"It was the last white day in the winter of 1941 in Belarus. When the sun set over the mountains, the sound of hounds barking came through the heavy snow. Those black shadows were like the god of death. They brought the invincibility of burning.
consuming fire and death.”
"The wooden door of the wooden house on the snow hill was violently kicked open, and they rushed in. Surrounding the interior of the dilapidated cabin, pots and pans were neatly placed on the stove. The stove had been extinguished for a long time, leaving only an afterglow. The leader
The soldiers howled angrily and smashed the photo frames on the cabinet with their rifle butts. Just as they were about to leave, a heavy military leather shoe stepped into the house."
"That was a general, with a low-brimmed hat, and white snow falling on the shoulders of his military uniform. His face was as sharp as the bridge of his nose, and the eyes in the deep-set eye sockets were simply igniting with light. Below, he said
.”
"The woman who was hiding alone in the compartment under the wooden house was dragged out of the cabin. She was grabbed by the hair and twisted hard. The soldiers cheered and threw her to the haystack, and put the torch in front of her.
She was a typical Belarusian, with hair like faded gold, good-looking but wearing some plaster, shouting something, but the soldiers couldn't understand, they just needed to know that this woman was not mute,
In this way, the cruel pleasures that follow will be even more cruel."
"Atrocities are happening. The German officer is sitting by the bonfire and looking at his soldiers. The fire is in his eyes, as if it is about to burn, turning the country they invaded into the ignited wooden house behind him. The woman keeps shouting
The soldiers didn't understand Belarusian, which they didn't understand, but they didn't care, thinking she was begging for mercy."
"The hunter who hunted in the northern canyon came back. He brought the joy of harvest and two jackrabbits with thick fur. He thought that he could make another pair of earmuffs for his wife while he was hungry. As he climbed over the hills, he was stopped by the distant people.
The firelight illuminated his eyes. He raised his head and stood still on the top of the hill, like a stone frozen by snow. He abandoned his prey and ran home, calling her name along the way. Next to the wooden house with flames reaching into the sky,
The woman in the pool of blood on the ground was also murmuring his name, from beginning to end, never stopping."
"What are you looking at?"
"Um?"
Baroque-style library, under the huge glass dome are rows of bookshelves leaning against the walls, stacked on top of each other almost to the roof.
Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in front of the wooden table, subconsciously put down the book in his hand. He turned around and saw Lin Nian coming back with a pile of books next to him. The other person sat across the table holding the pile of books and sorted the books into several categories.
He looked at Su Xiaoqiang who was holding an old book.
“Ah, I’m not reading anything, just passing the time.” Su Xiaoqiang covered the book in his hand on the table. Lin Nian glanced at the cover and saw the name of the book, "Dragon_Slaughter_In_Snow_Field". Translated, it probably means "Dragon Hunter in the Snow"?
"A very interesting book, a documentary novel, originally written in Belarusian. What you are reading now is a translated version. Someone found a manuscript and notes in a small village in Ukraine, and restored the story after sorting it out." Zai Lin
Lin Xian walked out behind Nian, pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.
“Good morning, sister.” Su Xiaoqiang was startled and said immediately.
“Good morning, have you had breakfast?”
“I’ve eaten. I ate in the cafeteria with Lin Nian.” Su Xiaoqiang nodded.
“Have you read the book in her hand?” Lin Nian flipped through some books in front of him and seemed not surprised by Lin Xian’s arrival.
“I have read a lot of books in this library, and I happened to flip through the one in Xiaoqiang’s hand when I was bored.”
"Is it good to read? I just read the beginning, it seems to be about war." Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head and flipped through the pages of the book, "But it's all in English and I can't quite understand it. It's a bit difficult to chew."
"A revenge biography, it probably tells the story of an old Ukrainian hunter who lost his wife and son during World War II. The person who destroyed his family was an officer of the German Army, and this officer seemed to have extraordinary abilities. He could hold a tank with his hands,
To tear a grizzly bear apart, the faithful hunting dog beside the old hunter was torn apart in this way. When the German officer was angry, his pupils would turn golden and scales would appear on his body, making him as frightening as the legendary evil dragon."
"Is that German officer a mixed race?" Lin Nian interjected, "However, during World War II, many people with blood did enter the battlefield. The role of mixed races in the war at that time cannot be underestimated. Angers
Principal, I remember also going for a swim in a puddle of muddy water."
"In short, this book tells the story of an old hunter who hunted the German officer countless times after his family was destroyed. Against the background of the raging war of World War II, he kept trying to hunt the German officer and constantly challenged the doubts with his human body.
For the powerful goal of dragons, he rescued countless people who were in trouble due to the war on the way to revenge, and finally even adopted a Belarusian little girl as an adopted daughter." Lin Xian took the book and flipped through it.
“The journey of revenge is arduous. The protagonist suffers constantly, chasing the enemy’s footprints like a hound in famine, plague, and cold, hiding in the dark and quietly wiping the bloody shotgun, warming the flame of hatred in his heart.
At the end of the story, he got what he wanted. The old hunter successfully ambush the German officer in a snowfield for the 88th time. When the German officer was cornered, he actually transformed into a giant dragon.
.
The old hunter used his superb marksmanship and various clever traps to lure the dragon to the stone bridge on the cliff. Finally, he asked his adopted daughter to activate the preset explosives to blow up the bridge and the German officer.
The giant dragon fell off the cliff together."
“Perish together?” Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"No, the ending of the story is Happy En, because after the adopted daughter went around the cliff, she found that the old Ukrainian hunter was not dead. He was hiding in the wound of the dragon. The dragon fell to the ground and died, but he survived hiding in the flesh and blood.
He even gained superhuman strength because of the dragon's blood." Lin Xian said.
