The skylight pierced the dense forest and turned into tiny spots of light that fell on the forest leaves all over the ground.
Lu Mingfei stepped on the fallen leaves covering the ground and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. Thick fallen leaves were piled on the ground, making a rustling sound when he stepped on them. The surrounding vegetation was lush, and the chirping of birds was clear and sweet.
"You said that Eriki walked out of Genji Heavy Industries accompanied by Gen Zhisheng and started walking around?" Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze standing aside in astonishment.
They were walking in an unknown dense forest in England, not far away was a sparkling lake.
The place is sparsely populated, has dense vegetation, and the air is fresh and pleasant. Except for a few hot winds that rustle the trees nearby and the chirping of birds in the distance, it is actually quite peaceful.
If it weren't for the wrong time, he might have invited his senior brothers and the others to have a picnic.
"Yes, so brother, you have to speed up, otherwise if one day the girl you like falls in love with some lucky guy who appears out of nowhere, you will have no chance. This is how it is played on TV now.
The wealthy daughter falls in love with a poor boy."
Lu Mingze's mean voice sounded in the forest.
Lu Mingfei ignored the guy's "Yes" and a lot of nonsense, and he was a little distracted.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
What happened to the turtle that caused him to suddenly undergo such a change?
After much thought, he could only attribute the cause to himself.
"Is it because of the CD I gave you?" He put his hand on the rough tree trunk next to him, stopped and asked.
"I don't know!" Lu Mingze squatted down, stared at a beetle in the grass, and sighed, "Brother, don't treat me like a god. You should know how much I weigh by now. If I can
The all-knowing and all-powerful One has already defeated everyone and sent you back to the throne."
"Sorry, you have always been omnipotent in my heart before. To be honest, the contrast is a bit big now. I still can't accept such a useless person like you." Lu Mingfei said apologetically.
Lu Mingze felt as if he was struck by lightning. He turned around and grabbed his brother's trousers, and said eagerly: "Brother, I didn't dislike you when you were a waste before. You can't give up all the time!"
Lu Mingfei babbled three times: "Don't use idioms blindly. What starts with chaos ends up abandoning it. This is called burning bridges across the river! You taught me what you taught me at the last auction. I just learned and applied it!"
He walked straight forward. The afternoon sun was much weaker after being blocked by the heavy leaves, and the climate in the forest was very comfortable.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally walked out of the dense forest and stood in front of the lake.
The surface of the lake reflects the color of the blue sky. The entire lake is not big, only two or three times larger than the school swimming pool. The water quality is extremely clear, and you can vaguely see the faint shadows of a few swimming fish passing by.
Lu Mingfei stopped in front of the lake, squatted down and tested the water temperature. It was ice cold, which was perfect in this hot summer.
"That's it, right?"
"If that guy didn't lie to you, this would be it."
Lu Mingfei squatted by the lake and licked the dry corners of his lips.
According to Jiang Liu, he dug the scabbard at the bottom of this lake and finally mailed the scabbard to Denmark.
It is basically impossible to trace the scabbard. Regardless of whether the opponent is Odin or Loki, these two brothers will not leave them any clues that can be followed. Lu Mingze has already tried it, but the result is no.
It goes without saying.
In the legend of King Arthur, the dying King Arthur asked his knight Bedivere to throw the excalibur into the middle of the lake at the last moment of his life. However, Bedivere hesitated twice and did not throw the holy sword into the lake until the third time.
A woman's hand stretched out from the lake and took the hilt of the sword, and the holy sword returned to its origin.
It is worth mentioning that in the legend, the holy sword named excalibur was forged by the elves in Avalon. The sword was made of gold and the hilt was inlaid with gems.
The so-called gem was most likely the one Jiang Liu found in Egypt, and Lu Mingfei guessed that it was the alchemical core of the entire sword.
"Brother, I must remind you that according to legend, even if the scabbard is here, the sword will not be here. After all, in the legend, King Arthur lost the scabbard long ago." Lu Mingze was not optimistic about this trip.
"I know, I don't have high hopes, but I won't be reconciled if I don't come and take a look." Lu Mingfei took a cup of lake water and washed his face, "Yesterday Qilan called me."
Lu Mingze asked curiously: "What answer did your chief prophet give you?"
"It can be summed up in one poem." Lu Mingfei raised four fingers, "Suddenly looking back, the sword was in the dim light!"
"What a poem!" Lu Peng Ke Mingze applauded enthusiastically.
But Lu Mingfei drooped his eyebrows and said sadly: "What a fart! After hearing his answer yesterday, I looked back so hard that my neck almost broke, and I didn't see this sword appear in the light!"
