Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"Come to think of it, I also wanted to go to Cambridge University at first. I heard that there were British aristocratic boys wearing silk scarves playing bass and cello on the Bridge of Sighs every day. I used to like boys who played the cello very much." Xia Mi said.

"Now my teachers are dead, as are my alumni. All the people I knew and who knew me, and who were related to Cambridge, are dead. They are all ordinary people and cannot live as long as I have, so long that I am like a demon lingering in the world." Angé stared into Xia Mi's eyes. "At that time, my friend and I liked the same girl. That girl always wore a white silk dress and Oxford-style white high-heeled shoes, and walked in front of the church of Trinity College with a Bible in her arms."

Xia Mi was very interested in Angers' past, and she looked like she was all ears. But Principal Angers was unwilling to continue.

"Then what? What happened then? Did she choose you, principal?" Xia Mi asked like a curious baby.

"No, she didn't. Later she fell in love with my friend Menech Cassel. However, on the night when the girl made her choice, we encountered an event that could be called horrific even in the long history of dragon slaying. We were attacked, and everyone died. Only I survived. The girl who liked to wear white silk dresses chased for three days and three nights on the River Cam. Her white dress was torn by thorns and her fair skin was scratched, but in the end she couldn't find Menech." Angers spoke of such a sad past in such a calm tone, worthy of being a 140-year-old old man.

"Dead...?" Xia Mi looked at the principal blankly, which made her look a little natural.

"A first-generation species attacked our manor. I was the only one left in that generation of the Lionheart Society. Menech used the Word of Rhine to die together with the first-generation species." A hint of bright golden light flashed faintly in Ange's iron-gray eyes unique to Aryans. All the muscles in his body were tense at this moment. The alchemical matrix that originally covered the entire Kassel and could spread the effects of the Word of Rhine and the commandments now had a huge hole in this office. The power of the Holy Word returned to the bodies of the two people.

"The first generation...is the Dragon King?" Xia Mi was nervous, and the girl clenched her fists in anger, "He really deserves to die!"

The principal stared into her eyes for a long time, and suddenly the ice melted away, and a grandfatherly smile returned to his face. "Well, his name is Li Wuyue. We suspect he is the king of sky and wind, but I didn't see Li Wuyue's dragon bone cross afterwards."

"Enough of the small talk, it's time to get down to business." The principal pushed the document in front of him to Xia Mi, "Your boyfriend killed two second-generation species in the Three Gorges. This is a good thing, but we may be in trouble."

Chapter 41 Pick Her Up

"Sister, you don't have to be like this. I know you don't like me, but guilt made you make a wrong judgment." The oncoming sea breeze was salty, wet and cold, and the bright stars were reflected in Lu Mingfei's eyes. He still looked like the boy with his head drooping and no spirit, but his eyebrows were raised high, like a sharp sword.

"You know, senior sister, in the past, when I was in high school, I liked Chen Wenwen very much. If Chen Wenwen liked me too, I probably wouldn't have come to Kassel College to slay dragons. But then there was one time when I was as miserable as a loser in a movie theater, and it was you who rescued me from there. From then on, I fell in love with you." Lu Mingfei spoke slowly, telling the story of a loser who had not grown up and kept it in his heart.

"Actually, think about it carefully. I may not like Chen Wenwen, and I may not like you. Although it sounds strange to say this, that strange sense of dependence may be generated from a certain sense of identity." Lu Mingfei didn't know what he was thinking when he was kissed by Nuo Nuo, but whenever he faced his senior sister, he would always consciously or unconsciously think of a red-haired witch with a faint sandalwood scent on her body.

He understood what kind of choice he had made without even knowing it. When Lu Mingfei made this choice, he must have been resolute and firm, like carrying a mountain on his back. No one could shake his choice unless the mountain collapsed.

"I used to like Chen Wenwen, probably because she was the only girl in the class who was willing to pay attention to me. And she was also very beautiful, like a lily blooming in front of a French window. Adolescent boys always like beautiful girls, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"Why do I like you, Senior Sister? Maybe I just confused gratitude with admiration." Lu Mingfei said this without daring to look at Nuonuo's eyes. He was actually lying to her. He really liked Chen Wenwen and Nuonuo, once.

Now he no longer likes Chen Wenwen.

Senior sister still occupies some place in his heart, but she is no longer as deeply rooted as she used to be.

