"Also, I have to remind you that a person needs to know his own position at all times." The smile in Herzog's voice disappeared, and he said to Lu Mingfei solemnly, "With your current position
And the situation, you are not qualified to ask me questions at all. A prisoner must have the consciousness of a prisoner. When you were a blood descendant in Cassel, didn’t that old guy in Angers teach you the consciousness of recognizing the current situation and assessing the situation? "
After a moment of silence, Lu Mingfei slowly spoke.
"No matter who you are, you underestimate our Cassel College and Principal Angers too much." Lu Mingfei said, "Recognizing the current situation and assessing the situation is what a certain useless senior brother of mine is best at. He probably started from
I learned it from our vice-principal. Our vice-principal is a pervert and a bastard, but our principal is a gentleman and a tough guy. Principal Angers only taught us the skills of drawing swords and fighting, and that dragon slayers should die.
Principles on the battlefield."
"What a world-weary old man, actually instilling such pessimistic ideas into young people." Herzog clicked his tongue, "It seems that in my role as a teacher and educator, I am more powerful than the principal of Kassel College.
Competent, at least what I teach my students are practical skills such as how to climb to a high position, how to win people's hearts, how to assassinate enemies, and how to survive on the battlefield... That's why my students can become such outstanding talents today.
Ah, the girls all like him."
"Your student?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly.
"Yes, my student, Ruri Kazama." Herzog smiled, "You have seen him, right? Have you all seen Ruri Kazama's kabuki performance? Isn't that child a very good one?
Young man? The youngest kabuki master in Japan, the throne of Japan's Cowherd world, a killer with 100% mission completion... Speaking of which, my student has really been trained by me to become an outstanding young man, and I am proud of him."
"Teacher of Fengjian Liuli... you are the king general!" Lu Mingfei's voice was full of surprise and hostility, "I should have thought earlier that the person who captured me must be the king general! Only you would do it at this time.
You can’t wait to attack me, you will never let me go!”
"Oh?" Herzog asked with interest, "What makes you feel this way?"
"I've had this feeling since you sent people to hunt us. Your target is Eri Yi or me. In short, it must be one of us, so you and the elite troops of the fierce ghosts will bypass it.
Caesar and Chu Zihang are targeting me and Eryi." Lu Mingfei said slowly, "I clearly remember that I killed you, but you are still standing in front of me and talking to me.
"
"Oh, didn't my students tell you? I am an 'evil' ghost." Herzog said in a proud tone, "Everyone thinks that the kid Kazama Ruri is an extremely 'evil' ghost, but in
In my opinion, that child is still too immature, and his "evil" needs someone to guide him. Compared with him, I am more worthy of the title of "evil ghost", because such things as "evil ghosts" cannot be killed.
of."
"Can't you kill me?" Lu Mingfei shook his head, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be killed."
"You are wrong. I have seen with my own eyes the eternal and beautiful life. They are so noble and magnificent, as if they are the best synonym for eternity." Herzog explained to Lu Mingfei very patiently,
"You are still too young, and you have seen too little life, so you cannot understand that the more noble something is, the harder it is to be killed, just like a 'god' that has been buried for thousands of years and has been corroded by time and death.
, the moment of resurrection will still be ushered in today. The reason why 'god' is 'god' is because the power she possesses is infinite, and 'god' itself is also immortal."
"So you are trying every possible means to resurrect 'God'?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Because you yearn for the power of 'God'."
"Is there anything wrong with yearning for such great power?" Herzog asked, "To put it bluntly, human beings are essentially profit-seeking creatures. Whoever can have greater power and higher status can enjoy more.
interests... How many people in this world would remain indifferent in the face of that great power?"
"Ange?" Herzog counted, "He doesn't need it. He is already the strongest dragon slayer in the world. No one in this world can shake him after killing the 'god'. That old madman is full of thoughts.
Filled with thoughts of revenge."
