"So why am I on the dive list?"
Lu Mingfei, who had put on his underwater combat uniform, asked with a look of despair.
"Because you are S-class."
Chu Zihang, who had returned from visiting his mother, said expressionlessly.
"Yes, S-level, how could such a thing happen without you?" Caesar also chuckled, "The principal plus the three of us can be said to be the strongest lineup in the academy at present. To deal with the Dragon King sending such a lineup It’s very reasonable.”
"No...I think this team will be stronger without me?"
Lu Mingfei complained speechlessly.
He has always been very careful about his own abilities. Those magical abilities were only given by Lu Mingze and were not his own power at all. And he is not ready to really make a deal with that devil yet, so It's obvious that going down won't help much, and may even be a hindrance.
"You have to have confidence in your abilities. Your abilities are obvious to all."
Chu Zihang comforted him calmly, his face still expressionless.
"This...hey...forget it."
Lu Mingfei gave up explaining, "Just go down, but I still have a question..."
"What?" Angers also changed into combat uniforms.
"You are sure we are not responsible for the battle, right?" Lu Mingfei confirmed with some worry.
"Yes, that is our mission. Don't worry, we will protect your safety."
came a lively female voice.
Lu Mingfei turned around and said, "Um...is that right..."
He looked at the girl and boy in front of him who looked younger than him with some embarrassment, his eyes full of disbelief.
The people who appeared in front of him at this moment were none other than the brothers Liu Hongzhong and Liu Wukui who were brought back to the company not long ago.
Of course, the company would not let someone as dangerous as Liu Hongzhong wander outside, so joining the company to set up a new department to deal with abnormal creatures was their best choice.
In addition, in addition to the two of them, the new member of the group this time is Chen Duo, who was brought back by Sun Haoran after he wasted his efforts and got into trouble.
Although these three people are all special, they are still a little worse than Sun Haoran. Therefore, with Yue Xiao as the guarantor, and the company's system reforms, they have obtained basic freedom and life security. Although they usually have There will still be people watching, but there is no longer a need to stay in a dark bunker like Chen Duo once did.
Of course, in exchange for this, they naturally have to contribute their own strength when the company needs it, such as now.
Liu Hongzhong, Liu Wukui and Chen Duo have all changed into underwater combat uniforms and are on standby. Their mission is to support Sun Haoran from the side and protect the safety of several people in the academy. This is also the reason why Xu Si asked Xu San to do psychological work for the three of them.
After all, these three things don't seem to be very stable in fact. A hybrid monarch, a super hybrid with a boy's life and the ability to engage in violent blood, and a holy boy with a Gu body, no matter which one can be called a 'monster' '.
It would be rude to leave a bad impression on the children of the academy if you are not careful.
Everyone in the academy, including Angers, probably still knows nothing about the abilities of these three people. When these three people show their strength, it seems reasonable for these guys to realize the gap again and doubt their life or be autistic. in things.
Yes, this is exactly what Yue Xiao wants to achieve.
He had been unhappy with the old guy Angers for a long time, but now he had a chance to feel proud.
So what if I can’t beat you? All the boys under labor and management can brutally abuse you, so let’s just ask you if you accept it, right?
Getting back to business, Sun Haoran soon changed into his underwater combat uniform and was on standby. At this point, the people who need to dive underwater this time have been confirmed. On the company's side are Sun Haoran, Liu Hongzhong, Liu Wukui and Chen Duo.
The real strength of the first three people has exceeded the scope of normal people, and they are fully qualified for this mission. Chen Duo's inclusion was just a test, because the company didn't know the effect of 'venom' on dragons or even other extraordinary creatures.
As for why Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao did not participate... of course it is because Zhang Chulan's current strength is indeed not up to standard, and Feng Baobao is Xu San and Xu Si's 'baby'. It is no accident. To put it bluntly, he has the background to do hard work. Work.
In short, the company sent a total of four people as executives.
