Lu Mingze had an innocent expression on his face, looking like "how can you still ask such a basic question until now".

Su Mo's face turned dark.

"When did you mention this?"

Frigga is the name of a goddess in Norse mythology, she is the mother of Badr, the god of light, and Hodel, the god of darkness.

In mythology, in order to protect her child, Badr, the god of light, the goddess forced all living beings in the Nine Realms to make an oath not to harm Badr except for mistletoe.

So all things obeyed her will and made a vow that the god of light would not be harmed by anything but mistletoe, which itself was too weak to fear.

The alchemical tranquilizer bomb, which is commonly used in mixed-race societies, is named after "Friga" because of its almost no lethality.

Of course, in alchemy, the name itself has a special occult meaning.

In addition, when Nuno obtained Odin's position through deep profiling of Vision, he was also called "Frigga Three" by Odin in Vision's vision, Su Mo guessed that this was related to the Chen family bloodline she inherited, but she didn't know the details.

As for the term "black king's shrine maiden", it is the first time I have heard it.

"You guy, what other information is hidden?"

Su Mo's eyes suddenly became a little unkind.

"Hey!"

Lu Mingze scratched his cheeks and smiled embarrassedly.

"I thought I said it, but I forgot to say it! But don't worry, it's too late to tell you now! Anyway, it's not a big deal worth talking about. ”

Looking at his hippie smiling attitude, the corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes turned to Xia Mi on the side.

So far, he will not doubt Lu Mingze because of this little thing, compared to intelligence, the strength that has been obtained is the most important, Lu Mingze, who has not interfered with Su Mo in this regard, will not make a fuss about some intelligence.

However, looking at his hob-like attitude, Su Mo felt that sometimes Lu Mingze still needed someone to stimulate him, otherwise he would not be honest enough.

Come! Close the door and let Natsumi go!

For Su Mo's gaze, Miss Xia Mi naturally reacted immediately, although she didn't understand what Su Mo meant exactly, but she was already very unhappy with Lu Mingze, so she naturally immediately opened her mouth to arch the fire.

"Su Mo, I said it before, Lu Mingze is unreliable, and he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth. Or we're going to get rid of him now? After absorbing his authority, Ling's strength will inevitably become stronger, and it shouldn't be difficult to master [Elemental Replacement]! ”

Hearing this, looking at Miss Xia Mi's gearing up, Lu Mingze took a step back.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, does this female dragon still have a moral bottom line?

Wait, she doesn't seem to have any bottom line!

However, Su Mo is much more reliable than her, so it shouldn't be possible to agree to such an absurd suggestion, right?

Thinking so, Lu Mingze took a step in Su Mo's direction, originally thinking that he could hear Su Mo's words of categorical refusal as before, but he didn't expect that this time, Su Mo was just weirdly silent for two seconds, and even touched his chin and pondered.

"Sounds a little reasonable, even if only the crippled authority remains, if it is superimposed with the power I already have, it shouldn't be difficult to evenly superimpose the elemental theory to the level of an ordinary dragon king...... And if you master the four elements, you can learn [Elemental Replacement], why do you feel a little excited? ”

Saying this, Su Mo glanced at Lu Mingze meaningfully.

"Hey, hey! No, how can you believe Natsumi's words! ”

Seeing Su Mo's attitude, Lu Mingze blinked, and then he was a little panicked, and even couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zero on the other side for help.

Save the little padded jacket! This is the time when you should make a difference!

What he didn't expect was that after seeing his hints, he kept his previous calm expression without blinking, and had no intention of intervening in the conversation at all.

Lu Mingze could almost read the other party's subtext from the blonde girl's ice-blue pupils - you are no longer my boss, why should I listen to you?

"Hmmm!"

Lu Mingze was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say to refute the other party.

Although it is said that it is herself who forced Zero to resign, she does only need to obey Su Mo's orders now, but I asked you to go over there to let you blow the pillow wind, not to completely let you be a virtuous helper!

This black-hearted little padded jacket is no longer a problem of leaking wind or not, she is completely wearing a reverse armor, which is full of thorns, and it is all him!

Looking around at the three people in front of him, Lu Mingze finally realized the disadvantage of the current situation.

