Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 238 Gullveig
Norton Building, first floor lobby.

Lu Mingfei and Caesar sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

Inside the duplex villa, which was used exclusively for club activities, an awkward and silent atmosphere descended.

In Caesar's eyes, the hideous demon had transformed into a handsome boy, but he still looked down on people and would occasionally glance at him with his eyes high. Caesar then looked at his own shoulder, saw nothing amiss, and then touched the top of his head.

A sycamore leaf was swept off and floated onto the smooth floor.

Lu Mingfei stopped looking up, squatted down next to the coffee table, and focused intently on enjoying his meal.

Caesar let out a long breath, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

I'm starting to doubt if everything I just experienced was an illusion. I had a nightmare the moment I walked in, and I still haven't fully woken up from it.

"You didn't have dinner?" he asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Hmm, I am a little hungry."

Lu Mingfei wiped his mouth and looked up again to extend an invitation: "Let's eat together, I ordered too much."

Kassel College, of course, offers late-night snacks: Western-style truffle bread, pan-fried foie gras, hamburgers, and roasted pork knuckle; Chinese-style dumplings, fried skewers, and even rice noodle rolls and whole roasted goose...

The silver trays, piled high like a small mountain, were stained with various shades of brown and were casually placed on the table he usually used for meetings.
Next to him was an open suitcase, inside which were neatly stacked transparent sealed clips that had been de-aired. Inside were ancient bronze scrolls that Caesar recognized as the "Fragments of the Ice Sea." Normally, they should have been stored in a top-secret area of ​​a library or ice cellar, but now the oil from roast goose was almost spilling onto them.

In addition, there were a jumble of boxes, labeled with the word "ice cellar" as a secret, piled up behind the table in the manner unique to local specialties, looking like they were about to be pulled out and given away at any moment...

"Such a funny scene shouldn't appear in my dreams," Caesar thought.

goo goo-

My stomach was rumbling with delight; the allure of delicious, appealing food always whets my appetite.

Caesar never followed the path of asceticism.

"Ok."

After a moment of silence, he squatted down next to Lu Mingfei, picked up a skewer of chicken wing, and started gnawing on it.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei offered Caesar another goose leg, which Caesar did not refuse.

[Evaluation: King of the Arctic.]

……

Lu Mingfei pulled a bottle of champagne from the push-top freezer, drank it down, and exhaled a puff of carbon dioxide with great relish, then looked at Caesar's rather handsome and unruly face with considerable interest.

Honestly, this guy has a lot of problems.

This was something Lu Mingfei confirmed at first glance.

The 'normal panel' visible from a human perspective provides a considerable amount of information.

Sub-species, Gullveig, Nibelungen, Kungunir, Gattuso, Evangelical Fellowship, Son of God, Container...

And the 'spirit panel' is even more problematic; the issues are simply outrageous.

But it tastes just right.

Seeing a series of intricate and sinister labels, it's hard not to think of Caesar's 'designated target'.

Although the term 'android' is used to describe the special status.

However, according to the patterns that Lu Mingfei has now summarized, 'artificial human' is usually just a broad concept. First of all, the creator is not necessarily 'human', and secondly, the thing created is not necessarily 'human'.

Just like his 'Shadow Warrior No. 2', it looks like a human and has no 'bloodline', a standard template of an ordinary person.

However, during the modification phase, Lu Mingfei discovered that the body contained a large number of special glands and organs that were different from those of normal humans. The source was most likely dragons, which meant that the body had gained the perception of a certain power through imitation or transplantation. The core steps involved alchemy.

The Caesar before them was an even greater expert, possessing a completely pure-blooded dragon-like appearance.

—He does not have the "Word of Power" field, nor does he possess a 'True Name'.

In other words,
The panel further concluded that the 'Caesar Gattuso' before them was not a human-hybrid.
It is a dragon species named 'Gullveig'.

What are dragons?
Isn't this kind of thing a monster born to take revenge on the world?
Their roars across the heavens and earth, their dragon blood spilled only to ignite the entire world. They have no emotions, and humans do not need to understand their emotions. On the battlefield, they simply draw their swords, their sharp claws and teeth roaring as they kill each other.

This is the doctrine of Kassel College: dragons cannot be communicated with; they are monsters filled with rage, and only steel blades and gunpowder can maintain the peace of this world.

But who would have thought that the two most famous people in the academy were one who was the egg of the Dragon King, and the other who was simply defined as a dragon.

As dragons, they are naturally not bound by a single 'word of power'. Both the secret faction and the orthodox faction record that pure-blooded dragons usually master multiple words of power and are not bound by the element represented by their bloodline source. They can generally use words of power across different domains.

