Wu Sheng Lu Mingfei of the Dragon Clan

Chapter 438 Bloody Alchemy Matrix

"I heard from little friend Kenta that you came to the North Pole to find the mysterious island, uncle."

Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Hahaha.

Uncle Iwata scratched his head, and his laughter suddenly burst into a big mouthful of steam.

"That kid is really serious, he can talk about everything, such a shameful thing..."

"Shame?"

"Well, speaking of it, there are indeed some..."

Uncle Iwata took a sip of his wine.

"Everyone has childhood dreams. Some of the boys in the village say they want to be the world's number one cartoonist or writer when they grow up. One thinks bigger than the other."

The uncle's words also brought back memories of Lu Mingfei.

He remembered the days when he lived with his master and younger sister.

The master asked them what they want to do in the future and what kind of life they want to live, and Lu Mingfei described it yearningly.

"There must be money that can't be spent."

"I don't have to work every day."

"You can go wherever you want, no one cares."

As for Junior Junior Sister, when Lu Mingfei said something, she nodded once, holding her face in her small hands, and her face was full of yearning.

Only the master, the more he listened, the darker his face became, and he didn't say anything afterwards, but punished the two little guys for an extra day of practice.

Thinking about it now, Lu Mingfei would still shake his head with a smile.

A childhood dream.

"Everyone has it, childhood dream."

"me too."

Uncle Iwata let out a breath.

"I don't know if Brother Lu still remembers. Decades ago, it should be said that it was the last century. The unsolved mysteries of the world, the [-] whys, popular science books on science and astronomy, were quite popular."

"Speaking of which, children who grew up in that era are really lucky."

Uncle Iwata came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Putting away, pulling away."

He continued.

"I am the mysterious island I saw in a book of unsolved mysteries."

"I think Brother Lu should have seen similar reports."

"The mysterious island, or an island that can move, is said to appear in many different locations. The book lists the sightings of seven sailors, all at different latitude and longitude points."

"But."

Lu Mingfei said.

"Since they saw it in different places, how can they be sure that it is the same island."

"" The skirt of the goddess.

Uncle Iwata looked at the dark sky in the distance.

He turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei again, and laughed.

"Brother Lu, have you ever heard of it? This is what the locals call it. How about this translation? It's very beautiful."

He murmured with emotion.

"A skirt of a goddess.

The locals in Uncle Iwata’s mouth refer to the Eskimos. They live in igloos, open a hole in the thick ice to fish, and tenaciously survive in the Arctic.

The skirt of the goddess actually refers to the aurora, a unique weather in the polar region.

Every time the mysterious island appears, it is accompanied by the aurora, and at the same time, the messenger of the goddess is swimming in the surrounding sea.

There are two features that make them sure that the islands they see are the same one.

"Uncle, how long have you been looking for the mysterious island?"

"How long..."

Uncle Iwata looked thoughtful.

"I went to sea for the first time when I was 15 years old, and now I have been floating in the sea every year. If I count it, it has been 31 years."

Lu Mingfei glanced at him in surprise.

I went to sea at the age of 15, 31 years, which means that Uncle Iwata is at least 46 years old.

I can't believe it, the uncle's muscular body can still fight sea monsters, he doesn't look like a man who is about to be 50 years old.

Uncle Iwata seemed to see what Lu Mingfei was thinking.

"Why, don't believe me."

He compared his arms and made a few bodybuilding moves.

Immediately, the muscles expanded and contracted as if they were alive.

"awesome."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

It's nothing for a person who usually pays attention to exercise to achieve this level, but Uncle Iwata is almost half a century old, and he can still maintain this figure. I really have to say something amazing.

Lu Mingfei's record is there before, even if he doesn't ask, Uncle Iwata can tell that this brother Lu is definitely not an ordinary person.

So, to be able to get a compliment from this person is really worthy of complacency.

"Hahaha."

Uncle Iwata lowered his arm.

"In the past few years, every time I want to go to sea, some people come to persuade me. They think that I am too old, and I am not suitable to be a captain. They hope that I will give up the Sonny and find another ship to be the first officer. "

Uncle Iwata waved his hand.

"Stop joking!"

"old?"

"How could I, Iwata, be old before I found the mysterious island!"

"Besides, how could I give up on the Sonny!
"My crew came aboard the Sonny because they believed in me."

"It is absolutely impossible for me to live up to their trust!"

Uncle Iwata stood by the side of the boat, braving the harsh arctic wind, and made such a heroic declaration.

Lu Mingfei applauded.

"It's really ambitious, uncle."

"hey-hey."

Uncle Iwata rubbed his arms vigorously and smiled honestly.

"It's actually nothing."

"No matter how you say it, I'm a man, so I should do this."

