You and me under the world tree

Because the body is too heavy and the body is huge, it has no way to break free and stretch out, so it can only surround the atrium, curl up its body, and form a posture of biting its tail.

However, it can actually poke its head out.

Although the body cannot be completely separated from the sea surface, at least the part of the head can be exposed. This is not only a legend, but the words of Siegfried and the "Rule of Silence" in the northern seas have also confirmed this point.

At least Yemengade is not a giant snake that is so attached to Buddhism that it doesn't care about anything. It can move.

Then the problem is coming...

"Snakes can squirm their bodies, and they can even make no sound, so why is Yermungandr just a... legend for so long?"

A very simple suspicion. Although it sounded a bit convoluted, the witch still understood what he wanted to say.

"That's right. After all, theoretically speaking, Yermungandr can indeed raise his head anywhere."

"Then why?"

"Because it is bound to cause panic when it raises its head, not to mention the gods, the elves may attack it immediately."

Elf...

If the witch didn't mention it, Hodder would have almost forgotten about this race that is theoretically second only to the gods.

Although there are indeed elves among the player's optional races, like dwarves, this is theoretically nothing more than a 'hybrid' that highlights the characteristics of elves.

From the perspective of game background or legend, the frequency of appearance of elves is much lower than that of dwarves.

They are subordinate to the gods in setting, and their country: Alfheim is just under Asgard.

But just like the dwarves' standard "seeing the light to die", the elves actually have a similar weakness-they rely on the light.

Once pure elves do not see the light for a long time, they will fall into a symptom of madness.

For this reason, it is impossible for them to stay in the atrium world for a long time.

For true pure-blood elves, Alfheim, where the warm and peaceful light shines 24 hours a day, is the most suitable environment for them to live in.

"I hear they are the vanguard of the gods."

"It's true to say that, and the brilliance can also enhance their strength. With the help of powerful weapons, Yemengard may not be able to resist this kind of attack."

Then, the witch paused.

She probably felt that her words were suspected of belittling the worldly python, so she shook her head.

"However, that would probably be a catastrophic battle. Whether it is elves, humans or Jormungandr, if you want to kill that giant python, no matter if it is Midgard or Yalfheim, it will definitely cost a lot." price."

"So, no one wants to gamble on this, do they?"

"Um……"

Then why is it possible in the northern seas?

If it is said that the giant snake is unwilling to break this delicate balance and is unwilling to emerge in other places in Midgard, then why can it "rule king" without any scruples in the northern sea?

Is it because no one goes there?

No, it would be better to say...

"Ms. Vanadys, is there some kind of... cooperative relationship between the Queen of Death and Yermungandr?"

After all, Hodder is unwilling to leave any omissions in words. The folklore here does not explain the origin of Jormungandr's blood, so Hodder will not make mistakes in this regard.

Step by step and slowly is the kingly way!

On the other hand, after hearing his question, the witch couldn't help being surprised.

His head was spinning really fast.

She was a little relieved, but also inexplicably bitter in her heart.

She could see that although the child in front of her wanted something from herself.

However, she could still feel the strangeness in the words.

That cautious attitude seems to be engraved in his bones, and every word needs to be carefully considered.

This attitude was actually very hurtful to her, but she couldn't say it.

So in the end, the witch just turned her attention to what he had said.

"Partnership, you are right to say that."

"In other words, the northern sea exists only for the worldly python... right?"

"Yes."

"But why? Why did the Queen of Death do this?"

Then, Vanatis closed her beautiful eyes again.

"Yeah, why, maybe the queen of death has a plan?"

The witch responded in this way, but Hodder's face remained unchanged.

"Really?" His entire expression was hidden under the helmet, which even the witch couldn't see clearly, "I thought Jormungandr and the Queen of Death were siblings or sisters."

When she heard Hodder say that, Vanatis couldn't help clenching the hand placed under the table.

Although she was wearing ordinary robes at the moment, she looked like a witch, but at this moment, the muscles under her sleeves suddenly tensed up.

Vanadys, herself is an excellent fighter.

Calm down, he was just thinking randomly.

"Why do you think so?" She asked after quickly adjusting her tone and attitude.

"You said before that the worldly python knows the language of giants. I was wondering if he is a giant or something, or one of his parents is a giant. It just so happens that the ruler of the kingdom of death is also a giant."

Wait, why did he know the identity of the queen of death.

After all, the witch is quite sharp, she caught the unusual part of that person's words in an instant, and this was enough to make her very vigilant.

The origin of the former three brothers and sisters is not known to many people, and it is unlikely that the gods would share this information with mortals.

