Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

"Check the reference books, how to break this path?" Caesar came close to Lu Mingfei's ear and lowered his voice.

"Yes, there is! My book '100 Lectures on Japanese Mythology and History' has tea ceremony etiquette in the appendix!" Lu Mingfei flipped through the book under the table.

"There it is! The person making the tea will turn the side of the tea bowl with the pattern towards the person drinking the tea ...... then ...... we have to take the ancient silk yarn pad and rotate it clockwise twice to turn the pattern towards the person making the tea to show respect... ...and then, um, drink the tea soup, rotate the tea bowl counterclockwise twice, look down and admire the pattern of the tea bowl, show a lot of appreciation, you can also sigh twice." Lu Mingfei whispered. The good thing is that this table is wide enough and big enough, what they say opposite probably can not hear clearly, only see the three of them exchanging words.

Caesar and Chu Zhang did not say a word, both silently remembering the process in their minds. From the time they entered the building, they realized that the Japanese branch is a tiger's den, but Caesar and Chu Zhang will not be like Lu Mingfei all the way to praise powerful ah, the Japanese branch is a yakuza society, the student council, and the Lionheart Society is also a society, the leaders of the society do not want to be easily overwhelmed by each other's aura, so every move is extra attentive. The other side attacked with the courtesy of tea, they used the courtesy of tea to break, so that the Japanese branch of the guys understand that the headquarters is not uneducated and vain.

Orange Masamune pulled out the golden ancient silk yarn cushioned tea bowl at his waist, gently rotated it in his hand, turned the side with the bamboo bird pattern towards Caesar, and bent down to offer tea. Caesar had already noticed that he also had a golden silk yarn in front of him, bent down and took the tea bowl, also with the ancient silk yarn pad, in the palm of his hand clockwise rotation twice, the bamboo bird pattern towards the orange Masamune, Lu Mingfei that pamphlet said that this is the respect of the tea maker. Caesar did it meticulously, and he knew that the tea ceremony in Japan was a solemn ritual, and it was a matter of shame to make a mistake.

Orange Masamune offered tea to Chu Zhang and Lu Mingfei, who also meticulously copied Caesar's practice.

The three tilted their heads and drank the tea soup at the same time, pausing slightly in their movements before slowly resetting their bodies, rotating the tea bowl twice counterclockwise, re-aligning the bamboo bird pattern to themselves, and looking down to admire the pattern of the tea bowl with a look of admiration on their faces.

"Boiling tea is considered my not many specialties, your guests visiting, to pay respects. Without taking up any more of your precious time, I will leave you with Mr. Kazamura and Inuyama-Kun, and leave the affairs of the Academy to Wakasa and Ms. Sakurai and Ryoma-Kun." Orange Masamune rose to take his leave, "I hope you all have a happy time in Japan and that your mission goes well."

The Caesar team rose and returned the salute as Tangerine Masamune left the terrace with Kotaro Kazamura and Inuyama He.

The sliding door closed behind them, and Kotaro Kazamora stepped up and lowered his voice, "Masamune sir, are they up to the task?"

"Although Wakasa said they are some unreliable children, I believe they are excellent, Caesar's bloodline is also superb in the 'A' class, he is so valued by Ange not just because he is a child of the Gattuso family, and Chu Zhang is not as uncontrollable as the file says, I feel opposite him Can't feel him leaking out with killing energy, which means that although he has a high percentage of dragon blood, he has more self-control and can bind his dragon blood, a quality that is rare; the only thing I can't be sure of is Lu Mingfei, but Hilbert Jean Ange believes in people that the world has to believe in!" Orange Masamune said in a deep voice, "Their arrival is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us that must not be missed!"

"I feel the same way, they know we are yakuza, but their attitude is not fearful, they respond with dignity, and they even know the tea ceremony," frowned Kotaro Kazamura, "but Mr. Masamune, you used boiling water to make the tea and they drank it all, is it... . isn't it hot?"

On the terrace, the Caesar team sat silently in the wind, sitting up straight, watching as Genchiyo took out his notebook, charts, and various materials.

"I see hot tears in your eyes." Caesar lowered his voice.

"But that is not because my heart is full of deep love." Lumpy also lowered his voice.

"Doesn't your damn book say that tea should be cooled before drinking?"

"It didn't, not a word ......"

"But at least we broke the trick of these Japanese ......"

Chu Zhang licked the fiery palate of his mouth, wondering if the cup of hot tea had scalded off a layer of skin there. Although he did not dare to agree with Caesar that the already party had won the round of contact, such strong self-esteem seems to be bad to complain about Caesar's good sense of victory.

"The mission description Norma has already passed to the group leader, I think all of you are clear that your mission this time is to survey the Lenin icebreaker that sank in 1992, now I will give you a detailed mission description." Wakako Gen spread out the chart on the table and made a red circle at a certain location, "This is the chart of the Sea of Japan, Lenin's last distress signal was sent from this location I circled, 120 nautical miles from the Japanese coastline."

"Well." Caesar nodded his head.

"Although there are not many routes through that sea, it is indeed a safe sea, with no reefs or icebergs or turbulence, and for an icebreaker of Lenin's tonnage, the likelihood of her being wrecked in a safe sea is extremely small. It is designed to conquer the most dangerous sea in the world, torpedo head-on hits will not sink. But the fact that such a ship was wrecked in safe waters is one of the biggest unsolved cases in the Japanese Coast Guard's archives."

"Hmm." Caesar nodded.

"They don't know either why the Lenin sank or why the Lenin went through the Sea of Japan, but it didn't invade Japanese territorial waters, so there's no way to pursue the matter. That the ship may have been carrying cargo related to the Dragons was the word from an alumnus working in Russian intelligence, but he couldn't find any more evidence to support this conclusion. He said the sinking of the Lenin was a taboo in the Northern Fleet and within the KGB, no one wanted to talk about it, and no one could find anyone who understood it, as if everyone thought they would be haunted by bad luck if they got involved in it, and that there was something as unclean as ghosts in it. The Academy has been trying to search for the wreck in recent years, but the work has been slow because it's one of the deepest waters in the world."

"Well." Caesar continued to nod his head.

"Do you guys want a few pieces of ice to contain?"
