The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 4: Eastern Version of the Nibelungen Plan

The mixed-race families that appear in the Type-Moon series, such as the Tono family, are not only a large chaebol in modern society, but also the patriarch of subordinate branches such as Kugamine, Zama, and Tozaki. Their influence is enormous.

The mixed race people who inherited non-human blood often awakened powerful strength and unique abilities. The higher the bloodline, the stronger the strength. Of course, it is not ruled out that due to the dilute bloodline, they are no different from ordinary people.

However, mixed blood is only part of Type-Moon's worldview.

What Emiya didn't know was that compared to the Type-Moon world where gods, demons, and monsters were everywhere, the dragon world was much simpler. No matter what supernatural powers, witchcraft, or divine authority, they were essentially the abilities of the dragons, and all human supernatural families or forces were made up of mixed-bloods, with basically no exceptions.

"Wow, they are just like mutants from American comics! And it's hereditary in the whole family!" Old Tang was full of envy after hearing the popular science. "Brother, do you think I have such good luck in every mission? Will I also awaken some abilities?"

Shirou Emiya poured cold water on him unhappily, "Strong power often comes with risks. While mixed blood gives people great strength, it also makes human moral values fragile. When the blood of other people is thicker than human blood, a 'reversal impulse' will appear."

"In short, from a human to a 'ghost'!"

Wazhu seemed to be interested in Emiya. "Interesting. Do you Japanese hybrids call those out-of-control guys 'ghosts'?"

Shirou Emiya was surprised. Isn't it on the side of Lord Wa?
...That's right, the name "Nuwa" is very Shenzhou style, not to mention that ghost species are a unique product of Japanese legends.

According to the setting of fgo, the demon king Shuten-douji of Mount Ooe also has another divinity - "the divine spirit Ibuki-douji". Ibuki-douji is the son of Yamata-no-Orochi, which means that the source of the demon's bloodline is most likely Yamata-no-Orochi.

As for the mixed blood of Shenzhou, it is impossible for them to have the blood of a demon or Yamata no Orochi. The most likely possibility is...

"The Chinese nation is blessed with dragons, and this has remained unchanged for thousands of years," the proud tone of Wa's speech could be tasted even through the screen, "The bloodline of the true dragon is the orthodoxy of the Chinese nation."

This is so reasonable!
Shenzhou does have a profound dragon culture heritage, and the dragon is also a national totem. Emperors in feudal society all called themselves "the true dragon emperor," so it would be unreasonable if there wasn't some dragon blood in them!

Shirou Emiya complained silently, could this be the mixed-blood worldview that will be expanded in the future Tsukihime 2?

"Let's get back to the topic, kid. Which mixed-blood family in Japan are you from?" Lord Wa's tone became more mature.

"...I am actually Chinese. Not a mixed race, just a half-baked magician."

"Oh, your ancestors lived there?"

Emiya Shirou said, "Yes, yes, yes. Yes, ancestors (referring to the previous life). Nothing wrong with that."

"Magician? One who performs Western magic tricks?"

Shirou Emiya frowned. He remembered that Type-Moon's Shenzhou also used magic, but the system was completely different from Western magic, involving thought disks and so on, and there were few specific settings.

As for the Western magic system, he could explain it. First, a magic circuit must be created in the body - a simulated nerve throughout the body that is used to draw magic power from the external planetary source (Mana) and convert the body's own small source of vitality (Od) into magic power to provide energy for launching various spells.

As for techniques, Emiya only knows the basic ones like strengthening and projection. Those non-basic ones can basically only be passed down from generation to generation in Type-Moon.

The Wa Lord was very interested. "Hahaha, very interesting! This 'circuit' theory is quite similar to 'meridians'!"

Wei Gong immediately clapped his hands in praise of this, thinking that this made sense, as the Taoist inner alchemy theory also included cultivation methods such as "refining essence into qi".

The "essence" here refers to the essence of heaven and earth and the essence of the human body, which is the same thing as the planetary energy/big source and human vitality/small source mentioned in Western magic!
The two began a heated discussion about the "cultivation system", and the chat interface instantly became more like a cultivation system. Only Old Tang, who was just learning Chinese, was left staring at the message.

What is "Qi Xing Tu In"? What is "Qi and Shen He" and "Xing Ming Dual Cultivation"? What the hell are you guys talking about? I even used Google Translate, how come I still don't understand?

Xiangyang, China, a Tang Dynasty city.

This is a local palace with ancient Tang Dynasty style, flying eaves and pointed corners. The wooden structure has thick pillars and interlaced beams. Colorful lanterns are hung on the four corners, reflecting the intricate and exquisite patterns of auspicious dragons and phoenixes, water cloud patterns, etc. on the walls. Under the fluorescent lights, many people dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes are waiting in two rows, like majestic and dignified generals in front of the palace.

In the center of the hall, a beautiful girl sat in front of the computer.

The little girl was wearing a gorgeous Tang-style skirt with a very long train. Her long hair was loose. She had no makeup on her face, her cheeks were small and round, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her skin seemed translucent.

Not far away, a thin young man, also wearing Tang Dynasty clothing and with a calm expression, stood quietly.

"Zhou Yuxuan, do you think this kid's theory about the 'loop' is true or false?"

The little girl spoke first, her voice clear.

Zhou Yuxuan, a thin young man, spoke politely.

"Reporting to Lord Wa, this person's remarks are similar to the theory of 'qigong'. In the early years, Ji Kang's 'Theory of Health Preservation' said 'Breathing in and out, taking in the air to nourish the body', but after the Tang and Song dynasties, the theory of taking in the air has been proven to be false. The inner alchemy method is fine for cultivating sentiment, but it is probably a delusion to improve cultivation."

"Instead of pondering the inner alchemy, it is better to study the mantras, magic, refining tools and drawing talismans."

The so-called "True Word Technique" in Shenzhou is called "Word Spirit" in the West. It is a special ability possessed by the hybrids with dragon blood in this world. The Word Spirit is released through dragon script and dragon language, driving elements, and is a heritage from the dragon realm.

Another inheritance of the dragon clan is called alchemy, which has led to the refinement of the philosopher's stone and alchemical weapons in the Western mixed-race world. It has also led to the refinement of pills and weapons in Shenzhou.

As for the cultivation of magic or Qi mentioned by Shirou Emiya, it does not exist in this world. Half-bloods with dragon blood generally tend to use the advantages brought by their bloodline, or study how to refine and improve their bloodline.

There is no such thing as becoming stronger through cultivation. Instead of relying on this, it is better to rely on bathing in dragon blood like Siegfried, or using dragon fetal blood, evolutionary potions, etc. to improve bloodline. Even the elixir of life can only be refined with dragon blood.

"Oh, you are determined to stand on the side of the 'Outer Alchemy School'." Wazhu chuckled, "If I were to ask you, what if... it's true?"

Zhou Yuxuan was surprised, "Lord Wa thinks it's true?"

"——Do you know Western alchemy? Recently, there are rumors among young people who studied in the Western city of Kassel that the Kassel Academy is proposing a Nibelungen Project, which can implant an alchemical matrix similar to the Dao pattern throughout the human body to stably improve bloodline." Lord Wa mentioned some rumors with a flickering look in his eyes.

Zhou Yuxuan seemed to remember something. "The children of the Chen family seemed to have said something similar. Is this magic circuit the alchemical matrix? Is it true?"

When she heard the word "Chen family", a hint of disgust emerged in Lord Wa's eyes.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know it after trying it."
