Chapter 95: Coming Home, a New Home and Crossing Again
The entire town of Viana do Castelo is covered in rain, a town with a strong religious atmosphere, and the palaces and churches decorated with coats of arms seem to be dissolved in the rain.
The Grand Master of Solomon's Temple walked in the rain, he was wearing a heavy embroidered cloak, under which was an alchemical knight's armor made of silver and iron, and behind him a knight who was more than 1.9 meters tall held an umbrella for him, and he had to raise his arms high, because he was still too short compared to the majestic Grand Master.
Another retainer followed behind the Grand Master, carrying a lance and a Bible.
Grand Master's dark green eyes stared at an artificial island in the distance, where he could feel the disturbances of the elements and the fluctuations of the alchemy realm.
After receiving a report from Inspector General Shilun, he personally came to calm the chaos here.
He didn't specifically know what was going on here, he was the Grand Master of Solomon's Temple, the master of the legacy of the Knights Templar hundreds of years ago.
He came with the seven sealed scrolls of Revelation, and he was surrounded by lambs everywhere he went.
Turning a corner, the two servants behind the Grand Master suddenly fell forward to the ground, and the people, umbrellas, spears, and Bibles smashed a large splash on the ground, and the mud splashed on the Grand Master's delicate embroidered cloak.
The Grand Master stopped stiffly and turned his head, and not far away there was a stone pavilion, the pillars covered with ivy, looming in the rain.
In the stone pavilion was a bottle of champagne and two goblets, one of which already contained wine and the other......
An old man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked like an old man except for silver hair and wrinkles, was pouring wine into an empty cup, and a delicate rose was stuck in his breast pocket.
The scene in front of me is like some kind of landscape painting, with champagne and roses being the only bright colors in the painting.
But the Grand Master had no intention of appreciating the painting, he stared at the old man in the pavilion, and subconsciously reached out to touch the saber on his waist, but he felt empty.
Only then did he see his sword, which was resting quietly on the empty chair opposite the old man in the stone pavilion.
"...... Angers," Grand Master whispered the name of this legendary man who had rocked Europe for decades, his blonde hair wet from the rain and sticking to his forehead in embarrassment.
"Old friend," Ange smiled at the Grand Master, like an elegant and easy-going old gentleman, "come and have a drink." ”
……
Lu Mingfei finally chose to swim back, after all, it is not a problem to stand in the storm and blow the sea breeze all the time.
Fortunately, Old Tang did not laugh at him on this matter, because after he went back, the three of them had to face a more realistic problem - how would they go back?
The old captain who sent them was already vigorous, and the ship was vigorous with the old captain, and he couldn't expect Lu Mingfei, who had seen the bottom of the blue stripe, to cross the sea with them on the ice.
Are they going to swim back?
Fortunately, after rummaging, although Lu Mingfei and Senior Brother Chu's mobile phones were damaged in combat effectiveness and struck, Lao Tang had been fishing, and his mobile phones were actually intact, so he could call the old patriarch for help and send a yacht to pick them up.
When I brought Old Tang here, I expected him to crack or disrupt the alchemy realm here, but I never thought that although he touched the whole fish, he played an unexpected role at the last moment, and from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as a creation and a man.
A day later.
A small four-passenger yacht is docked on the artificial road.
Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Lao Tang disembarked, and a case of Captain Morgan's black rum was placed in the fourth seat.
The dragon's corpse sank to the bottom of the sea, and with its density, it was not expected to be carried away by the current, just waiting for the secret party's people to open the operation ship to deal with it, and the ocean current took away the ice shelf that Lu Mingfei froze out during the battle yesterday, and it should completely melt in a few days, without a trace.
Lu Mingfei brought down the wine, and the three of them silently walked into the temple.
The temple was deserted, the moss was crawling all over the pillars, and the statue of Our Lady of Anguo Nia was pushed to the ground by the dragon, with a compassionate face.
Lu Mingfei put the wine down, and Old Tang took out a bottle and opened it.
Chu Zihang found a square stone slab and carved words on it with village rain, he didn't understand Portuguese, so he carved the handwriting in English.
[There is a captain buried here, he is a well-deserved One Piece]
"If anyone sees this monument, it is estimated that they are fans of One Piece who are engaged in performance art." Lu Mingfei complained.
"I've checked, this temple is located in a remote location, and there are many reefs nearby, so generally no one will come over, people will only pray here from afar," Chu Zi said, "The Solomon Temple Society is probably specially located here, so as not to have ordinary people come to worship and affect the alchemy sorting matrix." ”
"That's right." Lu Mingfei nodded.
"Where is the monument?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Where you can see the sea." Lu Mingfei thought for a while.
Lu Mingfei carried the monument, and Chu Zihang took out a shovel from the yacht, dug a pit outside the temple facing the sea, and erected a monument.
After the old Tang finished the wine, he walked over with the alchemy pirate scimitar, and said with a painful face that this is the only relic of the old captain, let's bury him and set up a clothed grave.
