Chapter 54 Burning Blood
"News about the intruder?" Xi Ziyue had almost forgotten this.
Speaking of which, that was the beginning of everything. Xi Ziyue still remembers the heroic act that night when she killed everyone with just a small ppk.
"With our unremitting treatment, the captain finally became more conscious, but he is still crazy," Elizabeth said.
This sentence of unremitting treatment is open to discussion.
"Door, he said that their entire team of hunters landed on the island to find a door."
"Door?"
Xi Ziyue's heart trembled, and she always felt that she had passed by some important secret that night.
"After knowing the news, I immediately sent my men to Bride Island to search for the door, but I never found a door that was too special. And just last night, because I wanted to chase the fleeing dragon, I
My subordinates have also been transferred from Bride Island, and now I don’t have any power on that island.”
"Do you need me to go over there, find that door and open it?" Xi Ziyue vaguely guessed what he was going to ask for.
"Just find it. It's best not to open it. In the worst case, the door behind it leads to the Nibelungs." Elizabeth said.
"What is that?"
"The Nibelungen, the country of the dead, is a temple-like place that exists in a world in another dimension. It is the territory of the Dragon Clan and may also be the Dragon King."
"There might be a Dragon King on that island?" Xi Ziyue felt very disillusioned.
That island is her alma mater, a place where princesses roam everywhere. It is said that every evil dragon is keen on catching princesses, but so far the princesses there are all intact. This is like the big bad wolf resisting evil thoughts in the sheepfold.
, and I endured it for several years.
"Always prepare for the worst. Just like before setting off on this mission, no one thought that they would encounter a real pure-blood dragon, right?"
What she said makes sense. Since a pure-blood dragon has already appeared, why can't a second one appear?
Now that we have the second one, isn’t the Dragon King not far away?
It's scary just thinking about it.
"If there really is a Dragon King, please give me a nuclear button and I will consider it." Xi Ziyue said.
"How can that be done? If the Dragon King has quick hands and quick eyes, it will be a bad thing if he takes your nuclear button away with a swipe." Elizabeth retorted with reason.
"Do you really have a nuclear button?" Xi Ziyue was surprised. It was just a joke. Did you really pick up the conversation?
"Several of our school's veteran professors came from Oak Grove, participated in the Manhattan Project, and worked on the world's first atomic bomb. Guess how many nuclear bombs I have in my inventory?"
"This... pretend I didn't ask." Xi Ziyue wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.
"Just like there is no wife in the wife cake, there may not necessarily be a Dragon King in the Nibelung realm created by the Dragon King. Even if there is a Dragon King, there is a high probability that it is just a sleeping Dragon King. You can withdraw at any time." Elizabeth looked at Xi Ziyue.
eyes.
"So, is this task destined to fall on my shoulders?" Xi Ziyue asked while holding her chin, feeling a sense of difficulty in escaping.
"You can refuse. Someone will do it after this mission of hunting down pure-blood dragons is over, but when the time comes, you will need your spirit and key to open the door."
Xi Ziyue pondered for a moment: "Lisa, why did you engage in the great career of slaying dragons?"
"Have you been confused lately?"
"I have thought about this question seriously, but I still don't have an answer. Bloodmourne and looking for Lu Mingfei are the reasons why I joined Kassel, but they may not be the reasons why I slay the dragon." Xi Ziyue's eyes met Elizabeth's.
, the sea breeze blew their hair.
Faced with this problem, Elizabeth thought for a long time and changed several thinking actions.
"To be able to leave no regrets on the day I die." Elizabeth replied, with a gentle smile and firmness in her eyes.
"You...answered like this, as if you were covered with little flags of sacrifice..."
"I was born in a family that slays dragons. The family's mission has been on my shoulders since I was a child. Send the dragons back to hell and guard the human world. This is my family motto." Elizabeth stretched her back and spoke slowly
He leaned back in the seat and raised his legs, proud and superior.
"Your goal is... to protect humanity?" Xi Ziyue always felt that this reason was a bit vague.
"It's a pity that I didn't make up my mind to take on this mission until the day my father died. I couldn't let him see my heroic appearance."
The sky began to become cloudy again, heat was surging on the sea level, and the wind blew like a drumbeat of white noise.
"Your father... passed away?" Xi Ziyue asked softly.
