Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

"you guess?"

Su Mo spread his hands and smiled, obviously not planning to tell her.

"Hmph! Forget it if you don't say it!"

After several unsuccessful inquiries, Xia Mi snorted and turned away.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have decided on the matter immediately, Zero suddenly spoke.

"I have a question. You don't seem to have asked for my opinion?"

She looked at the two people in front of her expressionlessly.

They said they wanted to teach ancient boxing techniques or something, but the discussion for a long time was all about Xia Mi. Why didn't anyone ask her if she was willing to learn it?

Hearing this, Xia Mi turned around suddenly and his eyes widened.

"You don't want to learn?!"

Fortunately, she thought about it for a long time before she made up her mind to discuss the matter with Su Mo. Unexpectedly, Su Mo agreed, but Ling had a problem instead.

Seeing Xia Mi's stunned expression, Zero looked away from her and said.

"I just don't think it's necessary."

"There are no more rules. What if we encounter the commandments again?"

Xia Mi asked in confusion.

She didn't have the idea that as long as she wanted to teach, Zero should be grateful for Ling's learning. She was simply worried about Ling.

It's hard to find such a good nanny. If something happens to Ling, wouldn't she be unable to live as a useless person?

"..."

Zero didn't answer, but his refusal attitude remained firm.

"You don't want to owe Xia Mi a favor?"

Su Mo looked at Ling's appearance and asked casually.

"……No."

Zero looked away and shook his head.

Although she is usually well-behaved, she is actually a child who likes to lie occasionally.

"You really don't have a frank character."

Su Mo shook his head.

Being with them these days, although Zero's true character has recovered somewhat, the frozen snowfield in her heart is still there and has not really melted.

Even though Ling's usual expression seems cold, in fact she is not good at accepting or rejecting others, so she needs to use the mask of Sanwu to cover her heart.

She is not good at accepting others, so when she was in Japan before, she obviously liked Eri Yi, but if Su Mo hadn't helped to guide her, she wouldn't have been able to take the initiative to accept Eri Yi.

She is not good at rejecting others, so she is bullied by Su Mo and Xia Mi. Of course, she has grown a lot now. Although she still can't deal with Su Mo and Xia Mi, she has gradually developed the will to resist. She will occasionally make counterattacks, which is more than enough to deal with novices like Su Enxi.

In general, Zero has indeed grown a lot now, but he still has not reached the level where he can frankly accept the kindness of others.

She didn't know how to repay this kindness, so she simply refused.

It's like she doesn't know how to deal with people, so she simply chooses to be indifferent.

In a sense, this is also timid.

Faced with this situation, Su Mo was not in a hurry to correct it, as haste makes waste.

"What if you don't regard it as a gift from Xia Mi, but rather regard it as an apology for Xia Mi's usual bullying? As compensation, you should be able to accept it with peace of mind, right?"

Su Mo asked in a different way.

"no."

Zero immediately shook his head and glanced at Xia Mi.

"If that's the case, then she will definitely regard this as an exchange of equal value, and then feel that she can do whatever she wants after paying the money."

Now Xia Mi reluctantly knows that she is in the wrong, and occasionally restrains herself a little, but if she pays the compensation, wouldn't she justly think that Zero should be bullied by her?

That would be the end of it!

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't refute. After hesitating for a moment, he said it a little unconscionably.

"Even Xia Mi can't do something so extreme——"

Before he finished speaking, Miss Xia Mi clapped her hands with bright eyes.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this? Mother Zero understands me!"

"..."

Su Mo was silent.

Zero and him looked at each other, their eyes clearly saying four words - "I say yes".

She also got to know Xia Mi better and better.

Well, Xia Mi's path was definitely dead, so after thinking about it, Su Mo said.

"Then let's put it another way. It's not a gift or an apology, but the employer's request."

Hearing this, Ling raised his head to look at Su Mo and reacted.

