Late at night at the Kassel Academy, three o'clock in the morning.

A cold wind blew, the thick clouds of the night sky were blown a little, and a ray of bright white moonlight cast a mysterious silver veil on this castle-like academy in the mountains.

Fingal hummed a cheerful tune into the empty library, the night shift clerk had already left work at this time, and the supervision had been handed over to Norma.

At this moment, the infrared cameras in various positions on the tall bookshelves, which are like walls towering, all hang down automatically, like saluting servants.

Fingal walked to the end of the library, where the elevator that required authentication privileges opened for him, as if he were the owner of the Ice Cellar, the treasure trove of precious alchemical artifacts underground.

The elevator quickly descended deep underground, and all the alarm systems and defensive weapons that Fingal passed along the way were automatically shut down, and he entered the center of the "ice cellars" without hindrance, the computer room of the college's super artificial intelligence Norma.

He had come to see his girl.

"Hello, Eva, I brought you a present."

The dark computer room is lit up with small red and green lights, a huge ocean of data is being integrated into the superhost, and the college secretary personality "Norma" is rapidly transforming into a war personality "Eva".

A beam of light struck directly overhead, and fluorescent fragments fell leisurely in the light, like flying snowflakes.

The girl's shadow stood in the center of the beam, and compared to the previous silk dress, she "changed" into a pair of black armor, decorated with exquisite golden iris patterns, and the atmosphere of technology, classicism and religion blended with each other, presenting a unique beauty.

"To be honest, I prefer you to that tutu to cosplay......"

Fingal's gaze lingered slightly on the unique bulge on the woman's breastplate for a moment, "Where did you see this power armor?" ”

"Your S-class leader uploaded to the blueprint on the computer, and the note reads 'Courageous Heart Order, Battle Nun Battle Armor.' ”

Eva said, the figure spun briskly in mid-air, and even the long black hair fluttered with it, like a real person:

"How's that, can it be called the idiom called 'heroic and sassy'? The S-class's aesthetic style, while unique, is always on the line. ”

"It's really heroic."

Fingal replied softly, looking at the girl's figure with some stupidity, as if remembering the old days.

Few people know about the existence of the war personality "Eva", and even fewer know how she was born - and Fingal is unfortunately one of them.

After the shadow of Greenland, the girl's incomplete body and brain, together with her words and spirits, are fused into a whole through alchemy and modern science and technology.

It sounds like it's as easy as putting leftovers in the freezer, but the difficulties are known only to those responsible for executing the plan – like Mentor Flammel, the vice principal.

Of course, this was done without the so-called "personal will" or "consent of the family", and when Fingal woke up from a coma and learned the news, his whole mental state collapsed again.

"You said you brought me a gift?" Eva tilted her head.

"Hmm. Lu Mingfei wrote it himself. ”

Fingal took out from behind him a long ribbon of linen woven with unknown words written on it in gold lacquer, and he said very seriously:

"This will definitely protect you from any mess of viruses or demons."

He wanted to put on or wrap the girl as if he were putting a ring on her or a wedding dress; But the girl was just a projection, so he had to hang the tape with the proverbs on it on the computer screen next to him.

"My security system and firewall have been upgraded again recently, unless it is an electronic virus used by a great power for war, there is no virus in the world that can breach my firewall;" Eva said lightly, "Secondly, it's a bit contradictory that you're using religious objects to 'shelter' technological creations, like throwing a handful of coins into the engine to pray for the safe flight of an airplane. ”

"Finally, I have the impression that you are the kind of person who is self-centered and disrespectful of ghosts and gods. Do I remember when we traveled to a famous Chinese temple during the summer vacation of our sophomore year? ”

"Of course, I remember when you asked the old monk in the temple, why did the compassionate Buddha and Bodhisattva ignore the suffering of sentient beings, and if someone slandered him, he should be punished by pulling out his tongue and hell?"

Fingal quickly turned over the memories of the two of them.

Then a sentence popped up next to you: If the Buddha can't cure suffering, can't he cure you? was so angry that the master turned around and left without saying a word. ”

"But this time it's different, Eva," Fingal said quietly, "and I've seen the Vatican come to see the Lord of Humanity he believes in come and save the lives of thousands of demon-tainted believers." ”

"So there are gods in this world?"

"If we were to discuss this kind of philosophical question, we would probably have to discuss it until dawn."

"So you chose to follow Him?" Eva asked softly.

"He does possess the power of light that makes people surrender and follow from the heart, and I may choose to follow this Lord of Humanity rather than the 'new dragons' who will rise up after the end of the Dragon War. But before that......" Fingal's voice grew cold, "I'm going to kill the 'Emperor' with my own hands and watch his body burn to ashes." ”

“…… You must have come here for something other than to give me a gift. ”

After a long silence, Eva spoke softly, shifting the heavy subject away.

"Well," Fingal nodded, the sly smile on his face again, "Captain Lu wants to go to Siberia, but he doesn't know where to go. I'll come over to you to check the relevant top-secret files, or let me go deeper and rummage through the paper records to see if any of the hidden bosses are hiding in Siberia. ”

"Start Search."

The girl closed her eyes, a beep sounded in the dim computer room, the traffic lights kept changing, and the data stream of 0 and 1 flowed like a waterfall into her body of light and shadow.

The process didn't last long, and in less than five seconds, Eva reopened her eyes, a silvery-blue light condensing.

"Screening relevant information, 1 result."

"You only found one with your permission?" Fingal was somewhat surprised.

"The former Soviet icebreaker 'Lenin' is suspected of departing from a port in Siberia on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, sailing for Japanese waters against the orders of the Northern Fleet, and then sank for no reason near Japan's territorial waters."

Eva briefly recounted the message and sent the details and pictures to a nearby computer screen.

"Japan? That's fine, unless the Black King sleeps on that boat, nothing in it can stir up the wind and waves," Fingal disagreed, "but that 'a port in Siberia' is worth considering......"

"I'm sure your head will be more interested in the 'Kuimen Plan' with a clear purpose than in aimless Siberia." Eva said.

"Project Kuimen?"

"This plan was developed by Hilbert. Let. Ange made it himself, but I only had a new folder and a document with only a title in my records, and I couldn't look up the details. ”

"The Headmaster actually went to the battlefield himself? I thought that with Lu Mingfei's sharp weapon, he would concentrate on enjoying his upper-class retirement life. ”

Eva ignored Fingal's ridicule and continued, "The Kuimen Project is supposed to be launched on the Yangtze River in China, and a team of Secrets and Orthodox investigators have found a large number of bronze fragments in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which has led to the possibility of a 'dragon tomb' in the Yangtze River basin. ”

"Currently in charge of the investigation in the Yangtze River basin is Professor Mance Rundstedt, who is targeting Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, a noble primordial species with elemental authority, one of the four mythical kings. The Kuimen Project may have been prepared for Norton. ”

"This kind of thing is not even notified to our head of the regiment? To be honest, can there be anyone in the executive department who can fight better than our regiment commander? The white king was chopped up by him! Fingal was furious.

"It's still in the investigative stage, and both the Secret and Orthodox want to get their first fortune out of the Dragon's Tomb first," Eva said, "and when the dragons actually appear, your S-Class Leader will receive the news and be sent to the battlefield to compose the climactic movement of the Dragonlord War." ”

"So you're trying to get us off early to get a piece of the action?"

"It's up to your regimental commander."

"Well, I'll talk to him when it's daybreak," Fingal scratched his head, "and he's been talking about building a legion on the orders of the Emperor ever since he got off the plane...... Is he going to be a warlord in Kassel? ”
