Ender looked at the expressionless man in front of him. Just now, he told Ender that he wanted Ender to help him blow up the "Dragon Vein".
Ender didn't know what Dragon Vein was, but it was obvious that it should be a very troublesome thing.
"Tell me more about it."
Ender tried to control the man into revealing their plans, but dominating the human was not enough to make the man submit.
The control of magic power was resisted by this man named Chu Hao, and Ender could not break through his will, at least not with this magic.
"so troublesome……"
Ande saw that controlling humans was of no use to Chu Hao, so he simply released his control.
There are many ways to interrogate a person, so there is no need to get stuck on one spell.
"Your secret party should have a method of interrogation, why don't you try it?"
Ender wanted Angers to try it first. He had consumed too much magic today, so maybe he could try a physical method.
"Maybe we don't need to do this. He has no ill intentions towards us."
Ange looked at Chu Hao, who was half-dead by magic, and couldn't bear to take action.
Ender was unimpressed by Angers pity and tried to teach him some elders' experiences.
"I'm telling you, Angers, this kind of guy who just gives you a task without giving anything at the beginning is definitely not a good guy."
"Just watch, he will definitely use some family and country interests to coax us into becoming cannon fodder, and then he will follow behind to reap the benefits."
Angers looked at the emotional Ander and asked in confusion
"how do you know?"
"Because I have done similar things, coaxing those lawful good guys to work for me, and I don't have to pay for the job well done."
Um... Angers understood at this moment the true meaning of the Chinese term "Educate others by oneself."
At this moment, Chu Hao finally recovered from the control of human beings. He looked at the two people in front of him, and a forced smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.
"Mr. Lu, can we have a talk?"
Ange could also understand what Chu Hao said through his proficiency in languages. He looked at Ander and said in not very standard Chinese:
"What is your purpose?"
The man looked at the rope that was strangling his body and Ange who was getting ready to go next to him. He changed back to his expressionless poker face and said calmly:
"Mr. Lu has great skills. I, Chu Hao, am also the second-in-command of the Demon Slayer Hall. Even if I encounter a big demon, I can compete with one or two. However, I was defeated by Mr. Lu's spell. I am convinced."
Listening to this man's eloquent words, Ander felt very angry. He slammed the table and shouted:
"You are a prisoner now, tell me the truth, how do you know my name?"
The man did not hide anything, but said it honestly:
"The real person said it. He asked me to wait for you there. He also said that you are the key to the success of our Dragon Vein Project."
This sentence reveals two pieces of information. One is a real person, who should be a hybrid who serves as a military adviser in the Tiandihui. The other is the Dragon Vein Plan, which should be a plan to blow up the Dragon Vein.
Ender continued to ask:
"Then how did the real person know?"
"The real person's magic, that is, what foreigners call the spirit, can predict the future. He used the ladder to forcibly calculate and the way to break the situation is you, Mr. Lu."
Ender looked at Angers, who recalled the Periodic Table of Spiritual Spirits he had seen before and then replied:
"Yan Ling: A prophet who can see a few words from the future. That 'climbing the divine ladder' should be a secret method similar to violent blood."
Ender hugged his head. He hated two kinds of people the most. One was the Riddler who couldn't understand what he said, and the other was the mastermind who used others as pawns.
"A vague prophecy, a few desperate adventurers, and a seemingly lofty goal, this story is terrible, just like the worst bard made up to cheat royalties."
Angers couldn't help laughing when he heard Ander's complaints. Now the two of them were obviously involved in a bigger whirlpool.
"Where's the real person?"
Ender asked
"The real person used the divine ladder, and his body couldn't bear it and he became a feather."
There was no trace of sadness on Chu Hao's face, as if he was telling an ordinary little thing.
"Eclosion means death."
Ender explained to Angers.
"I know……"
Angers' mood was a little low, probably because he thought of his dead comrades.
Ender ignored Angers and continued to ask:
"What is the dragon vein, and why should we blow it up?"
Chu Hao Gujing Bubo's face showed a trace of flaw, he seemed to be enduring the sadness and anger in his heart.
"Dragon Vein is a large-scale formation set up by Qing Yao. We, the demon slayers, are used to guide it to ensure that no one can destroy Qing Yao."
It seems that the Dragon Vein is some kind of alchemical formation, but it is unheard of that a formation can guarantee the longevity of a feudal dynasty.
"How does this dragon vein work? Can it make the Qing court invincible?"
"I don't know either, but the older generation said that as long as there is a dragon vein, the emperor of Qing Yao is a dragon, and no one can kill him."
It sounds like dragon veins can give the emperor dragon power. If so, what happened to so many uprisings in the Qing Dynasty?
"There have been many rebellions in the past two hundred years, so this dragon vein is of no use?"
Chu Hao shook his head and explained
"What you don't know is that this dragon vein belongs to the Baoqingyao family and will not be used until life or death is in danger."
Ender was a little puzzled. Isn't this the time when life is in danger?
"The old witch in Sijiu City has been kicked out, and the dragon vein is useless, because although the world is in danger, the emperor is still the emperor. As long as there is no revolution, the dragon vein will not be used."
Ender understood somewhat. The Dragon Vein was like a nuclear bomb. It would be activated once the Qing Emperor was about to be ousted. No wonder the world would destroy the Dragon Vein.
"So Lu Shanyan..."
"Brother Lu has planned this plan a long time ago. He traveled across the ocean, sought funds for the plan, and bought equipment for the brothers, all in order to blow up the dragon's veins."
Co-author Lu Shanyan joined the secret party to make money by selling antiques. It was a simple goal.
"I'm Lu Ande, the second uncle of Lu Shanyan. He went abroad to do business in his early years, so you probably haven't heard of me."
Ander introduced himself and said that he didn't care whether the other party knew Lu Shanyan or not, he wanted to determine the seniority first.
That Chu Hao was also a knowledgeable person and replied: "I have met my second uncle."
Ender was satisfied and continued:
"Did you know that Lu Shanyan died in the hands of a dragon king?"
Chu Hao trembled, clenched his fists, relaxed again, and said:
"Brother Lu died by slaying the dragon. He is a role model for us."
Ender shook his head:
"No, no, no, he was killed."
"By whom?!"
"Do you know Friedrich?"
The man slumped in the chair as if his bones had been ripped out.
"I knew that I shouldn't have let the foreigner go to Tongwan City and look for Dragon Vein."
Ender listened to the man's words and suddenly heard a familiar place.
