Chapter 404: If You Want to Get Rich, You Have to Raid Your Home (4K)
Sitting in the dark cell, Chen Xuan's golden pupil became the only source of light.
For the defeat under Lu Mingfei, he didn't have much resentment.
The more they learned, the more they realized that this S-class freshman was indeed a masterpiece in the world, and even Ange couldn't compare to it.
And the Chen family was not defeated by a strong enemy once or twice, the most recent one was decades ago, but this time the losses were larger.
What can be placed in the ancestral house is a fine product left over from thousands of years of searching, and each piece is placed in Southby's directional auction, and the starting price will not be less than three million US dollars.
And the top ones among them, even the pure-blooded dragon clan will blush when they see it.
But now, they're all trophies of the Crimson Star Warband.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan sighed.
However, as long as people are still there, there is hope.
There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, and the Chen family still has several secret vaults, the location and opening method are hidden in the bloodline of the Chen family, as long as it continues from generation to generation, there will always be someone who can awaken the memory.
Chen Xuan is not worried that Lu Mingfei will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and such a character will not break his word unless it is necessary.
On the contrary, he was more worried about Gattuso attacking those children, after all, the Chen family knew too much.
How much do you have to tell Lu Mingfei, and how much do you have to keep?
Just as Chen Xuan was thinking, the door opened.
Lu Mingfei strode in, and Takar behind him followed suit.
"Your clansmen have already made arrangements, and after the brainwashing is successful, they will be absorbed into the Eight Snake Qi Clan."
He sat down opposite Chen Xuan and said.
"Can you pick a few for them to return to China?"
Although he knew that he shouldn't say much, Chen Xuan still couldn't help asking.
After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, although the history of the Chen family is longer than the history of the Yanhuang tribe, but after so many years of thriving in this land, they also regard themselves as the Zhengshuo of China.
"You can think about it."
Lu Mingfei glanced at him and said.
He knew that Chen Xuan must have other thoughts, but it didn't matter, when the time came, he would put a few baits back, just to clean up all the unfinished holes.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them directly. I'm old, and I'm afraid of pain, and I can't stand the toss of that red-headed Ah San. β
Chen Xuan glanced at Takar contemptuously.
As we all know, the nickname of Indians is Ah San, and the little policemen in the British Concession in modern times are generally Sikhs transferred from India, and their canons must be wrapped in turbans, and the headscarves of Indian police are red, so they are also called red-headed Ah San.
With such an ancient name, the age of this Chen family patriarch is quite suspicious.
The most unbearable thing for Takar is to be despised by others, especially as a prisoner who despises him, and his eyes are on fire.
Of course, in front of Lu Mingfei, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he didn't even scold.
He hoped that this old thing had better tell more lies now, and that he would know later what his grandfather was concocting.
"What's the situation with Chen Motong?"
Lu Mingfei asked directly.
"She's the Black King's cocoon."
Chen Xuan's voice was very soft, but the content was very powerful, at least Takal was shocked.
"Isn't the Black King dead?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"Even the White King and the Four Great Sovereigns can be resurrected from the dead, how can the Black King die completely?"
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Does Chen Motong know?"
"Of course she doesn't know, she's just a key box."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said.
"Key box?"
"That's right, she's not the Black King's human form or flesh incarnation, she's just an ordinary half-blood. What is special is her spirit, and the entrance to Niflheim is hidden inside. β
Chen Xuan nodded.
Niflheim, the land of fog in Norse mythology.
It was a cold place full of clouds and mist all year round, and it was here that the world's first spring, Hvagmir, was located.
The original meaning of the Nibelungen in German is that it refers to the people who live in Niforheim, the "land of fog".
"That's the original Nibelungen, and that's where the Black King was born."
Chen Xuan continued.
"You say the Black King was born in Niforheim? This is not the Nibelungen it created? β
"That's right, Niforheim has existed longer than the Black King, and it is unknown whether he was born or created."
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Even the four great monarchs don't know about Niforheim's existence, the White King may know, but it can't enter, it's the true homeland of the dragons that only the Black King can return to."
He said leisurely.
"Is it the body hidden inside, or the soul hidden inside?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"I don't know. No one knows exactly what Niflheim was like, and even the original Nibelungen is just a guess. β
Chen Xuan shook his head and said.
"And how do you get into Niflheim?"
"Wait for the Black King to open the portal himself, or for the Evil Star to reach orbit. It's actually the same thing. β
Chen Xuan replied.
