"Yes, the Golden Country is not a good place, and all the creatures here must pay 'value' to this world."

It was Xia Mi who answered Lu Mingfei, and she scolded and said, "What I learned is that everything here belongs to Norton, so even if you just breathe here, you are borrowing from him, and outsiders will be completely assimilated into a member of this place after a long time." ”

For them, perhaps this means that they have failed to clear the level.

"Just like parking fees and rent, people living in this world are borrowing their lives from Norton all the time, so if you want to survive, you have to pay the necessary 'price'."

"Not only outsiders, but also the local residents of this world have to pay this kind of 'breath tax' like something, and those who can't afford it will become nourishment for the Golden Township."

Bu Shun said creepy words with a smile on his face, "How is it, do you finally have a little understanding of Norton, the dragon king?" ”

Everyone felt a chill, this is much more terrible than any capitalist, don't the inhabitants of this world have been burdened with debts that will not end since they are born?

In, look at the surplus value?

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang instinctively resisted this behavior.

Worker grandfather, I, I hate you the most!

"It's a surprise that Xia Mi can unearth this kind of memory fragment in her blood. But after all, this is only a dream realm, not a complete world, and all we can do is 'pass the plot' and clear this memory fragment. ”

"Regardless of the cost, outsiders can stay in Golden Country for a maximum of six hours, which is the deadline."

Bu Shun, who controlled the elf's body, clasped his hands to his chest and made a serious expression: "My identity is the guide of the mission, so remember to follow me after a while, don't get lost." ”

His body was small and constantly emitting a warm light, and the four leaf-shaped wings of light behind Bu Shun, who controlled the elf mixed in with the giant, vibrated lightly.

Tiny scales floated out of the elves' wings, conjuring up a huge map before the eyes of several of the Faos students.

The map clearly marked the names of the three areas of "Bronze City", "Golden Town", and "Svatalfheim", and a black dot of light marked their location at the moment.

Now they have moved away from the "Bronze City", which is the residence of the King of Bronze and Fire, and have come to the edge of the Golden Country.

If you cross one more layer of marginal line, you can enter Svatalfheim, which is 100 times the size of the Golden Country.

In other words, the Golden Township, which is marked in red on the map, as the core area, actually only accounts for about one percent of the area of this country of dwarfs.

Well, the map guide is also available, and several of the students in Faos feel more and more like a game.

However, Chu Zihang, who is very interested in Norse mythology, looked at the current Bu Shun and asked with a little curiosity, "Chief, what are you doing now...... Genie? ”

Xia Mi answered Chu Zihang's question for Bu Shun: "It's a light elf, and the mission specially found an elf to lead the way in order to go back and forth to the Golden Township." ”

There are two types of spirits in Norse mythology, light spirits and dark spirits.

Among them, dark elves are often confused with dwarfs, and light elves are not the blonde pointed ears that live in the woods as common in various modern literary and artistic works, but are closer to the fantasy creatures of "goblins" in a broad sense.

And in this dragon world, Elves are naturally directly subordinate to a certain dragon king.

Bu Shun waved his wings and marked a dotted path on the map of light and shadow.

At the same time, he said with a little deep meaning: "The dragon kings each have their own dependents, which is their most core subordinate power, but do you know why you can't see Norton's dependents in the bronze city of the Golden Township?" ”

Lu Mingfei carefully paid attention to the map of light and shadow that Bu Shun had shaped to show them, and frowned slightly:

"Is it because the gnomes live underground in this country?"

When he was in a mythology class, Lu Mingfei listened to the teacher, according to the description of Norse mythology, dwarfs live in caves and underground, and are good at forging.

But now listening to Bu Shun's meaning, it doesn't seem to be the case?

Chu Zihang and Zero thought about this question seriously, but Yuan Zhinu suddenly patted her paws, "It's because of Norton's character!" ”

"Even if it's his own dependents, it's just a slave to him who provides him with 'value', so he doesn't allow a dwarf to appear in his own palace, right?"

Vaguely glancing at the only old female dragon here who could give an accurate answer besides him, Bu Shun nodded approvingly and affirmed:

"Exactly!"

What kind of dragon is Norton?

That's a very thought-provoking question.

Even Jörmungad, who has always been vicious and vicious, can point fingers at him without any burden.

Tyranny is in the nature of the dragon race, and the desire to kill and destroy is already in their blood, but Norton is the best of them, and it can even be said that it is the master.

