Chapter 21 Come again?

"I've actually been hesitating these past few days whether or not to look for you. My father said that if I have any questions, I can come and ask you, but he hopes that I will never ask you.

I hadn’t listened to him much in my life, so I had wanted to hear his last words for once.

It’s just that I haven’t been in a good mood these days, because as soon as I close my eyes, I will think of that day, those ghostly shadows, Odin riding an eight-legged horse, and that Maybach…”

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then continued, "And my father."

While he was speaking, his fists were clenched tightly. He clenched them so tightly that his hands were shaking slightly, and even his pale fingers were clenched into a bloody color...

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say softly, "I understand."

He could understand the feeling of powerlessness a person felt when facing a desperate situation.

"So what do you want to know, Senior Brother?" Lu Mingfei looked up, "I can tell you everything."

Chu Zihang slowly unclenched his fist, turned around, and took out a small notebook from his backpack.

"First, I want to know what this 'Casel Academy' my father was talking about."

Chu Zihang stared at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei suddenly discovered that Chu Zihang seemed to be wearing colored contact lenses today. He remembered that day in the Maybach, when Chu Zihang had completed his first clairvoyance.

Has his golden eyes ignited now?
Chu Zihang continued: "My father stressed that if I were to study abroad, I should not apply for 'Kassel College'. I think that school must have some secrets. Do you know anything about that school?"

Lu Mingfei nodded and answered truthfully: "I know."

He looked around and made sure that there were no other people sitting within a few meters of him. Then he met Chu Zihang's eager and expectant gaze and continued:

"Before I tell you about 'Casser College', I have to tell you some secrets about this world."

"secret?"

"Humans are not the only highly intelligent creatures in the world." Lu Mingfei said slowly, "Historically, before humans became the rulers of the Earth, the dragons were actually the rulers of the Earth."

"Dragon clan?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes.

"Don't believe it?"

Chu Zihang smiled bitterly, "I've been through that kind of thing, so why wouldn't I believe it... Keep talking."

"The dragons were the masters of the earth in ancient times. Humans at that time were similar to today's cattle and horses, and were tools for the dragons to serve. The only difference is that humans may be more intelligent than cattle and horses.

The dragon race not only possesses advanced wisdom, but also has power beyond nature. Almost every dragon descendant possesses a superpower called "Word Spirit".

Different "Word Spirits" have different effects. Some can spit fire, some can generate wind fields, and some can slow down the flow of time around them.

The dragons at that time relied on their advanced wisdom and these powerful forces to occupy the top of the food chain on Earth."

"Wait a minute." Chu Zihang asked, "According to what you said, the wisdom of the dragon race is no less than that of humans, and they have far greater power than humans, so why are humans ruling the earth now?"

"There is no definitive conclusion on the specifics." Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "But a more reliable inference is that humans are more fertile.

It is quite difficult for the dragon clan to pass on their bloodline. Perhaps this is one of the laws of nature - the more powerful a creature is, the more difficult it is to reproduce.

According to the research so far, there are only a few pure-blooded dragons. The first dragon in the world was the Black King Nighold.

Just like the gods in ancient Greek mythology would create gods, the Black Emperor Nighold created the second dragon, the White King.

Then, the Black Emperor Nighold split into eight more descendants, namely the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Earth and Mountains, the King of Sky and Wind, and the King of Ocean and Water.

"Only four kings?" Chu Zihang frowned, "Didn't they say there were eight heirs?"

"There are only four kings, because each king is a pair of twins." Lu Mingfei explained.

“The Black King, the White King, and the Four Lords, these dragon descendants possess the purest dragon bloodline and are known as the first generation.

But for some reason, perhaps because they are close relatives, these dragons cannot reproduce with each other and can only mate with other creatures to produce offspring. Among them, most of the offspring born from animals and dragons do not live long, and only the offspring born from humans are the most stable.

The offspring born from the first generation species and humans are called the second generation species - of course, there is also a saying that the first generation species is infertile and is born through splitting to produce the second generation species; the offspring born from the second generation species and humans are the third generation species... and so on.

The descendants of humans and dragons can also use words, but generally speaking, the purer the bloodline, the more powerful the words.

Dragons and humans gave birth to offspring, and the offspring inherited the power of the dragon clan. However, as the bloodline became diluted, these offspring instead had a stronger sense of identity with humans. They no longer felt that they were dragons, but felt more like humans.

Therefore, these hybrids who inherited the power of the dragon race united with humans, overthrew the rule of the dragon kings, and temporarily killed them...

The reason why it is called temporary is because the life of the first generation is very tenacious. From then on, humans became the masters of the earth.

Kassel College is a school where mixed races gather, and the school's courses teach you how to slay dragons."

