Chapter 1290: Odin Has Changed But Not Completely
This "gift" to Queen Bretta is not just a simple compensation, and Sarean has another consideration.
Stormfjord is Odin's home base, and Valhalla hovers over the land.
Even if Odin drives Valhalla back to the vicinity of Ulduar in the future, Odin and Valhalla faith in Stormfjord will not disappear.
Saljan had no intention of competing with Odin for faith, what he wanted was more practical.
It is true that the Scorn Tide Clan is the largest Viku force in Stormfjord, but even in its heyday, the Scorn Tide Clan can only barely subdue the many Viku clans that also live in this land.
After years of civil strife, the power of the Tempt Tide Clan has not increased but decreased, and there have been many clans that have been in obscurity for many years trying to challenge their dominance in Stormfjord.
The Viku people have always valued the strong, and if Sarlian doesn't intervene, judging from Queen Breta's physical condition, even if she can get away with giving birth to offspring, it is impossible to protect the Tide Clan until the next generation grows up.
Rather than wasting time and trying to re-establish a Viku clan that is close to Quel'Thalas, it is better to take a hand by the way and re-establish the Scorn Tide Clan, which is already quite close to Sarren.
Belief in Odin? It doesn't matter, the culture of the Viku people does not value theocracy seriously, and they value the ability to continue fighting in Valhalla after death compared to Odin.
Salajan needed the Viku to step up and help Azeroth in times of crisis.
In this case, Stormfjord needs a relatively stable unified regime, and Queen Breita, the "Valkyrie" who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the gains and losses, is the best candidate for leadership.
For the foreseeable next few years, the ruined Tide Clan should be able to maintain its current status and territory until the next generation grows up before embarking on the path of expansion again.
After a few years, Salian could afford to wait.
In exchange for a few years of waiting for the gratitude and support of a powerful Viku regime, the business is definitely not a loss.
As Queen Bretta herself said, after years of fighting on the battlefield, her body is indeed overdrawn, and she has long lost the ability to have children again.
And the life force that Sarian gave her could repair the many dark wounds in her body, giving her the opportunity to give birth to offspring again, and continue the bloodline of the patriarch of the Tempt Chao clan.
Queen Breta, who is not low in emotional intelligence, will definitely express her gratitude accordingly for this, and will despise the Chao Clan...... Even all the Viku of Stormfjord were tied to the chariot of Quel'Thalas.
With Queen Breta's grateful send-off, Sarjan and Stellagossa returned to dragon form and accelerated together towards Valhalla, suspended in the clouds.
Under normal circumstances, the only way to Valhalla is through Vagri's lead, as most mortals can't fly.
Sarjan and Stellagosa were not required to follow this rule, and with Odin's acquiescence, they broke out of the clouds and appeared directly in front of the gates of Valhalla.
El the King of Vargri had been ordered to wait here, and she respectfully welcomed Saren and Stellagosa into the interior of Valhalla.
"Mr. Deep Shadow, Miss Stella Gossah, Lord Odin has been waiting for you for a long time."
On the way to the main hall with Al, a large number of Vagri and Valhalla warriors lined up on both sides of the road, weapons held aloft to welcome the guests visiting Valhalla.
"The ceremony was quite grand."
Stella Gossa quietly communicated with Saljan through the soul link: "Does this mean that Odin has changed his ...... to mortals? Or the attitude of flesh and blood? ”
"Perhaps." Saljan's expression remained unfazed: "Odin is the military leader of the Titan Guardians, and his style of action is more simple and direct than that of the head of the civilian government, but that doesn't mean that he is a brainless and reckless man. ”
"This is different from the past, in the tens of thousands of years that Odin was sealed in Valhalla, Azeroth has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now it is a mortal age in the true sense."
"It is impossible for anyone to reverse the general trend of the times with their own strength, and if they can't take the initiative to adapt to the current environment, they will eventually be abandoned by the times."
"If he continues to hold the shelf of chief manager in the age of mortals, Odin and Valhalla will inevitably suffer the consequences, and he himself understands this, so it is not surprising that his attitude has changed."
"And ......"
