From Hokage to Visionary

Then, his eyes went dark and the accumulated pain rushed up to his head all at once, causing him to pass out from the pain.

"Lu Mingfei!"

"Lu Mingfei!"

"elder brother!"

Before he fell into complete darkness, he seemed to hear a familiar voice.

But, he is so tired. Let him have a rest.

The darkness completely devoured his consciousness, and he fell into endless nothingness and lost all perception.

Zaratul looked at Pompey and said calmly: "What are you going to do next?"

Pompey used all his strength to pull out the Lust that had pierced his heart. Blood immediately gushed out like a fountain. His face was twisted in pain, and he growled fiercely, "When will I be summoned next time?"

"Ok?"

Zaratul looked at him in surprise and said in a surprised tone: "In your current state, I don't think you can succeed."

"Heh, this level of injury can't kill me!"

Pompey sneered, staring at the lust in his hand, his eyes becoming more gloomy: “Lu Mingfei is actually the Black King, I didn’t expect this.”

"so what?"

Zaratul lowered his eyes, a ripple flashing quietly in his pupils.

Without Pompey's awareness, an idea rooted deep in his soul suddenly began to multiply and occupy his brain.

However, in Pompeii's own view, it was more like a 'flash of inspiration'.

"It doesn't matter, he's not whole yet!"

Pompey weighed the lust in his hand and grinned, "I need your help, Zaratul."

"You should know that although we are closer to the 'King in Yellow', we are also subject to certain restrictions." Zaratul stated the reason he had already thought of, and said lightly: "If you are asking me to help, I may disappoint you."

"That Twilight Hermit Order again?"

Pompey frowned. He had heard from Zaratul that this organization had always been against them.

The reason why Zaratul and others were unable to move freely was because they were restricted by the 'Twilight Hermit Order'. It was said that there was a mysterious existence who secretly blocked the secret order's attempt to perform the ritual to summon the Yellow King!

However, that group of people seemed to be subject to some kind of restrictions and could not move freely in the human world, which led to Zaratul looking for him to be his spokesperson to complete the summoning ceremony.

"good."

Zaratul nodded calmly and said, "Last time, I already attracted their attention. I must be careful."

"It's okay, I don't need you to do anything."

Pompey's eyes were filled with strong desire and greed, and he said in a deep voice: "I need you to help me find the trace of the 'King of Ocean and Water'!"

He thought of a way to defeat the now crippled Black King!

That is to devour the dragon bones of their own kind and usurp the authority that belongs to them!

"How about it?"

Pompey looked at Zaratul.

After a short silence of half a second, Zaratul slowly said: "Yes, it's easy."

Looking at Pompey who was gradually falling into madness, a strange and unpredictable smile appeared on his bearded face under the hood.

Great, that went according to plan.

Pompeii has taken the bait, now just waiting for the right opportunity!

"Oh, I almost forgot something important."

Zaratul pulled out a bottle of potion from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a Sequence 4 potion, Disaster Priest!"

"Now?"

Pompey was a little surprised, but the temptation from his instinct made him subconsciously take the bottle of potion.

"Not now, wait until you devour the 'King of Ocean and Water', then drink it."

Zaratul smiled slightly and said: "By then, you will truly be free from mortal bones and step half a foot into the [Realm of God]!"

Chapter 406 Xia Mi's Fate

When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again, the white ceiling came into view.

After his brain restarted and there was a few seconds of confusion, he soon realized that he was lying in the ward.

"Are you awake?"

At this moment, a voice came from the bed next door.

Lu Mingfei was about to sit up when he felt sore all over, as if he had been beaten by a hundred people in turn. He couldn't help but gasp.

"You are seriously injured. 80% of your muscles are torn and 60% of your bones are broken. Even the doctor said that it is a miracle that you are still alive." The person next to him said, "Just lie down. You won't be able to move on your own for at least three to five days."

"Ah? What should I do if I need to go to the bathroom?!"

Lu Mingfei’s train of thought was indeed unusual, and the first thing that popped into his mind was a strange plot from a certain island country.

"There are ureters."

The person in the next bed obviously couldn't have guessed that his head was full of yellow garbage.

"Oh"

Lu Mingfei felt a little disappointed for some reason. He turned his head and looked at the next door, hesitating to say: "Brother Chu, you..."

He saw that the person lying on the bed next to him was wrapped in bandages all over his body. He looked almost like a mummy that had just been unearthed, and his limbs were fixed up. He looked much more miserable than him.

"What happened after I fell unconscious?"

Chu Zihang, who was tied up, could only move his eyes with difficulty. He glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked.

"I'm sorry, I failed."

Memories came flooding back, and Lu Mingfei looked downcast: "I defeated Odin, but he was rescued by someone who suddenly appeared. I was powerless."

"You didn't fail, you did a great job." Chu Zihang said seriously: "You successfully stopped Pompeii's conspiracy, prevented the summoning ceremony from taking place, and saved me, Chen Motong, and Xia Mi."

"But Lu Mingze is dead."

Lu Mingfei spoke softly in a voice that only he could hear.

"what?"

