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 is here 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 holding her homework book.
The Passat slowly turned around and headed towards the city's busiest CBD area. The boy, who looked slightly 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 were very envious of Lu Mingfei. After all, he was the only one who had no parents to pick him up after school and could play all the way without restraint.
In fact, Lu Mingfei was not as cool as they imagined. 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 Old 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 was on the edge of the business district. Although Lemon Hotel was not a high-end luxury five-star hotel, it was still a low-key and comfortable three-star hotel.
Generally speaking, people who don’t have a little bit of wealth will not rent this kind of suite. Judging from Old Tang's reluctance to recharge money when playing games, and the information I accidentally got from chatting with him, this guy was obviously a pauper in the past.
Apparently it has developed recently.
"Okay, it happens to be the weekend tomorrow. I will go find you then and take you to visit our seaside." Old Tang used to talk to him on the game chat channel. If he came to the United States to study, he would take him to sit in the ashes during the summer vacation. The Dog Bus travels across America, if nothing else, for hot dogs.
Unexpectedly, before he decided to study abroad, Old Tang returned to China first. Then it’s time to do your part as a landlord.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's unexplained disappointment immediately disappeared. He planned to take Old Tang around the seaside this weekend to appreciate the local customs and taste the local snacks.
In the sky where the sun sets outside the window in the distance, the goshawk sings loudly and hovers 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, any 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, 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, the chess pieces in his hand 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 Yuan Zhisheng, whom my grandfather mentioned, and Kazama Ruri, who my grandfather never mentioned. They are all good opponents."
"It seems that you have fought against them all?" Li Chengqian bent his back, like a candle swaying in the wind, but his cloudy eyes still had a sparkle.
"Yes." The young man nodded silently.
"It seems that we have 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 Longyuan replied, knowing that he still had a long way to go.
For the vigorous and fierce dragon warriors, the power of hybrids is undoubtedly weak. Not to mention the Dragon King who will wake up in the future.
"It seems that 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 Longyuan 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 had never known it clearly and had never read it in an orthodox library. to these.
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 Longyuan had to 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 with a smile.
If the Dragon King Nidhogg, the source of the entire hybrid species 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 explain his words better.
"I know, senior brother tried many ways to check his father's information after arriving at the academy, but in the end there was no news." Li Longyuan had also been puzzled by 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." Li Chengqian said the shocking words in an extremely calm tone.
"How is it possible that such a thing could happen?" Li Longyuan murmured in a low voice. This is so 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 in this world is Odin." Li Chengqian connected them in one sentence. Only the authority of gods has such shocking power.
"Every time Odin appears in the world, we 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 for Chu Zihang's icy face, as if he was hiding something very deep on his mind, 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 Longyuan 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, you should pay attention to it yourself." Li Chengqian's instructions made Li Longyuan inexplicably confused. What he immediately thought about was whether Chu Zihang knew this. thing.
It takes a lot of courage and determination to always be prepared to face the King of Gods who projects the meteor gun that can penetrate all living things.
"Also, in ancient times, the 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." Li Chengqian's words today were almost critical hits, Li Longyuan They are all 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.
Now that I say it, I am afraid that if Li Longyuan stays at Kassel College for too long, he will 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, grandfather." 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 appearance 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 a real person."
"Grandpa, are you saying that every time Odin sends out only 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 great 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, the entire orthodoxy will support you." The old man stood up. Pat him on the shoulder and look at the pier and beach swept by the waves in the distance. This is a quiet and beautiful city.
Li Longyuan nodded, but his attention was attracted by the Go board on the stone table. Black has now firmly trapped White, waiting for the end.
"What do you see? Who wins this game?" Li Chengqian asked quietly with his hands behind his back and his back to the boy.
"If black wins, white will die within ten moves." Li Yongyuan replied almost without thinking.
"Wrong." Li Chengqian's shameless 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 on the surface and think about problems from just 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 watching them." The orange-skinned and gray-haired old man told him the reason for calling him back.
"Finally, it was discovered that their goal was also the Bronze City under the Yangtze River. Lead a team to capture them and kill those who resisted on the spot." Li Chengqian sentenced the group to death with just a few words.
"Okay." Li Longyuan drank the tea in 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 was over, 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. .........The next day, after several days of heavy rain in the morning, 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 the aunt found out, her uncle used the excuse of getting a bargain for 200 yuan to avoid the roar of a Hedong lion.
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. 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.
The two clusters of thick eyebrows with a sense of joy, the face of an ordinary older youth, and the popular American poLo shirt with light-colored jeans and brown Martin boots for a casual look.
His grin was even more contagious, showing off a bit of silliness while also appearing extraordinarily sincere.
Lu Mingfei was also a little unable to resist 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."
"Okay!" Old Tang patted his shoulder and looked at this little brother who was slightly thin but not short.
"Why don't we go in and chat? Both machines are turned on and the Internet fee has been charged for six hours." Old Tang skillfully put his arm around Lu Mingfeifang's shoulders and wanted 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 to walk into the Internet cafe with him.
After arriving at his seat, Old Tang started chatting with him nonstop.
"Obviously, judging from your appearance, you are quite handsome, but you didn't find a girlfriend in school?" Maybe it was because they were friends in the game, and Old Tang didn't regard himself as an outsider. I care about my little brother’s lifelong events.
"I'm so tired in high school. I don't have the time to think about falling in love." Lu Mingfei was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He immediately touched his nose and found 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, although he dropped out of high school and went out to wash dishes.
"Come on, come on, let's not talk about this, let's cut it first." Old Tang opened the game skillfully, just like Lu Mingfei sent an invitation. Now the two top players are going to compete in this Internet cafe. As time goes by, gunpowder smoke fills the air, and fighting spirit rises.