He was good at capturing people's hearts, and he knew that Su Mo had no intention of breaking the covenant, just to scare him, but he also understood that this situation was not suitable for death, at least he could not continue to conceal information.

So, he hurriedly raised his hands, put on a gesture of surrender, and sneered.

"Okay, okay, I'll admit it, I'll tell all this information well, don't do it, it's hurtful and angry!"

"It's not that you have too many eyes!"

Su Mo glanced at Lu Mingze, but didn't say much.

It was actually expected that Lu Mingze would conceal some information, after all, according to his plan, the strength of Su Mo's side is rising, but Lu Mingze's side will have fewer and fewer chips, and not giving out all the information at the beginning is actually an act of self-preservation, even if he believes in Su Mo's character, he will not pin everything on this.

However, when he ignored Ange's hint and expressed enough sincerity - directly rescued Lu Mingze's body, instead of using it as a handle to pinch the other party, Lu Mingze should naturally return the favor and should no longer hide it.

Otherwise, Miss Xia Mi's plan of "killing them all" is certainly not feasible, and the plan implied by Ange to include Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze in his grasp at the same time is not without room for maneuver.

Of course, Lu Mingze took the initiative to mention the Black King's witch intelligence itself to express his sincerity, but this was not enough for Su Mo, what he wanted was not this one piece of information but all the important information, after all, he was the one who had to face the Black King, and he naturally wanted to fight for the dominance.

Even if both sides have a strong willingness to cooperate, this kind of temptation and conflict is inevitable, Su Mo and Lu Mingze are very aware of this, and they will not be troubled by such a trivial matter.

After a small encounter, the two sides reconfirmed their positions and ways of cooperation, and once again reached a consensus.

Except that Miss Xia Mi was a little disappointed that she let Lu Mingze go so easily, Su Mo and Lu Mingze both tacitly put aside the previous argument and advanced the previous topic.

"So, what exactly is the Black King's shrine maiden?"

Su Mo asked.

"Well, before that, I want to ask, do you know [causal grafting]?"

Lu Mingze did not answer Su Mo's question directly, but asked rhetorically.

Su Mo believed that Lu Mingze was not running away from the question, so he didn't question it, but nodded directly.

"I know, you said before that this is the principle of making the Dragon King's mask, and it belongs to the basic use technique of the alchemy kingdom of [Separation of Cause and Effect]."

Just as the alchemy kingdom of [Space Development] can also be used for spatial transfer and spatial transformation, the alchemy kingdom of [Causal Separation] is also used in a variety of ways, and the actual name should be [Causal Operation] to be more appropriate.

And "causal grafting" is literally, grafting the cause and effect that originally belonged to this thing onto another thing.

This is how the Odin Mask is made, as long as the mask and the authority of the dragon king himself are established strong enough causal link, the power of the dragon king himself can be borrowed through the mask.

This is a technique that can only be used by mastering the existence of alchemy [Causal Separation], so even if Xia Mi devoured Norton before, he couldn't make a similar mask, and he could only smelt it by Lu Mingze himself.

"That's right! In fact, this is not only the case, but also the power that Gungnir that Odin usually uses is the power intercepted from the main body with the help of this technique, so the power he exerts is the same as the main body. ”

Lu Mingze nodded and explained further.

Gungnir's body has been sealing Lu Mingze here, and it is with the help of the technique of [Cause and Effect Grafting] that Odin can obtain the power of Gungnir's body just like using a mask.

"But what does this have to do with the Black King's shrine maiden?"

Su Mo asked again.

"Who do you think he learned from Odin's knowledge of [Separation of Cause and Effect]?"

Lu Mingze smiled slightly and prompted.

Su Mo had felt Odin's alchemy attainments with the help of the mask and gained quite a lot of experience, and now when he heard Lu Mingze say this, he realized something after a little thought.

"You mean, Odin's [Causal Grafting] is a technique that he learned from the Black King?"

If this alone is not enough for Su Mo to take to heart, because Odin's alchemy has been known to the Black King for a long time, and it is not worth repeating again.

The reason why this point was specifically mentioned was because Su Mo further guessed what Odin learned this technique from, and also guessed why the Black King developed this technique.

