Odin's figure could already be caught in the rearview mirror.
With his astonishing eyesight, Cao Han was even able to clearly see the undisguised impotent rage within the sun-like shimmering light emanating from Odin's golden eyes.
The existence of the door was established at the very beginning of the Nibelungen, and the rules for entering and exiting cannot be easily changed even by its owner.
"Sayonara, Odin."
Just moments before it was within reach, the Maybach plunged into the light curtain and disappeared into the Nibelungen.
……
On July 3, 2004, Typhoon Dandelion (No. 0407) ravaged this coastal city for three days.
For people who have lived in this city for a long time, this is just an ordinary thing and has not affected their pace of life at all.
Many working people even expressed their gratitude for the hard-won three-day holiday brought by the typhoon.
Of course, the typhoon still brought a lot of trouble to the city. For example, although the elevated road was closed in time, some drivers who were overconfident and didn't believe in the danger still drove onto it.
Finally, forced by the astonishing power of the wind and rain, they had to stop on the spot and huddle inside the car to endure the storm all night, waiting for rescue to arrive the next day.
In the midst of the chaotic scene, no one would likely notice a Maybach 62 that had quietly slipped away.
Not to mention that this type of car is rare even in the entire city, just glancing at the license plate wouldn't make any traffic police officer think twice and ask to check it. At most, they would just ask if you need help.
Both Chu Tianjiao and Cao Han breathed a sigh of relief.
If someone were to rummage through the car and discover this enormous bronze coffin, they wouldn't know how to explain it.
Bronze artifacts are strictly prohibited in the country!
If someone were to capture such a large bronze coffin, they would be stuck with a sewing machine for at least ten years.
Cao Han was well aware that even if Chu Tianjiao were found out, he would definitely have a way to deal with the matter. The problem was that the other party was currently in the stage of hiding his identity.
"Brother Cao, do you have a place to stay?"
"No."
"If not, then come to my place first. It's an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere, and normally no one goes there."
"I'll follow your arrangements, Uncle Chu."
In any case, they had escaped from Nibelungen together and had gone through thick and thin together.
Moreover, Chu Tianjiao did this partly out of personal motives, or perhaps it was driven by a sense of justice from his past as a member of Kassel College.
If we were to let Cao Han, a guy with an unknown identity who could go toe-to-toe with Odin, enter the world of ordinary people...
Such actions are tantamount to dropping a walking nuclear bomb on the human world!
The three of them and their car quickly arrived at the abandoned building that looked eerie and terrifying from the outside, but once inside, they discovered that it was actually a hidden paradise.
This place is clearly a "secret base".
Aside from the furniture that can be used daily, the most eye-catching thing is the wall of weapons.
The entire wall was covered with various long guns and short cannons printed with silver-white World Tree leaves; the firepower alone was enough to start a low-intensity, small-scale war.
"Sorry~ Sorry~"
Cao Han, who hadn't controlled his strength and caused the bronze coffin to crack noticeably when it hit the smooth ceramic tiles, quickly apologized.
"Son, let me take you home first, otherwise your mother will worry."
After settling Cao Han in, Chu Tianjiao's first thought was about his son, Chu Zihang. Time was limited, and there was no time to explain many things in detail.
However, Chu Zihang had already seen the cell phone that had regained communication the moment he left Nibelungen.
His mother, as always, was oblivious to everything. Her son had been gone for almost three days without making a single phone call or even sending a text message.
Having read the original work, Cao Han naturally knew what was going on, but on the surface, he pretended to be completely unaware and asked with a surprised expression:
"Uncle Chu, doesn't Zihang live with you?"
"Uh... the situation is like this, I'm divorced from Zihang's mother. As you know, my situation is a bit special, so he usually lives with his mother."
"I see." Upon hearing this, Cao Han nodded and gave the former a "I understand" look, then stood up and reopened the bronze coffin.
"Come, come, Brother Zihang, come and pick out a gift you like."
Upon hearing about the opportunity to witness the wondrous alchemical tools, Chu Zihang's usually icy demeanor couldn't help but reveal curiosity and anticipation.
Before long, Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao were both gathered around the bronze coffin, peering inside to see what was happening.
Hey!
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; the bronze coffin was filled with all sorts of random things, the most numerous of which were probably various kinds of weapons.
"How about I give you a weapon? These are all rare and precious alchemical weapons. I noticed you kept glancing at your dad's katana, Zihang.
What do you think of this Takemikazuchi?
This is a legendary sword, its quality in no way inferior to the one in Uncle Chu's hand.
