Nidhogg secretly observed in the Eternal Fountain.

There is a shadow beside the spring on the ground, like a stone or a sculpture.

It is almost never far away.

It was a tall knight whose whole body was covered in heavy armor. The black armor was covered with scratches and frost, and the metal surface was wrought with a layer of red patterns, like fire sealed in ice.

 The knight holds a dark red sword in his hand. Most of the time, it is as motionless as a block of iron.

 Local people sometimes come to see him.

 “Good morning, Lord Blood Knight.”

"Lord Blood Knight, you have worked hard. If possible, please take a rest."

“Lord Blood Knight, may I ask, has Lord Yao sent down a new oracle?”

 …

 The Blood Knight rarely speaks.

 When someone offers a sacrifice to him, he will speak out.

 “I am not a god, so I cannot overstep my bounds.”

 Reject this.

 The Blood Knight is an apostle, affiliated with a **** named Yao.

This made Nidhogg feel troubled.

It has dealt with a group of apostles in the past. The apostles each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The most troublesome thing is that if they cannot defeat them, they will ask gods for support.

Nidhogg is annoyed by this the most.

 Have the ability to fight in a duel!

Aren’t you just bullying yourself that there is no **** behind you?

 It knows it in its heart.

  There cannot be a head-on conflict with the Blood Knight, as the Eternal Fountain has been occupied by the Yao god.

So Nidhogg followed the underground streams of the Kingdom of Mist and went to a place far away from the Blood Knight. Soon it was revealed.

 The discoverer was a Nibelung, and the boy called a large group of children.

He pointed under the ice and said: "Look! There is a black earthworm in the poison spring!"

 Immediately, other children objected: "How can there be earthworms here? The earthworms are in the soil, not in the water. It's impossible, it's stool, very thin stool."

Nidhogg was furious and wanted to hang the foul-mouthed brat immediately.

Someone else corrected him: "No, no, it's a snake, a little black snake."

Nidhogg thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had a normal child.

In the past, the Nibelungs were not very smart. They showed a kind of clear stupidity, just like the poisonous spring here. Before they became giants, they were just a group of strange children full of poison.

"No, look at it, it's stiff, is it going to die?"

 “Quickly, rescue me!”

 The children began to cut through the ice and rescued Nidhogg.

 It did not resist.

 This is part of the plan.

 First of all, we need to contact the local people and eliminate the fear and caution of these children. Now my seemingly weak appearance is actually an advantage.

 The true hunter always appears in the form of his prey.

Then Nidhogg soon discovered that something was wrong.

 Because he was locked up by those children and placed in a box made of crystal.

 The box is warm, bright and clean.

But Nidhogg felt like he couldn't breathe and was about to die.

There is no poison here, nor the underworld powers that come from death.

It couldn't hold on any longer, so it desperately hit the solid crystal inner wall to ask for help.

Nidhogg only felt sad.

I didn't fall in Ragnarok, but ended up in this crystal box in this way, and returned to my hometown in the underworld...

But things soon took a turn for the better.

The children brought it to a frost giant.

“Mayor Barras, you see, we caught a little snake. It doesn’t know what happened to it and it looks very weak.”

The tall giant picked up the crystal container with his fingers and stared inside: "Oh? The underworld snake... is really a rare species. This is the first time I have seen it. It feeds on poison and death."

"Maybe the people who died here gave birth to it. It lives in the poisonous spring. It likes cold environments and toxins. You can't raise its temperature."

“Try filling the poison spring into your [Magic Box Court]. Didn’t you find it in the water under the ice? It seems like it can live in the water.”

saved.

Nidhogg breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The Frost Giant is the mature form of the Nibelungen. As expected, only adults understand how difficult it is to survive.

 The children did add poisonous water to the box, and the water was changed regularly to ensure that it was sufficiently poisonous.

The crystal box also has the ability to indicate the content of poisonous elements. When it is light green, it means there is plenty of poisonous elements. When it turns white, it means there is very little poisonous element.

However, this crystal box was placed on an ice platform next to the Blood Knight.

 “Lord Blood Knight, let this underworld snake accompany you!”

 The children said so.

 Nidhogg felt like he was mourning his heir.

 After going round and round, we are back to the starting point.

 Located beside the apostle, it was under great pressure and did not dare to act rashly.

Those Nibelungen children often visited it and brought all kinds of poisons to it. The Nibelungs have the dual attributes of ice and poison. The clothes and tools they use for a long time will contain a lot of poison elements.

 If a child could be eaten, the toxin would be even greater.

 But this can only be thought about.

Nidhogg is now too weak to eat a child. In fact, in the past, it had a good relationship with the Nibelungen family. The main reason was that the children with their own poisons were also of the poison type. They respected it very much and looked very pitiful. Anyone could bully them.

 Nidhogg had not eaten these children at that time.

It just gnaws at the roots of the World Tree with concentration, drawing strength from it.

 The weak do not make things difficult for the weak.

As Nidhogg obtained a large amount of toxins from people's feeding, it grew stronger and stronger, shaped like a jungle python, and it was difficult to find a crystal box large enough to accommodate its body.

 With the permission of Mayor Barras, the children released it.

