While her younger sister, Aki Shutoku, was hugging Ye Sheng, her sister, Ms. Mai Shutoku, who didn't have a boyfriend yet, was trying to stuff herself into a ball of whale meat by holding her nose.
In the waters near Iceland, a fishing boat floats on the calm sea. It is already October, which is already winter for Iceland. Some of the exposed rocks are covered with a layer of frost, which is then broken by the waves.
On that fishing boat, the most eye-catching piece of whale meat was half a man's height. Iceland is one of the few countries that allows commercial whaling. This piece of whale meat came from the latest whaling operation.
"Ugh, I smell like this, I'm going to die." Su Enxi stood on the deck of the fishing boat, covering her nose, and every pore on her face showed resistance.
"This is how the sacrificial ceremony is..." Mai Shutoku was wearing a diving suit and spoke in a muffled voice. She straightened up from the whale meat and said to Su Enxi: "Wrap the whale meat with runes written on it.
The hide was then sunk into the water."
Su Enxi walked to the other side of the deck in disgust, where there was a stone slab. This was their harvest during this period.
The stone slab comes from the bronze city that Norton once established in Northern Europe. It is part of its periphery and was built by the local Vikings. It describes the specific steps of sacrifice at that time.
After driving the excavator for two days, Su Enxi, who found nothing, found this stone slab in a farmer's utility room. So after some bargaining, the lucky farmer took his family to Spain to enjoy the wonderful life.
The sunshine gave the slate to Su Enxi.
Su Enxi looked at the abstract painting above, with the ellipse representing the whale and the curve representing the water flow, and then looked at Mai Shutoku who was digging a hole in the fish flesh, and complained:
"So you have to get into that thing, and then be sacrificed to the Dragon King together with the whale." Su Enxi muttered: "Why do I think you should change into beautiful clothes, or not wear them at all? Maybe the Dragon King would prefer not to wear any clothes.
Beautiful girl in clothes?”
"According to the BOSS, this is the only way to enter the Bronze City. This method has not been used for thousands of years." Mai Shutoku kicked away the scraped flesh she had just shaved off, held her nose and slowly but firmly penetrated the whale.
In the meat.
"It's really crazy," Su Enxi waved her hand and struggled to pick up a roll of deerskin. There were runes drawn in blood on the deerskin. Together with the huge whale meat placed on the deck, the scene looked...
Like some weird sacrificial ritual.
"Obviously I am an intellectual, why do I have to do such rough work?" Su Enxi frowned, fixed the animal skin with a wire rope, looked at the time on the watch, and according to the instructions on the stone board, it was almost time.
The Nibelung, the alchemical masterpiece of the Dragon Clan, is a kingdom of dead things hidden in the opposite side of the world. If ordinary people want to enter it, they need to use a specific method to obtain the key set by the master of the Nibelung.
For Norton's Nibelungen, the key to entering it is not only the gate of the Bronze City, but also the sacrificial passage that has been preserved from thousands of years ago.
To put it simply, this extra passage is like the sewer in Norton's house, and now Mai Shutoku wants to use this sewer to sneak into Norton's dragon's lair and have a good talk with his mentally young brother.
talk.
After fixing the deer skin, Su Enxi patted the bloody whale meat hard. The fish meat trembled a few times, stretched out a hand from the gap and gave Su Enxi a thumbs up.
"It looks okay." Su Enxi wiped her blood-stained hands while operating the winch. As the wire rope gradually tightened, the piece of fish wrapped in deerskin was lifted up.
"Theoretically, there seems to be a prayer or something," Su Enxi muttered, "but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I hope everything goes well."
As the diving watch on Su Enxi's wrist made a beeping sound, the capstan moved creakingly, and the huge whale meat lost its restraints and fell downwards.
Accompanied by the dull sound of falling into the water, a not-so-pretty water flower bloomed outside the boat, causing waves to rock the lonely fishing boat.
Su Enxi looked out the window at the dim sky through the misted glass. At this moment, the gorgeous aurora appeared in the sky, like a goddess's ribbon, constantly changing into psychedelic shapes.
Mai Shutoku, who was hiding in the whale meat, was dizzy due to her fall, and entered the icy cold sea together with the fish meat. At that moment, with the right time and the right method, the ritual that had been silent for thousands of years was started again.
In countless myths, the water surface is the intersection of two worlds. Through water, people can enter another world. With an inexplicable dizziness, Mai Shutoku felt that the cold sea water around her gradually disappeared and was replaced by dryness.
air.
Mai Shutoku pushed aside the fish that blocked her view, and a beam of light was cast over her. With the dim light, Mai Mai Shutoku saw what was happening outside. This was a room made of bronze, and it looked very old.
The palace lantern was put aside, and the dim candle flame danced, giving off a dim light.
Her position seemed to be on a flat bronze platform. Mai Shutoku struggled to crawl out of the fish package and saw the surrounding situation more clearly.
This is a bronze platform engraved with Chinese patterns. It seems to be a place specially used to store things. There are some shelves around it with some miscellaneous items randomly placed on it.
The entire room is roughly circular, with shelves containing miscellaneous items placed around the bronze platform. When Mai Shutoku walked in and observed, she realized that these shelves were surprisingly large and looked like shelves in a warehouse.
The space is also very spacious, enough to accommodate three or four people.
The dim light reflected strange shadows, and those shadows moved wantonly on the bronze platform. Mai Shutoku raised her head and discovered the source of the shadows.
It was an ocean floating in the air. The cold seawater floated abruptly above the circular room. The seawater raised waves and became strange reflections in the room under the light.
"Incredible." Mai Shutoku showed a rare hint of surprise and immediately suppressed her emotions.
The most important thing now is to find a way out.
Mai Shutoku walked to the palace lantern and put her hand into the exquisite lamp. The flame danced on her fingers, but she couldn't feel any heat.
This flame was already dead. Alchemy is a technology that kills matter and then reorganizes it. The Dragon King’s superb alchemy allowed it to reorganize into a completely different state, but in the next second, it was accompanied by a gust of evil wind...
