Chapter 382 Miskatonic University
Author: Youjiu L
Although the destination was Innsmouth, it was impossible not to meet the Windsor school director.
If we can't find the place this time, we will need her help later.
To Lu Mingfei's surprise, the meeting place was not London, but Birmingham.
There seems to be a tacit understanding among these school directors not to stay in the capital.
But Birmingham is also good. It is the second largest city in the UK and has the largest young population in Europe.
This is particularly rare in an increasingly aging Europe.
Although most of this young population are immigrants and descendants of immigrants.
In order for Lu Mingfei to experience the authentic old British Zhengbo style, the Windsor family booked the top floor of the Paradise Hotel in Birmingham for them.
This five-storey hotel is located in the heart of the old town, next to Birmingham Cathedral.
Founded in 1913, it has hosted nobles and elites from various countries many times.
Although it is no longer as majestic as it was yesterday, the foundation is still there.
If the Windsor family had not come forward, they would not have agreed to a group of young people from the nouveau riche occupying the next floor.
"Why don't you have that?"
Eriki shook her little head and looked around.
"Eriyi, what are you looking for?"
Yuan Jingnu asked funnyly.
"Brother, I'm looking for the one where many fish are looking at you."
Hui Liyi gestured.
"That one is called looking up at the stars, I'm looking for it too."
The fifth month smiled.
British cuisine is very popular in the entire European food world, and looking up at the stars is a particularly dark aspect of British dark cuisine.
It is actually a kind of bread, but it is filled with sardines.
More than a dozen sardine heads look up at the sky. When you stare at it, you will feel that it is staring at you too.
How should I put it? It’s a dish with a lot of soul.
"We usually don't eat that in the morning, and of course not many eat that in the evening."
The Windsor school director blinked.
"Try these. Although we are indeed a food desert compared to China, the breakfast is still good."
She waved and the waiter brought the dining cart.
Sausages, bacon, toast, fried eggs, mushrooms, fried tomatoes and of course fish and chips.
Although it is not exquisite, it is full of protein and carbohydrates and can still reach the bottom of the stomach.
“It tastes very energetic.”
Lu Mingfei made a fair evaluation.
"Classmate Lu's evaluation is as accurate as your gun."
The Windsor school director responded politely.
Fingel, who was biting the blood sausage, looked strange when he heard this, and he didn't know what rude thing he thought of.
The white-gloved butler behind her twitched his eyes slightly, but remained silent.
"What do you think of Birmingham, Mr. Lu?"
the girl school director asked.
“A city where vitality and simplicity coexist.”
Lu Mingfei thought for a while and said.
They entered the old city from the new city, from the large steel-framed factories to the two-story Victorian buildings, as if they had completed a journey through time.
"My family came here during the Plantagenet Dynasty to help the people here resist attacks by bandits, mercenaries, rogue knights, hybrids and dragons."
Windsor introduced the history of his family with a tone full of pride.
The butler behind her also raised his head slightly. Although his surname was not Windsor, his ancestors were also among the knights who followed the ancestors of the Windsor family.
"We helped Charles I defeat Saladin. He was a resurrected second-generation species and should belong to the lineage of kings of earth and mountains."
Saladin, an outstanding military and political leader in the medieval Muslim world, devoted his life to resisting the European Crusades and successfully recovered Jerusalem. He was the main villain in many medieval novels.
Chu Zihang glanced at Xia Mi calmly, and it turned out that this Arab national hero was her subordinate.
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him and looked at the hammer. She was not awake at that time.
She has so many men, who knows who this Saladin is.
Moreover, it was so embarrassing to be defeated by the human army, even if she knew about it, she didn't want to admit it.
“Then we helped King Philip II of France defeat Charles I’s brother John.”
Windsor didn't notice their little movements and continued.
"Why, aren't you in the same group?"
asked in May.
"After John inherited the throne, he wanted to subdue the big nobles, but he was not strong enough, so he secretly cultivated an army of deadpools, hoping to dominate Europe. The Windsor family could not allow this to happen, so they helped Philip II
Shi defeated him and forced him to sign the Magna Carta of Liberty, which prohibited the royal family from using dangerous alchemical techniques."
Windsor explained.
"Sounds pretty awesome."
Thumbs up for May.
Being praised so straightforwardly, the girl school director seemed even happier, her two big eyes flashing like a young deer.
The old housekeeper frowned, but didn't say anything.
Although these people behave a little rudely, their words and deeds are frank and sincere.
It’s rare for a young lady to have such an opportunity to chat casually with her peers, so let her relax.
"The Windsor family has always hoped to completely eliminate the dragon clan and make the world truly belong to humans. And classmate Lu is the perfect candidate to carry the banner of dragon slaying. We hope to have more in-depth cooperation with you."
Windsor extended an olive branch to Lu Mingfei.
Although the Windsor family is one of the school directors, they do not account for a large proportion of Kassel's power.
At least, they don't have much say in core departments like the Equipment Department.
Lu Mingfei has a close relationship with the Equipment Department, and everyone in Kassel knows this.
As long as they can get his support, the Windsor family can open a gap.
"It's too late for you to bet."
Lu Mingfei raised his head and said bluntly.
If the Windsor family could support him when he first formed the war group, then he would at least throw some bait first.
But now that Lu Mingfei has the support of Angers and Elizabeth internally, and the allegiance of the Japanese branch externally, the Windsor family's overtures become less important.
His lack of concealment made the school director a little angry, and her delicate little face turned red.
The old housekeeper patted her shoulder blade and shook his head.
Windsor took a deep breath and suppressed all the messy emotions.
It was difficult, so tears could be seen faintly in her eyes.
"I would like to ask Captain Lu Mingfei, what does the Windsor family have to pay to get the opportunity to place bets?"
she asked in a trembling tone.
"Find Innsmouth."
Lu Mingfei replied immediately.
"We have tried hard and even consulted professors in history, geography, and religion from several prestigious universities. None of them have heard of this term."
Windsor explained.
The famous schools she was talking about were naturally Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, etc. The University of Birmingham was not even ranked.
“What about folklore?”
Chu Zihang suddenly said.
He is quite interested in folk culture from all over the world because he feels that there are clues to the Nibelungs hidden in it.
"folklore?"
Windsor was stunned, she really hadn't thought of this.
"Is there any university in China that offers folklore courses?"
She turned to ask the housekeeper.
"Miss, please allow me to take my leave first."
The old housekeeper went out for a while and then came back in.
"The university with the most in-depth study of folklore in China is."
He opened the tablet in his hand, and the school emblem consisting of a shield, books and candles appeared on it.
"Miskatonic University."
