Chapter 279: Asgard (4)
“… It's not like a warrior from the human side, is it the Demon Realm people mentioned earlier? ”
Thor lowered his glass slightly, and carefully looked at the two "weak" women in front of him.
Since Odin had summoned the two of them here to enjoy the feast, not in the second council chamber in Grazheim, it was clear that the two of them had proved something to Odin.
"That's right, I don't know what your exact name is..."
"Thor, the god of thunder and war."
In that case......
He touched the hammer at his waist, but didn't do much, and with his other hand he pointed the glass toward Bragi, motioning for him to continue.
"It's a pleasure to meet you two, I don't know this lady, what is your name?"
The god was much more polite than Thor, and his deep voice was more suitable for Erri's ears than Thor's passionate voice.
Therefore, she is also much more polite to Braggi.
"Ellie, the princess of the Demon Realm."
"It's an honor to meet you."
He bent forward slightly, very politely, but the wine in his hand did not make the wine shake in the slightest because of his movements.
"I am the god of poetry and eloquence, Bragi.
It's an honor for you to be able to attend the banquet at the Valhalla Temple, and there are very few outsiders here, so I can probably guess that the King of the Gods should have a high opinion of the two of them. ”
“… That's what I thought, too. ”
Tyr also stepped up from behind the two, and then looked at Odin, as if to inquire about the aftermath
"These are my three sons, princesses of the Demon Realm.
I guess you should see something, right? ”
It was clear that it was a pitfall, and Erli was not stupid enough to jump into it, so she just smiled slightly, and then said to the three of them.
"King of the gods of the north, I can't answer such a question.
I'm not at my mother's level to judge others. ”
"Well, it's just casual talk, if a god doesn't have enough heart, he doesn't deserve the qualifications of a god.
What was the first impact on the three of them? ”
And Odin just tapped the end of Gungnir lightly, and then took a sip of mead.
Ellie looked around at the three of them, thought for a moment, and then said slowly.
"Tyr, a good agitator, can lead the warriors into a battle, no matter how difficult it may be, and even if it is impossible, he and the Heroic Spirits will never turn back.
Thor, who has enough passion for fighting, never abandons his comrades. The conversation you just had with a few Heroic Spirits was something that only a close friend could do, and it was straightforward, and for your comrades, it was a companion worthy of trust behind and in front of you.
Braji, the most polite deity in the Valhalla Temple, and I can't say it exaggeration, you must be a heartthrob here. In addition, as a god of eloquence, but not overly respected by everyone, it shows that you agree with everyone's point of view, rather than deliberately overwhelming, but righteously choose to accept it equally. ”
And when she said this, Erlie's eyes were always on the three of them, and the three of them naturally felt satisfied when they heard the words of boasting about themselves.
But Odin's eyes remained on Erlie's body all the time, listening carefully to the other party's statement, and on the other side showed a look of admiration, and a hint of ...... Bleak.
"It's amazing... But I want to know something, what kind of strength were the Christians in the Roman Empire? ”
Thor, on the other hand, satisfied with his compliments, asked practical questions. Because to be honest, although we have not met Christians now, the future is not certain, and the human race in northern Europe will inevitably expand to the south, and expansion will inevitably lead to war.
In times of war, Thor will bless the humans who sincerely call him, and will not let the other god's gods interfere with the human battle.
So, now let's ask what the South is like.
"Christians? ……
There are large believers, but they can't make good use of it, and their religious leaders spend most of their time thinking about how to fight for power.
Compared to the Persian Empire in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, the Zoroastrian religion is our natural enemy. ”
"Really......"
He drank the wine from his glass and looked at Odin, who asked just then.
"The culture and wealth of Rome, even the Norsemen in the Northland, have heard of it.
But I think there are some places that must be exaggerated. ”
"The center of the world, indeed, was within the Roman Empire, and it had enough farmland and livestock to feed the people of the empire, and they did not need to fight to get living space for the people, because even on the ruins, its territory was too vast.
A powerful emperor could never control the land, and had to decentralize power to others, exchanging a high degree of autonomy for stability.
In terms of culture, although there are not too many excellent orators, the classics of the Eastern world, the Roman Empire has collected all of them. ”
"Hmm...... Truly. ”
He nodded, and was about to ask something more when Thor walked back to the two of them.
"Excuse me, but my father has something to say."
So, the four of them looked at Odin's side together, and I don't know when, Tyr was also standing there.
"Welcome, warriors.
I am very happy and honored to see the warriors who belong to the north, standing before my eyes.
You have paved the way to victory and glory with your lives.
But this road will not be blocked by your corpses.
For you, more warriors of the North, will follow your path to become Heroic Spirits.
And your story will allow more northerners to gain space to survive!
And your sacrifice will make more northerners follow in the footsteps of the gods!
And now, for the survival of the world, we are preparing for the final battle!
The gods are for the continuation of the world, and you are for the reproduction of mankind!
Warriors, Heroic Spirits, let me lead you to fight for the survival of the North!! ”
"For the !! of the North"
Odin was much calmer than Tyr, but as his words and content rose, his voice and emotions grew stronger with his impromptu speech, and Odin not only provided the warriors with a place to fight and an object to fight, but also pointed out the purpose of the battle.
For the sake of their descendants and clansmen, and for the rebirth of the whole world.
As a result, the banquet, which was already at its climax, was pushed to a higher peak.
And by this time, someone had already put down the wine glass and food in his hand, turned to take out the weapon on his waist or back, left the feasting seat, and then chose his opponent and immediately began to fight.
After the rich mead and the warm atmosphere, each Heroic Spirit is hot-blooded, and does not care about the casting of power when fighting, maybe the subsequent battle, the opposite person will be seriously injured, but in their opinion, everything is worth it.
And in an instant, the battle scene will quickly be surrounded by a group of onlookers, some of them holding wine and admiring the duel inside, while others take out simple musical instruments to provide these fighters with the encouragement of war music.
But many more are also unarmed with their weapons and ready to join the battle at any time.
"Looks like you're better suited to control the rhythm of this feast, king of the gods of the north"
Ellie gave the glove to Yumeko, and then took a glass of honey water from her, I don't know where she got it, but she let Yumeko, the head maid, find it and give it to Ellie meticulously.
"This is my temple, and the temple I am most proud of, and the only people who stay here are great warriors and warriors.
Because they are destined to face the twilight of the gods, we will eventually perish, but after the extinction, we will usher in a new world. ”
In this regard, Odin thinks that it is nothing at all, because a supreme ruler, with a little ability, can definitely make the atmosphere lively.
And Ellie didn't speak, just waited for Odin's next words.
"So, the messenger of the Demon Realm, can you fight one of my three sons?
Don't care about winning or losing, because they are gods after all. ”
It seemed that after a moment's deliberation, Odin said this.
