Chapter 107: Boundary Monument of Shanggu Town! The legend of the North Sea monster Kraken! (1/2)
After Nangong Yao read the ancient text on the stone tablet, the faces of the few people present showed stunned expressions one after another.
Luo Xiu was the first to speak!
He looked surprised and asked: "How do you know the meaning of these ancient words?"
Nangong Yao scratched his head, and said with embarrassment: "I was interested in ancient characters for a while, so I deliberately studied it for a while."
Nangong laughed and joked: "I didn't expect that this could make you run into dead mice. It seems that you are also useful."
Nangong Yao proudly said: "Of course! You don't underestimate me! Although you are inferior to you in cultivation, you may not know much about these infrequent knowledge of the sidelines!"
The two ridiculed each other, but Luo Xiu ignored it. Instead, he raised his head and silently looked at the quaint stone monument in front of him, recalling what Nangong Yao had said before.
The unfathomable seabed.
The sleeping giant monster of the North Sea.
When you wake up, the end will come.
Luo Xiu thought about it, then turned his head and asked, "Nangong Yao, is the writing on this stele, is it an ancient Nordic writing?"
Nangong Yao was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"
Luo Xiu smiled and said, "Guess it!"
"Because the content on this slabstone is very similar to a Nordic legend I have ever heard."
Nangong Yao's eyes flickered for a while, and he asked softly, "The legend you said...isn't the'North Sea Giant Monster', Kraken?"
Luo Xiu nodded: "So you know it too."
Nangong Yao couldn't help but laughed: "Since I have studied the ancient Norse script, I naturally have a certain understanding of Norse mythology!"
The two have made each other's guess clear to each other, but the remaining three people have a blank expression on their faces!
Nangong Lanting was embarrassed to ask directly because of his seniority, but Nangong Rou didn't have this scruples, and asked directly: "What is the Northern Sea Giant Kraken? Does it have anything to do with this stone monument in front of us?"
"There are relationships."
Nangong Yao calmly explained: "What is recorded on this ancient stone tablet is likely to be the deeds of the Northern Sea monster Kraken."
Luo Xiu nodded, and took advantage of Nangong Yao's words: "The Northern Sea Giant Kraken is a giant sea monster in Norse mythology. In Scandinavian, the name Kraken symbolizes Those'twisted, entangled' creatures, and Kraken's image, are also the same. People who have seen its true appearance usually describe it as a giant octopus or squid."
"In Norse mythology, Kraken lived near the coasts of Norway and Greenland for a long time, usually lying on the bottom of deep water, occasionally surfaced, and even attacked passing ships and hunted large marine animals such as whales."
"When it floats to the surface, some sailors will mistake its body for a small island, and even board this'island' and set up camps on it, only to be buried on the bottom of the sea when it sinks."
"There are also rumors that when Kraken is present, the end of the world is about to come!"
After listening to Luo Xiu's explanations, the faces of the few people present all looked a little dignified.
The first person who spoke was Nangong Lanting!
He looked slightly dark and calmly said: "In other words, the Nordic mythology is very likely to be true!"
"And the legendary North Sea monster Kraken is very likely to exist, even in this sea abyss secret realm!"
