Chapter 165: The Gate to Heaven
The huge iceberg buried its body under the sea, with only a shallow corner showing above the sea. It did not seem very big from a distance, but when you get closer, it is as big as a mountain, enough to make all passing ships change their faces drastically.

The largest iceberg in the world is about 4000 square kilometers, which is larger than two Pengcheng cities or three New York City. It is basically an ice island in the sea.

However, there are no such large icebergs in this sea area. The most famous iceberg in this sea area is called "Mary Girl", a medium-sized iceberg that has been wandering and drifting near this sea area.

Its height above the sea level is only 25 meters, only seven or eight stories high, but hidden beneath the sea is its main body, which is larger than their warship.

Warships are also afraid of such huge icebergs. If they collide violently, they will really sink. But no matter whether you are a warship or the Titanic, they dare not go too close. The people from Kassel College can only row a small boat over.

Climbing up a smooth iceberg may be difficult for ordinary people, but for these mixed-bloods, all they need is hands.

They carried cold and hot weapons on their backs and crawled on the icebergs.

The soldiers on the warship were a little confused. Why did they bring long-range and short-range weapons when they came out to investigate an iceberg? You are on a warship! Are you afraid that there are Viking pirates on the iceberg?

But Shangguan didn't tell them, he just asked them to shut up and not think about it.

The icebergs were covered with snow, nothing but white. They didn't find out what was on them. The icebergs were slippery under their feet, and they were bare with nothing on them.

"The speed at which these icebergs drift is a little slow. It's like a whirlpool here, sucking in these big icebergs."

In fact, the drifting speed of icebergs is very slow, only a few hundred meters per hour. In nature, except for sloths, they can only be compared with extremely small animals.

“Speed ​​is a bit of an issue.”

Pompeii compared the positions of the icebergs in the two photos and made a quick calculation, and found that the drifting speed of these icebergs was only a few dozen meters per hour.

At this speed, the distance covered is only about 24 kilometer in 1 hours, and it would take a month to leave this sea area.

Before entering this sea area, the movement speed of these large icebergs was not like this. Their speed basically increased by more than 10 times when entering or leaving this sea area.

Only after entering this sea area did the movement speed suddenly drop.

"This seems a little off no matter how you look at it." Lu Mingfei whispered to Chu Zihang.

"There's no way this is going to work."

Xia Mi whispered to him: "Such a huge iceberg, it descended so quickly, is it the Dragon Palace of the North Sea?"

"It may not be in the Dragon Palace, but there is definitely a Great Odin in it."

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were talking in low voices.

Chu Zihang frowned and looked at the sea.

As for who wants to catch Odin the most, no one on this ship dares to say that he is the first except him.

But he was also at a loss. As the King of Bronze and Fire, he was not omnipotent.

The technical team exchanged opinions on the warship, and the combat support team stayed on the iceberg to guard it. Until nightfall, they still couldn't figure out what was going on.

The dinner on the warship was not boring. The ship had already carried a large amount of food before leaving the port and was prepared for a protracted war.

There are barbecues, cooked dishes, even Western food, red wine and so on. It can be said that there is everything.

The starry sky in the Arctic Circle is even brighter at night, and the human eye can even see the Milky Way. Compared to living in a big city with serious light pollution, where you can only see the stars in the sky clearly in very rare cases, this place is simply a paradise on earth.

It seems like they are really here for tourism, if those icebergs were replaced by the Hawaiian Islands.

"Principal Ange is here with the vice-president."

The other warship arrived a day later than them. The energetic Angers asked Pompey what the vanguard troops had discovered.
"A little, but not much."

Pompey told him everything he had found out.

"How about we blow up this whole place?" Flamel spoke as if he was an undercover agent sent by the Equipment Department.

Pompey was also a little surprised. They were all old friends, how could they not be familiar with each other?

He asked, "When did you go to the Equipment Department for further studies?"

