Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God - Vol 7 Chapter 60

The latest website: After hearing Karkaroff’s words, the expressions of several warriors were also different.

Clark, Fleur, and Bruce looked at each other in dismay. The three actually knew a little bit about the format of the Triwizard Tournament.

The so-called historical fantasy is a fantasy, in fact it is both real and fantasy. It should be said that it is a piece of past history. With the help of the “Great Holy Grail” system that goes directly to the root, it is a kind of re-engraving, or projection, using the secret as a carrier. .

This is actually not much different from the principle of Clark and the others who summoned the “heroic spirit” servants. It also requires the sacrifice of “sacred objects” related to that period of history, and some materials need to be put into it.

The difference is that the former calls for “people”, while the latter calls for a certain segment that exists in history.

Of course, that’s where the problem lies.

Although the prerequisite for the formation of a historical fantasy is that the history must be very famous, known and sung by countless people.

But Clark and the others are not historians.

Moreover, the history of the wizarding world is not the same as that of the Muggle world, which means that in addition to understanding the so-called history, they may also need to understand the mythology and folklore of various places.

Compared with them, Viktor Krum, who was also very nervous, was a little more confident.

As a warrior of Durmstrang, he should have obtained a lot of information about the background of illusion from his headmaster.

At this point, Karkaroff had returned to the referee’s bench and continued to speak.

“Because it is a fantasy space co-evolved by sacred objects and secret realms, you will not suffer real fatal damage in it.

However, some special items in the illusion can be brought out.

But you have only one chance, once you die, you will be spit out by the illusion.

After you come out, the judges will score you according to the value of the items you brought out. ”

After Karkaroff finished speaking, Bagman continued to host.

“Okay, thank Principal Karkaroff for his introduction.

Next, let’s have the first warrior Bruce Stewart and the dragon he challenged enter the arena together. ”

Following Bagman’s words, Bruce walked out of Clark’s team.

It’s just that most of the people present turned their attention to the other side of the field.

There, several dragon trainers headed by Charlie, holding their wands high and controlling the large iron cage with fire dragons, walked in slowly.

The Swedish short-nosed dragon in the cage was still in a coma, but its silver-blue body still caused the little wizards in the stands to exclaim.

Charlie and the others moved the iron cage with the fire dragon to the front of the flame portal.

It seemed to sense the approach of the fire dragon, and the blue flame on the door began to spin rapidly, forming a huge flame vortex.

Countless flame tentacles stretched out from the vortex, wrapped around the body of the Swedish short-nosed dragon, and swallowed the dragon eggs in the cage together.

After swallowing these things, the flame portal seemed to be full, and the rotation speed of the vortex began to slow down.

At this time, Bagman shouted, “The first warrior, you can go in. The other warriors, please return to the waiting area!”

Bruce trotted and plunged into the huge flame space door.

This time, the conditions seemed to be completely fulfilled, the flame vortex stopped directly, and the huge blue circular portal became smooth like a mirror.

Some vague shadows also began to appear on the mirror, which seemed to be a large screen displaying the content of the environment.

And this is what Clark and the others saw before they got into the tent.

The three sat down in the tent again, listening to the movement outside.

It was worse than they had imagined, the crowd was like a continuum with many heads, screaming… shouting… gasping .

Krum still stared at the ground, and Fleur now followed in Bruce’s footsteps, pacing circle after circle in the tent.

Bagman’s commentary made everything worse…”Wow, so dangerous, so dangerous.”…”His move is so dangling!”…”Clever way—too bad it didn’t work!”

Suddenly, Krum, who has been taciturn, said, “The Ring of the Nibelung!”

“What?” Furong, who was paying attention to the outside world, stopped immediately when she heard this.

However, after saying this sentence, Krum continued to return to the state of silence, as if the sentence just now was just a hallucination of Fleur.

Fortunately, Clark then followed Krum’s words and said: “The Ring of the Nibelung is a large-scale musical composed and written by the German musician Wagner.”

“Large-scale musical! What the **** is that?” Furong looked surprised.

“That is to say, the background of our first competition was based on a musical created by a Muggle.”

Clark said.

“If I guess correctly, the stack of parchments that Principal Karkaroff put into the Goblet of Fire may be the original manuscript of “The Ring of the Nibelung” handwritten by the German musician Wagner.”

“I don’t want to know who wrote that story, I just want to know, what is that story about? Can you tell me?”

Furong folded her hands together, stared at Clark with big watery eyes, and looked at Clark pitifully.

Clearly, she’s using her fascination as a half-veela.

Of course, Clark didn’t eat that.

But since Krum revealed all the background information when Bruce Stewart was away because of the union of the three schools, he naturally would not ignore the overall situation.

“The Ring of the Nibelung is the epic and legendary story of a young blacksmith, Siegfried.

In the process of creation, Wagner adapted a large number of medieval German folk narrative poem “Song of the Nibelungen”, mixed with many ancient Norse mythological epics, and some historical heroic stories of Iceland.

The whole story is grand and complex, and is mainly divided into four parts, namely: “Rhine Gold”, “Valkyrie”, “Siegfried”, and “Twilight of the Gods”.

The plot revolves around gold at the bottom of the Rhine…”

Outside the tent, Bagman’s explanation continued, and Furong was very anxious, but she could only patiently listen to Clark continue the story.

According to legend, in Norse mythology, the world is supported by a huge world tree.

On the world tree, it is divided into three layers, with a total of nine kingdoms, and each race thrives in the nine worlds.

Among them, in Niflheim, a foggy country full of mists, that is, “Nibelungen”, there is a family of dwarfs.

