The morning comes to Baidi City among the colorful clouds, and the thousand-mile journey to the tombs returns in one day.

As the west gate of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Qutang Gorge is the shortest and most majestic and steep.

The roaring river flows through the twists and turns of the canyon, breaks through Kuimen, and roars away.

But today, the river was rarely calm, with neither wind, rain nor sunshine.

The Monyach sailed on the Yangtze River at a slow speed and was overtaken by passing ships from time to time.

Captain Mans Rundstedt stood in front of the window of the pilothouse, calmly watching the thousands of sailboats passing by, the cigar in his hand glowing with a dull flame.

"Captain, the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration informed us that there will be a storm coming in one day, and the wind force will reach level 10 or above. They suggested that we stop sailing and return to the harbor to take shelter from the rain."

The third officer took off his headphones and said.

"Stormy?"

Mance looked at the rugged water and fell into deep thought.

Although Qutang Gorge is famous for its strong winds and waves, he has studied the hydrological data of the past twenty years and found that the highest wind speed has only reached level 8.

The weather has been mild this year, and a sudden strong wind of force 10 is obviously a problem.

"I have a hunch that we are close to the target."

Mance said to himself.

"That would be great. We don't have to hang around on the water all the time. To be honest, I'm a little seasick."

The girl sitting in front of the screen said without raising her head. She was about twenty-three or four years old, with black hair and a typical Latin beauty appearance.

"Don't vomit in my cab, otherwise the cleaning fee will deduct all your wages."

Mance said without emotion.

The Latin girl stuck out her tongue and pretended to spit it out.

"Stop playing tricks, Thelma, how are their life signals?"

he asked.

"everything is normal."

Two intertwined heartbeats echoed in the earphones. In Selma's monitoring window, the rising and falling green light spots indicated that the two young hearts were still beating normally.

Jumping fifty meters below the surface of the water.

"Should we let them continue diving?"

she asked.

At the current depth, nothing useful has been found.

Mance was just about to nod when the two green light spots dazzled him for a while.

Schneider's ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as that cold and hoarse voice.

"No, wait a minute."

Mance came back to his senses and shook his head.

Under Selma's confused eyes, he walked aside and took out his cell phone.

"Principal, I have something to ask you for advice."

Mance made a phone call.

Late at night in Kassel, the lights were still on in the principal's office.

When young people are already exhausted, Angers, an old man over a hundred years old, is still full of energy.

He held a delicate embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped the non-existent dust on the folding knife. He lowered his eyes and wondered what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the landline phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.

"Professor Mance, I'm glad to receive your call so late. I believe you must have some good news to tell me. If it's bad news, wait until I get some sleep first."

Angers picked up the phone and made a joke.

"There is no good news and no bad news. The storm is coming. I suspect it is a sign of the target."

Professor Manns said calmly.

"Oh, then this should be considered good news. Is there anything you want me to do?"

Angers sat up straight.

The "Kuimen Plan" has been implemented for some time. He originally thought that this was a long-term battle. The popularization of Chinese education in Kassel was also related to this plan.

Unexpectedly, Professor Manns gave him a surprise today.

"Has your S-class returned from Japan?"

Professor Manns asked.

"Mingfei is back, you can't even imagine what he did this time."

Upon hearing this, Ange became even more elated.

"I can't imagine it, but I'm willing to listen."

The corners of Professor Mance's mouth twitched, but for the sake of future plans, he could only satisfy the principal's desire to show off.

"He and his club members dived into the seabed more than 8,000 meters deep, using bombs and alchemy bombs to destroy ancient dragon embryos and an ancient alchemy city. They also killed thousands of alchemy deadpools and a pure-blood dragon.

puppet."

Angers was like a park man boasting about his promising grandson, excitedly talking about the process of Lu Mingfei's destruction of Gao Tianyuan.

"Eight thousand meters under the sea, an alchemy city?"

Professor Manns captured two key words.

"Yes, this is an unprecedented feat."

Angers emphasized.

He is not just showing off, Professor Manns is the backbone of Kassel, and Lu Mingfei cannot do without his support if he wants to control Kassel in the future.

"really."

Professor Manns said nonchalantly.

But Ange's description really solidified his idea. If this was a coincidence, it was a match made in heaven.

"Principal, I would like to ask you to send Lu Mingfei to participate in the Kuimen Project."

Professor Manns said.

"Professor Mance, have you discovered any clues?"

Angers asked.

"No, but my intuition tells me that this operation will not go too smoothly. One incident in Greenland is enough. I don't want my students to become ghosts under the water."

Professor Manns said solemnly.

Angers didn't speak for a moment. Although the mission was directly authorized by the school board of directors, he was still responsible for the destruction of the Greenland team.

"I understand, and I will try my best to persuade Xing Fei to participate in the operation."

After a while, he said slowly.

Although Lu Mingfei has always been interested in hunting down the dragon clan, he has been very busy recently, and even eats in the equipment department.

Under such circumstances, Angers did not dare to guarantee that he would definitely agree.

"Please hurry up, the storm is coming soon."

Professor Manns hung up the phone.

Angers listened to the busy tone on the receiver and was stunned for a while.

Then he put down the receiver and dialed again.

Almost instantly, a harsh quarrel came from the other end.

"Mingfei, you haven't rested so late."

Ange rubbed his ears, and his voice became louder unconsciously.

"Still talking about material proportions, wait a moment."

Lu Mingfei seemed to be moving on the other end of the phone, and after more than ten seconds, the world became quiet.

"it's OK now."

Lu Mingfei's voice sounded again.

"That's right, Professor Mans Rundstedt is looking for the suspected whereabouts of the Palace of the Lord of Bronze and Fire on the Yangtze River and is asking for your support."

Angers said succinctly.
