Although the YAAL is a huge cruise ship, they are not traveling this time.

In Gu Bei's words, even if he travels, he should pick a place where birds sing and flowers are fragrant, instead of running to the Arctic Circle where birds don't.

What can I see here?

White snow, white ice, white arctic foxes and polar bears.

This broken place is like a funeral, and it is unlucky to look at it.

Fingal didn't understand the aesthetics of the Celestial Empire, but he agreed with Gu Bei's words, after all, in his memories, this place was indeed not such a beautiful place.

"I would like to present to you the contents of the mission."

In one of the ship's conference rooms, Schneider's image is projected onto a screen, with a view of the command center of the Kassel Academy's executive department behind him.

Obviously, with Schneider's physical condition, he is not able to adapt to the cold of the Arctic, so he can only be responsible for remote command, and the instructor who led the team with the trainees on the ship is......

"Guderian! You're not turning on the microphone! I can't hear you!" Schneider's stern voice came from the stereo.

The curly-haired old professor who sat in the first place bounced straight from his position, holding a red lobster in his hand.

Gu Bei: "Where did the lobster come from?"

Fingal: "From Australia."

Gu Bei: "...... I didn't ask you where it came from."

Fingal: "The restaurant prepared it for lunch, you know, the ship was originally a cruise ship, so the ingredients in the restaurant are all high-end goods, like the Jodanov I brought you earlier......

"Wait a minute!" Gu Bei noticed the question, "Have you had lunch?"

"Hmm."

"Why didn't I?"

"Because you were out there."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I'm eating Australian lobster."

「…… You're damned!"

And Schneider, who was at the Kassel Academy, also saw the scene in the conference room through the camera, and his face darkened: "Guderian, I will let the principal carefully consider your professor's score this year."

「NO！」 Guderian hurriedly stuffed Aolong into Fingal's hand, "Schneider, I wasn't eating just now, I was just stopping Fingal from eating at such a serious time, you have to believe me!"

Schneider: "...... If you have anything you want to say, turn on the microphone first."

Guderian hurriedly pulled Fingal to tinker with the equipment.

Gu Bei, who felt a little bored, turned his head to look out of the porthole.

Eri also leaned on the porthole and looked out.

At this time, the YAAL happened to pass by a medium-sized iceberg with a height of more than 25 meters, and the wall-like ice cliffs glided against the hull of the ship, showing a dazzling blue color, and the white waterfowl stood on the top of the iceberg, watching the red behemoth pass by.

Anyone who knows icebergs will know that only 1/10 of the volume of icebergs will surface, and the underwater part will account for 9/10.

A 25-meter iceberg means that the entire iceberg is almost 250 meters high, of which more than 200 meters are below the surface of the sea.

It's just that the YAAL is not much shorter than this iceberg.

The YAAL has a total of 11 cabins, of which five are below deck and six are above deck.

As a cruise ship, it is natural to implement the stage pricing method, so the higher the cabin of this ship, the more expensive it is sold.

However, the top floor is not available for sale.

The cruise company's explanation for this is that the floor is filled with all kinds of communication equipment, but the real reason......

"I have a question."

After Guderian and Fingal debugged the equipment, Gu Bei asked questions before Schneider spoke.

"Speak."

"Why didn't we charter the boat directly, but as a tourist?"

Schneider shook his head, "First

To correct it, your status is as a member of the expedition and not as a tourist, and secondly, it's not that the academy can't afford to charter this ship, it's just that we can't do that."

"Can't?" Gu Bei wondered, "Why?"

Schneider pinched the bridge of his nose with a little headache: "Commissioner Gu, I need to remind you that if you have carefully read the mission information, then you should know that the crew of this ship is also one of the objectives of your mission this time."

Belch...... What's going on?

Isn't their mission just to investigate the Greenland ice incident seven years ago?

Gu Bei turned his head to look at Fingal: Didn't you say that it was because the academy ran out of money?

Fingal smirked.

Well, it seems that this thing didn't read any stinky and long mission materials, but yes, things that can be clearly explained in one or two sentences have to be written on eight or nine pages, and a fool can only read them.

And for this situation, Schneider has long been surprised.

In the entire executive department, there are basically few people who will read the task information carefully, everyone directly asks the time, person, and place, capture or kill, and then go to the task, which is very efficient.

However, Gu Bei's mission this time was quite special, so they didn't inform the mission goal in advance.

"I thought there was something wrong with the college's funding." Gu Bei smacked his lips and glanced at Fingal, "The rumors of the bankruptcy of the Kassel Academy turned out to be false."

"No, there are some problems with the Academy's funding chain." Schneider did not shy away from this aspect, but told the truth, "But this will not affect the progress of the mission, all the funds required for the mission are the first priority, if you only need the YAAL for this mission, the academy will also buy this ship."

Gu Bei: "The academy is bankrupt and still so rich?"

Schneider: "It's actually a little bit too late to say bankruptcy, but it's just because the funds can't be turned around for the time being."

"Can't turn around?" Gu Bei was a little curious, "What did you do with your funds?"

Schneider looked at Gu Bei with strange eyes: "The principal is collecting the funds and preparing to buy the dragon bone cross from someone."

Gu Bei: "...... Okay, let's skip that and talk about the mission."

Fingal snickered, "Actually, it's good to talk about the funding."

Gu Bei slapped Fingal on the head: "Shut up!"

There was a jog before getting to the point.

"Your mission is twofold." Schneider's image disappears from the projection and is replaced by a man's profile.

"First of all, investigate the purpose of the YAAL."

Gu Beimo rubbed his chin: "This man is ......"

"Sasha Rybalko, whose real name is Alexander Rybalko, was a major in the Alpha Special Forces of the Russian Federal Security Service."

Schneider said slowly in a deep voice.

