Chapter 199 Constantine? ? ?
The dragon’s massive back occasionally appears on the water’s surface, followed by the shattering and sinking of a small boat.
The system hovered in mid-air, somewhat helpless. It could sense that the other party was toying with them, but the other party also understood that water was not their home ground, so they had no intention of coming out...
Xia Mi sensed something was wrong; she had a vague feeling that the situation was very abnormal.
After all, what is this thing? Norton brought the Philosopher's Stone to take down a dragon from the Bronze and Fire Lord lineage, and he was still fooled by the other party. No, are you guys putting on a show here?
Let's fight! If he won't go into the water, then you go in! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Why are you stalling for time with such a tacit understanding?
Xia Mi felt a little numb. So you guys are putting on an act, huh... Wait, why is the surrounding temperature still rising? The disturbances in the elements are getting even bigger.
Are there any experts?
The once clear night began to darken, and the elements were completely disrupted.
"You all smell like your older brother!"
Amidst the rising white steam, a pair of fiery wings emerged from the water.
Like a burning fireman, he stood with his arms outstretched amidst the white steam, exuding a majestic aura.
Wang Wei emanated from the other party, and at such close range, almost no one dared to look directly at him! Many mixed-race individuals who were nearby even instinctively shrank back.
Ordinary creatures would be intimidated by the Golden Eyes, but according to the records of the Secret Party and the Kassel College, ordinary humans would be scared to death by dragons when they faced them, and would even suffer cardiac arrest and die suddenly!
Hybrids with bloodlines can mitigate this damage to some extent, but the lower the bloodline, the greater the damage. When facing dragons at extremely close range, only hybrids with extremely high purity can pick up their weapons and confront the dragons.
However, this is just an ordinary dragon. The higher the purity of the dragon's bloodline, the stronger its aura. Throughout history, countless dragon-slaying heroes have died from heart failure the moment they picked up their weapons and came into close contact with the Dragon King.
Those who were able to participate in this operation were all hybrids selected by the system from among the best, but even they could not help but feel terrified when faced with the appearance of the Dragon King within a few dozen meters.
The enormous dragon, nearly 20 meters long, finally emerged from the water alongside the human figure. It spread its wings and stood tall behind the figure.
They were like a king and his servants.
Lu Mingfei was unaffected, but somewhat bewildered. The system wasn't bewildered either, but its analytical processing power suddenly increased as it analyzed the little dragon-like figure before it...
[...The Dragon King? The three-eyed Dragon King, Constantine, the King of Bronze and Fire?...]
A giant dragon over 20 meters long was behind the human figure, but it was like a background; the human figure in front of it was the main character.
Its mere appearance brought with it extreme heat, making the surrounding air incredibly hot. Could it be the influence of that giant dragon? Uncertain…
"Constantine?"
Xia Mi was not affected by Wang Wei.
Her hand holding the sniper rifle trembled slightly. It really was the Dragon King, Constantine!
Her gun is now loaded with Philosopher's Stone bullets, and she has checked them; they are genuine Philosopher's Stones!
If she shoots Constantine in his third eye, she can kill him effortlessly!
She can unlock the achievement of killing a dragon king, and might even be able to steal the dragon bone cross left behind by Constante after his death and fly away! Then she can find a secluded place to devour it, thus evolving into a fully-fledged dragon king!
But the situation was so bizarre that she dared not fire a shot!
Whenever Lu Mingfei told her to shoot the King of Ocean and Water or the King of Sky and Wind, she would shoot immediately and then grab the Dragon Bone Cross.
But then, out of nowhere, a King of Bronze and Fire appeared! Isn't that Norton's brother?!
Could it be that Norton was reluctant to kill Constantine? So he wanted to use humans to kill Constantine? To carry out a cannibalistic scheme?
She wasn't quite sure what had happened, but she really didn't dare to make any rash moves. This was her real body! Even if she killed Constantin now, she might be intercepted by the enraged Norton and then have her Dragonbone Cross smashed by Norton!
