Chapter 153 Odin's Trail
This trip to Japan was worthwhile. Not only did I find Odin's trace, but I also got information about Chu Zihang's father.

"Secessionist faction?" Chu Zihang frowned, feeling a little confused.

Since this separatist faction believes that humanity has no chance in this era, why did they send a big core out to hang around in front of Odin's gate?

They even brought a black box to lure Odin out. This doesn't make sense! According to their philosophy, shouldn't they stay in the base and wait for the opportunity to come back?

Is there another split within the separatist faction?
Chu Zihang couldn't figure it out, and Zhang Baiqing couldn't figure it out either.

But he didn't think too much about it. He and Eri were playing outside. He had no desire to travel, but Eri wanted to take him out for a walk.

This time when the two of them came out together, Eiry no longer needed to put on makeup or dress up, and could walk on the street with Zhang Baiqing openly.

However, less than a year had passed since Japan was hit by the natural disaster, and Tokyo had not yet fully recovered, so the two did not visit Tokyo but went somewhere else.

Seeing that he was not interested, Eri asked, "You don't seem to like anything?"

"No."

Zhang Baiqing said nonchalantly: "I like the feeling of being unknown in a big city. Because no one knows me, I feel free to some extent."

"You seem to be indifferent all the time..." Eri frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Isn't this kind of freedom a kind of loneliness?"

"Lonely? A little bit, but not too much. I just feel a little bored." Zhang Baiqing thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, there are a lot of fun things in the world."

"whats the matter?"

When Eri heard him talking about something fun, her eyes lit up, not because it was fun, but because he was talking about something fun.

It was the first time she could run out and play, and she was very happy even if she was in a hurry to the next place.

Later, she was free and could go out whenever she wanted, but she was not as happy because there was no one around her who could run around with her.

On the coast, there are reefs hit by waves. Two people stand on the steep reefs with fishing rods in their hands. After putting bait on the hooks, they throw them into the sea.

It was Eri's first time fishing, and she seemed a little clumsy. She just held the fishing rod and kept letting out the line, her eyes fixed on the tip of the rod.

Before she could figure out the water layer and pay attention to the details of lifting the rod and stabbing the fish, the fishing rod suddenly bent 90 degrees.

I finished the fish in one gulp.

With her physique, she wouldn't care about whether to let the fish slip away or not. She raised her arm and forcefully reeled in the line and pulled the rod, forcibly pulling back the big fish that was swimming forward at the bottom of the water.

The force generated by a fish in the water can easily be multiplied several times, but as long as the line does not break and the rod does not break, Eri is least afraid of tug-of-war.

The weather was not hot, but Zhang Baiqing felt a little irritated, especially since he and Eiry were playing tug-of-war with the fish.

Although Eri has not opened the dragon blood, her strength can easily reach several hundred kilograms.

Even Eri couldn't do anything about it. It miraculously came to the surface with great force. How big must the fish be? And he just claimed to be an experienced fisherman and taught Eri how to fish!
When Huili was happily catching hundreds of pounds of grouper, Zhang Baiqing's fishing rod also began to sink.

He pulled it up suddenly, and a sea fish weighing more than a pound broke through the water and flew up. This fish... could barely be used as bait for the big grouper that Eri caught.

For lunch, they had the giant grouper that Erii caught, but they obviously couldn't finish it, so she kept some and sent the rest back to Tokyo to her brother and his family and froze it.

Zhang Baiqing thought that the one-pound fish was just the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be the climax of his catch that day. He swallowed the few rotten fish and shrimps that came after it in one gulp even though the hook on his fishing rod was bigger than their heads.

After catching the big grouper, Eri caught several fish weighing about 10 kilograms. These fish were Zhang Baiqing's fishing target for the day, but he did not achieve any of them.

Zhang Baiqing muttered something quietly: "This must be a novice gift pack! It's strange, the water in that broken reef is not deep, how could there be a giant grouper there? Does Japan have this kind of giant grouper?"

Eri whispered to him, "Are we going fishing tomorrow?"

She felt that fishing was fun, and it would be best if half of the fish she caught could be caught on Zhang Baiqing's hook.

"Go ahead, why not? I'm sure I'll catch a big fish tomorrow!"

The trip to Japan will not end so soon. Since I have really learned something from here, I will have to use the intelligence network of the Sheqi Eight Families to look up information.

