"The sky is the earth, and the earth is the sky, so that's what it means." Caesar also nodded and said, "From the perspective of the crew on the 'Yamal', the mirage is another world, and the sky is the dark sea water, reflecting the real sky.
The aurora above, the earth is like those white islands, so
Because it was a projected hallucination, there was no concept of time at all. The scene Vincent described was exactly the same as that depicted in the "Island of the Dead". He accidentally got a coffin, so he took it for granted that that
The paintings and the scenes he saw were all real."
But the appearance of the coffin is still puzzling. The lifeline was obviously attached to a sailor, but when pulled up it turned into a black coffin of unknown material, exactly the same as what was recorded in the painting... If Vincent and Sasha
No lie, they may have really been close to that strange and legendary island.
"Vincent believed that the appearance of the coffin was related to the heroic spirit of Xi Te Jin, so he used the coffin to place Xi Te Jin's body." Chu Tianjiao said, "An even more magical thing happened. Xi Te Jin was placed in the coffin.
Te Jin’s body actually stopped decaying.”
"After speaking these words, Vincent was very depressed. He said that was the moment he had been closest to the 'Land of Eternal Life' so far. Over the years, he had never seen the 'God's Skirt' again, nor had he seen that
The magical iceberg has never seen the island in the iceberg. He regrets that he missed the opportunity. It may be the only chance in his life.
He didn't seize the opportunity to resurrect their leader." Chu Tianjiao said, "He has been staying in the Arctic Circle these years. Even though he spent all his money, went bankrupt, and was about to die of old age, he still prayed to God for help.
Give him a second chance, and the leader's heroic spirit can guide him one more time, even if it costs him his life or any price."
Sometimes faith can save a person's life, sometimes faith can kill a person, as is the case with Vincent.
When the empire was declining, he was still a young man, an insignificant figure next to the great head of state. A young man in his twenties had not even formed a complete world view. He only knew that the head of state was right and that the head of state was great.
Yes, the head of state is omnipotent, no different from every brainwashed idiot... Later, when the imperial guards were destroyed and Xitegan escaped, his outlook on life took a huge blow.
So Vincent tried his best to find the special base camp in Antarctica, and he was obsessed with resurrecting his leader. For most people in this world, the traitor is a symbol of the devil, but for Vincent, the traitor is the symbol of the devil.
Death is his lifelong belief. His life is composed of countless densely packed ten thousand words. He is very ill. Anyone can say that he is a madman, but there is no medical reason.
They would define him as mentally ill, because he has his own logic, so he is too old to walk and still insists on wearing a military uniform in his room and saluting and bowing when he sees the corpse of the head of state. He has been doing this all his life.
Living in the echoes and glorious memories of the past war, even if he is about to die of old age, he does not need any medicine or treatment. His faith is his best medicine.
In this kind of person's life, he can live for his faith, and he can also die for his faith.
"You haven't finished telling your story, right?" Nono suddenly looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "You only told the part that Vincent and Sasha told you. Their parts were complete, but you haven't said anything yet.
to your own section.”
"My part?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Nono, with a subtle smile appearing on his lips, "How can you be so sure that something must have happened to me on the 'Yamal'?"
"Because of your character, you are by no means a person who will easily trust others after hearing a story from them, no matter how sincere their emotions are, how self-consistent their logic is, or even have some kind of evidence." Nono looked at Chu.
Tianjiao, shook his head slowly and said, "If you only heard these things from Vincent and Sasha,
, you will not tell us in such a confident tone, even if they have the rare corpse, the painting, and the black coffin, you are undoubtedly a smart person, I have met many smart people, all smart people
People are extremely self-centered, and the only thing they can believe 100% is what they see with their own eyes."
"So you are also this type of smart person, right?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Nono and asked, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Yes." Nono nodded without hesitation, with a calm and generous expression. She didn't care whether such an answer would make her appear narcissistic or even conceited.