Chu Zihang didn't hear clearly, he just thought he muttered something, so he asked.

"No, it's nothing."

Lu Mingfei calmed down his emotions and shook his head, saying, "I think Pompey will not give up so easily. He will definitely hold the summoning ceremony again."

"The principal has reported this matter to the school board." Chu Zihang paused, and then said, "With Caesar's testimony and various evidences, the entire mixed-blood secret party will soon unite to track down Pompey's whereabouts. He has nowhere to hide."

"Where are Nuonuo and Xia Mi?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

Chu Zihang was silent, which was quite rare.

"what happened?"

Seeing him silent, Lu Mingfei immediately had a bad guess and asked anxiously: "Brother, how are Nuonuo and Xia Mi? Are they okay?"

"Don't worry, they are fine."

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did you know about Xia Mi's affairs a long time ago?"

"Uh"

Lu Mingfei's expression was stiff and he didn't know what to say.

"It seems like you should know." Chu Zihang sighed, his voice full of indescribable loneliness, as if talking to himself: "In fact, I was not completely unconscious at that time. I vaguely heard Odin's words that Xia Mi was actually the Dragon King."

“Brother, actually…” Lu Mingfei really wanted to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn’t know how to persuade him.

"I understand what you mean."

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes and said without any emotion: "The principal will discuss this matter with the school board."

At this moment, in the basement of Kassel College, inside several tightly sealed cages.

Since Xia Mi's identity was exposed, she was eventually transferred to a safe place under Schneider's strict request.

That is, a prison specially built for it, with an area large enough to accommodate normal people and equipped with all daily necessities, but at the same time it is filled with monitoring equipment and blocked by an alloy door weighing dozens of tons. It even has high-voltage currents, alchemical mercury sprays, etc., which are traps specially set to restrain dragons.

As for Xia Mi herself, all four limbs were locked with alchemical shackles to control her range of movement, and monitoring equipment was installed inside each shackle.

Once it is detected that I have the intention to escape, the explosive device will be activated immediately, with enough power to crush the Dragon King's limbs.

If it weren't for the principal's opinion, Schneider would have even planned to use alchemical torture instruments to pierce Xia Mi's collarbone, sever the tendons of her limbs, and then soak her in mercury before he could feel at ease.

Xia Mi was dressed neatly and cleanly, with a simple ponytail, and sat cross-legged in the prison.

The heavy gates were opened one by one, and the sound of footsteps came from far away.

She opened her eyes and looked at the person who came.

"I didn't expect that the second time we met, it would be like this."

The old man stared at Xia Mi in the prison and said calmly.

It seemed that her identity was finally exposed. She no longer pretended. Although she was in prison, she still looked like a king sitting upright. Her eyes were full of majesty. She looked at the old man in a suit and leather shoes outside the fence with high voltage electricity and said calmly, "Have you decided what to do with me?"

The old man with silver-white hair combed neatly back and dressed in a well-ironed suit was none other than the principal of Kassel, the greatest dragon slayer in history, Hilbert Jean Angers.

"Almost the same. The school board's opinions are relatively unanimous."

Ange lit a cigar, put it to his lips and smoked it, and said lightly: "Xiami, King of the Earth and Mountains, Jörmungandr you will be sentenced to death."

This result was obviously expected by Xia Mi.

He showed neither surprise nor fear of death. He behaved calmly from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about anything.

He is the Dragon King, one of the four great monarchs, and the mortal enemy of mankind. The seeds of conflict between the two sides were planted thousands of years ago and can never be changed.

This war will only end when one side is completely wiped out.

"Oh when?"

Xia Mi thought about it and still wanted to ask when it would end.

"Probably, in a few days."

Ange held the cigar, flicked off the ash, and answered calmly.

Xia Mi lowered her eyes and fell into silence for a long time.

"Nothing you want to say?"

Angers exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly: "I can convey it for you, for example, Chu Zihang?"

Chu Zihang. These three words were like a huge rock thrown into the lake, causing ripples in Xia Mi's heart.

Her eyes struggled for a moment, and the most beautiful time seemed to appear in her mind, but in the end she sighed softly, shook her head silently, and said: "No, it's not necessary, you don't need to tell him anything, it's good like this."

"Do you think that dragons and humans can coexist peacefully?"

Suddenly, Ange looked at her meaningfully and asked an incredible question.

"I do not know."

Xia Mi looked confused, lowered her head, looked at her hands, and said as if talking to herself: "In fact, I never intended to hurt anyone. Even if I joined the academy, I just wanted to steal Norton's dragon bone cross. I just wanted to live. Does this count as being an enemy of humans?"

"Not counting."

Angers blew out a smoke ring and grinned, "By the way, let me correct you. The Norton's dragon bone cross is a gift from me to you. It can't be called stealing."

"Can I ask why?" Xia Mi looked at the old man seriously.

She couldn't figure out this matter from beginning to end. What was Angé's purpose in handing over the most precious remains of a dragon king to another dragon king who was hostile to humans?

Could it be that the greatest dragon slayer in history is actually the 'Dragon King'?
