Chapter 43: The Legend of the Rainbow Bridge
"Be careful, then. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zou Qiao people admonished, and suddenly increased the frequency of agitation of wings, rushing down from the cliff of the forest sea, leaving an extremely faint afterimage in the air.
"Why does it feel so familiar?" Siga asked himself in confusion, also crossing another graceful arc.
The closer he got to Lacog Falls, the deeper the mist became, and Zou couldn't help but slow down, and Siga followed him as well.
"In front of Lacog Falls, there is actually a rainbow bridge, the rainbow bridge is a little far from the waterfall, and it is safe, so don't worry too much, we can go there and watch first, if there is no clue there, then we can only venture close to the waterfall. Zou Qiao is humane.
"Rainbow Bridge, what's that?" Siga pointed ahead, and the outline of a brilliantly colored bridge as flat as a wide road gradually became clear.
The Rainbow Bridge, which means "Wobbly Heavenly Road" in Old Norse language, is a huge bridge connecting Asgard and Midgard in Norse mythology.
Of course, in the human world, most of the descriptions of the Rainbow Bridge appear in "Essay Edda", and many anthropologists believe that this is the author of "Essay Edda", Slorry Sturasson, who reinterpreted the Milky Way into a rainbow, so the Rainbow Bridge should have been the Milky Way, Bifrost.
The Rainbow Bridge was built here, in the Xeno-Dimensional Water Palace in this neutral zone, one end of which happened to be the waters of the Elven Domain, and the other end was the green waters of the five major regions where the goblins were entrenched, which probably had ingenious intentions.
The Rainbow Bridge was rebuilt after the fall of the elf clan, the original Rainbow Bridge was destroyed in the destruction campaign of the Elven Domain, and the area of the fallen elves was very small, mainly the current "Green Water", and the terrifying destruction campaign also started from that area.
Therefore, according to the intention of the builders, the territory on the other side of the water, where the elves are located, is the Asgard, which symbolizes the connection of the rainbow bridge in Norse mythology, and his intention is to exalt the elves and praise them as gods.
And on the other side of the green waters, the original very small entrenchment of the goblins is a symbol of the so-called Midgard in Norse mythology.
Midgard, surrounded by the ocean, the bottomless deep sea of the world composed of water, is very similar to the geography of the green waters, and the "twilight of the gods" that happened in Middle-earth probably refers to the destruction battle of the elven domain at the end of ancient times, but according to Norse mythology, after the great catastrophe of the "twilight of the gods", Middle-earth finally recovered.
Is it possible for the builder to be able to predict the future, since he can refer to the location of the elves as "Midgard", he must also know the final revival of Middle-earth, but at that time, it was just the end of the destruction campaign, how did he know what happened in the future, is it just luck, the Norse mythology borrowed from it just coincided with the development history of the elven realm after that?
This is still a mystery among the elves, and countless elven scholars have tried in vain to find out the truth of this problem, but unfortunately, until now, they have not even figured out who the rebuilder of the rainbow bridge is, let alone the builder.
Dozens of years ago, the goblins miraculously rose again, and a small number of elven scholars suddenly found that several aspects of the history of the elven domain miraculously coincided with the ancient Norse mythology, so they gathered at this rainbow bridge, at that time the rainbow bridge was very lively, and now, those scholars with the best wisdom are afraid that they are turning over the information at home, and they are unwilling to study on the spot, and the rainbow bridge has become cold again.
The Rainbow Bridge has such a special significance, Zou Qiao and Si Jia obviously don't know, the former is because he was not born at that time, and after the birth, the heat of the Rainbow Bridge has passed, and only some scholars from the Elf History Society who are bored to study the door know that those elf scholars will be full and have nothing to do, so he obviously doesn't know.
As for Sijia, he just came to this elven realm, and he can't figure out some of the basics, let alone talk about these secret secrets......
"Well, the Rainbow Bridge, when I was looking through the previous books, I occasionally saw a little introduction to it, it is said that the three-color rainbow bridge composed of ice, fire, and air in Norse mythology," Zou Qiao said, holding his chin, thought, "but it doesn't look like it, it looks like a colorful color." ”
"Norse mythology?!" Siga chuckled.
Although he had long known that the elven domain and the human world were in the same vein, this Norse mythology was actually circulating in this elven domain, and he was still a lot surprised.
"Norse mythology, the elven domain has been a myth and legend since ancient times, and there are not a few elven scholars who study it. Zou Qiao seemed to be accustomed to Si Jia's historical foundation and common sense of the elven domain and was always surprised, knowing that he probably didn't understand, he immediately explained.
