Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"There are always all kinds of bizarre rumors about a world-famous person." Caesar whispered.

"The most sci-fi thing is a rumor I once saw online. British media reported an article that the US military launched a top-secret military operation the year after the end of World War II. They sent a large number of ships and aircraft to Antarctica. In fact, they were looking for the 'Aryan City' built by Xi Te Li in Antarctica." Chu Zihang said, "In fact, just after the end of World War II, some heads of state in the world began to suspect that Xi Te Li's suicide in the basement of the Prime Minister's Office was fabricated to confuse the public. They believed that Xi Te Li had actually escaped from the underground tunnel and fled to Argentina by submarine to a secret base in Antarctica, which was actually an underground base built in advance by his subordinates. Legend has it that Antarctica hides prehistoric creatures and the entrance to the inner world."

"I have heard of such rumors, although they are very bizarre." Caesar nodded and said, "As to whether the head of state is really dead, even the old man in the Gattuso family has not given a definite answer."

"I saw similar weird stories on forums when I was a kid, but... that's not right." Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke up. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "In all the rumors and weird stories, the underground base of Xiteli is in Antarctica, but Vincent's ship has been wandering in the Arctic Circle. Isn't this going in the wrong direction? This way he will never find the base of Xiteli in his life."

"It's not the South Pole, but the North Pole." Chu Tianjiao suddenly said in a very low voice.

"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"Vincent is going to the North Pole. What he is looking for is indeed in the North Pole." Chu Tianjiao looked at Lu Mingfei and said softly, "What he is looking for is not the base camp of the Xiteli... but 'eternal life'!"

"'Eternal life'?" This word not only stunned Lu Mingfei, but also Chu Zihang and Caesar.

"Yes, 'eternal life'." Chu Tianjiao repeated the word solemnly, "But rather than saying 'eternal life', it's better to say it's for 'rebirth', because Vincent is not doing it for himself. The old guy is not that concerned about longevity. He wants to revive someone."

"Is it rare?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes, I guessed it immediately, but I wanted to ask the old man about some things I hadn't figured out, but he took the initiative." Chu Tianjiao said, "Before I asked the question, Vincent suddenly looked into my eyes and asked me in a very sincere tone what my 'divine power' was."

"'Divine power'?" Chu Zihang thought for a moment, "Is Vincent talking about the spirit of words?"

"That's what I mean." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Vincent and I are like this. For people like us, everyone's abilities are their own privacy. Why should I tell him? Vincent said he could guess it without me telling him because he had just witnessed it with his own eyes. I killed his favorite woman, the dealer. But he was not angry at all because he witnessed my killing method with his own eyes. In his eyes, when I kill people, it is like art. It is extremely violent and bloody. He loves all kinds of art. Compared to seeing such a great moment, the death of a woman is nothing."

“This old guy is truly… a people’s artist.” Lu Mingfei said a very popular joke on the Internet, but apparently no one understood it.

"Vincent almost begged me. I didn't want to say it was okay, but he wanted me to show him my 'divine power' again. I said, how should I show it? Should I kill someone in front of him again? The room suddenly became quiet, and I could see that everyone's face was filled with vigilance and fear." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said there was no need to kill anyone, and that I must have relied on my 'divine power' to win the game. All I had to do was show him how to turn the cards prepared by the dealer into the '2' of hearts. I couldn't get away from him, so I could only use 'Time Zero' in front of him and use the same method to move the cards that had been shuffled away by the dealer back to the position I wanted. Who knew that Vincent cried again when he saw this scene? I really don't know how so many tears could come out of that old guy's shriveled body."

Everyone felt a strong contrast about Vincent. When they first heard about this old guy, they only felt that he was a sinister, cunning and unscrupulous old fox. But an old guy who had lived for so long kept crying in front of a young stranger... After complaining for a long time, they felt that this old crybaby actually had a kind of inexplicable contrasting cuteness.

