Lu Mingfei, the Martial Saint of the Dragon Clan

So, the Camarilla scholars discovered.

The only ones who can adapt to dragon blood are humans.

Of course, this is the conclusion after excluding pure-blood dragons.

The scholar who wrote this conclusion probably felt pity at the time.

Their plan was to create dragonborn soldiers, biological weapons modeled on other species, but the end result was that only humans could adapt to dragon blood.

Compared to dragon-born creatures of other species, even monsters like Deadpool can be considered to have a stable bloodline.

At least Deadpool doesn't grow multiple organs and then eat himself.

Other dragonborn creatures are really capable of such things.

When Chu Zihang saw these records, he didn't think much about it. It might have left some cruel impressions, but that was all. All the horrific experiments of the Secret Party were conducted on species other than humans. If Chu Zihang If his sympathy was overflowing to this extent, he would not be qualified to read these materials.

The Camarilla are dragon slayers, not a charitable foundation.

However, many years later, Chu Zihang was in the Hanging Garden. When he realized the specialness of the hybrid existence, the information he had read in Kassel came to mind again.

This time he looked at it from a different angle.

Suddenly, Chu Zihang discovered the astonishing fact.

That fact is hidden under the curtain of history, and no one has noticed it for thousands of years.

Almost everyone turned a blind eye.

But there he is.

It was as if there was an elephant in the room. The elephant was right there. Everyone subconsciously walked around the elephant, but no one noticed the elephant.

Chu Zihang heard Uesugi Yue still muttering softly.

"It's so weird," Uesugoshi said.

Yes, Chu Zihang thought, it’s so strange.

Everyone, all hybrids, from alchemists to dragon slayers, all hybrids know that the so-called hybrids are the product of the union of dragons and humans.

The power of dragons and hybrids is obvious to all.

So, what about people?

Why are humans qualified to bear the blood of dragons?

unless.

The answer was already ready to come out, in Chu Zihang's heart.

Chu Zihang looked at all the decorations in the palace.

He imagined that a giant dragon once lived here.

How to toast the dragon's claw?

How tall is the dragon to fit through the gate?

No, no, no, no.

Chu Zihang understood that it shouldn't be a giant dragon.

another.

How about changing the owner of this palace from the image of a dragon to a human being?

He walked into the gate and stopped in front of the white jade-like pillars to admire the reliefs.

Chu Zihang also stopped.

Uesugi Yue was still immersed in his thoughts. After walking out of several movies, he found that Chu Zihang had not followed, so Uesugi Yue turned around, he said.

"What's wrong?"

Uesugi saw Chu Zihang looking at the relief.

They were several angels with divine faces. Judging from the outline of their facial features, they were Westerners.

"Isn't this a very ordinary relief?"

Uesugoshi said.

"Um."

Chu Zihang said.

"Have you ever imagined the decoration of the dragon palace?"

“What is painted on the Dragon Clan’s palace?

Uesugoshi was asked.

To be honest, before this war started, Uesugi was really not interested in dragons or anything like that.

He smiled sheepishly.

"Dragon decoration... I really haven't thought about it."

"I didn't think about it either."

Chu Zihang said.

"But not human."

It's rare that Chu Zihang would do it again.

He said.

"Shouldn't be human."

This sentence reminded Uesugoshi again.

Uesugi changed his angle and re-examined the relief on the elephant white jade pillar.

This time Uesugi cared less about craftsmanship.

He only looked at the details of the relief.

Uesugoshi searched for a long time. He pursed his lips. Uesugoshi seemed to be struggling with something, but no, no, no, still no!

In the reliefs, Uesugoshi could not find any trace of belonging to the dragon clan.

This is a human, or an angel, in short, not a dragon.

This time, Uesugoshi was even more confused.

From the moment he entered, Uesugi's understanding of the world and the dragon clan seemed to be subverted.

Why do dragons live in human sizes?

Why are dragon sculptures and murals also human?

This is so strange.

"Let's go."

Chu Zihang said.

He looked ahead, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Chu Zihang heard Xia Mi's last words to them again.

Chami said that this Nibelung is a prison.

"We have to hurry up."

Chu Zihang said.

"The Hanging Garden must not be allowed to escape from this Nibelung."

Chu Zihang said to Uesugi Yue.

"I have a bad feeling."

Uesugi raised his hand, and his dragon scales opened and closed again, making a sound of gold and iron.

"Me too."

Uesugoshi said.

"I feel bad."

What they entered was a palace complex.

It covers an extremely wide area.

This palace, among the entire palace complex, is not even considered a side hall.

It's just a small building.

Chu Zihang decided to go to the main hall. Anger was most likely to be in the main hall. No matter what happened, there would be clues in the main hall.