I'll go, the source of this Norse mythology is actually from the elven domain, before ancient times, isn't it that humans and elves are still coexisting, no wonder, no wonder. Si Jia sighed in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that what the group of anthropologists had spent more than a dozen generations studying actually came from the Elven Realm, the world they originally lived in.
Perhaps all the myths, whether solved or unsolved, come from this place.
"I see," Si Jia sighed with emotion, but he felt that he was acting too gaffe, so he cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Boss, you are quite right, I also feel like Colorful." ”
"But it's really made of air," Zou said, "to condense air through condensation magic, it's just that such a big bridge, and such an ancient history, must have applied the spell of standing still and the barrier on the surface of the bridge, otherwise the air would have escaped again in the long years." ”
"There is a time limit for the implementation of magic, I can probably think of that," Siga frowned, making rare use of his long-abandoned analytical ability, "but with such a large bridge, the condensation magic alone costs a lot of money, plus the magic power of static time and the surface barrier that sound more mysterious, who has such a great ability?"
He was fortunate enough to know that the ability to stand still was already like a legend, so he chose to keep it secret when he saved him at the bottom of the abyss of the dango last time and killed Medusa, after all, that guy from the dango will also stand still in time, what a sensation it must cause to say it!
"Yes, it's a mystery!" Zou shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"To be able to carry this bridge for such a long time without disappearing, and to be so stable, this kind of ability, I'm afraid it's all over the sky. Siga muttered.
"Originally, I guessed that it was the king, but then I thought about it, there are very few records of the king of heaven and earth in the history of the elf race, and many records are just his exploits and deeds, so there is no evidence to support it, and many elves probably have similar thoughts. Zou Yuren frowned and thought for a while, and finally spoke slowly, obviously he also had a lot of curiosity about this question.
That king, according to legend, in the ancient battle, led various races to form an alliance with the elves against the elves, the elven king? Sijia frowned, for this king, he did not have the fanatical worship and respect of the elves, probably he didn't understand, so he didn't catch a cold.
"Maybe. Siga was noncommittal, and the frequency of his wings flapped again.
They were already close to the Rainbow Bridge, and it was time for them to get ready to land.
Landing...... Thinking of this, Si Jia's heart swelled with a sense of depression, his own landing technique, alas, shook his head in his heart, and finally retracted his wings.
"Ouch. ”
Sure enough, because the surface of the rainbow bridge was as smooth as a mirror, Si Jia was only slightly staggering, but because of that, as soon as his feet slipped, he fell directly to the rainbow bridge, and his chin hit the hard rainbow bridge deck like tempered glass, and Si Jia cried out in pain.
"It's okay. For Sijia's landing technique, Zou Qiaoren also had a helpless attitude, and after landing steadily, he stretched out his hand to Sijia who fell.
"Thanks, Boss. Si Jia stretched out his hand and put it on his hand, and Zou Qiren pulled hard, and he stood up again, but his other hand touched his sore buttocks.
"This color looks like a rainbow, but if you look closely, it really looks like it is made of ice and fire, mainly red, yellow and blue. Si Jia looked intently at the rainbow bridge that embarrassed him, and said loudly.
"It's the first time I've seen a real thing, and it's the same as you said. Zou Qiao nodded.
"Let's split up, if there's nothing wrong with this bridge, we'll go to the place near Lacog Falls," Zou said, gesturing to the right side towards the Elven Waters, "I'll go there, you go the other way." ”
"Good. Si Jia answered, that is, he raised his steps and went to the left, and when Zou Qiao saw this, he also went to the right, and the two acted separately.
"What could be wrong?" From such a distance, he could sense that something was wrong, but when he went to the place, he didn't see anything strange, and Si Jia also had a little doubt in his heart that there was something wrong with Zou Yuren's judgment.
Looking at the miraculous "Thor's Water" not far away, Si Jia felt that the impetuous and boring emotions in his heart were swept away, and all that was left was those leisurely pleasures.
In that relaxed state of mind, Si Jia couldn't help humming a song:
Watch you slowly leave
Fate is like a tidal wave
I can't breathe when I'm drowning
Floating in the black sea
How to get used to losing your future
......
Destined to have a future without you
Don't forget the blank space that is fading away
Don't say anything, I don't want to understand
At least I still have a beautiful future
......
This song is what he has always liked, and when Chinese mainland set off the "Fairy Sword One" craze in those years, he also mixed it in, and learned this song by the way.
At that time, he thought that it would be nice if he could have some strange fate, but he didn't expect it to happen a few years later.
Just humming a song, hugging the back of his head, and as his eyes scanned the surrounding scenery, a figure flashed under his sea-blue gaze, and his body stiffened suddenly.
