Chapter 260: Xiami: Why do I feel like I’m falling out of favor?

"What kind of disaster?"

Norton narrowed his eyes and changed his originally dismissive attitude towards the space project.

I originally thought I was working for my father, but now I'm probably struggling to survive.

"Have you seen Ultraman?"

"Of course I have."

Norton knew his father's aesthetic taste, and knew that the alchemical armor he made was mixed with many Ultraman elements.

"A monster is about to descend on Earth, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will happen in the next few years."

“Do we have a chance of winning?”

"Can the humans in the Ultraman world defeat the space monsters entirely on their own?"

Seeing Norton looking at him like that, Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not Ultraman. I probably can't handle it by myself."

If an ordinary person was in front of them, Lu Mingfei would definitely pat his chest and make a promise in order to maintain their hope, because this was far beyond their ability to bear. Instead of being frightened, it would be better to calm down and wait for Lu Mingfei to save the world or fall before the disaster.

But Norton and Leviathan need to know, because their attitude can really determine how many lives are saved.

"."

Norton was silent.

"Don't be too nervous. Ultraman is in charge of fighting the monsters. What we need to think about is how to survive before Ultraman arrives."

How can this be considered good news? Doesn't it just prove that the enemy is not something they can handle?

Norton couldn't help but complain silently.

The sudden pressure caught everyone off guard, but the relief of not having to face liquidation was immediately diluted.

Then Norton replied decisively.

"I will do everything I should do."

He knew what his father liked about him, which was nothing more than his unrivaled alchemy.

This attention made Norton feel pressured, but at the same time, he also felt an inexplicable warmth flowing through his heart.

Dad needs me.

Instead of being like in the past, when the emperor high above seemed to care about nothing, not only did he not care about their life or death, he even never concealed his hostility towards them, it seemed that these dragon kings were created simply for the sake of their existence in this world, so that they did not understand what they should do for a long time.

"Everything is subject to my father's arrangements."

What opinion could Leviathan have? Although she didn't quite understand the metaphors used by the two men, she just followed what her father said.

Life is pretty good now. At least their father tells them what to do. They don't have to be like a cat trapped in thorns, trembling with fear with every step, afraid of touching the ubiquitous thorns.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Lu Mingfei looked at the three people present and felt that the Dragon King was really simple.

Many people he knows are full of ambitions, not to mention Li Ying who wants to change the world, even Angers, the Avenger, has lofty ideals.

Among the four monarchs, except for the King of Ocean and Water who believes that he seems to have found the right path and is working diligently while collecting the fragments of the Black King and assembling them in the hope of getting his father's attention, the ultimate pursuit of the remaining six is ​​to stay alive.

Xia Mi is a little greedy now, she hopes she can live a good life.

It can be said that they have had many dealings with human superiors, and the ordinary pursuits of these naturally noble dragon kings are somewhat bizarre.

Of course, everyone has their own aspirations. Lu Mingfei’s dealings with the Dragon Kings do not mean that he demands that they must do a certain thing. Now that he has revealed his cards, he hopes that they will do their best to help, because no one can escape the disasters of the future, and starting to work hard now is also for his own future.

Besides, as monarchs who have experienced that cruel era and survived to the present, they have never lacked the willingness to fight to the death when necessary.

"It's not bad to have ordinary pursuits, but it's a pity that in this world, it's not easy to be an ordinary person." After leaving the attic with the three dragon kings, Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky.

I don’t know when the sword of Damocles will fall.

"The next step is to go meet Xia Mi and learn about the project."

Lu Mingfei retracted his gaze and said to Norton beside him: "I plan to hand over all the research on alchemy to you in the future. In addition to the main direction of research on the combination with modern technology and the application of outer space, don't relax the development of spirit recasting. Some mistakes can be made up for by us dragons."

"This will reduce Xia Mi's stress and allow her to focus on her career. Of course, don't slack off on her education. You should arrange the regular teaching. After all, you are the teacher of alchemy."

"Ah."

Norton listened carefully. It was obvious that Lu Mingfei was planning to let him handle the overall situation of alchemy.

The trust revealed between the lines of his father's words made him straighten his chest involuntarily.

It was really worth learning alchemy!
"And Leviathan, don't have too much psychological pressure, just do your best."

"I understand."

Leviathan said, his tone unable to conceal his frustration.

There is a reason why Lu Mingfei is willing to trust Norton. After all, Norton's name represents the pinnacle of alchemy.

Alchemy directly points to the essence of the Dragon King's authority. The most terrifying thing is that it can be passed on through learning. What my father needs most now is this power that can be shared with others.

but--

Why!

Why is it that Norton, a traitor who has raised the banner of rebellion twice, is the person my father trusts the most?

Obviously, this trust should belong to the ocean and the crown of water!
Leviathan looked at Norton's back with unconcealed envy and jealousy, and the strong negative pressure scared Constantine so much that he began to tremble again.

"Sister Leviathan is so scary."

Constantine grabbed the corner of Norton's clothes, lowered his head, buried the lower half of his face in his collar, and huddled together.

The air pressure from behind is even lower.

"When can I go home, wuwuwu."

After the four of them finished visiting the bases that were still under construction in various areas, Lu Mingfei brought Norton to the core area of ​​the research institute.

"Give way, give way--"

He let Oppenheimer, who was wearing a down jacket, pass by and watched him rush out of the building with the alchemy matrix in his hand.

After more than ten seconds, a burst of explosions was heard from the direction of the outer test site.

The horrific ice storm swept across an area of ​​100 meters in radius, covering the experimental building with a layer of frost tens of centimeters thick.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had already provided insurance for all the scientists and the experimental facilities. Faced with such a commotion, those who were still busy did not have to worry about their own safety and could also enjoy the fun.

"Fuck, why did the concentration of water elements around us suddenly increase? The anti-interference ability of this energy matrix is ​​too poor."

Oppenheimer, his body covered with a layer of ice, came back, wiping the ice off his face and cursing under his breath.

His colleagues around him looked at him in awe, thinking that he was worthy of being a genius who had developed the most destructive weapon in human history and was even more powerful than those people in the Equipment Department.

The three of them subconsciously looked at Leviathan.

"I'm sorry, father."

Leviathan lowered her head. She had accidentally caused a mess and she wished she could find a place to bury herself.

She really doesn't understand alchemy, her talent is in sociology.
