"The existence of this thing is more sacred than the 'Philosopher's Stone'."

"The essence of alchemy is to 'kill' matter and then 'regenerate' matter. In this process, the magazine is removed and the matter is reborn. But killing people is easy, but killing matter is not that simple. In order to kill Dead metal, alchemists are constantly pursuing higher flame temperatures and more magical formulas."

"The prerequisite for life is death." Angers nodded.

"Yes, dead matter is the best material. If you want to refine gold, you must kill silver. If you want to refine a sharp sword, you must first kill steel."

The night watchman whispered,

"The Country of the Dead is a world that exists side by side with our world in legend. It is not only a place where dead people are deposited, but also a place where dead matter accumulates."

"There is no day or night there. There is always half darkness and half light. The ground is bronze and is made of dead metal. The sky is gray and is made of dead air. The fire is cold and blue. It is the dead element of fire, and water cannot lift anything because water is also dead.”

"There is a city there, built with the bones of dead life. The fifth element 'spirit' is enriched in it and can be used to refine the legendary 'Philosopher's Stone'. So you can understand why alchemists are endlessly yearning for it. ."

"The dust of the Nibelungs is worth a fortune to them!"

"Wagner said in the opera "The Ring of the Nibelungs" that the dwarfs stole the gold from the Nibelungs and forged the rings with the magic power to rule the world, which is very similar to what the alchemists said."

"Are these all from Norse mythology?" Angers pondered for a moment, "The black dragon Nidhogg is guarding the branches of the 'Tree of Century' leading to the 'Land of the Dead'. He is the gatekeeper of that entrance."

"I have spent half my life chasing the legend of the Land of the Dead, and have traveled as far as Antarctica, but I have not been able to find that mysterious country." The Night Watchman said, "But this does not mean that it does not exist."

"Have you ever found evidence of its existence?"

The night watchman shook his head, "It can't be said to be evidence, just speculation. Angers, have you noticed that we are missing an important link in our research on the dragon clan. That is, we rarely find the remains of dragon clan settlements, especially the Black King Ned. The remains of Hog ruling the world in the name of god. The Egyptian pharaohs can still leave behind a bunch of pyramids.”

Angkor nodded, "Yes, not a single relic of Black King Nidhogg before he was killed has been excavated."

"Isn't this strange? What a splendid civilization it was! They once enslaved humans and built magnificent cities. The classics say that the King of Bronze and Fire lived in the northern ice field and cast a towering bronze palace, as well as the famous The sky-supporting copper pillar, on which the Black King crucified the White King, the huge pillar records the Black King's long war history; he also ordered the construction of a Shinto across the ocean."

"According to the literature, the Shinto is about 400 meters wide, which is enough for a Macedonian phalanx of ten thousand people to pass through in formation. It is as flat as water, straight without any bends. But with the death of the Black King, these great buildings disappeared It was like Atlantis sank into the ocean overnight.”

"Many ethnic groups around the world have legends about 'ancient civilizations that suddenly disappeared.'" Angers said, "Does it mean that the dragon civilization suddenly fell?"

"In fact, the legend of Atlantis is a historical distortion of the death of the dragons. Overnight, these things that are more majestic than today's Empire State Building, just like the entire island of Manhattan, or the entire United States, completely disappeared, never to be seen again. Can't see it, can't find it anymore. Is this possible? You have to know that even if these things sink into the Atlantic Ocean, it will take three days for the tsunami to reach the Indian Ocean and flood the entire India in one fell swoop, but it disappears very quietly."

The night watchman asked, "Why?"

"Is it related to the Kingdom of the Dead?"

"It's very possible that if the ancestors said that an ancient civilization suddenly disappeared, then maybe they were really shocked by the glory of this ancient civilization."

“Today, there are still a group of people using Google Maps to search for the lost Atlantis around the world, but what they found were only ancient human settlements submerged in the sea. The real ancient civilization may be hidden in another dimension, where , need to go through the mysterious entrance."

Angers slowly raised his head, facing the dark roof, and exhaled a mouthful of alcohol-rich gas, recalling the mysterious aura that steamed up like magic from the night watchman's words.

He said softly: "From a scientific point of view, this is too difficult to explain. A new dimension, a new space. To open the passage there requires an amazing amount of energy, which is probably enough to accelerate the earth to almost the speed of light, like a planet." It shoots through black holes like bullets. If he possesses such terrifying power, it is impossible for the Black King to be killed by humans. One time he inhales and vomits is enough to burn the world hundreds of times."

"You are talking about energy, black holes, and four-dimensional space," the night watchman raised his eyebrows, stared into his eyes, and said slowly, "This is still a matter in the field of science, and you are still looking at the world with human eyes. "

"The world in the eyes of dragons...is completely different from ours, isn't it?"

"Yes, the dragon's innate ability is to change the rules. The route you are currently taking is to explain the spirit of words in a scientific way. You said that the effect of 'Kamaitachi' is actually to change the density of the air, causing the air around the releaser to form The natural amplification cavity also improves hearing, so it is extremely sensitive to subtle sounds.”

