Lu Mingfei: The Return of King Eldon

Chapter 140

After that, the records became more and more sparse.

The duke is getting older.First of all, the wings can no longer vibrate. Even if it is supplemented by alchemy machinery, the Duke can no longer drive the aging dragon wings.

"If the way of cocooning is ruled out, if we want the Duke to restore his ability to fly, I'm afraid we can only wait for him to be made into a mechanical corpse after his death." Pauls said sadly.However, the other three or four generations are more concerned about when the Duke will fall and hand over his bones and blood to them?

But life in the Nibelungen does not have the concept of normal old age and death. Looking at the eagerness of other "officials", Myers even suspected that there might be some dragons who had already started planning the Duke's death.

So Myers began to build his own weapons.Although he didn't have the ability of the third generation, Myers still applied the mechanical technology to his compatriots after several years of testing.It takes several years to manufacture a mechanical corpse guard alone, and it takes more than ten years to gradually perfect a mechanical corpse guard.

In fact, with his level of alchemy, the combat power of the mechanical corpse guard he made can barely beat the third-generation species, and he can't beat the third-generation verb spirit one-on-one.But Myers still spent a lot of time building them, making them the last shield around the Duke.

The duke was too old to understand those machines, yet the old duke was still very affectionate to Myers when he was by his side.The Duke didn't say anything, but Myers could feel that, facing the group of court bureaucrats who couldn't wait for the Duke to die, the Duke had more trust in himself, a weak craftsman.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei sighed lightly.

"I'm sure, this Quaker must have regarded Myers as a thorn in his side for many years." Lu Mingfei said.

"That's right. Although Myers has a few mechanical corpse guards, if there is a head-on confrontation, he has no hope of defeating Quek, right? There is a big gap in strength between the third generation and the fourth generation." Old Tang Some sighed, "The Duke is already old enough to die, yet Myers has been in a stalemate with Quaker for so many years."

"Fortunately, Quake is dead." Lu Mingfei said lightly, "What's written in the back?"

"It's nothing." Old Tang shook his head. "It said that during the days when the Duke was so old that his memory began to blur, the Duke repeated the name of Samson over and over again. But after another one or two hundred years, he didn't even remember Samson."

"Didn't Samson... quarrel with him a lot?"

"The days when he was able to quarrel with Samson were the most splendid days in his life, right?" Old Tang let go of his hand, he couldn't bear to look at the stele any more. "At that time, Constantine and I were still there. He could study mechanics, travel around, and see the outside world everywhere."

He was a little speechless.what happened?Constantine died, and so did Samson.Only the old prince has lived up to now alone, and his only child has died.

He was a little afraid to imagine the age when Ottoferson was in high spirits.

At that time, the Duke could still travel on the European continent and visit the snow-capped mountains and lakes in Europe.Perhaps there were traces of the duke's visit in a human hotel 2000 years ago.
Speaking of which, he is really a stubborn duke. Even his eyeballs are rotten and his hearing is completely lost. When he was in the trial hall just now, he could still recognize the Norton breath on his body. Old Tang scratched his hair, and the road Mingfei could see his mood.

"Old road." Old Tang said hesitantly.

"Ah."

"I want to go see that duke." Old Tang raised his head, "Can you come with me? I might...maybe I have something to tell you."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head slightly, and within a second, he roughly guessed what Old Tang was going to do.

After going through so many things, he and Old Tang have gradually begun to form a tacit understanding.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei didn't say much.Just nod.

Under the call of Myers, the five generations of dragons who participated in the ceremony had left one after another.

It didn't take long for Old Tang to find the dragon cemetery of the Gray Copper Throne.Lu Mingfei followed Old Tang quietly without saying a word.

"As expected, Myers has been by the Duke's side all the time." Old Tang raised his head and saw the two mechanical corpse guards stationed at the door and high above.

Myers was guarding the entrance to the cemetery.When he saw Old Tang slowly approaching, the fourth-generation craftsman hurriedly lowered his head and touched the ground: "Your Majesty!"

"You didn't tell the other dragons about my return, did you?" Old Tang said flatly. "Get up."

"As His Majesty instructed, I did not tell anyone, including His Excellency the Duke." Myers raised his head, his eyes fluctuating. "But why didn't you tell His Excellency the Duke? Duke Ottofersen, he, he"

"I know." Old Tang looked straight ahead with a very calm tone. "He waited for me for two thousand and six years."

Myers lowered his eyes and stopped talking.Old Tang and Lu Mingfei looked at each other, and Lu Mingfei nodded steadily.

Go for it, do whatever you want.

I'll just stand behind you, just like today.

Old Tang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Afterwards, he exhaled slowly, as if saying goodbye to his past life.

Between exhalation and inhalation, the loose aura of laughing and joking around him converged and disappeared without a trace.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils were as firm and shining as metal.

"My return, I will tell Ottofersen myself." Old Tang lit his golden pupils, but it was no longer to release Longwei.Myers froze for a moment, then quickly lowered his head.Not being suppressed by Longwei, but subconsciously feeling a certain feeling——

The one in front of him is the Ash Fire Prince, the King of Bronze and Fire who only exists in history and legends.

Two thousand and six years have passed, Your Excellency, the Duke finally waited for the day to let go of the burden.

With a wave of Myers' dragon claw, the mechanical corpse guard immediately ejected high-temperature steam and flew behind Old Tang to wait.

Old Tang stepped forward, slowly at first, but as he walked forward step by step, his eyes became more determined, and his steps became more steady.Lu Mingfei lowered the brim of his hat, and walked to the aging Duke with Old Tang.

The Duke lay on his stomach in front of his youngest son's tombstone, motionless like a dead centipede.

However, as Old Tang approached, the Duke turned his head blankly, revealing his dark eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Sensing Old Tang's aura, the Duke was stunned for a moment, and then actually smiled.

"It's me." Old Tang walked up to the Duke's withered face, he opened his arms, and slowly hugged the decayed body like a mummy. "I'm back, Ottoferson, I'm back, I'm Norton."

"Your Majesty?" The Duke smiled, two lines of cloudy liquid flowed down from the hollow eye sockets on his mummy-like face. "Your Majesty, I seem to have had a very long dream. I dreamed that I was getting old."

　The last line is adapted from the work "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George Martin (the author of the world view of the old ring).In order to try to improve the expressiveness of the role of the old Duke, the author spent a week and made certain references to the works of George Martin.Of course, the character design, plot and story line are all my own.
