Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"Oh, I get it, it's frog dad, frog mom, and frog son."

"What's the name of the girl next door?"

"Dan Yang? You mean the one you played with when you were little? She also has an older sister named Ming Dang."

Why did the little rabbit never beat the little tortoise?

"Because they are competing in swimming."

The father and son answered each other calmly, their voices very soft, like whispers exchanged on a cool summer night.

Those long-dormant summer nights suddenly awaken in these questions and answers, bright and vibrant, just like the glossy green leaves on those old locust trees, even carrying the coolness of dew.

Lu Lincheng answered all the questions without delay or hesitation, as calmly as a flowing stream.

Even an almost omniscient and omnipotent artificial intelligence like Eva cannot do this; she can analyze Lu Mingfei's entire life, but she cannot pay attention to those seemingly meaningless whispers on summer nights.

"I miss you all so much," Lu Mingfei said softly.

“We miss you too,” Lu Lincheng said. “You’ve done a great job, and your mother and I are very happy.”

Holding the microphone, Lu Mingfei's tears flowed uncontrollably, and once they started, he couldn't stop them.

The rain was falling silently outside the window. He was crying loudly by the bedside, his sobs were high-pitched and piercing, almost to the point of throwing a tantrum.

Actually, he didn't want it to be like this; it was just that kind of sudden surge of grievance.

“Mingfei, I know you have many questions to ask, but I can’t answer them right now,” Lu Lincheng said. “You’ve grown up, and there are some things you have to face on your own… like fate.”

The word "fate" is such an ethereal concept that it would be pretentious for a father and son to talk about it, but when Lu Lincheng uttered those two words, they sounded particularly meaningful.

Lu Mingfei suddenly stopped crying. He rubbed his nose, took a couple of deep breaths, and composed himself. "Dad, what do you want to say?"

"Time is running out. Remember everything I'm about to say. You're in a dangerous situation. Don't trust anyone. Some people in the academy are just stupid, but others are out to get you. Before the trial, the Dragon Kings will awaken and come looking for you on instinct. So be especially wary of those around you; they could very well be the hidden Dragon Kings, including that Xia Mu."

Lu Lincheng spoke rapidly, faster and faster, as if they had less and less time left. "Remember these coordinates: North latitude n77°6′406″, East longitude e104°14′684″..."

Lu Mingfei wrote a few strokes, then suddenly stopped. "This is...that port?" he asked hoarsely.

The coordinates given by Lu Lincheng are located in northern Siberia, near the Arctic Ocean, in a vast wilderness and extremely cold region.

Many years ago, it was said that there was a port there.

“That’s where it all started,” Lu Lincheng said softly.

"You want me to go there?"

“You don’t have to go. If you don’t want to go, then run away quickly, run far away, the farther away the better.” Lu Lincheng paused, “But if you don’t go, you will never know the truth, and everything that happened will have nothing to do with you.”

"You're letting me choose for myself?"

“You’ve grown up. I’ve told you before that there are some things you have to face on your own.”

This time, Lu Mingfei remained silent for a long time, then smiled silently, "I've already made my choice."

Lu Lincheng remained silent for a long time. "Very good. Boys should be brave. Brave boys are never looked down upon."

"remember."

"Don't take Chen Motong with you, she can't go there."

"And don't bring Xia Mu along, he'll turn everything upside down."

Lu Lincheng hung up the phone.

Suddenly, the room returned to normal, and all the sounds of wind and rain became clear, as if an invisible glass dome had covered Lu Mingfei and the old-fashioned telephone.

He held the old-fashioned telephone that shouldn't have been able to contact the outside world, leaning quietly against the headboard, his face showing a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Lu Mingfei hung up the microphone.

The phone call just now seemed like a dream, yet he was actually holding a piece of paper in his hand with the coordinates of that location in northern Siberia written on it.

"Can't even Natsuki be brought along...?"

His eyes gradually became more lively, and a power welled up from within him, something he had never possessed before.

"If this is my fate, then I will face it bravely. If my senior brother and Xia Mu find out, they won't blame me, right?"

Downstairs, Xia Mu and Chu Zihang were still having a deep conversation.

"Also, regarding the White King..."

Chu Zihang hesitated.

"It's okay, tell me anything you hear, I need to know everything." Xia Mu's eyes were firm.

Chu Zihang nodded and said softly, "The White King seems to be a pawn in Odin's hands. When I was bathing in dragon blood in Valhalla, I saw the throne that belonged to the White King."

"So, Erii was actually taken away by Odin?!" Natsuki's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Where is Valhalla? Tell me!"

Chu Zihang looked at him for a while, and only after he calmed down did he slowly say, "You can't go. Only those who possess the mark of Odin can go in."

“I remember I had one too.”

Xia Mu entered Xia Mi's mind and asked her.

