Is that what he meant to express?
Is it questionable to publicly reveal such a dangerous and forbidden technology? Keep in mind that Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang in the group are both minors.
[Boss]: "Don't worry, Fingel, I'm sharing this so you can learn from it as a trump card."
[Elder]: "As for using this technology to embark on the path to godhood and continuously refine the bloodline within the body, as long as it is properly controlled, I believe it will not completely get out of control."
Cao Han fully anticipated Fingel's concerns and offered his own explanation.
It should be noted that those who are chosen by him and recruited into the guild are all elites among elites, and even if they use Bloodlust, they will not become monsters controlled by the reverse of power.
"Bloodline Stability (Lv1): Slightly increases the bloodline stability of guild members."
Moreover, the guild buff provides additional stability.
Since Cao Han, as the leader, had said so, Fingel could only silently agree. However, as the eldest brother in the group, he still couldn't help but worry.
[Mr. KFC]: "Anyway, I advise everyone not to try this before you've reached your skill ceiling!"
This is the last piece of advice I can give as a senior mixed-race individual.
[Mr. KFC]: "Boss, where are you? When are you coming back to school? I miss you while you're gone~"
Behind his seemingly playful and joking words lies Fingel, sitting in front of his computer with a serious and focused expression, a far cry from his usual颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, decadence, or dejection) image.
The vice-principal, the Night Watchman, told him that if the Nibelungen Project went smoothly, his strength would break through the shackles from A-rank to S-rank, and his power would increase significantly.
However, no one can guarantee that the increased strength will be enough to face Leviathan, the king of the ocean and water.
That's in the farthest part of the Earth, in the endless deep sea beneath the polar ice.
The power of the Word of Power: Bronze Throne is not as effective in the deep sea.
In Fingel's view, Cao Han was an indispensable and most important part of his plan.
Tracking Leviathan's location using sounds similar to whale calls is a fleeting opportunity; no one can guarantee that the Dragon King will still be in that area after a while.
[Boss]: "On the way to France, I just got rid of two uninvited guests."
[Eldest]: "The time to return to school... is still unclear."
Although Cao Han hadn't spent much time with Finger, he believed he understood Finger's personality quite well.
Don't be fooled by Fingel's seemingly shameless and brazen demeanor; it's all a deliberate act of pretense.
Only Cao Han, who was equally proud, could clearly sense Fingel's pride that came from the bottom of his heart.
Even his shameless behavior depends on the person; he will only act that way towards those whom Fingel approves of.
Knowing Fingel's personality, Cao Han was even more certain that there must be a reason why the other party suddenly asked about his whereabouts, and that the "reason" must be the kind that couldn't be revealed in the group chat.
Having understood everything, Cao Han made a phone call without saying a word.
"Fingal."
"Brother Cao, your voice is still so beautiful."
"Is there something important that you need my help with?" Cao Han cut straight to the point. "I'm not going to let you call me 'boss' for nothing!"
"..."
He could clearly sense the hesitation on the other end of the phone. After a brief pause, he continued softly, "Boss, have you heard of the 'Greenland Sea incident'?"
"Uh... I've heard about it, but I don't know the specifics."
Cao Han was not lying; even though he had read the original novel, he only knew the tip of the iceberg of the whole incident.
The exact identity of the "crown prince" who instigated the incident remains a mystery.
Some speculate it's Odin orchestrating events across the globe; others suspect it's Pompeii Gattuso, the current head of the Gattuso family, whose behavior throughout has been highly unusual; still others speculate it's the work of the little devil Lu Mingze...
But regardless of the speculation, there is no conclusive evidence.
"At that time, a person with the ID 'Prince' posted an audio recording made in Greenland, which sounded like the heartbeat of a dragon. The academy immediately organized outstanding specialists to go to the Greenland waters. The specialists went down in a diving bell, and Professor Schneider directed the operation."
The underwater team's last communication was, "We've spotted a door and are preparing to enter..."
Chapter 143 The Key to the Mysterious Door
He was merely recounting what had happened; Fingel's hoarse voice was filled with endless sorrow and despair.
"The entire Greenland ice sea incident ended in complete failure with only one and a half survivors. Professor Schneider was that half survivor, and he would have died at any moment without the breathing and life support device."
And the only one who survived...
“That person, isn’t that you, Fingel?” Cao Han said seriously.
“That’s right.” Fingel readily admitted, but what he didn’t say aloud was that the one who survived was actually half Fingel and half Eva combined.
Ironically, Fingel eventually regained consciousness unharmed, while his lover "Eva" was left to slumber in the underground ice cellar of Kassel College.
Cao Han knew that Fingel would not bring up the Greenland ice sea incident rashly, and what he was about to say would inevitably be related to it.
Could it be... that the King of the Ocean and Water has appeared?
This is the only plausible guess!
