Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Chapter 474 459. Cocoon

"Li Wuyue is the youngest child of the Black Emperor. He and Constantine were born at almost the same time, so much so that there is no record of them in the Norse mythology that originated in the Scandinavian Peninsula." Lu Mingze said, "Remember the first-generation embryo you met when you attended the auction held by North American hybrids in Chicago? She was once a pure human, not even a hybrid. She followed Xiang Yu, the King of Sky and Wind, and was eventually given a powerful bloodline that allowed her to always be by the king's side. She was the first person in history to truly walk the path to becoming a god."

During the decisive battle between Chu and Han, Yu Ji was forcibly sealed by Xiang Yu, who felt that he was in a desperate situation at the time. She continued to revive and transform in later generations until she was awakened in the late Qing Dynasty. She smelled a scent similar to that of Xiang Yu in the palace of the Qing emperor. That scent was Li Wu Yue, who was sealed in a coffin in the late Tang Dynasty.

Later, someone promised that as long as Yu Ji escorted Li Wu Yue to Hamburg, Germany, the holy empire that Xiang Yu intended to build could be recreated, and thus the Summer Mourning incident broke out in the early twentieth century.

In the disaster that caused the breakdown of the backbone of the Secret Party and led to the annihilation of the Lionheart Society, Yu Ji, who woke up from her slumber, did not understand that the world had developed into something she was unaware of. The power she displayed was far inferior to that of other princes faced by the Secret Party at the time, and she might not even be able to match some powerful third-generation species.

Lu Mingfei's first impression of the female dragon was the powerful and stern girl that Angé had mentioned to him when he described Summer Mourning.

The encounter in Chicago made Lu Mingfei break into the dream created by Yu Ji. She was graceful, quiet and dignified, not like an old man who had been pursuing someone in the world for a thousand years.

Perhaps when Yu Ji's eggs stayed in the hands of the German Kassel family, she learned the good qualities of human beings from those Menek relatives, so she wanted to reconcile with the secret party.

"It was probably around July or August last year, when I had just arrived in Tokyo, and the academy sent back news that Yu Ji's cocoon had lost its activity... At the same time, some other major events happened, such as the laboratory responsible for studying Ye Sheng's remains was massacred by a mysterious organization, and the body was also stolen." Lu Mingfei's eyes flashed with reminiscence.

"I'm quite interested in the body, but my team can't figure out who did it. As for Yu Ji's cocoon... we have some guesses, but they're not certain."

"What guess?"

"The embryo may have suspended its life activities out of self-protection."

"How to say?"

"She has been used once, and the current situation is so turbulent that she doesn't want to be used a second time," said Lu Mingze.
"From the intelligence we have obtained, the Summer Mourning incident that occurred in 1900 was actually the victim of both the Secret Party and the Dragon Clan."

"But all this is just your speculation."

"In fact, this is not the case. The evidence is the black box that was later kept by Chu Tianjiao. The box contains the Black King's bones and blood." Lu Mingze said.

"What does the Black King's blood have to do with what we are talking about?" Lu Mingfei was unwilling to give in.

Even if he really has the ability to awaken a cocoon that has even lost its soul, it is hard to say whether Lu Mingze will still stand on the same side with him after getting the help of a Dragon King.

Moreover, the person who seriously injured Li Wuyue a hundred years ago was Menech Cassel, and the person who killed him was Rasputin, the evil monk of Tsarist Russia at that time. It can be said that there is an irreconcilable blood feud between human beings and Li Wuyue.

"Of course it is related." Lu Mingze frowned, "Ange must have told you that the only one absent from the siege of the Black Emperor by the kings in ancient times was Li Wuyue, the King of Sky and Wind, because he was still loyal to the Supreme who created the Dragon Clan until 1900."

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, because Ange had indeed said that to him.

"In fact, that's not the case. His purpose for going to China is completely different from Norton and Constantine. Although he sensed the fall of Vidoflnir, he did not come to that ancient Eastern land to plunder his brother's power, but to be resurrected." Lu Mingze smiled, "He was looking for a way to resurrect Xiang Yu... Obviously he didn't find it in the end, because the Black King's bones and blood had long been lost in the dust of history."

