The Mourner's Eyes-
Episode 16
There's something I want to tell you about Blood Rage,
because you haven't been told the whole story.
There is a technique that can enhance the purity of dragon blood in hybrids.
Your bloodline can be enhanced without being corrupted by dragon blood.
But it requires a rare serum
extracted from a high-level ancient dragon.
Right now, we only have enough for one person.
Do you know about the Nibelungen Plan?
It's a plan supported by the school board
to select the most outstanding student
and bestow this gift upon them.
It has another objective, and that is to identify the vermin infiltrating our ranks,
like... you.
And perhaps also Lu Mingfei.
The Gattuso family has been pushing that plan,
so their intended beneficiary must be Caesar.
That's right. But the technique has different implications for you and Caesar.
It might be your only way to survive.
What should I do?
Go to Shangdu and compete with Caesar.
He once slew a Dragon Emperor, and you deserve the same achievement.
Thanks.
I just want you to have a fair chance.
Get ready. Your team will leave immediately.
The flight leaves in three hours.
If Finger really doesn't want to go, I don't think we should force him.
He... was once an A-rank student at the College.
He got injured during a mission,
and ended up like this.
Ten years ago, he was to me what you are to me now.
He also needs a chance to rediscover himself.
A folding knife?
I'm lending it to you.
It has the ability to slay the First Generation.
It was forged from the fragments of an alchemical weapon
passed down in my friend's family after it broke.
Remember to return it afterwards.
Yes,
General.
Our team will leave for Xinguo in two hours.
The equipment division is preparing weapons for us.
Wow.
What's this?
A modified blowtorch.
We call it the Dragon's Breath.
It's filled with an ordinary flammable chemical right now,
but it can also be filled with nitroglycerin or mercury.
Its flame can severely damage lower-tier dragons.
If we encounter a First Generation, it can also serve as a flashlight.
A lighter...
This is basically a bomb, right?
Anyone would've guessed that a lighter could be turned into a bomb.
We added a music function and built-in speaker.
Wow! Interesting.
Hey, can I take this?
Sure. Do you want to take that shoulder-mounted sniper cannon, too?
Um... No, thanks.
I helped Chu Zihang once,
but that doesn't mean I'm his friend.
Aren't you worried about accepting gifts from the enemy?
Or would you consider joining the student union to become my friend?
Sure, I'll join as a spy. Does the student union accept spies?
Sometimes we do.
Caesar,
there's a special item for you.
The school board said to deliver it to you personally.
Looks interesting. Want to come and see?
Sure.
Wow.
A crossbow?
Philosopher's Stone?
Something like that.
It's extracted from the bones of a Dragon Emperor,
a crystallized form of the fire element.
Sounds like the spark that could destroy the world.
This is the Gattuso family's greatest support for your mission.
They hope that the Emperor of Earth and Mountains will die by your hand.
Are you... from the family?
I'm the deputy leader of equipment.
If you really face the Dragon Emperor,
I suggest that you don't hesitate,
because he won't give you much time.
Hi, Sister!
Can you let us talk in private?
Remember to meet at the airport in two hours.
We will leave for Xinguo immediately.
Sure! Don't worry, Nono and I will be there on time.
As you requested, here are photocopies
of all parchment scrolls kept by the Lionheart Society.
Everything about Blood Rage is in there.
I don't understand it,
but you probably can.
You keep your promises.
Chu Zihang let you handle these because he trusted you.
By doing this, are you betraying him?
That's none of your business.
We made a deal.
You support Chu Zihang at the hearing,
and I give you these photocopies.
I have a paper to revise, so I'm leaving.
Susie,
when Chu Zihang finds out he's not the only one in the world who can use Blood Rage,
won't he hate you?
He's just a stubborn brat who can't manage his own life.
A stubborn brat?
A stubborn brat.
He's just one of those stubborn brats
who always needs help.
Haven't you done too much for him?
Me liking him and him liking me are two separate things.
If I were you, I'd fight for it.
Good night.
Welcome aboard this flight to Xinguo.
The seats are so cramped.
Dinner and breakfast will be served on the journey.
This is a direct flight, but it'll take about 14 hours.
We'll make an announcement when meals are served.
Get some sleep, because we'll start working as soon as we land.
There's a call button above your seat.
You sound like my mom.
If you need help from a flight attendant, please press it.
I'm sleeping.
Good night.
I need the toilet.
These... These people are all...
Sir, can I help find your seat?
Hey, don't you know what kind of people are on this flight?
I know.
People without bloodlines aren't allowed on this flight!
The passengers... are all hybrids...
Then this plane...
is basically... a flying dragon's nest!
That makes us family!
Why so stingy?
Only two drinks for economy?
Bring me a case!
Anyone know what's going on? I was delivering food at the Shangdu International Financial Center when three men in suits wearing bronze masks suddenly rushed out of the elevator! They were holding alchemical weapons modified from multi-purpose knives. Now I'm hiding in the freezer behind the Starbecks, shivering... Waiting online for solutions!

Hey!
I saw this when I got off the plane.
Someone took this video over Antarctica.
These dragons look like loyal guards following the business jet below.
It could be AI-generated. Info like this shouldn't be public.
Then...
Lu Mingfei!
Never thought you'd come to Xinguo, too!
Tang Sen? Hello, hello!
So happy to see you!
These two are my friends: Finger and Chu Zihang.
Hi!
Hi! Are you here to slay dragons, too?
Uh, what do you mean by... "too"?
That's right. This is a special charter flight.
We pre-screened all the passengers, and every single one is a hybrid.
We're all here to slay dragons.
Huh?
This is a bit much, isn't it?
Come on, bro! Who do you think you are?
What makes you think you can slay dragons in Xinguo?
I'm not that delusional.
I just thought that it'd be a shame to miss such a major event.
Have a chat with friends, and a vacation in Xinguo at the same time.
Kills two birds with one stone, right?
Look, some people even brought their families.
Come to slay a dragon, and if that fails, treat it as a vacation?
We're here on vacation. If we stumble upon a dragon, we'll slay it.
Nice plan.
Why does it feel like...
there's a familiar scent here?
Cut the crap!
Five minutes ago, a 200,000-ton oil tanker sank in the Gulf of Mexico after running aground.
Autonomous driving again? How lazy.
New energy companies will see a massive upside in the next three months!
Looks like you're having a good time in Shangdu!
Hands off!
One touch won't kill you.
Did you see the stuff I sent?
That bounty page on the Hunter market?
I saw it. Whoever posted it is really good.
They got every hybrid in the world involved.
In just one week, three hybrid charter flights entered Xinguo from Anguo.
That means over 1,000 hybrids are already in Xinguo territory.
But with some of their bloodlines,
some will die of cardiac arrest the moment they enter the Dragon Emperor's domain!
Over 3,000 have come from Xinguo,
and even more from the West.
Among them are three people named Finger Von Frings, Chu Zihang, and...
I saw our little baby.
Now that he's here, the boss should have new orders for us, right?
I got an email from the boss three hours ago.
The order is that Lu Mingfei must personally slay the Dragon Emperor!
Here we go again!
Is it really worth spending so much time on that useless piece of trash?
