Chapter 130: A Century of Brilliance
The ancient wooden and stone house has well-maintained exterior walls, looking like new ones, not at all worn out. The century-old trees inside rise from the ground, breaking through the walls and covering the exposed eaves underneath. At first glance, you might think it is a palace attraction or a specialty restaurant.

The vermilion gate was closed tightly, and tourists coming to the capital city to pass by here all cast curious glances.

"A garden with seven entrances and seven exits?"

Zhang Baiqing asked Chen Motong, this should be called a palace. He remembered that the Prince Gong Mansion in Xicheng District of Beijing had seven entrances and seven exits.

"Well, after all, this is a big family with hundreds of years of history, so the house can't be small." Chen Motong nodded: "In the ancestral house, apart from the family elders, only the head of the family can live here. But in fact, this place is quite empty. My father ran away overseas a long time ago. Only when there are family meetings, there are more people here."

The vermilion door that was usually tightly closed creaked open, and the middle-aged butler who opened the door was not wearing ancient costume, but a shirt.

"Ms. Mo Tong."

"Uncle Li."

The middle-aged man opened the door and saw Mo Tong. He greeted her first, then walked down the stairs at the door with a smile on his face. He gestured to Zhang Baiqing to come in: "This distinguished guest is the representative of Kassel College, Mr. Zhang Baiqing, right? Please come in."

"Yes, I haven't asked for your name yet." Zhang Baiqing walked up the stairs.

"My name is Li Taobo, and I'm the housekeeper of the Chen family's ancestral home."

"From Shicheng?"

Such large families should cultivate people who serve the master for generations, and they are also the core assets of the family. Zhang Baiqing had only heard of them before, but had never seen them.

After all, if you want to train this kind of servant, you must first have sufficient historical background and strength.

"Yes, I grew up with Mo Tong's father and uncles. My father was the same."

Zhang Baiqing walked through the doors one after another while talking, and Chen Motong put down his arms that were folded around his chest. The three of them came to a living room, where an old man in a Zhongshan suit was already making tea and waiting.

"Mo Tong, you go back first." said the old man.

"Okay, then I'll go back." Chen Motong had a blank expression on his face.

"Ah."

The old man turned to Zhang Baiqing and said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down."

"I haven't asked for your name yet." Zhang Baiqing stepped forward.

The old man said: "My name is Chen Jiguang. I am Chen Motong's uncle and of the same generation as his father. You can just call me Old Chen."

Zhang Baiqing could feel the threat from Chen Jiguang. He was definitely S-class in strength. It seemed that the Chen family was really capable of becoming the leader of China's mixed-race families, as they had an S-class family right in their ancestral home.

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Lao Chen."

After he sat down, he didn't waste time talking to him: "Old Chen, I'm short on time and have a heavy workload, so I'll make it short."

His performance should be somewhat impolite, but Chen Jiguang did not say anything and nodded: "Okay, please go ahead, we also want to quickly remove the hidden danger of the King of the Earth and the Mountain."

"According to the Crown Prince, the King of the Earth and the Mountain is in the capital. I don't know if he has been here for a long time. I am not familiar with the capital either. I need records of unusual events from your families who have been staying in the capital. I also need you to send people to help search for him."

"We can compile a record of anomalies in the capital city over the past 50 years for you." Chen Jiguang paused when talking about manpower: "As for manpower, it is difficult for me to persuade people from other families to come here. Even if I can ask for manpower, it will probably be very few. And our Chen family itself does not have many manpower."

"Hmm? Why aren't there enough people?"

The Sheqi Eight Families were an exception, able to produce hundreds of core family members, and thousands of non-core members. The secret party families had always firmly controlled the secrets of the mixed-bloods in Europe, and tens of thousands of people could not escape.

As for the mixed-race family of the Chen family in China, they should have hundreds or thousands of people, right? If we add other mixed-race families, there should be no problem in having tens of thousands of people, but why can't they spare any manpower?

Chen Jiguang said patiently:

"The mixed-blood families in Europe frequently contact each other, so they can form secret parties. But the mixed-blood families in China are more complicated. Many local families stay in their local areas and keep silent. Although our Chen family is the leader and has contacted some mixed-blood families, it is hard to say that we can reach out to all parts of the country. So on the surface, we have people, but there are not many scattered across the country. Lu Mingfei, the S-level freshman of Kassel College this year, his surname Lu also represents a once powerful mixed-blood family, but can you see their extraordinaryness?"

