"What's wrong?" Charlotte suddenly stopped when she saw Xi Ziyue.

"It's nothing, I was a little nervous." Xi Ziyue took a deep breath and her expression froze for a moment.

"There is really no other way, so I have to be the first one." Charlotte was very magnanimous and walked ahead.

Xi Ziyue sighed helplessly and had no choice but to follow behind him.

Of course she was not nervous, but felt the presence of Constantine, whose keel cross was located in the deepest part of the ice cellar.

Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Xi Ziyue could clearly feel its sanctity and majesty. One can imagine how noble it was during its lifetime.

But it is indeed dead. The dead Dragon King is just a pile of withered bones. No matter how noble he was in life, it will be useless.

Xi Ziyue followed Charlotte, and the two walked together on the stairs leading to the depths. The cold breath surrounded them, and every breath was filled with white mist.

"Here we are, the first floor of the ice cellar."

Charlotte raised the flashlight high, and a circle of bright light shone on the steel gate in front of her.

Seeing the sign on the gate, the two of them took a deep breath, tightened their masks and took two steps back.

An eye-catching nuclear radiation symbol was spray-painted on the gate.

"Are nuclear weapons stored here?" Xi Ziyue was a little confused.

According to Elizabeth, Kassel's tenured professors include several scientists who came out of Oak Forest, and they have tinkered with the world's first atomic bomb. Therefore, it is not surprising that Kassel has its own nuclear arsenal.

This is the ultimate weapon that human civilization has mastered to this day, and these dragon-slaying lunatics have no reason not to get involved.

"Probably. Angers often said that there is something that can destroy the world hidden in the ice cellar. The first reaction is naturally nuclear weapons. As for whether it is a nuclear warhead that can be put into actual combat immediately, it is unknown."

Charlotte took out a Geiger counter, and the reading on it was not optimistic.

"Don't worry, our protective clothing can resist nuclear radiation, and with the strength of our bloodline, it won't be affected even if we lie here naked for a while." Charlotte showed an indifferent expression and covered the cover.

The leather counter was put away.

"No, I'm worried whether they built these things to slay the dragon or fight a world war." Xi Ziyue shook her head.

"You are still too naive, Xi Ziyue." Charlotte shook her head.

"The last world war of mankind was actually 68 years ago. For hybrids with long lifespans, the war seems to have happened yesterday."

Charlotte continued: "For example, Principal Angers, Vice Principal Flamel, Henkel, the leader of the North American mixed race, my butler Alfred... Some of them have experienced more than

Having experienced World War II and even World War I, what do you think war means to them?"

Xi Ziyue's heart moved.

For them, the war happened yesterday...or it could happen tomorrow!

"They have personally been in war, fired guns, been shot, shed blood, and experienced the long era of nuclear deterrence in the Cold War. No one knows better than them what war is and what kind of disaster it will bring."

Speaking of this, Charlotte took a deep breath: "Peace is such a fragile thing. Some people say that in another twenty years, when the last person with memories of World War II dies, it will be the Third World War.

Start."

Xi Ziyue listened to these words silently. In her eyes, the steel door with the nuclear radiation symbol in front of her seemed to have turned into a door of war...or a door to hell.

It's best not to open that door, which is probably what most people expect.

"Do you understand?" Charlotte asked, thinking that the other person was a little girl and her understanding of macro narratives might be limited.

"I understand. In fact, I have always had a good reserve of political knowledge. My father often sells political literature from street stalls to me at the dinner table." Xi Ziyue replied.

This is what is hidden in the ice cellar. Just the first floor makes people's eyes tremble. Who knows what you will see if you continue to go down.

"Let's go, I don't know how many floors there are in the ice cellar, just go down." Charlotte continued to act, very optimistic.

Before leaving, Xi Ziyue glanced back at the door with the nuclear symbol, as if looking back at a silent god of death holding a sickle.

The two of them continued to go down despite the cold air, and soon reached the second floor.

The second floor is called the specimen room, which seems risk-free.

This time, the two of them could not suppress their curiosity and opened it with the key ability.

It is indeed filled with many specimens, but they are all specimens of the dragon subspecies. Executive Department specialists perform tasks around the world. After encountering incredible deformed creatures, they will choose to capture them alive and bring them to the academy for treatment if safety is ensured.

Research.

After being manipulated by Walter Alheim, these living creatures were basically dead in battle and were made into specimens and stored in this place.

At the end of this space is a broken dragon specimen, probably only the fourth generation of the species. Not surprisingly, it should be one of the treasures of Kassel Town School.

The third floor is the archives room, where ancient classics are stored. Some are scrolls and some are parchment rolls. They look dilapidated and seem to be destroyed by just blowing a breath.

