It was cold and unusual, like a sea water that could freeze flesh and blood, gushing out of the huge dark space beneath the seabed. Although the seawater that has been closed for a long time can still be soaked in it and breathe freely like on it, there is a little pungent rust smell in the water, which makes people feel slightly uncomfortable, and I can't help but wonder if it is really okay to soak in such water.

The huge hollow that was made by the dragon king Behemoth himself and deliberately hidden was extremely dark, and only countless tall and stout pillars could be faintly seen standing in it.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand, the magic power gathered at his fingertips, and then he made a movement and slowly lowered his hand. In the dark cavern, a figure was slowly swimming towards him, it was Frost Gattuso.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Frost stopped some distance away from Lu Mingfei, pressed his left chest with his right hand, bent down slightly, and made a chest salute to him from a distance.

He was still dressed in a black suit, which looked a bit like a butler's suit. Although the hair is still gray, it looks like a young face, and it looks unusually pale because of the ice water that the half-breeds can't stay in for long, but it is also much better than the previous twilight appearance.

Lu Mingfei glanced at him deeply: "I remember, the relationship between us should not be good enough for you to salute me." ”

"It wasn't something I wanted to have such a bad relationship with you in the past, but I was in the position of the Gattuso family at the time. After all, with such a good person as you, I don't think anyone would really want to fight you. Frost said that he spoke with great humility and even an honorific title.

Lu Mingfei glanced him up and down: "So what?" What are you doing here? Are you trying to ambush me? ”

"I did have this intention at the beginning, after all, you are the only commissioner in recorded history who has faced a complete dragon king and can still get out of the way, and you are also a temporary commissioner." Frost bluntly admitted, "For an existence like yours, I think there will be people paying attention wherever you go." Maybe it's to curry favor with you, or maybe it's to guard against you. ”

"Oh? So who are you? Lu Mingfei nodded as if he understood.

The latter...... Although I wanted to say so, His Majesty the Dragon King who ordered me to come must have overestimated my abilities. Frost let out a long sigh, "What if I could lure you here with bait?" After all, people like me may not be able to enter your eyes, so I thought, can we try to solve the matter between us in a more peaceful way? ”

Although the black shell hidden below the layer of sediment looks a little broken, it is also protected by the alchemy matrix. It's not normal to let a mermaid sneak in and out at will, no matter how you look at it, so this is naturally a trap.

Lu Mingfei looked at him quietly, a red light flashed in front of his left eye, and the mania on Frost's body, the smell that he didn't like very much, came even through the sea, and it became heavier and heavier.

His silence was considered by Frost to be acquiescence, so Frost began to say to himself: "Mr. Lu, your abilities are indeed unforgettable, and it may not be just because of your family background that Ange is so fond of you. ”

This sounded a bit like nonsense, and Lu Mingfei looked at him unhurriedly, wanting to see what tricks he could say.

"Your prestige is at the top of the ranks among the students, and even Caesar, whom we have high hopes for, cannot match you." Frost continued, "So, I wonder if I have the honor of making a deal with you? ”

“…… I wonder if there is another hidden existence behind you? He raised his head, looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "After all, I think I know very well about the energy of the secret party, how far Ange can go, and how far his friend Flamel can go, I don't think anyone knows better than me." ”

Looking at Lu Mingfei deeply, he said softly: "And the two of them, although they are both extremely good, it may be said that they have led an era of half-bloods." However, it is obviously impossible to cultivate such a good being as you as. ”

Did such a conversation happen once a few days ago? Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then shook his head, thinking that he was too bored to think of staying here and listening to nonsense.

He didn't look at Frost either, but waved his hand, and the magic gathered in his hand. Then he paused again as before, and after a moment he glanced at Frost with a strange look on his face.

“…… Don't do anything weird again. He said something inexplicable, closed his eyes, and floated in the cold water as if he had lost consciousness.

Not seeing this as a good opportunity to attack, Frost floated in the position where he had just been, quietly waiting for his answer. After a while, Lu Mingze opened his eyes gently.

His eyes lit up with dark gold, and he glanced at Frost, who was honestly floating on the opposite side: "You are so honest, you really let me down." ”

"It was an honour for me to speak with Your Excellency in person." Perhaps not expecting to face such a presence directly, Frost once again made a chest salute, with a pleading expression, as if he had met a great and mysterious king.

As if moving his body, Lu Mingze shook his neck, and then frowned a little: "The air outside here makes me feel really uncomfortable, like a dusty can that has been opened for many years, making people want to vomit." ”

"I'm very sorry to host you in such an environment, and if I could, I would like to receive you on a formal and solemn occasion." Frost said with sincere trepidation.

Lu Mingze waved his hand, and the surrounding sea water surged, solidifying and forming an ice throne behind him. Sitting on the frosty throne with one hand on his cheek, his dark golden eyes glanced at Frost lightly, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

He tilted his head and looked at Frost: "Forget it, maybe I used to be a little more particular." But now, tell me what you want to do. ”

"Thank you very much, it's a pleasure to have you listen." Frost breathed a sigh of relief, and he bent down again to salute, "Perhaps in your world, the struggle is never to the death. But Your Excellency, times have changed. ”

He raised his head and said in a solemn tone: "Your Excellency, although it may be a little inappropriate to have someone like me, it is a thing of the past to not die. ”

Lu Mingze didn't speak, he looked at him quietly, there was no emotion in his dark golden eyes, but he vaguely showed a look like he was looking at a fool.

