Fingel covered his heart, turned around and said seriously: "I prove that the texture of death is definitely the same. The moment that penetrates my heart is very real. It hurts all the time!"
Chu Zihang looked down at the floor and fell into deep thought.
What is the significance of the scabbard?
If all the previous assumptions are true and Merlin is still trying to find the whereabouts of the holy sword after replacing Odin and becoming a god, then it proves that there is a reason why this sword must be obtained.
According to his junior brother, the holy sword and the gold ring were both gifts from Morgan.
Odin received the gold ring, and since then he has remained youthful and immortal, embarking on the road to becoming a god.
King Arthur took over the Holy Sword and created the flourishing age of the Round Table.
If the golden ring is the source of Kungunir's power, then is it possible that the power represented by the holy sword can restrain the former?
That’s why Merlin worked so hard to guide King Arthur to obtain the Holy Sword in preparation for entering Avalon and becoming an enemy of Odin?
And after replacing Odin and becoming the new "Odin", he will certainly not let the power that threatens him spread out.
Judging from this conclusion, it seems that Merlin did not get what he wanted. He got the Holy Sword from King Arthur. No... what he coveted was probably not the Holy Sword, but the scabbard!
He had specifically asked King Arthur to keep the scabbard, but the scabbard was still "accidentally" lost. Is this what he did?
But if this is the case, then there seems to be no need for him to specifically warn King Arthur about the value of the scabbard, which would make it more difficult to steal it.
Chu Zihang frowned, some of the logic didn't make sense, but if you put aside those seemingly conflicting issues and only take the core part, then the logical chain here will be simple and clear.
"The significance of the scabbard may be to restrain Kungunir's ability." Chu Zihang whispered to the two people beside him.
"Hey, senior brother, do you also think that the existence of the scabbard and Kungunir are in conflict with each other?" Xia Mi blinked, with a look of surprise on his face.
"The emotional scabbard is the protagonist, and the sword body is just a make-up?" Fingel's eyes widened, "Junior brother, how did you come to this conclusion?"
Chu Zihang told his guess. After hearing this, Fingel nodded repeatedly and said happily: "As expected of a top student, I am so touched to have someone like you in the team, senior brother!"
Xia Mi pondered for a while and said: "Some places don't make sense, but we are inferring based on the legend. Some details in the legend may not be true, so there is no need to delve too deeply into the details. The main parts just make sense."
Chu Zihang nodded and said, "Do you have any other ideas? If not, then just answer like this."
"What if I'm wrong?" Fingel suddenly asked.
"Cold salad!" Xia Mi said unhappily, "Senior brother, can't you think of something good? What if you want us to be right!"
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Everything has a price. We don't have much information to reason at the moment." Chu Zihang paused and did not continue.
In fact, the current situation is that they are unable to help themselves. They have no ability to refuse the other party's request, and there is nothing they can do even if the other party cheats on them.
He raised his head and said to the hall: "Our answer is that the purpose of the scabbard is to restrain Kungunir."
"Hmph, this answer is really cunning. Forget it, just let it pass. After all, you can think of this, which is pretty good."
The woman's laughter echoed in the hall.
"Then the second question..."
"Hey, hey, wait, where's the promised gift?" Fingel glared and yelled, "Why are you bringing someone here to fool people!"
"Hey, didn't I tell you? This is a series of tasks. Rewards will be given only after completing the entire set of tasks in the series. Have you never played the game?"
"What you said was obviously to add an additional question. If you answer it correctly, you will be given a gift!"
"Is that so?" The woman's voice seemed to be lost in memories, and then she seriously corrected her, "Then you must have heard wrong!"
Fingel covered his face, is this guy really a god? Even if he is cheating, he still doesn't care!
Chu Zihang's expression remained unchanged, but doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
Is it his imagination?
He felt that this woman didn't seem to be playing with them, but rather seemed unwilling or awkward.
It was as if she was not willing to give that thing to them, but was forced to do so for some reason. In order to balance her own heart, she deliberately made things difficult for them in the middle...
No, how could someone who has lived close to the gods for thousands of years act like a little girl?
