Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"But Norton is dead, and the only one we can suspect now is Odin," said the vice-principal.

"Who could Odin be? Or rather, what is he?" The principal seemed to be asking the night watchman, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"It is undoubtedly a Dragon King. His achievements in alchemy are not inferior to those of the Bronze and Fire Kings. I still cannot fully understand the principle of the mask that temporarily gave Lu Mingfei the ability to fight the first generation." The Night Watchman said coldly, "He may have been awake for a long time, and may even have great power in the human world."

This is chilling speculation.

The principal shuddered violently.

The monarchs of the dark side are not exaggerating, they really exist, they are high above, and they harvest all living beings like shepherding lambs.

If the Dragon Kings could put aside their pride of being alone and organize their followers, there would always be humans or hybrids willing to follow in their footsteps.

Then they will be even more difficult to deal with. They will have to brainwash their followers, do team building, corporate management, establish a performance appraisal system, etc. It's really scary to think about it.

"There is one more thing, about Lu Mingfei." The night watchman suddenly said, his expression seemed more serious.

"Our hero seems to be very interested in that thing... the thing in the ice cellar."

"You mean...Norton's keel?" The principal pushed his glasses.

"He entered the ice cellar three times in two weeks for that embryo. His inspections seemed illogical, but he always stayed outside the freezing room of that second-generation embryo the longest. EVA inferred from his behavior pattern that Lu Mingfei might be very interested in that embryo." said the night watchman.

"The black card in Mingfei's hand has the same authority as ours. Can EVA monitor him?" The principal was stunned.

"I can't tell what EVA is, but I'm sure she must have some kind of life. Authority probably isn't particularly useful to her." The night watchman shrugged. The beautiful girl in blue was standing on his computer screen. She was slender and beautiful, and she didn't seem like something that should exist in this world.

She is his student.

"You should know that I have modified her underlying command library," said Angers.

The corner of the night watchman's eye twitched slightly.

Everyone has always believed that EVA is a reliable partner. She is the eyes of the entire academy. With her in the academy, the academy can see every corner of the world.

But only he knew that after EVA was created, the underlying command library was modified once. That modification was carried out in secret, and even the night watchmen and the board of directors were unaware of the content of the modification.

"It's a bit inaccurate to say it's EVA's command library, because no one in the world can force her to do anything. What I modified was actually a command in Norma's lowest-level command library, which will protect Mingfei at all times. But Norma can be seen as a personality of EVA, so there is not much difference between the two."

"Any time?" The vice-principal shuddered silently. He tried to hold the cigarette with his fingers, but he couldn't hold it steadily because of the violent trembling.

"Your computer is a rare restricted area that neither Norma nor EVA can invade. Conversations here are safe, so I can tell you." The principal smiled. "Even if one day the school board thinks Lu Mingfei is a threat to them, and the old guys decide to blow him up with a nuclear bomb, when the launch order is sent from them, the coordinates transmitted to the terminal will become their own coordinates."

"Ange, is that kid Lu Mingfei really your illegitimate child?" the vice-principal muttered.

Ange was stunned for a moment, a little angry and embarrassed, "You are such an old bastard."

"What I mean is that your student EVA was, in a sense, born for Lu Mingfei. The authenticity of all the information she reported to you is still questionable," said Angé.

"But as far as I know, when Lu Mingfei first came into close contact with the sub-sperm embryo at the Chicago Civic Opera, his mind was invaded by God. He was pulled into an unknown spiritual world for three hours." The vice-president said leisurely.

He dug out a new bottle of whiskey for himself from the corner. The dark yellow liquid was rippling in the transparent glass bottle. He shook the liquor gently, and suddenly he showed an aura that was no less than Angers.

The night watchman looked at the principal, "Ange, you also know that my authority in EVA should be slightly higher than yours, right?" The principal did not say anything, but just poured the liquor into his mouth.

The vice-president chuckled in an almost mocking manner, "I had EVA break through the Gattuso family's network information blockade of the Chicago Civic Opera. Although you did it very covertly, I still saw it."

The vice-principal paused here, and he regained his nonchalant temperament, touching his belly with his hand, "You were also affected by the spirit of the embryo, right, when Chu Zihang took Lu Mingfei and the Seven Deadly Sins out of the building. But we all know that a pure-blooded dragon can only exert his spiritual domain on one person at a time, and at that time your illegitimate child had not yet escaped from the spiritual domain. Maybe this is the reason why you forced the postponement of the implementation of the Golden Plan?"

Click!

The glass in the principal's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

For a moment, it seemed as if the storm outside the window swept into this warm attic.

Chapter 99 Ice Cellar

One of the entrances and exits of the ice cellar is located in the core area of ​​Valhalla, where the bones or clothes of famous dragon-slaying heroes in history are enshrined according to ancient religious customs. Eternally burning oil lamps are lined on the stone walls, and each lamp illuminates a coffin.

The molten gold flowed along the patterns that had been carved long ago, forming one hexagram array after another that was used by priests or demon hunters in the Middle Ages to suppress demons. The bottom of the coffin was carved with thick bronze to form the family crests of the dragon-slaying heroes' families.

