Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Chapter 272 Beowulf: Lu Mingfei, right? I'm here to give you a test...

Italy, Portofino, in a pizza shop.

The waitress named Manlin by the old shop owner put a large plate of Four Seasons pizza on the table.

This kind of pizza uses tomato sauce and cheese as the base, is divided into four equal parts, and is sprinkled with four fillings: mushrooms, black olives, artichokes and prosciutto, symbolizing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Season, hence the name "Four Seasons Pizza".

Previously, Lu Mingfei thought that the school board meeting was a bit too casual, and he actually chose a pizza restaurant. Later, he found out that the restaurant was opened by this dragon slayer who had retired from the background, and he seemed to be a quite powerful dragon slayer. By.

His previous judgment about the school board was also a bit misunderstood. He thought that this group of people was as informal as Cassel College, but he didn't expect that they actually... used knives and forks when eating pizza.

Seeing everyone putting the pizza on a silver plate and eating it slowly like cutting a steak, Lu Mingfei did not hesitate to put on the disposable gloves placed in the table box, picked up a corner of the pizza with his hands, and ate it.

Elizabeth, who had the air of a lady and a queen all over her body, couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei, and gave Angers a look next to her - didn't you teach him some etiquette before coming here?

The old man wearing a red sandalwood rosary also looked at Angers and whispered: "S-level students, it's best to put a little effort into learning etiquette."

The old man's voice was soft enough, but Lu Mingfei could still hear it clearly with his five senses, and he couldn't help but curl his lips - why are the mixed-races pretending to be better than the other? You have to use a knife and fork to eat pizza.

In another world, I was not so particular when meeting the Queen of England with Tony.

But it’s understandable for others to pretend like this. Why did the principal also pretend to do it? He had the impression that although Lyonnais sometimes looked like an old gentleman, he was definitely not a very "etiquette" person in private.

"Mingfei," Charlotte nudged Lu Mingfei gently with her elbow and reminded him in a low voice, "it is better to use a knife and fork in this situation."

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, the one-legged old man in the kitchen came out with a cane and looked at Lu Mingfei with a complicated expression: "You are the only one among these guys who knows how to enjoy pizza?"

Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

"I have told them many times that when eating pizza, you should pick it up with your hands and eat it with a big mouthful. This is the best compliment to the chef! As a result, they never put down their knives and forks, as if eating pizza with their hands will damage the nobles' pizza. "The same face," the old man complained, "How do you use your Chinese idioms to describe this? Oh, by the way, arty!"

Angers was a little embarrassed: "Leyton, the school board has important matters to discuss."

"I know, I know, I'm avoiding it," the one-legged old man known as "Leighton" turned around and left on crutches, muttering in a voice that everyone could hear, "If you have something important, you are just afraid that I will damage it. Your face..."

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

Sure enough, as the old shopkeeper said, there was nothing important to discuss at all. As soon as he left, the other members of the school board started chatting about some rambling topics.

Angers chatted with the old man next to him about the collections they had bought from various auctions, including ordinary antiques, alchemy treasures dug out from ancient tombs, and even handicrafts made by modern skilled craftsmen. The scope of the collection Highlight a broad.

However, Lu Mingfei listened carefully. The point of the comparison between the two people was not how precious their collections were, but the "cost-effectiveness" of the collections they bought. That is, for collections of the same level, who would use a lower price? The price paid off.

For example, Angers said that he once bought an item of unknown age that looked like a brass alcohol blowtorch for less than 400,000 U.S. dollars. Later, after being identified by professionals from the equipment department, it was actually from the 19th century. The weapon in the hand of the alchemist depicts a rather advanced alchemical matrix. The fuel is not alcohol, but refined mercury-containing nitroglycerin.

After loading the appropriate 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 a huge amount of mercury vapor. It is a weapon specifically targeted at dragons. , ordinary people can easily kill a piece of Deadpool in their hands, but in the hands of a professional dragon slayer, the fourth generation dragon will suffer a big loss.

The old man arguing with Ange said that he once took a photo of a rusty Ontario cavalry sword that was only half-remaining. Later, he discovered that the sword was a powerful poisonous alchemical weapon. Because it had not been owned for too long, the toxicity corroded the alchemical metal. , although only half of it remains, it still poses a fatal threat to dragons below the third generation.

