    Episode 16
[01:35] Anjou
    There's something I want to
    tell you about Blood Rage,
[01:39] Anjou
    because you haven't
    been told the whole story.
[01:42] Anjou
    There is a technique that can enhance
    the purity of dragon blood in hybrids.
[01:46] Anjou
    Your bloodline can be enhanced without
    being corrupted by dragon blood.
[01:50] Anjou
    But it requires a rare serum
[01:52] Anjou
    extracted from
    a high-level ancient dragon.
[01:54] Anjou
    Right now, we only have
    enough for one person.
[01:56] Anjou
    Do you know about the Nibelungen Plan?
[02:00] Anjou
    It's a plan supported by the school board
[02:03] Anjou
    to select the most outstanding student
[02:06] Anjou
    and bestow this gift upon them.
[02:07] Anjou
    It has another objective, and that is to
    identify the vermin infiltrating our ranks,
[02:12] Anjou
    like... you.
[02:17] Anjou
    And perhaps also Lu Mingfei.
[02:19] Chu Zihang
    The Gattuso family has been pushing that plan,
[02:22] Chu Zihang
    so their intended beneficiary
    must be Caesar.
[02:25] Anjou
    That's right. But the technique has
    different implications for you and Caesar.
[02:29] Anjou
    It might be your only way to survive.
[02:31] Chu Zihang
    What should I do?
[02:32] Anjou
    Go to Shangdu and compete with Caesar.
[02:36] Anjou
    He once slew a Dragon Emperor,
    and you deserve the same achievement.
[02:42] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[02:43] Anjou
    I just want you to have a fair chance.
[02:46] Anjou
    Get ready. Your team will leave immediately.
[02:48] Anjou
    The flight leaves in three hours.
[02:52] Chu Zihang
    If Finger really doesn't want to go,
    I don't think we should force him.
[02:57] Anjou
    He... was once an A-rank
    student at the College.
[03:01] Anjou
    He got injured during a mission,
[03:03] Anjou
    and ended up like this.
[03:06] Anjou
    Ten years ago, he was to
    me what you are to me now.
[03:10] Anjou
    He also needs a chance to rediscover himself.
[03:17] Chu Zihang
    A folding knife?
[03:18] Anjou
    I'm lending it to you.
[03:19] Chu Zihang
    It has the ability to slay
    the First Generation.
[03:21] Chu Zihang
    It was forged from the fragments
    of an alchemical weapon
[03:24] Chu Zihang
    passed down in my friend's
    family after it broke.
[03:26] Chu Zihang
    Remember to return it afterwards.
[03:28] Chu Zihang
    Yes,
[03:30] Chu Zihang
    General.
[03:34] Caesar
    Our team will leave for Xinguo in two hours.
[03:37] Caesar
    The equipment division is
    preparing weapons for us.
[03:40] Xia Mi
    Wow.
[03:41] Caesar
    What's this?
[03:42] Researcher
    A modified blowtorch.
[03:45] Researcher
    We call it the Dragon's Breath.
[03:47] Researcher
    It's filled with an ordinary
     flammable chemical right now,
[03:50] Researcher
    but it can also be filled with
    nitroglycerin or mercury.
[03:52] Researcher
    Its flame can severely
    damage lower-tier dragons.
[03:55] Researcher
    If we encounter a First Generation,
    it can also serve as a flashlight.
[03:58] Xia Mi
    A lighter...
[04:01] Xia Mi
    This is basically a bomb, right?
[04:02] Researcher
    Anyone would've guessed that a
    lighter could be turned into a bomb.
[04:05] Researcher
    We added a music function
    and built-in speaker.
[04:08] Xia Mi
    Wow! Interesting.
[04:11] Xia Mi
    Hey, can I take this?
[04:13] Caesar
    Sure. Do you want to take that
    shoulder-mounted sniper cannon, too?
[04:17] Xia Mi
    Um... No, thanks.
[04:18] Caesar
    I helped Chu Zihang once,
[04:19] Caesar
    but that doesn't mean I'm his friend.
[04:22] Caesar
    Aren't you worried about
    accepting gifts from the enemy?
