Kratos and Atreus' journey is over, and the tired duo plan to return home to recuperate.

During this journey, Atreus has grown rapidly, but he has not yet reached Kratos' standards, and Queige wants to train Atreus to be able to take charge as soon as possible.

Especially after seeing the prophecy mural, the idea became even more urgent.

Knowing that Badr was dead, Kratos and Atreus bid farewell to Lu Xiao and the others, and while the Lake of the Nine Realms was not completely frozen, they went to the bottom of the bridge to row home.

Seeing Kui Ye's father and son leave, Lu Xiao showed a meaningful smile on his face.

Mimir couldn't help but complain: "Dude, your smile is a little crazy, it reminds me of a certain sinister old man, what are you thinking?" ”

"Nothing."

Lu Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I just think that I will meet them again in the future, and the time interval should not be too long." ”

……

"Buzz!"

Before Blaki led the patrol back, Lu Xiao used Mimir's eyes to open the Rainbow Bridge and enter Jotunheim.

Since the Rainbow Bridge was opened in an irregular way, there was naturally no stable spatial passage.

After Lu Xiao stepped through the portal, he closed the door with his backhand, eliminating the possibility of the Asaph Protoss slipping into Jotunheim through the portal.

"Wow~"

As soon as he entered Jotunheim, Mimir suddenly exclaimed, "It's strange, this time we entered Jotunheim in a completely different location than Kratos. ”

Yongzhen asked with some surprise, "What's the difference?" ”

"Kratos: The place where they cut into is located halfway up the mountain, and someone should have specially prepared it, and we ......"

Lu Xiao looked at the surrounding cold coniferous forest, and complained helplessly: "Why is it a forest again, I am so close to nature?" ”

"Mimir, do you know how to go?"

Mimir was the only one of the people present who had traveled to Jotunheim several times, and all three and a wolf turned their eyes on him.

"It's a pity."

Mimir frowned and said, "In the past, I used to go directly to their royal court under the guidance of giants, and I really don't know the whole picture of Jotunheim. ”

"But I remember that Jumirheim, where the Court of the Giants is located, is in the middle of a large plain, so let's find a high ground and observe the surrounding ...... Well, when I didn't say. ”

Before Mimir's words were finished, Lu Xiao took his head into the air.

According to Mimir, giants do not maintain a huge body at all times.

In order to save energy and Jotunheim's resource consumption, they spend most of their time changing to normal human sizes, just like Kratos' wife, Laufey.

As long as Laufey doesn't say it himself, Kratos, who has lived with her for many years, doesn't know that his wife is actually a giant.

The exit of the portal was far away from the plain that Mimir had said, and even with Lu Xiao's clairvoyance, he could only see some outlines.

The area they were in was a complex tundra hill, and to reach the verdant plains in the distance required all the way south over a series of mountains.

Jotunheim's temperatures are on the low side of the year and are not much better than Midgard, which is experiencing a Fimble winter.

In order to reach the court of giants as soon as possible, flying through the air is the best option, but before setting off, you must first solve the problem of keeping warm from the cold, and the cold wind above Jotunheim is not so easy to bear.

Lu Xiao wrote the runes on the three people and one wolf one by one to protect the core temperature of the body, and the effect of the runes could last for at least an hour, and during this time, they could rush through the air against the cold wind.

Flying from a high altitude allows you to see the scenery below more intuitively, so as to avoid getting lost in the complex terrain of hilly terrain.

Towards the end of the first hour, Lu Xiao and the others entered a small frozen snow field, and they planned to find a suitable place to land down to recharge the runes.

"Wait!"

Just as Lu Xiao was about to control the wind to let the three of them and one wolf land, Mimir suddenly called a halt.

"Lu Xiao, land over there."

Mimir's golden eyes radiated light, guiding Lu Xiao's direction.

Looking at the location pointed out by Mimir, except for a strange-shaped mountain rock covered by heavy snow, Lu Xiao saw nothing, and his eagle eye vision could not perceive any life reaction.

"What's there? Didn't see anything special. ”

"Hey~"

Mimir sighed, "You knew it in the past, it was another sad story. ”

According to Mimir's instructions, he landed near the rock, Lu Xiao raised his hand to wipe away the thick snow covering the rock, and the scene that appeared in front of him made the three of them look shocked at the same time.

"This ......"

Below the snow is not a black-brown rock, but a layer of permafrost that reflects the sun's rays.

The point is not here, but a snow-white arm and a little clothing can be seen faintly under the ice.

Lu Xiao called with a solemn expression: "Xiaoyu." ”

"Leave it to me."

Dressed in a wide robe and large sleeves, Tamamo dances gracefully on the snowfield, which is her unique way of assisting in casting spells.

In terms of the total amount of mana, Yuzao Qian is far from Lu Xiao, but in terms of precise control of mana, Lu Xiao still has a long way to go, far less than Yuzao Qian, who has practiced for thousands of years.

"Whew!"

A small tornado blew out of thin air on the snowfield, blowing away the snow on the surface of the permafrost without hurting anyone in the ice.

After the snow dispersed along with the small tornado, Lu Xiao and the others finally saw the situation inside the ice clearly.

The hand just now came from a heroic young woman, her hands wrapped around a middle-aged man with a beard, and her face was full of sadness.

The man had a feathered arrow stuck in his chest, and the arrow was exactly the same as the arrow in the quiver behind the girl.

"Scati, the queen of the hunt, and her poor father, Sharky."

Mimir finally began to tell the story: "When Scati was very young, Shaki began teaching her to hunt animals. ”

"Sharky has a special ability to transform into all the animals of the Nine Realms, and teach Scati to know them and hunt them."

"Skati became the strongest hunter in the Nine Realms under the teaching of Sharky, and even the gods can't compare to it."

"That's where tragedy begins."

Mimir sneered: "Odin has a crush on Scati and wants to marry her so that Scati can give birth to a strong child for him." ”

"Wait a minute."

Tamamo rubbed his eyebrows in confusion, interrupting Mimir's story.

"Didn't you say Odin hated giants? This hunting queen, she should also be a giant. ”

"It's not a contradiction."

Mimir explained, "Just because Odin hates giants doesn't mean he hates every giant. ”

"Thor's mother, Fjoggen, for example, is a giant and one of Odin's favorites."

"Ahem~ re-tell the story."

"Scati has no interest in Odin, who likes to play tricks, and she rejects the king of the gods in public, which naturally angers Odin."

"Odin, vowing to take revenge on the proud queen of the hunt, has concocted a rumor that an eagle had stolen the golden apple from the orchard of Eden, the goddess of youth, and that the gods could do nothing about it."

"Unable to suppress her hunting spirit when she received the news, she took a bow and arrow to chase after the eagle, and after countless sun and moon chases, she finally shot the eagle from the sky with her divine archery skills."

At this point in the story, Lu Xiao and the others have already understood the next development, and the faces of the three of them are not very good-looking.

"When Scatichen hurried to collect his prey, the eagle was long gone, leaving only the cold corpse of Scati's father, Sharky."

"Skati accepted her fate at the fall of the winter curtain, and with shame and remorse, she picked up her father's body and returned to her homeland, where she disappeared into the unknown snowfield."

"Until today."
