CHAPTER XIV
"What's the problem?" Zhang Lie blurted out. During this time, Anne did not speak, but listened quietly, apparently Blatter had discussed it with her a few days ago.
Blatter pointed to a passage in the corner of the parchment scroll and said, "First of all, the opening of the ark must be done by a special bloodline, which records that this special bloodline is the 'King of Blood'..."
Zhang Lie couldn't help but look at Blatter, who smiled reluctantly: "Yes, I think that the Demon Banquet and Camarilla created me and Jude, and also included the desire to open Noah's Ark one day, but I didn't expect him and me to be separated into two entities, and..."
Blatter still hasn't said a word, and Pared has looked at him differently over the years, perhaps not at all about the so-called family affection, but just takes a fancy to Blatter's special identity to use him to open Noah's Ark and implement the most crucial part of his plan. And judging by Parid's performance, this is indeed the case...
Blatter has always favored the "father-son relationship" between him and Parid, which is why he has always been reluctant to rebel against Parid. Knowing that Pared only regarded him as an expensive tool, the sudden realization of this fact was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Blatter's already wounded heart.
Zhang Lie was reluctant to mention Blatter's sadness, so he changed his tone and asked, "Then what is the other question?" ”
Blatter sighed and wiped his face to calm himself down, and then said, "Another problem is that now Noah's Ark is under the care of the dragons, at least, hidden in the hands of the dragons. ”
"Dragons?" Zhang Lie's brows furrowed, and he actually involved these huge lizards again.
At the same time, he remembered another rumor, that the dragons refused to leave Romania no matter how driven by humans were, because they had been guarding a treasure here for generations. This rumor has attracted countless inquirers, but except for the death of the dragon's mouth, people have found nothing, who knows that the dragon clan is guarding Noah's Ark!
At this point, it's getting more and more interesting. At the same time, Zhang Lie also knew why Blatter came here by himself, and in the face of those giant lizards, he was afraid that he would have to use force to solve it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Have you ever negotiated with the Dragon Clan?" ”
Blatter said helplessly: "It's useless, now that the dragon clan is cooperating with the alliance, we are enemies in their eyes, and there is no room for negotiation at all, not to mention that the dragon clan may not be willing to hand over Noah's Ark." ”
Although the alliance is now in name only, it is an "official organization" in name after all, so the dragon clan will choose to cooperate with them, and with the support of the dragon clan, the elder group is even more confident.
Blatter is right, they are now in a situation with the alliance, and it would be strange if they just came to the door like this, and they would not be tied up by the dragon clan and sent to the elder group. It seems that the only way to get Noah's Ark is to use unconventional means.
But Zhang Lie still felt very strange, and he asked, "Why are you so anxious to find out Noah's Ark?" ”
After a moment's hesitation, Blatter said: "I have an idea, if it succeeds, maybe the human race can stop persecuting the non-human race, and at least get peace for a while." ”
Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?" ”
Blatter said slowly, "Remember what you said, to use Pandora's Box as a deterrent to force humanity to admit our existence. But Pandora's Box is so dangerous that humans may not think that if the flood were to take place, we would suffer like non-humans. So we have to let them know that we have a way to escape the flood, so that Pandora's Box will have a real deterrent. ”
Zhang Lie immediately understood that Blatter wanted to use Pandora's Box in combination with Noah's Ark, so that it could indeed get the greatest deterrent effect. At that time, as long as Pandora's box is used to cause a small flood, and then show the existence of Noah's Ark, it will be difficult for human beings not to bow their heads.
He looked at Anne, who said coldly, "I have no opinion. ”
Anne's simple statement made Zhang Lie stunned, you must know that Anne has always hated human beings very much, especially after the battle of the Vatican, she hated not to kill everyone. Now that he can agree with this method, it seems that Blatter has worked hard to persuade her.
Seeing Zhang Lie's doubts, Blatter said in a low voice: "It's not because of me..."
Slightly stunned, Zhang Lie immediately knew who had made Anne change, John. It seems that unconsciously, Anne's attitude towards humanity has changed subtly, perhaps even without realizing it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lie said to Blatter: "I did it, what should I do?" ”
It seemed that Zhang Lie would agree, and Blatter was not the slightest surprised. He nodded, took a detailed map, pointed to the uneven mountainous terrain on it, and said, "We are here, and this area is home to dragons. According to the Bible, Noah's Ark was probably located in this canyon, right in the territory of the dragons. ”
Looking at the small red circle in the center of the green circle representing the territory of the dragon clan, Zhang Lie smiled bitterly: "These lizards really know how to hide things. How much backing do we have? ”
Blatter shook his head and said, "In order to avoid disputes as much as possible, I can't use the power of the blood clan, so only the three of us sneak in, and if something happens, we can only rely on ourselves." ”
Zhang Lie was stunned and said, "You don't want to face a group of dragons just the three of us, do you?" ”
At this time, Anne said coldly: "If you are afraid, get out, there are no cowards like you in the fourth group." ”
"Ha..." Zhang Lie could only smile bitterly, but he was glad in his heart that no matter how much she changed, Anne was always Anne.
