Chapter 733 Field Expansion (Two-in-One)

The world was spinning, and Lu Mingfei felt like he was thrown into the drum washing machine, but soon gravity acted on him again, slamming him to the ground and throwing him to pieces, almost losing his last night's dinner of salmon rolls. He vomited out the beef and steak, and the cold water continued to wash over him, making his hands and feet slippery and unable to stand up.

Compared to Lu Mingfei, Lin Nian landed much more smoothly. After emerging from the water flow, his flippers firmly planted on the ground and he slightly bent his knees and leaned forward. The moment he stood firm in the dark space, his right hand He placed it on the hidden buckle of the Seven Deadly Sins Sword Box behind his back, ready to open the sword box and enter combat readiness at any time.

After waiting for fifteen seconds, there was no movement in the darkness. The only source of light was Lin Nian's golden eyes of red fire. He finally released the secret button on his right hand and picked up the burning rod at his waist. He raised it up, cold flames. The red light instantly illuminated the huge wall in front of him.

The Dragon King did not ambush behind the door. In front of Lin Nian, it still looked like the entrance to Baidi City in his memory. The familiar bronze walls were hung with giant gears that meshed precisely. However, the mechanisms of the Bronze City were not activated today. , every gear hangs quietly on the wall, full of the most original mechanical beauty.

"The Dragon King is still an engineering man who engages in mechanics!" Lu Mingfei's shocked voice came from behind Lin Nian. He got up from the slippery ground and walked behind Lin Nian, who was illuminated by the burning rod. He looked up at the shocking scene. A scene that touches people's hearts. It cannot be said that he has little experience. The key is that since the beginning of this mission, every time he sees something, he will reshape and subvert his three views. It feels like primitive people entering the city.

"Magic Mechanical Design, a branch of alchemy, is like the relationship between mathematics and functions, so strictly speaking, the Dragon King is an alchemist man, not an engineering man." Lin Nian handed the burning stick to Lu Mingfei and said to himself He lit another one and said, "Beichuan, this is the underwater team. We have successfully entered the Bronze City."

After waiting for a moment, there was no response from the headset, only deathly silence.

"The signal is cut off." After a moment, Lu Mingfei revealed this terrible reality.

"As expected." Lin Nian looked back at the giant bronze door, "'Snake' should have been able to connect signals through excellent conductors like bronze, but now it seems that the Dragon King has done more than simple repairs to Baidi City. "

"Would it be better if we bring a signal line down?" Lu Mingfei was a little worried. The burning rod continued to illuminate the limited darkness, and everything he saw was bronze black. It didn't look like Lin Nian had a very powerful night power. Due to his poor eyesight and light, he was unable to see the entire interior of the Bronze City.

"It will also be pinched off by that door. When I pushed the door, I saw saw teeth on the closing edges of the left and right door panels. Even the toughest signal rope will be crushed by hundreds of tons of force." Lin Nian shook his head, " There is no turning back when the bow is fired, and signal disconnection is expected and not worth panicking about."

"Then what should we do now?" Lu Mingfei looked around and touched the black box on his back, "Put a bomb here and run away? Do you still have the strength to push the door open again?"

"This is just the entrance, not even the front hall. You have to walk forward for a while to get to the front hall. There is a giant snake-faced human statue in the inner hall deeper than the front hall. There is a deep pit under the statue. It leads directly to the Dragon King's palace. We can activate the alchemy bomb in the deep pit and then drop it to detonate." Lin Nian will never forget the layout of this place after visiting the Bronze City once. As long as the Bronze City does not turn around like a Rubik's Cube like the last time, he will Never get lost.

"Since the Dragon King has returned to his palace, it means there should be air here (the underwater burning rod does not require oxygen to burn and cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether there is air). If you can save some oxygen by closing the oxygen valve, try to save it. Lin Nian said.

After Lu Mingfei did as he was told, he finally exposed his head to the air. He took a deep breath and found no pungent odor, which made him feel relieved. In many Western fantasy novels, evil dragons breathe. It's sulfur. He doesn't even know how to smoke, let alone smoke sulfur. The last time Constantine blew up the academy, the smell of sulfur almost choked him to death.

