Chapter 275: Suppress the Senate!
Chapter 276: Suppress the Senate!
In the room made of rock and mythril, the patriarchs are dressed in solemn black, but they are as noisy as the aunts and uncles in the vegetable market.
The good news is that although the patriarchs quarreled, they at least retained basic etiquette, at least they did not swear at each other.
Lu Mingfei expressed his understanding of this chaotic scene, the roots of the secret party were more than two thousand years ago in the classical era, when the Beowulf family had just been born, and for a long time, the meeting of the elders of the secret party was to drink honey wine while rolling up their sleeves and smashing the horn cup on each other's faces.
From this point of view, these people are still improving, at least they will not do it at the meeting.
Of course, not all the senators joined the meeting, which bordered on a quarrel.
Beowulf sat upright on a stone chair, his hands on the armrests, his eyelids drooping, his blood-colored golden pupils converging, like a sleepy old man drowsy under the grape trellis in the afternoon.
Elizabeth's stone chair was a little too wide for a slender woman, so instead of putting her hands on the armrests, she sat on her knees, her hands folded on her knees, her narrow eyes sweeping over the crowd, her eyelashes curled lazily.
Charlotte is the most standard aristocratic woman sitting, meticulous in her movements and hairstyle, but she never speaks.
In addition to these three, the old man in a suit and holding Buddhist beads that Lu Mingfei had seen in the pizza shop before was also there, and he only said a word or two occasionally, but his words were sharp and he didn't give an inch.
In addition, there was an old man sitting on a stone chair embroidered with a phoenix on his back, which made Lu Mingfei a little concerned.
He looked about the same age as the old man holding the beads, the kind of age that would not be a pity to be put in a coffin and buried on the spot one day without taking a breath, the difference being that even when he was sitting, he was holding a cane.
Lu Mingfei knew this old man, Frost Gattuso, the acting head of the Gattuso family, the de facto ruler, the largest financier and trustee of the Kassel Academy, and Caesar's uncle.
Knowing Frost is not because Lu Mingfei is interested in the power structure of the secret party and the academy, but yesterday Caesar specially mentioned his own uncle to him, and specifically told him that if he met his uncle at the senate meeting, and his uncle spoke disrespectfully, then Lu Mingfei didn't care about his Caesar's face at all, and he could humiliate Frost fiercely.
Looking at the eager look of anticipation on Caesar's face, Lu Mingfei had to sigh at the sinister interpersonal relationships in the big family.
Frost sat upright on a stone chair, elbows pressed against the table, his white-gloved hands crossed with his fingers crossed, and he didn't say a word.
Lu Mingfei is a little strange, Frost seems to be a little inconsistent with Caesar's image of "arrogant and hateful, no one in sight".
Compared with the quarrel of the patriarchs, Lu Mingfei was more interested in the stone table in front of him, the stone table was directly dug out of a large pit in the rock ground and then decorated with the remaining parts on the spot, from the beginning of the construction of this "eternal Lateran" stood here with the stone chair, it is considered an antique of more than 2,000 years, the edge has become extremely rounded under the wear and tear of time and a dimensional elder, and the surface marks are mottled.
Lu Mingfei stroked it casually on the stone table, and the alchemy matrix carved on the stone table echoed the traces between him.
The craftsmen who built this church must have been a master of alchemy, and the constant alchemy matrix of the entire Lateran Cathedral will eventually be gathered into stone tables and stone chairs, which in a way are the control center of the alchemy matrix of this church, and a living spirit sleeps in the core of the alchemy matrix of the stone table.
Perhaps because of the lack of authority, as Lu Mingfei's fingertips stroked, the living spirit in the core of the stone table alchemy matrix began to wake up, and sent a low roar of spiritual level towards Lu Mingfei.
Charlotte's beautiful eyes opened slightly, Beowulf's brow moved, Ange's beard trembled, and the three of them looked at Lu Mingfei almost at the same time - they felt the awakening of the living spirit in the stone table.
Having just awakened, the "roar" of the living spirit has not yet been noticed by anyone except Charlotte, Beowulf, and Ange, but if it is allowed to swell, it will soon be noticed by all the senators.
Lu Mingfei's other hand stroked the inscription on the Seven Deadly Sins, a glimmer of light flowing, and he used himself as a medium to build a temporary "bridge" between the living souls in the Seven Deadly Sins and the living souls in the stone table.
The seven-headed living spirits almost rushed into the stone table, and the living spirits that had just begun to roar in the stone table were surrounded by clusters, and the roar that seemed to be about to shake the world in the spirit world suddenly turned into a low whimper.
