Starting from the Dragon Tribe

"If He had appeared, this place would have been in ruins by now."

Lu Chen replied that he was not saying that the Nibelungs would be destroyed by Odin, but that the aftermath of his battle with Odin would be enough to raze the place to the ground.

"In addition to Odin, did Senior Brother Lu...see anything else?"

Xia Mi asked.

Lu Chen thought carefully and felt that there was nothing missing. He asked, "Junior sister saw Odin?"

Xia Mi nodded, looking frightened, "I saw Odin riding a horse here, but as soon as I screamed, he disappeared."

Lu Chen looked at Chu Zihang, who shook his head, "I didn't see it, but junior sister must have seen something at that time."

"He didn't leave any traces? Could it be a ghost?"

Lu Chen remembered that last time at the viaduct, Odin was just a shadow.

"It's possible because He left no trace after disappearing."

Xia Mi thought for a while and added: "But the strange thing is that I heard the sound at that time, but Senior Brother Chu didn't hear it."

Chu Zihang pondered for a moment and gave an opinion, "Could it be some kind of spiritual spirit that caused junior sister to hallucinate, similar to a dream tapir?"

Lu Chen sat on the bed, picked up a piece of bread and gnawed on it, "I don't know if there is such a spirit of speech, but even if there is, why did that person use it on junior sister and let junior sister see Odin?"

He glanced at Xia Mi, making Xia Mi feel a little guilty.

"Maybe...does that person know that we are looking for Odin?"

Xia Mi reluctantly reasoned.

"It should also be to 'scare' me, and if the illusion is not lethal, the other party's behavior will have no meaning."

Lu Chen frowned slightly, confused.

"Brother, do you think there is something wrong with the Nibelung itself? Is it likely to cause hallucinations?"

Xia Mi guessed.

She really guessed that even she couldn't fully judge the mystery here at this stage, unless she could figure out who the "owner" of this Nibelung was.

"The Nibelungs that cause hallucinations? Brother Lu and I didn't see anything, or do we have to meet certain conditions to have hallucinations?"

Chu Zihang analyzed.

Seeing that Chu Zihang and Xia Mi couldn't come up with a well-founded conclusion, Lu Chen said, "Put this aside for now. Let me talk about what I saw today."

Lu Lincheng said that the underground mercury pool was the top secret of the doomsday sect, and asked him not to spread it to outsiders, but since they are all his own people here, it doesn't count as a rumor, right?

There were some things that he couldn't be sure about himself. He needed to discuss it with Brother Chu, and maybe he could also deduce the circumstances of the strange thing Xia Mi saw today.

In the next ten minutes, Lu Chen briefly described to the two of them what he saw underground, including what Lu Lincheng said to him.

After listening, Chu Zihang was the first to question, "There is something wrong with what Uncle Lu said."

He stretched out a finger and said, "First of all, we can confirm that the principal does not know the existence of Gangnir at all. This gun was never kept by the secret party."

As the representative of the secret party, the principal may not necessarily have the greatest overall power, but he definitely knows the most.

If the secret party had such a collection, he would definitely know about it, even if it was secretly hidden by a school director before.

But for such a serious task as slaying a dragon, the secret party dispatched so many elites, and finally used Gangnir, the principal would definitely know of its existence.

Chu Zihang continued: "Secondly, our college has never recorded such a major dragon-slaying incident. Just like Brother Lu, after you killed the Dragon King, the college would always publicize it internally. If the secret party really captured a There is no reason for a Dragon King-level target to be so silent."

Lu Chen took a sip of tea and said, "I also think this is strange. If I have such an experience, the principal will tell me about it before I slay the dragon and pass on the experience as a reference."

Just like the headmaster once told him about what happened at Cassel Manor, Angers was not one to be stingy with information for capable students.

Xia Mi yawned as she listened. Only when Chu Zihang glanced at her occasionally did she sit upright, looking like she admired her senior brother.

"Third, and the most suspicious point, Brother Lu, you said that Uncle Lu's narrative clearly stated that the user of Rhine was a member of the Secret Party, right?"

Chu Zihang confirmed.

