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

"Then it seems it has always been here."

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

"Let's go inside and investigate."

He was about to reach out and try to push open the small door in front of him when Uesugi Koshi stopped him.

Just as he was slightly puzzled, Uesugi Kotetsu reached out and placed his palm on the door frame.

crackling-

Next second,

The entire gate shattered in the middle like a snowflake, scattering across the ground.

The intrusion alarm went off the moment the door was broken.

However, the alarm wasn't the kind that echoed throughout the entire villa. At that moment, Toyokawa Sadaharu was in his study when he received the news of the basement being invaded.

But he merely feigned helplessness, pretending not to know, while his resentment only intensified.

"Kassel College... is really pushing its luck."

Toyokawa Sadaharu knew that with his strength, it was impossible for him to defeat Uesugi Koshi and Nagumo Ugetsu.

Moreover, with the two of them working together, he had no chance to resist at all and could only stay in the study, waiting for them to leave.

at the same time,

Nan Yun Yuyue was shocked to see the shattered door frame lying on the ground.

"That level of power..."

He clearly didn't feel any force in Uesugi Kotsu's movements, but the door frame in front of him couldn't withstand the hidden force he used.

If he were asked to break down the door in front of him, he simply couldn't do it to that extent.

"It's just a simple technique for generating power, nothing to mention."

“When your swordsmanship skills improve in the future, I will naturally pass this on to you.”

Uesugi Kotsushi pulled his right hand back in front of him and then said.

Nan Yun Yu Yue has also activated her Word of Power, covering the entire basement area:

"There's nothing going on outside for now, let's go deeper inside."

Uesugi Kotsushi stepped inside first, shielding the two behind him.

Toyokawa Shoko kept looking into the basement of the villa, while recalling its layout.

"It does seem like there have been some changes... but only in a few decorations."

She walked slowly, her mind in turmoil.

"We need to go deeper into the shadows detected by 'discipline'."

"Xiang, your basement is indeed quite large."

Nan Yun Yuyue sighed.

“My grandfather said that the basement was rebuilt to the standards of an air-raid shelter because of the war. Many of the facilities inside have been preserved to this day, which is why it looks so big.”

Shoko Toyokawa explained.

Step—step—step

The three of them went deeper into the area.

Soon, the iconic building of the basement came into view.

—An empty swimming pool.

The place looks exactly as Toyokawa Shoko described before; it seems that nothing has changed over the years.

"I do remember this place."

Shoko Toyokawa recalled.

"However, it seems that it was never filled with water from beginning to end. In my memory, it was always empty."

Nan Yunyu did not answer. He walked to the edge of the pool and reached out to touch it.

It's very clean, without any of the feeling of being covered in dust from not being wiped for a long time; it just feels like normal ceramic tile.

"When the maids in the old Furukawa Garden are cleaning, do they clean the basement?"

Nan Yun Yuyue asked.

"will not."

Seeing his earlier action, Toyokawa Shoko also bent down and touched the edge of the pool.

“Generally speaking, basements are rarely cleaned. The maids in the house are mostly responsible for the floors above ground, and the dust in the basement is often not cleaned even once every two or three years.”

"But the inside of this swimming pool is so clean, there must be something wrong with it."

At this point, a hint of surprise appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

Could this place be related to what we're looking for?

"Let's take another look inside."

Uesugi Kotsuya was also taking in the scene inside the basement.

As the former patriarch of the Snake Clan, he was always knowledgeable and experienced. If the layout here was indeed related to dragons and alchemy, he would definitely be able to detect the clues.

"The setup is quite ordinary... Some areas were indeed specially reinforced when we arrived, but there were no traces of alchemy."

"It should still be inside."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

Deep down, he also harbored profound doubts.

"Does the bloodline advancement ceremony require such a small space? I thought the entire basement would be the advancement venue."

Then he changed his mind:

"The Nibelungen Project at Kassel College does not seem to take up much space."

