Dragon Race: Dragon of Eternal Time

Chapter 192 From Russia
"Patriarch Miyamoto is inspecting the submersible brought over from the headquarters. You will see it later. Patriarch Uesugi is not in good health, and something has happened. He is still resting in bed. Please forgive her for being rude. .” Tachibana Masamune said.

"We can understand." Mo Shi nodded to express his indifference.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang also nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your generosity." Tachibana Masamune bowed.

"You... aren't Japanese, are you?" Mo Shi looked at the teapot boiling water on the table, and asked seemingly casually.

Tachibana Masamune's appearance is different from that of Asians. His nose bridge is straight and his eye sockets are deep-set, and his facial lines are as sharp as a knife.Although his pupils are Asian black, and his every move has a strong Japanese flavor, there is no doubt that he is not a real Japanese.

"I didn't expect to be noticed by you. I am actually only half Japanese, and the other half is Russian." Tachibana Masamune said.

"So that's it... The Lenin icebreaker also came from Russia, do you have any clue?" Mo Shi asked.

"I'm not sure about this. I have been in Japan for many years, and few people can tell that I am half-Russian. How did you tell, Mr. Mo Shi?" Tachibana Masamune asked.

"Accent, I have also been to Russia before." Mo Shi said, "Not only do you have Russian blood, you also lived there."

As a dragon, Mo Shi can instantly understand the language of any race, and he can naturally hear Tachibana Masamune's Russian accent.

Everyone present showed surprised expressions, apparently even the other Patriarchs did not know that Tachibana Masamune had lived in Russia.

What surprised Lu Mingfei was that he had never heard that Mo Shi had been to Russia. Could it be that he went there during a family trip?
Tachibana Masamune smiled: "Yes, I have lived in Russia for about 30 years. It was still in the Soviet era. Everyone ate the food allocated, and the children were proud to wear military uniforms."

"The snow in Russia is beautiful." Mo Shi also smiled.

"Yeah..." The water boiled, Tachibana Masamune picked up the iron pot, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and then poured out the water again, "There is nothing to entertain you, let's use the Japanese tea ceremony. Please, distinguished guests first After finishing the dessert in front of me, the tea is a bit bitter."

Sure enough, in front of the three of Mo Shi, there was a piece of exquisitely crafted desserts, some in the shape of petals and some in the shape of peaches.

"Okay." Mo Shi smiled slightly, picked up the snack in front of him and slowly enjoyed it, the taste was very sweet.

He knew that in the Japanese tea ceremony, one should taste the dessert before drinking tea. In addition to avoiding the stomach hurt by drinking tea on an empty stomach, the sweetness of the dessert can also neutralize the bitterness of the matcha afterwards.

Lu Mingfei drank Chu Zihang and ate dessert.

"It's so sweet!" Lu Mingfei praised.

"En." Chu Zihang nodded slightly.

"This is the preparation before drinking tea." Tachibana Masamune said.

He picked out two spoonfuls of tea powder with a wooden tea spoon and put them into the tea bowl, then poured a large spoonful of hot water from the iron pot into the tea bowl, and shook the tea whisk back and forth at a very fast speed to evenly mix the tea powder for 15 seconds.With a focused expression, meticulous movements, and rigorous steps, he made tea for the three of Mo Shi in the standard Japanese tea ceremony.

"Look up the reference books, what should we do." Chu Zihang leaned close to Lu Mingfei's ear, and whispered expressionlessly.

The opponent has already made a move, and they must deal with it.

"Oh! The appendix of my "Japanese Mythology and History" contains tea ceremony etiquette!" Lu Mingfei flipped through the book under the table.

"No, I've already written down the contents of the book, and you can follow me in a while." Mo Shi whispered.

"As expected of Brother Mo Shi!" Lu Mingfei stopped flipping through the book, and gave Mo Shi a thumbs up under the table.

Chu Zihang looked at Mo Shi with admiration in his eyes. With such a reliable team leader, he doesn't have to worry about going anywhere.

Tachibana Masamune took out a piece of golden ancient silk gauze from his waist to place the teacup, gently twirled it in his hand, turned the side of the teacup with the bamboo sparrow pattern on it to face Mo Shi, and bent over to serve the tea.

The matcha soup in the tea bowl has a dark green color, it is very evenly beaten, and the aroma is strong and tangy.

Mo Shi bent down and reached out to take the tea bowl, and also used the square piece of golden ancient silk gauze on the table in front of him to cushion it, and gently rotated it in his hand, turning the side with the bamboo sparrow pattern towards Masamune Tachibana.

Mo Shi did it smoothly, as if he had practiced it countless times, like a master who is proficient in tea ceremony.

All the people present showed amazed eyes.

Ju Zhengzong bent down to serve tea to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei again, and they copied Mo Shi's method meticulously.

Mo Shi raised his teacup, raised his head and drank the green tea soup slowly.Then put the teacup in front of you, use your index finger and thumb to hold the mouth of the bowl where your mouth touches, and gently wipe it clean.

Then bent down and wiped his fingers with the paper on which the dessert was placed before, and then slowly reset his body, rotated the tea bowl counterclockwise twice, re-aligned the bamboo sparrow pattern to himself, and looked down at the pattern on the tea bowl, with an admiration on his face look.After completing this set of procedures, he put the tea bowl back on the table.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang also followed suit.

"Cooking tea is one of my few specialties. When a distinguished guest comes to visit, let's talk about respect. Don't waste everyone's precious time. I will bid farewell to Mr. Fuma and Inuyama-kun first. The young students will be responsible for the affairs of the academy." Tachibana Masamune stood up Farewell, "I hope you all have fun in Japan, and the mission can be successfully completed."

Mo Shi's team got up to return the salute, Tachibana Masamune left the terrace with Fuma Kotaro and Inuyamaga.

After closing the sliding door, Fuma Kotaro followed Tachibana Masamune and lowered his voice: "Mr. Masamune, are they competent?"

"Although they seem to be some unreliable children, I believe that they are excellent. Mo Shi's bloodline was rated as 'Super S' by Angers. Angers seems to regard him as his heir, and he also uses actions. I have proved my strength and beheaded the two dragon kings, so the information will not go wrong."

"Chu Zihang is not of an uncontrollable and dangerous bloodline as stated in the file. I didn't feel the same murderous aura as the fierce ghosts from him, but he was very calm. This shows that although his dragon blood ratio is very high, but His physique is very special, he can restrain dragon blood, this kind of quality is very rare."

"The only thing I'm not sure about is Lu Mingfei, but Ange let him accompany every dangerous mission? This shows that he must also have something special. If Angers believes in people, the whole world has to believe in them!" Tachibana Masamune Shen Sheng said, "Their arrival is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, we must not miss it!"

"Mr. Masamune's words are very true. I also think that they are not idle people. They clearly know that we are gangsters, but they don't show any cowardice. They deal with it very well and even understand tea ceremony etiquette." Fuma Kotaro praised, " Looking at Na Moshi's actions, I would believe that he is a master of tea ceremony."
