Nordic myth is a very special myth system, which is more popular in Scandinavia and was born later than the rest of myths.

And it is different from ancient Greece, Egypt, China, and Indian mythology. For example, their gods are not omnipotent, and the world is not eternal!

The dusk of Ragnarok is probably the most famous story, and the end of the world is inevitable.

Fenriel, who can devour heaven and earth, and the snake Yemenggard, together with the evil god Loki, jointly created the dusk of the gods, and composed the most sad and beautiful battle scene in the history of mythology.

When the gods die, the whole world sinks to the bottom of the water, but the world will eventually recover and mankind establishes a new world and order.

In Nordic mythology, the entire universe is divided into nine worlds, that is, three classes, upper, middle and lower, connected by the world tree!

The upper level is the Elf Kingdom, the Kingdom of Gods, the Warner Gods' homeland, Warner Heim.

Located in the middle level is the atrium of the Kingdom of Humanity, also known as Midgart. In addition, there are the Kingdom of Giants, Jodonheim and the Kingdom of Misty Neforheim.

The lower level is Mosbelheim, the country of flame, Savenfheim, the country of death, and Heim, the underworld.

However, the creation myth of Nordics is now only preserved in Iceland, and the remaining private chats are only the Eda Sutra and some scattered epic legends!

Zhang Chu read it with relish. He didn't know much about this myth before. Now, after reading it carefully, he gradually discovered the inner connection between it and the new book "Lord of the Rings" he was going to write.

That's right, he is planning to bring Tolkien's masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" in the fantasy history!

When it was on Earth, that work was famous and had countless supporters around the world.

"The Lord of the Rings", also known as "The Lord of the Rings", is a long work created by British writer and linguist John Ronald Riel Tolkien, and is considered to be the originator of modern fantasy literature.

The book is divided into three parts, namely the Protective Alliance, the Twin Towers Ark and the Return of the King.

To describe the whole story in one sentence, it tells the story of people of all races in Middle-earth who united to resist the dark demon king Sauron in pursuit of freedom.

According to legend, the Middle Earth world has twenty power rings, the three elves, the seven dwarf rings, the nine human rings and the supreme rings.

The Supreme Lord Ring can control and control the rings. If the Supreme Realm is destroyed, the other rings will also lose their effect.

Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit in Charles, inherited the Lord of the Rings from his uncle, while Gandalf believed that the Rings needed to be sent to the crack of the Doomsday to be destroyed.

So they set out from Charles, escaped from the Dark Knights, escaped the claws of the old willow tree, escaped the damage of the tomb corpse demon, was attacked by Saruman in the Mist Mountains, and encountered the Flame Demon at the Murray pressing mine. Later, after experiencing Roslorian and Thorbrandil, the Ring Expedition Team parted ways.

Frodo and Sam passed through the Death Swamp, the Gate of Modo; Merry and Pipin entered the Fargon Forest; Gandalf and Aragon arrived at the Rokhanate Kingdom, and then passed through the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley and the Way of Death, they finally destroyed the ring!

There is also the previous work "The Hobbit", which will not affect reading "The Lord of the Rings" if you don't read it.

Many Chinese people think that "Lord of the Rings" is a bit similar to "Journey to the West". They are all people who go to a place after many hardships, and ultimately they all defeated evil. One is the pinnacle of Eastern fantasy, and the other is the pioneer of modern Western fantasy.

Of course, this similarity is just a matter of staying on the surface, and is actually two completely different works.

Zhang Chu chose to bring out such a heavyweight work in order to stabilize his global popularity after "The Da Vinci Code"!

Only such classic enough and exciting enough works can hold back.

No matter which era it is placed, the Lord of the Rings can bring out charm.

What he has to do is not to destroy this rare movie.

Therefore, Zhang Chu did not start writing rashly. He just had this idea now and absorbed as much nutrients as possible.

There is already fantasy in the world now. Even if "Lord of the Rings" can no longer be a pioneer, it can still become a master of greatness and show an unprecedented world that is free from reality!

Mr. Tolkien designed languages ​​specifically for Middle-earth. After all, the old man was a linguist, and his language system like Elf Language is very complete, and he can even use them to conduct daily conversations.

There are many enthusiasts from the Lord of the Rings abroad who have become elves in osplay and chat in Kunya and other languages!

How could it be possible for not being a real hardcore to do this?

The New York Times once commented that Tolkien was a creator who used the Lord of the Ring to create a space-time and space comparable to any other mythological system, a civilization similar to history!

The Scottish nation's own myth was lost in the war changes, and Tolkien himself recreated the myth of a nation!

When Zhang Chu thought of the work being presented in his hands, he was extremely excited and extremely frightened.

He wants readers in this world to feel the vastness of Middle Earth, and to feel the shock and love he was when he was studying.

Rather than being an author, he is a book promoter who recommends his favorite works to thousands of readers.

The elements of the story of "Lord of the Rings" mainly come from Nordic myths and the Bible.

Zhang Chu read the Bible when he was writing "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi", and he studied it dozens of times when he was writing "The Da Vinci Code".

Even if you are not a devout Christian, you have memorized some of the comments in it!

So now his focus is on Nordic mythology.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it!

There are many familiar contents in the Chinese and English bilingual version of "Detailed Explanation of Nordic Myths".

Let’s put the gods like Thor and Loki aside. The word elves in Norse mythology is exactly the same as in the Lord of the Rings, but there is a different letter!

Even the name Gandalf has been found in Nordic mythology, which means an elves waving a magic wand. However, in Nordic mythology, Gandalf is a dwarf, and his identity is a dwarf but his name is an elves.

The obvious connection is not only that. The word Middle Earth, the names of all dwarves, are also derived from the documents of this myth!

When Zhang Chu saw those familiar names in the detailed explanation of the myths in front of him, the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Chapter completed!
