You and me under the world tree

"It seems that those guys who ran away still didn't make much progress." He reached out and touched a cliff-like wall. It was so steep that ordinary people couldn't climb it, but it didn't matter, Hodder's purpose was not to climb. go up.

"It's just a usual trick. There is an enchantment here. If you want to remove the enchantment, you have to find the runes around here." Although Lai Jin's tone was full of disdain, the old dwarf scratched himself head.

With his talent, he can certainly ridicule the 'rune skills' of these giants in Midgard, but at the same time, no matter how rough the rune arrangement is, he must find it.

"Well... let's split up?" he suggested

But no one paid any attention to him, and he was quite sensible, so he didn't continue to shout after seeing that no one responded, but took two steps back.

"Siegfried."

"uncle?"

"What do you think we should do now?"

Hodder just threw this topic to Siegfried, and at this moment, the young warrior was stunned for a while, and then glanced at Lakin.

"My opinion is the same as his. We should disperse the search for runes. After removing these runes, the road will naturally appear."

This is a very orthodox kingly way of thinking. In fact, if this dungeon takes the orthodox route, it should indeed be like this, and the process is a bit cumbersome, because it has certain requirements for the "rune profession" people in the team, but in fact in Not all players in "Nine Realms" have chosen 'rune' as a sub-job, and some people's skills are not even full.

So what if you happen to meet a team of pure kitchen knives?

In fact, the answer has already been given on the forum, and this is what Huo De and Dietrich both like.

"Siegfried, now I will teach you something."

"Ok?"

"Sometimes, your own strength and the weapons in your hands are your only key, and this key is enough to open up a shortcut for you." Then, Huo De inexplicably glanced at the prince next to him, he and Huo De De stood in a horizontal line, neither retreating nor advancing, "Your Highness thinks so, too?"

The prince in the horn helmet didn't speak, he just glanced at him, then slowly clenched his fists, and Hodder also raised the ice-breaking torch in his hand.

"Siegfried, back off!"

When the young warrior was still in a daze, the dwarf who had reacted couldn't help pulling him back, and the next moment, he felt that the ground began to shake.

"Boom"

With one punch and one hammer, the ice-breaking torch and the fist wearing the metal gauntlet hit the seemingly plain mountain directly, and with this shaking, the magic barrier was roughly dispelled, and a path leading to Inside, a huge passageway enough for giants to pass appeared in front of them.

The huge shock not only reverberated here, of course, what Huo De and his party did would also alarm a certain giant under the mountain—Giant Green, who sat on his throne and looked up at the sound coming from above. shock.

Then, that dull but familiar voice reverberated...

"Giant Green, you really don't have a long memory."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There are actually very few giants in Midgard. After all, the atrium is a world dominated by humans. It is different from Jotunheim, which is almost sealed off by the giants, and Walter Alheim, where the dwarves live. This is where the gods live. 'Back Garden', here is the world created by the protoss using the corpse of the ancestor giant Ymir.

Humans are a species created by the gods. They use wars to create the "warriors" they want. For them, the atrium is like a continuous arsenal. They can allow dragons and various creatures that can threaten humans Living here, but absolutely will not allow the strength of a certain party to gradually expand.

Among these strictly controlled giant groups, Green had a very prosperous life. He once occupied the Jura Mountains on the border between the Netherlands and Gothic, where he developed his own underground forces, and then dispatched his own troops. Going to the border area to loot houses, these are all within the scope allowed by the gods.

Looting the supplies of those 'bugs' and then killing them, this is what they have always done, other times they nest in this Jura Mountains, strictly controlling the limit, although it seems to be dancing around the limit of the gods' patience , but is quite safe.

He knows where the bottom line of the gods is. They don't need to occupy so fertile land, they just need to nest in places like the Jura Mountains, and they don't need to grow food or herd cattle, because Midgard will never be short of wars. You only need to start plundering regularly and attack the surrounding fortresses and villages.

Even sometimes, they can be 'bribed' to participate in wars, or attack and harass the other party for a period of time. They have been doing this for hundreds of years, and with the acquiescence of the gods , he has already recruited many compatriots, and expanded the size of his underground town, and finally even named this large giant kingdom after himself: Greenheim.

He spent every day like this. For hundreds of years, he watched the rise and fall of various kingdoms. He even witnessed the killing of Odin's heirs deliberately left in the mortal world. If he had the leisure, he could even go to North Sea.

