When I was supposed to be slaying the dragon, I accidentally started cultivating immortality

Italy, Portofino, in Lu Mingfei's hotel.

"Oh...how come inspiration comes when I'm not in the laboratory?" Lu Mingfei sighed as he lay on his back on the bed.

After just talking to the school director Leona, he suddenly had the inspiration to make an alchemy item, but because he didn't have a computer at hand, he could only keep it in his mind for the time being, and it was difficult to practice it.

He wanted to imitate Kamen Rider's belt. Although he couldn't reproduce the complete power at this stage, it was not difficult to just copy a shape and a small part of the power.

"Forget it, let's go out and have some fun first. Gattuso's family is footing the bill anyway." Lu Mingfei jumped up from the bed and walked to the closet to take out his coat. The screen of his mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up.

"Huh? News about Brother Yuan?"

[Lu Jun, do you have time now? I want to ask you a favor. 】

【Yes, I have! I'm so idle right now that I'm almost growing mushrooms. Give me something to do. Playing games together is unnecessary. I don’t have a computer at hand right now. 】

[It’s not a game, it’s Eri Yi. She’s not in a good mood lately. I hope you can comfort her. 】

【Comfort Eri Yi? Does your family allow her to access the Internet? 】

[I will try to negotiate with the other family heads later. If they agree, I will let Eri have a video chat with you. 】

[Hmm... The problem is that I have a cooperative relationship with the secret party now, and we cooperate closely. I remember you said that although your family is nominally a branch of Kassel, it was actually forced to sign by Principal Angers. Whoever made the agreement is secretly very hostile to the secret party? Are you sure they can accept me? 】

[As long as you do not belong to the Secret Party, the family's dissatisfaction is only directed at the Secret Party, not its collaborators. In addition, these words must be kept confidential. Although the family's dissatisfaction with the Secret Party is tacitly expressed, they cannot be said openly. After all, the family still nominally belongs to the Secret Party and is the Japanese branch of Kassel College. 】

[Don’t worry, I understand, Brother Yuan, come on! 】

[Well, Mr. Lu, please wait for a moment. The results of the family meeting will be announced soon. 】

…

Japan, in the large conference room on the top floor of Genji Heavy Industries, seven men and women of different ages and temperaments were sitting around the conference table.

The eight Snakeki families are divided into three inner families and five outer families. Tachibana, Minamoto, and Uesugi are the inner three families, and Fuma, Sakurai, Miyamoto, Izumi, and Ryoma are the outer five families. They are collectively called the Eight Snakes.

However, in fact, the three members of the family have withered away, and currently only one person is left. Considering the age of Masamune Tachibana, although there is still a slight possibility that the Minamoto family and the Uesugi family will prosper again, the Tachibana family will probably be the next generation. It's going to be impossible.

Except for Uesugi Eri, who is the head of the Uesugi family, all the heads of the other families are already present in the conference room.

"I urgently called you all here today because the Uesugi family leader's mood has become increasingly unstable recently, and the young family leader has put forward a rather risky proposal. Because the risk is too great, you need to negotiate and make a decision together." Tachibana Masamune got straight to the point.

"Everyone, what kind of suggestions did the young master put forward?" The master of the Feng Mo family spoke first. He was an old man with white beard and hair.

The patriarch refers to Tachibana Masamune. He is not only the head of the Tachibana family, but also the patriarch of the entire Sheqi family. He leads the entire Sheqi family. By analogy, it is roughly equivalent to the governor of New York concurrently serving as the president of the United States.

"The doctor in the family made a diagnosis based on what I described about Eriyi, and the result was that Eriyi had mild depression, or had a tendency to be depressed," Yuan Zhisheng said, "Based on what I described about Eriyi. Li Yi understands that the reason why she is depressed may be because she feels lonely."

"It should be because the Young Patriarch is busy with the work of the Executive Bureau and has no choice but to reduce the company of the Uesugi Patriarch," the Feng Mo Family Patriarch said. "It is the Feng Mo Family's mistake that the Young Patriarch is overworked."