These priceless historical materials are not placed on bookshelves, but are sealed in quartz glass. From a glance, they look like a museum collecting ancient books.

Xi Ziyue noticed a very special leather book. Its cover was actually inlaid with a string of bones, and the structure looked like fingers.

This string of finger bones is most likely the author's fingers.

The moment the author finished writing this book, he cut off his own finger and embedded it on the cover of the book, indicating that there would be no second copy of this book. You can imagine how crazy the content inside was.

"Ice Sea Fragments" is the treasure of this level. They are packed in jars with complicated patterns and sealed in low-temperature liquid ammonia. They are pieces of bronze fragments, recording the history related to the Dragon Clan. It is credible.

The level is quite high, and it is still a precious historical material for the Secret Party to study the history of the Dragon Clan.

The deeper you go, the more restless the trembling and restless factor becomes.

Along the way, the two of them have broadened their horizons. Although there is no breakthrough in the world view, their sense of novelty and curiosity have been greatly satisfied.

Xi Ziyue felt that she was walking on a pilgrimage road. The end of the road led to the Palace of Truth, and her whole body seemed to be moving forward involuntarily.

It is getting heavier and heavier. The sacred and majestic breath of death is like a magnificent piece of music that is constantly amplifying. A classical band of hundreds of people is playing deep in the ice cellar, and the song echoes in front of the king's tomb.

Xi Ziyue's profile has always been sensitive to the deceased.

But even the death aura of thousands of people in the Mayan pyramid just now was no match for the death aura of the Dragon King alone.

A feeling of frozen loneliness.

Anger and unwillingness.

warm sunlight.

Love and fire...

Many emotions are surging, like a huge tide, and the majestic meaning can drown Xi Ziyue's thoughts at any time.

Xi Ziyue simply turned off profiling to avoid unnecessary influence.

"We're here, on the last floor, I've already seen... Constantine's keel cross." Charlotte gasped.

The Well of Annihilation, the lowest level of the ice cellar, is as silent as an ancient cave, with only the ubiquitous sound of water.

Under the dual effects of the flashlight and golden eyes, Xi Ziyue could see her surroundings clearly.

The ground on this floor is actually paved with a thick layer of bronze. Deep grooves like dragons and snakes are intertwined on the ground. Dark blue water flows in the grooves, and they glow slightly.

The pattern formed by these deep grooves is like a prosperous old vine, branching, branching again, constantly branching into the church, and finally merging into the silent lake in front of it.

A circular altar protrudes from the center of the lake, and four chalk-colored stone pillars stand on all sides of the altar, suppressing the gods and demons in the middle like nails.

The dragon bone cross is in the center of the altar.

It sits on its knees in quartz glass filled with mercury, like a statue that has sunk at the bottom of the lake for thousands of years, full of the sacred meaning of a martyr.

Although it is dead, its majesty is still as heavy as steel.

Xi Ziyue and Charlotte stood there for a long time without realizing it.

"Is that thing really dead?" Xi Ziyue beeped in a low voice, very afraid that the dragon bone would suddenly open its eyes and shout, "I'll kill you with labor and management."

"It's really dead, otherwise we wouldn't be able to refine the pure fire element from it." Charlotte nodded.

She continued: "But to be honest, this is also the first time I have seen the dead Dragon King, and the body actually took on the shape of a cross."

Xi Ziyue re-examined the dragon bone cross...it was better to say it was the withered bones of a boy.

It glows with a heavy bronze color, and the skull's eyes are embedded with crystallized eyeballs, like a pair of glass gold beads.

Although it resembles a human skeleton, if you look closely, you will find that it has nearly a thousand bones, some of which are fused to each other, and some of which form organs that have never appeared in biology textbooks.

Two bunches of thin bones spread out behind it like a fan, which are its wings.

Its arms were stretched out, grabbing the wing bones behind it, and its head was lowered.

Like a martyr crucified on a cross, the cross is actually its wing bone.

Xi Ziyue was a little stunned and confused.

Cassel's textbooks, even Elizabeth, and even Angers constantly emphasized that dragons are not gods, but are ultimately a kind of creature with biological and genetic logic, so humans can defeat it with scientific methods, such as...

.Use the Storm Torpedo to give them a hard time.

But looking at the remains of the Dragon King in front of us, it's really hard to believe that they are actually a kind of creature.

It was clearly a scene of some kind of religious ceremony. It could be the death of an angel or the torture of a demon, but it was definitely not the remains of a dead creature.

actually......

Compared to advanced mysteries such as what Lu Mingze is and where Lu Mingfei is, there is an ultimate basic mystery that Xi Ziyue has always ignored.
To be continued...