Xia Mi paused for a moment: "Yes, there is a possibility that you can get in, but are you prepared to have your past altered like Chu Zihang?"

Xia Mu said softly, "We have to go."

“Actually, she’s not there. Going there to wait for her is the worst choice,” Chu Zihang said. “Before the fusion with the dragon bones, the spirit chosen by Odin wandered in the darkness of the world as a representative. She’s not there.”

Xia Mu clenched his fist: "Could it be that she, like you, lost her memory and is now working under Odin's command?"

Chu Zihang nodded: "Very likely."

"Xia Mu! Lu Mingfei is missing!"

Nono suddenly came looking for me…

Chapter 365 Chu Zihang's Fate

"Senior brothers, senior sisters, Xia Mu, by the time you read this letter, I will have already passed away."

Some things I have to face myself. I have to find the answer to who I am myself.

"How many roads must a man walk before he can be called a man?" This was said by Bob Dylan. I didn't understand it when I first read it, but now it makes so much sense…

The book, spanning more than half a page, tells a story in a gentle and detailed manner, conveying a deep and sincere emotion.

Chairman Lu rarely writes letters. He originally intended to write just a note, but he found himself writing more and more. He felt a surge of heroic spirit, as if he were about to embark on a solo journey, as well as a touch of sadness, like a lone traveler parting ways with his loved ones on a long and arduous journey. He also wanted to express his carefree attitude of waving goodbye without taking away a single cloud.

"That bastard Lu Mingfei!"

But he didn't know that Nuonuo would start cursing after reading it.

Deep within those dark red eyes, there was a hint of bewilderment, an expression that was rarely seen on Nono's face.

At the end of that letter, Chairman Lu said, "Take good care of yourselves, I'm going to visit my parents."

Upon reading this, Nono slammed the letter on the table and blurted out the word "damn it."

In her memory, Lu Mingfei was a loser, a brat who needed Xia Mu and her to pull him along.

But now that brat suddenly says he has parents and he's different from you.

This feeling…

"He left without leaving any trace?"

After reading the letter, Xia Mu looked at Chen Motong.

Chen Motong shook his head and said softly, "I checked. He didn't leave anything behind. He really intends to go find his parents alone..."

"You seem quite disappointed?" Xia Mu found it somewhat amusing.

Nono's face flushed slightly, but she still stubbornly insisted, "No!"

“If he can really find his parents and receive the affection and love he has longed for, that would be good. But I’m afraid…” Xia Mu shook his head.

"Is there a problem?" Chu Zihang asked.

Xia Mu sighed: "That guy... is destined to be single."

"Why?!"

Nono, who had just been feeling somewhat confused, was the first to panic. "Was he deceived? Those aren't his real parents?"

“No, that’s not it. It’s just that the real fate is often hard to accept. He might not know the meaning of his existence because he has always lived as a weapon,” Xia Mu said.

"Can we catch up with him?" Nono asked.

“It’s possible, but not suitable,” Xia Mu said, looking at her. “You should go back and continue your studies on traditional Chinese virtues. If you continue to follow Lu Mingfei, you will be seen as an enemy of Kassel College. Your fiancé is the heir to the board of directors, and that wouldn’t be good.”

Nono stared into his eyes: "You anticipated all of this? Including Odin being Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei receiving a call from his father, Kassel College making Lu Mingfei the prime suspect, and Lu Mingfei being a weapon?"

“I know your profiling is powerful, but there’s no point in investigating me. I’ve booked your plane ticket. Things are done here, you can go back now,” Xia Mu said calmly.

Nono frowned: "Do you have a problem with me?"

"I have no problem with you..."

Xia Mu sighed, "I just think that before our final fate arrives, we should all live according to our hearts, and you should too."

“But you didn’t use my profiling abilities at all when you called me here. My only purpose was…” Nono pointed at Chu Zihang, “to lure him out!”

"Uh…"

Xia Mu helplessly spread his hands, "The ability to profile is more terrifying than Word Power when it comes to you."

"Xia Mu, I don't know what you saw, nor do I know if you're a dragon or a human, just as I didn't know what Lu Mingfei was. I don't care about those things; I just want to find what I want..."

As Nono spoke, her voice lowered.

“Xia Mu wasn’t using you. He didn’t intend for you to get hurt, otherwise he wouldn’t have reached out to catch that Gungnir himself,” Chu Zihang couldn’t help but say in defense of Xia Mu.

Nono rolled her eyes: "I know, if it weren't for this I would have turned around and left yesterday!"

"I just..."

She pulled out a chair at the two-person table, sat down, and sighed, resting her chin on her hand. "I just suddenly don't know how to face these changes. After Caesar graduated, he became much more responsible. I had to go to the convent to graduate after accepting his proposal. I was very excited to be able to come out this time, but I didn't expect so many things to have changed..."
