16. I have Admiral Egret

Valhalla, a place managed and maintained by the valiant Valkyrie, is the home of the souls of all warriors from ancient times to the present day, and after being brought to Valkyrie by the chosen souls, these souls do not dissipate, and there is no such thing as "reincarnation" or "reincarnation", in the records of mythological books, Valhalla's warriors fought to the death during the day, drank and had fun at night, and even if they were mortally injured in the morning, they would recover in the evening. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this is just a scene that people "imagined", and after actually seeing the goddess and seeing Valkyrie, Beidou has a little doubt about the description of Valhalla in the record. The goddesses already exist, so the souls of warriors naturally exist, but ...... If they are good human souls, is it really possible to fight each other day after day after death? At least, not all warriors are willing to do this, because the people who can be brought to Valkyrie by Valkyrie should at least be brave, resourceful and decisive "warriors", not "reckless men" who can only look at everything and wield weapons.

After a few simple exchanges, Valkyrie, who didn't seem to like to speak, was even more speechless, and his speed gradually increased, his arm was dragged casually, and he was even more "carried" a little sore, but Beidou's attention had already been attracted by a towering black tower in the distance.

Very high, this is the first impression, if you calculate the distance, the tower will probably be very large, it seems, that is the destination Valhalla this time.

Valkyrie, who saw the Black Tower, finally stopped in mid-air after advancing some distance with Beidou, and then said in a deep voice, "This is Valhalla." It is divided into nine floors, and there is no connecting passage between each floor, in other words, you can't go up and down, you can only choose from the outside. ”

“...... Very, spectacular. Beidou carefully looked at the Valhalla in front of him, if he could take pictures now, he would definitely take a bunch of them and take them home to study. Valhalla's exterior is no different from a normal Western-style tower, and there are some signs of damage in the corners and corners, but for some reason...... It has always exuded a heavy momentum that makes it impossible to "joke".

It's like when facing an army after a difficult victory, even if their clothes are tattered and their weapons are bent, no one can laugh at these warriors, or ...... Even the idea of ridicule could not have appeared.

I see, is it the power of the soul of a warrior?

"That's true, and I'm proud of it. Valkyrie straightened her chest, and being able to manage such a temple could be regarded as a kind of "honor" for her.

"The souls of the warriors of the world are varied, and their value to me and to the Lord God is also different. As you can see, Valhalla is divided into nine layers, and the 'strength' of the soul on each layer will be different, and the higher you go, the stronger the soul will be, and in layman's terms, the strength and deeds of this human warrior during his lifetime are more admired by the gods. Of course, the rarer such souls will be. ”

After a pause, Valkyrie turned his head, "Since Your Excellency only needs the soul of a warrior, then in the spirit of morality and gratitude, I must also choose the soul of the top level as much as possible to give to Your Excellency. Now the highest authority I can deploy is on the sixth level, and I don't have the right to use it beyond that, I hope you can understand. ”

"It's okay, it's okay! six floors are enough!" Beidou hurriedly waved his hand, while glad that there was no lion opening his mouth before. If it was too much in one breath at that time, it is conceivable that Valkyrie would not bother as much as he does now, at most he would randomly select some souls on the first and second floors and send them out.

Between "quality" and "quantity", Beidou is now more inclined to "quality", after all, the tactics of the sea of people are not suitable for use in the world where Beidou stays, and the affairs of monsters and their own safety, only one "elite" can be competent.

"Okay, then come with me. ”

Valkyrie took another step, and soon the soles of Beidou's feet also had a solid feeling similar to stepping on the ground, and the white clouds under his feet were unexpectedly hard, as if to facilitate Valkyrie to open the door here.

After taking Beidou to the black carved tower gate, Valkyrie waved his hand lightly at the tower gate, watching the tower door slowly open very "intimately", gradually revealing everything in the sixth floor of Valhalla.

"Is there anything worth caring about?"

"Ah, no, sorry. ”

Valkyrie's cry woke Beidou up suddenly, and he hurriedly followed her into Valhalla. The reason why Beidou was stunned was not because he was afraid, nor because he was nervous, but because of the picture that appeared in the hall at the same time as the door slowly opened.

Candles, all candles, up and down, in all corners, densely packed in Valhalla, where there is not a single bit of clutter. The candles, which seemed to never burn out, kept flickering with a faint blue candlelight, illuminating the red carpet on the floor, illuminating the pitted walls, and illuminating the stone chairs at the end......

Needless to doubt, Beidou knew why these countless candles were in Valhalla, as they were the souls of the human warriors chosen by Valkyrie. Even if it was just a vague effect that was difficult to capture, Beidou could see clearly what was "inside" through the faint blue candlelight.

It was a series of brave men, some whipping horses and swords, rushing ahead of thousands of knights, some in blood-stained robes, with resolute smiles and undisguised glory, holding guns to meet countless enemies, and some were tied to the cross, without the slightest fear, but madly roaring at Beidou's unintelligible words, watching the flames under his feet burn.