"I just want to say that blowing this place up is the best way..." Flamel said speechlessly: "If we don't consider the seabed, the Nibelungen is hidden on these icebergs, so blowing up the icebergs is the best option. We can't get in if the other party doesn't open the door. Why not blow this place up directly? Maybe the other party will run out in a rage?"

Flamel had never been to Nibelungen, but based on the little bit of superficial information he had, he seemed to be able to roughly guess that Nibelungen was built based on the environment.

The surrounding environment has a supporting effect on the Nibelungen.

Of course, this was just a small guess of his, and he was not even 30% sure.

"But these icebergs are moving." Pompey was puzzled. "It's this sea area that's strange, not these icebergs. These icebergs are just passing by and were slowed down. Shouldn't we investigate the problem of the deceleration itself?"

Chu Zihang wanted to say that Flamel's proposal was half right.

The easiest way to replicate Nibelungen based on the environment is because Nibelungen is not created out of nothing, it is just built up with elements. It is a bit laborious to forcibly eat away things from the real environment in Nibelungen, so it is better to directly destroy and change the outside world.

This is why their city of Nibelung has restored its original appearance in a 1:1 ratio.

The Bronze City has a space inside and outside, which connects the space of Nibelungen to the outside world. Isn’t that awesome?

In fact, Norton had put a lot of effort into Nibelung and integrating it into the Bronze City alchemy. The Bronze City was his lair and tomb, and it was where his eggs were placed, so he put so much effort into building it.

But Flamel was only half right, because Odin was born as an ancient god and just became a successful person lately. It was much easier for these ancient gods to play with the Nibelungen. With their abilities, they could easily change the internal and external environment and there was no need to replicate the environment at all.

"But what should we do now? This feels a bit complicated."

Pompeii scratched his head. "If you want to ask me about mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy and geography, I can explain them to you and study them. But if you want to talk about the Nibelung, I don't understand it. I have only seen a few words about it in books. I have never seen it. Even if I am a theoretical expert, I can't speculate on something that has no recorded data."

Pompey is an extremely outstanding science expert who can easily become a professor at Harvard.

Of course he was too disdainful to go and didn't want to go. Teaching was not as fun as picking up girls, which could make him happy both physically and mentally.

If he goes to teach at a university one day, he will definitely want to have a teacher-student romance.

"We don't understand either, so I asked you to come." Angers spread his hands, "I thought you, the head of the Gattuso family, would know something like Uesugi Yue."

"The Gattuso family is a legendary dragon-slaying family in the secret party, but I am not a legendary dragon-slayer..." Pompey muttered softly, "How can I know so much?"

"Then there's nothing for you to do here, go play somewhere else."

Ange left him alone as if he were a child.

He could not be said to be disappointed with Pompey, because Pompey never disappointed anyone.

After hearing what Ange said, Pompey happily ran back to the cabin to play with the female officer. Although he didn't seem to be able to help much that day, he had worked hard, and he had to comfort his wounded heart quickly.

"Are there any discoveries worth noting?" Angé asked Zhang Baiqing.

"Not at the moment." Zhang Baiqing shook his head.

"What about you?" Angé asked Lu Mingfei.

“Neither.” Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively. He is now just a pure gangster.

"Did it really blow up here?"

Ange frowned and looked at Flamel.

He is a patient man, but that doesn't mean he is willing to wait forever.

We had already failed once in the Greenland Sea 10 years ago, and now we are still unable to determine what kind of dragon king the other party is.

They managed to get rid of one of the Bronze and Fire Kings, which was something worth writing down in the history books. It was a pity that they failed to protect the Dragon King's skeleton in the end, and it was taken away by other Dragon Kings.

He is over 100 years old, so he can wait for 10 years, but what about 20 or 30 years? Dragons have such a long life span, and he is just a human being. Waiting for several decades will cost him his life.

Flamel: "Theoretically, even if we can't blow up the Nibelungen, we can still vent our anger and disgust the Dragon King. What if the Dragon King feels embarrassed and comes out to fight us to the death?"

Ange shook his head: "Dragons are just proud, not stupid. They will run when they need to. Maybe the Dragon King here has already left."

