Chapter 30: Dragons
"Do you want to go back to Lokan?"
This question made Mu Yan fall into deep thought.
Two questions swirled through his mind.
What should I do when I stay in Heru?
Should I go back?
In fact, he has answers to both questions, but now it is not up to him to have the final say.
As Shamu said in his letter, he had an unknown mission, or an unclear one.
But this mission has no strategy, no instructions, not even a little hint, all the information is hidden in the shadows, elusive. And all the knowledge he had accumulated before was almost useless, and even his "knowledge of myths and legends", which he was proud of as a legend scholar, was shattered by reality.
All he learned was a lie, and he had no idea what the real world was like.
As a result, he couldn't make a choice, he didn't know if his choice was right, he didn't even dare to think long-term, he only dared to think about the current goal.
Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason why he suddenly changed from a pre-game coordinator who "watched the chessboard before falling" to a player who played on the spot.
He can only follow his feelings.
So should I go back? He asked himself.
……
Glazer didn't expect that one of his questions would make Mu Yan fall into deep thought, and he was a little surprised for a while.
After a long time, Mu Yan raised his head.
"Mr. Green, what if I answered 'yes'?"
"Then I might be able to help you." The old man explained, "Since your teacher and you are both necromancers, you must be familiar with the name 'scavenger'."
Mu Yan nodded, not only that, but he also knew that the giant beast was called Nioudra, and it lived at the end of the River Styx, Niverheim, but strangely enough, the Heru people rarely mentioned it.
"I've been in the port of Geol for more than a hundred years, not counting the 400 years of the Misty Calendar, and I've had a fishing season, and I've heard a lot of legends about this beast of the deep, and there's a lot more interesting about it......" the old man said with a smile.
……
Neudra is a beast of the deep sea, this is the consensus of all Herus.
In the beginning, they believed that the behemoth was the pet of the goddess Hela and the guardian of this world, lurking in the depths of Nilverheim and occasionally returning to the River Styx to patrol the River.
No one knows exactly what it looks like, but some say it's a big fish with wings, a streamlined body, and wings on either side of its body, which kick off gusts of wind when it crosses the surface of the sea. Others say it was a bird creature covered in gray bones, which folded its wings and swam forward as a shuttle, like a puffin in the port of Gioor.
But these are just speculations after all, and no one dares to pack tickets.
Later, as time went on, the Heru people were surprised to discover that this TM was not a guardian at all, but a veritable devourer of all things!
The cause of the incident was the beginning of the fishing activity, and it is impossible to trace the time, but it was a long time ago, when the Chaosmen of the port of Geoore coveted the souls of the River Styx, so they erected a barrage made of pure gold.
At that time, they did not know moderation and tried to keep the Styx at that height forever, creating a beautiful situation where "every day is fishing season".
As a result, the barrage was raised, and the water flowing to Nilverheim plummeted, in other words, the souls that went down to the sea also plummeted, and the Hipsters drove their boats to the Styx, where the water level was soaring, to salvage their souls and enjoy the joy of the harvest.
A month later, however, disaster struck.
Niudra rose from the sea, her wings covering the sky and roaring across the land.
For the first time, the Heru saw the beast clearly.
It was a dragon, with a broken body and holes in its wings.
He sprang out of the murky waters of Nilfheim, his wings skimming across the surface of the sea, setting off a huge wave of soul, mixed with the breath of a dead soul.
He slammed headlong into the barrage, and the pure-built barrage shattered, and the long-accumulated River Styx poured for thousands of miles, and the turbulent water was like a foul-smelling anaconda in the hurricane set off by Nioudra, opening its huge mouth to mercilessly devour the Chaochao people who were immersed in the joy of the harvest.
On that occasion, all the ships on the River Styx sank, and no one on board survived, and the Heru people were like sugar men thrown into boiling oil, and there was not even a shadow left.
The catastrophe lasted seven days, during which time Nioudra folded his wings and entrenched himself on the tallest building in the port of Geoor, watching with amber eyes as the fleeing Michao were devoured, and any Michao who dared to attack him was devoured.
It wasn't until the water level of the River Styx returned to normal and the port of Geoor was razed to the ground that he flew back into the distance and sank below sea level.
After the catastrophe, the Michao people did not fish for a long time, and it was not until generations slowly forgot the horrors of Nioudra and the wounds were healed by time that they had new ideas.
They felt that the reason for the disturbance of the beast was that the fishing season had lasted so long that the water flowing into Nilfheim had plummeted, so they repaired the barrage.
But the amount of gold that was at the beginning could not be scraped together, so it had to be replaced by crystal. At the same time, a rule was handed down that the fishing season was only allowed to take place once every hundred years, and that the Michao themselves would only send one boat, and anyone who did not follow this rule would be thrown into the sea and sacrificed to Niudra.
Fortunately, they have been safe since then, and the activity has been carried down to this day.
……
"Either because of the underdeveloped level of culture, or because the Heru people do not want to recall this past, so they rarely write about the catastrophe, and I also heard Hablon talk about it by chance." The old man suddenly changed his words, "After listening to Nioudra's story, do you have the "Twilight Chronicles" that you are watching now Chapter 30 The dragon is only a small half chapter, if you want to see the full version, please search Baidu: (Ice + Thunder + Chinese + Text) After entering, search again: Twilight Chronicles
