About Beowulf, this is an old legend.
This story originally appeared as a long-story narrative poem. It is not actually the true history of Nordic mythology, but it is also an important part of that magnificent mythology system.
It tells the story of mortal warriors.
Beowulf is the king of the Danes. Of course, in that era, they were still Vikings. In short, this strong man suspected of being a mad warrior challenged the giant, killed the sea monster, and stabbed a fire dragon in his own age. .
Ordinary people certainly cannot do this, and many wizards also suspect that Beowulf is likely to have the blood of Asgard gods, just like the endless demigods in Greek mythology.
But in Randolph, who had personally experienced the times of Beowulf, Merlin knew another version of the story.
Beowulf is not a demigod, he is just a strong ordinary man, but he is extremely talented, and is one of the few geniuses in the ordinary warrior who can understand the way of the mad warrior. The story of his killing of giants and sea monsters is also true. The magic sword that killed the Kraken did indeed come from Asgard.
That sword used to be Randolph's saber.
The sword was made by Urujin, and it was carved with powerful rune-breaking runes. It was still very easy to kill a non-pure blood Kraken.
But the last of the three epic battles of Beowulf and the story of Beowulf challenging the fire dragon are somewhat different from the legend.
The brave warrior who had long faded away in time was not a lonely challenge to the irritated dragon. He received help from the Asgard deity. At that time, the young Thor, the son of Odin, also passed the Rainbow Bridge. Aware of the dragon that came to the earth, he controlled the emergence of a thunderstorm and battled the dragon with the brave Beowulf.
In the end, the dragon was defeated and Beowulf was killed. His soul was led by the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard’s Hall of Heroes, where he would enjoy happiness forever.
However, the evil dragon is not a fire dragon as described in the story, it is not.
It is much more dangerous than the fire dragon.
Otherwise, how did it appear to attract the attention of Asgard?
You know, after the Rainbow Bridge is closed, Asgard will only send soldiers to help when the Earth is facing a great crisis, as in this Cree incident.
This shows that the appearance of the evil dragon is a crisis that may destroy the earth.
Now, Merlin is about to leave to find the defeated dragon.
"The time when the first and second quarters alternate."
Merlin stood on his own grass, raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and distinguished the stars at this time.
Behind him, Cuckoo was huddling himself together, napping on the steps at the door. The daily routine of this cat is not the same as other cats. Every night, it will become very sleepy.
Today is not a weekend, the children are still in school and have not returned home.
Surui moved out to live with Ross, so in the big house, only Merlin and Cuckoo were left.
At the brightest moment of the moonlight in front of him, Merlin took out the pebble that Randolph gave him from his pocket, and suspended it in front of his eyes. With the moonlight scattered on the stone, the surface of the pebble appeared white. , A line with a faint glow, and quickly formed a miniature map.
"Icarus, scan comparison."
Merlin whispered, and the next moment, on the lens in front of him, the miniature map was quickly enlarged, and on the other lens, a map of the world was tuned out.
Icarus relied on his powerful computing power to quickly scan the place where the two maps overlapped. Ten seconds later, a precise point was determined.
"The target point is near the Norwegian Strait, where there is a remote ocean without a waterway."
Icarus' soft voice sounded in Merlin's ears:
"The precise location of the target point should be under the sea... but the satellites of SHIELD cannot scan under the sea, so Mr. Merlin needs to be careful."
"Well, it's already ready, don't worry."
Merlin reached out and nodded on the pendant on his chest. The blue half-covered mask quickly covered his nostrils and mouth. He moved his hands and feet to wrap the magic outside the body. He said:
"Turn on the video function, Icarus, we are going to explore."
"Goo."
Merlin turned to the lazy cat and said:
"Looking at home."
"Uh"
Merlin's figure disappeared in place, and he looked at the scene with human disdain. He raised his paws, covered his eyes, flicked his tail, and slept again.
On the other side, Merlin did not waste time. He directly introduced himself into the deep sea of the target point. This was the first time Merlin entered the deep sea with a shifting spell. When his body appeared under the muddy sea water, that This kind of pressure from all directions makes Merlin's activities very uncomfortable.
But now, he is no longer an ordinary person, and after a little swing of his hands and feet, he quickly adapted to the pressure here.
He looked around. The blue breathing mask provided him with enough oxygen to prevent him from suffocation.
In Merlin's perception, there is almost no life deep in this sea area, which is very rare, no matter how remote and desolate the ocean, there should be some life.
But here, even the highly adaptable undersea plants cannot grow.
"Sure enough, weird."
"Icarus, scan the terrain here."
The Merlin urn gave orders, and at the next moment, a faint energy was fired along the frame of Icarus in all directions, like a miniature sonar. Soon, the terrain near this dark trench was The posture of the data model appeared on Merlin's lens.
"At the bottom of the trench there is an entrance to the underground cave that is covered up."
Icarus said:
"Special energy is entrenched at the entrance, and it seems to be dispelling any creatures close to the entrance of the cave. That should be the source of no life in this sea area."
"There should also be my destination..."
Merlin said, he quickly swam towards the deepest part of the trench. The further down, the greater the pressure of the water flow, but this had no effect on Merlin. He spread his body in a more loose mist. The pressure suddenly dissipated invisible.
Soon, Merlin found the entrance to the underground cave detected by Icarus.
There is a standing stone monument with traces of expelling magic, and the cave is not naturally formed. According to Merlin's observation, it is more like a temple that was sunk into the sea during geological changes.
