Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 127 No.70 The Sword in the Lake in Four Acts

"It's boring." Xia Mi made a face at Lu Mingfei, then turned to look at Holmes with shining eyes, "Is this Mr. Charlotte Holmes? He is so handsomely dressed."

"Hello, Miss Shami." Holmes nodded.

"Isn't he going into the water?" Chu Zihang asked, looking at Holmes.

"Let's go, of course." Lu Mingfei ate one bite after another of ice cream.

"Then you didn't ask me to rent an extra apartment?"

"Uh..." Lu Mingfei froze while biting the spoon.

"It's okay, just ask the boss to rent one again!" Xia Mi, a young genius, snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"Okay." Chu Zihang sighed, and he could only say that Lu Mingfei was like this.

"Let's rent a car and check in such a heavy diving suit, otherwise we will definitely fall down from exhaustion..." Xia Mi lost motivation when he thought of this.

"No problem." Chu Zihang said, "It's all on me."

"Oh, it's great to have a senior brother from a rich family." Lu Mingfei shrugged contentedly.

……

……

"Is this really this lake?" Xia Mi looked at the wide water in front of him.

Lake Ney is the largest lake in the United Kingdom. It is located in the center of Northern Ireland, covering an area of ​​380 square kilometers, and its deepest point reaches 25 meters. In the entire Western Europe, Lake Ney is also ranked third in area, second only to Lake Geneva. and Lake Constance.

"Of course, do you understand my divine prophecy, Lu Mingfei?" Lu Mingfei put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky, laughing.

"But where can we find such a big lake..." Xia Mi murmured to himself, "It's nearly four hundred square kilometers. We have to swim for a month without eating or drinking, right?"

"This is why I invited Holmes." Lu Mingfei stepped aside and made introduction gestures with both hands. Holmes happened to be standing behind him.

"Senior Brother Ting Lu, you said so... Holmes's speaking ability is very good?"

"Of course! In terms of investigation, he is unparalleled!"

"What is it?" Xia Mi asked with burning eyes.

"If you understand, you will understand. If you don't understand, you won't understand even if you don't understand. In a word, everyone who understands will understand." Lu Mingfei once again acted like an old god was here.

"The Riddler, get out of Gotham!" Xia Mi gritted his teeth in anger.

"Okay, you two, stop making trouble. Mr. Holmes, tell us a dive location closer to the target point first." Seeing that the two kindergarten children were about to quarrel again, Chu Zihang quickly interrupted them.

"Here." Holmes stretched out his finger and pointed at a location on the edge of Lake Ney on the map.

Chu Zihang is still the most powerful, and he must step forward to promote the key plot, otherwise the two of them will continue to quarrel for who knows how long.

"Why is Sherlock Holmes always as talkative as Senior Brother Lu?" Xia Mi asked as if casually, "I dislike the Riddler the least."

"Because there are some things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed."

"You're the Riddler again."

"There really is no Riddler. Literally speaking, there is an old Chinese saying that the sky is watching what people do." He pointed at the blue sky.

"Senior brother, what do you mean..." Xia Mi followed the direction of his finger and looked at the sky.

"Shh." Lu Mingfei blinked.

"Oh, I almost understand." Xia Mi stopped asking.

"We're here." Chu Zihang stopped the car.

"I read on the Internet that the deepest point is only 25 meters. The 100-meter diving suit rented by Chu Zihang is a bit redundant. It will add a lot of weight to us." Nono said slowly.

"Don't blame senior brother. If you want to blame, you can only blame senior brother Lu for being the Riddler." Xia Mi pouted.

"Okay, okay, don't blame your senior brother, blame me, blame me." Lu Mingfei smiled narrowly, jumped out of the car and carried the diving suit, "As compensation, let me carry the diving suit."

While changing into his diving suit, Xia Mi approached Holmes with persistence and chatted with him, "Mr. Holmes, can you tell me about your speaking spirit?"

"Miss Xia Mi, everyone has their own secrets." Holmes replied as he took off his extremely stylish windbreaker, "It is impolite to pry into other people's secrets."

"It's a coincidence. Your breath is very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Xia Mi still smiled, but was a little shuddering.

"You may have remembered it wrong." Holmes said in a calm and condescending manner, "Try my thoughts and keep it in mind. I didn't ask you what you want to do by staying with the young man named Chu Zihang."