Lu Chen nodded, "He did say that."

"The principal told Brother Lu about the first president of the Lion Heart Club. Principal Laing Yanling is still very sensitive, but the principal never mentioned that person. Not only that, on the way here, my father recounted his story when he was young. Well, I also asked the Secret Party what ridiculously powerful hybrids they have produced over the years, and my father mentioned a few of them, including himself, but none of them are Rhine."

Chu Zihang didn't think his father would lie to him, "Of course, this can also be explained by the fact that the principal felt it was unnecessary to say it, and my father didn't know that person, but there is another point, which is the absolute loophole in his words."

Chu Zihang's eyes were professional, "Just like the Tunguska explosion cannot be covered up, if that person's Rhine really destroyed hundreds of square kilometers of forest, the secret party will not be able to wash it away."

"And there is no record related to that explosion, either within the secret party or in the world, and there is no record from Dad either."

Chu Zihang was talking about his father's cabin, which recorded various major events in history, including the shooting down of a Black Swan Harbor fighter jet, but there was no record of subsequent fighting near the railway.

"Maybe that person doesn't exist, or is everything Uncle Lu said made up?"

Lu Chen thought that he had also seen Chu Tianjiao's cabin. Chu Tianjiao had obtained the top secret information about Black Swan Port, so there was no reason why he should not know anything about the follow-up.

"The fact is that the boy was indeed captured, but the process is probably thousands of miles away from the real situation. If nothing else, Brother Lu, you just complained about it. Uncle Lu shouldn't be able to hold Gangnir at all."

Chu Zihang felt that Lu Lincheng was not telling the truth. Maybe the boy did take the girl south along the railway, but the capture process was definitely not like that.

"I also find it a bit funny. To say the least, if that boy is really a Dragon King-level thing and can only destroy hundreds of square kilometers of Rhine, it would be unrealistic to blow him up and lose his ability to move."

Lu Chen laughed and said, this is the most ridiculous part for him.

Assuming that the boy is a Dragon King-level creature, it doesn't matter whether he is the "illegitimate son" of the Black King or a god who survived Ragnarok.

He should have the power over the elements. Although it is impossible to cancel Rhine and Wan like Constantine, he can definitely weaken the elemental spirit to a bearable strength.

Such a creature would be unable to move after being blasted by Rhine? Or is Rhine so weak?

Yes, according to the description of Lulin City, Rhine is very weak, hundreds of kilometers away. Considering that there is a boy blocking one direction, the blast radius is only about eight or nine kilometers, which is not half the distance of Menike's release. .

The center radius of the Tunguska explosion was as long as 27 kilometers!

But according to the principal, Menike's opponent was a first-generation species with a human body and was extremely weak.

According to Lu Lincheng's account, the boy was not injured at all, and even Gangnir couldn't kill him. It would be a joke for a word spirit of this level to beat him to the point of losing his mobility.

"Yes, I have used Rhine once, which is slightly smaller than that, and I could only barely kill the next generation. I still need to practice."

Chu Zihang himself has the most say, he has used Rhine.

Because he is a mixed-blood monarch, this word spirit is much more controllable for him. To a certain extent, he can control the power of the explosion to spread in a certain direction. Otherwise, even if Xia Mi saves him, he will not be able to survive. Gotta come down.

At that time, the impact of the explosion spread on the ice sheet for nearly seven kilometers to the north and nearly half a kilometer in the opposite direction. So now that he thought about it carefully, he wondered how Xia Mi managed to escape with him.

The Wind King's Eye rides on the blast wind, can it be that fast?

"Reluctantly? Do you still continue to exercise? Senior brother, do you feel very sorry? Do you want to take the time to do it again more vigorously?"

Xia Mi bared his little tiger teeth and said, "Next time you mess up again, I won't save you."

Chu Zihang looked embarrassed for a moment, "I'm talking about Jun Yan, Lai Yin won't use it anymore."

He silently added another one in his heart, not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

In his daily life, he will continue to refine his bloodline until he can afford to fully control this ultra-high-risk word spirit.

"Duplicity."

Xia Mi exposed Chu Zihang immediately.

