Chapter 281 Can I keep a panda?
In the original plot, after Constantine was transported back to Kassel College, Old Tang accepted Lu Mingze's commission to sneak in, met him and witnessed his death in front of him, and then he awakened and became "Dragon King Norton".
Although now, Constantine was cut off early by Uchiha Hikaru.
But with Lu Mingze's methods, it seems that there are other ways to make Old Tang awaken smoothly.
Uchiha Hikari did not ask Lu Mingze what he planned to do in detail, but just mentioned the reason for his coming here: "I heard that Norton once created an alchemical weapon called 'Seven Deadly Sins', and wanted to use it to kill His seven brothers and sisters, and that thing was sealed by him in this 'Bronze City'... Is that so?"
"...Is this what you're talking about?"
Lu Mingze was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and waved.
Accompanied by a wave of air.
A rectangular box with a simple shape appeared on the ground made of bronze.
Then, Lu Mingze gently tapped the groove on it, and there was only a "click" sound. The groove opened, and the parts inside were spread out in a fan shape. There were seven swords of different shapes - —From the heavy sword made in the shape of a zanma sword, to the curved-edged Atkan long sword, to the quaint straight-edged sword, to the wakizashi that is only as long as the forearm... Each sword has complex and profound patterns on it. Dark golden light flows on the edge of the blade.
"Oh~"
Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes slightly.
It’s time to say it or not.
The appearance of "Seven Deadly Sins" is really cool.
These seven knives correspond to famous knives from all over the world, and each one corresponds to a crime. Because it was made by Norton himself, the lines of the blade are more concise and refined than any human-made weapon, just like a set of works of art.
——I just don’t know whether the appearance of these swords is original to Norton or plagiarized from the human world. If it's the former, then the aesthetics of this "King of Bronze and Fire" are quite online.
the other side.
Lu Mingze raised his chin: "How about it, do you want to try it?"
"May I?"
Hikari Uchiha asked.
After getting Lu Mingze's approval, she walked up and tried to pull out the knife.
Hmm...can't pull it out.
This is also normal.
According to the setting, "Seven Deadly Sins" has its own bloodline detection system. Only hybrids with blood purity of A level or above, and pure-blood dragons can extract it. Uchiha Hikaru does not meet this condition.
However, any restriction has its upper limit.
If the strength is "enough", it should not be impossible to use brute force to break it violently, and then pull out the "Seven Deadly Sins" as a non-dragon blood descendant. But as a weak woman with a delicate body, Uchiha Hikari obviously did not have that level of strength.
"……Pity."
"This is 100 million US dollars..."
Uchiha Hikaru sighed, and put away the idea of "selling the 'Seven Deadly Sins' to Cassel College for a large amount of money" that was swirling in his mind, and then said in a lazy tone: "If there is nothing else to talk about, then let's say goodbye here first. Let's go. You go deal with Norton's matter and don't forget to leave some of his blood samples for me."
"good."
Lu Mingze's figure twisted, and then gradually disappeared in the air.
——This guy, like Namikaze Minato, is in the spirit form, and his true body is in the former site of the sealed Black Swan Port. Therefore, there is no need to go in and out of the "Bronze City" through the door guarded by living beings.
But Uchiha Hikaru could only walk back by himself.
On the way back.
She roughly searched through the remaining rooms and courtyards in the "Bronze City" and found several volumes of ancient books written by Han officials, presumably left by Norton, who was still "Li Xiong" back then.
There are also some simple cup ornaments.
Anyway, these were already ownerless things, so she simply pocketed them all, planning to take them back and study them to see if there was any record of "alchemy". If there is one, you can think about it with Kikyo and Namikaze Minato. If not, there is no harm in just treating it as a collection.
…
That night.
Uchiha Hikaru took Eri Yi and others to a nearby city to experience the local Sichuan-style hot pot.
For Esdeath and Eri, this is a unique way to eat.
Among them, Erika, a Japanese girl with a light taste, choked on the hot sauce in the soup. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and fan herself with her little hands.
On the contrary, Esdeath looked calmer and remained calm throughout.
certainly……
Just "looks".
If you observe carefully, you will find that Esdeath drinks water very quickly, and also uses the "Devil's Essence" ability from time to time to manually add ice cubes to herself.
"What's wrong?"
Esdeath quietly chewed a few ice cubes, swallowed them, and then turned to look at Uchiha Hikaru next to her.
"...No, it's nothing."
Uchiha Hikaru smiled, and then handed over the juice in his hand: "Give me some too."
"?"
