Chapter 39: Come Back Alive
Arctic Circle, Greenland Ice Sheet.
Covering about 84.7% of Greenland, the largest ice mass in the northern hemisphere, Greenland's inhabitants are not only on land, but also on ice that does not melt all year round, and if this huge ice body melts, it will raise the world's sea level by seven meters.
The sun almost never sets in Greenland in the middle of summer, and even this island near the far north is alive and well. The inhabited cities, the warm ocean currents, these can bring vitality to the cold land here, people come here every summer to visit, of course, in the summer there are no auroras, but the cold of the out-of-season, whales out to sea, "dog sledding" paradise, the purest blue in the world, these are excellent attractions for tourists.
But these Fingal ice fields have nothing to do with this time, the bright sun and the white ice sheet reflect distorted light and shadow, which seems to give people an illusion, and there seem to be two black dots on the blue and white horizon in the distance that are constantly getting bigger.
Fingal blinked twice, then turned to look behind him, the executive commissioner in warm gear and Laurent's subordinates were counting the remains, they quickly sorted out the list of relict hybrids according to the list left in the tent, and with Eva's inquiry, Eva would also find out their information according to these lists, which would become a reference for exploration.
No one knows what the half-bloods that entered the ruins will look like in front of them again, dying waiting for search and rescue? Or do you have claws and fangs and become enemies as Deadpool? Or, like in that weird video, retaining the appearance of a human being but being robbed of his mind by the devil??
The empty and monotonous environment often makes visitors feel a sense of inner tranquility, but Fingal, who has been here twice and has a heavy task on his back each time, finds it uncomfortable.
He looked at the horizon in the distance again, and the seemingly distant black dot did not disappear, but grew larger and larger.
Fingal, wearing sunglasses, knew that he did not suffer from any strange snow blindness caused by snow and sun, nor did he hallucinate.
An extremely complicated expression appeared on his face, and he didn't know how to face the upcoming senior brother for a while, just stood quietly above the paleness, watching the black dots continue to expand.
The speed of the polar sled is not bad, and the driver is not a few huskies born in the north, but a modified engine equipped with aviation fuel, and the equipment department uses high fuel consumption and fuel quality to make the engine operate in such an environment, which also makes Chen Mo and the head of the Yuan family who followed him quickly rush to the scene of the ruins.
Flipping down the sleigh, Chen Mo immediately found the person who should not have appeared on the list of the executive department.
Fingal once thought he knew this brother very well, obsessed with alchemical ancient books and dragon civilization, and had some pedantic shadows at a young age, soaking in the library and Tutor Flammel's bell tower all day, probably due to the influence of the Night's Watch seemed a little frivolous and cynical, Fingal has always been well-informed, and he once found that there are many female heirs of the small dragon blood family in the academy who have had a relationship with this senior brother, and the similarity of these girls is that they have a long family history and there are ancient books that have been handed down.
He felt that this was probably evidence of Chen Mo's obsession with alchemy.
However, for this reason, Fingal was still a little hostile to this titular senior brother for a while, after all, Eva had known this fellow senior who was not low in alchemy for a long time, and even the Flmel mentor had accepted her through his introduction. (The real reason is that the night watchman solemnly stated that he did not accept male disciples, and then Chen Mo found EVA who had just entered the school and gave EVA the wrong information before letting the girl meet with Flamel, and finally asked the night watchman to pinch his nose and recognize Chen Mo's identity as a disciple.) )
Unprovoked concern is always suspicious, but he gradually discovers that after this senior brought his little girlfriend to Flamel's door, he really didn't make any further moves, except for alchemy academic exchanges, and even had the intention of actively staying away.
Fingal von Frings, who considered himself a good man, was naturally a little embarrassed by his narrow-mindedness, so he insisted on inviting him to the student council's ball, but the results were not good, and it was not until the night watchman invited a drink at the bell tower that their relationship gradually improved.
And then .......
"Come back to your senses." Suddenly, the protagonist of the memory has come to the front, and it was a familiar face, but Fingal felt a little strange.
Chen Mo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the tall man, his height was not comparable to this good horse, his hand was raised very high, and he quickly came back to his senses.
"Why come?"
"Big brother, I'm afraid you asked once in front of Eva, don't ask again, I'm here today, and you can't drive it away."
Obviously, Chen Mo didn't intend to put this problem so simply.
Fingal cried with a sad face, but the words he said were shockingly cool: "You are my buddy, who am I not helping you?" The headmaster told me everything, you are not a troublemaker, you would have run away if you had the chance, alas, if it weren't for Eva, I would have wanted to go to Cuba to smoke cigars right now. There must be something strange about this ruin, this place is so close to the place where we had an accident, I can't just look at you and throw it in this hellish place. ”
Chen Mo was silent for a long time after listening to his words, and suddenly asked, "Do you want revenge?" ”
Fingal's eyes suddenly burned with flames, and the light of the fire penetrated through his eyes, as if it could ignite the surrounding ice and snow, Chen Mo had seen such a light in the eyes of the old man of the principal, the fire of revenge.
Fingal's voice was no longer awkward: "It's the prince or the ancient dragon." ”
"I don't know, I am back on the ship now, the reason why the professor asked the executive department to buy the icebreaker that is one in a million, is not that the money invested by Gattuso has nowhere to spend, but that the extremely cold ancient dragon has the possibility of reappearing, and I am not sure what is in the ruins, but it is definitely not just a simple sub-species, I don't know why the prince contacted the academy in the first place, but there must be a secret hidden in this ruin, maybe he will reappear, only by staying on the ship can you have the opportunity to get the news as soon as possible."
Fingal kept his head down as he listened, and when he finished speaking, he raised it again, "I'm not going back, it's true that revenge is the sooner the better, but if the dragon really comes, the professor will definitely dismantle him, as for the 'prince'." He took a deep breath: "If he really dares to contact the academy again, when I come out from here, I can also dig out his genealogy, and then kill him with my own hands." ”
"If that dragon does come, it will feel much better to take revenge with your own hands than if you were waiting for news from Professor Schneider under the ruins."
Fingal scratched his head and laughed like a second child: "If you can take revenge, if something happens to you in this hellish place, my revenge will soon be more?" Eva and the old man are going to kill me, so let's get back from under the ruins and let those damn things die. ”
"Okay, come back alive, don't die."
"Well, if you come back alive, you won't be able to die."
On the polar ice field, two fists collided.
