"I haven't mentioned my name to you before. As far as you can see, I also have a name. At least here, my name is 'Yelena'."
“Where’s your full name?”
“Romanov Elena Alexina Nikolayevna.”
“My mother’s name is Anastasia Nikolayevna and I am the last princess of the Russian Tsar!”
That happened the day before yesterday, but for Lin Nian, when he fell asleep every night, it felt like it had just happened.
After falling asleep in dormitory 303, the blond girl's voice still echoed in his ears like a nightmare, and the details of the dream during the 3E exam came to his eyes again, replaying like a movie.
In the dream, Lin Nian was standing in the corridor with dark red lights. In front of the iron door in the distance stood a blond girl who announced her real name. The two looked at each other through the shadows and red light, with some expressions on each other's faces.
It was an indescribable black color, and the depths of his eyes were full of unfamiliarity.
Anastasia Nikolayevna.
If Lin Nian remembers correctly, this is a very legendary figure and the youngest daughter of Nicholas II, the last tsar of the Russian Empire, and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna.
"You said you were from the Tsarist Russia era?" Lin Nian frowned and said, "The last Tsar was deposed in 1917, and the entire Tsar's family, including the queen, prince, and princess, were executed. Do you mean you came from that time?"
Anyone who survived the Great Purge?"
The blond girl nodded and did not deny Lin Nian's conjecture, "The Great Purge is such a familiar word. I still remember that it was the first winter of 1917. The Tsar's family tasted the coldness of Russia for the first time. The emperor symbolized honor and power.
The imperial epaulettes were no longer allowed to be worn by the tsar, and the tsarist era began to enter its final chapter of destruction."
In 1917, during the February Revolution, the “bloody tsar” was swallowed up by the anger of the people, and the class struggle and the roulette wheel of the world began to spin.
"It was the day in the dead of winter, before spring arrived, when the great Romanov dynasty came to an end." The blonde girl narrated softly, "The gates of the castle of feudalism were smashed open by the excited people, and the dresses that had been so beautiful in the past were hung up.
Lighted on bamboo poles, the exquisite porcelain fell from the heights of the castle and shattered into beautiful white flowers. The people wielded hammers and shovels and drove the Tsar's family out of their castle, spitting their own anger on them. If there was no restraint
Under the protection of the Lensky Provisional Government, their flesh will be eaten alive by the angry people, the king will be tortured to death, and the princesses will be reduced to tools for venting."
The blonde girl said that she pushed back gently with her hands on the iron door. The door responded and opened the dazzling white light. She turned and walked into the magnificent room behind, retaining the door of the forestry.
Lin Nian just paused for a moment before walking through the corridor and following the blond girl into the iron door. Behind the door, the villa decoration that should not have appeared in Black Swan Harbor appeared in front of him.
Behind the black iron door is not a dark freezer, but a luxurious official residence. Under the white gauze curtains, heavy snow is flying outside the window with the window grilles, but the interior of the official residence is as warm as spring. The charcoal fire and wood are quietly in the fireplace.
Burning quietly, there are handmade pillows on the huge sofa, warm coffee and a variety of delicacies on the table. The Tsarist Empire-style decoration in the official residence exudes an atmosphere of luxury and power.
"In the first half year of the fall of the dynasty, we were protected by the provisional government and were not torn apart by angry civilians. At that time, we were still the royal family in the empire, enjoying the service of servants, and our lives were no different from those in the Tsarist Russia era.
." The blond girl stood in the center of the house and looked at everything warm.
"The provisional government needs our authority. Even though Tsarist Russia has fallen, its former rulers still have residual power, so they think we are the key to the next era, and the key naturally needs to be hidden in a safe place and carefully maintained.
It is a pity that this comfortable life only lasted until the end of 1917."
“The late October Revolution of 1917?”
Lin Nian is a good student of history and can always accurately point out major events that happened that year based on the year. The October Revolution was obviously the most significant event in human history in 1917. The provisional government was overthrown and the Soviet regime was officially established.
, laying the initial foundation stone for the future huge red regime.
"Who could have known that a country would carry out two class revolutions in the same year, and that both revolutions would be successful? In just one year, the world would go from the feudal era to the bourgeois era, and finally to the proletariat as the master of the country.
." The blond girl waved her hand, and the luxurious mansion disappeared, replaced by a monotonously decorated and empty villa. There was no fireplace and only the cold floor reflected the extinguished and dusty crystal chandelier.
"In just one year, the Tsar's family went from being remnants of the previous dynasty to remnants of an even earlier feudal state. Even Puyi was not as miserable as them. Their loyal slaves were secretly executed, and their living environment was moved from a comfortable official residence to Ipache.
The husband's villa is said to be a villa, but it is actually a tomb, with half-dead people buried inside." The blonde girl said, "At that time, the biggest wish of the Tsar's family every day was a cup of coffee and buttered bread, but even this wish was still
It was rejected because it was too extravagant."
