Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Girl and the Whale Song

"Texas Hold'em? 21 o'clock? Fighting landlords? ...... Again, for novices who haven't even heard of kitten fishing, these rules are even more troublesome. ”

Nono put the poker back with a helpless face, and Imani sat at the table, his eyes full of wisdom.

Eri and Natsumi are also aware that there is a sadly thick barrier between them.

For Imani, who grew up in the mountains of Syria and then wandered and practiced penance in the martial arts gym, she has accumulated knowledge in sweeping legs, flying knees, and swinging fists, but as for playing cards, it seems too overclass.

After the Yamal's guests were evacuated by the "iceberg impact" incident, the giant icebreaker with 11 floors was transformed into an ice sea amusement park waiting to be developed.

Both redhead girls are fun-loving masters. Because of the mission, Nuno was temporarily separated from his three older brothers, who were not very familiar with each other and were disabled, and were "grief-stricken".

Eri Yi is an exchange student of the branch.,The status of the eight families of the snake is rounded up to equal the patriarch.,Being able to deign to run to the North Pole has already given the department enough face.,It's the most free person in the group.。

As for Lord JΓΆrmungandr, although as the end of the day approached, she was slowly correcting her attitude towards work. But Natsumi, who occupies a considerable part of the control of her body, cannot refuse any form of amusement park.

Drag the freshman into the water...... No, it is the duty of the old students to lead the students to understand the rich and colorful university life in Kassel!

The Inuit village marked on Vincent's chart was quite far away, and the ice sea it passed through was a large ice bump, not even a polar bear could be seen, and there was not even a mission report at the end of the day.

A group of violent people stared at the iceberg in a daze, and Nono seemed to hear the bars, arcades and luxury suites on the Yamal crying.

"There are 48 hours left...... Time is pressing, we have to take Imani to experience all the projects, especially playing mahjong! ”

"Huh?"

Nono: "There are no missions on the road, are you going to sleep until the end?" ”

Imani is the only freshman selected for the Avalon program and has little to no professional training. The only reason why she was selected was because of her S-class super bloodline, as well as the secret high-risk spirit.

To put it bluntly, it's a dozen. But given Avalon's lavish plan, she's a backup hitter at best.

"If you don't train for a long time, your bones and muscles will rust. The gym is on the seventh floor and they are very well equipped. ”

Xia Mi on the side couldn't help but feel a little moved...... No, it's angina. Is Cassel able to recruit this kind of monster every year, and it's really that fun to slay dragons?

Eri quickly crossed the "seventh floor". This junior sister's thinking is too distorted, and she must be subtly influenced to pull her into her own club sooner or later.

"Hey, hey, did you notice anything strange?"

Natsumi suddenly slapped the table.

"White-haired junior sister, two identical redheads, why is it only mine so normal! If this is an anime, wouldn't this girl become a passerby! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

With the exception of a small crew member who remained to look after the core of the icebreaker, the crew left the Yamal at anchor and set foot on the snow-capped Greenland ice field.

This steel monster is impossible for ordinary people to move at all, and with Norma's 24-hour all-round surveillance, the Yamal is very safe.

It's almost the northernmost part of Greenland. In the seas closer to the Arctic, there is not much land area left.

The action group worked in groups of three on snowmobiles and sleds to the unnamed village of Inuit about three kilometers away. That place doesn't even have a point on the GPS map, and if there is no satellite aerial photography to corroborate it, normal people will think that Vincent's nautical chart is wrong.

As for the elder Vincent, he was still receiving many periods of psychological counseling from Masashi Toyama, and the professor casually recommended to him a number of classics, the brightly colored kind, to neutralize the toxicity accumulated in his brain.

Soon, Caesar spotted a figure on the distant ice field, accompanied by two small huskies.

Before they could get closer, the human image noticed the visitor from a foreign land and immediately ran away on the sleigh.

The scythe brought back the man's voice, but unfortunately Caesar couldn't understand a word. Even in Kassel, Inuktitut-speaking students are rare, preferring to take Old Norse, Hebrew, and the like, which are useful for dragon archaeology.

"We're being treated like intruders."

Caesar said to Chu Zihang. The latter nodded, for a small isolated settlement, it was normal to be wary.

......

At first glance, there are less than a hundred simple single-storey houses in the village, most of them are pure wood, and the facades are painted in blue, yellow, gray and other monochromes. "Iron pots" are installed on the roofs of a few scattered houses to receive signals from the outside world.

The first thing Chu Zihang noticed was that the two off-road vehicles with a high chassis were parked on the left side of the village, and the outer layer had been modified and thickened, and the safety was quite reliable. They weren't the only visitors to the small village, and who would be interested here?

"I, Chu. We're from, outside. We have, food, warm clothing, supplies. Exchange, ask for some news. ”

The middle-aged man standing in front of Chu Zihang may be the only person in the village who knows some foreign languages. He greeted visitors when he spotted them, while the other villagers who had not gone out kept a safe distance from them.