He was overthinking it.
"Since it is a series of tasks, there will be more or less basic rewards after each task is completed, right?" Chu Zihang said calmly.
"Well, basic reward, what do you want?"
"An answer. If you ask us a question, please answer us a question accordingly."
"This game is getting more and more interesting, I promise you."
"So is it my turn to ask questions now?"
"Ask, let me see what kind of questions you can ask." The lazy voice was full of expectation, as if he had found an interesting toy.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi, who smiled and gave him a cheering gesture.
"Don't look at me. Since this is the opportunity you fought for, junior brother, then I'll leave it to you." Fingel waved his hand.
"I've already thought about it." Chu Zihang raised his head and said, "I want to know the relationship between Merlin and Odin."
"They are brothers. Next is the second question. Since you are so curious about the relationship between Merlin and Odin, you might as well guess Merlin's true identity."
The concise answer shocked the three of them. Chu Zihang and Xia Mi thought of many answers, but they never thought that the two of them would be brothers!
Odin's brother?
"Is it... Loki from Nordic mythology?" Chu Zihang suppressed the uncertainty in his heart.
"Correct answer, now it's your turn to ask." A cheerful voice sounded, and this woman seemed to find unspeakable fun in this game of asking and answering.
"Merlin...has he replaced Odin?"
"Yes. Next is the third one..."
"Wait, can't you be more detailed?"
"That depends on your questioning skills. Come on, young hybrid, try to get more secrets from me. The third question is, by what means do you think Merlin replaced Odin?"
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed. The difficulty of this question far exceeded the previous sum total. The most important thing was that they had no legend to refer to.
"Well, let me give you a hint. Odin's death is exactly the same as that of the Black King."
The woman said casually and suddenly laughed. In fact, she had always maintained a chuckle, but at this moment she was smiling so heartily that even without seeing her in person, Chu Zihang and the other three could think of "
With the word "belly laugh", this woman seemed to be gloating about her misfortune.
But is she gloating over the death of the Black King or Odin's death?
Chu Zihang and Fingel looked at each other in surprise.
In the "historical facts" of the Secret Party, the Black King died at the hands of humans, and his throne was overthrown by humans.
As for the deeper things, they have long been covered up, leaving only one sentence - time has passed, and those secrets have been buried in the ruins of history. Perhaps only gods and those who have experienced it are still aware of the existence of those dark years.
Such irresponsible words are unclear and leave everything to time.
In sharp contrast to Chu Zihang and the other two, it was Xia Mi who stood at the back of the three.
Her face was pale and her eyes were uncontrollably panicked, as if she had returned to the darkest and bloodiest era.
She lowered her head in confusion, and the bright lights reflected on the marble floor poured into her dark eyes in confusion. Her eyes were white, and the white background was intertwined with rich blood-black.
The fear and fate that she and her brother had been avoiding emerged from the deepest place again, invading the bone marrow and taking root in the soul.
Black King Nidhogg, he is the most powerful and supreme existence. No one can advance his awakening, and no one can delay it!
Even if they combined all their forces to overthrow the emperor on the throne, they could not achieve relief as they wished. Not only did they live in panic under the shadow of the prediction of the Black King's eventual return, but they also had to face suicidal attacks by the Black King's ministers, and The betrayal of a former ally.
Just as Horus, the priest who was in charge of the dragon code, said - betrayers will eventually be betrayed, and all despicable things will end in despicable ways.
The overwhelming fear swept over me again.
Xia Mi felt that his heart was slowly sinking into the bottom of a dark lake.
Morgan...are you specifically reminding yourself?
No……
It’s different!
It’s different from before!
An unspeakable courage suddenly welled up in her heart. She no longer allowed herself to fall into deeper darkness, but swam hard to the surface of the lake, reaching out to grab the ray of skylight.
They are no longer the same as before!
There is an existence older than the Black King standing behind them!
That man may have lost most of his power, but he can still dominate everyone. If the Black King's return comes from fate, then his return must also be a choice of fate!
The one who can kill the Black King is not only the Black King himself, but also the supreme being that once hovered in the sky. That is the true source of the ancient history of the Dragon Clan!
