Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 46 New World (Part 2)
It seemed that the Russian girl didn't care what was written on it at all. Of course, it might be that she didn't understand it at all. The relationship between Russian and Latin is not that close. Lu Mingfei was thinking about whether to explain it to Ling, and then Ling glanced at her indifferently, as if to say, "I know what you are thinking, no need to say anything more." Lu Mingfei had to swallow back the whisper that was just about to come out of her mouth.
She always had a strange feeling. Even though they had just met not long ago, Ling was very familiar with her. That familiarity was based on a kind of tacit understanding that had been with her for many years, just like two people who spent every day together and knew what she wanted to do just by seeing each other's movements.
But Lu Mingfei can guarantee 100% that she has never seen Zero. Even to her, the country of Russia only represents the Soviet Union, World War II, the Kremlin and its bread. She learned all this from the game.
Guderian checked the documents, sealed them in two file bags and placed them next to him.
"As a regular university registered with the U.S. Department of Education, Kassel College has always been committed to providing high-quality education and job recommendations to students with special talents," said Professor Guderian.
This sounded so familiar. Those scammers and salesmen also boasted about themselves in this way when promoting a certain technical college. This old man from the United States actually had a Chinese style, which made Lu Mingfei feel close to him. By the time graduation comes, I'm afraid he will change his face and send the graduates to cheap factories.
"Has Cassel signed an employee agreement with Walmart or something?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sneer.
"Walmart?" Professor Guderian obviously didn't understand the tricks. "No, we don't have a cooperative relationship with Walmart, but we do have a cooperation with the Chicago subway station. There is a train running exclusively to Kassel College in the Chicago subway station. The college is located deep in the mountains. It is a classical closed education and all students must live on campus. When you graduate, we will issue you a formal degree certificate. Unfortunately, the academic committee certificate of our school cannot help you find a corresponding major in other universities. If you want to continue your studies, you can only choose to study at this school."
"You mean... it's not a real degree?" Lu Mingfei suddenly became alert, but she had just made a bold statement, and if she backed down now, she was afraid that the people present would think she was a cowardly person.
"No, it's very serious. The degree of our school definitely meets the requirements of the Ministry of Education. It's just that our major is very special, so special that you can only rely on our school for your corresponding employment."
"How special can it be?"
"Have you ever heard of the seminary?"
Lu Mingfei nodded.
"A seminary is a special kind of college. Their students mainly learn about the knowledge of God. Kassel College is also such a special college, and the subject we study is..."
Professor Guderian stood up, grabbed a corner of the canvas on the easel behind him, and suddenly opened it.
The oil painting, with indigo and gray-brown as the main tones, exudes the atmosphere of a long time ago. The iron-blue sky is mixed with blazing flames. In the center of the picture is a huge tree that blocks out the sun. Although it is dead, one can still imagine the spectacular scene when it was prosperous in the past. The rotten branches extend in all directions, as if to hold up the broken sky. In the wasteland in front of it, dead bones are piled up like a mountain. A black giant beast is leaping up from the depths of the bone pile, with skulls hanging on its huge wings, spitting black flames towards the sky.
A powerful roar echoed in Lu Mingfei's head, and she actually thought she could hear the monster in the painting roaring.
Are you kidding? The magic brush of Ma Liang?
"Is that a dragon?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Everyone who is keen on various games and comics will be familiar with this giant beast. There are too many myths and legends throughout the ages. In the West, there are the gods on Mount Olympus, and in the East, there are Houyi who shoots the sun and Kuafu who chases the sun. There is nothing in common among them. The only similarity is that there is a creature called dragon in each other's culture.
In the East, dragons are regarded as a symbol of good fortune. Ancient emperors claimed to be the son of a real dragon and wore clothes called dragon robes. In the West, dragons are regarded as a symbol of evil. They are greedy and cruel, keen on collecting glittering gems and wealth, and will rob princesses when they have nothing to do. So human heroes go to climb mountains to kill evil dragons. The most famous story is Siegfried in the Nibelungenlied, who killed the evil dragon Fafnir and bathed in dragon blood to become invulnerable.
