Act 37: Watts Dragon Slaying Lecture, and Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire
"I won't help you look at it," Watt said.
"Damn, you scared me!" The night watchman looked at the door. Watt and Holmes were already standing there without knowing it.
Ange turned a blind eye and boiled the water again, preparing to give the two uninvited guests a taste of this top-quality Pu'er tea.
"Tokyo is such an important historical node." Holmes smiled, "It would be such a waste if we didn't visit it."
"Is it the awakening of the 'god'?" Angers stared at the steaming teapot, "Which king does the so-called 'god' refer to?"
"The White King." Holmes answered directly.
"The legendary White King..." The night watchman took a breath, "Is Mr. Holmes confident of fighting against the awakened White King?"
"Why do you think so? I'm just an observer. I don't have any combat capabilities, but I can provide intelligence support so that you won't be blinded in Japan."
"I think Mr. Angers knows better than me how difficult it is to kill a king."
Holmes looked at Angers.
Ange was silent for a moment, "The spiritual power of the Dragon King is so strong that it is strong enough to form a barrier on the body surface. We call it the King's Domain. Normal speech spirits cannot harm them at all."
"Damn it, didn't we kill two kings? Why are we still at a loss at this time?" the night watchman said.
"Bronze and fire? A mentally retarded child who has just woken up and has less than 1% of his strength. The other's death method is also quite strange. It looks like suicide." Angers said slowly, "Earth and mountains? There are even more doubts.
.To be honest, I am not sure whether they are dead or not. Lu Mingfei was the only one present at the time, so whatever he said was what he said."
"The Nibelungen in bj has collapsed, and we can't verify it... So dear Mr. Nicholas Flamel, tell me again, have we ever faced off against the Dragon King? Oh, I did once, but it's a pity.
I am the only one left to die."
The night watchman was speechless.
"This is indeed the case." Holmes said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Flamel, I don't want to offend you, but there has never been a complete dragon king in these thousands of years, and they are all in human form.
The form appears.”
"How big is the difference between the human form and the dragon body?" Angers asked.
"The humanoid dragon king and the dragon king that has hatched a complete dragon body can be said to be two completely different creatures. With the current level of human science and technology, except for conventional force other than nuclear weapons, it is impossible to kill any dragon king that has restored its complete dragon body.
Or to describe it more cruelly, it can't even cause harm to the Dragon King."
"What about nuclear weapons?" Angers frowned.
"Mr. Angers...you are asking a very poor question." Watt sighed, "First of all, you have to let the nuclear bomb hit, and secondly, you have to let the Dragon King accept the bombardment of the nuclear weapon in an undefended posture.
.”
"The first point is almost impossible. The Dragon King flaps his wings gently and can fly an extremely long distance instantly. Nuclear weapons cannot be located at all."
"Not to mention the second point. As we all know, the power of speech spirits can subvert the rules of nature. Let me give you an example. The guardian speech spirits of Wuchen Land can keep everything out of the realm. So naturally, the power of nuclear weapons
Shock waves and thermal radiation are also exempt."
"Then how to kill a complete Dragon King?" Angers asked, "Can we only take advantage of its weak period?"
"You already have conditions in hand."
"Mr. Watt is referring to the alchemical weapon Bronze Inferno·Seven Deadly Sins?"
"No, no, even though it was specially created by Norton to kill brothers and sisters, it is limited to the four monarchs, and it has no effect on the White King, who is above the four monarchs." Watt shook his finger,
"I'll save this for last. Let's first discuss how to deprive the Dragon King of his speech spirit."
"Let me give you a prerequisite first. At the level of Dragon King, alchemy weapons and pure power, speed and priority are hundreds of times higher than those of Yanling."
"Because kings and kings can cancel each other's speech spirits, there is a saying that has been circulated for a long time, the blood of all kings will end with the sword. I believe both gentlemen have heard it more or less, but that is a reference to the other person.
For a king, humans have no means of defense, and the Dragon King's voice will definitely be a devastating blow to you..."
Watt said, "So, the first secret to slaying the dragon is to use your brain on how to deprive them of their speech spirit."
Ange thought for a moment and raised his head, "The Dragon Clan's Word Spirit is indeed at the rule level, but this kind of power is attached to the elements. In areas where elements are scarce, even the Dragon King cannot activate the Word Spirit... We can create an exclusive one for the Dragon King.