"Let's go. Our mission has been going well so far. Next, we just need to pass through the front hall and drop the alchemy bomb through this 'Temple Road'." Lin Nian walked in front to lead the way. The traction of the safety rope did not prevent Lu Mingfei from getting lost in the darkness. After all, there was also a burning rod as a beacon to determine each other's direction.

"You're right, we have to move faster, otherwise Professor Manstein's high blood pressure will develop again." Lu Mingfei hurriedly followed, and couldn't agree more with Lin Nian's decision to make a quick decision. He was afraid that Lin Nian suddenly became addicted to archeology and wanted to stay here for a while.

The two of them were walking in the darkness. Lu Mingfei looked around from time to time, but he couldn't help it because the space was so big that it made people feel uneasy. In the darkness, he and Lin Nian could only hear the sound of his and Lin Nian's feet touching the ground. The sound of "ta-da" footsteps.

The red light of the cold flame intertwined their shadows on the ground and dragged them for a long time, illuminating one or two figures from time to time. Before Lu Mingfei had time to scream, he realized that there were no living people, just statues with snake heads and human bodies. , neatly dressed and elegant, with a vivid snake face, illuminated by the cold flames, could not help but make Lu Mingfei feel chills one after another.

"Is slaying dragons in the execution department such a fatal job?" Lu Mingfei couldn't stand the silence and was ready to find some topic.

"Normally, it won't be so serious. You may even have the opportunity to drive a ONE:1 and race on the streets of New York, or watch a chocolate-skinned beauty rub your cigar for you on the open-air dance floor in Cuba." Lin Nian said casually without looking back. They The sound could not even reach the end of the entire wide space.

"real or fake?"

"Really, it's just a pity that I don't smoke or smoke cigars, so I can only decline the kindness of those beauties. But my sister and I both learned the popular local flamenco dance that time and had the opportunity to teach You." Lin Nian paused for a moment, "Not every mission of the execution department is so fatal, but this time you are unlucky to encounter the most deadly one."

"Fuck it." Lu Mingfei's face fell a little.

"The people on the ship can't hear your complaints now. You can also curse a few more to vent your emotions, lest I make a mistake when deploying the bomb and I have to take advantage of you in an instant." Lin Nian said, "Stop talking now, don't you? Aren't you afraid that the Dragon King will hide in an invisible corner and eavesdrop on our gossip?"

"The Dragon King also gossips?" Lu Mingfei muttered in a low voice, "What kind of boring dragon is this that steals a princess as his best friend?"

"There's something wrong." Lin Nian said, his left hand gently leaning back against the side of the sword box of the Seven Deadly Sins.

This sentence was not meant for Lu Mingfei. If he really said this sentence, he would ensure that Lu Mingfei's heart rate would skyrocket to 120, so he only said this sentence to those who could hear it.

"Can you feel it too?" Beside Lin Nian, the blond girl who could not be noticed by Lu Mingfei looked at the darkness around her, with glimmers of light in her bright golden eyes, "It's the 'field' that's wrong."

"'Field'?"

"In the words of you on the Beichuan, it's 'Feng Shui'. Every era has different terms. In my era we generally called it 'field'." The blonde girl said, "In other words, You have approached an unknown alchemical matrix, and now your bloodline is extremely sensitive to this mysticism, so you can feel the contradictory perceptions."

"So shouldn't I move forward?"

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." The blonde girl shook her head, "It's not time to retreat yet, don't worry, just play with him."

"Then I want to know where the ultimate in alchemy is." Lin Nian said, "You should understand the meaning of the mural on that door. If Norton really wants to wholeheartedly avenge Constantine at all costs, then I should know that he How far can we go?"

"Don't you think it's too late to ask this question now?" the blonde girl said.

"It's never too late to ask. It's really too late only if you don't understand what's going on until you die."

"Don't worry, you won't die so easily with Yaqi as your trump card." The blond girl said, "Isn't the ultimate in alchemy written in the textbook of your Kassel Academy?"

