The cruise ship soon docked at the port on the main island of Malta, and then headed to Lucca Airport to transfer to a special plane bound for Chicago.

The A380 passenger plane spread its iron wings and rose into the clouds, side by side with the sun.

As expected, it was a generous charter flight, and the entire cabin was empty except for Xi Ziyue and Greer.

Xi Ziyue sat by the window, watching the city scenery below getting smaller and smaller, and a subtle feeling of traveling arose in her heart.

The so-called travel means that you have to come back after a while.

Greer placed a glass of crystal blue cocktail in front of Xi Ziyue and sat down as well.

"Okay, now let's talk about the official secrets. It won't be a lot, but it will be very brain-burning," Greer said.

When they were on the boat before, Greer wanted to seize the time to chat with Xi Ziyue about these issues, but when she saw that the other party had been sitting on the bow of the boat staring at the sea in a daze, she decided to forget it.

A girl's farewell is always a poem. Let the poem fly for a while before talking about it.

"Let's start with a prophecy. Have you heard of the Mayan's 2012?"

"Isn't this a bad rumor?" Xi Ziyue thought to herself that 2012 has passed many months ago.

"Pfft——" Greer covered her chest as if she had been stabbed in pain.

"This...did I go too far?" Xi Ziyue felt a little aggrieved.

"No, no, no, I am just imitating the reaction of the senior professors of our school after hearing such fierce words, so remember not to mention this in front of them, otherwise with their nearly half a hundred and two hundred people that year,

At such an old age, there is no chance that it will just pass." Greer suddenly returned to normal, changing his face in just one second.

"Understood."

What the hell is the grammar of being nearly half a hundred years old? Just say a hundred!

"Behind many myths in the world, there are shadows of dragons. They have influenced the beliefs and awe of countless civilizations. The end of the world is a favorite proposition in all myths, and the predictions of the Mayans are the most accurate among them.

, our school professor is convinced of this...because Maya uses the power of the dragon family." Greer said.

The huge oil painting landed behind her, like a black iron-like solid wall, depicting a doomsday scene.

The giant black dragon rose from the abyss like a burial ground. Its wings covered the sky and the earth. Black breath spit out from its mouth, burning towards the earth like fire, and the world was shattered.

.

The sunlight outside the window seemed to be dimmed by the presence of this painting, and the plane seemed to be flying through dark clouds of thunder and lightning.

"There are two greatest achievements of the dragon clan. The first one is the spirit of speech, the second one is alchemy. These two are also the most important subjects of study in Kassel, and the third one...

.is their divination technology.”

"Divination?"

Xi Ziyue's mind popped up with a scene of dragons in black robes coaxing each other with a crystal ball... It was so cute.

"Dragons possess unparalleled power and life, but even so, they are no match for time and fate, so they work hard to study divination, inquire about the past, and explore the future. For example... you know there is a word spirit,

Called 'Prophet'?"

Xi Ziyue nodded: "Serial number 81, the effect is to predict the future."

"Yes, there are many sacred books in the world that predict the future, such as "Tui Bei Tu" written by Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and others, such as "Raymonston Manuscript", and the "Shrangama Sutra" in Buddhism, etc.

Behind the books, there is the shadow of the 'prophet'."

"Are you trying to say that the authors of these books are of mixed race?"

"It's - it's - possible - otherwise, how can these books be called divine books?" Greer paused every word.

"Of course the Dragon Clan will not just develop a word spirit for predicting the future. They have also prepared matching alchemical items, rituals, sacrifices, etc. In short, divination can indeed be regarded as the third greatest achievement of the Dragon Clan.

.”

"However, with the interruption of the dragon civilization, most of the divination technology was lost, and the Mayans inherited a small part of the remaining divination technology. They relied on the divination technology left by the dragon to complete many amazing things.

For their achievements, such as the overly accurate astronomical calendar, it is very likely that they did not derive the yearly cycle by observing astronomical phenomena, but by looking to the outside world and seeing the results obtained by future people through modern technology, so they copied them directly."

"However -" Greer suddenly took a deep breath, "But before I ask you a question, Xi Ziyue, if you have the ability to predict the future, what would you most like to see? Suppose the opportunity is only

once."

Xi Ziyue thought about this question seriously.

If you go further and predict, you can choose the invention of controllable nuclear fusion, immigration into space, the disintegration of Eagle Sauce, etc.

The smaller you get, the more you can choose from...

"You really want to see the end, right?" Greer said suddenly.

Xi Ziyue seemed to be reminded.

"Yes, I might want to predict the day I die." Xi Ziyue nodded.