"Just yesterday, a monitoring station in the Arctic detected a whale call that was almost identical to the one from back then. I'm sure it must have appeared!"
The day after tomorrow is the day the monitoring station will upload the monitoring data, at that time...
Although Fingel didn't finish his sentence, it was enough for Cao Han to understand what he was trying to say.
That is to say, by the day after tomorrow, the news that Leviathan, the king of the ocean and water, has reappeared will spread throughout the entire Kassel College.
Given the Secret Party's motto of "slaughtering all dragons," they will certainly devise an action plan similar to the Ice Sea Project of yesteryear to carry out the extermination.
Cao Han recalled the current whereabouts of the four monarchical twins of power and authority from the original work.
The Bronze and Fire Lords should be the easiest, as the reincarnation of Norton, the symbol of power, Ronald Tang, probably hasn't awakened his memories as the Dragon King yet.
Constantine, the symbol of power, has his urn in the Bronze City, guarded by the dragon Samson, awaiting his complete rebirth.
Cao Han strongly suspects that if he kills an ancient dragon embryo, Tongzi will not admit that it is the first generation of the four monarchs.
Odin, the king of the sky and winds, is Cao Han's old rival.
He has seemingly acquired complete power and authority, including the power of time. He is a true master of manipulation, using various aliases to stir up trouble all over the world.
Cao Han did not want to confront Odin until he was absolutely certain of victory.
There's not much to say about the King of Earth and Mountains. Xia Mi and Chu Zihang were a couple that Cao Han spearheaded, while his goofy younger brother Fenrir was a complete shut-in.
Cao Han doesn't possess the ability to freely enter and exit various Nibelungen regions like Hela, so he naturally can't make any plans.
The Black Serpent, the King of Ocean and Water, who was part of the Force faction, died back in Swan Harbor. I reckon his body is still in the hands of the little devil Lu Mingze.
It's hard to say whether there's still a chance for them to regenerate from their cocoons.
Pick the persimmons that are soft!
After careful consideration, Cao Han concluded that Leviathan was indeed a suitable target to eliminate.
The deep-sea environment was no obstacle for him; he was unaffected at all when he fought the White King at a depth of over 8,000 meters.
Thinking of this, Cao Han couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him: "Even if the entity detected by the Arctic monitoring station is the Leviathan you mentioned, how can you, Finger, guarantee that we will be able to catch it?"
I completely understand what you're trying to say, and I don't mind at all!
But I don't want to wander around in the Arctic ice and snow like a blind fly, trying my luck. Do you understand what I mean?
to be honest!
Cao Han wouldn't mind helping Fingel and his mentor von Schneider avenge what happened years ago, provided that they could locate Leviathan.
One minute, two minutes... a long silence followed.
Fingel was torn between his inner conflict and his own conscience, but ultimately his trust in Cao Han prevailed, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Back then, during our planned dive, we accidentally entered Avalon, the 'land of the gods' in the Nibelungs, and discovered a door there after some exploration."
“Avalon, the ‘Land of the Gods’.” Cao Han was slightly taken aback.
and many more!
Why does this name sound so much like that Nibelungen that was thoroughly messed up by itself?
wrong!
If it really is Odin's Avalon, Cao Han is quite certain that there is no door there.
"So how did you finally escape from the Nibelungs?"
“It’s Eva!” Every time he said that name, it was a painful blow to Fingel. “She was the most talented alchemist in the history of Kassel College, and a student of Vice Principal Nicholas Flamel.”
Eva said that the essence of Nibelungen is a stable little world composed of a super-large alchemical array.
She successfully deciphered the door and solemnly handed me the 'key.' Then, when I woke up again, I was in the school infirmary a week later.
What Fingel didn't say was...
Back then, the original plan was for him to stay behind and cover the retreat, while Eva would decipher the code, open the door, and then leave to bring the message back to the school.
But in the end, she broke her promise!
Hearing this, Cao Han roughly deduced why he hadn't seen the door when he was in Avalon.
Without the key, the door cannot be opened, and thus loses its purpose.
"I understand!"
"So you have the key to the door to the Nibelungs, but Fingel, how can you be sure that Leviathan will definitely come to steal the key?"
Others might not know, but how could Cao Han not know?
The master of Avalon is Odin, the king of the sky and wind, not Leviathan, the king of the sea and water. So what is the point of Leviathan coming to steal the key?
Or is Leviathan planning to steal the key and enter Nibelungen to fight Odin?
That doesn't make sense!
"No, you've misunderstood, boss." Fingel knew immediately that Cao Han had misunderstood when he asked that question.
Where did I misunderstand?
"We stumbled into Avalon first, and then discovered that door. According to the information Eva deciphered from that door, the place behind it leads to a place called 'Land of Rising and Setting Sun,' which I think can be interpreted as the place of beginning and end!"
