Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Austria, home of the Gottingen family, retreat room.

Light flashed and Lu Mingfei appeared out of thin air.

Returning to his own world, Lu Mingfei immediately checked the power left in his body given to him by Master Ancient One.

As expected, the powers he saved were also suppressed in his own world, and were far less powerful than in Tony's world.

Fortunately, Master Gu Yi is indeed powerful. The power she gave to Lu Mingfei is still considerable even after experiencing a battle and being weakened due to different worlds.

Pushing the door open and walking out of the retreat room, Lu Mingfei covered his eyes facing the rising sun - in Tony's world, he came back at night, and now he suddenly saw the sun, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Because he had been reminded before that there were many alchemy matrices in the Gaotinggen family's territory, and as a guest he could not move around at will to avoid danger, so Lu Mingfei dialed the number left for him by the housekeeper.

"Is this Mr. Lu Mingfei? Please wait a moment, I'll be right back." The housekeeper said immediately on the phone.

After a while, the housekeeper drove over in a small electric car, invited Lu Mingfei to get on the car, and then asked: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, have you finished your retreat?"

Lu Mingfei nodded: "Well, because it went smoothly, it was done quickly."

"The lady said that after you come out of the retreat room, if you have nothing else to do, let me take you to see her immediately," the housekeeper said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Exactly, please take me there."

Although I don’t know why the eldest daughter of the Gaotinggen family seems to be in a hurry to see him, Lu Mingfei happened to be asking for leave from her and flew to the United States to find Old Tang to verify his identity, so he just happened to ask the housekeeper to take him there. Meet Charlotte.

The electric car shuttled through the manor for a while and drove to a building that Lu Mingfei was familiar with - a small black building covered with ivy, hidden in the morning light and shadow of the trees, as quiet as an oil painting.

Lu Mingfei still remembered that he took classes in this building and learned the "Way of the Fire Sword" there.

"The lady just said she wanted to see you, so I won't interrupt you." The old housekeeper opened the car door for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei thanked him and walked towards the small building alone.

Because of the angle, he could only see part of the scenery in the small building. After getting closer, he saw Charlotte sitting at the desk - she was staring attentively at a book about as thick as the Xinhua Dictionary. .

Lu Mingfei pushed the door and walked in, looking at Charlotte. With his eyesight, he could clearly see Charlotte's side face even from some distance away. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the girl was yesterday. The still bright and lovely face seemed a little more haggard, and the circles under his eyes seemed slightly darkened.

She seemed to be reading very seriously, and she didn't even notice Lu Mingfei coming into the room and walking towards her.

Lu Mingfei walked up to her and waited for a while. Charlotte was still looking down at her book, paying no attention to what he meant.

Lu Mingfei had no choice but to take the initiative: "Miss Charlotte?"

Charlotte jumped up from the chair and knocked her knees heavily on the edge of the table: "Ah!"

She obviously hit her knee, but Charlotte's first reaction was to cover her mouth and look at Lu Mingfei with tears in her eyes.

Lu Mingfei was confused by her.

The reason for Charlotte's behavior was also very simple - she accidentally bit her tongue while knocking on the edge of the table.

After five or six seconds, Charlotte put down the hand covering her mouth, raised both sides of her skirt with her hands covered with white lace gloves, slightly bent her knees, and gave Lu Mingfei a classic aristocratic salute: "Good morning, Lu Mingfei." Not sir."

If you ignore the tears in the corners of her eyes, she is indeed an elegant and noble lady.

"Good morning, Miss Charlotte." Although Lu Mingfei had met many so-called aristocrats in Tony's world, they had all adapted to modern etiquette, so he really didn't know much about the etiquette of medieval aristocrats. He had no choice but to nod.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Charlotte motioned for Lu Mingfei to sit down, trying her best to maintain a calm and elegant demeanor.

Once she focuses on something, she hardly pays attention to changes in the outside world, nor does she think about other things, in exchange for super high learning efficiency. Therefore, she was unprepared for Lu Mingfei's appearance just now, and she only reacted now He seemed to have told the housekeeper to bring Lu Mingfei immediately after he finished his retreat.

As for why she rushed to ask the housekeeper to bring Lu Mingfei...

"Mr. Lu Mingfei, have you finished the retreat?" Charlotte and Lu Mingfei sat down together, facing him across the table, and asked somewhat eagerly.

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"How's it going? How many sources do you think you understand?" Charlotte asked immediately.