Under the sky full of stars, the water from the Three Gorges washed over the side of the Moniach again and again. Nono used the lust from the seven deadly sins to cut open his combat uniform along the ankles, revealing his bare feet.

It's so beautiful. When the moonlight falls on them, it seems to be flowing with glow, and every toe is naturally round, plump and round.

At this time, Nuonuo raised her head and stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes with her deep red pupils.

It was an affectionate and long gaze, as if the girl wanted to imprint the boy's appearance on her soul in the encounter of their eyes.

"Junior brother, do you know?" Nuonuo suddenly said, "On your birthday when you came home during the summer vacation of your freshman year, I actually sent you a birthday greeting, but you didn't receive it."

The damn memories were like small bubbles that swayed upward one by one from some dark and deep corner, and then exploded violently in Lu Mingfei's mind, using the faint light from the bubbles exploding to illuminate something that should have been forgotten deep in his memory.

Lu Mingfei remembered.

That was... the summer after killing Dragon King Norton.

He lost a very important document that summer. In the process, he saw a senior with a somewhat wretched appearance die in front of him because of this document. He was Raymond, number B007. There was a rose tattoo on the sole of his foot. His bloodline was only B-level, and he died under countless glass fragments that were cut like the collapse of the sky at the South Railway Station.

That summer he met his junior sister Xia Mi, and it was also in that sunny Chicago that all the tragedies had actually already been doomed.

"I thought the message Caesar sent me was edited by you two together." Lu Mingfei said, "Before I boarded the plane, I thought maybe you two were on vacation together. The message Caesar sent was also edited by you."

"No, Susie and I were on a mission in eastern Siberia at the time. I edited the content and clicked send at the last minute, but you had already boarded the flight and the message never reached you." Nono looked a little depressed.

It was only later that she found out that Lu Mingfei had not received her birthday wishes.

But what can we do about it? They don't have a close relationship.

If it was a misunderstanding, then so be it. It would be a good opportunity for Lu Mingfei to give up that idea.

In fact, when Nuo Nuo thought about this, he felt a little pain in his heart.

After she returned from the Three Gorges, she often had the same dream. In the dream, there was a blue color that was almost black. Light shone down from above through the water, and the ripples of the water were projected onto her face. She was suspended in the endless waves, and she couldn't even hear her own heartbeat. There seemed to be figures swaying on the water. She tried hard to float up, but she had no strength and couldn't move a finger. Those figures seemed to be leaning over and looking at her, and their faces seemed to be sad. She felt like she was lying in a coffin, saying goodbye to her relatives through the glass.

What a nightmare, so disgusting. Time doesn't flow in dreams. It's so cold. She wanted to curl up in fear, but she couldn't. It was so quiet. She wanted to talk to someone, but she couldn't. It was so desperate. So this is what death is like.

Every time she woke up, she was cold all over. She didn't remember what happened underwater in the Three Gorges, but she understood that the dream was about death.

The dream was interpreted at her death.

The heavy water seemed to press down on her in the darkness that was descending fiercely, and the sound of the tide came from all directions. She could hardly speak, but suddenly everything was torn apart!

Water, light, the almost black blue, everything was torn apart by sharp claws.

It was as if the sky had cracked, revealing a huge face with a pair of golden eyes as bright as day. It was the face of a hideous devil. But this devil showed a childlike sadness and anger. It was Lu Mingfei's face.

"Junior brother, do you know? I am really a very insecure person. I am very afraid that one day I will be abandoned by the whole world. At that time, I chose Caesar not because I loved him or liked him, but because I felt that he was worthy of me and I just happened to be worthy of him. The two of us look really good together, and I don’t feel disgusted staying with him." Nuo Nuo stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes so hard that there seemed to be a misty fog in her deep red pupils.

So soft.

Nono has never shown her soft side to anyone, not even Caesar of that time and space.

She said in a very soft voice, "After the Three Gorges incident, I spent a long time looking for the guy I had only seen once underwater. I thought I knew there was someone who was always by my side, who was silently paying attention to me and protecting me, but I didn't know who he was, and I couldn't find him. I only knew that with him, I wouldn't be abandoned by the world."

"Sometimes I would picture his face in profile in my dreams, and it looked exactly like yours, but I made a huge mistake..."

