Starting from the Dragon Tribe

Lu Chen took Eri Yi and sat down next to Tachibana Masamune's left-hand seat. Eri Yi sat on his left side. He just happened to occupy the spot where Minamoto Chisheng usually sat.

The people opposite him were also very familiar to him. They were the two family heads, Miyamoto Shio and Sakurai Nanami, whom he had met a few days ago.

Ranked behind Eri are the Inuyama family leader, the Fuma family leader, and the Ryoma family leader.

When everyone at the meeting arrived, the main topic began.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Lu for traveling thousands of miles across the ocean to inspect the Japanese branch. I wonder if you were satisfied with the reception received by the Sakurai family yesterday?"

Tachibana Masamune's words were humble, his tone was gentle, and he looked like a generous elder, but the content of his words seemed like a subordinate trying to please the leader.

Many members of the family bowed their heads and remained silent. Some were surprised as to why the head of the family was so low-profile today. Although Lu Chen was very strong, the Sheqi family was also bloody.

"The arrangements made by the Sakurai family master are very good. Eriki and I had a lot of fun yesterday. Chidorigafuchi is indeed beautiful."

As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face, but Lu Chen didn't get angry as soon as he came up.

The other party didn't even mention the Sheqi Eight Families. The wording was "Japanese Branch". Strictly speaking, this is the Japanese branch of Kassel College, and he is the director of the college, so he said it was the Sheqi Eight Families. The "upper level" is no problem either.

"I wonder what President Lu has to do when he comes to Japan this time. We will try our best to cooperate."

Tachibana Masamune poured a cup of tea for Lu Chen. Lu Chen took it and put it on the small table without drinking it.

When he mentioned what he had to do, Lu Chen smiled and said straight to the point: "When it comes to this, it would be best if you can cooperate. I want to take the head of the Shan family to Kassel College."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions and looked up at the young man.

Eryi lowered her head and grabbed the corner of Lu Chen's clothes. She was a little uneasy and nervous, as if she had done something bad and would be blamed by everyone.

Lu Chen put his hand on the back of Eri Yi's hand and patted it gently, signaling to reassure the other person.

Tachibana Masamune was silent for a few breaths, and the expression on his face did not change at all, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.

"Actually, many people present know that the head of the Uesugi family is actually my daughter. No father does not want his daughter to have the youth and beauty of a normal person. If Director Lu can guarantee the safety of Eriki in the academy, then from my personal perspective From a perspective, I agree."

Lu Chen was a little surprised by Tachibana Masamune's answer. He had thought that the other party would firmly refuse.

Could it be that he is overthinking it, that Tachibana Masamune is just a simple family manager and is indeed a good father?

"Parents!"

Ryoma Genichiro stood up nervously. The Sheqi family had been preparing for the coming day for so long. Now that the decisive battle was right in front of us, how could they let the family's decisive weapon be taken away! ?

Tachibana Masamune raised his hand to signal the head of the Longma family to calm down, and then looked at Lu Chen, "Director Lu, you also know that although I am the head of the eight Sheqi families, this is not my hall. From a father's From a different perspective, I can let you take Eri away now, but I still have to consider my family."

Lu Chen suddenly realized that it was not that simple, "Then the parents must say next, do you have a compromise?"

Tachibana Masamune nodded, "Actually, the concerns, or long-cherished wishes, of the Sheqi Hachi family are very simple. Last time School Director Lu came to Japan to perform a mission, I believe we already understood part of it. We just want to... kill God."

As he said that, he looked at Miyamoto Shio. Under the signal from his eyes, Miyamoto took out a Pad, operated it a few times and handed it to Tachibana Masamune.

Tachibana Masamune picked up the Pad and looked at it to confirm it was correct, and then handed it to Lu Chen, "This is the latest discovery this morning. We have also reported the details to the headquarters."

Lu Chen looked at the pictures on the Pad, and there were various waveform diagrams that he couldn't quite understand. He scrolled down. Fortunately, there were also written reports. After reading them, he frowned slightly.

"Heartbeat in the deep sea? It is estimated that the intensity is at least higher than that of the next generation?"

Tachibana Masamune nodded and explained to everyone in the family: "Yes, the Japan Trench is a place that we later ignored. All the family heads should also know that there have always been records in the family that it is the burial place of gods. It is said that Amaterasu and Amaterasu during the Age of Gods Tsukuyomi sealed the Divine Burial Hall and sunk it to the bottom of the sea.”

