Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 111

The latter part of Angers's speech sounds like nonsense, but it is also the truth: human beings' communal living, use of external objects, and development of civilization are all just means for humans to ascend to the throne of the Earth's hegemony. They are simply following the laws of nature to survive and trying to avoid being eliminated.

However, without needing to analyze the latter half of the sentence, Lu Mingfei understood Angers's implication: a normal mixed-race force probably refers to a mixed-race organization built by humans.

Dragons can disguise themselves as humans, making it far too easy for them to infiltrate human forces. A single dragon is not invincible; even without treacherous dragons hiding among humans, human hybrids could find a way to kill a dragon. However, the enemy isn't necessarily one that appears as a dragon…

Lu Mingfei felt that this world was not so easy to save. It seemed that the difficulty of uniting all mankind was no less than that shown in the system's actual demonstration in the dream.

In comparison, killing the Four Thrones and the Black and White Emperors is indeed easier, since these enemies are tangible and can be killed directly.

Xia Mi then spoke up, saying, "Principal Angers, are you implying that... even the people within Kassel College, or the Secret Party, are unreliable? In reality, the Secret Party and Kassel College are just an amplified version of the Snake Clan?"

“I didn’t say that. You said it. Don’t spread it around. Once you’re out this door, I won’t recognize anyone.”

Angers shook his head at the little girl's words, completely unconvinced. While her statement was indeed true, this issue was a significant factor in why Lu Mingfei's parents chose a different path from Kassel College.

He said, "I can only say that contradiction exists in everything and runs through everything."

Xia Mi's opinion on the Angje nonstick pan is understandable.

After all, Angers isn't some nobody, so it doesn't matter if he's insignificant or has little influence. He's the headmaster of Kassel College, with countless followers, and a leading figure in the dragon-slaying campaign. He really can't take the blame for this; he can't be even remotely implicated.

Otherwise, if word gets out, it could damage the beliefs within Kassel College and cause internal distrust and division.

Then she turned to ask, "By the way, Principal Angers, from what you said earlier, Kassel College has a history of targeting the Dragon King?"

Angers fears that the eight families of the Serpent Clan are unfamiliar with the Dragon King or the characteristics of dragons. Instead of slaying the dragon, they have become a gift delivered to their door. This statement implies that they are very familiar with the dragon.

Xia Mi was actually very concerned about this issue, but if she asked about it directly, she was afraid that her excessive curiosity would arouse suspicion and doubt in others.

Although it's not wrong for her to bring up this question from a character standpoint, what if such a theoretical question can't withstand the test of reality...? That's why she could only ask other questions to transition the conversation.

“Well…” Angers looked at Xia Mi, who had asked the question, and then at Lu Mingfei, who was still thinking, and said, “The operation to take action against the Dragon King… this is top secret information within our Kassel College and the Secret Party.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately replied, "Let's settle the accounts."

Kassel College actually launched an operation targeting the Dragon King? The system analysis indicates that this kind of information is... priceless.

There are only a handful of Dragon Kings in the world, all of whom are the kings of the dragon race. Information about them can only be described as priceless, or even more valuable but unavailable.

Angers only spoke up after hearing Lu Mingfei's calculations: "If I were to go back in time, there are several records of the Secret Party clashing with the Dragon King in its history."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were deeply moved. Their record of fighting the Dragon King several times was truly worthy of the secret society that had existed for a thousand years, and indeed, an organization dedicated to slaying dragons!

Angers felt no qualms about revealing top-secret matters within the Secret Society, just as Lu Mingfei did about selling out the Snake Clan.

Lu Mingfei's situation is rather complicated. Through this question, Angers can confirm one thing—Lu Mingfei, who was born under S-class parents, really doesn't know much about the internal affairs of the Secret Party. His parents may not have told him about being a mixed-race person.

At least the secret party's affairs hadn't been told to Lu Mingfei, otherwise, if Lu Mingfei had gone to ask his parents, he most likely wouldn't have had to pay any price...

Angers essentially got Lu Mingfei for free... No, we can't say it like that, it's like he got her for free.

In the history of Kassel College's involvement with the Dragon King, the most recent incident in the Greenland Sea was something that Lu Mingfei's parents were unaware of. So, telling Lu Mingfei about it wouldn't be a huge loss for him.

Both the big and small foxes were getting something for nothing, obtaining (important) information simply by talking without paying any price.

But there's a problem here... Angers looked at Lu Mingfei's still somewhat immature face.

Lu Mingfei's physical examination at birth showed he was a completely ordinary person, without a single drop of dragon blood. There's definitely something wrong with that, but the fact that he managed to push Uesugi Kotsushi to his limit... that's interesting. No wonder he's a completely ordinary human born to S-rank parents; the level of strangeness matches.

He knew how strong that old bastard Uesugi was. Although Angers had taught this old bastard a lesson, you could call him a bastard, but you couldn't call him weak. His strength was extremely explosive in the world of mixed-race people. It was only because he was pampered and had almost no practical combat experience that he was beaten up by Angers.