Blatter knew that Zhang Lie was just a matter of habit when he said that, not really afraid. He continued: "The initial goal is to find the Ark, then evacuate it safely, and after confirming the location of the Ark, then find a way to transport it." ”
"Hmm... It's not that hard if it's just diving in. The trouble is how to ship it out after that, and what good can you do about it? Zhang Lie also became serious.
Blatter simply spread his hands: "The strength of the dragon clan is obvious to all, and the thing is in their clan, I can't think of any way to steal the ark, and use the strong just to find death." ”
Zhang Lie said bitterly: "Yes, once you anger these big guys, just thinking about the ruins of that city in Luoshanji will give me a headache." ”
Anne glanced at the two of them: "Since you have decided, I will do it, and it is not my style to look ahead and backward." ”
Zhang Lie slapped his face: "Anne is right, let's find the ark first, if there are any problems, we will worry about it later." It would be nice if Mark or Ruri could come, their second group had negotiated with the dragons a few times, at least the situation was more familiar. ”
Blatter refused: "It's best not to let outsiders know about this, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
In fact, Zhang Lie was just talking, he nodded indifferently, and then said, "When will you do it?" ”
"We've wasted a lot of time waiting for you, so let's do it tonight." Anne said indifferently.
"That's good." Zhang Lie got up and walked to the bed, spread out his limbs and lay down on his back: "Call me when the time comes." Ouch, it's been planes and cars for the past two days, and I'm tired to death. ”
**********************************************************************
That night, the three of them left the town at the foot of the mountain, and after entering the town, the mountain sneaked towards the dragon territory.
Time is like going back to the days when they were still the 4th Special Operations Group, and in countless such nights, the three of them ran silently, completing one difficult task after another. Although everything is different now, the tacit understanding between them that has been seared into the blood will never change.
The territory of the dragon clan is located in the depths of the mountains, and after crossing several mountains, Blatter, who was running at the front, suddenly stopped, and Zhang Lie and Anne also stopped. The two knew that the target was ahead.
Silently exchanging glances, the three of them searched the neighborhood separately. Soon Blatter beckoned the two of them over, and he pointed to an enchantment hidden in the grass on the ground and said, "This is it." ”
Unlike the usual circular barrier, this barrier is oval in shape, very large, and the three of them are only facing the tip of the iceberg. This is the outermost barrier that protects the dragons, and if they don't get rid of it, the three of them won't want to enter it. And this enchantment is just the beginning, entering the territory of the dragon clan, they will face more dangers, for their last place of residence, the dragon clan is very tightly protected.
Squatting down to examine it carefully for a moment, Anne frowned and said, "It's written in dragon language, which of you know each other?" ”
Glancing at each other, Zhang Lie and Blatter both shook their heads, the dragon language is probably one of the oldest scripts in the world, extremely complex, and almost no other race can read it except the dragon race.
After hesitating for a long time to take out the Demon Sucking Sword, Blatter still gave up and said, "I'm not sure." ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Lie simply walked to the edge of the enchantment: "Let me come." ”
"Do you have a solution?" Anne was surprised. After working together for so long, she knew that enchantment had never been Zhang Lie's forte.
Throwing his right hand at the two, Zhang Lie smiled: "Have you forgotten this thing?" ”
That being said, after all, it was the first time he had come into contact with the enchantment written in the dragon language, and Zhang Lie couldn't help but be nervous. After thinking about it, he simply summoned Zoro to put it in the enchantment, so as not to touch it with his own hands.
Zhang Lie would never have been able to do this until he recaptured the other half of the Tiger Spirit, but now he was able to easily control Zoro from his body. Pressing his hand on top of the barrier, a shadow swirled around his right arm, and soon a shadow broke away from his hand and fell into the barrier with a flick.
Under the nervous gaze of the three of them, Zoro came into contact with the barrier, and then soaked into it like a wave of water, slowly spreading. Seeing the shadows on the ground continue to expand, devouring the dragon runes in the enchantment little by little, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it could work.
Soon Zoro cleared a passage that led directly to the interior of the dragon clan, Zhang Lie retracted Sauron, and the three of them carefully passed through the enchantment, and finally entered the interior of the dragon clan.
Breaking through the grove in front of you, a quiet village appeared in the night. The houses in the village were very rudimentary, wells, high haystacks, rocky fences, cattle enclosed in fences... Everything remained the original way it was hundreds of years ago, and in a trance, the three of them felt like they had gone back to the past through a time and space tunnel.
However, the suffocating and powerful aura faintly coming from the village let the three of them know that they had found the right place. With the exception of dragons, no creature can sleep with such a terrifying sense of threat.
They did not dare to venture into the village, although the legend says that dragons are lazy insects that have difficulty waking up as soon as they sleep, but in fact they are very alert, and once they wake up any of them, the consequences will be serious.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, for a moment, Blatter pointed to the left, and the three of them quickly dived along the edge of the village towards the side of the mountain. According to the map, it is likely that the ark was hidden in a small valley thirty kilometers from the village.
Arriving at the destination, as expected, there was also a dragon language enchantment outside the valley, Zhang Lie acted according to the law, and after devouring the enchantment with Sauron, the three of them successfully entered the valley.