Lu Mingze scratched the back of his head and said: "Brother, dimming means that the lights gradually fade away, and dimmed refers to a place where the lights are sparse and scattered. Nowadays, it is often used to refer to a deserted and desolate place. You need to study!"
Lu Mingfei said angrily: "I don't care if it disperses or not, just tell me whether it's under the light or not!"
Seeing that he was unable to communicate normally, Lu Mingze simply threw up his hands and shrugged, saying in one breath, "Brother, whatever you say is yours, I support you unconditionally."
"Support me unconditionally?"
"Definitely!"
"Then take off your clothes."
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
"Stop it, take off your clothes quickly and go into the water to find my sword!"
Lu Mingze looked shocked: "Brother, aren't you going to take action yourself?"
"I'm out. Didn't I come here? But I can't do the work in the water, right? Whose boss have you seen doing the work personally every day?" Lu Mingfei followed the lead.
Lu Mingze's eyes widened and he said, "You should have told me if you were short of manpower. I'll ask my nanny team to go out and search all over the place. The results will come out in one day. You don't even have to come. Just leave it to the school. I'll just send the sword to you."
Come to your dormitory!"
"Do you really think I'm just looking for the sword?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "I'm here to see if there are any other clues. I don't expect to find the sword here. That kind of clue is not your nanny.
The group can find it.”
"for example?"
"For example, the body odor of a foul-smelling woman has persisted for thousands of years, and there are traces of it that are imprinted in time."
"Hey, you have a sense of the scene. Brother, aren't you afraid of her revenge when you scold her behind her back like this?"
"You said you scolded her behind her back, what should I be afraid of?"
"That makes sense!" Lu Mingze gave a thumbs up for his brother's bravery!
"By the way." Lu Mingfei remembered something and turned around and asked, "There were some things you didn't fully explain last time. Why on earth did that woman hand over her authority to Odin?"
"You have lived for too long and you want to die?" Lu Mingze said, "Who knows what that woman is thinking, she is a creature of the same era as us, just like she couldn't guess what you were thinking, brother."
No matter what, we can’t figure out what that guy is thinking.”
The slightly hot summer wind blew through the dense forest, creating ripples on the lake surface. Schools of fish swung past under the ripples, leaving behind a silhouette.
"Click."
Lu Mingfei raised his camera and captured this beautiful scene.
"Huh? What did you just say?" He turned around and asked in confusion.
Lu Mingze said speechlessly: "Brother, you didn't come here to find clues, you came here to take pictures, right?"
This place is some distance from the Kassel campus. He came here on Professor Romanti's private helicopter. He got off the helicopter outside the dense forest. Before coming, he even borrowed a camera from Professor Romanti because he had heard a friend say that this place is here.
The scenery is very good, I am going to take this opportunity to take some photos.
Of course, the point is that Professor Romanti believed it.
The journey took only ten minutes, but he walked for nearly half an hour because of various photo opportunities along the way.
Lu Mingfei fiddled with the camera in his hand and made sure to capture the scene before he said with satisfaction:
"This is just by the way. Didn't you say that Eriyi has started to contact the outside world? That's just in time. Then you can help me develop the photos and find an opportunity to send them to her. It's really beautiful here. I want to
She also takes a look."
Lu Mingze sighed and said: "If you really want her to see it, you might as well bring her here directly. There are many places in the UK that are more beautiful than here."
"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future, not just here, I want to take her to see the ends of the earth!" Lu Mingfei raised his head and squinted at the sun behind the clouds, laughing.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Lu Mingfei put away the camera, took off his shoes and socks, sat by the lake, and put his feet into the water.
Lu Mingze also followed his example and sat down, and the two brothers just sat by the lake and soaked their feet.
"Brother, do you want to have a showdown with me?"
"It's not a showdown, right? You should have guessed some things."
"Humph, after all, you have no intention of hiding it at all, and I happen to be one of the people in the world who understands power best."
Lu Mingfei rowed in the lake, collected his thoughts, and said slowly: "After I regained the throne, I did use power as a bargaining chip to complete a deal with a certain guy, but I still haven't figured out the identity of that person."
"That person? You didn't even know who the other party was, and you just completed the deal with her?" Lu Mingze asked doubtfully.
"I really don't know his identity, but I trust you." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "You were the one who told me about this deal."
Lu Mingze looked shocked and said, "You mean, it was me in the future who asked you to make a deal with Him?"
"right."
"Did that person declare his family name?"
"He calls himself God."
