Chapter 218 Under the Throne
"Lu Mingze." Lu Mingfei called softly in the deserted field.
Eriki waded barefoot in the stream, the clear mountain spring was gurgling, and the river was paved with a path made of pebbles. When she lifted her skirt, she looked like a fairy in the lake, as pure as an elf who had never experienced the world.
Lu Mingfei stood on the field, smiling and waving to Hui Liyi. The sun shone on the girl's white skirt, making it look as beautiful as a painting.
"Yes, brother." Lu Mingze appeared behind him.
The water splash raised by the girl's feet was frozen in mid-air, reflecting the sunlight and shining like diamonds.
"Waiting for orders at any time." Lu Mingze wore white gloves, a black suit, and a golden unilateral glasses on his left eye. He smiled slyly, "Are you planning to hold a wedding of the century? Don't worry, leave it all to me. The whole world can hear the wedding salute to you and your bride.”
Lu Mingfei felt that Lu Mingze seemed to have grown taller. When they first met, he was still a little boy of about 10 years old. Now he looks like a junior high school student, but he is wearing this Sebastian COS Seriously, it's still like a kid pretending to be an adult.
Lu Mingfei sat in the shade at the edge of the field, took out the wedge pill from his sword bag, and drew out the blade. The smooth blade reflected his face.
The smile on Lu Mingze's face disappeared and turned solemn.
"Remember what we talked about before?" Lu Mingfei said softly.
After Old Tang was resurrected, he had a chat with Lu Mingze alone about his identity and about one of the three supreme beings mentioned by Old Tang.
In the history known to mankind, there are only two dragons who can be called supreme, the Black Emperor and the White Emperor. However, Lao Tang said that the third Supreme was deleted from all history.
Of course, Lu Mingfei would never forget that scene. In the ruins of the church, Lu Mingze was pierced by the golden holy spear, and the blood stained the lower half of the cross. His black clothes were torn, and the mark of humiliation was carved on him.
Only sinners would be treated like this. Lu Mingze may have committed some unforgivable sin, so serious that the dragon clan's history is not allowed to record it.
"Of course I remember." Lu Mingze sat next to Lu Mingfei, "So brother, are you ready to ascend the throne? The day I send you to the throne, you will know everything. If you are not ready, then you Just continue to be your ace commissioner, our deal is still valid."
Lu Mingfei stared at Kwanmaru's blade quietly, brushed its blade gently with his hand, and asked in a low voice: "What can you do on the throne?"
"Everything." Lu Mingze opened his hands, "You can do everything."
"How did the Black King die?"
"Only the Black King can kill the Black King. Maybe he is tired of living and wants to die for fun."
"Is King Bai recovering?"
"yes."
"Why did it revive? Wasn't it completely destroyed by the Black King?"
"The answer to this question will cost you a quarter, but if you're ready to take the throne, I can tell you for free."
"What's wrong with Eriki's body?"
"It's obvious that her bloodline is too high. The dragon blood in her body has reached 70%. She must be injected with serum to maintain stability. If you are willing to trade, I can help you extend her life span by twenty years."
"Only twenty years?"
"There's nothing we can do, brother." Lu Mingze spread his hands, "It's a miracle that she's alive till now. If we don't do anything, within three years, she will definitely die because of her bloodline. Her current state, She needs to take serum twice a week. If you don’t believe it, you can wait until tomorrow. Dark red blood will appear on her hands. On the fourth day, tiny scales will appear on her skin. On the seventh day, she will gradually develop. The serum must be administered before the tenth day, otherwise it will be too late.”
"Where's the serum?"
"Sheqi Ba's family has her. If you send her back, she can still struggle in the cage for two or three years."
Lu Mingfei was silent. He didn't expect the girl's condition to be so bad.
"If I trade two quarters, can I give her forty years of life?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.
"No, twenty years is the limit of what I can do." Lu Mingze shook his head, "But there is still a way to restore her health."
"any solution?"