"Died in a plane crash, a plane crash that was most likely related to the Dragon Clan."
"So you want to take revenge on the Dragon Clan?"
Elizabeth's lips curled up slightly: "It's not so much about revenge as it is about not wanting something like this to happen. If I choose to back down, many people will die. There are some things that only I can do, so I will do whatever it takes."
Xi Ziyue became thoughtful.
"Has Greer told you the story of Principal Angers?"
"I mentioned that the principal is some kind of vengeful man. Everything about him was destroyed in the night of summer mourning." Xi Ziyue said.
"After my father died, Angers became my godfather, a true avenger. In his words, he could not allow the Dragon Clan to destroy everything. If Kassel was destroyed, then he would have failed his friends in the Lionheart Society.
If Cambridge University is destroyed, then he will lose his place of memory."
"What does this have to do with Cambridge?" Xi Ziyue heard something strange again.
"Ange used to study in Cambridge. In Cambridge in 1895, he would go there to search for memories of the past. The tombstone of the girl he had a crush on was also in a nearby cemetery. He would occasionally visit the grave and lay flowers."
Hearing this, Xi Ziyue smiled slightly.
"The resurgence of the dragons will be the end of mankind. Professors in Kassel speculate on that day through archeology of documents, while students predict that day on the Night Watch forum with fanciful novels. You know there is a novella called
"Record of Despair"?"
"I don't know." Xi Ziyue shook her head. The "Japanese Dragon Slayer" left a shadow on her, and from then on she couldn't bear to look directly at the entire novel section.
"I don't know what's best. This novel was completed by several authors. They used ten short stories to describe the end of the world after the Black King awakens. The theme is despair and regret. The protagonists in the short stories are all regretting why they couldn't
Go all out and do what you think is right. The overall tone is very sad and I am afraid of that day coming."
"Fortunately I didn't look."
"Don't worry, you won't be able to see it anymore, because the writing is too anti-human. The author wrote that he was depressed, so he deleted the post and ran away."
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of reason for eunuchs..."
"Although it is an unfinished novel, it is unexpectedly thought-provoking because its readers are not ordinary people, but hybrids who hang out in the Night Watch forum. They are destined to become participants in the game, not bystanders.
...When you still have chips in your hand, try your best, fight to the death, and leave no regrets. This is what everyone will feel after reading it."
"I can't lie down calmly in the grave, I can only die roaring... Principal Angers once said this, I am moving in this direction." Elizabeth smiled knowingly and said it in a gentle tone.
These steely lines.
After a long look and silence, Xi Ziyue nodded: "Okay, I'll go to Bride Island and find the door."
"Are you just convinced? I have prepared more lines." Elizabeth shrugged.
"You are so righteous for humanity, and you threaten me with the consequences of failure, so how can I not agree?" Xi Ziyue sighed while sipping black tea.
"The most important thing is that I have more or less strength now." Xi Ziyue put the tea cup on the porcelain plate and looked at the open and closed palms of her hands.
Duanshui drew his sword straight up, Tianlang made a knowing snipe, and then went forward to count the Wrath of the Holy Judgment, the Goddess of Luck, etc.
These have become experiences that have tempered her. Although the words and skills will disappear after the profiling is over, the memory will remain and the body will form habits.
She had a feeling that those spirit spirits did not really disappear, but more or less remained in her body.
For example, after her luck ended on the first night, her luck at playing mahjong was extremely good the next day, and her luck blossomed immediately.
She was able to get a B in the shooting test, maybe it was because of the residual effect of the Holy Judgment.
As for cutting off water, maybe it will come into play next.
She is not unarmed, but is covered in blades.
"Since you accepted the mission, this is for you."
Elizabeth opened a black box, and inside was an exquisite crossbow with a crossbow arrow attached.
The arrowhead of the crossbow is not a triangular pyramid, but a prism.
Crystal glass-like prisms, like artificial quartz crystals.
Elizabeth pointed the crossbow arrow at the sun. A dark red blood streak stretched in the transparent quartz body, and a crystal-like shimmer flowed on the surface.
"Philosopher's Stone?" Xi Ziyue asked.
It is said that the Philosopher's Stone is such a red substance, and Lu Mingfei used a Philosopher's Stone bullet to hit Constantine's eye, destroying his entire authority.