"The bones of the living dead are the medicine that turns stone into gold?"

"Those are just superficial descriptions. The essence of both is to change the established 'rules' of the world." The blonde girl said lightly, "The dead can never be resurrected, stones can never be turned into gold, and the sky can never collapse. The earth can never ascend to heaven. Alchemy is to reverse everything, so that the upper is the lower and the lower is the upper. If you want to do all this, you must capture the "Tai Yi", which is both spirit and matter. It is in the alchemists In his eyes is the Almighty God, and there is always only one God in this world, and that is the 'rules' that make everything run smoothly."

"It's such a general statement. If you can control the rules, isn't that God?"

"Rules are supreme, and God must also prostrate himself under the law of conservation of energy. If God changes the rules, then God must also obey the rules. God can die, God can cease to exist, but rules will not. All things will die, but rules Eternal." The blonde girl's voice contained some solemnity and awe, "The ultimate in alchemy is to change the rules. The more extreme the rules are changed, the more terrifying the rules are. Isn't the existence of the Nibelungs a reflection of every dragon's understanding of the rules? Do you understand and use it? The same is true for words and spirits. Alchemy just points directly to the rules themselves."

"Then let me put it another way. If the Dragon King goes crazy, can the world be changed?" Lin Nian asked.

At the same time, he stood still. Although the surroundings were still dark, but based on the route he remembered, he should have passed through the long church road surrounded by snake-faced statues and arrived at the place where there were giant statues and deep pits. The inner hall was hit.

"Aren't you ready for a bloody battle a long time ago? Where is the energy when you killed Constantine?" The blonde girl smiled lightly and stood beside him, looking at the deep and terrifying darkness ahead as he did.

"I said, I want to go back alive. If there is no way to retreat, who really wants to die with the Dragon King?" As Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully behind him, Lin Nian stood on the spot and stared straight into the deepest part of the darkness. Sighed softly.

"When you killed Constantine, you should have expected this scene to happen today. The orthodox 'S' class also told you what the Dragon King only said when he came to Kuimen. If you don't realize it, you will Why push open the door of the trial? That door only welcomes the destined dragon slayers and the haters killed by the Dragon King. You and Lu Mingfei are here, so face it." The blonde girl said, "You can't leave your back to a monarch who has lost his mind, right?"

"This is a spiral of hatred. It is more about pure fighting than the entanglement of interests, so fighting is the absolute theme. The outpouring of hatred is the ultimate goal, and there will be no rest until death."

The blond girl seemed to be reciting a poem. As she was reciting, under the gaze of Lu Mingfei, whose heart rate gradually increased, Lin Nian, standing in the open darkness, unloaded the seven deadly sins from behind, and with a heavy sound of falling to the ground Placed on the ground, the mythical alchemical sword popped out under the illumination of cold flames after the sound of the secret button, and the undisguised murderous intention was also erupted from the bronze box.

The seven heartbeats of the alchemical sword combination surged, and they didn't even need blood to wake them up. Just Lin Nian pulling them apart completely ignited their bloodthirsty instincts. The intertwined heartbeats were like beating war drums in the darkness. When the war drums sound, there will always be war.

Sure enough, when Lu Mingfei was still confused and wanted to ask Lin Nian what was going on, a bright fire suddenly lit up behind him. Looking back, he saw clusters of flames lighting up on both sides of the darkness. !

Lu Mingfei looked intently to see where the flames came from, and was horrified to find that one after another, the statues with snake faces and human bodies were burning themselves in the darkness, and in the flames they even hunched over their originally straight waists. It was as if he was bowing to something noble to welcome his arrival.

The flames burned past them one after another, igniting a bright church path toward the deepest part of the darkness. There stood a giant snake-faced human statue tens of meters tall. The eighty-eight statues represented the eighty-eight The small statue of metal elements burned out. In the end, the holder of all metals and the owner of all flames, the Han Bafang sword held by the giant statue in both hands was also bathed in blazing flames, completely illuminating the entire darkness. space.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei finally knew why Lin Nian wanted to awaken the seven deadly sins.