The cemetery, such as some kind of extreme environment, can be realized through things like the alchemy field, forcing the Dragon King to fight us hand-to-hand."
"As expected of Mr. Ange!" Watt clapped softly, "Also, haven't you humans mastered a secret weapon? The Philosopher's Stone is highly poisonous to the Dragon King, but it must be penetrated into the body and shot.
Only the core of the brain or spinal cord can be effective."
"And this brings us back to the issue of the dragon body. In fact, when facing a complete dragon monarch, your priority is how to break his defense."
"Alchemy weapons that are handy..." Ange muttered silently, "We need alchemical weapons that are handy."
"Indeed, this idea is very good. Let us continue to talk about the previously unresolved problem, alchemical weapons... Mr. Angers, it seems that you already have an alchemical weapon."
Anger looked at Watt fiercely, "What does this sentence mean?"
"The alchemy weapon that has been with you the longest, the folding knife that never leaves your body." Watt said eloquently. "It comes from your best friend Meineke Cassel. It was originally a horse passed down from the ancestors of the Cassel family.
Canter knife, you knock off the blade head to make this folding knife."
"And you have spent decades hunting countless third-generation and second-generation species, and plated the sword with the philosopher's stone extracted from their bodies... Isn't this the best alchemical weapon?
"
"But it's too short... My word spirit can only freeze the Dragon King for a few seconds. In these short seconds, I can't reach the distance where I can attack with this sword."
"The idea is wrong. Why are alchemical weapons called alchemical weapons? Isn't it because it has a more ferocious form than conventional weapons? For example, the complete form of Bronze Purgatory·Seven Deadly Sins is a masterpiece that even I have to admire. You
Of course, this folding knife also has a complete form." Watt said, suddenly leaning towards Angers, and asked tentatively, "It's just... your bloodline is not that high, right?"
"In other words, your pocketknife doesn't recognize you."
Angers remained silent.
The night watchman looked at the old guy in astonishment.
The top leaders of the Secret Party all know that this generation of Master Flamel is a reckless guy, a bastard who breaks common sense, and a shameless master. The reason why no one can do anything to him is because of his status and seniority.
No one knows how long this guy has lived, but he may have lived longer than Angers. Naturally, he is also well-read, and I can tell everyone without bragging that he has read 99.9% of the alchemy books in the world.
There is no hybrid who knows alchemy better than him.
But even with countless knowledge, the night watchman always has a question in his heart: Why does violent blood have almost zero side effects on Angers? This old guy has used violent blood countless times, but there is no sign of being transformed into Deadpool.
…
"I believe you have your secrets. Everyone has secrets. If you put the secret on the table, it is no longer a secret." Watt smiled, "Let us continue the dragon slaying course."
The night watchman came back to his senses and quickly asked on Angers' behalf, "The combination of alchemical weapons, philosopher's stones, and areas where elements are scarce is enough to kill a complete dragon king. Does this include White?"
Where are the king and the black king?”
Watt drank the hot tea that had just come out of the pot, "For humans, what is the most terrifying thing about dragons? Let me start with my humble opinion. It's not the spirit of speech, nor the strength, nor the body."
"It's wisdom." said the night watchman. "The wisdom of the dragons is superior to that of humans."
"Absolutely correct. For example, how did the Blood Sorrow of mixed-race species come about? They are usually extremely smart and their physical fitness far exceeds that of the same level. It is the loneliness that makes them so talented and difficult to integrate into society that makes them gradually
Produces the sorrow of bleeding.”
"Yes." The night watchman continued, "Almost all the famous figures in history are of mixed race, such as Einstein, Bohr, and Planck among physicists; Gauss, Euler, and LeBron among mathematicians.
Mann; not to mention all-around geniuses like Newton and Leonardo da Vinci.”
He turned to the silent Ange, "Ange, we have to admit that in a sense, those old people in North America, especially Henkel, are right. Mixed races are born to be superior to ordinary people. Dragon blood allows us to
He surpasses ordinary people in every aspect.”
"The Dragon Clan is just too proud."
"Yes, the Dragon Clan is just too proud, and this pride eventually dragged them into the abyss of almost extinction." Holmes said softly, "Don't think that the four monarchs are the end. This kind of Nidhogg wants to balance
The existence created by authority cannot be compared with the real throne."
