Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely at the moment because he followed the man in front of him and walked straight to the river. He passed more than three layers of defense lines and became more and more frightened as he walked.
Outside the cordon, he could only see the red cordon and armored vehicles. The further inside, the tighter the security became.
If the cordon outside is only used to disperse ordinary people, then the layers of defense inside are probably reserved for those unscrupulous intruders.
It is hard to imagine that this group of people could surround the Three Gorges Reservoir with solid alloy plates in a short period of time. At this moment, it has become a military fortress. Except for the road that Lu Mingfei is taking at the moment, all
The roads are blocked. If you want to get close to the river, this is the only entrance. Of course, don't think about taking the waterway. Navy ships are guarding the entire river upstream and downstream, cutting off the communication between this area and the outside world.
Lu Mingfei followed cautiously and walked inside. He found that he seemed to have entered some strange place. From time to time there was the sound of helicopters passing by in the sky, and the ground was also covered with iron plates. This probably meant that there was no way to enter the sky.
There is no door. Moreover, this road is monitored by cameras every two meters, and there are small black holes on the wall. If he guessed correctly...it should be the muzzle of the gun! And there are no blind spots at all. If you dare
If you try to break in, you'll probably end up dead.
Is this a national-level defense force? This was the first time Lu Mingfei had seen the power of his motherland's military power. At this moment, there was nothing left in his heart except shock and awe.
But when he reached the end of the road, the painting style changed suddenly, which almost made him unable to react.
There was a lonely boat and a lonely shadow by the river. If the man wasn't wearing ancient costume, he would have wanted to ask if this was a martial arts drama.
Lu Mingfei looked a little weird when he saw the scene in front of him. Filming a martial arts drama shouldn't involve so much effort, right? And isn't there a dragon king in the river now? The purpose of Kassel College coming to China was to slay the dragon, but it was kicked out
He went back. But after he had just experienced the 'baptism', he felt that it was normal to send him back. This was for the sake of those classmates, so as not to know how they died after coming here.
"Hey~ Lu Mingfei, you're here."
The people sitting on the canoe greeted him.
Lu Mingfei looked at the man and didn't turn around. He was just sitting on the canoe holding a fishing rod, as if he was fishing, but the sound was very familiar to him.
"Senior brother... what are you doing?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.
Regarding the Xuanhao in front of him, he no longer dared to be as casual as before. Looking back carefully, it seemed that the other party had made a big deal when he first came to pick him up, and directly bought the entire square in the city center.
It was no longer just a matter of financial resources. Only now did he realize that the senior brother who usually lived in the same dormitory with him was such a terrifying boss.
"I'm fishing." Xuan Hao said matter-of-factly, "Don't be so careful, just be as usual."
What you said is so simple! Lu Mingfei complained silently in his heart.
"Um, senior brother...why did you call me here?"
"Alas...it looks like we can't catch any fish." Xuan Hao sighed, put away the fishing rod, pointed to his side, "Get on the boat first."
"oh."
Lu Mingfei got on the boat obediently. He thought to himself that only those who catch fish nowadays are ghosts! Isn't there a Dragon King hidden in the river?
When he got on the boat, Xuanhao put an oar in his hand.
"???"
Lu Mingfei looked at the paddle in his hand in confusion, "What is this for?"
"Let you row the boat!" Xuan Hao looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "What else can I do with the oar besides letting you row the boat?"
"Row? Where to go?" Lu Mingfei still didn't understand.
"Go to Dragon King Norton's palace and slay the dragon." Xuan Hao said calmly.
"!!!"
Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he almost threw the oar out. No, brother! Why can you say it is so easy to just row a canoe to slay the dragon? He knew that the college had prepared a lot of things for this dragon slaying.
Plant alchemical equipment and torpedoes. The original plan was to mobilize ships after coming here, but everything was canceled after being driven back.
And now Xuan Hao said he was going to slay the dragon, but he only took a broken wooden boat! The key is that it was outrageous to take him with him.
Lu Mingfei was thinking, with so many troops here, it was like a military fortress. Is it difficult to mobilize a ship? And with so many people able to row, why did they have to pull him along!
