Chapter 272: Beowulf: Lu Mingfei is right? The old man is here to test you......

Italy, Portofino, in a pizzeria.

The waitress called Man Lin by the old owner carries a large plate of Four Seasons Pizza on the table.

This pizza is made with tomato sauce and cheese as a base, divided into four equal portions, and sprinkled with four fillings: mushrooms, black olives, artichokes, and cooked ham, symbolizing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, hence the name "Four Seasons Pizza".

Before, Lu Mingfei felt that the school board had a dinner party that was a bit too casual, so he actually chose a pizza shop, only to find out later that it was opened by this dragon slayer who had retreated behind the scenes, and it seemed to be a quite powerful dragon slayer.

Even with his previous judgment of the school board, he was a little wrong, he thought that this group of people was as informal as the Kassel Academy, but he didn't expect them to eat pizza...... with a knife and fork.

Looking at the crowd who put the pizza on the silver plate and enjoyed it slowly as if cutting a steak, Lu Mingfei did not hesitate to take the disposable gloves placed in the box on the dining table, picked up a corner of the pizza with his hand and ate it.

Elizabeth, who was surrounded by the temperament of a noble lady and a queen, couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei, and handed a look to Ange beside her—didn't you teach him etiquette before you came?

The old man wearing the rosewood rosary also looked at Ange and said in a low voice, "S-class students, it's best to spend a little effort to learn etiquette. ”

The old man's voice was soft enough, but Lu Mingfei's five senses could still be heard clearly, and he couldn't help but pout—how could the half-bloods pretend to be more than the other? To eat a pizza, you also need to use a knife and fork.

In another world, I didn't pay that much attention to meeting the Queen of England with Tony.

But it's understandable that others are pretending to be like this, why did the principal also pretend to be like this? He had the impression that although Lyonge sometimes had the face of an old gentleman, he was definitely not a very "etiquette" person in private.

"Mingfei," Charlotte gently poked Lu Mingfei with her elbow and reminded in a low voice, "It's better to use a knife and fork on this occasion." ”

Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to speak, the one-legged old man in the back kitchen came out on crutches and looked at Lu Mingfei with a complicated expression: "You are actually the only one in this group of guys who knows how to enjoy pizza?" ”

Lu Ming was puzzled.

"I've said many times that pizza should be eaten with your hands and eaten in a big bite, which is the best praise for the chef! As a result, they never put down their knives and forks, as if eating pizza with their hands would damage the face of the nobles," the old man complained, "what is this called in your Chinese idioms?" Oh yes, vassal elegance! ”

Ange was a little embarrassed: "Leighton, the school board will discuss important matters. ”

"I know, I know, I will avoid it," the one-legged old man known as "Layton" turned away on crutches, muttering in a voice that everyone could hear, "There is something important, you are just afraid that I will lose your face......"

Lu Mingfei took a sip of Coke to hide his desire to laugh.

Sure enough, as the old shopkeeper had said, there was nothing important to discuss, and as soon as he left, the rest of the school board began to talk about rambling topics.

Ange chatted with the old man around him about the collectibles that the two men had bought from various auctions, including ordinary antique artworks, alchemical treasures dug up from ancient tombs, and even handicrafts made by modern skilled craftsmen.

However, Lu Mingfei listened carefully, and the focus of the two people's argument and comparison was not how precious their collections were, but the "cost performance" of those collections, that is, who bought them at a lower price for the same level of collections.

For example, Ange said that he once bought an unknown age that looked like a brass alcohol blowtorch for less than $400,000, but it was later identified by professionals in the equipment department as a weapon from a 19th-century alchemist, depicting a fairly advanced alchemy matrix, and the fuel was not alcohol, but refined mercury-containing nitroglycerin.

After installing the right fuel and turning the "alcohol blowtorch" sideways, it can continuously release a cone-shaped flame up to 20 meters long, with an explosive effect, and at the same time release a huge amount of mercury vapor.

The old man who argued with Ange said that he once photographed a rusted Ontario cavalry knife with only half left, and later found out that the knife was a powerful poisonous alchemy weapon, because it had no owner for too long, and the poison corroded the alchemy metal, although only half was left, but it still had a deadly threat to dragons of less than three generations.

Lu Mingfei originally had no intention of listening to the two old men arguing, but Charlotte and Elizabeth, who were closer to him, chatted about all the topics between girls, and he was not interested in cosmetics, skin care products, brand-name bags handmade by masters, and clothes and jewelry.

But on the plus side, although there was no topic of interest to him at the long table, at least the pizza was really delicious - all the food he had eaten in the two worlds combined, this pizza could also rank in the top three, which can be said to be the pinnacle of cooking.

In Japan, at least he has to be named a "pizza fairy", and if he were in Tony's world, he would have to ask the old owner if he would like to be his personal chef.

