Dragon Clan: Restart your life

The phone behind him suddenly rang, startling Norton.

He turned around and picked up the cell phone by the pool. His eyes narrowed and he saw that the caller was that guy!

He hesitated, put the phone back where it was, and pretended he didn't hear it...

He slowly sank into the hot spring pool, and the sound of the bell was mostly separated by the hot spring water, making it seem much muffled.

"Sir, your phone is ringing. It's Mr. Lu."

The butler's voice pulled Norton out of the hot spring pool. The butler stayed not far away and heard the phone ringing. After not answering it for a long time, he came over to check on the situation and softly called out the man who was sinking under the water.

Norton's face darkened, he responded in a muffled voice, and took the phone he handed over.

Seeing that the housekeeper had no intention of leaving, he said with a straight face: "I want to eat ramen, go and prepare a midnight snack for me."

"Okay, sir, is it still pork bone flavor?" the butler bowed.

"For seafood flavor, I want abalone and sea urchin ramen, the hand-grinded kind."

After sending the housekeeper away, Norton looked at the phone that had not been hung up, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

There is no reason not to answer the call this time. If the other party learns about the situation from the housekeeper, things will go wrong.

Before connecting the call, he glanced at the housekeeper as he left. The old guy turned around and looked at him, bowed and left with a smile on his face.

Tsk...that look seems to say you'd better get through quickly.

Norton suppressed his dissatisfaction and pressed the answer button, and an impatient voice came from over there.

"Are you pooping? It took you so long to take a poop? You didn't fall into a pit, did you?"

Listen, is this what a monarch can say? !

vulgar!

He has indeed completely fallen. He guessed right. He has been completely assimilated by humans. Even if the dynasty is rebuilt, he will only become the kind of person who eats, drinks and has fun all day long!

"The phone was not with me just now, so I didn't hear it." Norton said honestly.

"Next time, remember to keep your phone close to you. Can you behave like a contemporary young man?" The other end of the phone said dissatisfiedly, "I won't do this next time."

"Yeah." Norton said honestly.

"...Why are you acting weird? Have you changed back to Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei on the other end of the phone asked in surprise.

This guy's tone doesn't sound right.

What did Lu Mingze do to him? Before he left Tokyo, he met with Norton to confirm that he was still Norton.

But now, this guy's tone sounds somewhat similar to Old Tang.

"I am Norton! Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire!" Norton emphasized angrily on the spot.

"Ah, yes, yes -" was an extremely perfunctory reply.

"Let me ask you something. How was it that you were killed last time? That was when you were assisting Gongsun Shu. You ended up dying in the Bronze Palace under the Three Gorges. What happened?"

Lu Mingfei asked seriously,

"No matter how bad you are, you can leave if you want to, right? Could the ancient humans keep you? What I'm most curious about is how your bronze city was breached by humans. Can your alchemy block the past? The White King’s army has degraded to the point where even humans can’t stop it after a few thousand years?”

"In addition, why did you choose to assist that human being named Gongsun Shu? You are the king of bronze and fire, the first generation of the species, and you actually succumbed to the command of a human being. Don't tell me that you are hiding your identity. Gongsun Shu is just someone you put under On the surface, according to the historical records of the secret party... Tsk, you were so embarrassed to shout so loudly just now that you are Norton."

Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue on the other end of the phone.

But Norton, who was reminded of the past, was rare and did not get angry, but fell into silence.

"Do you know who killed us?" Norton said quietly.

"I know, son of the plane Liu Xiu. The only achievements I can make are politics and history."

"Son of the plane... this description is very appropriate." Norton whispered, "If you were also born in that era, you would know what destiny is."

Lu Mingfei wondered: "Is it appropriate for you to talk about destiny in front of me?"

"No, you don't mean what I mean." Norton paused, "That person really seems like the whole world is revolving around him. Gongsun Shu is indeed the one I chose to support, and the history recorded by the Secret Party is not entirely correct. Yes, you don’t need to mock me like this.”

