Sakurai Akira carefully put the two dachi swords into the handles. After being fully armed, he walked out of the room. Everyone had gathered at the door to wait for him.
"You are the slowest every time." Ryoma blew bubble gum.
"Indeed, Mingjun is the slowest every time, even slower than Makoto." Came the teasing laughter.
Akira Sakurai's eyes were calm as he scanned the crowd. Everyone was fully armed.
"This time, it's no longer a dream." Sakurai Ming said, "I don't need to describe the dangers involved. I hope you all..."
"There's so much nonsense." Zhenzi dropped these four words and walked past him first. The ponytail tied behind his head hit him in the face, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"Not only is it procrastinating, but it's also verbose." Ryoma held the back of his head in his hands and walked past him with emotion.
"Indeed, if I were Nami-sensei, I would definitely not like Akira-kun." The tall Kenjiro felt the same way.
The rest of the people were also like this, talking and laughing, making fun of Sakurai Akira's coquettish manner.
Sakurai Akira remained silent.
They are samurai, and samurai draw their swords to decide the difference between life and death. As the swords held in the hands of adults, this time they will finally make a real cut with this sword.
But no one knows whether this sword will ever return to its sheath after it is struck.
The causes and consequences of this war, as well as the pros and cons, have been clearly explained to them.
This battle has nothing to do with the Sheqi Eight Families or the Menggui. It has nothing to do with Tokyo. What they want to protect is the city they have only seen on TV.
For adults, whether Tokyo exists or not, or Japan, has nothing to do with him. Adults don't care whether the first two exist or not, they only care about the well-being of the people around them, but they cannot turn a blind eye. Here...it is them after all.
's hometown.
The six people came to the courtyard. The mist was hazy in front of the hot spring pool, and a person could be vaguely seen leaning against the wall of the pool.
"Sir... we are going." Sakurai Akira took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Now that you've decided, let's go." In the mist, the man waved his hand and said in a lazy voice, "If you don't do some things, you will hate yourself. The serum has been given to you. Remember, this is for you.
You who are trying to save your lives, if nothing can be done in the end, then go back, it will be more than enough to survive for the few of you."
"Yes." The six people bowed silently and retreated one by one.
The huge courtyard fell silent again.
The hot spring pool in the Black Stone Mansion is a natural bluestone trough. The stonemason used copper pipes to introduce the hot spring water to form this warm and jade-like pool. A tall ancient cherry tree was planted above the pool. This kind of cherry blossom is called "
"Han Ying".
Hanzakura blooms earlier than other cherry blossoms. Its bloom indicates that the "sakura tide" is sweeping across Japan. At this moment, this cherry tree has lost all its cherry blossoms, which also means that the tide of falling flowers will also sweep across the entire country.
The hot steam from the hot spring lingers in the courtyard for a long time. There is no wind, no rain, and no falling flowers tonight.
"Ask a question." Lu Mingfei asked, leaning against the hot spring pool.
"Brother, why do you have so many problems? Alas, I'm the only one who loves you." He pretended to sigh in a mature way, and Lu Mingze's figure emerged in the hazy mist.
He sat next to Lu Mingfei, with his knees immersed in the water, and he was dragging a tray in his hand.
Lu Mingfei casually took a glass of ice-cold orange juice from the tray, "You are the one who told the principal how to kill the Dragon King?"
"It's part of the deal, everyone gets what they need." Lu Mingze put down the tray and said casually, "I have lived a very hard life these years. I have to support the secret development of forces and take care of you, so I can only find someone to cooperate with me.
.Also, brother, don’t always think how good your principal is. He is an Avenger who has lived for more than a hundred years. Educator is just his part-time job. His real job is 'revenge'. He will give up anything for revenge.
,"
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
"You want to say that the principal is actually the ultimate ruthless person. He has no relatives or friends. The reason why he is good to the students is because he needs these people to fight for him. Everyone is a tool in his eyes, and he uses it to
A tool for revenge against the Dragon Clan, can he give up everything for revenge?"
Lu Mingfei swung the glass gently and spoke calmly. He was not angry because Lu Mingze slandered the principal, nor did he waver in his opinion of Principal Ange because of it.
Lu Mingze tilted his head and said, "Did I say these words to you in my last life?"
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "You did say something similar, but what I just said was said to me by the principal himself."
"Oh?" Lu Mingze was a little curious.
"That was the last time I saw him." Lu Mingfei said softly, "He didn't know who I was, but he could guess a little bit, and even if he didn't know well, he knew that I was a monster that could kill the Dragon King. The last time we met was
Before the end."
"I didn't tell you what will happen in the future, right?"
"Because I don't want to recall, just like I don't like to use Longwen excessively. This will deepen my 'return' and remind me of the past, and it is a longer-term bad memory."
He slowly supported his head with his right hand and closed his eyes as if tired.
