MTL - He Became a Salted Fish After Inheriting Millions of Secret Arts-Chapter 60 Who can tame the monster? (2)
The latest crystallization of ?
Moreover, whether Simon can tame Leviathan is still unknown.
But besides trusting him, Duan Feizhuo couldn't do anything else.
It's an all-or-nothing gamble. If Simon succeeds, they can escape unscathed. If it fails... Duan Feizhuo began to draw a map of the North Pole in his mind. Can they walk to Canada on two feet?
The island, which has no name, is mostly snow-free in summer, covered with arctic moss, heather and arctic poppies, and occasionally animals. The arctic rabbit with long legs sticks its head out from behind the mound from time to time.
It's a pity they didn't find the reindeer here. Otherwise, Simon can tame reindeer as a mount, which can save a lot of work.
After lunch, they set off without stopping. At about six o'clock in the evening, they finally found the lake in the middle of the unnamed island.
At this time the sun was still hanging in the sky, shedding bright sunlight. The lake is sparkling like crystals embedded in the island. This lake at the end of the world is so clean, no one has ever stepped on it, it has never been polluted, it is beautiful and lonely, like a forgotten sad song, echoing alone in this world, but no one listens.
The three of them stood by the lake and had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
"Leviathan is sleeping in the lake?" Duan Feizhuo asked.
Simon nodded. "I can feel its breath. It is said that its former owner was a Forerunner who disappeared. It is a servant created by the Forerunner, and it slept here after the Forerunner left."
Duan Feizhuo recalled those obscure sentences that Sergeant Bulwe uttered before his death.
"He calls his companion back to him...someone will bring it back to him..."
"Blessed is the guide who will bless you..."
The "he" in the mouth of the etheric patients must refer to the second forerunner, the Lord of Light. So is Leviathan the "companion" of the Lord of Light?
Who is leading the way? Simon?
Simon came here under Carter's order to bring Leviathan back to England to increase the deterrence of the army. He didn't come here specially for the Lord of Light.
Simon will guide Leviathan back to the Lord of Light? But isn't the Lord of Light already dead?
Duan Feizhuo closed his eyes, stretched out his supernatural tentacles, and explored the lake.
Through the icy waters, into the lightless bottom.
He did touch something.
Something enormous, biologically irrational, lurks in the water.
He could hear its breathing and heartbeat, heavy and slow, like an old man dying.
For a moment, Duan Feizhuo felt that they should not disturb this huge creature. Just let it lie where you like.
But it was their task to awaken and tame the Leviathan. They have to.
"How do you tame it?" Duan Feizhuo asked Simon, "Is there any ceremony to be held?"
"No. I'll just walk over and talk to it."
The boy smiled confidently.
He strolled to the lake and opened his arms, as if to embrace the whole body of water.
"Wake up, sleeping Leviathan." He said softly to the wind, "I come to meet you with peace and sincerity. I hope to be friends with you. Share all joys and pains with you."
His voice was cadenced, as if he was singing.
Well, it really turned into a Disney princess. Duan Feizhuo thought jokingly.
Simon read his proclamation of friendship several times. Just when Duan Feizhuo thought nothing would happen, the lake surface rippled.
Simon's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps closer to the lake, "My friend, you heard my call!"
There are more and more ripples on the surface of the lake.
Then, there was a deafening bang. The surface of the lake exploded, and the spray drenched Simon from head to toe. A long neck stood up in the broken lake, followed by a body covered with black scales and a spine with spikes. There was a pair of bat wings growing on his back, and when they unfolded, Duan Feizhuo instantly felt that the sky was much darker.
The thing opened its crocodile-like mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, each of which was taller than a person.
From the depths of its throat came a long growl. The sound was like a horn from ancient times, from the era of slash-and-burn farming to the era of roaring steam, resounding throughout the universe.
"...There are really monsters." Duan Feizhuo has seen many incredible scenes in his life, but this scene in front of him is definitely the most well-deserved one.
He was mentally prepared to fail the mission. The North Pole is sleeping with the pets of the Forerunners, which sounds absurd at first glance.
But everything is true.
Simon greeted him ecstatically, "My friend, I finally see you! Please listen to my words from the bottom of my heart, I hope..."
"Wait. I heard a strange sound!" Duan Feizhuo hastily interrupted him.
Not from the bottom of the water, but from the sky.
The roar of smoke, the scream of gears rubbing against each other, the roar of steel colliding with each other...
Duan Feizhuo recognized the sound—it was the sound of an ether crystal steam-powered engine running.
A small black dot appeared on the horizon.
The steam airship, bathed in the polar sunlight, was speeding towards them like a Valkyrie on the go.
Z narrowed his eyes, and stroked his silver hair disheveled by the cold wind. "It appears that the struggle on board has come to an end."
Will the rebels win, or the loyalists?
Of course Duan Feizhuo hoped that the Loyalists would win a big victory. But he faintly had an ominous premonition. The spies on board would not attack Colonel Freeman without being fully prepared. Since they dared to murder the colonel at sea, it showed that the spies had fully grasped the rebellion.
However, it doesn't matter if the traitor side wins. As long as it is human beings who control the airship, it is the best news for Duan Feizhuo.
He would rather fight a whole ship of traitors than face some ancient Leviathan!
The huge figure of the airship blocked the sunlight and cast a heavy shadow.
The monster of the lake twisted its long neck and turned its sea-serpent head toward the strange man-made craft in the sky.
The Wellington just hovered over their heads, not even intending to descend at all.
The hull rotated to align the flanks in the direction of the lake.
The brass-colored casing was unscrewed like a lotus blossom, revealing a whole row of forts.
Wait, the Wellington is supposed to be...
"Get down!" Z roared.
He grabbed Duan Feizhuo with one hand and forced him to the ground.
