"Snakes can grow very large because the cell division of reptiles is different from that of mammals. Their cell division never stops. It is also for this reason that they have to shed their skin, because the body that continues to grow will always burst the original skin.
"
Dawn explained to Old Tang in a low voice, "In principle, they can grow to infinite size, provided they have a long enough lifespan. Although snakes are very long-lived, their lifespan is always limited. Have you heard of Avalon?"
A legend? On this island, time does not flow and nothing will die..."
"So they can grow indefinitely?" Old Tang's eyes widened.
"Just a guess."
"Are those snakes afraid of us just now?" Old Tang asked doubtfully.
Dawn nodded and looked at Old Tang. To be precise, he was afraid of you.
Old Tang didn't know that in the eyes of others, he was actually a moving snake-repelling toilet water. He thought it was Alfred's contribution.
"Let's go up the mountain." Merlin held on to his top hat and smiled mysteriously.
It is almost exactly the same as the scene in that painting. The island is surrounded by a curved mountain wall with only a gap, and the pier is built at the gap.
This geological structure looks like a natural formation, but it is too regular. It looks like a collapsed ancient Roman Colosseum. However, on the mountain wall where the seats of the nobles were supposed to be, there are caves one after another, dug into the ground.
Neatly.
Four non-human beings slowly walked up the steps. The steps were cut directly into the rock. The surface was rough but flat, clean and dust-free, and very comfortable to walk on.
This is a ladder dug for humans... Dawn raised an eyebrow, this shouldn't be...
According to their guess, this place should be a Nibelung root created by the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan's size is not as large as that of humans, right?
Even on the main peak of Honakis, although Antigonus established the Kingdom of Night on the mountainside, he still built a giant-like palace according to his mythical creature form where he actually lived.
And the "Miracle City" Levished, which was founded by the real "Dragon of Fantasy" Angelweed, will not build a city according to human standards...
They could walk on these steps very easily, just in line with the human body structure. This shows that the builder is a human, or at least about the same height as a human, and walks on two legs.
This place was built for humans, or in other words, for human-sized creatures.
But... this island, whether it is called "Island of Death" or Avalon, as long as it is a Nibelung, it is basically certain to be related to the Dragon Clan.
Was the creature that once walked on these steps in human form, or was it a strutting dragon?
Merlin's footsteps stopped outside a cave, and the mysterious expression on his face finally changed and became heavy.
Alfred's expression also became very deep.
Old Tang quietly poked his head out from behind Alfred and cast his gaze into the depths of the cave, wanting to see what caused the change in the expressions of the two men.
It was a coffin, a coffin made entirely of gold, with vine-like patterns carved all over the body, as if wrapped in an ancient golden tree. It was so simple and solemn, yet so luxurious that it was unbelievable.
It is suspected that the remains of an ancient king are placed there.
"!" Could it be the remains of King Arthur? Old Tang glanced at Alfred without leaving any trace.
Of course, Old Tang's little actions couldn't be hidden from the angel-level audience, and Audrey could easily guess what Old Tang was thinking.
But Audrey didn't say much, her attention was mainly focused on the coffin in the cave.
She noticed something strange about this golden coffin. It was priceless and extremely exquisite in craftsmanship. However, it had two arm-thick iron hoops covering the head and tail of the coffin. Each iron hoop was connected to four thick iron rods.
Chain, the iron drill at the end of the chain is deeply inserted into the rock.
Someone, no matter who they were, seemed to be afraid that the bones in the coffin would be resurrected, so they locked the entire coffin with iron hoops, and then fixed it with iron chains. It was an extremely honorable coffin, but it was also
An unbreakable prison.
There is a similar tradition in human history. In ancient Romania, where vampire stories were widespread, relatives would seal those who were thought to have been bitten by vampires into steel coffins and stuff bricks into the mouths of the corpses.
This will prevent him from being resurrected as a vampire.
A small piece of the rock wall next to the cave was polished, and it was carved with ancient characters that they could not understand. Each line was an angry snake, and all the strokes combined looked like a group of violent snakes.
According to the experience of the mysterious trio, this kind of writing should be writing with mystical power, just like the ancient Hermes writing.
Audrey felt that this should also be a type of dragon script, but it was true that this kind of script had not been seen in Kassel College.
But what is basically certain is that this is the name and date of birth and death of the person in the coffin, just like the content on the tombstone.
Old Tang couldn't understand it either, but he felt vaguely uneasy because he had the illusion of being familiar with this kind of writing, as if he had mastered this kind of writing before.
