Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 489 14. Collection +1

There are many, many secrets hidden in this world.

Some of them should not be interpreted, let alone disclosed.

Crazy lunatics like nacui also know that before their own defeat, they must keep the terrifying secret intact and wait for a comeback one day. This is a secret that makes lunatics feel scared.

Uh, if you count the sealed Titans on the other side of the base, then there are two secrets.

In short, when this nacui base in Antarctica was sealed in 1942, these two secrets were covered up by them for 71 years, but unfortunately, they were finally exposed.

Is this good or bad?

No one knows, at least for now, no one knows.

Merlin opened the final secret room of the nacui base. Amidst the heavy steel interlacing sound, there was a chilly atmosphere, as if a dusty icehouse had been opened.

The air in this space that has been closed for 71 years is not very pleasant. The windbreaker behind Merlin was blown and rattled. He reached out and tapped the pendant on his chest, and the light blue breathing mask was put on him. face.

In front of his eyes, the entire cylindrical chamber was covered with ice shards. Those shiny ice cubes seemed to have their own consciousness, and they seemed to be some kind of plant, growing wantonly in this closed space. .

The ice cubes that covered every inch of the ground made the room look like a crystal palace.

But no matter how beautiful the scene is, it can't hide what is really important in this room.

In this cylindrical secret room, there is actually only one thing.

A war hammer.

A hammer mounted on a white boulder, or a block of solid ice.

Its simple shape looks like a classical two-handed warhammer, but it can also be held with one hand.A circle of runes is engraved on the golden handle, and at the connection between the handle and the hammer head, there is a golden gauntlet like a sword hilt.

Its hammer head was heavy and bulky, a black six-sided trapezoid, which looked like some kind of dense metal casting, with golden metal embellishments on the top and the other side.

It is not luxurious, at least compared to the legendary Mjolnir, it is very simple, it is fixed obliquely on the white ice, and the entire hammer head is wrapped in ice.

It looks unremarkable.

But that's just the nonsense of ordinary people.

In front of Merlin's eyes, Icarus' lens displayed the energy reading of the warhammer. The hidden power made Icarus's energy detector somewhat unbearable. Those terrifying powers did not spill out, but were like a barrier The same tightly wrapped around the surface of the war hammer.

Merlin couldn't help taking off his glasses. He activated his spirit vision, which he hadn't used for a long time. In his spirit vision, the magical light emitted by that ordinary war hammer was like a purple sun, almost blinding him. Merlin's eyes.

"A handful of wonders..."

Merlin rubbed his eyes, put on Icarus again, and said:

"Besides the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, this is the first time I've seen such a dazzling magic power gathered on one item... Is this the weapon that Nacui summoned from the other side, enough to allow them to conquer the world?"

Merlin walked around the ice-covered warhammer. He saw the runes engraved on the handle of the hammer. He pushed his glasses and looked at those runes carefully.

On the lens of Icarus, the interpretation of this sentence is progressing rapidly. Thanks to the old man Randolph's re-translation of Norse mythology, Merlin can also use the power of technology to understand these complicated Asgard Word.

"Only a true venerable can wield the Skadi Hammer."

Merlin read the words deciphered on the lens, and he looked at the hammer head again. On the gold decoration of the hammer head, there was also a line of words.

That sentence means:

"To touch it is to touch the source of fear."

"Hmm...it's not like a weapon that the heroes of Asgard would use."

Merlin rubbed his chin, looked at the quaint warhammer in front of him, and said softly:

"Randolph told me that Asgardians have the habit of engraving runes on their weapons, but most of them sing about courage and strength, but fear... well, it seems a bit strange to sing about fear."

"Maybe I can try to hold it?"

A thought quickly arose in Merlin's mind. The moment this thought appeared, it swelled at an unimaginable speed. Merlin couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold the golden handle of the war hammer in front of him.

But just before his fingers touched the hammer handle, the windbreaker on Merlin's back suddenly rolled over, and the activated symbiote Obeyowulf let out a sharp hiss, waking him up from that strange state, and he stepped back vigilantly. step.

"wrong!"

"This thing is tempting me!"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he reached out and patted the sleeve of the windbreaker, he said:

"Thanks, little one."

"Thanks, Mr. Null."

He looked at the still silent Skadi Warhammer again, this time, there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

Being able to overcome the magic power of Sangong to seduce Merlin's soul proves that the weapon in front of him is unusual. Its caster may not be as powerful as Sangong, but there is no doubt that the current Merlin cannot fight against it.

But this thing can be stored by nacui for 71 years, which proves that it is not intelligent, it is a weapon, and it needs an owner to exert its true power.

This thing looks like a beacon.

A beacon used to transmit power and will, relying on Merlin's research on occultism and black magic, he can be sure that there is a hidden manipulator behind this war hammer.

Maybe it was sealed like Gnar, the god of the abyss.

Maybe it was already dead, and only a remnant soul was left to make trouble.

But no matter which possibility it is, it is not a good choice to contact this thing rashly.

In this kind of matter, Merlin has suffered enough.

Rubbing his forehead, recalling the memory he found in the mind of the nacui fanatic, he whispered:

"Both Schmidt the Red Skull and the Führer himself tried to use the hammer, but neither Schmidt nor Hitler himself could lift it, or even pry it...that is, it was looking , or waiting, for a specific user."

"Maybe it's people who fit certain traits, the source of fear... the ones who bring fear to other people?"