"My name is Nooa, and I'm a hunter. I've hunted seals, I've been on whaling ships. ”

The man, named Noua, breathed into the palm of his hand, speaking slowly but clearly speaking. Chu Zihang could read the emotions in his eyes - vigilant, excited, curious. Noah is clearly more interested in the world outside the village.

"Who are you? What are you here for? ”

"Scientific investigation. We're a team of Arctic whales, and you're said to have had a huge number of whales pass by here. ”

Noah's eyes lit up as he said something to the old man behind him.

"He's our Angakut angakkut, well, the village chief. He said you could stay in the village for the night, but you had to set up your own camp. ”

The commissioners saluted Angaku, and Lu Mingfei walked over with two boxes of canned meat and spirits.

If you want to get intel on the aurora and whale colonies here, Noah and Angarkut are undoubtedly the key players.

......

After setting up camp, the group of the academy politely declined Noua's hospitality. As a thank you for his canned beef, he brought out two traditional Inuit pickled delicacies, Arctic herring and puffin, but both were stinky.

Arctic herring, which is fermented in wooden barrels in months, is fragrant compared to canned herring. Seal skin is made with spices and a black meat sauce fermented by puffins...... Lu Mingfei had always thought that this kind of thing was a joke, and Da Yu couldn't reach this kind of realm.

As for the Italian nobleman, he is already smiling and going in search of the Arctic penguin in case he suffocates to death.

"Nooa, I see other people coming from the village. They are? ”

"It's also a scientific research team, but the goal seems to be nautical chart mapping or something, and I think some land has not been accurately recorded."

Looking for undocumented land? A few people around him suddenly had some associations, but they remained silent.

"What kind of people are they? Maybe you've met one of our colleagues. ”

The smile of facial paralysis has a slightly inferior affinity to Ruri Kazama: skills that are not good always take more time to train.

"Ah, they're all Slavic men, they're stronger, and seriously, they don't quite match my impression of scientists......"

As he spoke, Noah suddenly realized that something was wrong. Speaking of being strong, there was nothing skinny among the others except the Asian who delivered the food and the handsome blonde man.

"Oh, their leader was wearing a silver cross necklace and was out a while ago. He's a very impressive person. ”

Perhaps it was the effect of intuition that Chu Zihang became more and more wary of another group of visitors. They may have met their peers.

"Regarding whales, do whale pods pass here every year? Around what time? ”

Noah shook his head.

"I know the huge whale pack you're looking for. They are special, pods of whales herded by the gods, navigating the sea of ice under the guidance of Sedna. ”

"God?"

"Angarkut tells us that the king of the whale herd, the apostle of Sedna, led the whale to guard the temple of the Sea Spirit. I don't know what those are......"

Lu Mingfei searched for it at Normana. The three spirits of heaven, earth, and sea worshipped by the Inuit, Silas, Anningark, and Sedna.

"I remember you saying you were on a whaling ship?"

"Shh

Noah was embarrassed.

Grain

"We swore never to harm God's whales. I've only tracked their course on the ship, never hurt them, and never shot any other whale. ”

Chu Zihang wrote it down carefully. The more religious the locals are, the more likely there is a problem with the king of whales.

"Have you seen the aurora on a large scale here? 'The skirt of the goddess' in some sayings? ”

"I've seen it!"

......

The burning fire gradually changed from a violent crackling sound to an occasional creaking.

Noah had almost all the information he had. Ange took a few students and worked with the villagers on a few sea fish by the fire.

At the same time, the roar of car engines was heard on the other side of the village.

Ange wiped the blood off the folding knife with ice and snow, and retracted it into the cuff, leaving not a trace of filth or fishy smell on the blade. He glanced at the students, and the group adjusted their stance and position slightly.

Noah was right. The leader of the other group of visitors is indeed hard to forget after the first sight.

Objectively speaking, his appearance is not particularly outstanding. High cheekbones, deep eye sockets, dark gray eyes, neatly cut slightly curly short hair.

The peculiar aura of a man, if you want to describe it in words, is a deep and changing mystery. But the anomaly is that anyone will feel that he comes with good intentions, genuine and friendly.

Unfortunately, there were no bloodline knots among the people present, so they couldn't detect the details of the other party.

A few more people got out of the buggy. They didn't come to contact them just now, they should be waiting for the leader's instructions.

"Gregory, we are a privately sponsored expedition to the Arctic. It was a blessing to meet a pioneer in such a remote, cold place. ”

Gregory and Chu Zihang shook hands very normally, and the silver cross reflected a beautiful luster on the black clothes.

Chu, a researcher at the Woods Hole Institute, is funding this year's new Arctic project by wealthy people who have too many illusions about the Arctic. I'm mainly responsible for some negotiation work. ”

Grigory quietly observed the group at the Academy.

