Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei finds a Freylian

Caesar raised an eyebrow: "I heard you joined forces to kill the Dragon Servant?"

"It's mainly thanks to Frilian," Lu Mingfei said, scratching his head.

Nono leaned closer and stared straight at him: "Lu Mingfei, is there something you're hiding from me?"

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

The nurse pushed open the door: "Visiting time is over! The patient needs to rest!"

Nono sighed, "Never mind, I'll ask Frillie when I have time."

As everyone left, Chu Zihang paused at the door and said, "Remember to come to kendo class next week."

As the door closed, Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh of relief.

Frillie, from the next bed, took a matcha daifuku. "They care about you."

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei said, staring at the ceiling.

Chapter 23 Forbidden Diary

In the Kassel College Library, Frilian stood in front of a row of bookshelves.

She had originally come looking for books about the history of dragons, and the dragon servants had given her quite a shock. Pulling out a thick ancient book, she unexpectedly discovered a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf.

Inside was a diary, its edges yellowed, clearly indicating its age.

Frillie turned to the title page, where it read:

"In 1990, Abdullah Abbas, the president of the Lionheart Society"

His emerald eyes narrowed slightly as his fingers traced the dried-out ink.

March 15, 1990

"Today, the Board of Trustees approved the exploration mission in Africa. Legend has it that there is an oasis deep in the Sahara, where a blood rain falls every hundred years, and after the rain stops, the skeletons of dragons will appear in the desert."

Eric and I accepted the mission. He's my best friend and one of the Lionheart's finest warriors. We promised each other we'd go to Munich for beer after the mission.

May 2, 1990

"We found the oasis."

But there was no rain there, only a dried-up lake, at the bottom of which lay a huge skeleton that had not decayed even after thousands of years of wind and sand.

Eric said it could be the remains of a secondary species.

May 7, 1990

"We made a fatal mistake."

The skeleton is alive; it has now come back to life.

May 8, 1990

“We were trapped deep in the desert, with no support and no way out. Eric suggested using ‘that technology’.”

Blood Explosion, a forbidden technique passed down through generations of the Lionheart Society, involves artificially stimulating dragon blood to gain power beyond its limits.

We had no choice.

May 9, 1990

"We survived. But Eric's eyes became golden pupils that would never go out."

He said it was alright, the vice-principal would definitely find a way once they returned to the college.

June 1, 1990

“Eric attacked a student last night. His bloodline has gone out of control.”

June 3, 1990

"The executive department took him away on the orders of Principal Angers."

June 5, 1990

Eric is dead. How much longer can I hold on?

The last few pages of the diary were torn out, leaving only scattered, hasty handwriting, as if the writer had penned it in extreme pain:

"I can't control myself."

"I don't want to become a monster."

"Who will kill me?"

The appendix explains how to use Blood Explosion, along with some tips and tricks.

Frillie closed her diary, remained silent for a long time, and went directly to find Lu Mingfei.

Boys' dormitory.

Lu Mingfei was lying in bed playing video games when Frilian pushed open the door and entered, holding the diary in her hand.

"Huh? Frillian? Something wrong so late?" Lu Mingfei quickly sat up straight and hurriedly hid the bag of potato chips under his pillow.

Frillie ignored his little gestures and handed him the diary directly: "Take a look at this."

Lu Mingfei opened the book with a puzzled look, and as he read, his expression gradually became serious.

"Is this...is this real?"

“It should be,” Frillie nodded. “What happened to the owner of the diary in the end is unknown. But his friend died from a blood explosion.”

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard: "So, the Blood Explosion technique, which can change one's bloodline, really exists?"

“Not only does it exist, but the Lionheart Society may still be using it even now,” Frilian said, looking at him. “Don’t you find Chu Zihang’s Golden Eyes strange?”

Lu Mingfei was taken aback: "You mean, my senior brother?"

“I’m not sure, but his bloodline is far more unstable than that of a normal mixed-race person.”

Lu Mingfei looked down at his diary, then looked up and asked, "Frilian, do you think you can help me suppress the dragon blood if I use Blood Explosion?"

Frillie frowned: "Theoretically, it's possible, but the risk is too great."

“But what if we encounter an emergency?” Lu Mingfei scratched his head. “Like if we encounter a dragon again, we can’t rely on you risking your life every time, can we?”

Frillian was silent for a moment, then sighed: "If it really comes to that, then use 'Blood Explosion'. But remember, the price of Blood Explosion is not just the loss of bloodline control."

"What else?"

“It will devour your ‘humanity’,” Frilian whispered. “With each use, you will move further away from ‘humanity’ and closer to ‘dragon’.”

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice, "What do you think the owner of the diary would think if he were still alive?"

“I don’t know. But I think he must really miss his friend with whom he made a promise to go to Munich for beer.”

In the evening, Caesar chose a restaurant located on the shores of Lake Chicago, with views of the lake and city lights in the night through the windows.

Standing at the restaurant entrance, Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, "How much does it cost to eat here?"

Frilian glanced at Lu Mingfei: "Caesar won't make you pay."

"It's not about whether we pay or not!" Lu Mingfei felt his clothes were a bit shabby. "It's about the aura! Look at this place, even the waiters all look like royalty!"

"Lu Mingfei, if you don't come in, I'll assume you're planning to stand at the door all night," Caesar waved to the two men outside.

Nono sat next to Caesar, poking at a dessert with her fork. When she saw them come in, she raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Oh, the Heroes Duo is here."

Lu Mingfei chuckled twice and pulled Frilian to sit down.

Caesar raised his glass, the champagne bubbling with golden light: "A toast to our rising dragon-slaying star, Lu Mingfei, and his golden support, Frilian."

“What kind of ridiculous title is ‘Dragon Slayer Rising Star’!” Lu Mingfei almost spat out his drink.

Nono rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "That's what everyone calls it on the forum, didn't you see?"

At this moment, the homepage of the Kassel College's internal forum is almost entirely filled with posts related to the Kuimen Project.

Reply 3 (Anonymous): Am I the only one curious about their relationship? They're inseparable.

In the restaurant, Lu Mingfei cut his steak while glancing at his phone, reading the discussions on the forum. "These people are really good at making things up! What do you mean by 'single-handedly killing the next generation'? It was clearly the whole ship that fought it together!"

Caesar wiped his mouth: "That's how the forum works."

Nono swirled her wine glass, looking at Frilian with interest: "Frilian, the effect of your Word of Power is truly outrageous; even Professor Mance was astonished."

Frillie calmly took a sip of lemonade: "It just happened to be suitable for that situation."

"Too modest," Caesar smiled. "There have been very few words in human history that can enhance the power of words."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Frillie and thought to himself, "She's not using Word of Power at all."

Of course, these words could not be said aloud.

Nono leaned closer to Lu Mingfei and lowered her voice: "Hey, is what those people on the forum are guessing true?"

"Guess... guess what?" Lu Mingfei stammered.

"You and Frillie," Nono blinked, "are inseparable~"

"Senior, don't talk nonsense! We're just ordinary classmates!"
