Chapter 40: A New Journey (1)

Three months later, Atlantis.

"Knock knock!" There was a heavy knock on the door.

"Please come in." In the room, a handsome old man was sitting on an ostrich-leather couch with a steaming cup of unsweetened hot coffee in his hand, a pile of loose papers in front of him, and a long open window to the east.

The door opened, the air flowed, and finally a black shadow broke in in the bright sunshine, it was a boy with a cold face, black hair and eyebrows, sharp edges and corners, thick bangs covering the corners of his eyes, looking tall and thin, the body was straight like a sharp javelin, exuding a sharp coldness, as if it made people feel that it was not a living person who had just walked in from the outside, but a piece of cold constant ice.

"Headmaster, are you looking for me?" The boy walked over to the principal's desk, stood still, and spoke to the man sitting on the couch.

"Yes. Sit down, don't be inhibited, there's coffee on the table. The principal raised his hand and took a sip of his coffee, and said nonchalantly.

"No thanks." Lin Sheng found a place to sit down, facing the principal, his hands slightly hanging on his knees.

"This is the mission report of the 'Prison Gate Project'." The principal pasted a document on the table and pushed it to Lin Sheng, and on the seal was a large red "S" letter made of fire paint.

"S" Class Mission, Prison Door Project!

"You're doing a good job, Lin Sheng. You have fulfilled your promise and succeeded in killing the Twenty-First Monarch of the Orcs, Lord of the Sea and Ice, Dilnagar. This is a great achievement, and the college will put your deeds in the school books. Congratulations, you became the first student in the academy to kill the king. The headmaster crossed his legs and gave him an appreciative look.

"But a lot of people didn't make it back." Lin Sheng lowered his head in disappointment and said softly.

"Don't blame yourself." The headmaster sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted, "They are all heroes of Atlantis, the academy will posthumously present them with the highest honors, their funerals will be held in front of the statues of Odin and Niold, and the whole academy will hold a moment of silence for them." ”

Lin Sheng ignored what he said about the highest honor, this kind of thing is of no use to a dead person. He knew that Kimura had never returned, and that they had all died in the Bering Strait, thousands of miles away.

What's the use of honoring if you can't come back? When you die, you're left with nothing left in the dark world. Unable to think, not feeling, like living in a dream, as long as you stretch out your hand, what you touch will always be cold.

"How do you explain to the family?" Lin Sheng changed the topic and spoke.

"In terms of family members, we will try our best to send people over to appease them, rest assured, the college will support them until the end of their lives, and we will try our best to meet all their living needs." The principal said. It could be seen that the old guy's heart was not comfortable, so his tone was more or less mixed with a trace of sadness.

"Thank you." Lin Sheng stood up and bowed to the principal. This was what he did for Kimura Chief, and it was the last thing he could do for them.

"It doesn't have to be this way." The Headmaster shook his head and said, "They have always been students of the Academy, and there is no reason why the Academy should ignore their contributions to the cause of the Divine Servants. ”

"I hope so." Lin Sheng nodded calmly.

After the words fell, the headmaster pushed forward the fire-painted document, and said to him with a somewhat serious face, "I hope you can read the report on the prison door plan, and listen to your opinion by the way." ”

Lin Sheng opened the top-secret document, which was written in English, and the person in charge was Lin Sheng, but it was Chen Mengdi who drafted it on behalf of him in the signed column. The contents of the document are as follows:

December 25, 2015, 8:27 a.m. The "S" class top secret mission issued by the college, codenamed "Operation Prison Door", was successfully completed, and Vice Chancellor Lance Stephenson personally supervised the handover at 8:28 a.m., so that the mission was successfully completed. The Prison Door Action Group has 11 personnel, 5 dead and ...... survivors Six people.

Other details are as follows......

Lin Sheng took a general look at it and found that except for some unnecessary things, everything on it, including the beginning and end of the "Prison Gate Project", recorded the process of this mission in detail. Even the time of Kimura's death and the number of survivors on the Miracle are recorded in great detail.

"Originally, this document could not be made public, but you are the executive commissioner of the Prison Gate Project, and this document must be seen by you with your own eyes." The headmaster smoked a cigar as gray white smoke drifted out of the sunlight.

"Hmm." Lin Sheng nodded and turned the last page.

"The report mentions that you used an unknown alchemy weapon to inflict fatal wounds on Dilnaga, and the school wants to know what kind of alchemy weapon it was. If there is a harvest, it will be the best, after all, we now have limited alchemy equipment, which will be of great help to us in the academic research of beasts. The principal shook the cigarette ash from the cigar, held it in his mouth, propped his elbows on the desk, leaned forward, and looked at Lin Sheng with a serious face.

"Of course, you can also not answer, whether you are hiding something that we don't know or not, I personally believe you. Since you don't say it for some reason, then I won't ask too much, after all, everyone has secrets, and I am no exception. The headmaster got up, then sat back down, "After today, all the details of this operation will be sealed in the file, and no one will pursue its process again, including me." But you have to promise me that you don't want to tell me the details, and don't tell anyone else. Is that okay?"

"Well, I see." Lin Sheng closed the document and signed his name in Chinese at the sealed reporter.

"Alright." The headmaster retrieved the document and inserted it into the bottom compartment of the Sakura bookshelf, alongside a pile of dusty papers.

