Chapter 393 Bronze City and the Seven Deadly Sins
The former rulers of this world were not humans, but dragons.
The giant dragons, led by the Black King Nidhogg, controlled powerful words and alchemy, created a highly developed dragon civilization, and suppressed all races on Earth.
The Black King is the supreme being, born from the earth, and is the ultimate life with absolute power and authority.
He directly gave birth to four twin kings under his seat, namely the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Earth and Mountains, the King of Ocean and Water, and the King of Sky and Wind. They are the first generation at the top of the tower.
Of course, in addition to the four kings, the Black King also bred the White King, the high priest of spiritual elements, whose strength was second only to his own, but he had already been nailed to the Copper Pillar in the Ice Sea by the Black King because of rebellion.
And humans, in order to liberate the serfs, stole the bloodline of the dragon clan, thus giving birth to the hybrid species of humans and dragons.
Although they maintained their human bodies, they were strengthened and amplified by dragon blood, and most importantly, the power of words, which was a special ability similar to super powers.
As the wheel of time rolled by, the mixed-bloods grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming secret family forces.
Until the dragon clan was weakened by internal strife, humans took the opportunity to rise up and kill the Black King.
Without a leader, defeat is inevitable.
Perhaps the rewriting of history was destined. The dragon dynasty was overthrown, and humans became the new masters of the earth.
But the four kings and many dragons have a plan to resurrect. To this day, the war between the dragons and the hybrids has not ended and is going on in secret all the time.
Kassel Academy in Chicago, USA, is a special school that trains mixed-blood warriors to hunt dragon-blood creatures. Its leadership is composed of powerful mixed-blood families.
The predecessor of the academy was the most radical and famous dragon-slaying organization - the Secret Party.
……
Wow~
Samson of the second generation was like a black spear that pierced through the thick water curtain, carrying Chu Xin into the pitch-dark river bottom. Only their burning golden eyes were shining.
Following a crack in the riverbed, Chu Xin saw a corner of the huge city made entirely of metal. It was like a giant Pandora's box, quietly lurking under an unknown river, silently telling an unknown history.
"Baidi City." He said silently.
During the Han Dynasty, the awakened Norton and Constantine came to the Bashu area from Northern Europe. In order to hide their identities, they became subordinates of Gongsun Shu.
With Norton's assistance and help, Gongsun Shu was assisted by God and soon proclaimed himself emperor in Sichuan. Norton, who used the alias Li Xiong, also became a powerful figure second only to the emperor.
Afterwards, Norton built the Bronze City as a palace for himself and his brother, and spent a brief period of peace there.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Liu Xiu joined forces with the Dragon Slaying Family to attack and kill Gongsun Shu and attack Baidi City.
Surrounded by the flames of war, Norton released his exclusive world-destroying spirit "Zhulong", overturned Baidi City, and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop. In this battle, the two brothers died, but Norton had already prepared the bone bottle, which was the egg used for resurrection, and then there was the subsequent development in the 21st century.
It was not until the construction of the Three Gorges Dam that Baidi City was submerged by the river.
As Norton said, "The so-called fate of the abandoned tribe is to cross the wilderness, raise the battle flag again, and return to their hometown. Death is not terrible, it is just a long sleep. Before I can devour this world, it is better to sleep peacefully than to trek alone. We will still wake up."
Death is not scary. As long as you prepare well in advance, the so-called death is just a long sleep.
Look, Norton was awakened by the death of his brother, but when his memory was about to be restored, he was taken over and replaced by Chu Xin. It is not known whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.
"Living spirit."
What Chu Xin was talking about was a face right in front of him.
In the center of the huge blue-black bronze wall, there protruded an intricately carved metal face, with a distorted expression as it bit a burning piece of wood.
It is not just a decoration, but the gatekeeper of the Bronze City. It is a product of alchemy, using the purest substance to contain the spirit. Only highly pure dragon blood can allow it to open the door.
Chu Xin used his sharp fingertips to cut his thumb, squeezing out a drop of dragon blood, which flowed into the mouth of the living spirit along with the water.
hum-
For a moment, the creature seemed to come alive. It revealed a vivid expression of surprise, and its hard bronze face seemed to be laughing.
But suddenly, it seemed like it was crying, and the inaudible sorrowful wails created layers of ripples, as if invisible tears mixed into the river water and splashed onto Chu Xin's cheeks.
Like Samson, it waited too long.
But time did not erase their ardent loyalty, and they finally waited for the return of their king.
rumble!
rumble!
Immediately afterwards, a dull roar was heard throughout the entire Bronze City. As the giant Living Wall split open, Baidi City regained its vitality.
