Dragon Clan: Restart your life

"Fujin, like Kassel Academy's EVA, is a special artificial intelligence created with flexible technology. Her original personality template came from the maid next to Odin. In a sense, she is not a pawn we placed, she is They took the initiative to find us and offered to cooperate with us.”

"The maid next to Odin takes the initiative to seek cooperation with you?"

"Her reason is that the monarch on the throne has become a fake king, and the real monarch has lost his crown and is living in the world. She came to us to cooperate precisely to avenge her monarch."

"It's loyal. The maids around Odin have discovered the truth. In this case, you have already understood the truth about Odin's replacement?"

"We can't just trust the enemy's cronies so easily, especially when the opponent is Odin. He is always prepared. No one can compare with him when it comes to planning the dragon clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to unite everyone to end Frixis. We are skeptical about this. Even if we have the lifeblood of Fujin, we still do not fully trust her. But not long ago, Mars found Arthur's tomb and confirmed that there is an unknown soul in his body. , suspected to be Odin himself, and Arthur is the last human being to enter Avalon that we know of."

Lu Mingfei had already learned about the story of Odin and Loki from Lu Mingze and Norns, one of the parties involved, so he was not surprised by this.

Compared to the fact that Odin was replaced, Mars surprised him even more when he found King Arthur's tomb.

If he remembered correctly... that day in the principal's office, he heard clearly that Pompeii Gattuso also found King Arthur's tomb, and it was also an incredible thing.

Are the people behind the Gattuso family the Presbyterians, or is Pompeii himself connected to the Presbyterians?

"What is your relationship with the Gattuso family?" Lu Mingfei chose to ask directly.

"The Gattuso family?" Edjo was slightly startled and said, "They obtained the eggs of Frisis more than a hundred years ago. We took the initiative to find them and forced them to cooperate with us. We pushed them to secretly The rise of the party has provided them with a complete plan to usurp power. We want to see if this plan can work. We have always been curious about how Odin touched the threshold of the Supreme."

"But they were very cautious and believed that the stakes were so high that it was necessary to make several attempts first, and Herzog was their chosen guinea pig."

"In recent years, we have gradually lost control of this family. We suspect that they have colluded with other forces behind our backs, but we have never been able to find relevant evidence."

"When did you become so timid? As a human family, the suspicion is immediately eliminated. Do you need evidence?"

"Yes, that's what we should be doing," Edjo sighed, "but we were blocked, and by someone you'd never guess."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei looked at him.

"The person who secretly blocked us is your younger brother, the former earthly king." Edcho whispered, "He secretly blocked our secret siege against the Gattuso family. We were surprised by his We did not take action until the key was investigated. Later, when we learned about your awakening, we did not dare to take action without authorization."

Lu Mingfei said word by word: "You said he stopped your action against the Gattuso family?"

Edjo also looked very confused, "Yes, we still haven't figured out the purpose of his attack. Maybe he wanted to take revenge himself?"

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

He originally didn't think Edcho would deceive him, but now he was shaken because the news was too absurd.

Lu Mingze personally stopped the Presbyterian Council from encircling and suppressing the Gattuso family? Why?

He has not forgotten that Lu Mingze in his previous life has actually been guiding him to take action against the Gattuso family and the boss, including the time when he dived into Tokyo waters.

He has been inducing himself, "persuading" himself to kill Caesar Gattuso more than once, and vaguely pointed the final enemy at the boss, the Gattuso family, and even the secret party.

He is hostile to the Gattuso family. Will you save your enemy?

If you choose to save your enemy, it proves that the benefits brought by this matter are much higher than the hostility, and you will receive benefits that you cannot refuse.

What does Lu Mingze want from the Gattuso family?

Or is it that the existence of the Gattuso family is more in line with his expectations?

Or, as Ed Qiao guessed, Lu Mingze wanted to take revenge with his own hands?

Lu Mingfei said in a low voice: "Is Frisis's egg the same one that Xia Zhi mourned that year?"

"Yes."

"Whose hands is the egg now?"

"The Gattuso family, we have verified that this is a dead egg, and the soul of Frisis has long since escaped."

"You said that Frisius has been resurrected, so what is the use of his eggs? Even if he has not been resurrected, but his soul has escaped, this is an empty shell with only appearance. The Gattuso family cannot rely on This egg usurps the power of Frixis." Lu Mingfei suddenly questioned.

The reason why Herzog was able to usurp the White King's authority through the holy bones was because the holy bones contained the White King's genetic information. The parasitized person would start the path of evolution and obtain the White King's hidden information. At the same time, the soul of the White King will also swallow the soul of the carrier.

But with an empty shell that has lost its soul, how can the Gattuso family usurp the power of Frixis?