This was the reason why she rushed to find Lu Mingfei - she really wanted to know. As the day and night passed, Lu Mingfei understood a few more essences.

According to the concept of the "Path of the Fire Sword", all humans and hybrids are born in the lowest "kingdom" of sefirot, and Lu Mingfei understood two more sefirot before retreating, which means that before he retreated, he Just understand the three sefirot.

Although the Essence of the Path of Fire Sword became more difficult to understand as time went by, she had seen Lu Mingfei's monster-like talent with her own eyes. She estimated that Lu Mingfei should be able to understand one or two more Essences in a day and a night.

This speed simply broke Charlotte's cognition, and she suddenly began to doubt whether she was the genius her grandfather said she was - her grandfather had said since she was a child that she had the best alchemy talent among the family's recent generations.

So since she sent Lu Mingfei to retreat, she immediately devoted herself to the study of alchemy, and even slept for only four hours.

"Essence..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Uh... I should have understood the seven essences."

"Seven sefirot? As expected of Mr. Lu Mingfei, he is truly worthy of the talent of an S-class bloodline..." Charlotte was halfway through her words when she suddenly reacted and jumped up from the chair, "How many?!"

After saying this, she reached out and covered her mouth again - damn, she bit her tongue again!

"Seven sefirot," Lu Mingfei looked up at Charlotte who jumped up again for some reason, "Is there any problem?"

"No...impossible..." Charlotte shook her head blankly and whispered, as if she was denying Lu Mingfei's words, but also seemed to be comforting herself.

"What's impossible?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

"Seven sources...one day..." Charlotte quietly put her hands behind her back and pinched her soft flesh hard. Then she came back to her senses and turned to look at Lu Mingfei with complicated eyes.

Seven sefirot in one day, let alone the records of the Gaotingen family, or even the records of the entire mixed race society, there is no such bizarre situation.

Generally speaking, in addition to the Kingdom Sefirot, hybrids who understand one Sefirot are eligible to learn alchemy, but they are only assigned to real alchemists as assistants, who understand two Sefirot and possess a certain level of alchemy. With knowledge and skills, you can become an alchemist in a broad sense, but you can only be considered as having just stepped into the door of alchemy.

As the source of understanding increases and the knowledge and skills of alchemy mastered become higher and higher, hybrids will be able to go further on the road of alchemists.

Generally speaking, it is human nature to rank people and things according to their seniority, but there is no clear distinction between alchemists. Because alchemists have a distinguished status, non-alchemist organizations are not qualified to set levels for alchemists. The organizations formed by the alchemists themselves are diverse. Even if there are occasionally amazingly talented individual alchemists born, no alchemist organization has ever been able to occupy an absolute dominant position, so no one has set the level of alchemists.

But in the mixed-race world, there is still a collective name for the powerful alchemists who stand at the top of the alchemy field - Master.

This word translated into Chinese means "master" or "grand master", and one of the prerequisites for becoming a master is to understand the seven sefirot.

It took Charlotte ten years to reach this point, and it took her grandfather thirty years. By comparison, she was already an undoubted genius.

But compared with Lu Mingfei, Charlotte became a little doubtful about life.

She heard her grandpa say that although there are many S-level members in the secret party, it is actually very rare for people who can truly reach S-level by blood. None of the school directors have reached S-level by blood. They all have S level because of their noble status. Super level, the power of a true S-level bloodline is beyond the imagination of ordinary hybrids.

When she met Lu Mingfei, she had already overestimated the S-level talent as much as possible, but found that she still lacked imagination - seven source materials a day, how could this be an S-level, this was clearly an ancient dragon!

No! I do not believe! Even S-class people can't be so perverted!

Charlotte's eyes suddenly became firm.

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to get the Crystal Tree." Charlotte hurriedly said a word, turned around and trotted out, still limping a little - her knee accidentally hit the edge of the table before, although the mixed race His physical fitness is extremely strong, but the edge of the table is treated with alchemy and is harder than metal.

Lu Mingfei was confused when he saw the originally elegant and calm noble lady suddenly running out in a hurry.

A moment later, Charlotte walked in holding an upside-down transparent glass tree.

Lu Mingfei had an impression of this. Charlotte had used it to test her understanding of several sefirot before.

"Here, take a test!" Charlotte handed the crystal tree to Lu Mingfei without any explanation, staring at Lu Mingfei with her big beautiful eyes.

Lu Mingfei took the crystal tree and concentrated as before.