The executive board is composed of the Yuan family and the five outside families, and a considerable number of its members are from the Fengma family.

"No, it has nothing to do with this," Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "I think Eriki needs friends."

"Friends?" Feng Mo Family Head and other family heads were stunned for a moment.

"Eriyi has been close to her since she was a child. My parents and I were the only ones who were close to her. Our parents played the role of an elder, while I played the role of an older brother. It can be said that Eriyi has no friends, which is very important to her. Her mental health is very poor, making her feel lonely," Minamoto said, "So I hope that the family can let Eriki socialize on the Internet and let her be friends with other people."

The family heads who took action looked at each other.

"This proposal is really risky, so I hope that all the family heads will make a joint decision." Masamune Tachibana spoke at the right time.

"Is this too risky? Not to mention the situation of the Uesugi family... there is a high possibility that he will be deceived by outsiders," the Sakurai family said. "What if during the conversation, the Uesugi family revealed something about hybrids and the Snake Qihachi family?" Things..."

She is a beauty with mature charm and the only woman in the room.

"Master Sakurai doesn't have to worry about this. The friend I chose for Eriki is also a mixed race. He is a friend I made before. I once hosted him for a trip to Japan. During this period, he happened to meet him near the Genji Heavy Industries Building and sneaked out. Eri Yi, who is playing, has communicated with Eri Yi, and is the best candidate. I can vouch for his character. As for leaking family secrets," Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and asked, "What does Eri Yi know? About family secrets?”

The head of the Sakurai family was silent, and the only connection between Eriki and the family secret was probably that she herself was a secret.

"Family heads, you can ask any questions you have." Tachibana Masamune said.

"The Young Patriarch said that he can provide guarantee for the character of the target. I believe in the Young Patriarch's vision," the Inuyama Patriarch said, "But the matter is very important. The target has even been in contact with the Uesugi Patriarch. We hope to get more details. data of."

"I have prepared his general information, Kaguya," Minamoto looked at the projector in the conference room, "play the information."

"Yes." A girl who looked exactly like Sakamoto Maaya said, and then the projector lit up and played the information on the screen.

The first thing that attracts the attention of all the family members is a photo of a photo. Logically speaking, this type of ID photo would not look very good, but the man in the photo is so handsome, even if it is an idol star's artistic photo in such a photo. It's a bit eclipsed in front of the face.

However, except for the Sakurai family head, the heads of the families present were all men, and they were men with no special interests, so they didn't care much about whether this person looked good or not, and instead looked at more important information.

"Lu Mingfei? A collaborator of the secret party?! And he is also an external first-level researcher at the Equipment Department of Cassel College?" The Miyamoto family leader frowned fiercely, "Young master, I cannot allow this person to have contact with the Uesugi family leader. , his connection with the secret party is too close, the situation of the Uesugi family head cannot be known to the secret party, especially the bloodline and spirit, she is Tsukiyomi..."

"Eriyi's situation cannot be known to anyone outside the family, even if it has nothing to do with the secret party." Yuan Zhisheng said.

The head of the Miyamoto family nodded in agreement. He shared the same surname with the Japanese sword master Miyamoto Musashi, but he did not have the sharpness and domineering power of the sword master. He was handsome and upright, with fair skin. He looked to be in his thirties and wore a traditional tortoiseshell coat. He wears glasses and his hair is neatly combed, looking like a young teacher from a certain college.

"So it doesn't matter whether Lu Mingfei is from the secret party. No matter who he is or what his position is, Eliyi's bloodline and speech spirit cannot be known," Yuan Zhisheng said, "We must hide it from him Hao Hui Liyi’s bloodline and spirit of speech.”

"That's right." The Ryoma family leader agreed, but the Miyamoto family leader had a bad feeling.

"So it doesn't matter whether Lu Mingfei has a close working relationship with the Secret Party. Even if he is a high-level member of the Secret Party or has nothing to do with the Secret Party, our attitude towards him is that we cannot reveal Eri Yi's words and spirit. Bloodline'," Yuan Zhishengtuqiongdiao said, "Therefore, his identity is actually irrelevant."

