"Please continue, Mr. Mime. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I would love to know the story of these two dragons of the Rhine! ”

Seeing that Aurora and Mi Mei fell into silence one after another, Zhou Yi, who had been watching from the wall, suddenly said this at this time.

He was not an Asgardian, nor was he a native resident. So for those contradictions between them, he didn't care at all, and he didn't care about it. At this time, he cared more about his own promise, and the information of the evil dragon. So he jumped right in and forcibly shifted the conversation to his task.

Maybe it's because of the terrifying power shown by Zhou Yi, maybe it's just that I don't want to offend Aurora, a goddess with a deep background. When Mi Mei heard Zhou Yi say this, she was not hypocritical, and directly said her research like pouring beans.

"As to the origin of Fafnier, I have investigated the literature of all the races of the Rhine Valley. Whether it's goblins, gnomes, or you Asgardians. I kept all the records down, and it was only after this that I discovered the secret of Fafnier, a very important secret! ”

"The earliest record of the appearance of the evil dragon Fafnir is about 20,000 years ago, and at this point there is a clear record in the literature of the lake nymphs and water fairies who draw their water from the Rhine."

Saying this, Mi Mei pulled out a parchment scroll with a dim yellow luster, pointed to the words on it, and recited it to Zhou Yi and them.

"When the icebergs melted and the flood swelled, in the midst of the surging waves, the form of a dragon began to appear. It is the wrath of the Rhine, the ferocity and cruelty of the Rhine. When it flies into the sky and howls. It is doomed, it will swallow up all the creatures in front of it like a terrible flood! ”

This is the song of the elves, and this ballad proves that Fafnir was born in the Flood of the Rhine. It's the god of the flood! But this ballad is only part of the Rhine legend, and there is another part of the legend. ”

"It is a document written by the dark gnomes who live on the border of Watheim, near Asgard, and what they have carved into the rock face of the valley called the Song of the Rhine."

As she spoke, Mi Mei dragged out a long rubbing, made of some kind of nitrate leather, and pointed to the square, labyrinth-like font on it.

"This is the ritual text of the Dark Gnomes, a text that is only used in major rituals. But they carved it into the strongest rock face in the valley and preserved it for tens of thousands of years. And about the above content, it is the most interesting. ”

"When the flood receded, the will of the Rhine was truly awakened. It flows through the river valley, allowing the waterwheel to roll and the furnace to rattle. It flows through culverts, allowing food to flourish and steel to cool. It walks through the forest, and the forest begins to grow. It passed through the plains, and all beasts multiplied. Above the earth, the river rushes. Under the sky, the dragon began to spread its wings. Groniel, the embodiment of the Rhine. He watches us with his wise and peaceful eyes, making the gnomes the eternal masters of Watheim! ”

"The inscription on the rock wall of this valley is carved by the fourth king of the Dark Gnomes, during the reign of Nibelon, and it looks like it is about 20,000 years ago, which is not much different from the literature of the elves in terms of time. At that time, the Dark Gnomes relied on the water of the Rhine to irrigate their crops and smelt steel, building the most prosperous splendor of the Gnome Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that Gronnier, the incarnation of the Rhine, was so solemnly recorded that he even became a god worshipped by the dwarf kingdom! ”

"Wait!" Mime said this, but was interrupted by Aurora again. This stubborn little girl has a natural spirit of not admitting defeat, so when she heard these words, she immediately spit out all the questions that came to her mind from her own point of view.

"If this incarnation of the Rhine has such a high reputation among the gnomes, why no one knows. Don't talk about us Asgardians, even you gnomes of Watheim don't know this! ”

"Of course, not everyone can read the Dark Gnome's rituals. In the whole of Wattheim, I'm afraid there are not many people who can still recognize these dark dwarf characters except me! ”

"That's not right, even if no one can recognize the words. But what about the old men? You gnomes have a lifespan of 3,000 years, and 20,000 years is just a matter of generations, how can it be so easy for a god worshiped by a king to disappear into history? ”

On this issue, Aurora rarely used a little more brain. In her opinion, this is the most obvious flaw. Even if he dies as a god, he will be remembered forever by the people who once worshipped him. Even if the text is lost, there are still old stories and songs. Those things don't just disappear casually, especially among the long-lived race of gnomes.

So she immediately grasped this flaw and wanted to see how Mi Mei could give her a reasonable answer.

Aurora thought that the question would be difficult to explain, but to her surprise, Mimei just glanced at her with a smirk and said in a weird way.

