Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 103 No.40 Nine Acts of Norse Mythology
"Senior brother, didn't you tell your stepfather?" Xia Mi asked, "You can ask your stepfather to find him."

"No, I haven't told him about this because it has nothing to do with him. It's my business." Chu Zihang whispered, "I just asked him to send me to learn swordsmanship. I have been using it for three years. Time, I got my black belt, before that no one believed that a primary school student could do it.”

"But I have to get it within three years, because if it's more than three years and I graduate, I don't know which high school I'm going to go to, and I can't beat him."

"Oh!" Xia Mi praised.

"I asked him to fight before my graduation ceremony. Every time he kicked at me, I hit him on the knee with my bamboo sword. I practiced this kind of blow in the air every time I practiced for three years."

"I thought about how he kicked his legs and how I hit him. Every time he got up, he couldn't believe it. How could you always hit him?" Chu Zihang's voice was a little hoarse. "I won't answer, of course I will." You can hit it every time! Because I’ve practiced it ten thousand times!”

"Senior brother is awesome! Beat him up!" Xia Mi said with starry eyes.

"Since then I have believed in one thing, everyone can hold their own life in their own hands." Chu Zihang's pupils were dancing with sparks like iron.

"What about senior brother's biological father? How did he..." Xia Mi actually didn't have the heart to ask this, but to achieve a certain purpose, she had to ask.

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

"Odin, the main god of the Aga clan in Nordic mythology?" 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 others again, just like the absolute realm in EVA.

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

"One rainy evening seven years ago..." Chu Zihang lowered his head, the golden color in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

……

……

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

"Yeah." Chu Zihang responded in a low voice.

"Does Odin really exist?" Xia Mi swayed his feet under the table, "It's hard to imagine how we would resist Odin when we meet him head-on."

"Perhaps I will never be able to resist..." Chu Zihang murmured to himself, "At that time, my father only exchanged one life for another. He picked up the knife and jumped towards the god on the throne, so I have the chance to live until now. "

"Senior brother, don't be so discouraged!" Xia Mi reached across the table and patted his shoulder, "Didn't you say it? Everyone can hold their own life in their own hands. I believe you can do it!"

"I want to do it too..." He looked up at the ceiling of the library, "It's just that I know almost nothing about Odin right now."

"I haven't heard anything about Odin since he appeared that night. Do you think it's ridiculous? You want to take revenge, but you can't even find your enemy." Chu Zihang said mockingly.

"I joined the Executive Department and searched for traces of dragons all over the world, just in the hope that one day I could meet Odin again and have an upright fight with him."

"It doesn't matter even if I die in battle, at least I swung my sword at Him."

"Brother, are you pushing yourself too hard?" Xia Mi asked, "It's okay if you can't find Odin. Just live in the present moment."

"Lu Mingfei said the same thing about me. Maybe he really pushed himself too hard."

"Let's do this." Xia Mi tilted his head, "How about we talk about other things? For example...senior brother, your vision for the future?"

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

"What Lu Mingfei? Senior brother, do you like Lu Mingfei? Everything involves Lu Mingfei!" Xia Mi slapped the table and used an angry look to cover up the fact that he and Lu Mingfei were indeed in cahoots.

"No." Chu Zihang answered honestly, "My sexual orientation is normal."

"Then senior brother, have you never thought about what kind of girl you will fall in love with in the future?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.

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

"Okay then." Xia Mi curled his lips and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Odin represents the god of justice in Norse mythology. I didn't expect that he is evil in the real world. He will be a Dragon King?"

"I'm not sure either." Chu Zihang thought, "In Nordic mythology, Odin is the king of gods who rules the Asa clan, and he is very famous."

