Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 289 Them Under the Starry Sky

Why is there a temple dedicated to the Caesar in the depths of the Arctic Circle?

Chen Motong stared fixedly at the statue in the temple, walked up to Professor Saka, and asked, "Professor Saka, have you found anything?"

Professor Saka was groping for the ancient writing on the wall with fascination and excitement, and he reluctantly looked away after hearing her question.

"Not yet, but after we read the writing on the wall, maybe we can find out why this temple is here."

After all, he was sent by the benefactor, Saka explained patiently, and then tactfully drove him away.
"We need time to collect information. If Ms. Chen feels bored, why not come to help, or go outside to see if the signal can be connected."

Chen Motong did not back down. She stared at Professor Saka and said, "Professor, don't you have any guesses? Why did we find a temple dedicated to Caesar without finding the lost civilization after searching for so long?" ?”

Professor Saka hesitated for a while, and said: "This doesn't mean anything. After the death of Caesar, some of his subordinates fled Rome. Maybe they did it."

"This is not the answer I want." Chen Motong said bluntly, "I can't explain this answer to the higher-ups. Do you understand what I'm talking about, Professor?"

Professor Saka was silent for a moment, he turned his head to look at the statue located in the temple, and said slowly:
"In the fourth month of Julius Caesar's assassination, that is, the month of his birth, Octavian held a competitive festival in memory of him. During the festival, a comet appeared on the sky before sunset for seven consecutive days Appearing in the sky for an hour, people believe that this is the soul of Caesar's ascension to heaven. The appearance of this great comet has also become a powerful political propaganda for Octavian's ruling career. He officially began to build Caesar in the third year. Temple. This temple is for the purpose of worshiping comets, so it is also called the Temple of Comets. According to the records of the ancient Roman poet Ovid: Behind the temple is a huge standing statue of Caesar, on his forehead Sticking to a flaming comet..."

Chen Motong stared at the comet on the forehead of the statue, and whispered: "Are you going to tell me that this is the temple of the comet?"

"No, Octavian did it for political propaganda. It is impossible for him to send people from the Mediterranean to build a temple here." Professor Saka directly denied, "After Caesar died, his adopted son Octavian succeeded him, but he Where is the real son?"

"You mean... Ptolemy XV, little Caesar? But wasn't he executed by Octavian?" Chen Motong asked suspiciously.

Professor Saka caressed the ancient writing on the wall, and murmured: "History is indeed recorded in this way. History will not deceive people, but those who record history can deceive future generations. Look here, Ms. Chen, here is the signature They are... descendants of Caesar. The people who built this temple are descendants of Caesar's blood."

Chen Motong couldn't understand these ancient characters, but Professor Saka fell into the interpretation of these ancient characters again, and she returned to Zero's side.

"Is it possible that the Caesar in history was a dragon?" Chen Motong lowered his voice.

"In the history recorded by the Secret Party, Caesar is a mixed race, he was born in the Julian family of a mixed race family. Do you suspect that this is the relic of the dragon clan, and Caesar is the dragon king?" Ling said.

Chen Motong said: "History of the Secret Party records that the King of the Earth and the Mountain once incarnated Attila. He led the army across the Alps and invaded Italy in an attempt to regain the former territory. It is said that during the period of the dragon clan's rule, the city of Rome was his of the fief."

Zero stared and said: "Do you suspect that Caesar is the king of the earth and the mountain? The Senate assassinated him because he discovered his identity? This is unlikely."

"I know, but I always feel that there must be some kind of connection between them." Chen Motong said softly.

"No contact." A low and calm male voice came from behind them.

Ling and Chen Motong turned around and retreated almost instantly, but they were pressed on their shoulders by a hand from behind, which was as heavy as a mountain and they couldn't move!
"Don't get excited, in your words, I'm the backup you've been waiting for."

The unexpected guest's tone was flat, he looked deeply at the two women in front of him, "The world is so wonderful that you two stand together."

There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in this sentence, but Chen Motong and Ling didn't have time to delve into it.

"Who are you?" Zero asked coldly.

"You can call me by my current name, Xia Li." The man let go of his hands on their shoulders, and raised his eyes slightly, "You can also call me... Attila as before."

