Act 49 Norse Mythology

"Senior brother, didn't you tell your stepfather?" Natsumi asked, "I can let your stepfather go to him."

"No, I didn't tell him about it, because it has nothing to do with him, it's my business." Chu Zihang whispered, "I just want him to send me to learn kendo. It took me three years to get my black belt, and no one believed that a primary school kid could do it until then."

"But I have to get it in three years, because if I graduate in more than three years, I don't know which middle school I'll go to, I can't beat him."

"Oh!" Natsumi admired.

"I asked him to fight before the graduation ceremony, and every time he flew at me, I hit him in the knee with a bamboo sword, and I practiced that punch in the air every time I practiced for three years."

I thought about how he kicked his legs, how I struck. Every time he got up, he couldn't believe it, and said, "How can you keep hit?" Chu Zihang's voice was a little hoarse, "I don't answer, of course I can hit every time!" Because I've practiced 10,000 times!"

"Senior brother is awesome! Beat him up!" Natsumi's starry eyes.

"Since then I have believed in one thing, that everyone can take their own life into their own hands." Chu Zihang's childlike hole was beating like an iron.

"What about my brother's own father? How did he ......" Natsumi didn't really bear to ask this, but in order to achieve a certain purpose, she had to ask.

"......" Chu Zihang was silent for a while, "Have you heard of Odin?"

"The main god of the Agar gods in Norse mythology, Odin?" Xia Mi asked knowingly, "Of course I've heard of it."

He took a deep breath, thinking that he would never tell this story to anyone again, like the absolute realm in EVA.

But for some reason, he suddenly let down all his guard and wanted to tell Xia Mi what happened that night.

"On a rainy evening seven years ago...... Chu Zihang lowered his head, the gold in his eyes became more and more brilliant.

……

……

"So that's it?" Xia Mian listened quietly.

"Hmm." Chu Zihang replied in a low voice.

"By the way, Odin really exists?" Natsumi shook her feet under the table, "It's hard to imagine how we can resist when we encounter Odin head-on."

"Maybe I'll never be able to resist...... Chu Zihang muttered to himself, "At that time, my father was just one life for another, he picked up his sword and jumped to the god on the throne, so I had a chance to live until now."

"Senior brother, don't be so discouraged!" Natsumi crossed the table and patted him on the shoulder, "Didn't you say that? Everyone can take their own lives into their own hands, and I'm sure you can do it!"

"I want to too......" he looked up at the ceiling of the library, "except that I know almost nothing about Odin right now."

"I haven't heard from Odin since she showed up that night. Do you think it's ridiculous? I want to take revenge, but I can't even find the enemy." Chu Zihang said self-deprecatingly.

"I joined the Enforcement Department and traveled the world to find traces of the dragons, just in the hope that one day I would meet Odin again, and I would fight her to the death."

"It doesn't matter if she dies in battle, at least I've slashed at her."

"Senior brother, are you going to push yourself too hard?" Natsumi asked, "It's okay if you can't find Odin, just live in the moment first."

"Lu Mingfei also said the same about me, maybe he really pushed himself too hard."

"So be it." Natsumi tilted her head, "How about we talk about something else?" Like what...... Brother, what do you think about the future?"

"Lu Mingfei also asked, are you two colluding?" Chu Zihang said surgingly.

"What Lu Mingfei? Senior brother, do you like Lu Mingfei? Everything is related to Lu Mingfei!" Xia Mi slapped the table and used her anger to hide the fact that she was indeed embarrassed by Lu Mingfei.

"Nope." Chu Zihang replied in a dignified manner, "My sexual orientation is normal."

"Then brother, haven't you thought about what kind of girl you will fall in love with in the future?

?」 Natsumi asked suddenly.

"......" Chu Zihang paused, "No."

"Okay then." Natsumi pursed her lips and changed her words again, "Speaking of which, Odin is a god representing justice in Norse mythology, but I didn't expect her to be evil in the real world, could she be a dragon king?"

"I don't know." Chu Zihang pondered, "In Norse mythology, Odin is the king of the gods who rules over the Aesir gods, and he is famous."

