From Hokage to Visionary
Page 235
But He is still willing to believe it, even if the possibility is only one in ten thousand.
"How about it, are you willing?"
Uchiha Sogetsu stopped knocking, leaned forward slightly, and his light golden vertical pupils reflected Norton's figure.
"If I could use the glory of the Dragon King to exchange for a brand new life"
Norton let out a long sigh and said, "If I'm with Constantine, then..."
Over the long years, he had long forgotten the glory of the dragon clan, and even no longer thought about pursuing the past, but from beginning to end, there was only one thing he could not give up, and that was Constantine, the brother who was always cowardly but accompanied him through the lonely years.
"I am willing!"
Norton's voice was firm, without any hesitation.
Uchiha Sogetsu smiled slightly and nodded: "Then, the deal is done."
For a Sequence 3 Weaver, although it is impossible to truly bring a dead creature back to life, it is not impossible to find another way.
But the Weaver can separate some of the identities he once had and turn them into living people. Even if these identities die, it will not cause the death of the main body. This ability is a prerequisite for the Visionary. In other words, it is just a piece of cake for him to let Norton and Constantine live a new life with a different identity.
By extracting all of Norton and Constantine's personalities and memories, and then stuffing them into a woven real form, an alternative form of "rebirth" can be achieved.
Of course, Uchiha Sogetsu did not tell Norton about the price that would have to be paid.
That is the power and strength of the King of Bronze and Fire!

Chapter 364 Xia Mi: Oops, the vest is going to fall off!
The Bronze Plan came to a temporary end, and Manstein documented the mission process and reported it to the Kassel Board of Directors.
But there were some things that concerned Manstein, and that was the board’s attitude toward Lu Mingfei, which was obviously somewhat intriguing.
According to common sense, Lu Mingfei's sudden appearance and the amazing fighting power he displayed, as well as his familiarity with the Bronze Purgatory and the Seven Deadly Sins, would inevitably lead to relevant inspections to determine the stability and safety of his S-level bloodline. However, unexpectedly, the board of directors did not react at all this time.
It was as if he knew about this matter in advance, and he even instructed Manstein to hand over the "Bronze Purgatory: Seven Deadly Sins" directly to Lu Mingfei for safekeeping.
Manstein frowned, his intuition telling him that the board of directors and Lu Mingfei seemed to have reached some kind of "tacit understanding" or cooperation.
Apart from this, he really couldn't imagine why the board's handling of Lu Mingfei was so uncharacteristic.
"Ange, what on earth are you planning?" Manstein was leaning over the desk, putting down his pen, pinching his sore brows. Just as he was about to take a break, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. He sat up straight again and looked out the door: "Come in."
The person who walked in from outside was Nuonuo. She had a high ponytail, wore washed-out jeans, and a white suspender top, exuding a youthful vibe.
"Professor Manstein, the board of directors called and asked us to salvage the 'dragon bones' of the King of Bronze and Fire as soon as possible." The girl handed over the document and found that Manstein, who had been working intensively in the past few days, was in a very bad state of spirit. So she asked with concern, "Do you want to take a break, Professor?"
"Wait until I'm done with this busy period."
Manstein waved his hand and sighed, "Besides, I'm not entirely sure about leaving the Dragon King's skeleton at the bottom of the river. We should pack it up and take it back as soon as possible."
"That's true. I guess the board of directors can't wait and want to have an audience with the Dragon King." Nono nodded approvingly.
The secret party of mixed races has a history of a thousand years since its inception, but this is the first time that the 'Dragon King' has been killed in the true sense, and no one would be able to endure it.
Besides, Manstein was right. The longer Norton's dragon bone cross stayed at the bottom of the river, the more unstable factors there would be. If it attracted the attention of some crazy secret party, trouble would arise again. It would be better to resolve it as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll arrange the salvage operation as soon as possible."
Nono added another sentence.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Nono." Manstein nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How are the others doing?"
"Caesar and Chu Zihang were sent back for treatment. Xia Mi continued her vacation. Lu Mingfei said he would go to Kassel after he had dealt with some things." Nono briefly informed everyone of their current situation.
Manstein was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, as if he was considering something. Finally, he lowered his voice and asked meaningfully, "What do you think of this person, Xia Mi?"
"What do you mean?"
Nono seemed to have expected it and was not surprised when Manstein mentioned Xia Mi.
"All."
Manstein said in a deep voice: "I need your judgment. You are professional in this area."
Nono has a special ability that allows him to conduct psychological profiling of someone. The more he understands the person, the more accurate the profile will be.
