Brass Dragons in the Dragon World

Are you here to humiliate me?

Lu Lincheng put the teapot back in the box. He understood what Ander meant. If he couldn't even satisfy his own wife, finding nine more wives would just be a matter of eye candy.

Snapped!

The next second, a red mark appeared on Lu Lincheng's face.

“Lu Lincheng, let me tell you, Qiao Weini helped me back then, so don’t do anything to betray her.”

Ander slowly sat down. He couldn't help but hit Lu Lincheng earlier. Over the years, Ander had developed some feelings for Lu Li, and it was normal for him to stand up for Qiao Weini out of love for her.

"I don't want to deal with you cockroaches. Just remember to patch the leaks."

After saying that, Ander left without looking back, leaving Lu Lincheng covering his face and sitting on the sofa in a daze for a long time.

Chapter 85 Growth Requires Trace Elements

Commissioner Li Gang, who had just joined the relevant department, was very proud. The organization assigned him a difficult task.

He was an ordinary mixed-race person born and raised in China, and had never studied at Kassel College in the United States. Therefore, he was always considered inferior to those who had returned from overseas studies in relevant departments.

In addition, Li Gang had not been with the relevant department for long, and he was of average appearance. He usually did some paperwork and was not assigned to field duties.

But this time was different. Li Gang was called into the boss's office and was told in a tone that implied he'd hit the jackpot:

“A very important person is coming to the capital soon, and you are in charge of protecting him.”

Li Gang left the office in a daze. He never got the chance to be a bodyguard. After working in the office for so long, today was finally his lucky day.

Later, Li Gang learned that the reason he was chosen was because they needed an inconspicuous person as a guard, but most mixed-race people were quite good-looking, so he, with his ordinary appearance, became the best candidate.

Li Gang will remember that morning even 30 years from now. It was a rare blue sky in Beiping, with the sun shining brightly in the sky and the earth as hot as an iron plate.

Li Gang waited for a long time at the airport arrival gate before finally meeting the important person he was supposed to protect: Lu Ande, one of the founders of the relevant department, also known as Old Lu.

Looking at Old Lu's youthful face, Li Gang sighed that it was good to be of mixed blood with high bloodlines; even at over a hundred years old, he was still as young as a young man.

Old Lu suddenly said to him:

"Get ready, we're going to take the subway."

"Mr. Lu, we have prepared a car for you."

Li Gang felt two taps on his shoulder, and then heard Ander continue:

"No, my mission in Beiping is to take the subway, so you have to come with me."

To be honest, Li Gang thought he had misheard, but what happened next surprised him greatly.

The older gentleman got a brand new subway card at the counter, and then we embarked on a day of subway travel together.

This old man would exit and re-enter each subway station, then exit and re-enter at the next station, repeating this cycle as if he were performing some strange ritual.

Not long ago, Beijing only had two subway lines: one was a north-south line running through the city from west to east, and the other was a loop line starting from Fuxingmen.

Not long ago, due to the successful bid for the Olympics, the government invested money in subway construction, and one line was recently completed.

Even with only three subway lines, exiting and re-entering each station is quite time-consuming. Li Gang spent an entire day running around in the subway with this big shot.

"There really is nothing there."

Ander looked at the ordinary travel card. He was now standing in the driver's cab of a train, and the travel card was placed on the platform.

This is the last train of the day. The train has reached its destination for the day, Apple Orchard Station. What Ander was hoping for did not happen; the Nibelungen hidden in the subway did not appear.

In the original story, Nibelungen, the land of the earth and mountains, is hidden at the terminus of Beijing Subway Line 1. Only by using a single transit card to pass through all the subway stations in Beijing can one gain access to this land of the dead.

But it seems it's not the right time yet; perhaps the king of the earth and mountains has not yet awakened.

Ander patted Li Gang, who was standing to the side.

"Young man, you've worked hard. Let's have a meal together later."

Li Gang scratched his head. He was exhausted after a long day, but more than being tired, he wanted to know what this senior was up to.

Ander stepped off the platform and released his magic to carefully sense the space, but he could not sense any fluctuations or disharmony.

Nibelungen is likely not here yet; the complete form of the King of the Earth and Mountains is Hela, the queen of the land of the dead.

This likely means she possesses the ability to manipulate the Nibelungen, and it wouldn't be surprising if she could move a Nibelungen to a different location.

"It doesn't matter, we can just come more often in the future."

Ander was somewhat disappointed; he hadn't found it this time and would probably have to wait a while longer.

Disappointed, Ande dragged Li Gang to a nearby barbecue stall, where they ate a meal of lamb skewers and drank a case of beer. In the end, Ande dragged Li Gang back to the family compound of the relevant department.

Later, Li Gang was severely reprimanded by his superiors and served as a clerk for ten years, mainly responsible for receiving Ander when he came to Beijing to take the subway.

The next day, at the affiliated hospital of the relevant department, Ander looked at the boy in front of him. He had long golden hair, which was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and he looked somewhat childish.

He sat on a medical bed, pretending to be calm, his head held high, as if he were the most important person in the world.

"Caesar, lift up your clothes and let your uncle see."

The woman beside him spoke softly to the child, whose expression changed, and who finally reluctantly lifted his clothes.

Its small body was covered with light golden scales, which were densely distributed on its lower abdomen and chest.

