Chapter 567: The World Tree and the Nine Realms

Lu Xiao didn't know what Chinese mythology looked like in the eyes of the gods of other systems, and Kratos wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk, so he had no way of knowing what was going on in his head.

Kuiye, who cut down the entire Olympus, has always adhered to the principle that what can be solved with his hands will never waste time with his mouth.

Kratos and Atreus aim to reach the highest mountain in the Nine Realms, and they think that the mountain across the bridge is their goal.

In fact, this answer is wrong, the highest mountain in the Nine Realms is not in Midgard, the atrium world inhabited by humans, but in Jotunheim, the land of giants.

Lu Xiao wanted to exchange some information with Kui Ye, but Kratos, who had just experienced an attack by strangers, was very wary of people he didn't know.

After silently buying supplies and maintaining his weapons, Kratos left the temple with the reluctant Atreus without saying a word, and headed down the bridge towards the snow-capped mountains.

In contrast to his father, who was a man of few words, Atreus loved to communicate with people, and he was at his most curious age.

If Kratos hadn't warned him to avoid communicating with outsiders as much as possible, this kid would probably be able to chat with Lu Xiao and the others until dark.

After obtaining the key to activate the teleportation device from Brock, Lu Xiao entered the realm teleportation room accompanied by Brock, and the dwarven blacksmith began to perform his after-sales service.

When I first entered the teleportation room, it was pitch black, and there was barely any light in the halls of the university.

The view of the empty teleportation room is very bizarre, with a separate suspended platform in the center of the hall, connected to the main structure of the teleportation room by thick tree roots.

The roots of these trees bear a strange fungus that glows a faint blue, the only light that can be seen in the halls of ignorance.

In the center of the stand-alone platform is a peculiar contraption encased in a hollow section of trees.

Brock led the group to the installation on the central platform, which looked like a pool of water with a faint blue glow.

"Stick the damn key here."

"Boom!"

Brock rudely took the key from Lu Xiao's hand and slammed it heavily on the slot in front of the device.

"Buzz!"

With the insertion of the key, the realm teleportation room, which had not been activated for a long time, finally resumed operation, and the central waterhole began to glow with light blue magic light and shadow, and Lu Xiao could feel that the concentration of magic power in the realm teleportation room was rising rapidly.

"This is the Rainbow Bridge Stone, it must be used to activate the Kingdom Teleporter."

Brock touched his nose proudly: "There are only two people in the Nine Realms who can create this special key, you can be regarded as the right person." ”

As Brock explains, a miniature statue slowly rises beneath the waterhole, with realistic kingdom towers on all sides.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen roughly understood the operating rules of this teleportation system.

"If I want to go to a certain country, I have to point this small bridge in front of the statue to a specific country tower?"

"That's right."

Brock spun the roulette wheel directly and demonstratively adjusted the bridge in front of the towers of the other realms.

However, Brock's confident movements did not bring any feedback, and the bridge, which was supposed to follow the system, did not react.

"Damn! Something must have gone wrong. ”

Brock scratched his head in annoyance: "You guys wait here, I'll go check the structure of the bridge." ”

Seeing Brock leave with his short legs, Lu Xiao, Yongzhen, and Yuzao looked up at the top of the hall.

With the insertion of the Rainbow Bridge Stone, the kingdom teleportation system gradually revived from its slumber, and a huge stream of magic converged from the various branches of the tree.

The surrounding area of the hall also shimmered in the same tone with different colors of soft light, and the corresponding iconic image could be seen behind each light.

Yongzhen observed the scene around the surrounding platforms: "I guess these stones suspended in mid-air are the teleportation runes representing the various realms, right?" ”

"Why are some rune slots empty above them?"

Tamamo also pointed to the artificial waterhole in the center with all his thoughts: "This is also the case, if the statue in the center is regarded as the atrium world of Midgard, there should be 8 kingdom towers around it, why are there actually only 7?" ”

Lu Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and he turned out some vague impressions from his long-term memory.

"The missing kingdom tower belongs to Jotunheim, and it is said that the giants took the initiative to hide the kingdom tower in order to prevent Odin, who coveted the giants' foresight, from invading their homeland."

"The teleportation runes around you...... It should be Odin's ghost. ”

"Compare carefully and see if what is missing is the rune stone of Asgard and Warnaheim."

"Well......" Yongzhen observed and compared, frowned and said to Lu Xiao: "It seems that there are not only two missing, but four." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Xiao left the console and walked to Yongzhen's side, following her guidance and looking around.

As Yongzhen said, in addition to the runes representing Asgard and Warnerheim being drawn, there are two additional realms where the rune slots are suspended above them.

When Lu Xiao was studying the runes of rune in Kama Taj, he studied the Norse mythology of the origin of rune for a while.

The three missing runes represent Jotunheim, Watt Alheim, Warnerheim, and Asgard.

Jotunheim is not difficult to explain that in order to prevent Odin, who is good at working well, from playing yin, the giants not only hid the kingdom tower when they were disconnected from the rest of the world, but also took the teleportation runes with them.

But Watt Alheim......

'It seems like the home of the dwarves, right?' Why did Odin take the teleportation rune stone to Vat Alheim? ’

With nothing to do until Brock returns, Tamamo asks Lu Xiao, who knows the background of Norse mythology, about the situation in other countries.

If Lu Xiao is not mistaken, the sleeping places of the fallen Valkyries are all over the country.

In order to absorb the divine power on them, Lu Xiao's team will also travel to other countries sooner or later in the future, and it is also a good choice to give Yongzhen and Yuzao a science about the situation in other worlds as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll talk about it in general."

"The nine realms of Norse mythology are all housed in the system of the World Tree, and according to my understanding, they should be regarded as nine parallel worlds."

"Needless to say, the Atrium World Midgard, the Asaph Divine Domain Asgard and the Warner Divine Domain Huanaheim, you can probably guess the danger of these two divine domains, and we will not go to the territory of the Protoss to provoke them directly."

Lu Xiao raised his hand and pointed at one of the fiery red teleportation runes: "This rune stone represents Muspelheim, the land of fire, which is rumored to be the homeland of the fire giants and ruled by Surtr, the king of the fire giants. ”

"Muspelheim maintains high temperatures that humans cannot tolerate all year round, and the whole country is full of volcanoes and magma, making it an unsuitable place for human life."

"Jotunheim is the land of giants, and according to legend, giants have the ability to predict better than the gods, and Odin has always been very jealous of this, and he wants to seize the power of giants in every possible way."

"Niforheim is the Land of Fog, and the country is filled with a poisonous fog, and there is hardly any life in sight."

"Helheim mentioned to you before that it is the underworld of Norse mythology, and the souls of the dead are sucked into it to wait to be released."

"Alfheim ......"

Speaking of this name, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a little headache.

'Is this PTSD?' ’

"Ahem~ In the world view of God of War 4, Alfheim is the realm of elves, not limited to light elves, dark elves also live here, and they have been competing with light elves for control of the world for countless years."

"The last realm is the home of the dwarves, Vat Alheim, which is now also blocked by Odin, and I don't know what the hell he is doing."
