Constantine looked at her with surprise.
Norton and Lu Mingfei were not surprised, but Norton asked, "Aren't you hiding anymore? And who are you?"
"Jormungandr."
"Oh, so you're the King of Earth and Mountains. I'm not surprised, because you've made too many bizarre moves that look familiar. I can only say that your actions fit my usual impression: timid, cowardly, and overly cautious."
"It's better than your explosive temper, which led to your downfall being exposed from the start and then being set up by others..."
"You're talking like you're not even in the station. What are you thinking? As far as I know, you sneaked in here on your own, didn't you? You didn't even take off your white gloves, you just ran straight over here. Did you think you were hiding it well?"
Now that he was on Lu Mingfei's side, Norton was finally able to unleash his volatile temper, speaking in an extremely unfriendly tone.
Anyway, at worst we'll just start doing it. What can Xia Mi do to turn the world upside down by herself?
Xia Mi's actions, in his view, were utterly outrageous. No, this was right under Odin's nose! She didn't even find a spokesperson or anything, she just went in alone... What's wrong with her brain? Are you Eriffin?
"I just want to survive, isn't that simple? Aren't you also trying to survive so you could eventually negotiate with Lu Mingfei?"
“You seem to have misunderstood something. He demonstrated his methods, his strength, and his friendliness, which is the basis for my negotiations with him.”
"I'm also carefully observing him..."
"Wait, stop arguing. Since you can sit down and talk things out, then talk it out." The system, feeling the most guilty, quickly stepped forward and interrupted the argument.
It was genuinely afraid that the two dragon kings would start fighting, and it wouldn't be able to demonstrate enough strength to mediate, which might expose Lu Mingfei's weakness.
It's a good thing that Xia Mi is willing to reveal her identity; at least it won't lead to a fight.
"cut."
Norton gave a dismissive reply, then asked Xia Mi, "Where's your brother?"
"not here."
"Yeah, that's really silly."
"you……"
"Stop talking!"
The system had no idea what kind of medicine these two dragon kings had taken. Why did they have to start arguing?
But if they keep arguing, it could very well turn into a physical fight, so they have to stop arguing.
Xia Mi closed her mouth, saying nothing more, even though Norton had spoken first.
Norton looked at Xia Mi but didn't say anything more.
Although there was some derogatory tone in what I said earlier... after all, judging from Lu Mingfei's performance, he's just a complete puppet! Xia Mi must be out of her mind to attack a puppet directly, wouldn't that just expose her identity for nothing? Why waste energy fighting a puppet?
However, this puppet developed its own consciousness and thoughts. Even though it knew that Xia Mi, the Dragon King, was right beside it, it did not directly and recklessly attack.
This is brilliant... It proves that Lu Mingfei is not Him. If he were Him, why would he bother with the Dragon King? He would just chop them up.
Of course, they wouldn't be foolish enough to just stand there and wait to die.
……
"Wow, Lu Mingfei and the Dragon King have made peace."
Su Enxi exclaimed, "Boss, what are we going to do? It seems like the dragon-slaying plan is doomed."
"It's just a matter of waiting for the rabbit to die and the hound to be cooked, or for the donkey to be discarded after it has served its purpose." The person she called the boss was a little pale, but his expression was calm, and he was not surprised by what happened.
In this matter, he had made a great contribution. It was only because of his presence that Lu Mingfei was able to sit down and talk with the two dragon kings.
However, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes... The other party actually needed to form alliances? The filthy thing on his brother didn't seem particularly strong?
Otherwise, Norton and Xia Mi are nothing more than roadside hustles... I seem to have overestimated their strength.
So what's next? What will they do?
……
Xia Mi sat down with Norton and Constantine, looking at Norton with disdain.
If Lu Mingfei hadn't been there, she would have taken action immediately, because Norton is just a figurehead now, he doesn't even have the ability to process those people's memories.
Too weak... If I were to take action myself, I could definitely take him down easily. It's a pity that Lu Mingfei is right here.
Lu Mingfei's first question was: "Who am I?"
Who he really was, and what his relationship with Lu Mingze was, were questions that had always lingered in Lu Mingfei's mind.
"You tell me," Norton said to Xia Mi, then closed his eyes.
Seeing his lazy appearance, Xia Mi didn't say much, but simply said, "You are the Supreme One, or... you might be Old Tang, but compared to Old Tang, you have obtained enough power, and in this respect you are much stronger than Old Tang."
"Supreme Lord, Old Tang..."
Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, feeling that his origins could finally be revealed, and asked, "Who is the Supreme One?"
"do not you know?"
"I don't know, I only know that my power was innate."
"Oh." Xia Mi was silent for a moment. "You know the Black King, right?"
"of course I know."
"It has nothing to do with Black King."
"Ok?"
"What time is it and you're still being naughty?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi with some surprise. Was she really overacting? Or was she just too convincing?
"It has nothing to do with the Black King, but it has to do with the Black King's origins," Xia Mi said casually. "Aren't you curious about the origins of the dragon race? Why are dragons the only extraordinary race?"
