Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

Old Tang, no, Dragon King Norton no longer responded to Lu Mingfei's words. The pale bone spurs were adhered to flesh and blood, and red blood dripped down bit by bit along the tips of the spikes, as if they were shedding tears.

He walked slowly towards Lu Mingfei, looked at Lu Mingfei's face, raised the bone spur, and the flames climbed up, covering his right arm. The bone spur turned into a shape similar to a softened candle, swimming with plasticity and turning into A simple long knife, a ferocious white bone spear emerged from the handle, piercing into the flesh and blood. At the connection, bright red blood vessels were exposed, beating rhythmically, like a living heart.

“Killing ‘matter’ and then giving ‘matter’ new forms and characteristics is the essence of alchemy.”

The sun had completely set, and four golden fireballs revolved around Norton and flew around the cliff. The golden firelight illuminated the rock.

"I control the power of fire and can easily kill 'matter' and remove all impurities. Therefore, I am the greatest alchemist in the world."

There was a majesty in his words that could not be refuted.

"." Lu Mingfei silently stared at that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Introduction to Alchemy, this is one of his courses this semester, but he has not taken the class yet. The brick-sized book looks so big that it makes his head swell within a few minutes.

"You said you wanted to treat Fingel and I to dinner." Lu Mingfei pulled out the wedge pill, and the cold blade reflected his profile.

Norton took a deep look at Lu Mingfei, and the fire suddenly burst out, covering his figure.

The blades met, sparks sparkling in the black pupils.

"Why don't you use your fire?" Lu Mingfei said, "You can easily burn me to death with your fire."

"Because your blood will be used to pay tribute to Constantine!" Norton's figure was hidden in the fire storm again.

"Your strength is so weak!" Lu Mingfei flicked away the pale bone knife and shouted angrily: "Is it because you are not fully developed like your brother? Or are you showing mercy!"

"What do you know!" Norton let out a piercing scream that was impossible for humans to make: "It's just twenty years of false life! In terms of your human time, it's only equivalent to one day."

"But there are some days that I will remember for the rest of my life!"

Chuanwan's blade trembled and roared, and Lu Mingfei stepped forward, forcing Norton back with a sharp and continuous slashing gesture.

He didn't know how many battles Norton had experienced, but at least from this duel, he couldn't appreciate the Dragon King's superb sword skills.

It's more like Norton is swinging the knife randomly in anger, and you can predict his next blow just by looking at his movements.

Lu Mingfei flicked the knife again and again, but Norton only slashed at him without using any fire or other abilities.

But the strange thing is that every time the blades intersect, there are brilliant sparks sputtering from the blades of the bone knife and wedge pill, like some kind of gorgeous special effect that looks good but is useless.

"Stop it, Old Tang, let's think of a solution, okay?" Lu Mingfei said.

"My name is Norton!" Norton took a deep breath, and the flames surrounded his body again.

"You killed my only brother! Now, be buried with him!" Norton's body floated into the sky, he opened his mouth, and the hot dragon's breath was brewing in it.

His voice echoed in the sky, and everyone could hear his angry roar. A huge fireball condensed in front of him, like a star falling from the sky.

The dragon's breath of the King of Bronze and Fire. He used this flame to melt huge mountains, and his huge dragon body overturned the mountains and swam in the magma.

Lu Mingfei had no intention of avoiding him at all. He looked up and looked into the golden eyes. There was no fear of death in his eyes, they were as calm as water.

The heat wave created an updraft, the black coat swayed, and Lu Mingfei's hair was blown upright.

"Brother, aren't you going to do something? For example, jump up and insert your knife into the Dragon King's chest." Lu Mingze took a piece of roasted red prawn with tongs and ate the contents. Shrimp meat.

Everything has become extremely slow, much slower than the principal's "Time Zero". If the principal's speech spirit is 0.25 times faster, then the pause button is pressed now.

"He has just woken up, and his physical abilities are not much different from the black-haired man who was sapped by you that day. I can help you deal with his flames, and then you can kill the Dragon King and become a dragon-slaying hero. How worthwhile it is. Something to celebrate!”

