Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 64 Blue Bird (VI)
"The Black Dragon Emperor Nidhogg is the only ancestor of the dragon clan. The word "Emperor" is the highest word that he uses to rule his descendants. All his descendants will feel the call of the Dragon Emperor when they hear this word, unless Lu Mingfei has no dragon bloodline at all, or she is not a descendant of Nidhogg." The biggest characteristic of the old scholar is that they are very calm even when faced with unexpected things. Compared to shaking their heads stupidly and saying that this is absolutely impossible, Manstein is more inclined to quickly think about the possibilities behind the problem.
"If she doesn't have the bloodline, how can she use the Word Spirit? You and I both saw that the invisible blade of light cut through the bullet shot by Nono, otherwise Lu Mingfei should have been knocked down at that moment and lost the right to participate in the Free Day." Guderian said, "I think she definitely has the bloodline, not only because the principal rated her as S-level, but also because she could look Chu Zihang in the eye and shoot without hesitation. Ordinary humans cannot face the golden eyes of the dragon race."
"Then we need some evidence to prove our inference." Manstein put a copper scroll sealed in a cylindrical quartz bottle on the table. "Your student Finkel has posted the news of Lu Mingfei ignoring the Emperor's words on the Night Watch forum. It was because of this news that I came to the library with the same idea as you."
"He's really quick..." Guderian scratched his head.
"As a paparazzi, speed is the most important thing. Perhaps Fingel can always get first place in the running track competition, as long as he is willing to participate." Manstein said lightly, "Ice Sea Fragment AD0099, I have found the information you need."
"This is a top secret document!" Guderian was surprised.
Part of the Ice Sea Fragments have been made public and placed on the top floor of the library for research. The other part, which is the original Ice Sea Fragments with English numbers, has been completely deciphered and is stored in the ice cellar of Kassel College, where there are a large number of alchemical equipment related to the dragon clan from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, which is equivalent to the vault of Kassel College.
"The oldest secrets are of course hidden in the oldest documents." Manstein said, "Not all dragon bloodlines are subservient to Nidhogg. There is a large group of dragons who do not obey Nidhogg's call, and of course they will not respond to the Emperor."
"The White King." Guderian whispered, "He possesses the only other Word Spirit that can restrain the Word Spirit [Emperor]. After betraying the Black Emperor, the White King used [Oracle] on all his descendants. As the king who is best at mind control among the dragons, [Oracle] can definitely eliminate the fear that Nidhogg has buried in his descendants. Unless Lu Mingfei is possibly a descendant of the White King, I can't think of any other explanation."
"So far, we have never found any descendants of the White King. The rebellion of the White King was the largest rebellion in the history of the dragon race. About one-third of the dragon race became rebels. After suppressing the rebellion, the Black King wrote his victory on the bronze pillar that supports the sky, which is the ice sea fragment we found in Greenland. Various facts show that all the dragons to whom the White King belongs have been executed, and their descendants cannot have survived to this day." Manstein said, "But can a king really be killed so easily? For thousands of years, we have been constantly fighting against the resurrected monarchs and repeatedly sending them to hell, but how many years later will they come back again? The dragon race is the ultimate on the tree of evolution, an existence beyond cognition. If I were the Black King, I would of course say that the White King's rebels have been completely wiped out, but is there a possibility? The Black King does not have the ability to completely kill the White King. He just buried the White King in exchange for a thousand years of peace."
"If this is the case, then the White King is still somewhere in the world. The White King is the one who is close to humans. Perhaps it is because of this that he was able to preserve his very few descendants." Guderian's eyes were vicissitudes and distant, as if he had returned to the ancient times. "At that time, he should have made a deal with humans, using the power of the dragon clan to exchange for the remnants of the White King's bloodline."
