Dragon Raja: History Simulator

She felt a sense of helplessness. "This is actually the pinnacle that alchemy can achieve. Orthodox alchemy may be a bit higher than the Secret Society's, but the upper limit of its scale has been completely locked."

After sighing, Su Enxi pointed to the 3D drawing on her computer again. The top of the drawing showed the changes in airflow, the bottom showed the direction of the earth veins, and there were several blank spaces and a line in the middle. The earth veins and airflow around the line were out of place with the surroundings.

She said to the female ninja, "But this is only the upper limit of how humans and hybrids can replicate dragon technology, not the upper limit of how dragons can utilize elements."

“These lines…” After Su Enxi’s gestures, Jiu De Mai easily understood part of the 3D diagram, and then she noticed this line.

It was so unusual that it seemed completely out of place, yet it felt strangely familiar to the female ninja.

“That’s right, just like you thought, Mai,” Su Enxi nodded.

Mai Shude was still somewhat incredulous. She asked in a skeptical tone, "Is this Xiaolongnu and..." She hadn't figured out how to address Wang Anzhi. Even now, she still had very complicated feelings towards this new boss.

So she could only skip over another name and say, "The route you took with him, right?"

Su Enxi looked quite pleased with herself. "That's right, Mai. Otherwise, why do you think I'm always tracking down Xiaolongnu and your new boss?"

It's important to understand that the two of them themselves are a variable, a void formed within the alchemical matrix of the entire southwestern region of Sichuan and Chongqing.

She seemed very unwilling, "But there's nothing we can do. This is the phenomenon that beings of the Four Sovereigns' level can cause. Their existence itself is a manifestation of a natural phenomenon, a veritable walking natural disaster."

That's why I'm trying to pinpoint their whereabouts; at least it can eliminate some potential interference.

Mai nodded, surprisingly without doubting the conclusion made by Potato Chips that her new boss was also classified as a Dragon King.

She also noticed several blank spaces, most of which were located in Chengdu, and wondered, "So, the King of Bronze and Fire is hidden in these places in Chengdu?"

“Not necessarily,” Su Enxi immediately denied. “It can only be said that the connection is very strong.”

She pointed to two blank spaces of the same size, somewhat helplessly, "I originally thought that Constantine had appeared in these two places and might even have used his Word of Power here, but in fact, the investigation showed nothing."

"Is it Nibelungen?" Mai Shude guessed. Fluctuations that cannot be detected in the material world can often only originate in Nibelungen, a world that science cannot explain for the time being.

“No,” Su Enxi shook her head, “Constantine doesn’t have time to rebuild a Nibelungen. Building a Nibelungen is a very time-consuming process, and Constantine has only been out of the Bronze City for a few days.”

Seeing Mai Shude frowning, Su Enxi smiled and said, "Alright, Mai, don't overthink it. The longer we drag this out, the more Constantine will jump out. The boss will handle it then. I'm just doing some analysis and providing logistical support."

Still not satisfied, Mai Shude pressed on, asking, "Then what are these two blank spaces?"

“You might not believe it,” Su Enxi chuckled softly, “One is that wood carving shop. That’s understandable, since you and I both know that it was once the place where another King of Bronze and Fire, Prince Norton, lived. He spent a wonderful childhood there, so it’s not surprising that Constantine could sense his brother’s presence.”

Of course, there might be other things going on there, but that's none of our business.

"And the other place?" Mai asked.

When Norton awoke, he was adopted by a family surnamed Tang. He stayed there until he came of age, when his parents passed away, and Norton had no reason to stay.

He left his hometown through the "Hunter's Website" to pursue his "American Dream" across the ocean, and from then on, he had a new name: Ronald Don.

These things are important, but they are somewhat insignificant to her now that she knows the secret.

“The other place is the Bai family’s old residence,” Su Enxi said, manipulating the mouse, trying to observe the entire lair of this mixed-race family through satellite, but she failed. In the satellite’s view, there was only a vaguely visible, huge palace that looked like a mirage.

Su Enxi clicked her tongue and stopped trying. She looked at Jiu De Mai and teased, "Don't underestimate this old house. It's called an old house, but it's actually a palace, probably..."

Su Enxi tilted her head and mentally calculated while referring to the blurry map. She quickly came to the answer: "It's about one-third the size of the Forbidden City, similar to the palace where your Japanese Emperor lives, but smaller than the Kremlin."

She exclaimed, "This is a true thousand-year-old family! Their combined assets are comparable to those of the Eight Families of Sheqi."

Mai Shude's face darkened again. "Don't mention the Snake-Headed Eight Families to me."

Su Enxi shrugged and nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Jiu Demai asked, "What is the background of this Bai family? They are so wealthy."

Su Enxi held up two fingers. "The Bai family is roughly divided into two branches, one is the main family, and the other is a branch family. But in reality, these two branches are almost the same, except that they recognize different ancestors."

