Chapter 235; Asgard Library, Runes!
Kamen Rider Amazons, also known as Zongzi, is very similar to the original enemy and friend settings of Kamen Rider.
The plot is complex, dark, and bloody... In fact, from the core of human beings and cannibalism, it has a lot in common with Tokyo Shokujin.
People infected with lysogenic Amazons cells will become mutated, Amazonized, and have a great desire for protein. Humans are undoubtedly a walking protein.

After the crisis in Raccoon City was resolved, Merlin and Stark parted ways. After this incident, the Umbrella Company should have gone bankrupt, and Merlin probably didn't know which hidden laboratory he would be sent to for research.
However, Merlin doesn't care much about this. There will be parasites, fungus masters, C-virus and other more dangerous viruses in the future, so don't worry too much.
Therefore, Merlin did not stay too long and returned to Asgard.
…………
…
Asgard, fairy palace.
After finishing Frigga's class, Merlin quickly left the class and headed towards the Asgard library.
During this time, while studying the ratio and evolutionary equation of lizard potion and G virus in the world of Resident Evil, he also spent time studying in the Asgard library.
Therefore, Merlin basically didn't get much rest during this period, because the speed at which Neon played was beyond his expectation.
Because of the fight between the two major factions, the T virus has been leaked, but it is still in the mountains and has not exploded yet.
But once there are signs, the outbreak will be closer.
…………
When Merlin pushed open the huge palace door carved with mysterious patterns, he entered a luxurious hall.
It is better to say that it is a hall than the interior of a palace. There are several splendid stone pillars standing around it. Looking up, you can almost see as far as the eye can see.
There is a circle of bookshelves surrounding it, almost as high as a stone pillar, with a point at the top.
At the same time, on a row of walls that have been vacated, you can still see the murals of the past god kings of Asgard, the last one being Odin himself.
There are also many figures who have followed the lords of the past hanging in other places.
The moment Merlin entered the study, a majestic and vast atmosphere spread over him.
The murals and golden stone pillars, as well as the books neatly placed on the bookshelves around it, make this place noble without losing its ancient charm.
This is the luxury of wisdom and the ocean of knowledge!
I am like a speck of dust wandering in the universe in this magnificent study hall.
…………
After Merlin marveled, his body slowly lifted off the ground and floated toward the bookshelf above.
He needs to eliminate Asgard's historical documents first and find books about technological development and magic.
After quickly scanning a row of bookshelves, Merlin continued to fly upwards. The bottom ones contained documents about the historical development of Asgard, and then he continued upward to vaguely see books about the development of magical technology.
Keep going upwards…
After flying for who knows how long, Merlin finally saw what he wanted to see.
He glanced down and saw that the space on the ground had shrunk somewhat. Before he knew it, he had flown to an altitude of about fifty meters.
The surrounding space also became narrower and filled with books.
Looking up, I could vaguely see the top of the tower.
It seems that Asgard's collection of books is really rich. However, the records here are not all about Asgard itself. There are also many travel records of travels in the other nine realms or universes. Add in the lifespan of Asgardians, and one person can write hundreds or thousands of books. Autobiography.
In addition, there are miscellaneous records of magic, witchcraft, fighting, rare and exotic herbs...
If it's too little, it's not very reasonable.
…………
Merlin came to the bookshelf marked with magic and took a casual look. Many of them had been explained by Queen Frigga in his previous magic studies.
At the same time, there are also some magic books that are similar to those in the temple.
.........After putting the books back in his hands, Merlin turned around and searched around on the bookshelf.
At this time, he saw a somewhat special book, which was marked with rune characters.
On earth, in Germanic mythology, in order to seek higher wisdom, Odin, the father of the gods, hung himself on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, pondering the mysteries of the universe.
When he came down from the World Tree, he realized the secret of Rune.
In the first century AD, the runes written by Heimdall were spread to the earth. Then it developed into divination, prayer and other functions, that is, wizards, fortune tellers, etc.
…………
Merlin took it out from the bookshelf. The book was not very thick, about one centimeter, but it was very wide, and there was a chain on the front.
I rubbed the cover with my hand. The cover was a strange orange yellow sand pattern, like a barren starry sky. The material looks like it is made of polished bark.
Continuing to look down, the author's famous figure in the middle is Odin.
When trying to open it.
"Crash!" The chain on the cover suddenly trembled, and the book was directly locked.
Merlin looked at it in confusion, then thought of something, and quickly took out the silver key that Frigga gave him.
Then he slowly approached.
Sure enough, the chain fell off as if it had found a matching key.
Raising his eyebrows, Merlin took back the silver key and opened the cover.
…………
"Nine nights hanging on a tree swaying in the wind,
Wounded by spears; I was sacrificed to Odin,
Sacrifice yourself to yourself, on a tree that no one knows about!
No bread to satisfy hunger, no raindrops to quench thirst,
I looked down and picked up the runes,
Picking it up and shouting, it fell from the tree. "
…………
Runes are what they are called on Earth, because runes represent mystery, that is, the mystery of the universe.
But it was created by Odin, so it must be prefixed with his own name.
So it is also called the Odin Rune.
…………
There is a warning at the end.
"Power does not only have one dimension. Even if the runes are full of blessings, as long as the starting point is wrong, it will cause horrific imbalances..."
There are also many records about rune magic in the temple, but they are not detailed.
In runes, each word is composed of vertical lines and 45-degree diagonal lines. Mostly used for prayer or blessing.
There are some explanations in the front. When I turned to the third page, I finally came to the main text.
HABALL symbolizes tranquility and contemplation. It is a slow and steady evolution that can provide a high degree of security. Magic will continue to develop in a stable state and can prevent negative forces. of invasion.
Niederun symbolizes your own desires, also known as liberation runes. You can escape to the state you want based on your own desires and your own willpower as the starting point.
The Rune of Intention to Kill symbolizes the synthesis and balance of the self, shrinks or concentrates the developed energy, avoids the emergence of dynamic energy, calms any sudden events, actions, and situations, and concentrates self-awareness.
Uruzrunn symbolizes peaceful nature. It will provide power to the long-sluggish state, but it will not change drastically, but will drive it in a gentle state. Combined with other runes, it can summon a variety of natural forces.
Surisazluen is a defensive force that also has a guiding role. When an enemy attacks, he can return the original amount of the attack, and at the same time, the returned attack will be doubled. It is a pure, unplanned, distorted force of will.
Kenaz Rune, this is a gentle flame rune. It promotes learning and creativity, and can also bring vitality to individuals or dispel dark energy.
