Aircraft, first class cabin.

A gray-haired professor noticed the man in the next cabin. At first glance, he could not tell the actual age because he had not taken care of for a long time. However, if he judged it from the details of no wrinkles and old spots, he was about 20 to 30 or 40 years old...

What attracted the professor was not the man wearing simple sloppy work pants and a plaid shirt that would become the symbol of a science and engineering man in the future, but a book he held—

The book looks black cover, and I don’t know what material it is. An exquisite tree is embossed on the cover. The tree is quite lush, but the huge roots under the ground are actually wrapped around countless winding snakes. The huge vitality of the tree seems to be absorbed by these snake groups, so that half of the leaves are rotting and declining.

It is obviously just a relief on the cover, but at first glance, it gives people a magnificent and sacred feeling.

The professor is a historian, and he has not seen such exquisite reliefs before, but when such reliefs can only serve as covers of a book and are held in his hands so carelessly...

The professor watched the man reach out and grabbed a few chips and stuffed them into his mouth. The next second, the hand that had just grabbed the chips was still carrying a little powder, tomato sauce and saliva residue, so he placed it directly on the exquisite book...

In an instant, the professor's fist became hard.

So angry!

Even if such artwork is not an antique with historical collection value, it cannot be ruined like this!

But then the stronger curiosity overshadowed the professor's idea of ​​teaching this man a lesson... It was definitely not because of the man's strong body as brown as a bear, but he was just a thin old man!

The professor's curiosity is aimed at the content of the book held by a man. The semi-decaying trees and winding snakes give people a religious feeling. As a professor who has a deep understanding of various myths, legends and history, he is naturally very curious about the content in the book... Such exquisite reliefs can only be used as a cover, so what will the content in it look like?

In the end, he couldn't help but lean over: "Hey?"

"Hmm?" The man grabbed another handful of fries and looked at the professor.

"Hello sir, I am a history professor and I am very interested in the book you have..." The professor was about to say something.

"Oh...this is a myth." Finger said oh and showed it to him.

The professor's next words were blocked in his throat because he saw the page displayed by Finger... A one-eyed man in full armor sat on an eight-legged horse, holding a twisted but streamlined spear, bathed in thunder and lightning all around him, throwing spear towards the black dragon!

This could have become an epic picture, religion, myth, belief, and war...if this was not a cartoon with children's style.

The professor fell into silence as he looked at the children's Q-print painting style.

What kind of crazy person does this kind of comic in such a cover? Don’t you really think it doesn’t work? Don’t you really think it doesn’t work at all?”

But who is the old professor? As one of the most skilled skills of Old Toutiao, there is naturally a way to not make him too embarrassed... So he did not show any shock or contempt, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. It seems that you are also interested in these myths?"

"Of course." Finger nodded seriously, with a smile on his face. "I'm not ordinary interested in killing them."

"...what?" The old professor felt that he might have heard it wrong, but the man in front of him who originally gave people a decadent and lazy feeling suddenly seemed to have changed. I don't know if it was a dazzled or something, but from that eye, the old professor seemed to see a trace of light like molten gold.

It should be an illusion... sunlight or something, how can human eyes shine?

"Hahaha, just kidding, what a great thing it would be to be able to see these mythical characters in the legend. Professor, right? That would definitely be the biggest discovery in human history!"

Finger's feeling of being completely different only lasted for a moment and then changed back to his original appearance, distracting the topic without a trace.

He was about to see revenge, and even if it was not completely right, it made Finger unable to control his emotions.

Fortunately, in the past few years, he has learned how to hide his emotions... although he has paid the corresponding price.

...

"Senior brother, I miss you so much!"

Finger, wearing the clothes that remained unchanged for thousands of years, ran to Mo Qiuran with excitement on his face and spread his arms.

"Thank you, senior. I can understand your excitement very much, but remember to restrain yourself. After all, I don't expect to be misunderstood by someone at that time, and then upload it to the Night Watch Forum to make money... By the way, senior, you shouldn't have such plans, right?"

Mo Qiuran vaded skillfully, and when he was habitually complaining, he suddenly stared at Finger with suspicious eyes.

"Ah? Hahaha... Of course not! How could such a thing happen!" Finger laughed and denied it.

"If this happens, it will be even more like..." Mo Qiuran thought.

"Ahem... for this, this is what you want in junior brother!" Finger quickly changed the subject, took out a book with a thick cover and a relief of the semi-decayed world tree from his backpack and handed it to Mo Qiuran.

"Isn't this the library's collection? The school will take out this kind of thing directly for you?" Mo Qiuran looked at Finger with a strange look, "It seems that you are quite powerful, senior!"

"That's right, senior, I'm the A-level. The old friends of the past are now blooming everywhere. You can ask them for help if you want to do anything!" Finger smiled proudly with his hands on his hips.

"But this book was brought out not because of that, but because it was adapted by some small things..." Finger said the next second.

Mo Qiuran: “…”

Inexplicably, I had a bad premonition.

According to Finger's personality, it is necessary to say this...

Mo Qiuran chose to open the book and read it directly.

So, by coincidence, the scene that the professor on the plane saw before appeared in front of Mo Qiuran.

However, the completely different reaction from the professor was that Mo Qiuran's eyes lit up.

"It's amazing!"

"I didn't expect that senior, you are so smart. It seems that I really underestimated you before!" Mo Qiuran said.

