Chapter 270 Kuimen Pass
That morning.
Natsumi took a long-distance bus and arrived at the small county town where Uchiha Hikaru temporarily settled.
"Sister Guang!"
As soon as he saw Uchiha Hikaru, Xia Mi immediately waved, then rushed up to her very affectionately, stretched out his arms and gave her a virtual hug: "Long time no see!"
"...Long time no see, Xiaomi."
Uchiha Hikaru also smiled and responded.
It's been a long time indeed.
Compared to the last time we met half a year ago.
Xia Mi's appearance has not changed much. He still has the same fair and bright face, as perfect as a monster, but his hair is slightly longer. Wearing a white silk T-shirt and denim shorts, it highlights her slender waist and legs, making her look quite eye-catching. He was carrying a large backpack on his shoulders, looking like a student traveling during the summer vacation.
that is……
"Did you come here by long-distance bus just now?"
"...Yes. I originally wanted to rent a car, but the price was a bit expensive, so I took the bus here first. There are many tourist routes in this area, and it's quite convenient."
"oh……"
Listening to Xia Ya's explanation, Uchiha Hikaru was noncommittal.
Why do you feel that this little dragon girl seems a bit...poor?
Theoretically, with the power held by the Dragon King, it would be easy to make a fortune in the real world. Even if you don't want to be too ostentatious, you can still get a small sum of 1.8 million to subsidize your family. But Xia Mi seems to be a special case. In most cases, he abides by the rules of human society more than real humans.
It can only be said that there are still disadvantages to being an experiential actor.
If Xia Mi hadn't been too deeply involved in the original plot, with her so-called "strongest next generation" strength, she would have been able to easily defeat Chu Zihang, who had suffered three bloodbaths, instead of being stabbed by him. die.
the other side.
Xia Ya looked at Eriki and Esdeath, with a searching look in her beautiful eyes.
"This must be Miss Eri, she is worthy of being the chosen one by Sister Hikaru."
"Who is this……"
"Esdeath, my other companion."
Uchiha Hikaru explained in time.
In front of Xia Mi, there is no need to make up the lie of "the king of ocean and water".
After all, this statement only deceives those human hybrids who don't know the truth. Xia Mi and "Water King" are brothers and sisters from the same father, and they may not have seen each other for thousands of years. Unless Esdeath really gets the power of "Water King", this lie will be exposed in minutes, and even Uchiha Hikaru's identity as "White King" will be questioned.
Of course……
Uchiha Hikaru is not afraid of revealing the fact that he is an imposter.
But when it comes to acting, it’s better to do it more realistically, which will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.
"……Understood."
Xia Mi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Next.
The two sides began to discuss Constantine's affairs.
"I've already gone to Baidi City to see it."
The speaker was Xia Mi: "According to observations, the 'Bronze City' cast by Norton was in the underwater fissure in that area and sank to the bottom of the river due to the earthquake. Cassel College doesn't know where it got this information. According to the intelligence, a group of people were sent to investigate. At present, they have basically locked the location of the 'Bronze City', and may soon send people to salvage it..."
In fact, Xia Mi does not need to tell this part of the information.
Uchiha Hikaru himself knew very well——
This operation at Kassel College was named the "Kuimen Project" and was headed by Professor Manns. Ye Sheng, Jiude Aki, Selma and others participated as operatives.
The first two of them will die in this operation, but Constantine's skeletal bottle will be taken back to the academy headquarters as their "relic" to induce Old Tang - that is, another Fire Lord Norton An introduction to recovery.
so……
"So, Sister Guang, are we going to snatch them away?"
Xia Mi carefully observed Uchiha Hikari's expression and asked cautiously: "Let's not talk about Norton for now. Constantine is relatively easy to get along with among the Dragon Kings and can be our ally...if he falls into the hands of the Secret Party. , then if we try to take him back, it might be a little troublesome. "
certainly……
It's just a little troublesome.
If it were the original Xia Mi, without sufficient preparation, he might choose to lie dormant at this time to avoid exposing his existence to Kassel and even other human hybrid forces in advance, which would attract some Unnecessary twists and turns.
But now, with the noble "White King" as his companion, Xia Mi still feels quite safe. He is confident that even if he really goes to Kassel Academy to rob it, he can snatch the bone bottle.
"Well……"
Uchiha Hikari pondered for a moment.
In fact, what she wanted more was Norton's blood sample.
