Drizzle fell in the mountains, and the pine breeze was like an ocean tide. There was a blazing firelight in the hut, and the sound of hammers striking steel became clearer and longer. Yuan Zhisheng opened the door, and an old man in white linen was forging a knife blank by the stove. Fire splattered everywhere.
"I thought you would be waiting for me in the office. People from the headquarters are coming. Do you still have the time to come to the knife shop in the mountains to make knives?" Yuan Zhisheng took off his clothes and hung them by the stove to bake.
"The ancient Chinese said that a mountain collapses in front but its color remains unchanged, and an elk rises to the left but does not blink. The swordsman Miyamoto Musashi also said something similar. When facing the enemy, you should keep yourself. If you are moved by the enemy's rhythm, You will expose your own flaws." The old man inserted the blade into the charcoal fire again, "What's more, this time Kassel College just said that their dragon-slaying hero was just here for a trip, not for a surprise inspection. .”
"Do you really believe what the headquarters said?" Yuan Zhisheng considered his words and then asked the old man.
"How is this possible? That old guy in Angers definitely wouldn't send his dragon-slaying hero to Japan on purpose. He said it was for tourism or something. It was just a joke." The old man said disdainfully, "He just looks a little bit He's just Lao Hutu, but he actually has more on his mind than anyone else."
"And they also specifically informed us not to use Kaguya for assistance. It's obvious that they don't want us to get involved in this matter. Especially since this team is full of elites from Cassel Academy, and there are even some who were killed not long ago. Lu Mingfei, the dragon-slaying hero who lost the Lord of Earth and Fire."
"Angers is probably planning to make a big move this time. They didn't even choose to let us intervene even for assistance and supervision."
Yuan Zhisheng was surprised: "This headquarters has not interfered with our affairs for decades, so why did it reach out to Japan this time?"
"I'm not very sure either." The old man shook his head gently, looking at the jumping fire in front of him, his expression became extremely serious: "According to my speculation, the reason why this place deserves the attention of Kassel College... There are only things related to dragons."
"Is it possible that the speculation that there are dragon embryos in the Japanese Trench has been known to Kassel College?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned, "But isn't this just a guess? Because no one knows clearly about the trench. Is the thing inside actually a dragon embryo? And so far, this news doesn’t seem to have been released. How did Cassel College know this news?”
"The reason 'there may be dragon embryos in the Japanese trench' is indeed enough for Angers to reach out to Japan. We cannot refuse unless we can prove that the things in the trench are not dragon embryos." The old man sighed, "Now even we have no way of knowing what is in that trench, and we cannot act rashly for the time being."
"After all, no one knows what the purpose of this tour group is. If we do something without authorization, and then Kassel infers something deeper through our actions, then it would be like shooting a stone to hit ourselves." My feet are broken.”
"Is it possible that we can only passively watch the actions of Kassel College now?" Yuan Zhisheng also found this matter very difficult.
Especially at this critical moment, the sudden arrival of this tourist group from Kassel really broke their original plan.
"If they really want to sneak into the trench to investigate... they will definitely find the Divine Burial Hall!" Yuan Zhisheng said, "We must find a way to stop them!"
"No one can stop what Angers has decided to do. This man's shadow has been hanging over us for decades, and today we finally can no longer bear his pressure."
"Now we don't even know what this man wants to do. The purpose of the tour group is complicated and confusing. Maybe it just wants to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. We are too wanton, or they..."
The old man stared at the fire, his eyes shining brightly, "I really want to reach out to the remains of God... I want to get the power of God..."
"this……"
Yuan Zhisheng was speechless for a while.
This matter can be small or big. No one can figure out the boundaries, and you may step into a huge trap if you are not careful.
The old man continued: "Although Angers is not that kind of person, he is not interested in the power of gods. In his view, all the guys who claim to be gods are dragons and are his enemies."
"Ange is a stubborn old man, but the other secret party members are not. Each of them has inherited the greed of the black dragon and wants to obtain the power of the gods."
The old man sighed softly: "In fact, the most terrifying thing is the unknown. The fear of the unknown is the biggest fear that hangs in people's hearts. If we can know Kassel's purpose, then the next step will be much easier."
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, the rumored miraculous magician has a mirror that can answer any question. If we find that magician, can we know the jam through the mirror?
What is the purpose of your college?”
"What a nonsense!"
After hearing these words, the old man suddenly seemed to be irritated, and slammed the uncast knife embryo to the ground, "Do you know what on earth you are talking about?"
"That magician is not an ordinary hybrid... No! He is not even a hybrid, but he has unimaginable power! Anyone who makes a wish with that person is likely to be distorted and end up miserable.
ending."
The old man's sigh echoed in the hut.
"This is a troubled time. Not only Cassel, but also the magician. Even an inexplicable cult, the Secret Church, has recently arisen all over the world."
"Even the divine burial site is likely to be discovered in intricate forms. If that's the case..."
The old man said solemnly.
"Let's take this opportunity to bury God's burial place forever. It's just God's cemetery. God is dead... Let her exist as a skeleton forever! She must not be allowed to return to the human world, absolutely not!"
Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a long time: "After taking this step, we can't look back. Dad, have you really thought about it?"
"Living in this world is always like facing an abyss. In fact, there is never a word 'turning back' in this world. At most, it is just starting over!"
The old man said righteously.
An idea suddenly emerged in Yuan Zhisheng's heart:
……is it possible?
Are those people from Kassel College really here to travel?