"But you actually showed it to him." Chu Zihang was a little surprised at Chu Tianjiao's "indulgence" of Vincent.

"I can't help it. If you were there, you would also be annoyed by the old guy. He is too annoying." Chu Tianjiao sighed and said, "And I did just kill his men. Although I am not a soft-hearted person, I still believe in the code of conduct. And blindly testing people is not the way to control people. I want to hear the truth from the old guy, so I have to make him believe me enough. Facts have proved that my approach is correct. After that, Vincent suddenly said he wanted to show me something. This thing was definitely beyond my expectation."

"What did he show you?" Chu Zihang asked. This was also the question that everyone was curious about.

"I was curious, too. I saw Vincent wink at Sasha and the others. The soldiers walked to a corner of the room. There was nothing in that corner except a painting. They took the painting down. There was a mechanism hidden behind the painting. Sasha turned the mechanism, and the whole room began to vibrate." Chu Tianjiao's tone was mysterious. "The entire gambling table cracked in the middle, and the floor cracked with it. A huge, black object appeared in front of me. Do you know what that is?"

Chapter 1071 Coffin

It was a huge, black thing, hidden under the floor. It was really hard to guess. Even if one used all one's imagination, it was hard to guess what old man Vincent would hide so mysteriously.

"Is it a tombstone?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively. It might not be a tombstone, but it could be a stele with some words engraved on it that carried ancient secrets. Lu Mingfei had encountered this in some ruins.

"Very close." Chu Tianjiao nodded, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he revealed the secret, "It's a coffin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of disgust flashed across the faces of Nuonuo, Susie and Jiude Aki, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

Old man Vincent was so incredible that he could put a coffin, a thing for holding dead people, under the floor of his room. Even if it was not for good luck, only the absurdists in ancient Egypt and medieval Europe who believed in mummies and that eating mummies could prolong life could do such a heinous thing.

"In that coffin?" Even Chu Zihang couldn't help but frown when he mentioned this.

"Yes, you guessed right." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "I can't tell what the coffin is made of. It looks like black sunken wood, but it has a metallic luster and looks very sturdy. There are golden candlesticks at the four corners of the coffin, with white candles on them. In the center is a black giant beetle specimen, about the size of an adult man's palm."

"Golden scarab." Chu Zihang whispered, "In ancient Egyptian culture, it is a sacred object that symbolizes 'resurrection' and 'eternal life'."

"Yes, I looked carefully. The black cover of the coffin is engraved with the name of the sun god. The layout of the entire coffin looks like some kind of ritual item for sacrifice. I can only say that old guy Vincent believes in everything in order to revive their leader. It seems that he is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods." Chu Tianjiao said, "I looked at this almost crazy old guy. He stroked the cover of the coffin with his hands. His eyes were red and full of tears. His lips could not help but tremble, as if the person lying in the coffin was his beloved wife who had died many years ago."

"The old guy won't open the coffin in front of you, right?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.

"You really guessed it right." Chu Tianjiao held his forehead with his hand. "Ever since I showed my ability to the old guy, he seems to have completely trusted me, but he is not even sure of my position. He tried to push open the coffin lid in front of me, but he was too old and couldn't move such a heavy object at all. So he called Sasha and the others over. The soldiers put on masks and sterile gloves, and came to the four corners of the coffin in a battle-ready manner. A few burly men slowly lifted the lid with great effort."

Caesar, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei all had serious looks in their eyes. For boys of their age, strange stories about certain celebrities in history were definitely quite attractive, so they were all very curious about what was in the coffin. Even Nuo Nuo's eyes were moving slowly, as if she was using her profiling ability to infer some guesses.

"It was a slightly decayed corpse, lying quietly in the coffin. The bottom of the coffin was covered with a pure white, soft Persian carpet, which was embroidered with the '卐' symbol." Chu Tianjiao drew in the air with his finger for everyone to see, and then he slowly said, "'Adolf Hitler', a gold-plated nameplate was attached to the side of the inner board of the coffin next to the corpse."

