Chronicle of the Elf Realm

"Then be careful." Zou Jongren warned, then suddenly increased the frequency of flapping his wings, and rushed down from the forest sea cliff, leaving an arc of a very faint afterimage in the air.

"Why does it feel so familiar?" Si Jia asked himself doubtfully, and also drew another beautiful arc.

The closer they got to Lakoge Falls, the thicker the mist became. Zou Jong couldn't help but slow down, and Sijia followed him and also slowed down.

"There is actually a Rainbow Bridge in front of Lakog Falls. The Rainbow Bridge is a little far away from the waterfall and is relatively safe, so we don't have to worry too much. We can go there first and have a look. If there are no clues there, then We can only risk getting closer to the waterfall." Zou Jiaoren said.

"Rainbow Bridge, that one." Sijia pointed ahead. The outline of a brightly colored bridge that was as flat as a wide road gradually became clear.

Rainbow Bridge, in Old Norse, means "shaking heavenly road". In Norse mythology, it is a huge bridge connecting Asgard and Midgard.

Of course, in the human world, descriptions of the Rainbow Bridge mostly appear in the Prose Edda. After research, many anthropologists believe that the author of the Prose Edda, Shloris Turathon, reinterpreted the Milky Way into a rainbow, so , Rainbow Bridge should have been the Milky Way, bifrost.

The Rainbow Bridge is built here. In this alien water palace in the neutral zone, one end happens to be facing the water area of ​​the elves, and the other end is the green water area of ​​the five regions where the elves are entrenched. I am afraid it has an ingenious purpose.

The Rainbow Bridge was rebuilt after the decline of the fairies. The original Rainbow Bridge was destroyed in the battle of destruction in the Elf Realm. The area of ​​the fallen fairies was very small, mainly the current "Blue Water", and the terrifying The battle of destruction also started from that area.

Therefore, according to the builder's intention, towards the other end of the water, the territory where the elves are located symbolizes Asgard, the Asa divine domain connected to one end of the rainbow bridge in Nordic mythology. His intention is to exalt the elves and praise them. They are gods.

And toward the other end of the blue water, the originally tiny settlement of the goblins symbolized the so-called Midgard in Nordic mythology.

Midgard is surrounded by the bottomless deep sea of ​​a world composed of oceans and water. It is very similar to the geographical environment of the blue water. The "Twilight of the Gods" that happened in Middle-earth probably refers to the Elf Realm. The devastating battle at the end of ancient times, but according to Norse mythology, after the huge catastrophe of "Twilight of the Gods", Middle-earth finally recovered.

Could it be that the builder could predict the future? Since he could refer to the location of the goblins as "Midgard", he must have known about the eventual recovery of Middle-earth. But at that time, the Destruction War had just ended. He was How do you know what will happen in the future? Is it just luck? The metaphor of Nordic mythology just fits the development history of the Elf Realm after that.

This is still a mystery among the elves. Countless elf scholars have tried to find out the truth about this problem. Unfortunately, until now, they have not even found out who rebuilt the Rainbow Bridge, let alone the builder. .

A few decades ago, the fairies miraculously rose again. A small number of elf scholars suddenly discovered that several aspects of the history of this elf realm miraculously overlapped with the ancient Norse mythology, and they gathered at the Rainbow Bridge one after another. , the Rainbow Bridge was bustling with activity at that time, but now, those extremely intelligent scholars are afraid that they are flipping through information at home and do not want to study it on the spot, so the Rainbow Bridge has become deserted again.

The Rainbow Bridge has such a special meaning, and neither Zou Jing nor Si Jia obviously know it. The former was not born yet at that time, and after he was born, the popularity of the Rainbow Bridge has passed, leaving only some elves who are busy studying the door and never go out. The scholars of the Historical Society knew that those elf scholars would come over to tell him that it was impossible when they were full and had nothing to do, so he obviously didn't know.

As for Si Jia, he just came to this elven realm and he doesn’t understand some basics. Don’t talk about these hidden secrets.

"Well, the Rainbow Bridge. When I was flipping through previous books, I occasionally saw a little introduction to it. It is said that the three-color rainbow bridge in Nordic mythology is composed of ice, fire, and air." Zou Jiao held his chin and thought, "But look It doesn’t look like it, but it looks colorful.”

"Norse Mythology" Si Jia was startled.

Although he had known for a long time that the Elf Realm and the human world had the same roots, he was still surprised that this Nordic mythology was also spread in the Elf Realm.

"Norse mythology, the Elf Realm has been a myth and legend passed down since ancient times, and there are many Elf scholars who study it." Zou Jing people seemed to be used to Sijia being always surprised by the historical foundation and common sense of the Elf Realm. Knowing that he probably didn't understand, he immediately explained.