"You said."
Before we get to that, may I know your condition?
Xia Mi first posed the question to Lu Mingfei, and then posed her own question, waiting for Lu Mingfei to exchange his answer for hers.
Chapter 245 Don't I have any pride?
What is Lu Mingfei's condition?
Xia Mi was asking Lu Mingfei about his personality and the system's managed state.
Since the recovery, Norton has only seen Lu Mingfei being managed by the system, so he hasn't had many questions about it.
He even had some doubts about the question Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei—wasn't it just that the soul and spirit were cold and lifeless, like metal, without emitting any warmth? As the white glove of that supreme being, wouldn't it be a perfectly normal method to research and create a human-like intelligent spirit with advanced thinking?
"This question can be skipped." Without offering any explanation, the system domineeringly silenced the other party and said, "You can answer my question directly."
Xia Mi raised an eyebrow but did not speak.
Three traitors, oh no, there were four. Although Constantine had become an ordinary person, he was once a dragon king.
No, that's not right. There are five, because I can fully represent my brother.
The five traitors are all gathered at one table to negotiate; theoretically, aren't they equal? If you're not going to speak, why should I?
"If you don't speak, plenty of others will." Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, the system turned its gaze to Norton.
Constantine didn't know much about these things and had to rely on Norton, the true King of Bronze and Fire, to enlighten him.
However, upon seeing Xia Mi's state, Norton raised an eyebrow and immediately chose to remain silent.
The main theme of the situation is ulterior motives...
The system wasn't too surprised to see this scene.
After all, the Dragon Kings coveted the Dragon Bone Cross and royal power between each other, and with the possibility of being double-crossed at any time, they naturally wanted to secure their own interests as much as possible.
But since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss...
The system stood up and said, "Since you're not willing to say anything, there's nothing to talk about here. Let's disperse. I won't interfere in your grudges. If you want to kill each other, you can do it now. I promise I won't get involved in your fight."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes, but didn't make a move.
Norton sat quietly and did not make a move.
Oh right, I promise I won't get involved in your fight!
Putting aside the fact that going back on one's word is incredibly easy, he could simply wait until they've fought to the bitter end, then step in to settle scores with the Pyrrhic winner, thus reaping the benefits of their rivalry. In that case, he wouldn't have broken his promise.
The system conjured a reclining chair in a furnace, then instantly cooled it down. He lay down, crossed his legs, looked at the two dragons, and said nonchalantly:
"What? Afraid I'll ambush you? Then you can find a place to have a big fight yourselves. But I won't follow you. I can't guarantee that there won't be anything else following you."
"Moreover, I certainly don't care. I don't know who wins or loses, but I can definitely see the dark hand that devours you before finally standing up to me face to face."
Lu Mingfei's background is shrouded in mystery, and he must be someone of considerable importance. The fact that he's still alive and kicking means that some people or dragons don't want him to die now.
But as for Xia Mi and Norton... it's uncertain whether they will die or die together.
Seeing that the situation had become somewhat deadlocked, Constantine quietly tugged at Norton's sleeve.
This dragon is kind-hearted; it's his nature, and he doesn't want to make the situation so tense.
Although Lu Mingfei destroyed his Dragon Bone Cross and reduced him to a mortal, Lu Mingfei did not break his promise.
Moreover, he felt that being an ordinary person was quite nice; he had no deep-seated hatred and didn't need to hide or run away...
Norton glared at his younger brother; the boy was just causing trouble.
This fragile alliance can sit down and talk, and even if there's an awkward silence, it won't collapse anytime soon. Because everyone has their own needs and ideas.
However, he understood Constantine's personality well and had a rough idea of what the other man was thinking. He sighed helplessly to himself.
My foolish brother, you truly understand nothing. As the King of Bronze and Fire, you are playful and ignorant of alchemy, but I do!
Even if I'm reduced to a mortal, I can still find a way to regain the power of the dragon, get back on the table, see if I can get a bite of the cake, and maybe even become the ultimate winner...
This is probably why the opponent chose to use Constantine's Dragonbone Cross but not their own, because they knew how to save themselves...
However, Norton softened his heart a bit at his brother's thoughts and said to ease the atmosphere, "The atmosphere isn't that tense, it's just that Jormungandr and I know each other inside and out, and Constantine and Erifin are also keeping each other in check. Only you, Lu Mingfei, we don't know the specifics at all, so it's normal for us to be wary of you and want to find out your background."
"Oh, I understand."
The system nodded, but its crossed legs remained in place. "But don't I have any pride? You, the King of Bronze and Fire, are suspicious of the King of Earth and Mountain siblings, and the King of Earth and Mountain siblings are equally suspicious of you, the King of Bronze and Fire brothers. Only I can stand in the middle to mediate, and only I can carry the banner of the current number one. What would happen if I backed down now?"
They'll fight to the death first, and then talk about the outcome. Anyway, if Lu Ming really backs down, Norton will definitely launch a heavy attack on Jormungandr.
