Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 47: Old Friend (16)

Dragon Raja 5

“Where do you come from?” The crow was stunned.

“The reason the academy is looking for me is probably because I’m suspected of attacking the principal and stealing dragon bones. I might be a dragon spy who has been hiding his identity, right?”

“Yes, they also believe you’re a very dangerous monster, easily out of control. The information they sent us included a video of you transforming into a dragon. Honestly, I was terrified the first time I saw it.” Crow paused. “They also said you might have killed Dragon King Norton, Dragon King Fenrir, and Herzog.”

“Yeah.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

“Hmm, that’s a rather hasty answer, isn’t it?” The crow’s eyes widened. “Did you really do it? Come on, look me in the eye and talk!”

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked directly into the crow’s eyes. “I killed him, so what?”

“But Herzog died when the Sword of Scourge bombarded China! We even found a large amount of tungsten in his remains!”

“I was the one who held him back. I fought him there, but I was still a bit outmatched. However, he didn’t know that he was in the center of the Sword of Scourge’s attack range. He was very fast, and if I hadn’t held him back, he would have been able to avoid the Sword of Scourge.”

“Then Norton and Fenrir…”

“Those two times, they were killed directly.”

“That’s too easy! Did you swat a mosquito to death or step on an earthworm on the road?”

“It would take quite a while to explain it in detail,” Lu Mingfei tried to explain to Crow in a calm tone. “Anyway, my special ability is to transform into a monster. A very powerful monster, capable of killing the Dragon King. However, this ability has serious side effects, so I can’t perform it in front of you, but what I said is true.”

Lu Mingfei handed a tissue to Crow, “Do you want to wipe your mouth first?”

The crow was staring at him blankly, wine dripping down his chin.

Crow took the tissue, wiped his mouth roughly, and continued to stare at Lu Mingfei blankly.

“Actually, think about it this way. In the thousands of years that the Secret Party has been fighting against the Dragon Kings, how many times have they been able to kill a Dragon King and hunt for dragon bones? But since I enrolled, the Secret Party has repeatedly succeeded in defeating the Dragon Kings, and I was there every time.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “It may sound a bit like bragging when I say this suddenly, but really, I did all that.”

The crow was silent for a very long time, and finally its eyes came back to life, and it seemed that its head could work again.

He raised his head and poured the glass of wine that Lu Mingfei had filled for him into his stomach, “This is not bad, you are the lady’s knight, you avenged her.” He also said this in front of Sakurai Nanami, but at that time he was still half-believing and half-doubting in his heart.

Crow paused. “According to what you said, you are the most remarkable hero in the Secret Party, but the Secret Party wants you dead?”

“It might be more accurate to call me a weapon. I’m a captive monster, used to kill other monsters,” Lu Mingfei said. “To be honest, I don’t know my true identity. Maybe I’m a Dragon King? You know, there were Dragon Kings before who didn’t even know they were Dragon Kings.”

“So you’re not fleeing around the world, you came to Japan to find out the truth?” Crow stared into Lu Mingfei’s eyes.

“If you die without knowing what you are, what should be written on your tombstone?” Lu Mingfei said softly.

“Would it be useful for you to investigate Herzog?”

“I have a strange feeling that Herzog must know me. It wasn’t the first time we met in Tokyo. But I can’t remember when I had any contact with him.”

Lu Mingfei played with the beautiful glass wine glass, seriously recalling his last meeting with Herzog, not as Lu Mingfei, but as a monster.

Behind them were raised huge bone wings, which were terrifying and hideous yet beautiful beyond words, like a mixture of angels and demons. At that time, Herzog suddenly said in horror, it’s you, it’s you!

Although Lu Mingze’s memories after taking control of the body are usually vague or even completely blank, he still vaguely remembers this period, that strange… fear of meeting an old friend again!

Crow thought for a long time, and finally divided the remaining wine in the bottle between himself and Lu Mingfei, “Okay! I’ll help you!”

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

When they walked out of the robatayaki shop, both of them were stunned.

When we entered the store, there was still a drizzle in the sky. After drinking some wine, it seemed like winter had arrived outside, and the roofs and roads were all covered in white.

It’s clearly early summer now, how could there be snow?

Lu Mingfei kicked the thin layer of snow and realized that it was not snow but hail. In the summer, when the temperature is high and the humidity is high, warm and humid air rises and cools rapidly, turning into hail. However, these hailstones are so small that it gives the illusion of snowfall.     

People who had just come out of the bar after drinking looked surprised at this scene. Fashionably dressed girls screamed with joy and jumped onto the hail-strewn path, their smooth, slender legs exposed under their ups and downs of short skirts. Boys followed them, holding their hands to prevent them from falling, and they hugged in the fake snow.