Lu Mingfei originally had no intention of listening to the two old men bickering, but Charlotte and Elizabeth, who were closer to him, were all talking about girls' topics, such as cosmetics, skin care products, handmade designer bags and clothing and jewelry. class, he was even less interested.

But thinking on the bright side, although there was no topic of interest to him on the long table, at least the pizza was really delicious - adding up all the food he had eaten in the two worlds, this pizza could also be ranked in the top three. It was simply It can be said to be the pinnacle of cooking skills.

In Japan, at least one would have to be named a "Pizza Master". If in Tony's world, he would definitely ask the old shop owner if he wanted to be his personal chef.

But forget it in this world. Dragon slayers have their own pride, and the secret party is not a black-hearted enterprise. Dragon slayers who are permanently disabled and relegated to the second line after fighting bravely will receive generous compensation, even if they are only D-level. The old shop owner must be an A-level hybrid, his pension is astronomical, and he will never be moved by money.

unless……

Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin with the hand that wasn't holding the pizza - if the Extremis virus is perfected and the old shop owner's disability is cured, can he use this condition to get the old shop owner to work for him?

Can... let him make me pineapple pizza?

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

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

"I just asked, what's going on with Chu Zihang and the Lion Heart Club recently?" Caesar said, "I have been on a mission in Brazil last month, and I came to Italy just after the mission. I don't have time to pay attention to the situation in the academy."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Lu Mingfei always feels that since the first day of freedom, the relationship between Caesar and Brother Chu has eased, and the Lion Heart Club and the Student Union are no longer so in conflict with each other. Lu Mingfei feels that this It was caused by the fact that the two people had fought side by side.

"The Lion Heart Club is still the same as before, and there haven't been any competitions 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 right there."

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

"Here we come. The principal said that the elders will bring their entourage when they attend the elders' meeting. We couldn't weaken our momentum, so we called on Senior Brother Chu to help. He is now in the hotel looking after 'that thing' for us." Lu Ming is not the way.

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

Although the Seven Deadly Sins were of great value, Lu Mingfei was quite relieved to leave them 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 just right. Let's go out together tonight, the three of us. It should be your first time coming to Portofino, and I can be your guide."

"Okay," Lu Mingfei nodded, turned to the store and shouted, "Shop owner, can you pack two pizzas later? I will take them back to my friends."

"It's useless," said the most insignificant middle-aged man in sportswear and riding a bicycle, "Uncle Layton never lets anyone pack pizza. He said..."

"Storing it for too long will destroy the perfect taste of the pizza," the old shop owner walked out of the kitchen, "but I can make an exception this time."

"Why?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened and he thought, has the world become so realistic that even the stubborn Uncle Layton would bow to an S-class?

"Because he was the only one who didn't use cutlery to ruin the beauty of the pizza. Pizza should be eaten with your hands! You poor and sophisticated old-school aristocrats!" the old shop owner complained.

Lu Mingfei held his chin with one hand - he no longer expected the mixed race to have normal people besides Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Su.

…

Lu Mingfei and Ange came here for a walk before, so they naturally took a walk when they returned.

The hotel they stayed in was chosen by Norma. It was a glass building facing the bay. From the outside, the glass curtain wall reflected the blue sea and sky, the shadows of coconut trees, and seagulls flying around the clouds. It looked like a peaceful and beautiful picture...

Violent shattering sounds and explosions sounded, and a room in the middle and upper floors of the hotel suddenly sprayed out glass shards and flames. Three dark shadows drew an awkward arc and fell into the bay.

Lu Mingfei and Ange looked at each other.

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

Word Spirit·Time Zero, slows down fifty times within the continuous range of the domain.

The duration of such a powerful word spirit is naturally extremely limited. If it were not for the Seven Deadly Sins, Ange would not waste the limited time of the word spirit on the road. Therefore, he and Lu Mingfei did not say a word nonsense and released the word spirit. In an instant, he rushed towards the hotel. In the eyes of ordinary people on the street, he could only see two figures that suddenly disappeared like ghosts.

…

In the hotel room.

Countless fragments were scattered on the ground, and the floor-to-ceiling windows had been blown open. The sea breeze blew in, and the smell of the ocean mixed with the smell of burning.

Chu Zihang held Murasumi in his hands and faced the broken floor-to-ceiling window, with tiny scales appearing on his face - in order to deal with the intruders immediately and protect the Seven Deadly Sins, he went directly into a violent state.

Of course, another reason is that the enemy's pressure on him is too strong, almost unprecedentedly strong.

