Chapter 747 Coffin
Constantine's remains.
Manstein had heard about this incident. The person who first discovered the remains of the Dragon King was the execution department at the back-to-school processing site. According to the person at the time, what fell in the center of the Hall of Valor Square was a bronze or almost dark gold skeleton. Like a handicraft made of pure metal, thousands of slender bones are fused and intertwined. The dry wings are spread out behind the back like a fan. The only skeletal arms hold the wing bones backwards, just like the crucified Jesus. On the cross.
Dragon bone cross.
This is the end point for every Dragon King. The principal's theory is correct. The secret of the dragon's true immortality is to create a 'cocoon'. Whenever the end is approaching or they die unexpectedly, their dead bodies and souls will be forced to sleep and be transferred to In the 'cocoon', the consciousness will not die, and the dragon's blood will boil forever.
But Constantine was destined to have no chance to be resurrected. He woke up hastily and died even more hastily. He left thousands of years of history and value in the Dragon Bone Cross. For the secret party and hybrids, his The remains were enough to spark World War III.
If there are no accidents, the Dragon Bone Cross should be hidden in the Well of Annihilation. Some people also call that place the Well of Annihilation. It has nothing to do with the wellhead in front of the rooster statue in the Hall of Valor Square. It is a hole eroded by the underground river at the bottom of the ice cellar. The cave does not rely on Norma's technology for protection, but uses the formation of words and spirits composed of symbols and elements to guard the ultimate alchemy technology.
Any alchemy items and things related to dragon civilization that are judged to be high-risk by the executive department and the school board will be blocked there. Manstein can't think of any place more suitable for storing dragon bone crosses than there. If the bronze coffin really contains the remains of Constantine, does this mean that the academy thousands of miles away has been lost without their knowledge?
This conjecture was put to death by Manstein himself as soon as it came up. After the last attack on Kassel College, the equipment department and the execution department worked together for a long time to upgrade all internal and external defense measures. It is basically impossible for the principal to personally station the college this time and there is no possibility of it falling.
This also caused Manstein to have infinite doubts about Mandy's words. However, the unknown of the bronze coffin and the strange behavior of the corpse guard confirmed the mystery of the contents in the coffin. He didn't know what attitude to take for a while. Face this former student.
Mandy stood the oilcloth torch in her hand on the bronze coffin. The slightest bit of wind would blow the torch over, but fortunately, there was no wind or rain in the center of Kuimen and everything was stagnant, so the torch was able to stay motionless. Stand still.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes on the deck of the Beichuan, Mandy took off from the bronze coffin. With amazing jumping ability, she approached the warship. She grabbed the gangway on the bow of the ship and nimbly climbed onto the deck and climbed over the sides of the ship. The moment he stepped on the deck, several guns were pointed at him.
"Whoa, whoa." Mandy stood firm in a gymnast's landing position, with her hands raised just in the air with innocence written all over her face, "Relax, my old guys, don't get carried away."
"As long as you don't make strange moves, we won't misfire." Zhou Zhen raised his hand to signal the soldiers on the ship to lower their guns, "And is your Chinese translation accent intentional or did your Chinese teacher hire you at a discount? .”
"The Chinese classes at Kassel College are all unified, and he did it on purpose." Manstein said expressionlessly.
"At most, I can only speak with a Henan accent, but I will definitely not have a translation accent." Chu Zihang added lightly. Caesar on the side nodded but suddenly found that Nono, Su Qian and others were looking at him.
"Okay, the translation accent is just for show effect, to liven up the atmosphere."
"Do you want everyone to continue to think that you are still the same funny character, and then stab you in the back without warning?" Chu Zihang asked softly. He observed Mandy on the side of the boat and found that the girl was wearing a standard diving suit. Combat uniform without any insignia or embroidery representing the organization.
"Hey, second grader, don't be so venomous." Mandy lowered her raised hands and turned her eyes to Chu Zihang, Ling and others beside Manstein, "Even if I want to do something bad, you all-star The lineup won't let me succeed, right? The best students from the first to fourth years are all gathered here. If I were still in school, I probably wouldn't be able to get on this ship even if I squeezed my head."
