Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

There were actually only two of them in the cinema, and there were very few staff members. The girl at the front desk, holding a hand warmer in her arms, sleepily scooped a large bucket of popcorn from an oversized container for Lu Mingfei, as well as an oversized cup of Coke that could be added with ice cubes upon request even in such weather. She slowly checked the tickets for the two of them and let them in.

But Lu Mingfei looked a little absent-minded.

Thinking about it carefully, I actually felt that the existence of Lord Nuwa was extremely terrifying. If she was really the Nuwa in ancient mythology, then this baby-faced Little Dragon Girl should actually be considered a thousand-year-old monster. And she also knew that Xia Mi's core was in Lu Mingfei's body. Would Xirang and the orthodox people use mortars to hit Odin hard after killing him?
There is also the soul of the White King who is suspected to still be living in Eri's body in a spiritual state. It is an ultimate creature from extremely ancient times. In fact, when Lu Mingfei took the initiative to embrace the Holy Remains and started the blood exchange ceremony with Eri, he should have realized that how could such a great creature so easily destroy its possibility of returning from the endless darkness?
The White Emperor is the controller of the spiritual elements in the world. It is easy for her to hide herself, and it is not difficult for her to discover the core hidden in Lu Mingfei's body.

It is still unclear whether this Supreme Being is a friend or an enemy, and she has always been a huge unstable factor in Eri's body, even a time bomb.

Similar things have happened countless times in novels. After the host becomes powerful, the old monster that has been lurking in the body will take over the host's body and be reborn to take over everything the host has.

Lu Mingfei couldn't calm down. When watching the movie, he only felt that the light and shadows were flowing and time was passing slowly. When the movie ended, he was also confused. Eri saw that he was worried, so she took out the lemon candy in her pocket and shared it with Lu Mingfei. The two of them ate the candy while walking downstairs staggering in the warm wind blown by the heating system.

Like two squirrels with nothing to do.

Downstairs of this cinema is a rather old cafe. It was lunch time so there were no customers in the store. The elegant proprietress in a floral plaid dress was eating hot white porridge with a plate of braised fennel beans. The proprietress greeted Lu Mingfei and Eri, who were walking down from the upstairs and passing by the cafe, and warmly invited them to stay and eat porridge together.

Eiry cautiously hid behind the boy, while Lu Mingfei smiled shyly and declined the proprietress's invitation.

But he suddenly froze.

A ray of sunlight shone in at a strange angle through the French window behind the proprietress, which was covered with thick mud-melted curtains, leaving a coin-sized spot of light on the elm floor.

Lu Mingfei realized that the heavy snow had stopped.

The anxiety that had just risen in his heart was slowly soothed by some magical power, just like the sea surface that was originally stirred up by the wind suddenly calmed down, and there was peace and silence.

Eri noticed where Lu Mingfei was looking and exclaimed, "It looks like gold..."

The spots of light coming through the window were indeed very similar to the spots left by melted gold splashing everywhere. Lu Mingfei nodded in agreement.

"In the anime, it's said that dragons love gold. Sister Nono told me that we are all descendants of dragons, so why don't we like that kind of thing?"

"Nonsense, I just like it..." Lu Mingfei said, "Your Highness, Princess, you don't know the sufferings of the world. I even want to sleep with gold in my arms."

"But I can explain to you scientifically why dragons like gold," Lu Mingfei said. "The textbook on dragon genealogy has some related content."

Whether in the East or the West, the ancients' sightings of dragons were mostly small creatures after the third generation, and those who happened to be in the dragon clan. Those who liked gold in civilization were also pure-blooded giants after the third generation.

"Most of the giant species after the third generation have a similar and fixed appearance, and the biggest feature is the wings folded behind their backs." Lu Mingfei said. Eri listened carefully, but her expression was confused.

When it was Genji Heavy Industries, the eight Snake families would not impart relevant knowledge to Eri. The family heads only cared about whether their weapons were still stable. As for the education issue, there would not be any big problem as long as it was not out of touch with the society of ordinary people.

So in fact, although Eri herself can be regarded as the core of a certain power struggle, she still knows almost nothing about creatures like dragons.

But now that she and Lu Mingfei are on the run, their road ahead is full of ups and downs. They might have to fight against pure-blooded dragons. It wouldn't be a bad thing to teach her some dragon knowledge and experience in daily life.