If you don't like using knives, that's fine too. I also have swords here. How about this ancient octagonal Han sword...?
Which boy can resist the allure of wielding swords and spears?
Having witnessed the power of Chu Tianjiao's Murasame sword, which could cut through iron like mud, and seeing that Cao Han also wielded a long, jet-black sword, Chu Zihang, the "Sword Saint of the Young Palace," developed a strong interest in swords.
Chapter 22 A Call with the Other Side of the Ocean
"Simply put, once you see those distorted and insane images, you are no longer an ordinary person."
On the way home alone with Chu Zihang, Chu Tianjiao tried to explain the world of mixed-race people to his son in the most concise way possible.
"It's like the old Chinese saying: 'Like begets like.' Your father's bloodline is different from humans, so it's normal that you inherited it from me."
The man scratched his head, his tone flat, "Never mind, let's not talk about this now. I'll explain it to you slowly later when we have time..."
Chu Zihang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
At fifteen, his maturity was evident; his youthful face couldn't hide anything.
"Relax~ Don't be fooled by Brother Cao's seemingly fierce appearance. Actually, your father is quite strong as well. Besides, that's the worst-case scenario. We might not even end up fighting."
There is no doubt about the power of Kassel College, or rather, the Secret Service, throughout the world.
Previously, it was thought that this was unnecessary, but this time, Chu Tianjiao, who had escaped death in the Nibelungen, not only contacted his old friend Angers, whom he had not seen for many years, but also asked him to investigate a young man named "Cao Han".
at the same time.
Inside the principal's office at Kassel College, far across the ocean.
"Norma, use your highest level of authority to investigate this young man named 'Cao Han'."
“Received, Principal Angers.”
Subsequently, Angers received an investigation report. Upon seeing the final result stating "no suitable candidate," he frowned and sensed something was wrong.
For Chu Tianjiao, a brilliant alumnus who ranks among the top ten super executives of Kassel College in the past century, the top-secret mission he is currently carrying out is known to very few people in the entire Kassel College and even the Secret Service.
No more than three people knew the inside story, one of whom was Angers.
Especially after learning about Chu Tianjiao's experience of entering Nibelungen and meeting Odin, after much thought, the two reached a common conclusion:
Odin's appearance was no accident!
It's currently unclear whether this information is only known to Odin; if it were to spread...
It seems that before this war against pure-blooded dragons has even begun, various ambitious individuals within the hybrid race have already started a civil war!
Out of various concerns, Angers decided to call Chu Tianjiao back.
"It's been a long time, Principal Angers."
"You've worked hard all these years, Tianjiao. Now, tell me your judgment."
The situation was urgent, and neither of them had time for pleasantries; they quickly got down to business.
Chu Tianjiao on the phone fell into a brief silence. "My initial assessment is that he was unaware of the situation and had no malicious intent!"
In Nibelungen, the other side had every opportunity to abandon us and leave on his own, but he did not.
Of course, these are my personal judgments and may not be accurate. I will test them one last time.
if......
That's all. My son awakened his spiritual bloodline in the Nibelungen, and he's a great young man!
Chu Tianjiao was naturally extremely unwilling for his son, Chu Zihang, to enter the world of mixed-race people and repeat the same mistakes by going to Kassel College and following his old path.
But now he has already presented his image to Cao Han.
He dared not gamble, gambled that the other party would abide by the unwritten rule of "not harming family members".
"I will have the executives cooperate with you."
"No need! Principal, you should understand, right? Numbers are meaningless in the face of time zero!" Chu Tianjiao politely declined Angers' support. "On the bright side, maybe this guy is the one you've been looking for to lead the pride."
"I hope so."
Out of caution, Angers decided to take a double precaution: "I will keep Sleibnir in a state where he can take off at any time."
I will get to you as quickly as possible if needed!
And you, my friend, just need to stall until I arrive, understand?!
The relationship between the two is more like that of a teacher and a friend.
While at Kassel College, Chu Tianjiao learned swordsmanship and the application of the Word of Power: Time Zero from Angers.
After the call ended, Angers took a puff of his Cohiba cigar but no longer enjoyed it as usual; he could only quietly wait for the result.
……
After the Chu family father and son left.
Alone on the sofa, Cao Han lay sprawled, staring blankly at the white ceiling, his mind preoccupied with a very serious question:
What are our plans for the future?!
What's frustrating is that his mind goes completely blank for a while, and he can't think of anything he particularly wants to do.
Before transmigrating to this world, Cao Han was just an ordinary person.