Old Tang looked at the expressions of the other three people tangledly, and found that they all looked calm and were reading the words carefully.
They knew this kind of writing, and Old Tang took it for granted that after all, the remains of King Arthur should be buried here, or it might be a tomb or something like that.
Even if he wasn't, he would probably be some great figure in mythology.
And Alfred is the reincarnation of King Arthur or he is himself, of course he knows him.
The same goes for Merlin.
"Keep going up." Merlin led them up the stairs.
There is a coffin in each cave, coffins of different textures, some carved from a single piece of granite, some made of black iron, and some made of precious metals such as gold and silver. None of them are priceless treasures, but each one is
The tools were all tied up with iron hoops, and then locked in the cave with iron chains.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Old Tang began to realize that there was some kind of terrible atmosphere permeating this mysterious island.
Just like the legend, this island has both life and death characteristics. The towering dragon cypress trees and the giant snakes that shed their skin repeatedly are its "life" side; and the mountains are full of coffins, and the unverifiable things in the coffins are
The remains are its "dead" side.
Life and death, two completely opposite concepts, have reached a balance on this strange island.
"Are these... the king's coffins?" Old Tang asked Alfred in a low voice. He didn't dare to face Dawn and Merlin.
In Old Tang's mind, Dawn's image was on the same level as the strange island of Avalon, and the Black Glove Restaurant brought a profound psychological shadow to him.
He had previously thought that the coffin was the resting place of King Arthur, but the conclusion was soon overturned.
Old Tang looked at the luxurious coffins all over the island and was a little speechless. Did the nine fairy queens of Avalon regard this place as the king's hotel? Let the king enjoy the highest treatment even after his death?
"It's Odin." Merlin's tone became cold and indifferent, like the sea before a storm. "After Odin took over this place, he made it full of smoke and silence."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with anger.
Although I don’t know what happened to these coffins, I can just leave them to Odin and Merlin will temporarily add them.
As ancient scholars, Merlin and Dawn recognized that two of the coffins were from the "Second Empire of Thebes" era in ancient Egypt. The coffins were carved from a single block of granite, weighing several tons, and were engraved with unique ancient Egyptian symbols on the surface.
Bird-shaped characters.
The first gold coffin was probably from the Sumerian period, which was the oldest recorded human civilization. Iron smelting had not yet been invented at that time, but gold was easier to come by; as for those black iron coffins
, it should be a product of the Hittite civilization. The ancient Hittite Empire relied on powerful iron swords to sweep across Asia Minor.
Just like what Old Tang said, these may be the coffins of kings, or king-level figures. They should be located in grand royal tombs around the world, but they were transported to this Nibelung by unknown people.
This is a museum of the remains of emperors, but it is never open to anyone, unless you know its longitude and latitude, the time it opens to the real world, and the method of entry. Or, like the mysterious people, you can directly "open the door" and enter here.
Finally, they climbed to the highest point of the mountain wall. Looking out, the sea water was constantly undulating, the sky was always the same color, and the surroundings were always half-light and half-dark, like morning or evening.
Looking back at the center of the island, I don't know when the mist has engulfed Stonehenge. Even the towering cypress trees only have their tops exposed to the mist.
Everything is between reality and illusion. Standing here, it feels like reaching the end of the world, which makes people suddenly feel world-weary and want to sit down and breathe slowly, turning into a stone statue.
Even the well-informed Audrey and the others were shocked by the beauty of this moment.
"Where is Odin?" Alfred suddenly turned around and asked Merlin.
Merlin glanced at the mirror in his hand, smiled happily, and said, "He has discovered us."
Where Old Tang couldn't see, the last thin wisp of gray fog dissipated.
Then……
The huge dragon cypress tree in the distance suddenly lit up, as if a flame was burning.
This island, where there is no passage of time or changes in day and night, seems like the sun is about to rise. The glimmer of light expanded very quickly, and soon half of the sky turned golden, and the cyan clouds were completely engulfed by the light.
Old Tang couldn't see anything clearly, but he instinctively realized that someone was coming.
What kind of person, when he arrives, the world is illuminated by his light? His breath diffuses between heaven and earth, like a high wall connecting the sky.
This kind of situation should only appear in the Bible or the Mahabharata. It is not used to describe the arrival of humans or even the human emperor, but to describe the opening of the heaven and the arrival of God!
Old Tang couldn't see beside him, and both Merlin and Dawn showed unhappy expressions. They didn't show such a strong character when they appeared on stage, okay?
Why does this damn Odin have such a cool appearance!
