Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

After passing through Kodaiji Temple and walking along a short path lined with red maples, you can see a marble building hidden deep in the city's woods. Although luxurious, it is quite out of tune with the surrounding environment and exudes some inexplicable charm.

The name of the marble building is "Tamamo-mae", but it has nothing to do with the Tamamo-mae Club where the Inuyama family entertains distinguished guests and gathers clan members. It is a property acquired in Tokyo in the name of the Romanov family. It used to be a very stylish high-end club. Princesses from all over Tokyo would gather here to show off their figures in certain seasons, and it was managed by the industry. Professionals select the so-called oiran.

Now Tamamo-mae is a high-end hot spring club that only serves those true aristocrats. The guests who come here are usually the daughters of the Imperial family, the daughters of multinational companies, or the bosses of some well-established companies.

There are not many superfluous decorations around the marble building, which looks luxurious but quite low-key. Silent Russian girls line up on both sides of the door. Each of them is beautiful and eye-catching. Young men passing by will always be unconscious. Glancing at these exotic girls with proud figures.

Today, Tamamo-mae closed its doors and refused visitors, including the governor of Tokyo, just to help Lu Mingfei clear the necessary space.

When passing those Russian girls, Lu Mingfei felt a sharp and solemn killing intent. It was not directed at him, but the aura naturally cultivated by a battlefield-experienced killer.

Zero said that Tamamo-mae was bought by the boss as a vacation place, so the security measures here must be strong enough to even withstand the offensive of the Self-Defense Forces for a period of time. The beautiful girls usually don't appear at the door. Their job is to protect the safety of the VIPs. When necessary, they can quickly arm themselves and turn themselves into hunters who can kill wild beasts.

In other words, the silent girls around but with sweet smiles on their faces are each one of the elite mercenaries. In one-on-one situations, the school janitors of the college are not necessarily their opponents.

All the nursing staff at Kassel College are actually retired members of the most elite special forces forces in the United States.

After coming out of the elevator, there is a long corridor with white columns. There are red gauze curtains between the columns. The wind pours in from the open windows on both sides, lifting the twists and turns of those graceful girls. The curtain moves the waist.

Lu Mingfei yawned and walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open an oak door. Behind this door was the manager's office, but usually no one worked here. Today, the Russian girls cleaned it out. , Rei and Shutoku Mai led Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi to temporarily settle here.

"Eri and I are playing outside and won't be back tonight. Junior sisters, you don't have to wait for me if you go out to eat." Lu Mingfei was typing a text message to Xia Mi on his mobile phone, opposite a huge toon wood desk. Sitting down on the sofa, the ingredients have been carried away by the tall butler. Later, they will appear in front of Lu Mingfei as oden.

Ling sat on the huge toon wood desk, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at the night view of Tokyo motionlessly.

Their top-floor office is more than ten meters above the ground, just above the tops of the brilliantly colored maple and ginkgo pines.

"I was on the run in Siberia for a while. Someone carried me to the top of those mountains. At a glance, I was surrounded by Siberian red pine and white birch trees." Zero said slowly, and the lights of the city flowed like a river. On her cheeks, there was no trace of memories in those beautiful and indifferent pupils like ice flowers, but every word she said was recalling someone or something.

"Sometimes when those forests are rippling, I wonder if the south is very warm, and the big trees are the same color all year round."

"Senior brother, please settle down and handle the matter well. Don't worry about me and senior sister. We are going to eat roasted birds in the evening. If you want to come back, let me know in advance and I will bring you a midnight snack. I love you, little junior sister." Xia Mi replied, also After adding a cute cat expression, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Mi and Nono both knew what Lu Mingfei was going to do when he left with Eli Yi. The little mute's bloodline situation had deteriorated to the point where it had to be dealt with.

He looked up at Ling and scratched his hair, "Is it Lu Mingze?" he asked.

Whether it was Sister Mai, Her Royal Highness, or the slightly mysterious potato chip girl, Lu Mingfei never talked to them about the so-called "boss" behind them.

In fact, Lu Mingfei could guess with his toes that the guy who was cunning, mean and liked stylish things must be Lu Mingze.

Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei calmly, his fair face was cold, as if Lu Mingfei had asked a private and embarrassing question. Lu Mingfei touched his nose and thought that Ling was good in everything except his mood, which was unpredictable.

There was a slight knock on the door, and a slender female secretary walked in. She was obviously Russian, probably an employee of the Romanov family, and her long pale golden hair was neatly combed against her scalp. , tied into a bun on the top of the head.

Lu Mingfei and Ling both looked at her. The girl behaved lightly and gracefully like a princess from the Romanov dynasty, but the real princess was sitting opposite Lu Mingfei.

She placed the wooden tray on the desk between Lu Mingfei and Ling, "Miss, the red wine you wanted." The girl said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Well." Zero looked at Tokyo in the distance again, "You go out first... let your people be responsible for the security of Tamamo-mae tonight, and don't let anyone disturb us."

"Does this mean that my companions and I have the authority to use lethal force?" the Russian girl asked with a smile.

Zero nodded.

She then tipped the tray upside down on her knees and slowly exited the room.

With another slight knock on the door, Zero finally looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes. Her expression was indifferent, but President Lu could clearly feel a strange emotion brewing.

Like...

Jealous?

"The one just now is a core member of the international bounty hunter organization 'Arctic Fox'. She is very skilled and has received the most rigorous and professional training in the world. She can hunt wild beasts with her bare hands, and she can also skillfully use almost all kinds of weapons." Any weapon you can think of." Zero said, her voice calm, as if she was explaining the instructions for a remote control. Lu Mingfei nodded to show that he understood.

"Have a drink, we can go see how your little wife is preparing." Ling Weiwei stood up and picked up the dark green wine bottle, and poured the rose-red wine into two crystal tulip glasses.

Lu Mingfei leaned back tactically, with a shocked expression on his face, but his thoughts were running wildly in his mind. He didn't know what Her Royal Highness meant.

Zero said nothing and raised his glass to Lu Mingfei.

The simplest way to use the golden holy liquid is to drink it directly or apply it on the surface of the body. However, whether it is taken internally or externally, the absorption capacity of the human body is actually quite limited. The original dragon-slaying hero Siegfried bathed in dragon blood. Although he was allowed to He has gained strength that far exceeds that of ordinary hybrids, but it is still far from what he expected.

Lu Mingfei raised his drooped eyebrows, then lowered his head like a dropped cucumber. He stood up, took the glass of wine, and sat in the chair opposite Ling.

"Bordeaux red wine, some people say it is the undisputed queen of red wines." Zero said, "One person said that drinking this wine reminds me of Simone de Beauvoir."

Simone de Beauvoir received a degree in philosophy from the University of Paris in 1929. She was a French existentialist writer and one of the founders of the feminist movement. During her lifetime, she loved Bordeaux red wine more than her husband. She later died of pulmonary edema. Some people Said she had cirrhosis of the liver due to excessive drinking.

"I remember there was a frost in France this spring. The grape production in Bordeaux was reduced, and the number of wines on the market dropped sharply. Is this wine expensive?" Lu Mingfei blinked, looking for something to talk about. In the spring, he was still with Nono. The college library worked all night long to find the organization called the Far North and the clues Herzog left in history.

Later, when Lu Mingfei invited Caesar and Chu Zihang to prepare to board the nuclear-powered icebreaker, they went to the Oslo branch and passed through Bordeaux, France. Caesar said that he had a friend who was on vacation nearby and bought a winery by the way.

"It's very expensive on the market, but this is an old wine hidden in the cabinet, 2005 vintage." Ling raised his glass, "Where are you and Xiao Longnu now?"

Lu Mingfei also raised his glass, and as soon as he took a sip, he was shocked by Miss Ling's last words. He swallowed the wine in his mouth tremblingly, blinked and moved his legs back. Shrunk. At this moment, Lu Mingfei clearly heard a hint of cold anger from Ling's mouth.

"Just...normal steps. As a couple, it's too early for me to get married. We haven't reached the legal age for marriage in China yet." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair, "And our household registration is not registered with my uncle. I don’t have the home either. Although I have a copy, they don’t recognize it..."

