Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

The vice-principal took the unfinished whiskey from the table and took a long gulp.

"Volcanoes represent energy and fire elements in alchemy. Many ancient alchemical rituals use magma and volcanic ash. I guess that Herzog's original purpose of going to Fuji Pass was not to awaken the White King. He probably wanted to use some kind of Ritual attracts holy remains.

He wanted to hold the remaining bones of King Bai in his hands first, but he was tricked by the organization behind the scenes. Before him, the organization used some means to release King Bai's spirit, and the fierce man he brought there The ghost' happened to be the sacrifice for King Bai's resurrection. "

"What does that organization want to do?"

“I don’t know, this is the first time even I have heard of the existence of this secret organization, but what is certain is that they have existed for many years and have an unimaginable understanding of dragons.

They even know the White King and the White King's bloodline better than the White King's descendants, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a comprehensive plan. They also specially transported the ancient dragon's embryo from the North Pole as a sacrifice. It is conceivable that they must have a huge Conspiracy, and it is very likely that the core members of this organization are not humans, but dragons. "

"Dragon type? Vice Principal, are you saying that this organization was created by dragon type?"

"There is a saying that there has always been a dragon organization hidden in the dark side of human society. Because dating back to the history of the secret party, the second and third generation species we slaughtered are not really a large number. Although we are posthumously named The Dragon Slayer Organization, but most of the ones we fight for are Deadpool and the dragon subspecies.”

The vice-principal closed Herzog's notebook and put it back in the drawer.

"In the ancient times, the management of the secret party was quite loose. We built castles in inaccessible suburbs. There were many such castles.

Experienced mixed-race people travel from village to village. If they find a child with awakened blood, and the child and the child's parents are in some kind of difficulty, such as being unable to raise him or having no food rations at home, etc., they are willing to let him leave. family, we would take the child and pay the parents a handsome sum.

This child will be brought to the castle, and his elders will teach him how to use a steel sword, how to identify the traces of Deadpool and dragon subspecies, and teach them alchemy and control of speech spirits. "

“When the children grow up, they will leave the castle and travel by themselves, making a living by accepting dangerous commissions. Sometimes they will also help deal with bandits, bandits and wild beasts that hurt people.

Only when the New Year comes, they will gather in the nearby castle to talk about who died in Deadpool's hunting and who brought back a new child. They raise their glasses under the bonfire at night, I wish you all the best to be together again in the coming year. "

"At that time, we were single and weak, and the only things that accompanied us on the journey were swords, wine, and maybe a beloved horse. In this case, the chance of survival when encountering second- and third-generation species was very low, and they would often die. After a few people, we would be alert and pass letters to each other.

Then the experienced old dragon slayers organized a team of more than a dozen dragon slayers, preparing weapons and decoctions to hunt down these awakened ancient dragons. However, not every dragon slaying had results, even those who had faced off against the Dragon King. Dragon slayers sometimes fail, or they manage to assemble a team, but when they arrive at the scene of the incident, only rotting corpses and traces of the battle are left. "

"You should have heard the story of the 'White Wolf' in the textbooks. He is called the 'Butcher of Blavikan'. He has a long scar on his left eye, milky white hair, and never-ending golden eyes. He Born in Poland, he was one of the most powerful dragon slayers on record, and even a local writer created the fantasy novel "The Witcher" based on a poem praising him."

"I remember him, Geralt." Lu Mingfei nodded: "That history class was taught by Principal Angers. The principal said that Geralt has a special physique, which is rare in the world. He has a total of six speech spirits. Although they are all low-level, they are quite practical when combined.

His adopted daughter Siriya is a Time Zero like the principal's spirit, and is also a famous dragon slayer. However, his private life is very dissolute and he is entangled with many female alchemists. Every time he arrives in a new city, the first The first thing to do is to find a brothel nearby. "

"This is because people of that era looked at sex and love separately, because they didn't know when they would die, so physical love was always taken lightly, but in a new, stable home, they would never Promise to go out easily.

Another reason is that at that time, many people regarded mixed-races as freaks and believed that the golden eyes of mixed-races were an ominous omen. Therefore, the never-extinguishing golden eyes of the 'White Wolf' always aroused people's disgust, but in the brothel, he Being able to spend money to buy other people’s services. "

The vice-chancellor continued:

"The life of the white wolf described in the novel "The Witcher" is actually very similar to that of the ancient dragon slayers. In that era, Deadpool and dragon subspecies were as common as monsters in the book. Until later, about It was four thousand years ago that monsters gradually became rare and forgotten by people, thinking that they were just myths and figments of some people."

"Then, humans gradually expanded to every corner of the world, and hybrid organizations became increasingly powerful. We finally became united, from a loose organization of 'Witchers' to the 'Secret Party' today.

After we learned advanced scientific power and acquired gunpowder and guns, we abandoned decoctions with serious side effects and turned to the new discipline of 'alchemy machinery'. From then on, we searched for dragons all over the world. Once the tombs were identified, large quantities of TNT explosives were waiting for them. It was only from that time that our dragon-slaying records began to slowly become richer. "

"That is to say, before this, there were actually many dragons that had not been dealt with by the secret party." Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin and thought.

"Yes, as long as they don't make a big fuss after waking up, it's almost impossible for us to find them." The vice principal nodded: "Dragon and Deadpool are different. Deadpool is more of a bloodthirsty beast that relies on instinct to act. But dragons are intelligent beings.

They once established a glorious civilization on this land. Like humans, they have social attributes, so I have every reason to suspect that these dragons established an organization a long time ago, and they search for their compatriots all over the world. , providing blood food to the newly awakened dragons, and then leading them to disguise themselves in human society to prepare for their great plan. "

"Sounds reasonable."