There are also four people on the academy side, Anger, Chu Zihang, Caesar and Lu Mingfei.
In addition, Ye Shenghe and Jiodeyaji, who had experience in sneaking into the Bronze City, were responsible for guiding on the ship. This is a humanitarian arrangement considering that the two of them may have a psychological shadow on the city below.
"Note that your respective oxygen meters can last for about 3 hours, which is enough for you."
Manstein, who was in charge of the equipment, squatted on the side of the ship and gave instructions.
"The diving suit is specially made, fully enclosed, and can withstand twenty atmospheres of pressure. The surface is made of nanomaterials, but be careful not to get scratched. The air pressure may not matter to you... but lack of oxygen is fatal.
The data cable is also your lifeline. It is also made of nanomaterials. These things cost money and are generally not broken. If any of you accidentally lose consciousness, we will use this rope to save you. He pulled him up, of course... I think such worries may be a bit unnecessary for this mission? "
As he spoke, Manstein looked helplessly at the leader, Sun Haoran.
"No matter what... these must be prepared for insurance purposes. After all, life is priceless. Whether it is a college or a company, we don't want any of you to have an accident."
As he said this, Manstein looked at the group of people floating on the water about to dive with a somewhat complicated mood. He actually felt quite sad in his heart. Isn't Angers' money the college's money? As the chairman of the Discipline Committee, he is usually responsible for the college's finances.
Dragon slaying is a costly affair, and this job cannot be reimbursed unless it is recognized by Western governments... After all, not every country is so enlightened and willing to spend funds from the treasury on such things. Where does all the secret party's money come from? A bunch of stupid nobles with lots of money.
Now, in addition to the money that our own students have to burn, they also have to bear all the expenses for the company's attendance. I have to say that the guy here has a really good abacus. Every bead on the abacus hits Manstein. Heartfelt.
"Can I ask a question?" Lu Mingfei asked shivering in the water, "When I was at the academy before, I saw how easy it was for Old Sun to deal with Constantine. Looking at it that way, the Dragon King seemed to be too. It's not very strong... The only troublesome part is probably the terrifying flames, right? With the protection of flames, ordinary people like us can't even get close."
"It's true if you only judge with the naked eye..." Manstein nodded lightly, "I know you are all very confident. When you were in the academy, if there weren't that annoying flame, would you all dare to go up and fight with the knife? Will she compete?"
"Uh-huh." Caesar spread his hands slightly, unable to deny it.
But Chu Zihang just remained silent.
At that time, he and the intruder girl worked together to attack Constantine. Unfortunately, the opponent had no intention of accepting the attack and left the battlefield with its wings spread. Facing a species with absolute air supremacy, they had no way to pursue it, otherwise they would win. The negative is still unknown.
No, I don't dare... Lu Mingfei complained speechlessly in his heart, but the question that should be asked still has to be asked: "Let's just say... now that guy chooses the battlefield in the water, does that mean he has voluntarily given up that advantage? Woolen cloth?"
"You want to say... without the flames, we can fight her up close and personal, and everyone in the water is a humanoid species, so the conditions should be equal, right? You are wrong, Mingfei..."
Angers on the side shook his head slightly, "The bones of dragons are very malleable, and it is precisely because of this that they can completely transform into humans... You should have witnessed Constantine's last moments when you were in the academy. He She forcibly transformed her human body into a dragon body. Of course, the quality is conserved. Without absorbing a large amount of nutrients over a long period of time, the final result must be failure. And you have also seen her ending."
"Only the keel..." Lu Mingfei quickly understood after hearing this, "In other words... they can completely shape their bodies into a shape that has an advantage underwater? This is ridiculous..."
"That's right, for example, their original dragon bodies were designed to give them an advantage over humans underwater." Ange explained calmly, "But as I said just now, it takes a long time and a lot of nutrients. .And we don’t give her time.”