Snapped!

Ling raised his head to sip the remaining wine in the glass, leaned forward, put one hand on the table, and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes with wide eyes, a faint blush on his cold white cheeks.

"Mai Shutoku said you guys seemed to have grown up overnight!" Zero's voice became louder.

Lu Mingfei laughed dryly and quickly poured another glass of red wine for the sulky girl. "Hahaha, it's not because we listened to Brother Xiao's speech..." He started to talk nonsense.

Ling was stunned for a moment: "Brother Xiao?"

"Master of Success Learning, it's really your loss not to have listened to his speech."

Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, then slowly sat back in his seat. After a second, he turned back into the cold and indifferent Iceberg Princess.

Chapter 291 The Devil's Visit

"The injection of the golden holy liquid will be carried out in the hot spring. The constant temperature environment above 40°C can help the Uesugi family master survive the hypothermia period." Ling and Lu Mingfei stood side by side, both of them smelled slightly of alcohol.

"Food will be delivered directly to the hot spring after the treatment is completed." Zero said,

"Although the golden holy liquid is extracted from the bodies of pure blood dragons, because it is the purest fetal blood, its toxicity is very weak. With the assistance of certain alchemical techniques, this toxicity can even be completely neutralized."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. Although Her Royal Highness's tone was still cold, he could clearly hear some comfort from her mouth.

Lu Mingfei nodded, indicating that he had received Miss Ling's kindness. He hesitated and said, "By the way, actually I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"You said."

"About Christina..." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair, "I still remember we mentioned her after the 3E exam. You said she comes from a mixed-race family, and her family is from a dark side world. They work for a mysterious organization. They also said that the Romanov family spent a long time investigating their details, but found nothing."

"I know that you and Chen Motong have investigated the Far North together. I also know that you, Caesar and Chu Zihang have arrived in Oslo before the resurrection of the King of Earth and Mountain, and are preparing to board the Far North through the port there. A nuclear-powered icebreaker." Zero said calmly, and she stopped, so Lu Mingfei had to stop as well.

But Lu Mingfei was a little confused and didn't know why Ling would talk about this matter.

Although it seemed not difficult to investigate this information with the intelligence capabilities of her team - Lu Mingfei even suspected that he had been under Jiude Mai's surveillance for a long time. In addition, he also suspected that Lu Mingze actually had people planted in the school board, or this guy simply occupied a seat. In this way, the super artificial intelligence Norma that could enter almost any firewall in the world and read any top-secret file would have to open up its permissions to Lu Mingze and his team.

"Kristina Kabaeva's adoptive father is a high-ranking official in the Republic of Tatar, and her biological father works for that mysterious mixed-race organization. We can't find much information about that man. We only know that he holds almost half of the entire Russia in his hands. "Weapons black market order contract." Zero said, "But a coincidence made us know that there is some deep-rooted and even blood-based connection between Kristina and the Far North."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei suddenly became alert. Miss Christina now has a close relationship with Caesar, and Lu Mingfei even felt that the relationship between them was closer than the relationship between Caesar and Nono in the other world.

This is probably because Miss Christina was originally a book that could never be read endlessly.

How could the Gattuso family allow Caesar to associate with her without investigating her family background?

Is there some dark... political deal involved?

"Chen Motong has helped you investigate Star Maria. She had an accident while exploring the North Pole during World War II. We don't know what the accident was yet, but after this incident, Ms. Star Maria became The saint of the far north." Zero said,

"We found Kristina's grandmother in the suburbs of Moscow. Her daughter was an outstanding performer in Moscow in the 1980s and 1990s, and was given to Kristina's biological father as a prize by the government."

"Gift?"

"The information is incomplete, but it is said that the man named Bunin played a major role in a certain military operation in northern Siberia."

"That was still the Soviet period, right?" Lu Mingfei said quietly.

"Ah."

"Siberia is the rear area of ​​the Soviet Union. What kind of thing or organization can prompt the largest superpower in human history to... launch a military operation there?" Lu Mingfei would have been shocked at this time. Kristina's family background and her background, but now he can already make many associations from Zero's few words.

