Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 362 Jormungandr, you have fallen.

Old Tang had found his brother and wanted to brag to everyone for a while, but his clothes were a bit odd, and anyone with a quick mind would overthink it. After taking a group photo, he dragged Constantine to change his clothes and take a shower.

Xia Mi had been anxiously trying to find out what was happening in Bronze City, but now that the main character had returned, she was no longer in a hurry and sat in the living room with a serene expression.

Fingel sat there restlessly, as if he had a needle stuck in his buttocks and was being stabbed in the hemorrhoids. His face, unusually, did not show the eagerness of "I want to make a big fuss". Instead, you could see the strong will to survive in his eyes.

Ryoma Kaoru was fine; she was naturally very happy that her boyfriend had found his long-lost younger brother, especially since this younger brother looked countless times more obedient than that idiot Soichiro, and was obviously a very easy child to take care of.

Although he seemed a little absent-minded and reluctant when he greeted her just now, Ryoma Kaoru guessed that this was just because they didn't know each other well enough yet. She believed that once they spent more time together, Kang-kun would definitely accept her!

Chu Zihang sat next to Xia Mi, watching TV with her, but his eyes kept drifting to her pretty face, which seemed serious but was actually lost in thought, as if trying to guess what she was thinking.

In the entire hall, only Erii was watching TV intently. On the TV screen, Tiga stood with his hands on his hips, puffing out his chest muscles, trying to withstand the beam of light from the deep-sea monster Reiros. As a result, he was electrocuted and twitched wildly. Erii couldn't help but chuckle and revealed a faint smile.

After Lu Mingfei's guidance, she no longer sees herself as a little monster. She is simply herself, her brother's good sister, her good gaming partner, Sakura no Erii.

Just as Ultraman Tiga Daigo was about to unleash his full power by rubbing his hands together, preparing to annihilate the deep-sea monster Reilos, Lu Mingfei, who had left earlier, walked downstairs with a refreshed expression: "Hey, why are you so serious about watching Ultraman?"

He was just joking; he knew perfectly well why everyone present was silent.

"Junior brother, you're finally done!" Fingel is indeed Fingel; with just a simple sentence, he can change the meaning of the simple act of taking a bath.

Lu Mingfei pointed at him and said, "It's 'finished washing,' not 'finished doing it.' Watch your words. With this kind of language ability, you want to be the king of paparazzi?"

Fingel waved his hand, completely unconcerned about the small mistake, and patted the stool next to him, signaling him to sit down quickly and explain to everyone what had just happened.

However, Lu Mingfei did not respond to his attentiveness. Instead, he plopped down next to Erii, leaned back on the soft sofa, and whetted everyone's appetite before recounting what had just happened.

On the way back, they had already exchanged their statements... no, they had already talked to each other, so he wasn't worried that Old Tang and Constantine would be exposed.

He only said that he had a fight with Norton, and before he could even examine the body, he was interrupted by the unlucky robbers. The Dragon King's body was rescued by the Dragon Servant and dragged back to Bronze City. Now, the Kassel College is studying how to collect Norton's body.

As for Constantine, he received the same script as Chen Wenwen and the others. Because of his local identity, he was led by bounty hunters with guns pointed at him. In the end, he was rescued by Lao Tang and Lu Mingfei, who happened to pass by and noticed something was wrong.

This sounds a bit far-fetched, but since something as outrageous as a half-blooded bounty hunter hijacking a ship to blackmail Lu Mingfei has already happened, no one will make a big deal out of this little coincidence.

Of all the people present, only Erii was foolish enough to believe it; she believed whatever Lu Mingfei said.

Ryoma Kaoru didn't believe that the process of slaying the Dragon King was so simple, after all, her man's clothes were all torn.

Xia Mi didn't believe it because the two dragon kings had just been waving around in front of her, showing no signs of being on their deathbeds or about to die at any moment.

The same applies to Fingel and Chu Zihang.

However, they also knew that this was the official explanation. Regardless of Lu Mingfei's intentions in taking in the two homeless dragon kings, there was always a reason behind it.

Since the Dragon King wasn't as tyrannical as the legends suggested, they could try to accept it. After all, Lu Mingfei was a very powerful figure with a strong backing. Even if these two suddenly became aggressive and turned their backs on them, Lu Mingfei could teach them a lesson.

To take it even more extreme, they might have just been punched by Lu Mingfei, which is why they acted so harmless.

This can be seen from the extremely wary look Constantine gave Lu Mingfei; he was most likely really beaten up, and quite badly at that.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Old Tang and Constantine also changed their clothes and came down. The two brothers were both on the thin side and not much different in height, so their clothes were interchangeable.

Constantine had originally planned to talk to his brother about Jormungandr while taking a shower, but just as he was about to go into the bathroom with his brother, Old Tang pushed him out, saying that he was old enough to learn to shower alone.

