We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

The Word of Power activated by the 'Royal Blood'... Even though Uesugi Etsu hasn't used the 'Black Sun' for a long time, Nagumo Ugetsu knows it would be difficult for him to escape.

now,

In the church,

Uesugi Kotsu looked at the two of them with a serious expression. He did not activate his golden eyes, but the aura he released was getting stronger and stronger. This former emperor of the Snake Clan once again fully revealed his majesty.

Toyokawa Shoko grew increasingly nervous.

She had never seen such an imposing aura emanating from anyone else.

She recalled countless Japanese political and business figures she had seen in the old Furukawa Garden, but no matter their positions, none of them could match the aura of the community pastor before her.

Furthermore, in today's Japanese society where serious issues are often trivialized, Toyokawa Shoko simply cannot imagine any other leader in Japan who still possesses such authority.

But now, this being seems somewhat dissatisfied.

The atmosphere in the air became somewhat stagnant for a moment.

As originally planned, the church was supposed to hold a special graduation ceremony tonight for the graduates of the University of Tokyo, featuring a Catholic worship service.

The church roof is still adorned with farewell decorations, and the atmosphere, which should have been relaxed, feels oppressive at this moment.

Under Uesugi Etsu's gaze, Nagumo Ugetsu paused for two seconds, then took out a piece of paper from her pocket.

The letter paper was covered with flowing, vigorous handwriting. Although the paper looked a bit old, the writing was still very clear.

Nagumo Ugetsu turned the letter around and handed it to Uesugi Kotsuki.

As Uesugi Koshi reached out to take the letter and looked down at it, he began to explain:

"Not long ago, the Inuyama family's agency bought the rights to the light novel I wrote in the past."

"I went to the brokerage firm's office building because I needed to sign a contract."

"Everything was going smoothly until after the contract was signed, when the building was suddenly attacked by the Ghost Clan. Out-of-control hybrids attacked the place."

"Finally, I used my Word of Power to successfully kill the invading hybrid, and then I unexpectedly discovered a hidden compartment in the building."

"That compartment contains many files about the Inuyama family and some of the Hebi-hachi family, and most importantly, a scroll called 'Imperial Records'."

"It was from that hidden compartment that I saw this letter."

He tried his best to explain the situation in detail in order to dispel Uesugi Koshi's doubts.

Uesugi Kotsushi's gaze remained fixed on the letter; he did not look up.

"Was the Inuyama family's territory bombed by a rocket launcher that day by that invading Oni-shu hybrid?"

“No.” Nan Yunyu shook her head. “The person who bombed the building with a rocket launcher was someone else. I guess he is most likely a high-ranking member of the Ghost Clan, but I don’t know his specific identity.”

"I see. If that's the case, then it makes sense."

Uesugi sighed.

He never dreamed that the discovery of his identity would be caused by him.

From his perspective, it was he who sent Inuyama He a text message recommending Nagumo Ugetsu's book that led Nagumo Ugetsu to go to the Inuyama family's brokerage building, encounter the Oni Clan's attack, and discover the letter left by Inuyama He.

All of this seemed to be divine intervention, as if it were all part of the universe.

Uesugi Koshi recalled what he had said to Toyokawa Shoko that morning about the Bible.

Could it be that all of this is the Lord's guidance?

As his emotions continued to churn, he continued to read Inuyama He's comment below, word by word.

The preceding events brought back memories of the past. That day, filled with overwhelming rage, he burned down his family's shrine and destroyed everything inside.

After doing all this, he took many swords and knives enshrined in the shrine and left that place forever.

This memory had been buried in his heart for a long time, so long that he would only slowly savor it when he drank alone late at night.

At this moment, as Uesugi saw the contents of Inuyama's congratulatory letter, it felt as if he had returned to that day.

It was as if he were standing in front of a shrine surrounded by raging flames, his face contorted as he stared at the burning houses, while the boy, who was only a teenager at the time, stood timidly beside him, holding a stick of kerosene to help it burn.

