A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 408 Cheat Codes
Despite it being the cold end of December, Lu Mingfei inexplicably felt as if it were still the height of summer, and Kassel seemed to be ablaze with heat.

This isn't about temperature, but rather the atmosphere. Recently, Lu Mingfei has often seen his senior, Fingel, and a group of seniors from the Kassel Press Club having incredibly enthusiastic discussions about how to put on a spectacular wedding.

Seeing his senior classmates excitedly offering suggestions and coming up with all sorts of romantic and quirky ideas, Lu Mingfei easily felt that he was somewhat superfluous.

Lu Mingfei actually wanted to help his senior brother Finger, but unfortunately he knew nothing about the wedding industry and couldn't offer any good ideas.

His biggest contribution was probably Lu Mingfei's suggestion that firecrackers could be set off at the wedding, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

That day, Fingel and Eva, accompanied by paparazzi from the news agency, said they were going out to inspect the quality of wedding photography companies. If the photography skills didn't meet the news agency's standards, they would simply blacklist them and find another company.

As for Kassel's closed-loop management? Are there no trains during non-holiday hours?
Finger said none of this was a problem; he had a way to get everyone to skip school, and even more, he could call a train through Norma. So the couple, surrounded by paparazzi from the news agency, temporarily left Kassel.

So Lu Mingfei could only sit alone in his empty room, staring at the pork knuckle he had brought back from the cafeteria, and sighed, "Sigh, getting married."

It always felt like something very far removed from him.

"Brother, do you want to get married?"

Lu Mingfei jolted awake, turning his head left and right to look around: "Lu Mingze? It's not that I wanted to, it's that Senior Brother Finger is getting married."

Honestly, that little devil is always like that, suddenly appearing and startling me!
"Here." With a slight creaking sound from the bed frame above him, Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Mingze supporting himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, his two little legs dangling in the air and swinging gently. His little leather shoes clinked softly, and the bed frame made a soft sound.

Lu Mingfei reluctantly got up: "What? Are you going to put your shoes on before going to bed? And leather shoes at that?"

As soon as they got up, Lu Mingfei noticed Lu Mingze's attire, which was still as luxurious as ever. He wore a well-tailored custom-made navy blue suit with delicate mother-of-pearl buttons peeking out from the cuffs. His short white hair was close to his forehead, and the ends of his hair swayed slightly as he swayed his legs.

"This is really unconventional," Lu Mingfei thought to himself. "When is this little devil going to stop dyeing his hair?"
Lu Mingze looked embarrassed, completely not expecting Lu Mingfei to care about such a question: "Brother, look carefully, the shoes are not on the bed."

"I don't care if you stepped on it or not, just get down here first." Lu Mingfei waved his hand rapidly, "I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you!"

"A problem?" A voice suddenly came from behind.

This time, Lu Mingfei wasn't scared. He was already used to the little devil's unpredictable and teleporting antics. He calmly turned around and looked at Lu Mingze, who was sitting on the windowsill pretending to be a melancholy little kid: "What's the point of pretending for me?"

"Forget it, do you know what zero is?" Too lazy to waste words with Lu Mingze, this little brat is a natural pretender, and it's like asking him not to pretend is going to kill him, so it's better to just ask him directly if you have a question.

This was something Lu Mingfei cared about a lot. During the previous battle at Hongjing, he was inexplicably knocked unconscious by the sound of a clapper on the radio. After losing consciousness, he seemed to dream of a frozen port, where there was even his childhood friend, Renata.

It was as if they had met before, but Lu Mingfei recalled it many times and still couldn't remember it. He had never been to such a cold port, let alone met young Zero in the port.

Lu Mingze could guess what Lu Mingfei was thinking without Lu Mingfei saying everything. The little boy even opened the window, letting the evening breeze ruffle his white hair: "What?"

"Does my brother want to marry Zero?"