Zhang Baiqing was a little surprised when he heard about the Lu family. Not to mention Lu Mingfei's parents, whom he had never seen, but Lu Mingfei's uncle looked like an ordinary person, not at all like someone who came from a powerful mixed-race family.

"So we don't have any," Chen Jiguang said. "With the density of population in China, we still have a lot of vacancies."

Zhang Baiqing always felt that something was wrong. He didn't know whether they were trying to do something big by keeping their manpower, or whether they were frightened by the annihilation of Eriphone's "Shiva Karma Dance" in 1626?
"OK then."

They don't have to send any manpower, which makes it easier for them to commit fraud.

After the chat, Chen Jiguang asked Li Taobo to see him off. Li Taobo drove a Bentley to take Zhang Baiqing back to the hotel.

After the two left, Chen Motong, who had already left, came back.

"What kind of person is Zhang Baiqing?" Chen Jiguang asked her.

"He is very strong." Chen Motong said casually: "Confident, too confident."

"Yeah." Chen Jiguang did not refute her. He asked Chen Motong to observe Zhang Baiqing in order to find out his background.

Although Chen Motong does not have the power of words, he has a very powerful ability - profiling.

This ability is a psychological skill that can infer a person's psychology through his behavior.

She can be said to be gifted in this regard, and can infer the other person's psychology with a high probability through some very subtle details.

Looking at Chen Jiguang who was lost in thought, Chen Motong asked him, "Why, are you thinking about which daughter of the Chen family is suitable for him?"

"I do have this idea." Chen Jiguang knew that it would be difficult to hide his thoughts from Chen Motong, who had a profile, unless he could restrain all his habitual movements and not express anything.

"This is difficult." Chen Motong curled his lips, "Not everyone can be led by a woman. People like him will not easily judge others."

"Everyone has weaknesses, as long as he still has human emotions." Chen Jiguang didn't care about this. "This requires us to do a more in-depth study of him. In this regard, it depends on you. Have you read his information?"

"I've seen it before. Being smart but weak is a taboo. However, he hid it very well when he was weak and did not make himself appear too different. By the time he really showed his strength, others could no longer contain him." From the information on Zhang Baiqing collected by the Chen family, it can be seen that he rose to power suddenly, but Chen Motong deduced from the current situation that he had changed a long time ago and had just been carefully hiding himself.

"Yeah." Chen Jiguang nodded and continued to think about what tactics to use when dealing with people like Zhang Baiqing.

He believes that everyone has weaknesses, and the term "seven emotions and six desires" is a summary of human nature since ancient times.

But what does Zhang Baiqing need?

Seeing that he was still thinking, Chen Motong turned and left.

What did Zhang Baiqing seem to need? She still couldn't figure it out, after all, she hadn't had enough contact with him, but she knew that people like him must be thinking about something big.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Baiqing conveyed Chen Jiguang's words to Angers truthfully.

"I see." Ange said, "I'm not surprised. This is how the mixed-blood families in China are. Those who dared to die have already died. The remaining guys are all a bunch of cowards."

Not knowing what Ange was talking about, Zhang Baiqing said, "So what should we do next?"

Ange said: "Let's look through the abnormal records they gave us and check what's going on. Although the prince is mysterious, his words should not be groundless. The King of the Earth and the Mountain is very likely to be in the capital."

"Ah."

In the evening, Chen Jiguang had someone deliver a thick stack of information and data, and also brought word that he had tried his best to gather a group of a hundred people to handle the mixed-blood incident in the capital. After all, many of the mixed-bloods on the hunter website were attracted to the capital by the prince's words. With hundreds or thousands of mixed-bloods pouring in at once, none of them were good people, it was hard to say whether serious accidents would not occur.

Zhang Baiqing asked some of his men to come back and look through some data about the capital city over the past fifty years with him out of boredom.

When he turned to the underground earthquake data, he glanced at it casually, didn't find any big earthquakes, and immediately turned the page.

Later, he gave the information to them to enter into Norma for analysis, and then he went to find Xia Mi and Chu Zihang.

"Xia Mi, are you guys making too much noise when you build the Nibelungen?" Zhang Baiqing said, "I flipped through the abnormal data sent by the Chen family and found a small amplitude land vibration. This year's vibration data has skyrocketed several times compared to previous years."

As soon as Zhang Baiqing saw the data, he immediately noticed something unusual.

When others see this abnormal data, they may simply think it is caused by the rise of infrastructure. After all, infrastructure projects have indeed been booming in recent years, and with the capital becoming more and more prosperous, it is normal for such small-scale land tremors to become more frequent.