Uesugi Kotsushi only remembered that he was completely consumed by rage at the time, and he didn't know when Inuyama He had hidden a portion of the "Imperial Chronicles" scroll.

However, he didn't care about this trivial matter. Although the history recorded on those scrolls was secret, as Inuyama He said in his letter, it was just "toilet paper." If it was preserved, so be it, as long as no one else could see it.

Uesugi Eishi read this letter very slowly, so much so that even after Nagumo Ugetsu finished speaking, he was still slowly browsing through the following contents:

Once it's closed, the conditions for reopening it are extremely stringent; only those with a bloodline rank of 'Emperor' can reopen it.

!!!

Uesugi Kotsushi had lost count of how many unexpected shocks he had experienced tonight.

He stared intently at the handwriting on Inuyama's congratulatory letter, completely unable to believe what was written there.

What Nanon Ugetsu saw was originally stored in this kind of box?

As the former head of the Snake Clan, Uesugi Kotsugu was naturally aware that his family kept a batch of alchemy boxes.

In fact, the Imperial Records were originally placed there and kept in the family shrine.

One day, when he had nothing to do, he took it out and prepared to slowly flip through it like a historical story.

However, the Imperial Records were written in Old Japanese, and for Uesugi Koshi, who had grown up in France, the text was far too obscure and difficult to understand.

So he casually tossed these things onto the shrine's table.

Because he had specifically instructed the women who had been assigned by the family, the scrolls were never put back into the alchemy box until they were either burned in a fire or rescued by Inuyama He.

There are many of these alchemy chests in the Snake Clan, at least the original three upper families each had at least two or three, used to store things that the heads of the families of each generation needed to preserve.

The other five families did have such alchemy boxes, most of which were bestowed by the 'emperor' of the Snake Clan in history who was skilled in weapon crafting, but there were not many in total. Unexpectedly, one of them happened to be in the hands of the Inuyama family.

Uesugi Kotsuki originally thought that given the current state of the Snake Clan, such boxes should have been swept into the trash heap long ago because no one could open them.

Unexpectedly, a hybrid species capable of unlocking it has now appeared.

"A curse..."

Uesugi Kotsushi murmured.

His wrist was still trembling slightly, causing the letter to shake and make a soft rustling sound, until the edges of the paper were crumpled and curled up.

Royal blood... shouldn't it be on his body, and that means it's all over?

Uesugi Kotsugi looked astonished, his face filled with disbelief.

He raised his head and looked at Nan Yunyuyue.

Nagumo Ugetsu assumed that Uesugi Kotsuki had already finished reading the above content and was preparing to hear what he had to say.

But the next moment, a blazing golden light suddenly shone in Uesugi Kotetsu's eyes.

Within his golden eyes, a sinister blackness swirled, and the golden light bursting forth from it was extremely violent, as if a monarch had descended and was looking down upon his subjects.

This is the Golden Eye awakened by the previous 'Emperor'. Its power is so great that it can even make low-level hybrids kneel down.

Shoko Toyokawa had been listening to their conversation, and the more she listened, the more shocked she became.

Her gaze swept over Uesugi Kotsuki and Nagumo Ugetsu's faces, but in the already oppressive atmosphere of the church, she didn't dare to utter a single word.

She had no idea that Uesugi Kotsushi would suddenly activate his Golden Eyes, and then she was caught off guard and stared into them.

The next moment, an instinctive fear rose in her heart.

This fear is like that of a creature at the bottom of the food chain, being watched by a predator at the top.

For a moment, Toyokawa Shoko almost thought the priest in front of her was a dragon.

“My father once said that, according to the classification of Kassel College, my bloodline is at least A-level.”

"And the aura released by this old man... just how high has his bloodline reached?"

When Uesugi Kotsushi truly revealed his imposing presence, Toyokawa Shoko realized how ridiculous her past speculations about the old man's lineage had been.

