Chapter 164: Bronze City
Lu Ming is not at home.
Lu Mingfei dialed Ange's phone, and it took more than ten seconds to connect.
"Good morning, Headmaster." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"Good morning?!" Ange's voice was confused with a sense of resentment, "I just slept for less than three hours before I was woken up by you!" ”
Oh yes, forget about jet lag. Lu Mingfei patted his head, although it is not time to sleep in Chicago now, but a busy person like the principal must often travel on business, and he may be able to circle the world dozens of times in a year, and it is not easy to say which time zone on the earth he is in now.
Fortunately, Ange also seemed to understand the particularity of the work and rest of a person like him who travels all the year round, so he didn't dwell on this topic, and asked instead: "Ming Fei, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Headmaster, I found a naturally awakened half-breed, who is my classmate, although the enrollment period has passed, but see if you can go through the back door and let her enroll with her." Lu Mingfei Dao.
Su Xiaoqiao on the side blinked-isn't it a bit too arrogant for you to say so openly and openly and go through the back door?
"No problem, I'll let Norma arrange for her to enroll, just send her information to Norma." Ange Road.
Because he was close enough and his sense of hearing became sensitive, Su Xiaoqiao could vaguely hear Ange's words.
Feed...... Why is it that such an important thing as recruiting a student is in the mouths of the two of you, "When you go to the store, you can help me buy a bag of melon seeds and come back"? Su Xiaoqiao complained in his heart.
"Wait, you said she's your classmate?" On the other side of the phone, Ange suddenly asked, "Ming Fei, I remember that Chu Zihang seems to be in the same high school as you, right?" ”
"Well, we're all from Shilan Middle School." Lu Mingfei Dao.
There was a sudden eerie silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long time, Ange said, "You Shilan Middle School...... Isn't Feng Shui particularly good? ”
"Feng Shui?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "Principal, are you also interested in Feng Shui?" Or is Feng Shui actually an alchemical concept? ”
"......No," Ange said, "I just can't figure out why an ordinary high school can have four mixed-race students in three classes, and there is one S-level and two A-levels." ”
"Four?" Lu Mingfei was surprised, "There is also a half-breed in Shilan Middle School?" ”
"Well, it's an A-level half-blood, she used to go to junior high school in Shilan Middle School, and when she was in high school, she was found by the college to awaken her bloodline, and it is also a very high A-level bloodline, you must know that although the A-level half-breeds in the secret party are not small, most of them are excellent B-level half-breeds who have been promoted by their merits in the executive department after graduation," Ange said, "Students who can be rated as A-level students just by virtue of their bloodline, usually only about ten per class, and at most there are not twenty." ”
Listening to Ange say this, Lu Mingfei felt a little that the "feng shui" of Shilan Middle School was too good.
"In recent years, the college has plans to build a new campus, and I wonder if to name the new campus 'Shilan' or the teaching building 'Shilan Building,'" Ange said, "I think the name is quite auspicious." ”
"Feudal superstition is not advisable, headmaster!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly said.
"Anyway, it doesn't cost money, so it doesn't hurt to believe it." Ange Road.
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Lu Mingfei pulled the corners of his mouth, and was about to say goodbye to the principal and hang up the phone, so that the old man who was woken up could go back to sleep as soon as possible, but Unexpectedly, Ange spoke.
"Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that your call is quite coincidental, I was going to contact you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
"Contact me? Why? Lu Mingfei was curious.
"It's a mission to explore the ruins, the academy has found a bronze relic at the bottom of the Yangtze River, which is sure to be left by dragons," Ange explained, "It was originally buried deep under the riverbed, but a miniature earthquake caused a gap in the bottom layer of the buried it, so that it can be detected, the academy is going to send an underwater operation team to investigate, I would like to ask if you want to participate in this operation?" ”
"Me?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Why me?" ”
"First, because you are Chinese, the academy usually tends to let Chinese students deal with Chinese tasks, rarely let foreign mixed-race people participate, even if there are foreigners, try to be Asian, second, your speech spirit is a rare high-level water king system speech spirit, I don't know why, the speech spirit of the Ocean and Water King line is the lowest awakening rate, and most of them are relatively lack of lethality," Ange said, "But your speech spirit level is very high, and the underwater environment can be strengthened, and underwater operations have environmental advantages for you." ”
"I see," Lu Mingfei hesitated, "Headmaster, when is the mission?" ”
"In a week, it's about time to start school, and you can come to school later if you have a task." Ange Road.
"In such a hurry?" Lu Mingfei was stunned and didn't want to go.
Not to mention that he just fought with the power of the phoenix yesterday, and now he doesn't want to do anything that wastes his energy at all.
Before the key, he promised Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su to participate in the school's "Freedom Day" activity, on that day, the Student Council and the Lionheart Club will have a full-scale confrontation match, and the winner will have a good prize and can also suppress the morale of the other party.
