Chapter 179 Top Alchemy
Kassel Academy, Executive Department.
Schneider looked at the latest information handed over by his secretary, frowned, and dialed a number.
"Hello?" The old man's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, with a gentleman's tone: "Professor Schneider, what's the matter?"
"Principal, there seems to be some unusual movement over at China Three Gorges."
Schneider looked at the data on the file and spoke hesitantly, "The data records show that there seem to be small underwater earthquakes there in the past few days. People on the shore can hardly feel the tremors, but the underwater world has been turned upside down."
“Have you detected any rise in water temperature?”
"No." Schneider paused for a moment and spoke carefully, "But the data shows that the frequency of earthquakes during this period is enough to turn the entire bottom of the water over, as if something huge is turning over in it."
"Professor Schneider, have you heard of earth dragons?" Angé suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Earth dragon?" Schneider was stunned: "What is that?"
"According to ancient Chinese superstition, they believed that earthquakes were caused by a huge dragon turning over underground, so they were also called earth dragon turning over."
"Principal, do you mean that there is an underground dragon turning over under the Three Gorges?" Schneider asked with a frown.
"No, there are no earth dragons in this world. The only one who exists is the monarch who controls the earth and the mountains."
"But isn't the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire under the Three Gorges? Why is it related to the King of Earth and Mountains?" Schneider said, "But it may just be an accident. The current data cannot indicate that it is related to the monarch. It may just be the turmoil caused by the Bronze City."
"Maybe. Send someone to check the situation. Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we must find out what's going on."
"Yes!"
At this point, Schneider paused. Angers noticed his hesitation and asked, "Anything else, Professor Schneider?"
"It's okay." Schneider finally said.
The call was hung up and Schneider sighed deeply.
Not long ago, there seemed to be some unusual movements in Japan, but the elemental turbulence came and went quickly, and it disappeared before the academy could capture it. Schneider didn't know whether the person in charge of monitoring had seen it wrong.
Thinking about the pressure the principal had been facing from the school board recently, Schneider decided not to tell anyone about this seemingly true news. He just ordered people to keep a close eye on Japan and report any unusual movements immediately.
But there was no further incidents afterwards, as if the previous abnormality was just an illusion for the person monitoring it.
……
Yuan Zhinu once again lay in the familiar ward.
In fact, she felt that it was unnecessary, because the wounds caused by Xia Mi recovered quickly. To a certain extent, with the improvement of her bloodline, her self-healing ability has indeed reached the level of the first generation.
But the wound caused by Leviathan, which had lasted for so long and finally started to scab over, broke open again. It looked like a lot of blood had been shed, and in fact a lot of blood had been shed.
However, the body produced new blood the moment the blood was lost, so the amount of bleeding that could almost turn a person into a dried corpse did not have much impact on her.
But this time, even Uesugi Yue and Minamoto Chisei didn't speak up for her and almost forced her into the hospital.
Yuan Zhinu felt a little guilty and did not resist. The pain blocking did not cause her any pain, but she was indeed much weaker, so it was necessary for her to take a rest.
So she was always sleeping, and every time she woke up there was a different person sitting beside her bed, sometimes it was Uesugi Yue, sometimes it was Genchisei and Eri, sometimes it was them all together, but most of the time it was Sakurai Kogure.
Almost whenever Yuan Zhinv opened her eyes, she could always see that slender figure, but she didn't say anything. She just quietly did her own thing in the ward, as if this was her office.
Yuan Zhinv was too lazy to speak, and the two of them got along in silence, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.
She knew that Sakurai Kogure must be angry, angry that she left without saying goodbye and acted on her own initiative, but she was also worried about her injuries, so she had to take care of her even though she was angry, and silence represented her emotions.
This kind of thing has happened before, when they were still in the Demon Clan. It was at the beginning of the three years, and Genji had not yet grown to the point where she could ignore the control of the King, so she inevitably had to carry out some tasks.
In order to force her to grow up, the man prepared almost impossible tasks for her, almost life-threatening ones. At that time, the friendship between the two girls had been initially established. In order not to worry Sakurai Kogure, Gen Chijo always left secretly.
Yuan Zhisheng blamed her for not wanting to believe them, but that was just a habit. Yuan Zhinu was used to facing everything alone and accomplishing things that seemed impossible to others.
