Chapter 127 My fate is up to me.

It was dawn when it should have, but it didn't, because the sky was covered with dark clouds, so dense that not a single ray of sunlight could escape.

"This situation makes me quite uneasy." Professor Mance sat on the bow deck, watching the impending storm.

He did not let Ye Sheng go into the water to explore again. Since there were living creatures in the metal city, it would be better for them not to disturb the other party so quickly. They should take action only after they have made all preparations.

"The prince has appeared." Ye Sheng whispered in his ear, "The situation now may be very complicated."

"Prince?" Mans looked back in surprise.

Ye Sheng nodded: "The prince posted a message on the hunter website, claiming that there is a king of the earth and the mountain in the capital."

Mance fell into deep thought. They might have just found the King of Bronze and Fire, and then the King of Earth and Mountains appeared over there.

Did the prince know about them? If not, that would be fine. But if he did, why did he do this?
Angers didn't know what the prince was thinking, but it was undeniable that their Kassel Academy had big things to do again.

"The King of Bronze and Fire is under the Three Gorges, and the King of Earth and Mountains is unknown." Flamel said beside him: "We can send some people to the capital of China to find the King of Earth and Mountains. The Three Gorges is the most important thing now."

"Yeah." Angers did not comment, and said: "But the capital also needs heavyweights to watch over it in case of emergencies."

Millions of people were living on the ground in the capital, and this disturbed the king of the earth and mountains. It turned over and caused an earthquake, which would be very serious for the whole of China.

"What do the mixed-race families in China say?" Flamel asked.

"For safety reasons, they have withdrawn important supplies from the capital..." Angé looked at the email that had just been sent on the computer screen.

When Flamel heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Well, this is actually the choice that normal hybrid forces should make when facing the Dragon King. Dragon-slaying heroes are always a minority, and most of them have to pay with their lives, and one life is not enough.

"Let's send people from the capital to search first." Angers said, "Let's deal with the metal city under the Three Gorges Dam first."

"It's hard to deal with."

Speaking of this, Flamel also frowned. The King of Bronze and Fire is the pinnacle of alchemy. That metal city is likely to be an alchemical product cast by Norton.

As a master of alchemy, he naturally knew how terrifying an alchemist who was on high alert could be. The ice cellar of Kassel Academy was known as the safest place in the academy. It could only be entered through normal means. If one wanted to forcefully break in from the outside, it would be almost impossible. Even the Dragon King would be at a loss!

He was responsible for the alchemical layout of the ice cellar.

"Even if it's difficult to handle, we have to find a way to handle it." Angers said: "The difficulties are there, we can't just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. We can only overcome them when there are difficulties."

"Well, I'll be there to watch." Flamel added, "Lu Mingfei's S-rank seems to be a bit controversial?"

Lu Mingfei's S-level was assessed by Angers alone, and the school board knew nothing about it. Frost could no longer tolerate it and openly stated at the board meeting: Is this the Kassel College of the school board, or is it your Kassel College of Angers?

I opened the voting directly to try to get Angers down, but unfortunately I failed.

And it is estimated that this matter will not be brought up now, because the King of Bronze and Fire, and the King of Earth and Mountains are right in front of him. Frost will pick up this matter again after these two issues are resolved.

"That's nothing." Angé shook his head. "Lu Mingfei will prove that his S-rank is correct, just like Zhang Baiqing."

"Zhang Baiqing... isn't he even more difficult to say?"

Zhang Baiqing’s peculiarity did indeed attract the attention of the school board, but they did not dare to act rashly because he could really overturn the table!
God knows how strong he really is, no one has ever seen him use his full strength. The school board has read his files thoroughly, but they haven't found anything unusual.

Not to mention Angers who specially approved him to S-level, the school board also had no ability to pry open Angers' mouth, so even if they had doubts in their hearts, they could only keep them to themselves.

Now Zhang Baiqing can also be used as a thug, and it will be even more difficult to deal with if they fall out.

"Let's arrange for Zhang Baiqing to go to the capital to watch. With his strength, he is more than capable of dealing with some special situations." Angers thought for a moment and said, "Also arrange for the specialists and A-level students from China to go to the capital. After all, this is a search, not a hunt. Sending locals will not cause so many problems. The remaining specialists and A-level students will go to the Three Gorges Dam."

The A-level students are all mixed-race with excellent bloodlines and are the backbone of Kassel Academy. It is nothing for them to participate in these things while they are students.

"What about the freshmen after they finish the 3E exam?"

"Bring all the suitable ones along and let them see the world," said Angers.