"Replace blood with higher-level blood. The lower-level blood will be swallowed by the higher-level blood. If she can withstand the higher-level blood, she will be able to evolve, but her bloodline is at the top among hybrids, and also among dragons. The best one, the material used for blood exchange must be Dragon King level, and the premise is that she can withstand the toxicity of the blood of the first generation species. By the way, Constantine's blood does not work, he is not even an infant now. , if you choose this method, you must capture another noble Dragon King alive."
"Assuming I catch it, what's the success rate?"
"About half. Her physique is quite special, so the success rate will be very high."
"Half! Isn't this the same as gambling?"
"But if you succeed, you can get a Dragon King-level girl. According to mathematical expectations, this is much more cost-effective than if you exchange a quarter with me."
"How can life be measured by probability! Eri is not an object, she is a living person!"
"If neither of these two options satisfy you, then there is another way for you to choose." Lu Mingze's figure gradually became transparent, "Ascending the throne, you can do everything."
Lu Mingze left with the wind, and the world turned again. The conversation just now seemed to be false. It seemed that he did not exist at all and had never been here.
Eriyi walked out of the stream, her little feet stepped on the grass, holding a round and transparent pebble in her hand, with a smile on her soft and beautiful face. She dried the pebble with the edge of her skirt and placed the stone on the road Mingfei's palm.
Those eyes seemed to be able to speak. Lu Mingfei touched her head. The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the seeds of a dandelion flower fluttered along the path of the wind. The girl stretched out her hand, and the white fluffy dandelion fell on her head. She held it in her hands, looking at it in fascination.
Lu Mingfei was also fascinated by it
Tokyo, Genji Heavy Industries.
Yuan Xiaosheng was urgently recalled by his parents.
This is a plain white room with no unnecessary decorations, two white paper screens and a small wooden square table, everything is elegant.
Masamune Tachibana sat on the side of the wooden table. When Minamoto Chisheng came in, Masamune Tachibana poured hot tea for him.
This room is Tachibana Masamune's personal tea tasting room. An ancient Chinese saying goes, "To learn by studying things, everything must have the essence of the outside and the inside, and every plant and tree can all contain its true meaning."
Sometimes Masamune Tachibana would stay in this room all day, just drinking tea.
Only Yuan Zhisheng knew about this room, and he would come here to sit when he was upset.
"We have found something related to the ship." Yuan Zhisheng picked up the tea and took a sip. He himself does not like drinking tea very much, especially when he is anxious and impatient now, and he does not have the patience to drink tea. If A pot of wine might make him more interested, but after all, it was his father who brewed the tea, so he still had to take a few sips.
"That ship was the Lenin, the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker. It was originally part of the Soviet Northern Fleet, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union it quietly disappeared from the battleship sequence of the Northern Fleet. Its file was abruptly interrupted at On December 25, 1991, on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, he disobeyed the orders of the Northern Fleet and conducted a voyage to Japanese waters. Near Japanese territorial waters, it sent a distress signal, but the Self-Defense Forces did not find it."
Yuan Zhisheng's expression was solemn: "The ship sank in the Divine Burial Hall. This happened 18 years ago."
"Alas." Masamune Tachibana sighed and took out a black and white photo, which showed the complete appearance of the Lelin. "I know something about that ship."
He took off his black feather fabric and stood up. Underneath was a brown military uniform with the rank of major on his shoulders, high leather boots on his feet, and an eye-catching badge on the arm. The badge consisted of a sword, a shield and a red five-pointed star. , the inscription on the coat of arms is "КГБ".
These three Russian letters represent a violent institution that once shook the world, the Soviet State Security Council, better known as the "KGB."
"I once told you that I arrived in Japan by plane from Russia. This was a lie. The real means of transportation for me to arrive in Japan was actually the Lelin. I sank that ship with my own hands, but I didn't expect that it would sink right on the The Divine Burial Hall.”
Masamune Tachibana sat down again. He put on his military cap and looked like an old officer. The sharp military aura emanated from his eyes.
Yuan Zhisheng found that he seemed to have never really known the man in front of him. He knew almost nothing about Tachibana Masamune's past. Could it be that the bloody sacrificial alchemy array on the ship was set up by Tachibana Masamune?
