The Magician of Clow

Chapter 623 12 Awakening, Those Unexpected Things
the boat has stopped,
Probably because he received an order from his superiors to return to the voyage, Fangran walked in the corridor in front of the deck, listening to the busyness of the crew faintly heard through the steel pipes.

This is also expected, the Palace of Night entrenched in Europe cannot allow ordinary people to approach the North Pole at this time.

Breathing slowly, I could feel the closer to the door of the front deck, the more icy breath came from it.

If you take out the Scarlet Queen or call Veronica, you should be able to move on,

But forget it, it's just the difference between sooner and later, they can't be involved in their own affairs with huge losses.

Finally, he checked all the prepared things in the black box. Fangran lowered his black eyes and felt that he hadn't met himself who was so calm and planning to do something stupid for a long time.

Longyearbyen is about 1300 kilometers away from the North Pole. Taking into account more than half of the voyage time so far, at least he still needs to overcome a distance of more than 500 kilometers.

He raised his chin, put his hand into his collar and pressed the switch. The light of the zeroth generation of the closed person shone slightly on Fangran's body. The activation of the constant temperature life support system eliminated the coolness. The battle with Volta made him He completely believed in the power of these future technological equipment. Or should I say his own power.

Pushing open the door of the deck hard, he couldn't feel the icy air blowing his broken hair in an instant.
At the moment when the dense starry sky of the Arctic night suddenly unfolds in front of your eyes, the icy and magnificence shocks your soul deeply.
Fangran suddenly lost his ability to speak.

Hei Mou looked at this scene in a daze, and then a voice sounded from the side of the deck in surprise.

"Sir, it's you!?"

Surprisingly, this sentence was in Chinese that Fangran could understand.

Turning his head to look in the same accident, what appeared in his black eyes was a pale foreign youth wearing a thick white plush coat.

"you know me?"

Fangran subconsciously dispersed her dark eyes and slowly opened her eyes wide to look at him in disbelief. She didn't expect that anyone here would recognize her appearance.

"Yes, that night three days ago,"

And listening to Fangran's answer, the pale foreign youth, Kerim smiled softly.

"I'm on the same flight as you, sir."

His eyes dazed slightly and then slowly recovered, Fangran let out a breath of white air and looked at him with a smile:
"So it is."

"I'm also in the first class. I just happened to see how you subdue the gangster, sir. Please allow me to express my gratitude."

Hearing what he said, Fangran walked to the side of the ship on the deck beside him, looked up at the night sky full of stars because there were no lights, and then looked at the young man beside him who hadn't gone to sleep at this time.

He has a very handsome face. Even Fangran, who is different from Western aesthetics, can see that this young man has a smooth and smooth outline like a knife. Behind the glasses he wears, there is a quiet and charming charm in his eyes, but for some reason, his complexion is a little bit Pale pale.

"It's okay, I just happened to happen to."

Standing on the edge of the deck of the Beihai Bingyang, looking at the quiet sea surface of the Arctic Ocean under the night, and above the sleeping iceberg is the star-studded night sky, holding it above the cold guardrail, he asked him:
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

"I originally planned to sleep, but I suddenly felt insomnia in bed, and it's rare to see the night sky of the North Pole, isn't it?"

Fangran saw Kerim smiling at him. It was a very kind and ordinary smile, without much self-esteem. Unlike his outstanding appearance, he was a gentle and approachable young man.

"The night sky of the North Pole?"

Fangran looked up at the sky again. He had never seen such a grand and splendid sea of ​​stars. The beauty of the night was set off to the extreme by the tranquility of the North Pole.

"Yeah, it's really rare."

If I hadn't become a participant, I might not have seen such a night sky in my whole life.

In a quiet trance, Fangran suddenly felt a strange feeling.

because you see
He is now in the North Pole, on an icebreaker that is about to return home, the low temperature exceeds minus 35 degrees, and he is standing in front of the railing on the deck with a completely unfamiliar foreigner,
Watch the Arctic night sky together.

it's incredible
So Fangran suddenly wanted to chat with him, in the North Pole. With this foreign youth whom he had never met for the first time,

It's okay to say something, because he doesn't know when the next time he will talk to someone.

The night wind blew his clothes, and the broken ice floes on the sea floated quietly. Fangran turned his head to look at Kerim and asked softly with some curiosity.

"Why are you on this ship, are you an employee on board?"

Shaking his head, Kerim was silent for a while, then looked at Fangran with a smile and answered in a somewhat complicated tone:
"No, I'm actually a scientific researcher. I originally wanted to come with others this time,"

Fangran saw his smile as depressed and forced for some reason. He looked at the surface of the Arctic Ocean with his sunken eye sockets and smiled slightly:

"But the lady suddenly needed to stay in Oslo to deal with some matters, and then happened to see the news about the icebreaker, so I came up with some connections."

"Then you may be disappointed, because the ship is heading back tonight."

Fangran stared into his eyes, saw that Kerim's eyes widened slightly unexpectedly, and then regained his composure with a complex expression, lowered his head to look at the fence of the Beihai Bingyang and said in a low voice:
"That's a pity."

"Why do you come to the North Pole, for scientific research?"

