Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Your trip sounds more dangerous than ours." Lu Mingfei sighed.

Chapter 1140 What Each Other Knows

"At least we didn't have so many unexpected situations." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi, "Odin is quite difficult to deal with, but he is the father of the masked senior brother. Fortunately, Uncle Chu and Senior Brother Ye Sheng were rescued in the end. Only some people were injured, but no one was in danger of life."

"Our trip was dangerous, but we also gained a lot." Xia Mi whispered, "At least we entered Odin's Nibelungen, saw through Odin's conspiracy, and destroyed part of the tree. If we hadn't had this chance, Odin and his men would have probably developed to a point where no one could stop them without anyone knowing."

"Indeed, if it weren't for you, Junior Sister, we would have been uncertain whether we could have rescued Uncle Chu." Lu Mingfei nodded and whispered, "If Odin intervened, our situation would be too complicated. Based on what you said about Odin's personality, it's unknown how many of us will be lucky enough to survive in the end."

"Old Tang's 'Zhulong' has done a lot of damage to the tree. According to what Odin said five to twenty years ago, even if we use the power of the White King's dragon bone, it will take at least several years for the tree to recover to its previous state." Xia Mi whispered, "This is just the state it was in when Old Tang and I saw it. If we want to achieve the results that Odin and the others expect, it will take at least ten years. For us, this time is still ample and we have room to do whatever we want."

“Junior sister and Old Tang, you two have really done a great job this time!” Lu Mingfei gave Xia Mi and Old Tang a thumbs up. “We Chinese have an old saying, since you are here, let’s go tonight or tomorrow and have a good meal with me, and then we’ll go have a drink!”

When she heard about drinking, Eri's eyes suddenly lit up, like a little thieving cat smelling fish.

"Drinking? Drinking is good, I've been wanting to do this for a long time!" After hearing Lu Mingfei's suggestion, Old Tang also became excited. He stood up impatiently and said, "How about we go to the whole morning show now? And then when it's time for dinner, we can get some food and continue drinking?"

"Sit down. You're so injured and your mind is still full of drinking. I don't think you want to get better." Xia Mi glanced at Old Tang.

"Have you ever heard that wine is the essence of grain, the more you drink, the younger you become?" Old Tang retorted, "Did Guan Erye kill Hua Xiong with warm wine? When Hua Tuo scraped his bones to heal his wounds, he drank wine instead of Ma Fei San? Wu Song got drunk and killed a tiger, right? Legend has it that when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Grand View Garden, he drank two catties of wine, so he was pressed under Mount Putuo."

"This last piece of unofficial history is really wild." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, be quiet. We haven't finished talking about our business yet." Xia Mi used her eyes to force Old Tang to stay in his seat. "Wait until we've finished talking before you drink. You can drink as much as you want. No one will care if you drink to death."

"Haven't we said everything we need to say? That's all I remember." Old Tang thought for a moment, "I remember nothing happened, right? You just didn't tell me that your college urged you to report back but you refused. Oh, and those seniors you knocked out might still be unconscious in the hotel in Greenland."

"Those senior brothers and sisters from the executive department are still being thrown in Greenland?" Lu Mingfei gave Xia Mi two thumbs up, "Junior sister, you really are like this."

"As soon as they wake up, we should go back to the academy to report on our mission. I came here to tell you about this first." Xia Mi said, "Don't worry, the safety of our brothers and sisters can at least be guaranteed. There are trustworthy people in Greenland to help watch over them. The only thing left is when I will report to the academy."

"Yes, isn't that right? It's all clear and concise." Old Tang said, "It doesn't interfere with drinking!"

"Do you usually only listen to one side when someone talks? Now that we have finished talking about our side, you won't ask about the other side?" Xia Mi scolded Old Tang, "We must know what's going on with Chu Zihang and Senior Brother, right?"