The dates of birth and death and surnames of the deceased were written in gold on their sides. Fresh white flowers were always offered in front of them, and the ever-burning lamps never went out, which meant that the will of the secret party would be passed on forever.

Everyone who dares to step onto this battlefield must firmly choose his or her own position, even if he or she has to pay a heavy price along the way.

Coming here again, Lu Mingfei still felt extremely solemn and glorious. Solemnity and silence were intertwined here. The ancient warriors suppressed the entrance to hell with their souls to prevent those unwilling evil spirits from crawling out of the abyss and wreaking havoc on the world again.

That’s right, this entrance to the ice cellar is only accessible to the holders of the black card, and it leads directly to the hellish cemetery where gods and kings are buried or sleeping.

When Lu Mingfei, wearing a black fleece windbreaker, stepped into it, the engineering elevator creaked and sank under the control of EVA. After a long period of darkness, it finally reached the bottom of the ice cellar. It was pitch black here, and he found the power switch with ease.

It seemed as if a sun was rising underground.

It was a dazzlingly bright spotlight, embedded directly into the dome of the steel wall that was several dozen centimeters thick, and covered by a huge glass arc, spreading light and heat from top to bottom to the entire space.

One can clearly see that the smooth marble floor in front of you has deep grooves carved with some kind of sharp weapon, and the inner walls of the grooves are left with messy and sharp knife marks. Dozens or even hundreds of such deep grooves meander and twist on the ground, intersecting each other like a net, forming a huge and complex pattern. The pattern looks like some kind of strange religious totem, with both the sacred glory of the cross and the simple lines of a goat devil. Some kind of opposition similar to good and evil, or righteousness and evil, or God and the devil is imagined without warning in the pattern formed by these deep grooves by anyone who sees it.

Thick mercury flowed in the trough like a river, reflecting a dazzling light.

This is some kind of powerful alchemical matrix. Other storage rooms in the ice cellar have similar arrangements. It uses the flow of mercury to stimulate some kind of spiritual effect, suppressing those alchemical products that have their own activities or life forms with dragon-like aura.

Compared to the alchemical matrix carved by the Night Watch, the matrix made by the Gaotinggen family at the invitation was more aggressive. Although Lu Mingfei did not understand alchemy, Norma's explanation was exactly the same, and it could also be seen from the carver's technique when those deep grooves were carved with a sharp blade.

Such an alchemical matrix is ​​not stable. It can usually exert extraordinary power when activated, but it can also maintain an activated state for a shorter time.

The opposition between gods and demons symbolizes the war between two kings that took place in ancient times as recorded in the North Sea Fragments. The black emperor and the white god strangled each other, and one third of the dragons fell into hell.

The alchemical matrix was still running on its own, and Lu Mingfei's arrival was unable to activate it because he was a person within the authority, and everyone within the authority could be recognized by the alchemical matrix.

In its center, at the point where all the lines intersected, the light from the huge spotlight was reflected back by a huge metal dome, so that place was still hidden in shadow, but you could still see what was there.

There was a huge cylinder made of quartz glass. Inside the cylinder was a transparent liquid that filled every gap, leaving no space. There was a semi-oval, dark green object like Hetian jade suspended in the center of the quartz glass column. It was the embryo of the next generation that Lu Mingfei had bought from Henkel's estate.

The naked, petite girl curled up in the embryo and fell asleep.

She is very beautiful, with long eyelashes, fair skin and ink-black hair.

Yu.

Yu Ji.

But the embryo was surrounded by a long bronze chain fixed with a binding rope. The ends of the chain were inserted into the top and bottom of the quartz glass column. Each buckle was engraved with complicated ancient Hebrew words, which were the verdicts of the kings who sentenced a certain dragon to death during the Dragon Civilization period. The lines wrapped in golden insulating glue were connected to the surface of the embryo along these copper chains. That thing was a facility that could release high voltage electricity. Lu Mingfei had not checked how many volts it was, but he thought it should be comparable to the strength of the skills released by a yellow rat.

"Records: January 2010, 1. I entered the ice cellar for the fourth time and faced the second-generation embryo directly. I was five meters away from the embryo's shell. I did not trigger the dragon's alert, and did not provoke a mental invasion of the second-generation." Lu Mingfei said in a very light voice.

The mobile phone in Norma's hand automatically entered these characters under her control. There were already three similar documents in front.

After returning to the academy from Chicago, Lu Mingfei came to the ice cellar almost every two days. He got the information about the elevator deep in the Hall of Heroes from Norma's database.

The engineering elevator leads directly to the bottom floor of the ice cellar, where there are two huge enclosed spaces. The first enclosed space is the one where Lu Mingfei is now, which contains the embryos of the next generation. The second enclosed space is deeper, and the skeleton of Dragon King Norton is sealed with the most powerful alchemical matrix ever.

That was a dragon bone cross that contained the power of the king. No one dared to say that such a thing would not crawl out of hell. So the secret party used the most dangerous alchemical matrix and all other methods they could think of to restrict this dragon bone cross to prevent the revival of certain things and the invasion of certain things. However, Lu Mingfei was not interested in Norton's dragon bone cross.

