Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 276: Enemy with the World

The Black King is a mysterious figure in the history of both humans and dragons.

To trace the full picture of the Black King, we can only look for relevant records among the White Kings of the same period. Even the four later monarchs did not actually have long-term contact with the Black King.

Historical records about the White King must be obtained from Japan.

So, who knows these things best?

Yuan Zhisheng?
That was nothing more than a pawn being used by Herzog.

The heads of the Snake-Headed Eight Families? Similarly, aside from knowing they were heirs of the White Prince, they knew nothing about the true history of the past.

So, is it Herzog?
We're very close to the answer. Herzog the White was indeed a genius. He studied the remaining ancient sites in Japan and made many contributions using the laboratory left to him by Bondarev.

He quickly understood the relationship between the White King and the Japanese mixed-race individuals, found the key points, and even located the White King's location.

Revive the White King's immortal flesh and blood, allowing him to temporarily regenerate.

However, even Herzog only understood the practicality of the White King, and never thought about 'analyzing the Black King from the perspective of the White King'.

Of course, a man's ultimate goal is simply to become a dragon and achieve supreme power. Now that he already has the superior, readily available flesh and blood of the White King, why would he bury himself in studying the records related to the Black King?

All he knew was the conclusion.

The Black King is the end of this world, the ultimate end of the world.

In Swan Harbor, he conducted countless related studies, violating taboos, but failed time and time again. In the end, out of fear, he left and burned all his research.

However, it is not difficult to see the clear trap from the text just described.

Yes.

Herzog, the seemingly most brilliant man who comes closest to the truth, is built on the fact that he escaped Swan Harbor with Bondarev and used the laboratory Bondarev left for him. Behind everything is this man with the Russian name.

Everything Herzog has done so far has been guided by others.

And the person behind the scenes
Naturally, these are the beings that are now closer to the truth.

"I admit that Dr. Herzog's talent as a researcher is so rare that it would not be an exaggeration to call him the best in the world in the last hundred years."

"But he is inherently evil, rejects humanity, and is too narrow-minded. No matter how he is tested, the conclusion is always that he is 'unable to participate in our great cause'."

Lu Lincheng sighed.

"It's such a pity."

It's not surprising that Lu Lincheng and Herzog seemed to know each other from their conversation.

As mentioned before, Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, as two mixed-race individuals with abnormal bloodlines, used Relic technology in order to have offspring and save the child's life.

Relic technology is Dr. Herzog's specialty, and he successfully modernized that futuristic technology.

Obviously.

Bondarev, and the forces behind him, are the group led by Lu Lincheng who call themselves the Doomsday Faction.

"What have you been chattering about since just now?" Giovanni was still on the sofa, propping her head up with her hand and saying impatiently, "Are you trying to cosplay one of those cunning villains in movies? Luckily I'm here, otherwise you'd look really awkward."

“My dear wife, I’m not talking to myself, nor am I speaking to you.” Lu Lincheng smacked his lips and looked out the window.

“It was said to our good son.”

"!!" Giovanni jumped to her feet. "Where is Mingming?!"

"I do not know."

Lu Lincheng continued to look out the window, overlooking the city that had once brought him countless emotions, but which he now took for granted. Every single second, he witnessed its development. This was a city where only the most outstanding individuals could survive.

“But Mingfei is our child, the most outstanding one. You know what he has accomplished—since he has come to this city, he has countless ways to eavesdrop on our conversations.”

Lu Lincheng said.

“He knows I’m here, and I know he’s listening to everything I just said.”

“Mingfei, we have been following your actions and we have a general understanding of what kind of child you have grown up to be. I also believe that you will not understand our position, but even so, I still want to inform you of the existence of the Black King.”

"No matter what kind of dragon you can defeat, the Black King is the only one that cannot be defeated. This is not through logical deduction or future prediction, but something that has been 'recorded'."

"We will lose."

Lu Lincheng said.

"Human death is something that has already 'happened'."

The ground reflects the flowing color blocks of the billboards, occasionally interrupted by the shadows of the delivery drones that shuttle by.

A swirling black dot revolves around a holographic cherry blossom tree. Two young people wearing glowing jackets lean against a bench, exchanging encrypted data via neural interfaces on their wrists. They're probably a couple; their whispered secrets in this new era are quite ambiguous.

Lu Mingfei leaned against a corner of the bustling commercial street, with Chu Zihang sitting next to him, pretending to stick a data cable he'd gotten from somewhere to his hand.

Beside him stood the towering, dark, pointed building, where Lu Lincheng was located.

Lu Mingfei was indeed able to hear what Lu Lincheng was saying.

As Lu Lincheng said, once inside the city, Lu Mingfei could hear anyone's voice using the imitated [Kamaitachi], at least if Lu Lincheng didn't want to be on guard against him.

He now understands the significance of this city's existence.

Driven by fear of the Black King's arrival, they collected superior hybrid bloodlines in advance and developed technology to build the doomsday shelter.

And just like Lu Lincheng said.

Lu Mingfei doesn't care about these things at all, not even a little bit.

He came here to investigate the forces behind Principal Angers—it has now been confirmed that the city's builder is Existence X, a dragon king, and also the king of the sky and wind, Odin.

However, the only person who knows that the person in charge of this city is the Dragon King is probably Lu Mingfei, who has the ability to see the world. Judging from the fact that Principal Angers will cooperate with this city, from Principal Angers' perspective, this place is most likely a school board that he knows well.

The answer is quite simple.

You can see it as soon as you enter the city.

Lu Mingfei had gone through so much trouble searching, screening, and eliminating.
The result was so ridiculous.

The answer is—all.

Lu Mingfei could see the family crests of those families in every corner of the city as soon as he looked up.

The board of directors are all shareholders in this city of night.

If you want mutual trust, the feasible answer is to "commit a crime together".

Only when both sides have leverage over each other can they entrust each other with secrets.

The board of directors, and indeed the entire European aristocratic circle, are one entity!
Does the principal know this? — He probably does, but given the old man's personality, he's probably thinking of using each other first, and then razing this area to the ground after the dragon clan's campaign is over — after all, he sent his private soldier Chu Tianjiao here, probably with the intention of having him as an inside agent.

Time Zero is a special kind of Word of Power; if left unchecked, it will be an absolute weapon against one's own kind.

but
I never expected the enemy to be so formidable.