Chu Zihang listened to Lu Mingfei's words in silence. His words contained a lot of information, and Chu Zihang needed time to digest them.

He took out a pen and wrote down key words such as "Black King", "White King", "Four Lords", and "Word Spirit" in the notebook.

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang who was taking notes seriously and said awkwardly, "Brother, you don't have to take notes so seriously. I still have a lot of details that I haven't covered. When you go to Kassel College to study, you will be taught these things."

Chu Zihang suddenly stopped writing: "How can you be sure that I will go to Kassel College in the future?" Of course, it's because I came back from the future. I predicted that you, my brother, would go to Kassel College, and I even became the leader of the Lionheart Society...

Lu Mingfei thought so in his heart, but said: "I guessed, I feel that you will go to Kassel College."

"Yes, I will go." Chu Zihang put the pen in the middle of the notebook and said, "Although my father wants me to listen to him. But I have never been an obedient child... Do you think my father graduated from Kassel College?"

"I think so." Lu Mingfei said, "And judging by his skills, he should be quite impressive."

Lu Mingfei recalled how Chu Zihang's father cut the Gordian knot among the Deadpools, and even the rain could not catch up with the speed of his sword.

Now that I think about it, he should have activated the Word Spirit at that time, probably "Moment" or even "Time Zero".

"Are you also a student of Kassel College?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. This question stumped him.

It is not wrong to say yes, because he studied very hard for three years at Kassel College; it is also not wrong to say no, because at that time he was not yet in high school, and Guderian and Nono had not come to pick him up yet.

“It will probably be like that in the future.” That was all Lu Mingfei could say.

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei's expression and did not ask any further questions. Instead, he turned to the second page of the notebook and said, "Okay... Second question, is the thing we saw on the viaduct really Odin?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I don't know about that. The existing information doesn't mention the existence of gods in this world, but only the existence of dragons. But the sense of oppression given by Odin, I personally feel, is at least at the level of the first generation."

He really didn't know much about Odin's origins. Maybe in his previous life, the dungeon hadn't been pushed here yet and he was forced to start the second round.

"I understand." Chu Zihang nodded, showing full trust in Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand silently: "Brother, do you have any other questions?"

"I have a lot of questions, but I'll just ask these many for now." Chu Zihang closed the notebook again and put it in his backpack. "It's not a good idea to ask too many questions at once. I need some time to digest this information, and you also need some time to sort it out."

"So what else do we have next?"

Chu Zihang was stunned and said, "Do you want to do anything? I don't have anything to do this afternoon. I can accompany you if you need."

"That's not necessary."

Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand to refuse: "My aunt asked me to bring a new toilet seat back when I go home this afternoon. I'm afraid you have activities and won't be able to make it in time. If there is nothing else, I can take it easy and finish the Swiss roll before leaving."

A Swiss roll for 20 yuan... That was the price in 06. 06 yuan in 20 was enough to buy two bowls of instant noodles in satay beef soup at a tea restaurant. Don't waste it.

"Do you like Swiss rolls?"

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei who was eating the Swiss roll with gusto, and suddenly thought that he should ask Lu Mingfei out at McDonald's or something like that.

"I can order another one for you if you like."

“That’s so embarrassing.” Lu Mingfei wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, “I want to try the strawberry flavor.”

Lu Mingfei knew that Chu Zihang was not the kind of person who said one thing and meant another and only did superficial work, so he did not get polite with Chu Zihang.

And I just sold him top-secret information! Is it too much to exchange the secrets of human history for two Swiss rolls?

If such a detailed and exquisite setting were sold to a novelist, it would probably produce a best-selling book with sales of millions.

"Then I'll go to the front desk to place an order." Chu Zihang stood up from his seat.

"No, no, senior brother, since you've already treated us, why should I bother you to come? You sit here, I'll go." Lu Mingfei jumped up.

"Are you sure?" Chu Zihang raised his eyebrows. "You have to pay on the spot."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt dispirited when he heard this. He didn't know how much of the hundred yuan in his pocket would be left after buying the toilet seat.

"Well, then, then, I'll go with you to order." Lu Mingfei thought of a compromise.

"also."

The two of them left the booth together and walked to the bar. There happened to be a strawberry-flavored Swiss roll left in the glass cabinet.

The female college student barista put the Swiss roll on the plate. Chu Zihang opened his wallet to pay, but was rejected by the female college student with a blushing face.

The other party said that Chu Zihang had given too much tip just now, and he would definitely not ask Chu Zihang to pay for the Swiss roll.

The two were in a stalemate when the jade piece of the wind chime suddenly made a cold sound in the wind and someone pushed the door open.

"Hello, may I ask..."

When he saw the person coming, Lu Mingfei almost blurted out "Oh my god!", but fortunately he stopped himself in time.

But how can I express the emotions in my heart in just a few words?
