Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

In the original plan, Jiude Mai was supposed to follow Chu Zihang out of Chicago and rush to the battlefield where Lu Mingfei was ambushed, but the tyrannical boss temporarily changed their plan. She had to change her sharkskin tight combat uniform into a backless evening dress, and the weapon hidden close to her body into gorgeous accessories.

During these two months, Jiude Mai and Su Enxi stayed in the suite of this hotel.

Hyatt Regency Chicago is not only an asset of Cassell College, Su Enxi also holds a considerable portion of the shares. In order to meet the special requirements of this shareholder, the manager specially invited a chef from New Mexico who is good at making extra spicy potato chips to serve Su Enxi.

After receiving the mission cancellation order, when I returned to the hotel, the boss, who was dressed as a servant, was already waiting at the door of the room with a silver dining cart. The dining cart contained ice cubes airlifted from Siberia and a slightly orange-yellow top-grade dry rosé wine from the Provence wine region of France, and the side dishes were thick-cut salmon fillets and pan-fried top-grade Wagyu beef.

The pure white letter was sandwiched in the note box of the dining car. It was not until the end that Jude Mai realized that it contained the task requirements for the next mission. In addition to the time and location, the task actually had a dress code, "Please bring fleece and warm clothes."

The spring in Chicago is still very cold, so cold that it penetrates the bones. The potato chip girl is still wearing a down jacket, and when the boss takes off the servant's clothes, he is left with only a very elegant suit.

Jiude Mai and Su Enxi walked into their presidential suite with the help of their boss. They were clearly just pushing open a rather luxurious oak code door of the hotel, but the texture when it was pushed open was like gorgeous and heavy rosewood.

Su Enxi and Jiude Mai each pushed a door, and immediately brilliant light poured out from the gap in the door, the light as soft as soft silk.

The scene before them was truly bizarre. They were indeed standing in the top presidential suite of the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel, but the view outside the French window was not the bustling, vibrant Chicago in the early morning, but the boundless ocean. It was not daytime outside, but rather the depths of night.

Under the dark abyss-like sky, hundreds of pale blue auroras hung, soft and gorgeous, like a long dress that could cover the entire sky, its edges decorated with the thinnest pale blue silk. It was like the most beautiful painting that humans in the world could imagine and witness.

The soft light is the gorgeous aurora.

"Isn't the skirt of the goddess beautiful?" The boss looked like a very dignified young man, but his words were inexplicably cheesy. He led the gorgeous girls to the table and pulled out chairs for them.

"In this way, we have lifted the goddess' skirt." He said with a smile while pouring wine for the two ladies.

Jiude Mai rolled her eyes.

The boss is always such an eccentric person, but sometimes he can be as majestic as a monarch sitting on the throne, so they will never go against his wishes.

After the two elegant and noble ladies who served like countesses sat down, the boss slowly hung the napkin around his neck and sat down.

He sat down facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and his aura immediately changed dramatically. For a moment, his eyes were so deep that Su Enxi couldn't understand them inexplicably. The emperor's majesty radiated from the man. Where he sat became the real eye of power in this closed space.

"First of all, I want to say, Mai, you did a great job. Our little white rabbit was safe throughout the holiday, and those clowns who were hiding their whereabouts failed to disturb the little white rabbit's leisure time." The boss raised his glass.

"He is not a little white rabbit, he is clearly a colorful mountain tiger." Jiude Mai also raised his glass, "But there are indeed many people who want to cause trouble for him secretly. I knocked them out and threw them all on the pirate ship to Somalia." There are many guys in the mixed-blood society who want to get some benefits from Lu Mingfei. The fact that he can live so easily these days is inseparable from Jiude Mai's secret support.

"Secondly, I would like to thank Enxi for her contribution to our team." The boss raised his glass again.

"If employees cannot create value, then what is the meaning of their existence?" Su Enxi said lightly, but she also raised her glass. It seemed that she did not look like a subordinate of an unscrupulous boss at all, but rather like an equal position.