The arrival of the malevolent star in orbit sounds similar to the arrival of the stars in the correct position.
"Which star is the murderous star?"
"We don't know its name, only that it's a rust-colored planet the size of the Earth and the Moon, with huge eyes."
"Is it alive?"
Lu Mingfei frowned.
He has also seen planets with long eyes in subspace, not only with long eyes, but also with tentacles, horns, green hair, and so on.
Some of these planets are the natives of subspace, and some are the products of corruption that have been pulled into subspace from the real universe.
"Alive? It's a surprising idea. But I can't tell you the answer, because I don't know. β
Chen Xuan said thoughtfully.
"Is there any other way?"
Lu Mingfei asked again.
It was not his habit to be beaten passively, and the best way to deal with this kind of mysterious ritual was to kill the conditions for the ritual to be activated.
"Yes, and there are two kinds."
Chen Xuan said.
One is to merge JΓΆrmungΓ₯rd and Fenrir into a complete king of the earth and the mountain, and forcibly open Niflheim with the authority of Hela, the god of death.
But it is unclear whether Hela's authority will work against this original Nibelungen.
One is to use the spiritual authority of the White King to find the key to Niforheim in Chen Motong's soul.
This method is more secure, but it is more difficult than the first one, as the White King is stronger than the Full Body Dragon King.
Lu Mingfei's expression moved, he had both of these conditions.
"Sure enough, the White King's dragon bone cross is also in your hand."
Chen Xuan is also a master of observing words and feelings, and immediately understood everything.
Lu Mingfei ignored his temptation and fell into thought.
Although both conditions are met, there are many problems.
Not to mention whether Xia Mi is willing to devour her stupid brother, even if she forcibly lets them merge, I'm afraid it will be a backlash on the spot.
And it is also a question of who will fuse the dragon bone cross of the White King, except for himself, I am afraid that no one can guarantee to defeat the remaining spirit of the White King inside.
"Do you have a way to deal with the Black King?"
Lu Mingfei put down this question first and asked about something else.
"Yes, but in the hands of the Gattuso."
There are not many artifacts of guns in the mythology of various countries, and the only one that can be compared with Odin's Gangerny or even more famous than one head is the spear that killed Jesus.
"The Spear of Longinus, this artifact is not an alchemical creation, or even made of earth's substance."
Chen Xuan said.
The Chen family had obtained this weapon and conducted research, but before it could be transported back to China, it was intercepted halfway.
But that was more than a thousand years ago, and at that time, the Gattuso family was just a small landowner in the countryside, and obviously did not have that strength.
Of course, Chen Xuan still had doubts in his heart, but he only mentioned it to others.
"This spear can pierce all words, and dragons or half-bloods stabbed by this spear can no longer use any words, and even their innate authority will be sealed. And the Black King, who only has only physical strength left, is just a big target in front of modern weapons. β
Chen Xuan said with a little pride.
"Then why doesn't Gattuso use it?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
If the spear of Longinus was really that powerful, then Gattuso didn't need him and Ange at all.
Even if the White King is unpredictable, the four monarchs are not just killing indiscriminately?
"Because there are limitations. The Spear of Longinus will automatically disappear after being used once, and will not appear anywhere in the world until 500 years later. And the time of the arrival of the evil star is uncertain, but it is certainly not five hundred years old. β
Chen Xuan replied.
This Lu Mingfei knew that although Xia Mi didn't know what the murderous star was, she knew that the day of the Black King's return was coming.
"How much do you know about the Age of Mythology?"
He changed the subject.
Hearing Lu Mingfei's question, Chen Xuan's pupils shrank.
"I'm not sure if what you're saying is the one I understand."
He asked, pondering his words.
"Before the dragons, there was an era of greater prosperity and strength."
"It's not so much more prosperous as more chaotic."
Chen Xuan was a little hesitant, but finally decided to reveal something.
"The exact time of the appearance of dragons is unknown, but it will not be earlier than 100,000 years ago, and the earliest hominin has appeared 2.5 million years ago."
Lu Mingfei nodded, he had reviewed this historical knowledge after he came back.
"Between 250 and 100,000 years ago, the earth and humanity were ruled by other powerful beings, and people called these beings with unimaginable powers gods and created various myths for them, and that era is also known as the Age of Mythology."
Chen Xuan continued to tell the story.