Standing outside the bathroom, Constantine looked bewildered, listening to the whirring shower and off-key singing inside, feeling completely lost.

Fortunately, after the time it takes to sing a song, Lao Tang finished the fight, came out drying his wet hair, and prepared a change of clothes and toiletries for him.

Taking advantage of this brief lull, Constantine casually released a Word of Power that could block out sound, asking Old Tang if he knew what Jormungandr was up to.

Old Tang, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered. He knew Jormungandr, the World Serpent from Norse mythology and the sister of the King of the Earth and Mountains, but he didn't remember ever having any interaction with her.

Upon hearing this, Constantine thought to himself that his brother had indeed fallen for Odin's scheme and had lost his mind. Not only had his personality changed drastically, but he hadn't even noticed that such a large dragon king was right next to him.

Just as she was about to expose Xia Mi's true identity, she added another mark to her mind about Odin, but then Lu Mingfei came over after he finished showering, so she had to interrupt the conversation, pick up her clothes, and go inside to take a shower.

When he came out again, Lao Tang excitedly told him that Lu Mingfei was planning a welcome party to celebrate their reunion and to help him quickly integrate into the group. He asked him if he was touched.

What else could Constantine say? If this wasn't his own brother, he would have suspected that these words meant he was asking if Constantine dared to make any more trouble.

Instead of the welcome party Lu Mingfei had promised, they heard the story of Lu Mingfei's three battles with Constantine.

Although he said the King of Bronze and Fire, Constantine would replace the words himself.

The two sat down, and Old Tang excitedly joined the discussion, recounting the battle against the Dragon King with Lu Mingfei. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that he had really fought Norton to the death.

Even Constantine suspected that his brother might have suffered a split personality, otherwise how could he lie without batting an eye and say that he had beaten himself up?

Odin, you treacherous villain, I swear I will kill you!
After they finished rambling, a loudspeaker blared from the courtyard outside. Lu Mingfei got up and signaled to everyone that dinner was ready and to gather in the courtyard.

He wasn't joking; he really did have a meal ordered from the hotel and delivered over, and even prepared a large cake in advance.

Although he wasn't familiar with Constantine in this world and they started fighting as soon as they met, they were good friends in their past life, the kind of friends who could even trust each other to sleep with their backs on each other.

Even before he set off for the mountain city, he had a premonition that the trip would go very smoothly and had made all the necessary arrangements in advance.

Now, another thing has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Two long tables were put together in the courtyard and filled with exquisite dishes that looked and smelled delicious. The hotel staff even helped decorate the venue, with balloons, ribbons, and even banners!

"Let us celebrate our reunion today, and spend the rest of our lives together in the future!"

Congratulations to Mr. Tang and Mr. Kang on their reunion!

Constantine watched as these humans bustled about, preparing to celebrate for him and his brother. In that instant, it felt as if he had been transported back two thousand years, when he and his brother were doing the same thing, commanding countless human servants.

Back then, humans feared their authority, bowing and scraping with obsequious smiles for fear of displeasing them. But now, these people were filled with joy, treating them like long-lost brothers finally reunited, offering their sincere blessings. Look at the brother; he was holding hands with the mixed-race woman, his eyes red-rimmed, clearly deeply moved by the man surnamed Lu.

Looking at Jormungandr again, even this usually cunning fellow had a hint of emotion in his eyes. Standing shoulder to shoulder with that half-blood man, they actually looked quite well-matched...

Perhaps times have truly changed; the glory days of the dragon race are a thing of the past, and it's time to embrace a new era where humans are in charge.

Fortunately, he used to be a shut-in and wouldn't go out aimlessly when he had nothing to do.

My brother said that we live in an information society where we can know what's happening in the world without leaving home, which might suit him quite well.

While the celebration was taking place here, Professor Mans was reporting the situation to the principal on the other side.

"You mean, Lu Mingfei used the Philosopher's Stone to kill the Dragon King Norton, but the body was taken back to Bronze City by the Dragon Servant?" Angers stood on the terrace of the Awakening Temple of Genji Heavy Industries, the evening breeze blowing through his white hair, but his gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, landing on the mountain city in the middle of the river.

Professor Mans nodded: "Yes, the situation is a bit tricky now. His willingness to cooperate is not strong, otherwise we could have forcibly opened the Bronze City tonight and seized the Dragon King's remains."

It is well known that dragons are very difficult to kill, especially dragon kings. They can transfer their spirits into a pre-prepared cocoon the moment they are killed, waiting for the day they are resurrected and return.

Although Lu Mingfei confidently stated that Norton had a knife made of the Philosopher's Stone stuck in his heart and would definitely die, Norton was, after all, the supreme ruler of the alchemical field, and no one knew if he had a way to forcibly prolong his life.

If it successfully cocoons, wouldn't all our efforts have been in vain?
It is true that the process of the Dragon King's resurrection is very long, but the lifespan of their hybrid race is not long either. If possible, they would rather kill the Dragon King completely in their lifetime, so that even if they die, they will be recorded in history.