"Because in Norma's file you are only a 'B' class student, but in fact?" Manstein asked in a low voice.
"Actually, I'm also a 'B' grade, just a little more well-trained." Mandy said seriously.
"I don't think a 'B' level hybrid can use a word spirit like 'Commandment'. Mandy, stop telling lies. You have let down enough people." Manstein whispered.
"I know, I know." Mandy's face remained unchanged, looking at the many pairs of eyes in front of her, "I have done all kinds of bad things, and I am unforgivable, but can't you give me a chance to change my ways? For example, this time .”
"Then tell me what you want to do, Mandy, and what is in the coffin? Constantine's bones cannot appear here. You and I both know this. No one can touch the dragon bone cross. The principal has hidden him in a place that no one knows, even now he is protecting him without leaving home, just to prevent unknown people like you from coveting him." Manstein asked bluntly in a deep voice.
"But these are really the remains of Constantine. You can't possibly let me open the coffin and show it to you, right?" Mandy said helplessly.
"The outer bronze coffin is a set of coffins. There should be another coffin inside, and the dragon rope is used to hold the coffin. The inner coffin should have a more important sealing method, right? In any case, this is a 'lavish burial', even if it is not the Dragon King The dragon bone cross must be full of evil things. At least with his own existence, he can suppress these corpse guards made by Norton himself." Zhou Zhen held the broken dragon platform and looked at a coffin with a torch on the river. and the human snake white shadow floating below, "You brought this kind of thing here, don't you think the situation here is not chaotic enough?"
"Only in chaos can you survive from desperate situations. If you follow the rules honestly, you will be dead." Mandy sighed softly, "And I'm not here to ask for cooperation with you this time. I'm just simply asking for cooperation." Came to inform you.”
"Inform us?" Caesar asked.
"This coffin has arrived directly above Baidi City. It will sink under the river soon. The corpse guards are still very stable until now, but as time goes by, sooner or later they will be unable to resist the temptation of the contents inside. They will attack the coffin and do their best to dig out the contents and eat them. All you need to do is to protect the coffin and sink it until it sinks in front of the Bronze City. As long as the distance reaches a certain level, Norton will naturally sense it and be attracted by him. come out."
There was some commotion on the deck for a while, but Caesar suddenly said, "What if we let it go? This is the trouble you caused and has nothing to do with us."
"The corpse guard will dismantle the coffin and the coffin inside and devour everything inside. You should also know what will happen to things like the corpse guard once they are involved in a large amount of blood food." Mandy said.
"They will evolve, just like Deadpool hunts hybrids out of instinct. Genes similar to dragons will complement their nearly collapsed gene chain, allowing them to infinitely evolve towards pure-blood dragons, but they will never be able to cross the line. That line." Chu Zihang replied from the crowd.
"As expected of the student of the Minister of the Executive Department." Mandy glanced at Chu Zihang and nodded with satisfaction, "You probably wouldn't have thought that before the Dragon King was solved, there would be a group of dragons comparable to the fourth or even third generation species. Creatures are rampant in the Yangtze River, right? If that scene really happens, no matter what happens to Norton today, this group of evolved corpse guards will turn the entire Yangtze River coast into a no-man's land."
"Are you threatening us? You have brought us a huge hidden danger!" Manstein finally understood, his blood was rising, and he stared at Mandy, "Last time you will Many people have been put in danger, will you make the same mistake again this time? Do you deserve the lives of those innocent people who died?"
Mandy stared at Manstein from a distance. There was a condensed raindrop between the student and the instructor. One side was silent and the other was angry. Maybe Zhou Zhen and the others didn't know the meaning of the so-called 'last time', but they were stuck. But almost all the people at our college had experienced that incident and knew how bitter and heavy this accusation and questioning was.