Standing here, he looked up at the statue in the temple, his eyes seemed to have spanned more than two thousand years, and he saw the uncrowned king standing on the top of ancient Rome.

There was a shock in Chen Motong's mind.

The man continued to think to himself: "Rome is not our fief. The reason why I led the army to attack ancient Rome was because the land was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. In the end, it turned out that my feeling was right, just like I am at this moment. Feeling this evil breath again."

"You...are that dragon in BJ's Underground Nibelungen?" Chen Motong hesitated, the demeanor of the man in front of her was somewhat different from the silly dragon in her memory.

"Ah! This is... what is this thing!"

"God, this is..."

Suddenly there was a terrified scream in front, and a moment of fear spread in the temple.

Chen Motong also didn't care about the sense of absurdity brought to her by the person in front of her. She looked around, and a girl fell to the ground. She grabbed her neck with both hands, turned around and looked at everyone, her body twisted on the ground like a snake. Moving, eyes frightened and crazy.

At that moment, Chen Motong vaguely saw something get into the girl's mouth.

Someone stepped forward to stop the girl, but just as he touched the girl's hand, he felt as if he had been stung by a poisonous scorpion. He screamed and staggered back, fell to the ground and raised his hand tremblingly, as if he had seen something terrifying. thing.

Others did not dare to step forward, Professor Saka shouted their names loudly and asked what happened.

The second person who fell turned his head slowly, but there was a creepy smile on his pale face.

Everyone was shocked by the strange scene speechless.

"They're all dead."

A faint voice came from the man's mouth, and Chen Motong turned his head abruptly.

"You guys are so unprofessional. I've seen autobiographies written in your profession. Compared with your predecessors, you are full of mistakes and omissions."

The man looked towards the southeast corner of the temple, "It's fine if the candles aren't lit, and you don't even wear a gas mask and an oxygen bottle breathing mask. It's reasonable to destroy the group. If I didn't arrive in time, you would all die."

"You mean there is a problem with the air?" Zero asked suddenly.

"Yes, there is a kind of microorganism in the air in this temple. They will invade the spiritual system of the living creature, eat away the brain tissue of the living creature, and release something similar to an anesthetic during the process, causing the living creature to have incredible hallucinations .” The man nodded, “This kind of thing is more difficult than it was back then.”

"Then they..." Zero said softly.

"They are all carriers, even if they don't die, I will not allow them to leave this temple."

"This kind of microorganism is also effective for dragons?" Chen Motong asked suddenly.

The man was silent for a while, and said with cold eyes: "It's not just effective, this kind of microbes from outside the sky are more interested in dragons than other creatures, and they seem to be extremely sensitive to spiritual power."

"Outside the sky?!" Chen Motong said in amazement, "You mean... Meteor?"

"It's not a meteor, it's a comet." Zero said suddenly.

"Comet?" Chen Motong frowned. Comets and meteors are completely different concepts.

"It seems that you have guessed the answer." The man stared at the comet pattern between the eyebrows of the statue, "The comet named Caesar's Star left some debris when it passed the solar system, and was finally pulled by the gravity of the earth, bringing I found this strange microorganism. I got the news that I led a large army to conquer and purify Rome, but in the end I was put together by someone.”

"Is it the secret party guarding Rome at that time?"

Chen Motong's eyes were serious. If that's the case, could it be related to the secret party back then?But if this kind of microorganism is extremely interested in the dragon race, I'm afraid it won't let the hybrid species go. Can the secret party really control this kind of thing?
Microbes or something... Was there a way to observe such creatures back then?
"Secret Party?" Xia Li was silent, as if lost in memory, "No, it was the Council of Elders. Those who blocked me outside the city of Rome were the members of the Council of Presbyterians hidden in the secret party."

"The achievement of that man in alchemy is second only to Norton among the dragons. He has extracted more than ten kinds of neurotoxins that are useful to the dragons. He was finally exiled by the elders, but I didn't know that the so-called exile was just to protect the dragons." ..."

……

……

XZ.

