043. Old Don
The sky is blue, the clouds are rolling, and the sun is shining. The breeze is blowing, and the weeds are rolling in the wind like waves.
Lu Mingfei glanced back at the gate in confusion, as well as the bronze dome outside the gate.
"Any door?"
With her limited knowledge, she could not explain how the blue sky, white clouds, and grass could be seen from the bottom of the eighty meters of water.
"The Nibelungen, or the land of the dead," Caesar whispered, "the true kingdom of the dragons does not exist in a normal dimension, it is located in a strange dimension called the Nibelungen, a territory of its own built with alchemy. Here, too, the rules of nature can be distorted. ”
"Uh...... Is it really any door? Lu Mingfei frowned, "So what are the rules this time?" She looked at Uhu.
Ucho got down on one knee with his back to them.
In front of him stood a man, brimming with dazzling gold by the sun.
"You're here."
The golden figure said lightly.

1~3, Konstantin
4~10. → Norton
ROLL : d10=d10(10)=10

Old Don stood in the sun, jeans and baseball cap, as if he had just stepped out of the streets of America. His slightly joyful eyebrows were twisted together, and he couldn't tell if it was because of distress or sadness.
"You said you ...... Why come? He sighed.
"Old Don?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously stretched out his hand, "...... Is that you? ”
"Don't go over." Caesar stopped her, "Look carefully." ”
Lu Mingfei fixed his eyes and saw that there was a black air flow wrapped around Old Tang's body. She had heard Chu Zihang say that the highest grade "Jun Flame" was the most dim, and there was no dazzling light in the field, but when the temperature rose to the limit, the flame had a faint black color.
He's no longer Old Don.
He is the Lord of Bronze and Fire, the First Four Dragon Kings, and the Ancestor of all things alchemy.
His name is Norton.
"You say, should I keep you?" Norton paused, "Or do you just kill you?" ”
Lu Mingfei raised his hand tremblingly, "Can't everyone sit down and have a meal?" I'm a little hungry, are you hungry ......"
Everyone present and the dragon looked at her with the eyes of a silly roe deer.
====
#老唐:
→1~3, you're right, I'm a little hungry, let's have a meal first.

"You're right, I'm a little hungry, let's have a meal first."
Norton pulled out a low table out of nowhere and sat cross-legged at the table, "You can sit too." ”
Ushu sat down half a step behind Norton, in a standard upright position, his upper body as straight as a knife.
Lu Mingfei hesitantly sat on the other side of the low table, and Caesar sat down side by side with her.
Once everyone was seated, Norton pulled out another ...... KFC Family Bucket?
"Hell, you don't know how to order takeout, do you?" Lu Mingfei looked stupid.
"I want to too, but the takeaway guy scolded me for being insane when he heard that he threw the takeaway into the reservoir. I had to go out and pick it up. Norton shrugged, "I'd like to try the braised chicken rice next time, do you have any recommendations?" ”
Caesar's face turned pale, and this scene made him think more. As a revived dragon king, Norton did not choose to reshape the dragon body in a cocoon, nor did he hide underwater all day long to plan how to destroy the world, but often went out to improve his food, and the sun was very healthy. Its psychological quality and code of conduct are completely contrary to the conclusions of the professorial team, and can be called a dragon freak.
Sure enough, you can't speculate on a primitive species with common sense.
“…… The one on Changxing Street has a lot of meat. Lu Mingfei said.
"Okay." Norton nodded, and he grabbed a burger from the family bucket, "You guys are free, it's a waste if you can't finish it." ”
"You're too comfortable these days, aren't you?" Lu Mingfei was hungry for a long time, and he got his hands on two chicken legs, and Caesar didn't have time to stop him.
"It would be nice to have a computer." Norton smacked his lips and said, "I'm thinking about electrifying Bronze City." ”
"Okay, there's a chance, let's have another interstellar ......," Lu Mingfei grinned happily.
For a moment, she felt like she was having a picnic in the sun with her friend, chatting about his newly renovated house and contemplating whether to play a game after dinner...... Then Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered.
Sitting opposite her was the origin of all alchemy, the immortal ancient race, the ruler of bronze and fire.
"There will be a chance...... And what have you seen me? ”
Dragon King Norton asked lightly, his golden eyes lit up as if they were burning.
====
1~3, Lu Mingfei decided to say something sassy to fool the past
→4~6, Wu Huo said that he led the way well
7~9, Caesar directly lifted the table
10. Big success/big failure