"Don't be silly. The White King will never help humans easily." Manstein took out his pipe and lit it. "The hatred between the dragons and humans is far greater than the hatred between the Black King and the White King. In the eyes of the dragons, humans are greedy and weak creatures who covet the dragons' golden history and skills. As early as the ancient times, people have been constantly rebelling, ambushing and killing the dragons. That is a fate buried deep in blood. It is impossible for them to sit at the same table and talk by candlelight at night. The White King may use the power of humans to make up for his failure when he is down and out, but he will never sympathize with humans. He will only use humans. People in that era wanted to get the things of the dragons too much."
"In fact, we are not complete human beings either..." Guderian sighed.
The hybrids are born as humans, but at the same time possess some of the dragon's bloodline and power. In the distant past, countless people yearned for the powerful and beautiful life of the dragon. Many of them set out on roads across thousands of miles of ice fields and snow-capped mountains, trying to sneak into the dragon's territory to get a glimpse of the mysterious power.
After countless failures, one man succeeded. A dragon made a deal with him, requiring him to pay tribute of countless treasures and gold and silver ores, then he would be willing to share the power of the dragon clan with humans.
This was undoubtedly a betrayal of the dragons. The proud dragons had always treated humans as slaves, and there was no such thing as equality in their dictionary. Humans did not understand why he did this, but were just ecstatic So hundreds of carts quietly drove across the ice field at night and were placed at the designated location under the cover of the blizzard, along with many outstanding human girls.
The dragon brought dragon bloodline , and thus a new era of human history began in which people acquired dragon bloodline. These were the earliest hybrids.
The bloodline genes of the dragon race are very strong. Any creature that gets their genes will develop and mutate in the direction of the dragon race, and will not become sparse due to intergenerational transmission. There will even be a situation where the next generation is stronger than the previous one. Most of the earliest hybrids were very unstable. They degenerated into deadpools after a short time. Only a very small number of children could grow up to be human beings with sound reason. These children continued to be selected to marry and have children, and the number of hybrids continued to expand. The children born had to be locked in cages and taken care of by special people as soon as they were born. Those who cried and screamed were given food and water, and those who were furious and tried to rush out and bite everything were killed through the cage. In this way, the bloodline of the hybrids gradually stabilized.
At that time, the dragons had not yet discovered the secrets of humans, because not long after the secret transaction, a civil war broke out between the black and white kings in the dragon clan. The white king used the [Oracle] to cleanse the black king's control over all his descendants and led the entire army to rebel against the black king's rule. Storms raged in the sky of the ice field, thunder and lightning flew, the power of the elements increased and decreased, and the blood-colored dark clouds obscured the already few sunlight. For a time, even the corpses of ancient dragons were often seen on human land, and those would be taken back by the dragons. Despite this, some people still took the opportunity to obtain the remains of the dragon corpses, some of which were horns, some were claws, and some were scales. Later, these things became a huge contribution to the study of dragons and the production of weapons that could kill dragons.
It was not until the middle of the war that humans realized that the tribute of wealth and minerals had been used to make weapons. The powerful dragons could cancel each other's words, and only swords could decide the outcome of the war between dragons. The damaged weapons in the war fell into the hands of humans. While people marveled at the superb forging skills of the dragons, they also imitated them. Many years later, in the battle to kill Nidhogg, the dragons were surprised to find that the weapons used by humans were actually their own.
It is unknown who the dragon was that first traded with humans. Perhaps he died in that epic war. Such secrets will not be kept in the archives, but will only be passed down by word of mouth among the core people. Therefore, Manstein's speculation is not unreasonable. The dragons look down on humans and think they are cowardly and greedy. However, they cannot deny that humans are numerous and creative, and can help dragons in some ways, so the dragons will not give up enslaving humans.
If the White King had reached the end of defeat in that war, and faced the thorny bronze pillar prepared by the Black King, it would not be impossible for him to leave a cocoon that could revive him to humans, and promise to use his own bloodline and power in exchange for recovery many years later.
Now these are just speculations and lack of historical evidence. However, if we assume that everything is correct, then Lu Mingfei's behavior is logical. Because she has the bloodline of the White King, she will not submit to the Black King. Because she is a descendant of the White King, she controls the words that have never appeared on the Black King's side before.
