Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 177 Excalibur
"These are Holy Relic No. I12 and Holy Relic No. I13." Manstein looked at the big screen together. I12 was the giant sword, and I13 was the armor.

The students in the preparatory class, who had been unusually calm at the previous school assembly, could not help but exclaim in amazement, because these things were too huge and too strange at the same time.

The handle of the giant sword was already rotten, and the blade was black and covered with dirt. But the sharpness of the blade was chilling even through the screen.

The armor was also broken and rotten, with stains all over it. The head of the armor was missing, and there was a wing-like decoration on the collar, which was also decayed. The breastplate and back armor were almost pierced through, and there were crystal golden spots on the wound, like some solidified liquid, or like the remnants of paint.

The inside of the armor is empty and badly decayed. Some structure can be seen between the gaps of the armor plates, but it is also decayed and cannot be confirmed. The remaining surface of the armor gives us a glimpse of its splendor when it was intact, which is so gorgeous that it does not seem like something that should exist in the human world.

With its huge size, it looks like a medieval handicraft guarding both sides of the church.

If that alone wasn't enough to amaze people, it would be another matter if they were too huge. Not counting the rotten hilt, the blade of the huge black sword alone was taller than an adult. It was hard to imagine what kind of being could wield such a huge sword.

Its blade gleamed with a strange cold light, and the more you looked at it, the stranger it seemed. If you looked closely, you would find that it might be a giant battle axe. But if you looked at it again, you would think it was a spear for throwing. In short, it was very contradictory.

The huge armor was even more exaggerated. Its size did not seem to be prepared for humans. Lucrecia's Seraph armor was only small in front of it.

Lu Mingfei stared at the armor and felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Xia Mi, who was sitting in the front row, had her hair standing up. She immediately raised her hand and asked, "Wait! I have a question. Why is it called a holy relic?"

Manstein pushed his monocle and replied, "This is the name given by the Equipment Department, and it was approved by the higher-ups. I have a strong feeling that they were influenced by some anime. They even wanted to name I12 Excalibur."

"Excalibur? Holy Sword of the Lake?" Xia Mi's eyes lit up. "So, the owner of that armor is the Knight King Arthur Pendragon! That's a real holy relic! If I draw a card in front of it, can I get Snorlax?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know who King Arthur is, but they have nothing to do with the legend of King Arthur. The I in front of these two relics is the abbreviation of Italiana, because they were both unearthed in Italy." Manstein answered, and then he subconsciously looked at the two students from Italy in the auditorium.

This sight instantly made him furious: "Lucrecia Gattuso! What are you doing with a cup of coffee?"

Lucrecia, who was called by him, took a sip of the delicate little cup and said, "Please forgive me, Professor, I am Italian. If I don't drink a cup of coffee in the morning, I may not be energetic for the whole day."

"Then can you tell me! What's the matter with those snacks?" Manstein's glasses were crooked with anger.

At Lucrecia's table, Patsy kept bringing out snacks. Cakes, puddings, chocolates, it looked like a small tea party. I don't know where Patsy, who only brought a small bag, got the coffee and food from.

Lucrecia said in surprise: "Isn't it common sense to drink coffee with dessert?" In the end, this little classroom farce ended with Lucrecia saying that she would share the dessert with other students. It is worth mentioning that no one dared to accept it due to Professor Manstein's cannibalistic gaze.

Xia Mi was really greedy, but she looked at Chu Yuwei who had no expression on her face beside her, and indignantly rejected the plate brought by Patsy... It would have been better if she wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Finally, Patsy came to Lu Mingfei, put down the plate, and looked at him silently with a dignified smile.

Lu Mingfei also looked at her silently, then glanced at Manstein who looked like he was about to eat someone. Finally, he turned around and looked at Lucrecia who was smiling at him in the corner, making a gesture to him to have some food.

Lu Mingfei sighed silently and picked up the fork beside the plate. Don't get me wrong, he didn't think it was bad to embarrass Lucrecia alone, he just wanted to eat alone. Lucrecia's special snacks were amazing in both price and taste!
It was not a pleasant feeling to be watched by a bunch of people while eating, but who was Lu Mingfei? Even before he was found by that lousy plan, his thick skin was already shameful. Anyway, there were many strange people in this academy, and one more of him would not make a difference.

After the meal, Patsy thoughtfully brought a cup of coffee, not much, just enough to drink in one gulp. Lu Mingfei drank it without thinking, but he regretted it as soon as the coffee went into his mouth. He suddenly remembered that Italian coffee does not have any ingredients, and it is a strong coffee with as little water as possible!

When Lu Mingfei was choking on his coffee, the clinking sound of knives and forks from behind helped him attract Manstein's murderous gaze.

Lu Mingfei also looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Qian smiling awkwardly at them in a corner, and Chen Motong eating snacks leisurely beside her. The two of them were in a slightly off position, so Lu Mingfei didn't notice them at first glance when he came in just now.

Chen Motong put down his knife and fork, returned the plate to Patsy who came to reclaim it, and silently looked at Manstein, whose head was bulging with veins and looked like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"...Forget it, let's continue the class." Unexpectedly, Manstein waved his hand, and the matter was over!
"Where were we just talking about... Oh, Italy." Manstein returned to the computer. He glanced at Lu Mingfei, then at Lucrecia. "Half a year ago, Dean Lu of the Department of Paleontology was invited by the school director Pompeii to go to Italy and excavate them in the suburbs of Florence."

"Wait, why don't I know?" Lucrecia suddenly raised her hand.

Lu Mingfei nodded and raised his hand in his mind. He didn't know. But he felt that these two people were not discussing normal things together.

Manstein adjusted his glasses and looked at Lucrecia, who had not listened to the lecture, rather coldly: "Which one do you mean? The visit or I12 and I13?"

"Both," Lucrecia said, her azure eyes fixed on the giant sword on the screen.

Even though the entire sword was obscured by stains and could not be seen clearly, she still recognized the sword. This sword had appeared in the original weapon drawings of the Seraph.
