Chapter 1121 The King of Sky and Wind (Two in One, please subscribe!!!)

"Although the college doesn't have a branch in the Arctic Circle, the Russian branch and the North American branch are both strong branches with many experienced veterans." Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "No matter how short-staffed the college is, no matter how crazy Professor Schneider and the top management are, they wouldn't send a sophomore to the Arctic Circle, right?"

"The academy did not assign me." Xia Mi paused and said, "I volunteered."

"Volunteering?" Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand.

"Yes." Xia Mi nodded and said, "The Executive Department did not assign me to take over this mission. I heard about the content of the mission and took the initiative to recommend myself to Professor Schneider."

"Wait a minute." Lu Mingfei suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xia Mi's narration. His brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he noticed something wrong.

"I have two questions about what you said just now." Lu Mingfei held up two fingers, and he looked at Xia Mi and asked, "First, you said that you were not assigned a mission, but you heard about the mission content? But almost all the missions related to dragons in the academy are confidential and marked in red, right? The execution department will not take the initiative to disclose the mission content before the mission is carried out? It's strange that you know about the existence of this mission, right?"

"This isn't hard to explain." Xia Mi said lightly, "I've never given up trying to find out about Kassel College's movements and secrets."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"What's so strange about this? Kassel Academy is a hybrid, and I am a dragon. We are not on the same side." Xia Mi asked Lu Mingfei, "Although due to my relationship with Chu Zihang and you, I will not attack you and I don't have any ill intentions towards you, but from the perspective of the macro species, Kassel Academy and I are still fundamentally opposing enemies, right?"

"I'm not saying that I'm going to attack Kassel College, but if my identity is exposed one day, do you think Principal Ange will let me go? Do you think the top secret party leaders will let me go? I know Chu Zihang and you will probably stand on my side, but that doesn't mean I have to lose my vigilance and caution towards all hybrids." Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei with a calm tone, "We dragons don't even trust our own kind. Being able to trust certain individuals among humans is already my limit. The idea of ​​doing this is just for self-defense. If Kassel College really declares war on me one day, I will never sit back and wait for death."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. He could probably guess what Xia Mi was thinking, but he didn't expect Xia Mi to express it to him so directly... Xia Mi must always be on guard against the secret party. Although after experiencing the incident on the capital's subway, Xia Mi was no longer too hostile to humans, the fundamental contradiction between dragons and the secret party was irreconcilable, so her approach was cautious and reasonable.

Was the girl who said this Xia Mi? Or Jörmungandr? A year had passed, and Lu Mingfei still couldn't figure it out. If it was Jörmungandr who said this, it would be understandable, but if it was Jörmungandr, why did she confess this to Lu Mingfei? Would a pure dragon confess her true feelings to a human being, even though this human was her best friend?

It seems that at least the human side of her character has subtly overwhelmed her dragon nature.

"You're right." Lu Mingfei nodded, agreeing with Xia Mi's statement. He retracted a finger and said, "My second question is, why did Professor Schneider agree to let you participate in the mission?"

"I have met Professor Schneider many times, and I have a general understanding of his character. He will not allow an inexperienced freshman to participate in the mission, right? Even if your bloodline is qualified." Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, "And I know a little about Professor Schneider's past. He has always had a fear and revenge mentality towards the dragons in the polar deep sea, so he should send someone he thinks is safe and has enough experience. If you take the initiative to mention the mission to him, given Professor Schneider's character, he will definitely doubt where you got the mission information from, right?"

"There's something not quite right in my expression," Xia Mi corrected. "From my perspective, I volunteered to participate in this mission, but from Professor Schneider's perspective, he actually took the initiative to select me to participate in this mission."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

"It means that I showed Professor Schneider my abilities." Xia Mi explained to Lu Mingfei, "I made Professor Schneider think that I was the most suitable candidate for this mission. My abilities far outweighed my shortcomings as a freshman and my lack of experience, so he had no choice but to select me for this mission."

"What ability?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Since we are in the polar sea, shouldn't underwater ability be the most important?" Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "I also know about Professor Schneider's past. He encountered dragons in Greenland. It was a new team led by Professor Schneider, but only one and a half of them came back alive. This incident has become a nightmare that Professor Schneider will never get rid of. He focuses on underwater missions, especially those related to dragons in Greenland."

"That's right." Lu Mingfei nodded. He didn't expect that Xia Mi had actually found out all of this.

"I also know that you and Chu Zihang carried out an underwater mission a year ago. The target of the mission was the Bronze City where Constantine was. The original candidates for that mission should have been Senior Brother Ye Sheng and Senior Sister Jiude Aki, but you later replaced them." Xia Mi added to Lu Mingfei, "And at that time, as a freshman, you convinced Professor Mans, Professor Schneider and the entire executive department with your stronger bloodline and stronger underwater collaborative combat capabilities."

"Junior sister, it's a waste of your talent if you don't work in the Intelligence Bureau." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

"So if I want to participate in this mission, I have to show Professor Schneider my underwater combat ability, and it must be so strong that he can't ignore it." Xia Mi snapped her fingers, "So I bribed a senior sister who was originally scheduled to carry out the mission. I used some methods to persuade her to withdraw from this mission and recommend me to Professor Schneider."

"Is it that simple?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Of course...it's not just that simple. We all know Professor Schneider's character. He is cautious and arbitrary, and he is rarely affected by external factors when he makes a decision." Xia Mi said, "So when Professor Schneider heard my name at first, his subconscious reaction was to refuse. But I had already convinced that senior sister that she could not participate in the mission, so Professor Schneider had to look for a new candidate."

