Chapter 492 Bring our shadow

Zikad later learned that Nibelungen can leave the country of fog.

"I'm afraid." The boy stammered.

Even with the assistance of Xinnao Mint, he still can't speak fluently, and gestures are needed to assist expression in many places.

Zikad can understand.

People trust familiar places more, but worry about unfamiliar outside world.

As a new kingdom, the Resurrection Kingdom took a lot of time and courage before taking the step towards the outside world. What's more, it is an extremely closed place like the country of fog.

"To live outside, you have to have a name."

Zicard said, "You gotta have a name."

The young man was at a loss for the name.

The Nibelungs are not distinguished from each other, because they will all become one in the end, so there is no concept of name, and there is no need to distinguish each other.

Zickard saw that he didn't understand at all, so he named him Bernie.

"Bernie."

"who?"

"No, my name is Bernie, you have to react and call me Ni."

"Bernie?"

"I!"

"now it's right."

"Father!"

"I am not your father."

"Mother?"

"You have to call me teacher."

"teacher!"

The Nibelungen family is born to be the darling of ice elements. Their blue blood is highly poisonous to most life forms. This family will only exist in Niflheim, the land of fog.

The young Bernie gesticulated, his blue eyes shining with pride: "We were born from an inexhaustible spring, and then flowed everywhere, sleeping until we woke up."

Zikad asked him: "Why are you sleeping? Why are you awake?"

"Sleeping...Because we are weak, and when we grow up, we wake up."

Slumbering under the ice will allow the Nibelungs to grow rapidly. Sleeping allows them to merge into the twelve glaciers in the Land of Mists, absorb the ice elements and toxins inside, and transform from babies to children.

But once Bernie enters the growth period, he will feel an ancient calling.

That is instinct, and the only way to continue evolving.

The Nibelungs will approach and merge with each other, just like the roots of many trees are intertwined and condensed into one body. Their consciousnesses blend and connect with each other, and their bodies are embedded in each other, and then grow into giants.

The Nibelungen who is the core will be the heart and brain, he is the main body of the giant, and other consciousnesses will become his branches and assistants.

Giants are adult Nibelungs.

Nibelungen is the juvenile body of a giant.

This is how the inhabitants of the land of fog grew up.

Bernie gnawed on a bighorn lamb chop and mumbled, "The Nibelungs are either sleeping or waiting, that's what it is."

Knowing this truth, Zikad fell into trouble.

Now it is not sure whether it is right or wrong to bring Bernie out.

According to the ancient traditions and physical needs of the Nibelungen, they must be integrated with each other in order to grow out of childhood and grow into an indomitable giant. Otherwise it is always in child form.

The giant that can grow into a full body also represents the loss of the Nibelung's self, and has become a part of the adult giant. Is this still alive?

Zickard couldn't think of an answer.

It asked Bernie: "Do you regret leaving the country of fog? If you regret, I will send you back."

"don't want."

Bernie shook his head and gnawed on the leg of lamb in his hand: "It's delicious here."

That's it.

Bernie left the country of fog and came to Sand City, staying in his youth forever.

The Nibelungen boy became Zikad's assistant. He followed Zikad here and there, through the streets and alleys, carrying bags and boxes. People quickly became familiar with such a boy with silver hair.

Bernie likes the coral crystal phase very much.

When Zikad was writing reports and revising the manuscript, he would carry corals on his shoulders and try to take pictures with waste projection crystals.

Zicard found that Bernie was very talented in taking crystal pictures, and he loved it from the bottom of his heart. So, it allowed the kid to use the coral crystal phase for realistic shots.

Just watching himself operate the device, Bernie learned to use this tool.

It didn't take long for the crystal phase taken by the boy to be clearer and brighter than that of Zikad. Bernie has a keen eye for freeze-frame images, always able to capture those fleeting precious moments.

It's like the smiles between lovers, the hungry people gnaw their first bite of wheat cake, the moment when the drinkers yelled happily, the softened eyes of the war cats when they saw the children, the back box cactus walking alone in the desert attitude

These may be scenes that everyone has unintentionally commented on, but if they are frozen and stored in the crystal, they have a certain momentary and eternal power, which can stop time in the crystal picture.

"I just thought it looked good, so I took a picture of it."

Bernie said with some embarrassment.

Zikad asked him seriously: "How did you do it?"

"Just shoot when you see it..."

"I'm talking about the shooting techniques of those crystal phases." The skeleton interviewer grabbed the thin crystal chip framed in walnut wood on the table, and looked at the opposite boy with dark eyes.

"That, is to use the lens."

Bernie carried the main device of the coral crystal phase with both hands, carefully placed it on the table, and said a little cautiously: "The interior of the crystal phase is made of coral and mirage, but the capture requires crystal lenses, and the imaging also depends on the projection crystal... crystal Mirror polishing."

According to Bernie's observation, the crystal phase imaging is very unstable, sometimes blurred, sometimes dim. In addition to the unstable light, another reason is that the clarity is different due to different distances.

Because it is hand-polished by craftsmen, each crystal lens has a slightly different curvature.

Bernie's solution is to add lenses.

