The king's figure was bathed in the morning light, and his clear voice was like a cold spring of ice: "Once you step into the gate of the God Realm, there is no turning back. Have you ever thought it through?"
"The minister, Fafna, swears in front of the emperor, and from this moment, my body and soul, everything that accomplishes me, until it becomes decayed, I wish to stay by your side forever..."
The young knight knelt before the Blackstone Throne, chanted the ancient oath, and kissed the king's fingertips piously.The contract was completed in an instant, blue flames enveloped his lean and straight body, and his light chestnut pupils turned into the color of molten gold.The king leaned on the gorgeous animal skin, and his night-colored long hair hung down from the throne like torn brocade.
"From today onwards, you have officially become the blood of our family. I will never treat my own people badly. Sir Fafnir, if you have any wishes, you may wish to ask them."
"I am so bold that I want to ask His Majesty for something."
"What?"
"Your Majesty's...here." The knight raised his face and pointed at the king's chest, his golden pupils were blazing.
"You're really daring." There was a hint of awe in the corners of the slightly raised eyes, and the king's voice could not hear any emotion.
"I deserve death for my crimes." The knight lowered his head, although he was kneeling, his back was as straight as a javelin.
"You only have one life, is it enough to die [-] times?" The king raised his beautiful eyebrows, "He said it nicely, but in his heart he was not convinced at all, and felt that I was bullying the little by the big."
"I don't dare." The knight buried his head deeply, and his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.
"In this world, is there anything that you, Fafnir, dare not do?" White fingers raised the knight's chin, and the king looked at the cold and handsome face, with playful arcs on his lips that were as pale as water. "This stubborn and unwilling expression really makes people want to break it when they see it. Well, let me make an exception and give you a chance to prove your worth. My heart is not that whoever wants it can get it Come!"
"Your Majesty..." The knight had a look of surprise on his face, and his golden pupils shone brightly.
"You still call me Your Majesty?" The king frowned, "You are already mine."
"Lord Nidhogg!"
Accompanied by a long-suppressed affectionate call, the handsome and straight knight rushed forward actively.Wrapped tightly by that powerful body of Kong Wu, the king was a little taken aback for a moment.It's not that he hasn't met someone who volunteered before, but most of those people took the initiative out of seductive gestures, and this one seemed a little hungry.
But whether it is temptation or hunger and thirst, the most rare thing is to reveal the true feelings, which is why the king did not turn the knight into a dead waiter.Walking dead who have lost themselves, puppets who are obedient to the call of blood, there are many here, and the king does not need more.In this Nibelungen, known as the "land of the dead," the sky is a semi-dark gray, made of dead air; the ground is bronze, made of dead metal and rock; A dead water elemental cannot float anything, and a dead fire elemental burns with a blue flame without temperature.There is no day or night here, the guards are dead, the gatekeepers are dead, and even the accumulated matter is dead, only this person is alive.On the cold throne, only the knight is warm.
Although the king doesn't like this kingdom of death so much, it is a paradise that human beings yearn for.For alchemists, dead matter is the best material. If you want to refine gold, you must kill silver. If you want to refine a sword, you must first kill steel.The Nibelungen is full of top-level alchemy raw materials. If they can get there, they can refine the legendary medicine of elixir and the Philosopher's Stone by picking up a stone.For the treasure thieves who covet the wealth of the Dragon Clan, the Nibelungen is a huge treasure house. Even a speck of dust there is invaluable in the human world.
To enter the territory of the dragon clan, the permission of the dragon is required.There is no shortage of humans in history who were allowed in as pilgrims. They were closely monitored by dragons and could not take anything, even if everything there was more precious than gold.But what a shrewd race are humans?After many generations of trying, they found that people who have been to the Nibelungen have a certain kind of imprint on them. This thing is called "branding".The person with the brand can sneak in again, avoid the dragon's surveillance, and successfully steal the dragon's treasure.So guys with evil intentions began to hire these people to lead them the way. In that era, warriors who defeated dragons would be awarded the highest honor, power and status by the king, and dragon blood and dragon heart allowed warriors to easily obtain unlimited The evolutionary recipe for strength.
Greed sows the seeds of disaster, and dangerous seeds will eventually germinate.When human beings extend their hands to the territory of the Black King, they are destined to be humiliated and destroyed in the future.
The death of Fafnir, the beginning of the war between dragons and humans.
