Dragon Clan starts from digging the corner of Kassel

Chapter 392 Birth (Part 4)

The dragon race uses bloodline as the basis for the inheritance of everything.

Those chosen by the Black King are unique beings. Even if they are briefly killed, they will obey the bloodline and reappear in a new individual.

—This is the 'proxy'.

Today, those who inherit the Black King's bloodline are not only the scattered dragons that are scattered throughout the Nine Realms... but also countless hybrids that have spread across this land!
Regardless of the thickness of their bloodline, all hybrids also carry the bloodline inherited from the Black King.

Therefore, as long as there are still beings with dragon blood in the world, the Black King's agent will never truly die.

The Black King is also destined to appear on the appointed day...

—Returning to the world.

...

...

"Why did those people know about Zero's existence, and why were they able to find his location so accurately... Even I don't know these things."

Lu Mingze shrugged and smiled cutely: "Now, my story is over."

Her delicate, youthful face was undeniably lovely, yet so out of place.

His smile, soaked in the rain, made Lu Mingfei feel that... behind the smile of his nameless brother, there was a sadness that seemed about to bring him to tears.

The latter half of the story omits too much... content that is "not important" at this point.

Lu Mingfei simply couldn't bring himself to say anything comforting.

He was not a witness to that story.

—The existence of "Zero" creates a stark divide between him and others.

On the other side, Xi Xiao, who was quietly listening, also had some guesses about how the story would unfold.

With his hands clapping idly, Lu Mingze grinned and said, "Of course, the Secret Party has been fighting against various dragon blood hybrids for many years and has witnessed the consequences of many people being contaminated by dragon blood, so naturally they are quite vigilant."

"After the battle with the high-risk dragon bloodline in their eyes, everyone who came into contact with the blood of 'Zero' was placed under strict control."

"Naturally, this included Giovanni, who was already pregnant at the time."

The students at Faos Academy are all genuine "special cases," and Lu Mingfei and the others are well aware of certain facts—compared to them, ordinary mixed-race individuals face many "troubles."

In the course on dinosaur genetics taught by the college professors, some "little-known facts" about hybrid species were mentioned, including the taboos regarding offspring born from hybrid species.

Generally speaking, the bloodline concentration of a hybrid cannot exceed 'half'; this clear dividing line is called the 'critical bloodline limit'. Once this limit is crossed, the hybrid's spirit will be controlled by its own dragon bloodline, falling from 'human' to a side closer to 'dragon'...

Such people usually end up as "Deadpools" who are completely consumed by dragon blood.

When hybrids with high-level dragon bloodlines intermarry, their offspring are very likely to be more outstanding than their parents, thus creating a situation where they are "born to surpass the 'critical bloodline limit'".

In this situation, what is born from the mother's womb is less a human baby and more a wild beast filled with dragon blood instincts.

A fetus completely influenced by dragon blood might even tear apart the mother's body during pregnancy, directly killing its mother whom it has never met!
Being contaminated by dragon blood is a different matter. Dragons are an extremely hierarchical race, and the concept of 'class' is inherently rooted in their bloodline.

Within the Dragon Clan society, those in power are accustomed to "bleeding" their subjects, that is, using their own superior bloodline to erode the other party's bloodline, thereby forming a "blood pact" and achieving a kind of absolute control that is almost impossible to resist.

Hybrids have absolutely no way to resist this erosion from a higher bloodline.

Once they come into contact with higher-level dragon blood, they are likely to be "forced to break the 'critical blood limit'".

Many dragon slayers in history did not die in battle with dragons, but were unable to resist the corruption of dragon blood and fell into the abyss after the battle... or were transformed into monsters, or were killed by their companions before they could become monsters.

Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini are facing this terrible situation of debuff upon debuff.

Both are honorary alumni of Kassel College, and both are elite hybrids with bloodline levels of at least A-grade. Their offspring would almost certainly be an S-grade bloodline holder. However, before the child is even born, it faces the potential contamination of dragon blood. With current human technology, it's difficult to determine what kind of monster will ultimately be born…

Just listening to Lu Mingze's calm recounting of the situation Lu Lincheng and his wife faced, Lu Mingfei could feel an indescribable emotion surging within him:

"My mom and dad...they must have made a lot of sacrifices to finally bring me into this world, right?"

Lu Mingze remained noncommittal, his lips twitching slightly as he narrowed his golden eyes: "That's natural... The Secret Party felt they shouldn't take such a huge risk to let a potential monster be born into this world, but your parents resolutely stopped them."

"It's so nice...the love of parents..."

"It sounds like a heartwarming story, doesn't it?"

He smiled, like a wisp of smoke.

"Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini made the right bet, it's almost like a stroke of luck... Under the surveillance of the Secret Party, they gave birth to a healthy baby who showed no signs of dragon blood contamination."

"They gave the child a name."

“—Lu Mingfei.” He read softly, as if reciting a biblical title: “Brother…this is your ‘beginning.’”

"The Secret Party felt they had achieved a flawless victory. They had killed the potentially resurrected, high-risk 'first generation' species, and the newlywed Lu Lincheng and his wife had gained a child with a promising future..."

"But how could things be so simple?"

"Zero is dead, but the 'Agent' is immortal! The child named 'Lu Mingfei' is the newly born 'Agent'... No one knows this!"

“Brother, you are just like the most ordinary child, nurtured and raised in your mother’s arms.”

"You are naive and well-behaved, rarely cry or make a fuss, and your grades in class are mediocre. You have not shown any extraordinary talent."

"The Secret Service was astonished to find that they detected no outstanding dragon blood characteristics in you. A child who, in their eyes, should possess S-class bloodline, might actually be an ordinary person..."

"It's so bizarre, but they have no choice but to accept it."

"It simply means keeping you in the world of ordinary people, letting you live a mundane life."

　There's one more chapter after this one, but I don't know if I can finish writing it during the day. Anyway, I'll finally be able to finish this part of the plot that involves underlying logic.