But forget it in this world, the dragon slayer has its own pride, and the secret party is not a black-hearted enterprise, and the dragon slayer who leaves permanent disability and retreats to the second line after fighting bravely, even if it is only D-class, will be richly compensated, and the old shopkeeper must be an A-level half-blood, and the pension is astronomical, and he will never be moved by money.

Unless......

Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin with the hand that didn't take the pizza - if the desperate virus was perfected and the old shopkeeper's disability was cured, could he use this condition to let the old shopkeeper work for him?

Can...... Let him make me a pineapple pizza?

"Lu Mingfei? Lu Mingfei? Caesar's voice made Lu Mingfei retract his thoughts.

"What's wrong, Brother Caesar? What did you just say? Lu Mingfei asked.

"I just asked, how have Chu Zihang and Lionheart been doing recently?" "I've been on a mission in Brazil for the last month, and I've been in Italy just after my mission, so I don't have time to pay attention to the academy. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Mingfei always felt that since the day of freedom, the relationship between Caesar and Senior Brother Chu has eased, and even with the Lionheart and the Student Council, they are no longer so compatible—Lu Mingfei feels that this is because the two of them have fought side by side.

"The Lionheart Club is still the same, and there are no competitions that need to compete with the Student Union recently," Lu Mingfei said, "Senior Brother Chu...... Why don't you go to the hotel where we are staying after eating, Senior Brother Chu is there. ”

"Chu Zihang is also here?" Caesar was stunned.

"Here, the principal said that the elders will bring an entourage to the senators' meeting, and we can't weaken our momentum, so we called Senior Brother Chu to help, and he is now in the hotel to help us watch 'that thing'." Lu Mingfei Dao.

"That thing" naturally refers to the seven deadly sins.

Although the value of the Seven Deadly Sins was huge, Lu Mingfei was quite relieved to hand it over to Senior Brother Chu for safekeeping, after all, Senior Brother Chu was the most reliable person he knew.

"That's right," Caesar raised his eyebrows......, "that's right, let's go out together tonight, you should be your first time in Portofino, and I can be your guide." ”

"Okay," Lu Mingfei nodded, turned his head and shouted towards the store, "Shopkeeper, can you pack two pizzas later, I'll take them back to my friends to eat." ”

"It's useless," said the most non-existent middle-aged man in the room, who came on a bicycle in a tracksuit, "Uncle Layton never asks people to pack pizza, he said......"

"Storing it for too long can ruin the perfect taste of the pizza," the old owner came out of the back kitchen, "but I can make an exception this time." ”

"Why?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and he said in his heart, Could it be that this world has become so realistic that even the stubborn Uncle Layton will bow his head to the S-class?

"Because he's the only one who doesn't spoil the beauty of pizza with utensils, pizza should be eaten with your hands! You poor old-fashioned aristocrats! The old shopkeeper complained.

Lu Mingfei supported his cheek with one hand - he no longer expected the half-race race to have normal people except Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su.

……

Lu Mingfei and Ange came on a walk before, and when they went back, they naturally took a walk.

The hotel they stayed in was chosen by Norma, a glass building facing the bay, from the outside, the glass curtain wall reflects the blue sea and blue sky, the shadow of the coconut grove trees, and the seagulls surround the clouds, which is a quiet and beautiful picture......

Violent shattering and explosions rang out, and a room in the middle and upper floors of the hotel suddenly sprayed out with thin glass shards and flames, and three pitch-black shadows drew an embarrassing arc and fell into the bay.

Lu Mingfei and Ange glanced at each other.

Ange's eyes lit up with a scorching light, and the sound of the waves and wind around him froze.

Speech Spirit Time is zero, and the duration of the domain is slowed by a factor of fifty.

If it weren't for the seven deadly sins, Ange wouldn't have wasted his limited time on the road, because he didn't have a word of nonsense with Lu Mingfei, and rushed towards the hotel the moment he released the spirit of speech, and in the eyes of ordinary people on the street, he could only see two figures that disappeared abruptly like ghosts.

……

in a hotel room.

Countless debris were scattered all over the ground, the floor-to-ceiling windows had been completely blasted open, the sea breeze blew in, and the smell of the sea and the smell of scorching were mixed together.

Chu Zihang held the village rain, facing the broken floor-to-ceiling window, and tiny scales appeared on his face - in order to solve the invaders as soon as possible and protect the seven deadly sins, he directly entered a state of violent blood.

Of course, there is also a reason that the enemy's sense of oppression is too strong, almost unprecedentedly strong.

The scales on Chu Zihang's face slowly retracted into his body, and almost at the same time as the scales disappeared, the figures of Lu Mingfei and Ange appeared at the door, and even people like Chu Zihang couldn't help but skip a half-beat heartbeat - refining bloodline is a taboo for the secret party and the academy, and he was almost caught by the principal himself just now.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Lu Mingfei walked over quickly.