"And then?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"And then there wasn't, and that's all we knew. Everything about the age of mythology is a mystery, all the intelligence is fragmentary, and connecting them together is often a matter of guesswork. β
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"However, it is certain that the dragons are very closely related to the age of mythology. The names they use, and even the myths they concoct, are mostly reenactments of mythological times. β
The interrogation of Chen Xuan lasted for a whole week, and the patriarch of this 10,000-year-old half-blood family knew more secrets than the secret party's database.
Even if he only picked up the important and what he could say, it made Lu Mingfei gain a lot.
Although Chen Xuan kept his promise and lifted the binding from the alchemy array, Lu Mingfei did not kill him.
Such a living dictionary is more useful to keep than to die.
During this period, Lu Mingfei also received a not-so-unexpected news.
Chen Motong is missing.
"It is said that he disappeared while tracking the mission target, and the executive department sent a large number of people to find it, and also applied to use the Sky Eye, but no trace of his whereabouts was found."
Akina Sakai, who was temporarily transferred back to stay behind, said.
Lu Mingfei smiled mockingly, there was no difference between using the eye of heaven to find Chen Motong and asking a thief to help find stolen goods.
"Caesar's reaction?"
He asked.
"He was very anxious, and he had also come to the Spark Pavilion, and left after knowing that the warband had a major operation."
Akina Sakai replied.
Lu Mingfei sighed, according to the friendship between the two sides, he should tell Caesar the truth, but this truth is too cruel, and now is not the time.
However, he also seemed to have discovered something. This morning, Klein saw him driving the Ferrari out of the Academy. β
Akina Sakai added.
"Got it."
Lu Mingfei hung up the phone.
The Gattuso family's reaction was still very fast, knowing that they couldn't snatch Chen Xuan from him, so they directly took Chen Motong away from the bottom of the kettle.
It would be better for them to keep it for a while, so that he would not have to face the condemnation of his conscience.
Of course, when Lu Mingfei is ready to face the Black King, he will not have any hesitation.
The interrogation of Chen Xuan is important, and the handling of the loot is also going on simultaneously.
For alchemy techniques, the Rock Flow Research Institute picked out the ones they could digest, and handed over the rest to the Equipment Department.
The alchemy items were picked out from the practical ones of the battle group and those that even Chen Xuan didn't know how to use, and the rest were handed over to the Japanese branch and distributed by Yuan Zhisheng himself.
Both as a reward and to help Gen Zhisheng consolidate his power.
The losses of the Japanese branch this time were not small, after all, it was the Chen family, which even the secret party was a little afraid of, even if the preparations were sufficient, but the Kwantung branch still suffered nearly one-third of the casualties.
But Lu Mingfei felt that the loyalty of the survivors to the battle group or to him had greatly increased.
It's hard to understand the thinking of these Japanese hybrids, but it's a good thing.
After packing up their hands, the warband returned to Kassel with the rest of the loot.
As soon as he returned to Kassel, Lu Mingfei asked Fingal to invite the vice principal.
"What? Let me help you identify alchemy items. You kid is getting more and more excessive, don't really take the vice principal as a leader. β
Nicholas Flamel said with an unkind face.
"You can choose three of the items you have identified as payment."
Lu Mingfei issued conditions.
"So generous?"
The vice-principal's face was much better.
He knew that Lu Mingfei had copied the Chen family, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, not to mention that the Chen family was still a big fat pig, and it must be all good things.
"And for the time being, there is no need for fine identification, only the identification of whether it is an alchemy item or not."
Lu Mingfei said.
"Mysterious God, okay, let Fingal send the things to the equipment department."
The vice-principal agreed.
The attic where he lives naturally has relevant equipment, but it is more convenient to identify large quantities in the equipment department.
As the most outstanding alchemy master of our time, coupled with Lu Mingfei's simple requirements, the vice principal's efficiency was very fast, and it only took three days to complete all the appraisals.
Putting aside those that were sure to be alchemy items first, Lu Mingfei handed over the rest of the loot to Klein.
Both the Chen family and the vice principal were sure that what did not belong to alchemy items was a relic of the mythological era, and it was very likely that it was a relic of the mythological era.
And Klein did not live up to his expectations, and soon reaped the rewards.
"You say it's the same mysterious artifact as the Necronomicon?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the object in front of him and asked.
"That's right, I call it the Silver Key."
Crane said, picking up the large, strangely shaped silver key.