The other family heads nodded subconsciously, and then they realized something was wrong?

The head of the Miyamoto family frowned so hard that he could kill a fly, but he had to admit that Minamoto's words were logically reasonable. Although once the situation of the head of the Uesugi family was leaked, the consequences for Lu Mingfei would be far worse than for someone who had nothing to do with the secret party. People know that the consequences will be serious, but the starting point of this matter is actually "the bloodline and spiritual information of the Uesugi family must not be leaked." Since it will not be leaked, there is no way to talk about the consequences.

"We can't take such a risk..." The head of the Miyamoto family shook his head, "Anyway, please allow me to vote against it."

"Everyone, where are you?" Tachibana Masamune looked at the other family heads.

"I agree," the Inuyama family leader said, "I want to believe the young family leader."

"I object," the head of the Fuma family said. "If you want to appease the mood of the Uesugi family, you can find other ways. This is too risky."

"I agree," the Sakurai family head cast a sidelong glance at the Fuma family head, "Women always understand women better. Besides, if it was so easy to appease the Uesugi family head, there would be no need for the young family head to propose such a risky thing or even hold a family meeting for this purpose. ”

"But based on age, the Uesugi family head should be considered a girl, and the Sakurai family head, you are a woman." The Miyamoto family head said, but at the same time he attracted the cold eyes of the Fuma family head and the Sakurai family head, and they could only talk in silence.

"I can..." The head of the Longma family is a somewhat balding middle-aged man. From his dress to his image and temperament, everything looks like a middle-aged office worker. Even raising his hand at this moment has a submissive feeling like a leader asking for instructions.

"Master Ryoma, there is no such thing as abstaining from family meetings, and you don't have to try every time." Tachibana Masamune interrupted.

"Then I agree," the head of the Ryoma family scratched his hair, "my daughter is about the same age as the head of the Uesugi family, so I can understand it to a certain extent."

The heads of the other five families have all voted, with a ratio of 2 to 3 between objection and agreement. As the proposer, Minamoto no one has the right to vote. Only Tachibana Masamune is present and has not yet voted.

Unlike other family heads, as the head of the family, Tachibana Masamune has two votes because he is also the head of the Tachibana family. If he votes against, the situation will be reversed. If he votes for it, the support vote will have an overwhelming advantage. .

Tachibana Masamune was silent for a moment, then looked at the Fuma family head and the Miyamoto family head: "Although Eriki and I are not related by blood, over the years, I have regarded her as a blood-related child, so please understand that we are the elders. I care about the child's mood, and please rest assured about the Sheqiba family's ability to keep information secret! I agree with Zhisheng's proposal."

…

"Hello? Are you Chief Frost?" Lu Mingfei asked at the other end of the phone.

Frost left Lu Mingfei's personal contact information. He didn't expect Lu Mingfei to call. After all, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to be close to the Gattuso family. Unexpectedly, he came to contact him not long after the meeting. By myself.

"Mr. Lu, you are very tall... No, hello." Frost changed his words in time.

"Oh, I'm sorry I called you wrong, it should be the acting patriarch," Lu Mingfei's calm voice rang from the phone, "acting patriarch Frost, good afternoon."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Frost always felt that Lu Mingfei emphasized the word "agent" very seriously.

"Good afternoon," Frost said.

"I heard that the Gattuso family is very rich in Italy? Can you please do me a small favor, acting patriarch Frost," Lu Mingfei said, "I can give you some gadgets in exchange."

"No need. The Gattuso family should try their best to satisfy some small requests when distinguished guests come to visit," Frost said. "Please tell me what it is, Mr. Lu."

"Can you send me a laptop?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Just... this?" Frost was silent for a moment, "Please, wait a moment."

"Oh, and also tonight, can you help me make arrangements..."

…

Genji Heavy Industries, in the living room of Eri's room.

"Eli Yi," Yuan Zhisheng stood in the living room, calling softly to Eli Yi who was sitting on the bed with her knees in the bedroom, "The family agrees that you and Lu Mingfei can make video calls online. Do you want to meet him?"

