If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Ten minutes ago, Kassel Academy, ice cellar.

The glass room was filled with dense red light and alarms, and Norma kept issuing warnings of laboratory leaks, which was far more serious than the emergency that occurred with the alchemical mercury bomb in the last experiment of the Equipment Department. According to safety regulations, the interior and exterior of this temporarily built AA-level explosion-proof glass room are completely airtight. Even the indoor air is filtered by carbon filtration equipment to clean the outer layer of any metal elements that may be carried in the air...Normally speaking There are no metal elements in the air, and most of this step is to avoid the aluminum elements carried in the dust.

However, this restriction has been broken. All the researchers in the glass room were lying on the ground unconscious. They were not dead. The moment the uninvited guests opened the safety door of the glass room, these researchers who were obsessed with anatomy experiments immediately The brain was occupied by an undeniable force, driving away those monotonous and weak consciousnesses.

This is already considered a quite dangerous intrusion situation. According to safety regulations, Norma should now seal off the underground space bounded by the glass room. A ten-meter-thick alloy plate will seal off a perfectly isolated small cell. Space, the color of this area on the large map of the comprehensive experimental area of ​​​​the ice cellar will turn gray, which represents complete abandonment, and the method of abandonment is to detonate an alchemical bomb equivalent to one thousand tons of TNT in a sealed space. .

Facts have proved that after Norma detected a metal substance entering the glass room, she immediately blocked the area. However, the area on the map did not turn gray in accordance with the safety regulations, but slowly flashed with a warning red light. At this moment, the safety lock of the alchemy bomb buried deep in the glass house was stuck by a command, and it was still unable to activate the ignition. It was just one step away, just one step away.

The operating table in the glass room was lifted up and stood on the wall. The boy on it was hung with a cross, like the suffering Jesus. Blood-red alchemical nails penetrated his hands, feet, and heart. His beautiful and delicate face was sleeping. I am having a beautiful dream, a big dream that has lasted for two thousand years.

"Constantine..." The man stood in front of the bloody cross and recited his name in a low voice. The boy's uncovered chest membrane was spread out like bloody wings, as if he wanted to embrace something, but no one saw He would be afraid of that cruel scene... Will anyone really respond to his loneliness?

"I should have told you that there are no weaklings among the gods of Olympus, and the gods do not need a shrinking god-king." The man stared at the cross and said, "No matter how great the race is, Their pride will also be lost as the people in power change, their original faith will no longer exist, and the flames of war will also be extinguished."

"I once warned Norton that the boiling blood will eventually cool down. His comfortable time with you has passed too long, and the flowing and burning bronze will solidify. It will also be the statue of you in your final death. "The man whispered. His eyes were filled with light that was redder than the red light, and filled with memories that transcended years.

"There was an undercurrent of rebellion in the Presbyterian Church. Approvers, opponents, and carnival rebels stepped onto the stage amid the separation of the monarchs, venting their thoughts loudly. You felt it was noisy, so you chose to leave silently. . But look at what you have got now?" The man opened his hand and saw only the shame and blasphemy on the meat hook of the former king, but he did not have any sympathy, there was only indifference and anger that had been hidden for too long, " You evade responsibility, but the consequences will always catch up with you. This is a fate that cannot be escaped."

The boy did not answer Him because he was still sleeping. If there was no reason to wake up, he would continue sleeping like this, calling out that name in his dream, asking for the warmth of the land he had left for.

"You have slept for so long that you have forgotten why you came to this world." The man looked at him with pity and took out a quartz test tube from his arms. There was fiery red blood inside. The blood can be described as 'fiery red'. It doesn't look like blood at all. It is as dazzling as the rolling magma, emitting extreme heat that can be felt by the naked eye. The fire is so deep that one's sight and thoughts can't help but sway with it. The whirlpool has been sinking into it, and in addition to the explosion of magma, the roar of time can be heard in my ears.

The moment the quartz test tube was taken out by the man, the blood-red organs of the boy on the cross that had been dissected all over his body pulsed, but it was only an abnormal protrusion. After a moment, the alchemical nails that penetrated his hands, feet, and heart radiated. It was a charming red color, with countless ancient lines connected on his body.

Alchemy Matrix·Ten Nails Prisoner Dragon.

"Yes. Times are progressing, and so are humans. Cooled blood will become dried scabs, and corrupt systems will be ignited by the flames of revolution. Their cowardice ignores the sparks shining in the darkness, so the era of the Presbyterian Church It's over, but as monarchs, haven't you ever felt ashamed? Feel guilty and painful for the decline of the ethnic group?" The man asked the boy, his voice as cold as a bell roaring, as if he was asking more questions. That sound echoed in the ears. The existences of the vast bells, they walk in the world but dare not see Him, and they despicably make people laugh. In comparison, the boy who has been sleeping so far seems to be easier to forgive?