He was unaware of the details and extremely worried, but Angers knew more and was well aware that Lu Mingfei was not telling the truth at all.

As long as the bounty hunter with the bushy eyebrows beside him is still alive, the King of Bronze and Fire cannot possibly be dead. This is all a fabrication. Even if he really enters Bronze City, he might only take away some insignificant local specialties, and then Bronze City would inexplicably start operating or even enter self-destruct mode.

“There’s no point in saying more now. Just continue with the plan. I’ll talk to Lu Mingfei.” Angers reassured the somewhat agitated Mans, though he himself wasn’t entirely confident.

He regarded Lu Mingfei as an unparalleled divine weapon to slay dragons, and as it turned out, his judgment was correct. However, the problem was that the divine weapon was now too sharp and powerful, completely out of his control.

If Lu Mingfei didn't know before, he definitely knows Lao Tang's true identity now.

In his original plan, Ronald Don would revert to Norton, and his bounty hunter persona would be completely erased from the Dragon King's memories of his millennia of existence. Lu Mingfei would also be enraged by the death of his friend and slay the dragon's head.

It's just a mystery what method Lu Mingfei used, but Ronald Tang, a personality that had only been formed for a few decades, didn't disappear and even successfully reunited with the king who stayed behind in Bronze City.

What secrets lie hidden here remains unknown to Angers. All he knows is that his grand vision of slaying all dragons in the world is still a distant dream, or perhaps simply impossible.

"Well, the Chen family has just delivered the 'key'." Professor Mans adjusted his glasses, looked at the still-flowing river outside, and sighed softly.

"At least there are still alternative options."

Upon hearing this, Angers' eyes flashed with a strange light.

The Chen family...

He turned his head and glanced at the old man on the terrace of Xingshen Temple, who was drinking and admiring the moon and was already a little drunk. Angre gave him a few words of encouragement and then hung up the phone.

"You're already this old, why are you still so busy?" Uesugi Kotsuki, the former Shadow Emperor of the Snake Clan, looked at him with a glass of wine in hand. "You were doing everything yourself back in the last century, and now it's the 21st century and you still have to worry about everything. Your secret party hasn't improved at all."

As he spoke, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, a hint of smugness in his eyes. He was clearly implying that he had two fine sons who could inherit the family business and do even better than him, while Angers, at his advanced age, still had to worry about everything.

Angers was not annoyed. The composition of the Peruvian party was too complex, unlike the simple structure in Japan. Compared to when he first came to power in the last century, his influence was now vastly different. However, there were still many people who were trying to trip him up.

He sat down, picked up a glass of wine, and raised it in a gesture of respect towards the sea: "I just received news that Lu Mingfei killed the King of Bronze and Fire without causing any casualties."

"Pfft...cough cough, what did you say?!" Uesugi Kotsushi choked on a mouthful of wine, then spat it out, coughing as he questioned:
"Is the Dragon King a rat in the street? You can just run into him whenever you want, and kill him whenever you want?"

Angers merely glanced at him dismissively, smiling without saying a word.

Uesugi felt looked down upon and snorted, "So what if I killed him? He's my daughter's boyfriend, not one of your secret gang members. What's with the attitude?"

He knew that Angers saw Lu Mingfei as his future successor, and he also knew that this was pure fantasy, so he said it on purpose to spite him.

Angers understood this as well, and didn't hold it against him. He took a sip of his drink, his tone tinged with unspoken emotion:

"Tomorrow will always be fresh and spotless."

“Yesterday felt like a heavy piece of luggage, every single item of which I know well and carry with me at all times.” Uesugi Kotsuki smiled and raised his glass to him.

"Now it's the era of the young people. We old guys can sit back and rest and watch them show their skills."

Angers clinked glasses with him in the air, drank it all in one gulp, and then cursed, "You old codger, you've been resting for so many years, how dare you say such a thing?"

Uesugi remained silent, simply keeping his head down and drinking.

……

Our attention returned to the mountain city; the welcome party had ended, and everyone was tipsy.

Lu Mingfei took Erii, who had secretly drunk a lot of plum wine, back to her house, while Chu Zihang carried the completely drunk Fingel away. Ryoma Kaoru was also drunk and was fast asleep on the table.

Only Old Tang, Constantine, and Xia Mi remained conscious in the courtyard.

Although the Dragon King's body makes it difficult for him to get drunk, he couldn't resist Old Tang's mix of baijiu, red wine, and beer, and his fast drinking. At this moment, he too was feeling the effects of the alcohol and his consciousness was becoming a little hazy.

Suddenly, he noticed his younger brother becoming serious, staring intently at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi also abandoned her innocent and cute girl-next-door demeanor, and her temperament suddenly became more like a queen.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, he shook his head, about to speak, when his younger brother said calmly:

"Jormungandr, you have fallen."