"Didn't they all say that? The Nibelungen in this city is the Nibelungen of Odin, but the Odin here is played by your boyfriend's father. Then they defeated your boyfriend's father and rescued him. Some people were injured but no one died. Finally, we all had a reunion dinner and your engagement banquet together today. Isn't this clear and straightforward?" Old Tang spread his hands towards Xia Mi, "Don't we know almost everything? Do you have any other questions?"

"Do you really understand everything?" Xia Mi did not comment on what Old Tang said. She looked at Lu Mingfei, "Brother, do you have anything else to add?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He noticed that there was another meaning in Xia Mi's eyes. When Xia Mi was telling his story and he asked questions in the middle, Lu Mingfei remembered that Xia Mi looked at him with this kind of eyes several times.

"A lot of things have happened here. Junior sister, let me think about where to start." Lu Mingfei said.

"Let's start from the beginning." Xia Mi said, "I basically know what happened seven years ago, so let's start with your actions this time."

"Let's start from when we were in Japan. At first, when Eri and I were traveling, I received the news that Brother Ye Sheng was missing. The cause of his disappearance was a bounty mission on the hunter website. The mission location was the city under our feet, and the mission content was to investigate abnormal climate and heavy rain." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi, "But in this mission, Brother Ye Sheng disappeared on an elevated road, and the entrance to the elevated road collapsed afterwards. It was also on the news the next day..."

Lu Mingfei started by talking about the information he obtained about Jiude Mai in Japan, and described in detail the actions of him and Chu Zihang, asking Finkel to kidnap... no, the process of inviting Nono, and everything they encountered afterwards at Shilan Middle School, Sacred Heart Hospital and Nibelungen.

It also includes the Deadpool, the buildings and the battle with Chu Tianjiao encountered in Nibelung. Of course, Jiude Mai told Lu Mingfei that Ye Sheng was missing, but he deliberately did not tell Xia Mi about it.

"So the Uncle Chu who put on the mask in the end was also defeated by you, senior brother, right?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei.

"I guess so. But before I fought Uncle Chu, Senior Brother had already consumed a wave of his energy and injured him." Lu Mingfei said, "But at that time Senior Brother didn't realize that Odin was Uncle Chu."

"Does a person wearing a mask possess the power of a dragon king?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei, "Are the masks on Uncle Chu's face and Odin's face the same type?"

"Based on your description, it's most likely the same type: silver, ancient, and with intricate patterns." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "I can't tell whether Uncle Chu truly possessed Dragon King-level power at the time. I've fought three Dragon King-level enemies: you, Fenrir, and Herzog. Initially, based on my previous experience fighting you, I judged that Uncle Chu, wearing the Odin mask, was at least at the threshold of Dragon King level. But after you finished your explanation, I realized that I might have oversimplified the Dragon King."

"Is your judgment based on my experience fighting with Chu Zihang in the subway?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei.

"It's part of the basis, but my biggest basis is actually the battle with Herzog." Lu Mingfei said, "Although I know Herzog is not a complete dragon, and was consumed by you and Lao Tang before fighting me, he is still the White King after all, and his bloodline is superior to the four kings. Based on the situation when I fought him, he wearing the Odin mask can at least be as good as you when you fought with my brother in the subway."

"That's indeed a bit of a skill." Xia Mi paused and said softly to Lu Mingfei, "But brother, you really think too simply of the Dragon King."

"I understand now." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. "Fortunately, I didn't let Herzog continue to develop. Not to mention becoming the real White King, even if this guy grew to have half the power of the White King, it would not be easy to deal with."

"Each Dragon King has a lifespan that is almost eternal. Each of us also has a background that is not easily revealed. Herzog stole the throne. He is not familiar with the power of the White King, nor does he know how to maximize the use of the White King's bloodline." Xia Mi said slowly, "Just like a nouveau riche, he doesn't know how to properly place his assets and just squanders them blindly. Before he masters financial management, a truly wealthy capitalist can easily crush him."

