You and me under the world tree

"It's just what I heard, and I don't know the specific situation."

In the world view of the game, humans in the atrium world don't know the gods very well, and some legends circulated in it are slightly different from the actual records.

So in this regard, Hodder will not talk too much.

"The gods have always lived in Asgard, and those who can go to Asgard will never return to the Atrium without a reason."

The heroic warriors and Enheria are in Valhalla, while the lesser heroic souls serve as followers of the gods.

These people will not return to Midgard, because they are considered 'dead' after all.

"If you don't believe it, you can listen to it as a joke."

"No, I believe that it is said that the king of the gods hanged upside down on the world tree for nine days, and only then did he obtain magic and the rune characters representing magic. In this regard, I believe that before this, magic should be a giant. people's patent."

After all, if the gods knew how to use magic in the first place, in terms of 'illumination', even if Baldr, the God of Light, was not born, they would not have to go to Muspelheim to get fire at all.

There is no need to build so many devices to accommodate flames.

"In fact, in terms of the level of construction, these devices are much more fragile than those made by dwarves. I have seen stars made by dwarves, even after a hundred years, they are still shining brightly."

Gurnita Hyde...

The sight of the barren mountain in the west of the atrium for the first time is absolutely shocking, and even now, Hodder still remembers its beautiful appearance.

Though situated among the mountains, the cities of the dwarves are as beautiful as they are under a starry night.

"Perhaps, the former gods may be useless except for being able to fight."

Of course, this kind of thing is just 'maybe', 'possible'.

"I can't guarantee that what I say is right."

After all, the original gods were only Bulli and Bauer. The former was the original god, and the latter was born from the former.

"and many more……"

Suddenly, Hodder stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but look around.

The original god Buli, Bauer was born from his own body without a wife. This way of creating life seems to be...

"giant?"

Chapter 57: Turn Back, Son

Bauer was born to the first god Buli, and Bauer married the giantess Bestra as his wife. Since then, he gave birth to the god who is destined to dominate the world, and also founded the Asa protoss.

Of course, these things are just the knowledge that Hodder has obtained from reality, and these knowledge generally come from the "encyclopedia" that anyone can check or even modify.

However, what Hodder really remembered now was actually a reference post in the forum.

It was a post about the racial settings of gods and giants posted by the forum administrator and Internet shemale.

But that post is equivalent to a summary and reference.

After all, Lao Luo is one of the top players no matter what, and she is also the first person to penetrate the mission line of the northern seas and Iceland.

According to the statement she released, gods, like humans, need to get married before they can give birth to children.

After all, this is also obvious. Odin himself has the title of the king of the gods, but he has not seen his "self-separation".

At the same time, if a giant wants to give birth to an heir, it must consume its own power. This is how the Icelandic giant princess Hilda was born.

And if the giantess herself was weak, giving birth to a child would be tantamount to suicide, so Gonglu died.

According to the description in the post posted by Lao Luo, this characteristic of the giant seems to be traced back to Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giant.

As the largest and original giant, he has the ability to create life, and several children were born from his feet and armpits.

At that time, Hodder didn't think much about it.

After all, Ymir's reputation is extremely loud, and the story of flesh and blood creation is already the basis of Norse mythology.

In contrast, the original gods Buli and later Bauer were not so famous, at least definitely not as famous as their descendant Odin.

If they don't even check, it is estimated that many people will not know that Odin has the blood of the frost giant, and his mother is Ymir's granddaughter.

However, in retrospect, Hodder always felt that something was wrong.

According to Lao Luo's deduction and speculation, the gods of the protoss should not have such abilities, but Buli, the ancestor of the Asa protoss, did create Bauer.

Could it be that there is any connection between this?

For a while, Huo De always felt that his brain was getting bigger and bigger.

I'm afraid it wasn't the original races that were able to manage their own creations, but after mixing blood, they lost the ability to reproduce themselves.

"never mind."

For Hodder, it is better to stop with some unfounded speculations and brain holes.

He is still in the drama.

Because of the very close distance, Hewale, who was almost walking side by side in the corridor of the ruins, of course heard what Hodder said.

"Giant?" she asked

Because what he said didn't seem to connect at all, Hewale thought for a moment that he had discovered something new.

"Where are the giants?"

The young Pirate Queen watched, but her curiosity was not destined to be satisfied.

After all, there is indeed no sign of a giant living here, and Gain has no intention of sharing his unreliable guesses with her.

"No, I just think that if the gods were divided into classes in the first place, this is at least the place where the king of the gods lived. After all, you can overlook the 'town' below from here."

"Um……"

"The mother of the current King of Gods, do you know who she is?"

"It's the giantess Bestella."

Well, about the birth of the king of the gods, this story is of course circulated in the atrium, because this kind of thing can't be hidden.