"Yes, it's a dragon. To be more precise, it's the Dragon King Nidhogg." Professor Guderian said, "According to the Norse mythology, Nidhogg lurked at the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil until one day it bit the World Tree apart. That was the day of Ragnarok, when the stars fell and the world was destroyed."
"But I remember that destruction also symbolizes rebirth. After the world tree burns everything, it will revive again, and the survivors of the three realms will begin to rebuild the world." Lu Mingfei's gaming experience is unimaginable. Even those console games that she cannot play have video walkthroughs, so she knows the background of those games that evolved from legends like the back of her hand.
Vikings appear in many games. They are a group of pirates living in Northern Europe. After the Ragnarok, this group represents mankind, wandering on the stormy sea day after day, using their fearless lives to seek new opportunities. The world did not completely perish because of the Ragnarok, and destruction will always be followed by rebirth.
"The so-called legend was not the imagination of one or two people at the beginning, but because some people have indeed seen unknown things, and based on this, they can weave a beautiful story. The day of Ragnarok actually happened once in real history, but the world was not destroyed. The protagonists of the war were humans and dragons. Humans paid a huge price to successfully defeat the Dragon King Nidhogg and killed him on his throne. For thousands of years, countless generations have been looking for dragons and studying dragons. Kassel College is the culmination of this. In Kassel, you can choose different subjects such as alchemical engineering, magic mechanical design, dragon clan theory, etc. The ultimate goal of all courses is to..." Professor Guderian looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "Slay the dragon!"
Lu Mingfei blinked her eyes, and the words "Dragon Quest" popped up in her mind.
"In places you don't know, this has been going on for thousands of years. There are no dragons in human history, but there are dragons in every line of another history. This secret is so shocking that it must be made public, otherwise the technology and beliefs built up by humans over thousands of years will even collapse. In the past few thousand years, the people who carry the secret have shared this secret. They have continuously cultivated offspring who are good at fighting, spells, and alchemy, and sent them to the battlefield to slay dragons, trying to bury the revival of the dragon race again and again. Until today, the group that has inherited this concept is Kassel Academy."
Professor Guderian stood up and held the easel. "The Dragon King Nidhogg was killed once, but the dragon race is not a race that will perish so easily. The day of Ragnarok will repeat itself in the future. Nidhogg will come to this . At that time, we will only usher in absolute destruction. Nidhogg's anger will burn everything. Human beings will completely disappear from history, and only the descendants of the dragon race will be left. We must never let this event become a reality. For this reason, Kassel Academy recruits students with excellent bloodlines from all over the world, brings them together, and provides them with the best environment and education. It can be said that Kassel has never cultivated college students who go to Wall Street with nameplates. We produce the best army and the most powerful dragon slayers!"
He extended his hand to Lu Mingfei: "Welcome to Kassel Academy, Lu Mingfei! I believe that with your S-level bloodline, you will leave a strong mark in the history of dragon slaying!"
Lu Mingfei did not accept the invitation that seemed to symbolize some honor. She sat in her seat, looking a little depressed.
"So my parents know what kind of place Kassel is, and they also want me to come... to slay the dragon?" Lu Mingfei's face twitched.
"That's right."
…This is such a bullshit story! Cinderella had been in despair for 18 years, and finally the fairy she had always dreamed of came. She thought that she would have a wonderful college life and a scholarship of 36,000 US dollars ahead of her, and she could even date a senior student or something. Unexpectedly, the fairy waved her wand and gave her not crystal shoes and a pumpkin carriage, but a Gatling gun. The fairy sniffed and said disdainfully, "What's the fun of attending a ball? Let me take you to fight monsters!" So Cinderella turned into a modern magic girl, running in the dark forest with her Gatling gun, shooting at the monster called a dragon. Dance skirt? High heels? Do those with the sound of a Gatling gun sound good?
