Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 231 We Often Eat Together (Two in One)

Cassel College, Hall of Valor, and the elders of the secret party at the conference table stared at the huge projected earth.

This is similar to the projection of the earth in the central control room.

Kassel College can monitor any dragon-related events around the world anytime, anywhere through Eva.

Then, according to the severity of the event, it will be marked with red dots of different brightness.

At this moment, a bright, dazzling red dot is moving across the vast expanse of North Asia.

All eyes were on the red dot without blinking.

That's the area they're most concerned about right now.

"Are you sure this is Lu Mingfei's course of action?" the old man with a long beard asked in a low voice.

"It's not certain yet, but I have simulated more than a dozen routes with the help of intelligent AI tests, and this route is the most likely."

The projected virtual Eva draws a zigzag red line on the map with a finger.

"Where is the current location of the signal?"

Eva's thumb and index finger zoomed in on the map, more and more specific city details and roads were presented, and the position of the red dot became more precise.

"A railway in Chelyabinsk, in the Ural Mountains region of central Russia, presumed to be the Trans-Siberian Railway."

"Where are they going?" the bearded old man asked again.

"It should be Vladivostok. Their trains are traveling very fast, and they don't intend to stop at all. This shows that their destination is far away, and they are very anxious."

"Vladivostok (Vladivostok)... That may not be their final destination, but can we send commissioners to stop them from the HLJ Greater Khingan Mountains?" A middle-aged man asked.

"It is theoretically possible, but it needs to be calculated." Eva said.

"If Lu Mingfei has been maintaining a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, we will arrive in Vladivostok in about five days." A pale-haired old man shook his head and rejected the idea, "And we only rely on such a It is impossible to locate the exact position of the signal that may disappear, they are constantly moving, and if our people also move, the deviation will be even greater."

"Then what do you mean..."

"We can just send someone to wait for them at the finish line. At least we know where they might get off the car. As long as we send people there to intercept them, even to be on the safe side, we can also borrow the Sword of Scourge from the Gattuso family. Its track Just in position to attack there."

"Invoke the Sword of Scourge?"

This suggestion made many elders present exclaim.

The Sword of Scourge, or the Sword of Damocles, is a space-based weapon developed by the Gattuso family with a lot of money.

It consists of an artificial satellite orbiting in low Earth orbit, containing heavy tungsten metal rods.

When it needs to kill some extremely powerful enemies, it will open the hatch and drop the tungsten rod to the ground.

Gravity pulls those humble sticks into weapons of mass destruction comparable to small nuclear bombs.

Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, it is said to be powerful enough to destroy a small city.

The Gattuso family said that they built this weapon to deal with the Dragon King, but many old people of the Secret Party knew that they had ulterior motives.

However, as early as after the White King incident, the Patriarch Gattuso said that this weapon could be lent to the Academy when needed.

"Predict their speed and direction, and completely destroy living creatures within a radius of five kilometers. This is the safest plan in theory." The old man said lightly.

"No no! This is crazy! It's crazy!" The bearded old man immediately objected.

"As a member of the secret party, I am responsible for providing effective opinions, and whether they are implemented depends on your votes." The old man said.

"Don't be so crazy for the time being. It's a city with a radius of five kilometers. I don't know how many people will die."

"We have a more harmonious way of doing it."

"A more harmonious way of dealing with it, do you mean relying on Angers' old conservatives to deal with Lu Mingfei? You know, they are staunch opponents."

"Even if we use a weapon, it shouldn't be the Sword of Scourge. Our primary goal is to capture rather than destroy. Destruction is only the last resort. There are still many secrets about Lu Mingfei that we haven't figured out." O'Wulf said.

He is already over 130 years old, and he is considered to be of the same age as Angers.

But he wasn't as brisk as Angers, but surprisingly pale, sitting there like a thick limestone tombstone.

This old man didn't have any majesty of a mixed race, but his old hands were covered with fine white scales.

This is enough to show that Beowulf's blood level surpassed most of the people present.

In fact, this is also the case. This old man was once the last captain of the iron-blooded Dragon Slayer Sect and the Secret Party Action Team. He was known as the "Dragon Bloodthirsty Man".

