Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

Chapter 290 285. Zero: Your little wife

In fact, it’s already very cold in Tokyo in November. This year has been relatively warm, probably because the city has been affected by too many turbulent elements, and even the cold air has been rejected.

Half a century ago in 1962, the first snow even fell in Tokyo at this time.

Kodaiji Temple, not far from Yasaka Shrine, opens special nighttime visits every autumn. Kodaiji Temple is a temple built to worship Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife. Compared with the bustling Kiyomizudera Temple, Kodaiji Temple is much quieter.

The maple leaves shrouded in the night, against the backdrop of the courtyard lights, are quiet, distant, and beautiful.

The breeze blew slowly, and the red maples swayed. Lu Mingfei walked quickly through the path covered with fallen leaves, and several bunches of extremely red maple branches poked out from the courtyard. In his hands, he was carrying ingredients such as wagyu beef, daikon radish, and shiitake mushrooms, all of which could be used to make oden.

Her Royal Highness originally made an appointment with him to go out for dinner tonight, but the night was long and she had many dreams. Mai Shutoku suggested that she should help Eri use the golden holy liquid as soon as possible.

Eriki's physical problems are closely related to the golden holy liquid. It is difficult to guarantee whether someone in their team is a monitor secretly sent by the school board or the elders.

Kassel Academy can allow aliens like Lu Mingfei to exist because his bloodline is stable and he will almost never degenerate into a monster in the abyss, regardless of alchemy or science. But Eri is different. Her stability relies on the serum extracted from Deadpool's fetus, which is an inferior version of the golden holy serum.

The academy will not and cannot train a group of dead warriors for her. This is a serious violation of the Abrahamic blood contract.

What's more, the school board probably only thinks that Eri is a huge threat. Even if she is injected with serum for a long time, there is no guarantee that she will not go into a state of rage. An out-of-control hybrid that possesses the power of word spirit judgment and whose bloodline advantage is so powerful that it can even completely ignore the word spirit commandments is a disaster for the academy. It is even more unrealistic to allow this time bomb to move freely outside. Without restraint, it can destroy an international metropolis in just 24 hours.

The golden holy liquid is a precious holy medicine that is enough to make the old guys in the academy become greedy. The activity of the second-generation cocoon obtained from the Cassel family has been reduced to almost zero in the care of the academy. The expert team is not sure whether it can still be hatched, and the Golden Holy Serum Project is indefinitely Shelved.

The special substance extracted from Norton's Dragon Bone Cross must be combined with the alchemical matrix drawn by the Night Watch to be effective. There is no doubt that the vice-principal is an old dog without moral integrity, but he will never ask anyone at the same time on this matter. The old guy compromises. There would be no big shot who would want to risk the consequences of offending Tutor Flamel and Principal Angers by threatening this fat bloodhound.

The golden holy liquid extracted from the bodies of pure-blood dragons is not only a holy medicine that promotes evolution for hybrids, but also a precious treasure that can rejuvenate them. With this holy medicine, can an old and decaying old man survive? He regained his vitality and returned to his youthful state in a short period of time.

In the courtyard not far away, the red maples and ginkgo trees, which are much taller than the courtyard walls, look even deeper in the dim night, and the chirping of birds echoes deep in the branches. The harsh winter is coming soon, and flocks of migratory birds are preparing to migrate to warmer places to spend the next severe cold. Now they are making final preparations before migrating.

After passing through Kaotai Temple and walking along a short path full of red maples, you can see a marble building hidden deep in the trees in the city. Although luxurious, it is quite incompatible with the nearby environment and exudes some inexplicable charm. Energetic.

The name of the marble building is "Tamamo-mae", but it has nothing to do with the Tamamo-mae Club where the Inuyama family entertains distinguished guests and gathers clan members. It is a property acquired in Tokyo in the name of the Romanov family. It used to be a very stylish high-end club. Princesses from all over Tokyo would gather here to show off their figures in certain seasons, and it was managed by the industry. Professionals select the so-called oiran.

Now Tamamo-mae is a high-end hot spring club that only serves those true aristocrats. The guests who come here are usually the daughters of the Imperial family, the daughters of multinational companies, or the bosses of some well-established companies.

