In the dim darkness of the water, two people wearing wetsuits with the characteristics of breathing equipment carefully inspect the underwater river with some kind of peculiar exploration equipment.

"Regular report, this is Kuimen No. 3, nothing has been found so far."

"This is Number Four, and some metal fragments have been found mixed together and are being extracted."

The command center of the temporary conversion of fishing boats on the surface sounded the reports of underwater explorers.

Mance said with the same expression: "Three, go to support Four, and replace it after collecting samples." Five, six, get ready. ”

"Understand ......"

After the silence of the communication, Mance rubbed his brow and sighed, for in the five hours since he arrived, or even earlier, underwater operations like this had not stopped. Not only here, but in several other bodies of water, there are more than 100 specialists who are doing the same thing.

It's just that this time-consuming and labor-intensive operation consumes so much, their harvest is not very good, and they can only salvage some sundries that they don't know if they are useful or send them to the technicians of the Alchemy Department for inspection.

As for the things that the vice-principal focused on asking him to look for like "doors" or have the concept of "doors", there is no trace of them at all.

After sighing, he put on another headset connected to the command channel of the executive department, but the extremely loud sound from inside made him turn his face away, and after a while he tentatively approached the headset.

"With all due respect, Vice Chancellor, what do you mean by searching for something like a 'door'?" In the central control room of the Kassel Academy, Schneider, who was carrying a heavy breathing device, asked the old man lying on the recliner loudly with some excitement.

The loud sound brought the control room, which had been busy for a second, to a moment's pause, and the operators all looked at him, and then returned to their previous busy state after a certain phone rang.

In the case of extreme emotion, Schneider's iron-gray eyes with anger with a little gold intent were brought to him, and against the scarred corners of his eyes, they looked extremely terrifying.

Faced with such a question, which could be regarded as a confrontation, the vice principal yawned indifferently and said, "Of course I'm looking for an entrance to that dragon's lair, otherwise what else can I do?" Looking for a fast food restaurant? ”

The sound of breathing equipment running, Schneider, who took a deep breath, leaned closer to the recliner and lowered his voice: "Vice Chancellor, have you forgotten the Greenland incident seven years ago?" Before all the information was destroyed, the report I made made specifically emphasized the existence of the 'door'! ”

"So doesn't that mean that the dragon came out of the 'door'?" The vice-principal replied, seemingly nonchalantly, "If you don't find the door, how can you find the dragon?" "Or is it the world where he's hiding?

Schneider opened his mouth, but did not speak, and he himself understood that this was a very contradictory question. If you see the door, you may suffer a heavy loss, but you can't find the dragon without finding the door.

"If I could, I would need someone experienced to deal with it, but the dragon's strange behavior also makes us have to be on guard......" The vice principal said with a heavy face as he looked at the situation on the river projected on the screen in the control room, "and if it's a trap, at least we have someone else to mobilize." But ......."

"But why should I say this?" The Vice Chancellor grimaced, and then began to scold, "Are you the head of the executive department or am I the head of the executive department?" Do you need me to teach you what to do in an emergency? When you find the door, you're afraid that a dragon will come out, won't you blow him up first? Are all the alchemy bombs over there for decoration? ”

Under a series of rhetorical questions, the thirsty vice principal unscrewed the flask he had been carrying and took a sip, then leaned back on the recliner and said, "Well, but the premise of these is that you can find the 'door'." You said that I spent nearly a hundred years looking for something, and as a result, you little devils were bumped into one by one, who do you say should be emotional? ”

Schneider was silent, his emotions were indeed a little out of control under the stimulus of the word 'door'. He had dragon blood in his body that far exceeded the proportion of ordinary half-bloods, and this dragon blood allowed his broken body to move, and it also made his personality begin to shift to the paranoid side.

It was also because he had some kind of emotions like the principal that allowed him to overcome his own dragon side, allowing him to survive until now, and to be able to complete the command of the executive department normally.

