Chapter 165 Let Go of the So-Called Fate, Constantine
"The White Emperor City was ultimately destroyed in history by the Candle Dragon that broke out in Norton, Sequence 114, the undoubted violence of fire." Lu Mingfei and Fingel discussed countermeasures as they hurried on.
"I can probably guess the power of the candle dragon. In terms of sequence, No. 112 Yanling Rhine can cause the terrifying Tunguska explosion. The explosion power is equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT explosives, exceeding 80 million tons within 2,150 square kilometers. When a tree burns down and falls, it is 1,000 times more powerful than the GD atomic bomb, and the candle dragon's sequence number is 114, so the power will only be even greater." Fingel said: "But that was Norton's trick, quite powerful. His finishing move cannot be handed over casually. This level of word spirit classification is called 'Destroying the World', and it really has the ability to destroy the world."
"I think Norton must not have used a complete candle dragon when he destroyed Baidi City. Otherwise, the map in this area would have to be redrawn. Maybe those hybrids did something, or maybe Norton didn't have the ability to use a complete candle dragon. " Lu Mingfei said.
"This army is Emperor Liu Xiu's army, right? Is it specially used to destroy the Dragon King?"
"It should be that this was a targeted attack. This force was established after Liu Xiu entered Sichuan. It is recorded in the literature that after this attack, the King of Bronze and Fire disappeared, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty successfully unified China. to the East and the West, and established the Eastern Han Dynasty." Lu Mingfei recalled the details he saw in the documents.
He has been working in Professor Guderian's laboratory for several months. As long as there are documents related to the Lord of Bronze and Fire, he will take a few more glances. However, the records in this part are quite few and are very old. Most of them are just legends. .
Although there are no detailed records, Norton and Constantine probably died in the raid organized by Liu Xiu.
Lu Mingfei did some research on this legendary emperor.
It is said that there were no lights on the night Liu Xiu was born, but red light illuminated the whole room.
Although Liu Xiu was a descendant of the Han Dynasty, due to the favor order, his generation was already a small branch.
The so-called Tuien Order was an important decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to consolidate his political power. It required the princes to allocate their territories to their own children, so that the power of the princes could be gradually weakened and the vassal states that ruled the world would become smaller and smaller. It cannot threaten the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Xiu had the blood of the Han Dynasty, he had no power or influence and could only make a living by farming. If he had not been born in troubled times, he would have been a farmer for the rest of his life.
He also had an older brother. One of his friends was involved in a crime and Liu Xiu was arrested and imprisoned. After being reformed in prison, Liu Xiu changed from a quiet young man to a gangster.
Liu Xiu is most praised not only for his military ability, but also for his good luck.
As if he was destined to become an emperor, his experience is difficult to repeat.
Wang Mang captured Liu Xiu before he gained power. At that time, Wang Mang successfully usurped the Han Dynasty after many twists and turns, but his heart was never at peace because he knew that his world was not conquered by swords and guns, and many people did not obey him. , and the Liu family's clan members are scattered all over the country, and just using the name of "Han Dynasty Orthodoxy" can gather a lot of power.
At this time, there was a prophecy among the people that a man named Liu Xiu would become emperor.
Wang Mang, who was already worried, was terrified day and night after learning about it, and immediately ordered a nationwide search for Liu Xiu.
As luck would have it, a guy named Liu Xin heard this rumor, changed his name to Liu Xiu, and promoted it everywhere, imagining that he could become emperor.
If you don’t arrest me, who will I arrest?
This unlucky guy became Liu Xiu's scapegoat, but the real Liu Xiu was safe and sound.
What followed was the most legendary scene in Liu Xiu's life. He pitted an army of 20,000 against an army of 400,000 and easily won.
What is the concept of 20,000 versus 400,000?
On average, each person is one to twenty. Even if all of these people are strong men like Lu Bu, it is difficult to say that they can win in a frontal battle. Even if they win, it will only be a miserable victory.
But Liu Xiu did not follow martial ethics. Before the battle started, a meteorite fell from the sky and hit the hinterland of the place. Then it rained heavily and the enemy army was shattered. Liu Xiu led an army of 20,000 to rush forward and achieved the most incredible victory with less in history. Many miracles.