Uesugoshi also agrees, but the question arises, how to find the main hall?

There are too many forks in the road.

There are roads to the front, back, left and right, and many palaces look the same. Even if Uesugoshi could remember them, his head would feel dizzy.

This palace complex is simply a maze-like place.

Not to mention going to the main hall to find Angers here, just trying not to get lost is already very difficult.

Uesugi felt that he could not continue like this.

Going around in circles again is just a waste of time.

He thought that he might as well go ahead and explore the road ahead, and then come back to pick up Chu Zihang after he found a suitable road.

However, as a result, Uesugi was worried that the scene with the Gargoyle King outside before would happen again.

Although Chu Zihang is very strong, the Sky Garden Palace Complex is different from the outside. They have not encountered any danger until now.

So peaceful.

It was eerily calm.

Uesugoshi and Chu Zihang agreed that this was the moment before the storm, and something terrifying was waiting for them ahead.

Uesugi was more and more worried about what would happen if Chu Zihang was left here alone, and he would not be able to come back for help.

Besides, isn’t that what horror movies do?

The protagonist group who went on an adventure together began to reduce in number after they decided to split up.

If you act separately, if you act separately, your head will really be divided.

Now Uesugoshi is really in a dilemma.

Chu Zihang stressed that he didn't know clearly that their time was precious. Although he didn't know what would happen if the Hanging Garden escaped from the Nibelungen, the God's Burial Hall, that incident was terrible, very terrible, even, Uesugoshi felt that the matter of going outside the Hanging Garden was more terrifying than the return of the four great monarchs.

I can’t say why, it’s just a feeling, but at a level like Uesugi’s level, which is comparable to the next generation, many times, it often feels more trustworthy than rational logical thinking.

So, they really don't have much time.

The most painful thing is that the Hanging Garden is an independent Nibelungen. It is a small world of its own. They are now in this small world and have no idea what is happening outside.

How was the fight between Xia Mi, the human being of earth and mountains, and Li Wuyue?

Who has the upper hand?

Is the Sky Garden still in its original location?

Or has it flown beyond the Nibelungen?

Finally, and most importantly, how much time is left for them?

Chu Zihang Uesugi seemed to be racing against an invisible person.

This is a doomsday game.

But they don't know where their opponents are running and how fast they are.

The only thing they could do was run, run as fast as they could, as fast as they could.

Uesugoshi suddenly understood that perhaps the real goal of their trip to the Hanging Garden was not to rescue Angers.

He had a premonition.

Xia Mi knows many things.

But she didn't say it.

Uesugoshi has experienced this situation too much, and he can understand it. Many mixed-races are like this. They like to be a riddle person. It seems that if they just say what they want to say without saying a few riddles, they will die.

They were unhappy, but Uesugoshi also knew that they didn't mean to be the Riddler. Many messages had power in themselves and could not be shared with other people. Once spoken, something very bad might happen.

Just like the ancient wisdom of the Far East, many truths can only be understood by yourself. Others cannot tell you, and even if they tell you, you will not understand.

Uesugoshi and Chu Zihang are now looking for the answer. They are on the way to enlightenment.

How mysterious.

Uesugi thought more and more.

He looked away.

In fact, it is very simple. If Uesugoshi said, it is better to save Ange. Ange will definitely know what to do next.

Uesugoshi decided.

He must act alone, let go of speed, and cover all the forks in the shortest time.

I walked through every intersection, tried every possibility, and tried like crazy, but I could always reach the main hall.

Even idiots have their own ways.

This was the best solution Uesugoshi could think of.

He thinks it works.

However, if any danger does arise, Chu Zihang can only rely on himself.

Uesugi sighed inwardly and silently said sorry.

Things are always like this in the world, and it’s difficult to have both.

Uesugoshi suddenly had this realization.

So, he prepared to talk to Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang stopped.

"Hold on."

Chu Zihang lowered his head and thought for a while.

He carved it on the ground with Murasame.

Uesugoshi had a lot of things he wanted to say, but in the end he could only hold them in his stomach.

He decided to see what Chu Zihang was doing first.

Uesugi Yue discovered that what Chu Zihang carved on the ground were some mathematical symbols that he could not understand.

and a simple schematic.

It seems to be a certain building.

Uesugoshi touched his chin.

He tried to recall, but fortunately, the dragon clan had a strong memory. He recalled that when he first returned to the Sheqi Ba family, the family invited experts and scholars in various fields to provide him with tutoring lessons.

Among them was an art teacher who taught Uesugi about architectural aesthetics for a while.

