After receiving the news, a trace of disappointment inevitably flashed in Chen Wenwen's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Lu Mingfei."
The boy waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was nothing.
"My family has come to pick me up. I have to leave first. See you tomorrow."
In the middle of the asphalt road in the neighborhood, a low-key and calm silver-gray Passat car drove slowly and stopped on the side of the road.
The driver opened the door, and Chen Wenwen waved to Lu Mingfei one last time, then obediently sat in the back seat of the car with her homework book in hand. The Passat slowly turned around and headed towards the city's most prosperous CBD area.
The boy, who looked a little lonely, tightened his schoolbag on his shoulders, kicked pebbles one after another, and walked on the path he had passed countless times.
Lu Mingfei never felt that this scenic pedestrian street had anything to do with him. No matter how comfortable and high-end it was, he was just a passerby.
The classmates envied Lu Mingfei very much. After all, he was the only one who could play wildly without any parents picking him up after school.
In fact, Lu Mingfei was not as cool as they thought. He usually just went to the Internet cafe to sit for two hours, then went home, climbed to the small and quiet rooftop, blew in the cool breeze, and looked at this lonely city.
It's just that the situation when I got home today was a little different.
Lu Mingfei opened his laptop as usual, logged into QQ, and found Lao Tang's message.
"Obviously, when I arrived in Binhai, I stayed at the Lemon Express Hotel on Changfu Road."
The image of a cheap panda burning incense is simply a generation’s nightmare.
"Changfu Road?"
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment.
It's on the edge of the business district. Although the Lemon Hotel is not a high-end luxury five-star hotel, it is still a low-key and comfortable three-star hotel. Generally, people who don't have a lot of money will not rent such a suite.
Judging from Old Tang's reluctance to recharge when he usually plays games, and the information I got by chance from chatting with him, this guy was obviously a pauper in the past. He has obviously become rich recently.
"Okay, it happens to be the weekend tomorrow. I will go find you then and take you to visit our seaside."
Old Tang always told him on the game chat channel that if he came to the United States to study, he would take him on a Greyhound bus to travel around the United States during the summer vacation. If nothing else, he would have enough hot dogs.
Unexpectedly, before I decided to study abroad, Old Tang returned to China first. Then it was time for me to fulfill my duty as a landlord.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's unexplained disappointment immediately disappeared. He planned to use this weekend to take Old Tang to the coastal area to appreciate the local customs and taste the local snacks.
In the sunset sky outside the window in the distance, goshawks sang loudly and hovered high above this coastal city.
The handsome young man was holding an exquisite jade cup and took a sip of tea, the light fragrance lingering on his tongue.
Looking down from the rooftop of Li's Heavy Industry, every building is as small as a needle. As for the surging flow of people below, it looks even smaller than ants.
The old man with white hair and orange skin is still dressed as a Taoist priest, with a green jade hairpin inserted into his bun, and his cloud-white robe is spotless.
The old man was sitting on the rooftop where the chessboard was arranged. He held white in his left hand and black in his right hand. His moves were back and forth, and the situation on the chessboard was complicated.
Anyone who knows a little bit about chess can see that White is at a passive disadvantage and is surrounded by black stones.
"What did you gain from this trip to Kassel College?"
The old man, who lowered his head and was seriously playing a game with himself, suddenly asked a question, the chess pieces in his hands rubbing and spinning like two iron galls.
The young man who was watching the city scenery with his back turned around, somewhat casually.
"This time we met a lot of people. There are Caesar and Minamoto who were mentioned by my grandfather, and Kazama Ruri who was not mentioned by my grandfather. They are all good opponents."
"It seems that you have fought against them all?"
Li Chengqian's back was hunched, like a candle swaying in the wind, but his cloudy eyes still had a sparkle.
"Um."
The young man nodded silently.
"It seems that they all won."
The old man pressed the button again, but his words did not reveal satisfaction or relief, just plain.
"I tried my best to deal with the dragon waiter hidden on the Yangtze River."
Li Yongyuan replied that he knew he still had a long way to go. For the vigorous and fierce dragon warriors, the power of hybrids was undoubtedly weak, let alone the Dragon King who would awaken in the future.
"It seems I need to tell you something."
The old man stared at the young man in front of him seriously, and then spoke after a while.
Li Longyuan looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, standing silently aside.
"Do you know who our orthodox real opponent has always been?"