So where did he find out about it?

"Is she...a giant?"

However, no matter how shocked she was in her heart, at least she shouldn't show such surprise in front of Hodder.

So, she simply changed the angle.

"The queen who ruled the underworld turned out to be a giant?"

"Well, this is what the God of Wildfire told me."

Then, all doubts were solved.

"He attacked us a long time ago, and I chopped off his head."

Perhaps it was because there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so Huo De simply said these words.

"He talked a lot, among which he mentioned that he would never die no matter what, because his daughter is the ruler of the kingdom of death. Now that I think about it, there is only the queen of death."

Loki...

Thinking of this name, that cynical face appeared in the witch's mind.

Speaking of which, since she drifted away from her husband, she rarely saw that man.

What is he planning?

Or was he just casually talking hi there?

Among the protoss, it is estimated that not many people can fully understand this guy's mind.

"Perhaps." With all her heart and mind, the witch said the same on the surface, "I don't dare to speculate about the gods."

I'm afraid there is no way to go deeper into this topic...

Chapter No.17: Giant

impeccable...

After finishing the previous question and answer with the witch and successfully getting the few pitiful life skill points, Huo De couldn't help but have such guesses and thoughts in his heart.

In fact, Huoder had doubts about the witch who appeared suddenly.

During the conversation, he could see that the witch was very knowledgeable, and felt that there was nothing in the world that she didn't know.

However, just like this, she didn't leave anything to talk about to others.

She strictly followed the calling of the mortal wizards (human beings) to the gods, and did not call them by their first names, but called them by various titles.

Even in those moments when she's already brooding, she's verbally perfect.

And because of this reason, it was difficult for Hodder to control her thoughts.

Unable to know what the other person was thinking, he even began to wonder if he was thinking too much.

After all, at the beginning, Hodder had doubted whether the other party was one of the two protoss Warner or Asa.

After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon among the Protoss.

Even, not only Norse mythology, whether it is Celtic or Greek, this seems to have become a common problem in Western mythology.

Of course, this will not be a kind of experience. These gods in the West go to the world to make troubles all day long as if they are full and have nothing to do.

To give a vivid example, that is the childless Ingwi.

As a hero of the Volsung family, Ingwi has been suspected to be the incarnation of Frey, the ruler of the elf kingdom.

As for Odin, let alone, there are too many vests to count.

Originally, Hodder was indeed suspicious in this direction.

But now, the image created by Vanatis's meticulousness in words seems to be an ordinary witch.

As for the previous hesitation and struggle, this is also easy to explain.

After all, no matter how they say it, they are all talking about 'gods', arbitrarily linking monsters like Yemengarde and Queen of Death Hela with the Aesir Protoss.

This in itself is a form of 'disrespect'.

Mortal wizards may not have any sense of reverence for the gods, but they absolutely do not have the courage to expose their thoughts to the gods.

Not to mention "exposing their minds", they have a unique understanding of the eighteen runes on the golden shield, they would rather give up the wealth and honor in the world and hide themselves in the deep mountains and old forests. All these actions are to avoid the gods.

Huo De didn't know what was the setting in the game, anyway, the description in the legend did tend to be this way.

Then, under the circumstances that make perfect sense, Vanatis's own identity has become a mystery.

Is she really just an ordinary passing witch?

Maybe it's just living alone for too long and feeling lonely so calling random people to summon and swap stories?

After all, things like 'wizards' have always been erratic. Even in the entire Midgard, wizards rarely live with people.

They are basically nesting in the deep mountains and old forests to study the knowledge that only they may know, so it is normal for their behavior to look maverick.

Can't figure it out...

In the end, Hodder just played with the rainbow rune stone in his hand.

This piece of rune stone belonging to the witch Vanatis, which seems to have been bound to the unknown forest hut, looks no different from the casually used rune stone in the player's hand at the moment.

It seems that as long as a little magic is injected, it can understand and use.

But in the end, he still put it away.

There is no need to make another trip, after all, he has already received the most important information.

The worldly serpent Jormungandr, the ouroboros that surrounds the atrium world, can communicate in the language of giants!

"After a little delay, it's time to finish other tasks now."

Location: Northern Sea Area, Abandoned Port

It has been a week since we negotiated with the sages of Volsung and finalized the final cooperation plan. During this time, the entire abandoned port has not undergone any earth-shaking changes.

These fighters who are dubbed 'pirates' still live their daily lives.

They need to go to sea to hunt the monsters in the sea, replenish and store food for the port.