It's boiling, it's cheering.
Welcome back the King of Bronze and Fire.
A huge passage appeared, and bronze tiles rose up and were paved into a road belonging to the king. The clanging and crisp sound of metal colliding was like the celebration of his subjects.
Countless metal gears cover the dozens of meters high walls on both sides. Their sharp teeth bite into each other. Peering through the gaps between teeth and wheels, one can see deeper and more sophisticated and complicated mechanical structures.
At the foot of the wall, there are rows of bronze sculptures, wearing the clothes of ancient civil and military officials, holding long swords or ivory tablets. The difference is that these sculptures are not human, but snake heads wearing hats sticking out from the collars of official robes and armor.
Buzz!
As Chu Xin and Samson went deeper into it, the gears turned rapidly, the gate behind them closed, the passage sank and disappeared, and a new passage was formed in an orderly manner in front of them, like walking in a city in a dream.
Boom!
Boom!
The snake head sculptures began to move, striking the swords or spears in their hands again and again, as if celebrating and telling a story. Although I knew it was a mechanical operation, I could vaguely hear the resounding welcome echoing in my ears.
This is an alchemical city with a changeable layout. It is extremely subtle and meticulous. It is a magnificent masterpiece created by Norton himself by digging the mountain and pouring bronze.
As the creator and master, Chu Xin can naturally control it.
This is the authority of the King of Bronze and Fire. It is an innate right to control flames and metal.
When Chu Xin left the corridor, the bronze sculptures all turned towards him, bowed and saluted, their eyes shining with metallic luster.
Buzz~Boom~
A bronze square appeared. As Chu Xin stepped in, the floor tiles in the center began to collapse rapidly to the surrounding areas, and the accumulated water was drained.
The sound of gears continued, and a bronze bridge leading downwards was constructed.
"You stay here."
Chu Xin patted Samson's head, signaling it to stay there and guard in case anyone followed it.
It's not that he is suspicious and worried. After all, there are too many behind-the-scenes masters in the dragon world, such as Odin, the Chen family, the Gattuso family, Lu Mingze, etc., who are hard to guard against. He is too weak at the moment, so it never hurts to be more careful.
He walked down the bridge and saw that the bronze walls around him were covered with broken human skeletons, too many to count.
These were Liu Xiu's army and the dragon slayer who attacked Baidi City that year. They killed their way to the bedrooms of Norton and Constantine.
Chu Xin did not stop, arrived at the bedroom and paced quietly.
This is a simple bronze dwelling. A Han lamp in the shape of a palace maid is placed on the table, scrolls that will break if touched are displayed in the cabinet, and two white robes, one large and one small, are hung on the wall.
He could imagine that a thousand years ago, Norton and Constantine sat opposite each other at the table, the elder brother writing at his desk, while the younger brother burned incense and brewed tea.
In spring, you can look out at the mountains and in winter, you can gather around the fire to keep warm.
"There's something missing," Chu Xin looked around several houses but didn't find his target. "I almost forgot. There must be something fishy here."
Buzz~clang~
Controlled by his mind and operated mechanically, he stepped into the door that had just been opened and walked down.
Soon, a figure floating in the water came into view.
He was wearing a diving suit provided by the executive department of Kassel College. Behind the mask was a dry cheek with all the blood sucked out. The nameplate on his chest had the words "Ye Sheng" written in Chinese.
It was he who sacrificed all his blood to open an escape route for his girlfriend Shude Aki, allowing her to take out Constantine's bone bottle.
Chu Xin was not interested in Ye Sheng's body.
He took off the rectangular box that Ye Sheng was carrying on his back and pressed the hidden groove on the top.
With a "click", a pleasant mechanical amplifier sound was heard from inside, and the box opened in a fan shape, revealing the objects inside in the shape of a Swiss Army knife.
There were seven swords, with intricate and profound patterns engraved on the blades and the edges glowing with dark gold. Each sword was perfectly contained within, and the mechanical components were as sophisticated as the movements of Swiss watches.
"Bronze Purgatory: Seven Deadly Sins." Chu Xin read out its name.
The Han Happo represents arrogance, the Tachi represents jealousy, the Zanmadao represents rage, the Katana represents laziness, the Kramer sword represents greed, the Atkan sword represents gluttony, and the Wakizashi represents lust.
The seven weapons are made of the same material, but each has its own specialization.
This is the pinnacle work forged by Norton using the power of metal and fire and the ultimate alchemy to kill the four kings. Its skills beyond comprehension are beyond the reach of all alchemists, who regard it as the master of alchemy and alchemical weapons.
And on the box are engraved ancient words - Wherever the blood of a king is shed, it must end with a sword!