If you dare to write like this in a novel, there will be a bunch of people on the spot saying that it is "poisonous to death", "does not conform to the logic of reality at all", and "good writing is not so good".
It was as if he was really blessed by the invisible "National Destiny of the Han Dynasty". He was destined by fate, and even the King of Bronze and Fire was no match for him.
"Our goal is to collect eggs." Lu Mingfei and Fingel stopped in front of the dry river bed. "Although it is said to be an egg, it is not an egg, but a brass jar."
Lu Mingfei gestured with his hands up and down, and opened it about half a meter: "It's about this big. I can't see what's inside."
"Can?" Fingel nodded.
"After we find it, we must stay away from Baidi City immediately. No one knows when Zhulong will erupt." Lu Mingfei said.
"The key is where to find it. Eggs are one of the most important things for dragons. With this thing, they can be resurrected." Fingel said: "With such a big jar, Norton in human form cannot carry it with him or hide it. In a very secluded place, or let your men guard you."
"When I was executing the Kuimen plan, I encountered an ancient dragon. It was very strong and could withstand torpedoes. It broke a warship in half. After obtaining the eggs, this ancient dragon appeared from the Bronze City. Then It should be the guardian of the egg.”
"From your description, it seems that it is a first-generation dragon attendant who belongs directly to Commander Norton." Fingel touched his chin and looked at the Bronze City next to him: "There is a high probability that the egg is in the Bronze City. Have you been there? Inside?"
It doesn't look like a city, but instead looks like an oversized bronze Rubik's Cube. Various ancient patterns are carved on the surface of the bronze wall. It is about 20 meters high and is obviously one size smaller than the Baidi City next to it. , but it is also very big. Humans can only look up when standing in front of such a behemoth. It is difficult to imagine how it was made. Perhaps as the professors suspected, Norton dug through a mountain as a mold and poured the copper slurry into it. Go in and cast such a miracle.
The precision parts, various mechanisms, and how much effort it took to build it are daunting to think about.
"I haven't gone in personally." Lu Mingfei shook his head: "But I know there are many mechanisms inside, but there doesn't seem to be any ranged attacks like poison gas. If I were to go in, I should be able to escape unscathed."
Lu Mingfei shook the magic prosthetic hand on his left hand. He had already demonstrated his mobility to Fingel before. It was really incomparable with or without equipment.
"Let's do this, you go to Bronze City, and I'll go to Baidi City." Fingel said.
This allocation is the most reasonable. It does not mean that Baidi City is less dangerous. So when Fingel goes to Baidi City, he does not have the mobility like Lu Mingfei and is not suitable for hiding in a city full of agencies. To put it bluntly, it is A sign of trust.
"Okay." There was no need to explain anything. Lu Mingfei nodded, "Are you armed?"
"No need." Fingel smiled: "My spirit of speech is the bronze throne, and my body is my best weapon."
Lu Mingfei knew it clearly, saying that he had completed the practice of spiritual knowledge and knew the efficacy of the bronze throne.
Sequence 87, although the name contains the word "bronze", its bloodline origin is the Black King Nidhogg. It can strengthen its own muscles, bones and skin in a short period of time. When opened at full strength, it can even Being able to physically resist bullets is equivalent to strengthening the physical fitness of humans to that of dragons in a short period of time.
Each time the Bronze Throne is released, it stimulates the releaser's muscles, strengthening them on a deeper level.
Fingel's muscle density is much greater than that of ordinary people. Even so, his body is also very burly. He has fought many times, and his powerful posture is being released in a flamboyant manner.
"We still have one hour and twenty-six minutes." Lu Mingfei glanced at his watch: "Anyway, if you encounter any dangerous situation, avoid it first and wait as long as possible. When the time is up, we should go back."
"You seem quite experienced?"
"Strictly speaking, this is the second time I have experienced this kind of time-travel incident. I do have more experience than you." Lu Mingfei said: "Norton's pseudonym Li Xiongming is an important minister of Gongsun Shu, and now Liu Xiu has entered Sichuan. , Li Xiong has been named Grand Situ and enjoys his own mansion in the city. You can go and see if there is a 'Situ Mansion'. If you meet Norton, be careful. Liu Xiu's troops will enter the city 20 minutes behind us at most. , you can wait until they attract Norton’s attention before coming forward.”
