A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 332 I Can't Do It
In the golden autumn of October, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

Lu Mingfei, now a sophomore, once again sat in the increasingly familiar office of the Kassel principal. An old-fashioned green glass lamp illuminated the steaming Darjeeling tea and the freshly baked chocolate cake.

Lu Mingfei's hands and feet were ice cold. He turned his head to look at Caesar, who was smiling and cutting a cigar on his left, and then turned his head to look at Chu Zihang, who was silently drinking tea with a blank expression on his right, and Fingel, who was eating cake with great relish.

The loser finally looked back and saw Chen Motong and Su Qian, the two senior sisters, pointing at the cake and arguing about whether eating cake after dinner would make them gain weight.

No, so among the students invited to the principal's office, was he the only one worried about this mission? Why were the senior students so relaxed?

Lu Mingfei, who had made it to his second year in Kassel and was no longer a novice in the mixed-race community, had a very bad feeling when the principal of Angers summoned him to this office again.

Seeing that all the senior students had arrived, my heart was in my throat. A mission! It must be a very troublesome and dangerous mission that they needed to carry out!

Principal Angers has used this tactic countless times, and it's given Lu Mingfei PTSD.

Help! No! Lu Mingfei screamed inwardly. He was just a weakling with no strength, so why did Cassel always send him to the battlefield whenever something happened?
Lu Mingfei desperately wanted to borrow a dress from the two senior sisters opposite him, wipe away his tears with a handkerchief, and say, "I can't do it!"

The air suddenly went still, as if the little devil Lu Mingze had appeared and temporarily 'froze' time, but something was wrong.

Unlike Lu Mingze's time-stopping ability in the past, Lu Mingfei could clearly feel a dense heat on his face, as if someone was watching him, and not just one person.

Lu Mingfei looked around in confusion, but couldn't find Lu Mingze. Instead, he noticed that Caesar's cigar-cutting motion had stopped, Chu Zihang was holding a teacup but not drinking anymore, and Fingel, with his mouth full of chocolate mixed with cream, had stopped eating.

The two senior female students also remained silent, no longer discussing the issue of cake causing weight gain.

Moreover, everyone is watching him.

What's going on? Lu Mingfei couldn't understand why he had suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, being stared at intently by his senior brothers and sisters.

Sitting behind his desk, Angers, enjoying a cigar and black tea, smiled and raised his hand to gently pinch his right eye socket: "The word '臣妾' (chenqie) in Chinese is usually used as a self-deprecating term for women of official positions in ancient times."

Leaving aside the others, Fingel, who was closest to Lu Mingfei, immediately teased after licking the chocolate cream off his lips: "Mingfei is this age now, huh? Which man are you thinking about, the one I'm talking about?"

Lu Mingfei's expression froze for a moment, then quickly turned red!
He was numb, numb from head to toe. Had he just accidentally blurted out his innermost thoughts? And the principal and his senior classmates had overheard him?

At this moment, Lu Mingfei only wanted to melt away completely, to flow under the table and sofa, and rot in the shadows, rather than continue sitting here being watched by his senior brothers and sisters.

At this point, would saying "I'm going to find a quiet place to die" be enough to get through it?

Absolutely not!
"Ha, hahaha..." Lu Mingfei realized he couldn't melt, and could only laugh awkwardly: "I, I've been watching too many period dramas lately, my brain, my brain hasn't caught up yet."

"No, no... I wasn't thinking about any men, hahaha."

Chu Zihang's gaze was slightly strange as he turned to look at Fingel. If Lu Mingfei were to do *that*, wouldn't Fingel be the most dangerous one? They were roommates who spent every day and night together.

Chen Motong noticed Lu Mingfei's embarrassment, as if he wanted to dig the floor of the principal's office to pieces, and helped change the subject: "Alright, Principal, now you can tell us, what task did you call us here for?"

Everyone's not stupid. Lu Mingfei had a premonition that there was a mission, so how could his senior brothers and sisters not have guessed it?
At the same time, Chen Motong was also carefully observing Principal Angers. He couldn't see any abnormal signs in Principal Angers at all. He was exactly the same as the Principal Angers in the past. His own church was really powerful.