"Mr. Ander, please come and take a look."

Ander stepped forward, gently touched the pale golden scales, and then lightly ran his fingernail over them, looking at the white marks revealed on the scales.

Little Caesar seemed a little itchy and wanted to laugh out loud, but he held back in the end, maintaining a cool and aloof expression.

"Insufficient hardness, too light color, ma'am, let me see your hand."

Ander turned to the other side to attack Gulweg. She removed the longevity lock from her neck, and her pinkish-white arms became somewhat ferocious. The thick claws and scales made the woman instantly become aggressive.

Ander, however, nonchalantly poked the scaly hand, carefully observed the color of the scales, and finally came to a conclusion.

"This indicates a deficiency in trace elements."

A few days before Ander came to China, Gulweger contacted him and said that Caesar had been sickly lately and that his scales would fall off when he took a bath. He wondered what had happened.

Ander, of course, could not allow anything to happen to the holy son chosen by Bahamut, so after failing to find Nibelungen, he immediately went to find Caesar and Gulveig, who were still in China.

"A deficiency in trace elements?"

Gulweger was puzzled. Caesar's diet had been taken care of by a specialist over the years, and his nutrition was balanced. How could he be lacking in micronutrients?

"Metal dragons will ingest metals of the same origin as themselves to strengthen their scales. As a brass dragon, I need to eat some brass."

“And you and Caesar are descendants of the Golden Dragon, which means you need to consume some gold.”

In fact, all the dragon descendants of the Chinese are descendants of brass dragons. The main components of brass are copper and zinc, which are widely present in daily diets and do not require special supplementation.

However, unlike Gulweg and Caesar, who were directly transformed into golden dragons by Bahamut, they need to supplement their bodies with gold to meet their needs.

"Here, consider it New Year's money. You can use it to grind your teeth when you have nothing to do."

Ander took a small cylindrical gold bar out of his bag and handed it to Caesar. Metal dragons have a tradition of giving their cubs pocket money, usually a few gold coins or a gem, as their future start-up capital.

Little Caesar looked at the gold bar in his hand, swallowed hard, and put on a grown-up air, saying:

"Mr. Ander, thank you for the gift."

Gulweger watched her serious-looking son, who had learned to put on airs since he was twelve, just like his father.

Chapter 86 Internet Addict Girl

With the micronutrient deficiency of little Caesar resolved, Ander's trip to China can be considered a complete success.

However, Gulweger told Ander that the Gattuso family seemed to be acting strangely lately, with some even poisoning his food in an attempt to kill him.

“Mr. Ander, I plan to leave Caesar’s side temporarily and go to Kassel College to hide for a while.”

Gulweg's background seems to be related to Odin. She originally lived in a mixed-race family in Norway, but her parents died mysteriously. She was found by the Gattuso family and eventually had no choice but to marry Gattuso of Pompeii.

According to the Gattuso family, the Gulveig name is cursed, and it now appears that Odin himself placed the curse on the Gulveig family.

As for why Gattuso attacked her, Gulweg doesn't know yet, but she doesn't want to implicate her child and would rather leave him for a while.

Have you talked to your child about it?

"No, but I will tell him."

Gulweg didn't know what secrets the Gattuso family held, but she knew she was no longer fit to stay by Caesar's side; this temporary departure was for a better reunion.

"You don't need to worry about me. I'm not the weak woman I used to be."

A gentle breeze suddenly arose in the enclosed room, and a spirit resembling an angel appeared behind Gulveig, except that this angel had a lizard's head and its wings had turned into dragon wings.

But the halo around his head was still there, which looked very awkward.

"Spirit Guardian, are you now a priest of the Platinum Dragon King?"

Spirit Weapon is a third-circle spell that can summon spirits to protect oneself. Only those of the good alignment can summon angel-like spirits.

Gulveig nodded. Since being blessed by Bahamut, she had become a Life Priest and was around level 8, mainly thanks to the blessing she received.

"Okay, good luck."

Later, Ander heard that Gulvig died at the Gattuso estate in Italy from a parasitic disease.

Caesar remained indifferent at her funeral, watching his mother being buried with a blank expression, and afterwards received his education in Italy under the Gattuso family.

A strange little chapel has appeared inside the Kassel College, where only one nun lives. Every Sunday, she makes pasta and distributes it to those who come to pray.

Of course, I would occasionally make Old Beijing-style fried noodles with soybean paste, which tasted pretty good and became a popular place for poor students to get free meals.

Getting back to the main point, Ander returned to Kassel College by plane. Technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, and Angers' private jet, named Sleipnir, has undergone several upgrades and is now faster.

But Ender actually prefers slower, regular planes because that way he can chat with people along the way and enjoy the scenery outside the window.

Dragons have plenty of time and can relax a bit.

Ander has had a very fulfilling life these past few years, mainly because a little guy has given him a lot to do.

But how should I put it? Sometimes raising a human cub is quite nice, after all, Ender really likes soft and cute little things.

However, the inconsistency between the sleep schedules of dragons and humans has always troubled Ender. You can't expect a dragon to wake up every two hours to feed its child, nor can you expect a baby to sleep for three days after eating one meal.

So, in the beginning, Ander suffered a lot, but as Luli grew up, Ander gradually became more relaxed.