But until one day, this unthreatening leisurely life was broken, and everything changed...

A human like a ghost walked into his underground kingdom all the way. He was obviously wearing a heavy armor for a human, but he walked without making any sound, let alone a sound. Obviously, the entire Jura Mountains There are many fellow giants below, but none of them found this man, so he sneaked in all the way, and then contacted his slave—the slave named Laijin.

After that, the nightmare began. It was obviously just a maggot that was completely vulnerable in front of the giant. The giant was obviously a group that even the gods had to weigh their weight, but in front of that human, almost everyone was vulnerable. Every sword of his can cut off the limbs of his compatriots, and Green just watched his compatriots fall one by one.

The man was like a precise killing machine, with a great sword in his right hand and rune magic in his left, as he walked out of Grinheim stepping over the corpses of his compatriots.

Although Green himself didn't want to admit this, the bloody facts told him: If he hadn't had a giant sword that was forged by that dwarf named Lakin with all his strength, he would have been mercilessly beaten by that human. Kill him, he only saved his life by relying on his superiority in weapons and the giant's natural strength.

It was just a human being, but directly killed the entire giant kingdom. This was definitely the shame and shadow that would never go away in Green's long life.

His psychological shadow is so great that he dare not even walk out of his Greenheim. He can only rely on the magic of the giants to preserve the corpses of the clansmen, and then resurrect them one by one. This is the only thing he can do. It was waiting, waiting for decades, waiting for the Netherlands to be destroyed, and the rumors of that man had completely disappeared from this land before he dared to take the lead.

But I didn't expect that voice to still reverberate...

"Giant Green, you really don't have a long memory."

"Impossible, is he still alive! The Kingdom of the Netherlands has changed hands!" After hearing the voice from top to bottom, from far to near, Green couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

His gaffe could not help but be passed on to the friend in front of him who was also a giant, and he could not help showing a puzzled look:

"Green, what's wrong with you?"

The giant warrior in front of him is named Ike, and he is here as a guest. He and Green can be said to be old friends, and they have known each other hundreds of years ago. It seems that things are different, and now, what he saw on the face of a giant warrior was the horror that he shouldn't have seen.

"It's him... This voice is him!" After hearing this voice, Green, who was just a little depressed, suddenly became impatient and even panicked, "He's coming again!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and his gaze was only on a giant stone statue beside him...

"What else does he want to take away from me this time!"

"Calm down." Looking at the friend in front of him who obviously showed symptoms of PTSD, Ike couldn't help dissuading him.

Although from his point of view, being defeated by humans is actually not a shameful thing, because sometimes, there are always a few guys with extraordinary blood among these so-called humans, but he really can't stand Green This performance now.

In his eyes, the giant Green should also be a warrior, so it's outrageous to be so afraid of a human being!

But he's not a friend, so it's not easy for Ike to scold him.

"You should understand the lifespan of human beings. Compared to us living in Jotunheim, you in Midgard can understand this better. For more than 40 years, this period of time is definitely a qualitative change for human beings, even if He wasn't taken away by the gods who were looking at him, but now it's time to run out of energy."

However, Green obviously didn't listen to his words. The former giant king was only holding his epee tightly, and the excitement on his face didn't change at all.

"That's all." Looking at Green's appearance, Ike also knew that this situation could not be changed for a while.

And instead of seeking change in this regard, it is better to...

"You don't look like you're ready, let me meet the enemy for you." He said

The giant picked up the sharp sword placed next to the huge seat, and then slowly walked out of the slightly dilapidated underground palace.

"What kind of person can make Green fear like this, let me see..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"This is the underground kingdom of the Jura Mountains: Grimmheim, as it literally means, this is 'Green's Kingdom', once ruled... maybe the giant who lives here now is called Grimm. "When leading a group of people to move on, Huo De said

His voice was not deliberately lowered, but under the cover of the helmet, his voice still had a gloomy and hoarse feeling. Even if he spoke in a normal voice, his voice was a little lower than usual.

But it doesn't matter, because at this time, except for the good boy Siegfried, the other two people are not paying attention to his words.

For Lai Jin, this is a revisit of the old place, but for His Royal Highness the Gothic Prince, he needs to take a closer look at the environment here.

"How should I put it, this place seems...not like a kingdom." Finally, Siegfried said such words.

Originally, he had imagined this aspect when he heard about the giant power hidden under the mountains, and when he heard Lai Jin's description in a few words, he should have been a huge country, no matter how bad it was, it should be a huge country. The underground city-state where giants live is even bigger for humans.