"How can this be called testing?" Xia Mi put away his smile, "It's just chatting, chatting."

"That's good." Holmes also glanced at Xia Mi and asked suddenly, "If I guess correctly, you are worried about something, right?"

"Come on, what can I worry about?" Xia Mi said nonchalantly, "I am such an optimistic person, nothing can bother me."

"For example...fate?" Holmes said with a smile on his face.

"That's none of your business."

"I just want to say..." Holmes looked at Lu Mingfei, who was drooling over Nono's swimsuit, "No matter what the problem is, he can solve it. Just trust him. There is no need to make things difficult." It’s irreversible, otherwise it will be too late to regret.”

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Xia Mi said coldly.

"Of course, it's best if you're not worried." Holmes smiled.

……

……

"It's equipped with a built-in intercom. Just report any situation in time." After Chu Zihang finished explaining, he jumped into the water first.

Then came Lu Mingfei, Nono, Xia Mi, and finally Holmes. They were like dumplings.

"There is a problem." Nono said on the walkie-talkie halfway through the dive. "Even if King Arthur hid his weapons in the open, the entrance has been covered with floating soil several meters deep over thousands of years. We don't have tools, so what?" Where to dig?”

"It does seem to be a trouble." Lu Mingfei floated in the water and thought for a while, "Junior sister, can your speech spirit be used in the water?"

"I haven't tried it." Xia Mi replied, "But it should be possible."

"If it can be used, the high-speed compressed air will cause the lake water to vibrate violently, and the effect when launched will be similar to the vitality bomb." Lu Mingfei chuckled, "So when the time comes, I will ask Junior Sister to break up the mud and sand at the bottom of the water."

"After working for a long time, it turns out that I am a tool." Xia Mi rolled her eyes, but no one could see her eyes. "What if I use my speech spirit too much and collapse from exhaustion?"

"I believe that senior brother will carry you." Lu Mingfei said. "Don't believe me too much. I may not be able to carry the weight of this diving suit alone." Chu Zihang said calmly, "Perhaps everyone will still need to carry Xia Mi together."

"Hey! Senior brother, do you agree that I am a tool?" Xia Mi snorted dissatisfied.

"This way." Although Holmes was the last to dive, he swam very fast and swam at the front of the team to guide the direction.

"..." Nono remained silent, frowning, and occasionally reaching out to touch the floating sand on the bottom.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Mingfei asked concernedly when he saw something was wrong with her.

"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Nuonuo whispered, "A few bad memories about diving popped into my head."

"Don't be afraid, senior sister, I'm by your side." Lu Mingfei held Nono's hand, and he could feel the girl's body trembling slightly through the thick layer of diving suit.

"It's almost here." Holmes glanced around, "Everyone spread out and look for it, it won't exceed a radius of 20 meters."

Hearing this, Chu Zihang stepped lightly on the bottom of the water. It was all stone surface, with no water plants, and the stones were smoothed by the water flow. He barely maintained his balance and reached out to grope in the mud floating on the bottom.

"Does the legend of the Fairy of the Lake really exist?" Xia Mi asked nervously, "If she finds out that we are robbing King Arthur's tomb, will she chop us all to death with a sword?"

"Okay, it doesn't exist." Lu Mingfei comforted, "King Arthur just asked his personal knight to throw the sword into the lake. The fairy in the lake and so on are all embellishments created by later generations."

"Then I'll be relieved." Xia Mi also imitated Chu Zihang and groped at the bottom of the lake.

"By the way, Holmes, can't your speech spirit find the specific location?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Sorry, it really can't be."

"You can't do this. Just change your name and don't call it anything..."

"You have to know that what we are looking for is an artifact. It's amazing that I can find the approximate location." Holmes sighed. The master always lacks understanding of the identity of the artifact.

"Okay, it would be nice if Senior Ye Sheng was here." Lu Mingfei said regretfully, "He released his "Word Spirit Snake" and he can find it in no time. "

"Yes, yes, Senior Ye Sheng is very powerful." Xia Mi also agreed seriously, even though she had never met Ye Sheng at all, and she had only just learned about his Yanling.

"I seem to have made some discoveries." Chu Zihang said.

"What?" Several people swam to him quickly, and Chu Zihang dug several large and small pits at the bottom of the lake.