That kind of temple is very simple and primitive.
He stepped into the temple, which was already submerged by seawater, but the internal passageway was still intact.
Merlin went deep all the way along the crooked forward path. He also found traces of murals that had been destroyed in the sea, some twisted corpses, and some weird, hard to describe. Stuff.
It's like the marks left by the ink on the ground, black, with the strange energy that is about to completely dissipate.
"Like an organic creature that does not exist with the earth."
Icarus started the analyzer, and after a while, it reported the analysis results to Merlin:
"It has been here for a long time, this is the ‘wreckage’ left after its death.
"Well, it's interesting."
Merlin said, he walked forward a few steps, he suddenly said:
"It seems to be getting colder, Icarus, is the temperature here normal?"
"The temperature is falling."
Artificial intelligence compares the temperature, it says:
"The temperature in front of the channel is lower than here. It is close to 0° at the end of the channel. The seawater there has shown the form of a mixture of ice and water... Above the end, a huge space was detected, where oxygen should be present... But the temperature there has reached minus 76°."
"Let's go and see."
Merlin felt that he was getting closer and closer to the final answer. He told Icarus:
"Observe the temperature changes all the time, and let me know if you have any questions."
"Roger that."
Icarus's lens quickly emerged to simulate the path of the channel ahead. Although Merlin can see the road clearly without these, with the help of Icarus, Merlin's rapid movement in the water has become smoother.
A few seconds later, with the sound of ice breaking, Merlin rushed from the lower layer of the temple into the upper layer that was not submerged by sea water. This is a very large space, and it has not been seriously damaged.
But here is frozen.
It was like being frozen by the ice immediately after the end of a war. Merlin saw the weapons, armor, and the remains of war horses and warriors scattered around his feet. They were all sealed in the ice, making this mysterious The temple looks like an ice burial pit.
"Front! Danger! Icarus advised Mr. Merlin to leave immediately!"
The red warning was beating in front of Merlin's eyes.
But without these warnings, Merlin already knew what he was looking for.
In the deepest upper part of this frozen temple, on the edge of this land of death, a giant iceberg standing like a mountain is standing there.
The surface of solid color, solid and irregular ice like ice shines with a cold breath, and among the crystal clear icebergs, a scary creature that can't help but hold its breath is being sealed in it .
That's the head... dragon!
A head reached nearly 50 meters in length, opened its bat wings above its arms, raised its front paws, and was a black dragon roaring in the sky.
It has bone spurs and a tail with a vertebrae in front of it. At the end of the neck like a snake, a fierce, unlike a traditional dragon, but a more twisted head, standing high, maintaining a roaring roar attitude.
Although it has been completely frozen, when seeing this frozen dragon, Merlin still seemed to hear a dragon roar from the past.
"This is not a dragon..."
Merlin stared at the crazy ice sculpture in front of him, and after a while, he shook his head:
"There is no such dragon on the earth..."
"It really isn't!"
Icarus scanned the frozen black dragon in front of his eyes with a bioanalyzer. Complex data formed a green data waterfall in front of Merlin's eyes. This artificial intelligence reported while analyzing:
"The material that makes up its body is exactly the same as the wreckage detected just now... This is not a life with a fixed body. Its current form is composed of countless organic substances. In theory, it can be freely transformed into any shape. "
"It's alive...like hibernation."
"That was Beowulf's challenge then?"
Merlin cautiously approached the cold ice sculpture in front of his eyes. He looked at the terrifying creature, and finally found a long sword that pierced its body in the belly of the dragon, as described in the poem. , Beowulf used a sword to cut through the dragon's abdomen and killed it.
Merlin shook his head:
"That's not a fatal wound."
"Chopping and puncturing are ineffective against such creatures."
Icarus said:
"It is essentially like a combination of countless nano robots, and only energy attacks can hurt him."
"Like this."
Merlin bent down and picked up a cold bone-like ice block from under the ice sculpture. The ice block was also sealed with a fist-sized black substance. On the surface of the black substance, there were still scorch marks, which looked like It was the same as being hit by fire or lightning.
"I guess this must be the masterpiece of Thor, who was still young."
He looked at the ice cube in his hand, which also had problems.
It is not an ordinary ice block. Merlin can feel that the ice block is attached with some energy that he cannot understand. It is very weak, but it is maintaining the shape of the ice block, so that the black matter in it cannot break the ice block. Bondage.
"Is it still alive?"
Merlin asked.
"There is a faint life activity, but like a candle in the wind."
Icarus detected the ice cube in Merlin's hand and replied:
"Compared to this black dragon, where countless organic matter has polymerized, its threat is very low."
"Then let us see, what the is this."
Merlin glanced at the frozen black dragon in front of him. He carefully held the ice in his hand. He still remembered Randolph's warning.
Don't be greedy, just take one.
"Uh"
The next moment, Merlin left the underwater cave with a shifting spell, and he did not destroy anything here. Whatever the origin of the sealed dragon, it is best not to disturb it now.
But when Merlin landed on the land closest to the ocean, he found that the ice in his hand was melting rapidly.
After leaving the temple, the special force on the ice block also dissipated. The force was not attached to the ice block! It is attached to the temple.
"Damn it!"
Merlin shook his hand to get rid of the night in the ice slag, such as liquid and plasticine, but unfortunately, it was already covered on Merlin’s gloves and touched Merlin’s wrist. skin.
In the snake-like touch, Merlin suddenly...the eyes were black.
The next moment, a reflection of a creeping world appeared in his mind.
