Chapter Eighty-Five: Twilight of the Gods
"What does it mean that the world is coming to an end?" The boy's words caught Lu Mingfei's attention, he knew that there were some mythical creatures in this world that threatened him, and even places like the Land of Fog had escaped. But the end of the world, he really didn't want to go through it a second time.
"Literally." The boy walked to the desk and took out the Eda Sutra that Lu Mingfei had borrowed earlier and opened it.
When the book was opened, it was not the text that Lu Mingfei had read before, but a picture projected like a three-dimensional image. This picture Lu Mingfei had ever seen, it was the Niederhogg painting that Guderian showed them on the train.
But in the next second, the picture moved. Nidhogg, who had never been able to survive before, was lying on an iceberg, his wings hanging down to the bottom of the mountain. Something as hot as blood flowed down the iceberg, melted the ice and snow to form steam, rose into the sky, and turned red into the rain dripping down.
On the black dragon's body, a worm-sized man climbed up his wings and used an awl to cut holes of various sizes in his body. When something like white pulp turned into steam came out of the hole, people raised their hands and cheered.
Lu Mingfei was slightly shocked by the scene that looked like an American blockbuster, and he looked at the painting seriously, trying to find any clues.
The boy looked at Lu Mingfei, who was distracted, smiled sadly, and explained: "Dragon Emperor Nidhogg, who was killed and placed on the iceberg that he used as a throne. Thousands of years ago, His slewers bathed in His blood and hailed the dawn of a new era. ”
"Nidhogg was killed? What are you kidding. Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and said, "This desperate dragon that can fight against the gods will die at the hands of humans?" Was the man a magician or a demigod? ”
"No, it's not a magician or a demigod, it's just an ordinary person." "But, they have helpers. The children of Nidhogg, the first dragons known to humans as the Four Kings. ”
The first species? Lu Mingfei knew this, and he had heard from Teacher Guderian before.
As if caught in some memory, the boy said to himself, "They rebelled against their creator and together with humans slew the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons, ending the reign of the original Emperor. ”
"Then, those fools fell into civil strife, and after conquest with each other, the humans who stole the dragon's flames took advantage of the situation and seized the position of the master of the world." The boy smiled mockingly, as if mocking the kings, "They are dying and waiting to be resurrected, and they are hiding in unknown corners in an attempt to make a comeback. ”
Lu Mingfei didn't interject and let him continue.
"But that's not the end of it, the Dragon Emperor won't die, he's still watching this somewhere in the world. When He feels that the world does not need to exist, He will awaken again and end the world with His wrath. "Including the monarchs and dragons who have betrayed Him." ”
Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment and then said, "Twilight of the Gods, this is what you want to talk about, right?" ”
"That's right, brother, do you still think your magic is enough?" The boy smiled at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was silent, the dragon of despair, Nidhogg. Ragnarok is a representative figure of the giants and monsters represented by him, who ended the history of the Norse gods. This is indeed a bit disadvantageous for him, who has the rune magic of the great god Odin as the source. However, this is the history of the Chaldean side.
"What about that Odin in the Land of Mist? He survived Ragnarok? And then also waiting for Nidhogg's return? Lu Mingfei looked up and asked.
"No, it's just a despicable imitation, and he foolishly thinks he can stand up to the returning Dragon Emperor Nidhogg." The boy said, "Brother, there will be no gods in this world. The so-called gods are nothing more than human beings themselves made up to comfort themselves, and there are even some gods that are pretended by the kings who are hiding and waiting for the resurrection. And they, without exception, are all our enemies. ”
"Also, you told me this so that I could cooperate with you and take the initiative to break the protection and release the dragon bloodline, right?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head and said.
The boy nodded: "Yes, brother, your magic may be much better than the half-blood's words, but it may not be enough for the goal of reaching the dragon king level." ”
Lu Mingfei understands this, the rune may make him too much more than the average magician, and even rival some weaker heroic spirits, but he may be a little weak in the face of enemies like dragons. Unless it's using the original rune, but if it is forcibly used by a non-god body, it will have powerful side effects, and he doesn't have the powerful immortality of the Queen of the Shadow Country.
"I won't promise you, as for whether my runes can match those dragon kings, I won't know until I see them with my own eyes. And even if I can't match it, I have other means, and I don't have to worry about it now. Lu Mingfei turned away from the boy.
"Well, I knew you would say that." The boy sighed, "This academy existence may be able to open the key to that seal, brother, if you are interested, go and find it." ”
Time flowed again, and the boy disappeared again.
Lu Mingfei leaned back in the chair and had a little headache, the boy didn't lie to him, and maybe he didn't dare to lie to him. This is a seal and a blessing on my body, which can say too much, and may negate my life in the past seventeen years.
And the person who set up this protector, his intentions have to be thought about carefully. His purpose was obviously not to prevent himself from gaining power, Lu Mingfei thought that the power brought by his magic and combat skills would not be inferior or surpass the dragon bloodline, but he did not prevent himself from learning this, but only sealed things related to the dragon bloodline.
Is he preventing himself from awakening with dragon blood? Who is he? There are too many questions, and I can't go back to Chaldea to investigate, so I can't find out at all.
And that Lu Mingze, who looked very suspicious that he was in a hurry to break the protection, even if he used the spell to control it, he didn't seem to be able to convince him too much, and he gave himself the feeling that he could resist the effect of the spell.
There are too many mysteries, and the end is approaching, and I seem to have been on the bar with the end of the world. On the Chaldean side, it was to catch the ducks on the shelves, and when they came back, it was the same again.
The Dragon Emperor and the Four Great Kings? I don't know how much Kassel knows about this. There is also a bloodline that is much more powerful than other half-breeds, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the S-class parents whose whereabouts are unknown, and how much does the headmaster of Kassel know about them?
