Chen Mo gently pushed open the door of the academy library, the heaviness of wisdom and time made everything here look solemn, the black-covered books filled the mahogany bookshelves, although the secret party would not put the research and precious secrets in the dark here, but the "basic" knowledge obtained over the past thousand years alone was enough to show the foundation of this behemoth.

But he didn't come here today to nibble on books, not to mention that the useful things in this library had already been gnawed away by his greedy brain.

Tonight's library slept in the dark, and on graduation night, parties were going on all over the campus, and even many professors attended, and although the executive department did not slack off on the security of the college's perimeter, it was clear that no one would be looking here.

Chen Mo wandered among the bookshelves, the darkness that shrouded him didn't seem to affect him at all, and according to the incomparably clear map of the campus in his mind, he walked towards a red-marked underground passage, which was one of the paths leading to the ice cellar.

The ice cellar can be regarded as a treasure trove of the secret party, top-secret information, valuable alchemy items, living biological data, the reason why Chen Mo stayed in Kassel for three years is not only to get enough information and consolidate the foundation of alchemy, but also to make a fortune in the rich family of the secret party.

He pulled out the graduation gift that the Night's Watch had given him, pulled out a black card with no markings from the thick pages, and swiped it in the access card slot.

As the sound of "dripping" passed, the sound of heavy machinery moving continued to come, and the twelve wrist-thick deadbolts were retracted one by one, and the metal door with a thickness of twenty centimeters slowly opened, like a giant beast retracting its fangs and opening its big mouth of the black hole.

Fifty meters underground in the library is Norma's central host control room. It is strange that there is a scruffy man in such a heavy place, who sits in a computer chair without a figure, his hands on his head, and his dark brown eyes are fixed on the beam projection in front of him.

You can't catch it with light, but you always want to touch it with a beauty like light.

The soft light shone on his face, a face that would be young and handsome in any case, but it was covered with misfitted stubble.

The beam projected a girl, with long black hair floating in the air, a delicate face that always made her look unreal, wearing a plain white dress, and her bare shoulders were white and dazzling.

The man gently shook the girl's hand, so the girl hid the petite hand in the man's wide palm, the girl's hands were pale and transparent, as if she could see the small blood vessels below, the man's hand was wide and powerful, full of thick calluses brought by clenching the weapon.

Just as the living Orpheus could not look back at his wife, who was still in Hades, the man could no longer hold his girl's hand.

The girl floating in the air suddenly noticed something, and said to the man in front of her: "Senior brother got the teacher's black card, he should be planning to go from the library to the ice cellar." ”

"That would have to go through the central control room."

"The teacher's black card is one of the highest-level privilege cards, and now his authority allows me to treat him as my own, and the defense system of Yongdao has been completely shut down." The girl spread her hands and looked weak, and turned her head to the man in the computer chair and grimaced.

"However, you can use the super command to turn off the access of the black card holder, so that the defense system will be reopened, and maybe the senior brother will be scorched by hundreds of thousands of volts of voltage on the way."

The man shivered at Eva's grimace, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Hell, don't be so ruthless, okay?" ”

Eva smiled at the man's helpless appearance, and her hands of light and shadow touched the man's face, "But don't you want to see him?" ”

"yes, I don't want to see him." The man sighed faintly, the lazy expression on his face suddenly became hard, and there was cold anger hidden in his eyes: "There was a problem with that operation three years ago, and it was definitely not an accident that we had an accident, he already knew it." ”

"He has been trying to prevent us from going to Greenland for a mission since the emergency order from the Enforcement Department, I checked Norma's log, and he even hacked into the system that was not perfect at the time to try to erase the two of us from the mission list, but the files related to the mission were quickly blocked by the highest authority after being reconstructed."

"We ended up in that sea of ice."

The man was silent for a long time, then clenched his fist and released it again, "He still refused to admit what he knew, and he didn't even say a word about it before and after the whole thing." ”

Eva just looked at him with a smile and nodded from time to time, like a mother looking at her child dotingly, with affirmation in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, I know I'm just angry with him." The man pulled out his hands and put them behind his head, "You're like my mother, every time you look at me like this, I can't help but think about what I've done wrong." The man's expression was full of helplessness, "Don't scare me, you go and take him to the ice cellar, I'll go to Professor Guderian for a drink or two, now I'm repeating a grade, his tenured professor is probably gone, I have to comfort him." ”

Eva watched as the reluctant man slipped around a pile of servers and processors, finding his way to the ice cellar through the black pipes, intending to make his way back to Valhalla, where his stout body shuttled like a stupid dog. She laughed heartily.

