Chapter 109 Mythic Epic

Chapter 109 Mythic Epic

The group of people walked neither fast nor slowly, and Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be becoming more and more proficient at translating. Things like written language would always feel unfamiliar when they are not used, and he was getting familiar with them again at this time.

Through these murals engraved on the bronze walls, the thoughts of Lu Chen and others were brought into the mythical history. If what was recorded above were true, how powerful were the gods of that era?

Lu Chen was a little ready to make a move. This was not only the so-called extraordinary power, the life on the mural was a god!

They did not interrupt Yuan Zhisheng's narration, but they would also discuss the content on the mural in a low voice.

For example, when Yuan Zhisheng mentioned that "Buli, the ancestor of the gods, gave birth to a son named Bao'er alone." Lu Chen curiously asked how a male god could give birth to a child alone.

Chu Zihang and Caesar couldn't explain why, because although they had read Norse mythology and knew about it, they thought most of the Norse mythology was nonsense. What's the point of a male god giving birth to a son alone?

But this incident is clearly recorded on this mural, which is somewhat intriguing.

But this is not the point of the problem. Didn't Black King Nidhogg "give birth" to the four dragon kings alone? The point of the problem is that if the so-called ancestor of the gods really exists, then a problem will arise.

According to their understanding of Nordic mythology, Bulli was not born from Ymir, the ancestor of the giants. In other words, the so-called bloodline of the gods is likely to be different from the dragon clan they know.

They discussed in a low voice. Caesar and Chu Zihang made various academic arguments. They were wondering whether there would be "gods" that were completely different from the dragons in the world.

Lu Chen didn't have that much to think about. Just listening to Yuan Zhisheng tell this story that was very strange to him, his brain was occupied.

When he heard Yuan Zhisheng talk about how Baoer snatched a giantess Bestela as his wife, and later gave birth to three children, Odin, Willy and Wei, he was completely confused.

What about asexual reproduction?

So he raised his hand and asked Chu Zihang and Caesar in a low voice: "I know this question seems a bit obscene, but I definitely asked it out of curiosity..."

Lu Chen interrupted the discussion between Chu Zihang and Caesar, paused and asked: "...How do you think Baoer, a male god about the same size as a human, gave birth to the son of the gods with a female giant the size of a mountain? The king’s?”

Chu Zihang and Caesar were stunned. Their focus was mainly on the most primitive father of the gods. Does it belong to the same lineage as the dragon clan they now know, and Lu Chen's focus was actually this?

Chu Zihang analyzed it carefully and explained: "...Reproductive isolation should not work on those ancient god-level characters."

Caesar held his forehead and said, "I think that's not what Brother Lu is asking. If you insist on explaining it, I think you can refer to the vulgar joke about hiding in a cave from the rain."

Lu Chen was a little confused: "A cave to take shelter from the rain?"

Caesar looked embarrassed. With his character, he couldn't tell such a vulgar joke. He just heard it before, "You can go back and ask your roommate, he will definitely know."

Yuan Zhisheng finally couldn't help it anymore, "Everyone, please lower your voice a little, I need to concentrate."

He thought to himself that you guys should just discuss academic issues related to the dragon clan. Now he actually started to discuss how gods had children with giants. However, this was not the key to interrupting his train of thought. The main reason why he was interrupted was Because he's heard that joke too...

Come on, we are trapped in the Nibelungs now, and there is not much oxygen. Can you be serious, you idiots! ?

Lu Chen and others shrugged and stopped the topic, while Yuan Zhisheng continued to translate.

It has to be said that the dragon clan who carved this mural is really talented in telling stories. Even if Lu Chen and others could not understand the annotations above, they could roughly tell what happened at that time through the pictures.

The events recorded on the murals are generally not very different from the Nordic mythology. The only slight differences are the seniority and kinship relationships of some gods and giants. This is not the focus of Chu Zihang and others.

The myth continued until Ymir was killed, and the gods used his body to create the world. Ymir's head became the sky, his brain became the clouds, his body became the earth, his blood became the ocean, his bones became mountains, and his hair became into trees. When Ymir's body rotted, maggots sprouted, and these maggots turned into light elves and dark elves.