"You are right. If it were the past, I would completely agree with your statement, but now I want to make a correction." Chu Tianjiao said, "A truly smart person will not believe it 100% even if he sees it with his own eyes.
, extremely smart people, they live in a cycle of self-justification, they are tired of thinking all their lives and never fully believe anything.”
After thinking for a while, Nono nodded: "That makes sense."
"Well, Uncle Chu, I also have a question." Seeing that Nuonuo and Chu Tianjiao had finished talking, Lu Mingfei suddenly interrupted.
The eyes of Chu Tianjiao and others fell on Lu Mingfei.
"I wonder if the 'Island of Death' that Vincent and the people on the Yamal saw was not a mirage." Lu Mingfei paused and then said slowly, "The so-called 'Island of Death' was not a mirage."
Could it be that the "Island of Death" was originally an island that existed underwater?"
An island existing under water sounds so fantastical. Everyone's subconscious thought is that this idea is too ridiculous... But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible. There are too many things in the world of dragons that humans find unbelievable.
Well, there is a bronze city under the water, a maze-like endless road in the subway, and a dragon eating potato chips and watching TV. Let’s just say there is an illusory iceberg in the Arctic Circle, and there is an underwater world hidden in the iceberg.
Island, what’s so strange about it?
Their hybrid species itself is something beyond human understanding. It is not surprising that the world of dragons, let alone things related to the Dragon King, is difficult for them to understand.
"Senior sister, you have thought of this a long time ago, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo and asked.
When Lu Mingfei raised this conjecture just now, everyone's expressions changed except for Nono who looked calm.
"Well...if that iceberg is a mirage, and the island under the sea is also a mirage, the Dragon King of the Arctic Circle is too incompetent." Nono nodded and said, "An island that was originally hidden under the water, it
When it appears, it will be accompanied by a huge and illusory iceberg, causing a rare natural wonder like the "God's Skirt". This is only reasonable. The sky is the earth, the earth is the sky, and the heaven and the earth are reversed. Doesn't this mean the underwater world?
What?"
What Nuonuo said would only be unbelievable, but if you think about it seriously, it is completely logical. If the legendary "Island of Death" is really a Nibelung, then it should have such a strong character. Now even
Human technology can create certain natural wonders, not to mention the power of the Dragon King?
And the world reflected under the sea... indeed, that is the upside-down world in the true sense. It is not a mirage, but a real substance.
If there really is such a mysterious place in the world, it must be a certain Nibelung.
"So the crew of the 'Yamal' really salvaged a coffin from the sea." Caesar showed an expression of sudden realization, "That is the coffin of the 'Island of Death'. That island originally existed under the sea, so
The coffin emerged from the water."
Everyone understood that although no one knew why the crew member who fell into the water turned into a coffin inexplicably, Caesar's analysis just supported the view that "the 'Island of Death' existed underwater at the time."
"You are the most talented young people I have ever seen." Chu Tianjiao looked at the juniors in the room without hiding the admiration in his eyes.
"So can you tell us what happened after that?" Nono asked Chu Tianjiao.
"She is such an impatient girl." Chu Tianjiao looked at Nono and said, "But to be honest, I actually quite admire a girl with your personality."
So that's it, Chu Zihang glanced at Chu Tianjiao and thought silently, because his mother is also impatient in many things.
"Hey, young man, help me go to the wine cabinet and hand me the bottle of wine at the bottom of the second column." Chu Tianjiao waved to Fingel.
"That bottle of antique rum from Iceland?" Fingel's eyes lit up. He walked around Chu Tianjiao's tavern several times and had already memorized all the expensive wines in it.
The bottle that Chu Tianjiao was talking about was called "Folgate Scull". It was the best rum in the world. It was found by a drinker in the aging room. It took two hundred years to complete the brewing.
, a rare treasure worth six figures!
"I know you are greedy for my wine." Chu Tianjiao laughed and scolded, "Get a few more cups, even the most expensive wine is for drinking. This is my first time to welcome guests in this room, not to mention that you are all mine.
