Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 363 Heading to Japan
Kassel College, in Lu Mingfei's bedroom.

After taking back the Silver Oak Sword, Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought.

According to Hermes, the other two dark monarchs must have been frightened because of his death. To be safe, they will definitely spend some time nurturing a giant and complete dragon body. They will rush to Japan immediately after the dragon body is complete. It is very likely that Odin has been lurking in Japan for a long time, waiting for an opportunity.

To be fair, Lu Mingfei was not afraid of the so-called "army that could rival the full authority of a Dragon King" in Helheim. He did not doubt that the army of the undead made of the descendants of the White King and created by the alchemy of the Black King himself could defeat a complete monarch, but... even if they could rival a complete monarch, they did not seem that strong?
Hermes fought with a half-dragon body, but he was able to seize control of the "second largest alchemical matrix in the world" in the ice cellar and turn it into his own power. According to his confession during the interrogation, except for the Norton brothers who could take away the blessing of the alchemical matrix on him, and Fenrir who had the strongest individual power and could defeat him, the rest of the monarchs, as long as they were also half-dragon bodies, could not be stronger than him - like Jörmungandr's level, he was even confident that he could kill him directly.

Moreover, he had seen the scene of Norton fighting with Huangdi's army in Norton's memory before. At that time, Norton was still a giant dragon in his prime, and in his current opinion, he was not a strong enemy.

Inferring from this perspective, no matter how much he overestimates the complete Dragon King, a complete monarch would hardly bring him much pressure.

But... he was quite afraid of Odin.

Judging from the current situation, Odin's threat is far greater than that of any other monarch, let alone a dark monarch like Hermes.

What is certain now is that Odin, through a very long period of planning, killed Norton and Constantine twice in a row, then emptied their Nibelungen, learned a lot of alchemy from them, and devoured Li Wuyue, one of the Kings of Sky and Wind - and Lu Mingfei has reason to suspect that with Odin's cunning style, the other twin king of sky and wind may have been devoured by him.

Moreover, Odin has set his sights on Japan. Lu Mingfei suspects that he may not only care about that legion, but also the White King himself. Although there is no conclusive evidence, through the murals he saw in the Sheqi Eight Families before, Lu Mingfei has reason to suspect that the Sheqi Eight Families are related to the White King, and even have a way to resurrect the White King.

Xia Mi and Hermes currently don’t know about the matter of the White King and the Eight Snake Clans, but Lu Mingfei is not sure whether Odin knows about it - after all, given Odin’s mysteriousness and insidiousness, this possibility is not impossible.

A guy who most likely possesses the authority and power of a complete monarch, with alchemy skills comparable to those of the Bronze and Fire Kings, and who is currently eyeing the world's strongest army of the dead, and even the uncaptured White King...

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think of what Xia Mi said - she said she was the smartest Dragon King. Now it seems that this title is likely to change hands.

So he had to go to Japan.

The two dark side monarchs were not to be feared, but Odin was definitely the most dangerous dragon he had ever encountered, even far surpassing Norton and Shami!

But what reason should he use to go to Japan?
The Japanese branch has a very high degree of independence in both the secret party and the academy systems, and the relationship can even be said to be close to that of a cooperative ally, except that the Snake Eight Families have a lower status in this cooperation.

Under such circumstances, the college and the Sheqi Eight Families actually don't have too many normal channels of intersection. Every year, there are just a few high-blooded exchange students from the Sheqi Eight Families who study in the college for a few years, and then take back a bunch of excellent transcripts, and then there is no news from them.

Therefore, if he wants to go to the Japanese branch, he must apply to the principal in order to have an official identity representing the college.

So what reason should I use to apply to the principal?
Lu Mingfei stroked his chin. How about just writing that he suspected that the Japanese branch had been infiltrated by dragons, and went over to clean it up himself? Anyway, Japan was not trustworthy, and this had long been the consensus of the academy's top management.

……

Because Hermes said that the two dark monarchs would definitely cultivate a giant dragon body before going to Japan, so they would not go too early - even if they were the first generation, it would take some time to cultivate a complete dragon body.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei did not immediately go to the principal to apply to go to Japan. After all, after the incident where Hermes caused a scene in the ice cellar, the principal and vice-principal were also very busy.

At least the principal had to debate with many scholars just to figure out how to respond to questions from other families such as "Why is the Dragon Bone Cross fake, Angers? Who are you guarding against?"

And the vice-principal...he was busy repairing the ice cellar.

In order to make the show complete, the precious collections in the ice cellar were not moved in advance. In the great battle with Hermes, countless alchemical items were damaged, and the alchemical matrix itself was also overloaded by Hermes and severely damaged.

Only Chief Beowulf knows little about politics and has no knowledge of alchemy, so he becomes the most idle one among the three. He only trains new recruits as the specially appointed chief instructor of the executive department and observes whether there are any dragon undercovers among the new recruits he trains.

