Chapter 31: Nidhogg

Outside the library gate is a corridor called the Retrograde Road, the corridor is built on a dragon's nest, in fact, the entire library is built in the dragon abyss, this dragon's nest is only a small part of it.

"Listen, I understand what you mean, I didn't hurt your thoughts, I just wanted you to talk to me, that's all."

"But my friends are waiting for me up there, and it's not good for them to be in a hurry."

"I just want you to talk to me and not delay you too much."

"I'm actually doing enlightenment work outside, and it's just to talk to me to give me a little benefit."

"I only have this and this, you can pick one yourself."

Jiang Shaowen looked at the long black thorns and palm-sized scales in front of him and fell into deep thought, just now he suddenly thought that if he walked forward and backwards, wouldn't he be able to fly up if he walked down?

The fact is true, Jiang Shaowen flew, flew very well and climbed fifteen or sixteen meters before stopping, and then the facts were in front of him, Jiang Shaowen was afraid of heights When he realized that he was in the air at fifteen or sixteen meters, Jiang Shaowen panicked and desperately wanted to go down, and then with the magic of the retrograde road corridor Jiang Shaowen successfully climbed to a new height of thirty-five meters again.

Relying on a powerful heart control technique, Jiang Shaowen calmed down.

After landing slowly and safely, Jiang Shaowen's courage came back again, and he had an idea, what would happen if he went up? Underground?

So he experimented, and so he came here, and his teammates marveled at the magic of creation in the library, and here he looked at the black dragon like a hill, and his heart was selling.

After a short period of getting along, Jiang Shaowen has figured out the details of this black dragon, this black dragon's mind is not very mature, in line with the principle of thieves not going empty, Jiang Shaowen decided to leave with some good things, after all, whether in Chinese or Western culture, the existence of the dragon symbolizes the gathering of treasures.

Otherwise, there would be no Western dragon treasure and China's sea dragon golden hoop stick.

After reading the introduction of the two items, Jiang Shaowen decisively chose dragon scales, not because Jiang Shaowen already had porcupine thorns, no matter how far they were compared to porcupine thorns, but because the introduction of dragon scales was written on the scales of adult black dragons, and the prefix of black dragon thorns was young, young black dragon thorns.

"Now that you've chosen, let's talk." Seeing that Jiang Shaowen chose dragon scales, the black dragon breathed a long sigh of relief, although this breath made Jiang Shaowen untenable.

"Okay, so what are you talking about?" Jiang Shaowen didn't leave either, he was now more interested in the young black dragon.

This question stunned the black dragon question, and it muttered, "yes, what are you talking about?" ”

The black dragon has been here since birth, it knows that it is lonely, and it craves communication, but never thinks of communicating anything.

This time, it was Jiang Shaowen's turn to find a topic: "Then talk about your life experience, where were you born?" Why here? ”

"Oh, I know that, the black ball told me." The black dragon said: "My name is Nidhogg, I was born here, I have only communicated with a ball covered in black fog before this, and it is not actually a communication, but he said that I listened ......"

"Stop, stop." Jiang Shaowen hurriedly stopped this chattering black dragon.

In the few seconds just now, there was a lot of information, whether it was the ball covered in black fog or the name Nidhogg.

"Is the ball covered in black mist you just said with iron chains wrapped all over its body?" Jiang Shaowen said, describing the carving on the left side of the gate.

"Yes, you've seen him too?" The black dragon was obviously a little happy, because he had finally found a topic that both of them knew.

"I've only seen his portrait, not his own ball."

"I don't know what the portrait you are talking about, but it's hard to see him." Nidhogg said.

"Who told you your name Niederhogg?" This is what Jiang Shaowen questioned, you must know that the name Nidhogg comes from Norse mythology, and its original meaning is despair, and the black dragon that lives under the World Tree is called Nidhogg.

Although Jiang Shaowen guessed that it might be what the black ball told him, Jiang Shaowen expected a different answer.

"I don't know, I know my name is Nidhogg, I don't know why I'm called Nidhogg, but I know my name is Nidhogg." Nidhogg explained awkwardly.

Although it is a bit confusing, anyone who has been bombarded with spoken Chinese can understand it, and Jiang Shaowen is no exception: "You mean that you were born knowing that your name was Nidhogg, but no one told you that it was?" ”

"Yes, no one has told me, because you know that I have only seen the ball covered in black fog and you, you haven't told me anything, and the ball covered in black fog hasn't told me anything, so I don't know ......"

Seeing that the chatter dragon fell into stand-alone mode again, Jiang Shaowen did not stop him, he still needed to sort out some of his knowledge so that he could have a good chat with this desperate talker.

After waiting for a long time, the chatter dragon finally realized that he had been talking and had not given Jiang Shaowen much of a chance to speak.

"Excuse me, do you have anything to say?"

"What else did the Black Ball tell you?"

"He said that he told me some things outside, such as there is a guy named Odin, who is the king of the gods, and there is a guy named Zeus, who is also the king of the gods, and there is another guy named Haotian God, who is also the king of the gods, and by the way, there is another guy named Ra, who is also the king of the gods." Nidhogg counted them on his fingers.

Yes, I originally wanted a clear worldview, but it turned out to be more and more confusing, and just now it involved Norse mythology, Greco-Roman mythology, Chinese mythology and Indian mythology, a whole four mythological systems.

Jiang Shaowen is no longer able to complain, it stands to reason that what the black ball told Nidhogg should not be: gnaw your tree well, don't think so much, the future Ragnarok depends on you.

Having said that, it doesn't seem to involve Hindu mythology, no, Hindu mythology shouldn't be less popular than Egyptian mythology.

"Is there a king of the gods called Burning Heaven?" Jiang Shaowen said cheaply.

"Hey, how do you know, there really is a king of gods named Burning Sky, but he is a little special, that is, he always sleeps."

Nonsense, Jiang Shaowen said secretly, if he wakes up, we will really be wasted.

Brahma is commonly known as the four-faced Buddha, and Vishnu, Shiva and called the three main gods, in Hindu mythology the whole world is a dream of Brahma, when the dream wakes up is the destruction of the world!

"But they are really chaotic, how can it be that several gods are kings of the gods, and besides, the other gods don't resist? I don't think it's good to be restrained, even though I'm being restrained now......"
