Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Dark clouds hung low, and the sea rose and fell restlessly.

The black ship cut through the black seawater, leaving a white trail.

The branch disguised the Moniach as a fishing boat, with the three white characters "Muni Maru" painted on the bow and a trawl net hanging on the crane at the stern.

As they departed the port, the sun was setting and a strong wind was blowing across the sea. Many fishing boats returned to the port to take shelter from the storm, but the "Mani Maru" went against the current, prompting Lu Mingfei to shout tragically, "The wind is howling, the Yi River is cold, the brave warriors set out to sea, never to return."

Caesar lifted the lid of the steamer, and the bright orange king crab was taken out.

The first time the refined Dictator was used was to dismantle crabs. Caesar arranged the snow-white crab meat on ice, with wasabi puree and seafood soy sauce on the side.

“He’s very patient,” Yuan Zhisheng said to Chu Zihang, leaning against the ship’s railing and smoking.

“He’s very patient with certain things, like waiting a long time for a girl to fall in love with him, and then waiting a long time for a girl to marry him.” Chu Zihang wiped the long knife in his hand. “But there are other things that he can’t stand waiting even for a minute.”

"Do you think you can wait a long time to make a girl fall in love with you? Don't be silly," Natsuki said, looking at the dark sky and sea with Erii. He turned back and sneered, "While you're waiting like an idiot, she's walking arm in arm with someone under the same moonlight, you just don't know it. Many times, girls aren't chased or waited for, but rather you attract them because you are good enough."

Lu Mingfei glanced at him and muttered softly, "How did you know what I was thinking..."

"Gentlemen and beautiful ladies," Caesar raised his hand and clapped his hands, "come and try the Hokkaido-style king crab. The way they cook seafood here is the best in the world."

Natsuki carefully stuffed the crab leg meat he had removed into Erii's cherry-like mouth before eating a piece himself.

The natural, authentic taste of the sea fills your mouth, with a hint of sweetness.

Caesar opened a bottle of Sauternes and poured the golden, honey-like liquid into a glass.

"Château Ingenau-sur-Mer is the perfect match for lobster and crab," Caesar said, raising his glass. "Let this toast to the complete success of our shared mission."

Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Xia Mu clinked glasses, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, as if they had returned to the occasion of their last drinking contest.

Yuan Zhisheng remained expressionless and did not participate.

He simply couldn't understand why these guys were still having such a blast. Every time he tried to understand these singing and dancing idiots, he would make a mistake, so he might as well not try to understand them at all.

"Now, I would like to invite you to appreciate the project, 'The Unsinkable Sumeru Throne,' a collaboration between the Ganryu Research Institute and Maruyama Construction."

Natsuki looked in the direction that Genjiro pointed, and the sea, which had been hidden in the dark clouds, suddenly lit up as if it were on fire. The line where the sky met the sea was especially bright, as if the sunlight was being projected onto the sea.

Then, it was as if a palace had risen from the sea, its exquisite buildings brightly lit, more magnificent than any mirage, the sky and sea illuminated by those palace-like structures in a dazzling white light.

“The family has concentrated all six ‘Sumeru’ floating platforms here as the base for this deep-sea exploration. It is far more reliable than the Lenin, which sank here, so please do not worry about the storm,” said Yuan Zhisheng.

The "Mani Maru" gradually approached the floating platform. Xia Mu leaned against the ship's side, gazing at the huge Sumeru pedestal, his hand stroking his chin thoughtfully.

It would be such a shame if such a massive, all-metal floating base were destroyed by a horde of zombies…

Should we go all out?

If we reveal our full strength, will it allow Herzog to hide his true power even more, and will it cause changes to our plans?

But if you take this thing down, it'll be a floating sea fortress...

"Mumu, what are you doing?"

After stepping onto the Sumeru pedestal, Caesar and the others followed Genjiro, but Erii noticed that Natsuki squatted down, closed his eyes, and placed his hands on the ground.

Before Yuan Zhisheng and the others could turn around, Xia Mu stood up again, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He glanced back at Erii. Since she had already created such a grand spectacle, it was probably within Herzog's expectations that he would have to do it now...

Chapter 278 The Girl's Remote Dialogue

"Trieste Pressure Test Round 1! Pipeline pressure 300 atmospheres, valves open!"

"Circuit test for the first time! Full switches, full load ready, turn on!"

"The propulsion system is undergoing trial operation at 80% output!"

"Prepare to power on the memory metal film!"

In the dock, the Ganryu Research Institute was conducting final checks on the Trieste. Technicians were shouting, thousands of cables were being connected to the Trieste, and dozens of instruments were flashing around it.

"The Murasame sword I forged is absolutely sharp; why would I need to sharpen it at the last minute?"

Xia Mu watched as Chu Zihang wiped the knife in his hand, applying oil and polishing it repeatedly.

"This is my habit."

Chu Zihang focused intently on wiping the knife. "Listening to the sound of the whetstone rubbing against the blade, I can gradually calm down, just like a yoga practitioner who feels at one with the world when listening to the sounds of nature."

