Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

Chapter 57 Countdown to Odin's appearance

"Snakes get so big because reptiles, unlike mammals, never stop dividing their cells. It's also why they shed their skin, because the growing body always bursts through the old skin. "

Dawn and Old Tang explained in a low voice, "In principle, they can grow infinitely, provided they have a long enough lifespan. Although snakes live long, their lifespan is always limited. You've heard of Avalon's Is it a legend? On this island, time does not flow, and nothing dies..."

"So they can grow infinitely?" Old Tang's eyes widened.

"Just guessing."

"Are those snakes afraid of us just now?" Old Tang asked suspiciously.

Dawn nodded, and took a look at Old Tang. To be precise, he was afraid of you.

Old Tang didn't know that he was actually a moving snake-repellent toilet water in the eyes of others.Thought it was Alfred's credit.

"Let's go up the mountain." Merlin held on to his top hat and smiled mysteriously.

It is almost exactly the same as the scene presented in that painting. The island is surrounded by a circle of curved mountain walls, with only one gap, and the pier is built on the gap.

This geological structure seems to be formed naturally, but it is too regular. It is shaped like an ancient Roman Colosseum with a corner collapsed. Neatly.

Four guys who were not considered human walked up the steps slowly.The steps are directly excavated on the rock, the surface is rough but flat, clean and dust-free, very comfortable to walk on.

This is a ladder dug for humans... Dawn raised his brows, it shouldn't be...

According to their guess, this place should be a Nibelungen made by the dragons. The size of the dragons is not enough to walk the ladder of humans, right?
Even on the main peak of Hornacis, although Antigonus established the Kingdom of the Night on the mountainside, he still built a giant-like palace in the form of his own mythical creature in the place where he really lived.

And the "City of Miracles" Levished established by the real "Dragon of Imagination" Angleweed will not build a city according to human standards...

The stairs are very easy for them to walk on, and they just fit the human body structure.This suggests that the builders were human, or at least about human height, and bipedal.

It was built for humans, or rather, for creatures of human size.

But... this island, whether it is called "Island of Death" or Avalon, as long as it is the Nibelungen, it can basically be related to the Dragon Race.

Were the creatures that once walked on these steps human-like or swaggering giant dragons?
Merlin's footsteps stopped outside a cave, and the mysterious expression on his face finally changed and became very heavy.

Alfred's expression also became very deep.

Old Tang poked his head out from behind Alfred quietly, looking deep into the cave, wanting to see what caused the changes in the expressions of these two people.

It was a coffin, a coffin made entirely of gold, with vine-like patterns carved all over the body, as if wrapped in an ancient golden tree.It is so simple and solemn, yet extremely luxurious, there is no doubt that the remains of an ancient king are placed there.

"!" Could it be the remains of King Arthur?Old Tang glanced at Alfred indiscriminately.

Of course, Old Tang's small actions couldn't be hidden from the angel-level audience. Audrey could easily guess what Old Tang was thinking.

But Audrey didn't say much, her attention was mainly focused on the coffin in the cave.

She noticed the strangeness of this golden coffin. It was priceless and extremely exquisitely crafted, but it had two arm-thick iron hoops around the head and tail of the coffin.Four thick iron chains were attached to each hoop, and the iron rods at the ends of the iron chains were deeply inserted into the rock.

Someone, whoever it was, seemed to be afraid that the bones in the coffin would come back to life, so they locked the whole coffin with iron hoops, and then secured it with chains.It was a coffin of extreme honor, but it was also an unbreakable cage.

There is a similar tradition in human history. In ancient Romania, where stories of vampires were widely spread, relatives would seal those who were believed to have been bitten to death by vampires into steel coffins, and stuff bricks into the mouths of the corpses. This would prevent him from being resurrected as a vampire.

A small piece of the rock wall next to the cave has been polished, engraved with ancient characters that they cannot understand, each line is an angry snake, and all the strokes are combined like a group of violent snakes.

According to the experience of the mysterious trio, this kind of writing should be written with the power of mysticism, like ancient Hermes.

Audrey felt that this should also be a kind of dragon script, but she had never seen this kind of script in Kassel Academy.

But what is basically certain is that this is the name and date of birth and death of the person in the coffin, just like the content on the tombstone.

Old Tang couldn't understand it either, but he felt a little uneasy because he had the illusion of familiarity with this kind of writing, as if he had mastered it before.

