Chapter 2 - Valhalla

The Celestial Empire was founded in the middle of the Zerg Defense War, because the invasion of the Zerg caused the Celts to lose their home planet Glory, and the Celts re-established the capital in the center of today's Lunyu, the second center of the Celts, united the overall situation, and took the name of Liberation, in order not to forget the meaning of national shame.

After receiving the news from the Celtic high-level, Mitellan quickly changed the route and sailed to Guangfuxing, Jiang Xiu and his party also came to Guangfuxing, through many security checks, Jiang Xiu and others just got off the shuttle, and they were shocked by the scenery in front of them - what a magnificent scenery!

Guangfu Star is completely different from his companion star Turboxing, full of green mountains and green waters. The blue sky is ethereal, the clear water is long, the birds are chirping and the insects are chirping, the wind is light and the clouds are light, even the airport where the shuttle plane landed is built in an empty and deep valley, and the airport staff confirmed the identity of Jiang Xiu and the others, and led everyone to a maglev train.

The ban on air is imposed on the Guangfu Star, and ground transportation is generally used for travel, and only a few high-ranking officers have the right to fly on the Guangfu Star.

The maglev train slowly drove along the winding and undulating mountains to Valhalla, the soul of the entire Celtics.

At the end of the undulating mountains, a giant city made entirely of white marble slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the giant city stood on the vast plain, the calm flow of the Landil River passed through the giant city, the huge and thick ancient trees were even higher than some houses, and the three huge statues up to three hundred meters high were lifelike, every detail was exquisite to the extreme, as if they were three giants from ancient times, standing at the main gate of the city, guarding this weather-beaten giant city, whether it was a Celtic tribe or not, Everyone who enters the city will pay homage to these three great men who changed the history of Celts, and silently recite their great deeds in their hearts, and sing the praises of their selflessness and fearlessness.

The middle-aged man on the left is called Gerald Toventden, the head of the nine Celtic royal families, the middle of the Toventden family, and the first person to lead the Celts to the stars.

The young woman with long hair and a heroic posture in the middle is called Yingluck Portevis, the founder of the Portevis family, she led the Porteveis family, which was originally just an ordinary family, to rush to the royal throne as a woman, and was ordered to serve as the queen of the Celtic dynasty at that time, and led the Celts to finally resist the invasion of the Zerg.

The old man on the far right, dressed in a scholar's robe, with a long beard that hung down to his chest, and an elegant and friendly posture, is a great man who has shined in modern history and made all star masters know and everyone knows - the legendary star master and grand master Al Denton!

Jiang Xiu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Valhalla City in front of him in a daze, and his heart was full of emotion.

A thousand years ago, he had come to Valhalla more than once to unite and urge the Celts to resist the impact of the Kranado group, at that time, the statue of El Denton had not yet been erected at the gate of Valhalla, Gerald and Yingluck looked north and south, guarding the Heroic Spirit, and there was a neat army of mecha gathered outside the Valhalla, which were the most elite pilots of the Celtic clan, and they swore an oath in front of Gerald and Yingluck that they would defend the honor of Valhalla to the death!

That bloody picture is now gone, Valhalla is still the same Valhalla, the Celts are still the same Celts, but the pilots are no longer those pilots.

The past has gone with the wind, and for a while, Jiang Xiu was full of emotion.

"Jiang Xiu's little friend?" Mitellan looked at Jiang Xiu strangely, although there was silence in the carriage at the moment, but the faces of the others were filled with amazement, but Jiang Xiu's face showed remembrance, this was not like the expression that a person who came to Valhalla for the first time would see, "What, you have been to Valhalla before?" ”

Jiang Xiu suddenly came back to his senses, retracted the expression on his face, and said with a smile: "No, it's just that I just happened to think of some things and felt a little emotional." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Mitalan's eyes, and he was finally suppressed by him, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, and shook off that ridiculous thought in his heart, too, Valhalla City is not something that others want to come to, if Jiang Xiu had been to Valhalla City before, there would definitely be a record in Valhalla, and Jiang Xiu's information would naturally indicate it, but in fact, his information was blank, which was obviously impossible.

