Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, Starting as a Seeker of the Law

The hidden door had only one handle on its surface, without even a keyhole, just like the secret agent door that Lu Mingfei had imagined.

Chu Zihang had already walked over, his gaze sweeping over the hidden door before finally stopping at a mark: a giant tree, half withered and half thriving, one half extremely lush, the other completely dead.

"Kassel College..."

"What?"

"This door is a creation of Kassel College." Chu Zihang pointed to the mark. "That's the mark of Kassel College, a half-withered, half-flourishing World Tree, symbolizing rebirth and destruction."

"The World Tree?" Lu Mingfei murmured, looking at the mark.

For some reason, when Chu Zihang mentioned the term "World Tree," he had a strange feeling... like...

Before Lu Mingfei could figure it out, a metallic clanging sound interrupted him.

It was Chu Zihang's action.

Chu Zihang pulled the Japanese longsword from his guitar case. Without the slightest hesitation, he gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, his molten gold pupils fixed on the bolts deep within the crevice.

With a downward pull of the waist, the whole body, like a spring compressed to its limit, bursts forth in an instant.

brush!

The cold blade transformed into silver lightning, whistling through the air with unparalleled precision, slashing fiercely through the gaps in the door lock time and time again.

The sparks flying between the two made Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitch, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

"Senior brother? Aren't you afraid this sword will break?" Lu Mingfei asked, looking at the trembling blade.

"Don't worry." Chu Zihang seemed completely unconcerned, simply swinging his sword again and again, his entire being focused on the weapon, utterly unconcerned about its appearance. "This sword is called Murasame, a weapon forged using dragon alchemy. Don't worry about its durability."

The alchemical weapon uses the alchemy of the dragon race, which contains a special alchemical matrix. In terms of strength alone, there is no need to worry about it breaking. In other words, the only situation where it might break is on the battlefield. In normal use, there is no need to worry about durability.

"Thump!"

at last!

With a crisp sliding sound, the steel pillar hidden in the crevice was cut off.

Perhaps out of desperation, he casually stuck the knife into the ground, then suddenly leaned towards the hidden door, ramming his entire shoulder into the door that had lost its core lock.

boom.....!

The long-unused metal door hinges groaned, and the heavy steel door suddenly swung open inward.

A blast of air, mixed with dust and the smell of alcohol, suddenly rushed out from behind the door and hit us in the face!

............

"Wow, this is really Uncle's little nest!"

Lu Mingfei followed Chu Zihang into the hidden door. As if sensing someone entering, the space suddenly lit up, revealing a whole wall of wine cabinets. On the table next to it was an empty wine bottle without a cap, and the smell that Lu Mingfei was smelling was the alcohol evaporating from it.

Besides the walls covered with bottles of alcohol, the most eye-catching thing in the entire space is the entire wall opposite it.

The entire wall was covered with photos, from children who looked only two or three years old to a cold-faced teenager. The entire wall almost recorded the entire life of the boy. Looking around, Lu Mingfei saw that besides Chu Zihang, there was also the woman from the previous family photo, which was probably Chu Zihang's mother.

Aside from a few front-facing photos, the rest are all candid shots, clearly taken during a long period of stalking and filming.

What's going on? So Uncle Chu still likes Auntie after all... Just as he was thinking this, the last picture hit him like a ton of bricks.

The woman was beaming with joy as she linked arms with another man whose face was so obscured by red ink that he was unrecognizable.

Lu Mingfei then realized that his aunt had remarried. This...

He stole a glance at Chu Zihang, and seeing that the other party didn't react, he relaxed. He had almost forgotten that his senior brother's parents seemed to have divorced a long time ago, but even though they were divorced...

Lu Mingfei was at a loss for what to do.

They clearly still couldn't forget each other, but then they got divorced...

Even though they're divorced, he still secretly keeps an eye on them...

"I didn't expect Uncle to be so devoted..." Lu Mingfei said awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood. "Uncle is also a member of Kassel, so why didn't he bring you, Senior Brother, into Kassel? Didn't you say you went to Kassel on your own?"

"He was a father." Chu Zihang slowly spoke, his fingertips tracing the photograph.

"I've never understood why he broke up with my mother since I was little. My mother liked him so much, and he often asked me about her. They both cared about each other..."

It wasn't until that rainy night that I finally understood... it was to protect me and my mother.

"But why did he keep it from you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

He didn't quite understand. According to Chu Zihang, based on bloodline inheritance, a mixed-race child would most likely also be mixed-race. So why didn't he explain the truth beforehand?

Isn't this bound to be exposed sooner or later?

"Because my birth was an accident." Chu Zihang shook his head. "I've figured it out. Maybe he came with a mission from the beginning, but he didn't expect to meet my mother and have me."

"Does this sound so romantic?" Lu Mingfei retorted. "Then what is Uncle's mission?"

"I don't know. Because of that Word of Power issue, there's no record of him even at Kassel College. I only remember that he wanted to protect a box, but to protect me, he even handed the box over directly."

"That really is a good father." Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the half-withered, half-flourishing World Tree totem on the wall. Looking at that totem, he always had a strange feeling... as if something was taking root and sprouting in his heart...

After organizing the photos in the secret room, the two quietly slipped out. Looking at the sky, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, an indescribable discomfort.

Dragon race, hybrid race, he felt as if he had lived in a cage since childhood... His uncle and aunt's house was a cage, the school was a cage, and now even this society was a huge cage, and there were always cages outside the cage.

Not only did they imprison him for more than a decade, but they were not satisfied and wanted to imprison him for the next few decades.

He had never even seen his mother, and now he couldn't even remember her face...

If he hadn't become a seeker of the Dharma, if he hadn't gained abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people, how long would it have taken him to discover all of this?

So, is his life... truly his own?

That feeling returned, faintly, as if a seed was beginning to take root in his heart. As his magical power uncomfortably accelerated, that seed began to grow violently.

A faint, almost imperceptible golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the sky. The moment the golden light appeared, time seemed to stand still around him.

"You've changed, brother."
