Chapter 493: Children, you can’t eat
Lu Yao saw it very clearly.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Nibelungen family are obvious.
Take Bernie, who was adopted by Zicard.
…
[Nibelungen LV13] Bernie
HP: 257/257Mana : 52/52Damage : 4Defense : 2Speed : 8 [Ice Element Mastery]
【Frost Poison】
Carries a deadly poison produced by the ice element; the lower the temperature, the stronger the toxicity.
【Growth period】
It is in the growth stage and can absorb ice elements to complete rapid evolution.
【The Road to Evolution】
There will be fusion among the same kind, with the strongest individual as the core, which will then gain greater expansion and living space.
…
Bernie's juvenile body is already in the [growth stage], and when he was an infant and a child it was in the [childhood stage]. This is a special growth system belonging to the Land of Mist.
Going one step further, it becomes a mature giant.
As described in the committee database, Nibelungen refers to the special human race living here, and is also another name for Niflheim.
To understand the structural form of the Land of Mist, we must trace it back to its source.
"The Land of Mist is part of the World Tree Yggdrasil, one of the nine worlds on the World Tree, and one of the three major roots of the World Tree."
"The poisonous dragon Nidhogg gnawed at the root of the tree, absorbing the poison of the giants from the inexhaustible spring Hvergelmir. When it finally bit through, the world tree began to wither and Ragnarok began. The coming of Ragnarok also announced the disintegration and fragmentation of the Norse mythology lineage."
This is a familiar story from Norse mythology, with a few important details added.
Lu Yao had a direct understanding of the toxicity of the Inexhaustible Spring. Even the famous poisonous dragon was attracted by it, which showed that the Ice Spring toxin was indeed the top poison in the world.
Next is the Norse mythology lineage.
After possessing the divine principles, Lu Yao vaguely felt that the mythological systems constructed by humans in different regions seemed to have the shadow of divine principles and woven myths behind them.
The committee's database confirmed his suspicions.
The Norse mythology genealogy is a huge system jointly created by many ancient Nordic pioneers.
This mythological genealogy not only includes the conventional [creation] and [miracles], but also a clear [world structure], [mythical creatures], and even [destruction].
The entire mythological system is very complete from beginning to end.
This is also one of the tree-like civilizations created by humans in the real universe in the virtual universe.
What is little known is that after the Norse mythology entered the apocalyptic stage, the Norse gods in this mythology did not disappear. They just broke away from the world tree system constructed in the past and returned to independent individuals.
As those familiar gods disappeared, their titles and powers still remained, and most of them were inherited by later generations.
[Odin, the King of Gods], [Thor, the God of Thunder], [Loki, the God of Trickery]... Their stories and civilization scrolls are still being performed and written in secret.
Lu Yao looked back at his [Tree of Sylvanus]. Compared to the huge world tree, what he had was just an underdeveloped sapling.
Let it grow slowly.
The Country of Mist was originally one of the nine worlds on the World Tree, so strictly speaking, it is a special small world. It was just severely damaged during the Ragnarok event. Now it is bordered and merged with Lu Yao and Yunzhong Temple.
According to the positioning of the nine worlds, the Land of Mist is the destination of the dying patients, and the toxins condensed by the disease will be solidified and frozen by glaciers in this world.
In order to prevent these deadly poisons from spreading and leaking out, the original holders created the Nibelungen clan.
They are containers for these toxins, and the blue blood flowing in the body is highly concentrated toxins.
These containers will eventually fuse with each other to form a more stable and easier to use advanced body - the Giant of the Mist Country.
Committee records show that two types of giants appeared in the Land of Mist.
One is the frost giant.
This type of giant uses ice as its main body structure and can carry a large amount of toxins. They can further compress and transform the toxins into a powerful force that reacts with the ice element - just like some kind of fuel.
The second is the life giant Ymir.
In the Norse mythology, Ymir is the original giant and the first giant born in the Kingdom of Mist. However, unlike later giants, he was born from the interaction between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Mist.
Ymir split into other giants from her body, and was later killed by Odin, the king of the gods. After her death, Ymir's body evolved into elves and dwarves.
Many scholars are also puzzled by this.
"Ymir was born from an inexhaustible spring of deadly poison, but she possessed a surging and magnificent vitality. Not only could she give birth to giants, but her corpses could also further evolve life, which was incompatible with the cold and deadly poison shown by the Land of Mist. Unfortunately, after Ymir's death, no more living giants were born. After Ragnarok, the divine principles of the World Tree collapsed, and it was no longer possible to restore the genealogy. Any further speculation and judgment would only be limited to thought experiments."
Lu Yao finally understood why no one wanted the Mist Country at the exchange.
It is a component of the World Tree, and its value lies in forming a linkage with other parts to produce a chemical reaction, just like the interaction between the Mist Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom produced Ymir.