He shuddered violently, because at the end of his sight, there was a figure sitting quietly under the giant statue. He had been hiding in the darkness until the firelight illuminated his white robe, and his figure The thin figure sat cross-legged on the cold bronze ground. A dark low table was placed in front of him, and white jade wine vessels were placed in a circle. However, no one drank the fine wine in it. The liquid reflected those golden eyes of lava.

Lord of Bronze and Fire Norton.

He has been waiting for them here for a long time.

The heartbeats of the Seven Deadly Sins were so frantic that they almost broke through the shackles of the sword form, transforming into a dragon and rushing towards the ceiling of the bronze hall. This was a sign that the living spirit in the sword was about to lose control. They smelled the familiar scent and felt the call of the Forger's bloodline, which was the smell of fighting and battlefield. They couldn't wait to drink blood, whether the source of the blood was the Dragon King who forged them or something else.

"There was never any plan to lure the enemy." Ignoring the strange behavior of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lin Nian looked at the white figure and said calmly. He also gave Lu Mingfei behind him an answer he should have known, " The 'Bronze Plan' was formulated by the principal and directly assigned the dive team. We learned that someone leaked the name of the 'murderer' who killed Constantine, so the Dragon King's anger will only be vented on the 'murderer', and this dragon-slaying war has nothing to do with it. The conflict between humans and dragons is just about revenge, so the only people the Dragon King will meet are the 'murderers', which is us."

Lu Mingfei didn't speak for a long time. Perhaps he was frightened by Lin Nian's sudden confession. It was not difficult for Lin Nian to understand his current psychological activities. What was originally just a wretched activity of dropping bombs and stealing houses turned into a head-on confrontation with the Dragon King. , even everyone would be shocked by this huge gap and couldn't recover. Lu Mingfei didn't turn around and just left him and ran away. It was already very loyal.

Just when he wanted to say something to give Lu Mingfei some confidence, he didn't expect that the boy behind him suddenly spoke, his voice filled with disbelief and hesitation.

"Old Tang?"

In front of the low table, the man in white robe raised his head, and the bright flames illuminated his face. He was not as handsome as expected from the Dragon King, and could even be said to be quite ordinary. His curved eyebrows gave his face a different look. There was a hint of softness and kindness, but the lava-like dragon eyes filled with hot emotions ruined the mood of reunion after a long absence.

Lin Nian stared at the pair of scorching dragon eyes that were the same as his own for a few seconds, and after confirming that this was the Dragon King he was looking for, he turned back to look at Lu Mingfei behind him who was a bit gloomy. After staring at the boy for a while, he said, " Although I find it incredible, it seems that you have met before this meeting?"

"I" Lu Mingfei said and took a step forward, then stopped because the pair of golden eyes of lava finally turned to him. The moment their eyes met, Lu Mingfei felt a fear that he had never felt before. , that is not the intimidation of blood, but the intimidation of absolute murderous intent. Without any sound or movement, it was like a sharp knife hanging in front of the pupil, only a centimeter away, it would penetrate the eyeball, pierce the brain, and open the back of the head. The hairs all over the body stood on end, and the blood was frozen in the blood vessels. Every stumbling movement of the ice shards condensed in the center caused severe cold pain to the whole body.

He is not Old Tang, that Ronald Tang, he is Norton, Constantine's brother, the leader of Baidi City, the controller of the eighty-eight elements, and one of the four greatest kings in the history of the Dragon Clan. 1. The Lord of Bronze and Fire.

"I'm very interested in how you met and what stories happened, but it seems that no matter what happened in the past, everyone's position will probably not change again in the drama department." Lin Nian stepped on the Seven Deadly Sins with his right foot. On the sword box, a field spread out from around him and enveloped him and Lu Mingfei behind him. At the same time, a kick shocked the sword creatures who were almost going crazy. These creatures who were born to kill the Dragon King were... He stepped hard on it and couldn't move.

At the same time, the moment the field unfolded, the man in white also set his sights on Lin Nian.

He spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Is that you?"