At this moment, he had calmed down, he apologized to the vice principal, and then said to Mance, who had been in the channel with him for a while: "I already know the search situation on your side, increase the search team to a group of three, and continue to increase the search area." He also told the commissioners who carried out the mission not to act rashly after discovering the 'door', and to report it to this side in time, and Norma's side has been monitoring their life signals. ”

"Understood." Mance was going to be distributed, and fortunately the commissioners of the various branches had arrived not long after them, otherwise the men he had brought with him would not have been enough to carry out such a large search task.

It's just that...... He had a slight doubt that the searches would be useful.

The situation in Mesopotamia also illustrates something. For example, the "door" can be controlled by the dragon on the opposite side to prevent other creatures from entering. For example, the concept of "door" can be more than just "like a door", it can be something simpler, like the one they are floating on at the moment...... Yangtze.

However, it is too extravagant to use the entire Yangtze River as a "gate", which may also refer to a certain body of water. Although when you think about it, it seems that the search scope is a little smaller, but it is actually more troublesome.

"Vice Principal, I have something to say to you alone." Mance said that after receiving a reply that had blocked Schneider, he himself returned to the unmanned captain's room.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Mentor Flamel." At the beginning of Schneider, Mance looked out the window at the bright river illuminated by searchlights and said, "Although the power of the 'key' is very strong, what happened under Mesopotamia, do I ...... his ability?"

It's just that before he can say the question behind him, the commotion in the distance attracts his attention.

……

Unlike on the brightly lit river, in the jungle where there was no light on the bank of the river in the distance, the man holding the armillary sphere tightened his clothes.

Even though it was only early winter, the cold wind on the bank of the Yangtze River also made him feel a little cold.

Glancing at the armillary sphere, which only had a faint reaction, the man said with some dissatisfaction: "Although the existence of the surrounding 'qi' exists, it cannot reach the point where the mirage appears, and it is very different from the situation where the wheel spins and flies when the mirage is opened on the coast. Did the dragon really hide in a mirage? Or is there really a mirage in this place? ”

"A mirage that is completely hidden, even a pure-blooded high-level dragon may not be able to find it, and the fact that the armillary sphere can react proves that he is here." One of the other two people who was with him replied, "Also, if he were outside, the flow of 'qi' he caused would not have been hidden from the armillary sphere's induction." ”

"Keep searching, it's better to work in vain than to regret it afterwards......" said the last of the three, and then he paused and said, "Although I want to say this, our trip to the seaside has really turned into a wasted effort, and the girl was allowed to stay in the outside world." ”

"Don't discuss this topic here." Someone reminded.

"Understood, let's continue to investigate." Putting away his complaints, the person holding the armillary sphere smoothly held the instrument in his hand, and kept changing directions to observe the movements of the armillary sphere.

In the distance, on a meadow somewhere in the dense forest, Mai Sakatoku, who was covered in dead leaves and camouflage, temporarily put down the night binoculars that had been staring at the three of them, intending to rest her eyes.

In addition to these three people, there are many hybrids belonging to Huaxia who are still searching in the dense forest at this moment. These people, who usually have no sense of existence, have more or less influenced her actions, but with the help of her own spirit and companions, she has no one to notice when her hidden ability is full.

"You go and get some rest, now it's my look, with your ability and the concealment talisman I gave you, it should be easy to get out of here." Beside the living creature, a female voice sounded.

Although the ghost's combat style is more melee combat, the good job is still caster. Although she only inherits the memory of the Heroic Spirit, she is not as good as Lu Mingfei as the master in magic knowledge, but it is still possible to make some magic costumes with the protection of the earth elves.

For those who are fused with the Heroic Spirit, the effect of these props may not be as good as their own abilities or treasures, but for Mai Jiude, these wonderful alchemy props are still of a lot of help.

Jiude Mai, who was already surprised by the sudden voice, shook her head: "I don't need to rest for the time being, compared to this side, have you found anything over there?" ”

The four people, who originally had different purposes and thought that the mission location would be different, gathered again on the bank of the Yangtze River. They weren't surprised by this, because the destinations of the three people who were in charge of the ghost and Mai were not too difficult to guess.