The golden light rose from the crystal tree and expanded like a sea wave in an instant, occupying two-thirds of the entire tree. The light was so strong that it even cast highlights and highlights on his and Charlotte's faces. shadow.

The upper third of the Crystal Tree is decoration, and its testing function is only the lower two thirds. The current state means that Lu Mingfei has reached its testing limit.

Charlotte was silent for a few seconds, then took off the white lace glove on her right hand, stretched out an index finger, found a sharper branch on the crystal tree, and pressed it hard.

"Hiss—" Charlotte quickly withdrew her finger, looked down at the blood seeping from her fingertips, felt the dull pain in her fingertips, and murmured to herself: "This is not a dream..."

"Miss Charlotte, are you okay?" Considering that he had to study with Charlotte, Lu Mingfei quickly spoke with concern, and at the same time wanted to put down the crystal tree.

But before he could move, the Crystal Tree made a crisp sound.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the Crystal Tree made crisp noises one after another, and countless fine cracks emerged with the crisp noises.

Lu Mingfei and Charlotte just stared blankly as the crystal tree was covered with cracks for a few seconds, then shattered and fell to the ground with a crash, making a series of crisp and sweet sounds.

Lu Mingfei trembled and said subconsciously: "It's not me, I didn't do anything."

But to his surprise, Charlotte did not immediately attack, but looked at his hands holding the crystal tree: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, are your hands injured?"

Lu Mingfei shook off the fragments of the Crystal Tree in his hand and shook his head: "I'm fine."

Charlotte stared at Lu Mingfei's hand for a long time and found that there was indeed no wound. Then she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine."

"This crystal tree..." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay," Charlotte smiled slightly, "It's just a prop used to test the way of the fire sword. Although it is expensive, it will be broken if it is broken. It is most important that Mr. Lu Mingfei, as a guest, is not injured. important."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and couldn't help but sigh. The Gaotinggen family was worthy of being an alchemy family with a history of thousands of years. This magnanimity alone was not comparable to that of other mixed-race families.

…

ten minutes later.

The fragments of the Crystal Tree were still piled in the corner, and Charlotte and Lu Mingfei sat back on the table.

"Mr. Lu Mingfei, are you leaving? Did we fail to provide good hospitality?" Charlotte asked.

"No, it's my problem. I suddenly remembered that I made an agreement with a very important friend and I have to go see him for a few days," Lu Mingfei said, "So Miss Charlotte, I hope to temporarily interrupt the class for a few days. I'll be right back after I finish doing things with that friend."

"So that's it," Charlotte nodded suddenly, "No problem, Mr. Lu Mingfei, you can go do your thing first. It doesn't hurt to come back to study after you're done."

"Sorry for wasting your time." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing," Charlotte shook her head. "Anyway, I've been staying at home to study alchemy. I have nothing to do and nothing to delay. Mr. Lu Mingfei, when are you leaving? I'll ask the butler to take you to the airport."

"The faster, the better." Lu Mingfei said.

"Okay, I'll arrange a housekeeper right now." Charlotte nodded.

When Lu Mingfei left with the housekeeper, Charlotte, who had been sitting calmly at the table, stood up tremblingly and walked to a pile of debris in the corner. Her beautiful little face was filled with the expression of wanting to cry. tears.

"Ugh... This was made by the 22nd generation clan leader. The production method has been lost, and I heard from grandpa that it also contains the Philosopher's Stone. What should I do with it... Will grandpa scold me? Wuwuwu …”

Charlotte squatted on the ground, holding her hair in her hands.

…

America, a slum area in Brooklyn, in front of Old Tang’s house.

Old Tang squatted in front of his house, smoking a cigarette out of boredom.

A taxi stopped and Lu Mingfei got out of it.

"Mingfei, you're finally here!" Old Tang's eyes lit up, he put out the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up and hugged Lu Mingfei.

"Go, go, stay away from me, you smell like cigarette smoke!" Lu Mingfei quickly backed away.

"How can a man not light up his cigarette?" Old Tang disagreed.

"Let's go into your room and talk." Lu Mingfei said.

As Old Tang led Lu Mingfei into his home, he wondered: "Mingfei, why do you have time to come and play with me? Isn't the university just starting now?"

Entering Old Tang's house, Lu Mingfei endured the smell of cigarette smoke and approached Old Tang. He subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Old Tang, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Don't worry, I'm a hunter, I won't be afraid." Old Tang said.