"So, Junior Sister, if you or Norton in his prime fought with Herzog at that time, what were the chances of killing him?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"My answer is 30%." Xia Mi thought for a moment, "For Norton in his prime, it's at least 50%. Of course, this is the probability of killing Herzog, the kind that is willing to die at all costs. If we just defeat him, the probability will be higher, because he only has the body of the White King, and his chest is filled with a weak human heart. He doesn't have the core of a dragon, so he can't become a true king."

Lu Mingfei nodded silently. To be honest, the number Xia Mi gave shocked him greatly, because Lu Mingfei thought that with the bloodline of the White King, Herzog was at least a real Dragon King-level BOSS. Unexpectedly, Xia Mi said that the guy was not worthy of being a real king. Norton in his prime had a 50% chance of killing him, and Xia Mi herself had a 30% chance.

What about the stronger Odin? What about the real White King? What about the Supreme Black King?

What surprised Lu Mingfei even more than all these was the last sentence Xia Mi said...Hidden in Herzog's chest was a fragile human heart, so he had no chance of becoming a true king.

Lu Mingze once said exactly the same thing... Lu Mingfei asked about Lu Mingze's relationship with the dragon clan, but the little devil denied that he was a king and did not explicitly state his existence.

But from this it seems that the little devil also has a ferocious dragon heart in his chest.

"But even the power I showed in the subway is not something that an ordinary second-generation species can challenge." Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, "Even with Chu Zihang's consumption, in the end, you still defeated Uncle Chu in the masked state head-on, right?"

"You can say that..." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and then nodded, acknowledging Xia Mi's statement. "So, Junior Sister, are you curious about why I have the power to defeat enemies beyond the next generation level?"

"Why am I curious about this?" Xia Mi rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei. "Brother, you must have not forgotten how you tortured me in the academy's cellar? You must have not forgotten how you played tricks on Fenrir in the subway? You can even kill Herzog. You have such power. Why should I be surprised?"

"So, Junior Sister, what are you curious about in this question?" Lu Mingfei looked into Xia Mi's eyes.

“Brother, you only defeated Uncle Chu, but you didn’t kill him.” Xia Mi paused, and she also looked into Lu Mingfei’s eyes, “It’s as if you knew from the beginning that it wasn’t Odin, but Uncle Chu?”

"I have suspected this." Lu Mingfei nodded and admitted, "But not at the beginning. It was after Nibelungen and Senior Sister analyzed it. When Senior Brother was fighting with Odin, I was not sure about it yet, so I didn't tell him. I was afraid that Senior Brother would have concerns and something unexpected would happen during the battle."

"So it was Senior Sister Nuonuo who thought of it..." Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei deeply and murmured in a low voice. It was hard to tell whether the tone in her words was doubt or understanding, but she did not argue with Lu Mingfei on this topic.

"Finally, we gathered in Uncle Chu's cabin, and we told him what we had experienced and the changes in the past seven years. Uncle Chu told us his experiences, just like we are doing now, sharing information with each other." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi.

"Brother, do you have anything else to add?" Xia Mi suddenly asked Lu Mingfei, "What you just said probably didn't touch on the point that you care about most, right?"

"When did you notice it?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi suddenly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's the point? What did you notice? Isn't this matter over? What are you guys talking about?" Old Tang looked at Lu Mingfei in confusion, then at Xia Mi, and finally at Chu Zihang, "Do you know what they are talking about?"

"I think I should know." Chu Zihang nodded.

"Damn, you guys are all smart people, okay? I'm stupid, can you just say what you want to say? You make me feel isolated!" Old Tang said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, have you heard of the name 'Yamal'?" Xia Mi no longer kept the secret, and asked Lu Mingfei directly, "Let me ask it another way. Brother, you also know what happened on the 'Yamal' more than 20 years ago, right?"

“Yeah.” Lu Mingfei nodded and admitted, “I know those things, my senior brother and Eri also know them, and everyone outside the room knows them except Uncle Lu and Aunt Su.”

Chapter 1141 What Happened Twenty-Four Years Ago

"So how much do you know about the 'Yamal'?" Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, and there was no emotion in her tone of questioning.

