Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 213

Chu Zihang watched all this from a distance without saying a word. Although his father was being punished, he believed that the boss would not allow his father to die.

Beside Chu Zihang was the sword case containing the Seven Deadly Sins, which contained the dragon bone cross of Constantine, the King of Bronze and Fire, and was imbued with the power of the Dragon King.

Chu Zihang has this thing, and it could come out at any moment, so he's on guard against any unforeseen events. However, his father, who is impersonating Odin, is being taught a lesson by Norton, so he's not involved in any unforeseen events... He can only trouble his father, since he won't die anyway... Why do I feel a little good about this?!

Watching Chu Tianjiao being tortured, Chu Zihang suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction welling up inside him...

……

The system said, "That's enough. He was under Odin's control back then, and you should unleash your royal power without restraint. Soon, many eyes will be on this place."

Norton extinguished the flames, but shook his head slightly: "It's as if no one is watching this place even if I don't show up. My premature birth was all planned, they've been watching me for a long time... Speaking of which... you're not him."

Upon hearing this, the system immediately asked, "Then who am I?"

“Hehe…” A smile appeared on Norton’s face, and then he said, “Perhaps it’s the dragon and the human who are bound by fate? But it seems you are not without countermeasures.”

The system shook its head: "I don't understand what you're saying, because I don't actually know much."

"When your strength reaches a certain level, you will know. The information you need to know will naturally come to you when you reach sufficient strength."

Norton suddenly took a deep breath and said, "While your actions have angered me, I can also see your sincerity. Especially given my current inability to resist, tell me, what do you want?"

The legendary King Norton of Bronze and Fire was known for his volatile temper, and his personality was as fiery as a flame, easily ignited.

It's truly remarkable that he can now speak calmly and rationally with Lu Mingfei.

It was mainly Constantine's matter that distracted him and calmed him down a bit.

The system said, "I'd rather know what you want than what I want. Actually, many things are negotiable."

“But there are many things that can’t be discussed.” Norton shook his head, then shifted the focus to Constantine, saying, “If we take out Constantine’s Dragon Bone Cross, perhaps he can still be saved.”

Words are meaningless; the time to show sincerity has arrived!

Norton wasn't really clear about the true situation of Lu Mingfei, just like whether his younger brother Constantine was the same Constantine he remembered. It was a difficult thing to say.

However, it doesn't really matter who Lu Mingfei is, as long as they achieve their goals.

Norton's current goal is to retrieve Constantine's Dragonbone Cross and try to see if he can restore the human Constantine before him to the Constantine of Bronze and Fire he remembers.

The system was silent for a moment.

Norton's question is very straightforward, but the simpler the question, the bigger the underlying issues.

All that was left was Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross. After giving it to Norton, Lu Mingfei didn't have many things left.

Could Lu Mingze recover like Norton did after suddenly burning out and needing a few days of rest?

It's hard to say... I haven't reached their level yet, and I don't know them well enough; I'm completely clueless.

And... Xia Mi!

The girl hiding behind the lab cabinet, trembling with fear, was truly trembling, completely subjugated by Norton's domineering presence.

But the true identity of this trembling girl is actually a dragon king!

Should we bring up Xia Mi now and deal with her directly? But does Norton have the power to deal with Xia Mi?

If Norton truly possessed his full strength, there would be no need for negotiations; according to Constantine's description, he would have simply launched himself into the air and delivered a kick...

Chapter 244 Sit Down

The fact that Norton was willing to sit down and have a proper talk means there must be something wrong.

The problem is that after the last outburst, he definitely didn't have much power left... This sudden resurgence means he has very little power left, and taking action would only worsen the situation quickly. That's why the other party had no choice but to calm down and talk things over.

Norton also noticed Lu Mingfei's eyes flicker as he looked to the side, but he remained unmoved.

The main problem is that once something is done, it can easily worsen the situation.

He has a bad temper, but he's not brainless.

Having received Old Tang's memories, he naturally quickly flipped through them to understand what had recently happened.

Then he discovered that the girl hiding next to him was Xia Mi... Hmm... Why did he expose her?

Since they're still squatting there peacefully, there's no point in exposing them. Otherwise, suddenly exposing them won't do you any good.

But who is this Xia Mi...? As he rummaged through Old Tang's memories, he felt a little uneasy. Had the other party completely integrated into human society? It was truly a seamless transition into human life.

Does she think that living like a human being will free her from the identity of the Dragon King?

What is the other party doing?

Faced with Lu Mingfei's momentary silence, he also fell silent. There was nothing he could do; given the current situation... he didn't know if turning against Lu Mingfei would benefit the other party, but it certainly wouldn't benefit him.

Since they were able to resurrect Constantine, it proves they are sincere. Now that Constantine is back, what's the next step—to ask for a Dragonbone Cross?

Suddenly Norton felt irritated because the gradual, recurring events were causing him distress, which was a flaw in his character.

The most annoying thing is why the opponent would destroy Constantine's Dragonbone Cross and then revive Constantine.

Showing off strength? Isn't that redundant? But it's indeed difficult to sit down and have a proper talk unless the other side reveals Constantine's Dragonbone Cross first.