“Superman’s power? Is he the Superman I imagined?” Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment.
"It may be many times weaker. It is said that there is a legend circulating in the local area where the original manuscript and diary of this book were found. It belongs to a World War II hero. It looks like an old hunter with a little girl. It is said that he was fighting against the Nazis.
He made a huge contribution in the war of **, killing more than 300 German troops who invaded Belarus, and protected many local residents. They also made a statue of this old hunter." Lin Xian picked up the thermal insulation he carried with him.
Instead of pouring water directly into the cup, he unscrewed the lid and skillfully took out a can of Coke with water and placed it on the table.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lin Nian looking at her Coke, shrugging and explaining, "Colored drinks are not allowed in the library."
Lin Xian opened the Coke and took a sip and handed it to Lin Nian. Lin Nian waved it off and then handed it to Su Xiaoqiang. She looked at the latter and took it blankly and said, "The hunting and revenge in the early stages of this story can be compared to "Monte Cristo"
"The Count" is a revenge novel, but the part of this story that is really meaningful to future generations is actually the ending. Scholars who collected this book into the library discovered that at the end of the book, it was recorded that the old hunter was slaying the dragon.
After that, he underwent a 'baptism'. After the 'baptism', the old hunter became a superman-like existence. After studying the traces he left behind in reality, he was surprised to find that there really was such a person in history. He was born as a hunter and possessed the characteristics of a superman.
An adopted daughter, fighting against the Germans, was as scary as a ghost in the snowy fields, and finally seemed to die at the age of 130."
“Is it related to the fact that he hid in the dragon’s body and bathed in dragon blood?” Lin Nian asked.
"It's hard to say. It's extremely difficult to hunt dragons, even the lowest fourth and fifth generations. What's more, in an era when thermal weapons were not developed, some people suspected that the old hunter himself was
A mixed race, he only awakened from his blood after seeing his wife died tragically at the hands of the Germans." Lin Xian said, "Didn't you hunt pure-blood dragons? Didn't you undergo the process of 'baptism'?"
"If you say it's bloody, no." Lin Nian said, "Real battles often end very quickly. There is no kind of back and forth where you come and I go back and forth. The outcome is basically determined by one or two back and forth."
, the shortest is tens of seconds, the longest is only a few minutes.”
“Is it so dangerous?” Su Xiaoqiang was a little uneasy.
“Don’t worry too much. Although his superpower is not great, it is very good at protecting his life. His characteristic is that he can run fast and can still run away if he can’t be beaten!” Lin Xian patted Lin Nian’s shoulder and smiled.
"Yeah, yeah." Lin Nian nodded, as if if you say yes, then you are not making excuses. Anyway, he can't make any noise even if he is holding it to death. He was born shorter in front of Lin Xian. In the future, he will become the blond girl.
There, steal a few more bronze and fire-type or ocean- and water-type spirit spirits to show off enough.
“The book says that bathing in dragon’s blood will make you stronger. If you have a chance, try it.” Lin Xian suddenly said.
“”Lin Nian paused for a moment, seemed to think of something, and turned to look at Lin Xian.
"I heard from Professor Masashi Toyama that Professor Mans Rundstedt has left the school." Lin Xian also looked at him, "Probably soon?"
“It’s indeed fast, but you can’t rush this kind of thing. I will only go when you need me.” Lin Nian nodded and did not deny it.
“What are you talking about?” Su Xiaoqiang looked confused.
"Nothing." Lin Nian glanced at Su Xiaoqiang, "Instead of worrying about what we said, it's better to worry about tomorrow's 3E exam. Do you still remember the purpose of our coming here?"
“Didn’t you say you wanted to answer the question?” Su Xiaoqiang suddenly became nervous and lowered his voice, but there was no one in the library now.
“Today is a free day, everyone will probably go crazy outside, and no one will bother us,” Lin Nian said.
It is now around 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning. The library is very quiet. You can only hear the sound of light slowly crawling on the table under the dome. There are some people outside the library but not loud. The last time I had a free day
The lunatics in the student union have used the church as a stronghold, but no matter how crazy they are, they don’t dare to come to the library to cause trouble. After all, many things here are precious treasures of dragon civilization. Those guys will never cause trouble here no matter how messy they are.
.
I don’t care whether the Lion Heart Club and the Student Union are going to beat each other’s brains out today. It’s none of Lin Nian’s business in the library.
“So, memorize it.” Lin Young gently pushed all the erasable-marked books in front of Su Xiaoqiang.
"Recite? What to memorize?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned. She had specially prepared an arithmetic book and a notebook for the topic, but now the other party pushed more than a dozen books in front of her at once.
"Memorize the test questions." Lin Nian said, "The 3E test is conducted in the form of Long Wen, but it is not the English listening test you imagine. Instead, what he pronounces in the phonetics, you will read what he pronounces in Long Wen.
I wrote down the text exactly as it was, there are ten articles in total, and it is like this for every session."
"The question in the 3E exam is about the written expression of the spirit. He will play a clip of chanting the spirit in the low part of a strong music. If you can identify what kind of spirit he is chanting, then follow the writing
You can score by coming down." Lin Xian explained.
"There are 118 types of spirits. Those with serial numbers after 88 are unstable. Ratings from 89 to 100 are dangerous, 101 to 112 are high risk, and ratings after 113 are top secret. In the past 3E exams, only numbers 1-87 have appeared.
There are only 87 questions in the question bank, so you have one day to memorize these words." Lin Nian said.
“Just memorize the question bank?” Su Xiaoqiang’s face tightened.
“Memorize the question bank.” Lin Nian nodded.
After getting the answer, the girl looked at the mountain of books in front of her and almost fainted.
