Avalon is an island in Celtic mythology. It is very well-known, especially among mythology scholars and otakus.
The reason is because it is related to Arthur, the great king in England's history.
The reason why otakus also know this place is entirely because of an animation called "Fate/staynight" that was broadcast in 2006. The popular character in it is King Arthur - but a female named Artoria. Pendragon.
Of course, that's not the point.
Whether it is Arthur Pendragon or Artoria Pendragon, what they ultimately point to is the king named "Arthur".
According to the bard, Avalon is an island located in the north of the world. It is an island guarded by the power of elves. It is surrounded by mist and swamps, so it can only be reached by rowing a boat.
After King Arthur died in battle, his body was taken to the Isle of Avalon in a small boat, where he could be resurrected.
Avalon is the island of death and the island of eternity. Time does not flow on the island, which represents both death and eternal life.
This myth cannot be verified, but even if there really is an island named Avalon in the world, it should not be in the Arctic Circle - otherwise King Arthur would need to take a ship like the YAAL when setting off from England to Avalon. Specification icebreaker.
But in terms of the construction technology of that era, even if they could study the principle of such a 10,000-ton icebreaker earlier, they would have been ahead of the times.
In other words, they don't need an icebreaker to go to the North Pole, but they need King Arthur to hold the sword in the stone and fire a light cannon - just like in the anime.
But this is not impossible.
Because it is said that King Arthur has red dragon blood, I don’t care why it is a red dragon, but based on this blood, King Arthur should be a hybrid or dragon.
Assuming that he can unlimitedly use a high-temperature word spirit similar to Junyan to melt an ice road from England to the Arctic Circle, it is not impossible to enter Avalon.
"So the Kingdom of God you have been looking for is actually Avalon...or the Island of Death?" Gu Bei followed Vincent's thinking, even though the other person's thinking was a bit crazy.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Vincent shouted, "This is for the great empire! Avalon, the last hope of the empire!"
"Hey, old man, how do you know that island - if it really exists - is within the Arctic Circle?" Fingel, who was beside Gu Bei, asked.
"Hehe!" Vincent's face was sullen and a little nostalgic, "The head of state is..."
Then he told Barabara about Mustache's deeds.
Very good, Gu Bei and Fingel probably understood how Vincent knew the location of Avalon.
Mustache is a very magical guy. He is able to understand the existence of hybrids as a non-hybrid. He even gathered a group of hybrids who work for him and willingly accept his brainwashing and serve him. This is Even if it was placed in the mixed-race world, it would be impossible, unless he had mastered both hands like Gu Bei.
In fact, even if you master both hands, it will be of little use. There is an upper limit to the modification of the soul, and it can repair itself. Unless Mustache corrects people's souls at regular times every day, there is still no way to control those hybrids.
So the most reasonable explanation is that these people are willing to be brainwashed and firmly believe in Mustache's beliefs.
It is hard to say that such a person is not magical.
However, Gu Bei and Fingel were not in the mood to listen to Vincent continue to brag about how awesome his mustache was. What he wanted to know more now was something else.
"Don't talk about things that are irrelevant to the topic. Keep talking about Avalon Island. Why do you want to go there?" Gu Bei interrupted the spell casting.
Tears suddenly filled Vincent's eyes. He stood up and walked to the altar in the alcove next to the painting. After a solemn salute, he picked up the black box and returned to Gu Bei. He slowly opened the lid: "To... resurrect the Führer!"
Gu Bei
: "..."
Fingel: "..."
They had guessed that this reason might be outrageous. Given Vincent's old appearance, even if he said he wanted to regain his youth or even become immortal, Gu Bei and Fingel wouldn't find it too strange, but They never expected that the reason would be so outrageous.
There was a piece of black velvet spread in the black box, and a white skull was placed on the velvet. The NC logo was stamped in silver on the top of the head, and there was a line of small words written next to it.
"Adolf Hitler, 20/04/1889-30/04/1945"
"Skull..." Gu Bei was stunned.
He actually guessed who was in the box, but he thought it was just ashes at most, but he didn't expect Vincent to give him a hard blow.
The skulls were directly removed and donated.
Vincent took a deep breath and said with passion: "Yes! This is the great man of the 20th century, the founder of the Third Reich, the savior of Germany, and the successor of Atlantis..."
Gu Bei interrupted him: "If you don't tell the truth, I will make you a great man."
Vincent: "...Well, this is the skull of the Führer that I saved with all my life! The condensed wisdom and soul of the Führer! I will take it to Avalon to resurrect the Führer!"
As Vincent spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Head of State! It's useless Vincent! We haven't found Avalon in so many years!"

Gu Bei: "..."
Fingel: "..."
To be honest, if the two of them still had some thoughts about Avalon at the beginning, now they just want to sink Vincent into the sea.
Even Fingel, who also wanted to resurrect someone, did not believe this rumor because he was professionally educated and understood that the so-called Kingdom of God - Avalon, should be some undiscovered Nibelung. root.
Can the Nibelungs resurrect the dead?
No, no, the Nibelungs can only resurrect the dead - make them resurrect as dead people.
Deadpool.
Therefore, Fingel did not place his hopes of resurrection on the so-called Dragon King from the beginning, but chose to cooperate with Gu Bei.
Because he knew that Gu Bei did have such ability.
And Vincent, a wild hybrid with no professional education, didn't know what the Nibelungs represented. He could only listen to the words of Mustache in the past, thinking that this was a place where he could be resurrected.
But how can the kingdom of the dead bring the dead back to life?
Moreover, taking a step back, Avalon really has the ability to resurrect people, and the two of them will do their best to prevent Vincent from finding it - because the person he wants to resurrect is not a person, but a person wearing human skin. of devil.