"Eri died, my senior brother was captured by Odin, the boss finally inherited the family, and my senior sister disappeared mysteriously... The people around me disappeared one after another, and then many unknown people appeared one after another.
Guys, someone revealed our identity. The hybrids all over the world, including the secret party, regard us as enemies. I can only escape. Thanks to this escape, I went to many places incognito, such as the places you recommended to me.
South America.”
"It's really nice there. There are sky, mountains and rivers. There's no fog or tall buildings blocking my view. I can see the place as far as the eye can see. It's a place where people can think alone. I thought about a lot of things clearly there."
"The principal found me before the end. He was alone with no one, carrying a fruit basket in his hand, as if he was going to the ward to see patients... When he found me, I had just taken the prey from the locals.
In exchange for a bottle of liquor, I would live in a dilapidated wooden house with no internet, no computer, no mobile phone, no electronic equipment, and no one would bother me."
"The principal said this is a really good place. He also wants to find a place like this to live in seclusion. On weekdays, each person has a shotgun. When he is in a good mood, he goes to the woods to hunt, and when he is in a bad mood, he goes to the lake to swim and fish. Unfortunately, he has no chance."
"We chatted all night over the bottle of strong wine and barbecue. To be precise, he was talking most of the time. He told me about the changes in the world and the changes in the school over the years, and then said that he was sorry for me.
"
Lu Mingfei paused and turned to look at Lu Mingze, "He said he was sorry for not protecting me, he was sorry for using me as a secret weapon all these years, and he was sorry for not visiting me when I was young.
…”
"It's an old trick of mankind to retreat in order to advance." Lu Mingze smiled, "If he asks you to come out as soon as he comes up, you will probably feel conflicted. But if he uses retreat to advance and plays the emotional card, you will be
If you feel uneasy or guilty, then you can deliver it to your door yourself, with free shipping. You are always so easy to deceive."
Lu Mingfei stared at him for a long time. The latter rarely took a step back. He lacked the flattery and just stared at his brother quietly, with eyes so deep that they seemed to be able to swallow people's hearts.
"You said the same thing last time." Lu Mingfei suddenly smiled.
He grinned: "So I hesitated at that time. I didn't take action immediately until I witnessed the death of the principal and the world reduced to purgatory."
"You said that the principal is a complete vengeful person who can give up everything for revenge. It is true. This guy thinks so himself. But sometimes, does it really matter what a person thinks and how he says it? It shouldn't be important.
How to do it?”
"In your eyes, the old guy who could sacrifice everything for revenge chose to be a teacher at the last moment and sacrificed his life."
Lu Mingfei murmured: "So if I do it again, I will still recognize him as the principal and Caesar as the boss. It's not because I miss everything that has passed away. This is certainly a reason, but it is not the whole story."
"I only lived for twenty or thirty years in my previous life. To the Dragon Clan, this period of time is as short as the life span of a day or night, but the weight of this life is far greater than the past that was a hundred times a thousand times longer."
"It is precisely because of this that I am still me."
"Brother, are you scared?" Lu Mingze stretched out his little hand and stroked his brother's cheek lovingly.
He finally understood what his brother was saying and what he was afraid of.
Rather than speaking to him, these words were spoken to his brother himself. He was strengthening his own will.
It turns out that my brother is still afraid. He is not afraid to give up all authority and restart, but he is afraid that this is a dream and everything will be back to the original after waking up.
He is even more afraid that it is not him who will return this time. He already has such beautiful things, so how can he be willing to let go and lose them?
People who have nothing naturally don't care about losing, but the more they have, the more they fear death, because after death, you will no longer be able to touch those beautiful and within reach things.
"Shouldn't I be afraid?" Lu Mingfei asked softly, "Most people in this world always focus on the distance, yearning for something unprecedented, but they always ignore what they already have, and they don't wake up until they lose it.
, it’s a pity that there is no time to look back.”
"Most of this generation are mediocre people, including you and me."
Lu Mingfei slowly stood up from the pool, and the pool water poured down from his shoulders.
"Dragon blood passed down from ancient times can strengthen human bones and muscles to the point where they are not afraid of cannonballs, giving them the power to command the world, but dragon blood cannot make this place invulnerable."
Lu Mingfei raised his head, his eyes were solemn, and his right hand gently covered his heart.
"So humans can never really evolve into dragons, but dragons can easily degenerate into humans."
"It is said that dragon blood corrodes powerfully, but in my opinion, it may not be able to defeat this human heart."
"Naruzawa, what's the point of saying 'love'?"
He slowly lowered his head, and the golden boy ignited, with blazing fire inside it. Unparalleled majesty descended from the sky, like a god coming to the world, and one breath was enough to crush the heaven and earth.
Lu Mingze lost his mind for a moment, but it was not because of his brother's true appearance as a king.
Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to that snowy night. He was carrying the princess and walking along the railway track to go to the warm east to find spring and his brother. He was speechless along the way, only the howling of the wind and snow in his ears, and
The cold tears falling on his neck.
The princess cried and complained that her parents who sold her no longer loved her. He cursed impatiently and said, "What's the use of love? It can't be seen or touched, and it can't fill the stomach. It only makes people worry. Wake up, you are a
As a mixed race, your dragon bloodline makes you strong but also destined to be lonely. You should live strong and independently, without the need for such a thing as love!
The princess sobbed softly and said that she understood, but her tears still kept falling, and they turned into ice after being blown by the cold wind. The cold made him shiver, and then he became angry.
He is the supreme monarch. When he is angry, the whole world will tremble. The trumpet of war will ring from the top of the world. He will lead his army to sweep across the world. All creatures will kneel on the ground to welcome his arrival. But
But he couldn't stop a girl from crying.
He could only promise her what she wanted.
Human beings are so stupid, looking longingly at things they don't have, and are always easily satisfied by the pie outlined by others.
So the girl hugged his neck tightly and whispered back to him saying yes, her voice was easily swallowed up by the wind and snow.
His absence lasted only for a moment. After all, he was a devil who had lived for countless years. The waves in his heart subsided in an instant and he returned to tranquility.
He raised his head and smiled again: "Brother, you are as charming as before tonight."
In the past here, it was the king of heaven who looked at all living beings with cold eyes.
Lu Mingfei pinched his cheek gently and said, "If you don't say it now, you may not have the chance in the future."
"If you're so unsure, just don't go." Lu Mingze shrugged.
"How can that be done? I really don't care about authority, nor do I care about how this world becomes, but at least... I can't let this world fall into the hands of people I hate."
Lu Mingfei turned around and smiled, "What do you think, Old Tang? It's been a while, haven't you forgotten me? You agreed to take me on a Greyhound ride to eat hot dogs."
The figure that had been standing aside like a statue slowly opened its eyes.
He stood in the hazy mist, with a golden flame in the hole burning like a solitary lamp, and the huge membrane wings gathered behind him like a screen. He stood silently, looking at the two familiar people in front of him, but he did not dare to easily
Open your mouth.
The majesty that suddenly appeared before reminded him of an existence that had died for a long, long time and should never come back again...
"Don't be so restrained, I'm clear about it." Lu Mingfei blushed, rarely feeling a little ashamed.
"Mingming" was his ID in the group back then.
"Who...are you?" Norton's voice was low and hoarse.
"Who do you want me to be?" Lu Mingfei asked without answering, "I hope you are Old Tang, what about you?"
"There is no Old Tang." Norton said coldly, "There has never been an Old Tang, there is only Norton, the Dragon King Norton!"
Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze silently, and the latter blinked with an innocent look on his face, as if he was saying that this would have been the end of his relationship with you.
"It's never happened, does that mean it's right?" Lu Mingfei scolded angrily.
Norton frowned. Is this really that person? Why is he talking so wrongly?
He looked back and saw that the alchemy array depicted on the floor of the room was still horrifying after seeing it ten or a hundred times.
This time he did not have time to leave an egg before his death. According to common sense, he would need to spend thousands of years to cocoon. This is still under the protection of the "Lord of Bronze and Fire". If it were other first-generation species, even if the soul is immortal,
It must be the ending of losing the body and lingering.
And these two...
And this alchemy formation is unprecedented and unheard of!
He is the King of Bronze and Fire, and his attainments in alchemy can be said to be unparalleled among the dragon clan. There are only a few people who can surpass him. He has never seen such alchemy before, and he can't even look at it carefully for a moment.
Analyze its construction principle.
Alchemy, like dragon literature, is passed down by blood. If even he has never seen it...if later generations don't reinvent the old and bring out the new, then there is only one possibility left, and this possibility corresponds to his conjecture.
The reason why alchemy and dragon writing can be passed down along the bloodline is because the first two kings imprinted them deep in the bloodline, but if...
What about those two hiding their secrets?
When he looked at Lu Mingfei again, he was already cautious.
He remembered this person. Before he awakened, this person was an online friend with him and played games together. Before he awakened, he met him in real life, but he also remembered that this person was timid and cowardly and ugly... How? Will it be so?
Was it because he had not awakened like himself at the beginning?
But what about now?
Judging from his words and deeds, he is not like that person. How could that person have talked so much nonsense with him, at most two words——
"Kneel down."
"You are neither a friend nor a traitor, how dare you not kneel before me?"
The golden boy like molten gold pierced the fog, and it seemed as if the sky collapsed, and a vast and heavy majesty rose.
At this moment, Norton was shocked to realize that the person in front of him was obviously very close, but far away and far away, just like the king of heaven who once sat on the clouds hanging from the sky, bowing his head to see all living beings!
