Herwin noticed Benita's gaze at him, and he asked with interest:

"Are any of you followers of the First Fire?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.

Even Benita, who attended a school funded by the Primordial Flame Church and had to worship every week, was by no means a follower of Gaphnan.

If the goddess was really kind, why didn't she save them?

Of course, if a priest were here, he would tell them that the previous pain was a test of the goddess, and that their current happy life was the reward for passing the test.

But they know that there are countless people like them who have undergone the so-called "test" but have never been able to achieve happiness.

If they die a tragic death early, it is the Goddess's mercy that takes them away from the world, and if they spend their entire lives in pain, it is a lifetime of trial.

Promises that are too flawless will be more like a well-woven lie.

In fact, only the most pious and powerful warriors could enter the realm of the goddess.

Hervin proposed:

"Since none of you are believers in the Primordial Fire, let me tell you a story. ”

Now it was everyone's turn to be surprised, because in the eyes of Benita and Tanya, Hervin must be a believer in the original fire, otherwise why would he donate so much money to the church?

But now, it seems, he wants to tell a story that might be blasphemous.

The three of them hurriedly sat down and looked at Hewen expectantly.

Herwin recounts:

"This is the story of my hometown, just listen to it, and don't think about the unreal places in it.

It is said that a long, long time ago, before the continent of Oberia was formed, the world's first creatures were born between Niflheim, the land of fog, and Muspalheim, the land of fire.

Giant Ymir. ”

Hola raised her little hand.

Herwin looked at her.

"Wright, Wright, but doesn't the book say that the continent was born from flames?"

Hervin says:

"So it's just a story, and maybe the fire in the mouth of the Primordial Fire Church comes from the story of Musparheim, the land of fire. ”

The eyes of all three girls lit up.

"But today our protagonist is not the king of giants, but the god who killed him, Odin, the father of the gods, and the story of the gods of Asgard.

After the death of the King of Giants, the Nine Realms, including the human world, were formed.

The three most powerful races are the Aesir and the Warners, who have endured a long period of war and fighting until the already declining Giants find a chance to re-emerge.

After endless deaths, the gods realized that they could not continue like this, and Odin and Frey signed a peace pact, and the three most powerful Warner Protoss joined Asgard, the kingdom of the gods.

The leaders of the Warners are Neord, the god of the sea, the god of storms and summer, and Frey, the son of Niord, the god of fertility, the sun, and victory.

and Freya's sister, Freya, the goddess of war who is in charge of love, beauty, and magic.

Crucially, Valkyrie, a member of one of Odin's strongest legions, was also led by her.

By the way, the Valkyrie Legion is a legion of female Protoss members who will charge at the forefront of the battlefield in gold and silver armor, weapons forged with light, and white steeds that spread frost and dew.

They were the most athletic and valiant warriors, and Odin claimed that all Valkyrie were his daughters, and they also called themselves the daughters of Odin.

Although many of Odin's so-called daughters betrayed him in the future, this is another matter. ”

Tanya felt the impact of Hewen's words on her worldview:

"Will there be an all-female legion in the world?"

Herwin took a sip of tea:

"Of course there is, what's so strange about that?

"With the exception of Valkyrie, all warriors who believe in Odin, regardless of gender or status, enter Valhalla Valhalla after death, where they can drink the milk and honey of the gods and feast on the roast meat of the beasts.

The Heroic Spirits will fight for Odin to the end of the world.

Our protagonist today is Odin himself.

Let's talk about how the deceitful god got his wisdom, which only Loki can match.

Odin sought wisdom in order to calm the uneasiness in his heart.

He had hung himself from the World Tree for nine days and nights, eating or drinking in the void of nothingness, sacrificing himself as a sacrifice in exchange for wisdom and rune magic beyond the reach of mortals.

Because he hangs himself upside down on the World Tree, he is also the god of the gallows, and the World Tree is named after Trahir, which means Odin's horse.

However, the wisdom of the falling World Tree could not satisfy Odin, and his uneasiness grew stronger, so he came to Uttenheim, the land of giants.

In Jutenheim, the Mimir Fountain emerges from the bottomless abyss and nourishes the second root of the World Tree, Üggtrasil.

The guardian of the Fountain of Wisdom is the giant Mimir, the grandson of the giant king Ymir.

Every morning, the giant wise man scooped the spring water with a horn called the galar.

When the Nine Realms were just formed, Odin came to visit Mimir and wanted to take a sip of the Fountain of Wisdom.

But Mimir said to the Father of the Gods:

"Even you can't drink the fountain of wisdom freely. ”

Wise Odin asked:

"Even if I am the king of the gods of Asgard, can't I ask for a mere spring?"

Mimir shook his head, and Odin immediately knew the answer.

Odin asked:

"What do I have to give?"

Mimir replied:

"Your right eye. ”

Without saying a word, Odin gave his eyes to the Giants of Wisdom.

The giant put his eyes into the fountain of Mimir and soaked it in the water, showing all who came here afterwards the price of the god-king Odin in exchange for the water.

From then on, Odin's right eye could see nothing, but his left eye could see everything.

Odin also got many titles for these two things, the god of one-eyed, the god of wisdom, the god of magic, and the god of the gallows.

After becoming the god of wisdom, Odin's shoulders perched two crows representing "thinking" and "memory", never stopping to patrol the Nine Realms until the end of everything.

That's the story for today. ”

Hervin ended the story.

Benita asked:

"If there really is such a god-king, why doesn't anyone know his name now?"

Herwin smiled and said:

"I'll tell you another story that I like better, Ragnarok. ”

In fact, there is still a part of the story about the Fountain of Wisdom that Hewen has not told.

After ending the war with Warner, Odin threw Mimir's head into the Fountain of Wisdom.

In the abyss, right next to Odin's right eye.