Lu Chen couldn't help but complained again, "I can no longer look directly at creatures like elves."

He and Fingel watched a lot of anime when they were staying in the dormitory, and some of them were about elves. Originally, in his mind, elves were the embodiment of beauty, but he didn't expect that in Nordic mythology, maggots turned into...

They continued to move forward, and the records on the murals started from the creation of the world after Ymir's death, and they became different from the Nordic mythology that Chu Zihang and Caesar were familiar with.

Mainly in terms of divine status. Although the powers of the main gods are not much different, many second- and third-tier gods are completely different from those recorded in Nordic mythology.

The process of creating human beings is not as beautiful as recorded in Nordic mythology. The gods do not need people to believe in them. They just need some humble servants to help them take care of the courtyard of the World Tree.

The story continues until the end of Ragnarok. The Black Dragon King Nidhogg gnawed away the roots of the World Tree. Jormungandr, Fenrir, Loki, the God of Trickery, and the Frost Giants... launched an attack on the Kingdom of God. A devastating attack.

Odin, the king of gods, was the first to fight, and was bitten to death by Fenrir, the vengeful troll who broke the cursed chain. Then Fenrir was pierced through the heart by Odin's son Vader with a spear.

Jormungandr is a giant snake that surrounds the World Tree. It fights with Thor, God of Thunder, and dies together.

…

This was a tragic battle, with almost everyone on both sides perishing. In the mural, Nidhogg flapped his wings and flew on the battlefield loaded with corpses. He devoured all dead creatures and used their flesh and blood to create a supreme divine body. There is no creature more powerful than him in this world.

Lu Chen looked at Nidhogg on the mural. The majesty and cruelty of the ancient times seemed to jump out from the mural. He seemed to be able to hear the roar of the black dragon in the world.

"This isn't right."

Caesar frowned, and Chu Zihang was also deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

For Lu Chen, this was just his first time seeing this story.

"If what is recorded on this mural is true, then although the content here is different from the Norse mythology, it is generally correct. However, there are several points that do not make sense."

Caesar looked at the Black Dragon King on the mural and the scene of the fall of the gods, and felt that there was some conflict in logic.

Chu Zihang continued what Caesar said: "First, if the records on the murals are true, then the black dragon Nidhogg is not the origin of the 'gods', and in the records here, Jormungandr and Finn The myths of Lille, which have been passed down as the names of dragon kings in history, should have fallen in that war, but as far as we know, the dragon kings are still alive and were created by Nidhogg."

Caesar nodded, "That doesn't make sense, and according to the description above, Nidhogg no longer looks like a supreme king, but rather like a thief who made a lot of war fortune."

Yuan Zhisheng spoke at this time, "Don't worry, there seems to be a follow-up."

He looked forward. There were no pictures in the murals behind, just lines of text, which seemed to record more secret information.

After Yuan Zhisheng read it, his face was a little strange, and he even couldn't laugh or cry. He looked at a few people and said, "It actually says that the mural in front is not necessarily the real history, but just what he inferred from the king's dictation."

Caesar:…

Chu Zihang:......

Lu Chen was also stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, are the Dragon Clan so naughty?

I listened to it for a long time. Is it really just a story?

Finally Caesar came to his senses, and he finally understood where the sense of disobedience in his heart came from.

"Think about it. The dragons were all created by Nidhogg. It should be after Ragnarok. The owner here cannot have experienced that time. The content on the mural is not very credible."

Although he said this, he continued to use his camera to take pictures of these murals. Even if the credibility is not high, it is much more credible than the secret party's reference from the original Norse mythology.

"Yuanjun, you just mentioned his king, then who is his king...?"

Chu Zihang grasped the key to the problem.

Yuan Zhisheng did not reply immediately, but continued to read the words written on the wall. The result was as he expected. He was a little confused whether to tell the truth or not.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth. The secret party had already intervened in this investigation, and half of the secrets of God had been revealed. The so-called God might even be in this Nibelung, and they were about to face it. Against a powerful enemy, he cannot conceal information about the enemy from his comrades.

