Chapter 44: The Valkyrie's Ride

Most of this fantastic hall is shrouded in shadows, but by the reflection of the smooth floor, a throne can be seen in the middle of the hall.

That's where the host should be.

Although the main hall is delicately decorated in a rococo style, the overall frame is actually a classic Esyard longhouse, with a rectangular hall and two rows of columns along the long side, with the main entrance on one side and the master's seat on the other.

In the ancient Esyadian long hall, a long bonfire would be in the middle, and the brave warriors would set up long tables in a square and sit around the fire, feasting and drinking all day long.

In this hall, there is nothing in the middle, only a floor where the light can be seen.

But on the throne, Arthur saw a figure.

"Alone. ”

Magellan could not be mistaken, he crossed the baron and the professor and walked towards the throne.

Walking through the shadows, Magellan came to the end of the hall, where he finally saw the man on the throne.

It was a beautiful aristocratic lady.

"Hello, distinguished lady. ”

Magellan bowed and saluted in the standard local language.

But the lady on the throne was indifferent, and she said nothing.

The other three who heard Magellan stepped forward, and the baron was the first to notice the problem: "She's not breathing." ”

Arthur looked up at the figure and was about to speak in agreement with the baron, when he was interrupted.

"Of course, you filthy bastard. ”

It was a woman's voice.

By the time the first word rang in the ears of the four, the figure in the seat had already disappeared, and each of the next words came from a different location.

When the last word came to the ears of the four, Magellan held out his hand.

He held a spear, the tip of which was pointed at the back of the baron's head, and at the other end of the spear, the hands holding the spear belonged to the beautiful lady who had just sat in her chair.

"Sorry......"

Before Magellan could finish his words, a special force came from the barrel of the gun, carrying him out of place, and the next moment appeared in the air.

"Mortal!"

The woman with the gun had a furious look on her face, and she gripped the barrel of the gun tightly, ready to throw Magellan out.

"I'm sorry. ”

But the result did not go as she wanted, Magellan not only did not let go of the spear, but also fell to the ground with the woman.

"We have no ill will, and the baron is not an illegitimate child. ”

A sneer appeared on the woman's face: "I did not allow you to enter my castle, I have my own hospitality for uninvited guests. ”

She let go of the spear and disappeared in place.

The four men in the hall looked around, but they couldn't see anything.

Then the sound of horses' hooves rang in everyone's ears.

With the sound of the wind from the flapping of wings, the crisp sound of horses' hooves approached rapidly, and then a little golden light appeared in front of Magellan's eyes.

It was the cold light of the tip of the spear, and the person holding the gun was the woman who had just disappeared.

"Stop, Valkyrie. ”

Magellan opened his hands to the woman, but the spear was still straight to his heart.

Then the cold light flashed.

The warhorse neighed and stood upright, and the Valkyrie above let out an angry roar, she held the barrel of the gun in her hand, and was blocked by the terrifying force coming from above, and almost flew backwards.

"Mortal!"

The Valkyrie finally let go of her spear, sat down on her horse, bowed her head and roared at Magellan.

"Why interrupt my slumber!"

"Gjallar has been blown out. ”

This sentence was like some incantation, and in an instant the Valkyrie fell silent.

She lowered her hair and let out a sob: "What have I done......"

"Please don't worry, I've killed Nidhogg and all darkness is gone. ”

Valkyrie was silent for a long time, then she raised her hands.

The horses and spears were gone, and the Valkyrie stood in front of Magellan, on one knee.

"I once swore that I would marry the warrior who defeated me. ”

Magellan laughed: "Your name is ......"

"Brunhilde!"

Professor Granger interrupted Magellan with a cry of surprise, and he rushed past Arthur, who was standing in front of him, and ran towards the Valkyrie.

"Yes. ”

Valkyrie looked at the man in front of her who didn't look like a warrior at all in surprise, and nodded.

"That legend is true!"

Professor Granger looked overjoyed, much to the surprise and confusion of the Valkyrie Brunhilde.

"It's going to be a long story, please sit down, and if you can, I'd like to have dinner here." ”

"As you wish, mighty warrior. ”

The Valkyrie clapped her hands, and then a flame ignited.

Like the longhouse of the ancient Esyadians, there is a fire pit in the center of the hall, surrounded by long tables and wooden chairs, and the tables are full of delicacies and wines.

"This is the courtesy that a warrior deserves, so feel free to take it. ”

Magellan pulled Professor Granger and the baron, who wanted to say something, to the table and poured them a full glass of wine.

"As I said, it's going to be a long story. ”

Brunhilde, the famous heroine of legend, the wife of a dragon-slaying warrior, the mighty Valkyrie, who is almost a mythical figure, now appears to mortals, in the baron's ancestral castle.

There were so many twists and turns in the process, and Magellan knew that the baron would not continue his journey without making it clear.

Countless candles lit up the hall, and the wine cooled the impulses of the Baron and Professor Granger, and they began to listen patiently to Brunhilde's story, a story of reality and myth that was incomparably long.

Valkyrie's husband was the mighty Esyad warrior, the ancestor of the baron, the ancient Schmidt, who found almost all the inheritance of the second generation of ancestors, even more powerful than the Valkyrie.

So after a battle, Brunhilde, by his oath, married this mortal warrior who was more powerful than her.

The combination of two invincible warriors led to a series of victories, a vast and rich territory, a beautiful castle, and happy days.

This is the end of the intersection of reality and story, and the next-so-legendary everyday becomes: a hundred years later, Brunhilde's husband dies peacefully.

This made the Valkyrie furious, even though she had expected it.

The Esyadians who died in their beds were not eligible to enter Valhalla, and the Valkyrie had hoped that her husband would have access to the eternal Golden Palace, with whom she would stay until Ragnarok, where he would sleep peacefully at the last stop of glory.

The contrast between reality and ideals was so great that Brunhilde was saddened, and worse, she became an immortal widow.
