1.276 You said you are the bark of the world again
Well of Urd.
When Wu Chen surfaced again, the fountain pool had been surrounded by three circles inside and three outside.
"Sir." The guard guarding the fountain pool hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him up: "What are you looking for?"
"A ship." Wu Chen gasped and replied.
"Your Rainbow Express sank into... the pool?" The guard's expression was as incredible as his tone.
"It's not my ship, but..." Wu Chen suddenly got excited: "Asa Divine Realm!"
The sparks of thought that bloomed in a brave man's mind were always different from those of civilians. Although the guards didn't know what Lord Ximu was thinking, they still watched him leave respectfully. A large group of Asgardians were left talking around the fountain. Of course.
The anecdotes behind these are also one of the legends about brave men that are talked about.
For example, why did the Lord go to the bottom of the fountain to find a sunken ship?
Wu Chen, who was all wet, ran into the Furnace Temple in a hurry: "Madam, madam."
"Sir?" The sorceress seemed to have just woken up.
"Madam, may I ask if the World Tree really 'existed'?"
"Of course." The sorceress' eyes were firm.
"Why did he 'disappear' later?" Wu Chen needed to know the details.
"After the Rainbow Bridge was built, the World Tree gradually disappeared from people's eyes." The sorceress seemed to know the obscure history of Asgard.
"How do you know?" Wu Chen hurriedly explained: "I mean, how can you still remember things that all Asgardians seem to have forgotten?"
"Because I am not an Asgardian, so that little 'amnesia magic' has no effect on me." The sorceress replied softly.
"You are..." Wu Chen carefully verified. This was also a question he had been asking for many days. Even as a fire-proof woman, your ability is too strong, isn't it? I have already begun to doubt it!
"Bestla, the daughter of the frost giant Bolthorn." The sorceress gently brushed a strand of hair in front of her forehead and smiled at Wu Chen: "In the giant language, the meaning of Bestla is
It’s the ‘bark of the (world) tree’.”
"So, do you still remember who built the Rainbow Bridge?" The Lord is really a hindsight. You have been in Asgard for so long, and you don't even know who "Bestra" is?
"He is also a 'planeswalker' like you." The sorceress's eyes were full of meaning.
"Do you know his name?" Wu Chen felt terrified in his heart.
"It's a pity that he didn't want to say it." The sorceress laughed softly: "So at that time we all respectfully called him: 'The Wizard'. Regarding 'The Wizard', there is an ancient Asgardian legend:
A long time ago, there was a pair of lovers who were far apart in the inner and outer planes and could not meet each other. They asked "that wizard" to build a bridge that could connect each other across the planes. Although the cost was their lives, their souls were forever united in
Together, it was integrated into the Prismatic Bridge of Asbru, which is now the Rainbow Bridge.”
"So, the wizard's name is Asbru?" This is a background plot that Wu Chen doesn't know.
"It's not certain, sir." The sorceress told Wu Chen her own conjecture: "I guess, 'that wizard' is the Supreme Mage - Agamotto, the All-Seeing One."
"Eye Of Agamotto!" Wu Chen suddenly woke up.
The all-seeing Agamotto is the descendant of the ancient god Ohit. He was born about 1 million years ago. He is the caster of the Eye of Agamotto and the first person to possess the Time Stone. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it will be
The Eye of Gomotto is set as a container for the Time Stone, and is controlled successively by the two Sorcerers Supreme, Doctor Strange and the Ancient One!
Moreover, the Warlock's Eye, which was engraved by Wu Chen on the β-alloy frame of Death Lady Adaman using a secret method, is also said to be closely related to the all-seeing Agamotto. Later, the Warlock's Eye was stored in Odin's treasury.
middle.
Looking at the sorceress, Wu Chen talked about a very similar history in the plot world of "The Elder Scrolls": "A long time ago, a group of elves who were keen on adventure and forging migrated from unknown overseas lands to the Empire of Morrowind.
Province. This group of elves is what the Nords call the 'Dwemer', and the giants of Tamriel call them the 'dwarves'.