[04:24] Caesar
    Or would you consider joining the
    student union to become my friend?
[04:29] Xia Mi
    Sure, I'll join as a spy.
    Does the student union accept spies?
[04:34] Caesar
    Sometimes we do.
[04:35] Caesar
    Caesar,
[04:35] Caesar
    there's a special item for you.
[04:37] Caesar
    The school board said to
    deliver it to you personally.
[04:40] Caesar
    Looks interesting. Want to come and see?
[04:43] Xia Mi
    Sure.
[04:48] Xia Mi
    Wow.
[04:50] Caesar
    A crossbow?
[04:56] Caesar
    Philosopher's Stone?
[04:58] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    Something like that.
[05:00] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    It's extracted from the
    bones of a Dragon Emperor,
[05:02] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    a crystallized form of the fire element.
[05:04] Caesar
    Sounds like the spark that
    could destroy the world.
[05:06] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    This is the Gattuso family's
    greatest support for your mission.
[05:09] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    They hope that the Emperor of Earth
    and Mountains will die by your hand.
[05:13] Caesar
    Are you... from the family?
[05:16] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    I'm the deputy leader of equipment.
[05:18] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    If you really face the Dragon Emperor,
[05:20] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    I suggest that you don't hesitate,
[05:21] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    because he won't give you much time.
[05:26] Xia Mi
    Hi, Sister!
[05:27] Caesar
    Can you let us talk in private?
[05:29] Caesar
    Remember to meet at the airport in two hours.
[05:31] Caesar
    We will leave for Xinguo immediately.
[05:32] Xia Mi
    Sure! Don't worry, Nono and
    I will be there on time.
[05:38] Susie
    As you requested, here are photocopies
[05:40] Susie
    of all parchment scrolls kept
    by the Lionheart Society.
[05:42] Susie
    Everything about Blood Rage is in there.
[05:44] Susie
    I don't understand it,
[05:45] Susie
    but you probably can.
[05:51] Caesar
    You keep your promises.
[05:53] Caesar
    Chu Zihang let you handle these
     because he trusted you.
[05:57] Caesar
    By doing this, are you betraying him?
[06:00] Susie
    That's none of your business.
[06:01] Susie
    We made a deal.
[06:03] Susie
    You support Chu Zihang at the hearing,
[06:05] Susie
    and I give you these photocopies.
[06:08] Susie
    I have a paper to revise, so I'm leaving.
[06:11] Caesar
    Susie,
[06:13] Caesar
    when Chu Zihang finds out he's not the
    only one in the world who can use Blood Rage,
[06:17] Caesar
    won't he hate you?
[06:19] Susie
    He's just a stubborn brat who
    can't manage his own life.
[06:22] Caesar
    A stubborn brat?
[06:24] Susie
    A stubborn brat.
[06:26] Susie
    He's just one of those stubborn brats
[06:29] Susie
    who always needs help.
[06:31] Caesar
    Haven't you done too much for him?
[06:35] Susie
    Me liking him and him liking
    me are two separate things.
[06:41] Caesar
    If I were you, I'd fight for it.
[06:43] Caesar
    Good night.
[06:47] Announcement
    Welcome aboard this flight to Xinguo.
[06:48] Finger
    The seats are so cramped.
[06:50] Announcement
    Dinner and breakfast will
    be served on the journey.
[06:50] Chu Zihang
    This is a direct flight,
    but it'll take about 14 hours.
[06:53] Announcement
    We'll make an announcement
    when meals are served.
[06:53] Chu Zihang
    Get some sleep, because we'll
    start working as soon as we land.
[06:55] Announcement
    There's a call button above your seat.
[06:56] Finger
    You sound like my mom.
[06:57] Announcement
    If you need help from a flight
    attendant, please press it.
[06:58] Chu Zihang
    I'm sleeping.
[06:59] Lu Mingfei
    Good night.
[07:02] Finger
    I need the toilet.
[07:17] Finger
    These... These people are all...
[07:20] Flight Attendant
    Sir, can I help find your seat?
[07:22] Finger
    Hey, don't you know what kind
    of people are on this flight?
[07:25] Flight Attendant
    I know.
[07:27] Flight Attendant
    People without bloodlines
    aren't allowed on this flight!