But Vincent obviously didn't know this. He was still giving his impassioned speech, trying to persuade Gu Bei and Fingel to help him explore Avalon on behalf of Cassel.
"The head of state once told me that according to research on Celtic mythology, Avalon Island is only open to the outside world one day a year, which is December 25th every year, so I rented the YAAL and visited this island every year. Cruise the sea, but there are no islands in this sea, only endless ice floes."
"I was about to lose confidence because I was too old and was about to die of old age. I probably wouldn't be able to find Avalon in my lifetime - that's what I originally thought, but it's different now!"
He looked at Gu Bei and Fingel: "As long as you and Cassel are willing to help me, with Cassel's power, we will definitely be able to find the gate to the Kingdom of God! I beg you to help me!"
He spoke sincerely, but Gu Bei and Fingel's eyes became more and more contemptuous, as if they were looking at a piece of unrecyclable garbage.
Of course, Kassel College would not be interested in resurrecting Mustache, and the reason why the college asked them to investigate Vincent was actually a misunderstanding of Vincent's purpose.
The Greenland Sea is one of the areas that the college pays most attention to, because the mysterious incident "Greenland Incident" that caused heavy damage to the college occurred in this sea area.
Professor Schneider claimed that he saw dragons in the depths of the ice sea, high-level dragons, and even a certain dragon king!
Fingel also lost his best friend and lover in that incident, and became a loser who repeated grades indefinitely.
In the following years, no one reported the appearance of the ice sea dragon, but its shadow existed in the hearts of the academy's senior officials.
The YAAL is always cruising near the Greenland Sea, obviously looking for something, and Vincent is a mixed race, so Gu Bei and others were ordered to board the YAAL to investigate, just to see what Vincent was looking for. Is it related to the dragon that caused the Greenland incident?
But the college didn't expect that the truth of the matter was actually a completely confused NC remnant who wanted to resurrect his leader.
No, it may not be that Vincent's mind is unclear.
The logic of his actions is still very clear, and everything revolves around the so-called Avalon.
But the most wrong thing about this Avalon is that it is an island.
There is nothing unusual about an island, but according to the descriptions of those who experienced it personally, Schneider and Fingel, the location of the dragon's Nibelung roots should be underwater, not on an island.
This shows that even if this Avalon really exists, it is most likely not the place Gu Bei and others are looking for.
Of course, this is not necessarily true, because no one has stipulated that the Nibelungs cannot be moved, so this is just a speculation based on common sense and has no factual basis.
But one thing is certain.
If the Avalon Vincent had been looking for did exist, then it must have been a Nibelung.
Gu Bei thought about it, and his eyes fell on the famous painting called "Island of Death". The colors on the painting were strange and distorted, like some kind of indescribable existence.
Gu Bei stared at the man wrapped in white on the screen, but in a daze, he felt that the man looked back at him.
Gu Bei blinked, and the golden eyes in front of his eyes disappeared again.
illusion?
How is it possible that when one's strength reaches Gu Bei's level, there will no longer be illusions.
Does that mean the man in white in the painting really looked back at Gu Bei?
It was even more impossible. Gu Bei was convinced that this was an ordinary painting. At most, it used weird colors to outline an incomprehensible picture.
That feeling just now was...
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and stood up from his seat.
He felt that this conversation could be ended. This trip could not be regarded as fruitless, but the intelligence collected was basically useless for their ice sea mission.
In this way, Vincent's mission is over.
Gu Bei no longer wanted to waste time here listening to Vincent continue to brag. He only knew that it was getting late and he should go back to coax Eliyi to sleep.
"Mr. Vincent, I must remind you that Avalon may exist in the world, but there is no record of human resurrection after death." Gu Bei shattered Vincent's thoughts with the simplest words, " This also means that even if Avalon exists, it cannot resurrect people, not to mention that your head of state is not a human at all now, but a skull."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"In addition, there is one more thing I need to tell you," Gu Bei said with a serious look, "You are also a mixed race, so you should know the greatness of the Dragon King, but even the Dragon King can only keep himself reborn, and the basis of this resurrection is The Dragon King's own soul still exists, but with all due respect, the skull in your hand is just an ordinary skull, without any condensation of will and soul on it."
"Finally, this is my advice to you."
Gu Bei looked at Vincent's expression of collapse bit by bit, and turned his head without mercy: "This world does not belong to anyone, and the dead should be left in silence, no matter whether they were great or not."
he
After that, he walked straight out of the room.
The two people behind him had different expressions.
Vincent seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his already old face became even more gloomy, as if he would die at any time. He was kneeling on the ground holding the silver-hot skull with tears streaming down his face.
And Fingel...
His expression was complicated, but after thinking about it, he took three steps at a time to catch up with Gu Bei.
"Did you say that last thing to me?" Fingel asked.
Is he asking a question?
No, he had the answer in his own mind.
Gu Bei glanced at him and replied calmly: "I'm just advising the stubborn people."
Is he answering?
No, he was asking Fingall.
Are you a stubborn person?
Is it yourself?
The two strolled down the elevator and left the cabin under the admiring eyes of Lelbakko.
Because he wanted to coax Eliyi to sleep, Gu Bei said goodbye to Fingel and went to the rest cabin.
Fingel walked alone down the corridor as people passed him on either side.
In his ears he could hear the sound of slot machines spitting out coins, the sound of chips clattering, the sound of the bartender shaking ice cubes, and the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
He walked to the casino without knowing it.
The gamblers here are still talking excitedly about the gamble of the century.
Fingel looked at them and felt that he was actually the same kind as them.
At this moment, there was no difference between humans and hybrids between him and the group of gamblers.
They are all gamblers.