"Hahaha, that's it!" Finger continued to laugh with his hips on his hips.

...

“This is what we know right now.”

Finger used a small wooden stick to point the pile of paper on the ground, with various cartoon patterns drawn on it.

The covers that were used to wrap the cartoon patterns were already put aside. According to what Finger said, he had to take them back after he brought them out. After all, they were antiques. If they were lost, they would probably have to work for the school again, given his debts.

As for Mo Qiuran asked him why he brought this thing out instead of directly bringing the comic version of the information... Finger gave the explanation - if this is not the case, how can I reflect the hard work I have put in to obtain this information? You must distinguish right from wrong. Remember to give me a little more when giving me a reward!

"I originally thought that you have done this with such great efforts, and I really planned to do this, but now that you have said it yourself, if I give you another reward, wouldn't I become a sucker? It's not right!" Mo Qiuran nodded, "It's better to follow the original share!"

"Senior brother! Do you have the heart to be your senior? I found a painter overnight to help me adapt and draw the materials and then worked hard to bring out the things, so I ended up with no more rewards??" Finger's tone was extremely miserable, which was so heartbreaking.

Unfortunately, Mo Qiuran is definitely not that kind of person. He just grinned and said, "Okay, senior, we are all old foxes for thousands of years, so don't play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here, just talk about the serious business! If the information you brought is useful enough, we can continue to talk about the reward share!"

"Okay... In order to get a higher degree, I can only dig out all my knowledge again!" Finger rubbed his hands.

"This excavation is really vivid." Mo Qiuran looked at Finger's head.

"Hey, don't look at me with that look. Senior, as a former A-level knowledge, I remember very firmly all the knowledge I have in my past!" Finger scratched his head and said, "Okay, let's start! First of all, Senior Brother Chu must have been a ghost at that time."

As soon as this said, Chu Zihang, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly. There were three of them in the room just now, but he didn't say anything but looked at the cartoon pages to find some useful information.

But what does this mean?

"What does it mean to be a hell?" Mo Qiuran asked a question for Chu Zihang.

"It's just a literal hell... According to my speculation, there should be all dead people in that place!"

"It was raining heavily, and the rain was pouring, and the water element was extremely rich. In alchemy, water element can usually be used as a bridge of communication, whether between matter or between fields,

Senior Chu said that he saw the entrance to highway No. 000 at that time... and I have checked it, the entrance to highway starts from No. 001." Finger's voice was deep.

"Based on this, I made a reason that at that moment, Junior Chu and his father were no longer in the real world... The enrichment of water elements caused the door to be opened, and the confusion between material and spiritual fields made you easily enter that place-

The Kingdom of Dead, Nibelung, is a temple-like place! Alchemists have been trying to find it for thousands of years!"

"Is there anything related to an alchemist and a corpse-sharper?" Mo Qiuran raised his hand and asked.

"No, the alchemists are crazy about it not because there are corpses inside...but another meaning." Finger shook his head and began to explain in detail.

"The country of the dead, Nibelung, may be just a legend, and it does not exist at all. Even if it exists, it has been closed for many years. The last witch who claimed to have been there was burned to death on the cross. That is still recorded in the book, in the Middle Ages.

It is a holy place that all alchemists want to worship. Although it is called the Kingdom of the Dead, it is not the "underworld" or "hell". It is full of treasures.

If you summarize alchemy in one sentence, it is to "kill" matter and then "regenerate" matter.

During the rebirth, impurities are removed and matter acquires new properties.

But killing substances is not as simple as killing people. In order to kill metals, generations of alchemists have been constantly pursuing higher flame temperatures and magical formulas.

The dead material is the best material. If you want to refine gold, you must first kill silver. If you want to refine swords, you must first kill steel. And the dead country of Nibelun is full of dead material. An alchemist once described that country...

Without day and night, half-dark and half-bright light always floats in the sky. The ground and mountains are bronze, made of dead soil and metal, the sky is gray, made of dead air, the flame is cold blue, made of dead fire elements, and water cannot float anything because water is also dead.

There is a city there, built with the bones of dead lives, and the fifth element "spirit" is enriched in it, which can refine the legendary "Stone of the Sage".

So you can understand why alchemists yearn for it infinitely, and the dust of Nibelon roots is priceless to them!"

Finger was a little excited to the naked eye.

"Stop, there is no need to introduce such a lot of professional things. Senior, you need to understand that we are all just freshmen who have not yet entered the school. We didn't know the existence of the Dragon Clan two months ago." Mo Qiuran chose to interrupt.

"...So in two months, we have to plan to find and kill the god king in the history of the dragon clan?" Finger's eyes were strange.

"Well... As we all know, sometimes fighting can be less dependent on your brain." Mo Qiuran shrugged, "And according to your statement, it doesn't seem to fit in line. After all, what Chu Zihang saw was a highway that was no different from the real world... Or did this thing exist so many years ago?"

"The records about Nibelungen are just legends. Do you know the legend? I have never seen the real ones!" Finger said, "And even if Nibelungen was like that in the past, wouldn't these dragon kings be able to do some decorations if they stayed in their nests for such a long time?"

"Senior, what you said makes sense!" Mo Qiuran thought for a while and felt that it seemed to make sense.

"Okay, the next thing is the most important thing... Since Nibelon root exists and is here, then we have found the door!"
Chapter completed!
