Dragon Raja: History Simulator

Page 124

The history of dragons is the past of mythology, and the Secret Party believes that Norse mythology is closest to the original "truth" about dragons.

In Norse mythology, Nidhogg, the black dragon, is not a particularly important figure. He is the combined form of the four monarchs: Hela, Thor, Njord, and Surtur.

Each one is above Nidhogg.

Before these gods, the black dragon Nidhogg seemed almost insignificant.

But how could that be? Nidhogg the Black Emperor is the supreme emperor of the dragon race, the progenitor of all beings, and a supreme deity.

How could he possibly hold such a lowly position in the book of destiny He wrote?

Wang Anzhi knew, of course, that the Black Emperor possessed the name Nidhogg, as well as the name Ymir, the progenitor of giants.

However, Ymir is merely a background figure who has long since "died" in mythology, and compared to many other gods, her importance in mythology still falls short of her reputation.

On the other hand, the four monarchs claimed to be pursuing the strongest power to gain the strength to fight against the Black Emperor, but in reality, they fought and bickered for thousands of years, destroying four solar ages and passing through five solar ages.

They actually grew weaker and weaker as the fight went on, going from having the power to destroy the world to being able to fight off hybrids.

Simply incredible.

Odin, the only one to have devoured the dragon bones, was also incredibly powerful, fighting to a standstill with Master Ye.

Could it be that Teacher Da Ye is some kind of Kakashi Wu Wu Kai, or that he has a Vibranium shield that gives him a passive ability to go toe-to-toe with anyone?

This is obviously impossible.

As for Odin's claim that having a son caused a significant decrease in his power...

Wang Anzhi could only say that anyone who believes this is a fool.

It is known that Caesar was created by Odin through a combination of technology and alchemy. Based on the example of Jiangnan Laozei, this means that Caesar himself was also a test-tube baby, born through surrogacy by his mother, Gulveig.

Of course, Gulweger herself may have certain special characteristics, not just acting as a mother and gene provider, but possibly also having the dual identity of a saint and a perfect person.

Only with such a status could she give birth to the "Emperor of the New Era" and the "New Black King," which the Gattuso family kept repeating obsessively.

However, none of these are the reasons for Odin's significant decline in power, because, on the surface, all the costs were paid by Caesar's mother, the woman named Gulveig.

Throughout all mythology, there has never been an example of a father's power decreasing significantly after giving birth to a child. On the contrary, a mother's power may be greatly reduced after giving birth to offspring, such as Gaia, whose power was constantly diminishing, and Metis, who gave birth to Athena.

More likely, the dragon bones were not as useful to them as the four monarchs claimed.

When Jormungandr saw Constantine's dragon bones, his first reaction was not to devour them with lightning speed, but to try to awaken his brother with his own blood with a sorrowful expression.

After Odin devoured several dragon skeletons, one would expect him to devour the entire world like someone who has mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Art. However, when he finally reunited with Jormungandr, his first reaction was to form a blood pact with her rather than devour her.

Indeed, this was the case. Odin, who possessed the authority of several dragon kings, including the White King, did not have much of an advantage when facing Odin.

According to Teacher Daye's theory of evolving into "Hela", Odin at that time should have become "Thor", the most powerful one among the gods, and even equivalent to having survived Ragnarok in a different way.

Therefore, it is clear that the twins' mutual devouring to gain greater power is more like a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy laid out for them by their father, Nidhogg.

The four monarchs themselves were not obsessed with devouring all the dragon bones and power.

Putting yourself in his shoes, given the example of his sister, the White Emperor Yggdrasil, would the Black Emperor Nidhogg really be foolish enough to leave a path for him to devour the four monarchs and become "Supreme"?

Wang Anzhi sighed slowly.

Chapter 195 The Dragon Maid's Memories

"Your Highness Jormungandr, there is no doubt that deep within this city lies a vast Nibelungen."

Shao Nanyin replied to Xia Mi in this way.