Li Chengqian's words immediately stirred up a storm in Li Longyuan's heart. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man.
"No, Dragon Clan?"
Li Yongyuan asked.
The old man smiled and shook his head slowly.
"is God!"
"For now, it's the God King Odin."
Every word Li Chengqian said now was no less than a bombshell exploding in Li Longyuan's heart. He never knew it, and he had never read it in an orthodox library.
It sounds ridiculous that a god-king from Nordic myths and legends could be the biggest enemy of orthodoxy...
"Odin, isn't he a legendary figure?"
Li Yongyuan must take the opportunity to ask questions in his heart.
"Isn't Nidhogg also a legendary guy? Do you doubt its existence?"
The old man asked back with a smile.
If the Dragon King Nidhogg, the source of the entire hybrid race and dragons, is real, then it would be reasonable to have an extra god-king Odin.
"Do you know Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao, a former S-level student at Kassel College?"
Li Chengqian changed his mind again to better explain his words.
"I know. After arriving at the academy, senior brother tried many ways to check his father's information, but in the end there was no news."
Li Longyuan once wondered about this matter.
"It's very simple, because all his deeds have been erased, a lot of information has been deleted, and even the memories of ordinary people have been modified."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Chengqian said something simply shocking in a very plain tone.
"How is it possible that such a thing could happen?"
Li Yongyuan murmured in a low voice. This matter is really too bizarre.
He would not ask his grandfather how he knew about Chu Tianjiao and his deeds.
Because his grandfather was also mysterious in his eyes.
"The person who erased all the information about Chu Tianjiao is Odin."
Li Chengqian connected them in one sentence. Only the authority of gods possesses such shocking power.
"Every time Odin appears in the world, our orthodox people will pursue clues. The last time he appeared was on the viaduct on the seaside, three years ago."
"It makes sense, this explanation makes sense."
Li Longyuan thought to himself. No wonder he always felt that there was a reason why Chu Zihang kept his ice face. It was like he was hiding something deep and deep in his heart, and every time he pulled it out, it would pull the scab of the wound.
Judging from his occasional expression of regret and pain, his biological father must be an extremely important person in his eyes.
"Grandpa, you suddenly told me these things because..."
Li Yongyuan sat opposite his grandfather, raised his head and spoke.
"Pay attention to Chu Zihang. He has the mark left by God on his body. Odin will come to him at any time. When the time comes, pay attention to yourself."
Li Chengqian's instructions made Li Longyuan inexplicably dazed, and what he immediately thought about was whether Chu Zihang knew about this matter.
It takes a lot of courage and determination to always be prepared to face the King of Gods who projects that meteor spear that can penetrate all living things.
"Also, in ancient times, dragons replaced gods and became the real rulers of the world. They and gods are mortal enemies. If you meet a dragon king who has done no evil, you can let him go."
Almost every word Li Chengqian said today was a critical blow, and Li Longyuan was a little overwhelmed.
What's going on? Aren't we a dragon-slaying organization?
Forming an alliance with the dragon clan and fighting against Odin is something that Kassel Academy has never thought of.
"It's not an alliance. Dragon monarchs all have different ideas. They don't necessarily all want to rebuild order and restore glory. Cassel College has become fanatical and extreme under the leadership of Angers, and has become an unshakable
The dragon-slaying executioner."
Li Chengqian had already seen through Li Longyuan's thoughts, and then explained his approach to him. Speaking now, he was also afraid that Li Longyuan would stay at Kassel College for too long and be completely brainwashed by the ideas of that guy in Angers.
Kassel Academy and Orthodoxy have never been completely similar dragon-slaying organizations, and may even take completely opposite paths.
"I understand, Grandpa."
Li Longyuan waved his hand to express his understanding.
The amount of information he received today was indeed quite large, but it also solved a lot of his doubts, and he also had answers to many puzzling questions.
"If one day you really see a one-eyed guy wearing a dark blue wind cloak, dark gold armor, holding a curved and sharp spear, riding on an eight-legged horse, and wearing a mask, don't doubt it, he is Odin
.”
Li Chengqian sketched out such an image for Li Longyuan in just a few sentences.
"But don't be careless. According to orthodox investigations, every time Odin appears in the world, he is probably not the real one."
"Grandpa, are you saying that every time Odin sends out his servants?"
Li Longyuan's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, because Odin, the real king of the gods, will not wear a mask."
