Chapter 359 The Holy Grail and the Holy Relics
Lu Mingfei spent nearly a day in Herzog's storage room, studying his written materials.
In any field of research, researchers often discover new theories and achieve new breakthroughs based on the achievements of their predecessors; but Herzog seems to have dug out the secrets of the dragon race with his knowledge and strength as an ordinary person -
Even if there is a half-dead dragon for him to conduct various research.
Herzog's understanding of the dragon race and his deep mastery of genetic technology have made the secret party that has firmly controlled the secrets of the dragon race for thousands of years become clowns overnight.
If Herzog were a normal person, with such knowledge and technology, Lu Mingfei would certainly welcome him to join the battle group with both hands; but he is a heretic who regards human life as a toy.
The deadpool army he cultivated and can control is the most deadly biological weapon. Without heavy firepower, anyone facing this group of bloodthirsty demons will inevitably be slaughtered one-sidedly.
Moreover, Herzog has an ambition that ordinary people can hardly imagine -
Ascend the throne and become a new god.
The so-called new god is the new Dragon King.
In his research logs, diaries, and record files, all the knowledge and research are the preparation for his enthronement as the "new god".
Ordinary humans and hybrids, hybrids and pure-blooded dragons, pure-blooded dragons and Dragon Kings... In alchemy, the gaps between these three boundaries are more fantastic and insurmountable than the other, just like there are countless human worlds between heaven and earth;
It is hard to imagine that an ordinary human wants to overcome this impossible natural barrier with science and become a new Dragon King.
Although this sounds quite inspiring, no one can bear the consequences of Herzog really evolving into a Dragon King.
Especially his target was the White King, the Ultimate Dragon King who was only inferior to the Black King, and whose situation was the most special; the Chief Alchemist Sergeant dug out the historical data of the dragon clan about the fate of the White King from the "Great Library":
After the White King's great rebellion ended, the furious Black King nailed it to the sky-high copper pillar and threw it into the deep sea, and used the elemental power of the entire planet to command the ocean currents from the two poles to change direction and converge to that sea area, turning that sea into an extremely cold ice prison, and setting up a "place of execution" for the White King.
The Black King showed everyone the fate of the betrayers. When the royal families occupying the Eurasian continent looked to the north, they would see the sky-high copper pillar rising from the ice sea, the inky black clouds always shrouded there, and the roaring blizzards constantly reinforced the ice cage.
After six epochs of freezing, the White King's power was exhausted, so the Black King sank the White King and the copper pillar into the volcano and turned them into ashes. Then he swallowed the ashes and took back the great power he had given to the White King. After thinking that he had completely wiped out the White King and its bloodline, the Black King began to go crazy because of the strange emotions of the dragons themselves. He rushed up to the sky and crashed into the seabed in pain to vent his sadness...
When the story got to this point, Old Tang couldn't hold it anymore, and he said happily, "This Black King is just nonsense. Fortunately, Captain Lu is not like this, otherwise I would be so unlucky." There was no respect for the ancestor of the bloodline at all...
But it is certain that in the six frozen epochs, humans sneaked into the execution ground, reached a contract with the frozen White King, and took the opportunity of its resurrection away from there.
But now the White King is dead, and its dragon bone cross is stored in the Miracle City where the Emperor's will comes. No villain dares to steal it... Then what can Herzog, the heretic, do?
"Ascend to the devil"? Impossible, the Lord of Changes has not noticed this world at all, and the remaining remnant soul of the Lord of Changes cannot support it to complete this ritual.
More information was sent over, and Lu Mingfei continued to spend time reading, digging out the secrets behind the heretics, speculating on the heretics' current plans... and preparing a plan to wipe out the heretics and alien demons at once.
…
"Now the Tokyo Meteorological Agency's heavy rain warning is issued. The rainfall in the Tokyo area will further increase tonight. The rainfall in some areas is expected to reach 100 mm per hour. The rain may continue to increase in the next few days. Please reduce going out. At the same time, the Tokyo heavy rain and tidal disaster prevention plan has been launched..."
On the 14-inch small color TV in the ramen house cart, the spokesperson of the Tokyo Municipal Government looked solemn.
The heavy rain hit the shed and crackled. In this weather, basically no one would come out to eat a bowl of ramen. The old master of the stall cart was idle and worked hard to wipe the wet tables and chairs.
Suddenly, two sword-like lights pierced through the darkness of the street. A black Maybach appeared at the end of the long street, cutting through the accumulated water and driving slowly, and finally quietly stopped at the roadside.
The car door opened, and a pair of high-end custom leather shoes stepped in the rain without any care. An old man got out of the car, wearing a custom black suit and a rose-red bow tie. He didn't look like someone who would run to the ramen cart to eat ramen late at night.
"It's closed today." The ramen chef turned off the colored lights around the sign and said without looking up.
"I'm not going to pay, so you're not open for business." Angers smiled happily and sat on the chair.
