Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Niord, a guy who is very familiar to everyone present.

The group of self-proclaimed observers, in the eyes of the "elders" sitting here, are just a group of cowardly speculators, or pure fools.

They thought they could stay out of the matter safely by giving up the struggle for power, but they didn't know that when all the dust settled, they would be the first batch of old ministers to be purged.

"Mars, why do you suspect that I have colluded with Niord?" The old man frowned, seemingly puzzled.

"Edjo... I remember that you and Mars are the same generation of ancients."

"Ridiculous, what can this explain?"

"Doubt needs evidence, Mars, this is the rule."

"But an ordinary hunter really shouldn't have the ability and qualifications to break through Edjo's alchemy formation."

"That's not the point. The point is that we haven't found any traces of that hunter. When we had almost half of the authority on the hunter's website, that hunter's account was canceled. Obviously someone is covering up for this incident."

"You mean to say there are traitors among us?"

"Why not? Don't forget, folks, we've been 'traitors' more than once, and betrayal is only worth it to us."

"Ridiculous! If we can't even maintain the most basic trust, how is it different from the rabble?"

……

The elders who had been silent all this time began to leave the stage one by one. Instead of watching the show at the beginning, they joined the debate and gradually formed the embryonic form of multiple factions.

This originally deserted and empty hall suddenly became like the oldest sacred hall in ancient Greece. The eloquents gathered under the dome depicting myths and started a fierce dispute.

"enough!"

The old man named Edjo suddenly shouted, interrupting the heated debate.

His dim yellow eyes gradually brightened like the golden sun, staring at Mars through the screen, and said in a calm tone:

"Mars, we have no malice towards you. We will be each other's solid allies until the final battle. If you feel that we are besieging and questioning you, then we apologize to you, but you shouldn't use such petty words. It's a child's trick to try and get yourself out of a situation that doesn't exist."

"When under siege, the besieged stare at a person and desperately pull the other person into the same situation... This kind of street fighting method in the human world does not need to be placed in front of us."

He looked around the audience coldly, not only warning Mars, but also ending this meaningless dispute.

"One thing at a time, don't worry, our gathering is to eliminate the barriers and suspicions between each other, and build the most basic trust."

"Since Mars, you are so curious about whether there is any connection between me and Niord, let's start with this matter."

"Mars, why do you suspect that I have a connection with Niord?"

The scepter hit the ground heavily, and amidst the dull sound, Edjo on the throne asked in a deep voice.

Mars' expression remained unchanged, and he snapped his fingers. A figure walked out of the darkness behind his seat, opened a laptop, and placed it on the table in front of Mars.

At the same time, everyone received a video and a document.

"Hunter user [001,], this account has been canceled on the Hunter website. Normally, cancellation means death, but I recently found his trace, and the information has been sent to each of you. What I want to say Yes, we found Niord sleeping in him."

Mars said calmly.

Everyone present has basically heard of this ID. It is this ID that has stolen the "Star of Caesar" from Mars and a golden mask from Odin.

At first they thought that this person was Odin's subordinate, and Odin had been trying to seize the "Star of Caesar" that came with the comet more than 2000 years ago, but even in the elders' meeting where the ancients gathered, Edjo was also The top first-generation species.

For the Dragon Clan, living a long time does not necessarily mean being strong, but it must be tricky.

If he really belonged to a faction, Edjo should belong to the lineage of the king of the earth and the mountain, but he never admitted that, because in the time when he was active, there was no so-called king of the earth and the mountain.

The current monarchs on the throne, Jormungandr and Fenrir, can only be regarded as the descendants of his descendants.

With Edjo's sophistication and calmness, even if Odin took action in person, Edjo had already gone to New York before he arrived in Egypt.

It is precisely because of this that at first everyone suspected that this was someone sent by Odin, but after [001,] completed another mission, they gradually dispelled this idea.

This guy actually stole Odin's second [Golden Mask], which is an important carrier of Odin's power. It is because of this thing that Odin can still be active in the world when he is sealed. .

They also suspected whether this was Odin's self-directed and self-acted, but they found no relevant clues.

"Did you find the whereabouts of 001? Who? Didn't you capture him?" someone asked.

"Unfortunately, Niord is still very cautious, that guy seems to have awakened." Mars shook his head.