"It's betrayal." A clear voice echoed in the hall. Xia Mi raised his head, took a deep breath, and gave his answer.
Chu Zihang and Fingel woke up from their thoughts and looked at Xia Mi behind them in surprise.
Chu Zihang's heart suddenly sank. There was an extraordinary calmness on Xia Mi's beautiful face. That calmness seemed to have accumulated over countless years, but it made him feel a strange sense of alienation. The distance between them seemed to suddenly widen. Longer.
It's like a picture of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with heavy rain. Under the lingering rain curtain, he is standing outside the picture, and the girl is standing in the picture. They are clearly within reach, but they are separated by two worlds.
"correct answer!"
The sound of excitement came from the speakers in the hall.
"Xiaomi-chan is awesome. You can guess all these things, so let Xiaoxiao ask me questions this time."
There seemed to be a trace of undetectable joking hidden in the smiling voice.
Xia Mi smiled and winked at Chu Zihang, signaling him to speak quickly.
Chu Zihang calmed down and whispered: "Betrayal... I understand. Odin and Merlin are brothers. Merlin's true identity is Loki, the god of fraud in Norse mythology. Loki tried his best to enter Avalon.
, but he did not go to replace Odin at the beginning, he went in the name of saving his brother, and Odin, who was imprisoned in Avalon, mistakenly believed in his younger brother. Just imagine, Odin and
What is the relationship between Morgan and Morgan? He got supreme power from Morgan. This was supposed to be a gift of renewal, but Morgan used it to imprison him in Avalon. No matter how heavy the kindness is, it will be followed by endless
Imprisonment slowly fades, and will be replaced by hatred! They are hostile! Loki most likely took advantage of this hatred, betrayed Odin at the most critical moment, and took away the golden ring representing power and power from him!
"
Fingel said seriously: "Then there must be a premise here. Morgan's power declined with the golden ring given away. She made Odin a success, but she didn't have enough means to control him. According to what you said, Morgan plotted against Merlin.
, trapping him somewhere in the world is probably for this reason. It’s not that Merlin is strong, but that she has become weaker!”
The three of them looked up at the same time.
If it is true as they think, then this existence may not be as powerful as they think!
"We want to know why you sent the Holy Sword to King Arthur."
Chu Zihang asked in a deep voice.
This is the last piece of the puzzle. As long as it is put together, the relationship between King Arthur, Merlin (Loki), Morgan and Odin will be completely unfolded in front of them!
silence.
In the oppressive silence, a long sigh that seemed to come from ancient times sounded.
"No wonder he chose you. You can be so close to the truth with such fragmented clues. It really shouldn't be underestimated." After talking to himself, Knownes changed the subject, "You ask me why I chose young Arthur? Of course it is.
Because he was the one I chose, but unfortunately, he chose the sword between the sword and the scabbard and failed to pass my final test."
Chu Zihang suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "The person who took away the scabbard was not Merlin, it was you!"
"Of course it's me. Although I didn't notice Loki at the time, I've lived for so long and I still have basic vigilance. I can't let the last trump card fall into the wrong hands. So..."
The familiar voice no longer came from the speakers in the building, but from behind them!
"Young half-breed, did you lose this golden scabbard? Or this silver scabbard? Or this scabbard that is neither gold nor silver?"
They suddenly turned around, and saw an indescribable woman standing behind them with a sweet smile, holding a scabbard in her hand.
One moment she was as outstanding as Zhuo Qinglian, and the next moment she was wild and charming. Her temperament was ever-changing like a witch, giving people a completely different sense of surprise at every moment. Everyone can
Find an image of admiration in her.
"this……"
Fingel opened his eyes wide and looked at the woman in white dress in disbelief. Why is this woman so similar to Eva?!
The moment Chu Zihang saw Morgan, he thought he saw Xia Mi's twin sister.
Xia Mi was stunned on the spot. In her eyes, Morgan was a woman with mature figure and gentle temperament.
She has seen this woman!
On top of the alliance that overthrew the Black King, she had made an immortal alliance with them!