My son's friend is also our savior. No matter how expensive the wine is, I can buy him wine. There is nothing I can't tell you about what happened back then."
Fingel took out a few glasses from the cabinet very familiarly, and poured the wine over and over, looking like he had been craving for this wine for a long time... The others raised their ears and waited.
Tianjiao said what happened to him next.
"After that, Vincent invited me to drink. Before I could refuse, Sasha came over carrying boxes of rum. The boxes were full of treasures. Before I could say anything, Sasha opened two bottles.
The sealed wine was put into my and Vincent's hands, and he clinked glasses with us without any explanation." Chu Tianjiao said, "The old guy seemed to have changed when he picked up the bottle. His face was rosy and his speech was sharp. Do you dare to believe this?
An old man who is about to die of old age blows into the bottle of rum after copying the alcohol content?"
Everyone imagined the scene. It was indeed quite scary. An old guy with a haggard face and as thin as a skeleton suddenly blew rum into a bottle with great energy. The sense of incongruity in this scene was no different from that of a dragon standing in front of him.
I hold my two legs and dance in the Pure Land in front of you.
"The old guy and Sasha took turns clinking glasses with me. Every time they clinked glasses, the old guy called me 'Destiny's Child.' This title made me inexplicably irritated. I impatiently told the old guy that I was not 'Destiny's Child.'
, I am just a mortal. The old guy said that he had just witnessed my 'divine power' with his own eyes. How can a person with 'divine power' be a mortal?" Chu Tianjiao took a sip of wine and said, "I said that is not a 'divine power'.
, you can understand it as some kind of 'special function'. There are a lot of people with 'special function' in this world. I am not a special character, but the old guy is so stubborn. He said that since there are so many people like this in the world,
Why is it that I am the only one who appears on the Yamal? I am the only one who appears in front of him. He will see me today. This is the guidance of the heroic spirit of the head of state."
"This old thing is really clingy." Fingel took a big sip of wine, "It's like brown sugar."
"I also felt annoyed at the time, what a 'son of destiny', what a 'head of state', this old guy was basically brainwashed by Xite Jin, and now he wants to wash my brain again, I looked at him coldly, I
I just came here for what I care about. Once things are clear, I have no reason to stay on this boat. I know that the old guy with a billion dollars will definitely not be able to pay it, but I got the information from him, and
The person who killed him, for the sake of his sincerity, canceled the money he owed me." Chu Tianjiao said, "The old guy was so anxious, he knelt down in front of me and refused to let go even after saying anything.
When I left, he said that he had already missed one opportunity and could not miss the second one. If I left like this, I don’t know when he would be able to resurrect the Führer. He didn’t have a few years left to live. I would probably be him.
Last chance."
"But you still rejected him, didn't you?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao. He and Chu Tianjiao had the same personality in this aspect. When he treated his own people, he was caring like a grandma, and when he treated strangers, he was cold and cold.
lump of pig iron.
"Yes, I said it has nothing to do with me whether your head of state is resurrected or not. It is a good thing if he is not resurrected and the world will be peaceful. If he is resurrected, the world will be in chaos." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Actually, that's what I was thinking.
Vincent has already told me the information about the Nibelung, and he happened to encounter it just once more than ten years ago. I won't gain anything by continuing to stay on the ship."
"Vincent and I are not the same people. Since he has lost his use value, there is no need for me to continue to waste time on him. I am quite interested in his coffin, but it is too big and very difficult to use."
It’s hard to take away, and if I take away the vessel containing the head of state, the old guy will kill me, so
I finished my drink and was about to leave." Chu Tianjiao said in a cold tone, "Vincent has been trying to persuade me. He said that the head of state actually has many treasures in the world. He knows a few clues. If I am willing to help him find the resurrection
The head of state's method, he will definitely share those clues with me, it only takes up one year of my time."