"I don't want to believe that it was you." When Nuonuo said this, her eyes were already misty, but she should have been such a strong girl, as strong as a rose with thorns. "At that time, I often thought, if that person would stand up, stand up and tell me who he was, then I would really fall in love with him uncontrollably, but he didn't stand up, and you didn't tell me that he was you."

"Senior Sister..." "Until Caesar proposed to me, I know you were very sad, but I couldn't do anything. I could only distance myself from you, even if it made me uncomfortable." Nuonuo interrupted what Lu Mingfei wanted to say. It seemed that she was going to make everything clear today. She was really an unqualified gambler. She walked up to the poker table and went All in without even looking at how many good cards she had in her hand.

Such people are either desperadoes with cold eyes, wanderers with nothing, or novice players who are new to the gambling game.

Lu Mingfei didn’t know what kind of person Nuonuo was. As she said herself, she was a book, a book with several pages always stuck together. No one could open her book, not even Caesar last time.

"I still remember you gave me a fireworks show on my birthday. I didn't know it was you. The academy was filled with smoke, but the night sky was lit up by so many fireworks." Nuo Nuo rubbed her face against Lu Mingfei's arm like a kitten. Lu Mingfei couldn't see her face clearly, nor did he know her expression. Nuo Nuo said, "You saw me crying at that time. In fact, I didn't cry because the fireworks were too beautiful, but because of the feeling of 'always watching you from behind you'. Because with that person, you are not afraid of anything. That kind of silent strength makes people feel at ease."

At this moment, Nuonuo suddenly heard the boy beside him sighing so heavily. The sigh sounded in the silent sea breeze, like a group of whales at the bottom of the sea jumping out of the water and singing a distant song.

She looked up at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei also lowered his head to look at Nuo Nuo at this time.

The two people's eyes met, and Kenono suddenly burst into tears.

In the very, very distant past, she always felt that there must be someone hiding behind the scenes in her life. She could often feel that he was by her side, but she could never find him.

Only once did she feel that person was about to appear beside her, that was when she was underwater in the Three Gorges. She could feel the powerful and inexplicable force surrounding her, completely enveloping her. She was good at profiling but could not describe the face of that person. That person's aura was overbearing and fierce. When she was injured, he shot out a sharp anger, as if he had such a deep love for her. Until she was pierced by Odin's spear, she finally saw the person whose back she could only see in her dreams.

That person is Lu Mingfei.

That person is Lu Mingfei!

God gave her another chance, and this time she was so determined to choose her junior brother. Her decision was even more irrefutable than the bronze pillar that was once erected in the north of the world as recorded in the Ice Sea Fragments.

But in the eyes that were meeting at this moment, the one belonging to Lu Mingfei was so hard, so cold, without any love at all.

He has really changed.

"Junior brother." Nuonuo curled up, resting her chin on her knees, looking at the calm sea in the distance. After a long time, she said, "I won't give up. This is not our destiny."

She stared at Lu Mingfei's expressionless profile. The boy's eyelashes were long and curly, which made him look a bit feminine.

I have never looked at him carefully before, but only now I realize that he is really handsome.

"You gave Xia Mi a chance, so you can give me this chance too." Nuonuo said. She approached Lu Mingfei cautiously and leaned her head on the boy's shoulder.

Lu Mingfei's whole body stiffened for a moment, but he did not dodge.

He thought that fate always played tricks on him.

At this time, a scornful laugh was heard. It was the boy's laugh, sharp and cold, full of sarcasm.

Lu Mingfei found that the space he was in had changed. Everything around him became unreal and then turned into reality again. There was an old elm wood floor. Not far to his left was a huge ancient ship. On the old shipboard that had been corroded by the sea for many years were placed various wines of different years. On his right was a huge glass window. Outside the window was a tree-lined road, and outside the tree-lined road was a small river. The rain was hitting the glass. Looking up, there was an eight-meter-high dome. A huge chandelier was hung on the old wooden beams that were nearly a hundred years old. At this moment, the chandelier was off. The only thing that was lit in the huge space was the candlestick on the table in front of Lu Mingfei.

What a familiar place.

Lu Mingfei felt a headache.

He reached for his waist, trying to grab the sword. He didn't know when it started, but only when the sword was in his own hands did he feel a sense of security. But he grabbed nothing.

