Chapter 556 The Last Brother of the Kings
The return journey was much easier than Lu Mingfei had imagined. No strange power appeared again, and the "destruction" that occupied the body of the Lord of the Sky did not appear in any other form.
Until he stepped onto the concrete floor, Lu Mingfei looked up at the familiar night view of the city and sighed softly: "It's great to be back."
The world behind the door is very magical. Whether it is the Xia Kingdom, which is similar to the ancient feudal dynasty of China but seems a little magical because of the introduction of mechanical technology; or the Papal States, which is a country based on religion but also possesses mobile armor, and is also the birthplace of mechanical technology; they all seem to be telling about other possibilities of civilization.
There is diversity in the world, and he knew this when he learned about Izanami's escape plan.
However, the world that Izanami is planning to escape to has very little similarity with this world... If you really look into it, there may only be some differences in gender.
In terms of novelty, it is far inferior to the civilization that is clearly in the Middle Ages but has developed mechanical technology that is extremely similar to the modern technology of this world.
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's expression became a little strange. Just like Chu Yumei corresponds to Chu Zihang, Lucrecia corresponds to Caesar, and Figel corresponds to Fingel, is there a world where Lu Mingfei corresponds to...
Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively and threw away this rather bad idea. This was something that could not be thought about too much.
Even though he had an evolutionary level far beyond that of the other kings and had witnessed a magical world like the one behind the door, such thoughts still made his head hurt, as if it was not enough.
Without thinking about it anymore, Lu Mingfei took a few steps closer and looked at Su Nan, who seemed to have been away for a while. Then he suddenly realized something - he entered the door from the Mediterranean Sea, and he shouldn't have returned here directly.
Moreover, it seemed that he was the only one who came back here, and the girls were not with him.
He checked his location and was surprised to find that he was on the top floor of the Lijing Hotel. Clear footsteps came from behind him, and Lu Mingfei looked back. Luo Na did not get separated from him this time.
"Old Tang... no, it's Ruo Dun." Lu Mingfei quickly recognized the person in front of him.
"...It's me." Ruoton answered, and for some reason, those golden eyes that should have been noble showed some sadness... and self-blame.
In the world behind the door, the enraged Constance almost chased the reflection of the Lord of the Sky around the planet.
The Lord of the Sky, who was only a reflection, could not be a match for the furious Bronze and Fire Kings, but he was cunning and fast enough. The injuries on his body that Xizel saw were not fake. He really used himself as bait and endured Constance's bombardment.
It was also because the injury was real that Constance believed that the guy she was chasing was the real thing. No one knew when the Lord of the Sky replaced himself with his reflection, but it did lead Constance away, the guy who would burn the sky with flames when he was angry.
Finally, it was Rotonda who showed up and ended Constance's endless pursuit. By the time they arrived in Florence, everything was over...
The evening breeze blew her hair beside her ears. Ruo Dun was still wearing the ancient clothes that the witches had prepared for her when she was in Yunmeng Lake.
They would naturally not be stingy with the great existence from another world. The golden red dress looked so luxurious, and the golden dragon and phoenix hair accessories made Rona's beautiful appearance, which usually made people feel kind and pleasant, look extremely majestic.
She is like an ancient empress who has traveled across time.
Such an outfit stunned Chu Shunhua, who was still on the island at that time. Although the imperial power in Xia Kingdom was not very strong, the witches who did not have to obey the court's orders had a degree of freedom that Western witches had never imagined.
However, isn't it a bit too much of a disrespect for the imperial power to hand over such unceremonial clothing to others in front of him?
But Constance, who controls the body, doesn't care. She likes gold and red. And she is a real queen.
Ruo Dun came to Lu Mingfei's side and looked at the city below with him: "I have something that I need to talk to you about alone. So I jumped through the Bronze City and returned here in advance."
Although they were using the same body, when Constance controlled the body, no matter how she imitated her sister and deliberately showed the maturity of a queen, she could not reproduce the grace and elegance that Ruoden inadvertently revealed.
Ruo Dun is the eldest sister of the kings. When the Dragon King disappeared and the High Priest was imprisoned in the execution ground, she was the true leader of the dragon clan. This temperament is something that her sister, who she has protected for a long time, cannot imitate.
"What is it?" Lu Mingfei was a little curious.
After Yunmeng Lake, he clearly felt that the eldest sister of the kings had something to say to her. However, due to the conflict of her own elements, she fell into a deep sleep helplessly. And Constance and her consciousness were independent of each other, so naturally she could not speak for her.
Ruo paused for a moment, her golden eyes drooping. This made her look somewhat euphemistic and weak, not at all like the bronze queen who repelled the archangel in the ancient war.
She hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "Something about 'Destruction' and 'Dusk', and... the last brothers of the kings."
Lu Mingfei paused. He could understand the first two, but what about the latter "the last brothers of the kings"?
"I think I already know the connection between destruction and dusk," he replied, thinking back to the moment when the Lord of the Sky, whose body was dominated by destruction, blocked the sunlight for him.
"Destruction" probably does not have an independent will, but at that moment, it seemed to be a scene of blocking the scorching sun for "its own kind"... Although he was not afraid of the direct sunlight from outer space, it also made him silent for a very long time.
The forbidden word spirit he possesses, the Twilight in the Twilight of the Gods, seems to be the same existence as the "Twilight" that the kings fear.
Ruo Dun paused again, and the golden light in her eyes seemed to dim a little. This allowed Lu Mingfei to see her face more clearly. It was gentle, but sad, which made him silent as well.
"...Then let's move on to the next topic." Ruo Dun said softly, "About our youngest brother."
Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Among the four kings of the dragon clan, the Bronze King and the Fire King were undoubtedly the oldest and the most powerful. However, it seemed to be a mystery as to who was the youngest brother among them.
Sitting on the throne of the Bronze and Fire Kings, Constance should be one of the "eldest sisters". But whether it is independent or in other aspects, even Xia Mi may be a step ahead of her.
Therefore, if we look at the relationship between the kings from the perspective of human ethics, we will end up in a mess like a ball of wool.
"In fact, we don't know who the youngest brother will be." Ruo Dun glanced at Lu Mingfei and continued, "Because he was not born in the ancient times." She continued, "We don't even know what kind of appearance he will take in the future, when he will be born, and whether he has a 'bloodline' relationship with us kings who were born earlier."
Lu Mingfei paused and looked at Ruo Dun silently. Ruo Dun looked at him calmly, the sadness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a softer look than before, just like the look she gave when she was with Constance.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
……
When Lu Mingfei returned to his home after a long absence, he was surprised to see a layer of dust on it. He recharged his phone, which had been powered off for a long time, and was surprised to find that the time in this world had changed from the end of December when he left to the beginning of February.
About a month seemed to be the same time he had been in the world behind the door. Although he was actually active in the world behind the door for only a few days, he still had to take into account the one-month "adaptation" period.
According to the Water Angel, whose consciousness temporarily returned, that was to "pick up" the gun of destiny for him.
What surprised Lu Mingfei was that not only had more than a month passed in this world, but also the almost overwhelming messages from the girls. The most of them came from the girls from Shilan Middle School.
When he was still in Tokyo, although he did not tell Renata and the others who were left in Tokyo, as well as the Uesugi sisters, about his next plan, they were in the mixed-blood world and probably knew where they were going from Kassel Academy.
But Su Xiaoqiang and others, who are just ordinary people, don’t know this.
What surprised Lu Mingfei was that the one who had the most news was not Su Xiaoqiang, who was the most clingy, but Chen Wenwen. The last news about the former and Liu Miaomiao was from half a month ago, and it was probably because Figel and the others who were left here found an excuse to cover it up.
But only Chen Wenwen persisted, sending him a message almost every half a day to ask where he was.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a headache, but he had not forgotten that Chen Wenwen still needed his "treatment". And after being away from the treatment for so long, who knew what state she would be in when she saw her again?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Mingfei did not reply to the girls' messages immediately. Instead, he first informed the Italians that he had returned to Southern Jiangsu, and that he had been separated from them on the way back, and they must have been frightened again.
The conversation ended amid the girls’ concern. Lu Mingfei took out the rocking chair he hadn’t seen for a long time, sat in front of the window and silently looked at the night outside.
The night was as dark as water, with a half moon hanging in the sky. It was no different from the night sky of the world behind the door at first glance, but the peace of mind that overflowed from the spirit and filled the body still made Lu Mingfei sigh for a long time.
"It's good to be back..." he said softly.
Lu Mingfei felt a little tired for the first time in a long time, but it was not from the body. With his current level of evolution, it was difficult for him to feel tired. His spirit was also strong.
However, many unexpected things made him feel more tired than ever before. He closed his eyes and his consciousness slowly sank into the spiritual world.
……
"The Dragon King who will be born in the future?" Izanami frowned, her face as white as snowflakes showing an indelible puzzlement. "Why do you ask such a question?"
Lu Mingfei looked at her and said softly, "Because there are 'prototype' Dragon Kings like you, and there are 'failed' Dragon Kings like the other kings, then there should also be a Dragon King who 'really wants' to exist."
In the history of dragons, Izanami once launched the largest rebellion in dragon history. Although her rebellion was quickly suppressed, she herself was also exiled to the execution ground in a miserable state.
However, her strength and the fact that even the Dragon King who created her could not kill her immediately earned her the title of "zero generation" among dragons. This alone separated her from the "first generation" dragon kings.
However, judging from later events, the birth of Izanami may have been an immature attempt by the Dragon Emperor.
After Izanami, the four great monarchs who were truly given the title of Dragon King were born. The Dragon King would not make the same mistake as Izanami, so he greatly weakened the power of the four monarchs. He turned them into twins and gave them extremely obvious weaknesses.
Obviously, these have obvious weaknesses. Even if one has the ability to devour brothers and sisters to become a complete Dragon King, it is not what the Dragon Emperor really needs.
So, after the first failure and the second disappointment, did He have a third attempt? Was His disappearance related to this third attempt?
Ruo Dun's words made Lu Mingfei think for a long time, and he realized that it was better to have a few more people to share the headache with him instead of having it alone. Izanami, the original Dragon King, was the best target.
"No one can understand what Nidhogg wants to do, not even us, his 'creatures'." Izanami shook his head and said.
Nidhogg, his name represents despair. Legend has it that when the Twilight of the Gods comes, he will fly out of the abyss with countless monsters, spreading the despair that represents his name across the earth.
As Izanami said, no one could understand what He wanted to do. He was a being with great power, but he took the risk of creating Izanami, who almost threatened his rule.
He tried again and created four great kings. Then, He disappeared in history, as if hiding in an inconspicuous corner in the torrent of history, and continued His attempts.
In the history of the hybrids, humans killed the Dragon King and took over the throne of the world. When Izanami first heard this, she almost rolled over in front of Lu Mingfei with laughter.
Because even she had never thought of killing the creator of all dragon kings.
Izanami was still frowning in thought. The dragon chief priest who had been thinking for a long time suddenly said, "Suppose, the third attempt you speculated really existed. Then, what kind of dragon king does Nidhogg want to create?"
Lu Mingfei also fell into thought: "What exactly does He want? It seems that we have to start from guessing what He has given you."
Izanami was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Strong, stable, and loyal."