At his signal, Miyamoto took out another Pad, and after operating it, a projector hit the screen behind Masamune Tachibana in the room.

"Although we think it is just a legend, we have not stopped investigating the Japanese waters over the years. Both the Menggui and we have studied deep submersibles, but they have never been able to dive into the deep sea below 8,000 meters. So far, neither side has been able to Given any clues, over time we come to believe that legends are just legends and that God’s place lies elsewhere.”

Tachibana Masamune paused and continued: "But now it seems that the legend is not false, but our submersible did not go down deep enough. Just this morning, the latest sonar device of the Rock Flow Research Institute detected a signal coming from the deep sea. The echo, that is the sound of heartbeat..."

He said seriously: "I think we have found God."

The rest of the family also showed excited eyes. Compared with the matter of the head of the Uesugi family, finding God was obviously more impactful news.

How many years have they been searching? Now God finally appears in their survey equipment.

"So what do you mean?"

Lu Chen had a half-smile on his face.

Tachibana Masamune's face was serious, and he leaned over and performed an ancient Japanese etiquette, "I would also like to ask Lu Jun and the academy headquarters to support this god-slaying operation. As long as the hidden dangers of the gods are eliminated, the eight Sheqi families will naturally be out of crisis. Eri Yi can also go to the academy to make up for her youth."

After Masamune Tachibana finished speaking, everyone else in the family heaved a sigh of relief and looked astonished.

It turns out that the patriarch was not allowed to be selfish as a father. He still cared about the family and made a perfect deal with this situation where he was almost forced to go to the palace.

Yes, it doesn't matter who kills the god. As long as Lu Chen can kill the god and break the curse prophecy of the Sheqi family, they have no reason to keep Eriki alive.

Eriyi looked up and looked at Godzilla with some worry. Are you going to kill the God in the deep sea?

This was far more dangerous than an underground river that only descended a little, and she didn't want Godzilla to take the risk for her.

Lu Chen put down his Pad, and everyone looked at him nervously, wanting to know the answer to the hybrid supreme who killed the Dragon King.

"Sounds like a deal, and I hate deals, especially in this case."

He had just seen the relieved expressions of many members of the Sheqi family present after hearing Tachibana Masamune's words, as if they had finally found a reasonable way out. They no longer wanted to keep Eri, because Eri's departure created a new world for them. the value of.

It felt like Eriyi was a commodity, and Lu Chen hated this feeling.

The young man's words aroused everyone's attention, and even Tachibana Masamune showed a surprised look. He thought this was the best solution.

"I can help you kill gods, and I will also take Eri Yi to the academy, but this is not a deal. Killing gods is not only my job as a dragon slayer, but it can also be regarded as helping Eri Yi's tribe. I hope you Understand the difference between this and trading.”

Lu Chen said word for word.

The place was quiet for a while, until a small murmur sounded a little unexpectedly, "It seems that they are giving a dowry, so should we return the dowry?"

Crow looked at the people who were watching him, looked at Yasha and Sakura in confusion, and asked in surprise: "Why are you all looking at me? Did I just say what I was thinking?"

"I have said it all, and my voice is not quiet."

Yasha reminded in a low voice, and at the same time motioned for the other person to sit up straight.

In today's clan meetings, they are just insignificant little characters, and they have no right to speak, let alone interrupting the big shots in such a serious atmosphere.

Tachibana Masamune glanced at the Crows behind the crowd indifferently, and did not pursue the matter. Instead, he smiled and said to Lu Chen: "It's almost the same. That makes it sound much better."

Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed at this moment and glanced at Hui Liyi with a guilty conscience. However, Hui Liyi just looked at the table and saw a few petals in the vase on the small table.

She also listened, but words such as "bride price" and "dowry" were too high-end for her, and she had no idea what others were saying, because these were words that were more Chinese-cultural and were not included in her "animation course" the scope of teaching.

Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, he didn't know why he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me tell you briefly what the situation is. I have roughly read the report. It seems that the place is very deep. The sea surface eight kilometers below is almost a forbidden area for life."

Now that he had decided to do it, of course he had to ask about the situation.

Tachibana Masamune looked at Miyamoto Shio, who said: "The position of God is indeed very troublesome. He is a highly intelligent creature. The deep sea below eight thousand meters is undoubtedly a forbidden place for life isolated from the world, so He is very It’s safe, and it’s an almost perfect incubator, but God still underestimated human technology.”

