Chapter 253: The Captive Dragon
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Lu Mingfei held the Glock pistol with both hands and fired continuously. Dozens of brass bullets were poured out in an instant. The huge gunshots echoed in the closed room, and even the candle shadows on the lampstands on both sides of the wall were shaken by the wind from the gun.

The exit velocity of a normal Glock 17 is 220-500 meters per second, but this Glock 17 has obviously been modified and upgraded, and the exit velocity has exceeded the speed of ordinary rifles. The penetration and destructive power of the pistol have been significantly improved, but the corresponding recoil has also become much larger. Because it is held in one hand, it has a recoil that is more difficult to suppress than a rifle.

However, in this situation, Lu Mingfei was still able to accurately send each bullet into the most ideal trajectory. While avoiding Qin, he also blocked Bernardo's entire body position.

Having witnessed Bernardo's behavior, Lu Mingfei naturally would not show mercy. He did not deny that a large part of his anger towards Bernardo came from the transfer of hatred towards Herzog.

This is a behavior that only cares about one's own selfish desires and disregards others.

These... lowly and incomplete creatures!

The bullets whizzed towards Bernardo. With the bullets flying faster than the speed of sound, the tens of meters between the two of them seemed almost invisible. In just a few tenths of a second, these bullets could be accurately delivered into Bernardo's throat, brain and torso.

On the way here, Lu Mingfei heard Charlotte say that Bernardo was suspected to have more than two words, one of which was Yinliu, and the other was a defensive word, suspected to be immortal or higher. But even if Bernardo had a defensive word, it was impossible for him to withstand bullets at such a short distance.

But Bernardo suddenly smiled. The moment his golden pupils lit up, the speed of the bullet seemed to suddenly stagnate... No, it was obviously stagnant.

Then, Lu Mingfei and Charlotte felt an unprecedented huge gravity pressing on them, just like the Monkey King in the myth who was suddenly carried up Mount Emei and Mount Xumi. Their joints creaked and made a sound of oppression, and they couldn't help but want to crawl on the ground to relieve the oppressive feeling brought by gravity.

The wind was blowing violently, and the bullets, under the pressure of dozens of times the gravity, fell to the ground with a "ping pong" sound.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and tried to adjust his breathing, fighting against the tremendous weight of his body. Under the pressure of gravity, the blood in his body was also flowing downwards, and his brain was gradually falling into a state of ischemia.

Although it was the first time that he experienced the effect of this word spirit, he was not unfamiliar with this kind of word spirit effect that was so overbearing that it was beyond human comprehension.

"Is this... royal power?" Lu Mingfei squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"You can still speak?" Bernardo raised his eyebrows, "Yes, it is the kingship."

Word Spirit·Royal Power, sequence number 91, has already broken through to the level of high-risk Word Spirits, and is several sequences higher than Chu Zihang's Word Spirit·Jun Yan. This is the Word Spirit that Yuan Zhisheng, the young master of the Sheqi Eight Clan, possesses.

Lu Mingfei had seen the terrifying effect of this word spirit. Even a being like Snake Deadpool, who had been deeply transformed by the dragon genes, could only kneel and crawl until his flesh and bones were torn apart under the pressure of royal power.

Bernardo... In addition to the Word Spirit·Yinliu and the Word Spirit·Immortality, there is actually a third Word Spirit?
"Do you find it strange that I have so many words?"

Bernardo seemed to see Lu Mingfei's doubts and shook his head. "You think too much. Of course, it is impossible for a human to have so many Word Spirits. Even I, who have undergone a blood transfusion before, can only master two Word Spirits."

"This word spirit... belongs to it."

Bernardo suddenly grabbed a chain on the ground, and as he pulled it, a surge of air suddenly surged in the room. The only difference from when Bernardo used the Word Spirit Yin Flow before was that there was no elemental flow in this airflow, it was more like a simple gust of wind.

"Puff puff" is the sound of flapping wings.

The ground was shaking slightly, as if some huge monster was about to be born. Behind Bernardo there seemed to be a cellar or a deep well, and there seemed to be something underneath. As Bernardo pulled the chain, the guy was sensed.

Amid the increasingly turbulent air currents and the sound of flapping wings getting closer and closer, a huge creature slowly emerged from the well behind Bernardo.

"Dragon...?" Charlotte's eyes widened in shock. Under the pressure of gravity, she had to speak slowly and slowly: "Is this the dragon that your Santarem branch has raised?"

