Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 339: Odin's Crusade Team, Assemble! (Part 3)
"No, the Chen family will not do anything to the principal." Nuonuo shook her head, tilted her head back and drank the wine in the wine cellar as if it were sugar water. She has always had a good alcohol tolerance, but she lacked someone with whom she could confide and get drunk together.
"Although they have already joined the Gattuso family, based on my understanding of this family, they must be a group of fence-sitters who will bet on both sides. Now they are on the side of the Gattuso family because they think the Gattuso family has a higher chance of winning. However, they will not block their own way out. If the Gattuso family loses, they will be liquidated, so they have to leave a way out for themselves first. For example, they can also maintain cooperation with the academy and act as double agents for a while." Nono Shu.
“Senior Sister, are you so confident?” Lu Mingfei was still a little worried. The principal really had no resistance now, and any half-blood could easily kill him.
"That's where I grew up, so I should have some say, right? I know them too well. The history of this family is so dirty and disgusting. Otherwise, why would I rather stay in Kassel College or go out somewhere in the world to do research on a project during every holiday? I would rather stay in the Amazon rainforest for three months, taking a bath every day and watching giant pythons chasing me and trying to eat me, than set foot in that family." Nono's face was full of contempt.
She didn't use any particularly vicious words to curse her family, but the disgust was real enough. Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Caesar also disliked the Gattuso family. The fact that Nono and Caesar could get together might be that they were attracted to each other when they didn't know anything about each other.
"It's late at night. We have wine, snacks, and beauties. Everything is ready." Nuonuo looked at his watch and his surroundings, and finally pointed at Lu Mingfei and himself. "So you want to hear a story? About me and the Chen family. Maybe you will know more about your opponent."
"Since you are willing to talk, I am of course willing to listen." Lu Mingfei straightened her body and looked like a good girl, if you ignored the grease at the corners of her mouth.
"I have 54 brothers and sisters." Nuonuo reached out and wiped away the light from the corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth. The first sentence of her story was shocking.
"Your father is really...capable." Lu Mingfei praised him insincerely, saying that no emperor in all Chinese dynasties had such a high fertility rate. "So you and Caesar are really alike. You both don't like your own family and you both have a stud dad."
"No, you misunderstood. My father is not a playboy like Caesar's father and Pompey. He has so many children on purpose because he needs so many people to help manage the Chen family's business." Nuo Nuo waved her hand.
"Chen is the fifth largest surname in China, with a population of more than 60 million. If you see a billboard falling down on the street and killing more than a dozen people, there must be one person with the surname Chen. This surname has a long history. Legend has it that it is a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou emperor divided the land and established the State of Chen in Wanqiu. The people here took the country as their surname. Later, there was a civil strife in the Chen State, and the legitimate and illegitimate children fought for the throne . Prince Wan fled to the State of Qi and established a foothold in Qi. In the following decades, the Chen family's power in Qi became increasingly stronger, and finally they even directly launched a coup and seized the territory of Qi. In ancient times, Chen was pronounced the same as Tian, so this event was also called Tian's replacement of Qi in history."
"Is that the ancestor of your Chen family?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Yes, relying on their mixed-blood status, Qi did a lot of trouble for Xiang Yu during the Chu-Han contention. But after the Han Dynasty was established, the original land of Qi was given to the meritorious official Lu Shang, and the capital was built in Yingqiu. The Chen family lost the greatest control over this land and began to spread out."
Nuonuo said: "For thousands of years afterwards, the Chen family practiced the art of vertical and horizontal maneuvers, splitting up into multiple settlements while maintaining contact with each other. Whenever the world was in chaos, they would surrender everywhere. If they found that the current owner had a low chance of winning, they would decisively abandon it and surrender to the so-called next wise leader. They were all very capable, so even though there were some losers in the Chen family, by relying on this risk management of multiple investments, the Chen family could always retain a branch of incense and inheritance when the world was in turmoil and dynasties changed."
"Wow, it turns out that the Chen family has been investment managers thousands of years ago! Even the vampires on Wall Street have to admit defeat!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed.
"You can see many traces of the Chen family in history, such as Chen Sheng, the pioneer of anti-routine, Chen Ping, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, and Chen Gong, Chen Lin, and Chen Qun during the Three Kingdoms period. Oh, and don't forget that Cao Cao's rise to fame started from Yingchuan to Runan. These two places were gathering places for the Chen family. In fact, many of his advisers at the time were members of the Chen family, but they changed their names."