"Aspasia restaurant, remember?" Lu Mingze walked out of the darkness pushing a food cart. The little devil was wearing an exquisite handmade custom-made suit, which was probably an expensive luxury product made by a nearly 100-year-old tailor and his apprentices on the streets of London or Paris, spending dozens of days and nights to make it. His hair was combed meticulously, he wore a bow tie, and a lace handkerchief was stuffed in his shirt pocket.

In the dining car were a few bottles of golden sweet wine that Lu Mingfei didn't recognize and a small but very delicate cheesecake with a few words written on the carvings on the cheesecake.

Lu Mingfei squinted his eyes, and then he could see clearly what the words were, but his expression turned rather ugly when he saw them clearly.

"Chen Wenwen, I actually like her", the words just stopped here.

"Your destiny is right in front of you, brother. What choice are you going to make?" Lu Mingze smiled jokingly.

But Lu Mingfei knew that Lu Mingze would not do anything meaningless, and everything he did was pointing to a certain future.

"Don't play dumb." Lu Mingfei hit Lu Mingze's head hard. The little devil dodged his hit.

"Do you remember what I said?" Lu Mingze smiled and clapped his hands. Opposite Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen with lifeless eyes slowly appeared under the light.

"You are stronger than her, and you have the power to control her, so you can be merciful and consider whether to forgive her for what she did to you." Lu Mingze clapped his hands again, and Chen Wenwen disappeared.

He took out a piece of paper and said, "If you have power, the girl who was once out of your reach will become a clay doll in the dust, and your mortal enemy will kneel down and beg for mercy. Now it is the day I mentioned. Just like when you faced Chen Wenwen, you should consider whether to bend down and pick up Nuonuo, because to you now, she is just a clay doll in the dust. She will never tease you again, she will not be proud, and even if she cries and begs you, you will not be tempted. That kind of power and authority... is now within your reach. Brother, have you tasted it? What a sweet wine this is."

At this time, the paper fell.

"Oh, sorry, my paper fell. Can you help me pick it up, brother?" Lu Mingze had such a cute smile on his face, but there was hysterical madness hidden deep in his eyes.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes at him and picked up the paper.

But Lu Mingze didn't take it. He just said quietly, "Go pick up Chen Motong like you picked up this piece of paper, brother. Just think of it as pity for her."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He felt an extreme coldness seeping into his blood vessels. Perhaps he had forgotten something, or...

Missed something.

Chapter 42 Trouble

The vast majority of funds needed for all club activities in Kassel come from club members who have already graduated, and only a very small portion is allocated by the school.

That's why the Lionheart Club and the Student Union are so wealthy, while other student associations seem so embarrassed.

The Lionheart Society is a brotherhood inherited from the Dragon's Blood Conspiracy period. Many powerful dragon slayers have emerged from this society. These dragon slayers have accumulated wealth all over the world and have vast financial empires in their hands. Naturally, they will transfer part of their funds to the Lionheart Society. This is the reason why this brotherhood has been able to prosper to this day.

The Student Union has risen in recent years, mainly thanks to the support of Caesar Gattuso. The Gattuso family is definitely one of the top wealthy families in today's mixed-race society. Their industries extend from Eastern Siberia to Western Scotland, and from Greenland to Portofino, all over the Eurasian continent. If all the gold stored in the Swiss bank vaults were taken out, it would shake the gold standard market in the world, and they could mobilize huge capital flows at any time to destroy the monetary system of a small African or South American country. Many European mixed-races are willing to follow Gattuso. They have injected fresh blood into the Student Union and brought enough financial reserves to rival the Lionheart Club.

"But we are an emerging country. Most of our members are freshmen. We don't have sufficient club funds, nor do we have a good student base. Although we have won the title of Freedom Day and the right to use Norton Hall under the leadership of Lu Mingfei, we will be suppressed by the Lionheart Society and the Student Union in the process of development. The school will not help us, and we have to rely on ourselves." The red maple doors of the Norton Hall conference hall were open on both sides. Xia Mi, wearing a black school uniform, sat at the end of the conference table. She tied her hair into a high ponytail, and her usually gentle face showed some determination and solemnity.

The phoenix decoration that originally belonged to the Gattuso family has been removed and replaced with the college's school emblem. This is because Lu Mingfei is still far away in China on a mission. Although this emerging brotherhood has drafted several names and totems, none of them have been finalized.

That is the honor of a leader.