"I declare the successful completion of the Prison Gate Project, and thank you to those who have sacrificed for us, whose merits will be passed on throughout Atlantis."

When the words fell, the principal stood up in silence, and Lin Sheng also stood up in silence. Three minutes later, the principal sat down, and Lin Sheng followed suit.

Then the headmaster pulled a few more papers out of the drawer and laid them all on the table.

"Here's your GPA transcript for the semester." He pulled out a most inconspicuous data sheet from it and handed it to Lin Sheng.

"4.0, congratulations, you got a perfect score, you received a scholarship issued by the college this semester, as in previous years, 50,000 US dollars. The afternoon will be transferred to your account through a Swiss bank, and here is the receipt, you can take a look. As he spoke, the principal pushed him a receipt and the transcript with the Swiss bank logo on it. Three gold-encrusted keys. The other is his GPA transcript, which is rated as full of honors.

Lin Sheng took the GPA transcript from the table, then pushed the receipt back, and said, "I can't use this money, please help me distribute it to the families of Kimura Changli and Xu Chong, and allocate another 100,000 yuan from my Swiss bank account to fund their lives." ”

"There's no need for this, the academy will give them the best compensation." The headmaster shook his head and leaned back against the leather couch.

Leon is right, many students in Atlantis die in the line of duty every year, so the college attaches great importance to reassuring them in terms of family members.

A high pension is inevitable, followed by the convenience given to them by various colleges. For example, if you sponsor your child to go to school, you can directly send your outstanding relatives to the University of Chicago in the United States. Of course, the qualifications of Atlantis are also very top-notch, and if they are interested in joining the gods, then the door of Atlantis is also open for them.

"But that's the only thing I can do." Lin Sheng said.

The headmaster was silent, but he finally relented.

"You're such a stubborn person." He put away the bank receipt and slipped it in his pocket.

In fact, Lin Sheng didn't say it, Leon would do it himself, it was nothing to spend more money, the last thing he lacked was money. The most important thing is that he is afraid that his family members will not be able to let go, after all, after so many years, the life and death he has seen, the last uncomfortable ones are those who are alive.

"Thank you." Lin Sheng said.

"Don't be in a hurry to say this, I called you this time in addition to those things just now, in fact, I still want to trouble you." The headmaster whispered.

"Got a mission?" Lin Sheng asked.

"No, just some aftermath." The Headmaster stood up from the couch and reached for a heavy document from the table. It is marked in red and is an annex to the "Prison Door Project".

The headmaster placed the document in front of Lin Sheng, then flipped through a few pages, and finally stopped at the page of Slade and Edward.

"Albert Slader, an Aussian-British, A-grade half-breed. The twenty-first monarch of the orcs, the king of the sea and ice, and a descendant of the dragon's blood of Dilnagar. Originally living in Queensland, Australia, he was rescued by Edward in the Timor Sea, and possessed the same godly order as the dragon king Dilnaga, 'Ice'. The spirit of release is 'dead silence', and the power is to devour everything. His strength is very strong, and it is preliminarily judged that his bloodline has completely surpassed the limits of humans, and it is possible that he has evolved into a pure-blooded beast. There is data to show that if Slade frees the Spirit of Liberation in the event of a full-scale outbreak, then his strength ...... It can even be compared to a beast blood king. The headmaster whispered, "A very dangerous man." ”

"Comparable to a king? Hybrids can also transcend boundaries and evolve into pure-bloods?" Lin Sheng asked with a frown.

"Theoretically...... No. "So far, there hasn't been a single example in the world that can prove the feasibility of a hybrid to evolve into a pure-blooded beast, so it doesn't hold up in dragon academic research." Of course, it is not excluded that there are exceptions. If the hybrids themselves have mutated, and the genes in their bodies can be completely mixed with the blood of the beast, then the possibility of humans evolving into pure-blooded beasts will be greatly increased. ”

"It's just that the odds are too small." "There will only be one out of hundreds of thousands of hybrids," the principal said. The number of hybrids in the world is already limited, and this concept of one in a few hundred thousand can be regarded as almost zero for us. So in the process of the half-breed evolving into a beast, 99% of the people will degenerate into Deadpool. In the end, it evolved into the kind of walking dead who are not human, ghosts or ghosts, and can only live in killing forever. The headmaster whispered.

"But Slade did, relying on his pure Ice King blood." Lin Sheng said.

"Yes." The Headmaster sighed, "That's what surprised us, and if this is an ability given to him by the Ice King's bloodline, then that explains why he placed Dilnagar's regenerated eggs on the Miracle." ”

"Is it because he is the grave keeper chosen by the dragon king Dil Naga, the dark warrior who guards the prince's soul?" Lin Sheng said.

"You know the Grave Keeper?" The headmaster's expression was a little surprised.

"I know, it was recorded in the "Eda Dragon King Sutra", and I saw it in the academy library, which has the most complete analysis map of the beast genealogy." Lin Sheng said.

"One hundred and seventy-eight pages of red annotations, top line?" The old guy spoke fluently the barrage of numbers.

"You've seen it?" This time it was Lin Sheng's turn to be surprised.

"The Grave Keeper, I translated." The principal said lightly. As he spoke, he pushed open the heavy paperwork, then pulled out a picture from underneath.

"Let's not talk about that, let's get back to business."