"Ange, you are always such a bastard!" The ramen chef stamped his feet in anger, "And didn't you come here the night before last! Before leaving, didn't you say 'goodbye' to each other solemnly like in an art film! Don't tell me that you came here again because my ramen is delicious!"
"Bingo!" Ange snapped his fingers, "The ramen cooked by the Emperor himself, one less bowl. A bowl of bone soup ramen, plus a braised egg, thank you."
"I'm not your personal chef!"
Although Uesugi Yue cursed, he still threw himself into the soup pot helplessly.
No one could have imagined that this old man with white hair combed into a part and a black towel tied on his forehead, who looked like he had been dealing with ramen all his life, would be the supreme who once controlled the Eight Snake Families, the only and most powerful "Emperor".
"I can't help it. The heads of the eight families of Sheqi are all very busy now. If it weren't for this, I would be in the most luxurious club in Ahe now, with various idol-style beauties lighting cigarettes and pouring wine for me... So an old man like me can only drink cheap wine with you, the outdated supreme."
Anger shrugged, filled the small cup with sake and drank it one cup after another.
"It's none of my business. I told you very clearly the day before yesterday that I have nothing to do with the eight families of Sheqi now."
"Then the White King... must have something to do with you." Anger said faintly.
Uesugi Yue raised his head, and the white smoke from the soup pot could not cover his sharp eyes like swords: "I have said... the 'Emperor' has completely died out in 1945."
"Don't be so angry, I just come to ask you to help answer some questions," Angers said, "I have known that you are the descendants of the White King for a long time, but I have never asked you for the secrets of the White King's descendants. First of all, it is useless to ask. You surrender to the secret party on the surface, but you don't really regard us as fellow travelers in your heart; secondly, the secrets of the White King's descendants are in your hands, and you will not abuse them. Although you are engaged in the underworld business, you are still the guardian of order rather than the destroyer..."
"Finally, you can slowly find out the secrets of the White King's descendants. In fact, you allowed the Japanese branch to be autonomous in recent years to let them relax their vigilance." Uesugi Yue snorted coldly, "You are a staff officer in the US Navy, and intelligence is your forte!"
"But now the White King is dead."
"He is locking me up... Wait, what did you say?" Uesugi Yue suddenly didn't react and was stunned.
"The White King is dead. I have personally visited the dragon bone cross left behind after his death. It is the most beautiful and greatest work of art in the world." Angers said lightly.
"He is dead? How is it possible! Such a great existence..." Uesugi Echi realized belatedly, "The elemental turbulence half a year ago, and the collapse of the Night Food Root... were you responsible?"
"What is the Night Food Root? I don't know." Angers calmly drank a sip of sake, "I have visited the dragon bones, but I did not participate in killing the White King. The one who killed him was my student... Well, he is indeed my student. I am semi-retired now."
"Wait wait wait... You said your student killed the White King..." Uesugi Echi looked doubtful about his life, "That was the fucking White King! The strongest dragon king only under the Black King! To be able to kill that kind of guy, did you accept which Ultraman of the Heisei generation as your student!?"
"Good shit. But I don't know the details. If you want to ask, you can ask him in person. The face is familiar, scoop it up quickly." Angers urged.
Uesugi Yue silently scooped out the ramen and put it in a bowl, then poured steaming bone soup on it, spread two thick slices of barbecued pork, put two sliced braised eggs and seaweed on it, and then held it in front of Angers with both hands:
"To celebrate the death of the White King, you will get double the barbecued pork and braised eggs."
"Are you so sure it's dead? Isn't there a possibility of resurrection?" Angers took a bite of the barbecued pork, "The current head of the Snake Eight Families is an imposter, but he is also a crazy and ambitious man. The day I came to eat noodles, he was pulled out by my students and beaten into a pulp."
"Tsk. These juniors are really nonsense." Uesugi Yue sneered disdainfully, "Also, what do you mean by your first question?"
"It means literally. My Ultraman student thinks that thanks to the fake head, things here are not over yet," Angers said, "The students are busy, and I, as a teacher, I can't just sit around and do nothing, so I came out to help collect some information. "
"I retired more than 60 years ago!"
"But before you retired, you burned down the precious historical collection of the Eight Snake Clan, so I had to come to you. You should answer my question first."
Uesugi Yue was silent for a long time, and finally walked around the car and sat down next to Angers, and poured himself a small glass of sake: "To be honest, I don't know."
"What kind of answer is this."
"I really don't know. Since you claim to have seen His dragon bones, theoretically He is indeed dead."
"Theoretically? What about not theoretically?"
"Then He may not be dead yet. After all, His elemental authority is a unique 'spirit', and the death of the body does not mean the destruction of the spirit," Uesugi Yue drank two glasses of sake, sighed, and told about the origin of the Eight Snake Clan:
"In the "Huang Jiwen" passed down by the family, when the White Emperor was imprisoned in the place of execution by the Black Emperor, a human sneaked in there, reached a contract with the White Emperor, and obtained the Holy Infant. This is a code word, referring to It is the "bone and blood" of the White Emperor. That human being therefore became the father of the Eight Sheqi families, and the White King is like the mother of the Eight Sheqi families, so we use "she" to call the White King, but it may not really be true. It’s a female, it’s contaminated humans with dragon blood.”
