Chapter 65: Decay
There was a knock on the door.
"Just push the door. Here's the game, and you have that access. β
Susie is in the in-game Ice Cellar, which is currently off-limits to all players. The "Ice Cellar" was empty except for Fafnir's dragon bone and the giant alchemy array, and Luo Yin didn't know what collections were in it.
She pushed open the antique wooden door embedded in the wall, and stepped into an endless wasteland.
This is Alchemy Fantasy's own place in addition to the game, the game map has not yet been developed, and Luo Yin has circled a place here as his office.
In immersive dreams, the speed of thinking is faster, and the load on the liver is much smaller. Moreover, all the information exists only in the core of Samaria, and it is well kept secret.
The sky here was tinged with iron blue and dark red, and the crimson sun above the horizon shone on the vast remains of buildings on the ground, and layers of swords, armor, and dry bones.
Luo Yin sat on a miserable white spine, stretched out his fingers to depict the alchemy circuit on the illusory screen, writing ideas at random, and the dragon skull next to him was playing rock music from the eighties and nineties.
Seeing Susie coming in, Luo Yin waved his hand and switched the office scene to a fairy tale world with rainbow bridges and marshmallow clouds.
Susie's face darkened, she clicked on the settings, set the scene to a pure white grid, and finally felt comfortable.
On the left wall, Luo Yin's focus on the game account dynamics is played, and the top of it is Eri Yi, who is attacking "herself".
The front workbench also displays dramas, alchemy item design interfaces, the latest intelligence analysis, and the work reports of the employees.
On the right wall, there are multiple names and their images displayed in red boxes, including Odin, Lu Mingfei, Wang Jiang, Fingal, Ange, Pompeii, etc., with 17 tasks to be completed at the back.
"Did you change the liver to an alchemy liver?"
Luo Yin looked at Susie with a shocked expression, you actually have a spit skill.
"Actually, it's okay, it's called one liver for multiple purposes. Samaria helps with tasks that require a lot of computing power, and I just have to give the final judgment. β
Susie pointed to Eri, who was doing a task.
"Is it really good to tell her the brutal truth in an almost explicit way through the game?"
"Let's not talk about work first, let's take a walk together, everyone has been under a lot of pressure lately."
All the annoying mysteries dissipate together, and the dream evolves into a white sand beach with a gentle sea breeze in real time.
The foam of the waves soaks the white sand slightly, the edge of the sea is dyed golden red by the setting sun, and the broad leaves of the coconut trees sway, casting shadows.
Luo Yin and Susie held hands, leaving clear footprints on the beach. The girl hummed softly, blending in with the wind, and her voice was a little misty.
"For safety reasons, it's not suitable to travel lately, so let's make up for it in this way for the time being."
"Hmm."
Just walking quietly on the beach without much communication, but not feeling embarrassed.
"This scene, is it that you took it out of the movie, it's too beach stereotype."
Luo Yin spread his hands.
"The places I've been to are only a small part of the world. When you don't need to work, you can consider traveling around the world to collect materials on the spot. β
With a ding, Samaritan's pending tasks are minus one.
Luo Yin subconsciously reached out to point and retracted again.
"Let's do it."
Boss Luo looked at Susie with a sneer and opened the notification sent by Samaria. It's actually this, the encrypted note that Wang Jiang left behind.
"94% of the content is decoded, and the remaining 6% of the content has been provided with possible guesses.
The file 'Wang General'/'Tachibana Masamune' has been automatically merged into 'Dr. Jung von Herzog'. Added new target, 'Major Bondarev'. β
Luo Yin briefly skimmed through the information, his expression became more serious the more he looked at it, and the question marks in his mind became more and more. A string of mysterious numbers in the note was determined to be a coordinate range, falling within the Arctic Circle, which is again the North Pole.
He felt that by killing the serpent and taking away the holy remains, he might not only mess up Herzog's game. In this world, the decaying and dark things are more abundant than Luo Yin imagined.
"I think it's her right to let Eri know the truth, and she should know it.
You've also witnessed how fast she's growing, and this girl is far more sensitive and resilient on the inside than she looks on the outside.
Of course, I could continue to keep her in the dark and let Tachibana Masamune be a decent person, but there is no need.
What's interesting about the game is that it's a reflection of harsh reality. Players can try as many times as they want, and the unsuccessful ending will not affect the real future. β
"But when Eri realizes the cruelty of the world and grows up further, do you think she will still trust you? Will you definitely choose to be our ally? β
Susie asked mercilessly. You now look like another black-hearted boss on the inside and outside!
"Then we have at least gained a friend who is clear-headed and especially able to fight."