Dragon kings often liked to build their Nibelungen in huge cities, but they would distort the original appearance of the cities in order to show their majesty.

Xia Mi thought so, then nodded slightly, signaling Shao Nanyin to continue.

The dragon maid then continued her recollection:

"At that time, I was standing in a narrow alley from the Eastern Han Dynasty, two thousand years ago. All around me were low walls made of rammed earth, thatched-roof houses, and a dirt road under my feet that had been compacted by people and vehicles. Everything was eerily still, not even a breeze had blown."

This is His Highness Constantine's Nibelungen—a realm built in a rift in time, recreating the era most familiar to him from the depths of his memory.

Of course, it is also possible that this ancient Nibelungen has once again been brought back to light from its history of two thousand years ago.

I have no way of knowing the answer to this question; the moment I saw this Nibelungen, my heart was filled with fear.

Shao Nanyin looked at her sister Shao Nanqin, her eyes revealing a rare tenderness and consideration. Just as she said, meeting Constantine did not bring Shao Nanyin the glory of meeting a monarch, but only the fear that flowed deep in her blood.

"The deserted alley stretched on and forked at a dry well. I knew where I should go; I should leave this land of the dead, but I had no choice."

Because at that time, right by the dry well, a small figure stood with his back to me.

When I saw him, the blood flowing through my veins told me that he was my king, and that he was meant to be.

Listening to the dragon maid's description, Wang Anzhi asked for the first time, "Was it only Constantine?"

He remembered that of the two dragon servants, Abidun was killed by Nuwa, while the dragon servant Samson left with his king.

Shao Nanyin nodded silently. "In my sight, there is only His Highness Constantine."

Wang Anzhi nodded, wondering what Constantine would instruct Samson to do at this time.

Shao Nanyin then continued her narration:

"His Highness Constantine was very close to me. He had a pale smile on his face and looked as weak as if he were covered in wounds."

I even think I could defeat it.

"Have you tried?" Xia Mi was eager to try, feeling that this was a good opportunity, as Constantine had become much weaker for some unknown reason.

“I dare not,” Shao Nanyin rejected. “I don’t want to step onto the battlefield, much less take this risk of assassinating the king.”

At this moment, the older sister, Shao Nanqin, quietly grasped her younger sister's hand. The soft touch gave her courage, so Shao Nanyin continued:

"When he saw me, His Highness Constantine asked me," Shao Nanyin breathed softly, mimicking that young yet authoritative voice:

"Don't you want to continue following me?"

Shao Nanyin closed her eyes, remaining silent for a moment as she remembered, but then nodded involuntarily. She said:

“I did not answer, but His Highness Constantine has already discerned my answer.”

"He didn't punish you, didn't pull out your dragon bones, pluck out your dragon horns, or drain your dragon blood?"

Xia Mi clenched her fists and held them in mid-air. With each word she spoke, she became increasingly clenched her teeth, looking indignant as if she could see those of her former kin who had betrayed her.

Before the vast majority of dragons had united, the top-ranking dragon kings had spontaneously formed an alliance of evil dragons to crack down on any acts of betrayal. Miss Xia Mi was one of the pioneers among them.

Shao Nanyin shrank back a little, only feeling a bit more at ease when she felt her sister's warm embrace. She finally understood why she rarely saw her kind of creatures from the earth and mountains.

Seeing the Dragon Queen's knowing look, she shook her head slightly and whispered:

"His Highness Constantine did not do that."

At that time, I held my head high and said to His Highness Constantine, "I would rather be king among men than a subject bowing down."

This statement is quite in line with the values ​​of the dragon race. These dragons are all rebellious by nature. If possible, they would rather be kings on their own than kneel and submit to a monarch. However, the bloodline contract established by the Black Emperor restricts their behavior.

Wang Anzhi chuckled as he listened to Shao Nanyin's impassioned manner. In his opinion, the dragon maid was not like the "typical dragon" he had in mind. In fact, "typical dragons" were a minority among the dragons.