In short, whether it is an underground country or an underground city in the true sense, it should have a "magnificent" temperament. Rough buildings, runic brilliance or flames that replace sunlight lighting are all must-haves, and maybe there will be constant Giant guards defending against foreign enemies.

Siegfried imagined that the giants in the mouths of the Midgard poets are all synonymous with power and terror. In fact, the scene of Grünheim was similar to what Siegfried thought, in order to completely Accommodating hundreds of giants, the entire northwestern part of the Jura Mountains was hollowed out, and the underground space extended in all directions, allowing them to go almost anywhere in the mountains. These giants even raised deer in the mountains!

but……

"It looks like everything is a thing of the past."

Lai Jin's voice was a little deep, but he didn't deliberately hide his emotions, so others could easily detect a trace of twisted pleasure from his words.

Of course he remembered the prosperity that Greenham once had, but so what?

Now in front of him is only a faint light—the trace of the 'Immortal Flame' from Muspelheim that is suspended at the top and protected by a specific device is still working, and it serves as the foundation for the entire underground. The kingdom's 'little sun', but the entire city below was silent, the giant residents in Lai Jin's impression and the rune lights for auxiliary lighting all disappeared.

All that's left is silence...

But this kind of dead silence is not a description, it does not refer to 'quiet as if they are all dead', but 'silent because they are dead', although that memory was sealed in the deepest part, and Lai Jin was fine. I won't go through it, but at this moment, the scene at that time did appear in his mind.

A large number of warriors spewed out of the nightmare-like city full of giants, but what remained in the end were corpses. At that time, Huo De was definitely at the peak of his life.

O sage of Volsung...

"Don't look, just keep going, our enemy must be right in front of you." Huo De said

Then, a group of people walked all the way down the huge road that could accommodate giants like giants walking side by side. This feeling is very strange, and it is quite a rare experience for Siegfried himself.

If he didn't know that he was inside the mountain at the moment, he would feel that he was going down the mountain, but now it seems correct to say that he is going down the mountain...

In the end, they reached the "ground" of Grinheim, and there was still a little distance along the road. Although Siegfried didn't know how deep his party went, he could estimate the distance—— The ceiling of the mountain is already high, presumably they should be in the underground space below the plain at this time.

Then, they saw a figure at the entrance of this rough underground city. Under the illumination of Muspel Haier's inextinguishable fire, the figure was quite tall, about twice as big as a person.

He was wearing an unusual black battle armor, which even reflected the color of blood under the light of the fire. He held a long sword that was just right for a giant in his hand, and he carried a simple face on his back. large shield.

Among the frost giants of different sizes, this size is not too big, but he is the famous "giant warrior" in Jotunheim - the giant warrior Ike.

"Tsk, I didn't expect to meet him again." His Royal Highness the Gothic Prince couldn't help but said after seeing the giant who had completely wrapped himself in a special black armor with only one head exposed.

Wow, in my last dungeon you didn't say a word, just standing on the high platform like a pretender.

Huo De was actually a little surprised when he heard His Royal Highness say that, because when Dietrich took him to download the dungeon, the prince stood like a standard dungeon NPC, with a calm and indifferent expression. The tone allows the scout played by the player to detect the front five (fight the boss).

In the copy, the Gothic prince himself is actually a mechanism of the second boss.

【Giant Warrior Ike】

This boss has two stages. In the first stage, the defense power is extremely high. In the orthodox strategy, blunt weapons must be used to consume his blood bar. When it reaches 50%, it will enter the second stage and he will directly break the current The unquenchable fire from the barren land of flames hanging on the top, after forcibly catching it, the armor on his body will turn into a scalding burning battle armor.

Decreased defense, weak water, and testing weapons. This dungeon is like this. It is very unfriendly to the chopper team that is not blunt. In order to make up for this problem, the prince will appear on the stage, and he will appear as an NPC to assist in the battle.

"I know him, so leave it to me." Of course, His Royal Highness didn't know what Hodder was thinking, he just said these words, and then he didn't wait for others to say anything, just took a step Then walked over.

He actually didn't know that the giant warriors who had met once in Jotunheim or even confronted for some reason would appear here, but he didn't care about these, he was used to killing and decisively, and he didn't mind being here. kill him!