Fangran turned around and leaned his arms on the railing, looked up at the peaceful Xinghai with nostalgia,
Two young men who didn't know each other's name were just chatting on the fence of the deck of the Beihai Bingyang,

One is looking at the ice sea, the other is looking up at the starry night
"Why do you want to come to the North Pole?"

Kerim propped himself up, staring at the far north, then lowered his head to hide a bitter chuckle:

“Probably because I want to see it with my own eyes.”

Fangran stared at Xinghai's eyes for a moment, and Kerim's voice sounded a little far away even though he was beside him.

"While it may seem strange to say that myself, there is one individual who has given me probably the highest level of education in the world for as long as I can remember,"

"But although many people say I am a genius, in the eyes of that person... or in the eyes of those people, I am just a failure joke that doesn't matter."

Kerim also felt a little unbelievable. He obviously didn't want to tell anyone about these things, and he didn't want to tell anyone.
But at this moment, maybe it was because he was in the lonely North Pole, or maybe it was the long years of depression that had finally reached the limit, but he started talking unconsciously in front of this strange black-haired young man and couldn't stop.

"He wanted me to be, but I didn't."

"so."

Pulling away the thick scarf that made him feel uncomfortable to breathe, Kerim looked at the north farther than here, and still felt that it was out of reach. Feeling tired, he said softly:
"I wanted to go there and see what it was like to be unreachable that I didn't get to be."

Fangran slowly opened his eyes wide, then silently turned to look at the pale young man.

Under the starry night at the North Pole, he didn't know how long he was silent before he spoke softly:
"So you gave up?"

Kerim shook his head and smiled silently:
"Because I know that it is really unbelievable that ordinary people can't touch. It can't be achieved by simple things like hard work and talent. It's unreachable on the other side of reality."

"It took me more than 20 years of meaningless life to understand this fact."

Fangran watched him remain silent, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Is it out of reach?
In the silent silence of the night, they seemed to be fascinated by each other thinking about their own affairs, and then the black-haired young man took the lead in exhaling softly, and spoke abruptly and calmly:
"I know a certain man. He died not long ago."

Eyes lowered for a moment, Fangran raised his head and wondered if the man had become a star, and then let out a long breath, as if talking to himself in a daze.

"He has a woman he loves, and his memory is full of her shadow. He has made a lot of efforts for this, even going crazy enough to become a villain, dirty his hands, and desperate,"

Kerim looked at the black-haired young man who was talking to himself in a daze, his eyes were somehow calm and complicated, and then he saw Fangran turn his head and look into his eyes, and said a calm word .

"I persisted for half a century, just to see that person."

Then Kerim watched him turn his gaze back, lowered his eyes, and spit out words that made the audience feel a little desperate without knowing the emotion in his tone.

"But he died without seeing it."

Fangran had a quiet expression on his face, and continued to speak as if there was no fluctuation in his tone:
"I went to the woman after that and she answered me very calmly that she would never meet him because she didn't love him."

Speaking of this, Kerim saw the dark young man around him laugh softly, but there was no smile in his downcast eyes.

"Then I realized that no matter how long that man persists, no matter how much he pays, even after half a century, he will not be able to succeed. The person he loves is really out of reach for him."

While saying this, the black-haired young man stood upright and walked towards the front of the deck.

"But is what he does meaningless? Doesn't he know that she doesn't love him? Is his life wasted if he keeps chasing someone who is out of reach?"

Kerim watched him walk forward step by step. Under the Arctic night, he was talking to himself what he had whispered in front of the figure in the dark blue dress one night.

"I don't understand love, and I don't understand the determination to sacrifice half a century of life for an impossible goal, but"

Walking to the front of the deck, Kerim saw the black-haired young man under the Polaris night looking back at him, his eyes all black.

"At least from him, I have gained even the most unattainable goal, even in the extreme north of the world,"

"The courage to go for someone who is extremely important to you."

The silver dragon wings spread out on his shoulders, the jewels on his collar reflected the moonlight, and the image of his dark eyes and clothes standing at the end of the icebreaker deck under the night sky of the ice sea was imprinted in Kerim's eyes in shock!

"So I can tell you without any doubt, as long as that's what you want,"

Just a second before watching him flapping his dragon wings and rushing into the starry night in disbelief, Kerim heard the participants who met him for the first time sound softly on the deck:
"No matter how far away it is, what you pay is not meaningless."

That's right, Arakawa himself must have thought so too.
Flying in the night sky in the extreme north of the world, his black eyes stared straight at the iceberg ocean in front of him, Fangran was fascinated by this idea, and then suddenly a feeling came, a blank card appeared in his hand, and half of the twins appeared on the board,
The black eyes widened incredulously slightly, and then slowly drooped down again. Putting away 1/2 of the awakened [Double Card], Fangran looked back at the icebreaker that was almost out of sight.
Forgot to ask his name.
　In the last volume, when I wrote the three plots of [Resurrection-Yesheng-Shui Linlang], a bunch of people said I was boring, please!Look at it now, it’s all foreshadowing, look at the plot during this period of time, I have been filling in the pit carefully and diligently (by the way, I dug the next hole), although there is still a foreshadowing of recovery left, but I will tell you frankly Yes, this chapter and the previous one, the accident that promotes the plot of this volume is the foreshadowing of the national war volume (if the expectation remains unchanged) Oh, I really put my heart into it, you don’t know that for these emotional dark lines, How many hairs did I scratch off
