Chapter 231: Runaway Konstantin
Chapter 232: Runaway Konstantin
In the Nibelungen of the White Emperor City.
The bronze city prostrates under a grey sky like a dead beast.
Lu Mingfei and the four of them came out of the water and walked slowly down the street, avoiding the corpses strewn across the street, so as not to accidentally step on the white bones or those armor.
"Call Professor Mance, call Professor Mance ......" Lu Mingfei pressed the speak button of the communication channel, called twice as usual, and stopped calling after no response.
The signal in the Nibelungen was very weak, but it didn't seem to be completely absent, so he, Charlotte, and Fingal called the Moniach every few minutes, but never got a response.
But Lu Mingfei always insisted on calling every few minutes, lest Professor Mance think that he had died like last time, and when he got on the boat, his memorial service was almost time to say goodbye to his body.
Charlotte looked down at the armor on the white bones as she walked, as well as the long soldiers in her hands, and her eyes flashed with surprise: "These armors seem to be the style of the Han Dynasty in ancient China, and these bones are also human-like, they should be some half-bloods with relatively low blood and no change in bone form...... Are they here to crusade against the army of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the Lord of Bronze and Fire? β
As the sole heir to the Goettingen family, Charlotte received rigorous training and education from an early age, including knowledge of dragon history in countries around the world β of course, the extent to which her "dragon history" is correct, given the limited knowledge of dragons among half-breeds.
However, "Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu killed the King of Bronze and Fire" This point was written into the history books by scholars of the secret party after many verifications, and it should be impossible to be wrong, so Charlotte thought of this for the first time.
"Although I am not interested in world history, I also know that the Han Dynasty in China is a dynasty almost 2,000 years ago, and it will still be preserved after 2,000 years...... Fresh, isn't it a bit excessive? "Wine De Mai said.
For more than a thousand years, human bones that were exposed to the air should have degraded long ago.
"This is the Nibelungen, the rules can't be copied from reality, theoretically some Nibelungen can even force things that should be dead to remain in the world," Charlotte explained before she could speak, Lu Mingfei explained, "In the Nibelungen, the king of bronze and fire, it's normal that weapons won't rust, but I don't know why these skeletons can maintain their form." β
As he spoke, he crouched down and examined the style of the armor and weapons in front of him, he was not as well-informed as Charlotte in this regard, and could not tell what age of armor it was, but ......
Fingertips swept across the surface of these armors, and his fingers gently flicked those sharp blades, Lu Mingfei was a little surprised: "These armors and weapons all seem to be made of alchemy metal ......"
"Alchemy metal?" Charlotte was stunned for a moment, squatted beside Lu Mingfei, and checked the set of armor he had checked, "That's really the case...... It's no wonder that they wear metal armor and weapons against the Lord of Bronze and Fire, whose authority can control both fire and metal, but alchemy metal is conceptually a metal that has been slain and is hardly affected by the Lord of Bronze and Fire...... Equip all soldiers with armor made of alchemy metal, although the level is not high, but ...... Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? β
Charlotte asked herself if she was also a person who had seen a big scene, but she never thought that there was an army in the world that could be so inhuman that the whole army was equipped with alchemy weapons, even in the modern era of unprecedented development of productivity, the cost of arming such an army was astronomical.
"It's worthy of the Han Empire, which was once on top of the world alongside the Roman Empire......," Charlotte muttered.
She subconsciously turned her head to glance at Lu Mingfei, but found that Lu Mingfei's expression was as usual, with a look of "I haven't seen any big scenes".
So Charlotte decisively sorted out her expression.
It's too embarrassing to not be able to show this kind of unseen appearance in front of Lu Mingfei!
Lu Mingfei didn't deliberately put on this expression, he had indeed seen a big scene - not long ago, he had seen a scene in Norton's memory that was suspected of the Yellow Emperor slaying a dragon.
"There's a watchtower ahead," Lu Mingfei stood up and looked at a building that was significantly taller not far away, "it's a building used as a watchtower in the ancient city, and we should be able to see the terrain here when we go up." β
"It won't be dangerous, will it?" Fingal said in fear.
"In the Nibelungen, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, there can be danger anywhere," Lu Mingfei shrugged, "Let's go up to see if we can take advantage of the terrain to detect some dangers in advance and avoid them." β
β¦β¦
The watchtower is not far from the location of Lu Mingfei and others, because they quickly walked to the watchtower, the watchtower as a practical building, and the general building is not very different, the overall look is a bit similar to a square column, the top of each floor extends outward a layer of cornices, but there is still some floating decoration outside, from this point of view, if the bronze city is not simply a copy of some buildings or even a city, then the king of bronze and fire is still a master of art.