"Well, that sounds like a dangerous thing."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued to browse the memories of the occult experts of the Natule Society.

He saw a cruel ceremony in the mountains of southern Germany in February 1942. Three people with blue skin were tied to a cross. Peel off the skin.

Merlin recognized those three people...they had sharp elf-like ears and skin with fine fish scales. These were Atlanteans from the bottom of the sea.

And those butcher-like members of the Thule Society made the cover of a book out of human skins that were still stained with blood. They were sacrifices, and these three Atlanteans were sacrifices, dedicated to a certain other side Sacrifice of the gods.

Looking carefully, every page in the book made of blue human skin is also made of human skin... and those complicated characters, like birthmarks, grow on those human skins superior.

Hell, the book of skeletons produced by these guys alone cost at least dozens, or even hundreds of lives.

On that crazy rainy night, the high priest of the Thule Society read the symbols of the Book of Skulls, and a purple lightning shot through the sky, bringing the crazy nacui the victory weapon they longed for.

However, the weapon did not fall into their hands, but fell into the depths of Antarctica.

That ancient memory ended here, and Merlin finally figured out the ins and outs of this war hammer.

After thinking for a while, he took out the pink wooden door from his pocket, inserted the key into it, and opened the door. Xuan Lan, the housekeeper of the mysterious house, soon appeared by the door. She greeted Merlin habitually:

"Hello, Master Merlin, you summoned me to be... Skadi Warhammer? Why is it here?"

Xuan Lan's gaze was soon attracted by the golden and black war hammer in the center of the secret room. Judging from Xuan Lan's tone, she seemed to know about it.

Merlin then asked:

"Do you know where it came from, Ran."

"Yeah, I know."

Xuanlan was silent for a while, and she said to Merlin:

"This is the creation of the gods of Asgard. Its forger has died, at least he has lost his power. That is a long story."

"Master Merlin, the advice I can give you is to stay as far away from this warhammer as possible... It is an ominous symbol, holding it rashly will only attract the hostility of the entire Asgard, especially the Careful Odin..."

"If the king of the gods knows that the Skadi Warhammer is in your pocket, my master, your peaceful life will be over."

Xuan Lan's warning made Merlin hesitate.

He looked back at the thing again, and after a moment he said:

"Lan, is this thing powerful?"

"Master Merlin, have you heard of Mjolnir?"

Xuan Lan did not answer this question directly, she described it from another angle:

"Those who hold Thor's Hammer will have the authority to manipulate thunder and lightning. If they can understand the source of divine power attached to Mjolnir, they will be able to receive the real divine blessing...Skadi Warhammer, it can be regarded as evil Mjolnir, but unlike Thor's Hammer, which symbolizes the power of thunder and lightning, this war hammer, named after the winter goddess in Norse mythology, symbolizes the power of fear."

Xuan Lan said to Merlin:

"Although one is bright and terrified like the scorching sun, and the other is dark and sneaky like the underworld, the power of the two is at the same level... What it represents is one of the existential powers of the Nine Kingdoms."

"In other words, this thing is very powerful."

Merlin closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and said:

"If Sannomiya comes to the human world..."

"Yes, master, you can use the Skadi Warhammer to easily kill the consciousness of an extraterritorial evil god coming to the world."

Xuan Lan guessed what Mei Lin wanted to say, she persuaded with a blank face:

"But you also lose yourself, and I don't recommend that."

"Compared with Cytorak's deep ruby, which one is more powerful?"

Merlin asked again.

Xuanlan didn't hesitate much this time, she said bluntly:

"Cytorak's Crimson Gem is more valuable and dangerous, compared with it, the Skadi Warhammer is not worth mentioning."

"Ah."

Merlin nodded, stroked the sleeves of the black windbreaker on his body, and asked again:

"Lan, you are a spirit, so do you know Gnar? It claims to be the god of the abyss."

"When I was born, Gnar had disappeared."

Xuan Lan truthfully said:

"But I've heard stories about the god of the abyss, Tushen, from some 'predecessors'. It is a true abyssal creature. Its existence is as weird as the ancient evil gods. It is one of the oldest beings born among the stars."

"very good."

Merlin nodded and said:

"Then which one is more dangerous, the consciousness attached to this Skadi warhammer, or the reverberation of Gnar, the god of the abyss?"

"Of course Gnar."

Xuanlan didn't know why Merlin asked these two questions, but she still explained seriously:

"Gnar once slaughtered the gods in the stars, and the black death sword that remained in the stars after it disappeared is still causing terror and turmoil one after another. As far as I know, the owner of the Skadi Hammer can be No such ability."

"Oh..."

Merlin's expression became calm, he looked at the Skadi Warhammer in front of him, and he said playfully:

"It's not as good as Gnar, Cytorak, or Sangong, so it's not a problem for me. The only thing that can be called a problem is that the Red Skull seems to have left a skeleton The book, which records the location and secrets of this warhammer, and I don’t know which hydra that book fell into the hands of.”

"But seriously, I'm looking forward to that lucky guy coming to find it, and that will give me another Hydra's heinous soul!"

Merlin flicked his fingers, and he said to Xuanlan:

"Put it in the storage room of the mystery house."

"Just put it together with Cytorak's ruby... It's my latest collection. Well, the display shelf is still empty. It seems that I have to find more things."

He stroked the sleeves of the black windbreaker, and said softly:

"I'm in trouble..."

"There is no shortage of this one!"