But Zhang Baiqing also knew of another possible cause of this anomaly, that is, Xia Mi’s newly built Nibelungen channel. The stacking of elements into the Nibelungen was not silent, and it still had a little impact on the outside world.

The amplitude of this vibration is very small and has no effect on ordinary people. If there is any impact, it will only affect high-tech precision instruments with extremely high accuracy requirements. The prosperous capital city has no shortage of such precision instruments, so this land vibration was recorded.

"Really?" Xia Mi frowned. "Maybe there was indeed a little vibration, but it was very small, at most similar to the start of construction of a subway tunnel. There was almost no vibration transmitted to the ground."

“Has the epicenter been marked?”

Chu Zihang immediately realized the key point. It was okay for these small vibrations to be recorded, but as long as the epicenter was not marked, there would be no big problem.

"The earthquake source has not been marked, but the vibration direction has been marked. If we use the vibration direction to make a mathematical model to find the central axis, we may be able to find the Nibelungen Channel that you expanded."

Zhang Baiqing asked them: "Have you completely dismantled the passage?"

"It's already been dismantled." Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "How about we find a place and release a small vibration to attract their attention?"

Chu Zihang suggested: "I think it would be better to lead the guys to attack Kassel College directly, so that Kassel College will be in a state of panic, and then they will have no time to take care of this side."

"Actually, we can find a scapegoat dragon if there are other dragons in the capital." Zhang Baiqing looked at Xia Mi and said.

Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you put it that way, it's possible. I know there's a big tomb underground nearby. That hybrid wants to transform into a dragon. His idea is right, but he doesn't have enough dragon blood to transform. He's still in a half-dead state. I'll go in and give him some blood of the Dragon King, and he'll be able to continue on his journey to transform into a dragon."

"Oh?" "Huh?"

Chu Zihang and Zhang Baiqing spoke one after another.

Was there a master of dragon transformation before Herzog?
Xia Mi said, "Not long after I awakened, I wanted to find a subordinate to help me with something, so I went to take a look. It was an emperor of the Qing Dynasty who collected the blood of mixed races and purified it into pseudo dragon blood through alchemy. He survived by relying on the alchemical matrix and the powerful activity of dragon blood. But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, no one gave him dragon blood, and he was dying."

Zhang Baiqing asked curiously: "Aren't you looking for subordinates? Then why don't you help him complete the journey of becoming a dragon?"

"I helped him, but when he turned into a dragon, he was just an old pseudo-dragon, old and weak, and would most likely fail to transform into a cocoon. Besides, the Qing Dynasty has already fallen, so they can't help me. He is not very useful to me, so I might as well accumulate strength." Xia Mi explained, "The path to dragon transformation is not that simple. Humans have killed more than one or two dragons. If this path could be taken so easily, Angers wouldn't have become the world's number one hybrid."

"It should not be dead now, right?" Chu Zihang thought about it and felt that this method was not bad.

Didn't the prince say there was a dragon in the capital? Why can't we just find this dragon and take the blame? As for why it's not the king of the earth and the mountains, we don't know. We only found this dragon, so we're asking you if you are a dragon!
Not convinced? If you have the guts, come out and refute it yourself, Prince.

"He shouldn't be dead yet." Xia Mi said, "When I went to see him a few years ago, he was still breathing. He shouldn't die so soon."

"Then let's go find him, and continue his journey to become a dragon so we can kill him and be done with it."

Zhang Baiqing thought for a moment and said, "I will have someone find out who the prince is."

There is something wrong with this prince. If he is not an ally, he must be killed to make people feel at ease.

"Ah."

Xia Mi went to prepare the way for the Qing emperor to transform into a dragon, leaving Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang behind. Chu Zihang then whispered to Zhang Baiqing, "Am I too conspiracy-minded? I always feel like this is a trap?"

"Elaborate."

"The Summer Mourning incident at Cassel Manor a hundred years ago, the Arctic Dragon King more than 20 years ago and the Greenland Sea Dragon King ten years ago. A few years ago, my father took a box to stalk Odin. The remains of the White King were discovered. The Bronze and Fire Kings that had been hidden for a thousand years were dug out. The Earth and Mountain Kings were also discovered. If the prince is also a Dragon King, then almost all the Dragon Kings have appeared. And within the past hundred years, it is almost the end of the lives of the last batch of ancient gods..."

Chu Zihang said hesitantly: "If we also count the three industrial revolutions of our human race, the story in less than two hundred years is far more exciting than the previous thousand years."

Not counting the Industrial Revolution of mankind, almost all the Dragon Kings have emerged in the past hundred years...