The door of the watchtower was closed, but Lu Mingfei and the others had no intention of leaving.
With their bloodline, it is not difficult to achieve the kind of light work of flying eaves and walking on the wall and climbing the roof in the martial arts TV series, with their strong physical fitness, Lu Mingfei and the four of them easily climbed to the top along the embossed decoration and eaves of the watchtower.
As soon as he reached the top of the watchtower, Lu Mingfei stood firm and looked down at the bronze city below.
Even though he had seen the suspected "Battle of Zhuolu" scene in Norton's memory, Lu Mingfei still had a feeling of trance - there was really an ancient city below.
Straight streets divide the city into different districts, and the houses are neatly arranged along the streets...... Aside from the fact that it is made entirely of bronze, it seems to be no different from a city where humans live.
Apart from......
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the very center of the city, where the ruler's palace should have stood, but now the palace was in ruinsβto be precise, where it should have been, there were only a few metal ruins left, and there was a noticeable huge depression, and with it as the center, the devastating damage radiated in all directions.
This huge crater stretches across the center of the city, occupying nearly a third of the area, as if a large hole had been burned out of the white paper.
"Oh, ......," Fingal, who climbed the watchtower behind Lu Mingfei, pointed to the ruins of the palace, "Has this been hit by a meteorite?" β
"It's like being bombed by a nuclear bomb......" Mai muttered as she looked in the direction of the palace.
"In that era, the only possibility of causing this level of destruction was the Spirit of Words or the Alchemy Realm," Charlotte frowned, "I'm afraid that an incomparably powerful Spirit of Words broke out there, I don't know if it came from the Lord of Bronze and Fire or came to kill his half-blood." β
Lu Mingfei contemplated it, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, the flow of the surrounding elements seemed to have been affected in some way, and the originally chaotic elements suddenly became orderly, and converged in one direction, among which the fire element was particularly active, like courtiers worshipping the king from all directions - towards the pit caused by the god-level spirit of words!
"Charlotte, do you feel anything is wrong?" Lu Mingfei looked at the other alchemist in the team, because he had tempered his spiritual power, the alchemist's perception of the elements would be more acute than that of other half-bloods.
Element...... Seems to be flowing? Charlotte's expression turned from solemn to iron-blue, looking in the direction of the elemental convergence, "What powerful being there can command the elemental!" Especially the fire elemental! β
"Can you command the fire elemental?!" Fingal wept with a sad face, "Isn't that ......?"
"Lord of Bronze and Fire." Mai hissed.
"We're not going to be so unlucky, just in time for a dragon king to wake up, right?" Charlotte smiled wryly.
"Hopefully he's not out of bed." Lu Mingfei frowned deeply.
He was confident in the seal he had given to Old Tang, and if nothing else, it should be another king who had awakened, Konstantin.
Now it's troublesome, the Lord is awake, and it's not easy for him to get something out of the Nibelungen...... I don't know if Konstantin and Norton have a good relationship, and if they can be generous in helping him get his brother back.
Of course, the premise is that Konstantin will recognize this amnesiac brother and that they have a good relationship with each other.
Anyway, I don't know if Old Tang came in...... Lu Mingfei thought in his heart.
An earth-shattering roar erupted from the crater in the center of the city, interrupting Lu Mingfei's thoughts.
The premature dragon soared into the sky, and no one could have imagined how its small building-like body could be hidden in a ruined wall undiscovered, but the moment it rose into the air, the shadow of the membranous wings fell as if clouds and rain were converging.
Those fire elementals are converging towards it!
"King of Bronze and Fire!" Fingal lowered his voice and screamed, looking like he was going to pass out at any moment.
"Don't be ashamed!" Lu Mingfei kicked him, "This is just a second generation." β
He recognized it at a glance, wasn't that dragon Samson?
"Brother Fei, are you sure that the word "only" should be used for the next generation?" Fingal shuddered.
Jiude Mai also recognized Samson, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei - fortunately, Lu Mingfei was here, otherwise she was not sure if Samson would let go of her ordinary half-breed for the sake of having met her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous aura in his eyes.
As a ninja who is proficient in human nature, Jiude Mai read a meaning from Lu Mingfei's eyes - do you want to kill her and save her from revealing my secret?
Trembling, Jiude Mai stood still, her hands on the sides of her body hanging down, her eyes lowered, looking well-behaved and honest.
If other people want to kill the wine, De Mai will definitely not be restrained, and will definitely fight back, but if you change to Lu Mingfei...... It didn't seem to be much for her to resist.