"His king is the... white emperor."

Yuan Zhisheng's words had a greater impact on several people than the various contents on the mural just now, and they all fell into silence for a while.

Caesar whistled, "Oh, it seems we really caught the big guy's tail this time."

However, he is not too worried about whether the owner of this place is the white emperor. The death of the white king is clearly recorded in the history of the Dragon Clan, and it is also testable for the secret party.

"It says that He is a person who committed a great crime and was once deprived of his freedom by the King, but He still appreciates the King's kindness and is willing to wait for the King's return."

Yuan Zhisheng continued to translate.

"Return? Can the White King be resurrected?"

Chu Zihang said doubtfully.

Yuan Zhisheng was not in a very good mood at this time. The fateful curse of the eight Sheqi families was once again confirmed to be true. It is really possible for the white emperor to return. Will God grant blessings to future generations at that time?

Obviously not, that is just the words of the fierce ghosts to deceive their subordinates. Dragons have always been cruel, and hybrids are dirty bastards in their eyes, serving as food, slaves, and nutrients!

He could imagine that if the white emperor revived and wanted to make up for himself, the first thing he would do was devour all the hybrids from the eight Sheqi families!

"We can only believe now that the white emperor is not completely dead, and he will still return someday."

Yuan Zhisheng's voice was a little low, not only for the possible resurrection of King Bai, but also because of their current situation.

After passing this wall, another mural appeared, the first one, and they "circled" back again.

Lu Chen looked at the oxygen count. It was already less than eight minutes. They didn't have much time.

Everyone was silent for a while. Lu Chen was thinking about ways to violently break through the Nibelungen, while Caesar and Chu Zihang were calculating and analyzing.

"Brother Lu, you said before that this is a bit like the ghosts fighting against the wall in your hometown. So, in your place, is there any good way to get rid of the ghosts fighting against the wall?"

Caesar asked. He knew very little about the Nibelung Secret Party. It was the first time he had encountered it and he really had no clue.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, "I've only heard of it. There are probably two theories. The former says that ghosts break into walls to confuse the senses of intruders. As long as they close their eyes and keep walking forward, they can walk out. The other is I don’t think that statement is reliable.”

"What is it?"

Caesar wondered.

Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Chen and Caesar, and said calmly: "Child pee."

Caesar was stunned for a moment, but he thought about it seriously and said, "How about... let's give it a try?"

Then he attracted three looks, full of doubts, and he didn't know what aspect they were questioning.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking. Brother Chu, do you have any idea?"

Caesar waved his hand and looked at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang didn't speak, and was deep in thought. There should be an exit from the Nibelung, but judging from the fact that they had never seen other creatures or dragons, they had not yet fully entered the Nibelung.

It is impossible for a giant dragon to live in this long corridor. This is obviously a place similar to a passage or pavilion.

In other words, there should be something like an exit or entrance in this corridor!

He suddenly realized a problem and immediately asked Xiang Yuan Zhisheng, "Mr. Yuan, look at these words. Does it mention the white emperor? Which god is he in the mythology?"

Yuan Zhisheng also suddenly woke up. Yes, the records on the murals match up with many dragon legends in later generations, but what about King Bai?

What role did King Bai play in that mythical epic? ?

If what the person who carved this mural said is true, and many of the contents on the mural were inferred from the king's dictation, then the White King... should be a creature that has existed since the mythical era!

The White King was not created by the Black King!

The contradiction in the history of the Dragon Clan was finally solved. Why did the Black King create a creature whose strength was not inferior to his own, and ended up becoming his enemy?

If the creation of the four dragon kings can be understood as an essential difference in power and an act of self-confidence, then the act of creating the white king itself is unreasonable.

No emperor is willing to share the world with others!

What's more, he created a second emperor by himself.

Yuan Zhisheng frantically searched between the lines while recalling the murals he had seen before, but in the end the light in his eyes became darker and darker, and finally he punched the bronze wall.

"No, no, there is no mention of which god the White King is!"