"By the way, Brother Lu."

Rarely, this uncle showed a hesitant look on his face.

"The first mate, they should, it's okay."

"First Mate and Pepper."

"You can really wake up."

Although Kenta told him many times, Lu Mingfei repeatedly assured that the first mate and Xiaojiao were only in a coma, and they would definitely wake up.

But Uncle Iwata was still worried.

He wanted to hear his promise from Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked at the worry on this man's face, with such an expression that could not be faked at all.

The so-called man is the one who can really take responsibility on his shoulders.

"Ah."

Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously.

"of course can."

Uncle Iwata breathed a sigh of relief.

He laughed heartily again.

"Brother Lu, leave this to me, go back and rest!"

"You must be tired if you haven't slept for two days!"

He patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder hard, as if the previous captain of the Sonny had returned.

Lu Mingfei did not try to be brave.

"Row."

He nodded.

"I'm going to bed."

Watching Lu Mingfei's back disappear, Uncle Iwata's heroic smile gradually faded, and his tall and straight figure bent down. In any case, he is nearly fifty years old, and even if he is a mixed race, there is a limit after all.

It is said that in the distant American continent, there is a Cassel College, and their principal, Angers, is a man who is over 100 years old and can fight dragons.

"It's not comparable, it's not comparable."

Uncle Iwata shook his head and wrapped his coat tighter.

He glanced at the ghost ship not far away. This ship was floating dead on the sea, like a corpse. It had already become the lair of sea monsters. Uncle Iwata remembered the dense golden pupils he saw that night , I still have lingering fears thinking about it.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about what the so-called envoy of the mysterious island would be before, but he never thought that it would look like this. These monsters completely tarnished the word goddess.

Uncle Iwata has a shadow in his heart. He has been chasing the mysterious island for most of his life, and he has something to do with monsters like sea monsters. So the question is, what is the mysterious island he is chasing?
This time it was thanks to Lu Mingfei, if he wasn't there, one or all of the people on the Sonny would have died.

But what about next time?

Uncle Iwata lowered his head and stared at the dark sea.

He suddenly thought about a question.

Lu Mingfei...has he seen the mysterious island?

Pepper wakes up at night.

She herself is fine, and there is no wound on her body. After Lu Mingfei's inspection, it is confirmed that Xiaojiali is just exhausted. Supplement a lot of nutrition and rest properly, and it will be fine.

Originally the first officer also served as the doctor on the Sonny, but he is now in a coma and has not yet woken up. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei is there. The so-called medicine and martial arts are not separated. They all have a considerable degree of understanding. Although it can't be called rejuvenation, Lu Mingfei's medical skills can be said to be much more professional than laymen like Uncle Iwata and Kenta.

Pepper was confused for a long time after waking up, and bit by bit she retrieved her memories before coma, Kenta and Uncle's golden pupils, and her own awakening.

"What is this..."

She looked at Uncle Iwata, hoping to get an answer from him.

Lu Mingfei closed the door, leaving space for Uncle Iwata and Xiaojiao.

It's just that the sound insulation effect of the Sonny is not good, even if the door is closed, Lu Mingfei can still hear Uncle Iwata's voice coming from inside.

"Your sister, she..."

Lu Mingfei paused, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

After going around a few bends, we found Dashan.

This big man was sitting cross-legged at the door of the first mate's room, counting the clouds in the sky boredly.

"Yo, Dashan."

When he heard the movement, he turned his head immediately and found that it was Lu Mingfei, and Da Shan laughed foolishly.

"It's you, boss."

Lu Mingfei was a little helpless. He was not used to being called the boss at first. After all, there was an uncle Iwata on the Sonny, but that kid Kenta was so stubborn that he didn't listen to what he said and went his own way.

Fortunately, Kenta took the lead, and even an upright person like Dashan also called the boss.

Lu Mingfei wanted to explain to Uncle Iwata, but he was still thinking about how to open his mouth. As soon as the two of them met, he heard Uncle Iwata say something.

"Hi Boss Lu!"

Lu Mingfei: ...

He looked at Uncle Iwata's face as if he had succeeded in a child's prank, and couldn't help shaking his head.

The people on this boat are really... "Is the first officer awake?"

Lu Mingfei went to ask Dashan.

Dashan didn't answer immediately, but looked into the room with his head, and then said to Lu Mingfei.

"No, Mr. First Mate is still sleeping."

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei sat on the ground next to the mountain.

Cross your legs and lean against a wall.

Da Shan tried his best to move to the side, trying to make more space for Lu Mingfei, even a little bit.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Lu Mingfei called to stop.

Dashan scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly.

The two looked up at the cloud together.

"Anyway, idle is idle……"

Lu Mingfei said.

