A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 137 The Tragedy in the Ice Sea Ten Years Ago
As night falls, the mountains appear as black as ink, and without streetlights, the rugged, dark outlines of the suburban mountains remain.

A beam of light pierced the darkness, and the train roared past, its wheels clanging against the rails. The six-man team from Kassel, who were on this mission, gathered in the train compartment.

Chen Motong pulled Susie to sit together, chattering about the dresses in a fashion magazine. Caesar sat next to them, occasionally joining in the conversation.

The young nobleman is very knowledgeable about women's clothing.

In the back row, Lu Mingfei and Finger sat together, while Chu Zihang, sitting next to them, closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Mingfei always felt that the group of students were not on a dangerous mission, but rather on a group trip, as there was no sense of tension at all.

Or is it that everyone is very powerful, but he, this fake S-class, is like a lamb mixed into a wolf pack, still nervous because of his lack of strength?

Listening to the two sisters chatting more and more happily, Lu Mingfei was still a little curious, so he lowered his voice and chatted with Fingel: "Senior brother, did your reaction earlier mean you knew about this mission?"

Immediately, Chen Motong and Su Xi's laughter stopped, Caesar turned his head to the side, and Chu Zihang also opened his eyes.

The physical attributes of a mixed-race person are self-evident. Lu Mingfei thought he was lowering his voice, but everyone could hear him.

Does Fingel, the senior who repeated a year, know the details of the mission? That's definitely something to watch.

Caesar was solely focused on the mission itself, wanting to gather more information so he could better showcase his excellence to Chen Motong.

The other three had more to think about. Could this mission be related to the Old Church again?
All eyes turned to him at once, making Lu Mingfei a little uneasy. Oh no, he was speaking a little too loudly.
Did I disturb the senior sister's chat/the senior brother's rest?
Lu Mingfei bowed his head three times apologetically, first to the front, then to the right, and then to the right front, wanting to say "You guys continue," but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Fingel paused for a few seconds, then stopped hiding his intentions: "This mission may be very dangerous, everyone please be careful."

Susie was still able to sit still, but Chen Motong turned around like a child, pressing his knees against the seat cushion to face Fingel, his bright eyes silently urging him on.

Chu Zihang listened attentively without saying a word, and Caesar also became interested: "Please enlighten me, senior brother."

According to Angers, the mission seemed to be quite easy; at most, they would have to compete with many other hybrids because the news had been leaked on the Hunter Network.

It's not that dangerous. They are all elite bloodlines and believe in their own strength. They won't lose even if they compete with other mixed-blood forces.

But judging from Fingel's words, this mission doesn't seem to be simple at all.

“Because it was posted by ‘Crown Prince’.” When he muttered this ID, Fingel, unusually, gritted his teeth and was extremely vicious.

Just from his tone, it's not hard to imagine that if the 'Crown Prince' really fell into Fingel's hands, he might be torn to pieces.

Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he held his breath and dared not breathe for a moment, for fear that the slightest movement would provoke Fingel's wrath. He had rarely seen Fingel so angry.

The others either continued to stare at Fingel or fell into deep thought.

Fingel exhaled a breath of stale air, slightly suppressing his anger: "You may not know, but ten years ago, the academy also obtained information about the 'Crown Prince' from the Hunter Network."

"!" Except for Lu Mingfei, everyone else felt a tightness in their hearts. Ten years ago, this time was too obvious. It was the time of the Greenland ice sea tragedy.

Sure enough, Fingel, like a ruthless gravedigger, dug up memories buried in the soil, shovel by shovel: "Ten years ago, the 'Prince' openly posted that he had discovered a Dragon King under the Greenland ice sea."

"Dragon King?!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Even as a newbie who had only been enrolled for two months, he knew what the Dragon King meant.

The others also looked serious. They only knew that they had suffered heavy losses ten years ago, but they didn't know any more details, let alone that it was related to the Dragon King!

"..." Fingel suddenly looked around in surprise, his gaze finally landing on Caesar, which puzzled Caesar.

Unbeknownst to him, Fingel's potion had been partially digested.

Is secrecy even considered knowledge?
Potions, truly a remnant of the old days.

Fingel's feelings became complicated. He had only intended to say a few words briefly, reminding everyone to be careful of the 'Prince,' and that was it. But the potion had actually been digested; wasn't this tempting him to recount that painful memory in detail?

