The figure that looked like a devil or a god glanced sideways at the empty palace. The flames condensed around him seemed to be alive, circling around him excitedly. The red light was beating, making this originally unusual scene.

Why does the bright palace suddenly light up and darken?

"...I hate darkness." Facing the empty palace, the figure who has been accompanying darkness for thousands of years said.

The flame beside him seemed to have heard his order, and like the demon Ifrit in myths and legends, it danced in the dark hall, lighting up bronze lamps one after another.

The fire rose, illuminating the main hall, and the corners of the palace that were originally dark were also ignited, revealing the contents inside.

Countless bronze statues with snake heads and human bodies are like ancient courtiers, bowing and saluting the throne. Wearing ancient Confucian robes, they lowered their heads, and their silver snake eyes shone with dangerous light.

"...It's too quiet, it shouldn't be like this here." The figure on the throne said again.

As his voice fell, the sound of mechanical operation and metal friction emitted from the silent palace. As if in response to his call, the originally bent bronze statues straightened up, their silver eyes reflecting the images on the throne.

The shadow of the figure.

"Even so..." His dazzling eyes passed over these bronze statues that have been with him for thousands of years, and the figure sighed, "... you are just given life, but you are not considered real life."

Saying this, he stretched out his right hand covered with scales and sharp claws and waved towards the empty space.

The shriveled bulges burned, and hundreds, thousands, or even an undetermined number of bulges were burning. The temperature of the flames instantly heated the air in the palace to an extremely high level, even those that had not seen light for thousands of years and were extremely cold.

The bronze statue emitted little drops of water like sweat, but it was evaporated by the high temperature in the next second, leaving no steam behind.

But such high temperature did not affect the figure on the throne. Rather, such an environment could make him feel a little comfortable. But the comfort soon disappeared in his unbearable memories, even if this mythical

Palaces cannot avoid being buried by humans.

Memories from two thousand years ago flashed through his mind. The scene of fully armed human soldiers charging towards them on blindfolded horses was still vivid in his mind. The sound of the horse's hoofs was still in his heart.

It seemed to overlap with his violently beating heartbeat, reminding him not to forget that humiliating memory.

The sound of "Kacha, Kacha..." kept ringing in the palace. The burning drums shook, and then a creature that was so thin that it was impossible to think it was still alive jumped out of it.

The reason why it is said to be jumping is because this thing has nothing that can be called legs. Instead, it has fins that are as sharp as metal blades.

Originally a dragon subspecies that was more than five meters long and could be called the "King of Fishes" no matter where it was placed in any inland river or sea, its body shrank after being sucked by the figure on the throne.

Halfway through, his own flesh and blood had dried up to the point of being "skeleton-like".

But even so, they accepted the "living spirit" and were reborn in the name of "corpse guard", but they have a harder body than before. Their blade-like fins and sharp teeth can easily break through the defense of steel.

.

And more importantly, they became the "Corpse Guard" as a team that only listened to his orders. They would not be afraid when the enemy attacked, nor would they run away... They were like a perfect team.

Thousands of giant fish corpses danced in the bronze palace, hoping to enter the river that was brought in from outside the palace not far away. Their fins and scales rubbed against the bronze ground, leaving a harsh metallic friction sound.

and little sparks.

Even though they have been freed from the shackles of water after death, they still yearn for the rivers they once lived in. However, there is no other way. With their body structure, the abilities they can exert on land are less than one-tenth of those in water.

But even so... it's not enough.

Human beings two thousand years ago could use their numerical superiority to bulldoze these immortal armies. Now they are only more powerful than two thousand years ago. These words alone are not enough.

The figure on the throne stretched out his hand again, but this time there was no flame, but the sound of huge mechanical operation. The entire palace... no, including the Bronze City outside the palace began to operate.

After a sudden change that was so complex that even top modern engineers and alchemists were dazzled by it, a metal shell with an extremely ancient history like the city appeared in the palace.