……

Kassel College started to move, with equipment and personnel all moving out.

Lu Mingfei sat in the examination room, looking around guiltily.

He felt like a harmless little orange cat that had strayed into a garden full of golden tabby cats.

He doesn't know whether others have the real ability to get here, but he is not.

"Why are you so nervous? You seem to be very guilty, like a thief entering a police station."

Xia Mi sat next to him and said to him, "It's just a simple 3E test. What's there to be afraid of with your S-level bloodline? To put it bluntly, even if the rest of us were tied together, we wouldn't be as pure as the three of you."

Xia Mi is a preparatory student at Kassel College, but she still has to take the 3E exam. However, this is just a formality, and there is definitely no problem with her bloodline.

Just like Minamoto no Chino and Uesugi Eri were there too.

“I’m not nervous or guilty.” Lu Mingfei denied it flatly and said, “Do you think Hui Liyi looks a bit like Chen Motong?”

There were candidates from various countries in the examination room, but two of them had red hair that was particularly conspicuous.

Chen Motong, the invigilator, and Uesugi Erii, who was taking the exam, both had flowing red hair, but it’s not that they look alike, they just have similar red hair.

"Don't you know this? Uesugi Eryi's father, Professor Uesugi Yue, has a quarter of Chen family blood, because his mother, Eryi's grandmother, has half of Chen family blood. They are cousins." Xia Mi said.

"Ah? I really don't know that." Lu Mingfei shook his head. He had just arrived at Kassel College and was still completely in the dark. How could he have found out this information?

"Exam preparation begins! Quiet."

Professor Lauren, who was presiding over the exam, spoke, and Xia Mi, who wanted to continue talking to Lu Mingfei, shut up.

After he announced the rules, Chen Motong distributed blank test papers and answer sheets, and then began the exam.

As the music started, the people in the examination room gradually began to abstract. Lu Mingfei hesitated whether he should abstract along with them, perhaps this would seem more normal.

But he soon discovered that there were also a few that were not abstract.

Xia Mi, Gen Chinu, Uesugi Erii, and a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes beside him were all answering quietly.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Lauren, who was standing by the door and looking at the examination room, counted in a strange manner, then turned to Chen Motong and said, "Are there so many students who have awakened early now?"

Apart from the two Japanese students, there were three who had awakened early. The 3E exam was held only once a year, and not many professors were required to invigilate, so the professors did not pay much attention to the situation. In addition, the discipline committee member Professor Manstein had usually invigilated the exams before. Professor Lauren was not familiar with the 3E exams, but vaguely remembered that early awakening was a rare thing.

"Maybe? When I enrolled last year, there were three new students who awakened early during the 3E exam." Chen Motong leaned against the door frame and said indifferently: "Maybe awakening early is popular now?"

"Is that so?" Professor Lauren touched his bald head, feeling something was wrong.

Lu Mingfei felt a headache when he saw the candidates around him all looking like Van Goghs. He could only glance at their paintings, find the similarities, and randomly draw a few of them.

He finished the painting, but the exam was not over yet. Is there a rule for leaving the exam room early for the Kassel College 3E exam?

He could only helplessly lie on the table and sleep, thinking in his heart: life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God.

So he fell asleep comfortably.

It was easy for Xia Mi to draw. She would draw a dragon character whenever she heard one. The same was true for Genjiro and Uesugi Eri.

Ignoring Lu Mingfei, she turned her gaze to the one she didn't recognize among the five people who were not immersed in spiritual vision.

The girl who seemed to be called Zero was of mixed race from Russia.

Xia Mi became interested as she watched her sketch out the dragon character.

The dragon script is very accurate, even has some standards, and the brushwork is far beyond what Eri can draw. You have to know that Eri is eroded by the blood of the royal blood and the blood of the dragon king. From the perspective of a normal mixed-blood, she has almost reached the end. As the mother tongue of a person with dragon blood, naturally the higher the bloodline, the more familiar one is with dragon script.

But Ling Zhuo hid it and distorted the standard writing style of dragon script by using regular writing method.

The only flaw was that this kind of destructive distortion was too stable, just like a machine without any vibration. She had stably distorted all the dragon characters at 80%. In Xia Mi's opinion, this was a huge flaw!
How can one stabilize and distort the written dragon characters if one does not know the standard dragon characters?
There is a person or a dragon behind this girl! Someone has taught her to recognize and write the orthodox dragon script!
Xia Mi wondered if she could use this girl to find out who was behind Kassel Academy?
After the girl named Ling finished her painting, she put down her pen and stretched her wrist. After the exam, she looked back at Xia Mi. The two girls, both with extremely delicate and stunning faces, looked at each other. One had a slight smile on her face, while the other had a cold expression and her eyes were as calm as those of a dead person.

