A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 247 Xia Mi: These Dark Histories Were All Fabricated by Fenrir

"I've said so much, what about you?" Xu Lie now felt full of humanity and no longer just accepted Xia Mi's questions: "I admit that I lied to you in the past, and I should give you an explanation."

"By the same token, hasn't our esteemed Queen of the Earth and Mountains, one of the four great dragon monarchs, also lied?"

Xia Mi, who had just been secretly pleased, was suddenly drenched in sweat and forced a smile. Oh right, she was also hiding her identity!

She didn't tell anyone that she was the Queen of the Earth and the Mountains.

Wait a minute, how exactly was she exposed? How did all the mixed-race factions in the world know she was in the capital?

Thinking of this, the sweat stopped, and Xia Mi put on a dignified expression again: "There is a reason for this. You see, once everyone knows my identity, they will definitely come looking for trouble for me, just like now."

"I had no choice but to keep it a secret; I had my reasons."

"And another thing, Xu Lie, do you know how I was exposed? I've always been careful and cautious, never daring to use my abilities recklessly, and I've lived a very low-key life."

Xu Lie shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the 'Lu Mingfei' I met today has a mastermind behind him named Lu Mingze."

"It was Lu Mingze who sent someone to leak information on the Hunter website, saying that the King of Earth and Mountains was in the capital."

Lu Mingfei? Lu Mingze? Such unfamiliar names, they sound like brothers.

Are they also twins on the throne?
But that's not right. In Xia Mi's eyes, 'Lu Mingfei' is clearly not one of her brothers and sisters.

Knowing that the other party was the mastermind, Xia Mi was filled with hatred and regret. She felt that her previous whip kick in mid-air was too weak. If only she could have blown Lu Mingfei's head off.

"You don't think this is the only thing you've lied about, do you?" Xu Lie stared at Xia Mi with a strange look in his eyes. You think that's all?

Xu Lie was curious about just how thick-skinned this Dragon King really was.

"Huh?" Xia Mi immediately perked up, puffed out her chest and raised her head, showing off her wealth: "There really is only this one! Apart from hiding my identity, I haven't lied to you about anything."

"Tsk tsk." Xu Lie had to help the prematurely forgetful Xia Mi recall: "You said that during the Spring Festival, Mom and Dad took my brother back to our hometown."

"You're the only one living at home, so you invited me to dinner."

"Leaving aside your brother for now, Nibelungen can be considered your hometown, but what about your so-called parents?"

"..." Xia Mi shuddered, the sweat that had stopped flowing down her face started again, and the smile on her face was more stiff than a statue.

In order to fabricate the identity of Xia Mi, Jormungandr fabricated a family background of four people, which he used when he invited Xu Lie to celebrate the New Year together.

"This, this is also part of hiding my identity! It doesn't count!" Xia Mi waved her hands and feet, trying to get away with it by making up excuses.

Xu Lie looked at Xia Mi with a half-smile, which made Xia Mi feel uneasy. She felt that if she continued to be stubborn, something very troublesome would happen: "Well, how about this?"

"We've both deceived each other, so let's call it even and wipe the slate clean, shall we?"

Xu Lie rolled his eyes in annoyance. The longer he spent with Xia Mi, the more complex his personality seemed to become: "What do you think?"

Xia Mi gave up, looking completely defeated: "Then what do you want?"

As she spoke, Xia Mi suddenly became wary, hugging herself tightly: "Let's make this clear first, I won't agree to anything too outrageous, like, like..."

After much deliberation, the blushing king of the earth and mountains still couldn't come up with a solution.

Xu Lie's demands weren't high; just chatting more and improving one's humanity was already good enough: "I've said so much before, now it's your turn. Tell me about your situation?"

"When I talk to Fenrir, all I hear are stories about how you were bullied by your brothers and sisters and how Fenrir stood up for you."

"!" Xia Mi's face flushed red, her fists clenched tightly, and she hardened. Just how much of her past embarrassing history had her brother told Xu Lie?!
Deep in Fenrir, in the Nibelungen metro, a huge sneeze suddenly erupted, so loud it startled even the weasel hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Fenrir's enormous dragon body felt a slight chill.

"You, you shouldn't believe this." Xia Mi, for the sake of her own reputation, did not hesitate to insult her own brother: "You know, my brother has a bad memory, and a lot of things are made up by him."

"Fenrir... making things up? Ha, hahaha!" Xu Lie felt his intelligence had been insulted by Xia Mi, his shoulders trembling as he couldn't hide his laughter.

If you were to choose one of the two Dragon Kings, Fenrir and Shami, to believe, anyone would know who is honest and trustworthy.

