"Chen Motong! Lu Mingfei! What's wrong? What happened?" Manstein's voice came from the earpiece.
The two of them looked back at the black rope that served as both a communication line and a lifeline. It didn't break, but magically inserted itself into the bronze wall behind him. Nono squatted down and touched it. The black rope was seamlessly connected to the wall, as if it had been poured in.
"It's nothing. We've already entered Bronze City.”Nono's calm voice rang out.
"Pay attention to your safety. Retreat immediately after placing the bomb. I don't want you to come into direct contact with the Bronze and Fire Kings.”
" I don't want that either…" Nono answered and hung up.
"Let's go." Looking at the two rows of snake-faced statues beside him, Lu Mingfei said as he walked forward.
The two of them passed through the snake-faced people side by side.
After the sound of their footsteps disappeared, the quiet tunnel was filled with the sound of machinery running and metal rubbing.
The snake-faced people, who had been bowing, straightened up neatly and looked straight ahead. Their silver-cast pupils flickered with a cold silver light.
It was as if he was looking at the humble posture of his great king after he left.
A long trek. The dye line guided them through the maze of the city and they arrived at an open space.
The water in the tunnel flowed into a lake here. The water was so blue that it was almost black. It was cold and bone-piercing. No one knew how deep it was.
This was a huge sky. Above the sky, an incomparably huge tree grew. Countless branches and leaves covered the entire sky.
The half-wilted World Tree was like the emblem of Kassel Academy!
"This is where Ye Sheng and Yaji came. Do you remember that map?”Nono said softly.
"The map that Zero solved?" Lu Mingfei said softly," Is this where they died…"
Nono fell silent. She pointed the searchlight in her hand at the deep pool, and a light green line meandered down.
" Looks like our path is under the water…" Lu Mingfei said as he jumped into the deep pool. The two of them began to dive rapidly.
The ghastly white bones appeared in front of Lu Mingfei and Nono. When the image appeared on the screen on the ship, everyone took a deep breath. The bottom of the water was filled with white bones, so dense that there was almost no place to stand on. The distinctive skulls and sternum indicated that these bones belonged to humans. Thousands of people had died here, and their bones had settled here for thousands of years.
"Hey, as a lady, why are you so calm? You should at least scream or something.”
"Shut up." Nono gave him a hand chop without any explanation." Do you want me, your boss, to lose face in front of you, your underling?!"”
Nono squatted at the bottom of the water and dug around among the white bones. She picked up a thigh bone and then a sternum.
" It was a massacre. These were all soldiers. They found the Dragon King's palace and tried to kill him. Then…"
"Then they all died. In an instant, they were wiped out by an unparalleled power.”Lu Mingfei said softly as he made a sweeping motion with one hand in front of him. His blazing golden eyes emitted a radiance that made people dare not look directly at him. For some reason, Nono felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at Lu Mingfei.
Crack! Crack! Tremors came from under his feet, as if an earthquake was about to occur. The entire bottom of the water slowly shifted. A thin and long water tornado appeared above Lu Mingfei's head. Its sharp tail pierced straight down like an awl. Lu Mingfei grabbed Nono with one hand, and the two of them instantly fell down.
Lu Mingfei landed steadily on the ground, still holding Nono's hands tightly.
The two of them looked at each other and looked at their feet.
They were sitting side by side on a huge waterwheel. The surface of the bronze water wheel was wrapped in a thick layer of unknown fabric. Every piece of water was a comfortable seat. They walked down a dark passage, and the sound of water could be heard on both sides.
Light finally appeared in front of them. Lu Mingfei and Nono jumped out together.
" So this is Norton's palace…" Nono said softly. What appeared in front of them was not a magnificent palace.
It was a very ordinary hut, an ancient residence made of bronze. Other than the texture, it was no different from the ancient Chinese residences he had seen in the illustrations in history books.
There was even a window, but outside the window was a pitch-black metal wall.