"But the Dragon Clan doesn't think so at all. The Dragon Clan believes that the spirit of speech has changed the rules of the world in the domain. The release of the sickle and weasel awakens the sleeping spirits in the air. These spirits turn into wind monsters and pick up the sounds like sending messages. Your ears, and once they evolve into 'Vampire Scythes', they will transform from messengers into attackers who are not afraid of death, turning into sharp blades of wind and spreading outward."

"The logic of alchemy says that everything is smooth and easy to explain. But the science you study is a matter of neglecting the basics and eliminating the last. You have to come up with different scientific concepts every time, and the explanation is stumbling, such as cavities and microstructures. , turbulence, eye effect.”

"Your alchemical logic is just magic logic, okay?" As a Cambridge graduate, Angers couldn't accept the other party's slander of science, and his voice became louder, "But in fact, what you magicians say is vivid, not at all." Be logical!"

"What about your own 'time zero'? Can you explain time zero scientifically? Do you delay or speed up time? Can you tell me how much energy it takes to shorten or extend the timeline?" The night watchman shrugged, "The more time it takes, the more time it takes." The higher-level speech spirits are more difficult to explain scientifically, and this is originally the domain of occult science."

"Evidence of the existence of the Kingdom of the Dead can be found in many myths. XZ people believe that people have forty-nine days after death to wander in a mysterious realm. At this time, the human soul is called the 'bardo'. According to The pronunciation is translated as 'Antrabhara', which is something in the field of mysticism. No one knows where these 'bardos' have gone. It may be a real space, or it may exist in the illusory world of consciousness."

"Okay, magic stick" Angers spread his hands, "Then, how to open the 'Kingdom of the Dead'?"

"Die..."

"Nonsense! I mean live..." Angers felt a little weak.

"Alchemists of all generations wanted to live...and now they have all gone because they are all dead." The night watchman curled his lips.

"You are the person with the greatest achievements in alchemy in the entire academy. If you have no clue about opening the channel, then why did the channel suddenly open to Chu Zihang?"

"First of all, your evidence does not prove that Chu Zihang has really been to the Kingdom of the Dead. It is just a hypothesis. Secondly, if you want to enter, the most important thing is to obtain the permission of the gatekeeper."

"In mythology, the gatekeeper is..." Angers was silent for a long time, "The Black King Nidhogg."

"But what he saw inside was not Nidhogg, but Odin."

"Is it possible that the black dragon and his opponent in myth...are the same existence?"

"The rest is really only God knows. I have told you everything I know," the night watchman paused, "Okay... and the last one, the permission to cross the border is not a one-time thing."

"What do you mean?" Ange was stunned.

"Those who have been there may still be able to find the old road. Just like a psychic, they can communicate between different worlds between day and night. Those who can enter the Nibelungs are those chosen by the dragon and possess the With a special mark.”

"Chu Zihang is the only person we know who has been there..." Angers shuddered slightly.

"Yes, as expected, there is a mark on his body." The night watchman drank whiskey and spoke casually.

"Very good... Originally, the Beowulf family was responsible for the blood explosion, but the Beowulf family can't handle the branding issue anymore." Ange said with a headache, "You have to help me."

"It seems that today's dinner was too greasy, and I don't know why I suddenly have a stomachache..." The night watchman covered his stomach.

"Can the excuse be more professional?"

"Say it as if I owe you..."

"I don't trust the school board." Angers said one word at a time.

The night watchman was stunned.

The air temperature in the room, which was already low, seemed to freeze at this cold word.

The two people looked at each other silently, and the bell rang outside the house.

The Night Watchman's attitude towards the school board cannot be said to be good. He has always said that it is a new era and there is no need for institutions like the Secret Party Elders Council to exist. The old guys or new heirs of the family should just be their own. The investors behind the scenes and the school board should not interfere in school affairs. School affairs are the business of the executors, and they are the executors...

If he can be called "executive" after decades of drinking and reading beauty magazines in the attic.

But he doesn't mean that he doesn't trust the school board. After all, everyone has the same goal, and the Presbyterian Church is still the spiritual leader of the entire secret party.

Is there any reason not to trust leaders who have vast resources and are willing to fight alongside you?

"Everyone has their own goals. We are like partners of the same sex. When the temporary goals are the same, they will go together. But because the final goals are different, they will always part ways at the fork in the road. I don't know how long it will take for me to meet again. We parted ways with the school board, but I feel like I vaguely see the fork in the road..."

Ange said softly,

"Those people on the school board can't fight against the Dragon Clan. You know it, and I know it too. Only they themselves don't know. They don't understand how cruel war is, but they are already full of confidence that they will be completely buried in the Dragon Clan. Then they will have power over the world.”

"But the war has just begun." The night watchman answered. He shook the wine in his glass and said, "They are politicians. Politicians always think of building a new world before the war is over. It's like the United States and the Soviet Union have not yet captured Berlin and are already considering how to divide their spheres of influence in Europe. And you are a soldier, you just need to survive until the end of the war."

Angers smiled and said: "Sure enough, you still understand me."

The night watchman raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, a bastard always knows another bastard."

"Speaking of which, are you hiding something from me? Why have you stayed at Kassel College for so many years? Don't tell me that you are here drinking beer to retire." Angers turned to look at the night watchman.

The night watchman scratched his head, "I won't tell you, okay, we are even on this aspect."

"Of course, it's even."