Lu Mingfei said that if the old captain knew that you buried the sword that his ancestors used to kill the servant into the soil, he would have to tell you at night.
Immediately, he pulled out a few crumpled euro bills with the smell of the sea and buried them in the soil.
A few days ago, when fishing at sea, the old captain confessed to Lu Mingfei that he deliberately brought them to the sea area where there were no big fish.
Because Xiaotiannu's family paid, Lu Mingfei never had a place to spend money, so these euros were kept until today.
After burying the relics, Lu Mingfei and the three of them took the rum they brought and toasted the old captain in turn.
Immediately, Old Tang and Senior Brother went to the ship to get tribute - although I don't know if the Portuguese are happy or not, but the old captain is such an open-minded and bold person, he will definitely not care too much about the form.
Lu Mingfei stayed here and re-repaired the monument.
By the time Chu Zihang came back with a large bag and a small bag, the stele had been carefully arranged, and the surrounding area had been cleared of weeds and gravel, and Lu Mingfei was sitting on a large raised reef not far away, carrying half a bottle of rum, and his black eyes reflected a seagull skimming the water.
Chu Zihang put down his things and walked to Lu Mingfei's side with wine in the same hand.
"Senior brother, I was just thinking, the information of the academy says that the half-breed is far superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence, appearance, physical fitness, and even disease resistance and longevity, and the half-breed is the absolute elite of the human race," Lu Mingfei looked at the coastline in the distance, "But is the half-breed necessarily superior to ordinary people?" ”
"You see, they are also ancestors who are illustrious, and Elaina can be regarded as a nobleman in modern times, but she is crazy about the glory and power of her bloodline, and finally makes herself look like a man and a ghost, and even death is to blame," Lu Mingfei toasted in the direction of the old captain's sinking, pouring the wine into the waves, dark wine and snow-white waves intertwined, "The old captain is already an ordinary person in terms of bloodline and identity, and even the glory of his ancestors sounds like a biographical story, but he is a well-deserved One Piece." ”
"Elaina made a mistake, she thought that bloodline was everything, but in this case, the world should still be occupied by dragons," Chu Zihang also opened the wine and raised his glass in the direction of the old captain, "Half-bloods are never superior to ordinary people, and what deserves respect is never the glorious ancestors or noble bloodlines, but those who work hard and have courage and integrity, and these have nothing to do with bloodline." ”
"Respect the old captain!" Lu Mingfei got up, took a sip, and poured all the remaining wine into the waves.
"Respect the old captain!" Chu Zihang is the same.
"Ming Fei, is this considered polluting the ocean?" Old Tang ran over from behind with a large bag and a small bag, and questioned.
"Get out! Doesn't it depend on the atmosphere! Lu Mingfei kicked over, "And we poured wine, not nuclear sewage!" ”
……
The aftermath personnel of the academy arrived on the day that Lu Mingfei and the others killed the dragon, and began to arrange the cover-up.
After paying tribute to the old captain, Lu Mingfei's task was completely completed, they submitted an application to the academy for the end of the mission and passed, Lao Tang asked the Salvadoran family to receive the payment, and then everyone said goodbye and stepped on the plane back.
Because the mission was over, Chu Zihang and Susie didn't have to accompany Lu Mingfei to transfer back to China, and the two of them flew back to the academy directly.
Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiao and Su Xiaoqiao's mother flew back to China together, Norma said that because of the sudden change in this mission, it is more special, so there may be additional rewards for Lu Mingfei and the three of them in the future, but it needs to be decided after discussion by the school's senior management.
In fact, Lu Mingfei can not return to China so soon, after all, Chu Zihang and Susie have to rush back to take dragon slaying class, and he doesn't have to go to high school anymore, he can play as long as he wants before entering school.
But Susie's words before really scared him, so that he decided to return to China after the incident was over - what if the little heavenly girl's family really drugged him?
After returning to China, Lu Mingfei directly told Shilan Middle School that he had been escorted by the University of Kassel, and that he had been favored by a tutor to join his research group in advance, and now he had started to study with that tutor in advance and could not go to school.
Ange was happy to help Lu Mingfei fulfill this lie, and after he called the school, Lu Mingfei didn't have to go to school except on the day of graduation.
As for the time when you don't have to go to school...... To be honest, he couldn't be idle, Lu Mingfei bought a bunch of science and computer-related books, and started a painful self-study life in the room of the Regent Hotel.
……
Su Xiaoqiao's house, the bedroom of Su Xiaoqiao's parents.
"No, no, no," Su Jiannan went around the bed to avoid his wife, panting, "It's really not good, wife, you can understand me, I'm in my forties, not when I was young." ”
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, why are you acting like this?" Shaya was wearing suspender pajamas and sat on the edge of the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, dissatisfied.
"To be reasonable, for my age, my performance is definitely excellent, right? You don't know that some of my friends who are about the same age are now taking Chinese medicine for conditioning. Su Jiannan appealed for himself.
