Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 405: Moon over the Sea (4)

"Brother, can I ask you a question?" Lu Mingfei couldn't resist his curiosity.

It's very impolite curiosity, after all, it concerns my senior brother's pain.

"Forget it, forget it, it's okay." Lu Mingfei said again.

"Yeah." Chu Zihang would not chase Lu Mingfei to ask what the problem was.

Just enough.

But Chu Zihang had corresponding guesses in his mind, either about childhood experiences or about Xia Mi.

Chu Zihang didn't want to say more about these two things.

"Ling, in which province are we docking?" Lu Mingfei asked Ling.

"Lingnan." Ling said.

Lu Mingfei really wanted to ask Ling if he was tired of standing like this all the time.

I would also like to ask if Zero is in cahoots with the principal and vice-principal.

Lu Mingfei had some doubts, but he didn't dare to speak them out. He couldn't bear to gamble with his friends. If he won, he would be sad, and if he lost, the other party would be sad.

"It's still a long way from home." Lu Mingfei muttered.

"Take the train back." Chu Zihang said, "The college will monitor the information of each flight, so it's easy to be exposed. Buy scalper tickets to ensure that the information will not be entered."

"Brother, do you know this? I've only seen it in TV dramas."

"Han Qiu taught me. He mentioned it to me when we were chatting before." Chu Zihang explained: "But now train tickets have also started to use real names, so it may not be so easy to operate."

“Han Qiu, that guy, really has more solutions than problems.” Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Han Qiu is in the country." Ling said.

"What?" Lu Mingfei frowned, "He really isn't hiding in Japan!"

"Yeah." Ling calmly stated what he knew: "He walked to the center of the stage with great fanfare, and many families began to take action."

"That guy's strength...are those families rushing to die?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

Chu Zihang frowned slightly, "Judging from Japan's performance, if it was only Han Qiu, he would not be able to cope with the pursuit of those families."

"Jörmungandr hasn't been found yet." Zero said calmly.

Chu Zihang remained silent and did not respond.

Lu Mingfei felt that these two people were too naive. After all, they were not in the academy and his identity as a monster had been exposed, so why should he care about Han Qiu?

“You may not know.” Lu Mingfei sat up and said seriously, “Do you know how the White King died?”

"You killed him." Zero replied.

As expected, Chu Zihang continued to remain silent, expressionless.

"I didn't solve it alone. Without Han Qiu and Xia Mi, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Han Qiu...he can also transform." Lu Mingfei said.

Ling stared at Lu Mingfei and told him the details of the situation at that time: "The original plan was that you would delay the White King and send him to the predetermined location, and then the space-based kinetic weapons provided by Gattuso would kill the White King."

"Um...it was the devil that controlled the body at that time, I don't know." Lu Mingfei continued to restrain himself from asking Ling.

This girl knows too much.

Why do I always feel like Ling is trying to trick me into asking? Lu Mingfei thought.

But I don’t have the confidence to ask.

"That is to say, Han Qiu is indeed a dragon and possesses the strength of a first-generation king." Chu Zihang concluded.

"Well, that guy is really good at pretending." Lu Mingfei said.

"He might be doing this to protect himself, or for some other purpose. From history and our experience, dragons, even the first generation kings, have been avoiding conflicts with hybrids." This kind of topic is Chu Zihang's strong point, "But I have faced Fenrir and Jörmungandr, and I understand that kind of strength, even if it has flaws, is still superior to hybrids."

"Um... Senior Brother, are you praising them for being so great?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand what Chu Zihang meant.

"I'm just explaining the contradictions of dragons. It's hard for me to understand. With their pride and strength, there is no reason for them to hide from hybrids and ordinary people." Chu Zihang said.

"Maybe they were scared. After all, the history of the secret party is a history of slaying dragons, and its record is glorious." Lu Mingfei said.

Lu Mingfei majored in history, and he thought he had some say.

Chu Zihang also sat up, shook his head slightly, and said, "I know all that history. I have read all the ancient books in the academy library. In fact, most of the wars that the secret party fought against dragons ended in failure, with only a few being tragic victories."

“Brother…you’re making it seem like I wasn’t serious at the academy.” Lu Mingfei said awkwardly.

He was beaten by his senior in his own professional field.

My almighty brother...

Chu Zihang ignored Lu Mingfei's nonsense and continued to explain: "I don't doubt that the combination of alchemy and technology can kill dragons, but the conditions are very harsh. In short, dragons have no reason to be afraid of hybrids, so correspondingly, those dragons' disguises must have other reasons."

“Brother, you think too much. Maybe they like cosplay.” Lu Mingfei’s words were lame and useless.

"I just want to clarify some things." Chu Zihang said.

Lu Mingfei felt that his senior brother was thinking about the words and actions of dragons because of Xia Mi.

Lu Mingfei was too embarrassed to expose this matter.

"The Secret Party's research on dragon history is very limited." Zero's cold words were full of contempt for the academy: "In fact, the Secret Party does not seek to understand dragons, they just need to know how to kill them. Compared to history, the Secret Party is more interested in the habits and abilities of dragons."

"You seem to know something." Chu Zihang stared into Ling's eyes.

"I don't know the true history of dragons, I just have a guess. I have read all the ancient books in the academy library." Ling said.

Lu Mingfei scratched his hair. He felt like a poor student sandwiched between two top students.

No, the college's library is so big! There are so many ancient books, have you two finished reading them?

Aren’t you feeling sleepy?

"Can you tell me?" Chu Zihang remained polite.

Ling nodded. "The Academy defines Nidhogg's death as a landmark event in the decline of the dragon race. Judging from the historical fragments in the ancient books, this is indeed the case. The first generation of kings began to hide and evade the pursuit of the hybrids only after Nidhogg's death. And it was not just one king who did this. All eight kings took corresponding actions. They disappeared from history. Norton traveled far away, and it is difficult to find any trace of the King of Sky and Wind and the King of Ocean and Water to this day. It's like they made an agreement."

"It's similar to what I guessed." Chu Zihang said.

It was rare for Ling to say so much: "It could be that the king's power was damaged, or it could be for a certain purpose. Nidhogg's death is unlikely to shake the dragon clan's rule. These histories are most likely not as simple as described by the academy."

"Can I say a few words?" Lu Mingfei wanted to interrupt.

Chu Zihang and Ling both looked at Lu Mingfei and nodded.

"I feel that I have two different feelings when facing the White King and Norton... Old Tang and his friends don't have greed for the world, but more of a sense of sadness and pain. They don't care so much about the throne or not... But the White King is greedy for the world. He wants to rebuild a world ruled by dragons, and the highest place belongs to him." Lu Mingfei said: "Is it possible that the White King died too early and didn't experience some things, so he is different from Old Tang and his friends in terms of thinking?"

"I don't know." Zero said.

"It's possible." Chu Zihang said.

Lu Mingfei lay down helplessly. "Forget it, forget it. I'm going to sleep. I feel like I can't get a word in on what you guys are talking about."