Because the situation of the "Fire King" twins is very similar to Xia Mi and Fenrir. They are also an older brother with some brains and a weak child younger brother... Even Constantine has just recovered from the cocoon. His IQ was even lower than that of Fenrir, so much so that he was shot in the head by Angers in collaboration with Lu Mingfei, and his death was even worse than that of Xia Mi.
Although it is said that Xia Mi is the "strongest second-generation species", if we rank all the first-generation species in terms of strength, then the weakest one is probably Constantine...
but……
Norton can't wake up for a while, and Uchiha Guang doesn't even know where he is. Maybe he has to go to Lu Mingfei or Angers to ask.
Then using Constantine as a meal replacement can barely make do.
"Then do as you say, Xiao Mi."
Uchiha Guang moved his shoulders and neck: "I have a question, can you open the door of the 'Bronze City'?"
"Bronze City" is said to be a city built by Norton, the eldest brother of the four kings and eight twins. It is a miracle of alchemy. Under normal circumstances, even S-level hybrids cannot enter it. Kassel Academy relied on the "key", that is, the blood of Chen Motong's younger brother, to open its door.
And Xia Mi...
"I haven't tried it, but it should work."
Xia Mi's tone was a little uncertain.
"...Try it."
Uchiha Guang didn't care.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, she can wait for Kassel to get Constantine out, and then snatch it from them. At that time, saving Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, the unfortunate couple, would be a reward for what they have done. Two lives in exchange for a Dragon King, Cassel would not be dissatisfied.
That night.
Uchiha Guang got a black car and took Xia Mi and his party to the Kuimen Pass area where the "Bronze City" was located.
"By the way... Sister Guang, have you taken the Chinese driver's license?"
On the way, Xia Mi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked.
"Hmm? Driver's license? Of course not."
"?!"
Xia Mi was stunned: "What if we are stopped by the traffic police? This area is an accident-prone area, and the police often arrange personnel to conduct random checks at the intersections."
"...You are the Dragon King, are you afraid of this?"
Uchiha Guang glanced at Xia Mi with a strange look, and then smiled slightly at the latter's speechless expression: "Don't worry, you just need to sit there and I will take care of the rest... Even if we really encounter a driver's license check, we can easily get away with it."
At most, just throw the moon reading over, and there will be no problem.
"...Okay."
Xia Mi stopped talking, just sat quietly in the passenger seat, and occasionally looked at Esdeath in the back seat with the rearview mirror.
Esdeath was also looking at her.
——Xia Mi was guessing the other party's identity. After all, as the Dragon King, she could still roughly feel that Esdeath's aura was not bad, but she didn't know how strong the latter was.
Esdeath was concerned about another thing——
[Ice Queen: Is this woman named Xia Mi really your sister? They don’t look alike, but the relationship between you two seems very close. ]
[Nameless: Well, you can roughly understand her as a sister, the kind of sworn brother. ]
[Ice Queen: …Then can I fight with her? ]
[Nameless: Do you mean sparring? Wait a minute, wait until we confirm the situation at Kuimen Pass. ]
[……]
Chatting.
Uchiha Hikaru drove a black car at lightning speed along the provincial road all the way to the vicinity of Kuimen Pass. Along the way, there was indeed an intersection where a traffic police officer checked the car, but with a glance from Uchiha Hikaru, the other party ignored her, an unlicensed driver who looked obviously underage, and let them pass.
“That’s it.”
On a high riverbank.
Uchiha Hikaru stopped the car, then opened the door and jumped out.
Xia Mi and others also got off the car. The former tapped his heels, put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance for a while, then pointed in a certain direction and turned back to speak to Uchiha Guang.
Because it was night and far away, it was difficult to see the river surface over there clearly from here.
But the sound of the turbulent water could be heard clearly from a few miles away, and occasionally when the moonlight passed by, a few groups of shimmering reflections could be seen.
"... That's the 'Kuimen', also known as the 'Qutang Pass'. In ancient times, it was a place of contention for military strategists, but now because of the construction of a reservoir, most of the ruins have been submerged and are no longer as spectacular as they used to be... A few days ago, when I was diving there, I saw a pure-blooded dragon, who should be the guardian of the 'Bronze City'."
Xia Mi explained the information at hand conscientiously.
"Samson, right?"
Uchiha Guang understood.
This one is the dragon servant of the "Fire King", a third-generation dragon of noble bloodline, and the dragon that killed Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki in the original plot.
In addition...
"The Moniach in Cassel is also in this area now, right?"
Perhaps, we can go over and take a look first?