"You call yourself a god in front of us after returning to the throne? It's really interesting." Lu Mingze chuckled, "But it allows you to completely reverse the flow of time and return to the present. This ability can indeed be regarded as a 'god'."
Famous."
"Yes, the ultimate power of the dragon clan can indeed change the past, but..." Lu Mingfei paused and said, "This has exceeded the ultimate power of the dragon clan, and is an area that we have never touched."
"Brother, it seems that we are falling behind. During the years we have been sleeping, someone has already entered the realm above us."
Lu Mingze suddenly said: "Brother, you said that you used power as a bargaining chip to complete the deal with that person, so what part of the power did you lose?"
Lu Mingfei's brows gradually wrinkled.
"I... don't feel like I've lost anything yet."
"This is interesting. You used power as a bargaining chip, but the other party didn't accept your bargaining chip. Or did it mean that he wrote you an IOU and asked for it later?"
Lu Mingfei lowered his head and thought.
He had indeed ignored this point, and now that Lu Mingze had awakened him, doubts and heaviness arose in his heart.
"Don't think about it. You don't even know who the other party is. No matter how much you think about it, you can't come up with any results." Lu Mingze reached out and touched his brother's head, showing pity in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei slapped his hand away and said angrily: "That's because of your guarantee. At that time, there was no one else around me except you. I don't believe who else can you trust."
Lu Mingze looked innocent: "But I was not who I am now. At least now, I don't even know that such a person exists. Besides, in the end, only you and I are left to depend on each other? Ah, it's so sad, I think
I can’t help crying just thinking about it!”
"Why do I feel that you are secretly enjoying yourself?" Lu Mingfei asked suspiciously.
"Illusion! It's definitely an illusion!" Lu Mingze said righteously, "I am filled with sadness and have nowhere to vent!"
"So brother, are you suspecting that the person you are dealing with is actually that bad woman?"
"...I'm not sure. I was very tired at that time. Everyone was dead, and we were the only ones left sitting on the throne. It seemed like we were back to the past, but I didn't like the us we used to be. We were too cold and aloof.
It feels very strange to me. Even if the memories flow back to me one by one, I am still full of resistance and unwilling to admit that it was us."
Lu Mingfei looked at the undulating lake surface not far away and said softly.
"At that time, when I suddenly heard you say that I could do it again, my heart was filled with joy that I had never experienced before. Plus, it came from you, so I didn't have the mood to think about other things."
Lu Mingze silently listened to his brother's almost whispering confession, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.
I don't know if it's because my brother doesn't want to admit who they were, or because he has more than just himself standing in his heart, and there are other figures as well.
But he quickly dismissed this complicated emotion from the bottom of his heart and asked: "Then do you still remember what the other party said?"
Lu Mingfei frowned, began to recall, and then repeated what the other party said at that time.
"He said..."
"Looking at all history, there are only three people who have become kings. You are the fourth person and the first person."
"This time, will you switch?"
"besides……"
"Someone offered me the throne, and then he betrayed me."
"Someone once exchanged immortality with me, and then he slept in the Nibelungen for a long time."
"Those who go against the flow of time will inevitably pay the price."
"You who go against the flow of time, I will once again witness the years you have walked."
He recounted the exact words in his memory one by one.
Lu Mingze thought for a long time, his golden eyes flickering uncertainly.
"Brother, have you noticed that He used the word 'this time' when asking you if you want to trade? Who did the trade with us in the past?" Lu Mingze said quietly.
Lu Mingfei remained silent and whispered: "The only thing I can think of is the woman in Avalon. But the problem is that in your story, she has handed over her power and mission together with
Odin!"
Lu Mingze said calmly: "What I know may not be the truth. This story is indeed what I saw with my own eyes. I even played a role as a guide in this story, but sometimes what I see with my own eyes may not be the truth."
, the eyes can be deceiving.”
"Brother, you shouldn't worry about who He is. You are thinking in the wrong direction. You should think about what position He exists in this world."
"Is it myself? Dragons? Human beings? Or all living things? Or... this planet?"
"This planet is huge and its history is long enough to bury any story."
"Even we were just children who came into this world at first. It was only because we discovered strength and grasped the supreme power and power that we finally ascended the throne and overlooked all living beings."
"Different positions will determine that He will make different choices. Judging from the conversation between you, He has completed transactions with three people in total."
"The identities of these three people are all guesswork. He has revealed enough information, almost without any concealment."
"From these three transactions, I can see that his position is biased toward neutrals, or... observers."
Lu Mingze slowly spit out the last three words. This chapter has been completed!