"Then answer me, Constantine, tell me the answer you chose." The man pressed the button on the top of the quartz test tube, and the metal injection needle hole poked out from the other side and refracted red light. Norma outside the glass room The warnings became more urgent and frequent, mixed with "discovered adrenaline-like hormones", "discovered protein synthesis hormones", and "discovered a large amount of bronze elements".

"Quiet!" The man scolded loudly, as if the thunder on the dark clouds descended into rage. The high-strength glass walls of the entire glass room trembled at this thundering scolding. Norma's alarm sound and emergency red light disappeared under this scolding. , and with the abnormal sound of current voltage reduction, darkness gradually enveloped everything.

In the dark and silent space, He raised his hand and placed it on the boy's forehead and said:

"Constantine,

Your cowardice cannot escape death,

Your cowardice cannot escape death,

Your frustration and sadness cannot escape death,

Your shrinking back cannot escape death,

So why don't you give it a try?

You should choose honor and pride,

In order to make your life an eternal song,

You must take a dangerous step,

So that you can leave your own footprints,

Deeply left on the skin of history (Excerpts from Ji Anning’s poems)”

The quartz tube that was constantly glowing in the dark was blown by the huge force and landed on the boy's neck. The hot magma, which was a hundred times more dangerous than adrenaline and synthetic stimulants, was injected into his arteries in one breath. Inside, fiery red blood began to flow under his skin, and the blood on his entire body shone brightly enough to be clearly visible, enough to see that the flames were ignited in his body, burning to every corner.

"He doesn't want to eat you, so why don't you want to eat him?" He looked at the boy in front of him and said softly, "But there are some things that you can never turn back once you try them. After all, this part of the 'right' is what he owes you. Although you have perfect 'power', it doesn't help that you lack the 'right' to truly open it. Now, it has sent it to you, even if it is only a small part. But at least, you are now complete for the time being. "

The true identity of the burning liquid in the quartz test tube also emerged with His words. It was a dangerous thing that should never appear here, nor should it enter the boy's veins. It was also something that they had been running away for two thousand years ago. A step that time never dared to take.

His Royal Highness Norton’s hard work and ultimate ‘authority’.

They merged, and the intersection of 'power' and 'power' was the ultimate moment that even in the dragon culture was enough to make those who saw it worship. It was the overlapping of the two shadows on the throne, and one hand pressed the armrest of the throne of power!

"Then, wake up." He clapped vigorously, his voice was like a bell, the whole space was shaking, it was the earth shaking, the glass room rose to an incredible high temperature, the glass began to melt, and the volcanic glass knife began to retrace its steps. In their most original appearance, the bloody alchemical matrix howled and shattered.

The 'Ten Nailed Prisoner Dragon' was used to its extreme. Guao's matrix tightly wrapped around the boy's body with the pierced heart as the center point. It could be seen with the naked eye that the pierced heart began to beat tenaciously. The magma-like fiery red blood was contracted into the ventricles, and the extreme high temperature began to melt the blood-red iron nails. When the molten iron dripped to the ground and melted into holes, the deafening heartbeat echoed in the ears again.

"elder brother."

The golden pupils of the molten fire opened, and the springs like volcanoes in the darkness began to flow again, with a little confusion and bewilderment, but clarity gradually occupied his pupils like dizzy red ink.

"Welcome back, Constantine," He said.

The cracks of the molten fire filled the glass chamber, and magma spewed out from all directions and filled the entire space. The roar of the dragon in the roaring flames drowned everything. He soared into the sky, and his body was torn and dissected in the package of lava. Expanding and deforming, the ten layers of alloy steel plates were melted by the ultimate 'power', and the huge amount of molten iron was absorbed and poured into the delicate body.

In the extreme heat, the fiery red scales and bones pierced the skin, and the human body turned into ashes in the baptism of flames. The new majestic body broke through the ground, and rushed into the sky with molten rocks. , the furious roar resounded through the sky, reaching the end of the purple sky.

Under the same sky, the dejected man walking on the railway track suddenly stopped. With his heart racing, he turned back and looked into the distance. In his blank vision, there was only the bright moon in the corner of the purple sky.

He seemed to hear someone calling him, calling him brother?

—

The rock formations on the earth that had been heated to the state of lava were brought to the top of the sky by the huge black shadow. The lava shot straight into the sky like brilliant fireworks. When it reached the highest point, the acceleration began to slow down, but gravity did not act like everyone. The same thing as imagined acted on them, a strange force held up everything that was dazzling under the sky, showing a strange stagnation, frozen in the sky.

