Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 159 Leap of Faith
"Nibelungen, the country of the dead, this word can be found in many ancient documents, but it is not confirmed whether it is true or legendary. The last person who claimed to have been there was a medieval witch and was burned to death on a cross. .”

The waiter took away the plate and brought a new dish, snails baked in cream.

Lu Mingfei stuffed the snail meat into his mouth: "Is the Nibelungen something like a different space?"

"It can't be verified, but if it really exists, it should be an inaccessible alien space, or sink in the deep seabed that no one knows." Su Enxi took a sip of red wine lightly, "Modern humans occupy this planet for only a short time. Less than 300 years, not even one ten-millionth of the existence of this planet, but there is no doubt that this sky and land already belong to human beings, and the secret party has launched more than one search for the Nibelung in private Actions, but always get nothing."

"So either it doesn't exist at all, or it's in a different space and a deep sea that no one can reach?"

"Most people tend to believe that the Nibelungen exists." Su Enxi said: "Because so far, human research on dragons lacks a very important link, that is, the gathering places of dragons, and dragons are rarely found. In mythology, the black king Nidhogg ruled the world, but none of the remains related to the black king before his death has been excavated. This is a very illogical thing, even the pharaoh can leave The next pile of pyramids, the king of the world left no trace."

"You mean those ruins are hidden in the Nibelungen?"

"It's very likely." Su Enxi nodded: "The King of Bronze and Fire lived in the northern ice sheet and cast a towering bronze palace, the Black King crucified the White King on a copper pillar that held up the sky, and the divine way across the ocean, these Everything is recorded in classics, and many nations in the world have legends of 'ancient civilizations that suddenly disappeared'."

"Then how do you get into the Nibelung?"

"The only way recorded in the classics is 'death'."

"The kingdom of the dead, of course you have to die to enter." Lu Mingfei put down his knife and fork and nodded, hugging his chest. "It makes sense, so what plan did the 'boss' give you?"

"Throw you down from a height of 15000 meters." Su Enxi looked at Lu Mingfei directly.

Sweden, high in the Navia mountains.

Strictly speaking, the Navia Mountains do not belong to Sweden. It is located between Norway and Sweden. 1700 kilometers and a width of about 200 to 600 kilometers.

It has been eroded by ancient glaciers, the terrain is flat, and many steep fjords are formed along the coast that go deep into the inland.

There is a 10-hour time difference between Sweden and the United States. Lu Mingfei departed from the United States at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Sweden was 10 o'clock in the morning at that time. At this time, it was afternoon in Sweden, but the sun had already set above the horizon, and dusk was coming soon.

Lu Mingfei took a short nap and was getting up from the soft Simmons bed.

The color of the sun in winter is almost pure white. It looks like a big white ball of light, but when the sun shines on the ice sheet, it turns into a golden plain, like the goddess of harvest knocking over the basket of rice. Ears of wheat are scattered everywhere.

Looking down on this ice field through the window, there is a sense of loneliness in a place isolated from the world, everything has become so small, all covered with snow, only the top of the rocky cliff reveals rare iron gray and dead barren composed of withered trees .

Half of the iceberg in the distance is covered with gold leaf, and the other half is in shadow, pure and silent.

Many places here have not been developed by humans, and are covered by ice and snow all the year round, making it difficult for people to live. However, there are rich mineral resources hidden in this mountain range, including iron, copper, titanium, pyrite, etc. Sweden's iron ore is the world's largest Mining the largest iron ore underground.

Lu Mingfei put on the "Magic Prosthetic Hand", put on the skydiving suit folded beside the bed, and firmly tied the wedge pill to his back, and walked out of the room, and Mai Shutoku equipped him with a parachute bag.

"Are you really not going to train?" Mai Shutoku asked.

"It's not necessary." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "Didn't you say that you have to get close to the true meaning of death before you can enter the kingdom of death? If you do the training, I think I might not be able to enter the Nibelungen smoothly."

"I don't know what to say about your self-confidence." Mai Tokuro patted the parachute bag: "There are 30 minutes left, and the twilight period will begin. The sun will meet the horizon, and the day and night will usher in a change. The Japanese call this time period." It is the time when ghosts and gods are most likely to haunt, and the whole world will become distorted and weird when a hundred ghosts travel at night. Children must go home before the sun goes down, otherwise they will encounter terrible things. In occultism , and dusk represents a transitional state of transformation, where the boundaries of things will become blurred, and will not stabilize until the night falls completely."

