: Chapter 64: The Secret of the Nibelungs
In the Naoto plan, helping the ninja world to become stronger as a whole is a very important plan, because only the stronger the people in the ninja world become, the more reputation he will gain.
So when the meeting ended and Sandai and Orochimaru approached Menek to discuss, under the secret influence of Naoto, although he hesitated for a long time, he finally agreed to leave some of the weirdos in Konoha for them to study.
It's just that he, who knew nothing about Naoto's arrangement, was deeply shocked.
"How could such a thing happen..."
He frowned, "Even we don't know how long we have inherited it, the secret party who knows the truth of the myth best just thinks that Odin is just a fictional mythical character, but he actually exists? And he is still in Avalon. Actively prepare for battle…”
"And..." He raised his head and looked at Orochimaru again, his eyes suddenly turned into red gold like lava, and the dragon's might scattered, making Sandai and Orochimaru feel a little nervous, but after a while, those dazzling eyes It returned to normal.
"I actually entered the Nibelungen, that iconic mark can't be wrong..."
Of course, the so-called Nibelungen mark does not exist. Naoto is not so powerful now that he can directly create a different dimension, but as early as Menek was created and gave birth to a complete mind, he was completely hypnotized by the blue-stained mirror flower water moon. Now, under Aizen's control, what he feels is up to the straight person.
Although Menek is not his clone like everyone else, Naoto still has quite a strong control over him.
"It's Nibelungen again? What exactly is it?" Orochimaru couldn't help asking. He had heard Nibelungen several times in just a few days. Out of the instinct of a great scientist, He really wanted to explore these unknowns about the dragon race.
"It's the country of the dead, but it's not a 'Yellow Spring' in the conventional sense." Menek calmed himself down, then sat down and explained, "He is full of treasures."
"A country of the dead, but there are treasures in it? Is it a funerary thing?" Orochimaru rarely made a cold joke, but Menek didn't care, and continued.
"It is a holy place that all alchemists and wizards want to worship, because it is full of kingdoms made up of 'dead matter'."
"'Dead matter'?"
"Yes, in fact dead matter is the best material. For example, if you want to make gold, you must first kill silver, and if you want to make a sharp sword, you must first kill steel. And in the country of the dead, Nibelungen, Dead matter is everywhere. Alchemists once described that kingdom..."
He began to retell "There is no day or night in there, the sky is always half-dark, the ground and the mountains are bronze, made of dead earth and metal, the sky is gray, made of dead air , the flame is icy blue, made of the dead fire element, water cannot float anything, because water is also dead. There are cities there, built from the bones of dead life, and the fifth element 'spirit' is enriched in it, It can make the legendary 'Sage's Stone'. Even the dust there is worthless to the outside world! In mythology, someone used the gold inside to forge a ring with the magic power to rule the world."
"These are all from your myths?" Orochimaru pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard Chu Tianjiao say that on the day of the twilight of the gods, the sea was broken open, and a ship made of dead man's nails rose from the sea. , the ship is full of undead. That is the army of the land of the dead to wage war on the living."
"I always thought that this sentence meant that the Black King would return from the Yellow Springs and lead the undead to destroy all the living." Orochimaru thought, "In fact, that is to say, on the day of the Black King's return, he Will open Nibelungen on the day it returns to the world."
"That's right!" Menek was a little surprised, he didn't expect Orochimaru to be able to draw the correct conclusion from such a little information "In mythology, the black dragon Nidhogg is guarding the 'world tree' leading to' Next to the branch of the kingdom of the dead, he is the gatekeeper of the entrance. The secret party has spent tens of thousands of years chasing the legend of the kingdom of the dead, and its footprints are as far away as nine days and ten places, but we have not been able to find that mysterious country." "
"Aren't you in the Nibelungen?" The third Hokage frowned, and he found a loophole in Menek's words.
"The world we live in is nothing but a false Nibelung root that can be maintained with the help of something, incomparable to the real kingdom of the dead made of alchemy." Menek shrugged, "In fact, don't you find it strange? The dragons were different from the demons at the beginning. They were not the ravagers who destroyed the world, but the rulers who ruled the world. When those giant dragons roamed the sky and spread all over the world, no one could disobey them. Such a race is Like humans, they had brilliant civilizations, established regimes all over the world, and performed amazing miracles, but one day, all of them suddenly disappeared."
"It's really a little strange..." Orochimaru replied, "Even if it is covered up by history with the disappearance of civilization, it doesn't mean that there are no relics at all..."
Menek slowly raised his head, facing the window sill that was shining into the sun, let out a long breath, and said meaningfully, "They are all in the Nibelungen, that magical country is like a mysterious ghost. They are all lurking in the real history. We have spent countless efforts, but now it seems that only Mr. Chu Tianjiao who did not know how many years ago entered it. Of course, there are still You and Mr. Jiraiya."
He was silent for a moment, then stared at Orochimaru tightly, and said with some enthusiasm, "But it's different now! People who have been there will leave a unique mark on their body, and it will help you find the old way!"
"Mr. Orochimaru, maybe the dragon king behind the scenes has all kinds of calculations, but now, you have become the best opportunity for our hybrids to end their own lives!"
"You..." Orochimaru was not affected by Menac's fanaticism, but said calmly, "I know that you may have a deep obsession with the dragon family, but it is impossible for me to go to Avalon because of this obsession. ."
He took a deep breath, as if he had lingering fears, and spit out that deep-rooted fear, his eyes were faint, as if the scene of that day was reproduced.
At that moment, the wind was blowing violently, the sky and the sea were mixed into one, the holy light dyed the world golden, the gods slowly sailed forward, and the ripples seemed to impact the world.
He just raised his hand slowly, and easily subdued Chu Tianjiao, those red-gold eyes that didn't care about him, that smile that seemed to mock him for fleeing...
All this is deeply imprinted in his heart!
Sooner or later he will go to Avalon again one day!
Because there is true immortality there!
Sooner or later he will face Odin again one day!
Because he wants to overcome the nightmare in his heart!
But he wouldn't go because of Menek's request. He is a cautious person. If he is not completely sure, he will never take his own life as a bet!
