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

Chapter 185 Don't trust Herzog, this bastard is very bad
"Regarding the earth veins, or dragon veins, there are actually records in the family's ancient book library."

Uesugi Yue explained. Perhaps he noticed the surprised look on Gen Chisei's face, which was full of disbelief and astonishment, "How come I, the emperor, don't know this?" The old man let out a dry laugh and felt a little embarrassed.

"The mirror world you mentioned does exist. It is the reflection of this city, a space that is parallel to the real world but completely different from it."

"I originally thought that the world had long been forgotten in the corner of history and slowly disappeared with the passage of time. I didn't expect that this so-called Holy Grail War would actually allow this hellhole to see the light of day again."

Although Uesugi Yue had served as the most irresponsible Shadow Emperor in the history of the Snake Eight Clan decades ago, during his short tenure, he had stepped into the family's secret ancient book library many times and read those heavy books. Until the day he fled, he burned all the internal materials of the entire library...

After all, he was the emperor, and the family would not have any secrets for him. He memorized most of the records about the ancient legends carefully.

In Uesugi Koshi's memory, Yomiurihara - the place known as the "Mirror World" of Takama-ga-hara, although named "the kingdom of the dead", is actually a prison, a cage used to imprison those deadpool monsters who have fallen due to their out-of-control bloodlines.

The modern Snake Eight Families have cooperated with the secret party to establish a Japanese branch and executive bureau to carry out strict and scientific management of mixed-bloods with unstable bloodlines, but in ancient times, the situation was completely different.

The ancestors of the eight Snake families of Takama-ga-hara, faced with their out-of-control counterparts, chose another extreme method - through cruel alchemy, they transformed them into a special kind of existence and then threw them into the Night Food Field.

The basic step of this alchemical technique is to drain the blood of the hybrid first, and then fill his blood vessels with regenerated mercury. Mercury is a solvent for metals, and the regenerated mercury dissolves the dead metals. Through the slow exchange of the circulatory system, his entire body bones will be replaced by dead metal elements, and then the mercury will be discharged and the refined blood will be refilled.

After many similar processes, an alchemical life made from a complete living body is born. This kind of existence is similar to a corpse guard, not afraid of pain, not tired, with a head of steel and bones, and does not even need muscles and organs, but can move for a long time with only bones and tendons.

The alchemists among the ancestors had hoped that this technology could transform the out-of-control hybrids into reliable fighting forces. However, they underestimated the stubbornness of the dragon's bloodthirsty genes.

The blood in their bodies that has been processed by alchemy and perfused into their bone cavities contains the bloodthirsty genes of dragons that cannot be erased. They cannot be controlled, but will instead kill any living thing without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Finally, all the deadpools who had been processed by alchemy were thrown into the Night Food Field and imprisoned there forever, waiting for the later alchemists to deal with them. However, the later alchemists could not find a way to solve the problem of out-of-control, so the Night Food Field was closed from then on, and became a story that only existed in the classics.

Although the Sheqi Eight Clan knew that such a mirror world existed, they had never tried to discover it. After all, such a super-ancient relic would require at least a few hundred meters of drilling to be found. Moreover, no one could guarantee whether the giant alchemical matrix that maintained the Night Food Origin was still functioning normally.

Uesugi Yue had a clear memory of Yono Gourmet Ground because when he was the Shadow Emperor in the last century, someone suggested finding a way to release the eight ancestors of the Snake Family of Yono Gourmet Ground in order to gain an absolute advantage in the war.

Even the radicals at the time did not dare to support such extremely fanatical and irrational behavior, because with a little thought, they could figure out that once the monsters of the Night Food Field were released, their first target would definitely be their own people before killing the enemy!
Moreover, how many monsters were imprisoned in the Night Food Plain during the long ancient times? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? What kind of horrific disaster would they cause to mankind if they were released?
After deeply understanding the madness of the war years, Uesugi Yue finally chose to burn all the materials in the ancient book library on the day of his escape. This action made it impossible for the later great patriarch Tachibana Masamune and the contemporary film emperor Minamoto Chisei to know that the Tokyo society they lived in was actually stepping on a huge mirror world.

Even now, Uesugi Yue just told these young people that there is indeed such a world, but did not reveal the details.

Emiya's eyes widened. "That is to say, this mirror world has long existed based on the earth veins. Why do you, Master Yue, know this, but you, Genji, don't?"

Yuan Zhisheng looked at Uesugi Yue's embarrassed expression, and suddenly remembered something. Finally, he spread his hands helplessly, "Well, I roughly know... because the information in the Ancient Book Library was burned by my father himself on the day he fled."