She was not that strong at that time, so every time she came back covered in bruises, Sakurai Kogure would take care of her silently, feeling angry and distressed.
And Yuan Zhinu has long been accustomed to such company.
Until one day, she opened her eyes again, but did not see the familiar figure, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
But she soon saw an unexpected person.
The man in the white robe stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window quietly, his eyes calm and far-reaching.
The man did not turn around, but he seemed to have eyes on his back. He spoke calmly the moment Yuan Zhinv opened her eyes.
"you're awake."
Yuan Zhinu blinked her eyes, her voice still a little hoarse: "You are back from China?"
The man turned around, his eyes were so deep, like an unbottomed pool, Yuan Zhinu could even see her own reflection in them.
"I'm surprised," Norton said, "that you can still make yourself so embarrassed with Constantine around."
"I think you have to take full responsibility for this." Yuan Zhinv said calmly, "Excuse me, will you die or something if you explain yourself clearly?"
Norton had a confused expression on his face. He seemed unable to understand why some people didn't understand what he had said so clearly.
However, looking at the miserable appearance of the girl, he finally decided to ignore this and walked to the bedside. He said in a flat tone: "Stretch out your hand."
Genji didn't understand why, but she still reached out her hand.
Then she saw a few drops of blood flowing out of Norton's fingertips. The man was drawing something in her palm out of thin air. As he was writing, strange symbols appeared on her skin one after another inexplicably.
Finally, the man clenched his fist in the air, and those symbols composed of faint golden blood trembled and all sank into the skin of the source girl, leaving no trace.
At the same time, the wound on her chest, which had been numb all the time, slowly began to warm up. It was healing rapidly, and Yuan Zhinu could even feel her flesh and blood being reorganized, the holes being filled, and the new skin being as delicate as a baby's.
The feeling of heart leaking finally disappeared, and Gen Chinu was very surprised.
"What is this?" Yuan Zhinv asked puzzledly. She remembered that Norton said he couldn't heal injuries.
"Alchemy." Norton said concisely: "I studied the alchemy matrix in your body that enhances your bloodline and found a new use."
As he spoke, he moved his fingers slightly, and a new, complex golden-red symbol appeared on Yuan Zhinv's forehead. As this symbol appeared, Norton's face turned visibly paler.
Yuan Zhinu only felt the warmth in her chest spreading throughout her body, and the full power permeated every part of her limbs.
"I have improved the alchemical matrix in your body." Norton said, "When you use your full strength again, you can temporarily reach the power of the first generation."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Zhinv's eyes widened in surprise.
No one knows better than her the difficulty of improving bloodline, especially the last section where the second generation breaks through the first generation. It is almost impossible to break through. In Yuan Zhinu's estimation, it may take a long time.
But now, it can be solved with just one alchemy?
Even if it is only temporary to gain the power of the first generation, this enhancement is no small matter.
Before she could finish being surprised, Norton waved his hand and a scarlet long sword appeared out of thin air. Yuan Zhinu recognized it as the one she was used to using.
But this knife was a little different now. It was made of top-level alchemical technology and could absorb blood and become stronger through killing. However, as more people were killed, the bloody smell wafting from the knife became stronger and stronger. In the end, as soon as the knife was drawn, it felt like being in a sea of blood and corpses.
But now the smell of blood is gone, and the red seems to be even brighter, as if one would get burned just by looking at it.
"During the time you were asleep, I refined your sword." Norton said the most important words in the calmest tone: "This sword is already very powerful, but it is still not enough when facing the Dragon King."
“So I incorporated the seven deadly sins.”
Yuan Zhinv was stunned, and for a moment her expression was as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Norton raised his lips slightly, but the flashing emotion in his eyes was something that Yuan Zhinv could not understand. He spoke softly, as if sighing: "Jörmungandr reminded me, so I went back to Bronze City."
"I need some of the materials there to melt down the seven deadly sins."
"Why do you want to do this?" Yuan Zhinv asked softly, "What did Jörmungandr remind you of?"
"She couldn't bear to eat her brother, so she wanted to devour the dragon bones of other kings."
