Dragon Raja -The Blazing Dawn- (龙族)

The Mourner's Eyes-

Episode 13

Think again. The sign, the green sign.

It was obscured by rain, but after the rain washed away, some words became visible, right?

Zero...

Entrance zero!

I went to see Chu Zihang this afternoon.

My intention was to ask about Blood Rage,

but I didn't expect to record this.

I've checked the map,

and the entrances to that overpass start at 001.

So the entrance Chu Zihang used doesn't exist.

Was the Maybach ever found?

It was found on the overpass in the suburbs.

The car looked like it had been attacked by hundreds of sharks.

The only fingerprints on the steering wheel belonged to Chu Zihang and his father.

It was there that Chu Zihang encountered Odin, the god from Western mythology,

and he mistakenly believed that he was on the overpass.

Could it have been an illusion?

Mythology says Odin is the mortal enemy of black dragons and represents justice.

He should have appeared with beautiful Valkyries, not Death Servitors.

Yes, but based on Chu Zihang's description,

those shadows must have been Death Servitors.

But there's another possibility.

You've already guessed it,

but you're hesitant to say it, right?

You... You mean...

Yeah.

Cut the nonsense!

Nibelungen, the Land of the Dead?

A child just happened to stumble in?

Th-That place is like the Holy Temple!

For millennia, alchemists have racked their brains trying to find it.

It's rare to see you so upset.

Tell me more about Nibelungen.

Nibelungen, the Land of the Dead...

Even if it exists, it's been sealed off for many years.

Have you found evidence that it exists?

Merely speculation.

Anjou, have you noticed that when we were researching dragons,

we've hardly found any remains of dragon gatherings,

especially those when the Black Emperor Nidhogg ruled the world in the name of God?

You mean, dragon civilization

might be hidden in another dimension?

Going there requires passing through a mysterious gateway.

Do any scriptures mention how to open the gate to the Land of the Dead?

Death.

Generations of alchemists have tried to enter alive, but none has succeeded.

Chu Zihang went there.

He merely stumbled in.

But it's is our only clue to date.

Yes, that's true.

Those who have been there might be able to find the old path.

Only those chosen by the dragons may enter Nibelungen.

If you actually found the entrance to Nibelungen,

what would you do?

I'd bind the dragons within their temples,

put a nuclear bomb in each, and detonate them simultaneously.

I'd sit on the copper pillar where the white empress was nailed,

and watch the destruction of their reptilian world.

Just thinking about it...

is beautiful.

Maybe Chu Zihang can find the entrance again.

To ensure things go smoothly, you need to do me a favor.

The school board's investigation team will arrive at the College tomorrow.

They're probably planning to fire me as principal.

Fire you?

Yes.

Someone probably entered the College in secret a few days ago to begin investigating.

What triggered this?

The Seven Flags Theme Park incident.

Chu Zihang used "Ruler's Flames" publicly,

instantly melting steel.

This is far beyond the scope of ordinary Yanling.

The school board suspects that his bloodline is a threat.

If they can prove that, they can fire me.

Additionally, intel we obtained from Xinguo

included his accidental entry into the Land of the Dead.

Although Webber deleted that section from the recovered data,

his cover-up only intensified the College's scrutiny of Chu Zihang.

Does the School Board know he entered Nibelungen?

Not yet, otherwise their reaction wouldn't be this muted.

But if they took Chu Zihang away,

they could also hypnotize him like I did,

and extract the truth from him.

What do you want me to do?

Just a small favor.

Hm... If I hung a mourning banner over the bed,

this scene would be complete.

Lu Mingfei,

can I ask you something?

Sure.

Go ahead.

What's it like... to like someone?

What exactly are you getting at, Brother?

You liked Chen Wenwen, right?

Hey! Actually, I also liked Shi Yuanlimi,

but I felt her age wasn't right for me. I'm...

Just spit it out already!

Just say it, and stop beating around the bush.

I wanted to ask, why might you like another person?

Good looks.

Could you be more specific?

Slim waist, long legs, long hair.

I mean, looks aside, are there other reasons?

Do you need a reason to like someone? Do you? Don't you?

Do you? Don't you?

Who the hell knows?

It's just that one day, you have a crush on someone,

and you're willing to stay with her and be bandits together.

That's when you've fallen for her.

Can you elaborate?

For example, could zodiac compatibility cause you to like someone?

Which ones?

Aquarius and Gemini.

Could it be...

The way she tilts her head,

her hesitant expression,

and the hidden meaning behind her words.

Chu Zihang is the Gemini, but who's the Aquarius girl?

Not great. They're both air signs.

Geminis are too awkward and struggle to express their feelings.

Astrology books say Aquarius girls are the type who are always around you,

but you never know if they actually like you.

Not great?

Huh? Wait, you're serious.

Then...

How do you know if you actually like a girl?

If someone's name is on your mind while you're asking me these questions,

then you like her.

I understand.

Brother, you...

Eh? Brother Lu, good afternoon.

Oh, hey, I should be heading off.

Xia Mi, what's your zodiac sign?

Aquarius.

Dinner's ready!

Thanks for making food for me every day.

It's because you saved everyone.

This isn't just mutual affection anymore.

But you also saved me.

You saved me first, and then I saved you.

This is pure, unwavering devotion!

Look, I specially made snow fungus soup today.

That must be a lot of work.

Not really. I had a lot of fun making it.

Brother, she's a great girl.

Seize the opportunity.

Is it delicious?

You're a bit late today.

Hey! Come on! I had classes this afternoon!

I'm not your housekeeper.

I made you soup because you were so heroic.

Brother, you really don't hold back!

How is it?

You should add some osmanthus sugar.

Wow! Master, you're really demanding!

What's osmanthus sugar?

Fresh osmanthus flowers, dried.

Take 100 grams and add two spoonfuls.

It sounds like a real hassle,

but it's the kind of thing someone like you would enjoy.

Fine, next time I'll remember to add osmanthus sugar.

I bought a lot of snow fungus, enough for lots of snow fungus soup.

I'm finished.

Would it kill you to say thanks?

Thanks.

Fine, whatever.

Is it okay for us to just go straight into the College like this?

What's there to fear?

We're the investigation team of the school board.

Anjou can't do anything to us.

Is Chu Zihang's blood sample ready?

Yes.

I'll have champagne ready for you tomorrow, Anjou.

Are you the school board's investigation team?

And what are you going to do about it?

Welcome, investigation team! Welcome, welcome!

Welcome, investigation team!

Hello, I'm the vice-principal of the College.

You can call me Night Watchman.

I'm Andrew, head of the investigation team.