"Or are we talking about the Snake Qihachi Family?" Herzog sneered, "Come on, those decadent fools don't understand what this power symbolizes at all, so they have been hiding in a small corner of Japan for so many years.
They are used to being local emperors."
"It means that you think you are a normal person, and you will do anything to gain more power, treating everyone around you as a ladder to step on." Lu Mingfei said, "You don't trust anyone except yourself.
In your eyes, everyone only has a relationship between use and being used, so you eat their flesh and blood, squeeze out their value, and turn everyone into tired bones. In the end, you step on everyone's bones, alone.
Climb the Tower of Babel that reaches the sky.”
Herzog was visibly stunned, then he clapped softly.
"I can't believe that this is what a young person like you can say. Your understanding is very deep, and even Fengjian Liuli is not as good as you." Herzog praised Lu Mingfei without hesitation, "I have to
Said, you understand me very well, young man, if we were not on different positions, I would really like you to become my student and share my achievements with you... I mean it sincerely."
"Then don't I still want to thank you? But I may disappoint you. I want to let down your good intentions, because I don't intend to become your student, and I don't support your approach." Lu Mingfei whispered.
Said, "It's like climbing up the Tower of Babel with great effort. How do you know what is on the top of that tower? Maybe the immortal power is just something nihilistic in the end. Rights and status are not things that can be grasped.
Something to hold tightly in your hand.”
"There are very few young people who can talk to me on an equal footing on such an issue. The brothers from the Yuan family are too naive and are easily led by others. You have a higher ideological level than them, but you young people
They all have a common shortcoming, you are all too stubborn." Herzog said regretfully, "But that's right, it's normal that you don't understand the nature of this world. After all, not everyone can see through such profound things.
A throne can only accommodate one creature, and those who sit on it without ambition will certainly not understand what power means."
"It's too far away." Herzog then shook his head, "I have spent several minutes explaining it to you. If I have enough time, I wouldn't mind spending a day and night discussing this with you, just like twenty years.
Someone and I were drinking in the ice and snow while exchanging each other's ambitions, because ambition is such a huge thing, and if there is no one to share it with, I am afraid that this ever-expanding thing will burst me."
"People like you can be afraid of things," Lu Mingfei said.
"Of course, I am afraid of loneliness, fear of death, and fear of mediocrity... As an ordinary person, I am afraid of too many things, but unfortunately, since twenty years ago, I have regarded myself as a giant dragon.
, I will definitely become the being at the end of the food chain." Herzog changed the subject, "Boy, don't try to delay time or hold my hand. I have lived for so many years and have become a human spirit.
The reason I am willing to talk to you so much is because after all these years I can’t wait to find someone to talk to. You are a good listener because you can use your brain to think. We actually hit it off."
They are indeed very close. One of them is destined to be killed by the other. This is also a rare fate... Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
"But it's far from time to reveal all the dusty past events. I'm in a hurry." Herzog said, "Can you guess why I must take you away?" Herzog said.
Is it just because you killed all the subordinates I sent to hunt you and Eriki Uesugi?"
"No, the lives of those subordinates are worthless in your eyes, and you won't feel bad for how many people like Taro Yoshikita sacrifice." Lu Mingfei said, "You only care about 'gods', so you sent people to raid.
In the Hongjing area, you didn't succeed, but the 'god' has awakened, so you can't sit still, right?"
"If this were Gao Tianyuan, I really want to order two glasses of wine and have a clink with you, Mr. Lu, you obviously don't know who the general is, but you know me so well, it's like a roundworm in my stomach.
"Herzog couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, 'God' suddenly resurrected. This is something I didn't expect, because this time happened much faster than I expected... But listening to what you said,
The failure of the group leaders of the Kanto branch has something to do with your Kassel College, right?"
"How do I know that my senior brothers and I haven't been staying in Gaotianyuan all the time." Lu Mingfei asked, "Didn't you capture me from Gaotianyuan? I'm in Tokyo, how can I know the situation over there in Hongjing?"