The underlying principle is suspected to be related to spiritual energy, namely the spiritual field, a domain that has always been ignored and doubted by hybrids because they have not yet fully mastered this power.

But strangely, Caesar was very different from normal dragons.

Lu Mingfei checked the Kassel College database in the afternoon and learned that Caesar Gattuso, an A-level student at Kassel College, had only one Word of Power, and even after experiencing a life-or-death crisis during his internship in the Execution Department, he did not show any abnormalities.

Serial number 59, 'Kamaitachi'.

Well, it's a bit of a letdown, but not completely a letdown.

Kamaitachi is a wind spirit in Japanese mythology. Its effect is to create a large domain centered on itself, establishing complex sound channels within the domain. The purer the bloodline of the caster, the larger the domain's range. Legend has it that ancient dragons, through this power, could hear the whispers of humans from the heavens. After the invention of precision firearms, the practicality of this power was greatly enhanced. A skilled marksman paired with Kamaitachi would have every bullet seem to be equipped with radar, it's simply... well, I can't keep up the hype.

Logically speaking, anyone with a decent bloodline should possess the ability of a 'passive Kamaitachi'...

Full of wine and food.

“Lu Mingfei, I have to thank you,” Caesar said, throwing away the bone in his hand.

"Ok?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it because of late-night snacks? There's no need for that."

"Of course, thank you for the late-night snack too."

Caesar wiped his hands and stood up, his posture and expression quite solemn: "It's because of Nuonuo's matter. Chu Zihang told me about it."

"Oh, it's nothing, no need to thank me."

Lu Mingfei shook his head and continued to devour the last box of salmon rolls with cheese. Unlike Caesar, who was simply tasting it, he and Angers had been wandering around the ice cellar all day and were now genuinely hungry.

"Moreover, the matter is not completely over yet."

"What is not over?" Caesar asked.

Lu Mingfei chewed on the smooth, delicate fish meat and said, "The Chen family... isn't completely gone yet. One of the most crucial members is still alive, and I think I'll find him soon." "The Chen family? Nuonuo's family?"

Caesar frowned visibly: "Could you be more specific?"

Lu Mingfei swallowed a mouthful of salmon roll, not in a hurry: "Can't understand? What did your senior brother tell you before?"

"Senior brother?"

"Oh, you mean Chu Zihang."

Caesar recalled the posts on the Night Watchers' discussion forum about Lu Mingfei, which mentioned that this young school board member and Chu Zihang both came from the little-known 'Shilan Middle School'. Soon after, someone anonymously wrote an original pure love infinite flow BL short story called "Binhai College Entrance Examination", which was obviously written by a paparazzi from the news department.

Without realizing it, Caesar's gaze became somewhat strange.

While waiting for Lu Mingfei's message that evening, I idly read it.

All I can say is that I regret it.

Lu Mingfei swallowed the fish and stared at Caesar, saying, "Gulvig, I feel like you're thinking something very rude."

Caesar gave an awkward but polite smile. "Ha, no, Chu Zihang just told me some things back then..."

"Wait, what did you just call me?!"

He suddenly shuddered, an incredulous look appearing in his icy blue eyes.

"Gulweger, is there something wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked calmly.

"Oh."

Caesar breathed a sigh of relief. It was Gulweg... He had thought it was Gulweg.

That dreamlike feeling welled up again, faint yet real.

Caesar pinched the bridge of his nose, wondering if he had been too sensitive lately, causing him to be under too much pressure...

"You haven't finished yet, keep going... Do you want a Coke?"

Lu Mingfei pulled out a can of Coke, twisted it open, took a sip, and then handed another can to the blond youth in front of him.

"OK, thanks."

Caesar did not refuse this common drink; after eating greasy and spicy food, the combination of 'sparkling water' was indeed his favorite, rather than 'sparkling alcohol'.

A crisp 'snap'—

Caesar took a sip, looking quite relaxed, as if hearing that name etched in his heart had been nothing but an illusion from the beginning. He didn't even notice that the clock in the Norton Hall was ticking at a different speed than usual.

He began to recount his conversation with Chu Zihang that afternoon, "Chu Zihang told me that when you were in Japan, you provided shelter for Nuonuo, as well as a lady surnamed Uesugi..."

Lu Mingfei calmly watched Caesar.

I silently made a note of it in my mind.

"When Caesar heard the name 'Gulveig,' he didn't have a severe rejection reaction, unlike Nono."

Previously, this occurred after a confrontation with Angers in the principal's office.

