The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 139: Emiya: You guys are so dramatic
In the laboratory, the anxiety on Herzog's face became more and more serious, and his whole face was solemn and gloomy, as if water could almost drip out of it.

Clear memories from more than ten years ago kept reappearing in his mind.

In my memory, Bondarev claimed to be a KGB major. He was handsome and tall, with iron-gray hair combed neatly back. During the Black Swan Port period, Bondarev often wore a dark gray officer's uniform with a "Red Flag Medal" on his chest.

This man looked like a thorough soldier, but when Herzog met him for the first time, he felt that this man was as cunning, tricky and difficult to deal with as a male fox. Even his KGB identity might be a disguise... Yes, how could such a man be assassinated so casually and easily?

The doubts are becoming more and more obvious...

Herzog actually had a worse guess.

Bondarev was the one who suddenly entered Black Swan Port more than ten years ago and told him the truth about the history of the Dragon Clan. It was also at that time that the government authorities of Black Swan Port gave up their investment in themselves and cut off all material resource support for Black Swan Port.

This meant that from that moment on, everything was aimed at him. It was a big game that Herzog had arranged and was constantly unfolding, and this game even included influencing the decision-making of the government authorities!
The man named Bondarev had planned it from the beginning, letting him step into the chess game. Even if he succeeded in counterattacking, it was still within the plan of Bondarev and the organization behind him.

So that’s it!
Herzog muttered to himself quietly, then nodded slightly as if realizing something.

Bondarev was so confident that the situation was still under control because the other party relied on stealing his research and cloning experimental subjects to cultivate a work more perfect than embryo ξ (Uesugi Eriya) over the years.

Shirou Emiya! A stable and powerful hybrid, a safe and controllable chess piece that can kill the Dragon King head-on!
Herzog created tens of thousands of homologous embryos during his time at Black Swan Harbor. The three works that he was most satisfied with were the brothers Gennochisei and Gennochijo, and their sister Uesugi Eri.

But the former two are of extremely high value and are well-deserved royal blood. But even so, they are far inferior to Uesugi Eriya, who is the most perfect container for the White King's Holy Relics in Herzog's plan.

But the flaw is that compared to Emiya Shirou, Eri's own bloodline is strong but unstable. She is a "ghost" with a higher bloodline than the "Emperor"!
This extremely high level of bloodline resulted in Eri being born with the ability to use dragon words. The result of her opening her mouth was a command to lead all life to death. This was recorded in the Word Spirit Sequence List as the extremely dangerous Word Spirit "Judgment" with sequence number 111.

The defect of unstable bloodline also makes Eri prone to rampage and depravity once she uses her ability. In order to maintain her health regularly, the Snake Eight Clan has invested extremely high medical costs, which requires the use of a serum extracted from Deadpool's fetus as a treatment method.

The production of Deadpool fetal serum is naturally inseparable from the Deadpool experiment, so Herzog had to take advantage of the convenience of his identity as "Masamune Tachibana" and use the channels of the gang to conduct large-scale population transactions and artificially cultivate Deadpool mothers in order to obtain Deadpool fetal serum.

It has to be said that from this perspective, the prominent status and powerful power of "Tachibana Masamune", the leader of the Japanese underworld, has brought Herzog countless conveniences and benefits.

However, great power often comes with risks. Once this inhumane experiment is exposed, it will be a scandal that shakes the entire Snake Eight Clan, and Tachibana Masamune's position will be unstable...

"You are amazing, Bondarev. You actually found out about Aoi-ya!"

Herzog put on the Noh mask that looked like the smiling face of a noble again. The shadow that emerged from his memory many years ago made him feel anxious and panicked.

The enemy's chess piece has been placed on his vital point. If he does not make any move, he may be checkmate.

But stay calm, stay calm, there is still room for turning around.

Things are different now. There are an astonishingly large number of gangsters on the dark side of this country at his disposal. Herzog's power base can be said to be as solid as a rock.

Bondarev, even if it's you, you can't ruin the plan I have carefully prepared for many years!

Xia Mi was crawling in the dark, damp and cold underground... At the same time, according to the requirements of Norton's booklet "Underground Spiritual Vein Construction Guidelines", she arranged an alchemical circuit for the flow of magic power.

It was like performing a delicate surgical operation on a fallen mountain giant—a "giant" whose body was as big as the entire Tokyo. Soil and rock layers intertwined from time to time, and there was a network of moist underground rivers flowing, as complex as the delicate vascular tissue of the human body. Xia Mi had to concentrate on surveying the terrain, planning quickly, and working at full speed...