The Land of Mist itself is a poisonous jar. Its individual abilities and characteristics are of little value, but due to its reputation, its premium is very high.
In present-day Niflheim, only one light blue frost giant has been born.
…
[Frost Giant LV49] Baras HP: 4882/4882 Mana: 891/891 Damage: 82 Defense: 50 Speed: 14 [Ice Element Secret LV18]
【Frost Poison LV18】
【Maturity】
In its mature stage, it can transform other elements into ice elements.
【Evolution Road LV2】
Can further grow by devouring the Nibelungen.
【Giant of the Land of Mist】
A tribe of giants that originated from the Land of Mist.
…
Seeing the Frost Giant's abilities, Lu Yao completed the last piece of the puzzle in his mind.
The Land of Mist is indeed a world box that stores and collects toxins. However, these toxins with extremely high lethality rates are a special kind of power and raw material.
The dormant Nibelung is an inexhaustible spring that collects and processes toxins and further stimulates the evolution of life.
The source of giants is the many Nibelung children, who will merge with each other to form giants.
Poison is a destructive and corrosive force, but it is also a driving force for change.
The Inexhaustible Spring was like an artificial womb. It made the toxins flow and merge, making them full of activity, and on this basis, the Nibelung clan was condensed and nurtured.
The Yao clan was able to break through the bottleneck and invent the [Beautiful Potion] and [Spirit Pills]. The core of the water was the Inexhaustible Spring, which contained a power that could breed and combine various elements.
But even if you know these secrets, the usage of the Mist Country itself is very demanding and has a very high threshold, so it is normal that no one is interested.
Just as Lu Yao was exploring the Kingdom of Mist, the simulator gave a prompt.
[Bernie invented: rotating lens]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Bernie invented: Wind Collector Crystal Phase]
Lu Yao clicked it and took a look.
It turned out to be a focus lens and a portable camera.
Comrade Zicard is an old man who is good at training young people.
At this time, the young boy Bernie was shouting in the Land of Mist.
"I won't eat you, and you don't have to be eaten by the giants!"
"There is a bigger world outside the Kingdom of Mist. There are cities of the Yao people, all kinds of people, and many incredible things. If you want, go out of here and take a look over there!"
The children of the Nibelung all had question marks and exclamation marks on their heads.
"Outside... Is there ice outside?"
"I dare not..."
"I don't want to be eaten. I want to get out of here."
“…Bernie’s shoes are so nice.”
"The giant is coming, is the giant coming? I feel it, I feel it!"
…
The children had different ideas, but the Frost Giant was indeed not far away.
A drooling expression appeared above the blue giant's head.
However, it didn't dare to move a step.
Because the Blood Knight Navid stood right before it, like an insurmountable mountain.
"Go away, kid, you can't eat it."
“…”
The frost giant hung his head and turned away dejectedly.
A new message appears on the screen.
——A believer has developed wisdom. Does he need to be transformed into a prophet?
There was a glimmer of light beneath Bernie's feet.
Lu Yao nodded yes.
As he became a prophet, the first Nibelungen to walk out of the country of fog also had his own portrait.
The portrait shows a silver-haired boy holding a wind collector crystal, carrying a heavy bag, with bright eyes. He follows behind a tall figure in front of him, who is wearing a long robe, with only a skull exposed.
Written below.
——It’s okay to not want to grow up.
Bernie knelt down immediately after sensing it: "Thank you for the gift from Lord Yao! Thank you for your kindness! Great Lord Yao!"
Then he happily announced the good news to Zikade beside him: "Teacher, I am a prophet!"
A big laugh also appeared on the skeleton man's head.
…
This is displayed on the screen.
【Apostle Navid prays to you. 】
Blood Knight?
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
This is a rare guest. This is the first time that the Blood Knight has actively requested a conversation. Usually he is taciturn and does whatever Lu Yao tells him to do.
Lu Yao clicked on the entry.
The scene jumped to the inexhaustible spring.
The Blood Knight knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Yaoshen, the giant wants to leave the Kingdom of Mist. It wants to go out and take a look."
It turned out that the Frost Giant always coveted the children of the Nibelungen, but after being taught a lesson by the Blood Knights several times, it became much more obedient, but it was very depressed in the Land of Mist. It had to restrain its instinct to eat children, and the ice element was very bland for it to absorb, so its growth fell into a long-term stagnation.
Lu Yao thought it was great.
After all, he is an adult giant now, and it’s time for him to go out and see the world.
Young people always have a desire to go far away, and they will feel depressed if they stay in their hometown.
The pixel people in the Sand City have been living in comfort for many years, so let the Frost Giants go out to strengthen the Sand City superheroes, or be strengthened by them, it's no loss anyway.
Thanks: I will only support you with 500 Qidian coins little by little.