“That is to say, after Li Wu Yue was awakened in Kassel Manor, the battle that broke out between him and the Lionheart Society at that time was not for the purpose of obtaining the Black King’s embryo and recreating the ancient Age of Gods, but like me now, for the purpose of resurrecting a Dragon King who had lost his power.” Lu Mingfei grasped the key point.

"Bingo." Lu Mingze clapped his hands. "Then do you know who handed the box to the secret party?"

"Who?"

"Crassus."

“So…” Lu Mingfei showed a pensive expression on his face, and then he immediately reacted and looked at Lu Mingze, “Who is that?”

"His last name is Gattuso." The little devil said coldly, "He was the leader of the Gattuso family at the time."

"No, no, no, this is totally wrong. If Crassus Gattuso is Odin, and Odin is Pompey Gattuso, doesn't that mean he gave birth to himself? In that case, Caesar could also be Odin?"

"Caesar is not Odin. The person who is regarded as a puppet in this generation is Percy beside Caesar, Percy Gattuso." The little devil shrugged.

"But why would he want to take the Black King's blood back a hundred years after giving it to the Secret Party?"

"Because he couldn't use it 100 years ago, but 100 years later, that thing may be very important to him." Lu Mingze sighed, "I have told you everything I know, brother. Now you have to make a choice, whether to help me or continue to abide by your damn doctrine instilled by that old bastard Ange."

“But how can I be sure that after your pet returns from hell, what it wants to do is to take revenge on Odin, instead of using its world-destroying words to turn Kassel Academy upside down?” Lu Mingfei said softly.

Lu Mingze picked up the cup again with embarrassment. "Now it is the 21st century with developed human rights. I can't control what he thinks," he said.

"Aren't you dragons? Why do you care about human rights?"

"Humans have human rights, dragons have dragon rights, okay? Who would do the work for you without getting paid? Do you think it's still like ten thousand years ago when you could just shout and a bunch of stupid giant lizards would follow you to sweep the world?" Lu Mingze snorted twice, "Come on? The flowers are so beautiful that they are dazzling. Humans are learning from dragons, and dragons are also learning from humans. Even if the four monarchs all recover and rule the world again, it is impossible to return to feudal society or slave society."

Lu Mingfei stared at Lu Mingze.

"You glare at me but I can't do anything. Besides, Kassel Academy is looking for you everywhere. Maybe your former classmates are all sharpening their knives to take your head and claim the reward. What are you still thinking about them now? If it were me, I can't wait for Li Wuyue to use the world-destroying words to bomb Chicago. Before that, the hill where the academy is located has been completely flattened by the US Department of Defense using medium-range ballistic missiles."

"That's you, not me, and I don't have the ability to get involved with the Ministry of National Defense." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.

The little devil crossed his arms and said, "Brother, if you really want to bomb Kassel College with missiles, you don't have to do it yourself. Just tell me and I'll call the Ministry of National Defense right away."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, do you really have to fight for this slot?"

"I see that you have a lot of complaints, and I really don't want to offend you." Lu Mingze said.

After the quarrel, both of them fell silent at the same time. "Is it true that if we don't wake up Li Wu Yue, there is no way to solve the problem Sister Mai is facing now?" Lu Mingfei asked after a moment.

The little devil nodded. "She is too poisoned. We need Li Wuyue's fetal blood to save her." He said, "If I had any other ideas, I wouldn't beg you."

"The most capable assistant you mentioned just now, are you referring to Sister Mai or that dragon?" Lu Mingfei asked again.

Unexpectedly, such a simple question made Lu Mingze silent.

He sighed. "I don't want to lie to you," he said.

"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded. "I can help you revive Li Wuyue, but it won't be without cost. I want you to help me kill Odin."

"The deal is done." Lu Mingze nodded, "This is fair." Lu Mingze smiled. The next second he was blown away by the wind like ashes, the fog in the cold storage resumed flowing, and the coffee table with the bone china cup collapsed and disappeared like ashes.

Ling and Su Enxi, who had just stood beside Lu Mingfei like sculptures, became vivid again. The black bayonet in the princess's hand was still pointing in the direction where Lu Mingze had just stood.

"You actually carry a weapon with you." Lu Mingfei looked at Ling in shock.

