Sasha Relbako's words have apparently begun to touch the dangerous nerves of these dragon slayers, and the secrets of the dragons must not be allowed to be revealed, which is written into the party rules and the Abrahamic blood pact. If it had been a man who had been sitting in front of him, he would have drawn his gun and pointed it at the major's head and began to ask him what he knew.

Schneider is different, he is iron-fisted and cold, but he is by no means irritable, he does not react to Sasha's words, he just continues to ask questions.

"What do you know about the Leviathan?"

The Russian narrowed his eyes, his face showed a businessman's cunning, and he rubbed his hands: "This is a piece of information, and I think it has some value to you." He shook his head, "When I was still in Alpha, a commander told me that the price of the intelligence news that led to each of our operations was even more than the combined cost of our entire team, which was. He slammed the table.

The Russian man sitting across from him was afraid, and Schneider calmly judged that Sasha Ryrbako had developed a fear of the future of this journey and their highly mysterious and militarized patrons, and he tried to bring up his previous experience of serving in the special forces to increase his courage, and what was the purpose of increasing courage? Just asking them for a hefty amount of money?

"How much do you want?" He asked lightly.

Relbacco said slowly, "Five million dollars." ”

Before Schneider nodded, Elizabeth, who was sitting next to her, gently took out a checkbook from the lady's bag she was carrying, tore out one and filled it with the corresponding numbers and beautiful signatures, and threw it on the table casually with her slender fingers holding the check: "You can use this paper to withdraw five million dollars in a Swiss bank in any country, of course, you can also fill in a few more zeros at the back, but you don't necessarily have the life to spend it, major." ”

Sasha Relbacco looked at the others in the captain's room with a verifying eye, he had long guessed that this girl with noble manners was from a wealthy family, but Hao was not such a hero, just now the girl had a threat in her words, but aside from the meaning of the threat, isn't it --- even if he writes a few more zeros, can he bring it up?

The man in the iron mask nodded: "The lives of our ship are not as valuable as this lady's. ”

Major Relbacco was a little hesitant, obviously the girl's generosity and decisiveness had surprised him, but he nevertheless said: "I still have an answer to a question." ”

"Tell me about it."

He exhaled deeply and asked:

"Does this ice storm have anything to do with the purpose of your here?"

"You don't have to tell me your purpose, I'm not going to know more, you just need to nod or shake your head."

Schneider looked to the side, his eyes unexpectedly collided with the girl of Laurent, after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly reached a consensus--- asking for the amount was just a cover for the question, the major probably didn't intend to ask for money from the beginning, he wanted to mix this real question with enough weight in the money transaction to make it less abrupt, but he miscalculated the financial resources of the secret party, money has never carried much weight in the eyes of these people.

Relbacco received only an ambiguous answer: "There is a high probability that there is a relationship, but we can't be sure either." ”

He didn't continue to dwell on this, but gave information cheerfully, he knew how to stop in moderation, and many times this could help him live well.

"There are many legends about the Leviathan at sea, but we generally only think of them as after-drinking pleasure, but our former captain was a real mystic, and he studied these things very well, and once he told me about the Leviathan, and according to him it was an extremely large white sperm whale, which was the first thing that came to my mind when you said you were going to whaling with the YAMAL."

The tense nerves of the half-bloods relaxed a little, and this statement didn't sound like much to do with dragons, and the possibility of leaks was minimized.

"Leviathan has appeared in many myths, but it is the Inuit of the Arctic who know him best, they have more time than anyone else in the world to understand these Arctic monsters, these people say that Leviathan is the emperor of whales, hibernates for a long time, only comes out to hunt once in decades, cruising around the Arctic to hunt, and many big fish will leave the Arctic Circle at this time to take refuge."

"It sounds like a fairy tale for the Inuit to scare their children." "Maybe it's not unusual that they'll use the phrase 'Leviathan will come to eat you if you don't sleep' when they're putting their children to bed in the igloo," Professor Mance said. ”

Relbacco also seemed to feel that what he said was not reliable, but he still put the check in his pocket and shrugged his shoulders: "But my former boss doesn't think so, he said that Leviathan has magical abilities and can sustain his youth by sucking the blood of other whales, I don't think there is any Leviathan at all, or Leviathan is just a pronoun, he is the king of all whales in the Arctic Circle, and he will always be the biggest one in the change of generations." ”

Professor Mance nodded: "This does sound more reasonable, cetaceans are the most socialized of all animals, humans have very little exploration of the sea, and the level of knowledge about this large fish is similarly limited, and we don't know if they really have such a social status distinction as kings." ”

Rairbacho breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the message he had given was not as useless as he had imagined, at least the girl had no intention of recovering the check, and Schneider and Mance were also relieved that their purpose for the Arctic dragon hunt had not been discovered, and that the major would still work for them.

"The time is coming."

Elizabeth opened her pale silver pocket watch and walked out of the captain's room, as if preparing to return to her room for the shock that might come.

The target was about to make contact with the ship, the executive department failed to detect the information, and most of the ship's facilities were paralyzed, so they had no means to deal with the target, and all they could do now was to cover the water and earth.

None of the others left, they used the equipment they had prepared, almost the entire ship had prepared this fixed equipment, and the time left for them when EVA was broadcast was more than enough for the vigorous executive department.

Raybacho, who was nervously preparing for the impact, seemed to hear the sound of "rumble", with a wonderful melody, it seemed to be some kind of song, he shook his head fiercely, but the voice was not driven out, he understood that it was not a hallucination, but a real song! It's a whale song!

The whale's song is a kind of infrasound, and normal people can't hear this kind of sound that is too low frequency, but he is different, he is born with a hearing disability, but human technology gives him a voice, and the range of cochlear implants is wider than that of normal cochlea.

Relbacco felt that the world was gradually changing into something he couldn't understand, dozens of days ago he was drunk and drunk on the smell of wine and gold, and now he was trapped in an ice storm with the Yamal and a group of weird black trench coats listening to the whales sing.

He whispered at Schneider, "I heard the whale song!" I guessed right, those things are whales under the ice, and if you're really here to hunt the whale king, that's his return gift!"

Schneider's face was gloomy, if it was an ordinary whale, hitting this giant ship with flesh and blood was just a mayfly shaking a tree, but if Leviathan was really a dragon king, was it a subspecies of dragon's blood that sang the whale song? Do these brutes have other means?

They heard a "boom" impact, but they didn't feel it happening while on the boat.

The sound of "boom" is getting louder and louder, like the thunder of divine punishment from the gods, which is terrifying.

Without saying a word, Mance unfastened the fixture, and if the impact did occur, he still had the protection of the spirit, and he walked to the porthole of the captain's room and looked out, his eyes widening in surprise.

The sound of those collisions came from the ice, and the things under the ice were crashing wildly against the ice, and the song in Relbacho's ears grew stronger, full of hatred and grief!

With a violent breaking sound, a blue-black ridge suddenly broke out from the snow-white ice, and a giant whale that was so big that it broke through the common sense of biology came out of the ice, this is the "whale jump", its huge body with scales jumped out from under the ice, crossed an arc in the air and slammed into the ice, and a huge wail appeared in Relbacco's ears at the same time!

Mance watched one after another giant whales of suspected dragon's blood subspecies leap out of the ice around the YAMAL, slamming into the ice with a will to die and a scream, and the creature felt like he was in the deepest dream of the creatures.
