Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 622: Meeting for the First Time (2)

Beowulf couldn't come up with a better solution, so he just followed Flamel's method.

When EVA woke up, Beowulf was by her side. She looked around in confusion and at a loss, as if Beowulf did not exist. After a long time, she finally set her eyes on Beowulf.

EVA didn't speak, and Beowulf remained silent.

Ten years passed in a flash. For this girl who had stayed on the seabed ice for a long time, the world was so strange that she could hardly distinguish between reality and dreams.

EVA had a very long dream, in which the scene of her and Fingel's death kept repeating. There was no light in the place flooded by darkness and sea water.

She walked aimlessly in the darkness for a long time.

"Fingal von Frings is waiting for you." Finally, Beowulf spoke first.

EVA did not recognize this old man with a strange look, so strange that it was a little scary. Beowulf did not look like an ordinary half-blood. The dragon blood he drank when he was young made it impossible for him to suppress the signs of dragonization as he got older, but his stability was unquestionable.

Finkel von Frings, when EVA heard this name, she was in a trance for a while.

"Where is this?" she asked.

"Iceland, Kassel Academy branch." Beowulf took out the black authority card representing the identity of the principal, "I am Beowulf, the temporary principal of Kassel Academy. Welcome back, EVA."

"It is……"

"August 2011, 8," Beowulf said.

EVA fell silent again. After a long silence, she said, "Take me to see Finkel."

"Norma has sorted out what happened during this period. You can slowly understand it."

From then on, Beowulf allowed the awakened EVA and Fingel to meet, and they met across the long river of history and across the door of life and death.

From behind the cell door came Finkel's voice complaining about the food being bad and the lack of wine.

He seemed to have a premonition of something, and his words stopped abruptly. He turned around instinctively and saw the girl.

Beowulf was standing next to EVA, but Fingel treated him as transparent.

What does Fingle love?

Delicious food? That's what you need when you're hungry.

Drinks? That's what you crave when you're in a state of nothingness.

This world? Come on, he doesn't love this world at all, he doesn't have such great ambitions.

The girl he has always loved is this one.

All memories are like paintings on a white wall, only faded traces are left after being weathered by wind and rain.

As time passed by, he could not muster the beast-like pride.

The plate in his hand lost its support and fell to the ground with a clang, waking the dreamer up.

"You're awake." Finkel whispered as he walked forward. "That guy didn't lie to me. I know he didn't lie to me."

He had obviously eaten, so he wasn't hungry here, but his steps were unsteady. By the time he reached the metal door, he was already unsteady on his feet and needed to hold on to the door to stand up straight.

"It's great, it's great that you are still alive..." Finkel reached out and gently touched EVA's face.

But as if he was afraid of something, he quickly retracted it.

What was he afraid of? He was afraid that the person so close to him would not recover, just like a porcelain doll that would break if touched.

But after Beowulf took over these victims of the Greenland Sea, he provided them with the most comprehensive medical equipment, and their physical problems were solved before they woke up.

So EVA can take the initiative to hold Fingel's hand and hold it tightly.

"Although I haven't figured out what's going on, I'm very happy to see you." EVA said with a sweet smile.

Even the ice in the Far North melted under this smile.

"You seem a little different." She moved closer and looked into Finkel's eyes closely.

"I'm old." Finkel tried his best to force a smile, but he couldn't muster the confidence he had before. "You are still as beautiful as before. It's not just the past that is frozen."

Meeting you is like our first encounter, you are still as charming as before, while I am getting old.

EVA didn't know what had happened over the years. She could only feel endless loneliness, solitude and exhaustion from this man.

"Sorry, I have to interrupt you." Beowulf suddenly said, "The time left for you to meet is short. Although such words will affect the atmosphere, I still have to say it."

"I know, Principal Beowulf." Finkel closed his eyes and forced the tears back into his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he looked as cheerful as ever. "I think I'm in trouble again. I need your help, EVA."

"Okay." EVA doesn't ask what the trouble is.

There were so many things that were not clear, but it was good to see him.

"I'll try my best." said EVA.

"Principal Beowulf will tell you what to do. You will meet my masterpiece, which is also what you wanted to create in the first place." Finkel said, "You will like her. You and her are the best partners. Except for you, no one can bring out her full potential."

"You mean Norma?" EVA asked.

"Yes, although many technologies have developed greatly in recent years, it is not a difficult thing for you." Finkel believes that EVA can solve the problems that the academy has not solved for many years.

"You should let go. It won't be too late to hold on again after I finish my business." EVA reminded.

Finkel reluctantly let go of his hand and began to dance excitedly in the cell. His movements were a little unfamiliar, but he still danced vigorously.

After a short dance, he turned around and snapped his fingers: "My girl is reliable. Principal Beowulf, please bring me another meal and a bottle of wine."

"You still like drinking so much." EVA smiled silently.

"I think I can drink with confidence from now on. When you are free, I will tell you about my experiences over the years. I met a group of good people. They are very reliable. With them around, I probably don't need to work so hard and there is no chance for me to make mistakes." Finkel said.

"The time has come." Beowulf used his age and behavior to show what it means to be stubborn.

No matter what kind of warm meeting or sweet love you have, Beowulf is just an old man.

Maybe he had some confidantes many years ago, but now, they have either turned into skeletons or are as old as him. There is nothing to see and nothing worth remembering.

Those who drink dragon blood only need to remember the blood of dragons. Love will only affect the speed at which Beowulf draws his sword.

EVA followed Beowulf and left. At the end of the passage, it was exactly the limit of the view of the cell where Fingel was. She turned back and waved to Fingel, not to say goodbye, but to be glad to meet him again.

Why do you always wave goodbye when you meet someone and when you leave?

Because you are too insecure, I want to tell you that leaving is meeting again, so you won’t be afraid.
