Volume 3: The Exotic Path, Chapter 10: The Ruins of Asa (3)
For some reason, as soon as Li Jun said this, he suddenly became a little strange.
In fact, long before coming here, everyone had a hunch that as the outbreak of an epic divine war like "Ragnarok", which wiped out an entire god race, the danger of it can be imagined.
Li Jun leaned into Taibai Xingjun, and he was the incarnation of Taibai Xing, which is the so-called Venus of today's people.
In ancient and modern times, both in the East and in the West, Venus has always been a symbol of war. Metal, knife soldiers, killing, it can be said that Li Juntian, who is the incarnation of Venus, has a natural vigilance against danger.
In addition to Li Juntian, when the gods present first stepped into this villa, they all invariably experienced symptoms of scalp tingling and rapid heartbeat-this is exactly the accurate prediction of danger brought about by the powerful spiritual power of the Protoss. Before that, Yang Jian had learned from Athena that this place was originally the private villa of a wealthy businessman, but since the villa was built, there have been no supernatural incidents such as missing people and unexplained casualties. It can be seen that the magic array hidden here is not only dangerous, but also has a very high level of self-identification.
But let's emphasize this something that everyone knows...... Although there is nothing wrong with it, it doesn't seem to be of much use, especially when Athena hears that Li Juntian seems to be simply interrupting her words.
"Ahem," Apollo, who had always chosen to remain silent like Li Juntian, cleared his throat a little embarrassedly, trying to break the delicate atmosphere, and he also sensed a hint of something strange, "In this place, the smell of flames is very strong. β
"Oh?" As soon as these words came out, Athena suddenly understood something.
Although Apollo was not a true sun god, he was a true god of light, and in the ancient world, before the advent of electric light, fire was almost synonymous with light. As the god of light, Apollo's sensitivity to fire is naturally beyond doubt.
"The breath of fire. Yang Jian, who was on the plate, also interjected, "The fire god of the Nordic god clan seems to be the guy who takes pleasure in pranks, right?"
"It should be. Apollo chimed in.
"Interesting. Athena's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth curled in a subtle arcβthose who knew her well knew that whenever she made such an expression, it was when she was thinking seriously.
"If it's not an illusion, the breath of this flame seems to be spreading beyond the barrier. Apollo continued.
"In other words......" Apollo, who was analyzing the breath, suddenly closed his mouth.
"The fun-loving Vulcan we know as we all know him did not come to an end in 'twilight'. Athena picked up Apollo's words, and judging by Apollo's reaction, it seemed that this was exactly what he was trying to say.
"Or, can we think like this," compared to these two, Yang Jian's conclusion was even more shocking, "This fluctuation of the fire element is actually the 'door' he used to close the enchantment?"
As soon as these words came out, both Apollo and Athena fell silent. It's just that they are both silent, but there is an essential difference between the two: Apollo really chose to give up thinking, while the light in Athena's eyes was a little brighter, and she obviously already had her own calculations in her heart.
Of course, this is not to say that Apollo was a brave and reckless man, it can only be said that it is nature. After all, it can be seen from the character of the god-king Zeus that the Olympian gods he commanded were a group of gods who pursued their own self and pursued pleasure. It is their pursuit to live comfortably and chicly, and at the same time to live beautifully and artistically. It is under this nature that Apollo has no scheming, scheming or other concepts at all, and his previous analysis of fire is just an almost instinctive feeling that he starts from the similarity between light and fire as the god of light.
However, no matter how silent everyone is present, they will not cancel today's action because of such a small episode.
I saw Yang Jian take out his mobile phone, manipulate it a few times at random, and then pointed the camera at a very retro fireplace in the hall, which is the source of everyone's sense of crisis - the entrance to the enchantment.
Then, a moon white six-pointed star appeared above the fireplace.
Suddenly, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into the fireplace, countless brilliant and magnificent lights poured out of the six-pointed star and flowed into the fireplace.
After doing all this, Yang Jian shrugged his shoulders, walked to the sofa, and found a seat next to Qin Yingwu to sit on.
"Cool boss!" Qin Yingwu looked at Yang Jian's mobile phone with wide eyes, full of envy.
"Oops!"
Yang Jian stretched out his hand and rewarded Qin Yingwu with a burst chestnut, "It's not big or small, call me Shizun." β
"......" Qin Yingwu hugged his head with an aggrieved expression. Yang Jian looked at him and suddenly had an idea.
"Here," Yang Jian's fingers swiped across the screen like skating, bringing up an interface, and then handed the phone to Qin Yingwu, "Investigate your knowledge, do you recognize the words on it?"
"This ......" Qin Yingwu stared at the dense patterns on the screen, and said with some uncertainty, "It's the Ogan alphabet, right?"
"That's right. Yang Jian snapped his fingers, and then motioned for Qin Yingwu to look at the glowing fireplace, "This is the main body of this enchantment in front of us. β
"Huh?" Qin Yingwu felt as if something was wrong, "Shouldn't it be the ancient runi script of Scandinavia?"
Indeed, Qin Yingwu's doubts are not unreasonable. The Ogham alphabet is an alphabet system used in the early Middle Ages, mainly for writing Old Welsh and sometimes the Britonian languages, which can be regarded as the archaic script of the Celtic peoples (note (1)).
However, the problem is that the ruins of the "Asgard" of the Aesir gods they came to explore this time are the sacred domain of Norse mythology, and the arrangement of the enchantment and magic circle here should logically be based on the Runiwen of the Norse people who generally believe in Norse mythology (Note (2)).
This kid.
Yang Jian shook his head a little speechlessly, "You must not have listened well at school usually." β
"What?"
"High School Politics Compulsory 3, What Does Cultural Communication Say?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Historically, there were many conflicts between the Celts and the Germanic and Viking people who believed in Norse gods, and conflicts and wars were often an effective way to spread and blend cultures. And these exchanges, which are reflected in the gods, often represent the communion of each other. It's like the elven shrine appears in the Celtic legend of King Arthur and Norse mythology, of course, there are more complex reasons for the elves to love peace and maintain neutrality, but nothing else," Yang Jian glanced at Sun Wukong on the sofa - this guy was eating peaches intently, showing an indifferent look to everything around him - and continued, "It's like our Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for so long, but in the end, they still don't learn from each other and influence each other?"
"That's what I see. β
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the fireplace that seemed to be the iron door being opened, and all the light was gone.
Yang Jian's expression was grim.
"Gentlemen......" Yang Jian said solemnly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
Qin Yingwu, Sun Wukong, Li Juntian, Apollo, Athena.
"It's time. β

Exegesis:
Note (1): The tradition of the Ogan alphabet is to change the name of the letter to the name of the tree, hence the name "Celtic tree alphabet".
Note (2): Rune, also translated as Rune, was used in medieval Europe to write certain Nordic Germanic languages, especially in Scandinavia and the British Isles. The Rune script used in Scandinavia is called Futhark, and the Rune script used in Britain is called Futhorc, which has a strong religious flavor. In Germanic legend, Odin, the father of the gods, paid for the wisdom of Rune at the cost of losing his right eye in order to obtain the fountain of wisdom. The Rune Alphabet is a spell that can be carved into wood, stone, metal, or even any other material to gain immense power. In search of higher wisdom, Odin hung himself from a tree for nine days and nine nights to contemplate the mysteries of the universe.
