Chapter 149: Curvilinear Space-Time and Angular Time-Space
Fenrir, the giant wolf of Norse mythology, the inhabitant of the swamp, the monster that shakes the earth, the eldest son of the evil god Loki and the giantess Angelboda, and the eldest brother of the earthly python Jörmungandr and the god of death Hela, once bit Odin to death in the twilight of the gods.
Of course, many of the above amazing deeds are not entirely true, such as the legendary evil god Loki is just a legendary wizard, and his cross-racial forbidden love affair with the giantess Angelpoda is opposed by both giants and wizards, so he becomes an evil force in children's bedtime books, and their children also become 'monsters'.
Zheng Qing was not familiar with the name Fenrir.
But he had heard of Fenrir's brother, the earthly python Jermengadr, because the 'quasi-Augustus' Seprano of the Alpha Academy loved the Ouroboros and adopted them as the symbol of his society and hunting party. Zheng Qing checked the relevant information and knew that Ouroboros had a bit of a shadowy relationship with Yermungade.
That's all.
As for Fenrir, he only knew that it was a wolf born from Norse mythology, more powerful than the moon-eating tengu. And for some reason, he always felt that Fenrir had a beautiful silver-white fur.
"Fenrir. Zheng Qing frowned, thinking about the word: "I remember that it is a monster in Norse mythology...... That means that puppy has something to do with Atlas Academy?"
Anything that involves religion or mythology, and you can't go wrong with Atlas.
Before Xiao Xiao could speak, Banner opened his mouth to deny the idea of the young public-funded student.
"Not really. The fat man's face was a little serious—Zheng Qing had only seen this expression when he was discussing news investigations or dispensing potions—he had already finished reading the text of the test report, and like Zheng Qing, he also turned to the back of the letter and looked at it, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he continued:
"The most important thing in the doctor's explanation is not the name 'Fenrir', but 'Mhisha'. Fenrir was just the pseudonym that Mhisha used when he came to this world. ”
"So, what's so special about this Mthisha?" Zheng Qing said a little anxiously.
"Muhisha loves to go against other gods, especially powerful ones. Fat Xin made a gesture to make Zheng Qing feel at ease, and his voice seemed meaningful: "...... Therefore, wherever other outer gods descend, they will attract the gaze of Mshisha. If the Adventist intrigues Him, He will also send His own dogs to hunt him. ”
"Dogs?"
"Tindarus Hound. Speaking of this, the fat man stopped, his eyes drifted to Xiao Xiao, and he said, "...... The Doctor must know more about this creature than I do. ”
Xiao Xiao was not annoyed by the fat man's previous words. In fact, when the fat man explained to Zheng Qing, he had been carefully reading the test report issued by the Montella laboratory.
"Although called 'hounds', the Tyndalus Hounds have no copper relationship with what we know as 'canines'. They are even different from most magical creatures. Xiao Xiao was concentrating on two things, while continuing to read the report, and explained to Zheng Qing:
"Do you remember those 'Sand Time Worms' that you caught in school last semester? The Tyndalus Hound is similar to those Sand Time Bugs, both of which are dimensional creatures. It's just that the Sand Time Worm lives in the curvilinear dimension with us, while the Tyndallus Hound lives in the horn dimension. Do you know the plane?"
Zheng Qing shook his head blankly.
Xiao Xiao took his eyes off the report, pondered for a moment, and gave Zheng Qing an example:
"Suppose a clean space-time is a taut cloth, and when a planet appears in this space-time, it is equivalent to throwing a glass ball into the taut cloth. ”
The glass ball pressed the cloth into a small curvature...... Understandable. ”
Zheng Qing's chick pecked at the rice and nodded.
“...... This kind of arc of time and space is the world we live in. Time and space are bent under the action of the mass of the planet, which gives birth to different phenomena such as gravity and interaction forces. In other words, the world in which human beings live is such a 'curvilinear space-time world'. ”
"The Tyndalus Hound, on the other hand, lives in a horn-like space-time. Just like the circumcision method, a square is cut infinitely, although it looks like a circle, but in fact, in a finer angle of view, there are always angles, and in the gap of curved space-time, there are countless space-time with 'angles'. The Tyndallus Hound lives in those crevices. ”
The metaphor sounds a bit abstract.
It is difficult for Zheng Qing to imagine what the angle of space and time looks like.
“...... Because of those angular spaces, if the Tyndaros Hound wants to appear in our world, it can only choose a place where there is an 'angle'. In a house, for example, the angle of the walls is basically 90 degrees, and when the Tyndalus Hound appears, they will emit smoke from the corner of the room, and then their heads, paws, body, and then tail will emerge from the smoke......"
"But the dog appears or disappears, and it doesn't seem to follow this pattern very well. Zheng Qing recalled the scene where the puppy appeared, and his tone was a little confused.
"Because it is not a descendant of the Tyndalus Hound, its bloodline is related to Mhisha. Xiao Xiao continued to look at the report, and at the same time said calmly:
"Mhisha, also known as the 'Overlord of Tyndaros'...... He is the lord of the Tindarus Hounds, powerful and transcendent of time and space, and lives in the city of Tyndalus, a city of spiraling towers that stands in the deepest part of the Angular Time dimension, and who has always wanted that city to come to our world. It is said that as long as he has all the power of time and space, he can break through the barriers between curvilinear space-time and angular space-time...... That's why Mhisha constantly challenges Yog Sototh, hoping to reclaim the space-time powers of Yogurt. ”
Without those awkward terms, this kind of story Zheng Qing sounds a lot more interesting.
"Far from it. Xiao Xiao finally finished reading the report, and shook it out of thin air, as if he hoped to shake something from above, and finally returned it to the young public-funded student in disappointment:
"Because of the difference in dimensions, the Tindarus Hound can travel through the constraints of time and space in our world...... And they will chase after creatures that have come into contact with them, and will do whatever it takes. ”
"That dog didn't seem to mean to kill me. Zheng Qing defended weakly.
"I'm just telling you why it can always find you, chase you, and come and go freely and it's hard to capture. If there was the blood of Mhisha—chasing the breath it wanted to chase, and briefly traveling through time and space—it would not have any difficulty in doing so. ”