It is just a living soul of three generations of dragons, and after cocooning, the egg was found by the secret party at that time and made into a living spirit of the constant alchemy matrix in the Lateran Cathedral, and at this moment it was surrounded by seven living spirits of the second generation level, almost shrunk into a ball.
Silently, the inscriptions on the Seven Deadly Sins are connected to the Alchemy Matrix in this hall - or rather, the Seven Deadly Sins have temporarily seized control of the Alchemy Matrix.
Charlotte stared at Lu Mingfei with wide eyes, and Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at her, and quietly raised an index finger in front of his mouth.
Charlotte hesitated and nodded slightly.
Ange glared at Lu Mingfei several times, Lu Mingfei looked away, didn't look at Ange, and pretended that he couldn't see.
"Okay, let's be quiet, the elder of the secret party, what does it look like now?" Frost, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and the wooden cane collided with the stone floor, making a hollow "bangbang" sound.
In the Senate, there were three people who were the most authoritative - Angers, Beowulf, and Frost.
The first two are legendary dragon slayers, and the family behind the latter is now the most powerful family in the secret party.
Ange and Beowulf were silent, and as soon as Frost spoke, the senators gradually fell silent—the Gattuso family was not very popular with the Secret Party, but no one could deny their wealth and power, as well as the massive investment they had invested in dragon slaying over the years.
"Rather than arguing about the attribution of the seven deadly sins, let's come up with a plan one by one and let everyone vote on it," Frost began, "How?" ”
The patriarchs hesitated for a moment and nodded their heads one after another, although a few were reluctant but could not resist the majority.
"Let's go first," Frost interrupted everyone, and naturally he was the first to come up with a plan, "After the academy's report, the seven deadly sins were discovered and taken out by Lu Mingfei, an S-class freshman, from the Nibelungen 'White Emperor City', the king of bronze and fire. According to the rules of the secret party since ancient times, even in the school operation, the commissioner who plays a decisive role in the acquisition of a certain valuable item has the right of priority to distribute the item to which he belongs. ”
"Commissioner Lu Mingfei single-handedly discovered and brought out the seven deadly sins in the White Emperor City, which naturally meets the criteria of 'decisive role', and according to convention, his family should have the ownership of at least one or two of the seven deadly sins," Frost's gaze swept over everyone, "You have no opinion, right?" ”
The patriarchs nodded unevenly, looking at Frost suspiciously—the people of the Gattuso family, who had never given an inch in terms of interests, suddenly began to help others and speak for others?
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - what kind of medicine is Frost selling? In the mouth of neither Caesar nor the headmaster, he was not such a reasonable person.
"However," Frost said, "Lu Mingfei does not have a family, although his great-grandfather Lu Shanyan used to be a high-ranking member of the Lionheart Society in the Secret Party, but he did not leave a family, and his direct descendants did not remain in the Secret Party after his death. Although a descendant of Lu Shan Yan, Lu Lincheng, entered the Kassel Academy as a member of the secret party a few decades ago, information has been scarce over the years, and even we, the school directors, don't know what he has done, lack of contribution, and cannot be regarded as one of the secret party families. ”
Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Therefore, I propose that the Lumingfei family's authority to retain one weapon be transferred to the Kassel Academy," Frost said, "and considering that the Kassel Academy, with Mentors Ange and Flamel, has a complete security system that allows the Kassel Academy to keep two or even three of the Seven Deadly Sins. ”
At this time, the other patriarchs reacted - Frost wanted to let the Kassel Academy obtain as many seven deadly sins as possible through Lu Mingfei, and the Gattuso family, as the largest director of the Kassel Academy, must have received the most benefits in the end.
"I'm against it! Without the power of the family, it should be abolished, how can there be any reason to transfer it to the Kassel Academy? What kind of family is the Kassel Academy! Some of the elders immediately objected.
"That's right, at most, the Kassel Academy will keep a handle of the Seven Deadly Sins for research, how can anyone put nearly half of the Seven Deadly Sins in the Kassel Academy."
Elizabeth's eyes wandered and she spoke: "I agree, taking out the Seven Deadly Sins from the White Emperor City is completely the handiwork of the Kassel Academy, and there is no other family to contribute, and the Kassel Academy should get more distribution rights." ”
"Ridiculous! The Secret Party is the backing of the Kassel Academy, without the Secret Party, can the Kassel Academy develop to its current scale? What the Kassel Academy gets will be handed over to the academy for distribution, so is the academy a secret party, or is the secret party an academy? The middle-aged elder who was uncomfortable with Lu Mingfei at the beginning scolded.
"Judging from the data of the last few years, the dragon incidents handled by the academy account for at least seventy-seven percent of all the dragon incidents handled by the secret party." Frost said lightly, "In the remaining twenty-three percent, most of the events that rank among the most difficult are solved by the Beowulf family. ”
"Oh yes, that's not even counting the incidents of some family misreporting, if you squeeze the water dry, this data will be even more ...... for some of you here Sharp, maybe the academy scored four handles. The old man with the rosary mended the knife at the right time.
