Creed of the heavens

It is also said that the cursed mist came from a dwarf craftsman named Ivaldi, after a failed weapon-making experiment turned Niflheim into a dead place.

In contrast, Lu Xiao is more willing to believe in the first legend.

A dwarf polluted the whole world because of a failed experiment. This legend is a bit too magical. Even nuclear radiation would not affect such a large area.

Ymir is the first primitive life form that appeared in Nordic mythology, the ancestor of all giants, and its status in Nordic mythology is comparable to that of Pangu in Chinese mythology.

During the ancient chaos, Odin and his two brothers Willi Heinir and Philod decided to use Ymir's huge body as a material to create a more orderly and vibrant world.

So the three brothers joined forces to challenge Ymir and successfully killed the original giant.

When Ymir fell suddenly, countless blood flowed out of his wound, and the blood merged into a river, which eventually flooded into the first great flood in Norse mythology.

After this flood, the prehistoric world of Norse mythology has undergone tremendous changes.

The remaining blood of Ymir was transformed into a boundless ocean by the three Odin brothers, his skull was made into the sky, and his torso was transformed into the earth.

Odin used the eternal fire of Muspelheim to create the sun, moon and stars, and the chaotic world has been brightened ever since.

The maggots living on Ymir's body were illuminated by the sun and turned into elves, and a giant tree with roots spreading to the nine worlds grew out of his huge corpse, that is, the world tree Yuktra Hill.

Under the erosion of the great flood, the descendants of Ymir gradually divided into two branches, living in Jotunheim and Muspelheim, the new hometown of giants respectively.

As a result, the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology finally took shape, and the world entered a period of relatively stable development, all of which stemmed from Ymir's "paying".

Of course, Ymir did not become the cornerstone of the new world voluntarily. His unwilling sigh before his death polluted the icy mist floating in Niflheim all the time, making them the current cursed mist.

"You're going to Niflheim?"

When Mimir was lost in thought alone, Lu Xiao told Brock his request.

This rude blue-skinned dwarf was gnawing on the roasted thigh of some kind of animal. Lu Xiao guessed it was the poor camel that helped him carry the goods before.

Lu Xiao doesn't have the cancer of the Virgin Mary. Although he doesn't agree with Brock's way of killing donkeys, he won't forcefully point Brock's nose to teach him what to do.

After all, the ownership of the camel belongs to Brock, and how to deal with it is his own business.

After putting down the food, Brock walked to the pile of debris beside the forging table and squatted down to search for it.

"Well, unfortunately, the anti-corrosion fabric just ran out."

"If you want to create suitable equipment, you can only provide the materials yourself."

Lu Xiao nodded and asked, "Then where can I find the materials?"

"Niflheim."

Brock shrugged: "Not all places in Niflheim are filled with the fog of curse, and very few areas are survivable."

"How about this, you go to Niflheim through the national teleportation room first, and I will tell you in detail how to collect materials when you get there."

Lu Xiao didn't know what the dwarves' talents were. They were born with the ability to communicate directly between the space channels connecting the Nine Realms.

According to Brock himself, he used the roots of the World Tree to connect to the Nine Realms to move freely. It is not known if it is true.

Coming to Niflheim through the Rainbow Bridge, Lu Xiao's first impression of this world was that it was dark.

It was not the more natural dark sky seen in Alfheim before, but it seemed to be covered by a hazy fog.

Even though it was daytime, the sun could not directly shine on the land of Niflheim.

Mimir, who is a good teacher, explained: "This is the special environment of Niflheim. The fog that permeates the whole world prevents the sun from directly shining on the ground."

"Even if there are a few areas that can survive, people usually don't come here to settle here. Niflheim simply cannot meet the requirements for the normal growth of food crops."

When walking towards the meeting point mentioned by Brock, Lu Xiao asked Mimir, "Which of the two legends is true? Ivaldi or Ymir?"

"Strictly speaking, both are true."

Mimir explained patiently: "The fog of the curse covering the great world of Niflheim comes from Ymir, and the place where Brock wants you to find the materials is the curse of Ivaldi."

Even though he was a little absent-minded, Mimir guessed what the blue-skinned dwarf was thinking through the conversation between Lu Xiao and Brock.

Brock is a born blacksmith, and his whole life has been devoted to forging.

His personal strength is not strong, and some special materials cannot be obtained by himself, including the Mist Echo and Niflheim Alloy produced in the Ivaldi Alchemy Workshop.

Echo of the Mist is a special material that was born under the erosion of the curse in the Ivaldi Workshop.

The Niflheim alloy is the legacy left by Iwadi during his lifetime. After countless years of soaking in the curse, the equipment forged with this special alloy can resist the erosion of the Iwadi curse to a certain extent.

There are no powerful enemies in this world other than the cursed fog, and the Asaphs almost never come to this restricted area of ​​life, which is relatively safe.

Lu Xiao handed over the task of exploring and collecting materials to Yongzhen and Yuzao, and left Mimir behind.

The Valkyrie of Niflheim sleeps in the depths of Ivaldi's workshop, and if you want to fight her in the cursed mist, anti-corrosion equipment is indispensable.

Lu Xiao tried to enter Ivaldi's workshop directly, and the curse did not affect him too strongly, but it would not be possible to complete the exploration of the entire labyrinth area in a short time.

The effects of the curse get worse over time.

Without anti-corrosion equipment, Lu Xiao and the others could only stay in the mist for about 5 minutes. There may be an error of about half a minute depending on the individual's physique. This time is definitely not enough to explore the entire area and defeat the Valkyrie.

Chapter 580 There is no silver 300 taels here

In order to save time, Lu Xiao plans to go to Helheim alone to search for and challenge the No.3 Valkyrie when Yongzhen leads the Shikigami to challenge the maze.

Before leaving, Lu Xiao solemnly said to Yongzhen: "This workshop is a cursed labyrinth left by the paranoid dwarf craftsman Ivaldi. You should encounter many enemies during the exploration, but the intensity will not be too high."

"Until you get enough materials to build equipment, you can only move around the periphery. Once the erosion intensifies, leave the maze and return to a safe area immediately."

"Mimir, Yongzhen and the others will be handed over to you, remember to remind them to pay attention to the time."

"No problem, it's you"

Mimir asked with some concern: "Helheim is a restricted area of ​​life in another sense. Even Odin can't resist the severe cold of the underworld. Are you really ready?"

The coldness of Helheim in the underworld is not just for the target, the double extreme cold from the soul and body is the biggest obstacle restricting the movement of living people here.

"Don't worry, I have never been afraid of the problem of the soul domain."

After Brock left the space coordinates in front of the temporary workshop built in the safe area, Lu Xiao returned to the teleportation room alone, adjusted the world ruler to the direction of Helheim to activate it.

Before walking out of the gate of Tire's temple, the biting cold wind pouring in from the crack of the door gave Lu Xiao a big blow, and even the inside of the gate of the temple could see some traces of icing.

"Whoa!"

After opening the door, an extremely desolate frozen world appeared in front of Lu Xiao.