There are not many superfluous decorations around the marble building, which looks luxurious but quite low-key. Silent Russian girls line up on both sides of the door. Each of them is beautiful and eye-catching. Young men passing by will always be unconscious. Glancing at these exotic girls with proud figures.

Today, Tamamo-mae closed its doors and refused visitors, including the governor of Tokyo, just to help Lu Mingfei clear the necessary space.

When passing by those Russian girls, Lu Mingfei felt a sharp and solemn killing intent. It was not directed at him, but the aura naturally cultivated by a battlefield-experienced killer.

Zero said that Tamamo-mae was bought by the boss as a vacation place, so the security measures here must be strong enough to even withstand the offensive of the Self-Defense Forces for a period of time. The beautiful girls usually do not appear at the door. Their job is to protect the safety of the VIPs. When necessary, they can quickly arm themselves and turn themselves into hunters who can kill wild beasts.

In other words, the silent girls around but with sweet smiles on their faces are each one of the elite mercenaries. In one-on-one situations, the school janitors of the college are not necessarily their opponents.

All the nursing staff at Kassel College are actually retired members of the most elite special forces forces in the United States.

After coming out of the elevator, there is a long corridor with white columns. There are red gauze curtains between the columns. The wind pours in from the open windows on both sides, lifting the twists and turns of those graceful girls. The curtain moves the waist.

Lu Mingfei yawned and walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open an oak door. Behind this door was the manager's office, but usually no one worked here. Today, the Russian girls cleaned it out. , Rei and Shutoku Mai led Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi to temporarily settle here.

"Eri and I are playing outside and won't be back tonight. Junior sisters, you don't have to wait for me if you go out to eat." Lu Mingfei was typing a text message to Xia Mi on his mobile phone, opposite a huge toon wood desk. Sitting down on the sofa, the ingredients have been carried away by the tall butler. Later, they will appear in front of Lu Mingfei as oden.

Ling sat on the huge toon wood desk, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at the night view of Tokyo motionlessly.

Their top-floor office is more than ten meters above the ground, just above the tops of the brilliantly colored maple and ginkgo pines.

"I was on the run in Siberia for a while. Someone carried me to the top of those mountains. At a glance, I was surrounded by Siberian red pine and white birch trees." Zero said slowly, and the lights of the city flowed like a river. On her cheeks, there was no trace of memories in those beautiful and indifferent pupils like ice flowers, but every word she said was recalling someone or something.

"Sometimes when those forests are rippling, I wonder if the south is very warm, and the big trees are the same color all year round."

"Senior brother, please settle down and handle the matter well. Don't worry about me and senior sister. We are going to eat roasted birds in the evening. If you want to come back, let me know in advance and I will bring you a midnight snack. I love you, little junior sister." Xia Mi replied, also After adding a cute cat expression, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Both Xia Mi and Nono knew what Lu Mingfei was going to do when he left with Eli Yi. The little mute's bloodline situation had deteriorated to the point where it had to be dealt with.

He looked up at Ling and scratched his hair, "Is it Lu Mingze?" he asked.

Whether it was Sister Mai, Her Royal Highness, or the slightly mysterious potato chip girl, Lu Mingfei never talked to them about the so-called "boss" behind them.

In fact, Lu Mingfei could guess with his toes that the kind of guy who was a bitch but also liked stylish things must be Lu Mingze.

Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei indifferently, his plain white face cold, as if Lu Mingfei had asked some private and rather embarrassing question. Lu Mingfei touched his nose and thought that everything was fine with Ling, but his mood became unpredictable for some reason.

There was a slight knock on the door, and a slender female secretary walked in. She was obviously Russian, probably an employee of the Romanov family, and her long pale golden hair was neatly combed against her scalp. , tied into a bun on the top of the head.

Lu Mingfei and Ling both looked at her. The girl behaved lightly and gracefully like a princess from the Romanov dynasty, but the real princess was sitting opposite Lu Mingfei.

She placed the wooden tray on the desk between Lu Mingfei and Ling, "Miss, the red wine you asked for." The girl said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Well." Zero looked at Tokyo in the distance again, "You go out first... Let your people be responsible for the security of Tamamo-mae tonight, and don't let anyone disturb us."