Svatalfheim, the land of gnomes, is Norton's domain and his own Nibelungen, and its rules are naturally set by the Lord of Bronze and Fire.

He regarded everything in his realm as his own.

For the temperamental, greedy and arrogant dragon king, all races born within his realm must pay back to themselves the debts they have borne since their birth.

Eating, breathing, reproducing, dying......

Even the spirit after death will become the material for Norton's use of alchemy.

And all this, absolutely!

Over the course of a long time, all the beings in the realm of gnomes have become accustomed to this rule, and have even carved it into their blood.

As dependents of Norton, they have no right to refuse! Can't leave either!

"This is also the reason why the gnomes living in the Golden Country are always crafting all kinds of secret treasures, and then contributing them to Norton."

"This is their contribution of 'value', so as not to be swallowed by the Golden Township, so the gnomes themselves will not have too many secret treasures left in their hands."

Bu Shun continued to talk about the information he had learned from this fragment of memory.

Thanks to Miss Jörmungad, he had just learned this information, and he had disappeared for a while before when he went to investigate the information.

He can only say that the secrets related to the dragon king himself, such as dependents and world rules, can only be understood carefully enough by a dragon king like Jörmungad.

The society of the dragon clan is too far away for modern humans, and can even be described as the "age of mythology". Now he took this opportunity to peek into the tip of the iceberg, and learned more about the nature of the Lord of Bronze and Fire, who was about to become their enemy.

"Alchemy" and "Value", the cruel and ruthless king......

The "reality" that we learn from illusory dreams is, as Lu Mingfei said, the most valuable thing.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang now have their own ideas in their hearts.

For Lu Mingfei, who was not born as a dragon slayer and was dug to Faos by Bu Shun halfway, he didn't know much about the dragon clan, but he knew that they had great power and once dominated the whole world.

However, such a race, which has disappeared in the eyes of modern people, will set off an apocalypse of destruction in the future......

Norton used his tyranny and ruthlessness to tell him what kind of existence the dragon clan is, and he finally had a "real feeling" for this imaginary enemy clan in his heart.

Chu Zihang was thinking about Odin.

Jörmungård has it, so do the gnomes, and the dragons are gradually revealing in his eyes some secrets that he could not know and did not deserve to know.

But what about Odin? What is the identity of the king of the Aesir gods, who has the same position as the "protagonist" in Norse mythology?

"Jörmungad" claims to have come here to reconcile the conflict between the Aesirs and Constantine!

Asgard and the Aesir did exist in the history of the dragons, considering that the giants and elves were all dependents of a certain dragon king, could it be that the king of the Aesir gods was also a dragon king?

Odin is one of the four great monarchs, a dragon king in Asgard in the same way that Norton dominates the country of gnomes?

Chu Zihang has never felt that he is so close to the "truth" for a moment.

After spending years in Kassel and getting nothing, he is now approaching secrets that were once unimaginable with ease.

Joining Faos was the best decision he had ever made!

Invisibly, Chu Zihang's heart recognized the Faos Academy a little more.

He told Bu Shun and other classmates about his idea, and was quickly affirmed by Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhinu. Although Lu Mingfei felt that this guess was not necessarily correct, it still had some value.

After all, the spread of mythology must have its meaning, and Odin is indeed very likely to be related to the world of "Asgard", which is located at the highest point of the Nine Realms.

"But who is the ruler of Asgard?" He looked at Natsumi, who was probably the most knowledgeable of them all about the history of the dragon clan right now, "Jörmungadr should know. ”

The mountain giant's brows twisted into a ball on his cold, rock-like face, as if he was in deep thought.

After a while, Xia Mi's voice sounded in the consciousness of several people:

"The master of Asgard is the king of the sky and the wind."

"But according to the 'memories of Jörmungadri,' it seems that the Lord of the Sky and the Wind has been missing for hundreds of years."

"I don't know any more."

She clasped her hands together and said with a hint of apology in her voice, "I'm sorry, senior brother, if I know more about it, I'll tell you." ”

I still haven't received any information that I can trust with confidence, but I've improved a lot compared to what I used to be. Chu Zihang was not discouraged, but said with great gratitude: "Xia Mi, thank you!" ”

Xia Mi grinned and waved her hand with a big grin, "It's okay, if you want to thank you, thank you for it!" ”

But under this disguised mask, she felt a slight chill in her heart, suppressing all the anger and hatred that boiled like lava.

- Only the last one of her words was a lie.

PS: She also has to say thank you to us (multiple meanings.)
