Chapter 601: Winter of Finnble
In front of Tamamo, three people and one wolf were blessed with concealment spells, and the group teleported directly to the gate of the Temple of Tyr.
"It's ......"
There was no essential change in the scenery near the Lake of the Nine Realms, but Lu Xiao always felt that the atmosphere of Midgard had changed.
There was dense goose feather snow in the sky, and Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, who were not invaded by the cold and heat, could also feel the sharp drop in temperature.
Although it is not as cold as Helheim, which seems to freeze the soul, the ordinary humans of Midgard must be unbearable.
Not to mention that the Fimbull Winter will last for three full quarters, and you can guess that this long winter will cause many human deaths.
JΓΆrmungΓ₯rd was still entrenched in the lake, and there were already many frozen areas on the edge of the vast Nine Realms Lake, which would sooner or later spread to the entire surface of the lake.
The snake of the world is not yet Lu Xiao's turn to worry about it, anyway, it will definitely not freeze to death, but I don't know when Asgard will come to find trouble with it.
"Bang Dang~"
Opening the temple door, the familiar sound of striking iron could still be heard clearly, and the heat from the direction of the blacksmith shop washed away the bitter cold of the winter of Fimble.
"Close the door! My eggs are going to freeze! β
Needless to say, I also know that this rude sentence came from Brock's mouth.
When he saw Lu Xiao and the others, Brock was a little surprised: "It's you?" I thought you had left the Nine Realms a long time ago. β
Sindri looked left and right in a daze, and beckoned Lu Xiao to come to the wooden table.
"I heard that you killed the immortal Badr, it can't be true, right?"
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's true, the winter of Fimbull came because of Badr's death. β
"Sure enough......"
Sindri put his hand on his forehead and looked left and right before whispering, "You...... Aren't you afraid of Freya's revenge? β
"Not long ago, Freya came to us and asked Odin where she had hidden her armor and weapons, and she planned to reclaim her power as the King of Valkyries to take revenge on her son's killer, you!"
Lu Xiao patted Sindri on the shoulder and smiled, "Thank you for informing me, I will pay attention...... But is the curse of the Father of the Gods really that easy to break? β
Considering the nine Valkyries who were still sleeping and adjusting in the secret room, Lu Xiao decided to keep an eye on it to avoid unnecessary changes in the plan.
"Don't talk about this, I have a question for you."
Lu Xiao straightened his face and asked Brock and Sindri, "Who are the Asaph Protoss in the Nether Realm this time?" What is their purpose? β
Brock was as rude as ever: "How the hell do I know!" β
Sindri patiently explained: "Odin must have given them their respective tasks, but what the specific tasks are, no one knows except Odin and themselves. β
"Hoddle only stayed in Midgard for a short time before leaving for Alfheim, Vader, the god of the forest, went to Warnerheim with Odin's charter, and only Blaki, the god of poetry, remained in Midgar."
"Oh, yes."
Brock suddenly remembered something: "Earlier, Thor searched near the Lake of the Nine Realms, and I don't know if he completed the mission assigned by Odin and returned to Asgard with a small box. β
"Small box?" Lu Xiao narrowed her eyes: "Ashes? Or something else? β
Speaking of which, what exactly is the task that Odin has given to Thor? β
When Thor first arrived, Lu Xiao once thought that Thor was ordered by Odin to arrest a few of them outsiders, but now it seems that it should not be.
Sindri nervously reminded, "Anyway, you'd better be vigilant when you're in Midgard, Odin's Heroic Warriors are patrolling everywhere. β
The Valhalla is a special legion of Odin's command, chosen by the Valkyries to kill valiant warriors and their souls destined for Helheim to be sent to Valhalla in Asgard for training.
After losing the guidance of the Valkyries, the Valhallic Warriors had not increased in many years, and Odin had been using them sparingly, finally releasing the Valhallic Warriors before Ragnarok began.
Without the teleportation rune stone, Lu Xiao and the others could only stay in the Tyre Temple and wait patiently for Kratos and Mimir to return.
In the past few days, Lu Xiao met Blachi, the god of poetry.
Compared to Thor, who is rugged and short-tempered, Blaki has a relatively mild temperament and has the feel of an artist.
His beard was carefully groomed and braided into many pigtails, he wore a snow-white robe, and he held a golden harp in both hands, and as he walked, he plucked the strings and played beautiful notes.
Blaki was unconcerned about Odin's mission to keep him under surveillance of Midgard.
According to Brock and Sindri, he spends most of his time crouching in the Temple of Tyre playing music, unconcerned by the disturbances of the outside world.
Blaki had no intention of carrying out Odin's mission, and Lu Xiao didn't want to startle the snake.
Compared with the unruly and aggressive Badr, Blaki seemed very harmless, and Lu Xiao and the others, who were hiding in the shadows to observe, were temporarily safe with him.
On the fourth day after Lu Xiao woke up, the rainbow bridge between the kingdom teleportation room finally began to operate, and someone was teleporting back to Midgard from other realms.
Blaki happened to be lazy at the urging of the Heroic Warrior to go out on patrol.
"Bang!"
Coming out of the teleportation room are Kratos and Atreus, who have fulfilled Laufey's last wish, and the two of them have changed their demeanor as they prepare to end their journey.
Kratos's facial lines, which had always been cold and hard, softened a little, and Atreus, who had been a little swollen when he learned that he was a god, returned to normal.
"Oh~ thank goodness you're okay."
Mimir, who was returned to Lu Xiao by Kratos, was the first to speak: "What about Badr? Freya? What about Midgard? β
"See for yourself."
When Kratos opened the door to the outside of the temple, Lu Xiao held Mimir's head and asked him to watch the outside world covered in gold.
"Odin's O egg! Winter in Fimble! β
The erudite Mimir immediately grasped the situation in Midgard.
"So, Badr is dead? Freya didn't embarrass you? β
Lu Xiao smiled and shook her head: "What can Freya do?" She can't do anything until Odin's curse is broken. β
"That's right."
Mimir sighed: "Poor Freya, I hope she can think calmly under the precipitation of time, and figure out who is the culprit of her miserable life." β
Mimir, who had served as Odin's chief thinker in Asgard for a long time, knew Badr's mentality very well and did not think that there was anything wrong with Lu Xiao's approach.
The god of light has no real sense of existence at all, and the people of Asgard all know that he is seeking a peaceful death, but no one can do it.
Watching the other brothers live a joyful and hedonistic life every day, Badr twists with hatred and anger towards his mother.
Death was a relief for Badr, who had long since lost interest in the boring world.
"Let's stop here for small talk."
Lu Xiao turned Mimir's head around: "How is the situation in Jotunheim?" Did you find the giants? β
Mimir regretted: "I didn't follow them to the mountain, it was time for their family...... Let Atreus explain. β
Atreus took Mimir's words and said, "There are no giants, we have only seen a large number of corpses of giants on the highest mountain in the Nine Realms, and we don't know if they are extinct. β
"Impossible."
Lu Xiao said categorically: "After Jotunheim was blocked, the gods of Asgard could not enter the kingdom of giants, and there was no mortal enemy who threatened their survival, how could the giants be inexplicably extinct. β
Mimir thought for a moment and said, "I think so, Kratos and Atreus's path should have been designed, and they only saw a corner of Jotunheim. β
"The giant should have taken refuge in the core settlement of Jotunheim, deliberately avoiding Kratos and Atreus who appeared in the prophecy."