The death of Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, was premeditated.

Like Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo, he was a person who had come back from the future. He had shattered the tragic fate that had enveloped him and his little brother, even if the price was his life. But Lu Mingfei was still envious. He thought that perhaps a big monster like himself could do it, and if he was asked to exchange his life for Eri's, he would probably be willing.

But every time he thought of Norton's eyes before he died and his gentle tone like a brother, Lu Mingfei felt a pain in his heart. He originally thought that he had let it go, and that this time they had no intersection and Norton would not appear, but Old Tang said that he had not seen him for a long time, but his eyes were still sore.

Lu Mingfei approached the quartz glass and knocked on the outer wall of the glass, making a crisp sound, as if greeting Yu. But she did not wake up, probably because the alchemical matrix suppressed her activity.

"Norma, has it been confirmed that the implementation of the Golden Holy Syrup Project has been postponed?" Lu Mingfei asked softly. A girl answered his question in an emotionless voice from the phone, "Yes, on January 1, Principal Angers initiated the latest school board meeting to renegotiate the implementation time of the Golden Holy Syrup. It was finally decided to postpone it to January 22, 2011."

"Yeah." Lu Mingfei leaned on the glass and looked inside. He was thinking about the girl in the cocoon. What on earth was she and what message was she trying to convey to him?

And, more importantly, why did Xia Mi's spirit also appear in that realm that day?

Is it...

Is there more than one king's will hidden in Yu's embryo?

It's funny, there is obviously a best explanation buried in his heart, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud or think about it. The child who has not grown up puts on a suit with gold hair style and holds a sword, but he is still a child.

After a long, long time, Lu Mingfei finally stood up. He adjusted his windbreaker and made himself look neat and tidy again.

Look at the time. It's 11:30 at night, not a minute more or less.

This is the shift change time in Norma's central control room. Although there are still specialists paying close attention to dragon sighting warnings or other emergencies around the world, there will be a ten-minute blank period when the professors on duty take over. During this time, no one will be able to pay attention to the flow of Norma's data.

In fact, it would be difficult to notice at other times, but considering that the information Lu Mingfei wants to collect may touch upon some obscure history and big figures who are unwilling to show up, the review of some specific information may attract the attention of the professor on duty.

The principal was not in school at this time. In Lu Mingfei's impression, the vice-principal was a genius in the field of alchemy but a somewhat silly old fellow. Although the Night Watch Forum was founded by this fellow, he had never managed the specific affairs within the academy.

"Please continue to inform the principal and vice principal of my actions in the ice cellar these days, and conceal my knowledge of this matter." Although he was already very cautious, Lu Mingfei still made a request to Norma.

He is now a very smart boy and knows the importance of giving up pawns to protect Ferrari.

As the greatest dragon slayer in history, Lu Mingfei was probably quite trustworthy in the eyes of the principal. In addition, since he had never entered the storage room of Norton's Crossbone and had experienced the Chicago Civic Opera, Lu Mingfei's sneaking into the ice cellar to check the next generation embryos was not a big deal.

But Herzog was different. He was the human who knew the most about the dragon clan that Lu Mingfei knew. After killing Herzog, Lu Mingfei studied the information he left behind. It was shocking and frightening.

Even the secret party today does not dare to say that their knowledge of dragons can surpass Herzog's, but the old madman's knowledge seems to come out of thin air. Any scholar who can make a breakthrough in a field should have done so by standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, which means that behind Herzog there must be someone who knows equally well about dragons.

Apart from pure-blooded dragons and some bigwigs in the secret party, Lu Mingfei really couldn't think of anyone else who could do this.

Rewatching the disaster that happened in Tokyo over and over again afterwards, it seemed like some weird arena, where the strongest beast was raised, and then the beast keeper harvested it and took away all the results.

If this is true, then Lu Mingfei must be more cautious in his secret investigation of Herzog.

This time he possessed very strong individual combat capabilities, but he was still a human being after all. Without activating the dragon bone state and turning on the blood burst, a bullet from an anti-material sniper rifle could take his life.

"Norma, is there a professor on duty in the central control room?" Lu Mingfei returned to the engineering elevator and was about to begin a formal investigation.

"No, Professor Guderian, who has taken over, is on his way to the central control room."

"Is Principal Ange in the academy right now?"

"Flight information shows that the principal is currently in London."

"Is there any black card holder within the range of Kassel Academy?"

"Yes, there are two in total."

Lu Mingfei frowned. The black card holders had the same permissions, which were only limited to within the academy.

"Who is the other black card holder?"

"Teacher Flamel, vice-president of Kassel College." Norma replied.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

He had returned to the ground at this time. Valhalla was still quiet and solemn, and the light of the eternal lamp was dim but sacred.

The sound of rain and snow was rustling, and the wind was getting stronger.

"With my authority, call on computing resources to search all databases around the world for two people. They are Jung von Herzog, the chief scientist of a genetic project at the German Third Reich Biological Research Institute, and KGB Colonel Bondarev. Bondarev and Herzog have some connection. There may be phone records between the two, or there may be cooperation reports on the same project stored in the archives of the Russian Federal Bureau of Investigation."