And the imaginary ultimate enemy of our Kassel Academy, the Black King Nidhogg, has been gnawing at the roots of the World Tree, which is not a destructive existence, but more of a warning and precursor to Ragnarok."

"It's not Nidhogg who really caused Ragnarok, it's the feud between the giants and the Asa." Natsumi propped her head, "I should be right."

"That's right." Chu Zihang nodded, "The protagonists of this battle are the Giant Clan and the Aesir God Clan, and Nidhogg is just a symbol."

"In Norse mythology, the Black King Nidhogg's personality is far inferior to the main god Odin, but in the history of the dragon clan such as the "Ice Sea Fragment", she has always been the supreme and supreme existence of supreme power, so is everything recorded in Norse mythology untrue?" Natsumi asked as if inadvertently.

"Possibly." Chu Zihang pondered for a while, "You have provided me with a new way of thinking."

"It was meant to be!" Xia Mi snorted proudly, "There was no such thing as Odin in the history of the dragon clan, if it weren't for Senior Brother you said that you had encountered Odin, I wouldn't have known that there was such a thing."

"The Black King Nidhogg should be above everything, but she is just a symbolic ...... in mythology" Chu Zihang chewed on this sentence in a low voice, and suddenly raised his head, "Could it be that Norse mythology and dragon history are fundamentally not corresponding?" We at the Kassel Academy have been studying Norse mythology for so long, and all of them are going in the wrong direction?"

"Senior brother, have you ever heard that "history is written by the victors"?" Natsumi squinted her eyes and asked, "Maybe the Norse mythology we see now has been rewritten?"

"That's right!" Some people say that pulling out a chair next to Chu Zihang and sitting down, "If you follow the basis of 'history is written by the victor', then the existence of the Black King in Norse mythology and the emphasis on the status of the Aesir Protoss seem to be logical."

It's Lu Mingfei, he actually came to the library with Nuo Nuo a long time ago, but he has been sitting far away, watching the interaction between Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.

"But this will create a new problem." Nono sat down next to Natsumi, and the four of them sat opposite each other, "Odin, because he had already known about Ragnarok from the prophecy, gathered enough troops to deal with it, and sent Valkyrie to collect the souls of the war dead and make them Immortal Warriors."

"Senior sister!" Lu Mingfei shouted, "Awesome! It's okay if you're beautiful, I didn't expect you to be so academic!"

"Less interruptions." Nono glanced at him in disgust and continued, "The end of the Asgod Clan is a battle known as 'Twilight of the Gods'. Although Odin foresaw the coming of the end times, he did not tell the other gods, because this is a fate that no god can escape."

"That's right!" Xia Mi chick nodded desperately like pecking rice, "In this battle, all the members of the Giant Clan united to attack the Kingdom of God, and the gods fought with all their might, but under the siege of the giants, the gods of Ace died one after another."

"In the end, Thor, the god of war, killed the serpent, but also died of the snake's venom, and Odin himself was devoured to death by the giant wolf Fenrir, but then Fenrir was killed by Odin's son Vader."

"When the war was over, the surviving flame giant Surut wielded his flaming sword and burned the entire world. When the flames were extinguished, Vader and Wally, the sons of Odin, and two other humans survived and founded a new world, which was the end of Norse mythology."

"So......" Chu Zihang understood what they wanted to express, "At the end of Norse mythology, the world tree collapsed, the gods fell, and even Odin died in that war, but what is Odin in reality?"

"So." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "The history of the dragon clan and Norse mythology do not match at all, we try to understand the dragon clan from Norse mythology

Wrong."

"Senior Brother Lu, what is your opinion?" Xia Mi showed a look of adoration, "Let's talk about it!"

"It's better to say goodbye...... Lu Mingfei waved his hand, "I don't want to be a shallow learner, I'm afraid of interfering with the judgment of the elders...... Ouch, sister, what are you doing?"

Nono rolled up the book on the table and knocked it on his head, "If you tell you to say it, don't make any bells and whistles."

"Okay...... Lu Mingfei lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Could it be this Odin now...... It's not the original Odin at all?"

Except for Lu Mingfei, the three of them were all silent, as if a lightning bolt was shining on their heads.