"Since your mission is to protect me, you should become as strong as possible, otherwise you will not be able to play the role of a bodyguard, so you must learn ancient boxing techniques."

Su Mo continued.

These words hit Zero's weakness.

What she fears most is not Xia Mi and Su Mo's bullying, but her own loss of value.

Useless people will be thrown away. She doesn't want to be abandoned, so she must be a useful person.

"If it's a mission, I understand."

Ling nodded and calmly accepted Su Mo's request.

In fact, she didn't know that Su Mo was just asking her to accept Xia Mi's kindness in a roundabout way, but now she could only accept it in this way.

Seeing Zero who had rejected him just now, he changed his mind so quickly.

Xia Mi was not angry, but his eyes lit up.

"Mother Zero, please be my pillow tonight. Don't refuse! This is also a mission!"

She immediately followed suit and ordered.

"...You are not my employer."

Rei looked at her like she was an idiot. Of course she wouldn't listen to Xia Mi's orders.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi immediately looked at Su Mo.

"Su Mo, tell me, let Ling's mother be my pillow!"

She is still very good at changing her thoughts. If she can't order Mother Ling, why can't she order you Su Mo?

However, she obviously forgot one thing - she really couldn't order Su Mo.

"I refuse! Why didn't you say you want me to be a pillow?"

Su Mo glanced at the whimsical Xia Mi speechlessly. If he agreed to this, Ling might run away with the train on his shoulders overnight.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes lit up.

"That's not impossible, it's best to have two together!"

"Have your spring and autumn daydreams!"

Su Mo hit her hard on the head and ended the topic.

·

For this reason mentioned before, Xia Mi and Zero took leave together and began to teach Qi Guquan.

At the same time, Su Mo has been soaking in the basement, studying alchemy and improving his level of speaking spirit.

Although Norton agreed to his request and agreed to help him find a way to separate the Dragon King's consciousness and authority, Su Mo could not place all his hopes on him.

While improving his alchemy and learning [Spiritual Recasting], Su Mo was also focusing on improving his own exclusive speech spirit, hoping that this speech spirit would be able to play a role after being promoted.

In a blink of an eye, it was three days.

Three days later, in the basement.

"Can you actually make something alive in this way? It feels like the strength of the field is indeed much stronger!"

While experimenting with the tips he got from Norton, Su Mo sighed and said this to the soul in the mask.

On the workbench in front of Su Mo, lying quietly was a bronze mask with red lines. It was Constantine's mask.

Su Mo was actually able to communicate with the soul inside the mask without using the Constantine mask.

This is naturally not because he has learned how to transmit sounds across the air, but because the soul he communicates with is another King of Bronze and Fire - Norton!

I don’t know if Lu Mingze made extra backup masks in advance, or if he made the masks very quickly.

The day after Norton was handed over to him, Mai Shutoku's express delivery sent a second mask - this was Norton's mask.

This is also a bronze mask, but the red lines are a little different.

With the help of this mask, Su Mo can directly use Norton's authority and communicate with him remotely.

Although Constantine has stronger authority than Norton and is more powerful in battle, Norton's knowledge reserve is more useful when studying alchemy.

Constantine learned [Spiritual Recasting] under Norton's strict teachings, but he could only learn it. The skill level had just reached LV6, and the accumulated experience points were not even one thousand.

But Norton is different. Norton's [Spiritual Recasting] has not only reached LV6, but also has more than 8,000 experience points, which is not far behind the promotion.

Both are LV6, and the gap between the two sides is immeasurable.

After comparing the two, Su Mo immediately abandoned the useless Constantine and replaced him with Tutor Norton.

Norton's personality was much more irritable than Constantine's, so Su Mo also squeezed alchemy-related knowledge from Norton while resisting the pressure.

"Of course, whose alchemy do you think you are learning?"

Hearing Su Mo's praise, Norton said proudly.

As a technical geek, I naturally have my own self-confidence.

"As expected of the second generation alchemist!"