"And our imaginary ultimate enemy at Kassel College, the Black King Nidhogg, has been chewing on the roots of the World Tree. It is not a world-destroying existence, but more of an early warning and warning for "Twilight of the Gods". precursor. "

"The real cause of "Twilight of the Gods" was not Nidhogg, but the feud between the giants and the Asa tribe. Xia Mi held his head and said, "I must have remembered it correctly." "

"That's right." Chu Zihang nodded, "The protagonists of this war are the giants and the Asa clan, and Nidhogg is just a symbol."

"In Nordic mythology, Black King Nidhogg's status is far inferior to that of the main god Odin, but in the history of the dragon clan such as "Ice Sea Fragment", he has always been the supreme being as the supreme power and virtue. So in Nordic mythology Is everything recorded in it untrue? Xia Mi asked as if inadvertently.

"It's possible." Chu Zihang pondered for a while, "You provided me with a brand new way of thinking."

"That's right!" Xia Mi hummed proudly, "Odin does not exist in the history of the Dragon Clan. If you hadn't said that you had encountered Odin, senior brother, I wouldn't have known there was such a thing."

"Black King Nidhogg is supposed to be above everything, but he is just a symbol in mythology..." Chu Zihang chewed this sentence repeatedly in a low voice, and suddenly raised his head, "Will that be the case with Nordic mythology and the Dragon Clan?" Isn’t history fundamentally corresponding? The Norse mythology we at Kassel College have studied for so long have gone in the wrong direction?”

"Brother, have you ever heard, "History is written by the victors"? Xia Mi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Perhaps the Norse mythology we see now has been rewritten?" ""yes! "Someone said, pulling up a chair next to Chu Zihang and sitting down, "If we follow the principle that "history is written by the victors", then the existence of the Black King is downplayed in Nordic mythology, and the status of the Asa clan is emphasized. Everything seemed to go smoothly. "

It was Lu Mingfei. He had actually come to the library with Nuonuo a long time ago, but he had just been sitting far away, watching the interaction between Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.

"But there will be a new problem." Nono sat down next to Xia Mi, and the four of them sat opposite each other. "Because Odin had already known about Ragnarok from the prophecy, he had gathered enough troops to deal with it and sent Valki Collect the souls of the dead in battle and turn them into heroic warriors."

"Senior sister!" Lu Mingfei shouted, "Awesome! It doesn't matter that you are beautiful, I didn't expect you to be so academic!"

"Don't interrupt." Nuonuo glanced at him with disgust and continued, "The end of the Asi Clan was a battle called "Twilight of the Gods."Although Odin foresaw the coming of the end, he did not tell the other gods because this was a fate that none of the gods could escape. "

"That's right!" Xia Mi nodded desperately like a chicken pecking at rice, "In this battle, all members of the giant clan united to attack the Kingdom of God. All the gods fought with all their strength, but under the siege of the giants, the Asi gods successively Die in battle.”

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

"After the war ended, the surviving flame giant Surut waved the flaming magic sword in his hand and burned the entire world. After the fire was extinguished, Odin's sons Vader and Vali and two humans survived and established a new world. , this is the end of Norse mythology."

"So..." Chu Zihang understood what they wanted to express, "At the end of the Nordic mythology, the World Tree collapsed, the gods died, and even Odin died in that war, but what happened in reality What is Odin?"

"So." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "The history of the dragon clan does not match the Nordic mythology at all. It has always been wrong for us to try to understand the dragon clan from the Nordic mythology."

"Senior Brother Lu, what are your suggestions?" Xia Mi showed an admiring look, "Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

"It's better to say goodbye..." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, "I have little talent and knowledge, and I'm afraid it will interfere with the judgment of the big guys... Oh, senior sister, what are you doing?"

Nuonuo rolled up the book on the table and hit him on the head, "Just say what I told you to say, and don't make any fancy things."

"Okay..." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Is it possible that the current Odin... is not the original Odin at all?"

Except for Lu Mingfei, all three of them were silent, as if a bolt of lightning struck their heads.

Everyone discussing around this table knows something more or less, and everyone has their own thoughts and wants to get some useful information from others.

But among them, Lu Mingfei is the leader. As the World Supreme, of course he knows the most.