The figure on the throne stood up and left the throne for the first time and came to the box. He stretched out his scaly claws and touched the metal shell made of an unknown material on the opened box. For the first time in his bright eyes,

There is emotional flow.

Seven ancient weapons popped out of the opened box, and emitted bursts of false alarms as if to welcome him. At the same time, an alchemical field that could make all pure-blood dragons fear was generated around the knife box, and the "

The "Corpse Guards" also swam farther away one after another, not daring to approach the areas covered by the domain.

This is a set of equipment that can devour the Lord. The figure with some understanding pulled out the Tang Dao-style weapon and carefully examined the supreme alchemy sword combination that could even cut him. Having participated in sword casting, he understood that this

The weapons prepared for their six brothers and sisters are a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer when used against humans who steal dragon flames. However, he understands the power of humans and will not underestimate anyone who is about to step into it.

The humans in this Bronze City.

"Brother... let me protect you this time." He murmured to someone who was not here. He inserted the Tang Dao back into the box and closed this terrifying alchemy field.

Arriving at the gate, he closed his eyes and recalled the figure who protected him behind him two thousand years ago and rained down the divine punishment of fire on the humans who broke into the temple in front of him.

Opening his eyes again, the last of the weakness disappeared. He pushed open the giant door, flapped his wings slightly behind him, and jumped onto the back of the giant dragon with a steel mask guarding the door.

Pulling the chain connecting the mask, he shouted loudly: "Let's go! Samson! Let this group of humans know that bronze and fire have returned!"

The giant dragon who sat down let out a roar and took him swimming into the endless dark river outside the Bronze City. Now that he was ready for war, he had to be more serious than he had been two thousand years ago. It was time to let him

Human beings have seen the true appearance of this bronze city, which has been famous since the mythical period.

…

Yawning, Lu Mingfei got out of the car he borrowed from the execution department, carrying breakfast for three... he should order lunch now.

It was extremely rare for him to get up very late today, not because he slept in, but because he had strange dreams one after another last night.

He had almost forgotten the specific content of the dream. He could only barely remember what one of his magic teachers seemed to have said to him, and that he had returned to the huge palace and seemed to have said something to someone there...

…In short, it’s just some inexplicable stuff.

Getting on the elevator without anyone else, he leaned against the bright inner wall of the elevator and yawned again. But as the elevator continued to rise, a certain change that he had experienced many times appeared again.

"Brother." The boy's voice sounded. Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at the boy who was opening the lunch he brought to taste.

"Hmm~, I like the Goubuli steamed stuffed buns here in the old city. They have plenty of fillings and are delicious. Unlike the ones in the new city, the fillings are cut corners and are expensive and unpalatable. They are not cost-effective at all.

I really didn’t expect such a comparison. Why are the shops in Xincheng District so much better than the ones here? Don’t these people even know whether the food is good or not?” While eating secretly, he also expressed his own evaluation.

, not at all as decadent as last night.

Then he pretended to sigh again and said to himself: "This is also a way of operating power. As long as you master a good position and play the young people that the so-called 'elites' in the CBD area will like,

"A person's first breakfast, no matter how unpalatable it is, this group of good-looking people who go with the flow can still praise it for you."

Seeing the boy who was still advocating the so-called "power and power" to him as always, Lu Mingfei breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, then suppressed the yawn he was about to utter, and continued to say with an expressionless face: "It's only been one night.

It’s really rare for you to come out for a walk on time.”

"That's not true. As your caring little brother, I have to report everything I find to you." Lu Mingze said this, and then when the corners of Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched, he took another bite of the bun.

Put it back in the box.

"Don't rush to scold me yet..." Facing Lu Mingfei, who had already stretched out his finger to give him a brain tease, the boy stretched out his hand, but he did not escape the blow.

Holding his head and squatting down, Lu Mingze muttered and said: "Something big is going to happen, something that can involve all the mixed races and ordinary people around the world."

