Inside the grand, ancient cathedral, towering black columns supported the arches, and the dome was adorned with countless unknown creatures' white bones.
Crowded together in a chaotic and disorderly fashion, their hollow eyes stared at the massive bronze chair in the hall, where a vague figure with what seemed like a thousand faces leaned over an old, weathered bronze table, holding a classic feather quill.
Despite not being dipped in ink, the quill wrote clear words on the yellowed, rough paper.
"Chu Zihang, president of the Lionheart Society, Class of 2008 at Cassell College, was tasked during the summer vacation with investigating a Hybrid cult incident, which happened to take place in his hometown, Binhai City."
"However, he was unaware that this was a conspiracy aimed at him. Due to repeated disruptions to the plan, the King of the Sky and Wind, Odin, grew wary of the newly risen 'White King' and decided to act sooner, intending to pluck this 'fruit' He had cultivated. This was a logical development."
"So, on another rainy night, while driving on the dark overpass that led home, his car suddenly encountered the culprit responsible for his father's disappearance on a similar rainy night a year and a half ago—the King of the Sky and Wind, Odin. Chu Zihang decided not to retreat and drew his sword to fight Odin."
"However, the small human was no match for the power of a dragon king. Odin easily defeated Chu Zihang."
"Just as Odin was about to control Chu Zihang and erase his existence and memories from the world, he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Uesugi Koeru."
"The reason Uesugi Koeru appeared here was simple. He had received a revelation from a high-dimensional being, which led him to appear at the right moment. With the power of that being, he successfully forced the King of the Sky and Wind to retreat, once again foiling his plan."
"The surprising coincidence was that the King of the Sky and Wind realized that the one who had been secretly manipulating the situation might very well be Adam Anglewid!"
(crossed out!)
"This failure made the King of the Sky and Wind realize that the situation had completely deviated from the track He had planned and was now entirely out of control.
In His rage, He revised the plan and leaked the news about the King of the Bronze and Fire, who slept under the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges, to Cassell College through another's hand.
This was very much in line with His nature."
At the same time, one of the twins, Constantine, after thousands of years, finally reached the time for his "hatching."
This strange change, connected to his bloodline and having lost his memory, reached his brother Ronald Tang (Norton), who had become a human. Their souls connected, and Constantine decided to go to the Bronze Ancient City. This seemed like a logical coincidence.
The King of Bronze and Fire was about to awaken, and the other dragon kings connected by blood felt the call. They decided to take action separately.
The King of Earth and Mountain decided to use the power of Cassell College to eliminate the King of Bronze and Fire, then consume its remains to gain even more power.
Meanwhile, Schneider, the head of the Cassell College Execution Bureau, chose to verify the truth of the information. He sent two specialists, Sakatoku Aki and Ye Sheng, to infiltrate the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River. This fit well with the story's progression.
Due to weather and water level changes, the two specialists faced danger but ultimately survived and confirmed the information's accuracy.
However, with a shortage of personnel in the Execution Bureau, Schneider focused on three individuals who had previously carried out an Eastern task: Chu Zihang, Caesar Gattuso, and Chen Motong.
He also temporarily added the student Xia Mi, who was from the same coastal city as him, to join the "dragon-slaying" mission. This suited Schneider's character.
Upon receiving the mission, the Cassell Dragon-slaying team quickly arrived at the Three Gorges region.
As per the rules, they were split into two groups: Chu Zihang and Chen Motong were to infiltrate the Bronze City and plant bombs, while Caesar Gattuso and Xia Mi were to wait on the water's surface to assist the team below.
However, before they could dive into the underwater Bronze Ancient City, the team encountered Samson, a powerful second-generation Death Servitor who had been guarding the city.
The fierce battle lasted for a long time until a whirlwind torpedo severely injured Samson and killed this powerful second-generation Death Servitor.
After a night of rest, Chu Zihang and Chen Motong finally infiltrated the Bronze Ancient City.
At that moment, Constantine sensed danger and voluntarily sacrificed himself to his brother. He helped Ronald Tang reclaim his true name—Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire.
After absorbing Constantine's power, a heartbroken Norton decided to take revenge on the world. He awakened through the body of the Death Servitor.
"Finally awakening, Norton set his sights on revenge, targeting Chu Zihang and Chen Motong, the ones responsible for Constantine's death."
"Although he didn't have the full body of the Dragon King, Norton's strength was still beyond what a hybrid could handle. But it seemed that fate was always on Chu Zihang's side. Even when they were being relentlessly chased by the furious Dragon King, he and Chen Motong managed to escape from the destroyed Bronze Ancient City at the last moment. It was truly a stroke of luck."
"The King of Sky and Wind realized again that there seemed to be a force from fate that always stopped him. He began to suspect the identity of Adam Anglewid. After a careful and thorough investigation, he was shocked to discover that there was no such person in the world. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air."
"(crossed out forcefully!)"
"Of course, even though the King of Sky and Wind was sharp and cunning, he ultimately could not break free from the confines of the story. How could a character in a story ever investigate those outside of it?"
"In the end, Odin, the King of Sky and Wind, concluded his investigation at the level of Adam Anglewid. He believed that the Black King, with his higher power, had erased this person's existence from the world and suspected that Adam Anglewid might be the 'Son of the Black King,' a guess that matched the dragon lore."
"These small distractions didn't affect the development of the story. After escaping from the underwater Bronze City, the Dragon Slayer quartet officially faced the enraged Dragon King Norton."
"However, the power of the King of Bronze and Fire Norton was too overwhelming. The quartet stood no chance. Just when it seemed like life or death, they were saved by a mysterious figure. Chu Zihang recognized him—surprisingly, it was Lu Mingfei, a classmate from Shilan High School, the one who was always so timid."
"Lu Mingfei's appearance here wasn't a coincidence. In an unknown dream, he had glimpsed part of the truth of the world and decided to change fate himself."
"With the help of Lu Mingze, Lu Mingfei used the Seven Deadly Sins artifact forged from the King of Bronze and the Fire's power to successfully slay the resurrected Dragon King, Norton."
(Many lines have been completely blacked out, even more than before!)
"The bones of Dragon King Norton were transported to Cassell College, and the hero who defeated the Dragon King, Lu Mingfei, was granted special admission into Cassell College under the S-Rank bloodline by Hilbert Ron Anjou. The story seemed to come to a temporary end, but no one noticed that a student named Xia Mi was staring at Norton's dragon bones with a greedy and longing expression."
"The story of Dragon King Norton ends here."
The yellowed, rough notebook was closed, its dark cover facing up.
That figure, seemingly with thousands of faces, solemnly and cautiously placed the feather pen down, exhaling slowly.
Although he had anticipated this, the side effects of the '0-08 Quill of Alzuhod' were still a surprise. It was constantly thinking of ways to deceive the holder, and the slightest mistake could lead to trouble.
The elven girl with wine-red hair tilted her head as she rested it on the desk. Her cute eyes shifted, and she softly asked, "Adam, what happens next?"
Uchiha Sogetsu smiled, reaching out to pat the girl's hair. "To know what happens next, you'll have to wait for the next time."
"Erii doesn't understand."
Erii's big eyes showed confusion.
"It means we should keep a little mystery," Uchiha Sogetsu said gently, his deep, clear gaze seemed to look through the bones in the cathedral, as if staring at the future.