As he spoke, he picked up the Pad to operate the projection and demonstrated to everyone: "It is far more difficult to go deep into the ocean than to fly into space, because the manufacturing of deep submersibles depends on some luck to a certain extent. Every screw and every Reinforcement everywhere..."

As a technician, Miyamoto Shio had a different kind of enthusiasm when explaining these things, but was interrupted by Lu Chen, "Master Miyamoto, please tell me the key points."

Miyamoto Shio looked slightly embarrassed, put away his interest in popularizing science, and said: "The best deep submersibles created by the Sheqi family and the Menggui family can only dive to a depth of seven thousand meters at most. This It is basically the limit of human technology, but the limit does not mean a miracle, and there have been miracles of deep diving in history."

As he spoke, he switched the screen, and an image of a deep submersible appeared on the projection, "The Trieste, this is a legendary equipment in the history of diving. In 1960, it reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench, with a depth of more than a meter. Thousands of meters! It can be used to conquer a trench of more than 8,000 meters, so it will definitely not be a problem."

Lu Chen looked at the old-looking submersible on the projection. The photo didn't look like it was taken in a workshop, but more like it was taken in an exhibition hall. Madonna was even spat on the DiTrieste. poster!

What kind of legend is this? Madonna legend?

He suppressed his desire to complain and asked: "Does that mean that the Sheqi Eighth Family is ready?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Miyamoto Shio was a little embarrassed, "This requires the support of the college headquarters. The Dieste is not in our hands, but in the hands of the college. To be precise, it is in the hands of the college's directors. "

Lu Chen was a little confused. After wandering around for a long time, it turned out that he still wanted to ask for support from the headquarters and wanted him to ask for equipment.

"Whose family does this belong to?"

Lu Chen asked, if it was a school director he was not familiar with, this would be a bit troublesome.

Miyamoto Shio replied: "The Diriaste is the collection of Gattuso's family, so it is useless for us to apply directly to the college headquarters. We can only see if there is anything you can do about it, Director Lu."

Oh, Caesar's family, that's easy to handle.

Although the Gattuso family is a bit annoying, it is best for him to contact the school director.

He picked up his cell phone on the spot and called Caesar.

"Hey, Brother Lu? What's the matter?"

The phone went through, but it was a bit noisy from the other side.

"I have something to trouble Brother Caesar. Where are you? Are you busy?"

He heard Caesar breathing heavily.

"In the Amazon jungle, we are chasing a Deadpool. It's okay. I'm not busy. Brother Lu, please tell me something."

Caesar on the other side of the phone said that he turned on the violent blood and directly strangled the scurrying Deadpool to death with a vampire scythe. He didn't want Brother Lu to think that he was chasing an ordinary Deadpool and couldn't take down an ordinary Deadpool for a long time.

"Oh, just don't be busy. I just want to ask Brother Caesar to borrow something. It seems to be your family's collection."

Lu Chen heard the sound of the strong wind coming from the other side of the phone and the sound of trees being cut off by the vampire scythe, but he did not expose Caesar. He knew that Brother Caesar sometimes still cares about face.

"Collection? What is it? I have a lot of collections at home."

Caesar wondered.

"It seems to be called..." Lu Chen looked at the name on the projection screen again, "Drieste, a submarine, is said to have created the history of diving depth and so on."

"Let me think about it, it's probably the collection bought by my playboy dad. He always likes to collect strange junk things..."

Caesar was lost in thought on the opposite side. After a few breaths, he replied: "Oh, I remembered it. It seems that I bought it together with the Apollo lunar module and put it in the family exhibition hall."

Lu Chen and the eight members of the Sheqi family present fell silent.

What kind of playboy is he who collects collectibles to buy legendary submarines and lunar modules? Hey!

The eight Sheqi families thought they were very inhumane, but now they know that each mountain is higher than the other, and what is true inhumanity?

"Brother Caesar...your father's hobbies are very unique."

Lu Chen could only comment like this.

"What's chic? Chic, he just wants to pick up women... Forget it, brother Lu, when do you want it and where can I send it to you, I will make arrangements for you today."

Caesar changed the subject. He didn't like to discuss his stud father with others.

"As soon as possible in the next few days, send it to the Japanese branch after maintenance. I need it for a mission."

After Caesar replied "No problem", Lu Chen hung up the phone.