He raised his head and glanced at Lu Mingfei with wide eyes: "Anyway, brother, you have to be prepared. That thing is not comparable to the prisoner or counterfeit you met... Huh? How do I remember this? I seemed to say

Pass?"

"Forget it, you'll know who my brother is after a while." With such a mysterious statement, as if he was afraid of being fooled again, the boy ran away as fast as he came.

In the elevator that was running again, Lu Mingfei looked at the bitten buns in the box with some hesitation. It felt too wasteful to throw it away, and it felt inappropriate to keep it... Then he lied to himself that it was bitten by the air.

Pop it into your mouth.

At the same time, he also contacted Menieke and the others who were wandering around the city and asked them to pay attention to their surroundings.

Because someone had mentioned it to him last night, he knew that there were many people from the college in the city hospital. After nodding and greeting many commissioners from the executive department on the road, he opened the door of the ward in front of him, but the scene inside

, but asked him to exit and take a look at the ward number, and found that it was the one he had been to last night.

In the single ward, my uncle was lying on the bed. He and Zero didn't know what to say, but occasionally they could hear the words "Elizabeth Palace", probably talking about some famous places in Moscow.

It was said that no one else in school could see Zero saying so many things except him.

Aunt and cousin were also there. One of them was discussing skin care and other topics that he didn't understand with Chen Motong. The other was hiding in the corner, not daring to talk to them, only daring to laugh happily with his uncle and aunt.

I glanced over there.

There was another person, Su Xiaoqiang. She was sitting there by herself, looking around, as if she wanted to get involved in the conversation, but she felt like she couldn't get in touch with anyone.

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to say hello for a moment. He wasn't surprised at all that these people would appear here, but he felt a little strange when they all came together. There were so many hours in a day, why did they bump into each other?

Together?

However, he was just a little strange, and walked into the ward with a normal expression and said: "I brought you food, but it seems a little insufficient."

Su Xiaoqiang looked surprised when he saw him coming in. She didn't know what was going on with those two people, so she, who was always eloquent in school, couldn't get a word in. So when she saw Lu Mingfei come in, she looked like she was seeing a savior.

He looked like: "Lu Mingfei, you're here!"

Originally she was just here to visit and she should leave soon, but somehow, when she saw these two college classmates and social friends of Lu Mingfei, she felt an inexplicable and unwilling mood to admit defeat. So she

It’s left until now, but the result is obvious.

But she has not started to learn how to put on makeup yet, so she can’t get involved in the topic of makeup at all. Her mother helped her prepare those things. Although she didn’t know how to put on the hospital gown, she also wore the evening dress last night.

The girl who wandered around the party and attracted the attention of countless people looked like she was very proficient in this subject.

She also knew a little about the topic of Elizabeth Palace, but the petite girl looked like "Actually, Elizabeth Palace is just like this and there is nothing interesting to see. If you have time to come to Moscow, I will take you to visit." It was like an invitation.

The feeling of having friends go to her house to play makes her even more unable to get in.

People in the ward had different reactions when they saw him coming. His uncle and aunt asked him why he got up so late and didn't answer the phone. Lu Mingfei said that he participated in the school's disaster relief yesterday, and his phone was out of battery and he fell asleep.

late.

And Ling stood up and called the president politely and politely (?) coldly, making his uncle and others who already knew this couldn't help but look surprised. It was the same thing to hear Lu Mingfei say it, but he really heard someone

Calling him President is another matter, and she is such a beautiful girl with such a temperament that you can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary person.

Chen Motong, behind the others' back, winked and gestured at him, as if she had something inconvenient to say here and wanted to say it to him.

The cousin weakly called "cousin" and then retreated. This short and cold-looking beautiful girl suddenly appeared again, once again refreshing his cousin's status in his heart. He who had just eavesdropped seemed to have heard

Here he is, his idol, the eternal No. 1 in Shilan Middle School: Chu Zihang seems to be in his cousin's club. But he has long known that his idol has a good relationship with his cousin, and he is used to it. This makes him return to
