He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out the blueprint for the body-refining furnace that had been left in the crevice. A small, circular object was pulled out with it, and the light from the crystal chandelier made it shimmer with a golden luster as it quickly fell to the ground.
Just as the golden object was about to hit the ground, it suddenly stopped.
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. This was the most valuable thing he had obtained on this journey, even more valuable than the Divine Refinement Hundred Refinements, the core, and the blueprints for the Body Cultivation Furnace.
It was one of the rings that her future father-in-law gave to Yan Yan.
Lu Mingfei pushed aside the sofa next to him, squatted down solemnly, and picked up the golden ring that was floating above the carpet with trembling hands. The metal ring seemed to still retain some warmth. He could smell the girl's body fragrance on it. The ring was losing its temperature, but it felt warm in his hand.
She had said she would give him the ring when they got engaged, but she secretly slipped it into his pocket just before they parted.
This is the biggest takeaway from this trip.
He's also someone who's about to get engaged.
Holding the ring in my hand, I tentatively extended one finger to try and put it on, but stopped just as I touched the edge of the ring and withdrew my hand.
It's no fun wearing it by yourself; it's more worth celebrating if she puts it on you.
Lu Mingfei held the ring in his palm and pressed it to his chest, as if she were right next to him, still surrounded by the scent of a young girl.
"Hey hey hey..."
He held the ring and grinned foolishly, looking completely dazed.
After a long while, Lu Mingfei put the ring on a string and wore it around his neck.
Pick up the blueprints for the Body Refining Furnace again and retrieve its core.
He had opened and looked at the contents of the core.
It is a wriggling, deformed mass of flesh. If one had to describe it, it would be very much like the five internal organs of a human being, kneaded together in some special way. It wriggles slowly and one can even see bright red special organs. It feeds on Qi to maintain its survival.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had checked the thing's condition before and occasionally fed it Qi, which allowed it to successfully "live" and continue to do so until now.
The core is still alive. The next step is to figure out how to manufacture the Body Cultivation Furnace and modify it to be more suitable for the physique of hybrids.
For him alone, there are many materials he needs to purchase, and his world also has alchemy that can "kill" metal, so the materials he uses cannot be the same as before, plus the need for a secret area with alchemy.
It cannot be easily achieved.
If cooperation is the choice, Kassel College is not the best option, given the complex composition of its board of directors and the unknown proportion of those who are either conciliatory or radical.
If a cultivation furnace capable of altering the physique of a hybrid is ever created, it will be destroyed by accident the next day.
His cultivation furnace would appear in some unknown little place in some form and continue to operate.
As for others... Nuwa is within her consideration, and the Gao Tinggen family is also worth considering. They are obsessed with alchemy and would definitely be very curious about such novel things. They might even offer to provide all the alchemical materials.
Just as Lu Mingfei was hesitating, his phone beeped with a message from Guderian.
He invited Lu Mingfei to the "ice cellar," a place not easily accessible to others.
Legend has it that the "Ice Cellar" is the safest place in Kassel College. I wonder if it receives the same treatment as Hogwarts, which is frequently invaded.
As we all know, words like "invincible" and "safest" have negative connotations; they often mean the enemy will be invaded, defeated, or even destroyed, or launched into space.
Lu Mingfei tidied up his belongings, putting unnecessary items into his Devouring Pouch. The Devouring Pouch could hold unconscious things, and its capacity was quite large. As for how many cubic meters it contained, he had never measured it. Anyway, with a lot of clothes and miscellaneous items thrown inside, it didn't even show any signs of being full.
He wandered around the Kassel campus.
Wherever he went, he was met with envious or jealous glances.
Although Lu Mingfei wasn't the MVP in Freedom One Day a while ago, he was still a very abstract and strong hybrid.
The only half-blood who embarrassed Caesar was Lu Mingfei. Caesar didn't dwell on Lu Mingfei's abstract behavior, but instead blamed it on his own lack of strength. He even reduced the time he could spend appreciating the white-stockinged dancers.
Lu Mingfei lived in Kassel College for several dozen days, but he was unaware of its layout. He even stumbled upon a secret rendezvous between two students before finding the special location known as the Ice Cellar.
He used the access code provided by Guderian to open the door and successfully entered.
After undergoing multiple security checks to ensure that Lu Mingfei carried no dangerous items or anything that could threaten the ice cellar, he was allowed to pass.
He saw Guderian as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.
At this point, Guderian no longer possessed the spirit he had initially displayed.
Her once neatly combed gray hair was now completely disheveled, her cloudy and bloodshot eyes looked like they hadn't rested for days and nights, her former big belly had long since disappeared, she had lost a lot of weight, and her clothes no longer fit properly, hanging loosely.
This was the first time Lu Mingfei had ever seen Guderian look so haggard.
With his extremely serious expression, he instantly understood that Guderian had encountered something that was giving him a real headache.
When Guderian saw his favorite student, he still kept a stern face and said very briefly.
"Mingfei, what you brought back is quite extraordinary. Come with me!"
"?" Lu Mingfei looked puzzled. What did he mean by bringing back something? It's been a month already...
It was his own past month, while the people in his world had only spent a few hours.
He carefully recalled what had happened more than a month ago.
It seems they brought back a dragon-script recording and a flesh-and-blood alchemy matrix.
It seems the academy also retrieved the body of the half-breed who attacked them.
"Have there been any results regarding those matters?"