"Don't worry, I cherish my life." Fingel said with a smile: "I can survive because God has rewarded me for a few more years. I still have revenge to avenge and people I want to see. , since God has rewarded me with half a life, then of course I will finish what I have not finished before I die."
"Why half a strip?"
"Because I kept the other half with the God of Death." The bones all over Fingel's body made an explosive sound.
The two high-fived each other and walked away in different directions.
Tiny strands of rain were still falling, hazy, like mist, and the only sound left was the sound of falling rain.
In front of you is a bronze corridor, with countless bronze sculptures standing on both sides of the corridor, wearing the costumes of officials and generals, holding tooth wats in their hands.
Slender snake necks protruded from the collar of the robe and armor, and the cobra-like snakes had hats on their heads. These snakes bowed slightly, with their heads leaning forward, as if they were saluting.
The ever-burning lamp lit up the flame and illuminated the corridor. The two people walked in the middle of the corridor. Norton held Constantine's hand and walked step by step on the road to the temple.
Anyone who wants to meet the Dragon King must pass through the Temple Road. The snake-faced sculptures on both sides represent the metal elements controlled by Norton. They are arranged according to the alchemical element table. There are 88 types in total. When the subjects first walked this road , will withstand the test of the sculpture. If it fails to reach the end, it will lose the qualification to meet the Dragon King.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, and water flowed on both sides of the road. Following the direction of the water, they arrived at an open space.
Constantine took a step forward, opened his mouth, and golden flames spit out from his mouth. In an instant, the place was filled with brilliance like the sun. A huge tree was carved on the bronze top like a sky, growing from the center and changing into Countless branches and leaves, countless petals.
These patterns are not just carvings, but dragon inscriptions with mysterious power.
This is an egg-like space, with the lower part filled with clear water. The water is calm but not flowing.
A huge snake-faced figure sat against the bronze wall. Different from the one in the corridor, this figure was twenty meters tall.
"Brother, do you really want to give up?" Constantine held Norton's hand tightly with his hand and said tremblingly: "We have been preparing for so long, do we really want to give up?"
Constantine looked at Norton and pursed his lips: "Why don't you eat me? If you eat me, my brother can break through any kind of prison or shackles."
Norton shook his head, gently touched Constantine's face, and looked into his clear pupils: "For thousands of years, you have been the only one with me. I thought my wish was to raise the battle flag and return to my hometown. Swallowing this world, but only after thousands of years of separation did I understand what was most important to me.”
"But brother!" Constantine said anxiously: "Aren't we crossing the wasteland just for the fate we bear? Should we just give up like this and wait for the end? There will be no way to recover."
"Let go of the so-called fate, Constantine, we have already shouldered too much, it is better to end it here."
Norton's eyes became gentler than ever before, and Constantine was a little at a loss. He had never seen his brother look so gentle. His brother had always been very strict with him and was always training him.
In the past, there were humans who wanted to challenge the authority of the Dragon King. My brother tied the man and sent him in front of him, asking him to take up weapons and chop off the human heads instead of simply burning everything to ashes with flames.
"Open your eyes! Constantine! Drink the blood with the knife in your hand!"
"Don't tremble! Take up arms!"
"For the sake of the fate we bear, you must abandon your cowardice!"
This is something he often hears, but he always disappoints his brother.
"Then will my brother eat me?" Constantine's pupils flashed with uneasiness.
"No more." Norton said calmly.
Tears welled up from Constantine's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said with an almost trembling voice: "Brother, don't you want me anymore?"
"I will become stronger." Constantine wiped his tears with his sleeves, "Don't abandon me. I will work hard to become qualified food for my brother to eat."
His body twitched, he took a step forward, hugged Norton's leg, and tried not to cry.
The golden flames in mid-air flashed restlessly and became very unstable.
If you kicked him away at this time, he would definitely crawl over crying and continue to hold on to your legs.
"We will always be together in the future and never be separated." Norton stroked Constantine's long hair down, "It's just a change of place to settle down. From now on, we will change our name to human beings and no longer participate in the rest of the war. You know Sakura Do you want cake? I will take you to try it if I have a chance."