"Could it be that the reason why your brother was able to obtain the power of the Black King and was recognized as the new Supreme was that the Black King used this technique to graft the mortal fate that originally belonged to the Black King?!"

Just like Odin's technique in the original book of using a mask to hide his true identity and using his clone to deceive the enemy's ultimate, [Causal Grafting] is actually a technique used to create a puppet.

In this regard, Su Mo and Xia Mi's gameplay is different, because they can trust each other, so the use of masks as transformation props is actually an evil way.

Since it is a technique used to create puppets, it is naturally developed because you want to create puppets.

And the most famous puppet in the history of the dragon clan is probably the famous supreme, the new god who was betrayed by the kings just after birth and finally killed by the monarchs collectively - Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingze mentioned before that the Black King pushed Lu Mingfei to the throne because he wanted to escape the fate of doomed death, but he didn't say how he did it.

Now it seems that [causal grafting] may have played an important role in this.

"You're as sharp as ever!"

Lu Mingze muttered in a low voice, and then shook his head.

"Of course, it's not so simple to deceive fate, a simple puppet is useless, you must make the other party a real black king, in order to carry your fate as a real black king, otherwise my brother will not be able to inherit the power of the supreme."

At this point, his voice changed.

"However, the thought of the conclusion that the puppet path doesn't work shows that the Black King himself has tried this path......"

Speaking of this, Su Mo completely understood what Lu Mingze meant.

"So, the so-called black king's witch is actually the original experiment, and the black king tried to use the witch as a sacrifice to replace his doomed fate?"

"That's right!"

Lu Mingze nodded, confirming Su Mo's conjecture.

Here, the timeline is already very clear, the Black King initially tried to use [Cause and Effect Grafting] to graft his fate to others, so he created the witch, and then found that this path did not work, so he put the idea on creating a new god, that is, Lu Mingfei.

The shrine maiden who was used to carry her doomed fate was named Friga.

The tragedy of Frigga and Lu Mingfei should refer to the common past when they were both used as puppets by the Black King.

Lu Mingze's reminder was to ask Su Mo to be careful not to be dominated by the Black King's fate.

After hearing this new information, Su Mo pondered for a long time, and then asked.

"The bloodline of the Chen family inherited by Nuo Nuo and Eri Yi is actually the bloodline of this Friga?"

"That's right, including Gulveig."

Lu Mingze nodded.

"Atavistic individuals who have activated the Frigga gene will have dark red hair."

"According to you, your brother is a success story, and the shrine maiden Frigga is just a failure. But in that case, why does her bloodline still have the effect of filtering and purifying the bloodline of dragons? Could it be that this is a side effect of being sacrificed? ”

Su Mo looked down at Lu Mingze, his eyes full of inquiry.

Since he is not competent for the efficacy of the sacrifice, Frigga should be useless, but as far as Su Mo understands, the usefulness of this bloodline should not be small, and it is by no means a failure.

"No, it's not a side effect."

I had already guessed that Su Mo would ask this, Lu Mingze lowered his head and sighed,

"She is the chain of fate, the last barrier set by the Black King, and the obstacle that my brother once had to face."

"What do you mean?"

God gave His own eyes to His daughter because He loved her and did not hesitate to maim Himself. It was this that my brother fell for this, and he was calculated by Nidhogg, otherwise he would not be unable to suppress those rebellions. ”

Lu Mingze shook his head, and then sneered.

"The name Chen Motong, I'm afraid it was deliberately given by Odin, a dog who likes to watch the excitement!"

The witch, also known as the daughter of the gods, the eyes of the black king are naturally the so-called ink pupils.

Like Odin, who is completely a puppet of the Black King, the so-called red-haired witch, if she hadn't met Su Mo, actually had a predetermined fate like a puppet.

"Speak human words!"

Su Mo was concise and to the point.

"Oh!"

Lu Mingze nodded obediently.

"To put it simply, the reason why my brother agreed to the Black King's request was not for strength, but because he wanted to save the witch Frigga. For this reason, he is even willing to give his own eyes to strip the Black King's most original bloodline, even if it causes irreparable damage to himself. ”

"Hmm."

