Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Whether someone is good-looking or not is not so important, but being handsome is very important.

After some time, the gauntlets were modified, with their shape inspired by the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlets.

Afterwards, he put on the gauntlets, activated their power, and attempted to construct Nibelungen...

Then, nothing happened.

It seems impossible to build Nibelungen within Nibelungen itself.

Pretending nothing had happened, Fang Rui began testing the power of words...

Chapter 336 Meeting with Lu Mingze

There is a difference between using the power of dragons to wield the power of words and using the power of one's own body to wield the power of words.

The former is smoother; he uses the power of words to command the elements with absolute power, causing them to change according to his wishes.

Dragons use incantations in a way that resembles a fixed program. Dragon chanting is the input of commands, along with the input of corresponding energy, to activate elements and achieve various effects.

Different incantations require different amounts of energy, and some special incantations require corresponding permissions, namely the authority spoken of by dragons.

The pure-blooded dragon race of the third generation is in a mediocre position. Words that are later in the Word sequence cannot be used, and creating Nibelungen is also very difficult.

After experiencing the authority of dragons, Fang Rui had no intention of continuing his research. If the world were a game, then ordinary dragons felt like players in that game, while the Dragon King was like an administrator.

In a more fantastical, fantasy-like way, the authority of dragons is similar to the innate abilities of demons.

Aside from a few dragon-specific abilities, he has already mastered the rest. To obtain the remaining dragon-specific abilities, he would either capture dragons to create magical artifacts, seize their authority, or study the authority to replicate it...

Of the three methods mentioned above, Nidhogg is the best choice, but at the current point in time, it will still be several years before Nidhogg is resurrected, and he has no time to wait for several years in the current world...

The alternative is the White King. The White King is currently located in an island nation and is in a special situation, making it difficult for him to form an effective resistance. Taking power from him would be much simpler.

Seizing the White King's power would almost certainly alert Lu Mingze.

In fact, he has already visited three Nibelungen, communicated with two Dragon Kings, defeated an Odin's double, obtained a Dragon King's bone vial and the top-tier alchemical sword [Bronze Purgatory: The Seven Deadly Sins].

Logically speaking, Lu Mingze's script should have been torn to shreds by him, but Lu Mingze didn't come out to talk to him. I wonder what he's up to.

Without dwelling on the matter, Fang Rui left Bronze City with the bone vial. As for Samson... he was in the process of re-hatching. His dragon form was not convenient for outdoor activities, so he needed to transform into human form.

It takes a long time to develop a dragon-like form, but it is much simpler to transform from a dragon-like form into a human form. The difference in size represents the difference in the strength that can be exerted, as well as the difficulty of development.

Within a week, Samson will complete the transformation and join Fang Rui's faction, taking care of Constantine and other miscellaneous tasks.

………………

After leaving Bronze City, Fang Rui met up with Chu Tianjiao and got some information from him about Kassel College.

He has successfully regained his status and become an S-level executive officer in the Executive Department of Kassel College. His monthly mission budget is one million US dollars, and he can apply for more funding and support from headquarters in special circumstances.

If the mission budget is used up every month, or even more funds are requested, then some useful intelligence, or a believable excuse or evidence, must be submitted.

Fang Rui was quite satisfied with the source of funding; a monthly limit of one million US dollars was sufficient in his view, at least for now.

After all, the main expenses right now are food, clothing, housing, and transportation. How much can a few people spend on food, clothing, housing, and transportation?

If a shortage of money really occurs, we can send some information about dragons to Kassel College in exchange for money. We should make full use of our advantages!

After touring the Qutang Gorge for a week, Samson, along with Jermungandr and Fenrir, arrived at the site and then set off for the island nation.

While waiting for his companions, Fang Rui didn't idle around; instead, he pondered how to upgrade his "Gauntlets" and refine spatial magic treasures...

Samson, Fang Rui, and Fenrir all lack ID cards, so it's impossible for them to apply for passports through conventional channels. Although Chu Tianjiao could obtain several fake identities with the help of Kassel College, Fang Rui suggested that using Word Magic would be more convenient.

Therefore, the group arrived in the island nation by unconventional means.

To be fair, when Fang Rui teleported everyone to the island nation in an instant, the entire Jormungandr dragon was completely stunned.

She gained a new understanding of Fang Rui's abilities, and her attitude changed once again.

In the neighborhood near Tokyo National University, after altering the memories of some people, Fang Rui and his group obtained a building. The building was very ordinary, with three floors, no basement, and a warehouse on the roof. Each floor had an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, which was more than enough to house five people.

Even if Constantine were to incubate it, adding one more person wouldn't make a difference.

Considering certain matters, Jormungandr instructed Fang Rui and the others to call her Xia Mi and Fenrir Xia Er.

The second and third floors are the residential area. Chu Tianjiao and others live on the second floor, Fang Rui lives on the third floor, and Xia Mi lives in the back half of the first floor. The front half is used to run an izakaya (Japanese pub) after discussion among the group, but they will use words of magic to add a little hint.

Ordinary people would subconsciously ignore izakayas, but hybrids with stronger mental abilities than ordinary people can find them. Contacting hybrids can help gather information.

Although Fang Rui didn't value intelligence, he let others collect it if they wanted to! They could exchange it for activity funds from Kassel College.

As for the house renovation, it was done very quickly...

Fang Rui used magic to clean the house and renovate it; the entire process took no more than ten minutes.

Of course, the izakaya itself wasn't decorated; Chu Tianjiao would need to hire someone to do it.