The current chief thug glances at his mouth, and the person with a complicated brain is the trouble. Thinking too much will only affect the speed at which the sword is drawn.
ββββββββββββ
In Miami Beach, Lin Fenglong walked out of the seaside cabin where he stayed and opened the door to welcome guests.
Patcy was a little surprised to see the old man's appearance, and there was a big gap between the other party and the image in the family intelligence file. Straight hunting suit, a pair of large angular sunglasses, looks like he is only fifty or sixty years old.
Even as the chief secretary, he didn't know much about the family's "important informants", and Pompey only told him about this person and couldn't let Ange find out.
"Mr. Lin, the meeting has been arranged for you."
The neatly haired blonde secretary bowed slightly to Lin Fenglong, placed a pure black cylindrical device under the large parasol in front of the door, and turned away, putting on earplugs with his back to Lin Fenglong.
Lin Fenglong sat down leisurely on a plastic chair and crossed Erlang's legs. The cylindrical device slowly casts a tall and thin humanoid light and shadow under the umbrella.
"I was expecting to see Monsieur Pompey."
"I can't find him for the time being, so I can only wake up this old bone. The younger generations in the family have strong personalities, which makes Mr. Lin smile. β
The man's solemn face slowly became clearer, his face was covered with wrinkles like a knife, his skin was as pale as paper, and his deep-set eyes exuded a faint golden light.
He sat on a large mahogany chair, his body wrapped in a white robe could be called a pinch, and his serious aura was like that of an ancient ascetic.
"Agrippa, we haven't seen each other in almost a century, have we? It's a joy to see you're alive. β
"'93. In 1917, when I was dying of old age and wanted to witness the prosperity of the Gattuso family, I lay in a damn cryo-dormant chamber.
Also, I'm Delta now. When almost no one in the world remembers you anymore, the name loses its meaning. β
Gattuso House Senate, one of the chief 12 senators, Delta. Lin Fenglong could hardly remember what Agrippa looked like at the beginning, and now there was only a ghost-like creature left in front of him.
As he laboriously spat out word by word, life was returning to Delta's body.
"I envy your bloodline, time seems to stand still for someone like you or Ange."
"After all, I'm only 138 years old, just a young man, and I still have to live."
Lin Fenglong said with a smile.
"Hahahaha!" Delta smiled, the blood vessels in her facial skin ruptured, and the waiter on the side immediately wiped away the blood droplets.
"Let's get down to business, I don't know how long I'll be awake with a body like this.
The pension given to you by the family is enough for you to live comfortably for thousands of years, and if you let go of the days of retirement, it means that something is really wrong. β
"Indeed, the king of the earth and the mountain has left the nest. His tracks must be retraced, and the awakened ancient dragon must not be allowed to roam outside. β
Lin Fenglong cut to the chase. The dragon king lurking in human society, the Wind King is enough, and the sneaky guy of JΓΆrmungandr must be eliminated. Hela, who is in its entirety, is Odin's natural enemy and must never appear.
Delta suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. Caesar had to be given the title of Dragon Slayer, which was an important part of the plan, and only those who were crowned with such glory were eligible for the crown. The Fire King's hunt has been lost, and the Mountain King cannot afford to lose.
"When you say that, it means that you have a way to find the King of the Mountain?"
"It's been sorted out, and then it's handed over to the family. I wish the young master victory. β
Lin Fenglong smiled. The dragon king knows the habits of his siblings very well.
"The Gattuso family always remembered their friendship with Mr. Lin. You should know that Ange has not given up looking for you for so many years, and the family has paid a lot of money to keep you.
What did you suddenly come to the secret party's territory for? β
"Take care of a little trouble, warn the little guy who came out of nowhere."
"Samaritans? They're not little guys. β
"Just unplugging the new hunter net."
Delta's withered fingers tapped on the table. He didn't like this man very much, Friedrich von Long.
This man brought an incredible gift to the Gattuso family a century ago, giving them the key to their rise at the height of the Secret Party's weakest years.
Gattuso was able to move out of Sicily, from a second-rate family to an Italian giant, and even after World War II, he took control of the core voice of the secret party.
But he is a stain on the Lionheart, and Lin Fenglong must have played a dishonorable role in that disaster, and traitors are always unpleasant.
He also has deep ties to the deep Hunter Net, and has also sold information to other half-breed forces.
Archaeologist, intelligence broker, traitor, gift....... The man seemed to have many layers of skin, and he couldn't tell what was hidden inside.
Delta hesitated for more than ten seconds before finally speaking.