"Enxi, you did a good job. But it is not enough to just confirm that there are some indirect connections between the Far North and the boar Neo. I need to fully grasp the account information of all the sources of funds of that old dog Vincent and the boar, as well as where their funds finally flowed to." The boss and the girls raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Recently, the tasks he assigned became more and more difficult, and he forced Su Enxi and Jiude Mai into life-and-death situations several times.

"Do you know how many accounts Vincent and Boar Neo have transferred money to?" Su Enxi held the red wine in her hand and looked into her boss' eyes through the ice in the glass. "Eleven million! Eleven million! I can't do this job. I need at least a supercomputer to complete such a huge calculation!"

"I believe you." The boss looked like a sunny boy when he smiled. "No matter how difficult the task is, it won't be difficult for our Enxi. If you want a supercomputer, just build one yourself. Our money is just sitting there anyway."

"Hey, hey, every penny you squander is my hard-earned money, okay?" Su Enxi protested. She then counted on her fingers and said, "The cost of developing a supercomputer is close to 10 billion US dollars. We can come up with that much money, but it's not necessary. We can rent it."

"This thing can be rented?" Jiude Mai was shocked.

"I have a good relationship with the director of the Irish High-End Computing Center. I can bribe him to let me use the supercomputer 'KAY' for a while by paying him some money." Su Enxi smiled, "I'll give him 200 million for rent, which is a good deal."

"It's great to have connections. If we can establish connections with the Pentagon, we can just use Tomahawk missiles to blow up the entire Far North and save ourselves a lot of trouble." The boss said with emotion.

Jude Mai gave the boss a strange look.

In a sense, the boss is like Aladdin, a genie who can do almost anything. Although the nuclear-powered icebreaker carrying all the members of the Far North is strong, it should not be difficult for him to sink it. But from what the boss said just now, it seems that even he is unable to do it?

"So why did you terminate Long Legs from the previous mission and then call him back? Apart from giving me a difficult task, there must be other tasks, right?" Su Enxi sighed.

"Well, there is indeed a new mission. Isn't this to let you adapt to the environment in advance? I spent some effort to move Aurora here." The boss spread his hands, "And I also prepared warm clothes for you, Mai, and a boat ticket worth 10 million US dollars."

"My mission is to dive onto the YAMAL?" Jude Mai thought thoughtfully.

"Almost. But we are not sneaking in. We bought tickets and boarded the train openly. We are the most distinguished VIP guests." The boss said, "So do you understand your mission?"

"Kill that old dog Vincent?" said Jiude Mai.

"Well... although it can be considered a backup plan, it is not needed for the time being."

"Overload the nuclear reactor and make it explode, sinking the YAMAL?" Su Enxi was eager to try.

The boss's eyes twitched, "I always thought you, Enxi, were the most gentle among all my assistants."

Su Enxi spread her hands and said, "Boss, you are not very good at judging people."

"In any case, don't be so violent." The boss said, "Just go up and act with the YAMAL. Wherever it goes, you go. Keep in touch with us at all times, and investigate what secrets are hidden on that ship. Vincent announced to the public that Maria of the Star died not long ago, but I always feel that things are not that simple."

Jiude Mai nodded, which was considered as her agreement.

"When necessary, do I have the authority to sink the ship? I mean, when the things on the YAMAL will threaten Lu Mingfei or threaten us." She suddenly asked.

The boss hesitated, as if thinking, and finally he said, "It's up to you to decide, but you have to protect yourself."

Jiude Mai didn't say anything, but her earlobes couldn't help but turn red.

The boss stood up and continued to fill himself with red wine and drank it all in one gulp, but so many fine lines spread from the palm holding the wine glass to the wrist like spider silk, covering every inch of his skin almost instantly.

Bright red blood seeped out from those veins. He was covered with scars. The smell of decay and death was overwhelming, almost making Jiude Mai and Su Enxi unable to open their eyes.

The waves are surging outside the window, and the aurora seems to be at the end of the world, but the world in that soft light is not gentle. Instead, there is a continuous roar due to the waves hitting each other, which is more deafening than thunder.

It reminds me of the sound of war drums being beaten during a battle.

Jiude Mai saw what those lines were, and her expression suddenly changed, "What happened? Is the injury so serious this time?"

The boss shook his hands and blood splattered like rain. He smiled and his face was also cracked.