"Uh... I don't think so. Maybe the Dragon King just thinks we are like ants and is too lazy to move." Flamel shook his head.

The Dragon King is not afraid of them, so why is he running away?

With the destructive power that created a big hole in Kassel College, if they were hit twice, both of their warships would be sunk.

"Let's check again."

Angers is not in a hurry for one or two days. Every one of their dragon-slaying operations takes months or years.

Slaying a dragon is not like cooking, something that can be done in a moment.

"Norma, have you investigated and sorted out everything that happened in this sea area over the years?" Angers asked Norma.

"Dear Principal of Angers, we have already investigated and screened them, but from what I have seen and calculated, they are all invalid information."

Like what Finkel said happened to his next-door neighbor, they just talked about it with people around them and didn't post it online for discussion.

So naturally there is no record or record of this matter on the Internet.

"Send it to the students, let's check it out together."

"Okay principal."

After Norma distributed the information, they suddenly had no time to look at the stars at night. They could only stare at the computer screen boringly, looking through the information over and over again.

Chu Zihang was very familiar with this information. He had already gone through it during the winter vacation at the beginning of this year, but he really didn't gain much from it.

Lu Mingfei remembered what Finkel had said, but he only knew that it was near the Arctic Circle, but he didn't know exactly where.

So he sent a message back to Fingel, asking for the location where his neighbor had discovered the island.

Finkel replied the next day after waking up: "I don't know where it is either... We need to check the route of the gambling ship. There are basically records of where the ship went on which day. Are you all in the Greenland waters now?"

Lu Mingfei: "Yeah, but I couldn't find any information."

Finkel: "I will investigate the ship's sailing records and send them to you as soon as possible."

Finkel seemed to be extremely concerned about this matter. Half a day later, Lu Mingfei sent him the information, and even some rigorous speculations. It was unknown how he got these data and made the speculations at home.

"...The route record of the Yamal icebreaker confirmed that on New Year's Day, it was sailing at 72° north latitude..."

It was confirmed that the mirage that Fingel's neighbor saw was in this sea area, but... mirages have distance differences, and the size and distance of the objects reflected are also different, and there is no reference on the sea surface...

Even with this information in hand, it is difficult for them to directly lock on to a place.

Lu Mingfei chose to report this information.

When Ange saw the news, he raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself: "I didn't bring Finger with me this time. I was careless."

Then he looked at the speculative report sent by Lu Mingfei.

This speculative report undoubtedly helped them a lot, allowing them to narrow the scope to a smaller place.

"Norma, send a message to the school board and tell them that we have already stepped half a foot into the gate of Nibelungen. Now we need a more accurate log of the Yamal icebreaker."

"Okay principal."

Less than half a day after Norma sent the message to the school board, they got the information of Yamal.

But Ange didn't care how they got the information, whether it was by robbing or by paying to get it, he just wanted the result.

The two warships quickly headed for the place where the Yamal had seen the mirage, and then continued sailing north.

According to satellite images taken last Christmas, this place was an ice field at that time. Icebergs of all sizes, carrying iceberg fragments, gathered here to form a small ice field.

But there are no icebergs or ice fields here anymore, only an empty sea.

"Maybe we need an iceberg to pass by? Give us a landing spot?"

Flamel speculated.

Ange said, "If the Nibelungen cannot run, then theoretically it is true. But is there any record of the Nibelungen moving?"

"I've never seen such a record..." Flamel shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that the Nibelungen cannot be moved, but there are too few records of the Nibelungen. There is no record of the specific situation of the Nibelungen. I only know that sometimes the Nibelungen will open the gate and then close the gate. I don't know whether it will move."

"Ok."

The Secret Party and Kassel College were also suddenly faced with a shortage of information, as the Nibelungen was too unfamiliar to them.

They only killed a few dragons, how could they get such a great item?

They didn't know that the nearest Nibelung to them was the Bronze City under the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but they only thought that it was a city made of bronze, not a Nibelung.
