhere. Students, faculty, and parents who heard the commotion and came to pick up their children were all like a flock of confused ducks.

Lu Mingfei avoided the crowd and came to the restaurant. As expected, it was empty. Only the employees who had not received the message yet and were curious about what happened outside were looking out.

He ordered a meal and found a seat by the window. While his body was eating, his consciousness was immersed in his spirit.

Xizel was still the same. What happened just now hurt his nerves. He seemed to be afraid of something and closed himself off. No matter how Lu Mingfei called him, he didn't respond. Helplessly, he had to look somewhere else first.

Canterbury Castle welcomed a new guest. The moment he stepped into the hall, Lu Mingfei was stunned when he saw the person with his face at the end of the long table.

The devil smiled at him and raised the glass of wine that symbolized power and strength: "Do you want to trade too?"

Lu Mingfei walked across the long table expressionlessly, came in front of "him", raised his hand and patted the grinning face.

"You really don't want to hit me!" The witch, who had taken off her disguise, sat on the wooden chair, her cheeks puffed up, looking at him angrily.

Lu Mingfei sighed and patted her on the head instead: "What are you doing again?"

"What do you mean by 'what the hell'?" The witch covered her head and still glared at him angrily, "I just took our things back. His heart was originally ours!"

Lu Mingfei had guessed it when he was talking to Izanami, and the witch's answer cleared his last doubts. The thing he came to this world to find, the dragon heart he lost long ago, was indeed in Xizel's body.

It turned out that the brotherly feeling came from here. César used his heart, and he woke up in César's body. This was a very natural thing no matter how you looked at it.

The little witch climbed onto the long table, with a sour look on her fair and delicate face: "I really envy you for having a sister like me who can still work for you wholeheartedly after you said you wanted to recognize other sisters!"

Lu Mingfei sat down on the high-back chair and said softly, "Don't interrupt me, let's get down to business. What did you do to Xizel?"

The witch sat on his thighs indignantly and said unhappily, "I didn't do anything. He activated the Dragon Heart because he wanted power."

"Are you sure you didn't do anything?" Lu Mingfei gently stroked her soft twin ponytails.

"Of course!" The witch turned her head away and didn't look at him. "...At most, it just stimulated him a little."

Lu Mingfei sighed and said softly, "I will find a way to get the Dragon Heart back myself, and you should come back too. I don't like a sister who pretends to be a devil to deceive people."

"But I am a devil, and you are the devil's brother, the big devil. No one except the devil and the witch is willing to be your sister!" The witch turned around suddenly, and the ends of her twin ponytails hit Lu Mingfei's face, showing the little resentment in her heart.

"Apologize..." the witch said softly, her beautiful amber-like golden eyes looking aggrieved.

"I apologize." Lu Mingfei hugged the sulking witch, "I shouldn't have said such words as someone who already has a sister. Come back, the Demon King can't live without his witch sister."

……

After returning to Xizel's body, Lu Mingfei glanced at the restaurant's open door. Adele rushed in anxiously, and when she saw him in the corner, she almost pounced on him.

Lu Mingfei was startled and stood up to catch her. He wanted to teach her a lesson with a stern face as Xizel had told her, but when he saw her tearful face, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

After comforting Adele, Lu Mingfei looked behind her. Annie and Minette were still in such a mess, but he couldn't hide his surprise when he saw that he was safe and sound.

He suddenly smiled and told César that he didn't need to keep a straight face all the time, as there were so many people who cared about him. But the latter, who was still in self-isolation, didn't respond, and it was unknown whether he heard it or not.

The door of the restaurant opened again, and a handsome young man with an unfamiliar face walked in with his entourage, surrounded by a girl in a plain white dress.

The girl was as elegant and beautiful as a lotus, but her eyes were dull, like a beautiful porcelain doll. After she entered the door, she was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at the crowd in the restaurant.

Lu Mingfei looked at her calmly. The girl's eyes were very clean, as clear as lake water, reflecting Caesar's face... and also Caesar's fear.

Suddenly frowning, Lu Mingfei smelled a smell he didn't like on the girl.