Strangely, there was quite a lot to digest this time. Fingel had been explaining things to Lu Mingfei every day, so he knew very well how much progress Lu Mingfei could provide in digesting the information.

In addition, she would occasionally share knowledge with Chu Zihang, Chen Motong, and Su Qian, but there wasn't that much progress in digesting it.

It could only be Caesar. Is Caesar's bloodline actually higher than Chu Zihang's? He clearly lost to Chu Zihang during the last Freedom Day.

With limited information, Fingel could only draw this conclusion, and then, without hesitation, continued to recount the past.

As long as he can quickly advance and revive EVA, he is not afraid of any painful memories: "That's right, 'Prince' even stated in the post that he is the king of the ocean and water."

"As a result, many mixed-race forces gathered in the Ice Sea. During that operation, Professor Schneider led the team, and I was selected as the leader of the diving team."

Chen Motong and Su Qian exchanged a glance. Girls tend to be gossipy, and they had both heard that the Executive Department had a rule that couples could not go into the water together.

This ban stems from a tragic incident at the Arctic Ocean ten years ago, initiated by a diving team leader and his team members.

That means that Senior Brother Fingel and a certain Senior Sister were already...

Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei knew this but didn't care; their attention was entirely on the conversation.

"Because we were the strongest in Kassel, we arrived before everyone else and were the first to dive, and that's when the tragedy happened."

Fingel's eyes were lowered, his bangs covering the upper half of his face, hiding all his emotions in the shadows, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner thoughts: "We, we are experiencing a hallucination."

"An irresistible illusion that even the specially crafted alchemical school badge with its mental protection cannot resist."

"We were like puppets who cut off their own safety ropes, voluntarily stepped out of the diving bell, and came to the incubation ground of the king of the ocean and water."

"The King of the Ocean and Water was very weak for some unknown reason. Our arrival forced this Dragon King to revive and hatch, but someone behind us released the Word of Power: Nine Infants."

Lu Mingfei found it eerie and was so frightened that he hugged himself tightly. The others quickly recalled the information and searched for the Word Spirit Nine Infants, but to no avail.

“Don’t think about it.” Fingel shared proactively: “Word of Power: Nine Infants, that’s a high-risk classified document from the school. They didn’t even include it in the Word of Power sequence list, nor did they give it a sequence number.”

"It is a dangerous ultimate incantation that can rival the 'Primordial Manifestation' of the Dragon Kings."

"Users can keep the Nine-Headed Serpent deep within their consciousness and release it using water as a medium. First, freeze the ocean, then explode the iceberg, thereby destroying everything within range."

"Nine-Headed Serpent possesses the three great powers of the White King, the King of Bronze and Fire, and the King of Ocean and Water. The academy can't figure it out and can only conclude that it's a method of the Dragon King's power that is beyond human comprehension."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked by the power of the Nine-Headed Serpent, and even more shocked that this incident involved two Dragon Kings!

A newly hatched king of the ocean and water, and another dragon king hidden behind the scenes!
Fingel's Guardian Potion dissolved a portion more.

Fingel became even more curious about Caesar's bloodline. It made sense that Lu Mingfei was an S-rank and could accelerate digestion, but how could an A-rank Caesar accelerate digestion?
Now is not the time to think about this. There is plenty of time to test Caesar: "My survival is not due to any greatness of me."

"It was because of one person, a silly girl, who risked her life to activate her Word of Power to save me, but she remained forever in that cold sea."

"You all know what happened next. The Greenland Ice Sea tragedy occurred. We didn't even have to fight the King of the Ocean and the Water. The diving team was almost completely wiped out by the attack of the Word Spirit Nine-Headed Serpent."

"Professor Schneider went down alone to rescue people and was also contaminated by dragon blood, which is why he is now in this state and has to rely on a ventilator to live."

“Over the years, I’ve been searching, searching for the ‘Crown Prince’! I’ve always believed that the person behind that incident was the ‘Crown Prince’!”

Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded. According to Senior Brother Fingel, that meant that their mission was triggered by a dragon king?

The 'Crown Prince' is the Dragon King who unleashed the Word of Power: Nine-Headed Serpent?!
