Chapter 395: The New King of the World
"Niold......" Caesar, who had been keeping his head down, looked up.
Niold, the god of the sea and storms in Norse mythology, but unlike the Aesir gods who inhabited Asgard, he was a god from Warnerheim and known as the Warner gods. And among the Warner gods, besides him, the most well-known is the goddess with powerful magic: Gulveig. And it is because of this goddess that the Aesir and Warner gods have started a protracted war.
Legend has it that when Niold, in his anger, could set off storms and tsunamis that destroyed countless ships and villages built along the sea. And when he is happy, the changeable sea will become extremely calm, and people who depend on the sea can easily get more from the quiet sea than usual.
According to the cult, Niord may be one of the many names of a dragon king, or the mysterious king of the sky and wind, or the king of the sea and water in front of him. After witnessing the miraculous spirit of dragons, ancient humans naturally worshipped them and gave them many names, which formed a number of names that are familiar to modern humans, and Niold was just one of them.
However, when it was determined that the name of the other king of the sea and water was Leviathan from the Apocrypha of Enoch, it seemed a bit inappropriate to call the dead dragon king in front of him Niold. Instead, her name should be ......
"Behemoth, you should want to say this, don't you?" Frost seemed to see through what was going on in his heart.
As if reciting, he said, "On that day two beasts will be separated, the mother beast is called Leviathan, and she dwells in the depths of the sea, in the waters; The name of the male was Behemoth, and he lived in a wilderness east of the Garden of Yindian, and the name of the wilderness was Dendayan, which was not visible to men. ”
Frost suddenly asked, "But these are so old that they are almost impossible to verify, and the news of the anomalous lake will also be inaccurate, right?" ”
"The world of dragons as we know them is just the tip of the iceberg, and it would be a mistake to call them by names made up by humans." Frost turned around and walked forward, leading Caesar towards the dragonlord's corpse.
Looking at the corpse of the dragon king up close, Caesar's eyes were extremely hollow, like a puppet with a string of threads. He subconsciously touched the hair that hung down to his ears, and the bright strands of hair flashed brightly even in this palace covered in mist. And this is what he inherited from his mother, and his mother ......
Frost stood in front of the dragonlord's corpse as if in worship, and he stretched out his hand as if he were on a pilgrimage, as if trying to caress the beautiful golden hair that had been so beautiful for some time, and then withdrew it as if he had been electrocuted.
Caesar looked at him with some numb eyes, because he couldn't see his eyes clearly because his back was on. Although he said that he didn't want to know anything about them, Frost's behavior just now still made him feel a little strange.
Frost paused inexplicably, and then said in a somewhat tired tone: "With the human body, to adapt to the power contained in this dragon body, and to control the power that only belongs to the gods, this is the Niold plan." For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the recipient is not repelled by the dragon body. ”
"And you, Caesar, are such beings." Frost looked at Caesar and said, "It's familiar, the Nibelungen plan that Ange and Flamel came up with is just a simplified version of the foundation, but their purpose is to break through the critical blood limit and strengthen the bloodline." And what we have to do is to draw out the real power in the dragon bone, inherit the power of the dragon king, and become a new, even above the dragon king! ”
"Just complete this first step! Once on the throne, you can hunt other dragon kings! In the somewhat empty royal court, Frost's extremely fanatical voice echoed, "The power of the king, coupled with the secret weapon of the Gattuso family, you will be invincible!" The throne of the new world is yours, to the god born of man, Niord! ”
Legend has it that after Odin's death in Ragnarok, in the newly born world, Niord will ascend to the throne of the nine worlds and become the king of all living gods and men. Perhaps hunting the dragon king and sending Caesar to the throne is only one of the purposes of the Gattuso family, and more importantly, they want to become the gods of the new world and dominate everything in the new world.
Looking at Frost, who had fallen into an inexplicable frenzy again, Caesar, who lowered his head, said in a dry voice with no emotion: "But what does this have to do with Chen Motong?" For her sake, you even went so far as to declare war on the Academy, turning all of Italy into a battlefield. ”
"Why do you feel like it's not about her?" Frost replied, "She is a necessary being, her life is not hers, she is a sacrifice prepared by the family for the birth of the king at great cost, and she should have done to sacrifice for you!" ”
Tell all the truths together, and Frost doesn't need to disguise it anymore.
"And what about Patsy? Is he the same, who should have died for me like this? Caesar asked suddenly, and Frost was stunned for a moment.
Then both he and Frost fell silent.
……
"As for the question of the heir of the Gattuso family, I think you should have heard about it, right?" Pompey said.
"If you mean blood, I've probably heard of it." Nodded his head, "Caesar's bloodline is indeed excellent, and it is the best wave of all the students I have ever seen, but ......"
"But although it is excellent, it is not the top, far less than the successor you found." Pompey replied on his behalf, showing no mercy to his son, "My son is indeed very good, which is beyond doubt of the mother, but it is still a bit too far-fetched to want to be the master of the thousand-year-old half-blood family." ”
"As far as I know, there seems to be a young man among you named Parcy Gattuso." Ange put down his cup, poured Pompeii a cup of hot tea, and motioned for him to continue.
