"Well, I want to ask, is this really an official train?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but asked, "Why isn't it on the train schedule, why didn't it arrive on time?"

"Of course, it is specially approved by Chicago. It goes directly to Cassel College." The conductor explained patiently, "It is not on the train schedule because it is a feeder train that departs irregularly, just like the one that takes the public railroad, but it is not on the train schedule. Special trains to some mines and factories."

Lu Mingfei nodded with a vague understanding.

"Platform nine and three-quarters." Gu Chen said suddenly.

Or called 9? platform.It is the location in the series of magical novels "Harry Potter" by JK Rowling in the United Kingdom. It exists on the ninth platform and the third pillar in the tenth platform of King's Cross Station in London, England. The Hogwarts Express train is held every year. will be released from here on.

Lu Mingfei gave a soft 'ah' sound.

The conductor couldn't help but look at Gu Chen more, but didn't say anything.

They stepped onto the platform, and the high-speed train stopped on the tracks, with blinding lights on.On the black streamlined body, the dazzling silver-white arabesques spread out on the black paint surface, which is as gorgeous as a work of art.

Outside the only car door that slid open, Professor Guderian looked at this side with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. Just like when we met for the first time, his eyes stayed on Gu Chen's face for a while.

The greetings were when the train started, and the dark night was receding rapidly. Across an oak table, Guderian said politely: "Meet you again, this time it's Teacher Gu."

"It's an honor." Gu Chen also said polite words.

Guderian looked at him calmly, and he really didn't expect that the person in front of him could have connections with the Gattuso family, and it was the harsh and old-fashioned Frost who called the name himself.

When an ordinary person is looked at differently, then he is definitely not ordinary.It's hard for him not to be curious about what secrets are hidden in the other party.

But Gu Chen just looked out of the window and didn't seem to be very interested in talking.

Not long after, Lu Mingfei and Finger came over after changing their school uniforms. They were wearing white shirts, dark green suits with thin silver trim, deep rose red scarves, and Kassel College logo embroidered on the chest pockets. World Tree School Badge.

Lu Mingfei obviously felt that he was already a classy person from the moment he stepped on this train and changed into this suit of clothes.Standing in front of Gu Chen, he tugged at the front of his shirt coquettishly, and then showed him in a small circle, raising his eyebrows triumphantly, obviously waiting for a good word from him.

But this time Gu Chen was not very cooperative. He propped his chin and seemed to glance up and down, but in fact his eyes kept falling on the World Tree school badge.

"Red and green really don't look good."

"Uh..." Lu Mingfei's face froze with pride.

"Coffee or hot chocolate?" Guderian was still considerate.

"Hot chocolate!" Fingal raised his hand.

"I didn't ask you, be serious, this is the orientation time for freshmen." Guderian said, looking at Lu Mingfei, "You can also ask for a glass of hard wine or something."

"... Seriously?" Lu Mingfei was a little speechless. It didn't look like he was entering school, but Gu Chen was talking about business. It seemed that he could take out a few bottles of fake wine for everyone to taste in the next second. .

Fingel coughed lightly, "I want you to drink something calming, lest you scream loudly in the middle of the tutoring."

"Then I want a cup of Coke mixed with sleeping pills. What do you think, Lao Gu?" Lu Mingfei was trying to hold on, and he wanted to get the support of his good brother.

Gu Zhen said very face-savingly: "Then you should stop drinking, in case you pee again."

"..." Lu Mingfei, you are really a brother.

Next, Guderian briefly introduced the school's system, and the only thing Lu Mingfei could care about was the so-called '3e' exam, because if he failed to pass, he would have to go back home, and the scholarship would be gone. landed.

Afterwards, Guderian handed over a document, "Here is a confidentiality agreement, please sign it first."

Faced with this strange document in Latin mixed with English, Lu Mingfei read it for several minutes and finally decided that he could not understand it. He quietly touched Gu Chen's foot under the table, and rubbed the document towards his hand as if hinting. rub.

Meeting Lu Mingfei's apprehensive eyes, Gu Chen sighed helplessly.

It was only then that Lu Mingfei remembered that the guy in front of him was also an English idiot.

After a while, under the watchful eyes of the two foreigners opposite, he signed with trembling hands.

The express train he was on was heading for a mysterious and unknown academy at a high speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.But this was the path his parents had pointed out to him, so what could he refuse?Besides, Gu Chen was also by his side.

Guderian carefully put away the document, and his expression showed a sigh of relief.

Lu Mingfei suddenly had the illusion that he had signed a sell-off contract.

"Then there is this Mr. Gu Chen." Guderian's tone became a little serious, "You can come to our college as a teacher, and you must have some understanding of our disciplines and research topics. I still hope you can think about it carefully."

Lu Mingfei blinked, "Teacher Gu?"

No way, Gu Chen is not going to be a teacher, is he?When he thought about it, he couldn't help feeling that the future was dark—what was this university for?Is it a transfer station for cultivating second-hand traffickers?

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Gu Chen's gentle smile was like the cup of hot chocolate in front of him, "Shopping around, our academy has the best prospect!"

Guderian considers himself a scholar. Although he has been in a mental hospital, he has never seen a guy who is so full of business spirit. He compares Kassel College?How dare I say it.

"So how biased is the college?" Lu Mingfei asked with great determination.

Guderian took a deep breath. He was sitting on the dark green sofa against the wall of the car. Behind him was a huge painting covered by a canvas. He suddenly lifted the covered canvas.

The painting is large and beautifully framed, but the painting is hideous.

Floating fire under the iron-blue sky, a black dragon is rising from the depths of the corpse pile, its wings are covered with the skeletons of the dead, and behind the huge membrane wings spread out is a towering giant tree, with dead branches extending in all directions, like Woven into a dense web supporting the chapped sky.

"Dragon?" Lu Mingfei only felt a buzzing in his head.

What Gu Chen was looking at was the giant tree in the painting. The tree was about to die as if the water was exhausted, and the black dragon would inevitably go to the same fate as it.

The drawing is somewhat abstract, much worse than his sketches.

And just like Guderian watching Lu Mingfei, Fingel, who seemed to be doing nothing, has been observing Gu Chen's reaction, but what he got was normal feedback.

"To be precise, it's the Dragon King, Nid Hogg." Guderian said, "According to the Norse mythology "Old Love Answer", when the gods are at dusk, this big guy will bite the roots of the World Tree No. Kassel College studies dragons. Of course, you can also choose other different subjects, but in the end we only have one goal.”

He paused: "Slay the dragon!"

Lu Mingfei was so startled that his legs went limp, and then his consciousness went dark.

There was a loud bang as if the sky was falling apart, the whole train shook, and all the lights flickered and went out. Those two words seemed to be a spell, awakening the king who was sleeping in the dark.

In the palpitating darkness, a pair of apocalyptic golden pupils slowly opened.

Seeing Lu Mingfei who had simply fallen asleep, Gu Chen stretched out his hand to straighten his shoulders.

"It seems that Mingfei is not a very strong person." Guderian sighed.

Gu Chen nodded, "Well, but he has a relatively strong ability to accept."

Presumably at this moment, in Lu Mingfei's ocean of consciousness, there is another scene dyed with blood and fire that happened a long time ago.

Outside the window of the speeding car, the clouds are moving, but the stars are disappearing.