The red-haired girl sitting on the bed hugging her knees raised her head.

Outside Eriyi's room.

Other household heads stood at the door, talking quietly.

"Why did you agree to such a ridiculous proposal?" the Miyamoto family leader complained, "Why should an outsider who has only met once allow the Uesugi family leader to stabilize his mood? And take such a big risk!"

"I don't agree." The head of the Feng Mo family said.

"So I agreed," the Sakurai family head glanced at the Fuma family head again, "but I actually don't believe it. It's just that the young family head has been busy and tired recently. Since it is his suggestion, it doesn't hurt to try it. It will definitely have no effect. Just cancel when the time comes.”

"I am willing to believe the young master." The Inuyama master looked like an old loyal minister.

"I... I just think that the Uesugi family leader is a bit pitiful," the Ryoma family leader weakly raised his hand, "but I don't really believe it, so I just give it a try for the sake of the young family leader."

"Are you just afraid of offending the Young Patriarch?" Feng Mo Patriarch said, "The Young Patriarch is not a narrow-minded person."

While the family heads were talking quietly, the heavy metal door in front of them slowly opened, and Yuan Zhisheng stood inside.

"Please come in. Since this is a trial run, all the family heads should be present to confirm the effect," Yuan Zhisheng said, "Everyone has urgent matters to deal with and I can't come, but it's enough for you to be here."

The other family heads nodded and followed Yuan Zhisheng into the room. As soon as they saw it, they saw the broken bedroom door frame and debris on the floor of the bedroom.

Eriyi's domain is still unfolding. Word Spirit and Judgment seems to tear everything in the bedroom into pieces. Some of the fragments have turned into dust, but cannot fly in the domain. They stick to the ground obediently and accumulate into a thin layer. layer.

Eriyi didn't quite understand why her brother asked her to release her word spirit. She felt much better when she heard that she could video chat with Lu Mingfei, but her brother asked her to continue to release her word spirit. She didn't see Lu Mingfei until she saw Lu Mingfei. Just can't stop.

The other heads of the family stood outside the bedroom, looking into the bedroom with eyes full of awe - this is the power of Tsukuyomi, this is the power of word spirit and judgment! Even standing outside the realm, the shadow of death seemed to hang over them.

Yuan Zhisheng held a laptop and sent a video application to Lu Mingfei.

Although Eriki's Word Spirit is still being released, other family heads did not stop it, because the power displayed by the current trial is not even the tip of the iceberg. Word Spirit and Vampire Scythe can also achieve similar effects, and the real relationship between them is The power is like cloud mud.

"Brother Lu."

A handsome face popped up on the screen of Yuan Zhisheng's laptop. Only his upper body could be seen. He was wearing some kind of short-sleeved T-shirt. The background seemed to be a hotel.

Yuan Zhisheng is holding a notebook in his arms, facing Eriyi, and his back to the family heads, so the first thing the young people on the screen see are two old people, one who looks like a teacher, and a middle-aged bald man. Office workers, and a young woman with mature charm and glasses.

Lu Mingfei:? ? ?

Where is Eriyi? Where is Eri Yi who is so big like me?

"Lu Jun, these are the heads of the Sheqiba family." Yuan Zhisheng introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Lu," the head of the Longma family, who is best at dealing with people, spoke first, "Nice to meet you."

"How happy are you?" Lu Mingfei wanted to slap himself in the mouth after saying this.

The family heads blinked and looked at each other, confusion filling the air.

The corner of Yuan Zhisheng's mouth twitched, and he quickly turned the notebook around so that Lu Mingfei faced Hui Liyi.

So the family heads, who had not yet recovered from Lu Mingfei's magical greeting, saw the field around Eryi suddenly disappear, with debris flying all over the room, revealing the girl's excited smile.

The family heads looked at each other again, confusion fermenting in the air.

PS: 4,800 words, a little late, Gu!

My stomach is fine. The doctor said I have gastroenteritis. It’s an old problem. I’ll be fine after taking medicine.

But why do we still need to make appointments at a dental hospital in a small town like ours? Your business is so good! fall!
