Chapter 295 Transaction
Lu Mingfei's expression remained calm after listening to Ling's story about what happened in Black Swan Port from her perspective.
Is this considered his origin? The connection between him and Lu Mingze seems to have been unveiled yet another layer of mystery.
Lu Mingfei reconsidered the hypothesis that his origin might be an alien. Although the photo on the Delta Project file should be of himself when he was young, judging from Zero's description, "Zero's" speaking style and emotional expression were more... Like the arrogant Lu Mingze in the second grade.
In the case of Sergeant Alchemy, the Dragon King aliens who control the power of elements are twins. One controls "power" and the other controls "force". When power and power are combined, the Dragon King alien will undergo a new transformation; himself The relationship with Lu Mingze may be similar to this.
So which alien dragon king is his origin?
There are already candidates for the thrones of bronze and fire, ocean and water, but only the two thrones of earth and mountain, sky and wind are left - and the false god Odin and his unknown "brother" are also likely to be candidates. He is one of the Dragon King aliens.
Putting aside the ideological constraints of "blasphemy" and "sin" can really activate the brain's thinking - although once the conjecture "I am an alien" is confirmed, everything he does when he returns to his hometown will, in a sense, be like an alien system. The "struggle for power"...
But Lu Mingfei didn't care. All his speculations were based on his absolute loyalty to the Lord of Mankind and mankind; the alchemist sergeant could serve the emperor as a human being, let alone him? If it were the cheerful Fingel brothers, they would probably say something like "I have been fighting for the Emperor and humanity for more than a hundred years, and I have become a human long ago." "
"You are so calm, you are worthy of being a little angel."
Mai Shutoku commented, and as expected, Lu Mingfei did not show that emo-depressive look.
She also listened to this story, and the most shocking plot was undoubtedly Zero, or that Renata regained a new life from the flesh and blood shattered by the fighter, and the two children made the kind of vow in anime to "never abandon or give up" ——The boss controls the power that can bring people back to life.
"Thank you for telling me this story, kid. I will go to that place myself to look for clues."
Lu Mingfei quickly came back from his thoughts and thanked Ling. Being too entangled in inconclusive thinking is a waste of time. He can wait until he reaches the place called Black Swan Port and then search for relevant clues, or see if it can bring back any memories of his own.
The girl nodded obediently, and her aura changed from Renata Yevgeny Chicherin back to Zero Razumovsky Romanov, "I was just informed that Mr. Alexander Bunin has arrived."
…
The dinner was held in the banquet hall of Elizabeth Palace. The golden crystal chandelier dropped its luxurious light like a waterfall, flowing on the silver tableware and crystal vessels on the table. The maids continue to serve exquisite dishes one after another to this table that can accommodate 20 guests at the same time, from appetizers to desserts.
Finally, with Zero's wave, all the servants exited the banquet hall. For a while, only three people were left in the tall circular restaurant.
"It is truly an honor for me to be invited to attend the dinner of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mr. Alexander Bunin smiled, stood up and bowed slightly to Zero to show his respect for the Romanov family. Compared with the blond and blue-eyed East Slavic man, his face has obvious Asian features, coupled with his authentic and fluent Chinese with Northeastern heroic style, it is easy for people to think that he is a Chinese.
He then looked at Lu Mingfei, who was having a meal with a calm expression on the other side: "Hilbert Jean Angers, I have had business exchanges with the mysterious Kassel College. Although I don't know much about it, I have heard of it. Said this legend.”
"I'm not him, I just used his name to invite you here." Lu Mingfei said bluntly.
"Of course. But the light on you is also extremely dazzling. Being your friend will definitely make me feel quite safe." Mr. Bunin praised with a smile.
"Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Bunin." Zero interrupted Bunin's flattery bluntly. She knew the details of this Tatar through the information. When the Soviet Union collapsed and the great ideal was shattered, the man in front of her used The bones of the red beast are exchanged for wealth.
In that chaotic era, a few boxes of good wine could be exchanged for a tank that had just left the factory, a pair of silk stockings or a fur coat, and you could befriend a beautiful girl at the level of Miss Russia; Alexander Bunin made a fortune from this, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union The huge military industry - such as the half-built aircraft carrier in the dock, the Su-27 fighter parts piled in the warehouse, the drawings of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the equipment inventory of the submarine manufacturing plant, etc. were all replaced by the military officers of the time through his hands. The soldiers need military pay, food, and fuel for the winter.