"It's me." Lin Young said in a low voice. Surrounded by the burning snake-man statues on both sides, the golden eyes of lava looked directly at the Dragon King reflected in the fire. "Who else could it be besides me?"

"Okay." The man in white said. He raised the jade cup on the low table. His movements had a hint of ancient meaning and a hint of indescribable tragedy, like delivering wine to the heavens. His lava eyes were calm and unwavering. Gaze at the countless petals on the bronze dome that seem to be spreading out from branches and leaves.

At this moment, the Bronze City seemed to have flipped a switch and started to operate. A huge roar filled the sky, just like a sleeping giant finally awakening in front of a butcher's knife. The giant gears began to bite together on the wall. The machines collided and rubbed against each other, making a roaring sound.

Lin Nian grabbed the hilt of the "Rage" sword among the Seven Deadly Sins. The moment the horse-killing sword fell into his hand, its restrictions were released. The original blade reached a full seven or eight meters and fell to the ground, like the teeth of an angry dragon. The blade began to move as if it were alive and began to rub, sawing bright sparks on the bronze ground. The dark golden blade reflected the fire, as if it was also ignited by the raging fire!

A war seemed about to break out, but suddenly, the man in white let go of the cup he held high in his hand. The jade cup suddenly fell from a height, and was pulled by gravity and hit the hard ground. The fragile cup body had no trace of it. Without any suspense, it broke into white petals, and the clear liquid inside also spilled on the cold ground.

At this moment, the roar of Bronze City stopped abruptly.

Lin Nian, who was holding a sword in his hand, suddenly seemed to notice something. He moved his eyes away from the man in white and looked up at the bronze dome of the hall. When his burning eyes reflected the dense light, the short man looked up. The man at the table also slowly stood up and looked at Lu Mingfei beside Lin Nian from a distance.

"Death is not terrible, it is just a long sleep." He said, and Norton said, "Thank you for letting him understand this truth, Lu Mingfei."

Lu Mingfei wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. He stared blankly at the fiery red eyes of the former friend, the rare friend when he was lonely, across his tearful face, waiting for him to say the last words. One sentence.

"It's time for you to understand this truth."

—

Beichuan number.

Manstein walked around in front of the console with his hands behind his back with a gloomy expression. They had lost contact with the underwater team dozens of minutes ago. At the end of the communication, Lu Mingfei's exclamation and Lin Nian's unintelligible words Those words made the situation extremely dark and unclear. He now faced a decision, whether to send Group B to dive or to wait patiently for the signal of Group A to reconnect.

"Professor!" Suddenly, Ye Sheng's voice sounded from the communicator.

"Have you contacted them?" Manstein jumped towards the console as if he was going to eat the communicator.

"Snake can't penetrate the water at all now. The underwater spirit seems to be blocked and cannot be unfolded. But compared to this, I think you should take a look at the situation outside the deck." Ye Sheng's voice was a little strange, as if it was stuck in his throat. .

"What's the situation outside the deck?" Manstein looked up at the observation window.

He was suddenly stunned and didn't even notice that the communicator slipped from his hand.

Outside the observation window, everything Manstein saw was frozen as if a freeze button had been pressed. The violent wind and heavy rain were suspended in the air by an indescribable force, and every irregular raindrop was frozen. Everyone's faces of shock and disbelief were reflected in the air.

I don't know when the Beichuan stopped bumping and parked quietly on the river. This was because the river no longer surged, and the violent wind and rain also disappeared. Or rather, it stopped.

The black storm clouds in the sky no longer stirred and seemed to be fixed like gel. The black vortex was fixed in the air like a work of art. The waterspouts on the river no longer roared with strong winds and collapsed into the river. The flowing Yangtze River was no longer like stagnant water. The flow is lifeless; the celestial phenomena, water conditions, wind direction, and all natural phenomena have been drawn into a picture scroll by the giant hands in the dark, but the picture scroll is only magnificent without any life.

"What happened?" Manstein said in a daze.

"I don't know, but it must have something to do with being underwater." Next to him, the first mate whispered, "The only one who can do this is the Dragon King, right?"

"They should have encountered the Dragon King head-on."
