Chapter 169: The Blooming World Tree
On the Kassel campus, bells rang around every corner, and the whole school entered a tense atmosphere.
When Lu Mingfei and the others came to the library, there were already all people in the library.
Ange, who should have been suspended from exercising his rights as principal, also came to the scene and stood in front of a huge screen.
Schneider, the head of the executive department, who rarely appears in public, also participated in the gathering, wearing a black mask and standing quietly aside, behind him is a cart with gas cylinders.
In the same way, Professor Mance, Guderian, Manstein and other Kassel mentors were almost all present.
This is an extremely rare occurrence for Kassel.
Even the previous Tokyo incident in Japan and the Beijing subway incident in China have never been so serious and dignified.
"Can't I come? My rating is only E! Fingal grumbled and said to Professor Guderian.
After Fingal's hard work, after the overall evaluation at the end of the past period, he finally did not need to be relegated.
But even if he doesn't downgrade, he just wants to be a salted fish, okay?
"This is the headmaster's roll call, let Norma inform you to come." Professor Guderian whispered, and walked towards his old friend Manstein.
"Where's your student Natsumi?" Manstein looked at Guderian, "Isn't it true that the message from the school board is true?" β
Guderian frowned, "What message?" β
"Natsumi, suspected of being the king of the earth and the mountains." Manstein's face was serious, "If we were to be infiltrated into Kassel by a dragon king, the consequences would be unimaginable. β
"Are you mentally ill again?" Guderian looked at Manstein, "Didn't I say you, is this possible?" Wasn't the King of the Earth and the Mountain taken away by Odin? This is stated in the reports of the Rector, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mance, and even Fingal, Chu Zihang and other commissioners.
And, how could my student be a dragon king? The school board is crazy? β
Guderian retorted loudly, and his voice quickly caught the attention of everyone present.
Schneider turned his head to look at the two people who were arguing, and his voice was not emotional, "You have to quarrel and quarrel again, now is not the time to quarrel." β
On the podium, in front of the huge screen, Ange reached out and pressed the crowd, and the library quickly fell silent.
Ange, who was wearing a black suit, seemed to have gray hair, but at this moment, he was even more majestic, and his face was as cold and resolute as a knife and an axe.
His gaze looked around the students present, and finally landed on Lu Mingfei's body and paused, his eyes slightly complicated.
But that complexity quickly faded.
He said, "Norma." β
As Ange's words fell, the huge screen lit up.
On the screen, there is an icebreaker and a marked shipping lane in the Arctic Ocean.
"Headmaster, do you want to organize us to go on a winter trip to the North Pole to relax?" Caesar's voice sounded from behind at this time.
"If you want to go on a winter trip, I don't mind giving you a long vacation, as long as you can pass the credits, of course, it's not the time for a winter trip." Ange looked at Caesar, "Say hello to your uncle for me." β
"Oh, you know, I don't have a crush on him, and I'm tempted to shove my shoe in his mouth, and maybe I think you'll be able to do that soon, Headmaster." Caesar shrugged.
"You're paying attention to that, I've made a note of it." Ange said, ending Caesar's conversation and glancing at Schneider, "Introduce our students." β
Hearing this, Schneider took a deep breath, and even the entire library could hear his inhalation.
He is like a dying ghost, forcibly fighting death, trying to stay a little longer in the world, and about to die.
Under his black mask, a hoarse voice rang out, "The Yamal, the largest icebreaker ever exhibited in the world, was once owned by the Soviet Union. β
"But it has nothing to do with what we've gathered together." Schneider looked at the crowd, "This icebreaker has a casino, and the person who runs this icebreaker is a man named Vincent. β
"His real identity is World War II, SS lieutenant, Vincent von AndrΓ©s."
"He has lived aboard the Yamal for decades, making annual voyages around the Arctic Ocean."
"His purpose is to find a so-called treasure."
"In our investigation, there were three portraits of Hit, and all three of them were an island."