Shao Nanyin was still reminiscing:

“I thought my words would enrage His Highness Constantine, causing him to lose his mind and attack me, but that would be my only chance to escape.”

As everyone knows, His Highness Norton forged the weapon of monarch-killing: pride, envy, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust…

As Shao Nanyin finished speaking, she glanced discreetly at her Prince Jormungandr, then whispered:

“Each sword corresponds to the judgment of a monarch, in which only the wrath of the leader is directed at no one.”

Some say it was left for Prince Norton himself; others say it was to protect him from his father, the great Black Emperor; still others say that beneath Prince Constantine's cowardly exterior lies a tyrannical heart…

Xia Mi interrupted her, looking curiously at the dragon maid dressed in a pure white maid outfit, "So, in your eyes, this is the weakness Norton left for his brother?"

Shao Nanyin nodded silently.

"I don't have much connection with His Highness Norton, but I followed Chi You in the Battle of Zhuolu. At that time, His Highness Constantine transformed into the giant who chased the sun and led that small tribe called Jiuli step by step to the point where they could fight against His Majesty the Yellow Emperor's kingdom."

She breathed a soft sigh of relief. "Prince Constantine is not as cowardly as he appears."

Wang Anzhi thought of Kuafu and Liu Xin, and realized that it was indeed true. Jormungandr was able to choose to devour his brother Fenrir after making up his mind, so who could be sure that Norton would not devour his own brother?

The Dragon King who possesses "power" always holds a significant advantage when facing the Dragon King who possesses "strength".

He looked at the dragon maid and said in a clear, elegant voice, "But the result surprised you."

"Yes, the result was quite unexpected," Shao Nanyin readily admitted.

“His Highness Constantine did not choose to attack me. Instead, he stood there quietly without making any move, but I could feel the entire Nibelungen trembling slightly.”

Shao Nanyin murmured, "I thought it was the prelude to an attack, but in the end, His Highness Constantine just sighed softly and said to me..."

So, this is farewell, Mei.

Chapter 196 News of Death

"His Highness Constantine said nothing more to me. He merely met with me once, and once he was certain that he no longer wished to follow his wishes, he left."

Shao Nanyin recalled: "Before leaving, I saw a figure come to pay homage to His Highness Constantine, who bestowed upon him two doses of the Elixir of Immortality."

She looked at her sister and whispered, "I stole it for you at the auction."

"Two portions?" Wang Anzhi wasn't too surprised. It wasn't too difficult for Constantine to make several portions if he put his heart into it. He asked:

"Did you see clearly who that figure was who came to see Constantine?"

Shao Nanyin shook her head. "In the past, I didn't participate much in the interactions of the mixed-race society, nor did I know any important figures in it. I was afraid of being discovered by others, and..."

She shook her head helplessly. "When I left, I was driven out by His Highness Constantine. I only heard His Highness Constantine instruct that these two doses of the elixir of immortality be used to make the situation even more chaotic."

After hesitating, Shao Nanyin said:

"I don't know why, but I feel that His Highness Constantine isn't very enthusiastic about using the elixir of immortality to bribe the hybrids and the powerful among humans. He doesn't seem to care much about this matter. His only goal is to make the situation more chaotic, so..."

"So that's why you dared to steal the elixir of immortality, because Constantine didn't actually take this matter very seriously, right?" Wang Anzhi said with a smile.

“Yes, Master,” Shao Nanyin said ingratiatingly, while inwardly complaining about how two dragon kings had suddenly appeared in her small town, along with Wang Anzhi, who had given her a huge psychological trauma.

What Shao Nanyin didn't know was that this was the effect of the Word of Power: Emperor. Once she was defeated and chose to submit or flee, she could no longer harbor any hostility towards the person who had defeated her.

"Mr. Wang, there's still one elixir of immortality missing. Aren't you going to investigate it? This will surely throw the world into chaos, won't it!"
