I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 150 Lorelai

"The Treasure of the Nibelungen?" Cage frowned, "Isn't that a legend?"

"It's not a legend." Hei Lang struggled to get up, his eyes burning, "It is real, and a group of people have been looking for this treasure for nearly a hundred years.

The thing that was taken from me was one of the keys to that treasure. "

"One?" Cage was a little curious, "Are there any other keys?"

"There is one more." Helang said in a low voice, "Since it is a treasure of the Nibelungen people, then naturally it needs the Nibelungen people to open it."

"That's the Burgundians?" Cage said, "Aren't there a lot of them here?"

Helang shook his head, "Although there are many people who claim to be Burgundians near the Rhine River, they have intermarried with foreign races all the year round. In fact, their blood has not been so pure for a long time."

"According to this requirement, wouldn't it be looking for a needle in a haystack?" Cage complained, "It all happened hundreds of years ago."

"But... they still found it." Hei Lang murmured softly, "They took my sister away."

Cage was silent for a moment and said, "It's also that group of people?"

Helang nodded, "I am more used to calling them the Nightmare Order, they have been entrenched in Europe for a hundred years, and have their own forces in many places.

We don't know their teachings, nor what they believe in. We only know that they are looking for this treasure.

Three years ago, they killed my whole family and took my younger sister away. Only I survived because I was out of town.

Since then, I've been investigating the group and sabotaging their plans.

About a year ago, they even launched a coup in Venice, trying to support a puppet consul to power, but we stopped it.

However, this is just a means for them to divert attention. Their real purpose is to transport a key from the port of Rotterdam back to the Rhine Valley. "

"Did you snatch the key back?" Cage asked curiously, he seemed not afraid of the mysterious organization that Heilang said, on the contrary, he was very interested.

Hei Lang nodded, "But unfortunately, it was snatched back again."

"So, your sister is still in their hands?" Cage asked.

Hei Lang's eyes dimmed a little, and then he said firmly, "I will get her back, no matter how long it takes."

"Then you have to hurry up." Cage said, "Since they have obtained the prerequisites for opening the treasure, as long as the treasure is opened, your sister will be useless, and her life may be in danger."

Hei Lang was silent for a moment and said, "They are very good at hiding traces, we have been investigating for a long time before we obtained these clues.

Now that the key has been seized by them, their goal is about to be achieved, and they will only hide it more secretly. "

"Then, just wait for them at the destination." Cage said.

"You mean to find the location of the treasure directly?" Hei Lang obviously understood Cage's meaning, "However, the Nightmare Cult has been looking for it for nearly a hundred years, and we are just starting to look for it now, isn't it too slow? "

"That's why you don't have me." Cage said confidently.

"You?" Hei Lang stared at him, recalling what he just said in his mind.

If he really met that gentleman, then their meeting at this moment is not a coincidence.

That's why he had to say so much to this stranger whom he had known for less than a day.

Looking at it now, it seems that it is.

"Don't believe me." Cage said confidently, "I'm an adventurer, and what I'm good at is searching and investigating, especially finding treasures."

"Looking for treasure?" Hei Lang looked around with a strange expression.

"I don't care about wealth," Cage said.

He picked up a note from the side table and handed it to Hei Lang.

"I just want to prove something."

Hei Lang took the note, opened it and looked at it, the contents were very complicated, there were myths and some local legends, but basically they were all about mysterious things.

"Do you believe that in this world, magic actually exists?" Cage said seriously.

Hei Lang nodded, "I believe."

Cage looked at him in surprise and said
"You are one of the few people who believe in me. The last one was the tavern owner I met yesterday."

There was a glint in Helang's eyes, but he didn't speak.

"My ancestor was actually a magician." Cage said, "He was an advisor to the king and helped the king solve many problems.

Our family is actually a magical family, but due to some unknown reasons, magic disappeared in this world, and our family lost its mysterious power.

My father always believed in the existence of magic, so he learned a lot of so-called "magic" and made money from it.

But later, with the advent of the new era, people increasingly denied the existence of mystery.