“You probably weren’t born yet at that time,” Lin Nian said.
“But what I am describing now is what my mother experienced.”
At the end of July 1918, the Bolsheviks announced that the Tsar's family had been secretly shot.
There is no public trial, no process, only bloody results.
"They are afraid that the Tsar's family will become the hope of royalist restoration. As long as the Tsar's family remains alive and is supported by other European royal families as a government-in-exile, they will have the opportunity to threaten the newly established red regime." The blonde girl said lightly, "
The execution took place at the Ipachev Villa. That day, the Tsar's family and children were taken to the basement by the soldiers. The leader brought three chairs for the Tsar and his wife to sit down. Nicholas II held the newborn prince in his arms.
, put him in the middle of the chair, and told them: In view of your royal relatives' constant interference and attacks on the Soviet revolution, it has been decided to execute you."
"Then a gunshot rang out, and the pistol passed through the throat at close range, sending the Tsar himself to a pool of blood. Behind him, the soldiers fired at all the servants and attendants, and the infant Crown Prince was still in the head.
Two shots were fired, and the queen wanted to pray but lost her hands in the first round of shooting and fell on the body of her husband."
“In half an hour, eleven corpses and a river of blood.” said the blond girl.
There were real gunshots in the basement of the villa, as violent as firecrackers. Lin Nian lowered his head and looked at the floor. Although he knew that all this was constructed by the blond girl using her memory, he still couldn't help but go
Imagine that human tragedy.
When the gunfire stopped, Lin Nian slowly raised his head and said, "But they still missed one person."
"Anastasia, my mother. Her name means "breaker of shackles" or "opener of prisons," but I prefer her other meaning." The blond girl looked at Lin Nian and said, "
resurrection."
"Lucky Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the Tsar, survived a secret execution and was exiled in the country under the red regime. This was the most famous rumor at the time." Lin Nian said lightly. "You
Said she was your mother? How could she survive the intensive shooting in the basement and escape to give birth to you?"
"Jewelry made of real gold and diamonds is the last treasure of the Tsar's royal family. Nicholas II expected to exchange his daughter and wife's personal jewelry for a huge sum of money in exchange for a luxurious life in the future, but unfortunately, these jewelry did not bring them coffee and butter.
Bread, but it actually saved the life of a princess." The blonde girl said, "Anastasia was discovered by the owner of the villa. They came to clean up the corpse and found the youngest princess in the corpse pile.
Staring at them, she still had a breath left. Even though she was shot through the abdomen by three bullets and stabbed through the chest with a bayonet, she was still alive and tenaciously alive."
“She is a mixed race?” Such a powerful vitality can only be explained by the magical bloodline.
"Maybe from the moment I can remember after I was born, my mother asked me to run away. We hid in the barn and endured the wind and snow in the Soviet Union, listening to the heavy footsteps outside. People all over the world were looking for me.
I am the last spark of the Tsarist era, the last princess and emperor."
Hearing the word "emperor", Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually darkened. He gently placed his right hand on the handle of Ju Yimonji Zong's knife behind his back, and gently pried the blade with his fingers.
The atmosphere in the corridor began to feel like a stone thrown into an abyss, going lower and lower in the arc, until the glimmer of light cast by the golden eyes was as thick as a quagmire, making it difficult to breathe.
"Don't get me wrong." The blonde girl smiled lightly, "I'm not saying that I am the 'Emperor'. What I call the Emperor is just the only person qualified to inherit the position of Tsar and restore the empire. He is not as good as the one outside.
exist."
“Do you know the details of the ‘Emperor’?” Lin Nian said expressionlessly.
"Of course I know." The blonde girl said, "Maybe I am the person who knows her best in the world."
“I actually always thought that the ‘emperor’ was you.” Lin Nian said lightly.
"Is it because of Kikuichi Monmonori Sect? This sword?" The blond girl looked at the tilted scabbard behind Lin Nian, "Don't worry, I did give you this sword, but not the leech. That leech has a very good intention.
It's sinister. Fortunately, you didn't accept it, but it can be regarded as a kind of declaration. The 'Emperor' is not worried about whether you accept this thing or not. He just wants to announce his existence to you through this."
“Tell me information about her.”
"I can not."
"Why?"
“If I say it, she will hear it.” The blond girl looked directly at Lin Nian.
“She’s right next to me.” Lin Nian asked.
"Yes."
“You were warning me in this dream.” He asked again.
ˆ “”
“The ‘Emperor’ is aware of your existence.”
"yes."
“Your relationship with the ‘Emperor’ is antagonistic.”
"yes."
“You’re on my side.”
“Yes and no.”
“The ‘Emperor’ has done something to me.”
"yes."
“Can you help me clean up these hands and feet?”
"yes."
“Can you give me strength as usual?” Lin Nian said, “Then there are three chains left.”
