224. Archaeologist
Mai Shutoku was too lazy to respond to Fingel's trick, "I have to sleep for a while. While I'm asleep, if the polar bears come, please Mr. Flins, please let them sit for a while, and I'll kill them when I wake up."
"
Caesar didn't bother to join in this useless conversation and had already pulled out his hunting knife and dug the snow on the spot.
His judgment was the same as Mai Shutoku's. They had actually entered a dangerous situation of shortage of food and fuel. From now on, all energy consumption had to be reduced to a minimum, and the igloo was a good way.
The snow in the polar regions is very dry, and it only took them less than two hours to build a small snow house, with a tent at the door to block the wind.
The three of them were sitting in the igloo with their knees touching their knees and their faces almost touching their faces, like three bears hibernating together.
"Whose long legs? Whose big chest muscles? Tighten them all!" Fingel complained while drinking, "Two elders, what should we do now?"
No one spoke, Mai Shutoku and Caesar had their knees on each other, seemingly deep in thought, but in fact they had fallen asleep.
They are all efficient people and will not spend time on meaningless chats. The most important thing at this moment is rest. Only when they have sufficient physical reserves can they cope with emergencies.
Fingel murmured a few words, felt sleepy, and fell asleep while holding the bottle of wine.
Caesar only slept for less than two hours before he woke up. The cold wind was howling outside, Fingel was snoring loudly in the igloo, and Mai Shutoku's eyes were unusually bright in the darkness.
"The guy hiding behind the scenes really seems to want to kill us all one by one." She knew that Caesar was awake.
"Like "No One Survived"?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.
"Ten people, who committed ten different crimes, were sentenced to death one by one. The people being executed now are part of the crew, and three of us. The little Inuit girl was almost burned to death by the crew, but you and Abba
Si saved her." Mai Shutoku said: "Your friend Abbas was almost bitten to death by a giant snake, and it was the little Inuit girl who saved him. If these people are eliminated, what is left is
The captain, the professor who could cough to death at any moment, and your secretary with a perfectly grilled steak."
Caesar: "Patsy will not do anything against me, although I also think he is an excellent executioner."
"As the secretary of your family, it is his responsibility to protect the heirs, but we are now on the ice sea where the signal is completely interrupted. No one will know if he kills you." Mai Shutoku said: "Suddenly someone came with steak and wine.
Don’t you think it’s weird about the secretary serving you on the ship?”
"I guess his deeper purpose is for the dragon bone." Caesar pondered: "My family is very concerned about the ownership of the dragon bone. If we successfully kill Leviathan, we should get the bones of the Dragon King."
Mai Shutoku continued: "Where's Captain Rybalco? He experienced a mysterious incident and saw the cyan aurora, but he actually said he couldn't remember anything."
"He is worthy of suspicion, but there may also be someone pretending among those who almost died." Caesar said: "The murderer in "No Survivor" pretended to be the deceased to avoid suspicion. Even this guy who was snoring was
Questionable."
Jiudoku Mai smiled faintly, "Can you say this in front of him?"
Caesar shrugged, "He was an eyewitness to the Greenland incident that year. Professor Schneider lost almost all his students and was bent on revenge. This guy lost all his classmates, but he seems to have forgotten everything."
Mai Shutoku shook her head slightly, "Traumatic experiences will cause people to deliberately avoid recalling certain things."
Caesar took a deep breath, "In short, none of us can escape suspicion, and all the clues are messy."
"No." Mai Shutoku raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "There is one."
"Who?" Caesar was startled.
"You." Shude Mai said calmly: "You are a lion with a golden mane. There is no need to do tricks. You walk through the wilderness and want to eat all despicable animals. You think you are righteous, but in fact you are. Tyrants are also stupid sometimes."
Her words are a bit off-topic, but they are the most vivid metaphor.
She said: "If only absolute trust can crack this conspiracy, I choose to believe you."
Caesar was silent for a moment, "But I can't believe you. I don't even know who the person or organization is behind you."
"If you want to take the opportunity to ask for some information, you can shut up. You are not qualified to ask that person's name." Mai Shutoku said calmly: "I can only ask you to rest assured. This time I I'm just an observer who wants to see what interesting things happen in the Arctic Circle."
Caesar wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
"Finally, let's tell you a secret as the earnest money for a temporary alliance." Mai Shutori said: "The expedition team that was completely destroyed was hired by us. The little Inuit girl seemed to be telling no lies. They were indeed deep in the ice sea. Found something amazing."
Caesar stared into her eyes, "Is your target also Leviathan?"
Mai Shutoku smiled lightly, "Would you think it was ridiculous if I said we were just conducting archaeological work?"
"Routine archeology?" Caesar didn't take it as a joke.
Mai Shutoku: "Based on various intelligence, we believe that there are relics of dragons in the past under the Arctic Ocean, so we hired an expedition team and asked them to go around the Arctic Circle. They are very professional, not professional bounties Hunters, but professional archaeologists.
We don't have high hopes for them, we're just asking for directions in the Arctic Ocean. If we can find the remains of the Dragon Clan by sending a boat around in the Arctic Ocean a few times, then we're really lucky."
She sighed, "But sometimes people just get lucky."
Caesar was surprised, "You mean they really found the sunset?"
Mai Shutoku nodded slowly, "In the beginning, it was just a fragment of a bronze pillar pulled up from the bottom of the sea. That thing should come from some dragon ruins. The entire expedition team was overjoyed because of this discovery. They believed that what they found was from ancient times. There is evidence of human civilization within the Arctic Circle.
There are various professionals in their team. They try to decipher the symbols on the bronze pillars and believe that there are islands in the Arctic Circle that have never been discovered by humans. This is consistent with the Inuit legend's "Sunset Land", and they Go find a local guide. They believe that the Sunset Land is a piece of land that was above the water in ancient times, but was submerged underwater due to the rise in sea levels due to the greenhouse effect."
Caesar suddenly understood, "So their target is not Leviathan, and they don't even know what dragons are?"