"How about we chat."

"Okay."

Dashan thought about it.

"But what are we talking about?"

"Talk about how your village is doing."

Lu Mingfei proposed.

"For example, Little Pepper's younger sister."

…………

The Sonny has been stopped and did not move forward, partly because the chief mate did not wake up, and partly because of Sonny's own problems.

The battle of the Kraken that night caused quite a lot of damage to the ship. There are many places where there are no replacement parts. It is absolutely impossible. The tricky thing is that they do not carry enough parts. The Sonny must undergo a major renovation. If there are Uncle Dashan and Iwata, other people can also help and make some efforts.

It's just that the problem of parts is not easy to solve. The location of the Sonny is already in the Arctic Circle. There are very few ships passing through the waterway here, and even if there are passing ships, they are either scientific research ships or cruise ships. How much help can they do? It's really hard to say.

When they were at a loss, Lu Mingfei turned his attention to the ghost ship not far away.

"Where are you going?"

Uncle Iwata froze for a moment, scratched his head, and looked at the ghost ship in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger. He stopped what he wanted to say, swallowed it, and his eyes slowly lit up.

"Yes!"

Uncle Iwata punched his left palm with his right fist, as if suddenly enlightened.

"We can still use parts from them."

The two ships were not far apart. Sonny put down a small boat, and there were Lu Mingfei and Dashan on it. Sonny couldn’t do without Uncle Iwata. Leave someone to take care of it, and there will be a way to deal with it in case of any accident.

"Safe travels!"

"Be careful, Boss Lu!"

Uncle Iwata and Kenta waved to Lu Mingfei on the Sonny.

The small boat raised a high white wave and sailed towards the ghost ship.

Dashan took the direction. He had to come. With Uncle Iwata staying on the Sonny, as the only engineer on board besides Uncle, if Dashan didn’t come, who would help to see which parts could be used and which ones couldn’t?
"arrive."

"Ah."

It was said that it was a ghost ship, and no one would throw a rope ladder down from above, but such a trivial matter as boarding the ship was not difficult for a mixed race and a warrior.

Dashan flicked the hook lock, dropped the net, and the claws circled around the railing a few times. He tugged hard, nodded after making sure it was stable.

"I go first."

Lu Mingfei alternated his hands, climbed onto the ghost ship, landed on the deck, looked left and right, flashed the flashlight three times downwards, and Dashan, who had received the signal, also climbed up.

"It's up to you next."

"okay!"

Da Shan shook his head a little and led the way.

Leaving professional matters to professional people, Lu Mingfei still knows this. The core of the ghost ship boarding this time is Dashan. He is responsible for finding parts, and what he needs to do is mainly to protect the safety of Dashan.

By the way, if possible, Lu Mingfei also wanted to find out why this ship became a ghost ship.

He wondered how all the people on board died.

"There are traces of fighting here!" "And here."

Lu Mingfei communicated with Dashan.

The inside of the ghost ship was very dark. They were using flashlights. The ship's own lighting system had been disabled, and the generator block had also stopped operating. The two used flashlights to illuminate and saw many traces of fighting.

Dashan found many bullet holes and named the names and models of several firearms.

Lu Mingfei distinguished the traces left by the Krakens, their sharp claws and snake tails, as well as human blood.

It is conceivable that a tragedy must have occurred on the ghost ship at that time.

A boat of people was being targeted by monsters, and some of them were equipped with guns, but after encountering monsters, the guns, which were always invincible in the past, couldn't even penetrate the scales on the body surface, which made them desperate.

"Fortunately."

Dashan breathed a sigh of relief.

He explained to Lu Mingfei.

"This is a luxury cruise ship that uses top-notch equipment. There are four power generation modules, and the three spare ones are almost [-]% new."

When he said this, Dashan's tone was full of emotion. He had always been just tinkering with the barely moving equipment on the Sonny, and he couldn't put it down after getting started with these good things.

It’s similar to the excitement of a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol when he sees a wine jar unearthed in an ancient tomb. Also have a taste.

Lu Mingfei could naturally hear the emotions in Dashan's words, so he laughed along with him.

"So our boat can move?"

"Ok!"

Dashan nodded vigorously.

"Definitely."

He looked around emotionally.

"Boss, maybe you don't know, don't look at the dilapidated ship, the equipment inside it is in good condition, just repair it a little bit, no, I don't think it even needs to be repaired, and it can be started directly."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

Thinking about it, the goal of the Krakens is simply to kill, kill humans, and kill all living creatures. Obviously, there is no option for luxury cruise ships in the kill list of the Krakens.

Monsters have no interest in destroying dead things.