"Legend has it that the island is called Avalon, and in the center of the island, there is a towering tree, the World Tree, whose leaves cover the entire island, so that Avalon is not eroded by time, so that time will stop passing for this, and it is rumored that in that island, it can survive forever."
Schneider published an investigation of the three paintings, the Yamal, and Vincent, "After the end of World War II, two of Hit's three paintings were burned, and the last one fell into Vincent's hands. β
"The Academy suspects that the painting has something to do with the Dragons, so it's been secretly investigating."
Speaking of this, Schneider glanced around at everyone, his gaze was cold, "Originally, the secret monitoring of the Yamal allowed us to clearly control his movements, and there was no need to put this matter on the operational mission of the Executive Department so quickly." β
"However, until a week ago, the Yamal went to sea ahead of schedule."
"This is not consistent with the Yamal's previous voyages."
"But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Yamal went out to sea and deviated from its sailing track, and our people didn't see it at the stations that the Yamal passed through every year."
"This is the first time in many years that the Yamal has deviated from its course."
It was quiet in the library, except for Schneider's voice.
Everyone knows that it can't be that simple, otherwise Kassel wouldn't have rang the bell.
Schneider said, and a photo of the Yamal stranded on an iceberg was played out by remote control.
"When we found it, it had already had an accident, and the entire icebreaker was covered in snow and ice that condensed into solid ice, and it took us three days to melt the ice and snow on it."
"It's like going to the coldest place in the world, and even the nuclear reactor has been scrapped."
"This is an extremely rare thing for the Yamal, which sails the Arctic Ocean all year round."
"The most important thing is the next few images." Schneider released two more images, "These are photos taken from the cameras on the Yamal." β
On the screen, there are two photos of Norma dropping.
One is under the dark night sky, the aurora in the sky is gorgeous, like the skirt of a god, mysterious and desirable.
Just at a glance, people can't help but be shocked by that scene.
It's beautiful.
That's what everyone thinks when they see that picture.
It's hard to imagine that in the world, there are such beautiful and gorgeous auroras.
If it's the first photo, it's just shocking, and I think it's the most beautiful night scene in the world.
The second photo, then, plunged the entire library into a dead silence.
Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Because the second photo shown on the screen is a World Tree!
It is a golden, blooming world tree outlined in the dark night sky in countless auroras!
The bright, golden World Tree, like using the aurora as the brush and ink and the sky as the canvas, covered the sky under the aurora, covering the sky and the sun, and seemed to envelop the whole world.
Magnificent.
In front of the World Tree that covered the sky, it seemed that even time stood still.
If we say that the previous two photos, the Yamal and the aurora at night in the North Pole, are still within the scope of human understanding.
So the last picture, the last World Tree covering the Arctic sky, is far beyond human imagination, and even rises to the supernatural.
At this moment, everyone thought of the dragon clan!
A certain dragon king, in the Arctic Ocean, caused this kind of movement!
Only the Dragon King was able to create such a magnificent and spectacular supernatural phenomenon.
When he saw that photo, Lu Mingfei felt a deep uneasiness in his heart.
Because he knew why the Yamal had traveled early.
That's because Su Enxi smashed it with financial resources.
The early departure of the Yamal was entirely for the sake of Mai and Ella.
Ella wants to figure out why her spirit imprint disappeared into the North Pole, and Mai has been to the North Pole, so acts as Ella's guide.
With Ella, no one or a dragon should have been able to threaten them.
However, after seeing the photo of the World Tree that covered the sky, Lu Mingfei's heart sank.
He believed in Ella, but it seemed that the things of the North Pole were beyond their knowledge.
Until now, the connection between the wine and Mai and the headquarters is still broken.
Lu Mingfei should have thought that since there were people, or dragons, who could erase the spiritual imprint left by Ella, then the other party would not be simple.
At the same time, what made Lu Mingfei even more uneasy was that the World Tree he saw in his spiritual vision actually appeared in the real world.
In Vision, Nono says that there is no time left.
