Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

The phone behind him rang suddenly, startling Norton.

He turned around and picked up the cell phone by the pool, his gaze fixed, the caller was that guy!
He hesitated for a while, put the phone back where it was, and pretended he didn't hear it...

He slowly sank into the hot spring pool, the sound of the bell was mostly separated by the hot spring water, making it seem much lower.

"Sir, your phone is ringing. It's Mr. Lu calling."

The voice of the butler pulled Norton out of the hot spring pool. The butler had been guarding not far away. He heard the phone ringing, but he didn't answer it for a long time. He walked over to check the situation, and called out the man submerged in the water softly.

Norton's face darkened, and he replied in a muffled voice, taking the mobile phone he handed over.

Seeing that the butler didn't leave, he said with a straight face: "I want to eat ramen, go and prepare supper for me."

"Okay, sir, is it still pork bone flavor?" the butler bowed.

"For seafood, I want abalone and sea urchin ramen, the hand-ground kind."

After dismissing the housekeeper, Norton looked at the phone that he hadn't hung up yet, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This time there is no reason not to pick up, if the other party learns about the situation just now from the housekeeper, things will explode.

Before connecting, he took another look at the appearance of the butler leaving, and the old guy turned around to look at him, and bowed back with a smile on his face.

Tsk... that look seems to say that you better get through quickly.

Norton suppressed his dissatisfaction and pressed the answer button, and there was an impatient voice over there.

"Where are you shitting, it took you so long to pick it up? Didn't you fall into the pit?"

Listen, is this what a sovereign can say? !

vulgar!

As expected, he has completely degenerated. I guessed correctly, he has been completely assimilated by human beings. Even if the dynasty is rebuilt, he will only become the kind of vegetarian who eats, drinks and has fun all day long!
"The phone wasn't with me just now, so I didn't hear it." Norton said honestly.

"Next time, remember to keep the phone close to you. Can you be a bit like a contemporary young man?" The other end of the phone said dissatisfied, "Don't be an example."

"Well." Norton said honestly.

"...Why are you so weird? You turned back into Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei on the other end of the phone asked in surprise.

That guy's tone doesn't sound right.

What exactly did Lu Mingze do to him? Before he left Tokyo, he met Norton and confirmed that he was still Norton.

But now, this guy's tone sounded somewhat similar to Old Tang's.

"I am Norton! Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire!" Norton emphasized angrily on the spot.

"Ah, yes, yes—" an extremely perfunctory answer.

"Let me ask you something. What happened to you being killed last time? It was the life when you assisted Gongsun Shu. You finally died in the bronze palace under the Three Gorges. What happened?"

Lu Mingfei asked seriously,
"No matter how bad you are, you can leave if you want to, right? Could ancient humans keep you? What I am most curious about is how your Bronze City was breached by humans, and your alchemy can block the previous ones. The White King's army has degenerated to the point where even humans can't stop it after thousands of years?"

"In addition, why did you choose to assist that human named Gongsun Shu? You are the King of Bronze and Fire, the dignified first-generation species, and you are subservient to a human being. Don't tell me that you are hiding your identity. Gongsun Shu is just you. The tools on the surface, according to the historical records of the secret party... Tsk, you were so embarrassed to call out so loudly that you are Norton."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue.

But Norton, who was reminded of the past, was rarely angry, but fell into silence.

"Do you know who killed us?" Norton said quietly.

"I know, Liu Xiu, the son of the plane. The only achievements I can get are politics and history."

"Son of the Plane... This description is very appropriate." Norton said in a low voice, "If you were born in that era, you will know what destiny is called."

Lu Mingfei wondered, "Is it appropriate for you to talk about destiny in front of me?"

"No, you didn't mean anything to me." Norton paused, "That man really seemed like the whole world was revolving around him. Gongsun Shu was indeed the object I chose to support, and the history recorded by the secret party is not all correct. Yes, you don't have to mock me."

"And the reason why I chose to support humans is because someone was secretly searching for traces of dragons. At that time, there were still many dragons in the land of the Central Plains, but in just a few decades, the number of dragons in the Central Plains decreased by half!"