"Don't underestimate Niord, he is also the best among the ancients." Someone reminded, "Similarly, Mars, this is not enough evidence for you to accuse Edjo of colluding with Niord. "

"But it's enough to make us suspicious, isn't it?" Mars asked back.

Edjo lowered his eyes and said: "Now I can understand the accusations you made against me, Mars. I am willing to conduct a 'self-defense' after this meeting to prove my innocence. Let this topic come to an end for now."

The hall fell into silence for a short while, as if the "self-defense" he said surprised everyone.

"...You don't need to do this, Edjo, this accusation is not worthy of your actions." Someone said in a deep voice.

Edjo raised his hand and interrupted his speech. He looked around the crowd and said in a sincere and slow tone: "Everyone, the current situation is not clear. We are in a difficult situation. I don't want us to spend time in this situation." To doubt the allies inside, I hope we can cooperate as sincerely as we did back then."

"Mars." Edjo looked at Mars, "I will give you a satisfactory answer to your accusation. Now, please tell us what happened in Tokyo and why we lost our relationship with you." Li Wuyue's contact?"

Mars crossed his hands under his chin, narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't know where Li Wuyue is going, but I have already reported to you what happened in Tokyo, and the report is very clear."

"Understood?" Edjo shook his head and said, "You should understand what we want to know, don't go around, Mars, just tell us, is it His Majesty Gao Tian who killed King Bai in Tokyo?"

With such a straightforward question, everyone present fixed their eyes on Mars.

Until Mars nodded slowly.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I can feel... His Majesty has returned."

This sentence instantly ignited everyone's nerves.

"Impossible! He's dead! We've divided up everything he has! It's everything!" Someone exclaimed angrily.

"Even the second-generation black king can return...Why can't he? Could it be that in your eyes, he is not as good as that traitor?" Someone asked back.

"The second-generation black king? A despicable power-stealer full of lies! I said back then that no one can betray His Majesty and get away with it!" Someone excitedly said.

"Unfortunately, we have lived safely and comfortably for tens of thousands of years after betraying Him." Someone sneered at the former.

The scene got out of control in an instant, some people were frightened and angry at the authenticity of this news, some were afraid of His return, and some even began to turn over old scores...

"Where is His Majesty now?"

Suddenly, someone asked loudly.

Silence came instantly, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. According to His Majesty's temperament, if he really came back, the time from killing Bai Wang to the present is enough for him to conquer the world back and forth ten times.

"Your Majesty returned to a small southern city in China not long ago, and is currently living in seclusion there." Mars said lightly.

"Reclusive?"

Everyone couldn't believe the word they heard.

"That's the only word I can use." Mars shrugged. "Could it be that we are recuperating, or wait until we take the initiative to see him?"

"Maybe... is playing in the world? No, this is not His style." Someone raised a conjecture, but it was overthrown by itself in the next second.

"It's his younger brother who is playing in the world..." Someone suddenly realized, "Mars, how can you be sure that it is His Majesty who has returned, not his younger brother?"

"Indeed! Maybe it's not His Majesty who has returned, but the mortal king. Otherwise, how would you explain His Majesty's change?" Someone said loudly.

"Perhaps he, like Fenrir back then, had his soul damaged and turned into a mentally handicapped child. It is very possible that the second generation Ned Hogg said that he would not come back, although he does not know what happened , but there is always a price to pay for some things, and even he has to play by the rules, presumably."

A young man shrugged his shoulders and said in a frivolous tone. He was a rare "young man" present, and he was a descendant of the ancients.

In the past, his words would definitely cause a burst of sympathetic laughter, just like the funny juniors who are responsible for mediating the atmosphere at a family banquet, and the elders cast good-natured laughter at the funnyness of the juniors.

But this time, the scene was extremely condensed.

Everyone looked at him calmly, their gazes were indifferent and cold, and there was no longer the kind and low-spirited laughter of the past.

Some are just the indifference of the clowns in the audience stands.

The smile on his face solidified inch by inch, and then shattered. He put away his fake smile, shrank back expressionlessly, and hid himself in the darkness.

"Look, we retreat into the darkness when encountering a little setback, just like us before." In the empty and dark hall, Mars said quietly.

He looked around the audience, finally set his eyes on the young man, and said with a cold smile:

"It's not funny, though."