At this moment, the school directors instantly became angry.
Most of the elders outside the school board of directors were ugly, and only Beowulf still looked absent-minded.
"See, Ming Fei," Ange said in a low voice, "The school board will not be deflated at the senator's meeting, you can just watch it with peace of mind, the senators will not take anything......"
Lu Mingfei did not answer.
Ange suddenly had an ominous premonition, looked up at Lu Mingfei, and happened to see the Seven Deadly Sins standing beside Lu Mingfei, and the inscriptions on the surface lit up layer by layer from high to low, spreading like vines.
"Everyone," Lu Mingfei said loudly, with a smile on his face, his voice was not too loud, but it echoed throughout the hall, "I will also say a few words." ”
"Lu Mingfei, what are you doing!" The senators also noticed the change in the seven deadly sins, and some people immediately shouted, "This is the senator's council, watch your words and deeds." ”
"First, this senatorial meeting is so boring, even more boring than I imagined, and I'm already regretting not bringing a PSP here." Lu Mingfei complained.
"Presumptuous! It's so presumptuous! Ange didn't dare to speak to us with such an attitude," an old man with a square face and a bearded face stood up, his face full of anger, "the elders will discuss the punishment of Ling after the meeting, and now you go out and wait for the punishment at once." ”
Beowulf glanced at the old man, and his tone was inexplicable: "Gao Lang, give the young man more opportunities to speak, the Senate has not been so angry for a long time." ”
The old man named Gao Lang glanced at Beowulf in disbelief, wondering why the dragon-blooded man who had beaten him to the ground with a single word of his subordinates had suddenly become enlightened and kind.
"Second," Lu Mingfei condescended, his gaze swept over the face of each patriarch and the family emblem on his chest, "Elder Frost just said that only the family has the right to have the reservation of the seven deadly sins, so good, I declare that I, Lu Mingfei, will establish the Lu family in the secret party and exist as an independent family!" I'm a family! ”
"Junior, this is not the place for you to be presumptuous!" The middle-aged patriarch who had been scolded by Lu Mingfei got up and glared at Lu Mingfei angrily, "Get out of here, wait for the patriarch to fall!" ”
Ange's gaze changed slightly, and he was about to speak, only to feel a momentum that made his hairs stand on end like some kind of evil dragon rising from his side.
"Hah!" Lu Mingfei showed a wild smile with incomprehensible meaning, raised his palm, and slapped it heavily on the Seven Deadly Sins!
The sword box standing on the ground trembled violently, and this set of ultimate weapons cast by the King of Bronze and Fire seemed to suddenly come to life, as if there was a heart beating in the box, and there was not only one, but seven hearts, seven living spirits, and seven swords revived at the same time.
The sword box opened to both sides like a fan, revealing seven hideous swords, the swords vibrated in the box, and seven magnificent swords rang up at the same time, some like a bell, some like a drum, some like a halberd forest sword cluster and sounded, and some like a thousand miles of rivers roaring on the mountain rock cliff.
The alchemy matrix in the main hall was swept by the seven deadly sins, spreading the sound in every direction, as if these sounds sounded from the ground, from the dome, from the walls in all directions, from the ubiquitous air, a battlefield where ancient soldiers fought and drank blood rose from the seven deadly sins, and filled the entire hall with an invincible and resolute attitude.
The largest instrument in the world is the organ, which often coexists with churches or concert halls, and thousands of metal pipes need at least one wall to carry them, and after the Seven Deadly Sins conquered the alchemy realm of the main hall, each wall became its voice pipe.
The Seven Deadly Sins are not just a set of weapons, but also a set of musical instruments, a set of the most tyrannical and arrogant instruments in the world, and only the peerless tyrant is qualified to play them, and everyone who hears them will kneel to the grace of the thunderous king.
The strange power spread from the Seven Deadly Sins, this is not the alchemy realm, because none of the seven swords are out of the box, at best, it can only be regarded as the spiritual realm released by the living soul.
Lu Mingfei vigorously slapped the Seven Deadly Sins, and the magnificent sound became more and more grand, and the elders could only feel that there were strong forces squeezing towards them in all directions, as if they were suddenly thrown into deep water, the huge water pressure was everywhere, and the blood seemed to be pouring back into the heart.
The seven swords vibrated and roared to jump out of the long box, but without Lu Mingfei's master pulling it out, they could only keep roaring.
