"I thought you'd think the boss had lost his mind, but I didn't expect you to react like this!"

"Oh, whatever the boss says goes!" Su Enxi said. "But just slaying dragons would be so boring. Fighting alongside dragons, that sounds exciting, doesn't it!"

"What? Are you prepared to face those three thousand people?"

"No!" Su Enxi shook her head honestly. "But you're still here! You're an assassin, so just make the arrangements. I'll step in when you need money!"

Mai Shude knew Su Enxi's personality: "Alright, but time is tight, we need to get started!"

Su Enxi pulled out several black bank cards from her bag: "The money is ready. Where's our first stop?"

Looking at the fleeting scenery outside the window, Mai Shude softly said, "Subway station!"

……

Gubei Hotel.

Executive Suite.

Lin Chen booked two suites, taking Xia Mi to one of them and giving the other to Chu Zihang's group.

The executive suite is spacious and has several bedrooms, so even three to five people can stay comfortably.

Chu Zihang's group's room was a mess, with several laptops scattered around and various takeout packaging.

Fingel lay sprawled on the bed, a glass of red wine in one hand and a fried chicken leg in the other.

Beside him was Lu Mingfei, who was equally depraved, with a chocolate bar in his mouth and a half-eaten braised pork dish on the table.

Chu Zihang was a tech geek after all; even though Lin Chen had arranged a trip for them, he was still staring at the data on his laptop.

They listened to Lin Chen and had been wandering around the northern part of the city ever since.

Chu Zihang has a pretty good DSLR camera. Lu Mingfei and Finger followed closely behind him. The three of them visited many attractions in Beicheng, and today they are all resting in the hotel.

Lu Mingfei chewed on a chocolate bar blankly: "Senior brothers, do you think we're really just going to lie here like this?"

Fingel sneered at him: "Lu Mingfei, are you a slut! You never dared to dream of such a life before, and now that you have it, you don't cherish it!"

Lu Mingfei scratched her head: "But I'm a little nervous. Yesterday I saw a lot of mixed-race people, and they were all searching for traces of dragons!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Chu Zihang spoke up: "They are just like us, travelers, because this city is full of traces of dragons—dragon veins, dragon carvings, dragon totems. After all, the kings here were once true dragon emperors. How could we possibly find real information among so much information about dragons!"

Fingel scratched his messy hair: "So what are you doing now?"

"Earthquake data!" Chu Zihang said, "Senior Lin Chen asked me to compile this!"

Lu Mingfei craned her neck and asked, "What's that?"

"The earthquake monitoring equipment!" Chu Zihang said, "If the king of the earth and mountains is hidden inside the earth's crust, then earthquake data might be able to tell us something."

"That sounds so difficult!"

“It’s extremely difficult,” Chu Zihang said sincerely. “Subways, heavy trucks, passing vehicles, high-speed trains, and military operations can all affect the seismic effects, so this data is quite complex!”

"Then how are you going to analyze this?"

"Take your time!" Chu Zihang said, engrossed in his analysis. "What Senior Lin Chen arranged, we must do as soon as possible!"

Fingel took a bite of his chicken leg: "Although I don't understand what Boss Lin Chen means, life is really pretty good right now!"

"I think so too!" Lu Mingfei stretched. "What do you think Senior Lin Chen is doing right now?"

Fingel slapped Lu Mingfei on the head: "You have some nerve! Lin Chen and your sister-in-law are in the same room. Is that something you can just imagine?"

Lu Mingfei instinctively shut her mouth.

……

In the executive suite next door, Lin Chen simply sat on the sofa with a table full of snacks in front of him.

Xia Mi happily picked and chose, occasionally opening a few to taste the delicacies.

Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "Now that you've eaten it all, my brother-in-law won't have any left to eat!"

Xia Mi stuck out her tongue: "I brought him a lot, can't I even eat a few snacks myself!"

"Of course." Lin Chen smiled indulgently. "If you like, one for Fenrir and one for you!"

"Then let's not." Xia Mi withdrew her hand. "I can buy them anytime. Let him keep them."

"She's a sister who loves her brother dearly!"

Xia Mi looked at Lin Chen: "Of course! Hey Lin Chen, when are we going to see my brother?"