And Freedom Day is almost the beginning of school, and if he goes on a mission, he is likely to miss the "Freedom Day".
"Headmaster...... I probably won't be able to go. Lu Mingfei said.
"Why?" Ange asked.
"I promised Senior Brother Chu to participate in Freedom Day." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"That's really a problem, or ...... How many days do I postpone the date of Freedom Day? Ange suggested.
"Can you do this?!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
"Actually, I can also advance the mission by a few days, but this is not good, it will compress the team's preparation time, maybe it will affect their safety, compared to the better to postpone the freedom for a day, let the young people who are ready to endure for a few more days, maybe it will be more energetic at that time?" Ange Road.
Although the problem of a free day has been solved, Lu Mingfei still doesn't want to go, after all, he has just fought now, and his heart is a little tired.
"In addition, according to the detection, that bronze ruin is very large, and usually only dragon cities with a particularly thriving alchemy would build such a large pure metal building," Ange said leisurely, "It is likely that there is still alchemical knowledge to be discovered in it." ”
"Headmaster, please add my name to the task list, I will give my part to slay the dragon." Lu Mingfei said decisively.
……
"So you're going on a mission when you go to school?" Su Xiaoqiao asked.
Lu Mingfei nodded.
"It's a pity, I also said that I could go together, and I could let you be a coolie to help me with my luggage," Su Xiaoqiao looked regretful, "Now I can only go with Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su." ”
"Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su are sophomores, and they start school earlier than the freshmen, and they are also club leaders, so they want to return to school early, and they will go back to school yesterday." Lu Mingfei Dao.
When Senior Brother Chu left, he also asked Lu Mingfei if he wanted to go to school with them in advance, but Lu Mingfei refused because he wanted to go to Tony's world.
"Then I can only go by myself," Su Xiaoqiao complained, "It feels like one of you is busier than the other, and I am the only one who is idle." ”
"I don't want to be so busy......" Lu Mingfei tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the alchemy knowledge that the dragons in that ruins might have left behind, I wouldn't have gone into the water.
Although he shouldn't be able to understand the knowledge recorded in the dragon script now, he has the spirit of words called "mirror pupil" by the little devil, and he can first use his strong learning ability to forcibly write down the dragon text as a pattern, and when the level of alchemy reaches the level in the future, he will naturally be able to understand it - no matter how bad it is, he can also wait until the future to hand over that knowledge to Tony, and let Tony learn and analyze it.
"That's right," Su Xiaoqiao suddenly reacted, a little worried, "I became a half-breed because of your strength, will there be any difference between me and other half-bloods?" Or will it make others feel wrong, after all, didn't you say before that ordinary people only have a very small probability of giving birth to a half-blood? ”
Lu Mingfei was suddenly silent for a few seconds before he said: "Actually, strictly speaking, you can also be said to be a mixed-race, because Aunt Shaya's family is originally a mixed-race. ”
Su Xiaoqiao blinked, and his brain, which had finally calmed down after accepting the new worldview, fell into a state of downtime again.
Lu Mingfei exhaled lightly: "Little Heavenly Maiden, since you are already a half-blood, then I can tell you some things, in fact, I went to Viana Fort that time......"
Lu Mingfei told Su Xiaoqiao about the last time he followed Senior Brother Chu and them to Viana Fort, including the dirty transactions of the Solomon Temple, as well as Elaina's kidnapping of Amber and attacking them before rescuing, and finally being killed by him, as well as the fact that the Solomon Temple's temple would try to set off a tsunami, he told Su Xiaoqiao one by one.
From the halfway point of Lu Mingfei's narration, Su Xiaoqiao grabbed the corner of his clothes hard.
"About your cousin, little goddess, I'm sorry......" Lu Mingfei said softly.
"Thank you." Su Xiaoqiao lowered his head and said softly.
"What?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.
"I said thank you," Su Xiaoqiao exhaled lightly, turned his head, and stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes, his eyes were full of water, "Thank you for saving Cousin Amber and saving us, and thank you...... Didn't let Cousin Elaine go wrong all the time. ”
"I thought you'd blame me." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"What? I look a lot like an unreasonable person? Su Xiaoqiao asked rhetorically.
Lu Mingfei hurriedly shook his head.
Su Xiaoqiao grabbed a cushion and hugged it in his arms, and after a few seconds, he suddenly threw the pillow away, and turned his head to stare at Lu Mingfei: "Can you lend me your shoulder?" ”
"Ah...... No problem. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly.
Su Xiaoqiao suddenly wrapped her arms around Lu Mingfei's neck and buried her head in his shoulder, her slender shoulders trembling with her breathing.
It was the first time Lu Mingfei had seen Xiao Tiannu look so fragile.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively raised an arm and wrapped it around Su Xiaoqiao's shoulder, Su Xiaoqiao paused slightly, and then hugged him harder.