His "magic" was dismantled with other knowledge, our family was completely labeled as a liar, and even the glory of the past was denied.

My father was also depressed because of this, and died when I was 12 years old.

He is indeed a liar. "

Cage looked at Hei Lang and said, "But my ancestors were not, their shame needs to be washed away by me, which is why I have been looking for traces of magic.

The Treasure of the Nibelung, is a legend with a magical background that I would not miss. "

"It seems that our purpose is the same." Hei Lang's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand, "We are happy to cooperate."

Cage looked at him in surprise, "Is it so easy for you to believe me?"

"It's not you that I believe in." Hei Lang's dark eyes were full of meaning, "I believe in the person behind you."

Cage frowned suspiciously, but obviously, Hei Lang obviously didn't intend to continue talking on this topic, but said.

"Let's exchange information."

After a pause, he said, "As far as I know, the Nightmare Cult has a general guess about the exact location of the treasure, but the specifics haven't been confirmed yet."

Cage thought for a while, "In the last legend, Hagen threw the treasure into the Rhine."

Helang said helplessly, "The Rhine River is more than 1000 kilometers long, and the part that flows through Germany alone is more than 800 kilometers long."

"Besides these, do you have any other information, or did you find anything on that key?"

Hei Lang thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, it seems that there are indeed some letters engraved on the key."

Cage's eyes lit up, "What?"

Hei Lang recalled, "It seems to be "Whisper softly" written in English."

"Whispering?"

Heron nodded.

"What does it mean"

"Is the first letter of English uppercase or lowercase?" Cage asked.

"capital."

"If it is capitalized, then it may represent the name of a place or a person." Cage whispered thoughtfully, "The Rhine River is in Germany. How about translating English into German?"

"Sprich leise?" Hei Lang frowned and said, "But what does this mean?"

"Don't forget." Cage's eyes flickered a little, "That era may be hundreds of years or even nearly a year ago. At that time, they still used Old German."

Hei Lang also seemed to realize something, "How do you spell the soft-spoken Old German?"

"lorlen." Cage said the word, even spelling it.

He seemed to have thought of something, but he still needed some other pieces of the puzzle, "Besides these, is there any other information on the key?
Like patterns or something. "

Hei Lang frowned and recalled, "It seems that there are some patterns, like a stone?"

"Rocks?" Cage said.

Hei Lang nodded, "Yes, it's the rock."

Cage's eyes flashed, "In ancient Celtic, the spelling of the reef is "Ley", these two words can actually be spelled into one name, "Loreley".

"Lorelai?"

Cage nodded.

"A cliff on the Rhine River in southwestern Germany, 132 meters high, according to the legend of the locals, there was a small waterfall with rapid water flow in the Lorelei Rock Mountain. whispering voices,

So the locals named it, "Whispering Reef" or "Lorelei", and if you look through my notes, I actually investigated this place as well.

At this point, the water flow becomes turbulent, and shipwreck accidents are prone to occur.

Legend has it that a beautiful girl named Lorelei threw herself into a river from the top of a cliff because of a broken love.After death, she turned into a banshee, sitting on the top of the cliff and singing a charming song.The echo here is her song.

The sailors sailed here, seduced by Lorelei's charming singing, always looking up at the top of the cliff, letting the rapids rush the boat towards the reef, and the boat was wrecked and everyone died. "

"Will it be a little far-fetched?" Hei Lang said.

"No, if you think about it carefully, this may be the most likely place to hide things in the Rhine." Cage whispered softly, "Have you ever thought that although the Rhine is more than 1000 kilometers long, in fact The water depth is very shallow, with an average of only about 2.5 meters.

There is no way to hide such a huge treasure.

But Lorelei is different. The water is 25 meters deep and 113 meters wide. Because the river is narrow and deep, that section is still the most dangerous section in the entire upper and middle Rhine valley. "

Hei Lang seemed to realize this too, realizing that they had a clue again, he looked at Cage excitedly.

"You've helped me a lot, Cage!"