He sat quietly on the cushion, waiting for Tachibana Masamune to explain everything. He was still willing to believe his father.
This man brought him out of the mountains and was the person he was closest to and most trusted.
"The story begins a long time ago. My real name is Bondarev, and I am an intelligence agent of the Kberg. I grew up in an unknown port. I am the first generation of experimental subjects created. I was artificially The test-tube babies were cultivated by a military institution that researched dragons. There were dragons in the unnamed port, as well as hybrids found from all over the Soviet Union. Dr. Herzog, the leader of the research project, extracted the 'perfect genes' from them. ', and then use perfect genes to create brand new humans."
"This sounds like a fictional science fiction story." Yuan Zhisheng frowned.
Tachibana Masamune said without changing his face: "But this did happen. There was a complete skeleton of the Dragon King buried in that unnamed port. Dr. Herzog was conducting research on dragons there, but everything suddenly changed. The nameless port is a research port built in the Arctic Circle. All our supplies are provided by the Lelin. All our intelligence comes from the newspapers on the Lelin. When it arrives at the port, we will obtain the information of the past year. Newspapers, through which we can know what is happening in the outside world."
"The thunderous news came. The Soviet Republic disintegrated and we became a real nameless port. When the Lelin arrived, there was not even food storage. It was not here to replenish supplies, but to take away the research results of the nameless port. , everything else will be destroyed, there are vacuum bombs buried underground in Nameless Port, and as long as they are activated, everything will be blown to ashes."
"Only Dr. Herzog knows this news, but he lost himself while spying on the power of dragons. He wants to rule the world with the new humans he created and become Nidhogg of the new world."
"He abandoned his former glory, pretended to be friends with the people on the Lelin, and released psychedelic drugs on the people on the Lelin and the entire port. It spread to everywhere through the heating pipes, but he alone could not activate it. I was one of his chosen crew members on the Lelin, because I grew up in Nameless Port and he knew me well.”
"We moved all the embryos onto the ship, including the dragon king's bones, and we dug out its eyes, which were its hatching eggs. On Christmas Eve, the doctor held a party in Nameless Port, and he put all the embryos on the ship. The remaining food was taken out and the chef was ordered to make a feast. The people on the Lelin were also invited to the dinner. They thought that the doctor was on their side. After enjoying this last meal, they would take the doctor on board. Get out, then activate the vacuum bomb and blow everything up."
"Everyone was stunned by hallucinogens, except for the doctor and us selected crew members. We hijacked the Lelin, and a fire broke out in the unknown port, attracting fighter jets to explore. After they realized that everything was irreparable, they detonated the bomb. We escaped successfully and sailed the Lelin towards Japan."
"Why are you going to Japan?" Yuan Zhisheng asked: "The Arctic Circle is far away from Japan. If you want to find a place to settle down, there is no need to come to Japan."
"This is because the doctor believes that Japan is the place where the biggest secrets of dragons are buried. Zhisheng, you are actually test-tube babies like me. You and Zhisheng are the doctor's most perfect works. He calls you π and ω. ." Tachibana Masamune said: "And the paternal genes of both of you come from a man named Uesugi Koshi, who was the previous generation emperor of the Eight Snake Qi families. It was precisely because of the existence of Uesugi Koshi that the doctor made up his mind to Heading to Japan.”
Minamoto had not heard the name of a child for a long time. He was stunned for a moment, sighed slightly, and then asked: "I have never heard of Uesugoshi."
"Because he is the shame of the family. Although he is the emperor of the family, he grew up in France and is a pure Frenchman. During his reign, he brought the entire Sheqi family into chaos. Later, he killed his My wife burned down the family shrine and disappeared from sight. The family completely wiped him out, and ordinary descendants are not allowed to know his existence."
"What about the sinking of the Lelin? You haven't mentioned this most critical point yet."
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Tachibana Masamune took off his military cap, "We arrived at the Sea of Japan successfully after sailing, but an unexpected change occurred. After opening the ice cellar once, we found dark red Blood vessels cover the wall, and the dragon king’s egg pulses like a heart, and the blood vessels spread to form a strange alchemy array.”
