Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 254 One is a dragon, and the other is also a dragon.
Japan, Fuyuki City, Emiya House.

The sliding doors of the Japanese-style room were open, and the cool evening breeze carried the scent of plants and trees from the courtyard.

After a long day, Shirou Emiya took off his school uniform and changed into comfortable casual clothes.

At this moment, he was kneeling in front of a low table, intently arranging the tea set, with several plates of exquisite handmade pastries beside him.

The tea has just boiled, and wisps of white steam rise, releasing a faint aroma of barley tea.

He seemed to have anticipated the guests' arrival, and everything was prepared perfectly.

Suddenly, the light in the room seemed to distort slightly, and ripples appeared in the air.

The yellow talisman floating above the low table shone brightly.

The next instant, a phantom figure slowly emerged and solidified from the light.

The newcomer was dressed in a set of antique-style, metallic silver knight's armor with sharp lines and engraved ancient patterns that were difficult to decipher, as if he had just come from a battlefield ravaged by war.

It was Lu Mingfei who came from across the world in spirit form.

He looked down at his lost knight armor and seemed to think it was a bit over the top. So, with a thought, he removed the magnificent silver armor, leaving only a linen inner robe underneath.

He looked around curiously and found that the style of the mansion was exactly the same as the Japanese mansions he had seen in anime.

He then unceremoniously sat down in the empty seat next to him.

"Can the SOS talisman really be used like this?"

Lu Mingfei asked in surprise:

"It can even bring people into the real world?"

"Both sides must be of equal strength, otherwise crossing worlds will consume a huge amount of runes."

Emiya Shirou patiently explained:

“My main body in the border area is too far from your place, which is troublesome for both of us. Since that’s the case, I think your strength is not much different from ours now, so why don’t you just come to my house?”

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, looked at the snacks and tea on the table, and suddenly remembered that in Japan, it was common to bring souvenirs when visiting friends.

He said, rather embarrassed:

"I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring any souvenirs. I'll make it up to you next time."

Emiya Shirou smiled gently and pushed a cup of hot tea toward him:
"It's alright, have some tea first. You seem to be quite busy over there?"

"Don't even mention it," Lu Mingfei picked up his teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and let out a satisfied sigh. "I almost got exorcised by my senior brother using international marriage law."

He put down his teacup, his expression becoming slightly more serious:

"Let's get down to business. What's the specific situation?"

"There is news of two flying dragons."

Emiya Shirou said earnestly:
"One is in Gelid, which was told to me by Subaru, but he's been very busy lately, apparently fighting some kind of monster, so I'll explain it to him; the other is in Lienia, which I already knew about, but it's quite far away, so I'll just tell you about it."

"Which one do you want to hear first?"

While chewing on a wagashi (Japanese sweet), Lu Mingfei marveled that a spirit could still possess a sense of taste, and then pondered, saying:

"Well, that one in Galid. It just so happens that Ratahn's Great Rune hasn't been activated yet, so I'll have to go to Galid soon."

Emiya Shirou nodded and said to him:

Do you have a complete map of Galid?

Lu Mingfei shook his head:
"No. I only have incomplete maps, which I pieced together based on the Galid map before the Broken War, my subsequent explorations, and the oral accounts of some friends."

“It’s alright,” Shirou Emiya said. “A rough map will suffice. The terrain in Gerid changed so much after the disaster that even Subaru himself doesn’t have an accurate map. He often complains to me about how easy it is to get lost there.”

"No, I don't think it's a map problem."

Lu Mingfei said definitively, "He's just prone to getting lost and often misses blessings. He's been in Galid for so long, and the number of blessings he's received is about the same as mine. Don't you think that's right?"

Emiya Shirou was taken aback, trying to find a way to defend his best friend Natsuki Subaru. He tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable reason to explain.

Lu Mingfei rummaged through his storage space and found a relatively intact parchment scroll. Unfolding it revealed a clear scroll with many corrections and annotations made with black charcoal.

Emiya Shirou examined the map carefully, frowning.

"The Fam Bridge in the northeast has been found, and it's roughly in this location."

Lu Mingfei followed his finger and looked in that direction.

That's near the very edge of Galid, beyond which lies the endless ocean. It's half a map away from the Dragon Tomb, and it's located at the far south and far north of Red Lion City, respectively.

"That's too far."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself:

"It's easy to get lost."

He thought for a moment, took out a charcoal pencil, drew a mark where Shirou Emiya pointed, nodded, and said:

"I understand. Do you have any basic information or intelligence about that dragon?"

Emiya Shirou shook his head:

"All I know is that its name is 'Guerrell'. Subaru did not attack it, supposedly because the terrain there was too narrow, so he gave up."

This was exactly what Lu Mingfei had expected.

Dragons are a very powerful species in the borderlands, possessing considerable intelligence, various strange breaths, tough scales, a massive body, and most importantly, the ability to fly.

Yes, they can fly, which causes a lot of trouble for the faders.

Although the runes contained in the dragons are not low, dealing with them is really time-consuming and energy-intensive, and not everyone needs a dragon heart, so when people encounter dragons, their first reaction is usually to avoid them if possible.

"Guerrell"

Lu Mingfei repeated the dragon's name to himself, his fingers unconsciously stroking the teacup.

"It sounds a lot like Daenerys Targaryen's name. Will she be very powerful?"

After a moment, he put the map away and nodded to Emiya:
"I understand. What about the other one?"

Emiya paused for a moment, then said:

“‘Radiant Stone Dragon’ Smarag, that’s its name.”

His eyes lost focus, as if lost in memories:

"After this guy settles on an island in the Lake Lienia region, you'll definitely go there if you want to go to the magic academy."

Pyroxeneosaurus?
Lu Mingfei was stunned.

A dragon named after a gemstone? Could it possibly possess magic?

However, Lienia did indeed intend to go there after activating Rataen's Great Rune.

"Where is the strength?"

Lu Mingfei asked:
"How strong is this dragon?"

Emiya Shirou shook his head:

"It's quite difficult for me to deal with; it's a very powerful enemy. Its magic resistance seems very strong, and its breath carries powerful sapphire magic."

To date, I have not succeeded in defeating it.