"What a good move to remove the fuel from under the cauldron." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Professor Schneider asked the vice-president for the list of swimming class grades, and my score has never fallen below first place." Xia Mi puffed out her chest and said with a slightly proud tone.

"In fact, the ranking of vice-presidents doesn't seem to be based entirely on swimming skills." Lu Mingfei muttered a few words in a low voice. He looked at Xia Mi and asked, "So, Junior Sister, you haven't been preparing for this a long time ago, right?"

"That's not the case. I'm a pretty good swimmer." Xia Mi said, "and I also took the college's winter swimming class. My teacher evaluated me as having outstanding talent and being able to reach the level of a professional athlete in ten years in just one semester. With these two guarantees, at least I've entered Professor Schneider's sight and been included in his list of considerations." "Your thinking is really meticulous." Lu Mingfei praised.

"Sure enough, not long after, the Executive Department summoned me. The reason was that the Executive Department was going to hold an underwater selection competition to select a candidate to replace that senior sister." Xia Mi said, "The content of the competition is to test the target's combat and escape capabilities in harsh icy water. My excellent results and the subconscious influence left by my senior sister introducing me to Professor Schneider finally took effect."

"So you stood out in the end?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Not only did I stand out, I crushed everyone." Xia Mi raised his head and said, "My vital capacity is three times that of the first place in the executive department, and my equipment-free diving time is four times more. I passed the underwater escape test perfectly, and I solved every combat test in less than two minutes."

“Junior sister, you are really...capable.” Lu Mingfei was at a loss for words to describe his ability to complain.

"I have demonstrated a stronger force than the entire team. Professor Schneider has no reason not to choose me. Even though he thinks I have only been in school for a short time and have little experience, the final say is still in the hands of capable people." Xia Mi paused, "In this respect, the human world and the dragon world are no different, except that the dragon world is sometimes more direct and cruel."

Lu Mingfei was speechless.

"Do you find it strange?" Xia Mi asked, "How come I, who is known as the king of the earth and mountains, have such strong underwater combat capabilities?"

"I wouldn't ask such a stupid question." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "Dragon King-level beings are good at and bad at certain elements, but that's only relative to other beings of the same level. No matter what, dragons' control over any element is far stronger than that of ordinary hybrids."

"That's exactly what happened." Xia Mi nodded and admitted, "To be honest, I am best at strength and earth elements, followed by wind, then water, and finally fire. But even with the fire element, which I am least good at, my performance is at least stronger than Chu Zihang's 'Jun Yan' before the 'Dragon Blood Baptism'."

This is the top existence among dragons. The ability of hybrids can be said to depend on their affinity for elements. Generally speaking, the higher the bloodline, the stronger the affinity for elements, and the higher the sequence number of the Word Spirit they possess... But for Dragon Kings, it is no longer a question of whether they have affinity with elements. They are originally the controllers of certain elements, or the incarnation of certain elements. Their innate advantages are overwhelming compared to hybrids.

Lu Mingfei had been completely convinced by Xia Mi, but his eyes still stayed on Xia Mi. In addition to what he had just asked, he actually had another point that he was confused about.

"I know what you want to ask me." Xia Mi understood Lu Mingfei's eyes and took the initiative to say to him, "You want to know why I am so actively involved in this mission. Do I know something about the Arctic from the beginning?"

“Junior sister, you are so smart that it’s a bit scary.” Lu Mingfei sighed.

"I won't hurt you, what are you afraid of?" Xia Mi rolled her eyes, then she said seriously, "I did know something about the North Pole from the beginning, and it was a long, long time ago, much longer than the time when Kassel Academy was founded."

"The secret of the Arctic is related to Odin." Lu Mingfei said calmly.

Even Xia Mi didn't notice that Lu Mingfei's sentence was no longer a question, but a statement.

"Well, there has actually always been a Nibelung in the Arctic Circle." Xia Mi nodded.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other, neither of them showed any expression of excessive surprise.

"Your human civilization actually has records of this Nibelungen. In myths and legends, it is called the 'Isle of Death' or 'Avalon', a place that the living cannot reach. The legendary King Arthur got a second life there." Xia Mi explained, "These legends are all based on facts. Whether it is the 'Isle of Death' or 'Avalon', it is a real place, independent of the real world. The Nibelungen has existed in the Arctic Circle since ancient times. It belongs to the great king of sky and wind."

Sure enough, their previous guess was correct. The owner of the Nibelung must be related to Odin.

"You should know that there are twins on the throne, just like me and Fenrir, Norton and Constantine, the Sky King and the Wind King are also twin dragon kings, and the Odin you mentioned is just one of them." Xia Mi said, "The difference with me and Fenrir, Norton and Constantine is that we all have the idea of ​​eating each other, but we have never come to this step for so many years. But the Sky and Wind Twins have been determined to devour each other from the beginning."

"Why haven't they reached this point after so long?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Is it because they have never decided the winner?"

"No, it's because they reached an agreement with each other." Xia Mi shook her head.

"Agreement?" Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

"I don't know the specific content of the agreement. I just heard about it." Xia Mi said, "The party that completes the agreement first has the right to devour the other party. It seems that Odin wants to take a different path from the other one, so he left Nibelungen in the Arctic and came to this city."

"But Odin seems to be no longer in this city." Lu Mingfei said.

"Yes, that's why he asked Uncle Chu to stay in this city to replace him. He started looking for a candidate a long time ago." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Because one day he will leave here and return to the Arctic, but he can't completely give up this Nibelungen, and Uncle Chu is the best candidate."