"Don't you want to go and see your old friend?" Xuan Hao suddenly asked, "Isn't he your only friend in high school?"
"Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had heard Fingel say before that Dragon King Norton seemed to be Old Tang. "Is he really the Dragon King?"
"Yes." Xuan Hao nodded, "He is indeed the Dragon King, there is no doubt about it."
"Why do humans become dragon kings?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"The old Tang you are talking about is named Ronald Tang. He is a Chinese American and was adopted. No one knows who his biological parents are. He dropped out of high school and lives in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
He makes a living by accepting bounties from some secret work, which is commonly known as a bounty hunter. This is probably the information about his identity that we can learn."
Xuan Hao handed a piece of information to Lu Mingfei, "But it's not that 'a human becomes a dragon king' as you said, but he is a dragon king himself! I once told you that a dragon king can be in human form."
"You mean Old Tang is the Dragon King disguised as a human?" Lu Mingfei felt numb, "Then why did he approach me?"
"It's not a disguise. Before he recovered his memory, he thought he was a human being." Xuan Hao shook his head, "He has always been the Dragon King, one of the twins of the Bronze and Fire King. He is the elder brother."
"Brother..." Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank sharply, "Then... was Constantine calling him before?"
He rang the name of the dragon king Constantine who was in the fire that night. It kept calling his brother, but his brother didn't recognize him and was even afraid of him and was running away. This made Lu Mingfei feel an inexplicable sadness.
In this way, everything makes sense. Constantine desperately wants to move forward and just wants to stay by his brother's side. It seems that Lu Mingfei feels like a villain for actually preventing the brothers from reuniting. But
There was nothing we could do. Who asked the brothers to find a secret place to have a look when they reunited? They had to involve him and Nuonuo...
Lu Mingfei felt that there was no need to save Old Tang at that time. He could just run away with Nuonuo. Constantine probably wouldn't catch up. As for Old Tang, if he was roasted twice by the fire, he would probably die from the fire.
Everyone is happy to be born as the Dragon King.
"Yes, they are brothers. According to the records in "Ice Sea Fragments", these brothers have been living in bronze palaces in Northern Europe, but starting from a certain year BC, we can no longer find anything about them.
Records. Now it seems that they crossed the Eurasian continent and went to China. This migration took an unknown number of years. When they arrived in China, Wang Mang usurped the power of the Han Dynasty and China fell into war. The elder brother changed his name to Li Xiong.
With the power of the Dragon Clan, he gained the trust of Gongsun Shu, the warlord who occupied Sichuan, and proclaimed him emperor, and became an important minister of Gongsun Shu."
"Why do they do this?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I don't know, there must be a very important purpose, right? But no one knows. Twelve years later, with the help of some dragon-slaying families, Emperor Liu Xiu defeated the brothers Gongsun Shuhe. Before he died,
At the moment before, they completed the 'cocooning' of their souls. The jar was not actually a bone bottle, but an 'egg' used by the Dragon King to reproduce new bodies. The hatching was done first and later. Compared with the development speed, the younger brother was not as good as the older brother.
First, he left the egg, but failed to recover his memory. His age seemed to be only in his twenties, but in fact it may be much older. Before the Three Gorges Reservoir was built there, he had already left. I don’t know what kind of way he went, and he became homeless.
He came to the United States and was adopted. He lived as a human being in the United States for more than 20 years and was convinced that he was a human being until he was awakened by his younger brother who later awakened."
"That means... I really became friends with a dragon king?" Lu Mingfei's mind was a little confused, "Oh, no, did I become friends with a dragon king who thought he was a human?"
"Yes." Xuan Hao affirmed, "Perhaps it is not a coincidence that you can become friends, but the resonance of being born as aliens and the loneliness in this world, which is what the Secret Party calls 'Blood Sorrow'.
of."
"I don't quite understand this... We are going to kill him now, right?" Lu Mingfei clenched the oar in his hand, "I just want to know now, is he still Old Tang?"
"Yes," Xuan Hao paused, "No."
"Can you explain it more clearly? I don't understand..." Lu Mingfei was helpless.
