Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 90: Wind, Firefly, and Moon (I)
Lu Mingfei was carrying a flower basket and Chu Zihang was carrying a fruit basket. When the door of the ward opened, Lu Mingfei heard the spirit's greeting.
"Hello, beautiful classmate!" The energetic old man raised the bottle of wine in his hand to signal her.
The president and vice-president of Kassel College were in the same ward. On the night of the battle with Norton, the bell tower where the vice-president was staying was blown down in the middle.
Theoretically, he should have died at that height, but the old guy's mixed-race physique still seemed to be as strong as when he was Prancing West. When the students dug him out of the rubble, he could still stare at the students who carried him with his big eyes and ask for some wine. A lot of broken bones were no problem for him.
Principal Ange smiled and greeted the two new students. Standing beside his bed was the expressionless student council president Caesar. It seemed that breathing the same air as Chu Zihang was not a good thing for him. In order to create an opportunity for Lu Mingfei to attack, Ange suffered burns on half of his body. Fortunately, he managed to hold on. With the school's skilled special doctors and the strong physique of the mixed-blood, he recovered very smoothly.
"Hello, Principal." Lu Mingfei nodded and bowed, placing the flower basket on the table. Since both principals were present, she might as well save some time and combine the two into one address.
She had planned to say goodbye to Chu Zihang, saying that the principal wanted to see her so she should go first. But soon after Chu Zihang received the text message, another text message from Lu Mingfei arrived, inviting her, so she had to go with Chu Zihang. I think the principal will definitely watch the Night Watcher Forum. When the two recent focus figures appeared at the same time, the principal's expression was obviously not surprised.
"You did a great job." Ange nodded slightly. The events of that night seemed to pass easily with this affirmative smile. He did n't seem to care whether he was injured or not, but cared more about Lu Mingfei. "You who are here today are the real elites of Kassel Academy. I am honored to inform you that you will be sent to China as interns to carry out the dragon-slaying operation codenamed "Bronze Plan."
"Did we find Norton so quickly?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.
"Strictly speaking, we didn't look for him at all, because Norton will only go to one place, his Bronze City." Ange said, "His awakening is not complete, and he has suffered serious trauma. He urgently needs a relatively quiet place to recuperate so that he can complete his evolution. It would be best if he can leave a cocoon for recovery. All of these take time. The stronger the creature, the more supplies it needs. This is a good thing for us. His respite will last for several months. During this period, we need to conduct diving training so that we can invade his Bronze City and completely end the unfinished war."
"Are there only three of us?" They are about to challenge the noble first generation. This time Norton is even fighting at home and will have more powerful force than last time. However, Caesar's expression is unusually calm, as if he is asking me how many soldiers I can take to chop off the opponent's main general's head.
"The academy has dispatched many teams, led by Professor Manstein. The equipment department will provide full support, and the Chen family from China will also participate in the operation. There are only three people in your group, because you are the three students with the highest bloodlines among the current students in the academy, and your bloodline advantage is better than most of the executive department specialists. We are not sure whether Dragon King Norton will cocoon again to complete himself. The dragon race will release powerful mental interference when cocooning. The more you face an ancient dragon with a noble status, the greater the bloodline advantage will be."
"Old students guide new students. This is the academy's consistent style." Chu Zihang roughly understood the intention. Lu Mingfei was the only S-level student, but she lacked practical experience. The student council president and Lionheart president were undoubtedly two veterans with excellent pedigrees. The academy hoped to cultivate S-level abilities in this way so that she could grow up as quickly as possible.
The only problem is that this method is a bit too hasty. They are going to kill the Dragon King, one of the four noble monarchs. The danger is about the same as dancing in front of a ton of explosives with a torch. If you are not careful, you won't even find the body. Lu Mingfei's words can indeed fight Norton from the performance that night, but she will lose strength after using them. In action, it is almost like a nirvana, a glass cannon. Chu Zihang feels that the content of his and Caesar's mission is almost the same as protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"You two big guys, are you going to take a newbie like me to fight the BOSS?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang on the left and Caesar on the right. Because these two people don't get along well, they very tacitly let the little girl be sandwiched in the middle to mediate. She felt that this was really a left-handed match, Chu Zihang was the hound, and Caesar was the falcon. All that was left was for her, Lu Mingfei, to sing a line: "I am old but still as wild as a young man. I'll pick up my sword and go and do it!"