"Kungunir wants to kill Lu Mingfei, which of course is not allowed. How dare a lowly creature like it set its eyes on the ultimate throne. Unfortunately, I haven't fully recovered my strength yet, and Kungunir is the agent of concepts. Of course, I have to pay a price to fight against it." The boss's voice was weaker than ever before.

Su Enxi's face was gloomy, and Jiude Mai's joints were pale from holding the knife and fork tightly. She reached out to hold the boss's sleeve, "Are you okay?"

The boss stroked Mai Jiude's face. He stared into the girl's eyes and suddenly laughed out loud, "I am injured, but not dead. I am the biggest devil in the world, and only Jehovah can kill me."

Jiude Mai looked at him blankly.

Su Enxi suddenly stood up and said, "Where are you? I can hire the best mercenaries in the world to blow the place into ruins and find you."

"You can't do it. That's the battlefield for people like me." The boss smiled.

Then everything collapsed. The aurora and the tide disappeared, leaving only the silverware and empty wine glasses on the table.

There was a splash of blood on the bed sheet.

Chapter 116: The King of Sky and Wind ( words long chapter, please subscribe)

The whole world turned into a dull gray. Time stopped flowing in this gray and everything stood still.

Lu Mingfei's tense body relaxed, and he looked up at Odin's iron mask. They had the same body shape, the same face, and even the single eye that glowed like a torch was exactly the same.

"So Odin is actually a monster that can be mass-produced, right? Just like Captain America in the movie." Lu Mingfei's voice was cold and hard, but with a hint of bitterness that was barely noticeable. He felt that this world was really fucked up and helpless. Odin alone could make the entire secret party anxious and miserable. He could even lead a huge number of heroes accumulated for thousands of years riding on the eight-legged horse Sleipnir and directly kill into Kassel Academy.

And what if there are actually a lot of such monsters? Two, three, or even five or six? That would be a legion made up purely of Dragon Kings. Facing such a force, even if all the hybrids around the world united as never before, they would not be able to stop the tide of the gods coming to the world.

"They are not some trash like Captain America. If you really want to compare their combat power with the Avengers, brother, you have to imagine Odin as something like the Hulk or Thor." Lu Mingze's voice sounded lazily from behind Lu Mingfei. The little devil was still hugging him from behind. Hot liquid overflowed from Lu Mingze's body and flowed down along the gaps in Lu Mingfei's scales.

Although his tone was still so nonchalant, Lu Mingfei could clearly hear a hint of weakness in the little devil's voice. He held Lu Mingze's hand and turned to look at the brother who had always been by his side.

The little devil was still wearing a black suit, custom-made leather shoes, and a blooming white rose on his chest, but his body was covered with tiny cracks, and drops of blood seeped out of these cracks. This made him look like a porcelain doll with holes all over it, delicate but scarred, as if it would break completely at any time.

Lu Mingze tilted his head to look at Lu Mingfei. He was still smiling, and his smile was bright and cute. But Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned. He felt that such a huge sadness and anger were surging from the depths of his soul, like a black tide that was about to engulf the world.

He reached out his hand tremblingly to touch the wound on Lu Mingze's cheek. The warm blood covered his palm, giving him a strange feeling.

"What's going on? How did it turn out like this?" Lu Mingfei's voice was trembling slightly, which he himself didn't even notice, and it also revealed a huge anger that he himself didn't even know where it came from. Lu Mingze rubbed Lu Mingfei's hand gently with his face like a kitten being stroked by its owner.

The faint sadness suddenly became so strong that it seemed like a fire that was about to burst out of the body. Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and felt an inexplicable huge bitterness brewing in his nasal cavity.

But it shouldn't be like this. He never really regarded the little devil as his brother. The relationship between them has always been the relationship between the devil and Faust. Lu Mingze tempted him to sell his soul and then fulfilled his four wishes.

These four wishes can be to slay dragons all over the world and kill those monarchs who crawled out of their graves. Or they can be a palace located in Portofino, where Lu Mingfei is the owner of the palace and the emperor of a country. His harem includes Nuonuo as the queen, Xia Miling as the concubine, Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao as concubines.