[07:30] Finger
    The passengers... are all hybrids...
[07:35] Finger
    Then this plane...
[07:38] Finger
    is basically... a flying dragon's nest!
[07:42] Finger
    That makes us family!
[07:44] Finger
    Why so stingy?
[07:45] Finger
    Only two drinks for economy?
[07:47] Finger
    Bring me a case!
SIGN    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!

[08:43] Finger
    Hey!
[08:44] Finger
    I saw this when I got off the plane.
[08:46] Finger
    Someone took this video over Antarctica.
[08:49] Chu Zihang
    These dragons look like loyal guards
    following the business jet below.
[08:53] Chu Zihang
    It could be AI-generated.
    Info like this shouldn't be public.
[08:56] Lu Mingfei
    Then...
[08:57] Tang Sen
    Lu Mingfei!
[08:58] Tang Sen
    Never thought you'd come to Xinguo, too!
[09:00] Lu Mingfei
    Tang Sen? Hello, hello!
[09:01] Tang Sen
    So happy to see you!
[09:03] Lu Mingfei
    These two are my friends:
    Finger and Chu Zihang.
[09:06] Finger
    Hi!
[09:06] Tang Sen
    Hi! Are you here to slay dragons, too?
[09:08] Finger
    Uh, what do you mean by... "too"?
[09:11] Tang Sen
    That's right. This is a
    special charter flight.
[09:14] Tang Sen
    We pre-screened all the passengers,
    and every single one is a hybrid.
[09:18] Tang Sen
    We're all here to slay dragons.
[09:20] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[09:21] Lu Mingfei/Finger
    This is a bit much, isn't it?
[09:23] Finger
    Come on, bro! Who do you think you are?
[09:25] Finger
    What makes you think you
    can slay dragons in Xinguo?
[09:28] Tang Sen
    I'm not that delusional.
[09:30] Tang Sen
    I just thought that it'd be a
    shame to miss such a major event.
[09:34] Tang Sen
    Have a chat with friends, and a
    vacation in Xinguo at the same time.
[09:37] Tang Sen
    Kills two birds with one stone, right?
[09:39] Tang Sen
    Look, some people even
    brought their families.
[09:41] Lu Mingfei
    Come to slay a dragon, and if that fails,
     treat it as a vacation?
[09:45] Tang Sen
    We're here on vacation.
    If we stumble upon a dragon, we'll slay it.
[09:50] Lu Mingfei
    Nice plan.
[10:01] Lu Mingfei OS
    Why does it feel like...
[10:03] Lu Mingfei OS
    there's a familiar scent here?
[10:12] Su Enxi
    Cut the crap!
[10:13] Su Enxi
    Five minutes ago, a 200,000-ton oil tanker
    sank in the Gulf of Mexico after running aground.
[10:13] Sakatoku Mai
    Autonomous driving again? How lazy.
[10:16] Su Enxi
    New energy companies will see a
    massive upside in the next three months!
[10:20] Sakatoku Mai
    Looks like you're having
    a good time in Shangdu!
[10:23] Su Enxi
    Hands off!
[10:25] Sakatoku Mai
    One touch won't kill you.
[10:26] Su Enxi
    Did you see the stuff I sent?
[10:28] Sakatoku Mai
    That bounty page on the Hunter market?
[10:30] Sakatoku Mai
    I saw it. Whoever posted it is really good.
[10:34] Sakatoku Mai
    They got every hybrid
    in the world involved.
[10:36] Su Enxi
    In just one week, three hybrid charter
    flights entered Xinguo from Anguo.
[10:41] Sakatoku Mai
    That means over 1,000 hybrids
    are already in Xinguo territory.
[10:46] Sakatoku Mai
    But with some of their bloodlines,
[10:48] Sakatoku Mai
    some will die of cardiac arrest the moment
    they enter the Dragon Emperor's domain!
[10:52] Su Enxi
    Over 3,000 have come from Xinguo,
[10:54] Su Enxi
    and even more from the West.
[10:56] Su Enxi
    Among them are three people named
    Finger Von Frings, Chu Zihang, and...