Even though Xia Mi, as the king of the earth and mountains, has incredible abilities that can be called an innate holy body of earth and wood, he is still exhausted by this job.

"No, I won't do it next time no matter what you say! I am the king of the earth and the mountains, not the king of burrows and groundhogs!"

After checking the progress of her own land veins, Xia Mi found that she had only completed one-third of them. She almost fainted from the endless workload. This did not even include the pile of heroic spirit design drawings!
Xia Mi, who was always angry because of the heavy workload, ran back to the large hole in the underground passage. "Norton! You must summon a helper for me!"

Miss Xia Mi was very angry and the consequences were serious. She expressed her firm protest by complaining and making trouble. If it was not approved, she would go on strike and resign!
Norton's unpleasant reply came from the Mercury Curtain:

"Who else do you think can help you? Constantine and I both need to continuously carry out the Heroic Spirit Project. The burden on both of us is no lighter than yours... Or do you plan to strike now and sit back and wait for Odin to revive and destroy our overall plan?"

"This... isn't there that... Fenrir, he's free! He is also the king of earth and mountains, and he works ten times faster than me!" Xia Mi thought for a long time and came up with a name full of uncertainty.

"Is this true, Fenrir? Not to mention that his size is very eye-catching. Besides, with this dragon's intelligence, can he understand the content of his work? Or does he only need to follow your instructions, and you are responsible for failing at the critical moment?"

Norton's tone was full of doubt. The first generation were definitely not unfamiliar with each other's temperament.

Although Norton was not as familiar with Fenrir as Xia Mi, judging from the performance of this stupid dragon since ancient times, Fenrir was only capable of doing things that did not require thinking: fighting, destruction, killing, daydreaming, etc.

If he is to be responsible for technical work, he must have an external brain like Xia Mi to give orders from the side... But Xia Mi herself is not a technical expert. If she, an outsider, is allowed to give orders, she might fail at the critical moment. Therefore, adding an external brain as insurance may not be reliable.

"Who said I would fail?"

Xia Mi took a deep breath, and she almost wanted to crush the alchemy array used for long-distance space connection. She certainly knew that Norton on the other side was capable and qualified to show off his alchemy skills all day long, but this was no reason to slander her, the King of the Earth and the Mountain!
"Oh, you mean you won't let me down, right? Very good, remember what you said now. I will build a new space and open a passage here, and you open a door to Nibelungen in Shenzhou. I will teleport Fenrir to your side to help you. Correspondingly, if anything goes wrong during the Holy Grail War, I will automatically blame you!"

"Just remember it if you want! You sound like you're afraid I'll regret it!"

Xia Mi curled her lips. She felt that this was another case of Norton being stubborn and fussy...but she herself had no awareness of the huge risks she faced at all times as a technical rookie.

"I'm worried about regretting it!"

Norton shook his head as he spoke. Why was he worried about this? What he was worried about was that Jörmungandr and Fenrir, this smart duo, might cause him some unsolvable accidents during the Holy Grail War, and Norton would be too busy now to rush over to deal with them.

"Honestly, I would rather Jörmungandr have you give the position of Dragon King to Emiya. It would be much easier for him to work with me than with you!"

Norton remembered that last time Xia Mi suspected that Emiya was the incarnation of Constantine. Although Norton later confirmed that it was not the case, he had to admit that Emiya was the world's top alchemy genius.

As for Jörmungandr, she is just a suitor!
Xia Mi suddenly felt unhappy. She raised her fist to threaten him. "I say, since Emiya is not your biological brother and you are not close to him, why are you calling him so often? He is from Japan and should be considered a descendant of the White King..."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Norton decisively denied it:

"That's impossible! Emiya is definitely not a descendant of the White King, and he may not even be a Japanese hybrid... because his words are 'Heaven and Earth as the Furnace'."

"what!"

Xia Mi also understood it instantly, and was so surprised that she didn't say anything to refute.

The reason is simple. The word spirit "Heaven and Earth as a Furnace" which was created specifically for alchemy is, in terms of bloodline, the word spirit of the Bronze and Fire King lineage, while the unique word spirits of the White King lineage mostly act on the spiritual realm, such as "Dream Tapir" and "Senro" and so on.

The first generation cannot reproduce due to the restrictions of the Black King, but they can give dragon blood to cause mutations in all living things, including humans. The dragon gene fragments contained in these hybrids are the source of the first generation, which is the so-called bloodline.

The words and spirits will partially reflect one's own bloodline. Other signs can be faked, but the bloodline origin can never be faked.

"So... could he be from Shenzhou?"