"Didn't your leaders teach you that power is to be looked up to and firmly held in your hands, not to be ridiculed?"

"You should learn to respect power, young man."

"His Majesty never follows the rules, because he is the one who makes the rules!"

No one knew what the expression of the young man who had been hiding in the darkness was now, but low laughter gradually appeared in the field, and those once "good-hearted" laughter echoed again in this cold and temperatureless hall.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

"Young people's education ends here." Edjo said slowly, "Let's get back to the topic, no matter which majesty returns, we need to readjust the plan and avoid a head-on collision with that one in the short term , let Odin deal with him if possible."

Mars shook his head and said, "Odin is not an idiot. He may even have known the news of His Majesty's return, but he kept it secret, sitting in the dark and watching us confront him."

"Odin is not an idiot, and neither are we, and that His Majesty is even less likely to be, so what?" Edjo said slowly, "It's just a stalemate, let's see who will move first? Opportunities are created, Mal S."

Mars was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I agree with your statement, but I don't like this proposal."

"In front of that person, there is no proposal worth looking at, but we must try." Edjo said.

"Everyone, thank you again." The old man stood up slowly, holding the top of the scepter with both hands, he looked down at everyone from a bird's-eye view, but said in a self-deprecating tone, "Thanks to that Majesty for his consistent 'kindness' With 'equal treatment', in His eyes, there is no difference between us and Odin, so He does not care whether to deal with Odin or the former traitor first."

Everyone returned to silence, the previous chuckle disappeared again, and a certain heavy atmosphere condensed above everyone's heads like a dark cloud.

They tried their best to forget a certain period of unbearable years, but in the end, when the existence that should have died appeared again, they didn't even confirm it with their own eyes. They just heard rumors about him and recalled this period of confusion and domination. The years fell into panic.

"We have been waiting for so many years, it is impossible to just give up like this. Our preparation for thousands of years is not to bow down again after the appearance of that majesty, and to offer loyalty again!" Edjo said in a deep voice.

However, the atmosphere in the room was still condensed, and his words did not disintegrate the heaviness that had begun to take root in everyone's hearts again.

Until Mars spoke again.

"I like humans very much. Humans are really very interesting creatures. When they gather together to argue endlessly, they can always come up with enlightening insights, about the world, about something, or about the world. human opinion."

"For example, this sentence—"

He looked coldly at the dark monarch behind the projections above his head, and said word by word, "If a person kneels for a long time, he will never be able to stand up again. Maybe the dragon is the same."

Edjo stroked the scepter with deep eyes.

He looked at the crowd who gradually regained their confidence under the encouragement of Mars' words, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No one knows how much that His Majesty has recovered, just as no one can forget the stalwart figure who once sat high in the sky.

This awe rooted deep in the blood is a curse like the sorrow of blood.

Just the suspicion of His return easily shakes everyone's confidence.

What if... that one really came before them?

With the mighty power that that person once displayed, even the most advanced scientific and technological crystallization in the human world can't do anything to him.

The peak technology in the human world can plow the surface of the earth, but it cannot penetrate the center of the earth, let alone touch the throne above the sky.

And the power of the dragon clan...

A haze flashed in Edjo's heart. This is not a good proposal. In human terms, it is a big knife in front of Guan Gong?Or did Li Gui see Li Kui?
"Perhaps... that His Majesty has really changed. The reason why he has been staying in that small city is because he has people he cares about, just like those human beings who are easily manipulated by us. As long as there are things and people he cares about, he will It means that he has a loophole, and we can try to seize this loophole to threaten him, such as grabbing someone who is important to him, or using the fate of the entire world to coerce him to make certain concessions."

The young man who had shrunk into the darkness before suddenly poked his head out again.

He showed his head under the light, talked with high spirits, and looked at everyone with anticipation in his eyes, as if a child who had just put forward advanced ideas at a family gathering was waiting for praise from his family.

however.

Everyone looked at him in silence, without saying a word.

Mars rubbed his chin and stared blankly at the corner of the darkness. Everyone could tell that this guy was distracted again, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Edjo was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "This joke is not funny, Nixos. I have to say, you have no talent for comedy. Promise me, stop telling jokes you learned from humans."

The young man's expression instantly became wonderful.

He nodded resentfully, retracted his head again, and hid in the darkness again.