"These candles are the embodiment of the souls of the warriors I have selected, and of course, you do not need to doubt whether these souls still have the courage to die after death. ”

Valkyrie led Beidou through the candles, "After selecting the souls, I will cut off their other emotions and memories, leaving only their part about courage. In other words, they spend each day in the company of the most glorious moments of their lives, and then after they die, their memories are reset, and they go back to the previous time to 'fight' again. ”

"This ......"

Valkyrie's words that were "normal" to her were dumbfounded, although it wasn't clear what these goddesses were thinking about every day, but Valkyrie's method was ...... It's like ...... Enslaved to the soul.

"Is this really good?"

"But this is the only way to keep the soul of a warrior in its original 'sharpness'. Valkyrie sighed, "And I'm not going to take them away by force, and when they're dead I'll ask their souls if they're willing to repeat it." I will naturally let go of those who refuse, because their level can only go that far, and what is burning here are souls who are willing to step into reincarnation and make me admire. ”

Voluntarily...... Do any souls really do that? Repeat death over and over again, just to keep their glory......

"With all due respect, Your Excellency can't understand their insistence yet, but only they know what is right and wrong in the hearts of every warrior. ”

Valkyrie coughed dryly, "Your Excellency, can I choose a soul for you?"

"Ah, okay, please. ”

Beidou glanced at the candles all over the place again, and caught up with Valkyrie's footsteps, "Then, if you choose well, will the soul listen to me?"

"At that time, I will add their original memories back to their souls, although it will be necessary to negotiate, but it will not be a problem if I explain it, please rest assured. ”

Valkyrie pondered for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and took a candlestick in his hand, which was placed alone in the wall, "Your Excellency, what do you think of this lady's soul?"

Lady...... But since it is a single candlestick, it shows the soul of this warrior...... I must have been very powerful when I was alive.

Beidou, who was in a complicated mood, approached the candlestick, but what he saw was not a female tyrannosaurus full of muscles, five or three rough axes, but a female mage with a white hat and white robe and a slender body. She stood alone in the middle of the wasteland, surrounded by the corpses of fallen knights and mages, not in the same camp, and the two sides must have just ended a terrible fight. And at this moment, small black dots began to appear in the distance of the white-robed female mage, more and more, more and more dense, that is...... Enemy.

But...... Why don't you run away? Why...... Even if you sacrifice your life, you have to stay here alone, like the most desolate and miserable hero, to meet the last courage in life?

"This warrior's name is Egret, and she is also the strongest of the souls on the sixth level of Valhalla. She is in a history of magic, and was instructed by the queen she served at the time, so in order to protect her country, she did not choose to flee after the first battle, but met the enemy's next attack alone, and finally used her magic to kill more than 10,000 people, and used the forbidden spell that she could no longer use at that time, and finally disappeared with the magic that fell. Originally, her soul was going to be wiped out, but I kept it on my own initiative, such a warrior, even if it was my arbitrariness, I don't want her to disappear. ”

More than 10,000 people...... It may sound like a number, but it's actually quite as simple as it seems. After all, people are not microorganisms or bacteria, everyone has thoughts and actions, and in the face of the attack of enemies who are probably more than that, this mage can still ......

"That'...... What happened after that?" Beidou couldn't help but ask, "What happened after that...... Did she succeed in keeping her country?"

“...... No, I can't say that. What I can explain and intervene in is only the soul itself, the times and history, which I can say at will. ”

A hint of darkness crossed Valkyrie's face, and she ...... Was that just anger?

"But I assure you, she's absolutely powerful. Putting aside the factors of deeds and the times, if you only talk about the strength of the soul during its lifetime, the Egret is at least the strength of the seventh and eighth layers. If she's in perfect shape and fights to the death, I'm going to be scared of three points. ”

Is it a human mage who can make Valkyries jealous...... Indeed, as far as helpers go, she is already more suitable, but ......

"Can you keep this for now? Beidou pondered for a while, although Valkyrie's explanation was already the most reliable guarantee, but if the soul of a mage like Egret was brought to his own world, I am afraid it would still be a little inappropriate.

After all, there is no tragic battle of thousands of troops in the world of Beidou, and the existence of monsters is only in secret, and they will not blatantly harm people. If you choose an egret, there is a feeling of overuse and killing chickens with a knife.

"Then, what kind of soul do you want to seek?" Seeing Beidou's refusal, Valkyrie carefully put the candlestick back, "Say what you want, and I can choose." ”

"Hmm...... My place is quite peaceful, so I'd rather pick and choose...... A soul that moves a little less. The type of magician who can die with a wave of his hand like the one just now may not be suitable. Of course, this kind of soul had better have a little strength to protect me. ”

"I see, not to fight, but to live......" Valkyrie nodded, turned and began to search the ground, then picked up a candle, "Your Excellency...... What do you think of the souls of these 'warriors'?"
