Chapter 36
1
When we brought up the topic of the Dragon Clan, it startled General Fluros. The word "Dragon Clan" easily short-circuited people's brains. The reason why I brought up the Dragon Clan was because the fact that the Pyramid of Today was ironclad evidence. In this country, the law hates these people, and it is logically impossible to dismiss the charges.
"If you are willing to intervene, come find me again." I pushed past the general and walked forward.
"You really know how to scare people." Suddenly, someone interjected. The voice was slightly familiar, and they were all people wearing golden masks.
"Humble ones!" General Fluros and the other four generals showed great respect towards the people wearing the golden masks.
"General, don't be frightened. What does a young man have to do with the Dragon Clan?"
The general looked me up and down and said, "His magical spear is of both Light and Dark elements. These two types of Magic are clearly incompatible, yet he can use them effortlessly. I'm afraid... he is indeed related to the Dragon Clan."
"As a national soldier, you're actually afraid?"
"Um..."
"I ask you, how do you prove the connection between the Dragon Clan and you?"
Zi Sirou whispered in my ear, "Right, how do you prove it? Are you going to show them the contract?"
"No need."
I stood in front of everyone. The onlookers and journalists kept a certain distance from me because the lighting in the terminal had been cut off due to the previous commotion. Other than sunlight, there was no other source of light, and they were all hiding in places where the sunlight couldn't reach.
"Well, how do you want us to prove it?"
"Take off your masks, you don't need to wear them in front of me."
For the humble ones, masks were necessary for using Magic. But in front of me, who could block their Magic, wearing masks was unnecessary.
The head of the humble ones took off his golden mask, and I recognized this person as the leader of the hawk faction humble ones in the small town.
"The Magic arrays in the humble ones' masks are well-researched, aren't they? But it seems like something is missing." The leader's expression clearly showed displeasure, of course, because I had hit upon their hidden agenda.
"I heard they discovered our secret and found a way to deal with you hawk faction. It seems to be true," said a snake faction humble one who entered the terminal and seemed to be here to watch the show.
I looked at their expressions and spoke seriously into Si Rou's camera, "For those of you watching on the other side, did you see their expressions? Now I will reveal the true identity of the humble ones in Emoetnia."
"Hey, what are you trying to do! This kind of behavior is threatening us in front of the entire The Human Realm!" The humble one's expression became even more impatient.
"You humble ones fight to the death between the two factions, never sitting down and talking it out. Even international flights can be disrupted. It's already reported in the newspapers. Yet Emoetnia still covers for you. Don't you think others would pity you if you don't explain clearly on The Human Realm?"
The humble ones remained silent. They finally realized that they had a debt internationally.
"The humble ones are just a group of people who opportunistically steal Magic from the deceased. The Magic arrays driven by the masks they wear are a simplified version of Dragon Clan Magic, which has been castrated to be suitable for humans. For us who possess Dragon Clan bloodlines, is this a secret? When the snake and hawk factions' Magic arrays are combined, it is the closest to a complete Dragon Clan Magic array. Its purpose is to obtain the Magic from the deceased giants who have become mummies. The humble ones hardly need to use Magic themselves, and anyone can use the Magic obtained from the mummies. The humble ones are not the ones chosen by the deceased giants; on the contrary, the humble ones choose them. The first ones to disturb the rest of your respected giants in the Pyramid were these humble ones, just to put on different faction's golden masks for the mummies, just like looting a resource-rich territory during wartime!"
All the people in the terminal were startled by my words, especially the people of Emotia. Their faces were filled with not only anger but also confusion, as they had always regarded the humble ones as messengers of greatness.
"Sir, are you saying anyone can be a humble one?" a tourist spoke up in the crowd.
"That's right, anyone can be, but the Electric Magic Masters will extend the range of reception," I replied. If given enough time, I could modify the Magic Formation and remove the limitation of only Electric Magic Masters.
"So these humble ones are like this. They always act arrogantly, causing disturbances in the middle of the night, and even though they destroy planes from other countries, their government doesn't take any action. Why does the government protect these paper tigers?"
Although the humble ones were a revered group, their day-to-day behavior was extremely annoying, like the first day I went to a small town, causing disturbances in the middle of the night on lampposts was also very annoying.
