I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

"The treasure of the Nibelungs?" Cage frowned, "Isn't that a legend?"

"It's not a legend." Hei Lang struggled to get up, his eyes blazing, "It really exists. There is a group of people who have been looking for this treasure for nearly a hundred years.

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

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

"There is another one." Heilang said in a low voice, "Since it is the treasure of the Nibelungs, then naturally it needs the Nibelungs to open it."

"Are they Burgundians?" Cage said, "Aren't there a lot of them here?"

Heilang shook his head, "Although there are many people near the Rhine who claim to be Burgundians, they have been intermarrying with foreigners all year round. In fact, their blood is not so pure for a long time."

"Then following this requirement, wouldn't it be like finding a needle in a haystack?" Cage complained, "This was all hundreds of years ago."

"But... they still found it." Hei Lang whispered, "They took my sister."

Cage was silent for a moment and said, "Is it also that group of people?"

Heilang nodded, "I am more accustomed to calling them the Nightmare Order. They have been entrenched in Europe for hundreds of years and have their own power in many places.

We don’t know their teachings or what they believe in. We only know that they are looking for this treasure.

Three years ago, they killed my whole family and kidnapped my sister. I was the only one who survived because I was abroad.

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

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

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

"Did you get the key back?" Cage asked curiously. He seemed not to be afraid of the mysterious organization Heilang mentioned. On the contrary, he was very interested.

Heilang nodded, "But unfortunately, it was taken back again."

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

His dark 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 to open the treasure, as long as the treasure is opened, your sister will be useless and her life may be in danger."

Heilang was silent for a moment and said, "They are very good at hiding their traces. We investigated for a long time before we obtained these clues.

Now that the key has been taken away by them, their goal is about to be achieved, and it will only become more hidden. "

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

"You mean to find the location of the treasure directly?" Heilang obviously understood what Cage meant, "But the Nightmare Order has been looking for nearly a hundred years, and we are just starting to look for it now. Isn't it too slow? "

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

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

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

This was also the reason why he had to say so much to this stranger whom he had known for less than a day.

Now, that seems to be the case.

"Don't believe it." Cage said firmly, "I am an adventurer. What I am best 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 table on one side and handed it to Heilang.

"I just want to prove something."

Hei Lang took the note and opened it to read. The contents were very miscellaneous, including myths and some local legends, but they were basically about mysterious things.

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

Heilang nodded, "I believe it."

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 glimmer in Heilang's eyes, but there were no words.

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

Our family is actually a magic family, but for some unknown reasons, magic disappeared from this world, and our family lost its mysterious power.

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

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

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

My father was depressed because of this and passed away when I was twelve years old.

He is indeed a liar. "

Cage looked at Heilang and said, "But my ancestors are not. Their shame needs to be washed away by me. This is why I have been looking for traces of magic.

The Treasure of the Nibelungs is a legend with a magical background that I won’t miss. "

"It seems that our purpose is the same." Hei Lang's eyes flashed and he raised his hand, "Happy cooperation."

Cage looked at him in surprise, "You believe me so easily?"

"It's not you I believe." There was an unknown depth in his dark eyes, "What I believe is the person behind you."

Cage frowned in confusion, but it was clear that Hei Lang had no intention of continuing on this topic, and instead said.

"Let's exchange information."

After a pause, he said, "From my understanding, the Nightmare Order has a relatively general guess about the specific location of the treasure, but the details have not yet been determined."

Cage thought for a moment, "In the final legend, Hagen threw the treasure into the Rhine."

Heilang said helplessly, "The Rhine River is more than a thousand 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?"

Heilang pondered 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?"

Heilang nodded.

"What does it mean"

"Are English capital letters uppercase or lowercase?" Cage asked.

"capital."

"If it is capitalized, it may represent a place name or a person's name." Cage murmured thoughtfully, "The Rhine River is in Germany. What if we translate it from English to German?"

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

"Don't forget." Cage's eyes flashed with a little light, "That era was probably hundreds of years or even two years ago from us. At that time, they still used Old English."

Hei Lang also seemed to realize something, "But how do you spell soft-spoken Old English?"

"lorlen." Cage said the word, even spelled it out.

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

For example, patterns and the like. "

Hei Lang frowned and recalled, "There seems to be some patterns, like a stone?"

"Reef?" Cage said.

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

Cage's eyes flashed, "In ancient Celtic language, the spelling of reef is 'Ley', and 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 local legends, there once was a small waterfall with rapid water flow in the Lorelei Rock Mountain. The water of the waterfall formed many echoes, sounding like something coming from the rock mountain. Whispering voices,

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

The water here becomes turbulent and shipwrecks are prone to occur.

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

When the sailors sailed here, they were seduced by Lorelei's charming singing. They always looked up at the top of the cliff and allowed the strong current to rush the ship to the rocks. As a result, the ship was broken and people died. "

"Isn't it a bit far-fetched?" Hei Lang said.

"No, if you think about it carefully, this may be the most likely place to hide something in the Rhine River." Cage murmured softly, "Have you ever thought about it, although the Rhine River is more than a thousand kilometers long, it is actually The upper water depth is very shallow, only about 2.5 meters on average.

There is no way to hide such a huge treasure.

But Lorelai 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 reaches of the Rhine River. "

Heilang seemed to realize this, and he looked at Cage excitedly when he realized that they had another clue.

"You helped me a lot, Cage!"