[11:01] Sakatoku Mai
    I saw our little baby.
[11:04] Sakatoku Mai
    Now that he's here, the boss should
    have new orders for us, right?
[11:07] Su Enxi
    I got an email from the boss three hours ago.
[11:10] Su Enxi
    The order is that Lu Mingfei must
    personally slay the Dragon Emperor!
[11:15] Sakatoku Mai
    Here we go again!
[11:16] Sakatoku Mai
    Is it really worth spending so much
    time on that useless piece of trash?
[11:20] Sakatoku Mai
    What kind of luck did he get?
[11:22] Sakatoku Mai
    So many people are fighting
    to be his babysitter!
[11:25] Su Enxi
    We can't question the boss's logic,
     but the order is this:
[11:28] Su Enxi
    the Dragon Emperor must
    die by Lu Mingfei's hand!
[11:30] Su Enxi
    Anyone else who has seen the Dragon Emperor
[11:33] Su Enxi
    will be buried with that dragon!
[11:35] Sakatoku Mai
    Those chartered flights
    have become death flights.
[11:37] Sakatoku Mai
    Fine, let them be sacrifices.
[11:39] Sakatoku Mai
    But the problem is,
    Lu Mingfei really is useless.
[11:42] Sakatoku Mai
    How can we ensure that he
    slays the Dragon Emperor?
[11:44] Sakatoku Mai
    And personally, no less.
[11:46] Su Enxi
    It's not impossible.
[11:48] Su Enxi
    Lu Mingfei's team has the Seven Deadly Sins.
[11:50] Su Enxi
    They're paradoxical weapons capable
    of slaying all Dragon Emperors.
[11:53] Su Enxi
    All he lacks is the will to pull them out.
[11:58] Su Enxi
    Using so many resources to
    make a little boy happy...
[12:03] Su Enxi
    Mai, do you think the boss genuinely
    cares about Lu Mingfei's feelings?
[12:09] Sakatoku Mai
    He doesn't care about anyone's feelings.
[12:13] Su Enxi
    Lu Mingfei really is lucky.
[12:15] Sakatoku Mai
    Many people have helped him,
    but that isn't happiness.
[12:19] Sakatoku Mai
    None of it brings him joy.
[12:21] Sakatoku Mai
    It just maintains his fragile
    balance on the edge of loneliness.
[12:24] Sakatoku Mai
    Whenever he's about to fall
    into the abyss of sadness,
[12:27] Sakatoku Mai
    someone always gives him
    a little bit of comfort,
[12:30] Sakatoku Mai
    to keep him hanging on.
[12:32] Sakatoku Mai
    I have this strange feeling that
[12:35] Sakatoku Mai
    when he truly reaches
    despair, he'll become...
[12:39] Su Enxi
    Become what?
[12:41] Sakatoku Mai
    Something like a demon.
[12:46] Finger
    With so much information and no leads,
[12:49] Finger
    how long will it take to
    find the Dragon Emperor?
[12:53] Chu Zihang
    What about Lu Mingfei?
[12:54] Chu Zihang
    Do you know where he went?
[12:55] Finger
    He went to an internet café.
[12:57] Finger
    He said playing games
    here would distract you.
[12:59] Finger
    Brother, we're both relying on you.
[13:01] Finger
    The other team is full of elites,
[13:03] Finger
    and you're dragging us
    two oil bottles around.
[13:05] Chu Zihang
    You've misunderstood the term.
[13:07] Chu Zihang
    "Dragging oil bottle" refers to a child born
    to a woman and her ex-husband after divorce.
[13:10] Chu Zihang
    Like me. I'm a dragging oil bottle.
[13:17] Finger
    What are you tinkering with?
[13:19] Finger
    Aren't we here to slay dragons?
[13:21] Finger
    Shouldn't we be scouting Shangdu
    with our gear, looking for dragons?
[13:23] Chu Zihang
    If by "equipment," you mean DSLR cameras,
[13:25] Chu Zihang
    that's what Tang Sen and
    his friends are doing.
[13:28] Chu Zihang
    They went to the Forbidden City
    as soon as they landed,
[13:30] Chu Zihang
    and will visit the
    Summer Palace in the afternoon.
