Just when Lu Chen was thinking about whether to drag Chu Zihang and the others around again, he suddenly turned around cautiously and saw a figure walking towards them about a few hundred meters away.
The visitor has a slim and slender figure, and his long legs are even more eye-catching. He is wearing a white tights and has a long single ponytail. No matter how he looks, he does not look like a scientific researcher.
At this time, the woman had a happy smile on her face and waved to several people.
Sensing Lu Chen's movements, Fingel and Chu Zihang also turned their heads and looked at the woman.
Fingel pushed Chu Zihang and said, "Junior brother, could it be that I have been freezing for a long time and have hallucinations? How could I see a long-legged supermodel on the snow?"
"Senior brother, you read that right, there is indeed a woman."
Chu Zihang replied calmly.
Several people stood up, and Lu Chen stared at the woman, analyzing her strength from the movements of her steps.
Then Lu Chen slightly waved his hand behind him, meaning there was no danger.
Mai Shutoku ran over and greeted a few people with a smile. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to get into the ice cave, but as a ninja she had to be thick-skinned.
"Are they Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Chu, and Senior Brother Fingel?"
When a few people were still a little confused, Mai Jiudoku shook hands with Lu Chen and the others enthusiastically.
"Who are you?"
Lu Chen said doubtfully.
"Kassel College Level 04, Shutoku Aki, I was sent by the Executive Department to assist the commissioners, and I also brought snake venom serum."
As she spoke, Shutoku Mai also took out an Executive Department Commissioner's Certificate and a small box containing snake venom serum.
This was the extra "supply" that her boss asked her to bring before she came. She was still wondering at the time. She didn't expect that these black snakes actually showed up. She didn't use it herself, and Chu Zihang couldn't use it now, but A good reason indeed.
Lu Chen took the Executive Department Commissioner's Certificate from the other party. He opened it and looked at it, and then carefully looked at the watermark in the anti-counterfeiting department. There was nothing wrong with it.
"Thank you, senior, for coming to support me, but are you the only one?"
Lu Chen first expressed his gratitude. There are two things in the college that are difficult to forge, one is the student ID card, and the other is the ID of the executive department specialist.
Besides, they had lost contact for a few days, so it was reasonable for the execution department to send people to support and investigate the situation.
"We dispatched two teams, but they were separated due to the snowstorm, and my supplies were also lost. I have been hiking in the ice field for the past few days and found no one else."
Mai Shutoku sighed, looking worried for her companions.
As for the certificates, of course there is no problem. The highest level of counterfeiting is "original factory production". With their ability, it is not a problem to get several executive department certificates. She also has a student ID card!
"Hopefully everyone else is okay."
Lu Chen expressed his condolences, but he estimated that after traveling through that snowstorm, most of the other executive department commissioners were excluded. Only this Jiude senior was "lucky" to be involved in the Nibelungen incident. caught in the cracks.
"Shutoku Aki?"
Fingel looked at the woman in front of him with a trace of suspicion in his eyes, which immediately made Shutoku Mai feel nervous.
The only flaw in her disguise, where she might be seen through, is Fingel, because this guy is level 01!
Theoretically, she should have stayed with him in the academy, and she didn't know if her sister had ever met this guy.
"Senior brother, do you still remember me?"
Mai Shutoku looked happy, but she was very nervous in her heart.
Fingel looked at Mai Shutoku from top to bottom and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you just graduate last year? I seemed to have seen you at the graduation ceremony, but why do I feel... you seem to have grown a little taller?"
Fingel thought that the junior sister in front of him looked familiar, but why did he remember that her legs were not so long before? Could it be that she had stretched after graduation
"Senior brother, do you think I am a short-legged little woman?"
Mai Shutoku suppressed her nausea and made an angry look.
She and Shutoku Aki are twin sisters, and their looks are indeed very similar. If you look at the upper body alone and add makeup, it would be difficult for unfamiliar people to tell them apart. However, she never expected that her long legs would betray her.
"Haha, that's not what I meant."
Fingel waved his hand, thinking that maybe he was overthinking it. After all, he did have this person in his mind, and his appearance was the same.