Lu Mingfei cast a grateful glance at Chen Motong, feeling that Senior Sister Nuonuo was too understanding and had not let him continue to be sociable.

Upon hearing this, Angers did not explain himself, but instead asked the college secretary, Norma, to project surveillance footage from the streets of Tokyo onto the screen in his office.

Caesar and Chu Zihang's expressions immediately turned serious. They both recognized familiar faces in the surveillance footage. Caesar recognized Yuan Zhisheng, while Chu Zihang recognized Ince, the traitor wanted by the old church.

Norma's cool voice came from the surrounding speakers: "According to street surveillance footage from Tokyo, Ince, a former member of the Church of Japan, has appeared at the Kassel branch."

“Based on videos taken and uploaded from different angles by passersby…” At this point, Norma played a few videos, switching to the next one after finishing one: “Preliminary assessment is that the situation at the Japanese branch is almost out of control.”

"He disobeyed the orders of headquarters, had close ties with the Tokyo Diocese of the Old Church, and acted in concert to pursue Ince, a traitor wanted by the Old Church."

"During the operation, the apostate Ince claimed that he would steal the power of the White King by studying the research of Dr. Herzog, the leader of the Ghosts. This was the core purpose of Ince's defection from the Old Church."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang, Susie, and Fingel all shared the same thought as Aso Makoto: Is that all?
Just for the power of the White King? To betray the old church?
Is this Ince out of his mind?
Chen Motong stared blankly at the video, listening to Ince revealing that the King was a clone of Herzog.

clone?

Chen Motong was particularly sensitive to this word! Because her nominal father, Chen Liyu, liked to use clones when he was out and about.

Finally, it was discovered that the cloning technology originated from an organization called the Holy Palace Medical Society. Now Herzog also has clones? It is necessary to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Caesar's expression became much more solemn. The White King? The incident on Bellow Island involving the Black King Nidhogg had only just ended, and now another incident related to the White King was about to occur?
It seems that the past few years have indeed been a period of frequent resurgence for the Dragon Kings. Countless experts in the hybrid race circle are speculating that the Black King has returned and the dragons have revived.

Lu Mingfei's face turned pale, his heart pounding with fear. Wait, how could there be any apostates from the Old Church? The White King, Genjiro, and the Old Church all involved!

If all of this is related to the Kassel mission, then this loser of his will be in dire straits if he goes to Tokyo. Previously on Bello Island, Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze made a deal, and he can't renege on it this time. Lu Mingfei has already paid a quarter of his life, and now that he's a sophomore, he can say that he's lived a quarter of his life.

All in all, half a lifetime is gone. If he encounters danger again in Tokyo and has to make a deal with the little devil Lu Mingze, then he will only have one-quarter of his life left.

How many more years do I have left to live?

"No way!" Lu Mingfei felt an overwhelming sense of resistance, not even waiting for Norma to finish explaining the situation: "Um, that principal, hahaha, me, even though I'm such a drag, I still have to participate?"

“I can stay in the academy and cheer on my seniors. If I insist on going there, it will only cause them to take care of me.”

Chu Zihang and the others knew the truth and understood that Lu Mingfei had not lied. If the mysterious Lu Mingze did not come out, Lu Mingfei's strength was indeed weak.

Caesar, on the other hand, simply glanced at Lu Mingfei with a disgruntled look, as if to say, "This guy is starting to keep a low profile again." Caesar couldn't understand why there would be a mixed-race person like Lu Mingfei who loved to play dumb and take advantage of others.

First came the battle in the capital, then on Bello Island, where he decisively defeated Odin and Pegasus. Such a record has spread to almost every mixed-race group in the world.

It's like the whole world knows you're a tiger, but you're still pretending to be a pig. What's the point? Caesar simply couldn't understand it.

Seeing this, Angers pinched his right eye socket again with his right hand: "Mingfei, you're joking. You're the Bodhisattva of the Road, praised by our faculty and students. How could you possibly hold us back?"

"Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you don't speak Japanese. You've met the half-bloods of the Snake Clan several times, and they all speak Chinese."

Lu Mingfei blinked. He wasn't nervous about the language barrier; he was nervous about his own life!

Damn it, Lu Mingze misled him! Why does he always have to show such strength? Now every mission in Kassel comes to him. He's just a loser, how can he handle it?
“In short,” Angers’ expression gradually became serious, “you are already aware of the specifics. This time, the academy needs a few of you as Kassel commissioners to go to the Japanese branch first to understand the latest situation and gather intelligence.”

"To provide relevant intelligence to the main force, thereby killing the White King and thwarting the conspiracy."

"Because of the Black King Nidhogg incident, we and various forces are already extremely busy, and we are still continuously deploying the latest sonar detection equipment to seas around the world."

“Recalling manpower, reorganizing the team, and refining alchemical equipment will all take time, and it will be difficult to assemble a large force in a short period of time.”

"I can only trouble those of you who are still in school to make a trip there first. Our main force from Kassel will arrive in Tokyo in five days."

"Based on your performance on Bello Island, overall, you are even better than the most elite team in the Execution Department, so the task of leading the charge is entrusted to you."

The others nodded in agreement; rather, Angers' arrangements perfectly suited their needs.

Caesar wanted to achieve even greater feats to surpass his rivals Chu Zihang and the rising star Lu Mingfei.

The battle on Bello Island, with Chu Zihang's feat of killing Odin and Lu Mingfei's instant kill of Odin and the eight-legged winged horse, put Caesar under immense pressure.

If he doesn't achieve something soon, he feels he will slowly lose the will to compete with Chu Zihang. He must seize this opportunity!
Chu Zihang and the others had a simpler idea: they originally wanted to complete the church's internal wanted order, but they didn't know where Ince was before.

Even if Fingel tried to divine, he couldn't get a result due to interference. Now that he knows where Ince is, he certainly can't let him go.

Lu Mingfei breathed a huge sigh of relief. They were just the vanguard? The main force was to follow.
That's fantastic! It means that the battles with Ince and Herzog can be left to the main force. He just needs to go there in advance to eat and drink and act as a commissioner. He won't be involved in too much danger, which suits Lu Mingfei's wishes perfectly.

Hehe, this way I can avoid trading with Lu Mingze and save a quarter of my life. What a win!

“Norma has packaged all the video intelligence and the compiled data and sent them to your respective phones.” Angers stood up, holding a cup of red tea, and said, “I’m leaving the preliminary investigation to you.”

This scene was not limited to Kassel College; the veteran families of the Secret Party, the various families of the board of directors, and other forces also dispatched many mixed-race individuals to converge on Tokyo.

Even Lu Mingze's men were drawn to Ince and went to Tokyo.

On the private jet that took off from the Three Gorges, Mai Jiude, carrying a large black suitcase, walked to Su Enxi's master bedroom. Su Enxi, her face covered in cucumber slices, turned her head and asked, "So? Did you get what the boss wanted?"

"Look, this is the pinnacle of the Bronze and Fire King's masterpiece, the Dragon Slayer weapon, the Seven Deadly Sins."

"I thought I'd have to deal with that dragon servant in Bronze City, but the dragon servant wasn't even there. I got my hands on him so easily."

Su Enxi walked up curiously, examining the black box from all angles. She even tried to pull out a sword, but couldn't manage it no matter how hard she tried: "Tsk tsk, when did the boss need to use physical alchemical weapons?"

"Isn't it all just about coming up with a couple of conceptual weapons and starting to fight?"

"Go put on your cucumber slices." Shude Mai slapped Su Enxi's hand away impatiently. "Why ask so many questions?"

If you're not going to ask, then don't ask. Why be so fierce? Su Enxi glanced at a certain part of Jiu De Mai's body, a talent that even she was jealous of.

He snorted, left the master bedroom, and urged the pilot to speed up the journey to Tokyo.