Besides, with Fenrir's IQ, could he really make up nonsense? There's a limit to telling jokes, isn't there? "Aaaaah! I'll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back! Stop laughing, Xu Lie! You're still laughing! You haven't stopped at all!"

Having given up, Xia Mi tried to quickly divert Xu Lie's attention by immediately telling him her story of being born as a human: "Alright, alright, listen to me."

"Like humans, dragons were originally just children who came into this world. So in order to hide my identity and integrate into society, I had to learn how to play the role of a human being."

"It takes a lot of effort to observe and figure out why people laugh and cry. It took me a long time to understand."

"I disguised my identity and entered the preparatory class. My original plan was to quietly advance to the Kassel headquarters, use the power of the Secret Service to help me find my other brothers and sisters, and devour their Dragon Bone Crosses."

“Then, I saw you.” Xia Mi paused, then looked deeply at Xu Lie: “As two people without friends, we might be the people we know best.”

"I don't have any friends." Xu Lie couldn't refute this. After transmigrating, the mystery of his birth, and the butterfly effect, he and the overly solitary Xia Mi resonated with a certain sense of loneliness.

Seeing that Xu Lie's attention had been successfully diverted, Xia Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly distanced herself from the situation: "As for my brother, Fenrir, you are very familiar with him."

“When Nidhogg created me and my brother, or rather, when he created the four monarchs and the eight dragon kings, he left different imperfections for all the twins on the throne.”

"For example, Norton and Constantine. In fact, Constantine's power far surpasses Norton's, but Constantine was born with a deficiency, unable to condense a huge dragon body, unable to exert the power of the Dragon King's physical body, and was cowardly by nature."

"For example, my brother and I. My brother is clearly the one with the greatest strength, but his intelligence is limited by the Black King to the level of a 4 or 5-year-old child."

"The Black King must be thinking that, if forced to, we will devour the other one on the throne, just like the cowardly Constantine who was willing to be devoured by Norton, just like that stupid brother who was willing to be devoured by me."

"But who would do that? Thousands of years! That's the only family member who can stay with you. Who would be willing to swallow that up?"

“I can handle it,” Xu Lie blurted out abruptly.

Xia Mi was so flustered that she stared blankly at Xu Lie.

Xu Lie spoke as sincerely as possible: "I won't lie to you about this."

"Actually, there are many ways to address Fenrir's intellectual problems for the old church."

"For example, we have a Sequence 9 Common Knowledge Potion, whose core ability is to awaken all memories, while greatly enhancing comprehension and learning abilities."

"Fenrir is not very intelligent and often forgets many memories, but once he remembers them all, he may be able to overcome the Black King's limitations on his own, thanks to his enhanced comprehension and learning abilities."

"Or, we could try to cultivate a Sequence 6 wild schemer and seal their extraordinary characteristics as artifacts, which might give them the ability to increase intelligence."

"If all else fails, I'll take a look myself. Maybe I can find some loopholes and exploit any bugs to bypass the Black King's settings."

"?" Xia Mi became more and more confused as she listened. Potions, sequences, extraordinary characteristics, sealed artifacts?
What is all this nonsense? How did it end up pointing to a bug?
Are the powers left over from the past really that complex and mysterious?

Or, if Fenrir can acquire these things, doesn't that mean she can too?

If one could obtain the power left over from the past, would it be possible to overcome the doomsday when the Black King would eventually return, without relying on the protection of the Heavenly Venerable Fusheng Xuanhuang?
Thinking of this, Xia Mi's interest soared.

Today's chaotic battle is nothing compared to what Wa Zhu's Word of Power, Ice Emperor, and Word of Power, Nine-Headed Serpent, are like insignificant to Xia Mi.

These are all things that can be forcibly canceled using the Dragon King's authority.

However, Wa Zhu's mirror substitute, Chu Zihang's arson, Fingel's secret technique, and Su Xi's ridiculously lucky ability to make the alchemical revolver jam all left a deep impression on Xia Mi.

Especially during Xu Lie's final battle against 'Lu Mingfei', his various incomprehensible tactics left Xia Mi in awe.

Without commanding or summoning any elements, and without using alchemy, he simply relied on the power left over from the past to bring over the concept of 'Lu Mingfei' through alchemy.

Xia Mi really wants such a bizarre ability!

"Ahem, Xu Lie, you see, I've joined the Church of the Old Ones too, so shouldn't I get a share of those potions and sealing artifacts?"

Xu Lie rolled his eyes at Xia Mi, annoyed: "You haven't made any contributions yet, and you want potions and sealing artifacts?"

"Let's talk about it after you've made a contribution to the church."