"The Holy Infant is divided into two parts: the Holy Grail and the Holy Skeleton. The Holy Grail refers to the blood of King Bai, and the Holy Skeleton refers to her bones given to humans by King Bai. The Holy Grail spread with the multiplication of the bloodline of the eight Sheqi families, and The holy bones that needed to be nourished with blood and flesh to wait for the White Emperor's resurrection were sealed in the 'Well of Hiding the Remains'. Later, the eight Sheqi families built a building called the 'Night Food Plain' based on this well. 'The Kingdom of Shadow - they betrayed the White King."
"Then how did one of his bones turn into 'Eight-Headed Ghidorah' when you didn't feed him? I watched the precious video of that resurrected thing at Sheqi Hachi's house. To be honest, if that thing really ran out , you’d better pray that giant leather-clad men and robots really come out of Japan to save you.”
"Then we're going to talk about the first catastrophe of the Seraki Hachi family," Uesugoshi sighed, "I think you should have heard of that Japanese myth. The father of the gods is named Izanagi, and the mother of the gods is named For Izanami. Izanami is the name of the holy skeleton. In the myth passed down by the family, Izanami is a god who hates humans. She is imprisoned on the other side of Hirazan in the underworld. If she returns to the world, she will die. She will transform into the Yamata no Orochi and devour the entire world; and the three great priests are responsible for suppressing her. Their titles are Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. This title is passed down from generation to generation. In short, each generation. Only these three people have access to the sacred remains."
"But it happened that Susano'o among the three great priests was bewitched by the power of the holy skeleton, and released it from the 'Well of Hidden Skeletons' and merged with it. Fortunately, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi could not let this happen. Once the ceremony was completed, it was interrupted in time, and the holy bones were re-sealed with part of Susanoo's flesh and blood; but even so, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi could not kill Susanoo, who had obtained part of the White King's power. , and finally they could only sink him into the Pacific Ocean together with the ancient city named 'Takamagahara'. Although Japan greatly delayed its sinking fate, only a few of the strongest blood descendants survived, and their bloodline gradually deteriorated and eventually became. The current descendant of the White King.”
"I feel it would be safer to sink the sacred remains into the Pacific Ocean together with Susano'o." Angers commented.
"But after the fusion of these two things is completed, Japan will be the one to sink into the Pacific Ocean! Don't stand and talk without feeling pain in your back!" Uesugi scolded.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Please go on."
"Due to the degradation of their bloodline, hybrids who have lost their 'spiritual' stability and whose bloodline exceeds the critical blood limit have a tendency to degenerate. These people are called 'ghosts'. After that, they escaped and established a group called 'Meng. The organization of the ghosts aims to fight against the eight Sheqi families and find a way to evolve into a pure-blooded dragon. With the degradation of bloodline and the loss of history, he was tightly controlled or captured if he did not escape at that time. The "ghosts" who come back will be exiled to what they consider to be a 'place of exile' in Yono Shikihara... However, the Eight Sheqi Family rediscovered this part of history hundreds of years ago and stopped this behavior. ”
"Oh, it turns out that King Bai was fed by you."
"...But haven't all your students killed him? Even the Night Food Plain was exploded along with it." Uesugi Koshi said, "But like I said, the White Emperor's elemental authority is a unique 'spirit' , physical death does not mean spiritual destruction.”
"So... the 'Holy Grail' that has been fused with part of the holy bones, that is, Susano'o, is a dangerous factor that may cause the White King to be resurrected?"
"Theoretically, that's the case. But now the Holy Grail has sunk into the deepest part of the Japan Trench together with Takamagahara."
"...Then I have some pretty bad news to tell you," Angers' face darkened and he took out a photo from his breast pocket and placed it in front of Uesugoshi. It was a nuclear-powered icebreaker. It was the Lenin. "Nearly twenty years ago, someone deliberately pierced an icebreaker carrying an ancient dragon embryo. They probably wanted to awaken your Susano'o through a blood sacrifice."
Uesugoshi looked pale as he looked at the photo.
"But don't worry, my extremely strong student will help us get everything done." Ange wiped away the sad look on his face and laughed, patting Uesugi's shoulder, "Eva, what Uesugi's parents said just now, trouble Please compile it into a record and send it to Captain Mingfei."
"Okay, Principal."
Uesugoshi looked around blankly, but could not find the person who made the clear female voice.
"Stop looking around, here are three more bowls of bone soup ramen, double barbecued pork and braised eggs."
"Ange, are you a pig? And my relationship with you is not good enough to treat you to four bowls of ramen for free!" Uesugoshi broke away from the solemnity of just recounting the ancient history of the family and became the ramen master again.
"You're not inviting me to eat, you're inviting a few other guests who came here with me," Ange said with a smile, "I hope you can control your emotions in a while."