The scales on Chu Zihang's face slowly retracted into his body. Almost at the same time that the scales disappeared, the figures of Lu Mingfei and Ang Re appeared at the door. Even people like Chu Zihang couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. ——Refining bloodline is a taboo of the secret party and the academy, and he was almost caught by the principal himself just now.

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

Chu Zihang shook his head and gave a brief report on the situation: "I used Junyan, the enemy was blown away, 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. Jun Yan also covered it just now, but did not leave any traces.

"The seven deadly sins don't matter. Senior brother, are you not injured?" Lu Mingfei asked.

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

Lu Mingfei grabbed Chu Zihang's wrist to check, and tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Is this still called a skin injury? Senior brother, do you have some misunderstanding about the injury? It's almost time to scrape the bones to treat the poison."

Chu Zihang was silent - if he stayed in a violent state for a while longer, his wounds would recover quickly, but this was not worth the gain, and he did not dare to do this in front of Lu Mingfei and the principal.

"Brother, come to the bathroom and I'll help you treat your wound." Lu Mingfei quickly took out the medicine box and led Chu Zihang into the bathroom. He didn't forget to shout, "Principal, I'll leave the aftermath to you!"

Angers took out his cell phone: "Norma, transfer me to the financial director, Professor Mance, and tell him to contact the hotel about compensation and sealing issues. In addition, he will immediately send the nearest executive department commissioner to the bay to check for traces of the enemy. "

Chu Zihang was injured, and Lu Mingfei helped him treat the wound. He had to look after the seven most important sins, and Ange could only hand over the investigation task to the commissioner of the execution department.

I don’t know how Professor Mance contacted, explained and sealed the deal with the hotel. Anyway, ten minutes later, the person in charge of the hotel came over politely and changed rooms for the three of them.

But unfortunately, dozens of minutes later, news came from Norma and Professor Schneider, and the investigating officer found nothing.

It stands to reason that very few creatures can survive or even retain their ability to move after being blown up by Jun Yan. Therefore, according to the speculations of Norma and Professor Schneider, the attackers should have been recovered in advance by the organization behind them.

As for Chu Zihang... Although he had fought with the enemy, according to what he said, the enemy was covered in combat uniforms and black robes, and wore masks, so he couldn't judge.

Of course, this situation was not unexpected by Ange and Lu Mingfei - whether the person who came to rob the Seven Deadly Sins was a certain elder family or an outside force, they would definitely disguise themselves in advance. The elder family was afraid that they would become the target of public criticism after being exposed. Outside forces feared reprisals from the secret party.

However, Lu Mingfei made an unexpected discovery.

Because of Jingtong's presence, he learned a little bit about various categories of knowledge. When he was treating Chu Zihang's wounds, he discovered that the wounds caused by the so-called "sharp weapons" on Chu Zihang's arms were much worse than those caused by swords and the like. The weapon is more like... a claw.

In the fierce battle, the enemy used his claws to launch a sneak attack. Chu Zihang may not be able to react in time what kind of weapon it was. Lu Mingfei's inspection of the wound was able to trace the source better.

However, this kind of information is of little significance. Many powerful families have some taboo powers that are strictly prohibited, including some potions or other methods that allow people to transform into deadpools to gain stronger power - the road to becoming a god is also can cause similar effects.

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

…

At night.

Lu Mingfei was lying in his room without drawing the curtains, and turned to look at the bright moon on the sea outside.

He sent the Seven Deadly Sins to the principal's room - there may not be only one wave of attackers targeting the Seven Deadly Sins. It would be okay if 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 principal that he would take care of the Seven Deadly Sins during the day, and the principal would come at night.

The desolate sound of the harmonica sounded from outside. It was obviously not loud, but in my ears, it felt like it was overwhelming the sound of the waves.

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly, and the harmonica sound contained the will, or meaning, of "invitation".

This method of transmitting will through sound as a carrier is also recorded in The Path of the Fire Sword - only those who have completed the seven sefirot can do it.

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

Landing lightly on the beach, Lu Mingfei looked up and saw a figure like a marble monument standing with his back to him under the moonlight, playing a desolate harmonica music.

After the figure played the last syllable, he slowly turned around, revealing a face covered with gray and white scales. The wrinkles on his face did not show any signs of age, and his golden eyes were as bright as blood.

"Nice to meet you, young man from S," the old man put the harmonica into his breast pocket, "my name is... Beowulf."