Yes, a dragon flapped its wings and flew behind Bernardo. Its body was symbolically tied with iron chains, its wings were covered with bone spurs, its tyrannical fangs protruded from its jaws, and its muscles were stretched with a copper-colored luster. With its deep breaths, its dragon scales closed and opened. Although this dragon had the appearance of a dragon, it was much smaller than the first-generation stupid dragon Fenrir in the imperial capital subway, or the second-generation dragon servant of the bronze and fire king Norton under the Three Gorges. But even so, it was already larger than a normal human, almost as big as an adult elephant.

Fourth generation dragon... or fifth generation? Lu Mingfei judged in his mind.

“Although I really want to kill you right now, it’s a bit too easy for lowly creatures like you.” Bernardo smiled, “I want you to watch with your own eyes the person you want to save become my Dragonborn, and watch me become a Dragonborn with my own eyes.”

Bernardo said, turning his gaze to Charlotte.

"Although you have excellent bloodline and are more suitable to be my vessel than Qin, it's a pity that everything for the ceremony has been prepared. I can only reserve you as my next vessel."

Bernardo said, turning around and looking at the dragon flying in the air.

"Look." Bernardo sighed deeply, "Isn't it beautiful? Its muscles, its powerful wing membranes, and its perfect body lines. God can actually create such a perfect creature. Soon I will be able to become him."

"It's just a lizard with wings..." Lu Mingfei said, deliberately provoking Bernardo.

“How dare you!” Bernardo yelled, pointing his cane at Lu Mingfei. “How dare you blaspheme the greatness of our dragon race!”

The moment he pointed his cane at Lu Mingfei, the dragon behind Bernardo roared, and the gravity pressing on Lu Mingfei suddenly increased again. However, even so, Lu Mingfei only half-squatted on the ground, without any kneeling or crawling movements.

Lu Mingfei finally understood that the Word Spirit·Royal Power was actually the Word Spirit of the dragon, but as the regional head of Solomon's Temple, Bernardo had the ability to command this dragon.

The soft soil floor in the basement is deforming and sinking. I wonder what kind of incredible weight is pressing on the ground?
"Why don't you kneel down!" Bernardo pointed at Lu Mingfei, furious!
Just when Lu Mingfei thought that there would be a stronger pressure on him, the gravity on his body suddenly disappeared, and his body felt so light that he could fly with just one jump. This instant change made Lu Mingfei a little uncomfortable.

"How dare a lowly person dare to overstep his authority?" Lu Mingze sneered as he stood beside Lu Mingfei, patting him on the back. "You can get up, brother. In the time stop of my 'Platinum Star', the effect of the royal power has no effect."

“No need for you to remind me.” Lu Mingfei pouted and stood up. He sat up as if his back and waist were sore to stretch his joints. Every time he moved, his joints made a “crackling” sound. “You took so long to come. I thought you were going to watch me get crushed to death.”

"How could that be possible, brother? I am your dearest brother who loves you the most." Lu Mingze smiled, "I just wanted to see how far you could hold on by yourself, but I didn't expect that your performance has exceeded my imagination. Under the pressure of gravity just now, even Caesar Chu Zihang would have fallen to his knees, but you were able to hold on."

"No way?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. The arrogant student union president Caesar and the paralyzed senior brother would be forced to kneel down? He would never believe it. They would rather die than kneel down.

"Don't overestimate human willpower, brother. Under a gravity hundreds of times greater, even the strongest will will succumb to the body." Lu Mingze blinked and said with a smile, "Just like you, brother, as long as you make Liu Miaomiao's body succumb, no matter how strong her willpower is and how unwilling she is to accept Su Xiaoqiang, she will eventually listen to you, brother."

"Hey, hey, hey! What the little brat said is a bit weird!"

The little devil stuck out his tongue and said, "I am sincerely giving you advice on your behalf, brother."

Lu Mingfei did not comment on Lu Mingze's words. This guy's words were always like this, half of them were acceptable and half were not.

He turned to look at Charlotte beside him: "Isn't Charlotte kneeling too?"

"She is different." Lu Mingze shook his head. "Brother, did you see the staff in her hand? That is the legendary scepter of the god Hermes, the token of the patriarch of the Gaotingen family, which has the ability to cut through all alchemical fields. The essence of the Word Spirit is also a kind of alchemical field. Because of the existence of the staff, she can barely resist the gravity of the kingship."