It's just that he never expected that Jiang Xiu had indeed come to Valhalla, but it was only 10,000 years ago, at that time, the people in Valhalla had not yet been born, how could there be a record.

The train entered through the side gate of Valhalla, passed through a long, deep tunnel, and then slowed down to stop at the end of the gate, a huge open-air fountain square.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Valhalla!" Lieutenant General Mitellan said with a smile, and then stepped off the train first.

There were many pedestrians in the square, but most of them kept their heads down, ignoring everyone, muttering something silently and their eyes shining with wisdom.

"Are these zombies? Why are their expressions so strange. Tai Liangyi asked loudly.

The pedestrians around suddenly raised their heads and glared at Tai Liangyi, the fierce light in their eyes seemed to be able to eat Tai Liangyi, and Tai Liangyi was that kind of good stubble, glaring back unceremoniously, and then saw the strange situation of Tai Liangyi and a group of strange pedestrians staring at each other.

Mitellan lifted his forehead, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Masters, I'm sorry, this gentleman is coming to Valhalla for the first time, I don't know your habits, please forgive me for the changes." ”

When many pedestrians heard this, they all stopped paying attention to Tai Liangyi, lowered their heads again, and continued to wander in the square, Tai Liangyi still had something to say, but Jiang Xiu hurriedly whispered.

Tai Liangyi had no choice but to whisper: "What kind of weirdos are these?" ”

Jiang Xiu almost laughed dumbly, which actually made Tai Liangyi feel strange, the performance of these people seemed to be really in line with the image of weirdos.

"This is the Wisdom Square of Valhalla, these people are all scholars in the Celtic Glory Library, any one of them is a master who can shock the academic community in the outside world, you give me some respect." Jiang Xiu said in a low voice.

"It turned out that they were all literati." A hint of blush appeared on Tai Liangyi's pale face, "I like to deal with literati the most, no wonder they smell so good." ”

Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he said, "You give me a little care, if I let me know that you sneak attack these scholars, I will let you walk around without eating." ”

Tai Liangyi blinked: "I'm just looking for them for academic exchanges." ”

"That's not going to work either!" Jiang Xiudao.

……

After arranging the accommodation, Jiang Xiu did not stay in the room for the first time, walked out of the hotel where he stayed alone, and walked onto the street.

The streets of Valhalla are very spacious, but there are not many pedestrians walking on the road, and occasionally one or two maglev vehicles will whizz past Jiang Xiu's side, rolling up a gust of wind.

Time has not affected the city in the slightest, everything seems to be the same as it was 10,000 years ago, nothing has changedβ€”the Library of Glory is still so majestic, and it contains the essence of all mankind's knowledge, for the best scholars of all mankind to wander in it; In front of Valhalla, there are naturally white flowers that have not changed for thousands of years, and those who have made great contributions to the Celts for hundreds of thousands of years are enshrined in the temple, solemnly accepting the sacrifices of those who come after them; The tall nameless bell tower stands in the middle of the city, whether it is 10,000 years ago or 10,000 years later, whether it is in the south or north of the city, as long as he raises his head, Jiang Xiu can see the eternal turning clock tower......

Jiang Xiu wandered silently through the city, finally stopping in front of a seemingly ordinary Silver Phoenix Ancient Tree.

He touched the old bark of the ancient tree, looked at its luxuriant shade, and his heart fluctuated inexplicably.

The tree is still the same tree, but the person is no longer the same person.

……

In the year 11229 of the Caroa calendar, under the old silver phoenix tree, a pair of young lovers sat side by side, the man was like a cold sword, it seemed to be plain, but it exuded a cold breath at any time, but the woman was soft as jade, tender as water, snuggled on the man's shoulder, and his face was full of quiet happiness.