"And the reason why I chose to support humans is because someone was secretly searching for traces of dragons at that time. There were still many dragons left in the Central Plains at that time, but in just a few decades, half of the dragons in the Central Plains were reduced!"

"I haven't forgotten that special moment, it all started that year."

Italy.

Lu Mingfei sat by the fountain and wondered: "Special time? What does it mean?"

"In the fourth month of the fifth year of Emperor Yuan's reign, a comet appeared in the northwest. It was red-yellow and eight feet long. In the next few days, it was more than ten feet long. It pointed northeast and was at Shenfen..." Norton muttered in a low voice, "This sentence comes from " "Han Shu·Tianwen Zhi" records a non-periodic comet, and in ancient Roman history it was also called 'Julian's Star'."

Lu Mingfei's expression changed in an instant.

"In the decades after the comet passed by the earth, someone secretly started an ambush against the dragon clan. I tried to track it, but in the end it was to no avail. Even I couldn't find any trace of that person. His methods were abnormal. So fierce, even the next generation died in his hands."

"You are the first-generation species. The second-generation species and the first-generation species are completely different levels. Are you scared?" Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Yes, I'm scared." Norton's voice was very calm. "Aren't you curious why humans and hybrids can break through my Bronze City? Bronze City is the strongest fortress I built, but in that battle, I portrayed All the alchemical matrices have lost their effect, and there is a mysterious power that suppresses my alchemy."

Lu Mingfei's heart sank.

At this time, he certainly knows where the power to suppress Norton's alchemy comes from.

He guessed it when he heard about Caesar's Star!

"The enemy hiding in the dark has a power that can restrain us. I can't help but be afraid. Without alchemy and speech spirit, Constantine and I are just stronger humans. We don't even have time to conceive. Dragon body, it takes a lot of energy to give birth to a dragon body, and humans at that time couldn’t even eat.”

"It is precisely because of this that we supported Gongsun Shu. I need him to cover up for me on the bright side. It would be better if he could become emperor. I can secretly control the Gongsun family of all generations. But after that we met That human named Liu Xiu..."

Norton gasped a few times: "Do you know what fate means? I tried to assassinate him seven times, seven times! All seven times failed because of coincidence!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

A first-generation species did not hesitate to lower his status to personally assassinate a human monarch, or did he fail seven times in total?

Is this a joke?

"Are you sure you weren't blocked?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"No! Although I did find a mysterious force under Liu Xiu, these seven failed assassinations have nothing to do with them!" Norton said firmly.

"Okay..." Lu Mingfei touched his nose, "So the death of you and Constantine is related to the mysterious force hiding in the dark?"

"Yes, they have a strange power, which suppresses us very much." Norton hesitated, "But this power is not stable, and the other party doesn't want to show up. Finally, I seized the opportunity and released [Zhulong" ], repulsed all incoming enemies, sealed the entire Bronze City, and made it sink to the bottom of the water."

"For the next few thousand years, Constantine and I have been sleeping in the egg. During this period, I vaguely felt someone wandering around the Bronze City, but he seemed to be afraid of something and could not come in."

"Until a few decades ago, someone wandered around the Bronze City again. This time he tried to break into the Bronze City. This movement woke me up. I forcibly came out of the egg early. I was in a bad state and barely controlled the Bronze City to repel him. Because I woke up early, my memory was fragmented and my mental state was extremely poor. I accidentally walked out of the Bronze City and floated far along the current. Then I became the Old Tang you know. When I woke up again...it was Kang The moment Standing died in front of me.”

Lu Mingfei quietly listened to Norton or Old Tang's confession.

Everything came together at this moment, the reason why Norton woke up early, the reason why they were defeated back then.

There are several doubts in this.

First, the birth of Caesar's Star. Lu Mingfei did not expect that this meteorite would be related to Norton's death.

It turns out that someone discovered its secret thousands of years ago.

who is it?

The most likely target Lu Mingfei could think of was Ouroboros.

More than two thousand years ago, Caesar's Heart passed by the earth for the first time, leaving behind various meteorite fragments at that time. The existence of Ouroboros, who was suspected to have mastered the secrets, began to hunt the dragons, and Norton also became his target, but the power he mastered seemed incomplete, so that Norton escaped by dying.