The sky near daytime is gray and gray, and the mountains in the distance are stretching and silent, like huge stone figures sleeping here.

An overly handsome man stood on a hillside, with long blond hair, sea blue eyes, a tall nose bridge and a manly beard, wearing a pair of rimless glasses.

He took off his glasses and threw them away, looked up at the trace of the comet in the sky, widened his eyes and said: "Damn it, what those old bastards said is actually true? This **** comet has really come back!" Isn’t it the non-periodic comet that was promised? No, who can prove that this thing is really my son’s comet more than 2000 years ago? It’s fake! It’s all fake!”

Patsy stood behind him, looking up silently at the coming comet.

It turns out that the so-called non-periodic comet just surpassed the timeline of human observation. For more than 2000 years, too many people and things have been buried. Who can still remember this star that passed by the solar system?
For human beings, this is a long time enough to bury all the vastness and greatness, but for it, it is just another reunion in a long journey.

"No! The time is not right!" Pompeii suddenly had a low voice, no longer joking about going first, he frowned, thinking about something, without words for a long time, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Passy, ​​"You said that in the family? A group of immortals suddenly wanted to see me? They didn't say what it was?"

Patsy shook his head: "Mr. Frost didn't tell me the reason."

Pompeii was silent for a long time again, and finally shook his head and said, "That doesn't seem to be an urgent matter. The plan remains unchanged, and I will continue to stay in XZ."

"Maybe it's something related to this comet." Percy said softly.

Pompeii smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's the old people who should be in a hurry, maybe you don't have to die."

Passy was silent for a moment: "I'm not afraid of death."

"Not being afraid of death and wanting to die are two different concepts." Pompeii lazily said, "Young people should be more energetic, and come and play with my son if you have nothing to do."

"By the way, Patsy, do you know what I'm looking for in XZ?"

Passy was silent. The so-called participation in the Charity Double Cultivation Ceremony of the Trumpet Sect was just an excuse. When he came to this land to find Pompeii, he found that the patriarch who was careless and careless was far from what he had imagined. look like.

"XZ is a mysterious land. Back then, Hitler sent elite SS troops to XZ to investigate the secret of eternal life. We also suspected that this was the sleeping place of a certain dragon king. Not only us, Kassel also sent elite Many people came here to investigate and survey, but in the end it was all fruitless.”

"Did you find any clues?"

Patsy said calmly.

"The sleeping place of the dragon king?" Pompeii smiled strangely, "XZ was indeed the sleeping place of two dragon kings, but those two have been dug out long ago. I didn't come here to find the dragon king, but I’m here to find something, do you know XZ’s armor?”

"There are really two dragon kings in XZ?" Percy was stunned.

"If you think about what XZ most admires, the answer will come out. Do you know about sky burial? Some beliefs and customs have their roots for thousands of years, but they have lost their original true meaning in the end." Pompeii smiled. .

What XZ most admires and yearns for is...

Sky? !
Percy was terrified.

"In XZ, 'Tuojia' is also called Tiantie, which means 'God Iron that fell from the sky'. In fact, it is a meteorite from outside the sky."

Pompeii started to move forward, and said while walking with the same tone,

"I got a message that there is an extraterrestrial meteorite buried in this land that has been dormant for more than 2000 years. This meteorite has one and only one function - to create a vacuum element zone. Passy, ​​do you know what this means?"

"In the area, no hybrids and dragons can use the spirit of speech." Paxi said seriously.

"To be precise, it is impossible to interfere with the elements." Pompeii said leisurely, "Dragon is a creature that transcends the rules of physics. You know that a creature that is more than ten meters long and weighs hundreds of tons can fly with its wings and reach the speed of sound. , What kind of concept is this? We have reason to suspect that the detachment of the dragon race is completely dependent on the control of the elements."

……

……

It started on this day and lasted for seven days. No matter which country or city they live in, or which residential building or building they live in, all human beings can see that road at night. After more than two thousand years, The light trail reunited with the earth again.

It is so shining, it seems to herald a new beginning, and it seems to announce the arrival of a certain ending.

But whether it is the beginning or the end, the comet will go all the way along the established trajectory.

　I'm guilty!