What is there no time left?
What does that portend?
Lu Mingfei's mood was a little irritable at the moment, and he couldn't help but look at Nuo Nuo, who was sitting with Susie.
Why did he see Nono in the vision.
What was that nightmare Nono had?
By Lu Mingfei's side, Fingal, who had been thinking of sneaking to the cafeteria to get a few free elbows after the meeting, became a lot more silent and introverted when he saw the frozen Yamal.
When I saw the World Tree in the photo, there was some inexplicable emotion surging in my eyes.
It seems that the memories of ten years of dusty have broken free with those two photos and poured into my mind uncontrollably.
In his mind, the girl who was in the deep sea of the Arctic Ocean, who was pouring in strength to push him out, appeared so clearly in front of him.
Fingal lowered his head, his eyes obscured by the messy bangs.
He reached out and gently stroked the computer screen in front of him, stroking the girl on the screen.
That girl, everyone knows that she is the secretary of the Kassel Academy, the artificial intelligence of the Kassel Academy, but almost no one knows how she was born.
In the eyes of many people, no matter how humane Norma is, it still can't change the fact that she is a cold machine.
She's just made up of a bunch of programs and code.
No matter how much she resembles a human, she is only imitating human logic.
But at this moment, on the computer screen in front of Fingal, the artificial intelligence girl named Norma also stretched out her hand towards Fingal at this moment.
Their hands were like they were holding each other across the screen.
But they obviously can't touch anything, they can't touch anything, all they can touch is the cold monitor.
"Oops, are you sad again? Come to the ice cave, I'll invite you to a drink, don't be sad, okay, it's not worth it. Fingal's screen showed a line of words.
Fingal looked at the line and didn't speak.
"You should know that the girl has been left in the deep sea of the Arctic." Norma wrote with her finger on the screen.
Fingal knew.
He just wanted to see her and just watched it.
Fingal took a light breath, gathered his emotions, and then bumped his elbow into Lu Mingfei's arm.
Sensing Fingal's movements, Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze from Nono's body and looked at Fingal.
This look made Lu Mingfei a little surprised, "Hey, senior brother, what's the matter with you, how do you feel like someone owes you millions." β
Lu Mingfei had never seen Fingal look like this.
In Lu Mingfei's impression, Fingal is almost all cheap, and the typical waste material style that is passable is not good.
"Do you know if this style isn't for you?" Lu Mingfei whispered.
Fingal just looked at Lu Mingfei and said seriously, "I want to go to the North Pole." β
He wanted to go to the North Pole, he wanted to kill that thing under the Arctic Ocean.
He wasn't sure what it was, but he just wanted to go.
Even if the thing under the Arctic Ocean is really Niold, the king of the sea and water, he wants to go, and even wants to stimulate the other party's body with a knife with his own hands.
He wanted to go under the deep sea and see the place that used to be.
There, there's a girl waiting for him.
Even if so many years have passed, even if he doesn't know that in that place, that girl is still there, waiting for him, is it that girl, or something.
But he still wants to go, no matter the process, no matter the outcome, he wants to go.
In the past ten years, he has never given up searching.
After he became the leader of the North American half-breeds, Henkel kept an investigation, and he was paying attention to the Arctic Ocean, but the progress was slow.
With their power, they can't act really, on a large scale.
Moreover, with their strength, they can't really compete with something that is suspected to be a dragon king.
But Lu Ming is not different.
Fingal looked at Lu Mingfei with a determined look in his eyes.
He also saw the news in Su Enxi's group, and he also knew that only Lu Mingfei's team could help him achieve his goal.
Whether you go to that place, or deal with something under the Arctic Ocean, you need the strength of Lu Mingfei's team.
Only the dragon king can deal with the dragon king.
Only Lu Mingfei can bring these dragon kings together.
And he is very fortunate to have such a junior brother.
Although I don't know why Lu Mingfei was so good to him, oh, except that Lu Mingfei spent all his savings on the first day of school.