After that, he turned to acquire military factories, contracted projects for the Russian Ministry of Defense, and became a mysterious arms giant. If ordinary people want to see him, they must attract his attention at the annual banquet held in his private manor. , and only after receiving approval will a gilded invitation written by Bunin himself be delivered to that person's hand.
Such a person took the initiative to be invited to attend the dinner - Zero did not believe that her title of "Romanov Princess" played a role, and the other party also speculated that she had her own purpose and scheming.
"I am willing to serve you, Your Royal Highness." Bunin smiled politely.
Zero handed him the note he had prepared, which contained the coordinates left by General Vatutin: "We want to go to this place. It may have been classified as a military restricted area, and the road leading to it may have been abandoned long ago. Interruption. Can you help us?"
Bunin glanced at the coordinates on the note, took out his tablet computer from his carry-on bag, entered it and checked it. After pondering for a moment, his old face smiled again:
"Of course, I can even arrange a safe train to go with you."
Zero frowned slightly. Bunin agreed too readily, like a big bad wolf who couldn't wait to take the pig home.
"Do you know any other information about this coordinate?"
"I don't know, but I have a lot of coordinates like this," Bunin said. "They are all located in northern Siberia and Novaya Zemlya, which are inaccessible areas of ice, snow and frozen soil. During the Soviet era, hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops secretly moved there to build. Bases, towns and railways, most of which are bases for researching advanced military technology theories, are now abandoned in the vast wind and snow, like wave treasures waiting to be excavated."
"Your Royal Highness, what you gave me is a brand new coordinate. Normally, I would pretend not to know and immediately have my people rush to search and excavate the coordinate location... But now to show my sincerity, I will not do that. Do."
Bunin's attitude was quite sincere, so sincere that he didn't look like a cunning and fox-like businessman who was only interested in profit.
Although Zero was confused, she still spoke with the attitude of negotiating a deal:
"What price will the Romanovs have to pay for this?"
She is not afraid of the Bunin Lion talking loudly, and she can afford to pay no matter how much money she has - the actual controller behind the "Romanov Family" financial system is the "Black Gold Swan" who loves potato chips, one of the boss's subordinates. One, she is equivalent to their finance minister, and she will pay all the bills.
"A request..." Bunin said, looking back at Lu Mingfei who was dining elegantly at the other end of the table, "I want you to protect me to a place."
"You are one of Russia's largest arms giants, with connections all over the world, and your assets are enough to sign the most advanced security packages from the top ten security companies in the world... Now you say you need us to protect you?" Zero Shake Shaking his head, "You should be able to tell from the level of protection at Elizabeth Palace that my security team is not some Avengers. You can hire ten times what I can hire."
The maids wearing European-style maid uniforms and the gentle butlers at the Elizabeth Palace are actually a team of well-trained mercenaries. As long as they are paid enough, they don't mind acting as servants during the protection period.
Bunin did not answer hastily, but took out another black electronic device from his bag and opened it - Zero recognized it as a small signal jammer.
"It's true. As long as I ask, the Ministry of National Defense can even arrange a GRU special force for me..." After confirming that the interference had begun, Bunin seemed to relax and speak, "But similarly, the people who protect me also You can become the person who kills me in an instant. Because I am not the real person in power, I am just a puppet, a middleman."
"Are you so sure that we can protect you and won't betray you? What we are doing here is also a transaction." Ling said coldly, looking at Lu Mingfei from the corner of his eye - the other party was still eating with a calm expression. , like an insignificant jobber.
She knew very well that the only person with the qualifications and strength to provide protection was Lu Mingfei, and it was he who Bunin wanted to seek help from.
"I will do my best to provide you with the information you want, including Black Swan Port and Project Delta..." Bunin whispered, "I know about the death of General Vatutin. The person in power behind me seems to be planning to advance Cleared the door."
"Are you trying to protect yourself by taking it out?"
"No, I'm not afraid of death. It's not enough for my business to shoot me a hundred times legally." Bunin shook his head, a look of sadness on his face, "But I just want to save my child. I don't want her." Die so early.”
Lu Mingfei raised his head and stared at the old father-like man - the other man also quickly sat up straight and accepted his "examination".
"Where did you get the information about me?" Lu Mingfei asked in a gentle voice.
"Part of it comes from the mysterious Kassel Academy, and the other part comes from the real person in power behind me..." Lu Mingfei could feel the strong fear in Bunin's words, and he was a little uneasy, for fear that the conversation here would be blocked. The other party learned, "While he hates you, he seems to be afraid of you, so I thought Mr. Lu could help me."
"It's the alien." Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes, thinking of the man with a cheerful voice on the phone, the brother of the false god Odin.