Lu Mingfei shook his head, "You are finally here."

He looked up and said, "Can you help me? Brother, help me save Old Tang. Although it's very willful to say this, I don't want him to die."

"But the old Tang in your eyes is just a memory of Norton. This period of life is just a movie to him. How do you think you can revive a person who died in the movie?"

"Is there nothing you can do?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head.

"Yes, but brother, the price will be very heavy and the process will be very cumbersome. Although I hate to say this, I can't guarantee success because it is my first time to take on this kind of business." Lu Mingze took out a napkin and wiped it with Wipe hands and mouth.

"Okay, tell me how."

"Don't you ask me what the price is?"

"What's the price?"

"It's so perfunctory." Lu Mingze sighed and took out a piece of parchment from his bag, "Well, brother, before that, let's make a contract."

"Listen, the terms of the deal are as follows. Norton is one of the four dragon kings, the King of Bronze and Fire. The others include the King of Sky and Wind, the King of Earth and Mountains, and the King of Ocean and Water, so I can help you Help me four times, and in return you give me a quarter of your life each time."

"Yes." Lu Mingfei agreed lightly.

"Are you really listening? That's a quarter of your life!" Lu Mingze said loudly.

"Of course I'm listening, and then what."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to care so little about your own life." Lu Mingze spread his palms, "Let's talk about the business process next."

"Brother, press your fingerprints first and use your blood." Lu Mingze handed the parchment to Lu Mingfei.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei used a wedge ball to cut a small wound, and his bright red thumb was printed on the bottom of the parchment.

Lu Mingze put away the parchment, put it in his arms, and cleared his throat.

"The contract is established." Lu Mingze reached out and slapped Lu Mingfei's palm loudly, "Give me your gun first."

Lu Mingfei took off the Marklov pistol from his waist and put it in Lu Mingze's hand.

"Now its bullets are filled. Brother, you must cherish the bullets. Every time you use them, it takes 24 hours to refill them. Today is a special case. I will help you fill it up."

"Thank you." The pistol was inserted back into his belt.

"Since your meager brain capacity cannot understand the entire business process, I will only tell you what needs to be done. The first thing is to kill Norton!"

"What!" Lu Mingfei opened his mouth in surprise: "But isn't Norton just Old Tang? You want me to kill Old Tang?"

"That's right, but brother, I want to tell you one thing, the Dragon King will not die." Lu Mingze said softly: "The fish in the fish tank can only see the outside scenery through the twisted glass, humans Never really understanding the world, they just thought they killed the Dragon King."

"You mean Constantine isn't dead yet?"

"died."

"Then why do you say that the Dragon King will not die?"

"As far as you can understand, he is dead. He cannot speak, his fingers will no longer move, and his body will gradually become cold and stiff."

"Are you dead or not?" Lu Mingfei was confused.

"If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be dead, but not completely dead. It's the same form as death, but it's not dead in the true sense."

"Do you need me to explain it to you in more depth?" Lu Mingze smiled silently.

"." Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like there was a hard stone in his heart, and he wanted to slap Lu Mingze in the butt for no reason.

He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to lift the kid up. "Anyway, you want me to chop Old Tang to death, right? But isn't the contract we made to bring Old Tang back to life?"

"Do you think Old Tang and Norton are the same person?"

"I don't know" Lu Mingfei sighed.

He recalled a philosophical question posed in a magazine.

A ship that has been sailing at sea for hundreds of years is constantly being repaired and parts replaced. As soon as a board rotted, it was replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts were no longer the original ones.

The question is, is the resulting ship still the same ship, or is it a completely different ship?

The answer given in the magazine: Yes.

Because of continuity, if these new ship planks were built into a ship at the beginning, then it is undoubtedly a new ship, but they only replace part of the ship in a gradual replacement, during which time, and The continuity of the old ship is not interrupted.

Lu Mingfei recalled a short science fiction novel he read in elementary school.

People in the future invented portals that could be transported to all parts of the world, but one day the portal suddenly malfunctioned, and countless similar people ran out in panic.