What a perfect combination. The guy who put Lu Mingfei between these two people must be a master behind the scenes.
"As the principal, I have the right to use my power to give your team some special treatment." Angé nodded to the vice principal.
The vice-president turned 180 degrees and jumped up from the bed, looking as if he was not injured at all. In fact, he and Ange were still lying in bed only because the nurses in the hospital asked them to rest well. However, with the physical fitness of mixed-bloods, they can recover very quickly after a fatal injury as long as they can get through it. The internal injuries will be treated by their bloodline before the external injuries are healed.
The vice-president pulled out a heavy black box from under the bed and placed it on the table. It was covered with black leather on the outside and the corners were reinforced with steel. On one corner of the metal nameplate was engraved the twisted world tree logo of S, which meant that it came from the ice cellar of Kassel Academy and was a top-level S-level collection.
Before the box was opened, Lu Mingfei had already heard some noise inside, as if something was buzzing in the metal, ready to move.
The principal and the vice-principal each took out a bronze key, inserted them into the keyholes on both sides of the box, and turned them at the same time. A faint sound of gears turning came from the box, and the metal teeth that were biting into each other slowly retracted, and a thin crack appeared in the box, and a dark gold light flowed along the crack.
"Alchemical swords, seven deadly sins." The vice-president opened the lid of the box. "Forged by the Lord of Bronze and Fire himself, to slaughter other dragons, so it has the power to kill the first generation. When forging, Norton killed the metal itself to create a new material, making new metals according to his own will, so these swords will not be blocked by Norton's own domain. They are not metals native to nature."
"From a certain perspective, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki sacrificed themselves in exchange for this set of dragon-slaying weapons." The principal whispered, "In the Bronze City, there is a humanoid dragon spirit created by Norton to protect the Bronze City, but that spirit betrayed its monarch and took the initiative to give this set of weapons to humans. The price was that Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki's bloodline was used by the spirit to open the seal of the Bronze City on it."
"Betrayal and war are the themes of dragon history." Caesar seemed very satisfied with this plot of killing each other, and smiled faintly. "If possible, I hope to meet that living spirit. Maybe it will take the initiative to tell us Norton's weakness."
"If you have the chance, you can try it, but I think it will respond to you with its sharp claws." Chu Zihang's words were very realistic, but also sounded extremely harsh to Caesar.
"It is a blessing that this set of swords can fall into our hands, no matter how we got them." The vice principal flicked the exquisite knife box. With just such a simple action, the seven swords seemed to be singing a sonata of slaughter. "The King of Bronze and Fire has mastered the most powerful alchemy among the dragons. This means that no other person or dragon in the world can imitate this set of powerful dragon-slaying weapons."
He pulled up the hidden button, and with a clear sound, the internal mechanism slid out, bringing with it seven swords of completely different shapes. The black gold blades showed various patterns of ice silk, pine needles, flowing clouds, and flames under the light. The vice-president stretched out his hand to draw the sword, which was a two-handed long-handled blade with a length of 1.5 meters. The blade had a beautiful arc and was about one finger thick.
"It's similar in shape to the sabers used in the Song Dynasty in China. It got its name because it can be used to cut off a horse's head when held with both hands. Each sword here has a completely different shape, and each has a different dragon inscription on it. The translated characters are pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust, which correspond to the so-called seven deadly sins in Christianity. We guess that these inscriptions correspond to the character weaknesses of the other seven monarchs among the four great kings. Norton marked each sword so that he could kill them with the appropriate dance in the future."
"Seven people... doesn't that include his own brother?" Lu Mingfei raised her hand and said, "Brothers are killing each other. He's still so angry when I killed his brother!"