"The Inner Guard swastika, this symbol is composed of the German word 'Schutzstaffel', which is the abbreviation of the Inner Guard SS, and then converted into two lightning-shaped letters 'S'. This right-handed 'swastika' pattern tilted at 1920 degrees is called 'Hakenkreuz', which translates to 'hook cross'. It is often used in the flags, emblems and armbands of the Inner Guard Party. Xi Teli believed that the 'swastika' symbolized the mission of striving for the victory of the Aryans, so it was used as the emblem of the Inner Guard Party in . Some people also say that in German, the initials of 'state' and 'society' are both 'S', and the two initials overlapped to form the 'swastika' shape." Chu Zihang explained to everyone, "But the English on the nameplate is indeed the real name of the Inner Guard leader."

“You know, for me who saw that scene with my own eyes, there was one very unbelievable point.” Chu Tianjiao whispered, “The body lying in the coffin was not very decayed, even the skin and facial features were still there. The body was wrapped in grayish-white bandages, and I could vaguely see the bluish-gray skin. That shouldn’t be the color of a body that has been dead for nearly fifty years. The body was fresh... like it had just died less than a week ago.”

It was a bit disgusting to describe a corpse as "fresh", but the scene described by Chu Tianjiao was indeed a bit too weird. All signs indicated that it was indeed the corpse of Xi Te Li, the former leader of the Nei Zu Party. But according to historical records and the timeline at that time, if he was really dead, he must have died for at least forty years. How could a corpse of forty years be preserved so well? Did they use the ancient Egyptian mummification technology? But at least all the internal organs of the person would have to be emptied.

But according to Chu Tianjiao's description, this corpse was even more complete than the ancient Egyptian mummies.

But if Xi Te Li escaped from the German Chancellor's office and lived to be 70, 80 or even 90 years old in Argentina, Bolivia or even Antarctica, as those strange stories on the Internet say, then where did Vincent get the body of the Führer? It can't be that Xi Te Li himself or his descendants gave it to him personally, right?

In short, no matter from which angle you look at it, this old guy either really has some kind of deep relationship with the former leader of the inner party, or he is simply insane. The so-called "empire", "plan", "rebirth" and other things are all his imagination. This corpse is also an unknown corpse that was got from somewhere. He deceived everyone and deceived himself into it, sailing in the cold Arctic Circle for ten years... But can a madman who is crazy to this extent really do this?

"I stared at the body for a long time, but unfortunately, I am neither a historian nor a forensic doctor, and I have never seen Xi Teli himself, so I have no way to judge whether the body is the former head of state." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Vincent patted his chest and assured me that the person lying in the coffin must be the head of state. He guaranteed it with his faith."

"His beliefs?" Chu Zihang repeated the word.

"I don't know if you remember, when I talked about my first meeting with Vincent, I described his clothes." Chu Tianjiao reminded everyone.

"Military uniform." Nono whispered, "I remember you said that when Vincent turned around from his chair, he was wearing a green military uniform."

"Yes, that old guy is actually an out-and-out member of the inner pawns, or a remnant of the gang. He once lived in Germany and served in the army when he was young. He even got the highest position he could get, that of an officer!" Chu Tianjiao spat fiercely. "These are exactly what the old guy told me. He turned up his collar, and there was a collar badge with a '卐' mark embroidered on it. He turned over his shoulders to reveal two golden epaulettes with red borders. The base of the epaulettes was decorated with a thin red bar and three star emblems!"

“Captain!” Even Lu Mingfei was surprised. “This old guy was actually an army captain when he was young!”

"The old guy put on an officer's cap with an eagle and skull emblem on it, and he wore black high leather boots with his cuffs turned up in a standard salute position." Chu Tianjiao said in an unnatural tone, "In front of me, he actually gave a standard inner soldier salute to the corpse in the coffin, and then bowed deeply. He could hardly stand steadily, but he still kept shouting 'Your Excellency' 'Your Excellency' at the top of his lungs. That picture was creepy no matter how you looked at it."