Lu Mingfei felt that the vice-principal was right. Judging from the dragons he had come into contact with, dragons had very high IQs and were definitely not beasts that acted on instinct.

Moreover, dragons have extremely long lifespans and can be reborn through pre-prepared eggs after death. It is not difficult to maintain an organization in secret for thousands of years.

If the awakened dragon clan had already established a secret organization before the era of "White Wolf" Geralt, it would be difficult for the secret party to detect the existence of this organization.

"According to the analysis of Herzog's notes, there will be a very severe challenge waiting for us. What we have to face is not only the Black King who is about to awaken. If these guys really exist, I am afraid they have already been in human society. occupy a large part of social resources.

Power, money, social status. They change into human beings and live in human ways, but we know almost nothing about them.

But my intuition tells me that the target of their plan is probably not humans, but the Black King. After all, the best way to become friends is to have a common enemy. In a sense, maybe we can barely be considered to have no contract. allies, but if they successfully survive the prophesied day, the next step may be a war between us. "

The vice principal took another sip of wine.

"But this is something that will be discussed later. I do not intend to report this discovery to the school board. I will only talk to Angers privately."

"Does the vice principal suspect that there is a traitor in the school board of directors?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's not a suspicion. As long as this secret organization exists, there must be their spies in the school board." The vice-principal tapped his head with his index finger, "As long as you think of the 'Summer Mourning' incident, no matter how stupid you are, you can think of this." a little.

That's why they tried their best not to reveal their existence, because once we learn about it, it will be obvious. I have to thank Herzog for finding the clues, otherwise I would not have published "Summer's Mourning" 'Associated with the White King's resurrection. "

"Xia's Mourning?" Lu Mingfei frowned.

"You should have heard Angers say that."

"I heard that the vice-chancellor meant that the 'Summer Mourning' was also planned by that organization?"

"If you think about it carefully, you can figure it out. After the 'Summer Mourning', all the most influential leaders of the Secret Party today were killed in battle. The Black King's egg was lost. We have lost our leader. As long as we intervene at this time, we can climb up It is not difficult to occupy a high position and occupy the position of leader.

When Kassel was established in 1912, seven school directors were selected. Most of the weight in the selection was how much funding and assistance the school director could provide to the secret party. Qualifications and dragon-slaying resume became less important. of a link.

Because we have scientific weapons, we no longer need experienced old dragon slayers to formulate dragon slaying plans for us and help us cultivate a new generation of "demon hunters" in the castle like in ancient times. "

"This is their purpose." Lu Mingfei understood: "In exchange for the blood of Meineke and the others, they will gain access to the secret party's seat of power."

"But I think Angers was beyond their expectation. He is the only living person found in Cassel Manor. I have known him for many years, so I only trust him." The vice-principal nodded: "伱It counts as one, after all, your identity is."

The vice-principal gave Lu Mingfei a somewhat thoughtful look.

"Okay, let's stop this topic. Let's talk about the topic I wanted to talk to you about in the first place."

"Ah? Were those just off-topic?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Hui Liyi.

Eriyi obviously didn't understand what the vice-principal was saying. She was playing with Lu Mingfei's hand under her desk, squeezing her finger pads and twiddling her knuckles. She probably felt bored and could only find something to do like this. Come and do it.

"Don't worry, it will be over in one minute. It won't take you too much time." The vice-principal said: "You will have plenty of time to flirt with your girlfriend later, because after I finish talking about this, I have to sort out the information and rush to Italy. Find Angers.”

"Then tell me." Lu Mingfei scratched Hui Liyi's palm to help her pass the time.

"What I'm talking about is what I discovered in Herzog's research."

The vice principal put his hands on the table and looked serious.

"Herzog wrote in his notes, 'I am not the person who knows the best about dragons in the world, Bondarev is.' The reason is because Bondarev showed him a lot of dragon intelligence, cuneiform writing , hieroglyphs, black magic books, lost alchemy classics, all the information shows that there was such a great ancient civilization before human history, and the dragon was the master of that civilization."

"But Herzog only read it and did not get a backup of the information from Bondarev. The information he found in Bondarev's laboratory was only about the 'Ancient Road to the Underworld', but based on his memory, he Write part of the information in his research notes."

"What's mentioned in it?"

"【world Tree】."

The vice-principal took out a piece of scratch paper with a drawing of a tree on it. There was a huge fruit on the tree. The branch with the fruit was bent, and you could almost imagine the branch being broken.

"There are legends of huge sacred trees in many cultures around the world. According to legends, they may be the birthplace of the world, or the support of the world, or the residence of the gods, or the path to the sky, etc. The ancient Norse language calls it "Yggdrasill". In Nordic mythology, the Yggdrasil is a huge ash tree that supports the entire world, and humans and various races live in "Yggdrasill" from the root to the top of the tree. "

"Is that what the information says as well?"

"No, it's not the same." The vice-principal pointed to the fruit on the draft and said, "I'll keep it short. According to my analysis, the Black King most likely grew from this tree."

"ah?"

"[He was born from the fruit of the World Tree. When the fruit matured, he crushed the branches connecting the fruits, and the World Tree withered. He picked up the remaining broken branches of the World Tree, separated Chaos, and Chaos differentiated into The order of the earth, ocean and sky is thus established.] This is the myth and legend I found in the information yesterday, the myth and legend of the dragon tribe. It also vaguely mentioned that the Black King was stabbed to death by the branches of the World Tree. .”

"Herzog deeply analyzed the myths and legends he had read, and he believed that the origin of all life was this tree. I learned from Angers that you met Odin. I want to ask you, you Do you remember what the gun in Odin's hand looks like?" The vice principal looked at Lu Mingfei eagerly.