[13:32] Chu Zihang
    They found traces of dragons everywhere.
[13:34] Chu Zihang
    There are dragon veins in the geography,
[13:35] Chu Zihang
    and imperial stone carvings
    depicting dragons and phoenixes.
[13:37] Chu Zihang
    But the quantity and complexity of these
    clues are obscuring what we're looking for.
[13:41] Chu Zihang
    That's why I've been analyzing
    seismic data from Shangdu
[13:43] Chu Zihang
    and its surrounding areas this year.
[13:44] Chu Zihang
    Seismic activity in Shangdu has
    increased tenfold this year.
[13:47] Chu Zihang
    I built a simple mathematical model,
[13:50] Chu Zihang
    and input these data points.
[13:51] Chu Zihang
    This might help us find the epicenter,
[13:53] Chu Zihang
    the Dragon Emperor of Earth and Mountains.
[13:55] Finger
    Amazing!
[13:57] Chu Zihang
    It's normal if you don't understand.
    I do science, you do humanities.
[14:01] Finger
    I do humanities?
[14:04] Finger
    Damn it, nine years of college and
    I just found out I do humanities!
[14:08] Finger
    According to your logic,
[14:10] Finger
    this Dragon Emperor always unleashes
    his power in one spot, right?
[14:14] Finger
    What if he's moving while doing it?
[14:16] Chu Zihang
    Why would the Dragon Emperor move?
[14:18] Chu Zihang
    Is he going to work?
[14:19] Finger
    You're right. He's probably
    hiding somewhere to recover.
[14:25] Finger
    Once he fully recovers his strength,
     he'll wipe us all out.
[14:29] Finger
    With this data, we'll be ahead
    of Caesar's team, right?
[14:33] Chu Zihang
    Hard to say.
[14:34] Chu Zihang
    Too many factors in the city
    could cause ground tremors.
[14:37] Chu Zihang
    Filtering them out could take a while,
[14:39] Chu Zihang
    and our time is limited.
[14:40] Xia Mi OS
    Mole, Mole, I'm Sweet Potato! May I come in?
[14:45] Chu Zihang
    Come in.
[14:46] Xia Mi
    Ta-daa!
[14:47] Xia Mi
    Hey, Brothers! Wow, what a mess!
[14:50] Xia Mi
    Is this the legendary boys' dorm?
[14:53] Finger
    Xia Mi, you're so beautiful!
[14:56] Finger
    Let me see your outfit.
[14:58] Xia Mi
    I was worried you'd starve,
    so I brought you some food!
[15:02] Finger
    Wow, all specialties from Shangdu!
[15:05] Xia Mi
    Huh? Why isn't Lu Mingfei here?
[15:07] Finger
    He went out for training.
[15:09] Finger
    Just share the food with us.
[15:11] Xia Mi
    I'm from Shangdu. I went home
    to see my parents today,
[15:14] Xia Mi
    and bought you some food.
[15:16] Finger
    Ah! This overwhelming sense of joy.
[15:18] Finger
    You really are a spy sent by us.
[15:20] Finger
    I knew you were secretly on our side!
[15:23] Xia Mi
    Of course, because you're the
    most handsome, Brother Finger!
[15:29] Finger
    Look, Brother, you still
    rely on my good looks
[15:33] Finger
    to escape the misery of
    eating junk food every day!
[15:36] Xia Mi
    Brother, what are you doing?
[15:39] Xia Mi
    Analyzing the seismic data from
    Shangdu to find the Dragon Emperor?
[15:42] Chu Zihang
    Yes, but there's too much interference.
[15:43] Chu Zihang
    It's like the wind creating
    ripples on the surface of a lake.
[15:46] Chu Zihang
    The fish is hiding beneath the surface.
[15:48] Chu Zihang
    When it fully awakens,
[15:50] Chu Zihang
    it will suddenly burst through
    the water in dragon form.
[15:52] Chu Zihang
    By then, it will be too late.
[15:54] Xia Mi
    So he's still in human form for now?
[15:57] Chu Zihang
    Yes,
[15:59] Chu Zihang
    otherwise he couldn't have caused the incidents
[16:01] Chu Zihang
    at the train station and the theme park.