Pompeii picked up the cup and shook it habitually: "Among the younger generation of the family, there are not many young people with superior bloodlines and stronger speech and spirit than him. But no matter how good their bloodline is and how powerful their words are, in front of Caesar, they can still only be regarded as high-level servants. ”
After a pause, he added, "But Patsy is a special case, his pedigree is excellent, far better than anyone else, so good that it is almost out of control...... But even so, he is a high-ranking servant. ”
"Your family's definition of a servant is extravagant." Ange paused, "I'm a little curious if my old friend Frost used to be like that. “
"It's a shame I didn't let you see the way your hated Frost grovels before me." Pompeii smiled at him, then he sighed, "...... But these are all things of the past, and now I have long been excluded from the inner circle of the family, and even the title of the head of the family before I was only worn by Caesar before he grew up. ”
Ange gave him a deep look, he took out a cigar, then thought of something, looked around, and put it back away.
Then he asked: "I'm a little curious, Chinese people often say that mothers are more precious than sons, and this should also apply to fathers." Why are you, the head of the family, being excluded like this in the family? ”
Still playing with the cup, Pompey said nonchalantly, "The Presbyterians hate me, and I didn't ask for another child as they requested, which offended them." ”
Ange raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that Caesar is the long-awaited heir of the Gattuso family?" Why another child? ”
Whether it is a dynastic family in the secular world or a half-blood family in the dark world, there is no doubt that they dare not be sloppy in the selection of heirs. And countless incidents of fratricidal fratricide have taught everyone that having too many heirs is sometimes not a good thing. In a way, Pompeii and Frost are a good example.
Pompey was silent for a while, and then said, "For only one is not enough, there must be someone who will be Caesar's stepping stone." ”
"In other words, it became one of the keys to his evolutionary path." Pompey smiled helplessly, "My old fellow, I don't need to explain the word evolution, right?" The stuff you and Flamel are on the line, too. ”
Ange nodded silently, and then he asked, "So you want to imitate the existence of the Dragon King, and let one of the twins devour the other twins to become a real dragon?" ”
"Honestly......" Pompeii scratched his head, then smiled, "Actually, I don't know, if I did, I would probably have to shrink in the Pantheon now, and I wouldn't have time to come here and talk to you." ”
Ange let out a long sigh: "So what? You fell out with your family because of the problem of having children? ”
Pompey paused for a moment, and then stopped, the lonely look just now came back to him, and the loneliness was a little terrifying.
Then he said in a low voice, "Whoever is happy about the birth of offspring, and I am no exception, so that while my new father was howling and hurting each other with the weeping Caesar, his mother was preparing birthday presents for him, from the time he was one year old, until he was twenty years old...... She never thought she would see the child grow up. ”
Pompey smiled, but looked a little bleak: "It seems to be congenital, her health began to deteriorate after giving birth to Caesar." Obviously a powerful half-breed, but her physical condition is worse than that of ordinary old people. At this time, if she gives birth again, I think it will kill her directly. ”
Ange, who listened carefully, asked, "So you rebelled against the orders of the family and became a puppet with no family master." ”
"Yes," Pompey replied silently...... "and in hindsight I found that she was not living a Puritan life, but a prisoner's life, for she had nowhere else to go; She sat quietly because no one dared to talk to her; She likes to read because there is a world in them that she wants to know, but can't see with her own eyes......"
Pompeii rubbed his hair vigorously, and his feelings of remorse were beyond words: "I have thought about taking her away, just the two of us, leaving the family that is a cage for her, and going to live our own lives, anyway, the family just wants Caesar, and they probably don't care about our life and death...... Or the best of the dead. ”
"But she refused, and then I knew that Caesar was the whole world to her, and that Caesar would not be lonely in the future, and that she would have a younger brother or sister to accompany her, and that she would have another child even if she didn't want to die." Pompey continued, "Then I left alone, rarely bothering them, and went on living like the prodigal son I had before. After more than ten years, the news of her death came from the family. ”
He smiled suddenly, and the smile was very ugly: "I heard that Caesar also made a big fuss at her funeral, almost burned the entire Milan Cathedral, and slapped the old people of the family in the face. When I heard the news, I held him up and said that it was my son, and that he had done a good job...... Then he kicked me in the face. ”
"And before that, Caesar had an extra Patsy's child as a playmate, and no one knew how he came to be, except my brother, who became the surrogate head of the house, and the elders who lived forever in the Pantheon."
Ange, who had been silent, put away his glass: "Thank you very much for your explanation, although I still have a lot of details to ask you, but after that, you better deal with the people outside first." ”
Ange had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door of the room they were in. The door opened, and a heroic female officer stood in front of the door: "I'm sorry gentlemen, for interrupting your conversation, but I think you have to have someone to come out and take a look, we are not far from our destination." ”
She looked to be past middle age, but her face was still beautiful with a cold expression. She hesitated for a moment, and her cold face eased a little, and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on purpose, you must also know that half-breeds have too good hearing, and sometimes it can be regarded as a trouble." ”
Ange silently glanced at Pompeii next to him, meaning to let him solve it himself. Pompey wiped it with his hand, and his originally messy hair instantly turned into a big shiny back. He reopened a glass of wine and poured it, and walked over with a very coquettish glass.
He put his arm around the female officer's waist and leaned close to her ear and said, "You know, remembering the past is to better grasp the present, how can I blame you, I am grateful that you are willing to agree to accompany me here, my darling." ”
"These words will be said later, come with me now, and we will save your real treasure." The female officer pushed Pompeii away a little helplessly, and it could be seen that she couldn't let go when someone was there.
Pompeii squeezed his eyes at the expressionless Ange and walked away with that coquettish step.
As the door closed, Ange looked into the empty room and asked, "What do you think of what he said?" ”