During the recent confrontation on the road, Uesugi Koshiro was released, which probably wasn't for showing off; he was clearly driven to desperation by Lu Mingfei... For Lu Mingfei to push that bastard Uesugi Koshiro to such a point, his strength, if not unfathomable, is certainly among the top tier of combat power in the hybrid race world...

Xia Mi was also extremely interested in the battle between the Secret Party and Kassel College against the Dragon King, and she and Lu Mingfei listened attentively to Angers' words.

Ancient historical records are too far removed from the past, and Angers cannot recount the events in great detail. However, he was a firsthand witness to the events at Kassel College and in the Greenland waters in modern times.

The dragon king, now a dried-up corpse and sealed for a thousand years, was directly awakened, instantly annihilating the Kassel Manor... Sensing the killing intent of humans in the icy sea, the unknown aquatic dragon king forcibly accelerated its hatching, powerfully counterattacking and killing the elite Kassel College team...

Angers recounts these two events most clearly and with the most detailed accounts.

Xia Mi was somewhat disappointed. The information revealed was practically useless to her. It might have some weight among humans, but it was just commonplace information to the Dragon King and other dragons.

The exact name of the other party is not confirmed, nor is their recovery status... It's all useless to Xia Mi. If she were in those two time periods, she could replicate those events.

However, the fact that this information was useless to her didn't mean it was useless to Lu Mingfei. The system treasured this information—dragons develop a self-protective mental domain when they hatch, and this mental domain can also disrupt radio wave signals, etc... Furthermore, dragons can accurately detect murderous brainwaves...

Without this information, the system felt that without overwhelming strength and resistance, anyone would be tripped up and fall into a pit. Therefore, this information is crucial for dragon slayers.

The only question is...

"So, according to Principal Angers, at least one dragon king was hatched and revived seven years ago?"

Angers said calmly, "But one thing we've discovered is that nobody knows exactly how many Dragon Kings have been resurrected in the world."

This is bad news. After the Dragon King was resurrected, he did not jump out to destroy the world, but instead hid in the darkness.

Chapter 144 The Cycle Table of Word Power

Under the leadership of Shio Miyamoto, the Ganryu Research Institute was like a sophisticated and busy instrument, operating around the submersible that could carry nuclear bombs.

However, even at maximum intensity, it will still take two days, or 48 hours, to complete this task.

"Master, the submersible will be completed and ready to go to sea in two more days."

"Ah."

Two days is a short time, just a blink of an eye for anyone, but to Genjiro, it was still too long.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. It is precisely in such urgent situations that we must not lose our composure. Unexpected events always come one after another. Even if there is one unexpected event each day for two days, it will still slow down the overall progress of the Snake Clan.

The entire Snake Clan was busy. Not only the Ganryu Research Institute, but also the deployment at sea, the prevention of the Corpse Guardian's impact, and the Menggui Clan, etc., all required manpower. The heavy tasks piled up rapidly, keeping everyone on edge.

Now that they know the origins of the White King's bloodline and the royal blood, Angers will definitely want to investigate further...

Now the Snake Clan is truly beset by internal and external troubles.

Unfortunately, Yuan Zhisheng had no one to rely on.

In the past, he could still ask Tachibana Masamune, but given the current situation, Genjiro could only keep him away from the center of power for his own good. As for Tachibana Masamune's affairs, he was too busy to even have time to spare. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, Genjiro, as the patriarch, really didn't have the mind to think about so much.

Those problematic clansmen, the demon horde, the assassins under the Genji Heavy Industries... as long as they are all removed, Tachibana Masamune will be unable to carry out his own attacks and will be unable to harm the Hebi-hime family.

Will Tachibana Masamune betray us? Don't be fooled by Angers' silence last night; the army from Kassel College might already be gathering, after all, that's the White King's relic.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Tachibana Masamune's betrayal will only cause localized unrest, and there is no possibility of turning the tide. Although Genjiro is not good at speaking, he is at least good at dealing with people. He does not want to thoroughly investigate Tachibana Masamune at this moment when the overall situation is already settled, and tear off the mask of civility.

If Tachibana Masamune can force his way into Kassel College, then the Snake Clan won't even need to consider this matter anymore...

Genji felt that the Snake-Headed Eight Families he had taken over were a mess, while Lu Mingfei and Angers were having a very pleasant conversation.

Both of them got what they wanted, but paid almost no real price.

The system wanted to expand its library with books about dragons, and also to broaden Lu Mingfei's and his knowledge. Angers waved his hand and gave them books that didn't involve Kassel or the Secret Society's top secrets, but Lu Mingfei had to pay for the photocopying and shipping himself.

and also……

The White King's remains are, of course, a case of "a market for something but no supply," but as long as both parties agree on the terms, that's enough. Angers doesn't care about money, something you can't take with you when you die, but deducting money from the board is indeed a hassle.

