Creed of the heavens

Yuzao rubbed between his brows in confusion, interrupting Mimir's story.

"Didn't you say that Odin hates giants? The Hunting Queen, she should also be a giant."

"It's not contradictory."

Mimir explained: "Odin hates giants, but it doesn't mean he hates every giant."

"For example, Thor's mother, Fjorgen, is a giant and one of Odin's favorite people."

"Cough~ Tell me the story again."

"Skadi has no interest in Odin, who likes to play tricks and schemes. She rejected the king of the gods in public without any mercy, which naturally angered Odin."

"Odin vowed to take revenge on the arrogant Queen of the Hunt. He fabricated a rumor that an eagle had stolen the golden apples from the orchard of the goddess Iden. The gods could do nothing with this eagle."

"After receiving this news, Skadi couldn't suppress her hunting spirit. She took a bow and arrow and chased after the eagle. After countless days of chasing, she finally shot the eagle down from the sky with her perfect archery skills. .”

At this point in the story, Lu Xiao and the others have already understood the next development, and the faces of the three of them are not very good-looking.

"When Skadi rushed to pick up the prey, the eagle had already disappeared, leaving only the cold body of Skadi's father Sharkey."

"Skadi accepted her fate when winter fell. With shame and remorse, she picked up her father's body and returned to her hometown, and disappeared into the snowfield that no one knew about."

"until today."

Chapter 603 Odin, take your blame

There is a big gap between Mimir's story and the Skadi legend in Lu Xiao's memory.

After meeting the Frost Giant King Skadi in the Marvel World last time, Lu Xiao went back to the real world and inquired about the myths and legends related to her.

In the original Norse mythology, Skadi is also a member of the giant family, known as the god of winter and the goddess of snowshoes.

The innate lifespan of the gods in Norse mythology is not endless. They need to eat the golden apples cultivated by the goddess of youth Iden for a long time to prolong their lifespan and stay young forever.

Skadi's father, Sharkey, took a fancy to Asgard's golden apples, conspired with Loki, the troublemaker, to abduct the goddess of youth, and asked Asgard to exchange them with golden apples.

The giants who dared to threaten Asgard did not have a good end, and Sharkey was no exception. Under Loki's betrayal, he eventually died in the hands of the gods of Asgard.

After learning of his father's death, Skadi went to Asgard furiously, which triggered the allusion that Skadi chose her husband.

After marrying a member of the Asaph clan, Skadi was regarded as a member of Asgard in legend, and the follow-up is unknown.

This is already the fourth version of Skadi's story that I know of

The first is the original Norse mythology, the second is the new king of the Frost Giants in the Marvel world, and the third is a purple-haired old cough who likes to sing!

Withdrawing her scattered thoughts, Lu Xiao covered the permafrost ice with her hands, closed her eyes and let her soul thread go deep into the ice to explore.

The bodies of Skadi and Sharkey have long lost their life characteristics, and Sharkey's soul is also missing. It should be attracted to Helheim for reincarnation.

But Lu Xiao felt some soul fluctuations from Skadi's frozen body.

"Yongzhen, Xiaoyu, take care of my body."

After arranging the body, Lu Xiao entered the eternally frozen ice in the way of soul out of body, and submerged into Skadi's sea of ​​consciousness.

This special spiritual space is completely dark, without any sunshine or natural beauty, which is completely inconsistent with her title of Queen of Hunting.

Lu Xiao searched for a long time in the dark environment, and finally found an autistic woman sitting with her knees hugged in a remote corner.

With her head completely buried between her knees, she shut herself off like an ostrich, immersed in a private world of grief and guilt.

"clatter"

Skadi doesn't know how many years she has been in a state of self-loathing, and no one has bothered her before, and no one has tried to save her.

Accompanied by a sudden crisp sound, the dark sea of ​​consciousness space suddenly burst into light.

The first thing Skadi's senses captured was the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The dark ground was replaced by green grass. Judging from the changes in light and shadow on the ground, Queen Hunt guessed that she was in a strange forest.

"Who?"

Skadi, heartbroken, slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the front with helpless eyes.

A strange man in black tight armor stood in front of him, looking at her with interest.

"Humanity?"

Perhaps it was due to being autistic for too long and no one communicated with him, so Skadi's words seemed a little clumsy.

"Hello, Hunting Queen Scati."

Lu Xiao waved to the unmotivated Skadi in a friendly way: "I am a traveler from beyond the Nine Realms, Lu Xiao."

"It has nothing to do with me, out of my consciousness."

Subconsciously wanted to exclude Lu Xiao from his sea of ​​consciousness, but Skadi was surprised to find that he couldn't do it, and Lu Xiao still stood in front of him with an old god.

The face of the supposedly heroic Queen Hunting was full of despondency as she lost hope in life: "What do you want to do?"

Stika was not dumb in the first place, nor did she have a language barrier. As the number of words communicated increased, her sentences gradually became fluent.

Lu Xiao shrugged and said, "I came here to save you, and at the same time to ask for your help."

There was a sneer at the corner of Skadi's mouth: "Save me? Save me, an unfilial daughter who killed her father?"

Since the tragedy, Skadi has locked his soul in perpetual ice.

Judging from her obsession and the powerful resentment she exudes now, it would not be surprising to become a resentful spirit.

However, the fact is that Skadi still maintains her normal soul form, perhaps it is the isolation effect of the permafrost ice that keeps her from falling.

Lu Xiao squatted down and looked at Skadi who was sitting with her knees hugged: "You think Xia Ji's death is your fault?"

Recalling the past, Skadi's soul fluctuations intensified, and he asked excitedly: "Otherwise? If I wasn't confused by the hunting impulse, how could I not recognize my father!"

"wrong!"

Lu Xiao interrupted Skadi's self-confession: "If you think about it carefully, is it really normal for the hunting queen to recognize the wrong thing?"

"Who told you about the eagle? And who is behind the scenes, misleading your understanding of Sharkey?"

Because the mental impact caused by patricide was too strong, Skadi never thought about this issue carefully, and she blamed all her faults on herself.

Under Lu Xiao's guidance, Skadi, who has hated herself for many years, finally calms down and thinks about the truth behind the tragedy of that year.

Lu Xiaoyu persuasively said: "Children killing their fathers is a human tragedy that shouldn't have happened. It is understandable for you to blame yourself for this."