The molten red flowing rocks stopped, suspended, and silently clustered around the majestic giant shadow, just like the rock rings surrounding Saturn. The huge black shadow stood and stopped on the sky, with large wings of flowing molten rock. It opened with all its strength, blocking the light of the moon for a while, as if it had become a new celestial body. Light and heat were cast on the lonely mountains and plains, and red light slowly trickled down the cheeks of everyone looking up to the sky.

This scene full of beauty and grandeur took everyone's breath away. They looked up at the giant image surrounded by lava and were observing oil paintings of space art, such as "Enceladus Looking at Saturn's Storm" or Van Gogh's " "Starry Sky", such magnificent waves make people want to kneel on the ground and kiss the earth to express their blessings to this shocking scene.

"Is this...the Dragon King's 'pressure'?"

In front of the Hall of Valor, on the cracked and flowing earth, among the students who had avoided the first wave of impact, Susie looked up at the new 'celestial bodies' in the sky and felt that a new realm had replaced the 'commandments' and shrouded them. Throughout the entire academy and even the mountain peaks, the majesty was like a tide of starlight washing over everyone's spirit.

"Please wake up!" Lancelot's voice roared in the crowd, and many students with excellent bloodlines took the initiative to pick up some of the limp students around them. The bloodlines of these students were generally not very good, and they were normal. He may have performed well in his mission operations, but now he is deprived of the right to even stand in front of the real king.

"All students with lower bloodline than 'A' grade are going to the shelter. Freshmen in the lower grades are given priority to evacuate. Senior students take the initiative to carry out evacuation tasks. This is not a drill, this is not a drill, this is not a drill." Norma's announcement resounded. Throughout the academy, the artificial intelligence's voice was full of coldness. The gentle female voice in the past was now speaking as if it was biting a knife's edge, full of murderous intent.

Only a small number of people know that when the alarm of the dragon invasion was really real, the artificial intelligence of the college secretary Norma was already asleep. Now the person who really wakes up and makes a series of orderly instructions is wearing Norma's skin, which is actually called 'EVA' 's war personality.

After the evacuation announcement was made, the students in the college began to evacuate in an orderly manner. At this time, the professors, who were incapable of combat and were aging, rushed out of the dormitory building and fled to the shelter with laptops containing information, and came to pick them up. The senior students looked blankly at the backs of those who were more agile and familiar with the driving than they were, not knowing what to do.

It was at this time that the entire Gushan was suddenly enveloped by a series of dense bursts of air tearing apart! The muffled sound shook everyone's feet and hearts when they touched the ground. It was deafening!

All the students with ringing ears looked horrified at the lonely mountains and forests above the mountaintop academy, which was also the source of the dense and loud noises - they saw countless trailing flames flying towards the mountain at a speed that was difficult to fix. In the sky, all military-made anti-aircraft guns began to fire in salvos. A new generation of optical aiming, a high angle of 90 degrees. All military weapons and equipment were improved by the equipment department. A single shot of an air gun can shoot down an armed aircraft.

These heavy weapons have always been hidden on this lonely mountain. Few people know about it, and there are few opportunities to see it. Now only in the thought of EVA, the war personality, all the secret weapons swept away the fallen leaves and rose in the dense forest. Under the radar's lock, he aimed at the target in the sky that was so dazzling that it didn't even require radar lock.

The college's artificial intelligence almost didn't need to think logically before it fired a volley at the resurrected king, launching Cassel College's first frontal attack on the four kings!

The fire suddenly exploded and enveloped the fiery black shadow. The violent explosion opened up rings of fire, like flames spread across the sky. The entire academy was swept by the fire and sound waves, and the sky burned. The temperature is scorching everyone's skin, and they feel the destructive power of modern military weapons. This is the progress of the human era, and it is also their powerful attack on the dragon culture.

Many students subconsciously bent over and stared with wide eyes at the scene of the power of modern military weapons, excitedly imagining the effectiveness of this round of fire coverage. However, only those who truly knew the seriousness of the matter began to independently engage in this round of EVA. At that time, preparations for the next real war began.

"Norma, find the location of the principal and Lin Nian!" Schneider growled in the central control room.

"And Lu Mingfei!" Guderian suddenly said.

Schneider turned back and stared at Guderian, took a deep breath, "And Lu Mingfei!"

There are three 'S' classes stationed in Kassel Academy. If anyone can control this out-of-control situation, it can only be them!

"Searching." A girl's voice sounded in the control room, and at the same time, a beautiful projection appeared on the console.

Manstein and Guderian were both stunned, but Schneider's expression did not change at all.

"This is."

"The college secretary's war personality 'EVA' is at your service wholeheartedly." The bright blue girl said coldly.

"War personality? Norma also has a war personality, why didn't I know?" Guderian exclaimed.

"One of you is in charge of discipline, and the other is doing nothing. You don't need to know these things at all." Schneider directly dismissed this meaningless topic.