Su Mo also didn't hesitate to praise, and then asked curiously.

"So how did Odin learn alchemy to be stronger than you, the King of Bronze and Fire? I have seen his Gungnir. It is simply not a weapon that can be mastered by the Dragon King. It is comparable to your Seven Deadly Sins Much stronger!”

While he was making fire, he was inquiring about the seven deadly sins.

Constantine was loose-spoken, but unfortunately he didn't know much.

Norton knew a lot, but he kept it secret.

Through the sharing of the mask, Su Mo can fully use Norton's authority and knowledge, but in terms of recall, it will be hindered by Norton's personal will.

Just like before, Su Mo also needed to use words to deceive the simple Constantine to get the news that the Seven Deadly Sins were half-finished. Norton also needed to use special conversation skills to be able to ask for this information.

Compared with Constantine, who is simply easy to deceive, Norton is particularly wary, and it is difficult for ordinary words to break through his psychological defense.

That's why Su Mo chose Gong Huo, taking advantage of Norton's weakness of being prone to "anger" and using provoking methods to stimulate him.

Sure enough, when Su Mo kept saying "Second" and "Odin is much stronger than you", Norton subconsciously felt a little uneasy.

"Odin? His alchemy is nothing more than special teachings from his father, and he is able to reach this point now. How can he be compared with me?!"

As an autodidact, Norton naturally looked down upon the behavior of Odin, a second-generation ancestor who relied on his parents to run a small business.

Even though they both have the same father.

Hearing this, Su Mo was slightly shocked.

"Your father...the Black King?!"

The person Norton will call his father is not the new Black King who was killed halfway like Lu Mingfei or Lu Mingze, but the very first Black King, the beginning of everything and the end of everything—Supreme Niederho grid.

Su Mo originally thought that Odin was just more talented in alchemy, but he didn't expect that he was actually related to Nidhogg?

"Of course, besides that supreme being, who else has this ability?"

Norton's tone was sonorous.

When he mentioned Black King Nidhogg, his tone was very serious, and he could even feel a vague sense of respect.

Even though he participated in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the betrayal of the Black King, his feelings for Nidhogg seemed to be more than simple hatred, but rather complicated.

And what Norton said was indeed correct.

Odin's alchemy is only inferior to the Black King, and there is no one else who can teach him except the Black King.

No wonder Odin has mastered so many achievements in the alchemical kingdom. With the power of the Black King, he has probably mastered all the achievements of the seven alchemical kingdoms.

With him as his teacher, if he didn't have the corresponding authority, Odin might even be able to learn [Spiritual Recasting].

According to Norton's words, he obviously did not receive such a comprehensive teaching and may have figured it out on his own.

Considering that Xia Mi's alchemy is far worse than Norton's, and even comes from a completely wild background, Black King Nidhogg's treatment of children seems to be very different.

After hearing Norton's words, Su Mo blinked and said curiously.

"Then why doesn't your father teach you? Is it because he doesn't like you?"

"..."

Norton fell silent immediately.

How could you say such cold words with a body temperature of 37 degrees?

Without waiting for Norton's answer, Su Mo pondered for a few seconds and then comforted him.

"It's okay. Your father is dead anyway. It may not be a good thing for Odin to learn more. Don't worry about it."

Norton was silent again, and for a moment he didn't know whether the other person was swearing.

Su Mo can indeed comfort people.

In fact, Su Mo's comfort was not unreasonable.

Based on Norton's words and the information revealed by Lu Mingze in the past, the reason why the Black King gave Odin a small hand was not necessarily out of favor. Instead, he might have deliberately created an enemy for himself to tie the thread of fate.

The fact that Odin, who possesses so much power, is still trapped in the dragon prophecy in every word and action is an excellent proof.

However, there were too many involved in this aspect, and it was inevitable that there would be suspicions of conspiracy theories, so Su Mo did not start it.

After waiting for a while and finding that the other party was still silent, he asked.

"Norton, why don't you speak?"
