"How does it feel to face the Dragon King?" Someone asked.

"It's not good," Lu Mingfei replied, "I don't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness in the face of natural disasters in my life." ”

"Are you scared?" Someone else asked.

Lu Mingfei chuckled: "Why do you think so? Isn't it possible to try to prevent others from experiencing this feeling? ”

The girl who asked the question shrunk her neck: "Because I think ...... In the face of such an enemy, there may be some kind of shadow left in the heart. ”

"Thank you for your concern, but I don't think I'm there yet, and the psychiatrist at the college suggested that I take a walk in places with good scenery, and I've been doing it recently." Lu Mingfei smiled at the girl who still had a little baby fat on her face.

"No...... You're welcome. The girl didn't know how to respond, what to say? The boy in front of her, who didn't look much older than her, was a little different from the rumored indifference in the photo.

If he was drinking water at the moment, Su Enxi would definitely squirt out the water and splash it on the polite young man in the dress on the seat at the end of the long table. What does he mean by that smile that makes people feel good when he comes in?

"So, what do you think about the act of 'slaying dragons'?" The middle-aged man asked.

"What is this......" Lu Mingfei pondered for a while, then smiled, "It's something I have to do." ”

The old man stretched forward, his eyes were like eagles, and he said, "Oh, listening to your tone, you seem to be dissatisfied with your current life?" ”

Lu Mingfei looked at him: "If you can, who is willing to block your life and fight with dangerous dragons on the front line?" Rather than that, I'd rather find friends I've known for a long time and see things I've never seen before. But ......"

He looked around, as if looking at everyone at the table, but it was clear that he was the one who should be scrutinized.

"But if I don't go to the battlefield, I'm sure I'll have even more losses than before, right? I don't want that to happen. Dragons are intelligent creatures like us, and our civilization can be seen as a continuation of them, but it is almost impossible to live peacefully with them. "If the war really ends one day, I think I will go back to my normal life and find the daily life I want." Until then, though, I'll always be a sword, a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all dragon-blooded creatures. ”

"The First Evolution"

There was silence in the room, and some people turned their heads to look at the boy who made the remark, as if they were afraid that his deep eyes, which did not match their age, would see through the filth in their hearts.

I don't know who took the lead, and applause rang out in this small conference room.

"And one more important question......" Frost's sudden speech interrupted the applause, his expression was gloomy, "You reported that the dragon king Surtr died from his own world-destroying spirit, I still have some doubts about this, if that is really the case, then why are you still alive at that time, the closest to the dragon king at that time?" ”

Surtr died of his own words, as reported by Lu Mingfei to Norma. But from beginning to end, except for Ange, who left the field injured, he was the only one who had come into contact with the Dragon King Surtr. For this reason, Frost felt that it was reasonable for him to have such doubts.

Lu Mingfei's shoulders shrugged, but he seemed to be amused by his words: "What are you kidding?" If the release of that world-destroying spirit is successful, I don't think you here will be able to continue to sit here, right? After falling into the lava, he was as completely silent as the volcano. ”

The dragon king died, the imminent eruption of the supervolcano fell silent, and the world ushered in the next day's sunshine, which is what he wrote.

"You're ......!" Frost wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by the man in the first seat.

"No matter what you think, you killed the dragon king Constantine and witnessed the end of Surtr's burning of himself." Ange, who hadn't spoken since Lu Mingfei entered the house, looked into his eyes, and there was no emotion in his somewhat cloudy eyes.

He continued: "This kind of feat, only Menec, the original president of the Lionheart, can have, but the price he paid was himself and the entire Kassel estate. In this regard, you have far surpassed him. ”

Lu Mingfei also looked at him, and laughed out loud after a while: "If you also want to repair the bronze statue for me after I die, it will be spared, every time I pass by the memorial hall of the academy and see the bronze statue of the original Lionheart President inside, I am thinking, if he himself sees this, will he jump out and say that someone has repaired his nostrils too big?" ”

Lu Mingfei left, and the one who came in after him was Chu Zihang, who also belonged to the Lionheart Society. His face was calm, his posture was standard and he couldn't find fault, waiting for questions from the school trustees...... Originally, he thought so, but the headmaster of the first seat held his forehead and smiled, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to be able to speak normally.