Even if there is still some genetic information left in it, even with advanced genetic technology, it is impossible for them to reproduce the complete Frisius, let alone usurp power.

Edjo was silent for a moment and said: "Do you still remember the Dragon King's egg under the Tokyo Sea? It is the elder brother of the King of Ocean and Water, and it is also the favorite pet of your younger brother. The egg of Frixis is in the same state as It’s the same, we don’t know what happened in the first place and what circumstances led to this scene, but Frixis’ egg did not really die while losing its soul, and his egg still retains a certain degree of vitality.”

"After losing his soul, there is still some vitality left?" Lu Mingfei whispered, "This means that Frisius did not completely abandon his eggs, he did not give up the dragon body, he just left temporarily, and eventually one day The Japanese will try to recapture his eggs. You cannot be unaware of this, but you still handed over such an important thing to the Gattuso family. What are your plans?"

Ad Qiao said nothing, but his averted eyes told the story.

Lu Mingfei said coldly: "Do you want to use the hands of the Gattuso family to lure out Frisius? Or do you have other purposes? But the final result is that not only did you fail to achieve your goal, but he caught the flaw and killed you continuously. You five. You always have plans of one kind or another, but you never think about whether you can bear the price of failure. This was true then, and it is even more true now. Now you even came to me and tried to ask me to wipe your butts. Edjo, what on earth do you think?”

After a long silence, Edjo said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, we never think about the cost of failure, because failure has no cost to us at all, and even death cannot punish us. In the end, the dispute reached a point where it could not be ended, and we have long been accustomed to your presence."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Tens of millions of years have passed by, but we still haven't gotten used to the world without you."

Lu Mingfei said expressionlessly: "Is this the reason why you are trying to create gods?"

"Maybe so." Edjo said softly, "Your Majesty, I have witnessed with my own eyes the era after you were active and disappeared. I originally thought that this world would be bleak after losing you, but what makes me sad and puzzled is that , the world is still spinning, and the rising sun has never been late. But if even you can't stop the mighty wheel of history for a moment, then who else in the world can stop time and turn back the clock?"

Lu Mingfei stared at him: "What exactly do you want, Adeqiao?"

Hearing his question, Edjo's eyes felt dazed and absent-minded for a moment.

"What I thought at first was actually very simple. The purpose of the Presbyterian Church was the same at the beginning. We have become accustomed to God watching our lives from high on high, and we are used to a life where we have someone to take care of everything. But gradually, I want to understand More and more, I integrated into human life, hiding myself, and letting myself learn human living habits. Your Majesty, for a while, I thought I was assimilated by humans, and I began to try to usurp more Power and power, trying to establish a unique position in the Presbyterian Church, for this reason, forced away several original companions...if we can call each other companions."

"But as the long years passed by, I lost my original enthusiasm for power and power, and what I wanted became less and less. People always change their initial concepts again and again in a limited time. Those who admire and Things, or the ambitions and dreams that have been ignited, are slowly changed by time, and I think the dragon family is the same."

"When I found out that I was about to die, I ended hundreds of years of confusion, because I was surprised to find that I had no time to continue to be confused, and my life was coming to an end. I began to re-examine myself, examine myself These hundreds of years of losing direction, look at the tens of millions of years since we lost you, and look at what we have been pursuing in these years."

"Your Majesty, what do you think is priceless in this world?"

The old man appeared in front of the king, showing his weakness and confusion that would never be exposed to anyone. He recalled the countless years that passed by and raised his own questions.

Is there really anything priceless in this world?

Are the things they are pursuing priceless and worth spending their entire lives pursuing?

Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated slightly, and his heart was uncontrollably aroused by Adeqiao's confession.

He didn't expect Edcho to ask him such a question.

What is priceless in this world?

He subconsciously squeezed the hand of the girl next to him, and he thought of more.

Many people in this world unconsciously ignore the important things around them. It is not until they lose the important people that they suddenly realize that there are some things that they would hate themselves if they did not do them, but they still hesitate at the moment when it is time to take the step, so they regret it. And tears are always late, whether they let the tears wet the pillow every night, or let regrets gnaw at their hearts, by this time everything is too late, they have lost the priceless thing. opportunity, so the world never lacks tragedy.

As Lu Mingfei, who has restarted his life, he feels that he should know what is priceless better than anyone else.

So he has been pursuing what he has lost, and cherishes everything he has at this moment more greedily than anyone else.

As Edcho, who has lived for a long time but is about to face death, what is the priceless thing he is looking for after re-examining his life?

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that this was the moment when he understood the true intentions of the ancient dragons headed by Ed Qiao.

“If you think that’s priceless, then it’s priceless.”

Adjo's eyes moved over Uesugi Eriki's face, and he smiled and said: "His Majesty's answer is still as rude as ever. Has your Majesty ever heard of a short story about Chicago? The protagonist of this story is a group of oysters."