"If it was what happened on the Yamal 24 years ago, we should know more details than you do." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi, "I mean what you heard from that crew member. We also learned about it not long ago. We roughly know everything that happened on the Yamal before it encountered the Nibelungen."

"What about the Nibelungen, the king of sky and wind?" Xia Mi was not in a hurry to ask Lu Mingfei about what happened on the "Yamal" and Lu Mingfei's source of information, but changed the way of asking.

"We don't have as much information as you do in Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "We didn't even know that the imitation world tree had grown to that stage, nor did we know that Odin had returned to Nibelungen, let alone the agreement between the twin kings of the sky and wind."

"But do you also know what happened in the Nibelungen on the day when the Yamal encountered it?" Xia Mi looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and asked, "You at least know how the crew of the Yamal died, you know the existence of those islands, you also know that there are huge trees there, and there is a certain Dragon King."

Although Xia Mi was asking a question, she used an affirmative tone rather than a question.

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded and acknowledged all of Xia Mi's statements.

"I see." Xia Mi nodded, revealing the expected deep affection, "So one of you was an eyewitness to the incident twenty-four years ago."

"You guessed it." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, he didn't show too much surprise, but just asked Xia Mi, "So how did you guess it, Junior Sister?"

Lu Mingfei didn't find it strange that Xia Mi guessed that Lu Mingfei and the others already knew what happened on the "Yamal", because his previous expression of knowing about this matter was also quite obvious. However, Lu Mingfei was quite impressed that Xia Mi could guess that this matter was told to them personally by someone who experienced the "Yamal" incident twenty-four years ago.

"Just now, you said that except for Uncle Lu and Aunt Su, everyone outside the room knew about the Yamal." Xia Mi said softly, "Chu Zihang, you, Eri, Caesar, Nono, Ye Sheng, and Aki, if the information about the Yamal was obtained by Kassel Academy, it is normal for you to share the information with each other, but as a specialist on the mission, there is no reason for the academy not to tell me the detailed information about the Yamal."

"Then Junior Sister, why don't you think that I got the information through other channels on my side?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "You should know that I have many ways to get information, just like I know that Senior Brother Ye Sheng is missing.

The "channel" that Lu Mingfei mentioned was of course Jiude Mai and the others. Those women were quite powerful. Even if Chu Tianjiao didn't tell them about the situation of "Yamal" twenty-four years ago, as long as Lu Mingfei asked Jiude Mai and the others, they would probably be able to find out most of the intelligence from that year.

"No, Brother." Xia Mi shook her head and said to Lu Mingfei, "Based on my understanding of you, if you got the information through private channels, you would not share it with Brother Ye Sheng and Sister Yaji. It's not that they are untrustworthy, but there is no need. If Ye Sheng hadn't mistakenly entered Nibelungen, the two of them could be said to be outsiders to this incident, and there is no need to get involved so deeply. Brother, you are not the kind of person who would do such a superfluous thing."

"Junior sister, you are indeed incredibly smart." Lu Mingfei nodded and admitted, "You are making bold guesses and careful arguments. Your grasp of human nature is becoming more and more accurate."

"Don't worry, Brother, you don't have to test me anymore. If it hadn't developed to the point where humans and dragons were in an all-out war, I wouldn't have used these abilities on humans." Xia Mi paused, and then said to Lu Mingfei, "In fact, Brother, in addition to what I just said, there is another biggest flaw in your words."

"Hmm?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.

"You said that everyone outside the house, except Uncle Lu and Aunt Su, knows about the Yamal. There is someone here who should not know about this." Xia Mi paused, and she suddenly glanced at Chu Zihang, "That is Uncle Chu, who does not belong to Kassel Academy and has been missing for seven years."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a while, then nodded to Xia Mi and said, "If I said this to deliberately reveal my flaw, do you believe it, Junior Sister?"

"Why not believe it? Brother, you are also a smart person." Xia Mi smiled, "So the mixed-blood who boarded the Yamal 24 years ago was Uncle Chu, right?"