Yuan Zhinv understood: "So you want to do this too, but you can't kill the other dragon kings. You have a contract between you. If you attack each other, it will backfire. So you need someone else to do it for you, and you chose me."
Norton nodded: "This is a win-win situation, isn't it? Kill them and you will become stronger, and I only want the dragon bones."
"That sounds good." Yuan Zhinv said, "But why should I listen to you?"
"I don't need you to listen to me, we are just cooperating." Norton said softly: "We both don't have much time. You have people you want to protect, and I have too, that's all."
After a long silence, Yuan Zhinu suddenly laughed, her smile was flamboyant and full of aggression: "Sure enough, only when Constantine wakes up can your restraints be completely untied."
"This is what a Dragon King should look like."
Norton frowned: "So, what's your answer?"
"Kill, that's what I'm best at."
The girl stretched lazily, her hair sticking up cutely, and the sunlight shining on her face made her whole body look coated with a layer of platinum, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
She spoke casually, in a nonchalant tone as if she was saying that the weather was nice today.
Norton looked at that delicate and bright face, but he was a little dazed. Something seemed to come up from the depths of his memory. He murmured unconsciously: "High Priest."
Yuan Zhinv said "hmm", not hearing clearly, and turned her head to look over.
Norton had come back to his senses. He lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"Nothing, I saw it wrong."
Chapter 180 We are all little monsters
many days ago.
Before its collapse, Gokurakukan was once a very popular place in Tokyo. Countless wealthy businessmen frequented here, bringing one dirty wish after another, and were proud of winning the championship of the day.
As the bedroom given by the king to Yuan Zhinu, who was the Dragon King at the time, the Paradise was decorated extremely luxuriously, like a golden cage for raising a canary.
But Yuan Zhinv didn't like this place. No matter how luxuriously the cage was decorated, even if it was made of pure gold and decorated with glass diamonds, it could not change its essence as a cage, so she later gave it directly to Norton.
Then the Dragon King's palace welcomed the real Dragon King.
Under the light of pale beams, Norton sat on the ground in a white robe as bright as the moon. In front of him was a priceless glass vase, but in the vase was only an ordinary white camellia, which looked out of place with the dazzling vase.
Everything in the Paradise Pavilion was extremely luxurious, with brilliant colors everywhere. There were only three white things in the entire space - Norton, Camellia, and the boy in white in front of him.
Norton did something very naturally. There was a plate of juicy green grapes on the table. He picked a small bunch from it and passed it to the child across the table.
The child raised his head, revealing a pair of black, symmetrical eyes. His innocent face was pale, like a sick young animal in the jungle.
"Brother." The child called him softly.
"It's a little strange to wake up, but don't be afraid, Constantine."
"I'm not afraid. I'm here with you." The boy looked at him seriously and asked doubtfully, "But brother...you're still not going to eat me?"
"You are very good food, but it would be too lonely. For thousands of years, it's just you and me." Norton answered softly.
They sat there, clearly meeting again after a long separation, yet it seemed so familiar and natural, as if they had had this conversation countless times and had been going on for thousands of years.
"But... Brother, if you don't eat me, will we die again? Death is really sad, like being sealed in a black box, forever and ever, in pitch black..."
The boy lowered his eyes, and he seemed a little sad: "I don't like darkness, because then I can't see my brother."
"I will be scared if I can't see my brother."
"But this is the fate of us Forsaken... But I believe this is the last time."
"I won't eat you. I will take you with me to rule the world!"
The man's voice disappeared into the empty palace with the wind, revealing a cold and hard majesty.
……
Genji reached out and took her knife.
The scarlet demon sword felt warm to the touch. Genjitsu brushed the blade gently and could feel a heartbeat inside the sword, the frequency of which was cheerful and excited, as if expressing joy.
At that moment, Yuan Zhinv had a strange feeling, as if the knife that had accompanied her for so many years suddenly came alive.
"The power of the Seven Deadly Sins lies in the living spirits within them. Such a powerful weapon also requires a person with a strong bloodline to control it, otherwise there will be a backlash."
"I have integrated the spirits of the seven swords into one. You cannot yet unleash the full power of this sword, but it is enough to protect yourself."
"Self-protection?" Yuan Zhinv raised her eyebrows: "Shouldn't we kill those blind guys?"