"Three weeks. You have three weeks to dispose of them, and as long as you don't touch the secret party's bottom line, the family will block the secret party's actions, and Norma's detection records will be deleted. β
Lin Fenglong stood up and gently held the illusory light and shadow. The light and shadow dissipated, and he beckoned Patsy to the door, and returned to the cabin alone.
The index finger of his right hand turned into a slender claw, and Lin Fenglong stepped into a cloud of black mist.
In front of the deserted manor, there are dense cross-shaped branches, and the direction is a little crooked. Among these tombs, there are humans and Deadpools.
In front of the grave, a dense coffin was placed. Three were dark gold, twelve were silvery-blue, and there were countless iron coffins.
Lin Fenglong opened the two coffins, one gold and one silver, the dragon body of the woman on the left was mutilated, there was a sword-shaped puncture wound in the center of the skull, and the head on the right was gone.
"It's a shame you didn't wait for the day you set foot on the battlefield as Heroic Spirits."
Two days ago, when they returned, only the woman had a little voice left, and she kept muttering: "Sword, sword......"
They used to be the bravest fighters in the world, but Lin Fenglong can't remember the story of each "heroic spirit" anymore.
He sealed the coffin and began to dig the pit, bury the coffin, fill it with earth, break branches and insert crosses, all in one go. The habit of crucifixion was developed after he went to Italy.
As for the Deadpool pawn who has become frozen minced meat, let it rot naturally outside. Lin Fenglong didn't have the leisure to bury them one by one, he was just curious about what kind of attack could cause this effect.
The Gattuso family had become a complete monster, and the ghosts were crammed into dormant chambers to survive, worse than the most evil devils in the world. It is worthy of the "seed" that he carefully selected at the beginning.
There is often a ridiculous argument among the Secret Party that Angers is the beneficiary of the Summer Mourning, otherwise the current leader must be Menek, and of course the first trustee would be the Kassel family.
The biggest beneficiary of that accident is undoubtedly him, or the Wind King's lineage. He was the first to wake up after the Rhine outbreak, intercepted the "eggs" that had been transported, visited the Kassel family, and then spent a year finding his master's cocoon.
In that era when the secret party was at its weakest, Lin Fenglong alone held a legacy that was enough to shake the world.
But he knew that after the demise of Kassel, there would be the next family to carry the banner of the secret party, such as Beowulf and Laurent, and the half-bloods would kill like bugs.
In order to meet the prophesied day of return, he needs a spokesperson in a half-breed society.
This spokesperson can't be a veteran family of the secret party, otherwise it will be easy to gain insight into his details. In addition, they must have the ambition of dragons, not afraid of blood on their hands, and love power.
In 1904, Lin Fenglong came to Sicily with a ship and was warmly welcomed by the local mafia.
At that time, the Gattuso family was very famous, and the head of the family was still called "father", and would stuff fresh animal heads into the beds of enemies in the middle of the night.
Fierce young men often burst into enemy homes in costumes and dances, blasting all their heads with double-barreled shotguns.
Although Lin Fenglong was a foreigner, he quickly entered the upper echelons of the family with the advantage of "mixed race". Within a few months, he was able to meet the then head of the house, Cassius, now the "alpha" of the Senate.
More importantly, it is to meet that demonic human, Romulus.
Romulus, whose original name may have been Leonardo, was born at the end of the Renaissance and was a great admirer of Roman culture, changing his mediocre name to the founder of Rome.
His excellent bloodline, coupled with Winter's special spirit, made his lifespan incredibly long. When Lin Fenglong met him, Romulus was already in his 200s, his body shrunk like a sun-dried vegetable, but his eyes were still full of ambition and greed for life.
Lin Fenglong finally found his ideal goal. The moment he offered the fetal blood of the Wind King, Romulus swallowed it without hesitation, and used his dry body to survive the erosion.
After the evolution, Romulus shed his old shell, gained fifty years of youth, gave birth to dozens of children, and secretly killed the unstable individuals among them. The Gattuso family has since become one of the "noble" bloodlines.
He also provided the Gattuso family with some broken dragon alchemy techniques, including injecting Deadpool serum to prolong lifespan, and how to refine the Philosopher's Stone.
After Gattuso's family became famous, Lin Fenglong disappeared for many years.
He gave away most of his wealth, leaving only the most precious part.
And those who receive the gift have no way of knowing the hidden cost of the gift.
Those who are rotten will be reborn. He who dies will return.
On the day of the return of the outcasts to the throne, he will share in that glory.
Lin Fenglong hummed a folk song lightly, and lifted the dark gold and silver-blue coffin lids one by one, and one pair of golden pupils illuminated the gloomy sky.
und ruhig flie?t der rhein
The Rhine River returns quietly to the north
......
und das hat mit ihrem singen
Banshee with her singing voice