During this period, to Lu Mingfei's surprise, Senior Brother Chu's father woke up early.

According to his and the doctor's observations, Senior Brother Chu's father was seriously overdrawn. Although his life was not in danger, it would take a long time for him to recover and wake up.

But perhaps because his willpower was too strong, Chu Tianjiao woke up ahead of time even though his body was still in an extremely weak state.

Although he was still very weak, had difficulty speaking and was almost unable to move, he was basically conscious - although only for about two hours a day.

What was even more unexpected to Lu Mingfei was that now that Chu Tianjiao had woken up, he no longer needed to find an excuse to go to Japan.

……

Kassel College, in the intensive care unit.

Ange and Lu Mingfei stood beside Chu Tianjiao's bed.

Chu Tianjiao at this moment was even thinner than when he had just been rescued from the Nibelung. He looked skin and bones, almost unrecognizable. But in fact, this was just his body adjusting itself, and his physical condition was recovering steadily.

Now is the third day since Chu Tianjiao woke up.

Although there were many important things to ask, the principal was not an inhuman dragon-slaying machine after all. On the first day Chu Tianjiao woke up, in addition to meeting his son, the doctor spent most of the time personally examining him and adjusting his treatment and rehabilitation plan based on Chu Tianjiao's answers.

The next day, most of the time was devoted to the reunion between Senior Brother Chu and Chu Tianjiao, father and son, so that the two of them could get along well.

Although he didn't know what Senior Brother Chu had said to his father, Lu Mingfei, who was waiting at the door of the intensive care unit, was very sure that there were traces of tears on Senior Brother Chu's face when he came out.

But Senior Brother Chu denied it.

It is worth mentioning that when Chu Tianjiao woke up, the first person he saw was neither his biological son nor the doctor or nurse, but Xia Mi - because during the time he was unconscious, the "warm-hearted" Xia Mi and Senior Brother Chu took turns to take care of him by his bed.

When Chu Tianjiao woke up, it was the time when Xia Mi was accompanying him.

Of course, Lu Mingfei didn't believe that Xia Mi would do anything to Chu Tianjiao, because when Xia Mi asked to help take care of Senior Brother Chu, he specifically grabbed Xia Mi and used the Silver Oak Sword to test her lies. After confirming that she had no ill will towards Senior Brother Chu's father, he agreed to let her help take care of Senior Brother Chu.

"Principal..." Chu Tianjiao was lying on the bed, his voice a little hoarse, but his tone was quite relaxed, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. Have you become younger? Remember to pay me the salary for the past few years."

"It's good enough that I was pissed off to death by the old guys in the Elders' Council, and I'm getting younger." Angers shook his head, "Your salary has long been transferred to your previous card."

"Hit my son's card." Chu Tianjiao said.

"Okay, okay," Ange rolled his eyes, "The doctor said you should talk less and rest more now, so let's get down to business."

"I found clues about Odin. For many years, the academy only knew this name. Not only was it not certain what it was, it was not even certain whether it existed..." Chu Tianjiao paused, took a breath and said, "But now I can be sure that he exists, and he is the Dragon King! But he has long been out of China. The Nibelungen is just a cover-up, not his real base. His real purpose is probably in... Japan."

"Japan?" Angé was stunned.

"Yes, Japan, because I found out that there has been news from Japan to the 18th-tier town where I live," Chu Tianjiao said, "The news has been passed on for more than 20 years without interruption... I can't find out who the source of the news is, but it must be the Eight Clans of Sheqi..."

"The Eight Snake Clan..." Angers frowned, "What is the message they are delivering?"

"Most of the news is so old that there are only traces but no content," said Chu Tianjiao, "There are only two valid pieces of information I can find. One is that the source of the news has been using Odin to do some kind of dragon genetic engineering, and the other is that they are all looking for something called 'holy relics' or 'divine relics.'" "Holy relics? Divine relics?" Angé was confused. These two words were too vague. They were like some kind of metaphor or reference that could lead to countless images. Even in the alchemy system, they could represent many completely different meanings.

Lu Mingfei's heart was slightly moved - if he thought in the way of drawing a bull's eye along the arrow, knowing that the Eight Clans of Sheqi had some connection with the White King, he had to associate the words "holy bones" and "divine bones" with the White King.

After all, the term "God's Skeleton" is used by both Odin and Japanese information sources. In the world of hybrids, the concept of "God" may be vague, but in the world of dragons, the only ones who can be called "God" are the Black King and the White King, right?

"I've said it before, the Sheqi Eight Clan is not trustworthy. Their patriarch is a very difficult guy. Under his leadership, the Sheqi Eight Clan has grown stronger and stronger. It will sooner or later turn against the academy, and even become a scourge to the world like it did seventy years ago." Chu Tianjiao looked at Angers, "Principal, if you had listened to me, we would have teamed up to go to Japan more than twenty years ago. Even if we can't destroy the Sheqi Eight Clan, we should at least clip their wings and not let them grow to where they are now."