"You're like a knife, and you're sharpening it..."

Xia Mu muttered something, casually placing his hand on the giant metal pillar behind him, secretly sensing the structure of the entire Sumeru pedestal through stress.

"I have a question, may I ask it?" Chu Zihang suddenly said.

Natsuki looked up: "About Natsumi and Erii?"

Chu Zihang nodded.

Natsuki glanced at Erii's retreating figure; her red hair danced in the dark clouds, her beauty breathtaking.

"I do not know."

"Don't know what? Don't you know who you like more? Or don't you know what to do next?" Chu Zihang asked, sharpening his knife.

“I don’t know what the future holds,” Xia Mu said, the sea breeze whipping against his face, his hair flying wildly. His eyes were half bewildered and half determined. “But no matter what happens, I will always find a way to make them happy.”

Chu Zihang looked up: "Them?"

Xia Mu nodded: "Yes, them."

"Could it be Xia Mi..." Chu Zihang hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Xia Mu brushed aside the stray hairs covering her eyes: "Who knows..."

Chu Zihang remained silent for a while, quietly wiping away the raindrops, until it was almost time to dive. Suddenly, he asked, "What kind of relationship makes them all happy?"

“A family,” Xia Mu also withdrew his hand and shrugged. “It could be a family of three, a husband, wife and daughter, or a single father and two daughters, or something like that.”

Chu Zihang's head was spinning, his eyes filled with confusion.

Ten minutes later.

The long, mournful cry drowned out the sound of the waves, and yellow lights simultaneously illuminated the six "Sumeru pedestals".

These yellow lights rotated and swept across the surrounding sea, while helicopters in the sky, marine police boats coming and going on the sea, and fishing boats from the forest group responsible for vigilance in the distance all flashed their lights.

The diving dock at the bottom of the Sumeru pedestal opened, and the Trieste, loaded with heavy cargo, plunged into the black sea. White bubbles could be seen rising from the bottom of the Sumeru pedestal; these were the air released by the Trieste.

In the command center, Genji took off one of his earpieces and dialed a number: "The submersible has entered the water, and Natsuki and Erii are ready. The submersible will arrive at the Shrine of the Gods in 80 minutes."

"Thank you for your hard work. Princess Kaguya has hacked into the military satellite system. Tonight, no satellite will be able to take pictures of the nearby sea area," said Tachibana Masamune on the other end of the phone. "Show your skills, Chisei. The history of the Snake Clan will be rewritten because of you and me."

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment: "What if Xia Mu causes trouble?"

Tachibana Masamune said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, he has to take action even if it's just to protect himself. Now I'll help them get into position."

The white yacht bobbed in the rising tide, with a silver "orange" badge on its bow.

Tachibana Masamune and Fuuma Kotaro sat facing each other, drinking tea. Black-clad bodyguards were positioned at the bow and stern of the ship, with short swords in black sheaths at their waists.

Natsuki and Erii climbed onto the deck side by side.

Fuma Kotaro immediately stood up and bowed, not to Natsuki, but to the head of the Uesugi family.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Tachibana Masamune stood up, his gaze sweeping over Erii before landing on Natsuki's composed face. "There may not be any major changes, but it's always better to be cautious. I don't have your abilities, so I can only rely on the two of you to cover for me."

Xia Mu glanced at him: "Leave it to us."

With that, he and Erii jumped onto the small boat on the side of the ship.

The bodyguards in black untied the mooring ropes, and the waves pushed the small boat away from the ship's side.

The small boat, leaving a white trail of water, circled the Sumeru pedestal where the work was being carried out, bobbing with the waves.

A storm was approaching, and the waves were growing increasingly turbulent.

The small boat looked like a fallen leaf on the water that could sink at any moment, but Natsuki and Erii sat facing each other in the boat, as steady as a mountain.

"Mumu, can I talk to Xia Mi?" Erii tugged at Xia Mu's sleeve.

Xia Mu grinned: "What are you going to say to her?"

Erii blinked her wine-red eyes, her cheeks flushing: "I want to ask her... why she wanted to be our daughter."

“Because this is a new way for a third party to interfere,” Jormungandr replied calmly.

“Because she wants to make you happy, and she hopes we can get married soon,” Xia Mu said with a slight smile.

"Natsuki!"

Jormungandr cried out.

Natsuki remained unfazed, admiring Erii's adorable little blush.

"But what if I also want to be a baby?" Erii said softly.

“Then let’s get married and see if she’ll be willing to have the child,” Jormungandr said.

Xia Mu smiled and said, "She said that even if you marry me, I can still be your little baby."

"you!"

Jormungandr is getting increasingly impatient… Xia Mu secretly rejoiced.

As long as she doesn't have that indifferent tone all the time, that's fine.

"Marry you... and be your baby?" Erii tilted her head, her red hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Xia Mu nodded repeatedly: "These two things don't conflict."

"Oh…"

Erii blushed and lowered her head, her little hands twisting together, her heart pounding nervously.

Natsuki's heart skipped a beat: "Eri, I want to kiss you."

"Huh? Oh..."