On that day, the king hugged the knight's crippled body, and Shen Xiong's mournful cry echoed on the snow-covered mountain.He spread his giant wings covering the sky against the wind, fell from the zenith to the bottom of the sea, smashed through the hard winter ice, tore apart the wind and snow at the two poles, and went back and forth repeatedly, hoarse and exhausted.
On that day, the king raised the battle flag to mankind, and his anger swept across the five continents and seven oceans, laying down millions of corpses and bleeding for thousands of miles.He hung the enemy's bones all over the top of the mountain, let the warm blood flow down, melted the ice and snow, and rose into the sky with red water vapor, turning into dark red clouds, and raining bright red blood.
On that day, the king reigned over the world with his violence and majesty, ruled the whole world with the power of destiny, and grazed human beings as sheep in the name of God. Since then, Nidhogg has become a synonym for despair.No one knew that Ned Hogg was not born desperate.He is the proud son bred by heaven and earth, how could he be desperate?He is just lonely.
Because of his loneliness, he created the white king in his own image, which ushered in the biggest rebellion in the history of the dragon clan; because of his loneliness, he personally reproduced and split the four monarchs, and what he got in return was nothing but hypocrisy.He is the ancestor of the dragon race, but he is not very satisfied with his race.He closed himself in the isolated Nibelungen all day long, until a rash guy knocked on the gate of his palace, wanting to become his knight like a sacrifice, and he didn't know how to get his heart...
However, time cannot heal everything, it will only intensify the longing and multiply the pain.Killing doesn't change anything, except for the hatred to build up.Even if the throne is filled with the dead bones of enemies, some things, once lost, can never come back.
Thousands of years have passed, and the king tried various methods to revive the knight, but all ended in failure.He holds two great powers of speech and alchemy, but he is not omnipotent.There are things he can't do, such as bringing the dead back to life, real rebirth.If the king wanted only the knight's body, he wouldn't be in such pain. It would be easy for him to resurrect the knight as a dead servant.But that was his subordinate, his companion, his unique love...
North of Iceland, the place of execution.On the frozen ocean stood towering copper pillars, and the priests who used to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people were reduced to prisoners. The thin body was bound by black thorns, and the long snow-like hair was flying in the cold wind.
"Brother, congratulations on returning to your original nature. How is it? It feels great to hold the world in your hands, right?" The white figure bound in mid-air did not have the consciousness of a prisoner at all, and his tone was as relaxed as gossip.
"I need your help."
"Help you revive your cute little knight? Sorry, I'm not up to it."
"Your authority is the 'dream', as long as you help me reproduce the scene before Fafnir's death, I can change his fate." The king raised his head with a sincere and sincere tone, "This is the only time I beg you, Give me a hand."
"Please? You...begged me? It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" The prisoner laughed loudly, and then turned to roaring, "You are the supreme emperor of the Dragon Clan, but you are the emperor of the Dragon Clan, but for a humble creature? Others bow their heads? Unforgivable! What kind of thing is Fafnir? The crime is unforgivable, and death is not a pity! Even if that kind of thing is alive, I will smash his corpse into thousands of pieces, and smash his bones into ashes! Hahahaha—"
Amidst that presumptuous and maniacal laughter, the bones of the king exploded.The gust of wind turned into countless wind whips and swept towards the copper pillar, beating the dilapidated body with the momentum of tearing flesh, turning the white figure into bruises in just a few seconds.
The prisoner spat out a mouthful of blood, and his smile was extremely flamboyant: "Brother, do you hate me? If you hate me, kill me! What am I to you? It's just a rag that you throw away when you're done using it! Aren't you good at killing people? Come on! Kill me! Eat me and you will be invincible! Hahahaha—”
"So...that's how I look in your eyes." The red-gold eyes darkened, the king lowered his arms, and the irritable wind element returned to calm.
"This is the last time I'll see you, so I can do it for myself." After leaving these words, the king turned and left, his slender back standing alone, revealing a desperate and tragic atmosphere.
The towering giant tree came into view, half withered and half dense.That is the World Tree Yuktra Hill, which constitutes the entire world with its huge branches, and nourishes the nine kingdoms of the Three Realms with its mother-like bosom.At the same time, it is also a universal wishing machine, as long as you pay a price, any wish can come true.The greater the desire, the higher the price. "Equivalent exchange" is an unchanging iron rule in the world.