"Okay, okay, Brother Chu, listen to me, Lain, don't use it anymore. It's useless to fight the Dragon King. Instead, it will easily blow up your own people."

Lu Chen tried to persuade him, saying that Rhine's speech spirit was not practical at all. He didn't even have to think about attacking Odin. The opponent would definitely be able to dodge or cancel it.

When the time comes, once Rhine goes down, Odin will be fine, but his teammates will be gone.

Not to mention the rest of the Sky and Wind King. The explosion shock wave with barely the speed of sound can only follow the other party to eat dust. Even at extremely close range, the Wind King can definitely react.

Xia Mi stopped 'reprimanding' Chu Zihang and returned to the topic, "So Lu Mingfei's father has been lying? I think, why don't you, Senior Brother Lu, just go and pull out the gun at night and have a look?"

"He is not necessarily lying. I have carefully observed his expression, eyes, and tone. I can even feel his heartbeat at close range. What he said should be true, at least in his memory. real."

This was what confused Lu Chen the most. When Lu Lincheng recounted the memories of that battle, he was obviously very emotionally involved, as if every time he thought about it, he felt lingering fear and a hint of happiness.

If that was also acting, he would admire Lu Lincheng a little.

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds, "... Judging from the current situation, the Doomsday Sect did build this Nibelung with that boy, so he is a Dragon King-level existence, so it should be correct, and then combine us With the conclusion just made, the problem arises..."

He paused, "...Who captured Him? Stung Gangnir into His heart?"

Chu Zihang's words woke up the dreamer, and Xia Mi couldn't help but shudder.

If Lulincheng didn't lie, where did his false memories come from?

Gangnir was not preserved by the Cabal, nor was it a stockpile of the Doomsday Sect.

So where did this gun come from? And who has the ability to crucify a Dragon King?

The answer is self-evident...

King of the Gods... Odin!

It was Odin who took action himself and crucified that boy!

It wasn't them who found this Nibelungen, it wasn't they who were hunting down Odin, it wasn't they who were fishing with Gungnir.

The ones who took the bait... were themselves!

"Haha, interesting."

Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, breaking the serious atmosphere in the room.

He couldn't understand Odin more and more. The god-king's skills were far more amazing than they thought, and his various plans were also unpredictable.

If Chu Zihang's analysis and speculation are correct, then Chu Tianjiao is completely the bait to lure them back to the North Pole. Odin definitely knows the exact location of the Nibelungs and knows how to enter.

Rather, the construction of this Nibelungen may have been driven by Him.

Lu Chen looked at Regicide lying at his feet, "I just want to know when he will come out. This time, he shouldn't run away, right?"

While talking, he took on a hidden mission in the space system. He now felt that he could take a gamble and kill Odin within a month.

Since the other party lured them here, and it shouldn't be difficult to leave this Nibelungen, they definitely have a special purpose and won't hide it forever.

"Brother, please talk, I have to go back to sleep, otherwise Zero will have objections."

Natsumi got up and stretched her body, Zero's schedule was relatively regular, and Eriki was probably still secretly playing games in bed at this time.

She was just afraid that it would be late to go back, and in other ways, Eriyi would also have objections.

Neither of them wanted to stay, and they had other things to say, so Xia Mi left voluntarily.

"Could Odin be in the Nibelungs already?"

Chu Zihang analyzed that he originally thought that what Xia Mi saw was an illusion, but after listening to Brother Lu's narration, he suddenly felt that it was not surprising that Odin was here.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for the reply from the committee here tomorrow. There are some things that I won't be able to judge until their decision comes out."

Seeing that Chu Zihang was puzzled, he got up and walked to the bathroom, "Let's go to bed today. We'll talk about it tomorrow when everyone gets together for a meeting."

After turning off the lights, the night was so thick. Lu Chen slept beside the window, leaning sideways, but did not fall asleep.

He doesn't feel sleepy, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a day.

About midnight, he suddenly saw a golden light shining outside the window, the sound of thunderous horse hooves, and the majestic figure of the god descending, holding a mythical spear, as if charging towards him.