And this is exactly why Manstein asked Nono. He already had some guesses, but he needed stronger evidence.
"Xia Mi is deliberately hiding some secrets."
Nuo Nuo lifted her hair from her temples, her bright eyes glowing with light, and she had already entered the state of profile: "She knows a lot about the dragon race. When she was on the ship, she had pointed out key issues many times, and she was a little sad about the death of the Dragon King Norton. It is very likely that the two knew each other, but considering Norton's human identity, the two have no connection, so."
Having said this, she stopped and did not continue the profile.
Manstein naturally guessed the reason why Nuonuo stopped. The wrinkles on his forehead were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape. He sighed with a sad face: "I know. Don't tell anyone about this for the time being. I will report it to the principal in person."
"it is good."
Nuo Nuo nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say that sentence.
She suspected that Xia Mi had known Chu Zihang for a long time, and that there was some unknown secret between them.
Although Xia Mi concealed it very well, it still couldn't hide from her eyes. Every time she looked at Chu Zihang, there was always a hint of imperceptible emotion in those clear eyes.
In the dark night, an old man in a flowery shirt and wooden clogs walked into a subway tunnel.
The green mist surged towards him like a tide, and the biting chill it brought made the old man shiver and wrap himself up in his flowery coat.
"Oh, it's so cold. I should have worn more clothes earlier." The old man muttered, complaining, "I'm almost 90 years old, and I still have to work hard for others. What a black-hearted boss. At least let me rest for a few more days because of my injury."
A biting wind blew in the wet tunnel, making a mournful hum, and the road ahead was pitch black, as if it was a road to the underworld.
Suddenly, a series of tiny sounds came along with the chilly wind in the tunnel.
"Oh, are you here to welcome me as a guest?"
The old man stopped, put his hands in his sleeves, looked up into the depths of the tunnel, and his golden eyes lit up.
Although there was no light in the tunnel, his excellent eyesight still allowed him to clearly see those bat-like creatures hidden in the texture of the tunnel's rock walls, with their tiny bones stretched out, their membrane-covered wings extended, their five-fingered claws on the ends of their wings, and their bodies shining with a bronze luster.
Obviously, those creatures were awakened by the people who rashly broke into the tunnel. Countless golden pupils revealing desire and greed, like lit candles, illuminated the darkness of the tunnel one after another.
"Kamaweasel? How rare! I thought it was extinct."
The old man's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "Hey, do you understand what I'm saying? I'm here to visit your master, could you please make way for me?"
But it was obvious that these "beasts" could not understand what he said, and even if they did, they would not agree.
The 'Kamaitachi', who had just woken up from his long sleep, was extremely eager for fresh blood.
Just as Caesar's words were named after this monster-like creature, these 'Sickles' also have the power to control the wind. The tunnel was densely packed with Sickles, numbering at least tens of thousands, and they emitted sharp and piercing hisses at the same time, echoing with each other as if forming a resonance.
"Tsk, it looks like there's no way to negotiate."
The old man sighed deeply and said helplessly: "In this case, I can only kill you all."
The pitch-black corona emerged without warning, and the terrifying gravity it emitted captured the flying sickle-weasels. The entire tunnel seemed to be shaking, with hideous cracks crisscrossing and spreading out to the rock walls in all directions with the old man's feet as the center.
Those sickle-weasels were dragged by gravity and flew towards the dark corona, but were annihilated by the extreme high temperature before they got close.
The old man, no, Uesugi Yue's eyes were burning with molten golden flames, like a single man standing against a thousand, releasing the word spirit 'Black Sun', step by step towards the depths of the tunnel, thousands of sickle-weasels screamed madly, but could not escape the pull of gravity, and were all dragged over and burned to ashes!
Until a slender figure appeared deep in the tunnel.
"Human, are you challenging me?!"
The majestic momentum was like a tsunami, filling the entire tunnel in an instant and even causing a huge gale.
"The real owner finally showed up. I thought I had to wait a little longer."
Uesugi Yue put away the Black Sun, then looked at the slender figure and half-lowered his head to show respect: "I am Uesugi Yue, it is an honor to meet you, the King of the Earth and the Mountains!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 365 Report! Someone is cheating!
This meeting completely exceeded Xia Mi's expectations.
Looking at Uesugi Yue, who was marked as 'killed in battle' in the Kassel Academy database, she suddenly had the illusion of being trapped in a spider web, turning from a hunter into a prey.
But at the same time, more questions, or doubts, surged out of my heart like a tangled mess.