Su Mo nodded, thinking that Lu Mingfei was licking a dog in the primeval era, but this didn't seem to be surprising.

"And then?"

"Then my brother was betrayed by the dragon kings."

Lu Mingze glanced at Miss Xia Mi before continuing.

"The newborn Black King is also the supreme of the dragon clan, and he may not be able to defeat the alliance of other dragon kings, but the crippled supreme may not. Under Nidhogg's calculations, the newly hatched brother first lost all his authority, then was forced to deal with the rebellion of the dragon king, and was finally killed by the rebels as the real black king! ”

This time, Lu Mingze made up the whole plot and told all the causes and effects before and after the fall of the Black King.

Even Xia Mi didn't know so much of the inside story, and it was difficult to digest it for a while.

After thinking for a while, Su Mo, who had been in contact with each other, asked.

"Since your brother has promised to accept the power and fate of the Black King, why would Nidhogg go to such a length, deliberately depriving him of all authority? Is this for fear that your brother will turn his head and use this power against him, or is it to pave the way for his predetermined puppet Odin? ”

"Probably both, but his most important purpose may not be here, but now."

Lu Mingze shook his head and said in a quiet tone.

"Now?"

Su Mo was slightly stunned.

"If the condition for regaining the supreme throne is to deprive the life of any girl who has inherited the blood of Friga, do you think my brother will agree to such a condition?"

Lu Mingze prompted.

"No, it won't."

Su Mo immediately shook his head.

Although Lu Mingfei has been sprayed and licked by dogs, he himself is definitely not a bad person, and even a kind and cowardly character, he will never agree to such conditions.

"In other words, the Black King did this to exclude you from the competition for the Supreme Seat?"

He immediately understood Nidhogg's intentions.

The Black King has only one authority, but there are three competitors - Lu Mingfei, Odin, and Nidhogg himself.

Odin is a puppet manipulated by fate by Nidhogg, so he doesn't have to worry; And if Lu Mingfei is unwilling to sacrifice the life of the girl of the Frigga bloodline, then he will not be able to take the throne; In the end, the only winner was Nidhogg himself.

If Nidhogg's greatest reliance on manipulating Odin lies in his weakness and arrogance. Then, the biggest reliance he used to manipulate Lu Mingfei was kindness at best, and licking the dog at worst.

What a brilliant calculation!

"I guess so."

Lu Mingze spread his hands.

“…… No wonder you didn't want to say it before. ”

Su Mo was slightly stunned.

The reason why Lu Mingze has concealed this information until now may only be a small part of the reason to increase his gaming status, and the real reason is actually to cover up his brother's dog-licking experience.

After all, it does sound a bit humiliating to lose the throne for a woman, and you can't let it go until thousands of years later.

Brother doesn't say brother, that's probably it.

After listening to these secrets, even Miss Natsumi realized their importance, and after thinking for a few minutes, she came to a conclusion.

"In that case, the rich woman number one is actually very useful?"

"That's right!"

Lu Mingze glanced at her and nodded.

"Although there are many people who have inherited the Frigga bloodline, and there are many who can activate it, but so far the closest to the original bloodline, I'm afraid there is only Chen Motong."

In this regard, Eri is slightly inferior.

"Is that ......?"

Miss Natsumi fell into deep thought, and after a few minutes, she looked up at Su Mo.

"Su Mo, since Nuo Nuo is so important, then we-"

Then we must squeeze out her value - in Xia Mi's style, Su Mo thought she would say so.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xia Mi blurted out yes.

"Then we must protect her!"

Hearing such pure words, everyone present was slightly stunned, and looked at the dragon king girl with surprised eyes.

Is this something you can say?

Lu Mingze's eyes were full of suspicion, if he hadn't seen the problem, he would have felt that this female dragon had been taken away or dropped.

Only Su Mo smiled slightly after the initial surprise, and reached out to touch the girl's head.

Maybe it's because of the filter, unlike others, in Su Mo's heart, Miss Xia Mi's background is still kind, except for being a little frank sometimes, it's no different from an ordinary girl.

He believed that this was indeed Miss Natsumi's heart.

So he nodded slightly.

"Don't worry!"
