Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 102: Thunder and the Watcher (12)

Dragon Raja 5

Lancelot and Susie exchanged a glance, both surprised. They hadn’t received such intelligence beforehand.

What surprised them was not that some powerful will could replace the student union president they were familiar with, but that Lu Mingfei could actually fight against that will.

Some dragons lose their memory during the repeated cocooning and resurrection process. If they are resurrected in human form, they may mistakenly believe they are humans and even live in human society for many years. But once their memory is restored, they become dragons and will not be entangled in what they are.

For example, Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, when he realized that he was Norton, the person “Old Tang” no longer existed. The same was true for Jörmungandr, the King of Earth and Mountains. She disguised herself as Xia Mi for so many years, but she proudly admitted that she was the Dragon King before her death.

The person who wondered if he was a butterfly was Zhuang Zhou, but dragons are not as romantic as Zhuang Zhou. When they wake up, they wake up and they will destroy the world.

“But no one dares to say they are a match for the devil, even if they are prepared to die,” the crow said softly. “There was once a man who ultimately lost to the devil within himself. By the time he woke up, it was too late to save him.”

Lancelot was silent for a moment. “Mr. Genjiro.”

The academy compiled a very detailed report on the causes and consequences of the Battle of Tokyo, which Lancelot read page by page. So although he did not participate in that war, he knew every detail by heart.

Crow nodded. “My conditions are simple. If you ensure the safety of Lu Mingfei, Chen Motong, and Chu Zihang, I will help you capture them. They can be captured, but they must be treated with respect and sent back to Cassel Academy safely. What happens after that has nothing to do with me.”

“Chu Zihang?” Susie was stunned, then she remembered the name.

The face of the young man, or boy, flashed through her mind for a moment, and she subconsciously touched her chest. The key the young man had thrown to her was on her necklace. If it weren’t for the key, she would have died in the fire.

But it seemed that she didn’t need to be grateful, because the fire was originally set by the other party. It was just that he still cared about the life and death of his opponent in that situation. He should be a kind-hearted child… When she thought of this, she was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously thought of Chu Zihang as a child again, but the guy with childlike eyes clearly had a body as fierce as a leopard.

Crow shrugged. “I don’t know much about that guy. They told me a lot about cause and effect lines and timelines, but I was completely confused. According to them, it seems that before this world was modified by some kind of word spirit, he and Chu Zihang were good friends. But now you can just think of him as Chen Motong’s godson.”

“He’s very capable in combat. If we don’t take into account Lu Mingfei’s dragon transformation, he might even be the strongest among them,” Susie said. “He has an excellent bloodline and has undergone very rigorous training. Who is he?”

Lancelot waved his hand slightly to stop her from asking further questions. Chu Zihang was certainly worthy of study, but not at the moment.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Saeki, but I can’t make that promise.” Lancelot stared into the crow’s eyes and shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t. Facing a Dragon King-level target, we can’t even guarantee our own safety, so how can we guarantee the target’s safety?”

The crow was silent, with its head bowed, drinking from cup. Lancelot was also silent, drinking.

The petals from the tall trees were still spinning and falling around them, the pot was boiling, but the beef was cooked but no one reached for it.

Crow raised his head and said, “Then I will change the terms of the deal, but this is also my bottom line.”

Susie was surprised to find that just by looking up and down, the crow’s eyes had aged. He was no longer the arrogant and domineering gangster, but more like a tired old man.

“Go on,” said Lancelot.

“If there are no dead on your side, then you cannot launch a lethal attack on them.” Crow said slowly, “Only when the death toll on your side reaches three can you use the weapons you brought from the academy.”

“What weapon?” Lancelot was startled, but he immediately controlled himself and his tone remained calm.

“I don’t know, but I’m sure you brought weapons powerful enough to deal with the Dragon King. You came here to hunt, not to die.”

Lancelot was silent again, and after a long moment, he nodded. “Deal.”

It was just two simple words, but Lancelot didn’t say it so easily.

The Crow’s condition meant they could no longer use helicopter strafing and firepower coverage as before, burying their targets from outside the battlefield. Their first option became capturing Lu Mingfei, which undoubtedly increased the risk. However, they could only use their trump card when the death toll reached three.

The subtext of this condition is that three of the people present may have to be sacrificed.

“What is Mr. Saeki’s plan?” Susie asked.     

“The most difficult part of capturing them is avoiding innocent casualties. You’ve all seen Lu Mingfei in his dragon form, right in the heart of Tokyo. If it happens again, I’m afraid it won’t end so well.” Crow said slowly, “But I once witnessed a battle with my own eyes, one that took place in a place without heaven or earth.”