Chu Zihang shook his head and made a brief report on the situation: "I used Jun Yan, the enemy was blown out, and the Seven Deadly Sins are still there." ”

Following the direction of Chu Zihang's finger, the Seven Deadly Sins stood in the corner of the room, and Jun Yan had also covered it just now, but it had not left the slightest trace.

"The Seven Deadly Sins don't matter, Senior Brother, you're not injured, are you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chu Zihang paused, raised his left hand, and blood was dripping on his forearm: "There is only one skin wound, and the enemy used some kind of strong weapon." ”

Lu Mingfei grabbed Chu Zihang's wrist to check it, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "This is still called skin trauma?" Senior brother, do you have any misunderstanding about the injury, this is almost in time to scrape the bones to cure the poison. ”

Chu Zihang was silent - if he remained in a state of violent blood for a while, his wounds would recover quickly, but this would not be worth the loss, and in front of Lu Mingfei and the principal, he would not dare to do so.

"Senior brother, come to the bathroom, I'll help you deal with the wound." Lu Ming quickly took out the medicine box, walked into the bathroom with Chu Zihang, and didn't forget to shout, "Principal, the aftermath will be handed over to you!" ”

Ange took out his mobile phone: "Norma, help me transfer the treasurer, Professor Mance, and tell him to come to the hotel to check the compensation and sealing problems, and immediately send the nearest commissioner of the enforcement department to the bay to check the traces of the enemy." ”

Chu Zihang was injured, Lu Mingfei helped him deal with his wounds, and he had to look at the seven most important sins, and Ange could only hand over the investigation task to the commissioner of the Enforcement Department.

I don't know how Professor Mance docked, explained and sealed the hotel, anyway, ten minutes later, the person in charge of the hotel politely came over and changed the room for the three of them.

But unfortunately, dozens of minutes later, Norma and Professor Schneider came with the news that the commissioner in charge of the investigation found nothing.

It stands to reason that very few creatures can survive or even maintain their ability to move after being blown up by Jun Yan, so according to Norma and Professor Schneider, it should be that the attackers were recovered by the organization behind them in advance.

As for Chu Zihang's side...... Although he had fought with the enemy, according to him, the enemy was shrouded in combat uniforms and black robes, and he was wearing a mask, and he could not judge.

Of course, this situation did not surprise Ange and Lu Mingfei - the person who came to rob the Seven Deadly Sins, whether it was a certain patriarchal family or an external force, would definitely disguise himself in advance, the patriarchal family was afraid that they would become the target of public criticism after being exposed, and the external forces were afraid of the revenge of the secret party.

But Lu Mingfei made an unexpected discovery.

Because of the mirror pupil, he learned a little bit of knowledge in various categories, and when he treated Chu Zihang's wound, he found that the wound made by the so-called "sharp weapon" on Chu Zihang's arm was more like a ...... than a weapon such as a sword Claws.

In the fierce battle, the enemy used claws to carry out a sneak attack, Chu Zihang may not be able to react in time what kind of weapon it is, Lu Ming can trace the source more than to check the wound.

However, this kind of information is not very meaningful, and many powerful families will have some forbidden powers that are strictly forbidden on the surface, including certain potions or other methods that make Deadpool into stronger power - the path of the gods can also have a similar effect.

Although there was no substantial loss, and even with Chu Zihang's bloodline, his wounds could be recovered without stitches, but after all, there was an attack, and the agreement between Lu Mingfei and Caesar to "go out with three people to play" was naturally postponed until the end of the Elders Meeting the day after tomorrow.

……

Night.

Lu Mingfei lay in his room, did not draw the curtains, and turned his head to look at the bright moon on the sea outside.

The Seven Deadly Sins were sent by him to the Headmaster's room - there was not necessarily only one wave of attackers coming at the Seven Deadly Sins, it would be better to say that it was during the day, but if the attackers came at night, it would definitely affect his sleep.

So he made an agreement with the headmaster that he would take care of the seven deadly sins during the day and that the headmaster would come at night.

The desolate harmonica sound sounded from outside, obviously not too loud, but in the ears, there was an illusion that it overwhelmed the sound of the waves.

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly, and the harmonica sound concealed the will to "invite", or rather the meaning.

This method of transmitting the will through sound as a carrier is also documented in the path of the fire sword - only those who have completed the seven essentia can do it.

Lu Mingfei's new room was changed to the lower floor, he simply opened the window directly, turned over and jumped down.

Falling lightly on the beach, Lu Mingfei looked up, and a figure like a marble tablet stood with his back to him in the moonlight, playing a desolate harmonica song.

After the figure finished playing the last syllable, it slowly turned around, revealing a face covered with gray scales, the wrinkles on the face did not show the slightest old age, and the golden eyes were a blood-like color.

"Fortunately, young man of S," the old man put his harmonica into his breast pocket, "the old man's name is ...... Beowulf. ”