"Well, everything about the Yamal and the Nibelungen was told to us by Uncle Chu." Lu Mingfei nodded and admitted, "One day 24 years ago, he boarded the Yamal bound for the Arctic Circle, and then he and the crew entered the Nibelungen somewhere in the Arctic, where they encountered a dragon king. In the end, only he and Sasha escaped."

"In fact, I was able to confirm it when Sasha was first mentioned." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Because whether it is Senior Brother Lu or Chu Zihang, you reacted a lot to the name Sasha. It's not just curiosity, it should be said that you are concerned? But he is just a lucky escaper. Even if he knows part of the truth of that year, you shouldn't be so eager to show a stranger who is far away."

"So this is the fatal flaw." Lu Mingfei nodded. He really cared about the man named Sasha.

Probably no one who has heard the story described by Chu Tianjiao would not care about Sasha, that strong-willed and righteous man... This is probably what Chu Tianjiao cares about the most. If Chu Tianjiao knew that Sasha had woken up, he would also feel relieved and fortunate.

I hope Sasha recovers smoothly.

"Junior sister, you became certain when Sasha was mentioned, so when did you start to doubt?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"A long time ago." Xia Mi said, "Probably from when I just described the Yamal. You didn't seem to be very curious about the mysterious icebreaker, but I noticed that you and Chu Zihang exchanged glances several times at that time. Your eyes were not curious, but negotiations, as if someone suddenly mentioned a common acquaintance of yours."

"I see." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "But ever since I guessed that you, Junior Sister, had realized that we knew about the 'Yamal', I stopped trying to hide it. I just started playing it down."

"What else? It's so obvious." Xia Mi rolled her eyes. "Back then, you told me several things that you shouldn't have known, even without asking questions. The tone of your statement was so obvious, okay?"

"That's for you, Junior Sister." Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "Isn't it the same as telling you, Junior Sister, that I know these things, and I know them in more detail than you?"

"So, Senior Brother, can you tell me more details about what you know?" Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "There is no need to repeat what happened to Chu Zihang and Uncle Chu seven years ago, as well as what you have experienced during this period. What I want to know more is what happened on the Yamal twenty-four years ago, especially what happened to Uncle Chu in the Nibelungen, the King of Sky and Wind."

"Uncle Chu also told us these things. He heard about the possibility of Nibelungen in the Arctic Circle from a drunk man in the tavern. After that, he bought a ticket on the Yamal ship and boarded the trip to the Arctic..."

Lu Mingfei told Xia Mi what Chu Tianjiao had said to them before, about the bet between Chu Tianjiao and Vincent, about the appearance of the former "God's Skirt" and the iceberg, about what happened to the crew of the "Yamal" in Nibelungen, the various islands, strange creatures, and white humanoids they encountered, and finally, the deep friendship between Chu Tianjiao and Sasha when they were on the verge of death.

"I see. So the crew of the 'Yamal' told me that the person who went to the hospital to visit Sasha more than 20 years ago was Uncle Chu back then, right?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei.

"Yes, Uncle Chu visited Sasha, paid for his hospitalization for 100 years, and ordered flowers for Sasha from the city's flower shops, because almost no one would visit him." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "In addition, Uncle Chu also visited Sasha's mother in the mental hospital and paid for her hospitalization for 100 years. He also went to see Sasha's sister. That girl was once very rebellious, but now her life seems to be back on track."

"The deep friendship between men formed in desperate situations." Xia Mi nodded and said softly, "Human emotions are quite mysterious. In just one day, they can become brothers who share weal and woe."

"But the medical expenses that were paid originally belonged to Vincent, the real captain of the Yamal." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi, "Vincent didn't keep any of the money that he entrusted to Uncle Chu for himself. He distributed it all to the families of the deceased Yamal crew members."