Angers, plus almost all the elite of the younger generation. Gattuso, and the monsters with questionable pedigree...... It seems that today is not suitable for hands-on.

He noticed the direction of Chu Zihang's eyes and pointed to his cross necklace.

"I'm a devout Christian. To live in this world, you must always find a pillar for yourself.

Oh, Noua! Have you decided, come on our ship, you are a very good sailor and navigator. ”

Grigory noticed the hunter of the village, but Noah shook his head decisively.

"Mr. Chu also invited me, but I can't agree for the time being, I have to stay in the village."

A hint of danger flashed in Gregory's gray pupils, but Chu Zihang didn't notice it at close range.

It's a bit troublesome, these people are present, and they can't use unconventional means. Why did Kassel invest such horrific manpower, and were they the same as themselves?

"Noua, you are not destined to belong in this village. Sooner or later, you'll get out of here and never come back. ”

Orion still shook his head, without hesitation.

"Then I can only ask more questions. Noua, I'll have to delay you a little longer. ”

Chu Zihang took the initiative to give up his invitation to Nua and cut off Gregory's follow-up words.

Whether the other party is really an inspection group, or other teams under this banner, or even a half-race force, just leave it alone.

"Where are you going next? If we happen to do it, maybe we can go along? ”

"I'm sorry, but our boss is a very private person."

Chu Zihang regained a paralyzed face, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"It's a pity. We're almost done here, and we wish we goodbye somewhere in this snowy country. ”

Grigory looked only slightly displeased, waved his hand, began to pack his luggage, and left with the convoy in a short time.

"Shall we go after them, knock them all out first?"

Caesar and Chu Zihang turned back in horror at the same time, and found that it was Lu Mingfei who made this punishable recommendation. This thing is now a bit like a combination of the Headmaster and Fingal.

It didn't take long for Chu Zihang to receive a message from Luo Yin. Since he went to Siberia, communications have been cut off for several days.

"These three are mid-to-high-ranking members of the Evolution Sect, and they have close ties to the Dark Side Monarch, so be careful if you encounter other suspicious ones. The evolutionist program in the Arctic is on a large scale. [Image] [Image]

Pay special attention to the engineer Nasimov, and the princess Anastasia.

We are rushing to Moscow to investigate further and cannot come for the time being. There is more than one monster hiding in the North Pole, be careful. ”

Evolutionary? Luo Yin thinks that the Evolutionists may interfere in their actions?

Chu Zihang suddenly saw the silver cross necklace on Nasimov's chest, which was exactly the same as Gregory's. Whether it's size, style or unique engraving, there is no difference.

According to Luo Yin's note, Nasimov was the high-level liaison of the Evolutionists at an important base. Hell, they should have carried out Lu Mingfei's plan just now.

Chu Zihang streamlined the key information and sent it to a few reliable teammates, and Ange's gaze suddenly became dangerous. The gang slain dragons for the sole purpose of becoming dragons.

The sky was getting darker and grayer, and they began to hesitate about their next move. This small village, which was originally just a little suspicious, seems to be hiding secrets that they have not noticed.

Knock knock!

Noah heard an unusually violent knock on the door and hurried back to the house to open the locked door.

The thin little girl ran out of the room with a frightened face and ran towards Noua.

"Tata, x##x, ##!"

Angarkut, who had been in no mood before, saw the little girl, and suddenly his face was full of anger and shouted at Nua.

"What she said was, Dad, God is coming, run!

Angarkut ordered Nua to keep the girl under control, and the villagers had warned him not to let the girl run away. ”

Fortunately, there was Norma's translator, so they only knew what was going on a beat late.

On the side, Caesar subconsciously ignited the golden pupil, and after the bloodline was fully awakened, the dragon power that was close to the second-generation species made the brains of the surrounding villagers dizzy.

They were far away from Caesar and away from the father and daughter of Noua, or more precisely, from the daughter of Noua.

"Caesar!"

"The whale song, the sound source is more than five kilometers away from us, about 1,000 meters deep....... He is rapidly ascending and moving straight towards us. ”

Nono grabbed Caesar, who was half-kneeling on the ground, with one hand, worried that Caesar was secretly taking drugs.

"Bloodline inspired, his bloodline resonated with a nearby high-level dragon, a temporary symptom."

Ange did not elaborate. Caesar didn't hide his other half of his bloodline, he could probably guess.

"I'm fine, just a brief vision. It was a golden-eyed whale, of unknown breed, and he was in a state of extreme excitement. Very aggressive. ”

Caesar stood up, his expression serious. He had been in such a situation once before: in the face of the deformed black snake, the dragon suspected of being the king of water.

"Aggressive?"

"He indiscriminately releases a wide range of ultra-low temperatures, which can freeze the spirit of the entire sea."

The crowd turned to Noah's daughter. The little girl found out that the dragon analogy was a little earlier than Caesar, who had a sickle.