Li Chengqian replied with absolute certainty.
Li Longyuan held his chin slightly, and it took him a while to wake up.
"You young people have a good grasp of what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If you encounter special circumstances, just go ahead and do it. If you do something wrong, you will have the entire orthodoxy to back you up."
The old man stood up and patted his shoulder, looking at the pier and beach swept by the waves in the distance. This was a quiet and beautiful city.
Li Longyuan nodded, but his attention was attracted by the Go board on the stone table. The black pieces have now firmly trapped the white pieces, waiting for the end.
"What do you see? Who wins this game?"
Li Chengqian put his hands behind his hands and turned his back to the boy and asked quietly.
"If black wins, white will die within ten moves."
Li Yongyuan replied almost without thinking.
"wrong."
Li Chengqian's shabby retort made the boy sit up slightly and listen to his grandfather's next teachings.
"I won."
He just said this sentence and there was nothing more to say.
The young man put his hands on his knees and was silent, thinking about the meaning of his grandfather's words.
Is this sentence teaching him not to just look at things superficially and not only think about problems from one angle, or does it have a deeper meaning?
Since Li Chengqian didn't explain something clearly, he needs to understand it himself.
"Recently, a group of foreign mixed-race organizations have sneaked into Binhai for unknown purposes. Bad people have been keeping an eye on them."
The old man with orange skin and gray hair told him the reason why he was asked to come back.
"In the end, it was discovered that their goal was also the Bronze City under the Yangtze River. I led the team to capture them and bring them back, and the resisters were killed on the spot."
Li Chengqian sentenced the group to death with just a few words.
"good."
Li Longyuan drank the tea from the jade cup.
"Old man, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and my murderous intention has become stronger again. I have some time to take care of myself and try to live a few more years."
Knowing that the serious business had been discussed, Li Longyuan's tone became lazy and casual again.
The old man just laughed, but the light in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The time is almost here.
…………
Next day, morning
After several days of heavy rain, Binhai ushered in a refreshing sunny day.
Lu Mingfei simply wore a white long-sleeved shirt and walked out of the old apartment. Around his neck was an old-fashioned Sony camera that his uncle bought at a junk market for 2,000 yuan.
When my aunt found out, her uncle used the excuse of getting a bargain for 200 yuan to talk her out, thus averting a Hedong lion roar.
As one of the few good friends of his, Old Tang had to take a photo with him to commemorate him.
They agreed to meet together at Changchang Internet Cafe, which is a good place to meet offline, and the two of them can even make a fortune if they like.
"Obviously!"
When Lu Mingfei got off the bus at the bus stop, someone rushed out from the street and waved to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two thick eyebrows with a sense of joy, the face of an ordinary older youth, and the popular American POLO shirt with light-colored jeans, walking on
Brown Martin boots for casual wear.
When he grins, he becomes more contagious, showing a bit of silliness but also appearing extraordinarily sincere.
Lu Mingfei was also a little unable to withstand the enthusiasm he had just met, and quickly said hello in a low voice: "Don't call me Mingming outside. Please call me Lu Mingfei, or Mingfei."
"OK!"
Old Tang patted his shoulder and looked at this little brother who was slightly thin but not short.
"Let's go in and chat. Both machines have been turned on and charged for six hours of Internet usage."
Old Tang skillfully put his arm around Lu Mingfeifang's shoulders and tried to take him into the Internet cafe.
Lu Mingfei was a bit thin-skinned and obviously couldn't stand Old Tang's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to walk into the Internet cafe with him.
After arriving at his seat, Old Tang began to chat with him nonstop.
"Obviously, judging from your appearance, you are quite handsome, but you haven't found a girlfriend in school?"
Perhaps because they were friends in the game, Old Tang didn't regard himself as an outsider, and he started to care about his younger brother's life-long events as soon as he got there.
"I'm so tired in high school, so I can't think of falling in love."
Lu Mingfei was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He immediately touched his nose and tried to find an excuse to excuse it.
"That's right. China is a big country in education. The candidates have to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. You have really worked hard."
Old Tang was quite emotional, even though he dropped out of high school and went out to wash dishes.
"Come on, let's not talk about this. Let's cut it first."
Old Tang skillfully opened the game, just like an invitation from Lu Mingfei. The two top players were now going to compete in this Internet cafe. For a moment, smoke filled the air and fighting spirit rose.