Then, with the sound of metal footsteps, Ike finally sensed that someone was approaching. With the light of the inextinguishable flame, he looked in the direction of the footsteps, but he was stunned soon .

"It's you……"

For a moment, the indifference and calmness that appeared on Ike's face was broken, and he just watched the man slowly approaching.

Just like what he saw in Jotunheim, he was wearing an eagle-patterned battle armor and a horned battle helmet that was rarely seen among humans.

this person……

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The giant Ike is a famous warrior in Jotunheim. Although Ike is not the strongest among the entire group of frost giants, the giants in Jotunheim are actually not keen on running around—— Wavrunil, Sudong, Diaz, Farbouti, and Solem all live in Jotunheim, and they are all forces that cannot be ignored in the kingdom of giants, but they rarely visit each other.

And more importantly, the giants are not interested in 'struggle', they don't even like to compare each other, even though Vavrunir is a more intelligent giant than Mimir, even though Su Dong once sent Odin as a servant, Diaz controls the sea and hunting, and Farbouti is even synonymous with thunder and violence, but neither of them has ever boasted of themselves.

Among these people, even the irascible giant like Solem has never caused trouble, but just sits on his own wealth all day long, and then uses magic to spy on the queen Frigga taking a shower. This person has no ambitions, and even allows the emperor Yaz's daughter, Skadi, built a house to live in on her own territory.

Therefore, Ike's reputation has grown very quickly. He is young, talented, and has his own unique insights in combat. Although he is relatively small in size compared to other compatriots, he has powerful martial arts. But the more important thing is that he is young, so he is rebellious. He wants to prove himself through various channels, and visits people all day long to compete with others.

It is conceivable what kind of reputation he has in the peaceful and affluent Jotunheim. Although the girls of the giant clan admire him quite a lot and feel that he has the aura of the giant clan, but for those giant kings In fact, his behavior is not pleasing.

But he didn't care about this, he just lived every day according to his own habits, and he didn't reject those girls who admired him, so he was labeled as romantic, romantic, adult, and sexual, but that's it A giant warrior who is eager to prove his strength through brutal battles and use the honor of victory to make his reputation even louder, but finally meets a woman who makes his heart beat.

She has a taller body than him, but she is not bloated, just like an enlarged version of human beings, and she is proficient in wisdom and magic, and can adjust her body shape at any time through the magic of the giants. Beautiful, praised by gods, gods, and giants, she and the winter queen of the hunt, Skadi, are called sisters.

She is Princess Zebul, the only daughter and only daughter of Wavrunier, the wise giant king.

Ike still remembers the day he saw her, when he was thinking of proposing a hunting contest to Skadi and her servants, but at that time, he saw her, she was fighting with Skadi in the snow Fighting with each other, the silver bell-like smile made him fascinated.

It is true that he has seen countless girls, and because of his personal habits and hobbies, he has spent hundreds of years with countless girls, and there are even some races other than giants, but he feels that the sum of those pleasures is not as good as he thinks. Seeing her every frown and smile, although Skadi is the queen of winter, in Ike's view, Zebul is as light as a winter elf.

Even though her body is actually twice as big as his, he still thinks so...

Then, he gave up on the challenge, lest he would leave a bad impression on her, and then he began to plan to propose marriage to the wise giant king Vavrunil, but when he was preparing everything, he encountered all kinds of problems. Various puzzles.

That giant king may have chosen an excellent husband-in-law for his daughter. He first assessed him in terms of intelligence, but in this respect, he can't really be said to be very good, even if he patiently accepted all kinds of questions from him. Questions—from the ancient legends passed down by the giant family to the customs of various places.

Ike wasn't interested in these things at first, but in response to the King of Wisdom Giant's question, he found an opportunity to make up for all these things before hovering on the edge of the passing line.

And the last is the assessment of martial arts...

Of course, Wavrunier's original intention was to find a wise and courageous husband for his lovely daughter. Although Ike may have some problems in terms of character, he still made it to the end.

He once thought about who his opponent would be, but he didn't expect it to be a young man, and he was still a tiny human being. That man was his brother who crossed the Iron Forest from Midgard and came to Jotunheim. special prince.

In the end, Ike still failed to marry his dream lover, Zebul. One can imagine what happened in the middle. It was definitely a shameful failure for Ike, because he did not lose in martial arts, but in In terms of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, because no one could have imagined that the opponent's figure, which can only be regarded as small compared to a giant, could burst out with strength not inferior to that of a giant.