"What benefits do I get?" the system asked.

"What do you need? The power of the Bronze and Fire King? Or our loyalty?" Norton asked. "But do you even believe in that yourself?"

Loyalty and disloyalty are meaningless in the world of dragons.

If loyalty truly existed, then the White King wouldn't have rebelled, and neither would the eight Dragon Kings.

Constantine tugged at Norton's sleeve. His brother's words were indeed too harsh... How could they negotiate like that? Kids wouldn't play with their own brother!

Norton glanced down at little Constantine, shook his head, and said, "You don't need to tug at my sleeve. You feel he's not a bad person, but have you considered our situation?"

His character is flawed, and so is Constantine's. His flaw is his temper, and Constantine's flaw is his naiveté. But they are not as mindless as Erifen, the King of the Earth and Mountains. There is still hope, and they can still communicate.

……

Xia Mi huddled behind the cabinet, trembling, but still carefully listened to Norton and Lu Mingfei's conversation.

After all, judging from the conversation between the two sides, it seems that they have not yet reached a tacit understanding, and are now in the process of reaching a tacit understanding... It's a pity that Norton is unwilling to think too deeply. He's just being childish. What's wrong with being a little hypocritical?

If Lu Ming really can form a strategic partnership with Norton... should he jump in and join in?

After all, it's better to team up with the majority first, take out the minority, and then deal with the rest... One kill is one kill, and then we can find an opportunity to double-cross them later...

It's a pity that this happened so suddenly. She wasn't prepared at all. If she and Erifin had been one step ahead and ambushed them, they might have gotten their hands on the Dragonbone Cross of the Bronze and Fire Kings. Then, by gathering the power of the four Dragon Kings, they would have had a great chance of becoming the final winners.

……

Constantine, faced with his brother's words, finally silently lowered his hand.

On the system side, Norton certainly wouldn't believe what he said.

The idea of ​​completely trusting someone is a false proposition—if you completely trust them, will they completely trust you?

What would you do if someone did something as unorthodox as Little Devil? Even if the other person genuinely meant well, their methods were somewhat contrary to Lu Mingfei's expectations.

The two of them will inevitably have disagreements.

So it said directly: "We can't give you Constantine's Dragon Cross, but we can still join forces now."

"Who are we joining forces to take down? The sky and the wind, the ocean and the water, the earth and the mountains? Or the one behind you?"

Norton stared intently at Lu Mingfei's body, as if a colossal figure stood behind him.

Lu Ming's insistence on slaying the dragon wasn't entirely unreasonable. After all, what else could he do? How could he become the ultimate winner without slaying the dragon?

However, the other party's actions were confusing, which may be due to a disagreement between Lu Mingfei and the person behind him.

The system said, "Take action against everyone. Whoever disobeys me, I'll take action against them."

"What if I don't accept your offer?"

"Then I'll do it to you right now."

Norton was silent for a moment after hearing this... There would be no benefit in actually fighting; it would be better to die in the future than to die now.

When two parties disagree, if they don't want to keep arguing, then one party has to give in.

“Okay.” Norton nodded in agreement, then glanced to the side at where Xia Mi was hiding.

Should we kill this dragon king?

The system's eyes swayed slightly from side to side, rejecting the suggestion.

Because Xia Mi hasn't expressed any dissatisfaction yet, and because there are no little devils yet... Norton's own power may have fallen into a state of weakness again.

Xia Mi is currently the strongest among the humans and dragons present. However, because there are three forces with overwhelming power, Xia Mi is hiding herself.

Norton nodded slightly, quickly gathering his royal aura and suppressing the surrounding elements. The Dragon King's majesty was completely gone, and he became the ordinary old Tang again.

However, Old Tang's easygoing demeanor had transformed into that of someone with a hidden anger.

Xia Mi: They didn't fight??? Holy crap!!! They even shook hands and made up!

Oh no, I've become one of the minority!

However, right now... Lu Mingfei hasn't handed over Constantine's Dragonbone Cross, so there's still a sliver of a chance. If he returns to the capital to find his brother as quickly as possible... there's still a chance...

Her mind raced. Had Norton really not suspected her? Had Lu Mingfei really not suspected her? What should she do now?

……

"Where's Lao Tang?" the system asked.

Norton pointed to his head: "It's still in my head. You'll have to figure out how to get it out yourself. I don't have the ability or the means."

"Hmm." The system nodded, and then the two of them turned their gazes to the cabinet where Xia Mi was hiding.

Constantine also turned his head to look in that direction, puzzled. He remembered where Xia Mi was hiding and said, "Sister Xia Mi, you can come out now."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi poked her head out to see what was happening.

Everything seemed normal? But three pairs of eyes were staring at him...

The ordinary air about her began to completely dissipate, transforming into the aloof demeanor of a dragon king.

I can talk, and I can love humanity!

Lu Mingfei, if you can talk to Norton, why can't you talk to me? Let's go and take down the King of Sky and Wind, the King of Ocean and Water, and...

“Norton…?” she began, “Little Ding must be Constantine, right?”