"In order to gain strength and wisdom, someone lost an eye, was stabbed by a spear, and hung upside down on a tree for nine days and nine nights." The wind rustled the leaves, as if whispering, "Ned Hogg, you For what purpose did you come?"
"I want to resurrect a person." The king stood under the World Tree, "How much does it cost to resurrect a person?"
"That depends on his value in your heart."
The king nodded, turned his palms into claws, and gouged out his left chest, causing blood to splatter all over in an instant.
"Fafnir, don't you want my heart? I'll give it to you now..." The beating heart was raised high with a clawed hand, and it was thrown vigorously towards the lush crown of the World Tree, "Nedhogg's Dragon King Heart, in exchange for Fafnir's chance to be reborn, fair?"
"Extremely fair." The mother of the world let out a sigh as the staggering figure gradually drifted away.How should a dragon king who has lost his heart face this land of the jungle?
The news of the Black King's weakness quickly spread to every corner, and it was a godsend opportunity for both humans and dragons.Human beings are overjoyed, because they can finally get rid of the slavery of that great god; the dragon race is just around the corner, for this race that believes in power and power, what is more attractive than seizing the throne of the world?But no matter which force dared to act rashly, in the end, the two forces combined, the four great monarchs and the dragon slayer joined hands, and the mighty team stepped into the territory of the black king, approaching the throne.It was an unknown history, and no history book dared to record the process of usurping the throne, not only because of its illegitimacy, but also because of the deep-rooted fear.
"It's so sad that my people are colluding with foreign enemies..." The king stood in front of the black stone throne with a long bone sword in both hands, looking down at the rebel enemy troops gathered at his feet, nothing but contempt.
"No one dares to come forward? Norton, Yermungandr, and this descendant of Beowulf? Whoever dares to challenge, I will accompany you to the end!"
All the people whose names were called took a step back subconsciously, no one had the courage to challenge the black king.That is the supreme and virtuous ancient god in the world. The shadow of his reign still hangs over every living being. No one dares to challenge his majesty alone.Even if he loses his mighty power to rule the world, even if he is too weak to transform into a dragon, no one dares to compete with him, and no one even dares to look him in the eyes under Yanling Emperor's cast.
"Abandoning the pride of being a dragon, bullying the king, collaborating with the enemy and treason, I don't have children like you! How can my life be ruined by your hands? In this world, the only one who can kill the black king is the black king himself! "
Blood spattered three feet from the bone sword, and the king's body fell on the black stone throne. The roar full of outrageous anger echoed in the majestic palace, shaking the hearts of every human and dragon.The Nibelungen, which had lost its master, began to collapse, and the rebel team fled in panic. Human beings cheered for the arrival of the "new era", while dragons celebrated the passing of a generation of great kings.The dragons didn't realize at that time that none of them could become the new black king, and the dragons had no leader. What awaited them was the tragic fate of being killed and forced to sleep, as well as the complete loss of dragon civilization.
At the same time as the Black King fell, the seal of the place of execution was lifted.The ocean, which had been frozen for six centuries, regained its vitality, and snowflakes fell on the young man's eyebrows and hair, which was holy and beautiful covered in silver.It's just that the man who had regained his freedom didn't have a trace of joy on his face. He stared blankly at his palm, clenched it, let it go, and clenched it again until two lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Brother——" the young man dragged his half-human, half-dragon body, and ran madly towards the palace that was being turned into ruins.It was not until the end that he understood the intention of that person, the reason why the person declared that he was dead but never killed him.
In the eyes of the Black King, even if he betrayed him, the White King will always be his blood-linked younger brother.
"On the day I reappear in the world, all rebels will die." The young man looked up to the sky and screamed in grief, the golden light swirled in the dark pupils, as if the ancient dragon was dancing in the depths of the dark clouds, and the thunder and lightning of punishment were about to rain down... …
The majestic and tragic movement of "Twilight of the Gods" hit the eardrums, Lu Mingfei suddenly woke up, and subconsciously grabbed the phone from the pillow: "Hello?"
There was a deafening gunshot from the opposite side, and there was a chaos of crying, screaming, and shouting. After a few seconds, the phone was automatically hung up.The name of "Finger" was displayed on the caller, and Lu Mingfei looked at the call record with no answer, and muttered, "What the hell are you doing?"