As Lu Mingfei slapped the Seven Deadly Sins, the pressure in the hall became more and more intense, and the figure of the young man standing in the vision of the elders gradually blurred, replaced by a black dragon standing above the wasteland, flames and rusty weapons, the dragon was too big to describe in words, he bowed his head in the clouds, and his golden eyes were the sun.
"Ah——!h The middle-aged patriarch couldn't support it at first, shouted in horror, and fell to his knees towards Lu Mingfei, and as he knelt on the ground, the pressure he was under disappeared.
Another sitting patriarch got up suddenly, his movements were so violent that he seemed to tear himself from his waist into two parts, and after getting up from the stone chair, he also knelt down towards Lu Mingfei.
And then the third, the fourth......
Charlotte, Ange, Elisabeth, Beowulf and the old man with the rosary were "forgiven" in the realm of the seven deadly sins, and they were not under this kind of pressure that could drive people crazy, but they could still feel that they were in a grand "realm", and a sense of oppression came over them.
The three old men were real dragon slayers, and this sense of oppression did not affect them much, and they looked at Lu Mingfei in disbelief mainly in amazement at his bloodline and actions, while Charlotte and Elizabeth were really pale in the oppression of the seven deadly sins, and their hands and feet were cold.
When Lu Mingfei slapped on the Seven Deadly Sins for the nineteenth time, the roar of metal had turned into a dragon chant superimposed on each other, except for the five people who were "pardoned", only two elders still held on and did not kneel, their foreheads were bruised, and their necks were bloody.
One was Frost, and the other was a veteran who stood up and scolded Lu Mingfei, whom Beowulf called "Gao Lang".
"Lu Mingfei, you deceive people too much!" Gao Lang roared and jumped onto the round table and rushed towards Lu Mingfei, in the course of this moment, scales faintly appeared on his body, and his body was dyed with a bronze color.
The refinement of his bloodline, coupled with the Spirit of Words and Bronze Throne, allowed him to temporarily break through the suppression of the realm and have the qualifications to rush towards Lu Mingfei.
He didn't have the resistance of the Beowulf clan to dragon blood, and his mental stability was not comparable to that of the Seven Elemental Qualities, so blood refining had certain side effects for him, but he couldn't bear this humiliation anymore, and would rather pay the price than kill Lu Mingfei.
Gao Lang leaped high above the round table, his bronze body like a thrown spear, falling towards Lu Mingfei with unrivaled momentum, he had strangled four generations of a human body with the bronze throne, tore its throat open, and bathed in the scorching dragon's blood.
Several elders who were forced to kneel on the ground also raised their heads one after another, and invariably used the family blood refining technique, and the power flowed in their bodies like magma, and the pressure brought by the Seven Deadly Sins could no longer become a shackle, and they wanted to follow Gao Lang to kill Lu Mingfei and restore the majesty of the patriarch.
Lu Mingfei held the "rage", this sword with a living soul opened his eyes at the end of the handle feverishly, and a ball of indefinite frenzied knife light burst out from the box, Lu Mingfei waved it with his hand, and the rage was like the claws of a giant dragon stretched out, and the volley slapped on Gao Lang's body.
The moment the fury came into contact with Gao Lang, the dust suspended in the faint light seemed to be still for a moment, and then Gao Lang flew upside down like a hit baseball, smashing into the walls of the main hall, spreading several small cracks.
The furious unsheath suddenly increased the pressure several times over, and Frost fell to his knees.
Several elders who raised their heads to refine their bloodlines looked at the frantic sword light in Lu Mingfei's hand, and silently lowered their heads, and the dragon blood surging in their veins was quiet again.
Lu Mingfei looked down at the kneeling elders, casually inserted his anger on the ground, stretched out his hand to hold down the seven deadly sins of Zheng Ming, the sound of the dragon's groan stopped, and the hall turned quiet in an instant.
Ange, Beowulf and the old man with the rosary looked at Lu Mingfei at the same time, their faces full of pain.
Although they were not unforeseen of the fierceness of young people, they really didn't expect Lu Mingfei to be so strong.
Elizabeth touched her chest with her hands, Charlotte was weak, and sat on the stone chair, looking at Lu Mingfei who caressed the seven deadly sins in a daze, overlooking the patriarchs.
After the dragon chant disappeared, only Lu Mingfei's plain voice was left in the main hall.
"Now, do anyone else have an opinion?"
……
Lateran Cathedral is a few kilometers away.
"It's amazing, is this the power of the seven deadly sins? It's still heart-wrenching to be so far away," the young man stood beside the old man, his golden eyes flashing, "No wonder Norton is the monarch who is most like that majesty, not only in character, but also in strength......"
"Get ready, it's time." The old man said softly.
In the distance, several cruise missiles loaded with ground-penetrating warheads flew by, targeting the cathedral standing in the middle of the trees.