?”
"Young man, although there have been some grievances between us, my impression of you is not bad. You don't have to play tricks with me..." Herzog suddenly paused and changed the subject, "Forget it, this
It's not a question that must be explored. 'God' has been resurrected. It doesn't matter what happened before. This result has already happened. I will go to Hongjing to see what happens next."
Lu Mingfei remained calmly silent. In Herzog's view, the resurrection of "god" certainly had little to do with him. After all, Kassel Academy is a hybrid organization whose mission is to slay dragons. In Herzog's view,
From the perspective of Kassel College, the purpose of controlling Hongjing was to prevent the resurrection of "God"... But they failed, and "God" was still resurrected, and earlier than he planned.
Herzog could never have guessed that the "god" was awakened by Old Tang and Xia Mi, and that Old Tang and Xia Mi were instructed by Lu Mingfei... So in the final analysis, Herzog could never have guessed that resurrecting the "god"
It was precisely the young man in front of him who, in his opinion, was least likely to allow "god" to be resurrected.
"Isn't today the day for you to negotiate with the Sheqiba family?" Herzog asked, "What was the result of the negotiation?"
"Do you think I will tell you this?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Young people like to be tough-talking, I understand, but I can imagine without you having to say that the result of your negotiation today is not ideal, right?" Herzog said in a prophetic tone, "You took away E. Uesugi.
Riyi, killed the former head of the Snake Qihachi family, and also had a lot of contact with Kazama Ruri from our Fierce Demon Clan. With Fuma Kotaro's old man's stubborn character, he will not easily forgive you Kassel Academy.
"
"My senior brother did not kill Ju Zhengzong." Lu Mingfei said solemnly, "You killed Ju Zhengzong, right? General Wang, you wanted to provoke a conflict between our Kassel Academy and the Sheqi Eight Families."
"Does it matter who killed him? Think about how many obstacles Tachibana Masamune caused to you after you came to Japan? Shouldn't you feel lucky that such a person was killed?" Herzog
Said, "Or even if I admit that I was the one who set up Tachibana Masamune to be 'killed', so what? You Kassel Academy and the Jakikihachi family are not the same people to begin with, but you have one annoying thing in common..."
You all want to kill the 'god', why should I fight against two forces who want to kill the 'god' at the same time? That would be too tiring."
Lu Mingfei sneered in his heart. Of course he knew that Herzog was bluffing. It was too tiring to fight two forces at the same time? This guy simply didn't have the ability. Whether it was a head-on confrontation with Angers or a head-on confrontation with Yuan Zhisheng, he had no choice.
There is no doubt that the ending will be that Herzog is killed, the Snake Qihachi family has escaped from Herzog's control, and abandoning Tachibana Masamune's identity is only a last resort.
In other words, Herzog did not take the initiative to get to where he is today... He was forced to this step by Lu Mingfei, but Herzog still doesn't understand where his plan went wrong.
"Your negotiations may have broken up unhappily, or they may have been interrupted by the tsunami, but I actually don't care about the outcome." Herzog said in a low voice, "Lu Jun, with your character, you shouldn't be dissatisfied with snakes."
Can the eight families compromise?"
"My personality?" Lu Mingfei said, "Do you know me well?"
"I don't want to have this kind of meaningless argument with you, Mr. Lu, we are all smart people, and smart people don't need to mince words when speaking." Herzog said bluntly, "I know the requirements of the Sheqiba Family.
, are they right to ask you to hand over Chu Zihang, Uesugi Eri and Kazama Ruri? But Mr. Lu, you definitely didn’t agree to them."
"So?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"In other words, you are the only one who has the information on these three people at the same time." Herzog leaned close to Lu Mingfei's ear and said slowly, "I am not as greedy as the Sheqiba family. Your senior brother and I
I don’t care about disobedient students... I just want to know, where is Uesugi Eri?"
