Creed of the heavens

I don't know if it's because of the incompatibility of natural attributes. On the way to Ymilheim, the relationship between Tamazamae and Skadi is quite incompatible.

From Yongzhen's point of view, it is only natural that there will be differences between Skadi, who is the hunting queen, and the nine-tailed fox, who is the "prey".

Lu Xiao jokingly called this situation the dispute between the blue and green crutches.

But it was strange to say that the relationship between Skadi and Fenrir was not so tense, and the two would get together to chat from time to time.

That's right, chatting, Skadi can understand the language of animals, which is said to be inherited from her father Sharkey.

Speaking of Sharkey.

After being unsealed from the eternal ice, Skadi personally burned his father's body, planning to find an opportunity to take his ashes to the giant cemetery.

Returning to the long-lost Jotunheim, Skadi looked at the familiar majestic mountains and rivers below with emotion while rushing through the air.

"It hasn't changed at all, the scenery here is still as I remember it, but..."

Skadi frowned: "Why are there so few people? My impression is that there should be quite a few villages nearby."

When Skadi died, Odin had not yet cruelly ordered the killing of the giants in Midgard.

At that time, the communication between the giant and the outside world was very frequent, and the business exchanges promoted the connection between the giant and the Nine Realms, and also prospered the development of the giant.

After the connection between Jotunheim and the Nine Realms was completely severed, the giants could only communicate internally, and their development stagnated and declined.

The situation is especially serious in rural areas that can still rely on trade with the Nine Realms to maintain expenses.

The climate in Jotunheim is very cold. Except for the great plains near the royal court, the permafrost areas are not suitable for farming and can only be eaten by hunting.

When approaching the edge of the permafrost called the Yarki Mountains by Skadi, Lu Xiao and the others finally saw the first giant village.

Judging from the animal skins and dried animal meat hanging everywhere in the village, this should be a small village mainly for hunting.

After landing about one kilometer in front of the small village, Lu Xiao and the others entered the village on foot.

There are less than 3 houses in the whole small village, and there are almost no people in the village in broad daylight, only [-] children who look no different from humans are playing around in the village.

The bleak cold wind blows from the main passage in the village, and some of the open gates make an unpleasant "creaking" sound. It is obvious that the wooden structure of these gates is very decayed.

Yuzao asked puzzledly: "Why is it so depressed? Didn't it mean that the giant is a powerful existence in the Nine Realms second only to the Asaph and Warner protoss?"

Mimir corrected it: "Strictly speaking, the fighting ability of giants is no worse than that of the gods. There is no such thing as the second largest. It is just a smoke bomb deliberately released by Odin."

Giants have no divinity and divine power, but their special power endowed by the rules of the world can penetrate the protection of divine power and directly hurt the members of the gods.

Perhaps this is caused by Ymir's resentment, or it may be the restrictions imposed on Asgard by the world's rules, making the giant a natural enemy of the Protoss.

Mimir mentioned many times that the giants are a peaceful race, and they don't want to be hostile to Asgard.

Odin's coveting of the giant's prophecy ability and his fear of the giant's combat power are the most fundamental reasons for the breakdown of the relationship between the two parties.

Lu Xiaoying glanced around the village with her eagle eyes. Counting the three underage children, there were less than 10 people in the whole village. Except for the three children, they were all concentrated in the largest building in the village.

"Let's go and ask."

Lu Xiao pushed behind Skadi: "You are a local, and the task of communicating with the giant is entrusted to you."

"Do not touch me!"

Skadi turned her head back and glared at Lu Xiao displeasedly: "I hate being touched by men!"

Lu Xiao spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, I was the one who was abrupt, please go hunting queen."

'Is this suffering from male phobia?Odin is truly sinful. '

Chapter 606 Not All Village Chiefs Can Be Weapons

"Village chief! We must think of a way. If this continues, the people in the village will starve to death sooner or later!"

"What can you tell me to do? There are only so many natural resources nearby. The farther you are from the village, the higher the risk of hunting. Have you forgotten how Anka disappeared?"

Just approaching the village hut, Skadi heard a heated argument coming from the house.

"dong dong"

Skadi knocked on the door politely, and then turned her head to look in the direction where Lu Xiao, Yongzhen and the others were a little uneasy.

Lu Xiaobi's thumbs-up received Skadi's disdainful eyes, but Yongzhen's smile and encouragement made Skadi smile again.

Lu Xiao's expression was a little stiff: "Isn't this too discriminatory?"

"Be content, brother."

Mimir gloated and said, "At least she can still face up to your existence, and doesn't completely ignore you as a transparent creature."

"To shut up."

About 5 minutes later, Skadi walked out of the village chief's hut and waved to several people.

The head of this small village is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his 30s, although his actual age is definitely not this number.

"Welcome travelers to Langham Village, I am Village Chief Langham."

You can guess from the names of Xiaocun and the village chief, and the village was established by the village chief.

Lu Xiao and the others saluted the village chief politely, and most of the nearby giants looked at them with curious and expectant eyes.

what happened?This attitude is a bit strange.

Langome saw the doubts of Lu Xiao and the others, and explained with a smile: "Everyone, please don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, we are just happy that the prophecy is about to come true."

"prophecy?"

"Yes."

Langham said solemnly: "This village was established more than 100 years ago. After Jotunheim was closed to the outside world, our life has been very difficult."

"I once traveled long distances to Ymilheim to ask the help of the sages, and one of the sages told me that in the future, a woman of the same clan will lead her fellow travelers to solve the problems that have plagued us for a long time."

Lu Xiao frowned, and exchanged glances with Mimir on Fenrir's back.

In Mimir's words, as an outsider, Lu Xiao will not be directly predicted, but can only appear in the prophecy indirectly.

It now appears that Skadi's resurrection has been predicted by the giant's sages long ago, so the sages will tell the village chief Langham about her prophecy.

"correct."

The village chief thought of something, left Lu Xiao and the others behind and went to the cabinet to search for it.