"As a huge creature that can fly, the basal metabolic rate of the third generation species must not be very low. From a physics point of view, it will be a huge problem for large creatures to dissipate heat under the limitation of their pitiful specific surface area, especially since the temperature of dragon blood is usually much higher than that of humans or any kind of bird. When flying, forced convection and the cold air at high altitudes will quickly take away the temperature of the dragon's surface, but dragons are extremely lazy creatures, so how to dissipate heat in the dormant state required for metabolism becomes a big problem."

Lu Mingfei bit the lemon candy between his teeth, making a crunching sound.

Eri also imitated him and broke the lemon candy into pieces.

"At least since records began, only the noble ancient species have the wealth and power to build palaces on their own fiefdoms that are warm in winter and cool in summer. The nests of the other three generations are not so comfortable. In this case, a large amount of gold can provide good thermal conductivity and a large enough heat conduction area. At the same time, the piled gold also has good drainage properties, which can prevent the precious alchemical materials in the nest from being scrapped due to moisture."

“I don’t quite understand…” Eiry made a silly expression on her face, and Lu Mingfei retreated tactically.

"I know a super delicious hotpot restaurant." He said after a while.

Eri tilted her head and looked up into the eyes of the man beside her: "Sakura was worried just now."

Lu Mingfei sighed and thought to himself that she had finally noticed it.

Girls' minds are much more delicate than boys'. Your girlfriend can notice any slight change in your emotions and respond accordingly, but your brothers will just treat you as a midnight emo and climb up to the upper bunk to take a look before going back to continue playing music and dancing.

"You don't have to worry about those things." Lu Mingfei said.

After hearing this, Eri seemed very unhappy and immediately pouted her lips.

"If it was Sister Xia Mi or Sister Nuonuo standing here, would you say the same to them?" Eiry suddenly stopped, and Lu Mingfei had already taken a step or two forward before he reacted. He turned his head to look at the girl's eyes, only to feel that they were sharper than ever before.

"No." Lu Mingfei stared at Huili's glasses for a moment and shook his head in answer.

He didn't want to lie, but the fact was that if it was Xia Mi or Nuonuo standing here, he would choose to tell them the truth. Perhaps it was the junior sister who used the authority of the king of the earth and the mountain as a sword to help Lu Mingfei eliminate the demons hiding in the shadows; or perhaps it was the senior sister who used the miracle of profile as an eye to help Lu Mingfei find the truth in all the confusion.

In contrast, although Eri possesses the power of the White King, it seems that she is still a vessel of the White Emperor; this girl also has no way of facing the problem of how they should deal with the situation if Wazhu and the native hybrids of this country become their enemies like the Secret Party.

Eri has always had the potential to become powerful, but she needs time to grow.

"Because Sakura always thinks that I am the one who needs to be protected, even though the safety of everyone in this city depends on my thoughts."

Lu Mingfei nodded: "Our life has been peaceful recently, but it is always like this before a storm... I hope you don't worry about the coming storm."

"But I don't want to be a burden to you. When you need me, I hope I can be a knife instead of a vase." Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment and said, "You are not a vase. Do you remember the second time we met at Genji Heavy Industries? You just threw a toothbrush and scared so many deadpools. At that time, I was thinking, could you be the ultimate weapon cultivated by the Eight Snake Families?"

"Later, the facts proved that I was indeed a weapon cultivated by the family as Sakura thought." Eri pouted and looked unhappy, "A weapon should always look like a weapon. Even if there is a day when it is hidden, it should be prepared to be unsheathed again."

She held her head high as she said this, her wine-red pupils full of seriousness, but those words were clearly meant to be spoken by a desperado.

But if you think about it carefully, they are now desperate criminals, moving forward without finding an end.

Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on Eri's head. He felt relieved, but he still wanted to let Eri know that he would always be the strongest wall in front of her no matter what.

But surprisingly, Eiry didn't move at all, as if the little bit of strength Lu Mingfei used on her had no effect at all.

What she meant was that Eri was already a strong enough girl, and Lu Mingfei should trust her just as he trusted Xia Mi and Nuonuo.

It seems that the girl is not going to give up on this matter.

"In my eyes, you have never been a weapon, but a living girl." Lu Mingfei still kept his hand on Eri's head, but he had completely restrained his strength.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried that you're scared. You used to be afraid that something strange would appear under your bed when you went to sleep."