"Does this mean that my companions and I have the authority to use lethal force?" the Russian girl asked with a smile.

Zero nodded.

She then tipped the tray upside down on her knees and slowly exited the room.

With another slight knock on the door, Zero finally looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes. Her expression was indifferent, but President Lu could clearly feel a strange emotion brewing.

Like...

Jealous?

"The one just now is a core member of the international bounty hunter organization 'Arctic Fox'. She is very skilled and has received the most rigorous and professional training in the world. She can hunt wild beasts with her bare hands, and she can also skillfully use almost all kinds of weapons." Any weapon you can think of." Zero said, her voice calm, as if she was explaining the instructions for using a remote control. Lu Mingfei nodded to show that he understood.

"Have a glass of wine. We can go see how your little wife is getting ready." Ling stood up slightly, picked up the dark green wine bottle, and poured rose red wine into two crystal glass tulip cups.

Lu Mingfei leaned back tactically, with a shocked expression on his face, but his thoughts were running wildly in his mind. He didn't know what Her Royal Highness meant.

Zero said nothing and raised his glass to Lu Mingfei.

The simplest way to use the golden holy liquid is to drink it directly or apply it on the surface of the body. However, whether it is taken internally or externally, the absorption capacity of the human body is actually quite limited. The original dragon-slaying hero Siegfried bathed in dragon blood. Although he was allowed to He has gained strength that far exceeds that of ordinary hybrids, but it is still far from what he expected.

Lu Mingfei's droopy eyebrows raised, then his head dropped like a dropped cucumber. He stood up, took the glass of wine, and sat in the chair opposite Ling.

"Bordeaux red wine, some people say it is the undisputed queen of red wines." Zero said, "One person said that drinking this wine reminds me of Simone de Beauvoir."

Simone de Beauvoir received a degree in philosophy from the University of Paris in 1929. She was a French existentialist writer and one of the founders of the feminist movement. During her lifetime, she loved Bordeaux red wine more than her husband. She later died of pulmonary edema. Some people Said she had cirrhosis of the liver due to excessive drinking.

"I remember there was a frost in France this spring. The grape production in Bordeaux was reduced, and the number of wines on the market dropped sharply. Is this wine expensive?" Lu Mingfei blinked, looking for something to talk about. In the spring, he was still with Nono. The college library worked all night long to find the organization called the Far North and the clues Herzog left in history.

Later, when Lu Mingfei invited Caesar and Chu Zihang to prepare to board the nuclear-powered icebreaker, they went to the Oslo branch and passed through Bordeaux, France. Caesar said that he had a friend who was vacationing nearby, and by the way, he buried the A winery.

"It's very expensive on the market, but this is an old wine hidden in the cabinet, 2005 vintage." Ling raised his glass, "Where are you and Xiao Longnu now?"

Lu Mingfei also raised his glass, and as soon as he took a sip, he was shocked by Miss Ling's last sentence, which was neither salty nor bland. He swallowed the wine in his mouth tremblingly, blinked and moved his legs back. Shrunk. At this moment, Lu Mingfei clearly heard a hint of cold anger from Ling's mouth.

"Just...normal steps. As a couple, it's too early for me to get married. We haven't reached the legal age for marriage in China yet." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair, "And our household registration is not registered with my uncle. I don’t have the home either. Although I have a copy, they don’t recognize it..."

Snapped!

Ling raised his head to sip the remaining wine in the glass, leaned forward, put one hand on the table, and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes with wide eyes, a faint blush on his cold white cheeks.

"Mai Shutoku said you guys seemed to have grown up overnight!" Zero's voice became louder.

Lu Mingfei laughed dryly and quickly poured another glass of red wine for the sulky girl. "Hahaha, it's not because we listened to Brother Xiao's speech..." He started to talk nonsense.

Ling was stunned for a moment: "Brother Xiao?"

"Master of Success Learning, it's really your loss not to have listened to his speech."

Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, then slowly sat back in his seat. After a second, he turned back into the cold and indifferent Iceberg Princess.
