Creed of the heavens

"Oh beautiful lady, don't you know?"

Mimir likes to answer questions, not to mention that the questioner is a stunning beauty.

"Freya was the queen of the Valkyries before Odin deprived her of her warrior soul. All the Valkyries will only follow her orders, and Odin cannot exceed her authority."

"After the relationship between Odin and Freya broke down, the relationship between the Valkyrie and the King of God was tense for a while, and they even moved out of the Hall of Valor in Asgard and established a new foothold in Midgard. "

"I remember that it seems to be called the Valkyrie Council?"

In fact, the Valkyries are far more than those mentioned in the God of War 4 game. This is a special force composed of elite female warriors, commanded by Freya.

Lu Xiao couldn't remember the subplot of God of War 4, but those fallen Valkyries didn't seem to go out to attack everyone, but only reacted to intruders who approached a certain distance.

Mimir was silent for a while after learning the information: "I probably know what's going on."

"It should be that someone sealed the Valkyries before they were completely corrupted, maybe"

"No, there's no point in continuing to speculate."

Mimir encouraged Lu Xiao and the others: "It's a good idea to absorb divine power through the Valkyrie, which can just free them from their corrupted bodies, and we can also learn the truth from the Valkyrie. Try to restore the balance between life and death."

Lu Xiao threw Mimir's head on Fenrir's back, and Yuzao used a spell to temporarily bind him to Fenrir, so that Mimir could see the scene ahead, so that he could give timely reminders in times of crisis .

"Mimir, where is your suggestion to go first?"

Mimir thought about it: "Since you are worried that Baldr is still in Alfheim, then first search for places where the Asaphs are unlikely to go."

"My suggestion, first go to the Kingdom of Fire, Muspelheim."

Chapter 575 Story King Mimir

Muspelheim, the hometown of fire giants, and the inherent territory of Fire Lord Surtur.

In the prophecy of Ragnarok, Surtur played an important role. In the prophecy, he will release the power of the Demon Sword of Flame with all his strength, and let the flames engulf Asgard.

Lu Xiao didn't choose Muspelheim as the first choice before, mainly because he was afraid of Surtur, the Lord of Fire. It is said that he is a ruthless character on the same level as God King Odin.

Mimir recommended Muspelheim for a reason, and he told Lu Xiao a half-open secret.

Surtur disappeared completely hundreds of years ago, and no one knows where he went.

"Some say that Surtur is sleeping in the center of the earth in Muspelheim, while others say that he left his hometown and wandered around the Nine Realms hiding his identity."

"The only thing that is certain is that before the arrival of Ragnarok, some changes in Muspelheim will not attract Surtur's attention."

"When the magic wolf Hati and Skur catch up to the moon and the sun respectively, the winter of Fimbul, which lasts for three winters, will come."

"Winter of Fimbul?"

Lu Xiao had heard of this term before, it symbolized the beginning of Ragnarok.

"That's right." Mimir explained: "The three winters are called the Winter of the Wind, the Winter of the Sword, and the Winter of the Wolf in the prophecy, and they represent three major events that trigger Ragnarok respectively."

"When the unprecedented long winter ends, the Ragnarok will come that will destroy Asgard."

Ragnarok has been widely cited in a large number of academic and entertainment works, and the creators have their own unique understandings of this final battle of Nordic mythology.

From the perspective of the original scriptures, the twilight of the gods mainly refers to the war between the Yasa and Vanir gods and giants and monsters.

No one was victorious in this battle, and all the giants and monsters were killed in the battle of Ragnarok, and most of the main gods of the two great protoss also fell.

Lu Xiao had discovered something before, perhaps because of the influence of the World Tree, the time structure of the Nine Realms is very similar to a ring structure.

The prophecy will be very accurate in the Nine Realms under the World Tree. The confirmed prophecy is almost irreversible in the overall situation, but Odin believes that some fine-tuning can be made to the details without changing the general trend.

Now that Ragnarok was certain to come, Odin wanted to minimize its impact on Asgard.

In order to seduce Brock's brother Sindri, at the suggestion of Mimir, a group of people descended from the area not covered by shadows on the back of the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Mimir told some stories about Odin to Lu Xiao and the others.

These include some of the preparations he made to deal with Ragnarok, as well as the origin of the widely spread name of God Queen Frigga.

"Odin knew that Ragnarok would come sooner or later. In order to change his fate in this catastrophe, he made a lot of attempts."

"Getting the giant's prophecy ability is just one of them. He also adopted two wolves according to the prophecy, two demon wolves that will play an important role before Ragnarok."

"Hati and Skool."

"These two wolves are the deadly enemies of Asgard, born of the terrifying giant wolf Hosweitenir. Odin captured them when they were young wolves, and they have been domesticated in Asgard's kennel. .”

"When the sun and the moon have problems and hang in the sky and no longer operate according to the law, Odin uses ancient magic to send Skul and Hati to the sky."

"In their pursuit, the moon and sun began to function normally again."

"Skool and Hati are very diligent. They have been faithfully executing Odin's orders, but the process of chasing is not eternal."

"It was mentioned in the prophecy that one day the two demon wolves will overtake and devour their prey, and the prelude to Ragnarok will also begin."

Yong Zhen asked a little puzzled when he heard this: "Since Odin knew that Skul and Hati would bring Ragnarok, why did he adopt them? Killing them directly will break the prophecy, right?"

"No, no, ma'am, the prophecy is not so easy to break."

Mimir patiently explained: "Even without Skul and Hati, there will be other existences chasing and devouring the sun and the moon instead."

"Odin knows that he can't change the overall situation. He wants to use this small detail change to try to hold the initiative of Ragnarok in his own hands."

"Skool and Hati were domesticated by Odin, which means that Odin can control when they devour the sun and moon, and precisely grasp the time when Ragnarok opens."

Compared with Yongzhen, who has lived in modern society for a long time and has been influenced by modern works and myths and legends, Tamazamae is not very interested in the prophecies in Norse mythology, and she is more concerned about the relationship between Freya and Odin. relation.

"Oh Freya, poor Freya."

Speaking of the goddess who was born in the Vanir Protoss, Mimir was quite embarrassed.

"Strictly speaking, I killed her."

"At the beginning, I proposed to Odin to marry the Vanir Protoss, so as to stop the meaningless long war between the two sides."

"Freya decided to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her people. Freya, who is known as the most beautiful goddess in the Nine Realms, committed herself to marrying this bad old man Odin."

the most beautiful?

Lu Xiao's expression was a little weird, he had only seen Freya not long ago.

Although the goddess was indeed outstanding in appearance, it was far from being able to amaze Lu Xiao. The most beautiful standard of the Northern God was a bit too low.

Of course, it may also be that Lu Xiao got used to Yuzao's peerless appearance, and the upper limit of aesthetics was raised too high.
