"You think you're qualified to question me?!"
Chapter 146 A Song of Ice and Fire
Still no news of the girl?
At the Japanese branch of Genji Heavy Industries, Uesugi Koshi frowned and asked somewhat anxiously, while Sakurai Kogure, standing behind him, pursed her lips and remained silent.
The technician being questioned by Uesugi Koshi was also sweating profusely, frantically operating the equipment in front of him, but no matter how many times he called, the signal from the other side of the earth remained unanswered.
Not long after Genji entered the Greenland Ice Sea, they completely lost contact.
Knowing that the signal was very poor there, Uesugi Koshi had the technicians install satellite positioning and various high-tech equipment. In theory, they should have been able to make contact as long as they found a place with a better signal.
Before Yuan Zhinü set off, she had promised to report on her progress every now and then, but now all news has disappeared without a trace. How can one not be worried?
Moreover, for some reason, ever since Genji left, Uesugi Kotsugu had a persistent sense of foreboding. Just now, that premonition was particularly strong, as if something had happened that he absolutely did not want to see.
Moreover, Greenland, which was originally peaceful, is now experiencing a series of bizarre phenomena, including suspected earthquakes and suspected underwater volcanic eruptions. These phenomena are so strange that they make one think of the ancient records that it seems only the birth of a monarch would cause such an event.
Uesugi Kotsugu even had an impulse to take all the family's ancient swords and go to Greenland right now. He was already an old man, and it wouldn't be a pity if he died. As long as he could help her, it would all be worth it!
But he couldn't leave, because countless eyes were now watching the Snake Clan, and he had to guard this place. Moreover, Erii's condition was deteriorating, and someone had to keep an eye on her. This crisis, beset by internal and external troubles, was clearly something that Genjiro couldn't handle alone.
But the anxiety in his heart could not be calmed. The old man paced back and forth, his face as cold as steel.
Kogure Sakurai stood quietly by her side, not saying a word, but the worry and unease in her eyes were undisguised. The atmosphere became extremely oppressive, and the only sound in the room was the roar of the machines.
But at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Genjiro strode in with a cold face, standing directly in front of Uesugi Etsuyoshi, and said in a low voice:
"It's terrible! Princess Kaguya just received an email from Kassel College. The college is about to send someone to visit the young girl. It is said to be her tutor, Professor Schneider."
Uesugi Koshi frowned: "When?"
"It's already on its way." Genjiro: "It's expected to arrive tomorrow."
"Can we refuse?" Sakurai Kogure asked. "There's no news of Wakame at the moment, so she definitely can't make it back in time."
“No, Professor Schneider is the head of the executive department and is known for his ruthless methods. He never gives up until he achieves his goal. Besides, Norma said that he was sent by the principal to visit the students.”
“This must mean that Kassel College suspects something. If Professor Schneider comes and doesn’t see the girl, it will be hard to explain.”
“Angers.” Uesugi Kotsushi gritted his teeth, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. “That old bastard must have discovered something.”
"The academy seems to have been monitoring the Greenland ice sea for years, and they must have noticed those anomalies, but I don't know why they would suspect the young girl."
At this point, Genji paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Their arrival this time is not well-intentioned."
“Let’s just rebel.” Sakurai Kogure gritted her teeth. This seemingly charming girl spoke with ruthless ruthlessness: “Who wants to be their Japanese branch? Kill whoever comes. The whereabouts of the young girl must not be exposed!”
Nobody knows what's going on in Greenland right now. If the Academy gets involved, the situation will likely become even more complicated.
Sakurai Kogure will not allow anything to threaten Genjiro.
Uesugi Koshi wore a thoughtful expression, but it was anything but pleasant.
Under his leadership, the Snake Clan has become increasingly united and powerful, and they no longer need to rely on Kassel College. In a real fight, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. They still retain the name of the Japanese branch only because of Genji.
It seems that Genji has other plans for Kassel College. Uesugi Kotsushi had vaguely heard her mention it before. It seems that there are a few students there who are very important and useful.
Most importantly, Genji had asked him to send someone to Beijing, China to find a female high school student, but they found no trace of her. Genji seemed somewhat disappointed, but not for long. What did she say at the time?
It seems to be saying, "Then let's wait for that guy to come to the academy himself."
In conclusion, although Genji never told Uesugi Kotsugi her specific plans, through these clues, Uesugi Kotsugi understood that Kassel College was still useful to Genji, and not just something she wanted for a degree...