"Respected King of the Earth and Mountains, please allow me to introduce myself." Uesugi Yue was not in a hurry. Like a gentleman, he bowed to the slender figure in the darkness. It was a pity that he lacked a hat, otherwise it would look more appropriate. "My name is Uesugi Yue, the last Emperor of Japan. I come here to announce the destiny to you at the will of my Lord."
Declare destiny?
At first, Xia Mi was slightly stunned, but soon she couldn't help but sneer: "What era is it now? You are still playing this trick. Aren't you childish?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I am just responsible for passing it on."
Uesugi Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly that after all, he was just a messenger, and whether or not to believe it was none of his business.
Xia Mi was silent for half a second, then said calmly: "Okay, then tell me about it."
"You will die at the hands of the one you love."
Uesugi Yue conveyed the message truthfully, but he himself felt awkward when he said it.
The four kings of the dragon clan have always been cold-blooded, cruel and tyrannical. The probability of them falling in love with a human and dying at his hands is no less than Angers coming out tomorrow, and he is the passive party. The probability cannot be said to be completely zero, but it can only be said to be infinitely close to zero, which is extremely outrageous!
Is this a plot from some romance novel?!
Uesugi Yue really wanted to complain, thinking that this was absolutely impossible, but then he thought again that Adam's predictions were never wrong, and finally he felt that it was likely that the world was changing too fast.
Okay, let’s get back to the topic.
Not to mention Uesugi's increasingly divergent thoughts, Xia Mi was shocked.
In her mind, the shadow of a young boy inexplicably emerged, but she quickly shook her head vigorously to drive away the thought.
"Ridiculous!" Xia Mi's voice was obviously filled with anger as she loudly refuted: "Is this what you call 'destiny'?"
Although her voice was loud, it was inexplicably mixed with a hint of panic, like a little girl whose secret was revealed, and who instead felt a little ashamed and angry.
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I am only responsible for conveying it." Uesugi Yue spread his hands indifferently and said, "My mission has been completed. Please allow me to say goodbye to you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
But someone suddenly broke into Nibelungen and told Xia Mi about his destiny. This was almost a provocative behavior. How could Xia Mi let him go easily?
"stop!"
Xia Mi's golden eyes lit up, as if burning with flames.
With a shout, the entire tunnel seemed to tremble under its majesty, the cracks on the rock wall spread out in all directions, pieces of rubble fell, and dust filled the air.
"Come as you like and leave as you like. What do you think this place is?" The girl's dazzling golden eyes revealed unspeakable majesty. A majestic and vast aura surged out like a landslide or tsunami, filling every corner of the tunnel, as if several huge mountains were pressing down on her.
Facing a Dragon King head-on, even in an incomplete state, the almost tangible spiritual oppression was enough to make Uesugi Yue feel even more stressed.
“I knew it would turn out like this.” Shang Shanyue exhaled a breath of foul air, his whole body seemed to be squeezed, and his golden pupils were unconsciously lit up, but under the suppression of the Dragon King’s spiritual field, the bright and dazzling golden color in the past has now become a little dim: “Respected King of the Earth and Mountains, I have no intention of offending you.”
"Who sent you? Tell me who's behind you!"
Xia Mi's eyes were sharp. She needed to know who was planning all this behind the scenes!
If looks could kill, then Uesugi Yue felt that he would probably be cut into pieces. Although he would not die, the Dragon King's golden eyes had a real suppressive effect on the hybrids.
The air around him was almost solidified into gel. The huge spiritual pressure made him feel as if he was in the deep sea ten thousand meters deep. His bones, muscles, nerves, and even every hair were desperately sending out warnings, wailing hysterically in fear.
This is not the fake 'Odin' from last time, but a living 'Dragon King'!
Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This job was too dangerous. He would have to deal with the Dragon King at every turn. If he had known it would be like this, he would have rather died in the sea.
However, despite his complaints, he still planned to avoid fighting as much as possible. He coughed and said, "Dear Miss Dragon King, I'm sorry that I can't tell you who it is, but I think it won't be long before you meet our Lord. If you have any questions, you can ask him in person."
"is it?"
Xia Mi's slender figure was hidden in the darkness. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice. She smiled coldly, "If that's the case, then you should stay here and wait for your master to come over. Then you can leave."
She wanted to see who was hiding behind the scenes and playing tricks!
"goodbye!"
Uesugi Yue turned around and ran without hesitation.
Although Nibelungen is the alchemical domain of the Dragon King, it would be impossible to break out under normal circumstances, but he still has some "trump cards".
However, Xia Mi seemed to have guessed it long ago. Her eyes were indifferent and her gentle call echoed in the tunnel.
"Fenrir!"