An old man, whose half body was buried in the earth and almost looked like a mummy, saluted and bowed to a real corpse wrapped in bandages... When this picture appeared in the minds of the people in the room, they all shuddered deeply at the same time.

"So his name has never appeared on the Forbes rich list, and you can't investigate this person's past because he used a pseudonym from beginning to end." Chu Zihang said with sudden enlightenment, "His real identity is an extremely fanatical inner soldier, but the inner soldier has disappeared, and he can't show his real identity to others, so he forged his own name and hid his origins. Vincent living in this world is a fictional person."

"That's right. His real name is not Vincent von Ludwig, but Vincent von Andreas. Andreas is his real last name. He is a pure German." Chu Tianjiao said, "After the end of World War II, many remnants of the Neizu fled to Argentina, far away from the European continent. That area did not participate in the war, so the rumor that Xi Teli also fled there is not groundless, because Vincent lived there for many years until the world had forgotten about it. He returned to Germany eighteen years ago."

"And he has been living in the Arctic Circle all these years? Looking for a way to resurrect their leader?" Caesar whispered, "Like a ghost haunting Germany."

"I was curious about where this body in the coffin came from. Vincent was silent for a long time and told me that he found it in Antarctica." Chu Tianjiao said.

"Antarctica?" Everyone's eyes widened. Lu Mingfei said, "So those rumors are true? Xi Te Li really didn't die in Germany, but fled to Antarctica?"

"Yes, Vincent said that he not only found the body in Antarctica, but also found the underground base camp built by the Neizu party. But when he got there, there was no living person in the huge underground space." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Fortunately, no one was running the power system, and the temperature there was low enough, so the body hardly rotted. Vincent finally found Xi Te's body and brought it out from there."

"That's not right." Lu Mingfei said, "Shouldn't Vincent stay in Antarctica? Why would he bring the dead Xiteba into the Arctic Circle?"

"I've said it before. It's not the South Pole, but the North Pole. These are Xi Te's original words." Chu Tianjiao looked at the bewildered expressions of the crowd and explained, "What Vincent found at the Antarctic base camp were not only dead bodies, but also Xi Te's legacy and relics. He relied on these legacies to become one of the richest people in Argentina at the time. In those relics, Vincent discovered Xi Te's plan. It turned out that Nei Zu's research direction was wrong from the beginning. The method of 'immortality' has been hidden in a certain polar region, actually the North Pole, but they went to the South Pole, and only realized this when Xi Te was about to die. He wrote down his ideas and plans in writing. A blizzard not long after took away almost all the lives of Nei Zu at the Antarctic base camp."

"So this is the truth of history." Caesar also sighed, "So Vincent inherited Xiteri's plan?"

"Yes, including Xi Te Li's will, because Vincent doesn't want immortality, he just wants to revive the great man he believes in, so he used Xi Te Li's legacy to buy the 'Yamal', and according to Xi Te Li's plan, he searched for the secret of 'immortality' in the Arctic Circle." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent also confessed to me that he had actually gone bankrupt a long time ago. Even if Xi Te Li left a lot of legacy, his annual expenses were an astronomical figure. Over the years, he just lived off his savings, so he used this not-so-shady method to win money from some wealthy gamblers. He couldn't pay me the 1 billion he owed me. If I could do one thing for him, he would be willing to give me the entire 'Yamal' and everything on the ship, including the crew and servants."

"Could it be that the old guy wants you to help resurrect his leader?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"Yes, he knelt on the ground and begged me, hugged my legs, tears streaming down his face, and said that as long as I could resurrect his leader for him, he would give me everything." Chu Tianjiao held his forehead and said, "Vincent explained his plan to me. They will build a brand new empire, and I will be the greatest founding hero of the new empire. I will share the whole world with the founder of the Third Reich, the savior of Germany, the successor of Atlantis, and the greatest man in the history of the world."

