Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 109: Thunder and the Watcher (19)

Dragon Raja 5

The cool stream gurgled, cicadas chirped endlessly, children ran around the bamboo bed, nearby farmers came to sell melons, and an old man leisurely swatted flies under the lamp. At that time, Lu Lincheng also talked to him in this haphazard manner.

In the conversation between the father and son, there is the little sister next door, the little frog family in the wheat field next to the residential area, and various brain teasers.

Lu Lincheng answered all the questions without delay or hesitation, as calmly as a flowing river. Even EVA, a near-omniscient artificial intelligence, couldn’t do that. She could analyze Lu Mingfei’s life, but she couldn’t pay attention to those seemingly meaningless whispers on those summer nights.

“I miss you guys so much.” Lu Mingfei said softly.

“We missed you too.” Lu Lincheng said, “You did a great job. Your mother and I are very happy.”

Holding the microphone, Lu Mingfei slowly squatted down, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and he couldn’t stop them once they started.

Outside the window, the rain fell quietly. He squatted there, crying loudly, his voice so loud and clear that it pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks, and he was just about to throw a tantrum. The people around him were quietly flipping through books, no one knew, and no one paid any attention. He felt like he was crying at the end of the world, and the only person who could hear him was the man on the other end of the phone.

In fact, he didn’t want to, it was just that kind of grievance that suddenly surged up. The previous moment you thought that I was a real man who would risk my life for thousands of miles and kill anyone who stood in my way. Don’t think of me as the coward I used to be; the next moment you suddenly feel that you are so tough and hard, but no one will listen to you even if you cry.

“Ming Fei, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but I can’t answer them at this moment.” Lu Lincheng said, “You’ve grown up, and there are some things you have to face on your own… For example, fate.”

It would be too pretentious for a father and son to talk about such an illusory word as fate, but when these two words came out of Lu Lincheng’s mouth, they sounded very meaningful.

Lu Mingfei’s crying suddenly stopped. He rubbed his nose, took two deep breaths, and calmed himself down. “Dad, tell me.”

“Time is running out. Our conversation could be monitored at any time. Remember everything I say next. You are in danger. Don’t trust anyone. Some people in the academy are just stupid, but some are out to get you. Before the Day of Judgment, the Dragon Kings will awaken and will instinctively come looking for you, so you must be especially wary of those around you. They could very well be hidden Dragon Kings.” Lu Lincheng spoke quickly, faster and faster, as if the time left for them was running out. “There’s a pen and paper on the table next to you. Remember these coordinates: N77°36′40.36″ North Latitude, E104°14′6.84″ East Longitude…”

Lu Mingfei wrote a few strokes and suddenly stopped. “Is this… that port?” he asked hoarsely.

The coordinates given by Lu Lincheng are located in northern Siberia, close to the Arctic Ocean, in a vast wilderness and extremely cold land. Many years ago, it was said that there was a port there.

“That’s where it all started.” Lu Lincheng whispered.

“Where do you want me to go?”

“You don’t have to go. If you don’t want to go, run away quickly, run away as far as possible, the farther away from there the better.” Lu Lincheng paused, “But if you don’t go, you won’t know the truth, and everything that happened will have nothing to do with you.”

“You want me to choose?”

“You’ve grown up. I told you that there are some things you have to face on your own.”

This time, Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time, then he smiled silently, “I have made my choice.”

Lu Lincheng was silent for a long time. “Very good. Boys should be brave. Brave boys will never be looked down upon.”

“I remember.”

“Don’t take Chen Motong with you, she can’t go there.” Lu Lincheng hung up the phone.

The small bookstore suddenly returned to normal. The sounds of wind, rain, and books turning pages became clearer, as if an invisible glass cover had just covered Lu Mingfei and the old-fashioned telephone.

The waiter who passed by with coffee looked at Lu Mingfei curiously. The guest was standing quietly holding the receiver of the old-fashioned telephone that was used as a decoration, with a look of both joy and sadness on his face.

“Sir, can I do something for you?” the waiter asked softly.

“No, no, I’m fine.” Lu Mingfei hung up the phone.

Now he saw clearly that the phone didn’t even have a signal line, and the call just now seemed like a dream. However, he actually held a piece of paper in his hand, with the coordinates of northern Siberia written on it.

Dad was right. Brave boys are never looked down upon, especially since he’s no longer a boy. Perhaps only those who care about you and have known you for a long time would treat you like a child because they still remember you as a child.

In fact, Nuonuo was the same. Chairman Lu didn’t pay much attention to what she said in the glass attic. First of all, he already knew all that. Secondly, Nuonuo’s tone was basically as if she was talking to a “boy”.