Lu Chen suddenly turned over and reached out to Regicide beside the bed, but when he held Regicide in his hand, he paused.

Because all the visions just now disappeared, is there any shadow of Odin outside the window?

"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

Chu Zihang was awakened by Lu Chen's movements and thought it was an enemy attack.

"Brother Chu, didn't you hear anything just now?"

Lu Chen said doubtfully.

In fact, Chu Zihang was not asleep yet and was in a state of vigilance. "Besides the sound of the wind, there seemed to be no other sounds. I only woke up when I heard the sound of Brother Lu turning over to get the knife."

Lu Chen held Regicide in his hand and sat on the bedside, thoughtfully.

"Brother Lu also saw Odin just now?"

Being interrupted like this by Lu Chen, Chu Zihang couldn't sleep either.

"I saw Him riding an eight-legged horse outside the window, holding Gangnir and running toward me. The sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder."

Lu Chen recalled what he had just seen.

"It's exactly the same as what Junior Sister Xia Mi saw, but I didn't hear the sound."

Chu Zihang frowned slightly. Was there something wrong with him, or was something wrong with Brother Lu and Xia Mi?

Lu Chen sat on the bed, opened the origin space, and looked at his personal status panel. He felt that one of his conjectures might be true.

His life source and soul source are all at full value, which means that his personal condition is good.

But behind the status bar, there is an annotation.

[Status: between virtual and real]

Note (only for novices in the trial world): Whoever wakes up from the big dream first.

The annotations are a bit vague, and I don’t know why the space is still so docile, but it still gives Lu Chen some reference.

He planned to meet Lu Mingfei tomorrow and ask him again, maybe he could get the answer.

…………

Outside the abandoned church, crows screamed shrilly on the dry branches, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.

As Lu Mingfei walked across the path, a crow flew over his head, carrying a few dead leaves with him.

He walked into the church and passed through door after door, like an endless aisle.

In the deepest part of the church, he saw a pale boy nailed to a cross with a golden lance, shaped like the suffering Jesus. He seemed to be dead and sleeping for a thousand years.

But when Lu Mingfei walked to the foot of the cross and stood still, the boy opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Brother, you finally came to save me."

He finally remembered the other person's name, it was his younger brother, Lu Mingze.

For some reason, he suddenly felt so heartbroken that it was hard to breathe. He wanted to howl, but couldn't breathe.

"No, no, no, no!"

A voice kept coming from the sky, bringing him back to reality.

"call--"

Lu Mingfei gasped for air. When he woke up, he realized that he couldn't breathe because the pillow was pressed on his chest, and the gun and Kodachi were pressed on the pillow. He hugged these things extremely hard, and his chest was compressed.

As for the person who woke him up, it was his father.

He came back to consciousness slightly, sat up straight, and looked out the window. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep again, and slept until dawn.

"What, are you having a nightmare?"

Lu Lincheng sat next to him and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

Lu Mingfei picked up a cup of cold tea on the table and took a sip, "I had a somewhat familiar dream."

He turned to look at Lu Lincheng, "Did Dad come back in the morning?"

The stubble on Lu Lincheng's face seemed to be longer, and he looked a bit tired from the vicissitudes of life. He had obviously not slept all night, "Hey - it's not the old guys from the committee. There are many things. I am doing this just to make you, Senior Brother Lu, Are you satisfied early?"

"Senior Brother Lu is doing it for the good of this place. It will be dangerous for Gangnir to stay here."

Lu Mingfei mentioned to Lu Chen that he mainly didn't want to see Odin destroy this place, and he was even more afraid that his parents would be in danger.

"Of course dad knows this, but I'm afraid that the stubborn old guys on the committee won't understand. It looks like you, Senior Brother Lu, are bound to win."

Lu Lincheng sighed again and again, and finally changed his tone and asked with concern: "Son, you just said you had a familiar dream? Do you always have the same dream?"

Lu Mingfei felt his father's concern and nodded: "It's a strange dream that I've had many times."

Lu Lincheng was a little worried, "This is not a good thing. You have done a lot of tasks in the college execution department? How are you feeling mentally?"