The light was from a small lamp made of bronze. It was shaped like a palace maid kneeling on the table, holding the lamp in one hand and folding the sleeve of the other hand above the lampshade.
It was cold, lonely, and lifeless. It was hard to imagine how the people who lived here endured the loneliness of a thousand years...
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a wave of sadness in his heart. He saw two figures appear in front of him. The tall one was bent over and writing, while the small one was standing by the table and watching curiously.
Are the two of you the only ones in the endless years? They hugged each other and absorbed the only warmth in the seat called King…
How sad…He held power and power in his hands, but he was destined to live a sad life.
"Let's go. Is it enough to just leave the bomb here?”After a while, Lu Mingfei asked softly.
Nono nodded. After setting up the bomb, the two of them held hands and climbed onto the waterwheel again.
After Lu Mingfei's gaze swept over it, the bronze plate opened as if it had melted. This was no longer a simple bloodline activation. It was as if Lu Mingfei was commanding the bronze city, as if he was the master of the city and not Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire!
"Hurry up and leave!" Lu Mingfei said. An ominous feeling enveloped his heart. The future did not seem to change because of the flapping of his butterfly wings. Nono would die!
"Where are we going?" Nono asked," Haven't you realized? The communication line…is gone!"
"The water flow here is very slow. It shouldn't have washed away the communication line. Someone…took the line away.”Nono said.
" Looks like the owner is not happy that we trespassed on a private house…" Lu Mingfei said as he pulled Nono and ran in another direction.
Slowly, the sound of friction grew louder and louder until it finally turned into a thunderous boom. Lu Mingfei couldn't tell what the sound was. He felt like a small person who had entered a mechanical watch and was listening to the sound of the watch's operation. Countless metal gears were engaged, the bearings were rotating, and the needle was swinging back and forth. These subtle sounds were amplified a thousand times.
" The Bronze City is starting to operate!" Nono said," Someone activated it, and the water level dropped, which means that water has leaked out from somewhere else. This will generate power to drive the bronze city.”
?" There's no need to worry…" Lu Mingfei said calmly. Wherever his eyes swept, the paths that had started to close would magically open again, becoming their escape routes.
"Do you know the way?" Nono shouted loudly. The roar exploded in their ears, deafening them.
"Go down! Down! Just keep going down!" Lu Mingfei roared. They swam down as if they were falling. The bronze doors that were about to be sealed opened again under Lu Mingfei's gaze.
The front deck of the Manyaher was dead silent.
The connection status on the monitor screen was still disconnected. The connection between the Manyaher and the diving team was disconnected for unknown reasons. Manstein and Caesar stared at the monitor screen. From the moment the connection was cut off, their eyes never left the screen for fifteen minutes.
Caesar's mouth was tightly clenched, and Manstein's breathing was heavy.
"Fifteen minutes have passed. The chances of survival are very low.”Manstein said in a low voice.
"Do you feel that the temperature has suddenly risen?”A person's voice rang out in the cabin.
"Caesar, look outside!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Caesar looked up and saw a vast white fog outside through the porthole. His visibility had somehow been reduced to the level of thick fog. The reservoir was like a pot that was boiling, steaming out more and more thick white gas, as thick as milk.
"He's here. Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire. His high heat heated the river water, creating a large amount of steam. We ignored the thermometer. The water temperature outside was already close to 50 degrees. It was too hot to soak in the hot spring.”Zero said," It looks like there's a plan. He's here to hunt us.”
Boom! As Zero's voice fell, water splashed into the sky. A ferocious body was revealed from the water. Dense scales covered his body, emitting a black metallic luster. Anyone who saw it would feel that this creature definitely had the power to destroy the world!
Golden light shone through the metal surface in front of him. The dragon raised its head and roared!
"Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire?" Caesar said in a surprisingly calm manner as he pulled the string of the huge sniper rifle in his hand.
If Lu Mingfei was also on the ship, even he wouldn't be able to remain calm. This wasn't Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, but Dragonservant Samson!
Where was Norton, who should have fused with Samson?