"I think I know why the enrollment agreement was written that way..." Lu Mingfei said weakly, "Slaying a dragon will kill people, right? If I die, you will fly my body back to my aunt and put a label on the coffin lid saying the most respectable hero Lu Mingfei."
“If such terrible consequences happen, we can also follow your will and bury you in Kassel College, so that future freshmen will remember you and know that there was a heroine named Lu Mingfei who contributed to the dragon-slaying cause.” Professor Guderian’s words sounded so serious, but Lu Mingfei just wanted to see him jump up, make a face and say hey, we were just lying to you, we are actually a non-serious university that specializes in making fun of people!
"Leaving my name in history is not my thing... I just want to go to college and find a good job and I'll be satisfied." Lu Mingfei held his forehead with his hand.
The problem is that even if she wants to quit now, she has no way back. This is the route arranged by her parents, and there are seniors waiting for her ahead. If she turns back now, not to mention that her aunt will scold her again, if she goes back to take the college entrance examination again, she will definitely be despised by the people in Shilan Middle School. You have to know that she left the cinema with a big back, leaving everyone behind. If someone with a face full of awesomeness turns back, she will be kicked by villains when she is down!
"If you really want to, there are other options." Professor Guderian was silent for a few seconds. "You can study engineering such as alchemy and mechanics."
"Does studying engineering mean you don't have to slay dragons?"
"Kassel Academy has a principle of giving more work to those who are capable when it comes to dragon slaying. If you are not good at this or want to work in another industry, joining the Equipment Department might be a good choice. There, you will only be responsible for researching dragon slaying weapons, and going to the front line will have nothing to do with you. But personally, I still hope that S-level students can do greater things..."
"Professor." Lu Mingfei said sternly, "I understand your feelings, but to be honest, I was a liberal arts student in high school in China, and I know all the intricacies of liberal arts. If I have the chance, I want to be an engineering student in college! Typing away on the keyboard and looking awesome is much more interesting than burying my head in writing copy!"
Life is the most important thing! This is definitely not Lu Mingfei being cowardly. When the big brother in the comics heard that he would become the child of destiny and go to the front line to fight monsters, he would not even look back and set off with a big sword on his back. That's because he has the aura of a protagonist! She, Lu Mingfei, is just an ordinary young girl. The big monsters don't care whether you are handsome or pretty. Anyway, they all taste the same when they eat and poop out the same rotten shit. Just kill them all. Have you ever seen a dragon leave a grain of rice when eating rice?
The equipment department is the end of Lu Mingfei's life! I think with Chu Zihang's character, he is probably on the road to slaying dragons. A man as awesome as his senior brother is the real protagonist. A Cinderella like her just needs to be a priest who can add blood and buff! The senior brother is in the front to kill monsters, and she is responsible for assisting in the back, and together they kill monsters!
I couldn't help but imagine the future after joining Kassel Academy. On a night of slaying dragons, I and Chu Zihang gathered around the bonfire, the moonlight illuminated each other's faces, she, Lu Mingfei, put Chu Zihang's gun on her knees, disassembled it, oiled it, and polished it. Chu Zihang sat beside her and looked at her serious profile quietly. People say that men who are serious are the most handsome, but women who help men seriously are also super beautiful! I think at this time, with the spirit of Liu Xiahui, who is not moved by the enemy, I can also detect the changes in Lu Mingfei's appearance over the years. Just when she was concentrating on repairing the weapon, a pair of strong arms suddenly hugged her from behind, thank you for helping me all the time, how can I thank you? The man surnamed Chu exhaled so gently, then of course Lu Mingfei blushed and said reluctantly, do we need to say thank you between the two of us? At most, you can marry me in the future. The next one is of course! @#￥％……&＊, 2,800 words of children's inappropriate content omitted here!
