Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 128 Gaotingen Family

Kassel Academy, in the attic of the church bell tower.

The 1952 classic western film "High Noon" is playing on the old TV. Law enforcement officer Jerry Guber is walking on the streets of a dusty western town with a gun in his hand.

Moviegoers were dressed similarly to Jerry Guber, wearing a plaid shirt, a roll-brimmed hat, and a pair of cowboy boots with shiny spurs.The old guy was lying on the sofa like a huge potato, with his feet raised high and a bottle of beer in his hand.

In front of the sofa is a table. The room is not dark, but there is a candle lit on the table.

"Hey, you really can't think about it again?" Angers sat on the other corner of the sofa, with a newspaper cushioned on the sofa - he always felt that this sofa was not very clean.

"I've said it all, don't think about it," the vice-principal flicked the brim of his hat, "It's not like you don't know that Flamel is a single disciple. In the words of Chinese martial arts novels, I have already accepted a closed disciple."

"Lu Mingfei is an S-level student." Ange argued.

"Don't say he is S-level, it doesn't matter even if he is SSS-level, the rules are like this," the vice-principal said, "You'd better go ask and discuss it with that little guy Elton. The Gaotingen family treats them Alchemy is not taken so seriously, besides, I remember that boy Elton also obtained the title of 'Grand Master' 15 years ago, right?"

"Can Elton's level of alchemy compare with yours?" Angers complained. "Besides, he can't protect himself now. He never knows when he will lose his temper. Last year, he passed his position as school director to the only one." granddaughter."

"Is his 'bone metalization' already that serious?" the vice principal was stunned.

"I heard that I can't move anymore," Angers said. "Is it so dangerous for you to practice alchemy? If an experiment fails, you may fall into a state of chronic death."

"That's because he is stupid. He actually used his own body to do an immature experiment," the vice-principal sneered. "The spirit of exploration is not the spirit of seeking death. When he dies, I wonder if the Gattuso family will focus on Gaotingen. Fatty.”

"His granddaughter Charlotte is still very talented. It is said that she can extract 'star antimony' on her own," Angers shook his head and said, "And the Gaotingen family is not a weak scholar. Don't forget that they also have a 'kingdom' knight'."

"So, the Gaotingen family is still very rich. Letting your S-class baby learn alchemy from them wouldn't be a wrong to him," Vice Principal Tu Qiongdeng saw and took the opportunity to refuse Ange's offer to teach him. Lu Mingfei's request, "And I heard that the granddaughter of that boy Elton is a beautiful girl who has not yet reached adulthood. Maybe your precious S-class can be a beauty?"

"It's better to stay away from the Gaotingen family. It's too short-lived," Angers complained. "None of the successive heads of the Gaotingen family and their partners can live to be 80 years old. Many people say this is alchemy. The curse of magic."

"Nonsense! How can there be any curse? If I live a few more years, two eighty-year-olds will be enough," the vice-principal said, "The people in Gao Tinggen's family are addicted to food and love to play, so every generation puts their own Play into it.”

Ange's eyes lit up: "You also said that they are addicted to food and cannot teach Ming Fei, so you have to do it!"

"I'm better at it!" the vice-principal said without hesitation.

Angers raised a middle finger.

……

Kassel College, Principal's Office.

"So, I want to study in a school director's family?" Lu Mingfei was full of questions, "And their family is in Europe?"

"It's just about getting on a plane every once in a while," Angers comforted, "and I haven't reached an agreement with them yet. Maybe not only the vice-principal doesn't want you, but the Gattingen family doesn't want you either?"

"You are really good at comforting people." Lu Mingfei said with empty eyes.

"Ahem, there is nothing we can do about it. The patriarch of the Gaotingen family suffered long-term physical injuries due to an accident in an alchemy experiment. He needs to rest quietly. Even the position of school director has been spread," Angers said, " I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to spare his energy to teach students.”

"It doesn't matter if he can't spare the energy," Lu Mingfei said, "Just give me a few more books to read."

With the blessing of the spirit of speech, unless the teacher can reach Tony's level, it won't really matter if someone teaches him. Reading books and self-study is enough.

"Then I'll try my best to discuss it with them, but don't put too much hope in it," Angers sighed, "The Gaotingen family is also a family of school directors. They have made great contributions in the entire development history of the Secret Party, and their influence is spread throughout the Secret Party. I can’t force them to do anything.”

Of course, it would be another matter if the vice-principal was willing to work as a lobbyist. What alchemist would dare not to give Teacher Flamel's face?

As for how to get that old lazy vice principal to help...

Angers was holding a cigar in his mouth, his eyes flashing - he remembered that the vice-principal also had a son who taught in the school.