"I haven't forgotten that special moment, everything started from that year."

Italy.

Lu Mingfei sat by the fountain, wondering, "A special time? What do you mean?"

"At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, in April of the fifth year, the comet came out of the northwest, reddish yellow, eight feet long, and more than ten feet long in the next few days, pointing northeast, at Shenfen..." Norton read in a low voice, "This sentence comes from " "Hanshu Astronomical Records" records a non-periodic comet, and it was also called "Julian's Star" in ancient Roman history."

Lu Mingfei's expression changed in an instant.

"During the decades after the comet passed by the earth, someone secretly started an ambush against the dragon clan. I tried to track it down, but in the end it was fruitless. Even I couldn't find any trace of that person. His methods were abnormal. So fierce, even the next generation species died in his hands."

"You are the first-generation species, and the second-generation species and the first-generation species are completely at two levels. Are you scared?" Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Yes, I'm scared." Norton said in a calm voice, "Aren't you curious why humans and hybrids can break through my Bronze City? The Bronze City is the strongest fortress I built, but in that battle, I portrayed All kinds of alchemy matrices lost their effect, and a mysterious force suppressed my alchemy."

Lu Mingfei's heart sank.

Now that the time has passed, he certainly knows where the power to suppress Norton's alchemy comes from.

When he heard about Caesar's Star, he guessed it!
"The enemy hidden in the dark holds a power that can restrain us. I can't help but be afraid. After losing alchemy and speech, Constantine and I are stronger humans. We don't even have time to conceive A dragon body, it takes a lot of energy to breed a dragon body, and humans in that era couldn't even afford to eat."

"It is precisely because of this that we support Gongsun Shu. I need him to cover up for me on the bright side. It would be even better if he can become emperor. I can completely control the Gongsun family in the past. But after that we met That human named Liu Xiu..."

Norton gasped a few times: "Do you know what destiny means? I tried to assassinate him seven times, seven times! All seven times failed by coincidence!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

Did a first-generation species personally assassinate a human monarch without hesitating to degrade his status, or did he fail seven times?

Is this a joke?
"Are you sure you weren't blocked?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"No! Although I did discover a mysterious force under Liu Xiu, these seven failed assassinations have nothing to do with them!" Norton said firmly.

"Okay..." Lu Mingfei touched his nose, "So the deaths of you and Constantine are related to that mysterious force hiding in the dark?"

"Yes, they have a strange power, which can suppress us very much." Norton hesitated, "But this power is not stable, and the other party doesn't want to show up, so I finally grabbed the gap and released [Candle Dragon] ], repelled all incoming enemies, blocked the entire bronze city, and made it sink to the bottom of the water."

"For the next few thousand years, Constantine and I have been sleeping in the egg. During this period, I faintly felt that someone was hovering around the Bronze City, but he seemed to be afraid of something and couldn't come in."

"Until a few decades ago, someone was wandering around the Bronze City again. This time he tried to break into the Bronze City. This movement woke me up. I forcibly emerged from the egg in advance. I was in a bad state, and managed to control the Bronze City to repel it. Because of waking up early, my memory is very fragmented, and my mental state is extremely poor. I accidentally walked out of the Bronze City and drifted far away along the current. Then I became the old Tang you know, and I woke up again...it was Kang The moment Standing died in front of me."

Lu Mingfei quietly listened to Norton's or Old Tang's self-narration.

This moment is all right, the reason why Norton woke up early, the reason why they were defeated back then.

Among them, there are several doubts.

One is the birth of the Star of Caesar. Lu Mingfei never thought that this meteorite would be related to Norton's death.

It turns out that someone discovered its secret thousands of years ago.

who is it?

The most likely object that Lu Mingfei could think of was Uroboros.

More than 2000 years ago, the heart of Caesar passed by the earth for the first time, and left various meteorite fragments at that time. It is suspected that the existence of Ouroboros has mastered the secrets and started hunting the dragons. Norton has also become His goal, but the powers at his disposal seemed incomplete, so that Norton escaped with his death.