Come on, the source of this Nordic mythology actually comes from the realm of elves. Before ancient times, humans and elves still coexisted. No wonder, no wonder. Sijia felt so sad that he never expected that what those anthropologists had spent more than ten generations studying could actually come from the Elf Realm, the world they originally lived in.

Maybe all myths, whether solved or unsolved, come from this place.

"That's it," Si Jia was filled with emotion, but felt that he was acting too rude. He cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Boss, you are quite right. I also feel like Qicai."

"But it is really made of air," Zou Jingren said, "the air is solidified through condensation magic. But for such a big bridge, and with such an ancient history, it must have also exerted the spell of stopping time and the surface of the bridge. Barrier, otherwise the air would have escaped again in the long years."

"There is a time limit for the implementation of magic. I can probably imagine this." Si Jia frowned, rarely using his long-wasted analytical ability. "But for such a big bridge, just condensing magic will consume a lot of money." Not small, plus those more mysterious-sounding spells and surface enchantments that stop time, who has such great power?"

He was lucky enough to know that the ability to stop time was like a legend, so he chose to keep it secret when Tuanzi saved him from the bottom of the abyss and killed Medusa. After all, that guy Tuanzi could also stop time. Ah, if you say this, it will cause such a sensation

"Yeah, it's a mystery." Zou Jiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"To be able to make this bridge endure for such a long time without disappearing, and to be so stable, this ability is probably as high as the sky." Sijia murmured.

"Originally I guessed it was that king, but then I thought about it. There are very few records about the king of heaven and earth in the history of the elves. The many records are just about his achievements and deeds, so there is no evidence to support it. There are many The elves probably all have similar thoughts." Zou Jong frowned and thought for a while, and finally spoke slowly. It was obvious that he was also very curious about this issue.

That king, it is said that in the ancient battles, he led various races to form an alliance with the elves to fight against the elves. The Elf King Masjia frowned. For this king, he did not have the same fanatical worship and respect as the elves. , probably because I don’t understand it, so I don’t catch a cold very much.

"Maybe." Si Jia was noncommittal, and the frequency of his wings beating decreased again.

They were already approaching the Rainbow Bridge and it was time to prepare for landing.

Thinking of this when he landed, Sijia felt a sense of depression in his heart. His own landing technique, oh, he shook his head in his heart, and finally retracted his wings.

"Ouch."

As expected, because the surface of the rainbow bridge was as smooth as a mirror, Sijia was only slightly staggering at first, but because of that, his feet slipped and he fell directly towards the rainbow bridge, hitting his chin on the hard one that was like steel. On the glass rainbow bridge, Sijia cried out in pain.

"Is it okay?" Regarding Si Jia's landing technique, Zou Jiao also had a helpless attitude. After landing steadily, he stretched out his hand to the fallen Si Jia.

"Thank you, boss." Si Jia stretched out his hand, and Zou Jongren pulled hard, and he stood up again, but his other hand touched his sore butt.

"This color looks like seven colors, but if you look closely, it really looks like it is made of ice and fire, mainly red, yellow and blue." Si Jia looked at the rainbow bridge that embarrassed him and said.

"This is also the first time I've seen the real thing. It's exactly what you said." Zou Jongren nodded.

"Let's take a look separately. If there's nothing wrong on this bridge, we'll go to the place near Lakorg Falls," Zou Jingren said, pointing to the side on the right facing the Elf Waters, "I'll go there, you Go the other way.”

"Okay." Sijia responded, then raised his steps and headed to the left. Seeing this, Zou Jiao also headed to the right, and the two of them split up.

"What could be wrong?" From such a distance, he could sense something was wrong, but when he arrived there was nothing strange, Sijia also had a little suspicion that there was something wrong with Zou Jiaoren's judgment.

Looking at the miraculous "Thunder God's Water" not far away, Si Jia felt that all the impetuous and boring emotions in his heart were swept away, leaving only the leisurely joy.

In that relaxed state of mind, Si Jia couldn't help but hum a song:

Watching you slowly leave

Destiny is like the tide

Drowning I can't breathe

Floating in the black sea

How to get used to losing your future

Destined to have a future without you

Don't forget, don't forget the gradually disappearing blank space

Don't say anything. I don't want to understand.

At least I still have a beautiful future

This song has always been his favorite. When the Xianjianyi craze started in mainland China in those years, he also participated in it and learned this song by the way.

At that time, he thought it would be great if he could have a romantic relationship, but he didn't expect that it would happen a few years later.

Just humming a song, holding the back of his head, and scanning the surrounding scenery, a figure flashed past under his sea-blue eyes, and his body suddenly stiffened.