“That’s a bit outrageous!” Xia Mi said.

The power Fang Rui displayed was different from Word Power, something Xia Mi already knew, but she was seeing for the first time how wondrous the power Fang Rui wielded was…

Xia Mi was becoming increasingly curious about Fang Rui's identity, but she had no intention of asking; she needed to learn to control her curiosity.

Xia Mi and Xia Er were watching anime at home, Samson was guarding Constantine's urn, Chu Tianjiao was negotiating with the renovation company employees, and Fang Rui was studying the Yamata no Orochi...

The exact identity of who founded Nibelungen, the Plain of Night, remains a mystery, but it is certain that it is related to the White King.

Within the Night Eater Plains, there are countless Dead Servants and the body of the first Yamata no Orochi. Fang Rui carried another Yamata no Orochi into the Night Eater Plains, and the two resonated with each other, but before it could cause any problems, Fang Rui had already dealt with it...

The White King's soul was incomplete. Under the punishment of the Black King Nidhogg, it was extremely fortunate that he was able to retain even a small fragment of his soul. He needed to recuperate and rebuild his soul to fully recover.

As for the dragon's body...

With sufficient offerings, it can be conceived quickly, and even if it is incomplete, it can be repaired through secondary incubation.

Whether it was the first Yamata no Orochi or another Yamata no Orochi, its body was incomplete.

"The soul is incomplete, the dragon body is incomplete, but hopefully the authority will not be incomplete."

Fang Rui examined the two Yamata no Orochi, pondering what kind of magical artifact he should forge.

Since he is the White King, it would be good to forge a pair of White Dragon Emperor's wings of light, which could form a pair with Black Dragon Emperor's gauntlets... It seems that the name Black Dragon Emperor's gauntlets is more appropriate.

With that said, Fang Rui began collecting materials in preparation for refining the White Dragon Emperor's wings.

At the same time, Lu Mingze's phantom appeared in the Night Eater Plain, openly approaching Fang Rui and watching him dismantle the Yamata no Orochi.

"That's a clean and efficient technique. Do you often dismantle dragons?"

When Lu Mingze asked this question, he showed no empathy for the dismantling of dragons, and his tone was tinged with a sense of relief.

"You arrived a little later than I expected."

Fang Rui didn't stop dismantling the Yamata no Orochi, talking as he worked.

"You know me? That's surprising."

Lu Mingze looked surprised, his eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Has my fame spread beyond the world?"

He spoke of extraordinary things in a remarkably relaxed tone.

As a very ancient being, and whose status and strength are among the top in the current world, Lu Mingze could easily detect Fang Rui's abnormality, namely his incompatibility with the world.

"Your reputation has indeed spread beyond the world."

To sustain the life of the Yamata no Orochi, the White King's bones and blood were combined with some of the Yamata no Orochi's special body parts, and then the White Dragon Emperor's wings of light were forged.

Lu Mingze did not interfere and watched quietly from the side. The weapon-refining technique Fang Rui used was different from alchemy. He did not examine it carefully, but was thinking about Fang Rui's answer.

Having a good reputation can be a good thing or a bad thing.

It can deter those who lack strength, but it can also arouse greed in some.

"Outside the world..."

Before Lu Mingze could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted, "There is a threat, after all, raiders exist everywhere."

"But crossing the world is not an easy thing. You can be prepared, but there is no need to worry too much."

"Is that so?" Lu Mingze's tone was unpredictable, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"And what about you? What is your purpose in coming here?"

"Gather materials, find talent, and learn alchemy!" Fang Rui stated his goals, then casually extended an invitation, "Would you like to travel to another world?"

"I am somewhat interested in other worlds, but only if my brother is willing to go to another world."

Lu Mingze has little attachment to the current world. The only people he cares about are his brother Lu Mingfei and the team he personally built, since he personally trained them and has some affection for them.

"You can ask him sometime; I'm sure your brother would be interested."

Lu Mingfei is currently a high school student, somewhat immature and eccentric. If he could go to another world, he might agree to it.

“You’re right.” Based on Lu Mingze’s observations over the past few years, Lu Mingfei might indeed agree.

Lu Mingze thought to himself that perhaps he could use this opportunity to make a deal with his brother.

The problem was that he didn't have the means to travel between worlds. If he went to another world, he would be at the mercy of others. So he put aside his thoughts for the time being and changed the subject.

"Want to cooperate?"

"You really trust me that much? You think I'm not lying to you?"

Fang Rui's tone was a bit strange. Although some people are straightforward and easily trust others, Lu Mingze was definitely not that kind of person.

In response, Lu Mingze said, "I feel more at ease when you're operating under my nose."

“Is that so…? That’s fine.” Fang Rui had no objections. He hadn’t planned to cause any trouble, and cooperating with Lu Mingze was not a problem for him.

Since Lu Mingze wants to monitor him, let Lu Mingze monitor him!

Anyway, he'll be staying home doing research for the next while, and having an old relic to chat with is pretty good.

Lu Mingze is strong enough and knows a lot of knowledge, so we can provide him with assistance.

"Do you need me to create a puppet? It can contain your illusion, allowing you to maintain the illusion without any cost, and it's powerful enough to hold the power of a first-generation species."

There was still a lot of the Yamata no Orochi's body left, more than enough to create a special puppet.

"Sometimes, having a physical entity makes things a little easier, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze fell into deep thought. A body that could move freely was very tempting to Lu Mingze, and there were indeed some things that he would be better off handling personally.