When the gods decided to give up on killing the frost giants, they were destined to reveal part of the truth.

Because once exposed, the prestige accumulated by the gods will only decay faster.

"Well, so I was wondering if the parents of the God King would leave any traces of life here."

There are no loopholes in Hodder's remarks, so Hewaler has no doubts.

Even at this time, she herself was caught in a delicate thought.

"Traces of life... this kind of thing can't be found at all now, right?" Finally, she said, "After all, this place is underwater, and it is also a ruin that was submerged underwater when the world was created."

After all, it's been so long...

Although Hewale did not say the last sentence, the meaning of what she wanted to say has already been conveyed.

"Well, we haven't found any useful clues along the way. If there are no useful clues after that, then it means that something is affecting this place elsewhere."

For them, this is undoubtedly the worst situation.

So after hearing Huo De's words, He Huale's face became gloomy.

And, she finally shook her head too.

"The next is the last."

Eventually, they traversed several corridors and, after a few explored rooms that might have been armories, they arrived at the final location.

However, just when Hewale was about to open the closed door habitually, a hand directly stopped her.

"Ok?"

At first, she thought it was Hodder who did it.

But when she habitually looked at the sage walking side by side, she found that he didn't move at all.

The sage of Volsung still held the ice-breaking torch in one hand, but did not lift the other hand at all.

And when he realized this, He Huale looked towards the direction where he was caught. There, a figure who seemed to have condensed into an entity stood there.

"You can't go any further."

It was a man who was speaking. He was wearing a battle armor and had no weapons on his body, but he looked like a ghost instead of a living person.

More important to Howler, though, was his looks.

Although there are differences between men and women, but from the perspective of Hodder, who is standing in the third person, the two of them do have similarities in terms of appearance.

Therefore, the identity of this man is also ready to be revealed.

"Father..." He Huale couldn't help calling after seeing the appearance of the ghost.

"Hwale." Looking at his daughter, the ghostly Angentier opened his mouth first, but then shook his head.

As a father, His Majesty the former King should have a lot to say to his youngest daughter whom he has never met.

However, he gave up.

I don't know if it's because of lack of words or something else.

"Thank you, thank you for coming here and freeing me from that never-ending nightmare."

As a father, it may seem a little bit of dignity to say these words to his daughter, but in his opinion, this is no longer the time to care about these things.

"Now, turn around, boy, there's nothing here to explore."

Then, after hearing Angentier's answer, Hodder suddenly had the urge to touch his forehead.

Brother, you have stayed here, but you said that there is no need to explore here, aren't you kidding?

Chapter 58: Death Token

In the world view of the atrium, ghosts are definitely a strange thing.

Under normal circumstances, those fellows who appear with ghouls cannot be regarded as complete conscious individuals, and they may even be just the 'obsession' of some people staying here.

That is, the 'fragments' kind of thing.

Wraiths stayed in the atrium, but heroic souls went to Valhalla to report something. This kind of thing had happened before.

However, these wraiths usually kill everyone they see, regardless of who they are facing, because they stay in their own 'battle' forever.

If something like a ghoul can occasionally 'sit up', then something like a ghost is some kind of afterimage, which symbolizes a certain trajectory, just a picture of the past.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for things like ghosts and wraiths to talk to each other.

However, the guy in front of him was different.

The ghost of King Angentyr, let alone a dialogue, can even clearly answer the questions of Hervale, who is his daughter.

Even, he still remembers what happened before.

All this proves that he himself is definitely not a "photographer", nor is he a resentful spirit immersed in past battles and full of obsessions.

He is himself, a 'dead' who lingers in Midgard and remains in these northern seas.

However, according to the background of the game and the records in the myth, it is impossible for a human soul to stay in this atrium world for a long time, especially a warrior.

Angentier is nothing else, he is a warrior who once made a contract with the gods and promised to fight for them.

Even though he grew tired of war, he still waged a great war.

Theoretically speaking, that battle should have added a lot of troops to Asgard.

Even if not everyone can enter Valhalla, the heroic warrior Enheria is only the elite human beings in the army of the gods, and there are servants of the gods under them.

Moreover, even taking a step back, it may be because the gods didn't like his later 'disobedience' behavior and didn't let the Valkyrie come to pick him up.

However, they should never stay here any longer.

Even if the gods die, they will cross the long northern road to Helheim.

This kind of knowledge is not to mention the "player" like Huode who has read the spoiler, even He Huale, who has been trapped in the northern sea for a long time and is almost isolated from the outside world, knows it.

Because these are completely common sense!

So at this moment, He Huale couldn't help showing a puzzled look.

Her current thinking is actually the same as that of the sage, but it is different from Hodder who suddenly thought the walls were beautiful and started to study patterns.