"So when do I jump off the plane?"

"When the countdown is 1 minute, the hatch will be opened for you."

"Okay, give me another grilled steak, and I'll be on my way after eating."

"It's as if you are eating a meal." Jiu De Mai suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, "You have a big heart, this is 15 altitude, if you fall from here, your whole body will be embedded in the ice In the block, the buckle can't be buckled."

"No, it will just be smashed to pieces." Lu Mingfei patted his head: "There was a loud noise in my ears, my brain buzzed, and before I could spit out a mouthful of blood, my eyes turned black, and I was gone."

"You said it as if you skipped."

"Skipping in a dream."

"Is it a nightmare?"

"I don't know, it's a dream I can't explain clearly."

Lu Mingfei exercised his body, did warm-up exercises, and became familiar with the weight of the clothes on his body.

He has indeed fallen from a very high place, and more than once, the mountain road over the Xianfeng Temple is easy to slip and step on the air, the bamboo plank road is in disrepair for a long time, and there are little ghosts wearing bamboo hats throwing things to disturb you. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff, and the ninja prosthetic hand can't even find a branch to rely on, and you will be crushed to pieces.

In fact, as long as the head is facing down, basically there will be no particularly strong pain, and the internal organs will not be shattered, or people will lose consciousness before the internal organs are shattered.

Although Lu Mingfei has never jumped a parachute, he has a lot of experience in falling from heights.

According to Su Enxi, as long as Lu Mingfei accelerates to a certain state and realizes the true meaning of death in the extreme environment, he can cross that barrier and enter the Nibelungen, the king of bronze and fire.

According to Norse mythology, the black dragon Nidhogg is guarding the branches of the World Tree. He is the gatekeeper at the entrance. Behind the gate is the kingdom of death. When the gods are at dusk, the sea will be broken open, and the nails of the dead will be formed. A large ship rises from the bottom of the sea, and the ship is full of undead, which is the army of the kingdom of the dead waging war against the living.

An alchemist once described the Nibelungen, where the sky is half-dark, the clouds and soil are iron-gray, the flames emit a cold blue light, the water cannot float things, everything will only sink, there is no day and night. In the dark night, everything is dead, and the air is full of spiritual elements, and the Philosopher's Stone can be easily refined with that air.

Everything inside is a treasure, even if it is dug out of the soil, it can be used as the most advanced alchemy material.

But Lu Mingze asked Lu Mingfei to take out only one thing from the inside, a piece of dragon scale, a dragon scale the size of a schoolbag, once he said it, he would know where to get it, and after getting it, he would go back the same way, and it had to be finished at dusk Get it back before, otherwise you can never go back.

At the dinner table, Su Enxi was afraid that Lu Mingfei would not remember, so she explained the essentials again: "Let's not talk about whether you can go in, but if you go in, you must always remember one thing, your time is only 1 hour, after 1 hour , must return."

"Also, take this." Su Enxi stuffed a small metal pin, "Snap this in your vest, be careful not to damage it, this is a signal locator, we can use it to locate your location in real time , when the Nibelungen is opened, it is connected to the present world. The position you enter at the first time must be at the most surface layer. Only during this time period and at the initial location can we receive your signal. , we will find a way to get you out."

"Think of a way, does it mean that there is no way yet?" Lu Mingfei felt that this "professional team" was a bit unreliable.

"It's true now. After all, we don't know the internal structure of the Nibelungen. No one in the world can solve a non-existent math problem." Su Enxi hugged her chest and said, "But there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. The signal signal The collected data will be passed on, and there is always a way.”

"Should I say come on?"

"Hmph, I won't be happy if you say come on." Su Enxi turned her head and pouted.

"Sister, can we be more reliable." Lu Mingfei said.

This matter is related to his life anyway. At this time, he hopes that his partner is an old Mediterranean professor with sharp eyes wearing black-rimmed glasses, rather than a tsundere two-dimensional home girl who eats potato chips and sells cute.