"Well, I can't tell you much here. Follow me." After losing weight, Guderian strode briskly, leading Lu Mingfei to an experimental site.
Pushing open the door, you'll see a one-way glass wall, through which you can clearly see many lab mice inside. Outside, there's a sound mixing device and a high-tech pair of headphones.
"Take this with you." Guderian handed it to him.
An audio recording quickly played in the headphones. It was a recording that Lu Mingfei had previously made of the dragon pattern, which directly caused Charlotte and Chu Zihang to have extremely strong aggressive desires.
"I knew it! I knew it!" Guderian's face flushed red as he watched Lu Mingfei listen to the recording without any abnormalities, and he shouted wildly with joy.
His blood-red eyes flashed with an eerie light as he stared intently at Lu Mingfei, scrutinizing Lu Mingfei's body again and again, as if trying to dissect Lu Mingfei completely with his gaze to examine his exact anatomy.
"The descendants of the White King are definitely descendants of the White Priests."
These words were not heard by Lu Mingfei, who was wearing headphones.
Lu Mingfei took off his headphones and asked.
"Professor, what research findings have you made on this recording? I haven't studied such profound aspects yet, and I only have a superficial understanding of this recording."
“Yes, yes, of course I have. I’ve been studying this recording for days and nights,” Guderian said, putting on another headset and turning on his microphone.
He opened the one-way glass, and inside were countless white mice.
Lu Mingfei had a bad feeling in an instant.
“Mingfei, this is the chant of the Emperor of Words.”
Guderian then played a recording.
Lu Mingfei could faintly hear the distinctive, hidden sound of the dragon's markings coming from the headphones placed on the control panel; it was ancient and quaint.
“The Emperor of Words has been restored, but there are still some differences from the original. However, it can still be used in ranks and can exert pressure on most hybrids and dragons, except for the descendants of the White King,” Guderian explained.
"Of course, it can only intimidate animals with a high content of dragon blood."
The mice in the laboratory were completely unaffected.
"This is the recording you brought back."
As soon as the game started, the mice began screaming maniacally, their red eyes seemingly filled with blood, eerie and terrifying. They attacked their companions, and within minutes, all the mice were torn apart. The mice that were left with only half their bodies died.
"Do you know what it means to be able to directly affect creatures with extremely low or even no dragon blood?" Guderian grabbed Lu Mingfei's arms, trembling, his face filled with madness.
"What does it mean?" Lu Mingfei hadn't expected that this small recording could have such a big impact.
Guderian took out a dozen or so strips of paper, lined them up, and muttered to himself.
“I compared all the Words of Power, as well as the most fundamental Words of Power Emperor, and even so there were still some omissions. I couldn’t find the development of ‘Killing Words of Power’. But when I looked in reverse, I found a part of ‘Killing Words of Power’ in all the Words of Power, even the Words of Power Emperor.”
"In other words, the 'Slaughtering Words of Power' is even more profound, more ancient, and closer to that legendary being than the Words of Power Emperor."
“Being even closer to Nidhogg, the Black Dragon King, than the Emperor of Words, I deduce that this ‘Slaughter Word’ is very likely a Word he created himself—a completely new Word!”
Guderian's face turned deathly pale in an instant, even paler than a corpse.
He trembled with fear, the paper in his hand fluttering to the ground, seemingly taking away his reason.
Guderian burst into maniacal laughter.
"I understand, I understand! I'm gradually coming to understand everything!"
Guderian suddenly appeared in front of Lu Mingfei, grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and his long nails dug into Lu Mingfei's skin.
"He is alive! He has not fallen. He is ready to rise again at any time, and once risen, He will take revenge on our entire world. He has already begun to act. This 'Word of Slaughter' is a revelation: we will all die! We will all die!"
First, I was happy to have cracked the source of the recording, then I was shocked to find that the source of the recording was so distant and terrifying that even hearing it again would give me goosebumps.
Then I felt a chilling fear.
Will Nidhogg, the Black King, immediately resurrect and destroy the entire world?
Such shocking news left Lu Mingfei speechless. He had just begun to have a bright future, and now it was about to be destroyed?!
His fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly, but Professor Guderian in front of him was even more frightened than he was, so he had to start comforting him.
"Professor, calm down!" Lu Mingfei activated his telekinetic defense, blocking Guderian's fingernails.
"The Black King hasn't recovered yet, so don't panic or get nervous!"
"No! He has begun to recover, he has begun to recover! I can hear it, I can hear His whispers to me, He is tempting me, drawing me into His embrace." Guderian shook his head frantically, pounding his head with his fists as if trying to expel the voice from his head, not stopping even when he broke his scalp.
"Quickly! Guderian has gone mad again! Someone, hold him down!"
Suddenly, several people rushed in and pinned down Guderian, who was so thin he was almost unrecognizable. The frail Guderian burst out with great strength, broke free from their hold, and pounced on Lu Mingfei.
"Mingfei! It's up to you, it's all up to you! You must stop the Black King, he'll kill us all!"
Guderian collapsed to the ground with a thud, three anesthetic injections in his buttocks.
The men who broke in removed the anesthetic needle from Guderian's buttocks, put him in a straitjacket, and carried him away.
"Wait a minute," Lu Mingfei called out to one of the people who was about to leave.
Is what Professor Guderian said true?
The person did not answer, glanced at the bloodied and mangled laboratory, lowered their head, and left the laboratory.
"I rely on!"