"Senior Jiude, you seem to have just graduated. Since the executive department sent you here, you must have special skills, right?"
The questions Chu Zihang asked were always serious. As for what stories this senior had with Brother Fingel, he... couldn't say he wasn't interested, but their situation was very serious at the moment.
"Just call me Aki...does my long legs count?"
Mai Shutoku didn't smile when she saw several people. The cold wind in the far north seemed to be getting colder, so she straightened her expression and said: "I have also had experience in facing targets suspected of being the Dragon King, and I have been studying Nibo when I was in school. I have also published papers on the various characteristics of dragon roots, so the executive department sent me to help the juniors find the target. "
Lu Chen picked up the bronze statue and shook it. "We found this at the pole. We speculate that the Nibelungs are nearby, but we still can't find the entrance."
"Junior brother, it's useless for you to search like this. You have had the experience of entering the Nibelung before. You should know that the medium is very important."
Mai Shutoku glanced at the bronze statue and said.
Chu Zihang thought for a moment, squatted down and pushed the snow away, "The medium that enters the Nibelungs is usually mirrors, water and other media. There is no shortage of mirrors and water here."
He believed that the medium was everywhere around him, and that he and Brother Fingel also had the mark of the Dragon King. Moreover, they were already in the gap between the Nibelungs. In theory, they had been "invited", but why couldn't they get in?
"Junior brother, what you said is not entirely correct. Just because there are media everywhere here, there are no special anomalies. We also need other media."
Mai Jiudoku and Chu Zihang started discussing.
Lu Chen and Fingel consciously took a step back, saying that this kind of discussion has nothing to do with academics. You say what you want, and we only want the results.
"Water, ice, and mirrors also need special points..." Chu Zihang analyzed silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Senior, you mean, you also need light!"
Mai Shutoku snapped her fingers, "Bingo! As expected of Junior Brother Chu."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but pointed to the sun in the sky and asked doubtfully: "It's completely white here and the light is very good. We don't lack light."
Chu Zihang explained: "Brother Lu, Senior Sister Yaji is talking about a special light... the aurora."
Even Fingel was a little confused this time, "Junior brother, I am a scumbag, but I also have common sense. Now that the spring equinox has passed, it is daylight near the pole, and there is no night at all. Where can the aurora come from?"
Mai Shutoku looked at Fingel, smiled, and explained: "Aurora is a large-scale discharge process around the earth. The charged particles from the sun arrive near the earth, and the earth's magnetic field forces some of them to concentrate along the magnetic field lines. At the North and South Poles, when they enter the upper atmosphere of the polar regions, they collide and excite atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, producing light and forming auroras. So at this level, auroras have always existed, but they are stronger or weaker. The sun is too strong during the day and we can’t see it.”
Lu Chen nodded repeatedly at the side. In fact, he didn't quite understand the profound words in the middle, but he didn't want to be despised like Brother Fingel.
"But there is another problem. From a physical phenomenon, auroras do exist, but what Brother Fingel said is right. It is always daytime and we cannot see aurora."
Chu Zihang frowned slightly, they seemed to have reached a dead end again.
"There will be auroras, we just have to wait until a special time."
Mai Shutoku pointed at the sky, "Norma from the Executive Department calculated that at 23:49 tonight there will be a total solar eclipse that can only be observed in the North Pole. This is a century-long cycle. Here, During this rotation, all parts of the world will see a total solar eclipse at different times. According to Norma’s calculation analysis, by July 22 this year, you will be able to see a total solar eclipse in many areas of your hometown.”
Lu Chen and others were a little surprised when they heard this. Even Lu Chen didn't ask why the time of appearance in different regions was different, because even he now knows the difference in longitude and latitude. The angle of the moon's obstruction is not the same at all, but in the large cycle Within a year, there will be several places around the world where a total solar eclipse can be seen.
"So, we can enter the Nibelungen tonight?"
Fingel cheered up now. Even he had had enough of circling the endless snowfields.
"Theoretically, it is possible, but we have to make preparations first. According to the experts from the execution department, perhaps when the aurora's projection falls in the mirror, the gate of the Nibelungen will open."
