Chapter 55

At the bustling entrance of the Chicago train station, many passengers noticed the tall and handsome young man.

His black trench coat was blown in the cold wind, although it was not a famous brand, but the blood on the back of the trench coat that stretched out his wings was extremely eye-catching.

Not everyone has a lot of clothing brands, and more often than not, people's own temperament overrides good clothing.

Regardless of identity and status, the first thing people feel when they see this young man in a suitcase for the first time is a sense of calm and tranquility.

Even if a whole squad of gun-wielding terrorists rushed in the next second, there was no need to be afraid, this young man would step up and eliminate them all.

This can't help but make people more curious about his identity, and even a bold girl takes the initiative to step forward and want to talk to him with a bright and touching smile.

Lu Ming politely told the girl that he couldn't speak English, and after rejecting the other party's conversation, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the time:

15:50。

He flipped through the text message from Norma again:

"Dear Lu Mingfei student, this is a mission text message.

Be sure to arrive at Chicago Station at 16:00 Chicago time today, where a silver Porsche Bridge car with license plate number 'CAS001' will be waiting for you at the entrance of the train station.

For specific task details, please ask the person in charge of the task on the bus, please don't worry about your attendance, the executive department has asked the professors of each department for the next two days on your behalf. ”

The person in charge of driving Porsche...... There is no doubt that the principal of Angers, from the professors to the students of the Kassel Academy, loves to drive this type of high-end car.

Once he and Chu Zihang were invited to attend the dance of the student union, and that night the various luxury cars parked at the entrance of the Ample Pavilion could hold a luxury car exhibition hall, and only the two of them walked over.

Later, Chu Zihang said that as the master of the war group, you also need a tool for transportation.

Lu Mingfei thought about it, but unfortunately there were no tanks and combat vehicles like "Rand Raider" or "Predator" to buy, so he had to show the unique artistic style of the Weeping Angel on the Mercedes Benz sent by Chu Zihang's house.

Judging from the time, it seems that he came a little early, and the task owner has not yet appeared.

Just when Lu Mingfei was thinking about going back to the train station to sit and wait, a silver swift shadow drove into his sight.

In the open-top sports car, the silver-white haired old man smiled and waved at him.

Under the gaze of the pedestrians who stopped to observe the good car and the good people, Lu Mingfei lowered his head and sat on the Angers, a Porsche 911 Carrera.

"Looks like I'm just in time?"

Ange smiled, a bright red rose stuck in the chest of his black tailored suit.

"Is it okay...... Why drive this kind of car? ”

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"It's not mine, but it's a good car."

The engine roared cheerfully, and the silver cheetah rushed forward to a melodious aria.

"Not even a lid...... Not to mention bullets, even a brick can smash our heads. ”

“…… And the car is not good-looking. ”

Lu Mingfei sighed.

“…… Your alertness is good, but trust me, there's only a 3% chance of a fight on this mission. ”

Ange smiled dumbly, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the silver cheetah ran wildly down the road.

"And this car is also good, it drives fast. In case of a real fight, we can run a little faster. ”

Porsche didn't know how many traffic lights it had until it came to a stop on a quiet and deserted road.

"Tell me about the auction we're going to attend this time."

"Sotheby, one of the finest auction houses in the world, is an important place for the circulation of art."

"It is generally only opened twice a year, and the first time is mostly normal artwork, occasionally mixed with a few alchemical items; The second was dedicated to the half-bloods, auctioning alchemy items collected from all over the world. ”

"I think there's something you'll be interested in."

Ange handed over a beautifully printed copy of the book, "Turn to page seven." ”

On the seventh page of the document is a quaint parchment book of about twenty pages, and the photo only gives the words that look like a key ring on the cover of the book.

"What is this?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

"The construction book of the alchemy field - 'lifting the weight is light'."

"How light is a weight?"

"Yes, there is such a field of alchemy recorded in this book."

"It can impose an alchemy field on the object that cannot be expanded and can only exist in itself, so that the weight of the object is greatly reduced."

"I've heard about your collaboration with the neuratics of the Equipment Department, and you seem to be working together lately...... Uh, small Gundam? It's kind of mysterious anyway, but I think you need this kind of thing too. ”

Ange said.

"It's a really good thing...... But other half-breed forces should also grab it, right? ”

Lu Mingfei admitted that this alchemy realm was indeed of great use to him at the moment, and the weight difficulty of the exemplary battle armor might be able to be overcome.

"Of course they will rob, but they may not be willing to pay too much."

"A book on the construction of the alchemy field still needs an alchemist to study it, and the top alchemy master in the world is in our academy."

Ange smiled.

"Who?"

"Vice Chancellor, Nicholas. Flamel, his ancestor was the only one in the world who refined the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"But...... I don't have any money. ”

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly.

It's better to just recycle (grab) it......

From Astarte's point of view, this alien technology/sorcery should be recovered for his safekeeping.

"There's no need to worry about that," Ange handed over an envelope, "Norma deposited five million dollars into your student ID card as a security deposit and funding. ”

"You just hold up the sign, and the part that exceeds five million dollars will be made up for by the academy in the future."

The envelope contained a golden invitation signed "Katos.Lu (Katos. road)".

The academy's cadets usually have a mission ID - Katos is the name of the weeping warrior who gave his life to save himself from the orcs, and he inherited the genetic seed of the other party, as well as the identity and glory of the other party.

"But since it's the academy that pays for it, wouldn't it be nice if you just took a picture of it, principal? I don't mind being in charge of just watching the show. ”

"Almost all half-bloods know me and the secret party behind me, and if I hold up a sign, it proves that this thing is worth something; Some people don't mind raising the price with me a few more times to make me pay more. ”

"You're different, your current identity is quite secret, and the half-bloods don't know that you're a student of Kassel for the time being."

Ange said, pulling out a bottle of red wine from the door slot, "Would you like a drink?" Celebrate the completion of our mission in advance? ”

"No thanks."

Lu Mingfei shook his head and put away the envelope.

"Are you going to send me there, or am I going to walk there myself?"

"You can't show up with me yet, but you won't be able to walk to the auction house and drop the price, and a car will come and pick you up later."

Ange smiled, glancing at the suitcase at Lu Mingfei's feet, "Also, remind you that the auction house can't bring any guns and weapons in. ”