Can such a powerful country have to launch a war of unknown scale on its own soil?

Zero's voice was still faint, and she crossed her arms as if she had nowhere to put them, "I don't know, but it is said that their enemy is a certain city. We have been looking for that city, but found nothing. Many people want to find it, it is said There lies the secret of becoming a god...but only a handful of people in the world who are close to Christina's father are still allowed to retain the memory of that city," she said.

"Okay, you can continue with the old man's story."

"The old man said that she was a lucky person who escaped from the Far North. She called Star Maria 'Mother', but her tone was full of fear. In addition, she had mental problems, and her blood concentration exceeded the standard but she was unable to use beyond ordinary The power of human beings is a bit like the evil ghost who calls himself Kazama Ruri, especially when he exists as a young girl." Zero said lightly, looking up at Lu Mingfei's eyes. The white-gold pupils are deep and...empty,

"According to the old man, she had been locked in a metal room when she was young, and needed to be injected with a large amount of sedatives every day, and had to cooperate with research in the Far North. All of this led to her extremely late puberty in her mental age. Even at such an age, she still sometimes has clear eyes like a child... Does it sound a bit like your little wife? "

Lu Mingfei trembled slowly.

He automatically ignored Miss Ling's almost gritted teeth teasing, and huge waves arose in his heart.

Apart from those weird personality traits, what shocked him the most was the identity of this old man, that is to say, her granddaughter Christina...

In terms of bloodline, she is actually a fourth-generation saint from the Far North.

"Let's go, it's time to witness the miracle..." Zero naturally stretched out Lu Mingfei's arm. Today, she was wearing a beautiful black evening dress and slender high heels of at least ten centimeters. The former Bingshan Loli also looked a bit like a royal sister.

Lu Mingfei smiled, but felt uneasy in his heart.

Alchemy, like any other science, is a rigorous and meticulous subject. Theoretically, the Holy Golden Syrup can be a panacea that can bring out-of-control hybrids or blood users with manic dragon blood in their bodies back to life, but no relevant book will tell you that the success rate of such a thing is 100%.

"You gave Chu Zihang the chance to change his destiny by accepting the Nibelung Plan, and you didn't even have the chance to witness that moment... The effect of the golden holy liquid may not be as good as the Nibelung Plan, but a sufficient amount of the holy medicine You can do a lot of unimaginable things." Zero said.

Lu Mingfei vaguely heard the sound of bells in the distance. I don’t know which church will ring its bells late at night, as if to bury an old friend.

The bells reverberated, and Lu Mingfei's pupils seemed to flash with the black shadow cast by a huge church at the edge of the wasteland, and he was suddenly startled.

Zero had already reached for the door, and it opened in response.

That thing looks like a thick oak carving on the surface, but it's actually a metal security door that senses iris and fingerprints.

The sound of the bell tore through everything like the sound of a sea wave, and then the mountain-like sea of ​​light and the rushing wind stung Lu Mingfei, who had to close his eyes. His forehead hair and the hem of his windbreaker were pushed back. , all the noise in the world was taken away with the wind and the ringing of the bells.

He failed to walk into the long corridor with crimson curtains. Instead, he entered a bright and solemn room. The walls were full of soft and solemn angels, and the high-hanging dome was made of complicated hollow cut glass. There is clearly a solemn and solemn religious oil painting painted on it, but it is fragmented due to the hollowing out.

Lu Mingfei was surprised and slowly tightened his grip on Lu Mingfei's arm, but the next second he suddenly realized that the ribs that should have been close to his forearm were missing.

He then looked at Ling, who looked at him deeply, stood on tiptoes and touched his forehead with the fingertips of his right hand. The cold touch made Lu Mingfei realize that this was a real thing happening.

The girl no longer held his arm and slowly retreated into the shadows.

"elder brother……"

A childish and solemn voice came from the center of the room in front of him. Lu Mingfei looked over, but his body relaxed a lot.

The guy's back was turned to him, sitting on the only chair in the center of the room, holding a Bible in his arms. Countless sunlight fell from the hollow cut glass of the dome, and the golden light almost annihilated Lu Mingze's figure.