Mai Shutoku raised her hands as she spoke, "Let's talk first, senior sister, I'm just a support staff. Once I help you find the Nibelungen, my mission will be completed, but don't take me in with you."
Lu Chen nodded, "Senior sister is right. Brother Chu and I can just go in for this mission. Senior brother Fingel, you and senior sister are on standby outside. We will solve the target as soon as possible. By then, the outside realm should be lifted." "
Originally, he didn't even want to take Chu Zihang with him, but Brother Chu was very stubborn, and now that he had gained new power, he didn't want him to go in and fight alone.
As for Senior Brother Fingel... forget it, he admits that Senior Brother Fingel is not a real useless dog, and the Bronze Throne is also a good speech spirit, but the Nibelungs who entered the Dragon King do not have half the combat power of the next generation. Free.
Chu Zihang glanced at Senior Sister Ya Ji, and still felt that this matter was weird. He did not doubt the other party's identity. After all, the other party had no ill intentions. He could not think of anyone except the academy who would help them.
He just thinks that this thing is too coincidental. If the opening condition of the Nibelung on this piece of eternal frozen soil requires aurora, maybe it also requires a special aurora, that is, the aurora under a total solar eclipse... That would be too much. Harsh, and they can happen to meet.
This feeling was like a pair of invisible pushers of fate pushing them towards the Nibelungs of the Dragon King. This feeling was not a good one.
"That's right, junior brothers."
Mai Shutoku's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. She had never been in such a mess since she started her career, "... Do you have anything to eat? Senior sister, I haven't eaten in almost two days."
After coming to the conclusion that the Nibelungs might appear tonight, several people were in a good mood, so they began to make rice.
Mai Shutoku and Lu Chen got together and ate the flavored nutritional cans specially provided by the college in an elegant manner. I have to say that they tasted pretty good.
Seeing that Lu Chen and others didn't doubt her much, she couldn't help but sigh that my mother was indeed a capable actress. Originally, they had discussed letting Sanwuniu come with her for this mission.
But the boss vetoed it and said Sanwuniu would not be allowed to come to this area.
Now that I think about it, the boss is really wise. If he brought Sanwu Niu with him, he would not be able to hide it. That girl has such a cold face that she could freeze someone to death.
What's more, Sanwuniu will be enrolling in school next year, so she can't jump in first.
After eating, Lu Chen got up and started "cleaning" the ice field.
Because this area is subject to wind and snow all year round, there is thick snow on the ground, covering the ice.
What if the aurora needs to be reflected in a mirror to achieve perfect conditions? They don't want to fall short.
"Tsk tsk, I think even if Junior Brother Lu doesn't come to the academy, just relying on his strength and working is definitely a good way to make a fortune."
Fingel looked at Lu Chen who was sweeping the floor with Hei Xuan, and started talking nonsense again.
"... With Brother Lu's character, he will come to the academy sooner or later."
Chu Zihang understands what kind of person Brother Lu is. After he fails to open the martial arts gym in his hometown, he will definitely run to all over the world and start his own adventure. Sooner or later, he will encounter extraordinary power, and with Brother Lu’s combat power , and will definitely be noticed by the college.
Blood Mourning always separates people from normal society, and brings people together who should be together... hugging each other for warmth.
When Lu Chen finished his work, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. If they were in the Lionheart Club's office at this time, Milanla and Susie might have made tea for them and continued to correct the documents after drinking the tea.
It's a pity that this is the Arctic Icefield, and they didn't bring anything as elegant as tea.
Among the supplies distributed by the execution department, there was only energy drink. After heating, drinking a bottle can last for half a day in calories... Of course, it was not enough for Lu Chen and now Chu Zihang.
The waiting time was long. Considering that there might be a big battle after entering the Nibelungen, several people had no time to sit and chat.
There was only one tent, and based on the principle of giving priority to ladies, Mai Shutoku was allowed to rest for four hours, and then Lu Chen and the other three clenched their teeth and slept.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, several people packed their bags and carried the necessary supplies with them.
Lu Chen also put on the combat uniform under his coat, carried Piao Xue and Izumi Mamoru Kanesada around his waist, and carried a huge black black box behind his back.
At 11:49, just as "Aki-senpai" said, it started to get dark.