One of these branches is the Ying clan of the Bai family, a branch of the Qin people. The famous killing god Bai Qi is said to have come from this family.

Another branch was the Bai clan of the Mi surname, which was related to the royal family of Chu. The Qin and Chu dynasties had intermarried for generations, a situation that was, in a complicated and unclear way.

After a pause, Su Enxi continued, "However, they also claim to be descendants of Emperor Shaohao." As she spoke, Su Enxi laughed.

"This credibility is the same as that of the descendants of Yan and Huang."

As Jiu Demai listened to Su Enxi recount the Bai family's affairs, she also thought of the man named Qin Wuyi and his imposing manner in front of the Bai family head. Therefore, she asked:

"What is the background of that Qin Wuyi? He seems even more imposing than the Bai family head."

“He is indeed a ruthless and ambitious man,” Su Enxi said, becoming more serious when the name was mentioned. “Qin Wuyi has in fact taken control of the Bai family. He can now be considered the great-uncle of the Bai family patriarch.”

“Uncle,” Jiu Demai said, her voice strained, “if I remember correctly, these mixed-race families were almost all connected by blood ties, right? How could they possibly have their real power usurped under such circumstances?”

"That's how it is normally. Families are like ironclad dynasties, but there are always exceptions. For example, Qin Wuyi is one of them."

Su Enxi spoke eloquently: "Qin Wuyi's mother was also a member of the Bai family, but she was from a collateral branch. She was so distant from the head of the family that only the elders in charge of the family genealogy remembered her. You wouldn't know her at all if you didn't check."

"As an aside, long legs, Qin Wuyi's background is similar to yours, but he was determined to become the uncrowned king of the Bai family, while you were forced to live in hiding and fear every day. Even after entering Dongda University, you were afraid that your former employer would come knocking on your door. The difference between you is immeasurable!"

"Shut up," Mai reached out to cover Su Enxi's mouth, but Su Enxi dodged her. Mai didn't chase after her because what Chip Girl said was indeed true.

She was born into the Hebi-hachi family of Japan, which is divided into "three major clans" and "five minor clans". The five minor clans are Fuma, Miyamoto, Ryoma, Sakurai, and Inuyama.

These eight families constituted the order of Japan's mixed-race society. In reality, as dragon blood spread through generations of wars, it flowed into almost everyone's body, and the surnames of mixed-race people could not be limited to just the eight families.

However, these eight families control the household registration of almost all mixed-race individuals, which is their true foothold.

This advantage allowed these eight families to maintain their dominant position for a long time, and their leader was known as the "Shadow Emperor," or the Shadow Emperor.

Sixty-four years ago, in 1945, that man, five-star general MacArthur, entered Tokyo. He had a wealth of talent under his command, including Angers and Henkel, the leaders of two mixed-race organizations in North America and Europe.

At that time, General MacArthur was flanked by Angers, the leader of the Secret Service, on his left and Henrault, the leader of the Thirteen North American Families, on his right. He strutted into the Japanese Imperial Palace with an air of arrogance and pride, becoming Emperor Hirohito's retired emperor.

On the surface, he lived in the Japanese Imperial Palace and indulged in relationships with Japanese actresses; in reality, his American civil service group was working to dismantle Japanese zaibatsu and distribute shares to executives and employees.

On another level, Hilbert Jean Angers, the leader of the Secret Society, defeated Uesugi Koshi, the shadow king of the Snake Clan, and began to establish the Japanese branch of the Kassel College.

Angers employed similar methods to his colleagues, dismantling the Eight Herikie Families of Japan into a chaotic mess and granting freedom and democracy to the mixed-race minor families controlled by the Eight Great Families. He used these individuals to form the backbone of the Japanese branch.

At the same time, the last surviving member of the nearly extinct Inuyama clan from the Snake-Headed Eight Families was appointed as the branch manager, thus preserving a facade for the Snake-Headed Eight Families that could be torn apart at any time.

Over the next fifty years, Japan's economy steadily improved, striving to become the world's second-largest economy and aiming to buy up the entire United States. However, Japan's mixed-race families were in complete disarray, and its martial virtues plummeted to their lowest point.

Although the Hebihachi family later broke free from its constraints under the leadership of another man named Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Hebihachi family, like the Japanese emperor, no longer possessed the aura of a former "shadow emperor."

Mai Shutoku was born into such a mixed-race society, and no one understood better than her the difficulties of overthrowing such an order.

Despite the decline of the Sheqi Eight Families to this point in the fifty years following the war, they were still able to exert such a huge advantage to unify the entire mixed-race society of Japan once someone united them.

Once integrated, they began to secretly betray their "father" by trying to establish a China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Area to completely break the blockade imposed by their "American daddy."

As a family with a longer history, the Bai family of Chengdu has its legitimate patriarch so deeply controlled by a collateral branch or even someone who doesn't even have the surname Bai. Should we say that the Bai family patriarch and the elders in their clan are too incompetent, or that Qin Wuyi is too terrifying?