"Kid, originally, our Snake Faction didn't want to pursue the crime of your murder today. If you were only targeting the Hawk Faction, we wouldn't have any objections. But now, you are targeting all the humble ones!"
The leader of the Snake Faction had obviously realized that what I had done was also detrimental to them, so they no longer gathered around. He used his Masked Magic, but what he didn't expect was that the Magic was under my control.
"Hehe, are you sure you want to use Magic again? Intercepting your Magic is not a problem at all."
I continued to explain, "The reason for killing them is simple. They were attempting to destroy another plane in flight, and they had already killed a retired soldier. From what I see, it's fair for two lives to be exchanged for one."
"Fair?" The humble ones tried to use Magic again, but the Magic was still in my hands. Two wind blades were thrown out, shattering the glass windows of the terminal.
I want to downplay the sins we committed to enter the Pyramid using the improper methods of the humble ones. In simple terms, it's professional hatred.
"Hey, only exchanging one life for another can be considered fair!" The leader of the Hawk Faction couldn't help but interject.
"Alright then, for the plane destruction incident a few days ago, how many people are you prepared to compensate? Will the military and government continue to protect you?" The relationship between the government and the humble ones is delicate. Even though the truth has been revealed in the newspapers, they have done nothing.
"Qin Yang, you still haven't answered where your proof is, the proof that you are related to the Dragon Clan. You are just diverting the topic."
"General, I am here to tell the world that I don't need to enter the Pyramid to discover your secrets. I only need the Magic diagram for the mask to see everything clearly. If you want to consider this as a secret, then it's also a secret of the Dragon Clan."
"The Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan! Do you really think you are a part of the Dragon Clan? Boy! The humble ones are not such despicable people, I guarantee it." The female military officer with the same rank as the General on her shoulder had been patient for too long and was about to explode.
"General, is the humble one your loved one?"
"He is my husband."
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but he deceived you. They consider themselves to be strong and noble, but they are all liars. If they had to fend for themselves, they might not be a match for you generals."
I pointed at those humble ones. Yesterday, the humble ones took off their masks and attacked me with their own Magic. Their fighting power was truly weak.
"What is your intention in disparaging us humble ones?" The leaders of both factions of the humble ones stood together, with the appearance of being united against a common enemy.
"It signifies my disdain for you. If you were in a place like The Demon Realm, which reveres strength, I wouldn't just disdain you, I would bury you alive."
"Young man, you haven't answered my question!" said the female general persistently.
"Please be patient. I will answer you when I prove that everything is just a misunderstanding," I replied.
"Misunderstanding? We don't think so, especially with the Marshal's command."
I took out the memory chip from Zi Sirou's camera and inserted it into my phone, projecting the video that Si Rou had taken in front of everyone's eyes.
The red eyes of Anubis, the sharp wolf fangs that could shatter bones with a single bite, and the scene of tearing off an arm, filled with violence and bloodshed, shocked everyone except the soldiers who were accustomed to life and death on the battlefield. In just five seconds, it felt like a glimpse of hell's iceberg had been shown before their eyes.
"This was recorded by someone in the town before they died. Emohetnia's people, you are familiar with the killer in the video, aren't you?" The video's "last words" extracted from the arm by Zi Sirou couldn't be revealed, but it strongly proved that we had nothing to do with the massacre. The reason they suspected us was probably because we left traces that were discovered before we left, such as tire tracks and footprints. We thought they would be covered up by the sandstorm, but they were still found by them.
"Don't trust him. Capture him and investigate slowly. Although what he said has evidence, it is not enough to absolve him of the crime of destroying the pyramid,"
"So be it."
His Eyes closed, when he opened them again, his pupils became red,and there were dragon roar evearywhere.
"What is this?"Furus was shocked as if his eyes were about to pop out.
"He is a dragon, how is this possible?"
The dragon roar lasted for three seconds, and when they were shocked, a giangtic tongs clutched our vehicle and brought us to mid-air, but it seemed quite friendly.
"Hey, those below us listen, if you do want to interfere the dragons, come find me, but I suggest you better investigate the masscare first."
With the tongs kept rising up, a blue warship revealed itself.
"Wow, it is the Emperor's New War machine!"Zi Sirou kept shouting when taking picture from below.
"Ah?I thought he rose the idea just few days ago."
"What a incredible effciency."Guffy also felt amazing.
