"Are you here for Leviathan?"

After a period of chatting all over the world, Rybalko suddenly said.

The expressions of several people in the academy changed slightly. Ever since they boarded the ship, the name 'Leviathan' has been banned. Even if they spoke in private, they would only talk about the big fish in a vague way.

Von Schneider said calmly: "Leviathan is a monster recorded in the Bible, an evil dragon created by God. Does anyone really believe that that thing exists?"

"No, no, there are many legends about it. Some people say it is an evil dragon, some say it is a devil in the deep sea, but I heard people say it is a huge whale." Rybalko was very undecided, "

The previous owner of this boat was a guy who was very fascinated by mysticism. Once he was drunk and told me a lot about Leviathan. You talked about 'that big fish' several times, but you stopped when you saw me.

Without further ado, I thought of Leviathan."

"What did the captain say about Leviathan?" Caesar also pretended to be calm.

"That is a white sperm whale. It is extremely large and extremely aggressive. It will attack the same kind when it is angry. Smaller ships will be in danger when encountering it." Rybalko said eloquently, "It is featured in many myths.

It has appeared before, it is called ti in Indian mythology, it is one of Poseidon’s pets in Greek mythology, and the whale constellation is named after it.”

His posture was casual, and he even asked Patsy for a glass of champagne, "It spends most of its time hibernating, and only swims out of its Arctic ice cave once every sixty years, and swims around the North Pole to inspect itself.

territory, preying on all kinds of big fish along the way. So when I have a premonition that it is coming, other big fish will leave the Arctic Circle and take refuge.”

Everyone looked at each other, the story this guy told was quite strange, but it was completely different from 'Arctic Dragon Hunting'.

"Do you really believe that a whale can live from the age of myth to today?" Von Schneider showed an expression of disbelief.

"My former boss didn't think so. He said that Leviathan is a very special whale, a vampire among whales. It can suck the blood of other whales to stay young." Rybalko shrugged, "But I don't believe this.

Well, I think that guy is the alpha among the whales, constantly replaced. The biggest and most ferocious whale is always in charge, and when one king whale dies, a new one will be replaced.”

"Are whales such highly social animals?" von Schneider continued.

He has not answered any of Rybalko's questions until now, but keeps asking questions. This is a conversation technique to induce more information from the other party.

"I'm just a wage earner who helps people drive boats, and I'm not a cetacean expert." Rybalko smiled and said: "I heard all this. This boat happened to carry a famous cetacean expert.

Tell me, cetaceans are the most social of all animals, and humans’ understanding of cetacean society is currently very limited.”

Von Schneider nodded slightly.

Rybalko is right. Whales and dolphins may be the most social species in the ocean. They have division of labor, cooperation, and their own language. Different groups of whales even have their own dialects. They speak together.

Whisper.

In fact, humans still don’t know much about these large marine creatures that can be seen when entering the aquarium. The vast ocean prevents humans from observing them in depth.

"So, you are indeed here to hunt whales." Rybalko narrowed his eyes slightly, and this expression showed him a cunning businessman, "You don't have a whaling license, but you want to hunt the largest whale in the world.

This is illegal and may be very dangerous. My people cannot accompany you to take such a risk!"

Caesar smiled, picked up the iPad on the table, operated it briefly, and pushed it to Rybalko.

Rybalko picked up the iPad and took a look at it suspiciously. His expression changed suddenly. He raised his head and looked at Caesar with a look for confirmation in his eyes.

Caesar didn't bother to look at him, he just looked into the distance and nodded.

"All payments have been completed, but your accounts have also been frozen. When our ship returns and docks at any port in Europe, your accounts will be reactivated." Butler Patsy added thoughtfully.

"The sea is always mysterious. From ancient times to the present, sailors have to have the consciousness of sacrifice, but we have to sell our lives to the masters who know the goods." Rybalko paused here, "Now our lives are

Yours, at your service, His Excellency Caesar Gattuso!"

In the blink of an eye, even the title changed, and it looked like Lao Jianghu.

Rybalko stood up, gave a standard sailor's salute to Caesar, and bowed slightly to the others, "The captain can't be away from his post for too long. I have to go around the ship. I wish you all a happy meal!"

He had just taken a few steps when he heard von Schneider say: "Please stay, I have another question to ask."

Rybalko turned around and asked, "What are your orders?"

Von Schneider said: "Last Christmas, when this ship was still operating as a luxury gambling ship, during that voyage, you encountered the most powerful aurora in a century. In that aurora, the Yamal followed

Contact with the outside world was lost for 24 hours. It was also in that accident that the previous owner died and the ship became an auction item. I wonder if you can tell us about that incident."

Rybalko hesitated for a moment, "I can't remember clearly."

"Can't remember?" Von Schneider frowned, "That incident was full of doubts and was reported by many media as a supernatural event. The crew and passengers later gave conflicting testimonies, but you are going to dismiss us with 'Can't remember'

?”

"I really can't remember clearly. For the people on the boat, it felt like it was just a few hours." Relbakko said: "We did see the aurora. The kind of aurora that only happens once in a hundred years is called '

"Goddess' skirt", of course we had to take passengers to appreciate it when we encountered it, so we sailed into the aurora."

He paused, "It may be a bit strange to say entering the aurora, but the aurora that day was so intense, it was really like a huge skirt with many layers hanging in the night sky. It may be because the atmosphere is so ionized that radio contact

Interrupted.

We called for rescue, and it felt like it took several hours before we received a reply. When the rescue boat arrived, it said that we had been out of contact for 24 hours. Except for the owner of the boat who drowned for unknown reasons, there was no damage on the boat, so this was

It just happened.

You also know that this kind of gambling ship sailing on the high seas is a lawless place. The passengers have many illegal hobbies, and the aurora that night was so grand. Under those circumstances, even sober people may have hallucinations."

Von Schneider was silent for a long time before saying: "Then from now on, we are really a team. Let us look forward to the appearance of Leviathan, or the white sperm whale you mentioned."

Rybalko took a dignified stride and left, leaving everyone in Kassel College looking at each other.

"Can we trust this man?" asked Abbas, who remained silent.

Caesar calmly said: "We don't need to believe him, we just need his team to sail the ship. We can only rely on ourselves to hunt Leviathan. They will all be brainwashed before landing in Europe."

"How much does it cost to buy these Eastern Europeans to sacrifice their lives for you?" Abbas asked.

"There are 54 crew members, each of whom is US$450,000. Rybalco's personal remuneration is US$7.5 million." Passi de Caesar replied, "Considering that this money is an expense in addition to the crew commission, there will be a loss in taking it from the academy's account.

The Gattuso family will be fully responsible for any trouble."

"So we gave these Eastern Europeans tens of millions of dollars?" Fingel almost jumped up.

Caesar said: "In this case, using money to solve the problem is the most convenient way. We need their technology."

"Your style of doing things is starting to look a bit like Pompeii." Von Schneider said with a slightly profound meaning.