After exchanging information with each other, the four of them separated and continued their mission.

Seeing that Mai really didn't need to rest, the spirited ghost said, "I'm still probing the bottom of the water, and what I know is similar to what Eva has learned." ”

Then she added: "But soon the harvest will be paid, and the master has given them a magic dress for this situation, maybe they will be able to enter the Nibelungen here." ”

Mai, who was not surprised at all, nodded, as early as when EVA introduced the job agency before, they in the assistant group knew that their boss's various wonderful methods were the magic in their cognition. Before that, the boxes of philosopher's stones he took out had already made them talk about it.

Su Enxi, who knew this, almost ran directly to ask if there was any kind of person who made people directly "whoosh!" "The kind of spell that will not gain weight no matter how you eat it, and then after the ghost said that this is already the realm of the gods, he will die.

"I hope everything goes well......" Mai's crimson gaze wandered, and she whispered as she looked at the brightly lit river in the distance, "I always have a sense of foreboding." ”

"I feel the same way." The ghost said the same thing, if it weren't for the spirit, she would probably have crouched down and touched the earth.

She said, "The spirits of the earth are full of uneasiness, and there is more in the Nibelungen than the seed called Samson. ”

……

Somewhere away from the river where the investigation was going, Lu Shanyan stopped and said to the air around him, "Although the magic of this river is about the same as the outside world, if you feel it carefully, you will feel that it is a little higher. ”

"So you're going to go into the water?" The air twisted, and the tiger with a green cloak to hide its figure appeared.

He looked back at the forest that he couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but he could clearly feel the presence of the forest, and said, "I really don't want to go down if I can, obviously I finally came to my home field." While here, I can feel my whole spiritual base cheering. ”

"Okay, we don't even need air, what kind of water will we be afraid of." Lu Shanyan said this and opened the small suitcase in his hand.

Unlike the mana crystals used for supplies, the transparent gem in the chest, which was about the size of an adult's palm, was filled with golden runes. If you look closely, this rune stone seems to be a little different from other rune stones, in terms of size, compared to the small rune stone suitable for hiding, this rune stone must be packed in a suitcase to be taken over is a bit over-spec.

The second is the engraved text, which is more like a sentence than a single word.

Summoning the spell of the Magic Mirror Gate, Lu Shanyan recalled Lu Mingfei's introduction to this magic stone. He couldn't figure out the difference between spells and runes, but they all seemed the same to him. But for Lu Mingfei, or the group he represents called the magicians, the difference seems to be a bit big.

No longer thinking about this, Lu Shanyan, who recalled how to use it, turned around and asked the tiger: "Have you brought all the supplies?" This time, we have to travel lightly, and it is too easy to expose the target with the box. ”

"Don't worry." The tiger lifted his green cloak, revealing the satchel on the green light armor inside, "You're not the only one with a phobia of lack of firepower. ”

Then he patted his chest, "The spare one is also hidden, but I don't want to use it."

Lu Shanyan also patted the blue crystal on his waist like a bullet clip, nodded and said, "I don't want to use it either, but it's always okay to be prepared."

"Eva, the operation on our side is about to begin, and we are finally confirming that this terminal of yours can support us without a signal, right?" Without rushing to activate the spell stone, Lu Shanyan took out a mobile phone with a large screen and asked.

Although the link between them and Lu Mingfei is still there, it has become very vague because of the distance. This situation may be even worse after entering the Nibelungen.

At this time, modern technological creations can reflect its convenience. This can be a good aid even in the event of a signal outage.

"Di-drip-drip-, the photography module is being inspected and in good condition, and the call module is being inspected and in good condition...... The self-test has passed, and the terminal status is intact. ”

"I'm fine on my side." Tiger also raised his terminal and said.

Nodding to the invisible figure in the dense forest in the distance, Lu Shanyan came to the river and held up the magic stone: "Then let's start."

Letting go of his hand, the priceless Spell Stone sank to the bottom of the river, and after that, a golden light as bright as a golden pupil bloomed on the surface of the water.
