Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine
Chapter 75 The Seven Deadly Sins
"Junior brother, what are you carrying on your back?"
Nono noticed that when leaving the residence, Lu Mingfei took an antique-looking box from behind the door.
The box was very long, almost as tall as a person. To make it easier to move around, Lu Mingfei used the straps to carry it diagonally on his back.
"Found it in another room, senior sister, can you take a look?"
Lu Mingfei placed the box on the ground without any attempt to conceal it.
Chen promised that during this mission, he could choose any item from Bronze City to take with him.
Instead of hiding it secretly, it's better to take it out and use it openly.
The ancient box is exquisitely carved, with a dark golden light flowing along the fine seams, almost blinding one.
Pulling the hidden clasp, the ancient box emitted a clear and melodious sound. The internal mechanism slid out, and seven completely different swords appeared in Nono's eyes. Under the illumination of the headlamp, the dark gold blades revealed various patterns such as ice silk, pine needles, flowing clouds, and fire smoke.
Among these seven swords, some resembled the eight-sided Han sword, some the katana, and there were even heavy weapons like the horse-slaying sword and foreign goods like the Scottish broadsword.
Each sword is engraved with dragon script and ancient Hebrew script.
The dragon script was difficult to decipher, but Nono, who had attended a preparatory course in Kassel, could barely recognize the ancient Hebrew script on it.
"Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust."
Nono translated the name of each weapon.
She tried to pull out the largest sword, but found that the weapon seemed to be stuck in the scabbard and could not be pulled out at all.
"This weapon must have been forged by the King of Bronze and Fire. Perhaps, like the living spirit guarding the gate, it requires a high purity of bloodline to draw."
Lu Mingfei's tone was very confident.
Why?
Nono asked instinctively.
This set of swords looks quite exquisite, but it's not necessarily the work of the Dragon King Norton, is it?
In ancient China, presenting a sword to the monarch was a common way to show loyalty.
During the Qin Dynasty, there was an institution called "Shangfang," one of whose functions was to inspect and register the famous swords presented by officials.
Perhaps Norton will adapt to local customs after coming to China...
"Bronze City was Norton's dragon tomb, which sank more than two thousand years ago during the transition between the Western and Eastern Han dynasties."
Lu Mingfei pointed to the ancient box:
"I pulled them out one by one and found that, apart from the eight-sided Han sword, all the weapon styles inside were created in later generations. Even the horse-slaying knife was a Song dynasty style rather than a Han dynasty style."
Judging from all the traces, we are the first people to set foot here in two thousand years, which means that this set of alchemical weapons has not been replaced.
The only explanation is that the creator of the Seven Deadly Sins possessed the power to foresee the future… I think that apart from the Dragon King, no dragon could do this.”
Although he didn't understand alchemy, Lu Mingfei still had some knowledge of archaeology.
Nono's eyes widened, and after a long while, she said:
"Junior brother, after you enroll, remember to sign up for the course 'Dragon Genealogy'... You're a historical genius."
………………
Outside Norton’s residence was a huge artificial waterway with Ferris wheel-like waterwheels mounted on it. Riding the waterwheels to the top, one would see bronze plates with reliefs of human faces above one’s head.
Lu Mingfei used the least amount of lust to cut his finger, flicked out a drop of blood, and fed it to the living creature.
The bronze plate opened up as if melting, and a huge suction force pulled the two of them up.
In an instant, they were sucked into the water.
Nono was wearing diving equipment, but Lu Mingfei didn't need it. His ability to hold his breath far exceeded that of normal humans. He was exposing his body in the water at this moment in order to sense the direction of the water flow.
Norton's residence is at the heart of Bronze City. Since Bronze City began operating, the water in the city's rivers and lakes has flowed towards the center of Dragon Tomb. By going against the flow of water, one can find the true exit.
After passing through several checkpoints and feeding the spirits a few times, the two entered an open space.
The spotlight shone upwards, and Lu Mingfei saw a bronze dome that resembled the sky. It was a giant tree that sprouted from the center of the bronze dome, transforming into countless branches, leaves, and petals, like a huge fractal diagram.
"Norton's Temple".
Nono lowered her voice.
Behind the temple, a huge snake-faced statue sits against the bronze wall, with ancient dragon script engraved on its arms.
Nono took a few photos with her camera. When she got here, the water on the ground was already very shallow.
To conserve oxygen, Nono took off her diving suit, and the two walked against the current through the maze-like passageways of the Bronze City, finally arriving at a corridor.
The corridor was wide and protruded from the ground. It seemed to be hollow underneath, and the sound of water flowing under the floor could be faintly heard. On both sides stood metal statues of snake-faced people, which looked similar to the huge statues in the temple, but were not as majestic and solemn.
The moment Lu Mingfei stepped into this place, the passageway emitted sounds of mechanical operation and metal friction, and all the statues suddenly came to life.
Lu Mingfei was startled by them. Just as he was about to draw his sword and slash at them, he discovered that the statues were all leaning forward, bowing in greeting.
"The Way to the Temple".
Nono said:
"This road is recorded in the Fragments of the Ice Sea. In the era when the dragon race was at its peak, the ancients, as subjects, had to pass through this sacred road to pay homage to the Dragon King. Norton has an identical one in his palace in Northern Europe."
"The Nortons were quite kind; when they received the human representatives, they even had two rows of puppets bow to them."
Lu Mingfei thought that Norton might be a good dragon.
"Don't have any illusions about the Dragon King. The Bronze and Fire King has the most violent personality of all the Dragon Kings."
Nono poured cold water on him:
"These statues are probably inspired by the high purity of dragon blood in your veins, and they have identified you as a dragon."
Passing through the path to the sanctuary, the corridor ends at a pool of water; this combination of passageway and water feature is a common sight in the Bronze City.
Typically, there is a living spirit guarding the exit at the bottom of the pool, which should be the last obstacle they have to overcome.
"Let's go."
Nono spoke up, and the two put their diving suits back on and jumped into the pool.
Because the Bronze City has already started operating, the filtered water in the pool is very clear, and the underwater conditions can be seen clearly using a diving spotlight.
Below was a huge, thick bronze wall. When Nono searched the water but found no reliefs of human faces representing living beings, her expression changed.
"...The exit has disappeared."
Nono frowned. "No, this isn't right. Even if the Bronze City is constantly moving, the location of the entrance and exit shouldn't change."
At this moment, the two had returned to the shore. The corridor was very quiet; even the sound of water droplets falling into the pool could be heard.
Lu Mingfei didn't speak; he simply looked down at the pool, and under his gaze, the reflection in the pool gradually changed.