"He's the captain of the YAAL - at least on the surface, because he doesn't know how to sail a ship, his forte is shooting and hand-to-hand combat, and he's skilled in almost all military equipment, you can use him as a breakthrough."

"Oh!" A light bulb seemed to light up on Eri's head, "Just like in the game, this person is a clue NPC!"

Schneider: "...... It can be understood so much."

"Wait a minute!" Gu Bei frowned, "We are talking about investigating the other party in the conference room on the other party's ship...... What is this?"

"You can rest assured of that." Schneider looked at Fingal, "Although this guy's character is not very good, but the technology is trustworthy, and with him, half of our conversation will not leak out."

Gu Bei glanced at Fingal and agreed with this statement.

The most powerful artificial intelligence in the world is Eva, and the programmer who is even more powerful than Eva is Fingal.

With him, then a lot of secrets are absolutely safe

Total, but these secrets don't include what style of bitter tea you're wearing today.

So the meeting continued.

"According to the information we have, he was hired as the captain of the YAAL for fifteen years, and the person who hired him was the real target of the mission you were looking for - Vincent von Ludwig."

Reelbacho's photograph disappeared from the curtain, and Schneider reappeared on it, revealing what information they had.

"Vincent is a German-Argentinian, and although his name has never appeared on the Forbes rich list, he is actually one of the richest people in Argentina, and no one knows where he earned his money, except that he rented the YAAL from the Russian authorities in 1995 as an Arctic sightseeing boat."

Schneider felt very awkward when he spoke, because of what Eri had just said, he now felt as if he had become an NPC in the game that issued a quest - similar to the feeling of the novice village chief.

Gu Bei raised his eyebrows: "No photos?"

Schneider shook his head, "We don't have anything useful other than this information, Vincent has kept himself hidden very well, but you can try to find him at the very top of the YAAL - I heard that he is basically there."

"So what?" Fingal interjected and asked, "What do you need us to investigate?" There's always a direction, right?"

Again, one doesn't look at the mission data.

Schneider was a little tired: "You need to investigate the purpose of the YAAL."

"Purpose?" Gu Bei scratched his hair, "Isn't this a cruise ship?"

"It's not really a cruise ship."

Schneider pulls up a bar table with expenses at the top and income at the bottom, with the year at the bottom of each bar.

"In the income and expenditure statement of the YAAL from 1995 to 2009, Vincent has to pay a huge amount of rent to the Russian authorities every year, pay the crew salaries, and carry out regular maintenance on the YAAL, even if the YAAL can bring a lot of income as a luxury cruise ship, but at this level of loss, Vincent has no reason to continue to lease the YAAL to Russia, unless he has some reason to use the YAAL."

"YAAL...... Icebreaker ......" Gu Bei suddenly realized, "His purpose is the North Pole!"

"That's right," although his personality is not very good, but his brain is still spinning quickly, Schneider finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Vincent has to go to the North Pole every year during the lease of the YAAL, even if there are not many tourists in the off-season, it will not stop, obviously the loss is very serious, but he has not stopped exploring the North Pole, this is a very abnormal behavior, and at the same time, we have investigated that Vincent is actually a mixed race without a registered identity, so we have reason to suspect that Vincent should actually be looking for something in the Arctic Circle."

"...... in the Arctic Circle" Gu Bei seemed to suddenly think of something, his face was a little strange, "He shouldn't be looking for our second mission target, right?"

The corner of Schneider's mouth twitched: "It's not that this is not impossible, since I have said this, then I will simply put the specific content of the second task ......

Fingal waved his hand: "Teacher, there is no need to talk about this matter, I am very familiar with it, and I will explain it clearly to Gu Bei later."

"What about me?" Goodrie, who had never had a sense of presence, interjected.

But no one paid any attention to him.

The secrecy of Operation Greenland's Ice Sea is not low, and even Guderian, who led the mentor, did not know that there was such a mission.

is also because of the particularity of this additional task, so this time the executives are only Fingal and Gu Bei, as well as Eriyi.

On the screen projection, Schneider was silent for a moment, and then said, "Regarding the content of the operation of the Ice Sea Mission, the principal's message is to tell you to stop in moderation and return immediately if something unexpected happens...... That being said, I don't think you'll listen to it either."

Speaking of this, Schneider sighed: "The action regarding the Ice Sea mission has been since ***, and now

In the hands of the executive staff, as the commander-in-chief of the operation, I have only one request - to come back alive."

"Understood."

Communication is lost.

"It's really interesting," Gu Bei yawned, "Our mission target is actually looking for another mission target of ours, isn't that too coincidental?"

"It's just a possibility." Fingal shrugged, "But it's quite likely."

"In that case, we can only investigate Vincent's side first." Gu Bei pondered, "First figure out what this thing is looking for, if what he is looking for is the target of the mission, we can solve the two tasks together."

"Yes."

Guderian looked at Gu Bei and Fingal curiously, "Don't you think you should explain to me about the second mission?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Eri, "Isn't it easy for Uesugi-san to say?"

Eri: "OvO"

Well, she doesn't look very curious.

Gu Bei and Fingal glanced at each other.

Gu Bei got up from his seat and stretched: "Eriyi, do you know where the restaurant is?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's go!"

"Good!"

"Wait a minute, the goal of the second mission ......."

Guderian tried to keep Gu Bei, but was stopped by Fingal, "Professor, I think we need to discuss the issue of Australian lobsters now."

Guderian: "......"

"Okay, I won't ask."

Fingal said seriously, "Really don't ask? I was going to tell you about it......

"Really?"

"Fake."

「…… I'm the mentor for this operation!"

"But the second task belongs to the executive staff," Fingal said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Professor."

Guderian: "......"

This Kassel Academy takes jujube pills!