Everyone at this table knows something to a greater or lesser extent, and everyone has their own mind and wants to get some useful information from others.

But among them, Lu Mingfei is the leader, the supreme in the world, of course, he knows the most.

"Senior Brother Lu, what do you mean......?" Natsumi squinted, "Odin isn't really Odin, she's a stolen god?"

Lu Mingfei did not answer Xia Mi's question directly, but leaned back in the chair, put his hands behind his head, and said slowly, "Odin is the grandson of the first god-king Bully, one of the three sons of the second-generation god-king Bauer and the giantess Bestella, and Bestra is the daughter of the giant Bolson. His two brothers are named Willy and Vi, and the other is Heineer and Lorde."

"In addition, he and Loki, the god of mischief and trickery, are sworn brothers......

"Loki......?" Xia Mi furrowed her lovely eyebrows, "Senior Brother Lu, do you mean that Odin is the Dragon King? Are she and Loki twins? In the same way that the four dragon monarchs merge authority, one must devour the other in order to gain full authority, and Odin, or Loki, they have ......."

She suddenly stopped talking, as if thinking of something, lowered her head, and jumped in the air with a dull hair.

"I didn't say they were the Dragonlord twins." Lu Mingfei said lazily, "Odin and Loki are sworn brothers, please, even if they devour it, it's useless."

"You mean, Loki stole Odin's authority?" Chu Zihang really deserves to be a scholar, and he caught many hidden meanings in Lu Mingfei's words in an instant, "The sworn brother is fake, and spying on Odin's authority is true."

"Who knows." Lu Mingfei shrugged his shoulders and hummed a drama softly.

"You're humming Richard Wagner's play The Ring of the Nibelungen." Nono said suddenly, and she also grasped the implicit meaning of Lu Mingfei's words, "Wagner conceived of the Valkyrie Brunhilde as the daughter of Wotan, however, in traditional mythology, Brunhilde is not the daughter of Odin, she is usually the daughter of King Boudley of Sweden."

"Speaking of which, I think that Wagner was also a famous half-blood." Natsumi recovered from a certain mood and continued to participate in the conversation, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to write 'The Ring of the Nibelungen' about the Dragon's Mysin."

"Senior sister is right." Lu Mingfei nodded, "It's certainly impossible for him not to know the relationship between the traditional myth of Odin and the Valkyrie, but he deliberately put on a crown in 'The Ring of the Nibelungen' and wrote the Valkyrie as Odin's daughter."

"And what is this for? Was he really mistaken? Or is it an implication that Odin isn't the Odin of Norse mythology at all?"

There was silence again between the four of them.

"Anyway, why does Senior Brother Lu know so much about Norse mythology?" Xia Mi stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes and asked, as if it was a temptation, "Aren't you a scumbag?"

"Please, don't really think I'm a scumbag." Lu Mingfei cried out bitterly, "I'm also a liberal arts man, I studied dragon history in Kassel, and when it comes to dragon history, I have to mention Norse mythology."

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi shrunk his neck with lack of interest, thinking that this road Mingfei is really leaky, and it is not easy to test anything if he wants to find out.

"Have you heard of Avalon?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked, "The final habitat of King Arthur is the Elysium in this world, which is guarded by nine fairies."

"Avalon and Irish mythology

Tirnano, the sacred garden of the golden apple of Hesperides in Greek mythology, and the Garden of Yindian, the Pure Land of Bliss in Jewish mythology, are very similar."

"Hey, aren't you talking about Norse mythology? Why is it suddenly related to Celtic mythology, and is there any necessary connection between the two?" Xia Mi was a little angry when she didn't succeed, and said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't you think Norse mythology and Celtic mythology have a lot in common?" Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "And many of the inhabitants of the birthplace of Norse mythology have migrated to Great Britain in later generations, I don't think we can find any clues from Norse mythology, so it is better to change our thinking and try to draw some new understanding from Celtic mythology."

"Okay." Xia Mi admitted defeat, she felt that Lu Mingfei must still have private goods hidden, "So where to start?"

"Let's start with King Arthur." Lu Mingfei spoke slowly.