He didn't want to show his face because he knew that the Dragon Clan would not really die, they had already left cocoons, and he didn't want to expose himself so soon.

But why did he hunt and kill the dragon clan?
Research?

If it is really Ouroboros, then this is completely in line with the setting of that scientist. Lu Mingfei thinks that the woman is the equipment department of the Second Sun Era, and it is an enhanced version.

And the second doubt, is Liu Xiu's destiny in Norton's mouth true or false?

Caesar told him not long ago that he could see the flow of the elemental sea, and the world would respond to his will.

If Liu Xiu also has this kind of ability, it is not a myth that the fate of the day will fall.

But where does this ability come from?

The power of the dragon clan comes from the key rooted in the blood, which is the "spirit" and the key that can communicate with the power of the elemental sea.

This key was stored in the dragon's blood by them in the early years.

Theoretically, if human beings also have a strong man like them, then "power transmission" can also be achieved.

But this is obviously impossible.

So where does this so-called power to be responded by the world come from?
Are they children selected by the elemental sea?
This reason is somewhat of a Digimon, but it is not impossible.

In a sense, he and Lu Mingze were the first creatures in this world to be selected by the sea of ​​elements.

It's just that some accidents seemed to happen on the way, which led to him having the power to counter the elemental sea.

According to that woman... she inherited the original will.

Does the so-called beginning refer to the First Sun?
Lu Mingfei sighed, there were too many doubts, and these doubts all faintly gathered in one place.

He had a hunch that all the secrets related to the elemental sea would be answered in the First Sun Epoch.

That... unknown Nibelungen in northern Siberia!
Lu Mingfei frowned, Lu Mingze woke up in this life, it was near Swan Harbor, and it was because of this that he fell into Herzog's hands.

Swan Harbor is in Siberia.

Has Lu Mingze also found the lost Nibelungen?

At least for now, Frissis has confirmed that it is real.

"Hey, are you still there?" Norton asked.

"En." Lu Mingfei responded, and asked again, "Is Constantine going to be born?"

"...soon." Norton glanced at the egg beside him, and said softly, "It will probably be this month."

"Can you guess what Frixis is trying to do now?"

"I can't guess, but you should be able to guess." Norton said in a deep voice, "He once said when he was drunk that everything he did was ordered by you!"

His instruction?

Lu Mingfei smiled wryly.

It was really his instruction, but now, he doesn't know what Frixis is going to do.

Many things are beyond their control, including Lu Mingze, Frixis, and those few prehistoric survivors.

It was as if the children around me had grown up suddenly and had their own will to do what they wanted to do.

"Call me after Constantine is born."

Norton in the hot spring listened to the busy tone of the earphones, put away his mobile phone, and was in a daze for a long time.

……

"Hey, is it EVA? Make arrangements for me, I'm ready to go to Siberia."

Lu Mingfei, who gave Norton a last word, made another call.

He looked up at the sun at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of dusk above his head, with a calm expression.

This trip to Siberia has finally come.

Lu Mingfei, who had already got an answer, had no reason to hesitate.

He has to face what he should face, and this is also the "examination question" left by his big brother.

The bet between them was far from over, and that time in Tokyo was just a trial.

The real bet is about to begin.

It was his everything that was put on the gaming table.

And Big Brother came empty-handed and went empty-handed.

He doesn't care what he wins, what he cares about is what he can win from him.

He wanted an answer, a reason, and only he could give him this answer.

And I will learn the last secret from this last bet.

"Received. In order to keep the news of your trip to Italy from being known to the Gattuso family, please go to the following coordinates and take a plane to France. There will be a special plane delivered to the designated location."

EVA's calm voice sounded.

"Commissioner Lu Mingfei, please keep in mind that in Dormitory 1, District 303 of Kassel, there will always be a girl named Erika Uesugi, waiting for you to knock on the door to go home."

There was a rumbling engine sound above his head, and a plane flew past his head, Lu Mingfei almost didn't hear what his senior sister said.

Lu Mingfei looked at the distant and lonely sky in autumn and smiled.

"Roger that!"