Lu Mingfei's face flushed red upon hearing this, utterly unable to comprehend Lu Mingze's bizarre thought process: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not even of legal age yet!"

"Not to mention zero, he looks even younger than me."

"Tch." Lu Mingze scoffed at this: "How can the laws of the human world restrain you, brother? As long as you want, you can ignore all constraints."

Lu Mingfei raised his hand to cover his forehead. He wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out. Lu Mingze's arrogant attitude made it impossible to persuade him: "Don't interrupt. I accidentally fainted during the battle at Hongjing."

"While I was unconscious, I dreamt of Zero and a frozen port. Although it was just a dream, it felt incredibly real, as if I had experienced it myself. Do you know what happened?"

Lu Mingze knew this, of course, but it wasn't the right time yet. His brother hadn't fully traded away his life. Thinking about this, Lu Mingze felt secretly annoyed.

Originally, everything was planned perfectly. During the battle at Tokyo Red Well, they were even prepared to merge with his brother, and he had even arranged for Mai Shude to bring the Seven Deadly Sins. However, the two brothers were affected by the sound of the clapper, and Lu Mingze missed a trading opportunity.

Lu Mingze himself never expected that the sound of the clapper would have an effect on the two brothers, causing his older brother to fall into a coma. This was unimaginable.

These two brothers are emperors who will rule the entire world, how could they be swayed by a mere clapper? Therefore, Lu Mingze has already remotely ordered Su Enxi to have as many doctors and medical researchers as possible study how to repair the pons surgery.

In the Tokyo incident, Lu Mingze, who failed to make a deal again, could only look for another opportunity. Regarding his brother's question, he still gave a little response: "Zero's childhood name was Renata, and she used to live in Black Swan Port."

“Black Swan Port? Oh right, the port I saw in my dream was Black Swan Port, but that’s not Herzog…!” Lu Mingfei suddenly stopped speaking, the timing didn’t match up!

Black Swan Harbor was at least twenty years ago. How could he have met Renata, who was already a little girl back then? Considering the timeline, twenty years ago, Lu Mingfei was probably still in his mother's womb. After asking one question and receiving an answer, a barrage of more questions followed.

Seeing Lu Mingfei like this, Lu Mingze jokingly interrupted, "Brother, you've realized it too? The timing doesn't match up? So, don't assume someone is young just because they're petite."

"If you ask me, brother, you're just dreaming about what you've been thinking about during the day."

"You like Zero so much? So much that you want to marry her, that you can dream about her when she was a child? Wow, brother, you're a bit of a pervert."

"You son of a bitch!" Lu Mingfei couldn't take it anymore and rushed up to teach Lu Mingze a lesson, but he missed. Lu Mingze teleported from the windowsill to Fingel's chair.

Lu Mingfei wasn't stupid. He knew that Lu Mingze was unwilling to talk about it, and no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get any further information. Therefore, he could only keep Renata's matter to himself and asked a more pressing question: "Do you know... my parents?"

Lu Mingze has always been mysterious, yet he seems to know a great deal of information. Lu Mingfei has a vague feeling that Lu Mingze must know the answer to this question.

"?" Lu Mingze was genuinely surprised this time, not understanding why Lu Mingfei suddenly asked about this. The ancient city/dark river on Bello Island had consumed a lot of Lu Mingze's energy, which was why his hair hadn't turned black yet.

Therefore, Lu Mingze occasionally needs to fall into a short sleep to recuperate, and he is unable to watch over his female brother as he used to. As a result, he is unaware of Pompeii's words: "Of course I know, Lu Lincheng, Qiao Weini."

"Brother, do you want to find them?"

Lu Mingze was slightly excited. If his brother really made up his mind to find their parents, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to escape!
"Nonsense! Of course a son wants to find his parents! Do you know where they are?!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed excitedly. "Tell me quickly, where are they? By the way, the Arctic, are they in the Arctic?!"