He didn't want to show his face because he knew that the Dragon Clan would never really die. They had already left a cocoon, and he didn't want to expose himself so quickly.

But why is he hunting the dragon clan?

Research?

If it is really Ouroboros, then this is completely in line with the setting of the scientific madman. Lu Mingfei thinks that woman is the equipment department of the Second Sun Era, or an enhanced version.

As for the second doubt, is Liu Xiu's destiny mentioned by Norton true or false?

Caesar told him not long ago that he could see the flow of the elemental sea and the world would respond to his will.

If Liu Xiu also had this kind of ability, it would not be a myth that he was destined to die.

But where does this ability come from?

The power of the dragon clan comes from the key rooted in the blood, which is the "spirit", which is the key that can communicate with the power of the elemental sea.

This key was stored in the dragon's blood by them in the early years.

Theoretically, if humans have a strong person like them, "power transmission" can also be achieved.

But this is obviously not possible.

So where does this so-called power of being responded to by the world come from?

Are they children selected by the elemental audition?

This reason is somewhat similar to Digimon, but it is not impossible.

In a sense, he and Lu Mingze were the first creatures in this world to be selected by the elemental sea.

It's just that some accidents seemed to have happened on the way, which resulted in him gaining the power to counter the elemental sea.

According to that woman... she inherited the original will.

Does the so-called beginning refer to the first solar era?

Lu Mingfei sighed. He had too many doubts, and they all converged into one place.

He had a premonition that all the secrets related to the Elemental Sea would be answered in the First Solar Era.

That... unknown Nibelungen in Northern Siberia!

Lu Mingfei frowned. Lu Mingze woke up in this life near Swan Harbor, which is why he fell into the hands of Herzog.

Swan Harbor is located in Siberia.

Has Lu Mingze also found the lost Nibelung?

At least for now Frisis has confirmed that it is real.

"Hey, are you still there?" Norton asked.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei responded, and then asked, "Is Constantine about to be born?"

"...Soon." Norton glanced at the egg beside him and said softly, "It will probably be this month."

"Can you guess what Frisius wants to do now?"

"I can't guess it, but you should be able to guess it." Norton said solemnly, "He once said when he was drunk that everything he did was under your instruction!"

His instruction?

Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly.

It was really his instruction, but now, he didn't know what Frixis was going to do.

Many things are beyond their control, including Lu Mingze, Frixis, and even more so those prehistoric survivors.

It was as if the children around me suddenly grew up, had their own will, and wanted to do what they wanted to do.

"Call me when Constantine is born."

Norton in the hot spring listened to the busy sound on his earphones, put away his phone, and was stunned for a long time.

…

"Hey, is this EVA? Help me make arrangements. I'm ready to go to Siberia."

Lu Mingfei, who gave Norton his final instructions, made another call.

He looked up at the sun above him at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of dusk, with a calm expression.

This trip to Siberia has finally come.

Lu Mingfei, who had already obtained an answer, had no reason to hesitate.

He has to face what he should face, and this is also the "examination question" that Big Brother left for himself.

The bet between them is far from over. The time in Tokyo was just a test.

The real bet is about to begin.

What is put on the gambling table is everything he has.

But Big Brother comes empty-handed and goes empty-handed.

He doesn't care about winning, he cares about what he can win from him.

He wanted an answer, a reason, and this answer could only be given to him by himself.

And he will also learn the final secret from this final bet.

"Received. In order that the news of your trip to Italy will not be known to the Gattuso family for the time being, please go to the following coordinates and take a flight to France. A special plane will be delivered to the designated location."

EVA's calm voice sounded.

"Commissioner Lu Mingfei, please remember that in Dormitory 303, District 1, Kassel, there will always be a girl named Eriki Uesugi, waiting for you to knock on the door home."

There was a rumble of engines overhead, and a plane passed over his head. Lu Mingfei almost didn't hear his senior sister's words.

Lu Mingfei looked at the vast and lonely autumn sky and smiled.

"receive!"