"Countries that used to be restless have now cooperated. I wonder if your relationship with your kind, with other dragons, should change as well? Frost continued.

He seemed to want to continue, but was interrupted by Lu Mingze raising his hand.

"I said, are you mistaken?" He leaned against the frost throne, and there was a cold look in his dark golden eyes, "First, don't judge a race you don't know with your narrow-minded gaze that makes people laugh. Besides, the strife provoked by humans has not ended to this day, so why don't you go to them and say don't die? ”

"Second ......" Lu Mingze's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the boastful Frost in front of him and said, "I'm asking you to say what you want to do, not letting you say these lakes that you don't have to make me." ”

Frost's body stiffened, not because the cold sea water couldn't stand it, but because a huge will descended on him, making him unable to move. He could only reluctantly raise his head and look up at the pair of cold golden eyes above.

"I don't know what you mean, Your Excellency." He was extremely glad that he was soaking in the icy water, otherwise the cold sweat he was pouring out would probably reveal his true feelings.

Lu Mingze didn't speak, he continued to hold his cheek with one hand, looking at him quietly, as if he was watching a clown who was performing.

After a long time, he said faintly: "I'm a little curious, did you lie like this when you were in front of Behemoth?" ”

Frost took a deep breath and pressed the remote control hidden in his hand. In the next second, the silent underwater space lit up, and the pillars standing in the deep sea lit up with lines, and the alchemy matrix engraved on it was instantly activated. The light of the alchemy matrix reflected each other, illuminating the appearance of those "pillars".

It was the largest number of steel ships, from battleships with long guns and short guns, to aircraft carriers with even old fighter jets parked on their decks. The rusty hulls of the ships tell the story of their history, and in the muzzles of their still standing guns, dangerous elements are converging.

"Oh? Saratoga, and Independence? Lu Mingze was a little more energetic, looked at the boats below, and pronounced their names as if announcing the names of dishes, "Nevada, Arkansas, Prince Eugen, Nagato, even the Lexington and Hood are ......"

"I can't see that Behemoth's collection is still very good." The corners of his eyes curled and he chuckled twice.

These ships can be said to be famous, without exception, they are all representative warships of various countries during the Second World War. Of course, the kind that sank for various reasons. But now, it is a marine shipwreck that no one remembers except for some military enthusiasts, and it can even be said that it is a large marine garbage.

And these almost forgotten big guys, honestly lying in the depths of this Nibelungen, are embarrassing in number, and have to lament the cruelty of that war. Their broken, even broken hulls have been repaired, and they have been inscribed on the Alchemy Matrix, transforming them into more dangerous and powerful alchemy warships.

This is the true posture of the Nibelungen, a steel city made up of countless forgotten things, named the city of ten thousand ships in Norse mythology.

The roar of steel resounded under the water, and countless muzzles containing dangerous elemental fluctuations were raised, aiming at this side. The target is Lu Mingze, who is sitting on the Frost Throne, and the shelling begins.

……

The sudden roar stopped the few people in the castle who were paddling forward. The water seemed to be shaking, and the castle began to shake before the roar that came from below the seabed.

"Earthquake?" The tremor did not slow down, Chen Motong leaned against the wall to stabilize his body and asked.

Zero approached a transparent window somewhere, looked down and said, "No...... It's shelling. ”

Although some of them were difficult to see, the light of the shelling from under the seabed still carried up the sea, and the boiling water was full of bubbles, as well as various small fish that had escaped, and of course, many more had been turned into corpses. The red light continued to extend upwards, and the temperature of the sea gradually warmed up......

Like a volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea, the breath of destruction gradually fills the sea.

Feel the message in the magic loop, and look down. She returned to the front of the group and took the lead and said, "Let's go, our time may be running out, and the dragon king has already begun to fight back." ”

Chen Motong didn't follow immediately, she came to the zero position just now, and leaned on the window to look down. In the fierce light of the fire below, there seemed to be an incomparably familiar figure looming. It wasn't until Susie in front of her screamed that she withdrew her gaze from there and quickly chased after her.

Unlike the heat outside, the corridors of the castle were deserted. The mermaid guards who had been patrolling before had completely disappeared, and the empty hallway was almost filled with the words "This is a trap".

"It's really motionless just waiting for us to pass." Fingal took out the terminal to confirm the route, "Breaking into the enemy's lair like this stupidly, I would have wanted to smoke myself two big cocks in the past." ”

Above the terminal, there is an unlocked map. Except for the main hall-like building in the middle, which is still in darkness, the rest of the place has been unlocked. At the same time, the alchemy matrix of these unlocked areas also fell into the hands of the colleagues who invaded the alchemy core, and they can be controlled through this EVA terminal...... However, against the target of the dragon king level, this seems to be useless.

The glittering, old-fashioned but luxurious gate appears ahead. Everyone was silent, ready to face the king of the sea and water, who had been hidden for thousands of years.

"So, just do what you just said." Before Fingal swam to the gate, he turned back and said, "If you want to quit now, it's too late." ”

No one answered him, and all but Zero had extremely solemn faces, even Caesar, who had thought of coming here alone. Although he had already been prepared to face the Dragon King, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous when he really arrived at the gate of the Dragon King. But they're all here, and as Fingal said, it's too late to retreat or something.

Again, without speaking, Fingal turned his head and pressed his hands on the door gently. It didn't take much effort for the door of the Dragon King's main hall to be opened. Inside the main hall, Percy Gattuso was bound to the torture rack, while Behemoth sat high on the throne, his long tail floating with the water, as he had seen in his dreams.