"But if we just make changes or enhancements based on the existing basis of the human body, it should still be possible." Chu Zihang continued, "After all... we are still facing the one who is best at casting. The Lord of Bronze and Fire, creating and building should be almost instinctive to her.”
"Okay... Let's put it this way, there is still a tough battle waiting for us..." Listening to everyone's explanations, Lu Mingfei became more and more flustered.
"What are you afraid of? You already said that we will protect you!" Liu Wukui glared at Lu Mingfei, "As a grown man, I hate you the most!"
"Okay... okay..." Lu Mingfei was submissive and did not dare to speak any more.
Although he didn't know where this girl got the confidence to protect him, he was still a good man and didn't fight with women. Well... In fact, he felt that he probably couldn't fight this girl. After all, she was still a member of the company.
His impression of the people in the company...it's hard to put into words...in short, none of them are easy to mess with.
"Okay, are you guys ready?"
Seeing that everyone was almost ready and chatting, Sun Haoran asked.
"When you're ready, let's start diving."
"no problem."
After checking the equipment and making final confirmations, Manstein waved to everyone, "I wish you good luck."
Hearing this, everyone except Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and almost all of them dived into the water at the same time. Lu Mingfei was quickly pulled down by Sun Haoran's outstretched hand while exclaiming.
The penetration of spotlights in such turbid river water is not strong, and everyone can see almost a rich dark green. Fortunately, with Sun Haoran leading the way, everyone quickly found their way.
No one will question this man's ability. This guy cannot be understood by ordinary people at all, so it seems easy for people to understand that those molten golden eyes can see clearly here.
Soon everyone arrived at their destination, which was supposed to be a ruined Bronze City.
Why do you say it is the original?
"How can it be?"
After seeing the scene coming from the water, Ye Sheng and Shude Aki in the cabin were filled with horror.
The palace that should have been almost completely destroyed in the battle between Sun Haoran and the next generation was miraculously restored at this moment.
"Nothing surprising..."
Angers voice sounded on the channel.
"When a piece of wood is broken into several pieces, the volume remains unchanged."
Everyone can understand quickly after hearing the words.
This is a very simple truth. Although the Bronze City was destroyed, it was only dismantled like a piece of wood, rather than being wiped out. Therefore, to restore it, it only needs to be put back together.
And this kind of thing is easy for the King of Bronze and Fire, who has the power of bronze and fire.
"I just didn't expect... that guy, even in human form, can have such great power..."
As he spoke, Ange's tone became a little heavy.
Power and strength have always been two things. To be able to reshape such a huge palace, Norton at this moment may have regained all her great power except for the extremely violent power contained in her dragon body.
Everyone approached quickly and soon arrived in front of the magnificent gate of the reshaped bronze city.
The difference from before is... this door is open now.
The king inside must have anticipated their arrival and was waiting for them at any time.
"what to do?"
Chu Zihang asked.
"Let's go in...what else can we do?"
Lu Mingfei's tone was full of complaints. He wondered what was going on with these people? We are already here, is there anything left to hesitate?
"Well said, very courageous! Then you can lead the way."
Sun Haoran laughed when he heard this and pushed Lu Mingfei from behind.
"Ahhh???"
Amidst a burst of exclamations, Lu Mingfei's figure passed through the door and disappeared.
That's right, when he passed through the gate, he caused a ripple as if falling into the water, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Sure enough, Nibelungen."
Seeing this, Sun Haoran laughed as if he was expecting it.
"It seems that she probably did not reshape the entire Bronze City. After all, it is a stupid move to waste meaningless power on rebuilding the city before the war. What we see now is just a fantasy, and what is recast is probably just With this gate, she used the power of word spirit to recreate the original appearance of the Bronze City in the Nibelung style..."
Ange frowned slightly and explained, "If my guess is correct...if we walk through this door, we will probably be able to see the palace where she ruled the world thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago."
"By the way... why don't we go in? Aren't you worried about Lu Mingfei?" Caesar interrupted the two of them from their casual thinking.