“Isn’t he just talking nonsense?” Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. “Brainwashing is a more accurate description. It’s the tone often used by leaders of pyramid schemes.”

"I'm not interested in these at all, but I'm quite interested in what Xi Te Li left behind. I mean the secret about 'eternal life'." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "I know this secret must be related to the dragon race. I didn't agree or refuse, but just asked Vincent calmly how he planned to resurrect his leader."

Chapter 1072 Avalon

"So how does the old guy plan to resurrect his leader?" Lu Mingfei asked following Chu Tianjiao's words.

"This involves Vincent's second secret. When I asked this question, Vincent winked at the people in the room, and all the hired veterans and those sexy and charming girls quietly left the room. Only Sasha remained in the room." Chu Tianjiao said, "It seems that this is a big secret. He doesn't even trust the girls who have had physical contact with Vincent, but Sasha is the only one who seems to be able to gain Vincent's trust."

"The old guy is very vigilant." Lu Mingfei said.

“After seeing what he showed me next, I still couldn’t understand why he was so cautious.” Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said softly, “People who have never come into contact with the dragon race will not believe what he says next. Even ordinary mixed-bloods will think that he is hysterical or crazy after hearing what the old man said.”

"Is it something related to the dragon clan?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I guess so." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "It is something... beyond human knowledge."

Beyond human understanding... This description is very interesting. For ordinary people, things in the dragon world are beyond their understanding, but when this sentence is said by Chu Tianjiao, the value of this sentence seems to be extremely high.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

"That's a painting." Chu Tianjiao said slowly.

"A painting?" Everyone in the room looked at each other.

"Yes, I saw Vincent gesture to Sasha, and then Sasha walked step by step to the wall. I noticed the expression on Sasha's face. He looked cautious and awed, and there was fear in the depths of his eyes, as if what he was going to show me next was not a painting, but a man-eating demon." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha walked to the bookshelf behind Vincent, where I stared at the dealer. He moved a few books on the bookshelf. It was a special mechanism, and then a section of the bookshelf cracked in all directions, revealing a hidden compartment. In fact, I knew that the layout there was strange, but I didn't know what was hidden in it at first."

"The older the fox, the more it likes to hide its beloved treasure closer to itself." Lu Mingfei said.

“But in fact, for Vincent, that thing is more like a coordinate than a treasure, and it is also a kind of curse.” Chu Tianjiao said.

"Curse?" Chu Zihang said in a low voice.

This word reminded him of a brand on his shoulder that was left by Odin. Chu Zihang always believed that it was a curse inflicted on him by Odin. Whenever his bloodline was on the verge of getting out of control, he would feel a dull pain in his shoulder... Later, Chu Zihang learned that it was actually a kind of coordinate that could lead Chu Zihang into Odin's Nibelung again. Ever since he received the "dragon blood baptism" in Japan, the brand on his shoulder has never hurt again.

"In the secret compartment behind the bookshelf is a shrine, or an altar. On a small hollow platform is a burning candlestick. On the candlestick is a black gelatinous substance, which is the ever-burning mermaid oil. Behind the candlestick stands a statue of the Virgin Mary..." When Chu Tianjiao said this, an inappropriate voice was heard.

"Is the old man's faith so mixed?" Finger exclaimed, "Doesn't this guy believe in Xi Te Ba? But Xi Te Ba is a typical anti-Christian. What on earth does Vincent want to do? On the one hand, he believes in Germany, and on the other hand, he puts up a statue of Jesus' mother?"

"Vincent doesn't believe in Jesus or Christianity. He placed the statue of the Virgin Mary just to suppress the curse in the painting." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "The painting is placed behind the shrine, covered by a black curtain. When Sasha lifted the black curtain, an indescribable ominous feeling surged in my heart. The sky was pitch black, with long strips of cyan and purple light flashing. The sea was azure, and there were white islands and land, one after another, like clouds hanging in the sky."

