Chapter 2857 Nidhogg’s Nest (Part 3)

The only spells Lith could detect were the elemental sealing arrays and the various security measures in place.

"No need to apologize. It's on purpose." The corridor in front of Bodya formed a sharp turn right in less than ten meters yet he changed neither speed nor direction.

Everyone had just the time to brace themselves for impact, their warnings and curses still making their way to their lips when the wall in front of them became softer than jelly. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

The new corridor they had just entered was not only perfectly lit, but also richly decorated. The surface of the ground was now rough and almost level, giving the guests the opportunity to make a stop if they wished.

The ceiling depicted a long fresco narrating Fenagar's history until one of his Emperor Beast spouses had given birth to the First Nidhogg and from there, the newborn species and its exploits were the sole protagonists of the mural.

On the walls were hung illustrations of the Nidhogg bloodline's most important achievements. Just like the paintings decorating the houses of the nobility of the Kingdom, each picture wasn't static.

It showed a short movie focused on the highlights of an event and the glory that the Nidhogg bloodline gained from it. To either side of each painting, there were alcoves hosting the statues of the main subject of the painting in both his human and Lesser form.

"There's no point making a path that anyone can follow when all the members of your family can make their own. The other corridor is just a diversion." Bodya smiled in pride at the amazement of his guests. "By the way, try to alternate between regular and Life Vision."

They did as suggested, discovering that the offspring of the Father of all Leviathans also favored less conventional forms of art.

The elemental flows they had imbued with made the paintings show a second clip while those swirling around the statues generated a harmless reproduction of each ancient Nidhogg's favorite spells.

riches and masterpieces was just a matter of time.

The entire corridor had been decorated with magical runes that had no purpose but to narrate in the language of magic how each one of the events and people depicted had altered the course of the family bloodline.

It was a spectacle reserved solely for Awakened since impressing them was much harder than a short-lived human mage. To creatures like the Nidhoggs, accumulating riches and masterpieces was just a matter of time.

In their opinion, any species incapable of doing it despite the advantage of their longevity, deserved to go extinct. So while mere light revealed mere opulence, Life Vision gave the guests concrete proof of the skill and mastery over magic of their hosts.

It impressed even Lith, both in a good and bad way.

'On the one hand, I want to do something like this for the Verhen Mansion.' He shared his thoughts with Solus and Kamila, but kept Tista out of the loop to not upset her further.

'On the other hand, the level of pride and self-entitlement the various enchantments exude is something I have only seen in the lair of a Wyvern. Either Bodya is taking us on the route reserved for unwanted guests or this is the only route, which is even worse.'

'Yeah.' Solus nodded. 'It would mean that there are no wanted guests. The Nidhoggs look down on anyone who isn't one of their own.'