Although he was a little confused, Esdeath still snapped his fingers, causing a few pieces of ice to freeze out of thin air in the juice. This scene made Xia Mi on the side look envious: "Speaking of which, what is Sister Ace's speech spirit? This ability to create ice instantly without even chanting dragon inscriptions is so convenient. ”
"Well, for now, you can think of her as a hybrid of the 'Water King' lineage. As for the specific identity... I will tell you when necessary."
Uchiha Hikaru explained a little vaguely.
"……All right."
Xia Mi pursed her lips and did not ask further questions.
the following few days.
Uchiha Hikari stayed in the Sichuan-Sichuan area and took Eriki and Esdeath to visit nearby attractions.
Three Gorges, Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain, Panda Base...
Not to mention Esdeath and the two of them, this was the first time for Uchiha Hikari to come to these places.
On the contrary, Xia Mi looked like he was familiar with the road. He planned a travel route very skillfully and then led them around.
"Well, I spent some time in a travel agency during the summer vacations of the past two years, so I am very familiar with these processes. Moreover, I visited the Three Gorges area a few months ago when I visited the area, and I can help you as a tour guide. It’s not a big problem.”
Xia Mi said with pride.
Too.
This "next-generation" dragon king is quite dedicated in imitating humans, and because he is a dragon, he has the ability to move far beyond ordinary people. He has done enough preparations and is easy to understand.
While visiting the Panda Base.
Eriki tugged at the corner of Uchiha Hikari's clothes, then raised the small notebook under her gaze, and asked her seriously if she could adopt a giant panda cub and take it back to Japan to raise.
"?"
Raising pandas?
Uchiha Hikari turned his head and glanced at the naive black and white bears in the protection base, and hesitated for a moment: "Yeah... it's not impossible."
Theoretically, pandas cannot be kept as pets.
However, this problem can essentially be solved using cash capabilities.
The Sheqi family can even raise things like "Snake-shaped Deadpool" in batches, so a few iron-eating beasts are naturally no problem. Even though this thing belongs to the "bear" family, and its catching and biting ability is relatively advanced among bears, but if it really comes to hand-to-hand combat, it may not be able to beat the seemingly weak Eri.
but……
It should be no problem to beat Caesar Gattuso, after all, the latter has a glorious record of being defeated by polar bears...
During this time.
Uchiha Hikaru didn't deliberately pay attention to Cassel's movements, so he didn't know how Lu Mingze's plan was progressing. Since the other party has not taken the initiative to contact her, it is estimated that the operation against Norton has not been completed yet.
On the other hand, the Sheki Hachi Family received two calls from Eriko, one from Uesugi Koshi and another from Minamoto Chiaki, asking about her recent situation.
Of course……
Eriki couldn't speak, so when she answered the phone, Uchiha Hikari stood by and was responsible for helping her relay the two phone calls written in a small notebook.
During this process.
Yuan Zhisheng mentioned something about Tokyo:
"Recently, the principal...Hilbert Jean Angers of Kassel College has made several phone calls, saying that he wants to come to Japan in person to meet with the Sheqi family. Do you think...do you agree? , or reject him?"
"Oh? Angers is coming?"
Uchiha Hikari raised an eyebrow.
Thinking about it, this was the purpose of these phone calls between Minamoto and Uesugi. In other words, she was asked to decide on matters related to Angers.
In the original work, Anger did go to Sheqi Bajia, but that was Long San—that is, in 2011. Moreover, the main reason why the latter started that trip was that the Japanese branch betrayed the Kassel headquarters, and the Lu Mingfei trio had lost contact, so as one of the leaders of the secret party and an old gangster, he had to Go to Japan Town in person.
And now...
"It seems that Cassel has also found some clues."
Uchiha Hikaru thought so in his heart, but his face showed no expression: "This is a matter between you and Cassel, you can decide it yourself. Whether we meet or not, tell me something after it is confirmed It turned out great.”
Speaking of which...
Uchiha Hikaru had wanted to meet Ange before and see the latter's speech spirit "Time Zero".
but now.
With a higher-quality trading partner like Lu Mingze, "time zero" is not so important. If I remember correctly, Lu Mingze also had a similar ability in his hand - the same ability he used when he froze the roller coaster at Liupanshan Amusement Park during Long Er's period - from what he saw, it should be the same.
present.
Uchiha Hikaru stretched and looked at the mahjong table in front of her - this was something she had just started playing with Eriki and the others in the past two days:
"Relax for two more days and then go back to Tokyo for a visit."