"Are those glowing ribbons in the sky the aurora borealis?" Caesar asked.

"Yes, it looks like the aurora." Chu Tianjiao nodded.

"Wait a minute, you just said that in that painting, the earth is a blue sea with cloud-like islands on it, and the sky is black, like a black land with light strips on it." Chu Zihang pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "Isn't this the same as what you said before that the guest who had boarded the 'Yamal' heard from the sailor? The sky is like the earth, the earth is like the sky, everything in the world is upside down."

"Yes, I had a strong feeling when I saw the painting. It was a strange and terrifying feeling. There was a mysterious light floating in the sky in the painting, making it difficult to tell whether it was night or day. The light that fell from the sky illuminated the islands on the sea. Some of those islands had towering trees, and some had strange stones. The stones surrounded the morning light and formed high platforms similar to altars." Chu Tianjiao said in a very low voice, "In the center of the painting is the largest island. The white island is like a huge iceberg that has not melted for thousands of years. It is surrounded by eight smaller islands on all sides. A white figure stands in the center of the giant island with his back to the outside of the picture. His face cannot be seen clearly. He is wrapped in gray-white bandages and surrounded by densely packed black coffins. The man stands in the middle of the coffins, looking at the sky, as if he is praying or cursing."

"It sounds pretty creepy." Lu Mingfei imagined the scene in the picture and nodded.

"No, my description is not even one-tenth of the real painting. Only by seeing the painting with your own eyes can you experience its weirdness firsthand." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "It is obviously an abstract painting, but its picture is extremely realistic. The color of the sky, the outline of the island, the texture of the leaves, the shape of the coffin... and the human figure standing on the island in the center of the picture. These elements are so surreal, but the painter has drawn it so clearly and vividly. I can imagine how determined and absorbed the painter was when he painted this picture. His face was between fear and madness, as if he had used all his life's courage in this painting, as if this painting was not something he dreamed of or imagined, but a scene he... had witnessed with his own eyes!"

“An abstract and realistic painting…” Lu Mingfei whispered, and an image of a painting unconsciously emerged in his mind.

It was a hideous, horrifying, and extremely realistic painting. Everyone present had seen that painting before.

"This type of painting..." Lu Mingfei looked at Caesar and Chu Zihang, "Boss, Senior Brother, do you still remember it?"

Chu Zihang nodded, and Caesar whispered, "How could I forget?"

They all knew which painting Lu Mingfei was talking about. It was the painting “Twilight of the Gods” that they saw on the CC1000 train when they entered school. It was the painting in which the Black King Nidhogg was gnawing at the World Tree!

Lu Mingfei once asked Professor Guderian and President Angers who the author of the painting was, but both the professor and the president answered that the author was unknown.

This was originally a huge unsolved mystery, because the picture in the painting looked just like the real thing, and the painting could even make almost all the hybrids have clairvoyance. People who had not seen the ancient black emperor with their own eyes could never describe his majesty... But is there really such a person in the world? He had seen the Black King himself, and survived, and had superb painting skills, recording the scenes he had seen with his brushstrokes. The probability of this series of coincidences was as small as the Black King being killed by an extraterrestrial meteorite while flying in the sky.

"No, the person who drew that picture must have seen the island with his own eyes." Chu Tianjiao suddenly interrupted Lu Mingfei's thoughts, "Or at least he had seen the island with his own eyes from a long distance, just like the perspective in the painting."

"Why?" Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously.

"Because Vincent has also been to that place." Chu Tianjiao said in a low voice.

"What?!" Everyone's eyes widened at the same time.