The intelligent system Kaguya of the Snake Eight Clan is still a good tool that can filter out important information.

The next day, the two men went to the coast again fully armed.

"Why don't you come and fish at my spot?" Eri kindly gave up the spot where she fished yesterday.

"No need. You must have caught all the fish in this position yesterday." Zhang Baiqing walked to the other side resolutely to cast the hook.

Eiry thought about it and decided not to be too disrespectful to the veteran angler, so she went to fish at the same place where Zhang Baiqing was yesterday.

He didn't catch any fish at this location yesterday, so there must be no fish, right?
But it seemed that the bait Zhang Baiqing had dug yesterday had budded, and Eiry caught a few big fish again.

Speaking of palm-sized bait fish, Zhang Baiqing wished he could go into the sea and catch two to hook them up.

In fact, if he was the only one fishing, such a harvest would not matter, but everything is different when there is a comparison.

Moreover, he caught these fish at the same fishing spot where he almost came up empty-handed yesterday. Are these fish lying here to teach him a lesson?
Eiry happily reeled in the line, took the fish off and threw it into the fish box. It was another fish for dinner.

"Is my fishing posture wrong?" Zhang Baiqing felt that he might not be suitable for fishing these two days.

He must have fought with the King of Ocean and Water. He has the aura of the King of Ocean and Water on him, which scared away all the fish.

"Arctic……"

Chu Zihang, who was searching for Odin's trace in the Eight Clans of Sheqi, sorted out the information and drew a line on the map.

The edge of the Arctic Circle, the Greenland Sea which is not at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, has the Arctic Ocean above it, the Norwegian Sea on the right, and the Atlantic Ocean below it.

Legend has it that Santa Claus came from here.

The Greenland Sea is a specially marked sea area in Kassel Academy because a dragon king really appeared here. Kassel Academy will send people to investigate every year. But the reason why the sea area is called a sea area is because it is very large. After searching for almost ten years, they still can't find anything.

Although he is a Dragon King now, such a vast sea is enough for him to suffer. If he really searches inch by inch, how long will it take to find any trace of Odin?
"Have there been any abnormal phenomena or legends in the Greenland Waters in recent years?" Chu Zihang asked the Kaguya system.

When the Nibelungen appeared and infiltrated reality, it would definitely have a certain impact on the reality. If this information could be searched, it would undoubtedly be faster to find. "Yes, in addition to the aurora phenomenon, there will also be mirages of floating islands in the open sea."

Mirage... The city where he studied had seen many mirages because the active Nibelungen seeped into reality from time to time.

Chu Zihang immediately asked: "Location, time."

Kaguya replied: "It is impossible to check the location and time. This is just an inadvertent legend on the Internet. Since there is no specific information, it is impossible to determine whether it is a real thing or a fabricated thing."

I wonder if Kassel College has any more detailed information?
Does the Norma system have any defense loopholes? Can it be hacked?
Thoughts flashed through Chu Zihang's mind.

Unfortunately, even an alchemist as powerful as Norton does not have a method to chisel open the Nibelung, otherwise he would have definitely chiseled open the Nibelung in the city.

It is said that Hela, the goddess of death who evolved from the fusion of the king of the earth and the king of the mountains, can open the door to the kingdom of the dead.

However, even Xia Mi said that this legend was completely false. She didn't know which bastard made up the rumor. If she found out, she would definitely beat him up.

It is true that the Eye of All Things, the King of Earth and Mountains, can detect the weaknesses of all things, including the weaknesses of the Nibelungen, but one has to be able to see them in order to detect them.

Unless the Nibelungen penetrates reality, the Eye of All Things can't even see where it is, so how can it find its weakness?

If he was really that powerful, Xia Mi wouldn't have been interested in the mark of Riodinnibelungen on Chu Zihang's body.

"You still have to rely on yourself." Chu Zihang put down the information.

The two people's fishing trip at the seaside is still going on. This thing seems to be addictive. Once you start, you can't stop.

Maybe as Eri caught more fish and became a seasoned angler, her fishing luck returned to normal and the fish were no longer so fond of her hooks.

Although the number of fish caught decreased, Eri liked fishing more.

Zhang Baiqing also started to catch big fish, which made him feel relieved. He thought Eri was better than him.