"I thought you would like this one." Su Enxi put down her pretentiousness and returned to her normal tone: "I think you like Two-dimensional, don't you? I did a special research, and this kind of arrogant person is set before you watch it." Appears in 80.00% of anime.”

"Two-dimensional is Two-dimensional, and it cannot be confused with three-dimensional." Lu Mingfei glanced at Su Enxi's flat-panel airport quietly, "But, you are quite talented in some aspects, you are indeed born Beats 90.00% of nines."

"There are many people who call me a genius. You can rest assured. If I can't find a way out in this hour, then no one can help you find a way out."

"Then, come on, Miss Su Enxi." Lu Mingfei gave Su Enxi's chest a thumbs up.

"It's you who needs to work hard. Even if I can't solve it, my life will still go on. The only person who will be in danger in this operation is you." Su Enxi glanced at the Patek Philippe mechanical watch on her right wrist, "There are still 20 minutes , the plane will sail to the destination immediately, enjoy your steak."

"Well, Miss Su Enxi, go and do your work, come on!" Lu Mingfei nodded solemnly and patted his chest.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Mingfei stood by the cabin door.

At the edge of the horizon, the outline of the sun has already met the white ice field, and a huge red sun stands in front of the fuselage, like a pilgrimage road to the kingdom of God.

Ling, Jiu De Mai, and Su Enxi are all here to see him off.

"If you see the color of the sky change, you can pull the parachute. Don't pull it in advance. We don't have time to do it again. There is only one hour at dusk. The boss said that if you miss this time, you won't know the year of Nibelung next time." The root will be opened." Su Enxi said.

"Well, I will remember." Lu Mingfei glanced out the window, the sky was blue and bright golden, there were few clouds, and today was a sunny day.

"Then, let's open the cabin." Su Enxi gave Zero and Jiu Toku Mai a look.

Zero nodded, He Jiude Mai put on a windshield mask, while Su Enxi retreated into the distance.

They have to manually open the cabin, and the cabins of all aircraft are manual, even this Sky Express worth hundreds of millions of yuan is the same.

After all, an automated cabin door means setting up a power source, and once the plane fails, the power system is likely to be paralyzed first, causing passengers to miss the best time to jump off the plane. Moreover, the higher the altitude, the thinner the atmosphere, but The air pressure will not change, which will cause the hatch to close automatically, so there is no need to worry about the unreliability of the manual hatch.

Soon, under the twisting of Zero and Shutoku Mai, a small crack appeared in the cabin of the plane.

The cold air immediately hit his face, like an ice knife cutting his face.

Lu Mingfei faced the cold wind directly, and the goggles allowed him to keep his eyes wide open in the cold.

The cabin door was fully opened, and the wind plucked the girls' hair wantonly, and the folds of their clothes were blown back. Su Enxi gave Lu Mingfei an OK gesture, and Lu Mingfei nodded, standing at the cabin door facing the air flow Looking at the huge red sun, he jumped down without hesitation.

His limbs are wide open, his head is raised, and he maintains a "big" character so that he can see the sky.

In a state of complete weightlessness, the blue sky turned into an arc. Although he was falling, he had the illusion that he was about to embrace the sky.

Such a rapid fall did not make his heart beat faster. If someone tested his pulse, they would find that the frequency remained at around 70, which was very stable.

"Are you close to death?" Lu Mingfei held his breath.

Close your eyes and draw a beautiful parabola in the air like a free-gliding bird.

He himself can't remember how many times he has died. Is there anyone in the world who is closer to the true meaning of death than him?
He doesn't know, he just thinks back to the boundless and suffocating darkness in his heart, there is no end forever, everything is nothingness, he can't even perceive his own existence, the body has no meaning, only thinking is left, as if Frozen and thrown into space, only thinking can prove that he is still alive.

Xie Wan sang slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, half of the sky turned dark red, like the color of a dark red rose that has been forged for thousands of years.

A huge bronze palace appeared in front of my eyes. It was the skeleton of a giant dragon. It lay quietly, its wings covered the entire palace, and the gray water flooded the earth. Only the magnificent palace that seemed to live in giants opened a pilgrimage path in the water. The Road, a pilgrimage road made of gold.

There is iron-gray water everywhere, turbid but calm, like a smooth mirror, reflecting the shadow of the palace.

A sense of shock filled Lu Mingfei's heart.