"The reason why we are so eager to know our fate is not to think about how to accept it, but to think about how to resist it... If the fate is good enough, it is another matter." Greer looked towards

Outside the window, the sea of ​​clouds seems to be connected to the universe.

"Death is the fate that everyone wants to know. Because everyone hates death, there are so many predictions about the end of the world, and the Mayans are no exception... So they predicted that civilization in the human era would stop at

On December 21, 2012, this day is the end. Going further back will be pitch black, as if falling into an abyss. After this, no new life will be born, not even the life of a dragon.

"

If you go further back, it will be pitch black... This sentence somewhat touched Xi Ziyue's profile results about her mysterious fiancé.

"But the result is as we can see, the Mayans stumbled on this matter, and December 21, 2012 passed safely. The senior professors of our school who believed deeply in this matter found that after a night of prayer, everything was fine the next morning.

, I am happy and uncomfortable at the same time...I am happy because nothing happened, and I am uncomfortable because my face hurts from being beaten." Greer smiled.

"It turned out that on December 22, the post about looking for Lu Mingfei was posted on the hunter website?" Xi Ziyue said.

"Yes, and not only that, there are various signs that something did happen on the night of December 21st... For example, one of the treasures of Kassel's school, one of the seven deadly sins, is missing.

A knife."

"What are the seven deadly sins?"

"A set of props cast by Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire. It was the ultimate masterpiece of alchemy. It contained seven knives, just used to judge his seven brothers... However, that night, the seven sects

The most powerful knife in sin, Fury, disappeared mysteriously."

"Stolen?"

"Not many people in the world have the ability to pull out this knife. If it is really stolen, then the thief is undoubtedly a Dragon King-level creature... and this is just an anomaly that happened during that period of time.

One of the phenomena is that many things have disappeared, except that Lu Mingfei is extra, and your main task is to use your profiling ability to track down this person." Greer said.

"Then can I tell others that I am investigating Lu Mingfei's matter?" Xi Ziyue asked.

Greer shook his head: "It's best not to. Although we are a dragon-slaying organization that unites in name to fight against dragons, our internal composition is also very complex. Fury was stolen. In addition to the invasion of Dragon King-level targets, there is another possibility.

There is something evil inside.”

"The mole?"

"The place where the Seven Deadly Sins are kept is called the Ice Cellar. It is on the ground floor of the college. You need extremely high authority to enter there, such as the black cards of the principal and vice-principal, and the white card of the school director. It is said that some members of the Elder Council can also enter and do things.

If not, the mole will be among them."

At this point, Greer coughed twice as if he had realized something, and showed a serious face: "Of course, our beloved head of the family, Elizabeth Lafayette, is definitely not doing this kind of betrayal of the organization. I, Laurent

I swear by this surname, otherwise all the women in our family will be humiliated!"

This... Although I really want to complain about this too cruel oath, Xi Ziyue is more concerned about...

"Lafayette? Lisa still has this nickname?"

"After all, we in Kassel mainly provide Chinese education, so we can't help but use some Chinese Internet memes, such as comparing Queen Elizabeth to Empress Dowager Cixi. It just so happens that our head of family is also named Elizabeth, and her nationality is also British, so...

.....Well."

Xi Ziyue thought about this nickname seriously, and suddenly felt that her identity had changed from Sim Haq, Prime Minister of the British Empire, to Xi Zhongtang of the Qing Dynasty...

"That's it, don't tell anyone that you are looking for Lu Mingfei. This is a long-term mission. There is no mission deadline. You can paddle if you want. If there are clues, report them. If there are needs, we will try our best to meet them. Next

Let me tell you something about admission."

Greer just talked about the content of course selection, division of professional courses, elective courses, various activities, acquisition of learning points, etc... It sounds no different from an ordinary university, except for the name of the subject major.

It's too nonsense.

While Xi Ziyue listened, she always glanced absently at the oil painting behind Greer...the black dragon rising from the abyss.

There is no doubt that this dragon is Nidhogg, the culprit who gnawed the roots of the World Tree in Norse mythology and triggered the Twilight of the Gods.

At the same time, it is also...the Black King.

"Um, what is that painting behind you for?" Xi Ziyue couldn't help but ask.

Greer put this painting down when explaining the Mayan prophecies, maybe it was related to the Mayan civilization, but it ended up hanging there without any foreshadowing.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, this is just something I use to heighten the atmosphere. You have to think about it this way. The topic we talked about is so in-depth about dragon civilization. If we don't put something related to dragons next to it, something will feel wrong."

Greer chuckled and then put the painting away.

This reason is really...hard to refute.