The little girl looked around coldly, but she didn't put away the bayonet in her hand. She glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked, "What is it?"

What she asked was why Lu Mingfei's behavior just now was so strange and so sudden. She thought that there must be some enemy who appeared in this narrow space, and the enemy was still lurking in the surrounding fog.

Lu Mingfei sighed: "You really can't see it?"

"What did you see? Don't scare me, little white rabbit. How can I see a ghost in broad daylight?" Su Enxi said tremblingly, "Namo Amitabha, the Supreme Infinite Heavenly Venerable, may Allah bless Avada Kedavra, Amen."

Ling and Lu Mingfei were both stunned.

"You actually believe in religion." Zero said.

"You're still watching Harry Potter." Lu Mingfei said.

"The point is not whether the movies I usually watch are Harry Potter or Spiderman, but your reaction just now was fucking weird, you know?" Su Enxi yelled in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei sighed: "Your boss just came here."

Ling opened her beautiful eyes wide, and the bayonet turned over in her hand like a nimble butterfly, disappearing as soon as her hand turned.

Su Enxi showed an expression of "I see" on her face and patted her chest gently.

"You guys are pretending to be so serious, as if you were relieved when you heard me say that the person who just appeared here is your boss." Lu Mingfei smiled. He didn't continue speaking. He just came to the quartz glass that completely covered Jiude Mai and looked inside through the transparent substance.

"Sister Mai brought back a dragon egg from the Abyss, right? Bring it to me. Only that thing can save her." He said softly.

Another metal airtight door at the end of the cold storage opened silently, and a silver cart walked out of the fog playing a strange melody, then stopped quietly in front of Lu Mingfei.

The black box lay quietly on it.

Su Enxi's expression changed. She took out three masks from her arms, put one on herself, and then handed one to Lu Mingfei and Ling each.

"The boss said that its soul is dead, and only the devil-like body is alive. In order to restrain the devil, he filled this box with mercury vapor." Su Enxi said, "Given your bloodline, this little mercury vapor should not be a big deal to you, but it is highly poisonous after all."

Lu Mingfei nodded, put on the mask, looked at Ling, and then opened the box.

White low-temperature steam and mercury vapor rolled out together. The box was filled with liquid nitrogen at minus 200 degrees Celsius, and a thermos-like transparent object was submerged in the liquid nitrogen.

Heartbeats as intensive as drumbeats sounded from beside Ling and Su Enxi. The moment Lu Mingfei saw that thing, he activated his second blood burst, and at the same time the dragon bone state covered his entire body.

Just a manic and out-of-control embryo brought him such an incomparable sense of oppression. It was hard to imagine what this thing would look like after it really hatched.

The claws covered with iron-blue scales reached into the thick mist of liquid nitrogen, and the scales on the surface of the claws opened and closed one by one with a crisp roar.

Then Lu Mingfei took out the entire container immersed in liquid nitrogen.

He used his fingertips to wipe away the white frost on the surface of the container, and what appeared before him were the dense blood vessels covering the entire inner wall of the container.

It is alive, and every blood vessel is beating regularly to a certain melody.

"We've tried everything, but nothing can make it hatch back into a complete embryo," Su Enxi said. "It's like a tumor that has been separated from its host. It will only grow bigger and bigger without differentiating into other cell tissues... Its body is full of the ancient dragon serum that the long legs took in. It's highly toxic and effective, but we can't find any other way to use it."

"You actually want to use a god?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyes and glanced at Su Enxi.

"What god? In front of the iron fist of materialism, he can only stay in the night nitrogen obediently." Su Enxi snorted.

Lu Mingfei cast a strange look at Ling, and Ling noticed the look this man gave him.

"The boss didn't tell us what it is," she said, "but I guess it's the dragon corpse that Herzog took away from Siberia."

"This is a first-generation species." Lu Mingfei said, throwing the container back into the liquid nitrogen. "It was this guy who killed the first generation of the Lionheart Society with Menek Cassel as the core. Only the golden holy juice he re-hatched can save Sister Mai..."

"But there is no way he can hatch again." said Su Enxi.

"That's why your boss had to ask me to come here." Lu Mingfei knocked on the quartz glass. "Okay girls, give me some private space, okay? Let me give this thing some motivation so that it can live again."