Lu Mingfei was indeed a little worried, but he was not worried that Jiude Mai would reveal his secret, but Samson suddenly flew over and said to him: "Have you brought my majesty back?" β
How will he explain it to the rest of the people then? Charlotte and Fingal can't be wiped out here.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to have to worry about this problem, just after Samson lifted off into the air, another slender black shadow rose up like a tentacle, tied it in mid-air, and dragged it back to the ground, shaking the bronze city slightly, especially Lu Mingfei and the four of them stood on the watchtower, and when the watchtower shook, their shaking feeling was even more obvious.
Lu Mingfei looked intently, and it was not a tentacle that was dragging Samson back to the ground, but another dragonβa dark cyan dragon like a snake.
The dragon's form was somewhat similar to the "Ying Dragon" he had seen in Norton's memory, except that it didn't even have membranous wings, and it looked stronger overall.
The two dragons fight on the ground, and although the dragon without membrane wings does not seem to be able to fly, it looks extremely agile, and whenever Samson wants to rise into the air to gain an advantage, he will be dragged down desperately, and once Samson is dragged down, he will immediately fall into a disadvantage.
And I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Mingfei always feels that Samson doesn't seem to dare to let go of his hands and feet to fight, every time it comes to the time when he can desperately exchange injuries for each other, Samson will turn to protect himself, although he has mitigated the damage he has suffered, but it gives the dark cyan snake dragon a greater advantage.
Could it be that Samson was afraid of death? It shouldn't be, it has lived for so many years, it must have prepared its eggs a long time ago, and it's a big deal to be cocooned and reborn after death, what's so scary?
And even if the battle reached this point, Samson was covered in bruises, and the fire elemental was still converging towards it.
Even if it's a secondary species, it shouldn't be able to summon the elements to release the spirit of speech in this situation, right? Lu Mingfei watched the battle between the two behemoths and fell into thought.
Unless...... Those converging fire elementals are not controlled by Samson!
Could it be ...... Lu Mingfei stared at Samson, his brows furrowed.
The shaking suddenly became more violent, interrupting Lu Mingfei's gaze, this time the shaking was particularly violent, it seemed that it was not transmitted from Samson's battlefield, but the whole city was shaking violently, Fingal was lying directly on the roof of the building, Jiude Mai was still able to stabilize her body as a ninja, but Charlotte almost fell, but fortunately, Lu Mingfei quickly helped her.
"What's going on? What else! Fingal lay on the ground, his head in his hands, "I'm leaning and leaning!!!! β
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Below! Below! Lived! Alive, ahh
Lu Mingfei looked down, and the white bones lying on the street below staggered to their feet, wearing armor, holding weapons, opening and closing their chins, letting out a silent roar, and immediately rushed towards the two behemoths in the center of the city.
"Everything is possible in the Nibelungen......" Lu Mingfei tugged at the corners of his mouth.
β¦β¦
Nibelungen, in the moat.
Old Tang waded across the moat, climbed onto the streets of the city, looked at the two tumbling black shadows in the center of the city with awe, and took off his diving helmet.
When he first came to this inexplicable place, he hadn't realized what the two huge black shadows in the city were, and after a closer look, he realized that it was actually a giant dragon fighting a giant snake!
"Mom, that's scary! Brother Fei didn't tell me that there was such a project, Brother Fei could make me miserable......" Old Tang cried with a sad face.
He didn't want to stay here, but he couldn't find a way out.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there is nothing strange around him, only white bones and dead corpses everywhere.
For ordinary people, it is already terrible to be covered with white bones, but for Lao Tang, a hunter, a dead person is not a scary thing, and a living thing is more terrifying, after all, a living thing can move and kill, and it is impossible for a corpse to stand again......
it! Stand up!
Old Tang looked at the white bones beside him standing up one by one, his face was blank, and his legs were also wooden.
It's not that he doesn't want to run, the main thing is that he knows that as soon as he moves, his legs will be weak, and as soon as his legs are weak, he will lie down.
Just when Old Tang secretly said in his heart that my life was at stake, not far away, from the place where the two dragons were fighting, a pitch-black shadow flew out from the dragon and was heading in his direction.
The black shadow landed, and less than a hundred meters in front of Old Tang, a flame "flowed" from a cracked metal can.
Immediately, the flame "crawled" up as if it had a body, turned into a vague human form, and slowly turned its "head" to "look" at Old Tang.
Old Tang grimaced, thinking about whether he could go to heaven after death from the beginning of believing in God.