"My king." Ushu carefully chose his words, "It's a conspiracy, they're assassins sent by humans. ”
Under Lu Mingfei's undisguised gaze of "Look at me and say he will betray", Wu Yu continued: "They have brought bombs, ready to destroy the Bronze City from the inside, forcing you out of the city to face the ultimate weapon of humanity. ”
"I know." "So I reopened the path of trials." ”
Wu Shu bowed his head, "My king Shengming." ”
"But I didn't expect you to take them all the way through the trial." Norton sighed, "If you lose, you just tied it up and threw it out of the city, you made it difficult for me to do this...... Why do you have to bring them here? ”
"It was the order of His Excellency Konstantin, and he liked this girl." U was answered.
Caesar's fingers rested on the back of the knife without a trace, and before he could strike, Norton sighed again.
"He knows how to like a hammer...... You ignore him. Konstantin still has a lot to learn about this era. Well, you too. ”
"Yes, my king." Wu was answered.
"And-"
Ucho bowed his head and waited for the Grey King's order.
"Welcome back."
Uve looked up in shock, only to see Norton's upright back.
"Make a wish." "After all, you've passed six trials, and you deserve it." ”
Lu Mingfei realized that Norton was talking to her and Caesar.
"Whether it's the thaumaturgy of smelting gold, the opportunity to forge bloodlines, or the forbidden knowledge from antiquity, say it, and I can satisfy you."
The black flames on Norton's body gradually rose, outlining a strange totem in the air, and his back was infected with the surging blasphemy and uneasiness, like a dead sun.
"Then, let's start the final trial – the winner leaves with a wish, and the loser stays here forever."
Lu Mingfei swallowed, and then asked in a trembling voice, "Any wish is it?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Norton glanced at Lu Mingfei alertly, "...... I can do whatever I want, as long as I can. ”
Lu Mingfei raised his hand: "Then can you change the content of the trial to fight interstellar?" ”
====
1~3、“…… You can fight, Wuhu, and go to the warehouse to find that hand-cranked generator. ”
→4~6, "Do you think this environment looks like there is a computer?" Change one. ”
7~9. "There are no computers, but real-time wars can still be fought." ”
10. Big success/big failure
ROLL : d10=d10(4)=4

The request was rejected by a mouthful, Lu Mingfei tilted his head and pondered, ready to exploit another loophole to do the whole job.
At this point, Caesar stepped forward.
====
1~3. "I need a new sword." ”
4~6. "I want to know the weaknesses of Bronze City." ”
→7~9, "One life for one life." I'll stay and let her go. ”
10. Big success/big failure
ROLL : d10=d10(9)=9

Caesar's persuasiveness: ROLL: d100=d100(19)=19
Norton's willpower: ROLL: d100=d100(54)=54
====
Norton's body was shocked, and his eyes wandered between Lu Mingfei and Caesar, and his heart was clear.
Alas, young man...... Still too impulsive, too reckless.
Norton was about to refuse, but Lu Mingfei suddenly hammered Caesar on the shoulder.
"Are you insane?" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth.
"If only one person could go out......" Caesar smiled faintly, "I hope it's you." ”
"Don't." The corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched down, revealing an expression like eating flies, "Don't put on this idol drama, I'm a little disgusting." ”
"Idol drama?"
"It's the kind of TV series where the male protagonist doesn't do anything serious all day long, only plays handsome and falls in love, and all the characters have empty skins and no brains."
Caesar shrugged, "I'm different, I'm both handsome and brainy." ”
“…… I'm skeptical. Lu Mingfei sighed.
Caesar also sighed, "You don't understand. He lowered his voice, "You don't understand how important you are. ”
Whether it's in the school committee's evaluation report or in my heart.
"If it's just me, there's still a chance of life." Caesar patiently persuaded.
"You're going to die." Lu Mingfei looked into his eyes seriously.
"No, I won't." Caesar also answered her earnestly.
He brushed away Lu Mingfei's broken hair on his forehead with his hand full of scratches and bruises, and there was a smile as fiery as the sun in his ice-blue eyes, how could a person with such eyes be afraid of death? He would only laugh at the darkness and despair.
"When did I lie to you." Caesar said with a smile.
There were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, signs of burning at the tips of his hair, and a hint of weakness in his hoarse tone. Blood seeped through the cracks of the wetsuit and spread along the texture of the surface of the nanomaterial, fused hunting knives and red-hot firearms hung from the waist, crumbling.
Big brother, you obviously look like you're going to hang up at any time......
Lu Mingfei sighed, she didn't expose Caesar's "lie", and she didn't dare to look into Caesar's eyes again.
There is a bitter taste that spreads from the bottom of the tongue.
Why?
Why is it going this way?
Why are you so nice to me?
Lu Mingfei looked down at his intact wetsuit, without a trace of torn. The characteristic wetsuit tightened against her like a layer of hard skin, outlining strange and graceful curves.
…… Because I'm a woman?
Lu Mingfei was amused by this thought.
How come Made's old man never met such a good big brother when he was a man? How can it be smooth sailing to become a woman one day, and there is a senior sister cover and a big brother cover......
The sense of absurdity with a hint of black humor gradually solidified into a cold and hard reality, stabbing my chest.
Enough is enough, enough is enough.
Lu Mingfei gently pushed Caesar away.
Caesar stroked his chest and was a little stunned, as if it was an illusion, and the feeling of the girl in front of him had changed.
One second it was soft water, and the next second it condensed into hard ice.
"Lu Mingfei!" Caesar called her name.
He was a little agitated, things seemed to be getting out of his control, and he didn't know what the girl in front of him wanted to do. But no matter how hard the ice is, standing in front of the scorching sun can only melt this ending.
- Bang.
The force was just on the back of his neck, and his thoughts were interrupted in an instant, and all the accumulated exhaustion and pain rushed over him, and Caesar could no longer control his body that was about to collapse.
At the end of his vision, he saw a strand of silver hair flying.