Chen Mo walked through the black corridor and saw the scene at the end, the huge space was covered with black pipelines and piles of black metal boxes, and the blade processors were spliced together to provide computing power for the central host on which the academy depended, and with the flashing of the indicator light, a huge amount of data was constantly swallowed and processed by this huge system, and then exported to all parts of the world.

Rather than the pretty girl in a long dress in front of him, the scruffy scientist in a white coat with curly gray hair and a tongue sticking out is probably matched by this place.

"Long time no see." Chen Mo spit out a sentence with difficulty.

"Long time no see, senior brother!" The girl in the light and shadow said hello happily.

"Can you ask a question?"

"Senior brother, just ask."

Chen Mo's voice became indifferent, he looked down at the hard ground made of alloy, and asked, "Is it Norma Lawnes?" ”

"No, I'm Eva."

"Then I'm done." The black-haired young man paused, skipped the girl who was originally going to act as a guide, and followed the map engraved in his mind to the bottom of the half-decayed world tree, the place where fate was weaved.

Meanwhile.

Patsy Gattuso trekked through the "garden" beneath Kassel (a repository of species genes that mimics ecology), with organic dirt stained on his expensive leather shoes. Today he attended the graduation ceremony as the Gattuso family, but his real task was to revise a document.

He was the acting agent of the honorable school director, and he held a white card with great authority, but at the moment he was like a thief, a thief wearing a silver-gray scarf and a light gray formal suit, carefully dodging the cameras hidden in the green leaves, grass, and dirt.

It was a very important document, concerning Gattuso's future position on the school board, for which he could not use the White Card to enter directly, the White Card's visit would leave a record on Norma, and Frost needed him to go deep into one of the bottom of the Ice Cellar, Jotunheim, the second root of the World Tree, where there was the Mimir Spring, a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.

The Secret Party is an ancient organization, and many things cannot be recorded on the Internet or placed in the library for students to study, and those secrets are all stored in one of the roots of this half-decayed world tree, the most secret archive of this secret party, the so-called "Jotunheim".

Frost had already checked all recent applications to visit Jotunheim in the name of the Monitor, and the blank records allowed Patsi Gattuso to infiltrate without any interference from others, because even the holder of the Black Card needed to make an appointment before entering Jotunheim, otherwise he would face a great realm carefully constructed by the best alchemists in the world.

Chen Mo pushed open the gate at the beginning of the Yongdao, a huge network of Yongdao known as the "Three Goddesses of Fate", and at the beginning of countless Yongdao, there was a place called "Ould", which connected Jotunheim.

In Norse mythology, the three sisters of fate are the gods who weave the fate of all things in the world, and they stay by the first root of the World Tree all year round, where Ould weaves the lifeline, Beludindi pulls the lifeline, and Sykodi cuts the lifeline, so Ould represents the past of everything.

The countless bronze rattan tree patterns on the ground lit up with a faint light at the moment the door was pushed open, so the huge void behind the door was illuminated, and the dense steel shelves were brand-new manuscripts, and the steel that made up these bookshelves were all killed substances, and they were covered with strange pattern symbols, which were a combination of alchemy runes and dragon scripts, which participated in the construction of the field of rattan trees on the soles of their feet, and also ensured that the manuscripts in them would not rot for thousands of years through a special elemental cycle.

As the light rose, the entire alchemy field slowly activated, Chen Mo didn't know the role of this huge alchemy field, it was so big that even if Chen Mo fully understood the meaning of the pattern at his feet, he couldn't get the overall cognition, and the beautiful vision of Yiye Zhiqiu was completely untenable in such a thing as alchemy.

As far as Chen Mo knew, the alchemy matrix of this scale was relatively well-known in history, such as the topography of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the mountains and rivers of mercury, and its danger level could be seen from the number of alchemists who died in the Eastern Orthodox to inspect the Qin Tomb.

The Night's Watch gave him a black card to pass through, but had no intention of turning off the alchemy matrix for him.

This is the final assessment of the student that the crazy Flamel gave his teacher, by getting the information he wants, escaping from Kassel, and failing to die here, the perfect elemental cycle in the alchemy realm will quickly decompose his corpse and become a matrix-driven element. No one will find out.

The warmth of teachers and students, the madness of alchemists' indifference to life.

Human nature and dragon nature, completely different things coexist.

That's what a half-breed is.