Nuo Nuo said calmly, "Many dragon-slaying families in ancient China have been buried for many years, but only the Chen family has survived to this day. In addition to relying on this method of making a living by doing many things, the other thing is the issue of offspring. Just like my father can have so many children now, the Chen family did the same thing in the past. Every generation would look for the offspring of the Chen family with the best bloodline, and then find countless women for him to have as many babies as possible."
"At that time, productivity was low, and giving birth was not as safe as it is now. It was a life-threatening thing. But the Chen family was rich and powerful, so of course they could find countless excellent women. And the man in the Chen family who was responsible for making the baby was of dragon descent, so of course he was a lively man who could have sex nine times a night. So even though the inheritance of dragon blood would gradually become diluted because the woman was not a hybrid, the Chen family was able to continue to this day in the chaotic times. To this day, they still use this method."
"So that's how it is." Lu Mingfei nodded, thinking, "I remember that you didn't seem to have a Word Spirit? Is that the reason?"
"Yes, even though Kassel Academy can rank me as A-level, my bloodline is actually very special. Just imagine it. Suppose the original Chen family hybrid has a very high bloodline. It's a cup of pure milk. You add half of water to dilute it each time, then pour it out and take half. Continue this operation, repeat it thousands or tens of thousands of times, and the remaining part will be so milky that your tongue can no longer taste it."
Nuo Nuo gestured with the two bottles of wine in front of him: "So the inheritance of hybrids is best passed down among hybrids. The Chen family is one of the few that doesn't do that. I am the glass of milk that has been diluted to the very end. This prevents me from having the power of Word Spirits like other hybrids. Instead, I have an innate profile. Since I was a child, I have been able to use the profile to discover things that others cannot see. In a sense, this is my Word Spirit, but it does not require the Dragon Script to activate, and it will not be recorded in the Word Spirit Table."
"Just because of this, I don't think I should hate my family that much, right?" Lu Mingfei paid attention to Nuo Nuo's eyes when she said this, "It's a big family after all . When I was a kid, I couldn't find any friends because I only had Lu Mingze. But he got bad and liked to spend money on other children, and then instigated them to slander me together, saying that my parents ran away and didn't want me anymore. As a result, I didn't have anyone to talk to at that time."
"Yes, if that alone wasn't enough to make me sick to the point of vomiting, they would also play with the so-called law of destiny." Nono's eyes seemed to be filled with dark clouds, "Just think about it, even in ancient times, it was difficult to raise so many children at once. If they were all raised, they would definitely fight over who would get more wealth and power, and even brothers would split up. That's why the Chen family has been cultivating their children painstakingly since they were young. We had already finished all the elementary school courses before we even started elementary school. The outstanding ones could even speak several foreign languages, and they were physically fit enough to beat seven or eight people of the same age."
"But not everyone can do it, because the children come from different mothers, all of whom are women hired by the Chen family. Although they will undergo strict physical and intelligence tests before getting pregnant, there will still be differences in the quality of the children born. These children will grow up together and compete with each other. Every year after the Chinese New Year, some of them will suddenly disappear in the crowd, and no one will see them again, until the number of children is controlled to a point where they are good enough and can be dispersed to various parts of the Chen family. Then, over and over again, these children will repeat this in their own territory."
Nuonuo looked down at his toes. "Some of those children who were wiped out of existence have never even seen the sun outside. It's clear that you just became friends with one of them a few days ago, and he happily made a wreath for you. A few days later, you suddenly found that he was gone, gone forever. Each of us knows what happened to the missing people, so we try to avoid having very close relationships so that we won't be hurt by someone's departure. When I was three years old, I had 54 brothers and sisters, but only 8 of them grew up. These 8 people are as ordinary as strangers. We might not even say hello when we meet them on the street."
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. She hadn't had that kind of tragic experience, so she could only imagine. She knew that the child that Nuonuo was talking about really existed and might even be her first friend in her life.
"Every child who grew up in the Chen family is a beast who stepped on piles of corpses." Nuo Nuo drank with big gulps of wine, spitting everywhere. Only in this way could she not think of those damned past events. "Generation after generation, the Chen family used this method to turn the children they raised into murderous demons. They kept giving birth to new offspring and kept killing their own family members with their own hands. Those who grew up would later inherit their methods, and the cycle would repeat over and over again. Over the years, the family members they killed could form a country! If I stayed in that kind of place, I would become a part of it, keep giving birth, and then strangle the necks of those weak children with my own hands."