The memory of that time resurfaced, and slowly, Uesugi realized that he seemed to be able to understand what Chu Zihang was drawing.

"this……"

Uesugoshi slowly opened his eyes.

"This is a schematic diagram of the palace complex!"

Chu Zihang is indeed Chu Zihang. While he is concentrating on the portrayal, he can still reply to Uesugoshi's words.

He nodded: "Yeah."

What else did Uesugoshi want to say? Judging from the look on his face, he probably exclaimed, saying something like "How is that possible!" "How on earth did you do that!" and the like.

But before these words came out, Uesugoshi quickly covered his mouth.

He was afraid that he would disturb Chu Zihang's thoughts.

When Chu Zihang stopped, Uesugi Yue was speechless.

This time I was so impressed that I was speechless.

He could see that Chu Zihang had almost made the internal diagram of the entire palace complex.

Of course, this is a very simple version.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to draw.

Uesugi Yue pointed at a certain point in Chu Zihang's painting and asked.

"Is this where we are now?"

"Um."

Chu Zihang said.

Uesugoshi lowered his head to look at the schematic diagram again. He looked up at Chu Zihang for a while, then lowered his head again. The face of the transformed half-dragon slowly revealed an expression that was almost like seeing a ghost.

To Uesugoshi, this picture looks very much like that.

At least where they had walked, yes.

Uesugi pointed back and drew a big circle, enclosing the places that the two of them had not yet had time to walk through.

"How do you know this?"

Uesugoshi had a flash of inspiration.

"Did that girl Xia Mi tell you?"

Chu Zihang shook his head.

"I figured it out myself."

Uesugi hesitated to speak.

He also wanted to ask, forget it? How is it calculated?

But Uesugi felt more and more that if he continued to ask, there would be no results.

Chu Zihang said everything he could say. It was calculated. He continued to ask Uesugi Yue about how it was calculated. Even if Chu Zihang explained everything to him, Uesugi Yue doubted that he had probably listened to it. don't know.

Uesugoshi is quite self-aware.

If he takes ten thousand steps back, even if he understands it, how much time will it take?

So Uesugoshi finally wisely chose to give up.

Chu Zihang used Murasame as their location on the schematic map.

Then he was a little bit in the main hall.

The path between the two quickly appeared in the hearts of Chu Zihang and Uesugoshi.

With their brains and a schematic diagram, it is extremely easy to deduce the route.

"good!"

Uesugoshi was shocked.

"Then, what's next is..."

Uesugoshi looked towards the left fork in the road.

"Go here!"

The two started moving forward again.

This time they had the correct route, and they no longer bumped into each other like headless flies.

First turn left, then go straight, then left.

At first, Uesugi took this route just to give it a try.

Chu Zihanghua has drawn it, and it looks like it is what it is.

And, what if it’s true?

If this were true, how much effort would they have to save.

So Uesugoshi hit the road.

The further down he went, the more frightened Uesugi became.

It’s not because the route is wrong.

Quite the opposite.

The diagram is absolutely correct.

This is the most surprising.

Walking down a few intersections, it was exactly the same as what Chu Zihang had described.

When he first saw Chu Zihang's paintings, Uesugi thought it was fresh and didn't think much about it.

But as he walked along this journey, he would inevitably think about how Chu Zihang did it?

He was even worried that Chu Zihang might have some kind of relationship with the Dragon Clan...

Uesugoshi immediately ordered himself to give up such thoughts.

Chu Zihang was Cassel's student, a dragon slayer, and a famous mass killer.

If the mixed-race world were to judge a dragon-slaying activist, besides Angers Schneider, there would definitely be a candidate named Chu Zihang.

If you add a condition of "younger generation" to this dragon-slaying activist, then there is only one candidate, and that is Chu Zihang.

For others, slaying dragons is their job and responsibility, but for guys like Chu Zihang and Ange, slaying dragons is their lives.

How could Chu Zihang like this be related to the Dragon Clan.

Uesugi told himself firmly that it was impossible.

However, for some reason, whenever Uesugi told himself that it was impossible, and that Chu Zihang must be a purely loyal dragon slayer, Xia Mi would always flash before his eyes.

yes.

If Chu Zihang is really a determined dragon slayer.

So, what about Xia Mi?

Uesugi thought a lot.

He seemed preoccupied.

As a result, Chu Zihang called him twice before Uesugoshi reacted.

"uncle."

"uncle."

"Um."

Uesugoshi said.

"you call me?"

Chu Zihang looked at him quietly for a while.

"I mean."

"Have you been to church?"

Uesugi Yue was still a little surprised that Chu Zihang actually called him uncle. This kind of over-the-top title is not in line with your Chu Zihang's super-killing temperament.