After arriving in Morrowind, the Dwemer dwarves, who love invention and creation, benefited from the inexhaustible rich resources under the Red Mountain, and their national power became strong. Their underground civilization spans the entire continent, with Dwemer laboratories and spectacular underground
Projects are spread all over the provinces of Skyrim. The Dwemer are not like other humans and elves who fight to the death for their respective beliefs or territorial disputes. They focus on constantly digging into the interior of the planet, pursuing the truth of the world and exploring the origin of things.
They first discovered that the essence of the earth bone Ehlnofy was the corpse of the dead Aedra. The so-called "Eight Holy Spirits" were actually the reflections of the corpses of eight powerful Aedra (good gods). So
After learning the truth, the Dwemer began to laugh at the alien gods. The devout belief of the aliens in the gods seemed to the Dwemer to be extremely pedantic. The Dwemer armed themselves with logic and rationality, had a highly developed industrial system, and even invented a flight engine.
.In addition to the hovering dragons in the ancient sky of Tamriel, there are also the brass ships of the Dwemer. All this makes the Dwemer extremely proud, and they even begin to think that technology and rationality can rival the gods."
After a slight pause, Wu Chen continued: "Following a great Dwemer craftsman, he discovered the 'Heart of the Creation God' buried deep underground in the Red Mountain, which finally pushed the arrogance of the Dwemer people to the top. They defied authority.
, mocking the gods' inner troubles, gave the genius master tone constructor Kagrenac, the governor of the Dwemer Engineering, a bold idea: to create gods. With the heart of the creation god as the core, use brass
Created a super giant, Anumidium, and led the dwarves to become gods."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The brass giant Anumidian is very similar to the cosmic god group." The sorceress smiled and asked: "What happened next?"
"Although the Brass Giant Anumidian was eventually destroyed, the Dwemer used the fragments of the Brass Giant to forge the new Brass Giant Akulakhan. Or called the 'Brass God'
God)', 'Brass Tower', 'Walk-Brass'. The 'god-making movements' again and again made the dwarves pay a heavy price. The last Brass Tower
In this incident, the entire dwarves turned into dust. Legend has it that their souls turned into the 'divine skin' of the Brass Tower and were permanently sealed in the Brass Tower."
"This is the price a mortal pays for trying to steal divine power." The sorceress looked at Wu Chen and suddenly smiled slyly: "However, my lord, what does this have to do with Asgard?"
"You just said that you are the bark of the World Tree..." Wu Chen was also stunned. Wasn't what I said explicit enough?
Aren’t the Asgardians also trying their best to mythologize their capital city? Aren’t you using “mass amnesia” on all Asgardians to completely dilute the attributes of technology from the source, highlight the resonance of myths, and clothe the World Tree?
Put on a layer of divine skin? Use peak technology to overlook the nine realms and look up to the gods. This is the same mistake the Dwemer dwarves made.
"I think the biggest problem of the Dwemer dwarves is that the Brass Giant Anumidian does not have enough divine power. Therefore, the Dwemer clan sacrificed and even offered firewood to them, but they failed to awaken the Brass Giant." The sorceress said completely.
Understand Wu Chen's worries: "Sir, please rest assured, the 'World Tree' is always there, and the 'Fire of the Furnace' is still strong. There is no need for me or someone from Asgard to use my body as a salary to fill the divinity."
deficit."
"Okay, ma'am." After confirming that the sorceress was not hiding anything, Wu Chen finally felt at ease.
When walking out of the Furnace Temple, the White Queen asked softly: "Does the master know who she is?"
"Well, she said her name is...Bestra? She is the daughter of the frost giant Borsun, and her name means bark." Wu Chen's memory was correct. However, from beginning to end, this was not his concern.
focus.
"My master, what you said is correct. Just like the Brass God, the Brass Tower, and the Brass Road, they all refer to the Brass Giant. She also has a name that is more widely known to outsiders." The White Queen said with a full face.
Tender words convey deep meaning.
"What is it?" Wu Chen also asked casually.
"Queen of Asgard, wife of King Bor." The White Queen used the gentlest words and burst out like a thunderbolt.