Okay, by the way, it might also be partly due to my educational background, but that's definitely only a tiny bit, not much at all.
Therefore, since he can't contact Genji now, if they directly betray Kassel College and break with the college, Uesugi Etsushi is unsure whether it will disrupt Genji's plans. This is what makes him hesitate.
Just as he was pondering, Genji spoke up: "Let's wait until Chizuru returns before deciding on our relationship with the academy."
Genjiro and Uesugi were clearly thinking the same thing; they didn't want to be a burden to the girl anymore, because they had already been a burden enough.
Sakurai Kogure was a little annoyed. This girl, who was always gentle and considerate in front of Genji, was anything but gentle when facing others.
In many instances, Sakurai Kogure was even more ruthless and decisive in killing than Genjiro. These were habits she developed when she was Ryoma in the Oni Clan, and quite a few people died at her hands during those years.
Uesugi sighed softly and comforted the irritable girl with a few words, but he was also a little worried. He and Angers were old friends, and he knew that Angers would definitely take further action after this situation.
If you don't want things to fall apart for now, you have to come up with a result that satisfies Angers, otherwise that old man won't be easily appeased.
However, just as Uesugi was feeling a bit of a headache, he suddenly saw Genjiro, who was frowning, standing to the side.
Uesugi had felt increasingly unhappy and helpless with his son, often feeling that he was less manly than his sister, who was indecisive, fussy, and sometimes even a bit effeminate.
But at this moment, looking at this effeminate and handsome boy, Uesugi Etsu's eyes suddenly lit up.
“Chisei…” Uesugi Kotsushi rubbed his hands together, a smile appearing on his aged face: “I know you’ve always felt sorry for your sister. Now there’s a good opportunity to make amends. I wonder if you’re willing.”
Yuan Zhisheng was slightly taken aback, and a very ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
……
Flames swept across the sky, but the petite girl simply shook her head.
Are you going to break your oath?
Leviathan uttered cryptic words and, at the last moment before being engulfed by flames, leaped into the dark depths of the sea.
Countless flames melted the glacier, eventually falling into the water and creating a cloud of intense steam, but they didn't even touch the girl's clothes.
Water is the greatest enemy of fire-type incantations. The symbol of incantations is a pentagram. The five elements of earth, water, wind, fire, and spirit restrain each other. Fire-type incantations can pass through many barriers, but it is difficult to pass through water.
A man can melt a glacier, but he cannot burn down the ocean.
The powerful, high-pitched roar of the whale rang out again, and a huge shadow swam back and forth in the seawater. A barefoot girl stood on the head of the giant whale.
Leviathan's eyes burned with a fiery golden light. She raised her hand towards the figure on the water's surface and clenched it tightly one last time.
As she moved, the entire sea began to boil, the seawater surging and roaring, a tsunami as large as a mountain surging towards the burning figure.
Mixed in with those tens of thousands of tons of seawater was an extremely terrifying cold.
This monarch, who rules over the sea and water, finally took things seriously when facing an enemy of equal caliber.
All the seawater and extreme cold melted and evaporated about two meters away from the man, as if there was an invisible layer of dark fire there.
The scorching seawater flowed at high speed over the barrier, gathering more and more, while sharp ice blocks futilely crashed against it, like a swarm of moths drawn to a flame.
The man didn't move, but the terrifying domain rapidly expanded from him, filled with raging flames and countless black fire snakes swimming around him, illuminating the entire world as bright as day, like a blazing sun.
All the glaciers were red-hot, the seawater near the man was boiling, and scorching white vapor hung in the air, as if getting too close would burn you; it was as if the whole world was on fire.
But at that moment, the giant whale let out a long roar, and Leviathan's blade-like weapon, made entirely of black ice, reappeared in his hand. As the whale rose and fell, Leviathan swung the blade fiercely, and instantly, extreme cold swept over everything.
Nine enormous serpents, composed entirely of ice, appeared out of thin air. They roared silently and charged fiercely at the man in the flames.
Everything the giant serpent passed through was frozen, but when the temperature reached its lowest point, a violent explosion suddenly occurred.
But before the snakes could even get close to the man, merely entering that invisible realm, they were devoured by the roaring flames.
The temperature within the domain had reached a terrifying level, causing all the nearby seawater to evaporate instantly, creating a vacuum zone. The man, engulfed in flames, stood in the very center of the domain, and around him, even space itself seemed to distort.
