Chapter 238 The History of the Valentine Family

Of course Lu Mingfei didn't know that his image in Yaji's mind had become comparable to the stud vice-president of Kassel Academy.

He just walked and looked around.

He had never properly walked around the villa in Valentine Manor before. As Aki led the way, he realized that it was such a long distance from one end of the corridor to the other.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that Yaji was going to take him to Louis' room, but when they reached the stairwell, Yaji took him down. They walked all the way to the back door of the villa, and then Yaji stopped, put his hands alternately in front of him, and bowed to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei also quickly bowed to Aki according to Japanese etiquette.

"Mr. Louis is waiting for you outside the door." Aki said with a smile.

"Hey, aren't you going with me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, Mr. Louis is only looking for you."

Although he didn't know what the little angel's uncle wanted to see him about, Lu Mingfei still pushed open the back door and walked out.

The back door is directly connected to the back garden of the manor. The first thing Lu Mingfei saw when he opened the door was Louis sitting on a mountain bike. The curves of the mountain bike under his crotch were elegant, like a dolphin swimming under the sea. It was definitely a very cool toy.

It seems that the little angel's uncle likes mountain bikes very much. During the time in the manor, Lu Mingfei always saw Louis, who was dressed simply, riding a bicycle around the manor when he had nothing to do.

If he didn't know that Louis was the owner of such a large manor, Lu Mingfei would have thought that this was an IT guy from nowhere riding a bike to exercise in a private manor.

"Hello." Lu Mingfei greeted with a guilty conscience.

The reason for feeling guilty was not because of anything else, but because he remembered that he had just had close contact with the little goddess. Sleeping in the same bed with someone else's niece in someone else's home... This sense of sin made it difficult for Lu Mingfei not to feel guilty.

"Hello, Mingfei." Louis greeted with a smile, and nodded to the side. "I have adjusted your bike for you. It is adjusted according to your body shape. The brake calipers have been replaced with ones more suitable for beginners. It shouldn't be so difficult for you to ride this time."

Just as he thought, he still had to chat with his elders.

He got on the bike and started riding along the cool tree-lined path in the manor. Lu Mingfei actually found that this time the ride was a little easier than the last time.

"I've heard about your story from Mance." Louis beside him suddenly said, "Since you know so much about Snake Deadpool. I think you must also know about the hybrids and dragons, right?"

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and nodded. After the incident with Snake Deadpool yesterday, he never thought that he could keep his hybrid identity a secret.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that Louis would ask some other questions, such as why he knew the weakness of Snake Deadpool and when he had his first clairvoyance.

However, Louis simply nodded and moved on to the next topic.

"Mance told me this morning that there's a good chance you'll join Cassel College," Louis said, "What do you think?"

What do you think? Just join? Anyway, I ended up going to Kassel College in my last life, and I plan to go in this life too. I will be a member of the college in life and a ghost of the college in death.

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei squeaked.

"You agree so easily? So readily?" Louis smiled.

"Is there an option to disagree?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

If I don't agree, I'm afraid that Mr. Masashi Toyama will take the nearest flight and fly over here immediately to brainwash me and make me lose my memory, right?
The mountain bike turned the next bend lightly, and the autumn wind blew towards us.

"Yes, but it will be easier if you agree." Louis said, "But since you have awakened your bloodline, I'm afraid the academy will no longer allow you to attend a normal school."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and blinked rapidly, "You won't let me go to a normal school? Does the college want to admit me now?"

Would it be too much of a leap to let myself skip from the first grade of high school to the first grade of college?
"That won't happen. The academy generally admits students according to the normal academic year."

Maybe because he was talking while riding a bike, Louis took a breath and continued after a few seconds:

"For students like you who have awakened their bloodline early, the academy will usually let you study in the preparatory class first. If you perform well in the preparatory class, you will be admitted directly. If I remember correctly, the preparatory class of Kassel Academy in China should be set up in the capital of China."

After Louis said this, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as a preparatory class.

If he remembered correctly, Xia Mi was a preparatory student in the Imperial Capital Preparatory Class at that time. Before she entered school, she was more familiar with all kinds of dragon-related classics than he was. Of course, they only found out in the end that Xia Mi was actually Jörmungandr, the king of the earth and mountains.

According to the current development, if he was arranged by the college to study in the preparatory class in the imperial capital to attend high school.

Doesn’t that mean... I will soon be separated from Miaomiao and Xiao Tiannv?
Lu Mingfei's heart sank.

Louis silently observed Lu Mingfei's expression with his peripheral vision, and saw that the expression in Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly dimmed. He said nothing, but turned his head to look straight ahead.