"The unblocking of 'Fu Sheng' is actually a bit too fast, but I have to do it because the 'Emperor' has begun to surface, and you must have the ability to protect yourself." The blonde girl said.
“Can’t I protect myself with my current strength?”
"In front of ordinary hybrids, yes, you are no different from the Dragon King to them. But in front of the 'Emperor', you are still too weak. Your chance of winning against the 'Emperor' is zero, not one."
It's not zero point one, it's zero, completely zero." The blonde girl's voice was as hard as stone, with a chill in it.
"Well, cut off the other three chains and give me the power to defeat him." Lin Nian said, "You have a hostile relationship with the 'Emperor', so I can understand that you are hiding in my mind and treating me as a human being.
If you find a safe haven, you will be in danger if I am controlled by others, so just give me strength! I promise you will find Him and deal with Him completely."
"The last three chains are not so easy to cut off. The two word spirits, Fusheng and Setsuna, are considered the 'original' power for you, but the remaining three word spirits need to be able to truly exert their power.
Some medium."
“Media?”
“The four kings.” The blonde girl said slowly, “Go find the four kings and kill them.”
Bronze and fire, sky and wind, ocean and water, earth and mountains, four unshakable and terrifying monarchs on the throne.
"That's the Dragon King! It's not a second-generation species, not a third-generation species." Lin Nian frowned, "Who knows where those beings are hiding and sleeping in the world, I can't even find a place to kill them even if I want to kill them!"
"The King of Earth and Mountains and the King of Bronze and Fire have already walked in the world. The King of Sky and Wind and the King of Ocean and Water are still unknown." The blonde girl said calmly, "If there is no accident, he will be the first to wake up.
The two monarchs will be earth and mountains and bronze and fire."
After hearing this earth-shattering news, Lin Nian's pupils tightened like needles, and he looked at the blonde girl more deeply, "Go on."
"The resurrection of the Dragon King is in someone's plan. If there are no accidents, within three years, a Dragon King will be resurrected, and your goal is exactly that king. Kill him, and then take his dragon blood crystal with you.
Give it to me." The blonde girl said, "When the time comes, I will give you the corresponding power and cut off one of your chains."
“Can you do this?”
“I can.” said the blond girl, “or rather, you can.”
“It seems that the ‘Emperor’ has really pushed you into a hurry. You should have a story.” Lin Nian said.
"We all have a story with the 'Emperor', but you have forgotten it." The blond girl said softly, "Sometimes it's not that I don't want to tell it but that I really can't tell it, Lin Nian."
“Then don’t say it.” Lin Nian nodded.
"Starting from today, the second bloodshed will be unblocked for you." The blonde girl also nodded, "You should have noticed that after the high frequency of bloodshed, your bloodline has exceeded the critical blood limit too much. But don't worry,
Your usual feeling is right. You are special. Even if you exceed the critical blood limit, you can still control it perfectly. Remember to hide yourself. You are like the god-killing human in Greek mythology, the god sitting on Mount Olympus.
Everyone will be in awe of your existence and will try their best to get rid of you."
"You said you are a descendant of the Tsar, so why are you related to the 'Emperor'? The 'Emperor' is also a person from the Tsar's era?" Lin Nian did not care about his bloodline. Instead, he traced back what he really cared about.
matter.
“I can tell you this, it has not crossed the red line.” The blond girl said, “The ‘Emperor’ claims to have existed even longer than the Black King, and is a remnant of that lost era.”
The Forgotten Era?
“”Lin Nian was silent, “What do you think is the credibility?”
“I don’t know,” said the blond girl, “but in a sense He is above the four kings.”
“This is really not good news.”
“So you need to become stronger.” The blonde girl sighed, “You are still too weak now.”
“Can the Dragon King’s recovery time be more certain?”
"You can't, but if you really want to start working on this, I suggest you pay attention to one person." The blonde girl said, "He is the key to the recovery of the Dragon King, and he may also be a good helper for you in the future."
"who?"
The blond girl looked at Lin Nian and read out a name.
Lin Nian was stunned and subconsciously repeated the name:
“Lu Mingfei?”
"I'm not kidding, he is very special, but few people can discover this. He will play an important role in the future." said the blond girl.
"You said he is also a mixed race?" Lin Nian's originally frighteningly serious expression suddenly became a little strange, as if everyone was talking about the destruction of the world, and suddenly a funny character appeared, and this funny character had to act as
The key person who saves the world.
"He is not a mixed race. His origin is very complicated, just as complicated as you." The blond girl shrugged.
“Then what am I?”
"You?" The blonde girl smiled, "You are a monster. If I really have to use one word to describe you, I think words like 'S' level, super hybrid are not very good at describing you. I prefer another word.
, that’s what ‘Emperor’ called you when he first met you.”
"He calls you." The blonde girl paused, looked at Lin Nian and said four words, "Mixed-blood monarch!"