"I just dug some soil and analyzed the soil quality. I found that the soil quality in this small area is different from other parts of the lake bottom. It has a history of at least 1000 years. However, the soil quality in other places is very new due to water flow and erosion and biological effects. 100 years."

"Senior brother, you also know geology." Lu Mingfei's eyes shone with admiration, "Truly an almighty man, he knows everything."

"Wait a minute, why are there abnormal places that are older?" Xia Mi asked doubtfully.

"Because of the special nature of the artifact," Holmes explained, "the small area where it is located will not be affected by the outside world."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lu Mingfei commanded, "Junior sister! Let's blast!"

"It's booming, it's booming, oh, when will the capitalists put on the street lights? It's so abominable." Xia Mi, a tool worker, was miserable and was squeezed out of work by an unscrupulous boss, ""The Spirit of Words·The Eyes of the Wind King"! "

Balls of highly compressed air appeared around her, causing all the surrounding water to flow violently, and the entire bottom of the water was shaking.

"Smash it!" Xia Mi waved his hand, and all the air cannons were fired. The dust raised from the bottom of the water completely blocked his sight.

"Not bad, not bad, come on, Xiao Xiazi!" Eunuch Lu cheered her loudly on the intercom channel, which could only give her mental encouragement.

A few minutes later, a big hole was blown under the water, and Xia Mi fell backwards almost exhausted.

Chu Zihang hugged her quickly, "Are you okay?"

"I... seem to be... dying." Xia Mi covered his heart with a look of despair, "After I die, senior brother, please help me do... two things, and treat me as if you have returned what I have left. Two requests..."

"First, beat Brother Lu and hang him on a street lamp... Second, delete the photo of me cosplaying Haruhi Suzumiya... Be sure to delete it completely... Don't leave any backup..."

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and lost her breath completely.

"Finish the flowers!" Lu Mingfei took out a bottle of champagne from nowhere, "Let me give a final summary of Ms. Xiami's life. Ms. Xiami was a person who loved flowers when she was alive..."

"You two, stop acting." Nono said, "Not winning an Oscar for Best Actor and Actor is really an inconvenience. You might as well go down and see what's in the pit first."

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Xia Mi instantly resurrected with full health, and paddled to the bottom of the water with her hands and feet, and then... her high-decibel scream came from the intercom channel.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang was the first to become anxious and swam to her side quickly.

"There...is...a face underneath!"

At the bottom of the pit is a wall made of stone, glowing with a bluish-black shimmer like oil.

The pattern on the wall clearly appeared, it was a raised human face with a sword inserted into the head.

This is a weird picture. The face is twisted in pain, but the sword on its head cannot be pulled out for the rest of its life.

"That's a living being. You'll understand it after taking a class on alchemical biology." Chu Zihang recognized that face as soon as he saw it, "There is a sword stuck on the top of the head, which means that this is where King Arthur's sword is buried. "

"But it stands to reason that living beings should be sealed into recycled metal. This is the first time I've seen it sealed into stone."

"Maybe this is what makes King Arthur different." Nono shrugged. This action looked particularly funny against the backdrop of the bulky diving suit, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help laughing.

Nuonuo gouged him out, and Lu Mingfei quickly sat upright, "I remember that it requires high-purity dragon blood to open the spirit. Everyone here is at least "A" grade, so I think it should be fine. "

"I actually listened to some lessons." Nuonuo said with satisfaction, "Then let me do it."

"No, senior sister, I'll do it." Lu Mingfei stopped her.

"No, I'm coming!" Nuonuo became angry.

"Why are you so crazy about Jack's meat?" Xia Mi looked at these two people yelling, "you jump, i jump, right?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't defeat Nono in the end, so Nono cut open the diving suit on one hand with a knife, exposed the finger, drained some blood, and stuffed it into the living creature's mouth.

The living spirit smacked its mouth twice, and then... stopped moving.

"What's going on?" Nono was stunned, "Is my bloodline not pure enough?"

"Maybe." Chu Zihang said.

"At times like this, you need me: Lou Cassel's only "S" class Mingfei appears! "Lu Mingfei glanced at his senior sister proudly, took out the knife from her hand, bled it, and stuffed it into the living creature's mouth.

He hit his mouth twice, and then... still didn't move.

"Fuck! This is unscientific!" Lu Mingfei was shocked.
