This foul-mouthed dwarf has no easy background, and he has worked with his brothers to create a number of artifacts, including Thor's Mjolnir.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself."

The blue-skinned dwarf hammered his chest and said, "My name is Brock, the most powerful blacksmith in the Nine Realms. ”

Yongzhen hates this kind of person who likes to spew feces the most, she frowned and kept silent, not caring about Brock at all.

Lu Xiao didn't have any special feelings about this, he had long been used to it.

Among the roommates in Lu Xiao's college dormitory, there is a person who likes to talk dirty.

At that time, the roommate felt that such a casual and rude was very handsome, mainly due to the influence of his family with a very low level of education.

After entering the society and gradually maturing, the roommate once regarded this experience of thinking he was very handsome as a piece of black history in his life.

Lu Xiao thinks that there is no need, it doesn't matter if you laugh and scold with familiar friends, anyway, everyone knows that there is no malice in these swear words.

But being dirty in front of strangers is a bit of a matter of quality, like Brock in front of you.

Lu Xiao noticed Yongzhen's displeased expression, and in the spirit of embarrassment, he took off the Xuanyuan sword and threw it to Brock.

"Then you can help me see if there is anything worth improving on this sword."

Brock caught it and pulled his sword out of its sheath without saying a word, and his expression froze.

"I've seen you for a long time!"

Brock was surprised to stretch out his finger and caress the mountains, rivers, sun and moon carved on the surface of the Xuanyuan Sword.

"This sword is definitely not the handiwork of the Nine Realms, the forging technique is completely different, where did you get it?"

Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "This is the divine sword inherited from my hometown, how about it?" Can it be improved? ”

"you!"

Brock angrily threw the sword back to Lu Xiao: "This weapon from outside the Nine Realms and my forging skills are not all the way at all, how can you let me modify it?" Get out! ”

Lu Xiao hung the Xuanyuan sword on his waist again disapprenosingly, and said with a smile: "Don't be inferior, Brock, there is a saying in my hometown that there is a specialization in the art industry." ”

Brock yelled unhappily: "I'm not ......"

"That's the end of the gossip, I really have something I want to ask you."

Interrupting Brock's swearing, Lu Xiao raised his hand to the gate in the depths of the temple and asked, "Behind that gate is the realm teleportation room, do you have the key you need to activate the teleportation device?" ”

"Nope!"

Brock huffed and walked deeper into the temple, preparing to open a bunch in front of the portal door of the kingdom.

"The dwarven clan has a special method, and there is no need for a realm teleportation room to travel between the nine realms, so what should I do with the key?"

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked meaningfully, "Then can you send us to other countries?" You only need to go to each country once, and we'll pay you. ”

"It's too much trouble!"

Brock scolded as he unloaded the camel beast and said, "Gan! Let's build a key for you, I don't have that much time to travel with you everywhere. ”

Lu Xiao hooked the corners of her mouth to show a smile that had succeeded in her plan: "Hehe~ Then I'll trouble you." ”

……

Lu Xiao didn't know if Brock was talking about saying that he was the best blacksmith in the Nine Realms, but he did have two brushes in forging.

Promised Lu Xiao to build the key, Brock immediately started working after arranging the forge yard.

Unlike some people who like a quiet working environment, Brock still chatted with Lu Xiao non-stop during the construction process.

"Strange people from outside the Nine Realms, why did you come to this land? Just for the trip? ”

"I have to say, you really didn't come at the right time, the prophesied Ragnarok is coming, and the Nine Realms will soon be in chaos."

"Ragnarok?"

"That's right, the vast majority of gods are rumored to fall in Ragnarok, and Odin's old boy went crazy and looked everywhere for a way to stop Ragnarok from coming."

"But fate is such a fucked thing, and no one can rewrite their own predetermined destiny."

"I don't agree with that."

There was nothing to do left and right, Lu Xiao simply calmed down and chatted with Brock.

"The unchangeable fate is just a pretext for those who are accustomed to escaping, and I have seen countless people who have broken away from their predetermined destiny, and the future is by no means unchangeable."

"Hah!" Brock retorted with a sneer, "That's in your world. ”

"Bell!"

A hammer smashed on the half-formed key, and Brock said self-deprecatingly: "In the Nine Realms, fate is a given, and no one can change it. ”

"I'll give you an example, the temple is about to welcome two new guests, both of whom were prominent figures in the prophecy."

Lu Xiao spread his hands a little speechlessly: "You don't count this as a prophecy, you just saw their whereabouts in advance." ”

"If you say so, I can prophesy."

"The tallest of the two will open the door to the temple, and he will step on his right foot when he enters."

"Bang dang!"

As soon as Lu Xiao's words fell, a bald strong man opened the door of the temple with force, and took the lead with his right foot.

"Gan!"

Brock unhappily threw the completed key into the bucket and quenched: "It's really boring to chat with you, you have to refute whatever I say!" ”

Most of the people of Lu Xiao's generation have been online keyboard warriors, and raising the bar is the basic passive skill of keyboard warriors.

In fact, Brock's words were not completely wrong, and Lu Xiao was already vaguely aware of it.

The time rules of the Nine Realms are very bad, and it is exactly the kind of closed-loop structure that Lu Xiao is most worried about.

This is also the biggest reason why Odin and the giant can leave a prophecy, the future of the ring world is very easy to see, stable to the point that it will hardly change, and the corrective power of the rules of time will guide the development of events to the predetermined trajectory.

Unless, the game-breaker has the ability to rewrite the rules of time, breaking the closed-loop time structure of the Nine Realms into a normal linear structure.

That's why Atreus and Jörmungard were able to meet each other when they were young, because the stupid snake had been beaten from the future.

"Oh~"

The familiar children's voice came from outside the temple gate, and the curious Atreus ignored his father's obstruction and trotted in front of Lu Xiao and Brock.

"Hey ~ Brock, we're meeting again."

Brock handed the key to Lu Xiao angrily, and glanced sideways at Atreus: "It's you, little ghost, do you need to build a weapon?" ”

"No, but I'd like you to help us maintain our gear."

Atreus turned his gaze to Lu Xiao, his eyes flashing with curiosity.

After Altaïr's armor was destroyed, the new armor created by Atri did not include a hood, and Lu Xiao didn't bother to make another one to wear.

The appearance of Easterners is completely different from that of Westerners, and Atreus is very interested in the appearance of Yongzhen and Lu Xiao, and asks about their origins.

Kratos, with an axe behind him, walked over from the gate: "Boy, come back, don't disturb the others." ”

Lu Xiao is also very interested in Atreus's true identity, and he wants to know what this little guy will do in the future.

"Hello, Atreus, I'm Lu Xiao, and the others are my fiancée Yongzhen, my relative Yuzaoqian and my family dog Xiaofen."

"Whew!"

"Shut up, don't make a noise!"

Reprimanding Fenrir's protest, Lu Xiao continued: "We come from a distant country beyond the Nine Realms, the birthplace of Eastern civilization, Huaxia. ”

Kratos' brow twitched slightly.

'Chinese civilization, as if I had heard Zeus mention it before. ’