She had only recently activated her 'spiritual vision' and her bloodline had been stimulated, making her no match for an old monster like Uesugi Kotetsu who had lived for decades.

Under the suppression of the 'royal blood,' the shock she felt was no less than when she met Odin on the overpass on a rainy night.

Toyokawa Shoko immediately became extremely nervous.

At that moment, Nangumo Ugetsu met Uesugi Etsu's eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Nan Yun Yuyue ignited her golden eyes.

wow——

An aura of equal power emanated from him.

However, compared to the tyranny emanating from Uesugi Kotsuki's Golden Eyes, Nagumo Ugetsu's pupils held a depth as unfathomable as the ocean.

The two auras collided, causing the candlelight in the church to tremble.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Uesugi Kotsushi's shock grew stronger and stronger.

Judging from the aura released by the Golden Eyes, although Nan Yun Yu Yue is still some distance behind him, her bloodline rank clearly indicates that she is on the same level as him.

Royal blood!

It really is royal blood!

For some reason, Uesugi Etsu, who had been trying to prevent the royal bloodline from continuing to spread, felt a sense of relief and liberation when he confirmed that another royal bloodline inheritor like himself had appeared in the world.

He extinguished his golden eyes and returned the letter to Nan Yun Yuyue.

His aura vanished in an instant, and he reverted to his former demeanor as a kind community pastor.

Uesugi Kotsugu let out a long sigh.

"Ugh."

He suddenly felt that he was really old. He had known Nan Yunyu for so long, but he had never realized that he was a mixed-race person who inherited royal blood.

Nan Yun Yu Yue also extinguished her golden eyes.

Inside the church, the tense and oppressive atmosphere immediately lessened, becoming completely quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Royal blood... and this girl is also a high-level hybrid.

Uesugi Koshi pondered for a long time.

When Nan Yun Yuyue was telling him about meeting Odin in Nibelungen, she also mentioned that the girl's father had once wanted to send her to the Kassel College.

Kassel College...

In his era, the Snake Clan not only had absolute control over the underworld, but their influence also permeated every aspect of Japan.

All the promising mixed-race individuals are raised within their families from childhood to adulthood, and have never even considered studying at Kassel College.

It wasn't until after World War II that the Snake Clan suffered a heavy blow and had to face the power of the European mixed-race people they had previously looked down upon.

With the idea of ​​returning after completing their studies and revitalizing their family, the Snake Clan began sending people to Kassel College for exchanges every year.

However... this decision was also largely influenced by the establishment of a Japanese branch of Kassel College, but the Snake Clan has always been unwilling to admit this somewhat humiliating fact.

As the previous generation's 'Emperor', Uesugi Kotsugu acknowledged Angers' strength, but he was unwilling for 'Royal Blood' and high-ranking hybrids like Toyokawa Shoko to fall into the hands of Kassel College.

“Your difficulties are indeed very challenging.”

Uesugi Road.

He looked at Nan Yunyuyue meaningfully.

"Nagamo-kun, I've thought about this for a long time and I think I have a good solution. You can listen to it first and then make a decision."

"Simply put, it means that I will write a personal letter to Inuyama He, telling him that you are the inheritor of the 'royal bloodline'."

"According to the family rules that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, the patriarch must be a descendant of the imperial bloodline."

"And now the head of the Snake Clan... hehe, he definitely doesn't have royal blood, so the rightful place is clearly yours."

"Once you take control of the entire family, you can naturally deal with those traitors... And with the full support of the entire Serpent Clan, a Dragon King-level being will one day be strong enough to deal with the 'Mark'."

"After all, you're still so young, and your understanding of Word Magic is still quite rudimentary,"

"With the nurturing experience of the Snake Clan over the past thousand years, even an auxiliary Word of Power like 'Discipline' can unleash combat power far exceeding that of other high-level hybrids in actual combat."

He paused for two seconds, then continued:

"Of course, you don't need to worry about certain people at all. If you really have concerns, I will personally go to Genji Heavy Industries and give those juniors a lesson."