The rest of the school directors are also the ones, the Asian female face of the school director and the baby face girl with a tense face, as if she is struggling with whether to laugh or not. The old man with the cane had an extremely pale face, and the other old man with Buddha beads was the same.

Yin Sha Shabai, who felt that it might not be a funny joke just now, but didn't understand why Ange was smiling happily, broke the embarrassment and said, "Please don't care about other people's gaffes, classmate Chu Zihang." So let's get straight to the point, I'm going to tell you about a 'Nibelungen' project......"

……

Lu Mingfei returned to the lounge next to the conference room, took a glass of juice and sat on the chair to taste it calmly.

Caesar, who had changed into a black suit like him, walked over slowly with a cup: "How is it, I'm right, right?" Some old fellows who should have been lying in the grave would not be likable no matter what. Of course, I'm not talking about the principal. ”

"Indeed." Lu Ming nodded unkindly, "People who lack a sense of humor will not make people feel like they want to be close no matter what. ”

Caesar tilted his head in confusion, as if he didn't think what he was talking to him was the same thing.

The door of the room, which had only been closed for a long time, opened again, and Chu Zihang, who had been in for a while, returned to the lounge. From the time he went in to the time he came out, it didn't even take more than three minutes.

Zero got up and entered the open door, without a word of communication with them the whole time. It was as if she was in a hurry and didn't want to delay for a second.

"I'm still going to take a lot of time with their verbose." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang with some surprise.

"They ask fast, and I answer quickly." Chu Zihang returned to his seat, and looked at Lu Mingfei with a little puzzled eyes with a little bit of goldenness.

Lu Mingfei shrugged: "I told a joke, and then some people laughed, and some people didn't, it's as simple as that." ”

Caesar was stunned: "Can you tell a joke in such a place...... I'm kind of eager to hear it. ”

Lu Mingfei paused, and then smiled: "No, I don't think you will laugh when you hear it, this is a cold joke that can only be understood by specific people." ”

There was a sound of the door opening in the back, Caesar was a little weird, what's going on today, the admissions interview of the academy is not so fast, right? Then he shook his head, said that he would take Zero's place and go in after the meeting.

The three of them were relatively speechless, and they obviously had something they wanted to ask, but because of the existence of a third person, they never asked. In the midst of such a terrible silence, Caesar pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing that he didn't even say hello to leave, you can imagine how much he is in the mood now.

Behind him, the school directors who had dispersed also came out one after another.

Taking off his expensive blazer and throwing it to Patsy, Caesar turned around and said coldly: "My value cannot be defined by anyone, whether it is in the past, present or future. I'm 'thankful' that my uncle was able to listen to some of my nonsense in his busy schedule, but you must know that Caesar, even if he does not have the surname Gattuso, is not worth it to anyone else. ”

After saying that, he simply left, leaving behind people who looked at each other. He still has work to do before he is informed that he is here.

Frost, whose face was still pale, chased Caesar away, and Patsy followed him after making amends to everyone.

The principal, who was supported by Yin Lizabeth, smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's really a good family ethics drama, although I don't know how many times this is." ”

"His presence is an outlier in Gattuso's house." Yin Lisabeth said softly, she was complimenting.

"Perhaps." The headmaster nodded slightly, glancing into the side lounge, but the three people who were supposed to be there were gone. Similarly, two people in the crowd who had just come out of the conference room had left at some point.

……

"What a good show...... Fingal got on the computer, not knowing whether he was praising or mocking.

He sighed, "But I still underestimated the status of the elder in the headmaster's heart, such a joke can make him laugh successfully." ”

"I think it's better for you to check this out than that." EVA interrupted his self-talk and opened a transparent curtain of light in front of him, "The three people you've been following have sent a message, and it looks like they've grabbed their tails." ”

Fingal's eyes sharpened, and the loose temperament on his body disappeared, and the whole person was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed. He said: "After all this time, is there finally some news?" I wondered if I should throw them out as bait as a decoy, and they wouldn't be good people anyway if I could hang out with that group. ”

The three men sent him a photo, and the person on it made him feel very familiar.