"Perhaps you should pay more attention to the sky than me." EVA said lightly.

"Didn't we hit the target?" Guderian was also a member of the group that was excited for EVA's decisive offensive salvo. When he saw the burning sky covered with rings of fire on the big screen, the excitement on his face had not faded yet. I feel puzzled by Schneider's current nervousness.

"You don't understand." Schneider's voice was hoarse.

As a hybrid who has truly seen the first generation of ancient dragons, of course he knows how terrifying those things will be if they are truly revived. He cannot explain his fear and anger to Guderian in a short time. Or on the big screen. , the awakened king is ready to sprinkle a ball of magma as a "cooling" for everyone's expectations.

Guderian's excited face suddenly froze. He stared at the big screen, his eyes reflecting the huge flaming black shadow that still stood in the sky after the ring of fire dissipated. Countless molten metal residues were suspended in front of him. The originally lithosphere-like burning rock shattered into finer dust. It is not difficult to imagine that those anti-aircraft guns were blocked and detonated in advance when they hit him. The remaining shock wave and high temperature were simply negligible for him who controlled the power. .

He didn't even lower his head to look down at the people who were attacking his throne.

The black dragon shadow looked up at the moon in the missing corner of the black sky. The mighty wind blew across his wings and scales from a distance. The earth under the sky was already unfamiliar. The burning dragon eyes traveled through space and saw The burning city in the distance. Human beings have always been active in this world at all times, but they have changed to new settlements and put on new skins - only the sky and the bright moon have not changed, they are the same light yellow, The same muddy color, like water stains on a yellowed scroll.

At that time, they had each other. He stood behind the man in the white robe, and the same powerful wind blew through their robes and black hair. Two thousand years ago, they looked up at the moon hand in hand, and two thousand years later, this piece of But he was the only one left under the sky.

"Brother," he shouted, but no one responded. He felt loneliness penetrated into his scales like the wind, cooling the molten fire flowing in his blood vessels. He turned his head and looked in one direction. On that side, the city's buildings were like giant watchmen on fire.

He could feel that the same call was calling him over there, and the person who had been watching for a long time was waiting for him there.

The burning wings fluttered and stirred up strong winds. He turned around and faced the direction calling him. With longing and joy that he had been away from for a long time, he took a deep breath of fire and exhaled it, preparing to greet his old friend and loved one. place, stumbling and flying away.

"Where is he looking?" In the central control room, Manstein stared at the big screen and spoke with a chilling voice.

"That direction...should be Chicago?" Lin Xian said softly behind him.

"...He wants to leave! Stop him! We can't let him leave here!" Schneider and Manstein, their faces turned white, shouted at the console almost at the same time.

They did not think about the possibility of the Dragon King escaping after waking up. They even attacked first. The proud Dragon King should have shed his anger on them who rushed to the throne, but now this Dragon King actually wants to escape? !

Constantine in the sky flipped his wings, molten fire spurted out from the tips of his wings, and strong hot wind formed a spiral trajectory and appeared behind him. This image instantly reminded everyone of the pinnacle of modern technology. , that fighter that mankind is proud to dominate the sky. If he is really allowed to adjust to the power that he is not completely familiar with, what will happen after he escapes from here and rushes to Chicago where the crowd gathers?

No one can know, and no one dares to know.

On the top of the lonely mountain, a heavy shadow full of mechanical beauty quietly rose from the separated ground. The dazzling white light accumulated, and a trembling buzz sounded in the air. It was a vibration like ten thousand buzzes. Even if In the academy halfway up the mountain, many students in front of the Hall of Heroes subconsciously covered their ears and stared at the sunrise at the top of the mountain with wide eyes!

"I remember this." Guderian's eyes widened.

When Longying was about to burst out with unparalleled power and pierce the sky and leave the lonely mountain, a porcelain-white light pillar rose into the sky. It was a pillar holding the sky, and a rainbow halo spread out from the bottom... It was the beautiful sight of the plasma fluid overflowing.

No one could see the trajectory of the light beam. The moment the white light illuminated the lonely mountain and the academy, it had already concentrated directly on the belly of the dragon shadow! This time, the molten fire did not stop the penetration of the white light. All the floating lava was shattered and there was no way to escape! unstoppable!

"High-energy laser weapons, I always thought that the equipment department did not complete the last step of its research!" Even the executive director now opened his eyes wide and looked at the shocking scene on the big screen, taking a deep breath and hissing.

The heart-rending roar surpassed the roar when the white light was activated. At the moment of impact, a large amount of plasma was sprayed outward at high speed, and the recoil force stabbed the dragon shadow into the sky like a spear. Such a warrior who picks up the enemy's corpse on the battlefield to show off his strength!

In the control room, the girl's flashing blue eyes were filled with iron-blooded coldness.
