Norton and Mai Shutoku couldn't help but fell silent when they heard Fingel's confession for the first time.
"That's why the Kassel Executive Department set a new rule that year." Schneider looked at Fingel for a moment and said slowly, "People who have a romantic relationship between men and women cannot perform the same task together."
At that time, Fingel, who had sobered up, learned that five people were missing at the bottom of the sea, ignored Cassel's orders, knocked out the commander at the time, and dived into the bottom of the sea alone as if he was crazy.
Sneaked into the realm of death.
"That's why we were able to confirm the existence of that place." Fingel said to himself, "We have been looking for it for eleven years!"
"Yes." Schneider's tone was complicated.
It was precisely because Fingel disobeyed the orders of the Executive Department that they were able to confirm the existence of the Nibelung.
"We previously thought that the Nibelungen was near the seabed where we had the accident, but after we searched for a long time and found nothing, we collected relevant information about the Greenland waters." Schneider recalled the scene that year,
“While we were collecting information, we discovered something interesting.
The former head of state of the Third Reich seemed to be secretly searching for something.
He sends people to sail in Greenland waters and the Arctic Circle every year. "
"Later we found a former private army lieutenant of the head of the Third Reich who fled to Austria to live in seclusion after the defeat of the Third Reich, and got a painting from him."
"The painting was supposed to be burned with the fall of the Third Reich, but the lieutenant fled to Austria with it."
"The lieutenant said that the painting contained treasures that could make the Third Reich great again, and contained the hope of the Führer."
"But until death, no one has found the treasure."
Schneider's eyes burst out with unprecedented determination, "That painting shows an island, an island covered by giant trees, as if protected by huge membrane wings."
"Some people say that the island is the eternal country in mythology, Avalon where the gods live. The mountains inside are made of gold, and it has the ability to make any wish come true for mortals."
“But when I saw that painting, I knew that was the place I was looking for!”
"That island is the Nibelungen!"
"Whether it's called the Eternal Kingdom or Avalon, it's the place I've been looking for all my life."
Schneider raised his hand and pointed at the silent island, "Part of the Greenland Sea is within the Arctic Circle."
"The place we were looking for back then was totally wrong, because the location of Nibelungen was not in that sea area, so there were no clues at all."
"The true location of the Nibelungen is in the northern part of the Greenland Sea and the Arctic Circle. That's why the Third Reich enters the Arctic Circle every year to search."
"When that dragon embryo woke up and hatched, it needed a lot of food, so it got out of this Nibelung." At this point, Schneider shook his head again, "No, it should have been let out! "
"Combined with the war that Angers recorded in Norma and the war that took place in Siberia, the dragon embryo that awakened in the Greenland Sea eleven years ago is most likely the embryo of the King of Ocean and Water released by Odin."
Norton, who was silent for a while, suddenly spoke.
"I don't think he is the king of oceans and water," Norton said.
Schneider was stunned and looked at Norton, "Who else could it be besides him?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Norton was a little unsure because this was impossible. "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
After all, according to Schneider's description of it, the difference between Niord's identity and Norton's memory is too big.
Moreover, Niord had already eaten his sister Skadi before the war against the Black King thousands of years ago. How could he be injured by a gun even if he had just woken up?
Niord is the master of all elements!
Norton, more inclined to be the Lord of the Sea and Water, awakens earlier than any of them.
The dragon embryo that awakened in the Greenland Sea eleven years ago was not Niord himself.
"There are other dragon kings? Maybe they are the next generation?" Mai Shutoku frowned and said, "After all, Odin has so many subordinates."
"It doesn't matter who it is, what's important is that we have found this island, this legendary eternal country." Schneider said suddenly.
Fingel put down the bottle and stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the tall and huge cypress trees on the island. There was a hint of urgency and confusion in his tone, "Yes, we found it."
But where should he go to find the girl?
Is that girl, those friends from back then, really still here?
The icebreaker anchored and docked.
Mai Shutoku took out the assault rifle modified by the equipment department from the weapon box and threw it to Fingel, "Let's go to the island and have a look."
Last time, she was trapped by Odin before she could take a closer look.
Although Odin is no longer here, it doesn't mean that the island is without danger.
After taking the weapons thrown by Mai Shutoku, Schneider, Norton and his team went to the island.
It's still so quiet here.
Fallen leaves covered the ground, and there was a stone formation every other place. The stone pillars erected on it were wrapped with layers of snake slough.
Everyone stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, making a subtle rustling sound.
Suddenly, Norton, who was walking in front, raised his hand.
Shutoku Mai and the others looked at Norton in confusion.
"Listen," Norton said.
After hearing this, everyone listened carefully.
Obviously no one moved anymore, but the rustling sounds became more and more frequent.
And, getting closer!
Mai Shutoku seemed to have remembered something, and her expression changed.
"Something is coming!" Fingel raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it forward.
Under the tall cypress trees ahead, the wind seemed to suddenly blow.
The fallen leaves on the ground flew up one after another.
Then, a small black shadow crashed into everyone's sight.
That's a girl.
She looked extremely embarrassed, her face was dirty, and she was covered in mud.
Even the long black hair behind her was as messy as weeds.
Her eyes were a bit big, showing fear and fear of the unfamiliar environment around her.
She seemed to be running away from something.
In other words, something was chasing her.
"Why are there children here?" A flash of doubt flashed in Fingel's eyes, but he still did not lower his gun.
The child also saw Norton and others.
When she saw Fingel's gun muzzle, she rushed into the bushes that were taller than a person without any hesitation.
Those sharp branches even scratched her clothes.
Mai Shutoku looked at the girl rushing into the bushes and felt that she looked familiar, so she couldn't help but call out in English, "Snow?"