"This is not about money at all. The love between men is stronger than gold." Old Tang was so moved that he even secretly wiped his moist eyes. He said to Chu Zihang, "Your father is a real man, and that guy named Sasha is also a real man! When I have time, I must go to Russia to get to know that guy and have a drink with him!"

"Yes." Lu Mingfei whispered, and he secretly added in his heart, if the man can really recover to a relatively healthy state.

"That old guy named Vincent was a spy?" Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei.

"Yes, they are very fanatical secret agents." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "It's as if they have been brainwashed by their leader Xi Teli."

"Are there any problems with the inner soldiers?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

"No problem." Xia Mi thought for a while, "I remember that Odin seemed to have had some contact with that group of crazy humans at some point in history. Maybe he came into contact with those guys and reached some kind of cooperation, or maybe he used those guys. It's not certain whether this is the case or not. I don't remember it very well."

Hearing Xia Mi's words, Lu Mingfei lowered his head and fell into a brief contemplation. It was very likely that Xia Mi remembered correctly, otherwise how could Xi Te Li have collected so much information about the Arctic Nibelung, as well as news about the so-called "eternal life" and "death".

So everything has a traceable path. The great leader Xiteli may also be a pawn of Odin. What's more, according to Xia Mi, the brainwashed Vincent, Odin may have appeared in many important occasions in history, playing a variety of different behind-the-scenes roles.

"Brother, you said that Uncle Chu had seen several islands in Nibelungen." Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei, "I mean, there are several islands with huge trees that Lao Tang and I have seen?"

"Well, Uncle Chu described the appearance of those trees. The only difference is the number and size." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "In Uncle's description, the tree he encountered was only a few hundred meters high. It also had self-awareness and strong attack tendencies. Many crew members of the 'Yamal' died under the leaves of that tree."

"Twenty-four years." Xia Mi lowered her head and whispered, "No, it was seven years ago, so it was only seventeen years ago. About seventeen years ago, the trees on other islands were devoured, and finally the tree that Lao Tang and I saw grew. How could it be so fast..."

"Junior sister, do you remember what Uncle Chu said? There were many huge cocoons hanging behind that huge tree." Lu Mingfei said to Xia Mi, "Those cocoons were filled with living creatures. They were like a constant source of nutrients, being supplied to the tree."

Xia Mi was silent for a while, with a strange light flickering in her eyes. Her lips opened and closed several times. Finally, she raised her head, looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, and let out a long sigh.

"I see. I understand now." Xia Mi said, "It's not about raising Gu, but paying tribute. From the beginning, they only chose one tree. Those cocoons are nutrients for other trees, and those trees are nutrients for the tree chosen by Odin and his men. This is how they can cultivate the most powerful individual most quickly."

"There is one more thing I need to tell you, Junior Sister and Old Tang." Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and Old Tang and said, "Those altar-like islands are the islands made of 'heavy stones' that Junior Sister mentioned. Aren't there obelisk-like buildings on top of the altars? Coordinates are engraved on the tops of those buildings. The coordinates point to the location of Nibelungen, Junior Sister and Old Tang."

"You are obviously talking about the Bronze City on the Yangtze River and the subway in the capital?" Old Tang asked Lu Mingfei with a sidelong glance.

"Yes." It was not Lu Mingfei but Xia Mi who gave this affirmative answer. Xia Mi whispered, "I actually knew about this a long time ago."

Chapter 1142 Lover

"You know it again?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi in surprise. Isn't this junior sister a little too supermodel?

"Well, I found out when Nibelungen borrowed the power of the White King's dragon bone." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Aren't those obelisks made of 'heavy stone'? 'Heavy stone' contains spiritual power. It is easy to sense the structure of 'heavy stone' with the power of the White King."

“So you can even sense the words above.” Lu Mingfei said with emotion, “Spiritual power is really convenient.”

"After all, it is an independent fifth element." Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "In fact, there are people among humans who have outstanding mental power. You humans call this power the sixth sense. Some people can see remotely, some people have extremely rich dreams, and some people's hearing and perception abilities are several times that of ordinary people."