"We should put Lu Mingfei under house arrest temporarily." Manstein finally asserted, "She is the first descendant of the White King we have found, and it is necessary to study her. On the Ice Sea Copper Pillar, the White King is described as a tyrannical monarch who once said, 'Dye the silver throne red with the blood of the untouchables.' The descendants of the Black King are already stable, but who knows how the descendants of the White King will treat humans? If Lu Mingfei's White King bloodline is fully awakened, she may very well become our enemy. Even Chu Zihang's golden dragon pupil cannot suppress her. Her potential is unparalleled. Who dares to let her live in this academy? Waiting for a awakened Tyrannosaurus to kill everyone one day in the future, repeating the tragedy of the summer mourning in Kassel Manor?"
"Just because of our assumptions, we lock a freshman in her own dormitory?" Guderian was incredulous. "What will others think?"
"It doesn't matter what others think. What matters is the whole of Kassel." Manstein whispered, "I will write a report and give it to the principal now. You make the call."
He fished his cell phone out of his pocket, dialed the principal's number, and handed it to Guderian.
Manstein has always been a man of action and decisiveness, otherwise he would not have become the discipline committee member of Kassel. While Guderian was still hesitating, the phone was dialed.
"Hello, Manstein." The deep and gentle voice sounded like that of a typical European gentleman, but he spoke in standard Chinese.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Guderian." Guderian glanced at Manstein who was typing. "There are some things we have to explain to you about Lu Mingfei."
"Are you talking about the fact that she has no sympathy for the Emperor?" There was a faint smile in the principal's voice. "Although I am far away in China, I am always paying attention to the Night Watch Forum."
"Yes, Professor Manstein and I discussed all night and agreed that Lu Mingfei might be a descendant of the White King. Considering that the safety of this descendant has not been confirmed, and Lu Mingfei is suspected of using an unknown word spirit during her free day, she might be very dangerous."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Put her under house arrest and forbid her to leave the academy until we can confirm her parentage."
"We are a college, not a crazy human research institute. We will not do anything inhumane." The principal said, "Maybe she will be a humanoid Tyrannosaurus in the future, but she looks normal now, doesn't she? She knocked down Caesar and Chu Zihang on the first day of school. She is very cute and beautiful, a young girl who makes flowers bloom wherever she goes. It is not a gentleman's act to throw a girl into a research room where there is no sunlight. As long as she is normal now, we should not do anything unnecessary."
"But if something goes wrong in the future, how are we going to explain it to the school board?"
"If you're really worried, you can just find someone to watch her. If she grows horns on her head, just shoot her." The principal sounded like he was joking, but also serious. "Isn't Finger a good fit? He's your student, and he's also the top paparazzi that Cassel is proud of."
Ange was always so casual, and many times Guderian couldn't judge which of Ange's words he should take seriously, so he had to hold the phone in silence.
"Relax, Professor Guderian." Principal Ange continued, "Cassel is no longer the Cassel of the past. In the past, we were an army and trained well-trained soldiers. But the soldiers were defeated in Greenland. The huge loss forced me to rethink the educational policy. Maybe the war with the dragons does not require an army, but a genius. The Only One, a unique genius, a leader, she must be strong enough and confident enough to make the dragon kings afraid of her. Just one such person is enough, just like my friend Menek Cassel!"
"You mean, Lu Mingfei is the Only One?" Guderian asked.
"There is a reason why she is S-rank. In fact, I don't know Lu Mingfei well enough to know what she can do, but I think we need to give her enough freedom to let her develop. The birth of a genius requires space." Principal Ange said, "She may be that genius, or she may just be an ordinary half-blood. At least her current performance does look promising. Not being able to resonate with the Emperor means that she cannot pass the 3E exam. Maybe you can talk to Norma and think of a way to help her. Remember, don't let her find out."