[16:02] Chu Zihang
    A dragon in human form
    has its powers restricted,
[16:05] Chu Zihang
    as was the case with
     Dragon Emperor Norton.
[16:07] Xia Mi
    Developing a dragon body takes time,
    like going through another incubation period.
[16:12] Xia Mi
    So in the meantime, my parents would
    like to invite you for a meal.
[16:15] Chu Zihang
    Huh? Why?
[16:16] Xia Mi
    I told them that you've been
    taking good care of me, so...
[16:20] Finger
    Hey, is this the legendary
    "meeting the parents" thing?
[16:25] Finger
    So cute!
[16:26] Xia Mi
    Cute, my ass!
[16:27] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi, you can see how chaotic it is here.
[16:30] Chu Zihang
    I probably won't have time to go.
[16:32] Chu Zihang
    Thank your parents for their kindness.
[16:33] Xia Mi
    It's just a meal!
[16:35] Xia Mi
    You should have a few hours.
[16:37] Xia Mi
    My brother really wants to meet you.
[16:39] Xia Mi
    He was shouting on the phone,
[16:41] Xia Mi
    "Big Sister, I want
    Big Brother to play with me!"
[16:44] Xia Mi
    I had no choice but to invite you!
[16:46] Xia Mi
    Pretty please?
[16:54] Chu Zihang
    When?
[16:55] Xia Mi
    The day after tomorrow at noon.
[16:57] Xia Mi
    How about making dumplings together?
[16:58] Chu Zihang
    Sure.
[16:59] Finger
    Oh, dear.
[17:00] Finger
    I have plans for the day
    after tomorrow at noon.
[17:02] Finger
    I'd love to join you,
    but it's just unfortunate.
[17:04] Chu Zihang
    What plans do you have?
[17:06] Finger
    Visiting the 987 Art Museum.
[17:08] Finger
    Hey, Xia Mi the spy,
    what's Caesar doing right now?
[17:11] Xia Mi
    Him?
[17:12] Xia Mi
    I think he went to Liulichang.
[17:21] Caesar
    Are you Mr. Lin Fenglong, who uses the
    name Phoenix on the Hunter website?
[17:26] Lin Fenglong
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso.
[17:29] Lin Fenglong
    You look so young.
[17:32] Caesar
    I didn't come here for tea.
[17:34] Caesar
    I'm offering 200,000 An dollars for
    your information on the dragon.
[17:39] Lin Fenglong
    Even among Hunters, there are
    those who splash money around.
[17:44] Caesar
    I'm just having fun.
[17:46] Lin Fenglong
    Not far from here lies Guangcai Hutong.
[17:49] Lin Fenglong
    During the Yao Dynasty, it was where
    firearms and explosives were manufactured.
[17:53] Lin Fenglong
    Back then, it had another name...
[17:56] Lin Fenglong
    the Gunpowder Bureau!
[17:57] Caesar
    The Gunpowder Bureau explosion is one of the
    three most mysterious blasts in history.
[18:01] Lin Fenglong
    Yes. We have reason to believe
[18:04] Lin Fenglong
    that all three disasters were caused
    by awakening Dragon Emperors.
[18:08] Lin Fenglong
    In 1628 also, a Dragon Emperor
    resurrected in this city.
[18:14] Lin Fenglong
    Perhaps that's the one you're looking for.
[18:19] Lin Fenglong
    An ancient book from the Yao Dynasty.
[18:21] Lin Fenglong
    The paper is made from
    mulberry bark and dragon beard grass,
[18:23] Lin Fenglong
    so it can't be made by later generations.
[18:25] SIGN
    Records of Disasters
[18:25] Lin Fenglong
    These are the notes of an unknown
    author from the Yao Dynasty,
[18:28] Lin Fenglong
    describing the Wanggongchang explosion.
[18:30] Lin Fenglong
    It's the most detailed account
    available in folk literature.
[18:33] Caesar
    Even if this is the only copy,
[18:35] Caesar
    it wouldn't cost 200,000 An dollars, right?
[18:37] Lin Fenglong
    No, this book is everywhere.