The bond between the Dragon King's twins is inexplicable yet profound. Even if Norton doesn't want to kill, whoever kills Constantine will surely be killed by the enraged Norton!
Faced with this situation, the half-blood of the Holy Judgment assigned by the system did not dare to fire. Logically speaking, with the dragon flying motionless in the air, this was the easiest time to hit it.
But Lu Mingfei didn't restrain Long. It was just a bullet; Long could catch it with his bare hand!
Like burning wings slowly flapping, the handsome boy's face reminded Lu Mingfei of the Little Devil, except that the Little Devil was missing a pair of wings, had dragon scales all over his body, and a third eye on his forehead!
The little devil is still more affectionate!
The system analysis reads: "[...1 vs 2? If that dragonman were strong enough, he probably wouldn't stand a chance!...]"
A 1v1 system is not a problem; it can withstand any situation and then escape. But with a 1v2 system, things are not so certain; it might just lead to certain death.
Unless you summon the little devil to activate that Dragon King trial card, but given the situation...
Constantin approached Lu Mingfei, his three eyes fixed on him, a sight that even Lu Mingfei, hiding behind the hosting system, found quite unsettling.
Constantin spoke to Lu Mingfei in Longman script: "I'm not here to see you, I'm looking for my brother. Do you know where he is?"
"Your brother, Norton?" The system faced Constanze, calmly confronting the dragon king.
[...The current situation is not conducive to conflict; it's far too unsafe...]
[...Constantine doesn't seem to have much ill intent?...]
If Lu Mingfei weren't here and his life wasn't threatened, the system would have taken immediate action, since Lu Mingfei's life was the top priority.
The absolute minimum requirement is to ensure that the host does not die; this is the only bottom line, the highest priority objective, without exception.
“Yes, I can’t find him, but you smell like him,” Constantin said softly. “Where is my brother?”
The system said, "Where is Norton? I don't quite understand..."
Does Lu Mingfei smell like Norton?
Norton? Is that really Don Quixote? But the problem is that Don Quixote is currently facing Odin's attempt to kill him, and he's thousands of miles away...
[...Could we shift the blame? Let Constantine and Norton recognize each other, and then they can work together to defeat Odin?...]
The moment this analysis appeared, it was immediately rejected by the system.
Are you kidding me? You want Constantine and Norton to recognize each other, then defeat Odin, and then what? Face two fully-powered dragon twins?
If Norton is Donald Trump, why doesn't Odin just deal with Donald Trump directly? There must be some trickery involved, or some unknown secret of the dragon race.
Constantin's eyelids drooped slightly. Although he was incredibly powerful, he was like a dejected child abandoned by his brother, only wanting to find him.
"You must know where he is. Take me to him."
"Lu Mingze!"
Lu Mingfei summoned Lu Mingze directly.
Time seemed to stand still as Lu Mingze descended from the sky, exuding elegance.
"What's wrong, brother?"
"Nothing much, I just came here to have you drag me into a dream so I can buy some time to think. By the way, isn't this guy in front of me Constantine, the King of Bronze and Fire?" Lu Mingfei said.
Lu Mingze, with his ability to enter dreams, has rendered both Lu Mingfei and the system helpless. However, Lu Mingze's appearance also has an advantage: he drags Lu Mingfei into a dream, where time is infinitely extended. Then, the system enters the dream with Lu Mingfei and enjoys this infinitely extended time to analyze things.
"He is indeed Constantine."
The little devil chuckled softly, glanced at Constantin beside him with his pair of burning wings, and said, "But what's there to think about? Brother, you killed him, you'll be the dragon-slaying hero who killed the Dragon King. You can't bear to kill it? Don't be fooled by its seemingly harmless appearance now; if it wanted to kill, who could stop it?"
"As long as he doesn't come after me, that's fine," Lu Mingfei complained. "Fighting to the death is the most unwise approach. If there's a good way to resolve things, that would be the best."