After taking photos of the fish feast for dinner, Eri felt very satisfied.

At this time, Chu Zihang called Zhang Baiqing and said, "I have almost finished looking up the information. I am going back now. If it is not convenient for you, I can go back by myself."

Considering that Zhang Baiqing didn't know where to play with Eri, he said that he could handle Constantine's Dragon Cross.

He just entered the ice cellar and got a dragon bone cross. Isn't that a piece of cake for him?
Xia Mi had told them about the last time she entered the ice cellar. Four outsiders had sneaked into the ice cellar, which was known as the safest place.

Apart from Xia Mi, the king of the earth and mountains who does have some abilities and skills, what about the other three?
The level of security here is comparable to Area 13 in Jackie Chan Adventures! Anyone with a bit of ability can enter freely?

Although Zhang Baiqing did not turn on the speakerphone, for a mixed-blood of Eri's level, considering the distance across the table, it didn't seem to matter whether the speakerphone was turned on or not.

She held the bowl and ate silently, but she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Ah? You're not checking it out so soon."

Glancing at Eri's expressionless face, Zhang Baiqing said, "Then let's go back together."

"Okay." Chu Zihang didn't ask anything else and hung up the phone decisively.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Baiqing told her: "I will go back tomorrow."

"Oh oh." Eri nodded obediently and said nothing.

In the evening, the two drove back to Tokyo.

Chu Zihang said to Zhang Baiqing: "Actually, I can handle this by myself."

He is just taciturn, which doesn't mean he is a fool. Who can't see how excited Eri was when she saw Zhang Baiqing?
"Brother, this is terrifying if you think about it carefully." Zhang Baiqing analyzed to Chu Zihang: "Constantine's dragon bone cross is placed in Kassel College. On the surface, it was because of the principal's opposition that the secret party was unable to hide it."

Of course, Ange was against the Dragon Bone Cross being hidden by these guys. Who knows if it would really disappear while being hidden?
He could not trust this group of capitalists who were doing business, even though they provided funds for the activities of Kassel College.

"In fact, this might be a trap set by the guys behind Kassel Academy. They want to see if you can stop devouring the Bronze and Fire Thrones after seeing them, and what the consequences will be after devouring the twin thrones. Or maybe they want to capture you and train you into a Dragon Bone Cross to form a pair of Bronze and Fire Thrones. You don't look very safe."

As for why Norton didn't come to the Bronze City on the Yangtze River in China to stake out for the two dragon bone crosses, it was of course because China still had the King of the Ocean and Water watching him.

If they had not outnumbered the minority, it would be hard to say whether they could have taken Norton's dragon bone away from the hands of the King of Ocean and Water.

"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded.

With Zhang Baiqing around, this matter is indeed much safer. Although he doesn't have any fancy words, if he rushes in front of you and punches you twice, you have to stay calm even if you are the Dragon King.

The two changed their clothes on the plane, and Zhang Baiqing also put on colored contact lenses.

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. The two walked out of the airport in a low-key manner, then bought two motorcycles and drove to Kassel College.

The ice cellar is indeed difficult to sneak into, and there are some protective measures, but for the two of them, they are somewhat useless.

Kassel College was quite quiet during the holidays. After a large number of students left school, only some professors, staff members, and specialists from the executive department were left.

No one noticed anything unusual about the ice cellar.

The alchemical matrix covering the bronze ground was strengthened in Flamel's hands. After four strangers broke into the ice cellar and unlocked the alchemical field last time, he checked the reason for the failure of the alchemical matrix and spent a lot of effort to rearrange it.

If Xia Mi comes again, it will definitely not be as easy to crack this alchemical matrix as last time. If she uses the same method as last time to crack it, it will definitely trigger an alarm.

But the one who came now was Chu Zihang, the pinnacle of alchemy, who could rebuild the campus at the first sight.

He looked at the alchemical field and pondered it for a while.

If it was Norton himself who came, then Norton would definitely practice this alchemical field again. If the old alchemical field didn't open, why wouldn't the new door he practiced open?

However, Chu Zihang does not have such sophisticated skills, so he has to find other ways.

Chu Zihang started to get busy. In fact, this alchemical field was not that big. He could set up a similar alchemical suppression field. Through the nesting doll method, he could use the outer field to suppress the inner field, making the original inner field ineffective.