"By the way." Louis suddenly said, "Do you want to know about Rosella and our family?" "About the little angel?"

Lu Mingfei was suddenly startled by the sudden turn of the topic. Louis's heartfelt behavior made Lu Mingfei suddenly feel as if Louis wanted to marry his daughter to him...even though the little girl was his niece, not his daughter.

"Yes." Louis nodded.

His current relationship with the little angel is actually just an ordinary friend, but Louis and the others mistakenly thought that he and the little angel were lovers. Given his relationship with the little angel, it is obviously inappropriate to look into the little angel's private affairs.

But... facing Louis' sidelong glance, Lu Mingfei nodded.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to understand the little angel, to understand her truly and completely.

Louis smiled and nodded.

"Before I tell you about Rosella, I have to introduce my family to you," Louis said. "You should know, right? Our last name is Valentine."

"I know." Lu Mingfei nodded. To be honest, when he first heard this surname, Lu Mingfei felt that it sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it.

"Our Valentine family is one of the oldest mixed-blood families in Europe."

Louis spoke slowly:
"The earliest person in the Valentine family that can be traced back to the existing historical materials is a Christian martyr in the third century AD. The Catholic priest Valentine was an alchemist. In 296 AD, he was arrested and imprisoned for providing alchemical weapons to ordinary people to fight against the oppression of the brutal half-blood nobles.

In prison, he fell in love with the warden's daughter. Before his execution, he wrote a long farewell letter to the warden's daughter. Valentine was executed on February 269, 2 AD. After his death, Christians set that day as Valentine's Day in memory of his sacrifice for justice and pure love. This is the origin of Valentine's Day.

Louis smiled and turned to look, “How about it, is the history of our Valentine family full of romance?”

Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes, dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.

To be honest, he never thought that the little angel would be related to Valentine's Day, but immediately, he remembered the bet between him and the little angel about "lovers".

Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day... Damn, why do I suddenly feel like this is all connected?!
"Another famous person in the history of the Valentine family should be Bashir Valentine. You may have heard of this name, Mingfei."

Lu Mingfei was slightly stunned, feeling as if he had heard this name somewhere before.

Louis said: "Basil Valentine is a legend in the history of alchemy. His alchemical work "The Screw of Antimony" records the method of refining the "Philosopher's Stone" and is still a classic that alchemists must learn.

In history, the great physicist Newton once tried to refine the Philosopher's Stone by referring to his alchemy book. Although he failed in the end, he had successfully refined the beautiful crystal 'Regulus' that sparkled with starlight, that is, 'Star Antimony'. And 'Star Antimony' is actually the unpurified 'Philosopher's Stone'.

Our Valentin family was one of the seven families that funded Angers and the Secret Party to establish the Cassel Academy. It is also one of the oldest alchemy families in Europe. "

Louis' words were so explosive that it was like bombs exploding one after another in Lu Mingfei's heart.

At this time, Lu Mingfei finally remembered where he had heard the name Valentine.

Before he set out for Portugal, when he saw the post about the "Antimony Incident" on the Hunter Portal, Xia Mi introduced him to the relationship between "Antimony" and "Philosopher's Stone". At that time, Xia Mi mentioned the name "Basil Valentine".

The oldest alchemy family in Europe? The family of the directors of Kassel Academy?
The little angel's background is so strong?

Lu Mingfei recalled the photo of her mother that she saw in Su Xiaoqiang's room.

With such a profound background, it is no wonder that the little angel's mother was able to join the Lionheart Society.

But since the little angel had such a strong background and her bloodline was B-level, why was she not admitted during the entrance interview at Kassel College in her previous life?

Before Lu Mingfei could fully digest this information, a voice came from beside him:

"After introducing our family, I can now talk about Rosella's mother, my sister, Gloria."

As Louis spoke, he sighed softly, "Gloria was originally one of the most talented alchemists of the younger generation of the Valentine family, and was also the original heir to the Valentine family. However, due to some reasons, she died very early. Before she died, she left a last wish."

As Louis spoke, he suddenly pressed the brakes. The suddenness of the brakes almost made Lu Mingfei unable to react. It was only a second later that he pressed the brakes as well.

Two mountain bikes stopped on the tree-lined avenue, and Lu Mingfei and Louis were one in front and one behind, their figures intertwined under the shade of the trees.

"Gronya hopes that Rosella will not come into contact with the world of dragons and live a peaceful and happy life as an ordinary person."

Louis looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes with a smile on his face: "So, Mingfei, if you join Kassel College, it may be difficult for you and Rosella to get our support."
