015 First Vision
Professor Guderian said this with a hint of anger, and he reached out and grabbed a corner of the huge oil painting behind him and jerked it open.
The hideous oil painting was exposed to the dim light, and as soon as Lu Mingfei's eyes touched the oil painting, the whole person was shocked by the momentum displayed by the oil painting.
On the screen, the World Tree spreads in all directions, and under the iron-gray sky, a black giant beast spreads its huge bone wings, looking up to the sky and spewing out the black dragon flame that destroys the world.
"It's ...... Dragon? Lu Mingfei was stunned, and he felt shocked by the coercion of oil painting.
"That's right, Dragon. More precisely, Nid Hogg, the Black King. The half-decayed giant tree that he devoured was the world tree described in the Norse mythology of the Old Edda. β
"The World Tree is the origin of the world, the origin of life, the origin of time, it is the 'Tao' that derives all things in the Chinese Taoist doctrine, the 'Taiyi' expounded by the Neo-Platonic school of ancient Rome, and the absolutely transcendent God, the source of all existence, where all things originate!"
In addition, Jehovah in Christianity, Lord Rulai in Buddhist culture, and Allah Allah in Islam are all His incarnations in the human world. He is the origin of the world and the only truth! β
Hearing Professor Guderian's explanation, Lu Mingfei's heart was shaken violently, and he seemed to see that the World Tree hidden in the oil painting was about to move, intending to launch his oracle to the whole world, angry and hideous.
"And below the World Tree, there is the Ancestral Dragon known as Nidhogg, which in the history of the dragons is also known as the Black Emperor, the Black King, and the Harbinger of Doom...... In ancient mythology, it took away the authority of the World Tree and created the fourth domain in addition to the bacterial domain, the archaeal domain, and the eukaryotic domain, the dragon domain! β
"Wait, wait!" Lu Mingfei felt that he couldn't accept such a large amount of information for a while, and he really needed a little time to slow down.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and hesitated, "So, Kassel Academy...... Is it an academy specializing in dragons? Like seminary studies theology, medical school studies medicine, and you specialize in a transcendent creature called the Dragons? β
As a red-scarf boy who received materialist ideological education since childhood, Lu Mingfei felt that it was difficult for him to accept the concept of the dragon clan, but at this moment, due to the situation, he had to follow Professor Guderian's words.
"Nope! More precisely, we are studying - slaying dragons! β
Professor Guderian said, reaching out and scanning the neatly stacked hardcover books on the shelves.
"Do you see these books on the shelves? These books are the experience and knowledge of countless half-breed ancestors over thousands of years, covering "Genealogy of the Dragons", "Dragons and Spirituality", "Solomon's Key", "Dragons of the Bloodline", "Dragons Genometics", and so on. β
"Countless ancestors searched for dragons and studied dragons, and the Kassel Academy is the one who put it all together. At Kassel Academy, you can choose from different disciplines such as Alchemy Engineering, Magic Mechanical Design, Dragon Clan Theory, etc., all of which are designed to enable our young people to grow into true dragon slayers! β
"When the dragons awaken, use the sword tempered by blood and fire to slay them on the throne of the ancient!"
Lu Mingfei saw Guderian's generous statement, his face twitched, and he thought to himself, Do you want to make such a big joke? Could this be the opening CG of the new version of Monster Hunter? I inadvertently joined the Ancient Dragon Investigation Group, and my next goal is to hunt down the Great Thief Dragon, the Flying Thunder Dragon, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, and the Female Fire Dragon?
β¦β¦
There was a loud bang, the whole train shook, all the lights flickered and went out, and darkness fell.
"Huh? The train hit the mountain? What about the logistics group? Would you like to check if it's a lava dragon attack? Lu Mingfei said bad things.
"Lu Mingfei, what they said is true." Someone whispered in the dark.
"Who?" Lu Mingfei hurriedly turned around.
At this moment, the light returned to the field of vision.
However, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he was not in the train, and the surrounding environment had changed.
Beneath his feet were gold everywhere, mountains of gems glittering, and keel crosses made of silver or bronze were suspended from high flagpoles.
At the end of the line of sight, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old sat on a throne made of a twist of bronze tree vines, his eyes like two pools of melted gold paint.
It was a pair of incomparably dazzling golden eyes.
"Don't you know me, brother?" The boy stood to his feet.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei saw that he was wearing a luxurious and noble gold trimmed robe, and on his black broken hair was wearing a crown made of crystal white bones, and every line on it was exquisite and perfect, comparable to the heirloom of a master carver.
This style of dress made him look like some young emperor of ancient Europe, as if he had just stepped out of the set of "Game of Thrones" or something like that.
Where am I? What happened? Am I dreaming...... Lu Mingfei was a little surprised and pressed his head.
Similar scenes are actually not unfamiliar, I don't know when they started, as soon as he fell asleep and dreamed, he would see such scenes, and he had become accustomed to calling such a world a nightmare world.
"How long are you going to pretend to sleep, brother?" The boy suddenly said sadly.
"Time is running out for you. The day the dragons rush to wake up is when Ragnarok falls. It was the end of the ancient prophecy, where molten slash would erupt from the earth, blood would stain the sky red, and the bones of the dead would pile up from here to the end of the world. And that ancient immortal king will awaken from the abyss and devour the entire world......"
"Or ...... Are you timid? After foreseeing those possible nightmares in the future? β
"After witnessing Old Tang, Xia Mi, and ...... After the death of Eri? β
As the boy's voice fell, Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.
The world in front of him changed suddenly, and he saw an iron tower rise from the ground, towering into the sky. The rainbow-like viaduct stretches outward, and clusters of buildings expand around.
Sky Tree, Shinjuku Ward, Kabukicho......
Although Lu Mingfei had never been to this city, he subconsciously gave a judgment in his mind:
Tokyo.
It hurts, it hurts...... It's as if something important is about to be lost.
Lu Mingfei's face was terrified, he saw the ground under his feet crack, and his body couldn't suppress the fall, although he knew that it was in a nightmare, he still felt a very real sense of falling.
Then, he landed steadily on the ground, and in front of him there were countless white filaments crawling all over the inner walls of the storage well, which looked like the hyphae of some kind of mold, but this filament was deadly to any form of living being, and the intense corrosive properties cut off life within a radius of one kilometer.
Huge raindrops hit the well of blood, like ripples on the surface of a red lake.
Lu Mingfei looked up, and above his field of vision, a line of small words was outlined in scarlet.
γTokyo, Tama River Mountains, Red Wellγ
- The Well of Hidden Remains.