Speaking of which, Uesugoshi sounds more pleasant to Natsumi's kind of person, who speaks like an "uncle".

After getting in touch with him during this period, Uesugi slowly discovered that Chu Zihang seemed to be different from the rumored image.

Chu Zihang is rumored to be ruthless. He does nothing but slay dragons all day long. His knife is very cold, and what is colder than the knife is his blood.

Anyway, Uesugoshi had a picture in his mind of Chu Zihang wielding a sword and fighting a bloody battle with dragons under the moonlight.

But now, Uesugi Yue discovered that in addition to dragons and deadpools, there were also sashimi and beef that Chu Zihang could draw his sword on.

how to say.

Chu Zihang is a more interesting person than he looks on the outside.

Many times Uesugi Koshi would think that if a movie was made with Chu Zihang as the protagonist, the movie title could probably be written as "This Killer is Kind of Good".

Chu Zihang is the kind of person who watches Deadpool with a blank expression, turns back and bites the straw to drink milk, and gives people a feeling of "Wow, this guy is so cool."

"Church."

Uesugoshi said with emotion.

"I've been there."

What he said was modest. Before returning to the Seraki Hachi family, Uesugoshi had been living in Italy. You must know that the Vatican is a country within a country in Italy. You can imagine how many churches there are in Italy.

"Um."

Chu Zihang said.

"Uncle, you should have noticed it too."

Chu Zihang's matter-of-fact tone made Uesugi Yue confused as to where to start.

I find? Was I supposed to discover something? What should I find?

"This palace complex is arranged according to the specifications of a church."

Chu Zihang said.

Uesugi was shocked.

The next generation's brain operates like a computer, recalling Uesugi's memories from many years ago. At that time, he was still in Italy, the sun shone in through the colorful windows, the Bible was on the pulpit, and the suffering Jesus was crucified.

Scenes of memories overlapped with the palace complex painted by Chu Zihang.

Uesugi unconsciously slowed down.

He looked at his surroundings with a strange look.

Chu Zihang said: "The church has fixed specifications."

“This is an area I haven’t penetrated into research.”

"I just remember some general specifications for churches."

"Just now, I discovered that this palace complex is an enlarged church."

"The functional areas of the church were replaced by contiguous palaces."

“I tried to extrapolate from the part to the whole, and that’s how I got that picture.”

Having said this, Chu Zihang paused.

After that, Uesugi heard the subtle ups and downs in Chu Zihang's tone.

"I'm actually not sure that picture is correct."

"But now."

"I'm sure."

The two of them were silent for a while, both digesting the impact of Chu Zihang's words.

The church is a building of Christian mythology and belongs to two different systems from Norse mythology.

Now they actually discovered the inextricable connection between the Christian Church and the Dragon King's palace.

What does this mean?

Of course, if you want to explain it, it’s not impossible to explain it.

Myths all over the world can be related to the dragon family.

The Dragon Clan is the source of all myths. This is the consensus among mixed-race academic circles.

But, if the prototype of the church is the Dragon King's palace...

The meaning behind this incident is much more important than myth or history.

"The main hall you are targeting is..."

Uesugi asked.

"Pulpit."

Chu Zihang replied.

They looked at each other.

"Why are you sure it's the pulpit?"

Uesugi asked.

"Not the pulpit I was looking for."

Chu Zihang said.

"The center of this palace complex, corresponding to the church, is the pulpit."

Uesugoshi opened his mouth.

There was something he wanted to say, but before he said it, Uesugi had a premonition that once he said it, something terrible might happen.

It will wake up a certain existence.

Moreover, Uesugi Yue believed that he did not need to say this sentence, Chu Zihang already understood it.

In fact, Uesugi felt that the reason why Chu Zihang had said so much to him for the first time just now was because of this, what he wanted to say but couldn't.

Perhaps Chu Zihang, like him, was aware of this body and realized that this sentence could not be said, so he used the words just now to hint.

The pulpit...

Uesugi thought to himself.

He remembered that behind the church's pulpit was the cross, the icon of the Passion of Jesus.

So, this group of palaces is similar to a church.

No.

It should be said that this palace complex is the source of the "church" building.

What is the sacred image here?

The icon of the human church is the crucified Jesus, who bore all the sins of mankind in the world, died on the cross, and was resurrected seven days later.

So, where is the icon of this palace complex?

Uesugi thought more about the Black King.

The Black King is destined to return and will be resurrected.

But that's not right.

Very wrong.

After passing through the gate and the relief, these two reminders from Chu Zihang, Uesugi had a premonition.

A, perhaps terrifying, premonition.

The icon of the church in this palace complex is not a dragon.

It's people.