"Then you can take care of it too." Shaya suggested.
"I ...... I don't need to! Su Jiannan looked stiff.
In fact, the main reason is that his health has been deteriorating recently, so he is drinking Chinese medicine to regulate vitality, and the doctor does not recommend him to drink Chinese medicine that specializes in regulating that aspect at the same time, but he doesn't want to tell his wife about this reason, which makes her worry.
So Su Jiannan decisively changed the topic: "By the way, wife, let me tell you something, you must stay calm." ”
"Don't tell me you've hired a new young and beautiful little secretary!" Shaya snorted her tiger teeth at Su Jiannan.
"No, no, my secretary has always taken practicality as the only criterion......" After a pause, Su Jiannan reacted and added, "It refers to practicality in terms of work!" ”
"What's that?" Shaya asked.
"Xiao Qiao has been very close to a boy in their class recently, the boy named Lu Mingfei that she brought to Portugal, you must have seen him in Portugal. I also met the boy a few times, investigated his family background, his family background is innocent, his parents are high-level intellectuals, although Xiaoqiao and he are still a little younger, but I really think that it is not a bad thing for them to be close, and it is ......" Su Jiannan said cautiously.
He wasn't going to tell his wife and daughter about the Dragonborn right now, so he kept his eyes on the pillow as he spoke, and as soon as his wife got angry and hit him, he picked up the pillow and blocked it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, after his wife heard that her daughter, who had just turned eighteen years old and had not graduated from high school, had a close relationship with other boys, and her own father did not object, she did not scold herself angrily, but had a contemplative expression.
Su Jiannan was full of question marks.
After a while, Shaya spoke: "Husband, do we have a few idle houses?" ”
"Yes, and it's not a few, it's a lot, some of them I bought for investment before, some of them were given to me by others and I don't want to accept them, by the way, there are still money owed to me that can't afford to use the garage to pay off the debt...... "Su Jiannan said.
Shaya stretched out a finger and proposed: "Xiaoqiao said before that Lu Mingfei had a falling out with his family, so now he is homeless and has been living in a hotel, so let's pick a good house for him to live in, what do you think?" ”
Su Jiannan: ???
……
Two days later, in the Peacock Mansion villa area in the east of the city, in front of a beautifully decorated villa.
Lu Mingfei and Su Jiannan stood at the door, and Lu Mingfei looked dazed: "Uncle Su, do you really want to lend me this villa?" ”
"Hey!" Su Jiannan shook his head, "Virtuous nephew, what is the relationship between the two of us, don't you say that if you borrow that, you will see the outside?" If you like this, just live first, tomorrow I will let the secretary to handle the transfer, by the way to help you contact the cleaning company to clean regularly, if you don't like it, uncle will take you to see something else. ”
"No need, no uncle, I like it a lot," Lu Mingfei hurriedly shook his head, "I received that intention, but I can't accept such a big gift in vain, just when I bought it, can you wait for the next wave of shares to pay dividends before I give it to you?" ”
"It's all said, let's talk about money," Su Jiannan shook his head and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "I heard Xiaoqiao say that your birthday is coming, so let my uncle give you a birthday gift in advance!" ”
When it came to this, Lu Mingfei couldn't refuse, so he could only hold Su Jiannan's hand and agree with a touched face.
He was very skeptical that Su Xiaoqiao's mother had said something to Su Xiaoqiao's father, but he had no evidence.
……
Villa, master bedroom, into the night.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, rubbed the corners of his eyes and got up from the bed.
It was dark and silent around the house, and the wind rustled outside the window.
It has been more than a month since he returned from Portugal, and he has been studying himself all kinds of books during this time, which has caused his schedule to be a little disordered, sleeping during the day and waking up at night.
"No, you can't do this in the future, even if you don't go to school, you have to have a regular schedule......
Lu Mingfei turned on the bedroom light while running his hair through the crushed hair with his hands.
He wasn't worried that his chaotic routine would be unhealthy as a half-breed, mainly because at night or after waking up at dusk, the room was full of drowsiness, and the feeling was quite depressing, as if he had slept in the far corner of the world where no one cared.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoqiao always comes to him to make up for classes in his spare time, or drags him out to play, which is called a beautiful name - to reasonably release the pressure of the third year of high school.
So although his routine is not normal, it is not particularly chaotic, and it should still be easy to adjust.
You have to adjust, otherwise you will lie in bed for three minutes after waking up every day, and you won't even be in the mood to get up.
But if he wants to be lively, he has another way.
After changing his clothes and washing his face, Lu Mingfei felt his remaining crossing energy - not full, but it was also sufficient.
Although he had already inspected the house with the mentality of "villain first and then gentleman", "the heart of guarding against people is indispensable", and "being careful is not a big mistake", he did not find anything like a camera, but Lu Mingfei still walked into the bathroom, and then silently communicated the power of crossing in his body and disappeared in place.