Nibelung gnomes are small in stature and ugly in appearance, but they are known for crafting a wide variety of ingenious and powerful implements, imbuing them with magical powers and curses.

One day, the dwarf Alberich was so restless that he left his hometown and went to the atrium of the nine worlds, that is, the kingdom of mankind, to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.

When he came to the Rhine, he saw fairies living in the Rhine.

In the eyes of this dwarf who lives alone all the year round, these fairies are so youthful and beautiful.

Under the reflection of the shimmering river water, their wonderful bodies shone with seductive curves, like the dewdrops that shone with colorful radiance in the morning.

The dwarf Alberich fell in love with these fairies instantly and pursued them wildly.

However, with his ugly appearance and short stature, he is destined to be just a loser in this love game.

Alberich’s admiration was ridiculed and despised by the fairies of the river, who rejected him thousands of miles away.

Faced with such a situation, Alberich, who was repeatedly tortured by the flames of love and desire, lingered on the banks of the Rhine, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Over time, the dwarf, humbled by love, gradually learned why fairies lived in the Rhine.

It turned out that these fairies have been guarding a piece of gold that has been here since the creation of the world.

That gold has powerful magic power, and it is the embodiment of the origin of the world that collapsed when the world was created.

Once crafted from this gold, it has magical powers.

And if you use this gold to make a ring, you can connect with the supreme authority in the origin of the world.

But the fairies were not worried that someone could steal the gold.

Because if you want to take away the gold nurtured by the source power of this world, you must exchange the more precious and rare “love” as a price and sacrifice.

After learning the news, the fire of power inside the dwarf Alberich **** the fire of love.

He gave up the right to love and be loved, abandoned his “humanity”, and finally succeeded in stealing the gold of the Rhine at the cost of it.

Having obtained the gold, Alberich returned to Niflheim (Nibelungen), the land of fog, and with the help of his younger brother Mime, created a magic ring that could manipulate the supreme power of the world.

That is, the Ring of Nibelung that can gain supreme power.

Unfortunately, this artifact that can communicate with the origin of the world and control the supreme authority is not something that a dwarf in the lower world like Alberich can covet.

When the ring of Nibelungen was forged, Odin, the god-king in Asgard, the domain of the gods of the nine worlds Aesir, sensed its existence.

In order to ensure that his status as the king of the gods would not be threatened by the Nibelungen Ring, Odin first paid Freya, the **** of love and beauty, to invite the giants to help build the majestic Valhalla Valhalla.

Then, on the pretext that he could not give up Freya, the **** of love and beauty, he found Loki, the **** of fire and tricks, who was also a giant, and sent him to stir up the fire of the giants’ desire for power.

When men have to choose between love and power, they always give up the former because they choose the latter.

Loki, the **** of fire and tricks, came to Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, and told the giants the legend of the Rhine gold and the Nibelung ring according to the teachings of Odin.

During this period, Loki exaggerated the ring and successfully aroused the desire for power of the giants.

So they agreed to Odin’s conditions and agreed to release Freya, the **** of love and beauty, in exchange for the Aesir supporting them to capture the ring of Nibelungen and helping them resist the intervention of the Vanir Gods.

After signing a contract with Odin, the giants set off to Nibelungen, the land of fog, and with the help of Alberich’s younger brother Mime, the dwarf, managed to find his brother.

Because Ymir, the ancestor of giants, was conceived before chaos opened up, and was the source of the birth of the world.

Therefore, they will not be restrained by the Nibelungen Ring, which is connected to the origin of the world and holds supreme power.

Therefore, under the mighty power of the giants, the dwarf Alberich lost the ring, which symbolized endless power.

And just before the ring was taken away, the gnome craftsman also completed the final process of forging their race.

That is to put a curse on this golden ring at the cost of life—everyone who wears this ring will surely die.

For this so-called curse, the arrogant giant family did not take it seriously.

But retribution soon came.

When the giants faced the many treasures and Nibelung rings plundered from the gnomes, they also fell into the endless thirst for power and wealth.

In the face of these things, none of the giants can keep their cool, they quarrel first, then abuse.

In the end, the giants actually fought each other for the ring that represents the supreme power.

In this brutal and **** slaughter, the earth of the Nibelung was shattered by the mighty might of the giants, and the sky was torn apart by the aftermath of their battle.

Even if the entire Nibelungen world was on the verge of destruction, the giants still did not give up killing each other. The desire to kill and greed completely blinded their eyes, and countless giants went one after another for this small golden ring.

Eventually, a giant named Fafnir got the ring.

And when he stepped on the corpses of his tribe and excitedly put on the ring, the dwarf curse attached to the ring, coupled with the resentment of the dead giants, turned the giant Fafnir into a huge dragon.

“So, what we saw in the flames just now is that after the giant Fafnir obtained the Nibelungen Ring, he turned into a dragon?”

After Furong listened to Clark’s story, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com asked.

Clark nodded, “That’s right, the time node in that historical fantasy should be after “Rhine Gold” and before “Valkyrie”.”

At this time, almost fifteen minutes had passed, and Clark could already hear it, and there was a sparse applause from outside.

This can only mean one thing: Bruce Stewart has successfully passed the test of illusion and brought out the treasure from it.

“Excellent indeed!” Bagman shouted, “Now let the referee score!”

However, he did not call out the score aloud, which should have been the referees holding up the score for the audience to see.

“One is down, there are three more!” Bagman shouted when the whistle sounded again, “Miss Delacour, please come on!”

Furong, who was about to continue to ask Clark about the illusion, shuddered when she heard this. She could only clench the wand in her hand. In the sound of Clark’s blessing, she left the tent with her head held high.