"I will not deny the lives lost because of me. No matter what, they died because of me." Mandy said after being quiet for a long time, "But this time is different. This coffin is not a hidden danger." She stared at Manstein and was furious. The face looked directly into those light gray eyes. If the instructor was angry in the past, this naughty girl would whistle and look away, but today she stared at the old man and said, "This is an opportunity." , a great opportunity for everyone to kill Norton. Regardless of whether you believe that the remains of Constantine are buried in the coffin, once the coffin sinks into the river, Norton will give up all the arranged killing plots and step in like crazy. Your traps and the storm torpedoes under your cabin will also have a chance to hit the target. Instead of like now, the whole ship is standing on the deck doing nothing, sitting and watching the victory come, hoping that the goddess of luck will favor the mixed race again. .”
"You should know what you are asking us to do now." Zhou Zhen stood up and looked at this girl who was a stranger to him and did not know her details, and said without any personal emotions, "You are intimidating her in a semi-threatening way. We protect a dangerous item that we don't even know about, but is known to be associated with dragons, to seduce and anger the Dragon King."
"Your purpose is to anger the Dragon King, isn't it?" Mandy asked.
"But definitely not in this way. If we forcefully open the coffin now to check the contents of the contents, what will you do?" Zhou Zhen suddenly turned to look at the coffin on the river and asked.
"You can't," Mandy said.
This sentence also caused the atmosphere on the deck to suddenly become stagnant. The soldiers' fingers were close to the triggers of the firearms and their muscles tightened. Everyone in Cassel Academy also held their breath and stared at the lonely Mandy on the side of the ship.
"I'm afraid some things are not decided by you alone. You should be here alone, right?" Zhou Zhen looked at Mandy, who was wearing a submarine uniform, indifferently.
"I think you're not the real one talking about this ship now, right?" Mandy looked at Zhou Zhen with a smile, "Since you took the 'Dragon Broken Platform' (the previous chapter has been corrected) to the battlefield, doesn't it mean that you have Are you ready to die? If even the Dragon King can't come to see you, how can you talk about a heroic sacrifice? Or are you worried about the moment when you really need to sacrifice your life to pull out the 'Dragon Broken Platform', so you are afraid to let that happen? A moment that actually happened?”
"There is no point in provoking generals. Even the Broken Dragon Platform knows it. It's hard for me not to doubt your true origin." Zhou Zhen stared at Mandy and became more and more suspicious of the identity of this blond girl.
"Then let's put it this way," Mandy said, "If you insist on opening the coffin now, everyone here including me will die here."
"Didn't you say that the remains of Constantine were buried in the coffin? Dragon Bone Cross will not wake up and kill people. Your words have begun to contradict yourself." Manstein frowned.
"Professor, this is the dragon bone cross of the Dragon King. There are too many secrets of the dragon clan that humans have not yet discovered. Isn't the tragedy of 'Summer Mourning' representative enough?" Mandy said lightly, "If you really want to do this Do it, I can’t stop you, because there are so many of you, I really can’t stop you, but I hope you can give me an escape boat to let me get out of here before you decide to open it, I’m still young and don’t want to die here.”
"If we give you an escape boat, can you come and go with the coffin?" Susie said suddenly.
"Hey, I already told you that this is Constantine's remains. You really dare to let me take him away. Can the secret party bear this loss?" Mandy raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "And I guess if I really turn around with the coffin, you and the girl from the student union next to you will probably stay far away and blow my head off with a sniper rifle?"
Nuonuo held the sniper rifle and whistled sideways. No one could tell what it meant.
"Now that the coffin has been delivered to the end, of course there is no reason to look back. This is not a package that can be returned without reason within seven days. This is the real killer weapon against the Dragon King." Mandy looked at the torch wrapped in oilcloth on the coffin. Said, "We don't have much time to hesitate. The corpse guards seem to be very patient now, but their bloodlust will eventually overwhelm their awe and respect for the keel cross in the coffin."
"Really cunning and treacherous." Caesar also raised his eyebrows and commented.
"She has always been this kind of guy." Manstein took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and said with an expressionless face. This was also a pertinent evaluation from the instructor to the student.
"So now, what are you going to do?" Mandy raised her hand to catch a raindrop frozen in the air and asked.
After a moment of silence, Manstein stared at Mandy and said, "We need time to consider how to deal with this coffin...and how to deal with you!"