"?" Lu Mingze was even more confused than before. No, how did his brother know everything?
Lu Mingfei caught Lu Mingze's shocked yet slightly confused expression. This was the first time he'd ever seen such an expression. Before, the little devil Lu Mingze was always incredibly arrogant, as if he had everything under his control.

For the first time, he showed such an unexpected and confused expression in front of Lu Mingfei, which was tantamount to admitting that Lu Lincheng and his wife were in the Arctic. Lu Mingfei was very happy. Uncle Pompeii had not lied to him. His parents really were in the Arctic!
Lu Mingze was stunned for two seconds before quickly reacting: "Brother, how did you know?" The secret hideout of the Doomsday Faction should be unknown to everyone.

Lu Mingfei trusted Lu Mingze a lot, that's true, but the thought of telling Lu Mingze that Qiao Weini had swindled most of Uncle Pompeii's fortune was still a bit difficult to bring up.

In Lu Mingfei's heart, he had always had many fantasies and idealized images of his mother, Qiao Weini. However, Uncle Pompeii's words caused a slight crack in this perfect image of his mother.

After all, Lu Mingfei is still sensible and knows how to distinguish right from wrong. If he were to describe it truthfully, he would feel guilty, like a bad child speaking ill of his mother.

In addition, he was anxious to find out where his parents were: "Oh, don't worry about that, I'll tell you when I have time. Just tell me, where are my parents in the Arctic?"

Lu Mingze frowned strangely. What was going on? His brother had learned about Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini's affair from some source, and he was actually keeping it from him?
Or did the brother promise to keep it a secret? Given the brother's character, he would definitely keep his promise. And what the brother said is right, that's not important. The person who knows this doomsday faction's top secret is most likely someone who has been investigating for many years and has finally found out something.

We don't need to worry about Angers; the important thing is that my brother is preparing to come to the Arctic.

Lu Mingze's heart gradually leaped with joy. He would finally be able to see his brother in reality. If he planned it out, he might be able to escape this cage completely!
"Black sheep wall."

Lu Mingze uttered a cheat code that Lu Mingfei recognized very well, which puzzled Lu Mingfei: "Isn't this a cheat code for StarCraft? I know this stuff by heart, why are you saying this?"

“No.” Lu Mingze pointed out the window: “If you were in the real world, you could read out this cheat code and get an exact location, the location of Lu Lincheng and his wife.”

"Really?" Lu Mingfei was extremely skeptical. If it were some incomprehensible dragon language, he would believe it to some extent. How could reciting a game cheat code grant him abilities comparable to the power of words?
Lu Mingze was speechless and sighed, "Just use it without worry. Consider it a small gift from me, a salesperson, to please you after knowing you for so long. If you're happy with it, remember to contact me for a transaction."

"Sigh." The two brothers seemed to be having a sighing contest, and Lu Mingfei also sighed, "Don't say that, I believe you, okay?"

"Even if the cheat code you gave me works, and I can find out my parents' exact location, it's still useless. I can't possibly venture into the Arctic Circle alone, can I? Instead of giving me the cheat code, you should think of a way to get someone to safely transport me to the Arctic."

"Tch, brother, you're really pushing your luck. You know..." Lu Mingze was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when he suddenly sat up straight with an unusually serious expression, staring northward as if his gaze could penetrate the dormitory wall and reach into the distance.

What happened in the north? Lu Mingfei could tell that Lu Mingze was extremely tense at the moment, something he had never seen before.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to ask something in surprise, Lu Mingze suddenly vanished, as if he had never been to the dormitory: "No? He's gone already? Where is he? Lu Mingze? Lu Mingze!"

"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, looked around like a thief, and muttered under his breath, "Black sheep wall."

In an instant, something forcefully entered his mind—a vast, white, endless blizzard, emanating guiding directions. In the darkness, Lu Mingfei followed the guidance, looking north: "It really can... point the way?"

Before Lu Mingfei could be surprised for long, the school bell rang rapidly under the cover of night.