His eyes widened: "Isn't this the rookie of the Russian Federal Security Service...... Ah no, the trainee investigator? ”

Christina, Fingal remembered her name, after all, the photos and manuscripts of the scandal about her and the elder were still on his computer.

The tall girl seems to be at a party somewhere, and her bright appearance does not bear any resemblance to the hairy rookie investigator at all. If it weren't for the yellow diamond ring and the gemstone brooch that the elder gave him personally, he probably wouldn't have recognized each other.

But it wasn't this that surprised him, but the text that came with the photo. It reads: "Old guy, new partner, may be a little bit of a move lately." ”

Fingal is happy, it seems that there are other capable guys who are worried about the so-called "dark side of the world". And this time, he also implicated the relationship of the president.

……

Lu Mingfei hummed an unknown song and opened the door in front of him, and some people had already gathered in the luxurious suite of the Splandi Hotel.

Motioning for the assistant group and the newcomers to sit down, he snapped his fingers: "EVA, I NEED A FAVOR FROM YOU." ”

An ethereal female voice rang out in the room, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" Mr. Menek. ”

The golden runes lit up from Lu Mingfei's body, and Menek, who revealed his true face, changed back to his usual attire: "If anyone comes to visit, remember to remind me." ”

Su Enxi was dumbfounded, and Jiude Mai also reacted similarly, and Zero's face that had been tense seemed to be relieved. Chu Zihang...... He was still expressionless, but he unconsciously stood up in front of this person, because he felt that it was extremely impolite to sit in front of this person.

"You...... You, what are you? Su Enxi felt a little slurred, she seemed to remember that in the legend of Huaxia, it seems that after the ghost dies, it seems that it will become something else, the kind that even the ghost is afraid of. She felt the need to get a scare insurance against herself...... If any.

"Ah, this, it's just a rune for disguise, so you can only use an appearance to deceive people." Menek replied, "The master can't get away from the way he came up with it." Don't look at me so easily, but I fought brutally to get this opportunity. ”

He (Lucky D) beat Lu Shanyan (Lucky B) and Tiger (Lucky B) with a guessing box, which can really be considered cruel.

Jiude Mai held down Su Enxi, and her intuition told her that if she asked again, the topic might be biased. She asked, "If you're here, Mr. Menek, is that ......?"

"Well, I'm here to pick you up." Meneke opened the closet to reveal a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror behind the door, and he reached out his right hand to press on it.

Golden runes lit up from his hands, and the mirror he touched rippled like the surface of the water, until no one could be reflected on it.

"Come with me." Menek beckoned them and stepped inside, the mirror returning to its original shape after a ripple, leaving the room with four ...... The three men looked at each other.

"You're hesitating for a moment!" Hiding behind Jiude Mai, Su Enxi looked at the petite figure that did not enter the mirror, and then grabbed Jiude Mai's clothes, and she was lifted into it by Jiude Mai like a sack.

Chu Zihang held his breath and plunged into it as if he was practicing swimming for the first time.

I didn't feel anything, and Su Enxi, who was dead with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes. It was a platform planted with some unknown trees, and on one side of the platform was a gate engraved with mysterious runes, and on the other side, a cliff-like screen, with runes, isolated them from the wind and snow outside.

Zero slowly walked to the edge of the barrier, and she saw what seemed to be a platform floating in the air beneath an endless ice field, with wind, snow, and fog spreading unhindered across the lifeless land. This seems to be a realm that can freeze all souls, but it makes her feel an inexplicable peace of mind.

"Well, there's nothing to see in the 'Nibelungen' outside." Menek pushed open the rune-carved door, revealing a wide, endless passage within.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the realm of the dead. As the living, you are the first to set foot here. He smiled mysteriously, "Welcome again, welcome to Valhalla, to Valhalla, ruled by the god of death and storms!" ”