He boarded the YAMAL icebreaker last night, and woke up from a heavy and long dream in the morning, because a lost dog in Cuba made an inexplicable phone call.After washing up in a bad mood, Lu Mingfei came to the restaurant with a briefcase.Breakfast is bacon, milk and fried eggs, without his favorite fried dough sticks and tofu nao.At 06:30 in the morning, most tourists were still sleeping at this time, and there was no one in the restaurant. He half-closed his eyes and mechanically chewed on fried eggs, thinking about how to find Chu Zihang.
"Hey captain, why are you out again! Go back quickly, don't scare the guests!"
There was a commotion on the stairs not far away. Lu Mingfei looked around and saw several sailors blocking a Russian man in a white captain's uniform, trying to prevent him from going downstairs.The captain was a burly man, and he seemed to be a trainer. Under his left and right assaults, the situation of the sailors was not optimistic.
Unexpectedly, there would be excitement in the early morning, and Lu Mingfei suddenly felt relieved, and hooked his fingers at the passing waiter: "Hey, buddy, what's going on over there?"
"It's okay, just get used to it! Our captain, he, there is something wrong here." The waiter pointed to his head with a helpless expression.
"If he has a brain problem, he can still be the captain? If he goes on the wrong route and hits an iceberg, won't we become the Titanic!" Lu Mingfei was horrified.
"No, no, you don't worry too much, guest. The technical work on our ship is handled by the first mate, and the first mate's navigation skills are superb, and he will never let you hit an iceberg!" The waiter hurriedly comforted, "And The captain’s madness is intermittent, and it only happens every morning when the sun rises, it’s normal, maybe you’ll still have a chance to hear him tell jokes in the future!”
"Every day at sunrise, people go crazy, your captain is so sick." Lu Mingfei drank the milk in his glass and raised his eyebrows, "Elder Sun molested him?"
"Haha, you are so humorous." The waiter smiled generously, "Actually, we don't know why the captain's head is wrong. Anyway, he was like this when he came back from the boat last time. He must be homesick. The captain said that Fate is hard, he has an ex-wife who became a vegetable in a car accident and is still lying in the hospital. You can see that his hand is clenched on his chest, he must have found a treasure, and he will pay his ex-wife for medical expenses!"
"When was the last time you went out of the boat?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Three months ago, we also took this route. On Christmas Eve, we saw the aurora and mirage..."
Then the waiter started to talk about how beautiful the "God's Skirt" is and how luxurious their cruise ship is, but Lu Mingfei didn't listen to it, and his eyes kept falling on the captain.Now the crazy Russian man broke through the wall of sailors and was rushing to a couple's dining table by the window.
"Give it to XXX!" The captain held his right hand in front of his chest, grabbed the girl's hand with his left, and shouted indistinct words.
The girl screamed, and the sailors rushed to pull the captain away, apologizing to the girl and his boyfriend.After the lovers complained a few words, the boy took the girl and left in disappointment.
"Give it to XXX!" The captain rushed to another table, shouting while running, "Give it to XXX! RicardoM.Lu!"
Lu Mingfei was shocked suddenly, he suddenly understood. The sentence "Give it to XXX" actually contains a Chinese name. The pronunciation of the Russian captain is not standard, so it is so awkward to pronounce it.The complete sentence should be like this: Give it to Lu Mingfei, RicardoM.Lu!
In the next second, Lu Mingfei rushed to the captain, grabbed his collar and shook violently: "You just said to hand it over to Lu Mingfei, right?"
"Leave it to Lu Mingfei! RicardoM.Lu!" The captain repeated this sentence nervously, his eyes out of focus.
"I am Lu Mingfei! What do you want to give me?" Lu Mingfei shook his shoulders and stared nervously into his eyes.
"Lu Mingfei, give it to... Lu Mingfei."
The captain stared straight ahead, grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand, and spread out the right fist tightly clenched in front of his chest, and a pure gold ring inlaid with a ruby fell into his hand.Under the morning light, the pigeon blood ruby reflects the beautiful six-shot starlight, and a line of familiar writing is impressively engraved on the inside of the ring: Myfirst, myonly, RicardoM.Lu
Anyone, as long as they have existed in this world, will leave countless imprints, which cannot be easily modified.
"Thank you, Captain." Lu Mingfei let go of the man's shoulder, put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and gently kissed the gem on it, "Brother, I finally found you."
The author has something to say: Brother will be back in the next chapter, everyone can put their hearts into their stomachs.Tired body and heart tired vomiting blood, I really worry about my future life.