The man stretched out his hand, and intense flames condensed in it. Strangely shaped, jet-black weapons appeared out of thin air from the flames, gleaming with a cold, austere light under their illumination.
With a wave of his hand, the man sent these glowing, still-burning weapons hurtling into the deep sea. Leviathan raised his hand and created a massive iceberg in an attempt to block them, but it only slowed down the weapons.
The giant whale's massive body couldn't dodge in time and was deeply pierced by the terrifying weapon, raising its head and letting out a sharp roar.
Its mountain-like body churned in the ocean, fire and water mingled wildly, extreme cold and intense heat collided, glaciers melted and solidified, and even the entire sea boiled, like a pot of porridge that had been thoroughly boiled.
Fingel was carrying the completely unconscious Genji on his back and running as fast as he could when he saw this scene and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because it was a scene straight out of hell, like the end of the world.
Chapter 147 My Name is Norton
The glacier, hundreds of meters thick, melted completely, the seawater boiled, and the entire dark ocean was stirred up.
Two equally terrifying domains were unfolded. At the edge where extreme cold and scorching heat met, a layer of air was clearly visible. White ice exuding a chilling aura and black fire snakes of thousands of degrees collided on it. The bright parts were dazzlingly bright, and the dark parts were like black holes.
The extreme cold of Leviathan evaporated the moment it approached the man, and even the massive tsunami, as large as a hill, could not get close. White steam filled the air, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in mist.
But this is the ocean, Leviathan's home ground.
The girl stood barefoot on the head of a giant whale, and with every move she made, mountains collapsed and tsunamis surged.
The man frowned. He was at a great disadvantage in this environment, while Leviathan seemed to be thriving. In addition, he had just woken up, and a jumble of memories flooded back. There were still too many things to resolve.
When he was in a fit of extreme rage, he didn't bother to think too much. Now that he had calmed down after venting his anger, he realized that now was not the time for them to fight.
Compared to him, Leviathan seemed much calmer. From the beginning, she tried to avoid conflict. Later, when there was no way to avoid it, she simply hid in the deep sea and used her spiritual power, and was unwilling to make direct contact at all.
But wars between kings can only be fought with bloodshed.
While not entirely useless, the power of words is truly ineffective. Aside from creating a somewhat spectacular scene during intense battles, it can only serve as a form of catharsis, which is better than nothing.
In other words, Leviathan was just playing along and venting his frustrations; neither of them was really serious.
As the man gradually regained consciousness, he took a deep look at Leviathan in the deep sea, then suddenly turned and left.
The girl standing on the giant whale's head blinked upon seeing this and, as expected, did not chase after it. She reached out and pressed her hand against the boiling, turbulent seawater in front of her, as if she were reaching out to stroke a wronged and irritable cat.
In an instant, the sea calmed down, and everything calmed down.
A chill spread from the girl, the melted ice mountains gradually reappeared, and fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. The whole world was once again enveloped in pure white and frozen again, as if nothing had ever happened.
Everything returned to normal, as if the terrifying tremors and extreme heat were just an illusion, merely a malfunction of the testing equipment.
Meanwhile, Fingel was carrying Genjiro on his back and running wildly.
Thanks to Old Tang, who inexplicably became angry, his frozen winter clothes warmed up considerably. He picked them up and put them on without any discomfort, but even if there was any discomfort, he could only endure it under the circumstances.
Those two obviously inhuman creatures looked like they were about to overturn the entire icy sea. Fingel thought it best for him, a mere mortal, to retreat first, lest he be caught in the crossfire.
The only problem was that he could no longer feel the girl's warmth behind him. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, he would have suspected that he was carrying a corpse.
However, even though there were still some fluctuations, her breathing seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, as if she was exhaling more than inhaling, and it seemed that she would stop breathing completely at any time.
In such a harsh environment, Fingel was completely helpless. Not to mention that he had no medical skills, even if he did, he had no means to help. The place was covered in ice and snow, and all he could see was a solemn expanse of white.
Moreover, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the chill seemed to be chasing after me from behind. The bone-chilling cold was so intense that even my winter clothes couldn't keep out it. The scariest thing was that something seemed to be rushing towards me from behind.
Fingel didn't even dare to turn his head. Feeling the terrible cold, he could only curse in his heart: "Damn it, is Old Tang dead? Why is that little ice sculpture still chasing me?"