Gradually white air lingered on his fingers, and these ice elements gradually shaped, condensing into a thin slice of ice that was polished and smooth.

Bernie fixed it on the crystal lens: "I control the ice element, and I can constantly adjust the arc of the ice element lens, so that I can find the most suitable distance and angle, and the image from the mirage will be clearer."

Zikad fiddled with the coral crystal phase for a while, and the verification results proved that Bernie's operation and understanding were completely correct.

"Bernie, your discovery is of great significance and will rewrite the way everyone uses crystal phase. You are a natural gifted person, but I hope you will consider ordinary people... the vast majority of the world. No one can control ice elements, even ice and snow monsters, there is no way to be as precise as you."

"Ordinary people?"

Bernie showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Isn't it only us who know? Teacher."

"Bernie."

Zikad said: "The food you like, including lamb, beef, grapes, sour raspberries, potatoes... The tribal war chess you usually play, and the books you read "Pava's Bizarre Adventure", "Crystal Empire" , the clothes and shoes you are wearing, and this coral crystal phase."

The skeleton interviewer pointed to the huge red coral.

"They are all the fruits of the labor of ordinary people."

"Everything we have today comes from the protection and divine enlightenment given by Lord Yao, but the development of Yao civilization depends on people sharing knowledge and experience with each other."

"Bernie, whether you intend to share or not, I hope you understand that the strong do not rely on strength to suppress others to express themselves, the real strong is the one who drives everyone forward."

Bernie's eyes were full of surprise: "Why? This is too difficult."

"Why?"

There was a hint of pride on Zikad's bony face: "This is the Yao people, we have always done this, we always challenge the strong and look forward. Our heroes are passed down from generation to generation, our prophets are everywhere, our apostles Always sheltering people, our gods shine as we go forward."

Looking at the half-understanding young man, the skeleton picker gently patted his thin shoulder.

So we are never afraid to embark on any unknown road, and any accidentwhether luck or danger will become our motivation.

Five years later, Bernie completed an invention.

In the name of a reporter from the Di Baoguan, he cooperated with two Shacheng scholars and led the production of [Rotating Lens].

This rotating lens is composed of several crystal pieces, which can be adjusted by rotating to make the subject clear enough.

Although it still can't match the accuracy of Bernie's own borneol mirror, it has made a major upgrade to the coral crystal phase from a technical level.

In addition, Bernie also improved the coral crystal phase.

He retained the main coral structure and two mirages as the core, greatly reducing its weight and volume, and fixed it with a square box for protection.

This new device, named [Phase Collector Crystal Phase], can be fixed with a rope, hung around the neck, or straddled diagonally like a backpack, which is very convenient.

One day, Bernie suddenly said to Zikad, "Master, I want to go back to the land of fog."

"There are still many Nibelungen people over there. There should be some of them like me who don't want to grow up and want to keep this appearance."

I want to tell them what I have experienced so that they can go the way they want.

Zikad was taken aback.

The appearance of the boy in front of him has not changed for several years, but he seems to have changed again.

There are many, many people in this world, and different people have different ideas.

Some people do everything they can to become giants, while others want to get rid of giants and keep themselves.

So did Zikad. When a large number of bone ancestors actively combined with the barnyard weed monster to obtain the ability of the bone barnyard giant, it still insisted on the original skeleton body.

There is no particular reason.

It's just that it's lighter.

After six years, Zikad took Bernie back to the country of fog.

Standing on his hometown, Bernie took a deep breath, and then he made a strange whirring sound, like the cold wind of winter, or the howl of some kind of wild animal.

Following his call, children emerged from the underground ice layer. The children of the Nibelungen crawled to the ground like moles, and they swished towards Bernie.

Yet they were waved away by the big kidhe didn't want to be a giant.

The kids all looked at Bernie curiously.

Bernie opened his arms, smiled and said something to them.

Numerous ice elements outline scenes in the sand city in the air: a sand rose garden like a steel forest, tall treants and small elves, fierce battles in martial arts tournaments, magnificent civilization giants, standing long jump players Bamboo people, battle cats that switch forms, wobbly bone ancestors, the sun, yellow sand, lakes, heavy grapes and lazy camels...

Shortly after.

A child bravely walked out of the ice fog. He stepped on the hot sand outside with his bare feet, then raised his head and looked at the blazing and bright fireball in the sky in surprise.

Then he walked out step by step.

This time only three children followed Bernie into the new world outside, but this is already a big step for the Nibelungen family to go outside.

Zikad suddenly noticed that Bernie was surrounded by a gentle white light.

is the oracle!

Bernie knelt down on the ground after reacting, chanting softly in his mouth to thank God for his gift.

Waiting for Kamui to disappear, he stood up and ran to Zikad excitedly.

"Teacher, I am a prophet!"

Zikad grinned and patted the child on the shoulder: "Good job, let's lead everyone forward!"

"yes!"

Seeing the young man's energetic appearance, Zikad felt happier than he became a hero.

It finally realized what Andre said.

Children will carry our shadows to a future we cannot see.

As parents and adults, we have to be good role models now.