"I'm a little amused to hear you, the god of Asgard, say that!"

"Funny! What's so funny? ”

Aurora asked, puzzled. The answer she received was that she immediately flushed her face.

"Of course it's funny. This is the great work of your father. He led the Asgardian army to victory over the Dark Gnomes, robbing them of their treasures and destroying their kingdom. Let their culture and heritage disappear along the Rhine. I thought you Asgardians would brag about this kind of thing for 10,000 years, but I didn't expect that by the time your generation arrived, it would have been completely forgotten. Isn't that ridiculous! ”

It's ridiculous in name, but anyone can see that it's a naked mockery. And the object of ridicule is still directed at Odin, the father of the gods. This made Aurora immediately unbearable.

As Odin's favorite daughter, she naturally reveres her father immensely. So when she heard such words, which amounted to slander her father, she immediately drew the sword at her waist and shouted at Mime.

"How dare you insult my father and tarnish the reputation of the god-king of Asgard. I'm going to kill you and wash away this shame with your blood! ”

When the sword was unsheathed, it was suddenly a divine light. The sharp light didn't even need to be waved by Aurora to cut neat gaps in the ground. Obviously, this weapon is not the same as the pure ornamental thing that Zhou Yi imagined, but a real divine weapon. However, this unsheathed divine weapon had not seen much blood, so it was suddenly pinched by Zhou Yi, and then thrown back into the scabbard directly.

"Aurora, don't mess around! We've got business to do! Throwing off such a sentence, Zhou Yi forcibly asked Aurora to suppress the anger in his heart. Then he said this to Mimei. "I already know what you said about the two incarnations of the Rhine, but then what? What does this have to do with Fafnier's rejection by the Rhine! ”

"Of course there is a relationship, and it is a very important relationship."

As she spoke, Mi Mei avoided the other side of Zhou Yi's body, separating her from Aurora.

"That's a story from less than 10,000 years ago. 10,000 years ago, the Rhine ushered in the most overflowing moment of his life, that is, that moment. Fafnir's power rose to the point where it was the most powerful in its lifetime. It was at that time that it made up its mind. That is to wage war against its sibling Gronnier. ”

"On the one hand, it is to compete for the power of the Rhine. As the embodiment of the two sides of the Rhine, Fafnir believed that only by defeating Gronnier could it monopolize the power of the Rhine and become a more powerful deity. On the other hand, he took a fancy to Groniel's treasures. ”

"As the evil side of the Rhine, Fafnir can only be feared. And it can only possess the treasure of life to the dragon through plunder and killing. However, on the good side, Gronnier has no such problem. It supports a vast gnome kingdom. And this kingdom will also offer precious treasures as sacrifices to it. As long as it maintains the gentleness of the Rhine, it can enjoy a steady stream of wealth. And that's what Fafnier hates the most. Therefore, he chose such a moment to plunder everything from Gronnier by force. Its status, its treasures, and his power. ”

"This is how the battle of the two dragons began, and the outcome of this battle is very obvious. Gronnir, who was used to being revered by the gnomes, was no match for Fafnir, who had been doing his robber work, and it didn't take him a few days and nights. It was defeated and killed by Fafnir. Even his body was devoured by Fafnir. ”

Fafnir had killed his enemy, but things didn't go as smoothly as he thought. He did take possession of Groniel's treasure and gain his power. But he was denied the status of Gronnir, and the dark gnomes refused to worship the evil god, and more importantly, it was cursed by the Rhine itself. ”

"For the Rhine, both Fafnir and Gronnier are its children, and Fafnier, who committed fratricidal things, was naturally hated by the Rhine. Because it killed his brother during the Rhine's flood season, at this time of year, he would be forced to leave the riverbed's lair because of the Rhine's wrath and wait for it in its secret lair in the Black Forest. Wait for the wrath of the Rhine to fade! ”

"And now, it's flood season in the Rhine. It is also when it has difficulty approaching the river. ”

With that, the dwarf's eyes flashed a little crazy. He could see that he seemed to have sensed that what he had dreamed of was right in front of him.

At this time, Zhou Yi, who had listened to the whole story, smiled slightly.

"So, dwarf. I think you should know where the dragon's lair is in the Black Forest! ”

This sentence was equivalent to a transaction, and Mimei, who understood the meaning, immediately nodded vigorously.

"Of course! I know very well, Your Excellency. I'm willing to show you the way! (To be continued.) )