The truth is that the so-called teleportation gate has no teleportation function at all. People who enter the gate will be destroyed, and on the other side of the gate, a clone with the memory of the original owner will be created. Each teleportation represents a clone. of destruction.

A clone whose body is exactly the same as you in every detail, whose memory and even personality are exactly the same. Is he you?

Obviously not, because the most important continuity is missing.

But Tang and Norton are a continuous whole.

"Probably so." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair and fell into philosophical speculation.

"Then do you think this Dragon King standing in the sky playing infinite fireball is the same person who threw cards in the dormitory the night before yesterday?" Lu Mingze asked again.

"." Lu Mingfei was going crazy.

Was the problem faced by the "S-class" who committed suicide by swallowing a gun the same level back then?

"Brother, don't think so much. It's not suitable for you. In short, just do as I say." Lu Mingze patted Lu Mingfei's back, "Don't worry, I understand the customer's requirements very well. Norton has already lost his life." Desire, even if you don’t kill it, it will die.”

"He had no intention of killing you."

Lu Mingze straightened Lu Mingfei's knife so that the tip of the knife was pointed directly at the huge fireball.

"Since the gorgeous flames can't hurt you, then who are they for? This is him, saying goodbye to you."

"No one can save a person who wants to die, not you, not me. It's not easy to change your destined fate."

In an instant, time flows again.

The fragments of flames were like fine golden snow, falling bit by bit.

Everyone was shocked by the Dragon King's power.

"The King of Bronze and Fire." Caesar looked at the blazing fireball and the thin figure standing on the cliff, feeling powerless in his heart.

Although it is far from a complete body, it is still much stronger than the weak and premature Dragon King just now.

The students shoot under the command, but just like in the swimming pool, the fired bullets melt into molten steel and flow at high speed on the invisible barrier.

Chu Zihang ran towards the cliff not far away, chanting dragon inscriptions.

Fine water droplets condensed on the surface of the ice bag that fell alone on the lawn. In the panic, no one noticed the disappearance of a figure.

A man is lying on his hands and knees.

"Thank you, EVA, for always being so prompt." The man held the sniper rifle and pointed the crosshair at Norton's head.

"But what's the use of a sniper rifle? The King of Bronze and Fire controls metal and flames. Bullets can't penetrate the defense and hurt him." A hazy little shadow fell next to him, like a fairy with wings that could fly. elf.

"I know, so I'm going to use that."

"Is it worth it? Paying such a heavy price."

"EVA, what exactly is the Dragon King?"

"The first generation of dragons that were directly split from the black dragon Nidhogg controlled the power of the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind. There is very little information about the dragon kings, so we infer that they are separate monarchs. Now it seems that the throne It should be a pair of twins."

"Although the second-generation species I have seen are very smart, they are still cunning beasts, but the Dragon King is different." The man lowered the sight, and black flames burned on the barrel of the gun. "I feel that the Dragon King is like a human being. I even Can’t tell the difference between them and humans.”

The pitch-black barrel instantly extended and became like a cannon.

The man took a deep breath, stared at the roaring figure in the sky, and pulled the trigger.

The rotating bullet was dyed with strange ink-like flames. This special bullet blended into the hail of bullets. The metal shell melted into molten steel like other bullets, but the black flame penetrated the barrier and headed straight towards it. The Dragon King left from his heart.

Ink-like flames stained Norton's black coat and penetrated his chest.

"Mance, now!" Principal Angers spoke to the badge.

Another ice-blue bullet was also shot from the mountain in the distance.

Norton in the air coughed up a mouthful of blood, and frost formed on his skin.

He roared and rushed towards the cliff with the fireball.

Chu Zihang sprinted to the edge of the cliff, his pupils bursting with light like lava.

"Yan Ling·Jun Yan!"

A field with a radius of five meters enveloped his and Lu Mingfei's bodies, but his Junyan field was like a grandson meeting his grandfather, looking extremely small under the fireball.

The fireball was like a meteor falling from the sky, flooding the cliff head.

"Everyone! Get on your knees and avoid danger!" The principal's roar sounded on the communication channel.

Brilliant fireworks were released, breaking into golden rain.

I feel a little stuck and my head hurts.