"The dragon clan firmly believes in powerful strength, and their affection for each other is far less than their respect for strength. If they think their brothers are too weak and should not continue to exist, they will not hesitate to challenge war, destroy and devour each other. For those noble dragons on the throne, the fate of a king is to be killed by the new king in order to pass on power. This is why the history of the dragon clan can never escape the conclusion of war and betrayal." said Angé.
"This thing doesn't look like a weapon that can fight against a behemoth like the dragon clan." Caesar stepped forward and took a look at the smallest knife. It was too small for a human body, about the size of a letter opener. It would take a lot of effort to kill a deadpool. If the weapons used by the dragon clan were judged by their size, this set of swords should be expanded to a so-called 40-meter-long sword, but it would still be too small.
"It's definitely not possible now, because what you see is not its true form." The vice principal said, "Caesar, stretch out your hand."
He grabbed the fruit knife on the tray next to him, cut Caesar's finger, and raised the bleeding finger so that everyone could see the drop of blood falling into the sword case of the Seven Deadly Sins.
"Hey! Why don't you choose Chu Zihang!" Caesar pulled back his finger a little angrily. He certainly didn't mind the pain and blood, but he was a little dissatisfied that he was cut while Chu Zihang was not. Considering the issue of bloodline, Chu Zihang, who was nominally A+ grade, was higher than him and should have been cut.
Chu Zihang looked expressionlessly at the set of swords that were gradually coming to life.
"You're handsome, so go first." The vice principal shrugged. "Young handsome guys should shoulder the most important responsibilities. You can't let us two old guys or the beautiful lady over there bleed, right?"
Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly in secret agreement. She was always afraid of pain and was not willing to let her senior brother undergo surgery, so she had to let Caesar down. After all, he always thought he was very handsome, so that handsome guy should be the first to stand up.
The vice-president took a step back. Everyone could feel the changes in this set of swords. They came alive, as if seven hearts had awakened at the same time, beating in the cold sword case. Some sounded like the ancient Qin King's music for breaking formations, some sounded like nomadic folk songs on the western grasslands, and some sounded like hymns under the banner of the Crusaders.
It stands to reason that when Norton made this set of swords , the sword shapes and stories that appeared in later history had not yet been born. He should have completed such an outstanding work based on his imagination. In this sense, Norton is an exquisite sword master who is good at both casting and using, so he can understand the characteristics and effects of each different shape of sword.
The surface of the blade revealed dark red vine-like patterns, from the handle to the tip, so complex and intricate that they looked like blood vessels. If this weapon was used to kill a dragon, the dragon's blood would probably become a sacrifice to the blade.
"Would you like to try to pull them out? Once these swords are awakened, only half-bloods can pull them out. The stronger the bloodline, the farther the limit." The vice-principal looked at Caesar, "Should the most handsome one go first?"
Caesar accepted the challenge silently. In fact, even if the vice-president hadn't asked him this, he would have been the first to step forward and give it a try. Confident people are always so confident. He wanted to be the first person to set a good example for others.
He held the smallest lust, which was a thing not much bigger than a letter opener. On the surface, it looked easy, but only when he really held it did he understand how strange it was. He felt that the blood in his body was rushing to his fingertips. The powerful alchemical sword was testing his bloodline in some special way. Unqualified people could not even pull them out of the box, just like the sword in the stone, which only the king of England could wield.
But Caesar still pulled it out easily. After adapting to the call of that kind of power, he would keep up with the rhythm of the sword, and then he continued to challenge. The second one was Taotie, and the pulling force was ten times that of lust, and he spent a lot of effort. The third one was Greed, and this time he encountered great resistance, and even used the ancient oriental art of horse stance, holding it with both hands and stepping on the table, using an almost violent method to get this thing out, and he was exhausted and sweating.
The fourth one, laziness, obviously didn’t need to be tried anymore, as Caesar had already exhausted all his strength in the face of the test of greed.
