I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 276 Constantine

In the original timeline, Constantine awakens on an autopsy table at Kassel College. A major trigger for his awakening is the appearance of his brother, Donald.

And now...

"Brother" didn't come.

It was her "younger sister" Xia Mi who arrived.

At this moment, Xia Mi raised her left hand, sliced ​​open her wrist with her fingertips, and then placed the wound above the brass jar. As the dark red Dragon King's blood dripped from her body onto the surface of the jar, it began to make crackling and popping sounds. Unknown alchemical formulas appeared on the surface of the jar and then melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This process lasted for approximately several tens of seconds.

at last.

As dark green mist shot out, the hard copper pot crumbled, followed by an indescribable low growl that exploded in the air, sending a chill down one's spine.

"...That should be fine."

Xia Mi stopped injecting blood, urging her muscles to heal the wound while her gaze remained fixed ahead: "Wake up... Constantine!"

Amidst the broken copper pot fragments and mist.

The figure of a pale, naked boy who looked to be only ten years old slowly emerged. He opened his eyes as if waking from a long dream and looked around with his dark eyes.

If you only look at his face, he's actually quite handsome. He bears a slight resemblance to Kimimaro from the Naruto world.

But there was no focus in those eyes; instead, they looked somewhat dazed and silly, revealing a clear sense of foolishness.

"Welcome back, Constantine."

Xia Mi spoke up.

"..."

Constantine didn't say anything, just looked around, still with that blank expression.

"……Um?"

Xia Mi, somewhat puzzled, stretched out her right hand and waved it in front of the guy. This gesture drew Constantine's attention, but his expression remained unchanged. This reaction made Xia Mi's heart sink slightly, and she turned to glance at Uchiha Hikaru: "Hikaru-neechan, what's wrong with him...?"

"Hmm, it should be similar to your and Fenrir's situation."

As Uchiha Hikaru spoke, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, cast a "Tsukuyomi Mark" on Constantine, and then tried to probe his memories with "Eight Thousand Spears".

Just as she had guessed.

Constantine was also an unlucky fellow. For the past two thousand years, he had been experiencing a cycle of "death," "awakening," and "death again" similar to that of Xia Mi and her brother, resulting in significant damage to his power and memories. Especially this time, he was awakened prematurely before he had fully hatched, and the memories in his mind were completely incomplete, leaving him completely ignorant of even the most basic concepts.

but……

He still remembered his older brother, and soon after waking up, he started talking about him.

"Brother... I need to find my brother..."

"Shut up, sit still! Aren't you afraid your brother will eat you up?"

Xia Mi was used to being the older sister.

Although he hadn't expected Constantine to be in this state at first, after a brief observation, he roughly figured something out. So, adopting the same authoritative attitude he usually showed Fenrir, he first haphazardly draped a garment over Constantine to cover his body, then pulled him down to sit and began questioning him about the knowledge in his mind.

Constantine can talk now. But apart from calling his brother "brother," what he says is all fragmented and lacks any logic or coherence.

Communication was quite difficult.

"...No, you've even forgotten the concept of a 'Dragon King'?"

"Then you probably don't know who I am, right?"

Xia Mi pointed to her nose and frowned as she looked at Constantine.

During the process of the two little dragons trying to communicate.

Esdeath frowned slightly, glanced at Uchiha Hikaru from behind, and then sent a message through the private chat channel.

[Ice Queen: Is this the Dragon King you were talking about? His aura when he broke free of his seal was alright, but this silly look... he looks just like a little emperor!]

【nameless:?】

Uchiha Hikaru was taken aback.

She had met the young emperor of the Crimson Empire; he was indeed a bit dim-witted, otherwise Minister Honest wouldn't have been able to manipulate him for so long. However, to compare him to Constantine, who can't even speak properly now... well, that's a stretch.

Judging from Constantine's current state, he probably has trouble even with basic self-care abilities like eating and dressing...

As for combat strength and combat intelligence...

Being able to suffer heavy damage under the siege of all the students of Kassel College, and becoming the first of all the Dragon Kings to be killed, naturally means that he couldn't be that great.

and so……

[Nameless: Well, I'll have Xia Mi fight you later, just to practice. Forget about this guy; we can't bully mentally challenged people.]

"...Hikari-neechan, I've finished asking my questions."

Xia Mi seemed to have finally made a judgment, and stood up to look at Uchiha Hikaru: "This guy's common sense is only slightly more than Fenrir's. Not to mention me, he can't even remember things related to Norton or dragons themselves. It's hard for him to provide us with any useful clues... But he can understand what others are saying, and he does have a little bit of a lingering impression of me."

"yes……"

Uchiha Hikaru remained noncommittal.

Xia Mi then pulled Constantine aside and introduced him: "This is Sister Guang, she's much more senior than us. Come on, greet her with me."

"...Hikari-neechan."

Constantine readily complied, bowing his head obediently in greeting.

……

Next.

Uchiha Hikaru and Constantine exchanged a few words, and then Hikaru took the opportunity to draw several vials of blood from him.

Hmm... it feels a bit like fooling a silly child. But given the dragons' extraordinary regenerative and blood-regenerating abilities, this level of blood loss should be fully recovered in less than an hour, so it's not a big deal.

Although it hasn't been tested with instruments yet, you can tell from its appearance that Constantine's blood sample is different from Xia Mi's. It was much hotter when you touched it, and you could feel the heat even through the glass. When you looked closely, it felt like it was constantly boiling, as if it would explode at any moment.

To be on the safe side.

Uchiha Hikaru tagged Bulma in the group chat and then uploaded the blood sample directly to her, asking her to give it to Dr. Brief for testing to see if a more robust container was needed to hold the blood sample.

Bulma: I understand. I'll tell Daddy as soon as possible.