"It's not as simple as you think. The situation at that time was very complicated, and the Eight Snake Clans are far from being as simple as they seem..." Angers shook his head, "But now it seems that you were right. If I had been able to accept your advice twenty years ago and call Beowulf along, the three of us together, maybe..."

"It's not too late."

"Hmm?" Angé and Chu Tianjiao looked at Lu Mingfei who was speaking at the same time.

"I think it's not too late now," Lu Mingfei said, "Why don't I go to Japan and see what the Eight Snake Clans are up to. If they really have some shameful deal with Odin or other dragons..."

Lu Mingfei stretched out a hand and made a "cut" gesture.

“Young man, you’re going alone?” Chu Tianjiao was stunned. “I was already arrogant enough when I was young, and you’re even more arrogant than me. You’re able to rescue me from the Nibelungs, so your strength is unquestionable. But don’t underestimate the Japanese mixed-bloods. They…”

Angers interrupted Chu Tianjiao and looked at Lu Mingfei: "Okay, Mingfei, I'll leave it to you. I grant you the highest authority in the executive department. You will go to Japan on my behalf. Professor Schneider will cooperate with all your actions. You must find out what the Eight Snake Qi Families are doing! In addition, as long as it does not affect ordinary people, you can make your own decisions on how to deal with the Eight Snake Qi Families when necessary, and you don't have to report the decision to the academy."

"Yes!" Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Principal?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Ange in confusion, not understanding what he was up to. He raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Ming Fei, saying, "He hasn't graduated yet, he's just a child..."

"It's okay," Angé patted Chu Tianjiao's shoulder and reassured him, "Ming Fei can handle it."

Chu Tianjiao: ???

……

The next day, the ultra-long-range "passenger plane" "Gulfstream G550" that had been modified by the Equipment Department and was bound for Japan flew through the sea of ​​clouds at night, its wings drawing milky white tracks in the sky.

"Brother, do we have to take this plane?" Xia Mi sat next to Chu Zihang, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands, "Can't we change to a gentler plane? I'm airsick..."

She took this plane when she was going from China to the college not long ago. She vomited as soon as she got off the plane. Her performance this time was not much better, especially since they had to fly from Chicago to Japan, which was also a long journey. Fortunately, they finally made it to the destination.

"If you want to vomit, just vomit." Chu Zihang took a vomit bag and handed it to Xia Mi.

"Thank you, Brother... Ugh..."

Lu Mingfei watched Xia Mi perform alone with an expressionless face.

Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting next to Lu Mingfei, was a little surprised: "The equipment department actually prepared vomit bags in the plane. Don't they never care about the life and death of the passengers?"

"I bought this at the school store before I boarded the plane," Chu Zihang said, "Do you need it?"

"I don't need it," Lu Mingfei shook his head. "I modified this plane. How could I get dizzy from my own plane?"

Besides, this thing doesn't fly as fast as Tony's suit.

"I don't need it either. I don't get airsick." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head.

Chu Zihang nodded and prepared to put away the vomit bag - he didn't need it himself.

"Wait a minute," the driver's cab, which had been renovated by the equipment department, was separated from the passenger compartment by only a door, and it was not soundproof. "Hey, bro outside, could you please get me a vomit bag?"

Chu Zihang’s hands froze.

Xia Mi, who was vomiting while holding a paper bag, suddenly looked up.

Su Xiaoqiang stopped fixing her hair.

“Oh my god!” Lu Mingfei almost jumped up from his seat, staring at the door of the cab and shouting, “Brother inside, you won’t get airsick, will you?!”

"A little bit. What's wrong?" the person in the cab replied.

"What's wrong? Aren't you the driver?" Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched.

"Just kidding, I don't get airsick."

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I ate some mushrooms in the cafeteria today, and the mushrooms didn't seem to be cooked thoroughly. I've been feeling a bit nauseous," said the driver.

Lu Mingfei:...

Chu Zihang:......

The door of the cab opened and Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walked in.

"Huh? Are there two of you coming together to deliver it? It's just a vomit bag, you're so polite." The driver felt a little embarrassed.

"Get down, I'll drive." Lu Mingfei covered his face and patted the driver's shoulder.

"How can this be so embarrassing?" The driver scratched his head.

"If you know you're sorry, then don't eat anything that might be poisonous before carrying out a mission!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

"This is an accident. I've eaten those mushrooms many times and nothing has happened. Maybe the canteen didn't cook them well this time," the driver sighed as he looked at the sea of ​​clouds flowing in the night sky. "Alas... I might really have been poisoned by the mushrooms. I'm seeing hallucinations."

"Is your hallucination a few anti-aircraft missiles flying over from the one o'clock direction?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yeah...how do you know it's my hallucination?" The driver was stunned.

"Because it's not an illusion," Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes, "I guess this is the Japanese branch's unique 'welcome method'."