At that time, he had a fierce opposition to the secret party's establishment of the Kassel Academy, and since then he has only stayed within the secret party as an elder.

However, at this time, when Angers and a large number of secret party elders are not credible, he has vague signs of becoming the secret party's talker again.

At least the veterans of the secret party present will pay more attention to what he said.

"Let's let the hounds out."

A moment later, Beowulf spoke his mind.

"Give them one more chance. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely absolutely stop Lu Mingfei and others in the Vladivostok area. We can't... let them continue to move north."

……

"There are still three hours to Lake Baikal. The scenery of Lake Baikal before it freezes is very good. If you are interested, you can get off the car and have a look."

Alexander Bunin leaned on the carriage and smoked.

Lu Mingfei sat on the other side eating instant noodles.

In fact, there are a variety of rich breakfasts in the luxury car, such as pancakes, crisp cucumbers, sliced ​​bread covered with blueberry sauce, and the never-absent red sausage.

But for some reason, after waking up this morning, Lu Mingfei wanted to eat some nostalgic taste.

He ignored Bunin's words and buried himself in the noodles, the smell of braised beef noodles even overwhelmed Bunin's smoke.

In the past, he would have been very interested in the place names he had learned in geography textbooks since he was a child, and he would still be excited when it was about to appear in front of him.

However, he has traveled to many places over the years, and the ups and downs he has experienced should add up to two autobiographies.

He has seen many corners, and many people should envy his life.

After all, the experience of struggling on the verge of life and death like an anime protagonist seems very cool.

Only he himself will decide whether it is worth it or not.

I didn't look back after I started the hunter's road. It was too far, too long and too dangerous.

Now he is a little tired, he just wants to enjoy life quietly.

But life can't even do this little thing.

Maybe I didn't agree to Guderian, that bad old man, to spend the rest of my life in a small city, playing StarCraft every day, chasing anime, and finally finding a wife and having a child...

You don't have to live as tired as you are now.

He put down the disposable fork in his hand, turned his head, and looked quietly at the big lake outside the window.

A black kite skimmed across the lake like lightning, its sharp claws made a ripple, and grabbed a big fat fish.

After finishing his cigarette, Bunin said slowly, "Siberia is actually Mongolian, and it originally means 'a place of tranquility'."

Lu Mingfei wiped his mouth: "The name is not very good. It sounds like a cemetery where corpses are to be buried. There is also a cemetery in my hometown city called Requiem Forest. When I was a child, I thought of it when I went to burn paper with my uncle and aunt. , squeeze so many unknown people into such a small place, can their souls really rest in peace? I figured it out later when I grew up."

"Thinking about what?"

"I may not even be able to afford such a small piece of land in the future. The cemetery is a place where rich people can live. Of course, people who live in such an expensive place are "requiem". Find a pond in the countryside and bury it hastily.”

"Mr. Lu really knows how to joke. With your relationship with Her Royal Highness, no one has any objections to being buried in Moscow's Red Square." Bunin said.

"But we are fleeing now, and Her Royal Highness is about to become a traitorous princess." Lu Mingfei joked.

"Ha ha."

Bunin smiled awkwardly, stopped talking to him about this topic, and started talking about Lake Baikal.

"Actually, we Chinese have explored here a long time ago, and the farthest may have reached the coast of the Arctic Ocean. It is said in "Shen Yi Jing", 'There is a layer of ice in the north that is thousands of miles thick; there are brook mice in the soil under the ice, and other Shaped like a mouse, it eats ice grass, and its meat weighs a thousand catties, so it can be preserved.'”

Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "Is this describing a seal?"

Bunin shook his head: "According to the description, it is more likely to be a walrus, and the seal is not heavy enough. At that time, it was really a peaceful land, and no one set foot in it."

"There are quite a lot of people now."

"Yes, after the Golden Horde took control of Siberia, they sent people to investigate in all directions, claiming to have found a silver valley full of silver, and a mountain range where the sun never sets."

"Extreme day~"

Bunin nodded: "Later, it split from the Golden Horde and became the Shabir Khanate. At the end of the 16th century, Kuchu Khan was defeated and fled, and the Shibir Khanate was annexed by the Principality of Moscow."