Lu Mingfei always thought that as long as he used up three quarters of his soul and refused to exchange it even if he was beaten to death for the last time, everything would be fine. In this way, his soul would never belong to Lu Mingze. If there really is heaven or hell, he can at least get a number in heaven after his death based on his merits. But Faust's soul had actually fallen into hell a long time ago. He seemed to be able to go to heaven, but who knows what heaven is like? Faust was still complacent about his cleverness. He rushed into heaven and saw the devil stirring a pot of hot oil. He turned around and smiled at him and said, "My friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Get ready to put it in the oil pan."

But then he thought again, in the previous time and space, he, Lu Mingfei, was such a useless loser, even a loser like Finger had an EVA senior, and his secret crush on Nuonuo was known to everyone and everyone knew that there was no hope. There were really not many people he liked and there were really few people who liked him. If there really was a girl who was willing to run away from home with this useless boy and even wanted to go to Korea with him to eat ice cream under the crabapple tree, he ate vanilla flavor and the girl ate strawberry flavor, but he lost the girl.

In the end, the person who stayed with Lu Mingfei was Lu Mingze. It was like this when he was going to kill Norton, when he was going to rush back to save Chu Zihang and kill Fenrir, and when he was going crazy in the red well of Tama River in Tokyo and wanted to kill Herzog. Whether they lived or died, in the end, they were the only ones who depended on each other.

Besides, Lu Mingze is a devil with credibility. When Lu Mingfei walked out of Hongjing and walked alone into the streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo, it was raining heavily from the sky. Lu Mingze followed him like a puppy, getting wet. Lu Mingze did not say anything shameless that time, but just followed him silently. Lu Mingfei could not help asking him why he did not hold an umbrella. When he asked, he really touched Lu Mingze's head like he was touching a puppy. The little devil did not resist, and tilted his head to look at Lu Mingfei like he is doing now. He said, "Brother, you are very sad, so you want to get wet in the rain. I am your younger brother. If you get wet in the rain, I will get wet in the rain too. If you are sad, I will be sad too."

Those inexplicable fragments of memory were like bubbles rising from deep water, exploding in Lu Mingfei's mind for no reason. But he didn't have time to think too much.

He only felt that the stagnant rain curtain was like the boundary between life and death. Every drop of rain reflected a person's life. After death, those people stood on the other side of the underworld and waved to the living.

Lu Mingfei suddenly sighed deeply. He was really a very strange monster. When Chu Zihang died, he could write on his tombstone "This is a man who once swung a knife to seek revenge on God", but what should be engraved on his tombstone when he died? If Lu Mingze was still alive at that time, he could ask Lu Mingze to help him think about it. The little devil probably knew something, but what if Lu Mingze was dead too?

That is probably the true loneliness in the world, not even knowing whose name should be written on the tombstone after death. In fact, think about it, the senior sister and junior sister would probably be willing to carve their names on Lu Mingfei's tombstone, but Lu Mingfei doesn't want to. A monster like him should be far away from all sad things when he dies.

"Brother, I'm fine. This is just a minor injury and I'll recover soon." Lu Mingze gently hugged Lu Mingfei, his little body seemed to be as hot as charcoal fire.

Lu Mingfei's golden eyes sparkled, and he gently stroked Lu Mingze's hair. "You are lying to me. We have killed Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, Fenrir, the King of Earth and Mountain, and Herzog, the White King, together. After every fight, you have never been so weak. Lu Mingze, you are not in the right state. What happened?" Lu Mingfei's voice was low and hoarse. The dragon bone was pressing on his vocal cords, which made his voice sound unlike him.

"Brother, you are still as sensitive as before." Lu Mingze let go of Lu Mingfei, he took two steps back and stuck out his tongue, "What you are doing has touched the bottom line of some people, they want to kill you. Kungunir was awakened in advance, and that gun was a conceptual weapon. You are my brother, so of course I have to help you settle the matter, so I went to beat Kungunir up, and wasted some time on the way, so I just arrived now. Don't look at me being injured, Kungunir was almost broken by me."

Lu Mingfei frowned. He didn't say anything, but he had already figured out why Odin was just posing on his horse when the ambush began. It turned out that it was because the gun was blocked by Lu Mingze.

