Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 283 Mission: 07-3 The destiny is determined
According to Mans's judgment, it was another Dragon King who appeared in the Bronze City and killed the city lord.

This wasn't surprising, for dragons naturally loved war and battle. Ever since the Black King's death, the history of the dragon race had been one of four great monarchs leading their own factions in a war of attrition. Perhaps the Bronze and Fire King, newly awakened from his slumber, had already suffered at the hands of his own kind, and the dragon king had gained even greater power as a result.

But that was a while ago. Since dragon blood is harder to clot than human blood, the lord of Bronze City must have been killed a week to a month ago. It's only natural that the Dragon King, having achieved his goal, has already left. So, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki no longer need to worry about danger.

However, Mans did not say these words directly. If the taut string was relaxed, it would be too loose, and Ye Sheng and the others still needed to maintain some tension.

"Professor, we found the body of a dragon and a complete set of alchemical weapons."

For Kassel Academy, anything derived from a dragon is extremely valuable, and this corpse is no exception. This dragon corpse is likely to belong to a Dragon King, and the Academy will not let it go, but with the current manpower, they cannot move it.

But this information alone didn't tell them anything, so Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki continued forward and found a bell-shaped copper container hidden in a small room behind the dragon's corpse, as if it were protected.

"It's almost time." Mans glanced at his watch and ordered, "Prepare to return."

"I see. Do you want to take these with you?"

The "these" Ye Sheng was referring to were alchemical weapons and a half-man-high brass jar that looked important.

"Take what you can with you. You don't know when you'll come again."

With the dragon corpse and dragon script information in existence, the academy will undoubtedly send out exploration teams to explore this ancient palace several times. However, that will require more manpower and more preparation.

Thinking this, Mans began to contact the principal to report the good news and bad news, but as soon as the call was connected, new bad news came.

The news came from Ye Sheng, who had just removed the brass container. In Shude Aki's eyes, the captain's face was pale, and he was desperately calling for support: "Professor! This brass jar seems to be connected to some kind of mechanism, and the entire ancient city has started to operate! I suspect it's self-destructing!"

"what?!"

"What the hell."

A deafening bell suddenly rang outside the window. Lu Mingfei, who was wielding a knife and fork to deal with a crystal clear lobster, looked up blankly and saw that everyone had stopped where they were.

Not long ago, he and Nero were greeted by the student council members at the entrance of Amber Hall. Standing beside the elegant yet proud Nero, even Lu Mingfei straightened his back, projecting a certain air of dignity. Initially nervous, then relaxed, Lu Mingfei hadn't realized this was actually a "ball"—so upon entering and seeing the sumptuous meal, he dove headfirst into the feast. Joining him was Finger, a student council member who had also been invited.

Nero was clearly speechless at their behavior. After tasting a few cakes, he left them alone to greet Caesar. Lu Mingfei didn't realize the consequences of this when the ball officially started, and was completely immersed in the food.

But fortunately, he doesn't need to worry about this now.

In the stagnant, faceless crowd, Lu Mingfei nodded in sudden realization and turned to look to the side.

Sure enough, the person eating lobster with him had changed. The boy with black hair and black clothes, dressed meticulously, was holding a knife and fork, cutting the lobster in front of him methodically.

"Are you here to eat and drink for free?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask.

"What a harsh word! Am I not also an invited guest?"

As he spoke, the boy picked up a piece of snow-white shrimp meat and handed it to Lu Mingfei: "Here, ah——"

"Oh, no, no, no, I'm not gay." Lu Mingfei shook his head repeatedly, "If you have nothing to do, just leave quickly. I prefer to eat in real life." The boy shook his head: "I don't understand. Eating here won't take up space in your stomach, so wouldn't that mean you're eating more?"

Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead and sighed, "That makes sense! It would be a waste if you don't eat it. Then you continue."

As he spoke, he made a move to cut the lobster meat, but the bell rang again, interrupting his action.

"What the hell is going on?" He looked up in confusion. "Why is the bell in this dream getting louder and louder?"

"When the bell rings, it means something is about to happen." The boy said meaningfully, "Remember? Every time I appear, it means danger is happening around you."

"No way, this place is full of people with super powers."

"Do you think there's only one kind of danger? Think about that time you were standing at the door to the ladies' room."

It would have been fine if the boy hadn't mentioned this, but as soon as Lu Mingfei mentioned it, he couldn't help but glare: "Isn't that because you pulled me into the dream?"

"If I didn't pull you, you would have walked in!" the boy said righteously.

"Okay, I'll take it as you're right. Then can you tell me what danger will happen now?"

But whenever Lu Mingfei asked the boy for something, his answer always seemed to be the same: "Then, exchange?"

But this time, after he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Just kidding. I'm really here to help you this time."

"Are you so kind?" Lu Mingfei looked at him sideways.

"I'm your younger brother, so of course I have to help my older brother," the boy said with a smile. "Seeing that woman steal all the limelight from you, brother, I'm not happy as your younger brother. You're only S-rank, and everyone's attention should be on you."

"Then you're just making things worse." Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue and made a "tsk" sound. "I think this is good. If the sky falls, tall people will hold it up. I'm tall, so shouldn't I be the one holding up the sky?"

A faint, crisp cracking sound echoed, as if the world itself were cracking. The boy frowned and looked towards the second floor of the hall.

"What a nasty guy."

He grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and thrust it hard into the lobster's flesh, then simply vanished into thin air.

The next moment, a shrill alarm sounded in Lu Mingfei's ears, and everyone in the villa looked out the window.

Only Lu Mingfei lowered his head. The dark sauce smeared across the snow-white shrimp was mouth-watering. Under Lu Mingfei's knife, the sauce was smeared into a string of English letters.

"black sheep wall", black sheep wall.

In StarCraft, this is a cheat code that will dispel all fog of war from the map.