"Vincent told me that later. He stood in front of the painting and told me that the name of the painting was 'Isle of Death'. The painting was found in Xi Te's safe in the Nei Zu Party's Antarctic base. Xi Te collected three similar paintings." Chu Tianjiao said, "In fact, there are five such paintings in the world. Collecting all five paintings can piece together a complete coordinate. The coordinate records the 'Land of Eternal Life', but it seems that no one in the world has ever done this. Xi Te found two paintings when he was young and knew that the secret of 'eternal life' was hidden at a certain pole of the earth. Xi Te guessed that it was the South Pole, but he was wrong. It was not until he was old that he got the third painting and knew that the secret of eternal life was hidden at the North Pole, but his life was about to come to an end by then."

"What about the other two rare paintings?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It can't be found. Vincent had never seen it before. He only found this one painting in Xi Te's safe. He knew Xi Te had three paintings from Xi Te's diary." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "Before his death, Xi Te wrote down his new plan, including plans for a new empire and speculations about the 'Land of Eternal Life'. Vincent was completely brainwashed by the head of state, so he had to revive Xi Te no matter what. He inherited Xi Te's wealth and his plan. He followed the contents of the notes to the Arctic Circle, trying to find the legendary 'Land of Eternal Life' here and revive his head of state."

"The old guy is as loyal as an old Rottweiler who understands human nature." Finkel said with emotion.

"I have a question." Nuonuo suddenly raised her hand, she looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "In your narration just now, you mentioned two words, 'Island of Death' and 'Land of Eternal Life'. Do these two words refer to the same place?"

"Regarding this matter, in Vincent's cognition, these two words refer to the same place, and his notes also hold the same guess." Nuo Nuo seemed to have asked the key point. Chu Tianjiao thought for a while and said, "But some things that happened later made me think that these two places are probably not the same place."

"What did you encounter later?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"That's a story for later. I'll tell you right away." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent suddenly covered the painting. He leaned close to my ear and told me in a very small voice that he had actually been to that place once."

"I admit that I was shocked at the time, but this was also expected, because if he really went there, it means that the sailor on the Yamal did not lie. What Vincent said next was even more incredible to me." Chu Tianjiao glanced at everyone and said softly, "He said that the island has a name. It is the ultimate place, the beginning and end of the world. Its name is... 'Avalon'."

"Avalon!" Everyone's eyes widened.

According to the records in northern mythology, Avalon is indeed an island located in the far north, known as the "World of Paradise". No one knows where it is, as if its existence will keep changing with the changes in the world.

Legend has it that it is King Arthur's final resting place, a paradise in the afterlife, guarded by nine fairies. Living people cannot reach the island, and it can only be approached by ferryboats on the sea. It is surrounded by thick fog and auroras and is isolated from the world all year round. There are also rumors that King Arthur came back to life in Avalon. Time does not pass on the island, and the concepts of past and future do not exist at all. That land hides the secrets of death and immortality.

"Many myths have prototypes in reality. Maybe there really is an island called 'Avalon' in the world," said Chu Zihang.

"If there is 'Avalon' in the world, doesn't it just prove Vincent's statement and Xiteri's conjecture, as well as the painting, the 'Isle of Death' and the 'Land of Eternal Life'? They really exist." Caesar whispered.

“No scholar in the world has ever confirmed this, but Vincent told me that he could confirm it because he saw it with his own eyes. He was an eyewitness and his words were convincing.” Chu Tianjiao said, “In fact, I almost believed him at the time, but in order to make him confess more and tell me more, I provoked him with words. I sneered and said that these words were all one-sided. You can make up these words, and I can make them up too. I can say that I have been to Asgard and met gods and demons there.”

"This method of provoking someone is not very clever." Chu Zihang frowned slightly.

"But Vincent just happened to fall for it, because he needed me, so he also needed my trust." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent's face turned red at the time. He pointed to the coffin containing Xi Te La's body and said that this was the evidence. If he had never been to Avalon, where did this coffin come from? This is what he brought out of Avalon!"

"Coffin?" Nuo Nuo's eyes moved, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "The painting you just mentioned?"