"Wake up, don't sleep anymore, the exam is over!"

Chen Motong, who was passing by, shook Lu Mingfei who was sleeping on the table, then when he woke up, he took out the answer sheet from the bottom and continued to collect questions from the students below.

Her passing broke the strange gaze of the two girls.

After she walked past, Zero had already withdrawn his gaze and was sitting there like nothing had happened.

After collecting all the answer sheets, Chen Motong put them into the black box for safekeeping. Professor Lauren nodded to her, then took the test paper and gave it to Norma for marking.

After Professor Lauren left, Chen Motong did not ask the candidates to leave the examination room immediately. Instead, he walked up to the podium and said, "Candidates with A grade and above can stay. The rest of the candidates can leave."

People walked out of the classroom in small groups, leaving only a dozen or so people.

"Genjiro and Uesugi Erie can leave too."

They will not participate in dragon-slaying operations outside of Japan. With Uesugi Yue watching over Kassel Academy, Angers cannot do anything under his nose, otherwise the cost will be too high.

After all the irrelevant people had left, Chen Motong said:

"The traces of the King of Bronze and Fire were found under the Three Gorges Dam in China. You need to participate in this operation. Of course, you will not be the main force, but I will just take you to see the world."

Lu Mingfei was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the moment of becoming a dragon-slaying hero would come so quickly.

When Xia Mi heard this, her eyelids twitched involuntarily. She didn't expect to meet another Dragon King just after entering Kassel Academy. This was something she had not expected.

She felt a little excited inside.

She was about to ask a few questions when Chen Motong looked at her and Lu Mingfei and said, "Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei, you go to the capital of China. The academy has also received news that the King of the Earth and the Mountain is in the capital of China, but we don't know where he is yet, so we need to send someone to search for him."

"?"

Several question marks floated over Xia Mi's head, and the excitement in her heart just now immediately dissipated, and she felt like her butt was on fire.

The fire did burn her buttocks. Someone pointed out who was where by name. More importantly, he was not talking nonsense! The King of the Earth and the Mountain was really in the capital of China!
She was in a daze and had only been away from the capital for a few days when she immediately packed her bags and returned to the capital.

When she got off the plane, her brows were furrowed and her face looked serious.

"Xia Mi, where should we go?"

It was Lu Mingfei’s first time in Beijing and he was a little hesitant about where to go.

Both of them flew back by themselves after finishing their exams. The first batch of students and specialists who came to China were picked up directly by the college's chartered flights.

Hearing his words, Xia Mi came back to her senses and said, "Let's go to the hotel where we are staying and meet up with the seniors first."

"Ah."

Lu Mingfei nodded and followed Xia Mi.

……

It was not until the academy was empty and he did not come back to play games with her that Eri realized something was wrong. She asked for information and then asked Uesugi Yue with a worried look on her face, "Have Zhang Baiqing and Sister Xia Mi returned to the country to deal with the Dragon King?"

Uesugi Yue nodded: "Yes, and this time there are two Dragon Kings in China, the situation is quite dangerous."

"I hope Zhang Baiqing and Sister Xia Mi are okay?" Eiry had a worried look on her face.

"How could they be in trouble? If anything, it would be their Dragon King who ran into trouble. It would be bad luck for that Dragon King to run into them."

Uesugi Yue curled his lips. This kid was so mysterious that it was hard to tell what was going on. Even though he had read the ancient books that had been passed down by the Eight Snake Families for thousands of years, he still couldn't figure out what was going on with Zhang Baiqing afterwards.

Although Xia Mi was very kind to him and cured Eri's illness, it doesn't mean that she is necessarily a good person. She just showed herself to be a capable person.

"Ah."

Although Eri was worried, she could only nod.

When she returned to the dormitory, Xia Mi had gone back to her country, and she was left alone.

Eri was bored and flipping through some books to kill time. She saw the interpretation of the constellations inserted in the books and saw her own constellation.

The introductions to the constellations seemed to be quite accurate. She suddenly became interested and started reading them carefully.

When she turned to the introduction of a certain constellation, she found that the constellation written on it was inconsistent with her own constellation. She stopped and silently calculated in her mind.

Then she muttered softly: "As the ancients said, my destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God." She tore up the page of paper and threw it into the trash can.