"Oyster?"

"In 1954, a scientist brought back a batch of oysters from the coast of Connecticut. He raised these oysters in an aquarium in a basement in Chicago and observed their habits. Everything was normal for the first two weeks. The oysters followed But as time passed, the scientist discovered that the oysters still rose and fell like the tide, but they no longer followed the ebb and flow of the waters of Conneteague. The scientists compared the world's All the oceans in the world do not conform to any tide table known to science."

Edjo paused for a moment, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window. After taking a breath, he whispered: "Your Majesty, can you guess where this batch of oysters is following the tide?"

Lu Mingfei looked slightly startled. He followed Edcho's gaze and saw the world in his eyes. It was the city still brightly lit in the night, and the quiet and vast Lake Michigan in the distance.

"But Chicago...there is no Haicai." Lu Mingfei murmured, and he guessed the answer behind this question.

"After calculations, scientists realized that what the oysters follow is actually the high tide time of the Chicago sea. If there is a sea in Chicago." Edcho looked at Lu Mingfei deeply, "There is no sea in Chicago, but they imagined it. A sea that is exactly the same as their hometown in their memories. They imagine when the tide should rise and fall, and then follow the ebb and flow of this imaginary sea to adjust their own cycles and the rhythm of the sea. Compatible."

"Your Majesty, the time may have come. We will finally face the final question. Where do the dragons come from, and where does the elemental sea... come from?"

"Every dragon clan will never forget your glory and majesty engraved in the blood, just as every first-generation species cannot forget the sea we saw when we were born into the world."

"The illusory sea that gently embraces the entire planet."

"We once thought that was our hometown, the starting point and birthplace of the Dragon Clan, but until the day when Frisis overthrew your throne, he told us that everything was wrong and false. It was you who The reality of the world is hidden from us.”

"Of course we would not believe so easily the words of a traitor."

"But maybe... maybe, I'm thinking, maybe Frisius didn't lie, otherwise how could he dare to betray you? But he may not know all the truth."

"Your Majesty, for us old guys, many things are actually not important anymore. Wealth is, power is, life and death are also important. Only... you."

"But it seems you don't need us anymore."

"We hid in the dark and investigated everything after your birth. Your brother hid you very well. Until you took the initiative to appear in front of the world, we were unable to find you in advance. We looked through your life, Smith. He even went to the small southern town where you were while hiding his identity. He stood on the paulownia path that you often walked and told us on the phone that it seemed that when he looked back, he could see you walking alone on this path in those years. In this scene, he watched you walking towards him, then turned your back to him and walked away. Finally, he was silent for a long time and said three words."

"I can't figure it out."

"Yeah, how can we understand that you are so great that you are willing to be so humble as dust? Maybe we have never understood you at all, and you will not confide in us."

"But we also thought, if you are really willing to be ordinary, why do you want to stand in front of this world again?"

"Mars said that you must have found a reason to face the world again, a reason to be the enemy of the world even if you expose yourself."

"We didn't understand it at first, until we found out the people around you now..."

"Your Majesty, you no longer need us to lead the way in your life."

"To this day, we are still not used to the world without you, but you have long been accustomed to the world without us. Maybe this is the world you yearn for."

"We are a little sad, but we are also happy."

"Your Majesty, we have all lived for too long. Sometimes when we look at the increasingly prosperous human civilization, we even wonder if the dragon race is no longer suitable for this world?"

"For us today, the truly priceless thing may be the truth of it all."

Ed Qiao sat opposite Lu Mingfei. His face was extremely old, and his gentle eyes shone with peace and even kindness.

He looked at Lu Mingfei and their beloved Majesty, and for the first time in his life, he said in a joking tone in front of His Majesty:

"After all, we can't lose to that guy Frisis again. We lost to him once back then, and we can't embarrass Your Majesty again this time."

Lu Mingfei looked sideways in silence and looked directly at Adeqiao.

He slowly closed his eyes, and a tide of memories swallowed him up. It was an illusory tide, an illusory sea, but it crossed the boundary of reality.

In a daze, he returned to the lonely and deserted hall, and opened his eyes in the sunshine.

The dust rising in the air showed up in the sunlight.

Someone pushed open the door of the Bronze Palace, and the wind blew in from outside. The jingling of wind chimes spread far through the empty world, like dandelions blown away by the wind, over the hills and plains, passing by. I don’t know how many thousands of years ago the forest carried away the loneliness accumulated in the Bronze Palace, but it never brought back the greetings from afar.

The veiled woman walked into the hall, stared at the king on the throne who was carrying the whole world alone, and lightly opened her lips:

"Long time no see, Lord of Heaven."