Lu Mingfei's needs didn't involve large sums of money; they were things he could easily resolve by simply giving instructions to his subordinates. So, Lu Mingfei readily agreed.

Unfortunately, some detailed records of the Dragon Script are indeed very valuable, and not just anyone can access them at the Kassel College. After the previous transaction, Angers began to have a tug-of-war with Lu Mingfei on this point.

The system wanted everything to expand the Dragon Text Library, but Angers said these were precious documents that Kassel and the Secret Service had accumulated over a long period of time at great expense…

The secret society has many fragments of dragon history records, such as the "Fragment of the Ice Sea" and the "Fragment of the Calendar," which represent countless dragon scripts. Unfortunately, they can only choose one. In the end, the system chose a fragment related to alchemy, which will be convenient for deciphering the shelved "Alchemy: The Origin Chronicle."

As the transaction neared its end, Lu Mingfei casually raised a question: "The Word Power Periodic Table was compiled by your Secret Party, so theoretically, the Word Power Periodic Table you have is the most complete. However, the Word Power Periodic Table circulating outside does not contain detailed records of specific effects, activation dragon runes, size limitations, etc. Is the detailed version of the Word Power Periodic Table a top secret of the Secret Party? I tried to understand the characteristics of Word Power in detail before but couldn't find it."

Angers didn't pay much attention to why the other party would specifically bring this up, as it wasn't a very important matter to begin with.

He said, "The Secret Party does have a more detailed version, though it's not exactly top secret. It's just that, generally speaking, people don't need such a detailed version to learn about this kind of thing. Not to mention, the periodic table of incantations is also incomplete. For many rare incantations, we only know that they actually exist, and that the records contain their general power and weaknesses, but we don't have any further in-depth understanding."

Therefore, under normal circumstances, to gain a more detailed and in-depth understanding of the periodic table of incantations, one would indeed need to put in considerable effort to find it. After all, this detailed version of the periodic table of incantations is not widely circulated, and in the Kassel College library, it is only accessible to professors who specialize in this area of ​​research.

Some things aren't particularly valuable, but for various reasons they're not available to the outside world. For those with the right connections, they're readily available, but for those without the right connections, obtaining them is incredibly difficult... Lu Mingfei asked, "Could you send me a copy now?"

“Yes, it’s in the academy’s database. I’ll have Norma send a copy to your email.” Ang Ze nodded.

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei gave his email address, and Angers looked down and tapped his phone. As soon as the message was sent, Lu Mingfei quickly received an email in his inbox.

I glanced at the contents at random, and there really was a record of activating the Dragon Rune in the Word of Power information... I just don't know how many Words of Power this record of activating the Dragon Rune covers.

With the transaction concluded, it's time to talk about feelings and see if we can squeeze out some more benefits, such as the Dragon Script records in the hands of the Secret Party... This is the system's analysis, trying to squeeze out as much as possible, and Lu Mingfei also feels that there is nothing wrong with this.

He began asking Angers about his great-grandfather, Lushanyan, and his parents: "Principal Angers, can you tell me about my great-grandfather and parents?"

Even as he said those words, Lu Mingfei himself felt a little awkward...

He was actually quite concerned about this issue, but when faced with the system's strategy of "talking about the deal first, then about building relationships, and maximizing profits," he unhesitatingly chose to trust the system's strategy.

It's not that he's become cold-blooded, but rather that he's come to accept the system's view that everything has a hierarchy and priority.

Otherwise, he should have immediately asked his parents about their relationship with Angers when he learned that they knew each other.

Angers put down his cigar and said in reminiscence, "This question... let me start with your great-grandfather, Lushan Yan."

Your great-grandfather was born after the Taiping Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty. You should know the situation in your country at that time; there were countless problems...

When I first met your great-grandfather, he still had a queue (braid) at the back of his head…

Angers focused more on Lu Shanyan's character.

Why did Lu Shanyan travel across the ocean to Europe, and why did he choose to join the Secret Party, even becoming an important member of the Lionheart Society, the core organization of the Secret Party?

Because their ideals are the same, besides slaying dragons, there is also...

When Angers talked about the Lionheart's ideology under Meneke's leadership, Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised.

There's no need to ask questions; he just needs to listen.

Unfortunately, this brilliant and upright Lionheart was buried by the Dragon King during the Summer Mourning... and thus, Lu Shanyan's story came to an end.

Menek's Word of Power should be the ultimate Word of Power, but no one is sure what it is exactly. At least not even Angers can be sure, let alone know about activating the Dragon Rune.

We have lost a Dragon King-level Word of Power.

After Lu Shanyan finished speaking, it was Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini's turn. Angers' first sentence overturned Lu Mingfei's and the system's previous speculation about the decline of the Lu family bloodline.

"Your parents are both outstanding mixed-race individuals, both ranked S-class in bloodline assessments..."

My parents have S-class bloodlines? I'm just an ordinary person?

It was as if a huge bomb had suddenly exploded in Lu Mingfei's mind, leaving behind a big question mark.