"I don't know if you have noticed that among the twins of the four great monarchs, the one who holds the power usually has a natural defect in intelligence or spirituality, and the one who holds the power is usually prone to worry too much and sway.
It’s uncertain, and its strength isn’t very strong.”
"But the real dragons are perfect, both in strength and wisdom, such as the Black King and the White King."
"So in addition to considering alchemical weapons, philosopher's stones, and areas with precious and scarce elements, you also have to consider the factor of intelligence."
…
…
Su Enxi was soaking in the blue hot spring water, with wooden pallets floating on the water.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Kimura Hiroshi had already placed a pool of water for Su Enxi to take a bath. Breakfast was served while taking a bath. It was a traditional Japanese breakfast of porridge, pickled radish and a piece of grilled cod.
She was chewing potato chips, reading romance novels, and felt that her life was like a fairy.
The bell rang suddenly, and Hiroshi Kimura's voice came through the mist: "Miss Enxi, we have a visitor."
The sound of high-heeled shoes came from far away, and the black shadow in the mist stepped on the slender heels, and the body was like a slender new bamboo swaying in the wind.
Mai Shutoku took off her golden gauze skirt and gauze scarf, and stepped into the hot spring wearing a black tights and sunglasses. Her ankle-length black hair slowly spread out in the water.
"Is it a new French fashion to wear a wetsuit to soak in a hot spring?" Su Enxi was reading with her head down, pushing the floating tray towards the other party, "Kubota sake, congratulations on your triumphant return from the bottom of the sea."
"I wish you a triumphant return from the bottom of the sea." Another lazy male voice also said.
Mai Shutoku and Su Enxi suddenly turned their heads. There was no one behind them. There was only a wooden tray floating on the water's edge. On the tray were two kimonos, two pairs of geta and matching accessories, as well as a handwritten note, "
I didn’t see anything. I’ll wait for you in the house. Come to me after you’ve cleaned up.”
A small charcoal pot was lit next to the hot spring pool. Bath towels and white socks were baking next to the charcoal pot.
Shaking out the kimono sent by the boss, it is an authentic "furisode". This is the clothes that girls wear before getting married. The tailor tailors it to the customer's figure, stitch by stitch.
Su Enxi's piece is "Yaezakura" with a white background, and Shutoku Mai's piece is "Maple Moon" with a black background.
They combed each other's hair, inserted gold-leafed mahogany combs into their long hair, and dressed up like those girls from the Edo period. Then they kicked their clogs all the way to the big house along the cherry blossom path.
"Today's sword is Horikawa Kunihiro," the man was inserting the sword into the monarch's waist, "to support His Highness's military might."
Mai Shutoku looked around, and saw that the man's so-called monarch was actually a pale red skeleton with an armored stomach.
The huge wing bones are gathered behind his back like a screen. The texture of the bones is like red copper that has been repeatedly calcined by the fire. Even if only the dead bones are left, he is still so solemn. You can imagine how dominant he was when he was alive.
"How sad, Norton." The man stared at the skeleton with vague sadness, "Look at you now. It turns out that no matter you were a god or an emperor, you are no different from a toy after death."
"But it's time to wake up. We can't win this battle without you."
The boss said softly, then turned around, "The girls are here? You two are still as beautiful as before."
Just when he turned around, his mood brightened up again, with a 30-degree Celsius smile on his face.
"How is Chen Motong's team doing?"
"That's it, hide in the east with Eriki Uesugi xz. The only thing I don't understand is how a girl like Eriki Uesugi can obey Chen Motong's words."
"To a certain extent, they are very similar." The boss shrugged, "There will probably always be some attraction between similar people, just like a substitute and another substitute."
"Continue to keep an eye on the Caesar team, paying special attention to Chu Zihang's situation before Lu Mingfei regained consciousness. There is no need to worry about Chen Motong. I feel relieved that Jörmungandr is here... Oh, by the way, there is one more thing.
"
The boss handed Shutoku Mai a piece of paper and said, "Get these things for me. The great Lord of Bronze and Fire, Norton, will use them."
"clear."
The boss reached out and touched Shutoku Mai's head. Shutoku Mai had almost a supermodel figure and was slightly taller than the boss. In order to accommodate him, Shutoku Mai had to lower her head.