"Senior Brother Lu, what do you mean...?" Xia Mi narrowed his eyes, "Odin is not the real Odin. He is a stolen god?"

Lu Mingfei did not directly answer Xia Mi's question. Instead, he leaned back on the chair, put his hands behind his head, and said slowly, "Odin is the grandson of the first-generation God King Buli, and the second-generation God King Bao One of the three sons of Er and the giantess Bestela, who was the daughter of the giant Borsun. His two brothers were named Willy and Vi, and others said they were Heinir and Lord. "

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

"Loki...?" Xia Mi wrinkled his cute eyebrows, "Brother Lu, you mean Odin is the Dragon King? He and Loki are twins? Just like the way of merging authority among the four great monarchs of the Dragon Clan, one side If you want to gain complete authority, you must devour the other party, and Odin or Loki, they have already..."

She suddenly stopped talking, as if she thought of something, she lowered her head, her hair jumping in the air.

"I didn't say they were the twins of the Dragon King." Lu Mingfei said lazily, "Odin and Loki are sworn brothers. Come on, even if they are swallowed, it will be of no use."

"You mean, Loki stole Odin's power?" Chu Zihang is indeed a top student. He immediately grasped the many hidden meanings in Lu Mingfei's words, "Being sworn brothers is a lie, spying on Odin The authority is real.”

"Who knows." Lu Mingfei shrugged and hummed a drama quietly.

"What you are humming is the play "The Ring of the Nibelungs" written by Richard Wagner." Nono said suddenly, and she also caught the hidden meaning in Lu Mingfei's words, "Wagner will be the Valkyrie Brunchy." Brünnhilde was imagined as the daughter of Wotan, however, in traditional mythology Brünnhilde is not the daughter of Odin, usually she is the daughter of King Budli of Sweden."

"Speaking of which, I remember that Wagner was also a famous mixed race." Xia Mi recovered from a certain mood and continued to participate in the topic, "Otherwise he wouldn't be able to write "Niebo" about the dragon secrets. Dragon Root's Ring"."

"Junior sister is right." Lu Mingfei nodded, "It's certainly impossible for him not to know the relationship between Odin and the Valkyrie in traditional mythology, but he deliberately pretended to be a pretentious person in "The Ring of the Nibelungs" and put the female The Valkyrie is written as Odin’s daughter.”

"Then what's the purpose of this? Is it really that he made a mistake? Or does it imply that Odin is not the Odin in Nordic mythology at all?"

There was silence again between the four of them.

"Why does Senior Brother Lu know so much about Nordic mythology?" Xia Mi asked, staring into Lu Mingfei's eyes, as if it was a test, "Aren't you a scumbag?"

"Please, don't really think of me as a scumbag." Lu Mingfei shouted sadly, "I am also a liberal arts man. I studied dragon history in Kassel, and when it comes to dragon history, I have to References to Norse mythology.”

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi shrank his neck without interest, thinking that this road was really watertight, and it was hard to test anything.

"Have you ever heard of Avalon?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly. "According to legend, King Arthur's final habitat is the Elysium in the other world, which is guarded by nine fairies."

"The island of Avalon is very similar to Tyrnano in Irish mythology, the Golden Apple Garden of the Hesperides in Greek mythology, and the Garden of Eden in Jewish mythology."

"Hey, aren't we talking about Norse mythology? Why are we suddenly talking about Celtic mythology? Is there any necessary connection between the two?" Xia Mi said dissatisfiedly, a little angry when he failed to succeed.

"Don't you think there are many similarities between Norse mythology and Celtic mythology?" Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "And many residents of the birthplace of Norse mythology migrated to Great Britain in later generations. I don't think we can find that in Norse mythology. If there are no clues, why not change your thinking and try to get some new understanding from Celtic mythology."

"Okay." Xia Mi admitted defeat. She felt that Lu Mingfei must have some private goods hidden away, "Then where do we start?"

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