[18:40] Lin Fenglong
    However, its contents differ from the
    traditional Records of Disasters.
[18:45] Lin Fenglong
    It contains an extensive
    additional section on geomancy.
[18:50] Caesar
    Geomancy?
[18:53] Lin Fenglong
    It's feng shui.
[18:55] Lin Fenglong
    This book details how the author
    found the dragon veins in Shangdu,
[19:00] Lin Fenglong
    that is, the location of the dragon.
[19:02] Lin Fenglong
    Shangdu still occupies nearly the same
     location it did during the Yao Dynasty,
[19:07] Lin Fenglong
    but some place names have changed.
[19:08] Lin Fenglong
    I'll sell you this book for 200,000 An dollars,
[19:11] Lin Fenglong
    and I'll throw in a map of
    the Yao Dynasty for free.
[19:14] Caesar
    Is this another treasure you found?
[19:16] Lin Fenglong
    No, it's the first edition from
    Xinguo Map Publishing, 2003.
[19:24] Caesar
    Deal.
[19:27] Lin Fenglong
    Goodbye.
[19:29] Caesar
    One more thing, Mr. Lin Fenglong.
[19:31] Caesar
    This book is genuine,
    so I'm willing to pay for it.
[19:33] Caesar
    But if you have ulterior motives,
[19:36] Caesar
    I guarantee you'll regret it.
[19:41] Lin Fenglong
    Are you satisfied now?
[19:43] Lin Fenglong
    I've been following your instructions.
[19:46] Lin Fenglong
    You would be easily discovered hiding here,
[19:49] Lin Fenglong
    especially with his Wind Devil Yanling.
[19:52] Parsi
    But you can neutralize his domain.
[19:54] Parsi
    Does that book really have
    clues to the Dragon Emperor?
[19:56] Lin Fenglong
    They should be hidden in there,
[19:58] Lin Fenglong
    but I've searched for decades
    and I can't find them.
[20:01] Lin Fenglong
    The minor tremors are growing
    more frequent these days.
[20:04] Lin Fenglong
    As you might have guessed,
[20:06] Lin Fenglong
    he's nearly beyond containment.
[20:07] Lin Fenglong
    Also, you still owe me the final
    payment of 2,500,000 An dollars.
[20:12] Parsi
    It's already been transferred
    to your account.
[20:14] Parsi
    You shouldn't care so much about money.
[20:18] Lin Fenglong
    As an old man, I have few other pursuits.
[20:23] Lin Fenglong
    I'm really curious.
[20:25] Lin Fenglong
    You bought that book from
    me for 5,000,000 An dollars,
[20:29] Lin Fenglong
    then had me resell it to him.
[20:31] Lin Fenglong
    Why such a hassle?
[20:33] Lin Fenglong
    Why not give it to him directly?
[20:34] Parsi
    He's always resisted the
    family's arrangements.
[20:37] Parsi
    Still in his rebellious phase, I guess.
[20:38] Lin Fenglong
    But this way, he'll think he slayed the
    Dragon Emperor with his own strength.
[20:42] Lin Fenglong
    Won't that make him more rebellious?
[20:49] Parsi
    All proud birds eventually
    return to their nests.
[20:55] Parsi
    Close this antique shop and leave this place.
[20:58] Lin Fenglong
    I...
[20:58] Parsi
    Don't say you're already dead.
[21:00] Parsi
    Although you've been crossed off the list,
[21:02] Parsi
    your old friend Anjou has been
    looking for you all these years,
[21:06] Parsi
    Mr. Friedrich von Ron.
[21:12] Lin Fenglong
    Frost talks too much.
[21:15] Lin Fenglong
    I hope you're the last person
    to know my name, Mr. Parsi.
[21:20] Parsi
    There's no need to keep it secret from me,
[21:22] Parsi
    since I won't be alive for long either.
[21:26] Chu Zihang
    Thanks for the delivery.
[21:28] Courier
    You're welcome.
[21:30] Finger
    What is this?
[21:32] Chu Zihang
    Professor Webber sent over the notebooks of
    the two missing investigators from Xinguo.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    They might contain some valuable information.
[21:40] Finger
    Good luck, Chulock Holmes.