"This is not the Philosopher's Stone, but a fire element crystal extracted from the Dragon King's bones, codenamed Burning Blood." Elizabeth said.
"The bones of the Dragon King...refer to Constantine?"
"That's it. Its bones are stored in the deepest part of the ice cellar of the college. It is the number one treasure of the school in Kassel. Our school board has been chasing and chasing it in Angers, but we have not been able to get it, but at least it is signed.
With the confidentiality agreement, the college can keep Constantine’s skeleton for research, but the research results must be shared with the major families that make up the school board.”
"This... you just said that the principal is your godfather, and then you chased him in the name of the school director?" Xi Ziyue keenly grasped the clue.
"Oh? I'm sorry, the principal is indeed my godfather, but I didn't say that I was an obedient and good daughter. Is there any girl in the world who doesn't care about her father's little treasury?" Elizabeth's eyes became sly and her eyebrows raised.
One challenge, "Besides, it was Frost from the Gattuso family who took the lead in the pursuit. I was only forced to sign the agreement after seeing that the situation was over... Note, it was forced."
Xi Ziyue was speechless in reply.
Elizabeth picked up this art-like crossbow again, stared at the burning blood and said: "Some people say that the day the Black King was killed was the beginning of the mixed-race war. The biggest threat finally disappeared, and the mixed-race family fought for the world.
I don’t know if that day will come, but it will definitely be better than the Black King’s resurrection.”
She seemed to be talking to herself in front of a mirror, with the past and future reflected in the mirror.
She locked the weapon back into the black box and handed it to Xi Ziyue: "Use it carefully. The principle of burning blood is very complicated, involving theology and even philosophy. Its effect is the ultimate burning, and the radius of the area is three
Ten meters, effective against Dragon King level targets."
"In the end, it ended up going back to the Dragon King?" Xi Ziyue said bitterly.
"It's just a metaphor, one of Cassel's rhetorics. You just need to know that it is infinitely powerful. In addition to the burning blood, I will also provide you with some other equipment and instructions about the door." Elizabeth continued from the table.
I dug out boxes from underneath, one after another.
Xi Ziyue looked a little absent-minded, and her eyebrows were furrowed seriously.
"Do you have any more questions? For example, will I pass on the position of the head of the family to you out of favor? Make you the leader?" Elizabeth asked with a smile. Apparently Greer also mentioned the topic of the leader to her.
"No, I was wondering if it was possible that the Black King had been resurrected." Xi Ziyue's thoughts were indeed worthy of seriousness.
"Have you noticed anything wrong?" Elizabeth immediately lowered her expression and tensed her nerves.
"No, it's just conjecture." Xi Ziyue shook his head, "I remember I told you that I profiled my fiancé remotely, and the result was dark, right?"
"For this reason, you think your fiancé is the Black King?" Elizabeth was happy.
"It's just a wild guess. I didn't say it, but if I have to say it, the Black Rose Order also has the word black. Everyone seems to be inclined to use this mysterious and evil color." Xi Ziyue gave up the guess.
The reason for this suspicion is still related to Lu Mingze.
That devilish and mysterious boy, what is it?
Maybe I should take out a copy of "Norse Mythology" and read out the names in it one by one, so that I can always find a corresponding god?
Anyway, this world view is so small, maybe I am really confused after all.
"You have to think about it this way. There is a saying in the fashion circle that black and white are colors that will never go out of style. When you don't know how to match your clothes, there is nothing wrong with wearing white or black. That little girl named Ling is not
She also always wears white skirts? But she didn't have a relationship with King Bai, right? And the Japanese mixed-race people who really had a relationship with King Bai were not seen wearing white. On the contrary, they were all underworld windbreakers." Elizabeth said clearly and clearly.
analyze.
"Besides, if a great being like the Black King is really resurrected, the disaster he will cause will definitely be apocalyptic. Even if he wants to take over your body, he will never send you to the Bride Island to practice. Instead, he will find you directly.
Zhang Bed will take care of you."
"This...makes sense." Xi Ziyue continued speechless.
The breakfast time ended quickly. After receiving the equipment, Xi Ziyue quickly took action and headed towards his alma mater. Elizabeth took a helicopter to travel far away and continued back to the east side of the Danube River to supervise the mining of the ruins. Today is expected to be the last day.
Chapter completed!
