Lu Xiao vaguely remembered that there were a total of 8 Valkyries scattered in various circles, and after collecting the helmets of these Valkyrie Council members, he could summon the last one to manage the Valkyrie's temporary leader in place of Freya, known as the King of Valkyries.

Muspelheim, Niforheim, Alfheim, and Helheim each have a sleeping Valkyrie, and the remaining four are scattered throughout Midgard.

After discussion, Lu Xiao and Mimir made a plan to avoid Midgard first and go to the other four worlds to find the Valkyrie respectively.

Defeating them frees the Valkyrie's soul imprisoned in its corrupted body, while also draining the remnants of their divine power.

After meeting Badr in Alfheim, Lu Xiao prioritized the elven kingdom at the back of the list, just in time for Kui Bald to step on a wave of thunder first.

Niflheim perennially perennially pervades the cursed mist, which is said to have been formed by the last breath exhaled by Ymir, the giant ancestor of Norse mythology, before his death.

It is also said that the cursed mist came from a dwarven craftsman named Ivadi, as a failed weapon-crafting experiment turned Niflheim to death.

In contrast, Lu Xiao prefers to believe in the first legend.

The legend of a dwarf polluting the entire world because of a failed experiment is a bit too magical, and even nuclear radiation will not affect such a large area.

Ymir is the first primordial lifeform to appear in Norse mythology, the ancestor of all giants, and its status in Norse mythology is comparable to that of Pangu in Chinese mythology.

During the Ancient Chaos, Odin and his two brothers, Willy (Hayneer) and Faye (Lorde), decided to use Ymir's massive body as a material to create a more orderly and vibrant world.

The three brothers then joined forces to challenge Ymir and successfully slay the primordial giant.

When Ymir collapsed, countless blood flowed from his wounds, which merged into a river that eventually flooded into the first great flood in Norse mythology.

After this flood, the flood world of Norse mythology has changed dramatically.

The remaining blood of Ymir was transformed into an endless ocean by the three Odin brothers, his skull was made into the sky, and his torso was transformed into the earth.

Odin used the eternal flame of Muspelheim to create the sun, moon, and stars, and the chaotic world was bright.

The maggots that lived on Ymir's body were illuminated by the sunlight and turned into elves, and from his huge corpse grew a giant tree with roots that spread to the Nine Realms, the World Tree Yggdrasil.

Ymir's descendants gradually split into two branches washed away by the Great Flood, living in the giants' new hometowns of Jotunheim and Muspelheim.

As a result, the Nine Realms of Norse mythology finally took shape, and the world entered a period of relatively stable development, all of which originated from Ymir's "dedication".

Of course, Ymir did not become the cornerstone of the new world of his own volition, and his unwilling sigh before his death polluted the ice fog that was constantly floating in Niflheim, making them the current fog of curse.

"You're going to Niflheim"

When Mimir was alone in deep thought, Lu Xiao told Brock of his request.

The rude blue-skinned dwarf was gnawing on the roasted thigh of some animal, and Lu Xiao guessed that it was the poor camel beast that had helped him carry the goods before.

Lu Xiao does not have virgin cancer, although he does not approve of Brock's practice of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but he will not forcibly point to Brock's nose to teach him what to do.

After all, the ownership of the camel beast is Brock's, and what to do with it is his own business.

Putting down his food, Brock walked over to the pile of debris next to the forge and crouched down to rummage through it.

"Hmm...... Unfortunately, the corroded fabric was just used up. ”

"If you want to build the right equipment, you have to provide the materials yourself."

Lu Xiao nodded and asked, "Then where are the materials going to find?"

"Niflheim."

Brock shrugged, "Not all places in Niforheim are covered with the Cursed Mist, and very few areas can survive. ”

"In this case, you will first set off for Niflheim through the realm teleportation, and when you get there, I will tell you in detail how to collect materials."

……

Lu Xiao didn't know what the dwarves' talents were, they were born with the ability to communicate directly between the spatial passages connecting the Nine Realms.

According to Brock himself, he used the World Tree to connect the roots of the Nine Realms to move freely, and it is not known if it is true.

Coming to Niforheim through the Rainbow Bridge, the first impression of this world on Lu Xiao was dim.

It was not the more natural darkness of the sky that had been seen in Alfheim before, but as if it was covered by a hazy mist.

It was daytime, but the sun could not shine directly on the land of Niflheim.

Mimir, who is a good teacher, explains: "This is a special environment in Niflheim, and the fog that pervades the whole world prevents the sun from directly shining on the ground. ”

"Even if there are a few areas where they can survive, there are usually no people who come here to make their home, and Niflheim simply can't meet the needs of normal food crops."

While strolling to the meeting point that Brock said, Lu Xiao asked Mimir, "Which of those two legends is really Ivati or Ymir?"

"Strictly speaking, both are true."

Mimir patiently explained, "The fog of the curse that covers the great world of Niforheim comes from Ymir, and the place where Brock wants you to find the material is the curse of Ivadi. ”

Even if he was a little absent-minded, Mimir could guess what the blue-skinned dwarf was thinking through the conversation between Lu Xiao and Brock.

Brock was a natural blacksmith and spent his life in blacksmithing.

He is not very strong on his own, and there are certain special materials that he cannot obtain by himself, including the Echo of the Mists and the Niforheim alloy from the Atelier Ivadi.

Echoes of the Mist is a special material that was created under the curse of the Ivati Workshop.

The Niforheim alloy is the legacy left by Ivati during his lifetime, and after countless years of curse immersion, the equipment forged with this special alloy can resist the erosion of Ivati's curse to a certain extent.

There are no powerful enemies in this world other than the cursed mist, and the Asaph Protoss will hardly come to this forbidden area of life, which is relatively safe.

Lu Xiao gave Yongzhen and Yuzao the task of exploring and collecting materials to deal with it, leaving Mimir behind.

The Valkyrie of Niforheim sleeps deep in the Ivati workshop, and if she wants to fight her in the cursed mist, corrosion-resistant equipment is indispensable.

Lu Xiao had tried to enter the Ivadi workshop directly, and the curse's erosion of him was not too strong, but it was not possible to explore the entire labyrinth area in a short period of time.

Over time, the effects of the curse will become more severe.

In the absence of anti-corrosion equipment, Lu Xiao and the others could only stay in the fog for about 5 minutes, and there was an error of about half a minute depending on the individual's physique, which was definitely not enough time to explore the entire area and defeat the Valkyrie.