So Nidhogg began to swim along the poisonous spring. It spends most of its time under the ice, which is closer to the source of the power of the endless spring and can absorb more toxin power.

 Children always greet it warmly.

“Underworld Snake, you are so strong now! Can you take me to the edge of the Kingdom of Fog? My friend and I made an appointment to meet there, and we are going to Shacheng to study.”

 It lowers its head and lets the other person come up.

“Underworld Snake, your hometown is in the underworld, can you take me there to see it. A good friend of mine has disappeared. He must have died and gone to the underworld. I miss him very much.”

 It shook its head to say no.

 The underworld is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want.

 When living beings other than gods enter that place, they become dead and cannot leave.

“Nether Snake, how did you come to the Kingdom of Mist? Did Yao God bring you here?”

Nidhogg remained silent.

If it doesn't speak, people will think it can't speak, which can save a lot of trouble. This is a skill it learned from the Blood Knight.

Nidhogg had to admit that his new life after rebirth was not bad.

Everyone knows that there is a ghost snake in the "Eternal City" of the Kingdom of Mist. Not only do local people often feed it various poisons, but foreign travelers and vacationers also generously give it precious food such as Almighty Stone.

The only troublesome thing is that these people, including humans, cat people, elves, bone ancestors, etc., all like to take photos. They will ask to leave a reflection with it on something called [Crystal Phase] as a commemoration.

Nidhogg was very cooperative.

 When others feed the Almighty Stone, I am just making a gesture, and I have nothing to lose.

 Those who pay attention to it are also scholars from the Yao tribe, the most common being potion researchers, alchemists and magicians. They would come regularly to let Nidhogg absorb all kinds of strange poisons and poisonous elements to confirm its feedback.

 Generally speaking, the more toxic and the higher the content of poisonous elements, the higher Nidhogg's rating.

 It curls its tail into a circle for visual rating.

 One circle represents ordinary goods.

  The second circle is a fine product.

 Three circles are the best.

Yao scholars will also collect its shed skin and replaced teeth for various medicinal experiments and materials.

As reward, they will give generous omnipotent stones, as well as some experimental potions made of high concentrations of poisonous elements, which are almost impossible to obtain outside.

Ten years have passed like this, and Nidhogg has become a celebrity in the Eternal City. It also has a Snake Castle in its name, which is a strange castle made of ice and stone.

 This is the suggestion of Mayor Barras.

"Mr. Underworld Snake, you have too many omnipotent stones. It is very inconvenient to store them. It is best to find [World City Treasury] or [Ocean Vault] to store these omnipotent stones, and then you can withdraw them anywhere. As long as you are willing, They will also provide door-to-door services, and there are branches of these two organizations in Fu Lao City.”

Nidhogg thought this was a good idea, so he nodded.

“Also, Eternal City wants to build a house of your own, so you don’t have to live in it. This can attract a lot of tourists. Letting them buy tickets to enter can bring a lot of revenue..."

“Eternal City will have full power to help you build it, and all profits will be divided into 50% and 50%, what do you think? As long as you cooperate with us in publicity, including participating in reports and taking photos with each other, if necessary.”

Nidhogg thinks it’s okay too.

  Anyway, what I do is still the same as before.

As the only underworld snake in the Yao civilization and a legendary resident born in the Kingdom of Mist, Nidhogg is already a household name.

Even apostles from various worlds of the Yao tribe came here to look for it. Yanjiu from Blood Hill, Yanhu from Yancheng, Maocao and Red Dragon Daisy from Resurrection Kingdom, Nefeli from Zhoudao... all came over to chat with it. one.

 “Would you consider settling in our city?”

 It refused them all.

 The Everlasting City is so good that it doesn’t want to leave.

Nidhogg never thought that a monster like himself would become so noticed and sought after.

 The Yao people are really a strange civilization.

One day, Nidhogg was awakened by a violent shock.

It raised its neck and saw the ice rising near the Eternal Fountain, and tree roots rising from the ground to the sky, entangled with the children of Nibelungen everywhere.

Blood Knight and three Frost Giants are trying to rescue everywhere, but the tree roots seem to be endless. They have turned into countless hands, hunting the children crazily and sucking them into the roots.

Nidhogg was shocked.

 The roots of the World Tree have completely revived.

 It actually knew before that those roots were secretly attacking the Nibelungs, but they were very covert. These children are nourishment for the roots in Norse mythology and will be eaten when needed.

Nidhogg saw a little girl entangled in roots nearby. The child often came to see it, always looking outside the Snake Castle, and would be shy when seeing it.

 At this time she was so frightened that she cried, and her leg was pierced by a tree root.

 Nidhogg came back to his senses and found that he was already frantically biting the roots of the World Tree.

The child was standing aside, his face glowing: "Mr. Underworld Snake is so strong!"

 “Mr. Underworld Snake is helping us!”

 “Mr. Snake will win!”

 The surviving children nearby all ran this way, towards the Snake Castle.

 The entire Kingdom of Mist is boiling and roaring, but the children’s shouts are extremely clear.

Nidhogg raised his head and looked coldly at the countless claw-like tree roots heading towards him.

It seems that the newly revived tree roots don’t know who the prey is.