"Your history is really good, do businessmen want so many cultures?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Bunin did not answer his question, but lit another cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "We will stop at the small station ahead to replace the tractor head. Mr. Lu may consider getting out of the car to get some air."

Having said that, he paused again, as if he suddenly remembered something, with a weird smile on his face.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness booked the entire dining car for Mr. Lu to eat last night?"

Although his tone was casual with a hint of carelessness, his flickering eyes and curved mouth seemed to indicate that the reason why he came here to eat instant noodles with Lu Mingfei himself was to ask about this matter.

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Mingfei froze for a moment.

It's not that he and Zero have some shameful secrets that they can't tell, but that there's really nothing to tell.

Along the way, three meals were delivered to the box by the waiter.

He and Zero never saw each other.

But yesterday evening, the waiter only brought Old Tang's dinner, and invited Lu Mingfei to the dining car to have dinner with His Royal Highness.

It is obviously a train carriage, not 20 meters long from beginning to end, but it is as grand as a friend from far away in France inviting a friend from the other side of the world to have dinner.

When he walked into the dining car, Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Nuo Da's dining car was empty, save for a single dining table covered with a white linen tablecloth and lit with candles.

Zero sat quietly waiting for him by candlelight, wearing a white silk shirt with lace and lace, and his long platinum hair was braided and coiled on the top of his head.

Lu Mingfei could even see that she had deliberately modified it.

This made him feel at first that it was not a good fairy, but that there was no good wine and no good banquet, and His Royal Highness wanted to see it poorly.

Ever since he entered Russia, he pointed at Zero in everything, but Zero never stated what he wanted, giving the impression that it was only natural for her to do so... In fact, Lu Mingfei also felt that it was natural...

Feelings belong to feelings, and some things cannot really be taken for granted.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Eating people makes your hands short, but taking people's mouths makes you soft."

The clear meaning is to eat other people's things, so it is not good to say bad things about others. If you take other people's things, you have to be merciful to others.

In fact, it tells you not to take other people's things casually and accept other people's help.

Because in China, the hardest thing to repay is kindness.

Tonight, Zero put on a "serious talk" battle, did not invite Bunin or anyone else, and pulled him out for dinner alone, presumably he had something important to say.

Lu Mingfei felt that even at this time, Miss Romanova said coldly, "The debt owed to our Romanov family should be repaid, right? If we don't repay our landlord's family, there will be no food left." It is not surprising.

He sat silently at the table, thinking about what Zero might say in his mind.

The dinner was extremely sumptuous, and it was not the usual Russian food on the train but Chinese food.

There are famous dishes such as dry-roasted prawns and Huadiao steamed Dungeness crab, as well as home-cooked dishes such as stir-fried yellow beef and shredded pork with green peppers.

Who knows where Zero found such an authentic Chinese chef.

It's obviously just a carriage, so why not make it as formal as the imperial palace.

Lu Mingfei complained silently, waiting for the other person to speak first.

But Her Royal Highness is indeed a girl who cherishes words like gold, and she only said three sentences from the beginning to the end.

The first sentence is when the dinner started, she picked up the chopsticks in a very standard posture and said "eat".

The second sentence is when the two hiccupped, she asked Lu Mingfei "Are you full?" Lu Mingfei nodded, and she said "That's it."

That was the end of that inexplicable dinner.

Even if Lu Mingfei wanted to describe the dinner to Bunin in a more beautiful and ambiguous way, the most likely thing he could do was to report the names of the dishes he tasted one by one.

Who would have thought that having a formal dinner alone with Her Royal Highness would be more embarrassing than having a dinner alone with Miss Erika.

Eriyi also has a reason to say, I can't speak, I can only write as many words as possible to communicate, but what's the matter with you, a healthy little girl, who doesn't speak?
"I heard from the people in the dining car that for that dinner, Her Royal Highness ordered the ingredients to be prepared three days ago, and asked someone to find a good Chinese chef at the station along the way. Her Royal Highness attaches great importance to eating with Mr. Lu. .” Mr. Bunin sighed.

"It's just a meal, we often eat together." Lu Mingfei kept silent about the dinner.