"That's because my brother only let me sleep on tatami when I was at home." Eri pouted, she tilted her face up, and gently stroked Lu Mingfei's palm with her white and soft cheek, like a kitten being spoiled. She took a step forward, squeezed into Lu Mingfei's arms, turned around gorgeously, and hugged him.
"The book says that people in love should be each other's support. Please don't keep everything in your heart, okay? I'm worried about you." The girl's voice was soft and thin, but Lu Mingfei felt a slight sourness in his nose.

"I'll tell you after we get back to the hotel, okay? Let's go eat hotpot first." Lu Mingfei said.

In fact, Eri was right. They didn't have much time left to grow. The more they knew about the world in the dark, the higher their chances of surviving on the road to escape.

Eri nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's eat hotpot." The girl smiled like a flower and huddled in Lu Mingfei's arms, refusing to come out. "Hold me, hold me."

Lu Mingfei squatted down and picked up Huili by the waist. The girl let out a low cry of surprise, and the two of them started running in the grating of sunlight through the window panes.

.

The baby-faced girl huddled in the velvet duvet and yawned, her white, almost transparent snake tail dangling boredly at the foot of the bed.

Wa was holding a mobilization meeting before the war against Odin, but apparently she did not encounter many obstacles.

The country's mixed-race society has become a system of its own, and even its connection with the Camarilla and European mixed-races is very tenuous.

They have their own rules, such as the ancient code "The Law of the Twelve Golden Men of Qin" which corresponds to the Abrahamic Bloodline Covenant, and they also have their own jury, which is also called the Council of Elders.

When facing Odin, an obviously invasive species of foreign pure-blooded dragon, the old guys in the Elder Council showed unprecedented unity. All the key points have been opened one by one, and the government has also completed the arrangements as quickly as possible. When the encirclement and suppression begins, the city will be under martial law in the name of military exercises to prevent ordinary people from encountering the heroic spirits escaping from the Nibelungs.

The screen of the online meeting displayed on the mobile phone was divided into several small blocks, and an old man was sitting in each small block.

This is the Council of Elders among the local mixed-race people. They are led by orthodox family leaders in turn and control almost all the wealth in the country's shadow society.

They were arguing about something, the noise was so loud and noisy that it was difficult to calm down, but after Lord Wa yawned, the whole meeting fell silent.

"I don't care whether you plan to bring in tens of millions of tons of mercury to flood the Nibelung, or use the alchemical matrix to completely destroy its base, or transport a few nuclear bombs to carry out a subspace explosion. Now, come up with a plan immediately." Lord Wa gave the order coldly.

Despite such a condescending attitude, the old people were not angry at all, but instead looked respectful.

"The best option is to use nuclear weapons. Compared with the hybrids in the West, we have a natural advantage. That is, our country still stores powerful hydrogen bombs." said an old man.

Another old man agreed, "Besides, we haven't really destroyed the first generation's kingdom of the dead, so we're not sure whether the alchemical matrix and mercury can cause devastating damage to Odin's kingdom... In contrast, nuclear weapons can not only disrupt the elemental tides in that space with high temperatures and shock waves, but can also affect the ecological environment in the Nibelungen from a genetic level through nuclear radiation."

"How powerful are nuclear weapons?" asked Lord Wa.

"You were watching when the Soviets detonated the Tsar Bomb, the most powerful weapon in human history. If it exploded in the air, the fireball radius would reach 4.6 kilometers, and the power would be 5.4 times 10 to the 21st kilowatts. The power of the hydrogen bomb we can use is about one-tenth of Big Ivan's." said a young voice off the screen. It was a weapons expert attending the meeting.

"Speak human words!" Lord Wa's face was full of black lines.

The young man hesitated. “Do you know Neon Genesis Evangelion?” he asked.

"I've seen it, what's wrong with that? It's quite good." Lord Wa expressed her praise.

"The positron rifle inside that penetrates the Thunder Angel's AT force field has a power of 180 million kilowatts. If all the apostles and Adam were together, we could wipe them out with just one hydrogen bomb..."

"So powerful?" Wazhu was shocked and stood up, "Well, then, I decided to use the hydrogen bomb! Damn it, I have been chasing him for a hundred years, a hundred years! Finally, I got the chance!" (End of this chapter)