"So I ran away from that place and never looked back." Nuonuo threw the empty wine bottle against the wall. Glass fragments flew everywhere, and some even pierced her thighs. However, she would only feel better when listening to the sound of destruction, as if the wine bottle represented the Chen family itself, and if she threw it casually, the Chen family would shatter.
"Can you escape?" Lu Mingfei asked softly.
"Of course I can't escape, I just try to escape as far as possible." Nuo Nuo smiled faintly, "How could they allow their children to escape from their control? They are the fruits of their hard work, and the family still depends on these children to continue to exist. But if I become Caesar Gattuso's wife, it will be different. In that case, I will be Mo Tong Gattuso, not a member of the Chen family, and they will no longer have the right to make me do anything. So my engagement with Caesar must not be annulled. If I lose this engagement, I will become the member of the Chen family that I hate the most. Only by marrying Caesar can I escape that nightmare."
"But according to the current situation, if you really marry Caesar, you will become the enemy of the mixed-blood world..." Lu Mingfei did not dare to say any more. At that point, Nuo Nuo would undoubtedly become the enemy of the academy and other school directors, and they might even go to war with each other.
"Not everyone in the Gattuso family is willing to go this far." Nono said slowly, "Caesar is the chosen son of the Gattuso family. No matter what mistakes he made in the past, he will be forgiven. He is very important to the Gattuso family. But he is also a rebellious child like me. If he opens his eyes and knows that he has dropped out of Kassel College and his family has become the enemy of the half-bloods, will he accept it calmly? If Caesar is that kind of person, I will kill him the first time I see him, and then poke my own eyes out."
That was her absolute trust in her boyfriend. Caesar Gattuso was the future boyfriend that Chen Motong had personally chosen. She knew very well that Caesar had the same vibe as herself. One of them was a red-haired witch, and the other was a rebellious young man. They were the same kind of people, so they came together quietly.
"Thank you for coming here to find me and telling me these things. If I had waited until I left the academy to learn these things, the world might not be what I knew." Nono said, "But I also hope you can understand me and forgive me. I am old now. I am no longer the female knight who can travel around the world with you. I have to make plans for my future."
"Before I came here, I never thought that I would be rejected..." Lu Mingfei looked a little sad. When she buried her head, she looked a bit like a bear abandoned on the roadside, dirty, but still wanting to smile beautifully at you.
"But I will still help you, and also help myself." Nuo Nuo supported Lu Mingfei's shoulders, lifted her head, and motioned her to look at herself. "I plan to leave here and go to Italy to find Caesar. Caesar must be there now. Isn't the Chen family planning to be a double agent? Then I will go to the Gattuso family to be my own spy. The future mistress of the Gattuso family still has some chance to speak. After all, the engagement has been recognized by both sides, and they should have no reason to reject me. I will go and see Caesar's current condition, but I am not sure whether I can contact you."
"Senior Sister, you are not old at all. You are going to go into the dangerous place alone!" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"But how can you get a tiger cub without risking it?" Nuonuo laughed arrogantly. What she was going to do was very dangerous, basically risking her life, but she was not afraid at all. "In fact, I think you can do what you want without me, because I already know the answer you want. Odin is easy to find. If you go back to your hometown, you will definitely see Odin again on the No. 0 elevated road that you and Chu Zihang have been through together."
"Why do you say that?"
"Odin's first appearance was in Siberia. He attacked your parents, the exploration team, and the unknown girl. At this time, we could still assume that his goal was to eliminate those who knew his secrets. He didn't want anyone to know the contents of those murals. But later he appeared in your hometown, in front of you, Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang's father. Why? He must have a reason, right?"
"Maybe it's that box?" Lu Mingfei thought about it carefully. "In the trunk of Mr. Chu's Maybach, there is a box from Kassel Academy with a flourishing world tree on it. Principal Ange said that Mr. Chu was originally on other missions and was later transferred to monitor me. Could Odin have appeared just for the things in that box?"
"No." Nuo Nuo shook her head, her eyes sparkling with brilliant gold. Through the profile, she had cleared the fog that no one could see clearly. "It was just a coincidence, a very coincidental coincidence. Odin did want the box, but he actually cared more about you! Because you are the only one who is connected to these two things at the same time. You are the one who survived the first incident and got to the second incident. Odin appeared on the viaduct just for you! Father Chu also realized this, so he decisively attacked Odin and gave you and Chu Zihang a chance to escape! He must have mastered the secret between you and Odin in the box he brought with him!"