Old Tang looked at the expressions of the other three in confusion, and found that their expressions were all calm, and they were also reading these words carefully.

They knew this kind of writing, and Old Tang took it for granted that, after all, what was buried here should be the remains of King Arthur, or a tomb of clothes and the like.

Even if it wasn't, it would be some kind of big character in mythology.

And Alfred is the reincarnation of King Arthur or is himself, of course I know him.

The same goes for Merlin.

"Keep going up." Merlin led them up the stairs.

There is a coffin in each cave, coffins of different textures, some are carved out of a whole piece of granite, some are made of black iron, and some are made of precious metals such as gold and silver. None of them are priceless treasures, but each All the tools were hooped with iron hoops, and then locked in the cave with iron chains.

Old Tang began to realize that there was a terrible atmosphere in this mysterious island.

Just like the legend, this island has two characteristics of life and death at the same time. The towering cypress trees and the giant snake that shed its skin repeatedly are its "life" side; The remains are its "dead" side.

Life and death, two diametrically opposed concepts, have reached a balance on this weird island.

"Are these...the king's coffins?" Old Tang asked Alfred in a low voice, he didn't dare to face Dawn and Merlin.

In Old Tang's mind, Dawn's image was on the same level as the weird island of Avalon, and the black glove restaurant had brought him a deep psychological shadow.

He thought that the coffin was the sleeping place of King Arthur, but the conclusion was quickly overturned.

Old Tang looked at the luxurious coffins all over the island, and felt a little speechless. Did the nine queens of Avalon regard this place as a king's hotel?Let the king enjoy the highest treatment even after his death?
"It's Odin." Merlin's tone became cold and indifferent, like the sea before a storm. "After Odin occupied this place, he turned it into a smog and a dead silence."

As he spoke, there was still an angry light in his eyes.

Although I don't know what's going on with these coffins, it's enough to push it to Odin anyway, and Merlin added the scene temporarily.

Merlin and Dawn, who are ancient scholars, recognized that two of the coffins were products of the "Second Empire of Thebes" in ancient Egypt. bird script.

The first golden coffin was likely from the Sumerian period, the oldest recorded human civilization. At that time, iron smelting had not yet been invented, but gold was easier to obtain; as for those black iron coffins , it should be a product of the Hittite civilization. The ancient Hittite Empire swept Asia Minor with its powerful iron swords.

As Old Tang said, these may be the coffins of kings, or king-level figures. They should have been located in grand royal tombs all over the world, but they were transported to this Nibelungen by someone who doesn't know.

This is a museum of imperial bones, but it is never open to anyone unless you know its latitude and longitude, when it opens to the real world, and how to enter it.Or just "open the door" to enter here like the mysterious people.

At last they climbed to the highest point of the mountain face.Looking out, the sea is constantly undulating slightly, the sky is always the same color, and the surroundings are always half-light and half-dark, like morning or evening.

Looking back at the center of the island, I don’t know when the curling mist has obliterated Stonehenge, and even the towering cypress trees are only exposed to the mist.

Everything is between reality and fantasy, standing here, it seems to have reached the end of the world, people suddenly feel world-weary, want to sit down and breathe slowly, and then turn into a stone statue.

Even the well-informed Audrey and the others were shocked by the beauty of this moment.

"Where is Odin?" Alfred suddenly turned his head and asked Merlin.

Merlin glanced at the mirror in his hand, evoked a pleasant smile, and said, "He has already found us."

Where Old Tang could not see, the last wisp of thin gray mist dissipated.

then……

The huge dragon cypress tree in the distance suddenly lit up, as if a flame was ignited.

This island, which has no passage of time and no change of day and night, seems to be about to rise.The faint light expanded extremely quickly, and soon half of the sky turned golden, and the blue clouds were completely engulfed by the light.

Old Tang couldn't see anything clearly, but he instinctively realized that someone was coming.

Who, when he came, the world was illuminated by his light?His breath diffused between the sky and the earth, like a high wall connecting the sky.

This kind of situation should only appear in the "Bible" or "Mahabharata". It is not used to describe the arrival of human beings or even emperors, but to describe the opening of the kingdom of heaven and the coming of gods!
Old Tang couldn't see that he was beside him, Merlin and Dawn both showed displeased expressions, the main body didn't appear so forceful, okay?

Why the hell is this Odin making such a cool appearance!
