Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 250 Mission: 03-3 Future
The Lord of Bronze and Fire, Norton.

Nero stared at the name and circled it heavily. The notebook in her hand was already densely filled with a lot of information she had dug out from her memories, most of which were related to this name.

In this world, each Dragon King is not awakening for the first time. They can pass on their power and memories through the "cocoon" to revive repeatedly, and each Dragon King has many other names in history.

For example, it's said that the King of Earth and Mountains was once the king of the Nio people. At that time, she used the name "Attila," and it's unclear whether she was disguised as a man or used a body double. Interestingly, historically, Attila died suddenly after his wedding night, leading to the persistent theory that he died from lust. Even more intriguingly, lust is the weakest of the "Seven Deadly Sins" forged by Norton to kill the Dragon Kings. And the Dragon Kings who used these names—Attila, Shami, Jörmungandr—are also the weakest of the eight.

But these half-truths about Xia Mi could be ignored for now. For Nero, Norton was the most important person. Norton was a master of alchemy and metals, having once supported Gongsun Shu's claim to the throne. Consequently, his last known hiding place was near the former Baidi City. The academy had discovered that location, but the method of entry was still unclear.

Hidden within the mountain's inner city lie the cocoons of Norton and his brother Constantine, along with a guardian dragon. Norton was the first to break free, but for some unknown reason, he lost his memory for nearly a decade. The academy has discovered the location of the dragon's egg, but they haven't yet realized it, and they'll soon pay a heavy price.

The commissioners who carried out that operation were Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, who are now on this land.

Nero looked at the two names silently. She had to meet Ye Sheng tomorrow. The self-review she had asked Lu Mingfei to write was for the preparatory school, while the action report had to be handed over to Ye Sheng, who was in charge of the mission.

Nero didn't like to watch people die without help, but she couldn't think of a better way to change their fate. Perhaps the only good news for them was that this mission still had a long period of less dangerous exploration. They wouldn't find the entrance to the city until Nero officially enrolled, and then they would find it during an earthquake. Before that...

and many more?

Nero suddenly realized something and quickly turned two pages of his notes forward, and saw another name circled in red.

Jörmungandr. King of the Earth and Mountains.

In her memory, the earthquake that broke the entrance to the underground city was described as "extremely coincidental", and the existence with this name just happened to have the ability to cause earthquakes.

Jörmungandr did indeed set his sights on the skeleton of Constantine, who was taken away by the academy, awakened, and finally killed.

Could this be a coincidence?

Perhaps, but Nero didn't think so.

But...even if he knew about this, what could Nero do?

She couldn't help but fell into thought.

On the other side, after greeting Shutoku Aki in broken Japanese, Lu Mingfei sat down at the long table.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first."

In front of Lu Mingfei, Ye Sheng crossed his fingers on the table, leaned forward, and looked at him sharply: "Professor Guderian and I spoke on the phone. Your mixed-blood identity is strongly guaranteed, so as long as you nod, we will confirm your admission."

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised: "So direct? I thought we still had to go through some formalities."

"But you might want to reconsider this," said Aki Shutoku. Her voice was as sweet as the two dimples on her face. "Professor Guderian won't arrive for another day, and he wants to meet you, too."

"But if I refuse, I'll be brainwashed." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "Although I'm not afraid of brainwashing, no one would want to try it." "These terms are not as absolute as you think." Ye Sheng smiled and changed the subject, "Then can I take it as your consent?"

"Yes, I agree."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Ye Sheng and his partner exchanged a glance and pressed a button to connect the microphone for speaking.

"This is a formal inquiry," he said. "Are you sure? This is your last chance to turn back. Once you say 'confirm,' your voice will be recorded in the academy's system, and it will be equivalent to signing a document."

Why so solemn? Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but no sound came out immediately. But he didn't have any time to hesitate. The last obstacle preventing him from flying to the United States had disappeared before he entered. Now Lu Mingfei could be called "invincible."

It's just a little dangerous. But since the academy is an academy, there will always be people who are unsuited to combat, so there must be purely civilian jobs. Given the risk to his life, perhaps Lu Mingfei will just snap out of it and successfully stay on as a professor?
So he pursed his lips, leaned closer to the microphone, and said, "I confirm."

"Verification passed."

A flat and emotionless voice sounded from the other end: "Lu Mingfei, male, born on July 1991, 7, assigned student number AD17, class 'S', listed on the Kassel College list.

"Your account has been opened. I'm Norma, the secretary of Kassel College. I'm happy to serve you. Welcome, Lu Mingfei."

This voice seemed to indicate that everything was irreversible.

"Norma is very capable. She will help you with your passport and visa." Ye Sheng, who had been through a similar situation before, smiled and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder. He said, "There are also plane tickets and a fool-proof admissions guide. These things will be sent to you by mail when the time comes. Just follow the instructions."

Lu Mingfei, who had never been abroad, sighed: "That's great, this is exactly the kind of help I need."

"But you have to come back tomorrow," Shutoku Aki continued, "and your guardian should come too. The professor has some paperwork for you to fill out, and he's also planning to treat you to a meal."

"Here?" Lu Mingfei asked. He knew that the cost of living in this hotel was outrageous.

"right here."

Ye Sheng’s answer confirmed Lu Mingfei’s opinion of the academy—it was indeed a gathering place for abnormal humans, and it was indeed wealthy and powerful!
"Then..." Lu Mingfei straightened his back and asked, "I don't have anything to do today?"

"Yes, shall I take you out now?"

Facing Ye Sheng's friendly inquiry, Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Let's go through the process again," he said seriously. "Otherwise, if my testimony doesn't match anyone else's after I get out, wouldn't that prove I got in through shady dealings?"

If you lie, you have to tell the whole truth. Lu Mingfei has a deep understanding of this.