"Although the 'ice cellar' storing the dragon bones occupies a considerable area, Lu Mingfei's improvement in strength at that time was mainly due to his training, not because he directly achieved a successful improvement after completing the ritual,"

"Therefore, the bloodline advancement ceremony should not have much to do with the area occupied."

"Let's leave the pool first, and then walk further in along the edge of the passageway."

Uesugi Road.

Nanon Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

At the other end of the pool, there is a passageway symmetrical to the one we came by.

The three of them had only been inside for a short while when they heard what sounded like wind coming from inside.

Swah——

Is it the wind?

Generally speaking, if the ventilation opening is directly connected to the outside and the structure is relatively open, wind noise may be generated.

But at this moment, while exploring the basement, Toyokawa Shoko was actually quite nervous.

She kept recalling the few times she had come to the basement in the past, but those memories were too distant, and some of the details she occasionally recalled could not be matched with the present, so she became even more uneasy.

“My words told me that the detected shadow was at the second left turn ahead.”

Nanyun Yuyue said.

"That should be a room in a basement."

"What we're looking for should be inside."

"Let's go."

Uesugi Kotsushi remained completely calm.

As the oldest inheritor of the 'royal bloodline', he has absolute confidence in his ability to handle any crisis that may arise.

He was more curious about the things hidden in the old Furukawa Garden than anything that could harm him.

He glanced at the distance between the two people and then stepped into the passage on the other side first.

"Oh?"

Uesugi raised his eyebrows.

This place was completely different from when he arrived.

"The presence of elemental aggregation suggests the presence of an alchemical array nearby, or perhaps a being with such elemental authority is in the vicinity."

“But apart from the three of us, there are no other living beings here. Combining this with what Xiangzi’s grandfather said earlier… it should be the dragon bones.”

Uesugi explained to the two of them.

Alchemy arrays can indeed concentrate a certain element in a large quantity in one location, but no trace of that element can be detected in places not far away.

The domain of 'Discipline' also sensed this, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on Nan Yun Youyue's face.

"What a strange sense of gathering."

One second, two seconds, three seconds;

Ten seconds, half a minute, one minute...

The feeling of 'discipline' growing stronger, Nanon Ugetsu knew that she had reached the location of the shadow, so she stopped.

"right here."

The three of them stood together at the doorway.

The door frame in front of us is different from the rest of the decorations. It is decorated with some unintelligible patterns, and we don’t know what they represent.

The surrounding area was a dark passageway, and the distance was pitch black, with not a single ray of light penetrating out.

There are no door handles.

Toyokawa Shoko reminded him.

Unexpectedly, before the words were even finished,

suddenly,

At the end of the passage, a golden light appeared.

It was pure gold, as if it had been refined by an ancient fire, so solid that it was free of any impurities.

A heavy sense of majesty emanated from his eyes, spreading a faint halo that illuminated the surrounding dust and even made the walls seem tinged with a sense of solemnity.

"Oh? They're finally out."

Uesugi laughed.

"However, it doesn't look like a physical entity; it's more like a projection of spiritual elements."

The 'royal blood' granted him extraordinary perception, allowing him to see through the mystery at a glance.

Nan Yun Yuyue nodded as well.

Under the cover of the "Discipline" domain, he did not sense any sudden appearance of anything, but only felt a pressure opposing his domain.

"His spiritual energy is very strong... He must be a descendant of the White King."

Nan Yun Youyue speculated.

The 'White King' is the master of the spiritual element, and all dragons of the White King's bloodline are slightly stronger in spiritual power.

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity from the golden eye projection she had just seen.

Moreover, this feeling was strangely similar to the call she received when she composed the score for "Spring Day Shadow" in the old Furukawa Garden.

"It's also a bit like the feeling I had during my first band performance."

Once you experience this feeling, you'll never forget it, which is why Toyokawa Shoko reacted so quickly.

Uesugi Kotsuki said calmly:
