During their journey, Fingel quietly approached Genji and whispered, "How are you?"
Yuan Zhinv shook her head: "I haven't noticed anything unusual yet, but this kind of power doesn't seem to be something an ordinary person would have."
“She doesn’t look like a local Inuit, but there have always been Danes here,” Fingel explained quietly, revealing his thorough preparation. “Besides, the people here are religious and not very polite to outsiders.”
"It's not exactly polite," Yuan Zhinv said casually. "Let's see first."
After a brief exchange, neither of them spoke again, but their gazes lingered on the girl, seemingly unintentionally.
Yuan Zhinu actually had some doubts. With Old Tang as a living example, it was hard not to associate this suddenly appearing guy with the Dragon King.
Even if he wasn't the Dragon King, the possibility of him being an ordinary person was very small. Rather than believing that this guy was just an ordinary person and that it was an accidental encounter, Genji was more willing to think about more complex things.
For example, this guy might have deliberately created a commotion to attract their attention, or he might have been waiting for them from the beginning.
Of course, these are all speculations, but the only thing that is certain is that this girl is very strong, regardless of whether she is a mixed-race or not.
At least from watching her chop down the polar bear, it seemed like she wasn't even using her full strength. She handled it with such ease, not even bothering to hide, which shows that she has absolute confidence in dealing with those top predators on the ice field.
Faced with overwhelming strength, there's no need to be overly cautious; why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Yuan Zhinv believed that Fingel had also seen through these things, which was why he asked to be taken in. He probably wanted to observe further.
I just don't know how much this girl has been hiding.
The three followed the girl and soon arrived at a small village. The entire village was backed by an ice ridge, and the upper part was completely covered by snow, with only a little dim light visible inside.
By this time, it was completely dark. The group dragged the polar bear into the village, and the villagers, hearing the commotion, rushed out.
There were about a dozen people circling around the polar bear's carcass, all looking very excited and speaking in a language that Genji could not understand at all.
The aloof girl simply said a few words, and then everyone looked over, scrutinizing the three of them.
“This is Greenlandic,” Fingel whispered. “They’re all praising this girl. They call her Little Yi. Little Yi just introduced us, saying she picked us up off the street.”
"You can even understand Greenlandic?" Old Tang looked surprised. "Wow, that's impressive, bro!"
"Oh, not at all. I just crammed a few lines before coming here," Fingel said modestly. "I'm only so-so."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhinv nodded: "Since you are so capable, then the task of gathering information will be entrusted to you."
Fingel was a little speechless, but he didn't refuse. Seeing that someone was coming up to settle them in, he took the initiative to go over. Genji's gaze followed the girl the whole time.
The girl remained indifferent, turning away without even glancing at them, as if it were none of her business whether they were kicked out or taken in; she had already done more than enough by bringing them back.
For some reason, Yuan Zhinv always felt that something was wrong with this girl, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
It's unclear how Fingel communicated, but the villagers, who initially looked unfriendly, quickly accepted them. The three of them were then settled in the same room, and the villagers generously shared some fuel and firewood with them.
"Wow, bro, how did you do that?" Looking at the small stove that was burning, Old Tang exclaimed in amazement, "I encountered these locals when I came to Greenland last time. Wow, they had such bad tempers. I felt like they would kill me if I ran too slow."
"These locals may seem dangerous, and in fact they are not very safe either, because of the harsh living conditions and their beliefs, they are not very welcoming to outsiders."
"But also because of their faith, they tend to believe in supernatural things. When I told them that the snow stopped as soon as we arrived, they thought we were a symbol of good luck and were willing to let us stay for one night."
"You can do that?" Old Tang was even more surprised: "What about the girl?"
"Her name is Xiao Yi. She is an orphan who was taken in by the village chief. She has a rather withdrawn personality, but she is the best hunter in the village and can hunt polar bears on her own."
As Fingel spoke, he took out a heavy mechanical phone from his backpack and said to Genji, "You have a signal transmitter, right? Can I borrow it?"
Without asking why, Yuan Zhinv casually tossed it over.
"Oh! Great." After a series of operations, Fingel's phone slowly turned on, and he quickly tapped a bunch of buttons.
There's no other way; we have to use the little bit of electricity as quickly as possible. Obviously, there's no electricity in this village, and the battery won't last long in the extremely cold temperature. That little bit of power will be used up very quickly.
Yuan Zhinv didn't ask Fingel what he was doing; she simply walked behind him and quietly watched him operate the device.
Only Old Tang was still sighing to himself: "I felt it was really dangerous back then, but I didn't expect it to be just a few bears... No, polar bears are quite dangerous too. It's just that you guys are too strong, which makes them seem weak..."
But before Old Tang could finish speaking, Fingel interrupted him.
“No, that’s not right.” Fingel’s expression turned serious as he looked at his phone screen. “Your hunch was right; it’s not the bear that’s dangerous.”
"I just intercepted the signal here, and guess what I found?"
Old Tang was taken aback: "What?"
“Someone is tipping us off,” Fingel said, opening his phone to show a single sentence displayed on the intercepted message:
—Target spotted, three people in total.
Here's a guessing game: what could this beautiful girl be? (*▽*)
Chapter 134 Leviathan, King of the Ocean and Water
Looking at that short line of text, Old Tang was shocked, while Yuan Zhinv and Fingel showed no expression and were not surprised at all, as if they had expected it.
The two exchanged a glance, and Fingel smiled: "It seems you don't really trust her either."
Yuan Zhinv shrugged: "Aren't you the same?"
Nobody's a fool. This guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was so mysterious—only Old Tang probably really thought it was a chance encounter.
"Is it possible to trace who the message was sent to?" Yuan Zhinv asked.
“The equipment is too rudimentary; it won’t work.” Fingel said nonchalantly, “But it’s not hard to guess, is it?”
Yuan Zhinu nodded; it wasn't hard to guess after all.
She and Fingel had made thorough preparations before coming here, the most important of which was to completely conceal their tracks. Perhaps they would be noticed by others later because of the commotion they caused here, but at least for now, no one should be so well-informed.
Aside from a very few members of the Snake Clan, the only person who knew they would definitely come was the one who sent the invitation.
"How much do you know about the Crown Prince?" Yuan Zhinu asked Fingel, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping across the man's face, only to see that his expression remained unchanged, seemingly unaffected by the name.
"Ah, actually I don't know much either." Fingel looked innocent: "Junior, you know me, I usually only like to gossip about campus gossip, and I rarely know about things outside."
Yuan Zhinü watched him pretend quietly. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes said it all.
Fingel quickly gave in, shrugging in resignation: "Alright, alright, I do know a little bit. I enrolled quite early, so I've heard about that incident."
"What's going on?" Old Tang asked curiously as he leaned closer. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Fingel smiled and pushed away Old Tang's face that was leaning in: "Go play somewhere else, good brother. You wouldn't understand anyway, so be good."
Old Tang's eyes widened, his face showing an insult, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized he really couldn't understand it, and he said sullenly, "I don't care to listen to it anyway!"
He went to sleep in a huff. His easygoing nature is a major reason why he has always maintained a peaceful state of mind while doing tasks over the years. He usually believes in living for the moment and taking it easy when he falls down. He has a very good mindset.
Yuan Zhinv didn't bother arguing with this clown and continued looking at Fingel: "Now that you're here, shouldn't you share some information?"
"Of course, that's why you called me here."
Fingel appeared quite composed. He knew perfectly well that the girl in front of him had almost no connection with him, yet she had invited him to Greenland because she thought he was useful.
Although the Greenland coastal incident was tragic and the information left behind was top secret, as long as information was left behind, there was a chance that it could be found.
This girl must know something, such as that he is one of the only two survivors, which is why she thought of inviting him. After all, no one in this world knows what happened back then better than someone who experienced it firsthand, and no one understands the Crown Prince better than him.
only……
"Before I tell you the answer you want to know, I have a question for you." This guy, who always joked around and seemed very unserious, suddenly became serious.
In that instant, he seemed like a different person; Yuan Zhinu actually saw a hint of majesty in his goofy face.
The man asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Why does the Crown Prince want to see you?"
"And why did you come to Greenland?"
"I can tell you without hesitation that the Crown Prince is my enemy. If he were standing in front of me right now, I would cut off his head on the spot."
"As for why I came to Greenland..." Yuan Zhinu calmly raised her eyes, her expression and tone completely flat, as cold as the snow outside the window: "Of course, it's because Greenland has what I need."
"what?"
"No comment."
As the girl's name fell coldly, the atmosphere became extremely tense. The only sounds in the room were the crackling of the campfire and the howling wind and snow outside the window.
The two stood facing off without backing down, and for a moment, even Old Tang, who was huddled to the side, thought they were about to fight.
However, they ultimately did not fight.
"Alright, alright, the senior should always give way to the junior." Fingel broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere first, shrugging with a helpless expression: "I'll believe you for now, so let's consider ourselves on the same side for the time being."
"I have been searching for news about the Crown Prince all these years, but unfortunately, I have no clues. On the Hunter website, this is undoubtedly an old ID that has been registered for a long time. Except for the sudden appearance of the account ten years ago to post news about the Greenland Sea, this account has never appeared again."
“It’s as if he was specifically delivering intelligence to the academy, and once the intelligence was delivered, the mission was complete, and he disappeared, just like this time.” Fingel looked at Genjiro. “Your current situation is a complete replica of what happened ten years ago.”
Yuan Zhinv nodded: "The method is a bit simplistic, but it is effective."
"Ten years ago, he threw out enough bait to lure the academy into interrupting the incubation of the embryo. Now he has appeared again and told me that there is an embryo incubation. So I came."
At this point, Yuan Zhinv frowned: "Why does it feel like he's been watching this embryo the whole time? If he knows everything, why doesn't he do it himself? Why does he have to use someone else to do the dirty work?"
Fingel suddenly interrupted her: "Your target is the embryo?"
Yuan Zhinü readily admitted, "Yes."
"Do you know where it is?"
"It's not clear yet."
“Even if there are embryos hatching, they couldn’t possibly still be in Greenland,” Fingel said with certainty. “After that incident ten years ago, the Academy has been closely monitoring this area, and they’ve searched almost the entire sea area, but they haven’t found any abnormal heartbeats.”
"Junior, you might have been scammed."
“It’s just that there’s no heartbeat,” said Yuan Zhinv. “What if there’s something else wrong? That’s why I came; I had to find out for myself.”
"Moreover, I have a feeling that the Crown Prince is watching me right now. If I can find him, then this trip will not have been in vain."
Fingel fell silent, then suddenly laughed: "Junior, I'm finding you more and more interesting."
"Each each other."
Fingel lazily turned off his phone and tossed the transmitter back to Yuan Zhinv: "I've released this message. Guess who it will attract?"
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Zhinu lay down with her head on the sword, closed her eyes, and casually said, "Whatever comes, I'll kill."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's really violent." Fingel muttered, finding a place to curl up as well. "The people who come here better not disappoint me."
Silent all night.
The next day, when Yuan Zhinu woke up, only Old Tang was still fast asleep in the room, completely carefree. Fingel was nowhere to be found.