"There's no rush." ​​Lin Chen pulled Xia Mi into his arms. "There are still some things I want to ask you."

Xia Mi then gently knocked Lin Chen down, leaning over him and looking into his eyes: "Then ask away!"

"What's wrong with Fenrir? He seems a bit restless lately!"

Xia Mi paused for a moment: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

“Three thousand hybrids have flooded into the North City. They weren’t all attracted by the mysterious man’s bounty,” Lin Chen said. “I had Chu Zihang collect the earthquake monitoring data for the North City, and Fenrir is clearly becoming restless!”

223: The History of the Black King's Demise! The Wanggongchang Explosion!

Xia Mi sighed, "This is the Dragon King's destiny; it cannot be hidden!"

"what is that?"

Xia Mi sat up straight and said softly, "Have you ever heard that the Dragon King can't die?"

“I remember reading in an ancient book about dragons that it mentioned, “Dragon Kings are beings of extraordinary strength and immortality. When they truly face a life-or-death crisis, they will choose a hiding place in advance, transform into a cocoon, and then awaken over a long period of time!”

Xia Mi nodded: "That's right, that's exactly how it is between my brother and me!"

"You mean, you just woke up?"

"Pretty much! My brother and I woke up at roughly the same time. I transformed into a human and entered the human world, but my brother was different. Half of his body was imprisoned in the stone wall, or to be precise, he only had half a body."

"The dragon's strength is already above the world, let alone the Dragon King, one of the four great monarchs. Who could possibly imprison it inside the stone wall?"

Xia Mi was silent for a long time before finally speaking softly, "That person... is our father."

Lin Chen thought of that existence.

The four monarchs were created by one being, who is both their creator and their father.

And that exists.

It's the Black King.

Nidhogg the Black King!

Lin Chen looked at Xia Mi (447), whose gaze was as distant as the ocean.

"Because of betrayal?" Lin Chen asked. "The Black King went to such lengths!"

Xia Mi nodded: "That was a history that was recorded in history. You half-bloods should all know about it. Someone betrayed the Black King, joined forces with the half-blood army, and killed the Black King on his throne. Before that, my brother was imprisoned in the stone wall by him."

Lin Chen remained silent. This was a history that ordinary people could never access, but for Xia Mi, it was something she could easily recall.

Because she was a witness to history, and even played an important role in that history.

"Could you tell me more about it?" Lin Chen asked. "This war, which was worthy of being recorded in history, has not been recorded in history, at least not. To this day, the hybrids only know the outcome of this war."

"What do you want to know?"

"The origin of the battle? What happened? Who were the opposing sides?"

Xia Mi looked at Lin Chen: "Do you really want to know?"

“Of course,” Lin Chen said. “My girl suffered terribly in this period of history, and I want to know what happened.”

Xia Mi raised her head and looked out the window.

The morning sun shone down, and clouds drifted across the clear blue sky.

“This is my answer,” Xia Mi said softly.

Lin Chen followed Xia Mi's gaze and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the sky was clear and blue—a rare good day.

"That's all I can say," Xia Mi said. "There are some things I don't want to tell you, as they would only endanger you."

"I'm already on your side. Do you think I'm someone who's afraid of danger?"

“You are not, but I can’t do that,” Xia Mi said. “As a human being, your choice to stand with me is already extraordinary. I can enjoy your help, but I can’t put you in danger because of it.”

Lin Chen looked at Xia Mi, and Xia Mi's gaze softened.

As the Dragon King, it was extremely difficult for Xia Mi to open her heart to Lin Chen.

Before this, Xia Mi was only willing to stay by Lin Chen's side, verbally agreeing to be Lin Chen's girl, but in her heart she was still that proud dragon king.

But at this moment, Xia Mi's fiery dragon heart also began to beat slowly, and she was expressing her inner thoughts with human thought.

"It's alright," Lin Chen said. "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore. You can tell me when you've thought it through!"

Xia Mi stepped forward and hugged Lin Chen, her long black hair falling over Lin Chen's profile.

Lin Chen savored the fragrance of Xia Mi's hair, then slowly turned his gaze to the window.

Xia Mi may not be willing to say, but Lin Chen might know.

She had just hinted at the view outside the window: a clear blue sky and swirling white clouds.