No wonder he had never heard of any ancient book library in his family. It was probably burned down at that time, and the materials that escaped the disaster by chance were not enough to form a library.

"...Burned?" Emiya wanted to complain but didn't know where to start. Others escaped to experience life in the world, and if that didn't work out, they could just go home and inherit a 10 billion fortune. But Master Yue really escaped, fearing that he hadn't done enough and would be asked to go back by his family in the end.

"Pfft... Awesome! You are worthy of being Master Yue!" Charlotte covered her mouth, and a suppressed laugh leaked out from between her fingers. She madly laughed at the old man who had just scolded her for a while, "Could it be that he burned all his breath? No way? Don't you even know to leave some tricks for future generations?"

"Yes, they were all burned. I heard from the elders that many of the family's precious and rare books were believed to be lost," Yuan Zhisheng sighed, "I thought it was because of the long history, but I didn't expect that they were all burned by my father himself on the day he fled."

"Wow, cool! It's just like the bosozoku walking around!" Charlotte clapped her hands and said in a sarcastic tone. "Ahem!" Seeing that the focus of the topic was about to fall on criticizing his "great achievements" in the past, Uesugi coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, all I can tell you is this - this damn place does rely on the underground dragon veins to continue to exist. As far as I know, there are monsters in the mirror world, but this is the first time I hear about the shadow servants you mentioned. It should be the distortion caused by the Holy Grail War."

What Uesugi Yue is most worried about now is that something strange has occurred in the Night Food Field, which means that something has sneaked in.

He remembered that the dragon vein that maintained the existence of Night Food Plain was built around the bones of the god. Later, the bones of the god parasitized Susanoo and turned into the Yamata no Orochi, which was sunk into the deep sea by Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi along with Takama-ga-hara. Since then, the dragon vein of Tokyo has been in a state of self-operation. Without anyone to take care of it, it is unknown how many thousands of years it can last.

And since the Night Food Plain was sealed, no one can enter and leave the world of the dead at will. The only thing that can have absolute freedom in the Night Food Plain and roam around it as if it were its own backyard is "God".

In the past, Uesugi Yue, who was free from worries, would have bought a ticket to Lyon, France, packed up and ridden away. But now, his children were still here.

When Uesugi Yue thought of this, his eyelids half closed, and he vaguely recalled the youthful passion of his youth.

There is no other way. He is over a hundred years old and is in the prime of his life. For the sake of his descendants, I have to do it!
So after a brief discussion, at Emiya's suggestion, Uesugi Yue agreed to consider the cooperation invitation from the Holy Church, not to join them, but to persuade them to join -

Anyway, the Holy Grail is about to become a "black cup". How can the church tolerate the sacred symbol becoming a filthy place? It would be nice to pull those people over to run errands and do some work in the name of "the glory of God cannot be desecrated".

Gen Chisei also promised Emiya that he would use the family's power to investigate and collect abnormal events. At the same time, he would arrange to use the geological institutions invested by the family to try to search for the entrance to the mirror world through geological exploration data.

Afterwards, several people went their separate ways and returned home, but Gen Chisei was the only one who lingered and stayed in the church with Uesugi Yue.

"Son, you... aren't coming to talk to me about the Holy Grail War today, are you?" Uesugi Yue silently closed the yellowed pages of the Bible, his old knuckles stroking the wrinkles and bumps on the torn cover.

"Tell me, what else is there that makes you hesitate and come to me, your biological father, for help. Although so many years have passed, no matter how good the gift is, it can't make up for the child support I owe you when you were a child, but in terms of life experience, I can at least help you to the best of my ability."

"Well, it's really a difficult thing." Yuan Zhisheng's fingers unconsciously grasped the armrest of the wooden bench, and his joints turned white from the force. "I should make up my mind in terms of morality, but after all, he is an important person who has been with me for a long time. I can't get over the emotional barrier."

"So that's the question, son. You've asked the right person!" Uesugi Yue clapped his hands, his old eyes sharp as knives. "You can't hesitate when it comes to love. You must take the important things in life seriously! You must seize what you should seize, and don't wait until you miss it to regret it!"

"In a word! How many beauties love idiots, and how many idiots don't cherish them? The words are rough but the truth is true!"

"Ah?" Yuan Zhisheng was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Father, what did you misunderstand? What I wanted to talk about was the matter of my 'father'..."

Gen Chisei recounted what happened on the night of the summoning last night, and also told him about Tachibana Masamune's "life experience". Uesugi Yue listened to the whole thing, seeming to be lost in thought.

"You said that Tachibana Masamune claimed that his mother was Tachibana Misa, a branch of the Tachibana family?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Of course that's not right. I don't remember such a person in the Tachibana family."