Odin, holding the holy spear Gungnir that can see through fate, is as threatening as a real dragon king, but if he loses the spear, Odin will be just a super-enhanced second-generation species. At least that is the case with Odin in his current state.

Lu Mingze shrugged and spread his hands. “It took me a lot of effort to investigate this matter clearly. Brother, you have to take care of my business in the future.” When he said this, his voice became a little mean again, but he still couldn't hide the weakness.

"The two things you are investigating, the Far North and the boar Neo, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or unlucky, these two things are closely related. One of the connecting points is Jung von Herzog in your memory, the rat hiding in the stinking ditch and eating rotten meat, he is from the Far North, and a large part of the source of the wild hybrids when Herzog built the Deadpool incubation pool in Japan came from the boar Neo."

"So my investigation of Herzog has caused taboos among some people. They are allies of Odin and want to kill me to prevent some secret plans from being exposed." Lu Mingfei naturally made the connection, but Lu Mingze shook his head and said, "Although we still haven't figured out who those people are and what their purpose is, I can be sure that Herzog is just an insignificant pawn to them. Although these people are also very interested in the White King's legacy, Herzog is not their only way to obtain this legacy."

Lu Mingfei shuddered silently. What Lu Mingze meant was that he did not deny that there were people or forces hiding behind the scenes that even Herzog did not know about, manipulating all this. They were the biggest conspirators in the world, and it was very likely that the revival of every Dragon King was on their schedule. From the King of Bronze and Fire to the King of Earth and Mountains, and then to the White King, the last name on this schedule must be written with a great ancient name, the owner of that name, the ultimate throne of the world, the black emperor Nidhogg.

"I think the action that really touched their bottom line was your investigation of the Far North." Lu Mingze said faintly. He looked up at the huge raindrops stagnant in the air above his head. The surface of each drop of rain was smooth, reflecting the brilliant fire on Odin's body.

"The nuclear-powered icebreaker owned by Thule has been cruising in the Arctic Ocean all year round. They claim to be searching for the mysterious Hyperborean and to bring the ancient miracles to light. But my team and I have investigated the source of funds for this organization and Boar Neo. What's interesting is that it is almost certain that they are funded by the same organization. Because the way that organization transfers money to Thule and Boar Neo is exactly the same, both through millions of completely different credit cards in the banking system, with Zurich Bank as the intermediary, and then transferring money to the bank cards designated by Thule and Boar Neo." he said.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. He felt that he was about to come into contact with some truth of this world. That truth and the conspiracy to hide the truth would involve many people and even eventually point to the only throne, the throne of the Black King.

"But I don't understand what is watching me, and why Odin chose to attack me at this time." Lu Mingfei said.

"Brother, you can use the Tokyo incident to judge the behavior logic of the organization behind all these events. Everything they do is very purposeful. For example, they invested money to support the boar Neo, and the ultimate goal was to support Herzog's research. But in the end, they didn't even get their hands on the throne of the White King, which shows that these people must be seeking something far greater than the power of the White King." Lu Mingze said coldly, "Apart from Nidhogg's supreme authority, what else in the world can be more precious than the throne of the White King?"

Lu Mingfei had anticipated this, so he did not express much. He just held the knife a little tighter, causing his bones to crackle.

"Brother, you must have guessed that the so-called Hyperborean might be a Nibelung hidden in the Arctic Circle, right?" Lu Mingze asked with a smile.

"Except for Nibelungen, I can't imagine any other continent of the Age of Gods that can still be hidden in the icebergs in this era when satellites are flying all over the sky." Lu Mingfei answered Lu Mingze's question directly. Hyperion, which is pursued in the Far North, is a very mysterious term. He and his senior sister spent the entire winter vacation to investigate the meaning of this term.

In traditional Greek mythology, the Hyperboreans were a group of people living far north of Greece. Their country was called Hyperborean, which means "beyond the north wind, where the sun never sets" in ancient Latin. In this mythological system, the sun god Apollo would spend the winter in Hyperborean, and Theseus and Perseus had also visited Hyperborean. It should be some kind of territory of gods independent of the Olympians.