Salian said pointedly, "Yesterday's incident also pushed behind Odin's plan to change. ”
Stellagosa's eyes flickered slightly, "You mean, Odin had a full glimpse of your destruction of the rebels of the Scorntide...... Fight? ”
Truth be told, yesterday's mess wasn't a battle at all, because the situation was so one-sided that Skowald didn't have any power to fight back from start to finish.
Stormfjord is Odin's backyard, and the arrival of Sarren will of course attract the attention of the Wagri, who guessed from the beginning that Odin, who had received the news, would hide in the sky and spy on his every move.
Because of this, he will forcefully wipe out all the contemptuous rebel elites led by Skowald in one fell swoop, and also throw Skowald's soul into the shadow world to be arbitrated in front of Odin.
To put it bluntly, Sarlian was deliberately flexing his muscles, so that Odin could correct his attitude in advance before the meeting.
The current Sarren is no longer the little transparent who could only be respectful in front of Odin a few years ago.
As Sarren and Little Star entered the Honey Hall as they were greeted by a large number of Heroic Warriors and Vargri, Odin burst into a loud and heroic laugh.
"Look who's coming! Sarean, my old friend, hasn't seen you in a long time! ”
【…… This guy's attitude has become really fast. 】
[I still like how unruly you looked back then. 】
Saljan was also a little uncomfortable with Odin's overly obvious change in attitude, and he had expected Odin to maintain at least the most basic reserve as a chief manager.
'Is it?' ’
Noticing the meaningful look in Odin's lone eye, Sary moved with relief.
I see. ’
Although he doesn't like unnecessary greetings, with Sarren's current identity and status, acting on the scene is always inevitable.
"Chief Manager, Lord Odin, we haven't seen each other in years."
"A few years? Hehe. Odin smiled meaningfully: "I wasn't sure the last time we met, but now it seems ...... The first time I heard about you was around the time of the fall of the Dark Empire tens of thousands of years ago, right? ”
Al was visibly shocked as he returned behind Odin, and Odin's astonishing words caused a small commotion in the mead hall.
Al frowned slightly as he looked at the very young-looking Sarlian and Stellagosa.
According to the information that Wagri has collected over the years, the history of the elves is less than 20,000 years, and the dragons are a little longer, but they are far from the days when the Dark Empire still exists, what is going on? ’
Stellagosa's eyes also showed a strange look, only Sarren still smiled calmly.
"Yes, but at that time, I had only seen you, Torim, and Hodir's heroic appearance on the battlefield from afar, and I had not met directly."
"Harm~"
Odin smiled disapprovingly and waved his hand: "If it weren't for the important help you provided by infiltrating Angela City, we wouldn't have been able to take Cthun so quickly." ”
"After the war, Mimiron and Freya mentioned you and the girl named Valera to me many times, but for some reason when it came to the details, the two began to talk about him."
"Now I finally get it...... The Northdorm guy did it, right? ”
After receiving Saljan's smiling and nodding acknowledgement, Odin said with some emotion: "I'm ashamed to say that none of us Titan Guardians can inherit the power of time from the Father of the Gods, and the appearance of Nozdorm has finally filled the vacancy of Azeroth in this regard." ”
'The power of time?! ’
Al was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly appeared: "I see, no wonder......
Entertained by Odin's mead and big fish and meat, Sarren and Stella Gossa temporarily blended into the wild feast of the Viku people.
After drinking most of the Heroic Warriors who had taken the initiative to come up to toast, Sarean was still there, and there was not even a hint of burgundy on his face.
After three rounds of drinking, Odin and Al, who were also not the slightest drunk, took Sarjan and Stellagosa to the arena behind the mead hall to "talk" about business.
A majestic Heroic Warrior with a full body of gold armor was already waiting here.
"According to Valhalla's rules." Odin smiled and said to the two, "If you want my help, you must first prove your worth. ”
"Heimdall, Al out of the ranks."
"Yes!"
The Golden-Armored Warrior and El stood in front of Sarren and Stella Gosa, one on the left and one on the right.
Odin sat in his exclusive seat in the deepest part of the arena, leaning on the armrest with one hand to prop up his face.
"Let's get started, whether you're two of you together or alone, and after passing the test of Heimdall and Al, we'll get down to business."