"He has always been Norton, but in his life, he has an additional period of life as the 'Old Tang' in your mouth. Before the original memory recovered, he was your friend 'Old Tang', but after he
When all the memories in the endless life are revived, this memory will seem insignificant." Xuan Hao sighed.
"You mean, maybe he remembers me?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Maybe, he definitely remembers you." Xuan Hao said firmly, "But, how important do you think you are in his life? Can you let him give up his identity as the King of Bronze and Fire and continue to be with him?
Do you want to be friends? He is now thinking about revenge for his younger brother. Do you know that Constantine is the younger brother who has spent endless years with him. His younger brother is willing to give up turning into a cocoon to look for him for him, and he also
He can give up turning into a cocoon for his brother and take revenge on humans!"
"..." Lu Mingfei was silent. It seemed a bit unrealistic. At most, he and 'Old Tang' had just met gay netizens. "So do we have to fight now?"
"Haha." Xuan Hao smiled, "It all depends on his performance~"
"Uh..." Lu Mingfei couldn't understand.
"Let's go, don't be so serious. We have to wait until we find him first before we talk about anything." Xuan Hao patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "Let's row the boat."
"You sound like you're going to negotiate with the Dragon King?" Lu Mingfei was speechless, "Can I not go?"
He was thinking that dragons and humans seemed to be mortal enemies. After all, after entering Kassel Academy, everyone in the academy wanted to instill this concept in him.
But he is not the kind of person who listens carefully to what others say... He feels that even if he enters a pyramid scheme, he is just eating and drinking and cannot be brainwashed to help cheat money.
Listening to the tone of Xuan Hao's words now, it seems that he is the same as him! He has not been brainwashed by the ideas of the academy at all. It is right to think about it. Why did this big guy go to the academy to slay the dragon? Just for fun! Maybe he can play it
In the end, the academy will belong to him...
Why should we meet before talking about anything? Does that mean we still have to talk about it? I just don’t know if the Dragon King is willing to talk to us calmly. He thought that he would go with us to deliver food, right?
"Of course not, I haven't left just because I'm waiting for you, okay!" Xuan Hao looked at Lu Mingfei kindly.
"Brother, I'm really incompetent. As you know, I won't be able to help you much if I go!" Lu Mingfei struggled, but Xuan Hao grabbed his throat and couldn't run away.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself that it seemed like he wouldn't be able to make much difference. In terms of combat effectiveness, this guy was many times stronger than him!
"Hurry up, or I'll throw you down to feed the fishes." Xuan Hao said angrily, "Letting you go will always serve a purpose. I never do meaningless things."
"well……"
Lu Mingfei felt sorry in his heart, but he had no choice but to start rowing the boat. He just hoped that when he saw the dragon king, the dragon king would not be "ignorant" and send him off as soon as he came up, so as not to cause a fight and affect him. You must know that the situation in front of him is
He was a ruthless man who had killed the Dragon King, and his skeleton was still frozen in the ice cellar. Maybe one day he would think of it, take it out and make soup. God knows what the fight would be like later.
The weather is good today and there are not too many waves on the entire water surface.
"Is the Dragon King really under the reservoir?"
After a long time, Lu Mingfei felt that he seemed to have thought too much. What he should be more worried about now was whether he would die of exhaustion before paddling to his destination.
"Big...brother...how long do I have to paddle to get there?" Lu Mingfei panted.
Although it is called a 'reservoir', it is not comparable to those ordinary 'reservoirs'. The Three Gorges Reservoir has a total area of 1,084 square kilometers, involving 21 counties and cities. The scope is ridiculously large, although it follows the flow of water.
, but Lu Mingfei felt that he was almost exhausted just to keep this small canoe from capsizing.
"Don't be in a hurry. I'll count the time and I'll be there in the evening. Come on."
Xuan Hao lay on the bow of the boat, relaxed and comfortable.
"Ah? It's still at night?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.
"Of course it has to be at night," Xuan Hao replied matter-of-factly, "Slaying a dragon is a secret job, so it's not good to do it so blatantly in broad daylight."