During their visit to the ice cellar, the conversation naturally turned to Caesar.

To be honest, if you judge based on the information provided on the panel, Lu Mingfei really thinks that Caesar is the sect's prodigy, and Hilbert Jean Angers is Caesar's protector.

The reason is simple: it is known that the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountain, two of the Four Lords, are all on their own side, constantly dying and being reborn, and have no time to care about others.

Then it is obvious which "god" the "son of god" could be.

Even if we take a step back and assume that 'God' doesn't refer to the King of the Sky and Wind, but rather to a member of the 'Elders' Council,' it's still the same group of people in the end.

Angers, on the other hand, said that he was very familiar with Gattuso. The acting head of the family named Frost and the head of the family named Pompeii should be alright. The core problem might lie with the elders of the Blue Palace. There was a group of old immortals who were kept alive by life support pods. They were the true rulers of the Gattuso family.

Angers had met him once before, and he had a very dangerous feeling about him. However, since he did not have concrete evidence, he ultimately did not choose to escalate the conflict completely.

After all, Frost's 'advice to take action' can be understood to some extent as a power struggle.

But now that Lu Mingfei is being so straightforward... Angers naturally can't object to a more radical strategy.

However, the most crucial issue at present is how to deal with Caesar.

This is a problem.

Lu Mingfei gazed thoughtfully at the young man in front of him who was slightly affected by 'Senro'.

"The resistance is higher than I expected... even comparable to Nicholas's."

Inside the ice cellar, through Norma's information, Lu Mingfei gained a comprehensive understanding of Caesar.

First and foremost, one must be a good person.

As early as the first year of enrollment, many students had already uncovered Gattuso's illustrious and authoritative background. However, this academy was known for producing madmen and geniuses, and a large number of skeptical individuals challenged this emperor of the Gattuso family.

—But without exception, they all lost to Caesar.

Whether it was sports like swimming, horse racing, and free fighting, or chess, musical instruments, and cultural knowledge, Caesar was proficient in everything. The heir of the Gattuso family, raised according to the standards of an 'emperor,' showed the students of Kassel College what it meant to be a born genius and a hardworking monster. This monster's name was Caesar Gattuso.

Caesar's pride was innate. Aside from his irrational emotional path, most people's impression of him comes from his first words upon entering the academy: "You may challenge me, but I am ready to laugh at you."

But unexpectedly, after defeating his challengers, Caesar did not mock them as he had previously stated. Instead, he extended his hand to the losers and generously praised them:
"You are actually very talented, but it's a pity you met me. However, I believe you have the potential to be even more outstanding and perhaps even surpass me. I look forward to that day, so I will have a new challenge to challenge you."

To be honest... the 'good guy' image presented in the materials,
This surprised Lu Mingfei.

The students at the academy were even more shocked, especially the challengers from all walks of life, who were all convinced of Caesar's character and charismatic leadership, and no longer challenged his authority, even though Caesar did not have an overwhelming advantage in some areas.

According to unreliable sources, not only girls, but also some gentle boys were moved by those sea-blue eyes, claiming that they had grasped the meaning of 'love that transcends gender'. In the past, whenever the student council held activities, these people could be seen around Norton Hall, and Caesar would often grant their requests for autographs or handshakes.

Secondly, there is birth.

Norma, like the general public, believes that Caesar's irrational views on love stem from the influence of his family of origin.

Although Caesar received the highest level of education from the Gattuso family, he was at odds with his family from the bottom of his heart and often publicly criticized the entire Gattuso family and his father, Pompey Gattuso.

According to the database, Caesar's mother's surname was 'Gulvig'. She was an ordinary mixed-race person, considered of lowly blood in a wealthy family like the Gattuso family. She married Pompeii Gattuso out of some kind of 'love factor'.

To sum up the couple's story in one sentence: a woman of humble origins married a man of noble birth, had a child, and then died.

It wasn't until Caesar demonstrated his superior lineage and was designated as the family heir that the belated blessing was bestowed.

But the woman named 'Gulveig' was already dead, and because of this, Caesar developed a deep conflict with the Gattuso family.

The specific details were not recorded in the database, as they involved the privacy of the core members of the school board's family. However, Angers added that Pompeii Gattuso was an old friend of his and that he knew the man well.

It is highly likely that Pompeii had no love for Ms. Gulweger whatsoever.

The fact that the two of them could get married was something that surprised everyone.

"So what exactly happened during Caesar's birth?"

Lu Mingfei gazed at the young man before him, whose eyes occasionally betrayed a struggle, and seemed lost in thought.
"Gullveig, Son of God, Son of Pompeii..."