According to the records of Kassel College, dragons are arrogant, haughty, and cruel. Even the dragons with overflowing compassion all died out during the ten thousand years of the dragon dynasty.
The surviving dragons are generally a great threat to humans, and they must be slain in order to save humanity.
But the prerequisite for slaying the dragon is that Lu Mingfei must not sacrifice his life.
It doesn't matter if others die, but I can't bear to die. I am the hope for the future of humanity!
"The solution is a fight to the death, brother. Don't you understand? Throughout history, force has not been the only way to resolve conflicts, but it is the most effective method. Therefore, history is always filled with the shadow of war, because starting a war is already solving the problem."
Lu Mingze smiled, like an angel on earth, making everyone who saw him feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
But the methods he used to resolve conflicts and problems were so chilling.
War, two seemingly insignificant words, represent countless innocent souls.
Lu Mingze didn't know what Lu Mingfei meant by those words. He suspected that Lu Mingfei wanted to compromise and force a united front...
He said, “Brother, instead of trying to mend things and wasting countless years only to find that the method has failed, why not just launch a just war to wipe out all the rebels? This is the simplest and most effortless method, and it is also the most effective method that has been proven by history. Without dragons, there will naturally be no war between humans and dragons.”
"Ah, yes, yes."
Lu Mingfei didn't really listen to the little devil's words because he was focused on the system's analysis log.
[...Using the Dragon King Experience Card, Constantine dies, and one of the Bronze and Fire Kings dies in the world, meaning one of the eight Dragon Kings of the Four Thrones is gone...]
[...With the dragon race weakened by the absence of a dragon king, humanity will have a greater chance of victory...]
[...The Dragon King's dragon bone cross is relatively special. While the cross of a common dragon's bones wouldn't be wasted using it to make the Philosopher's Stone, the Dragon King's dragon bone cross is rumored to contain the Dragon King's ultimate power, perhaps even his authority?...]
The authority of the Dragon King is actually somewhat ethereal to humans. Without a systematic investigation and study of dragon script materials, people might not even know about the authority of the Dragon King.
In the minds of normal human hybrids, the Dragon King might be a more powerful dragon, just like a stronger individual among humans.
Later, with in-depth research into the Dragon Clan Dynasty, people discovered that there was such a thing as the Dragon King's Authority, which was the real key to their ability to sit on the throne.
However, this thing only exists in the dragon script. What exactly is it? No one has ever figured it out because humans have never actually possessed the Dragon King's Bone Cross.
From the system's perspective, killing Constantine with the Dragon King Experience Card is easy, but killing the Dragon King shouldn't be done just for the sake of killing, because there are clearly many benefits to be gained. If it's wasted, it would be a terrible waste!
Anyway, with Lu Mingze's infinitely extended dream, we can carefully analyze every step of the plan.
"Brother, time is running out," Lu Mingze suddenly said softly.
"Hmm? What do you mean there's not much time left?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"My dream is about to break down. The presence of the Dragon King around me is a huge burden on maintaining the dream."
Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised when Lu Mingze admitted defeat for the first time; he had thought this little devil was invincible!
Why did it suddenly poop at this crucial moment?
However, this was also a good thing, as Lu Mingze's level of mystery dropped sharply, which greatly reduced his initial apprehension.
After all, Lu Mingze had been acting mysteriously before, which made him quite unpredictable. Both the system and Lu Mingfei were wary of him because they didn't know what he was up to or whether it would harm Lu Mingfei.
Now that the other party has revealed their weaknesses, it proves that they are not as scary as they seem.
[...Constantine...]
Upon hearing Lu Mingze's words, the system immediately began to shrink the previously infinitely widened analysis lines, and quickly focused on analyzing whether or not to fight Constantine and whether or not to expose the opponent's Dragonbone Cross.
"How many more seconds can this dream last?" Lu Mingfei asked.