"So, how did Qin Wuyi, with such a humble background, come to wield such power?" Jiu Dema asked.

"It's actually quite simple," Su Enxi said with a sigh when she thought of this. "The Bai family wanted to engage in overseas trade, so they formed a marriage alliance with the Chen family, which had a great connection with the Gattuso family. Bai Lingbo, the younger sister of the Bai family head, married the Chen family head, determined to get on the good side of opening up to the outside world."

However, it was at this time that they relaxed their reliance on force, allowing Qin Wuyi and a group of mixed-race individuals to easily seize power.

Ultimately, for hybrids who wield violence, only violence is a family's true reliance.

After listening, Mai nodded slightly, her figure gradually darkening. "So, what is the connection between the Bai family and Constantine?"

Su Enxi chuckled, "Speaking of which, there really is one. Two thousand years ago, Gongsun Shu, who was personally assisted or used as a puppet by Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, was also a member of a collateral branch of the Bai family, just like this Qin Wuyi."

The female ninja nodded, then turned her face away. "So, where did Little Dragon Girl go for a stroll today?"

"Is it Little Dragon Girl?" Su Enxi asked, drawing out her words.

"Of course, who else could it be?" Mai Shude retorted stubbornly.

Su Enxi fiddled with her computer and exclaimed, "Huh? I thought they were going to Chengdu to clash with the Bai family or that Qin Wuyi? I didn't expect them to go to that small town where Norton grew up again today."

When Wang Anzhi verbally agreed with the devilish version of Lu Mingze to take away Jiu De Mai, he had already established an unstable alliance with this most mysterious and unpredictable little devil.

It was precisely because of this that, with his tacit approval, Su Enxi was able to learn about his whereabouts so easily.

Chapter 143 Old Tang? Donald?

Haiwozi Ancient Town.

Tang's Wood Carving Shop.

Rainwater meandered down the windowsill, blurring the view outside into flowing colors.

Xia Mi sat blankly by the window, just as she had done in her neighborhood in Beijing, watching the rain gradually slide down and imagining how lonely her younger brother Fenrir, who was underground, must be.

She turned her head and looked at Wang Anzhi sitting at his desk. This time, he was holding the Book of Han, which is widely recognized as the best of the Twenty-Four Histories.

"Senior brother, is this the place where Norton used to live?" Xia Mi wondered.

This is Tang's Woodcarving Shop. According to the owner, he originally had an older brother and sister-in-law who adopted a child. Later, his brother and sister-in-law passed away due to illness, and their adopted child went to the United States. So, he took over the management of the woodcarving shop.

The shop is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood and pine. Various carving tools hang on the walls, gleaming with a metallic luster under the warm yellow modern lights. The room perfectly embodies both modern and traditional styles.

The shelves are filled with finished and unfinished wood carvings, ranging from traditional statues of gods and Buddhas to modern abstract works.

In front of Xia Mi was placed a three-headed, six-armed Nezha Kuvara, an Indian deity.

The Queen of the Earth and Mountains once unleashed a punishment upon the world, centered in India, to purge those dragons and humans who refused to submit to her, and at the same time, to completely extinguish the Black King's hopes of extinction.

In a sense, this war also led to the complete decline of the dragon race.

The four monarchs, possessing the highest military strength, could not gain the support of the second and third generation races who controlled all the high-end production resources of the dragon race. As a result, they gradually declined and were eventually destroyed. The few remaining ones either perished in the repeated dragon-slaying wars throughout history or hid their identities and became "monarchs in the shadows".

Without exception.

Thus, humans and hybrids truly stepped onto the stage of history, and with the support of the four monarchs and the remaining "dark monarchs," they successfully inherited the legacy of the dragon race and developed into an ancient alchemical civilization.

The Age of Gods in Takamagahara, Japan, the Age of Emperor Gong in the Classic of Mountains and Seas of China, and the Age of Atlantis and Heroes that are popular in Europe are all manifestations of this civilization.

Behind every deity lies the figure of the Dragon King and the Dragon Clan. In India, the title of Shami is Shiva, just like the supreme authority she wields, the Word of Power, Shiva's Dance of Karma.

This is why she has a special feeling for India, much like a slave owner seeing his former slaves or a white plantation owner seeing a black person transported from afar.

After all, this was one of the few victories she had ever achieved in her life.

“Yes! Didn’t you ask too?” Wang Anzhi said casually. “After you paid enough money, that Boss Tang was very open and honest, except when you pressed him for details about his nephew, Old Tang’s, whereabouts. That’s when he started to stammer.”

"This is outrageous!" Xia Mi slammed her hand on the large woodworking table that had been behind her, a carving knife still clutched in her right hand.

"I was just asking about his nephew's whereabouts, not trying to kill him, yet he's so wary of me."

Despite saying that, Xia Mi wasn't actually very angry.

She was indeed a little intimidated by Norton, after all, this "Black Prince" had managed to withstand the attacks of the other two Dragon Kings all by himself.