"Principal, your eyes were so treacherous just now, like a villain, and you were also holding a cigar like the villain in the movie." Lu Mingfei complained at the side.

"Ahem," Angre coughed twice, "Let's not talk about it for now, how is your control of the Seal of Conquest?" "You are basically proficient," Lu Mingfei said.

Nearly half a month has passed since he came to the academy, and the Seal of Conquest has been conquered by him.

During this period, he also proved to Angers his "talent" in learning alchemy, so Angers will now try his best to help him find a teacher.

"Okay, then I will take you to contract the red dragon," Angers said. "It is now sealed in the 'ice cellar'. You cannot take it out of the ice cellar until it is completely under your control."

"Ice cellar?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Did you freeze it and preserve it?"

"No, the ice cellar is not a freezer, but a warehouse. A warehouse where the academy stores alchemy equipment, dangerous weapons and precious collections. It is the highest level of confidentiality in Kassel. Everyone who has been there must keep it strictly confidential," Ang Re explained, "There is a huge alchemical matrix inside, and all living dragon specimens are kept inside to prevent them from causing harm. They will only be taken out briefly after the researcher's research application is approved."

Lu Mingfei suddenly said: "Then how should we go?"

"Take the elevator," Angers said. "The ice cellar is deep underground, so it is safe enough."

"Let's go, principal, let's take the elevator." Lu Mingfei said expectantly.

"No, the elevator is right here." Angers put down the tea cup and gently pressed the red button hidden in the drawer.

"here?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt the seat and the entire floor shake slightly, and then he, Ange, the huge nanmu desk, and the hot black tea on the table fell into the boundless darkness.

"Holy crap! Principal, don't we need to add guardrails to our elevator?" Lu Mingfei realized then that the sofa he was sitting on was part of the elevator, and this elevator has no walls or ceiling, only the ground, and the ground covers less than half of the elevator. an office.

"A glass wall will be automatically wrapped around the elevator, otherwise the two of us will be drowned in the aftermath." In the darkness, Lyon's hot cigar butt flashed and extinguished.

Drunk chicken?What's the meaning?Lu Mingfei didn't understand.

The floor and table shook again, the speed slowly decreased, and finally the sinking stopped.Suddenly lights lit up in all directions. Lu Mingfei raised his head and saw a huge lop-headed shark.

It's not just the huge hammerhead shark. To his left, you can see lazy sea turtles, and to his right, there are bluefin tuna with a body length of more than two meters, swimming around his huge school of mackerel at high speed, and you can't see anywhere. Not the rippling light and shadow of the water.

"This is our fish tank," Angers explained. "We are in the underwater channel below the fish tank."

"Fish... fish tank?" Lu Mingfei's head was full of questions, "Aren't we going to the ice cellar? Why are we in the fish tank? And why is there a fish tank here?"

The "elevator" suddenly began to move, not up and down, but sliding sideways, breaking through the swarm of mackerel. The hammerhead sharks and turtles were indifferent to the movement of this glass house, and they were probably used to it.

"Various marine animals are fed in the fish tank. This is the gene bank of the college. Studying dragons requires a large number of genetic samples for comparison." Angers explained, "Of course the fish tank is only a part of this underground space. The ice cellar we are going to is far away from here. There is still some distance to go, and this underground space is very huge, almost equal to the above-ground area of ​​the college."

"Damn! It's too extravagant." Lu Mingfei was really shocked this time. In his impression, not even Tony had ever undertaken such an extravagant project.

Of course, he was going to go back and propose to Tony that it would be fun to have a party in a vast man-made underground space.

"Is it luxurious? But this is one of the very few facilities that all school directors agree on. For an organization like the college, this kind of facility is necessary. We have too many things that need to be put under the ground."

"You've never seen those deans, right? For an ordinary college, it's unbelievable that deans don't show up on campus, but at Kassel College, the real job of deans is research. Their laboratories are all underground. There are also Norma's mainframes, heavy experimental equipment, and even a subway leading outside!" Angers said proudly, "This underground space combines electronic, mechanical and alchemical technology, and there are no humans. Can invade here."

"So...dragons can do that?" Lu Mingfei caught the blind spot.

Ange was stunned and a little embarrassed, "Dragons have never invaded, but we have found mice here... I don't know how they crawled in."

"It's not reliable at all!" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Maybe there are dragons that can invade this underground space, but they can never invade the ice cellar," Angers said. "The ice cellar contains an alchemy field created by the vice-principal himself. It uses [-] tons of mercury solution as the driving force. In theory, Even if the next generation is involved, it will be difficult.”

"What if it's the first generation?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

Ange looked embarrassed: "That should be difficult to stop."