"Jiang Xiu, do you know, I heard others say that the silver phoenix ancient tree behind us is the oldest tree in the entire Guangfu Star, and this tree has been standing here before the Guangfu Star has become the administrative center of the Celtics, and later, Empress Yingluck built a city here, originally this tree should have been cut down, but one day Empress Yingluck saw this tree when she inspected the foundation, and suddenly remembered her dead lover, and a trace of pity rose in her heart, so she asked the craftsmen who built the city not to cut him down, Let the original path bypass this tree, and let him grow permanently outside Valhalla. The woman's eyes were rippling with water, and her tone was full of tenderness and happiness, "Legend has it that as long as the lovers make a long-lasting wish under this tree, their love will be blessed by Empress Yingluck and the ancient tree, and they will be together forever." ”

A smile appeared on Jiang Xiu's stiff face, and he touched the woman's hair and said, "Si Yue, then let's make a wish, let us last forever." ”

Si Yue smiled slightly, raised her head, looked at Jiang Xiu's face, and said, "I have already made a wish, from now on, we will definitely last forever." ”

Jiang Xiu lowered his head and looked at Si Yue: "Definitely!" ”

……

Today, the silver phoenix is still the same, and the old man is not there.

It's been a long time, and it's just a legend.

……

"Why, young man, have you ever made a vow with your lover under this ancient silver tree?"

A peaceful and indifferent voice suddenly sounded from behind Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu was suddenly startled, although his mind was attracted by the ancient tree, but the person who could approach him silently without being noticed by him must be far superior to him, and the person behind him must be a master.

Jiang Xiu turned around slowly, but saw an old man dressed in a simple robe, revealing majesty in kindness, looking at him, the bright gold crystal on his forehead was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look at him directly.

Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and said, "The old gentleman misunderstood, I just saw this famous silver phoenix ancient tree, sounding my beloved lover, hoping that one day I can take her here to make a lasting vow." ”

The old man's eyes showed a thoughtful look, nodded and said: "Yes, the oath made under this ancient tree is very sacred and effective. ”

The old man's face showed emotion and embarrassment, as if he was remembering the events of his youth.

"The old gentleman and your lady must be very affectionate." Jiang Xiu said.

"Yes," the old man smiled slightly, "she has always treated me like a child, although I was very majestic outside when I was young, but when I got home, she was in charge, she would arrange everything, I just had to enjoy it hahaha." ”

"What a blessing!" Jiang Xiu said.

"yes!" The old man had a smug look on his face, indeed like a child, "Tell me about you, young man, how are you and your lover?" ”

Jiang Xiu exhaled and said softly, "She, she may be on the verge of life and death now." ”

"Relax and trust her." The old man said.

Jiang Xiu nodded and said, "I believe in her, this is her own choice, I believe that she is not begging for death, since I can't do anything, then I can only wait." ”

The old man laughed and said, "It's a pleasure to talk to you, young man, you have a lot of temper with me. ”

"Me too." Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

"Old man, I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you, and I'll continue when I have a fate." After that, the old man turned around and left, although the pace was not fast, but every step was not small, and disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiu looked at the direction in which the old man disappeared and said in a low voice, "We will meet again." ”

……

In the council hall, many Celtic high-ranking people sat on both sides of the long table, and the princes of each tribe alone came four, and the rest of the high-ranking people were even full, and at the end of the long table, the tall lord's seat was empty, waiting for his master to arrive.

After a few moments, the heavy mahogany door of the council hall was pushed open, and an old golden-crystal Celtic man in a simple robe strode in and sat straight on the throne.

This old man was the kind old man who had just talked to Jiang Xiu, but at this moment, there was no kindness on his face, only majesty and coldness.

The Celtic executives on either side of the long table stood up, bowed and said, "Greetings to Prince Toventden." ”

The old man is none other than the current head of the Celtic family, the chief consul of the Lunland, and the uncrowned emperor of the Celts today - Hilel Toventden!

Prince Toventden pressed his hands weakly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I just met an interesting little friend on the road, so I delayed a little time," Prince Toventden's mouth hooked a smile, but quickly withdrew, "Okay, now let's hurry up and start today's topic!"