Just... a luxury cruise?
These days, Lu Mingfei has learned about this world through various means, and he also knows what the term luxury cruise ship represents. People who can afford a luxury cruise ship often have no identity, and they would not appear if it were not so. In the remote North Pole, ordinary places can no longer satisfy these wealthy families, and they have to go to places that ordinary people cannot go to satisfy their status.

However, taking a luxury cruise ship to the North Pole was originally just for pleasure. I never thought that I would die because of it in the end, and I don’t know what these rich people will think before they die.

Dashan took the notebook to record, and at the same time disassembled some usable parts.

"You're busy, I'll take a look around."

"no problem."

Dashan made an "OK" gesture.

Lu Mingfei took a second look, thinking to himself, it seems that his understanding of this world is still not enough, and he should read more books later.

After opening several cabins one after another, Lu Mingfei found traces of being dragged inside, but did not find the body.

Will the Kraken still clean up the corpse?
Lu Mingfei thought.

Take a rough look at each room, and go to the next room if there is no abnormality.

It has been fruitless.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what he was doing either.

It's just that there is a question in my heart that I can't get rid of.

What happened to this luxury cruise ship?
Why would the siren stare at them?

In fact, Lu Mingfei had a guess in his mind.Perhaps, it is not the Kraken that is eyeing this cruise ship, but the mysterious island that Uncle Iwata, the owner of the Krakens, has been pursuing for decades.

He searched room by room, just looking for evidence to prove his conjecture. Although the hope of finding it was quite slim, he was still idle anyway, and it was good to have something to do to pass the time.

Moreover, how should I put it, Lu Mingfei glimpsed in the deep sea a few nights ago, and the huge black shadow like an island always appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.

There are such huge creatures in this world!

Lu Mingfei was very concerned.

Kyushu Martial Arts also has supernatural powers, but there is no such thing as Martial Dao in this world. How did this huge island-like creature do it?
In addition, Lu Mingfei is also curious, wondering if there is only one such huge creature in this world, or there are many.

The state of nothing was found until the last few rooms.

Lu Mingfei made up his mind in his mind, if he didn't get anything from these rooms, he would go back directly, he couldn't just leave Dashan alone, it would be bad if something happened.

Turning the handle and pushing open the door, the moment Lu Mingfei saw the furnishings in the room, his expression changed suddenly.

What a strong smell of blood!

Also, this is...

The sights are all blood-drawn patterns, triangles, squares, cones, and various styles that Lu Mingfei can't name, as well as some kind of symbols similar to words.

He felt strange.

No matter when Lu Mingfei is here, he will feel strange, unless there is a vice-principal of Kassel next to him, because the symbols in this cabin are all the most advanced knowledge of alchemy, and It is not something ordinary alchemists can understand, and only a legendary alchemist at the level of the vice principal can interpret it.

Lu Mingfei was still curious. He felt strange, why he didn't smell blood in the corridor outside, but he smelled it when he opened the door. What kind of trick is this, and it can trick his nose?

If the vice principal is here, he can explain it to Lu Mingfei. This is a special formula in alchemy, which isolates a closed space from the level of mysticism. This closed space is both powerful and fragile, and it prohibits all inside and outside. The exchange of information and the smell of blood were all sealed in this room, so of course Lu Mingfei outside couldn't smell it.

But it is also very fragile, even if it is not Lu Mingfei, someone else can destroy this confined space by opening the door casually.

Lu Mingfei glanced at every rune and every pattern drawn in blood.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, you won't make mistakes if you write it all down.

For some reason, after coming to this world from Kyushu, even though Lu Mingfei couldn't use the inhuman strength in his body, his brain was very good, his wit was quick, and one idea after another kept coming out. , The memory is also much stronger than that of Kyushu.

At least Lu Mingfei couldn't write down so many things in a short period of time when he was in Kyushu.

After writing it down, Lu Mingfei began to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

He had an intuition that the reason why this luxury cruise ship became the ghost ship it is today is because of the ghostly symbols in this cabin.

Lu Mingfei found a logbook in the drawer.

When he opened it, Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows. There were unfamiliar words on it, but he could understand it.

This feeling is similar to that after waking up in this other world, I can naturally understand the language of Xiaojiao and Uncle Iwata.

The current Lu Mingfei is no longer the self who just woke up. He knows that Uncle Iwata and Little Pepper use a language called Japanese, and the Kyushu language he is familiar with is very similar to the Far East in this world.

Lu Mingfei was puzzled at first that he could understand a language he had never learned before, but later he thought about it, probably because of the time travel, after all, even crossing two worlds is impossible for him. Happened, self-taught a language is nothing.

So much so that now he is also self-taught in an unfamiliar script, and he is not surprised. Lu Mingfei also attributes it to time travel.
