After executing the villager in public, Ivar said to the villagers cordially:
"Is he innocent? Nine times out of ten, yes. But he died all because of that coward who sneaked up on me and didn't dare to come out. Of course, being magnanimous, I don't want to pursue who that is, I just hope that he can be well in the future Hide his magic - if he continues to sneak up on me like this, ten villagers will die because of him next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier behind Ivar suddenly raised his ax and struck at him. Fortunately, the other soldiers reacted in time and restrained the soldier.
Ivar became a little irritable: "Who is it? Who is it!"
No one answered.
"No one admits it, right? Okay, then I'll fulfill my promise!"
Ten villagers were pulled to the front. Ivar ignored their pleas for mercy and the cries of the villagers, and let the soldiers chop off their heads one by one. After doing this, Ivar shouted to everyone with a face full of blood:
"Next time - if there is a next time, the dead villagers will become a hundred!"
However, before he finished speaking, another soldier turned against Ivar. Ivar thrust his angry sword into the soldier's heart, then pulled it out, spilling blood among the kneeling villagers.
He looked at the commotion among the villagers and said only one word: "Kill!"
The villagers began to flee in terror. But it was all in vain as Ivar's army surrounded him.
No one has counted how many people Ivar killed this time - maybe a hundred, maybe two hundred, maybe three hundred. Blood spread all over the square. It wasn't until Ivar shouted "stop" that the killing finally stopped.
"If there's a next time--"
Ivar's sword hangs high above them all
"Just kill them all!"
However, there was still a soldier who slashed at Ivar with his weapon. Ivar furiously burned him to ashes, and then hurriedly stopped the soldiers who had already raised their axes: "Stop! If they are all dead, there will be no way to trap Scipio!"
After calming down, Ivar let the soldiers carry him around the houses around the square. When passing an inconspicuous cabin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed to a nearby house - "The magician is there!"
The soldiers immediately rushed over and surrounded the house.
"Why are you so focused on killing me?" Ivar shouted towards the house. "Look! You have killed so many people!"
Amy was escorted from the house by two soldiers. Hearing Ivar's question, she sneered and responded: "Ivar, it was you who killed those villagers, not me. It was you who killed them, not me."
"This is not a place to shirk responsibility! Do you understand? They are dead! They can never be resurrected! Aren't they your neighbors? Why can you do such a thing without hesitation? So many people are in front of you. Don’t you have any hesitation about dying?”
"Thinking? No. Rather, I would like to ask, why don't you fulfill your promise and kill them all?"
Amy smiled, like a blooming mandala.
——If Ivar would be harmful to Ella, try to kill him.
——If the people of Zealand would be unfavorable to Ella, the same would be true.
If it were her Majesty, between her and the lives of thousands of people, he would definitely choose the latter. Because Ella is king. That is the kind of courage one should have to become a king.
"But if I had to choose, between His Majesty and the lives of everyone in Zealand - no, even if I had to choose between Your Majesty and the lives of everyone in the world, I would choose the former without hesitation."
"Because of me, just me."
"I seem to have understood that love is like this. It is like a fire. In order to maintain the heat, it can burn everything it touches."
——The blessing of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was gone on Amy’s body.
Ivar also laughed for some reason.
He asked his men to lift him in front of Amy, stretched out a finger, carefully blew out the flame on his finger, and then used it to drag Amy's face lovingly.
He looked at Amy, who stared back at him.
"The magic you just used was the blessing of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. It's called that in the Seven Hills Empire, right?"
"how do you know?"
"We Scandinavians also have a goddess of love in our faith, but the name of the goddess of love is not Aphrodite, but Frigga. I used to be protected by Frigga, I know her protective effect best - she is called the God of Love, but what she is best at is controlling people's hearts."
The whole army was shocked. In the Pirate Kingdom, Ivar's type of protection has always been a mystery. It was not until a few days ago that he openly announced that he was protected by the evil god Loki. But now, he said it was Frigga, the Goddess of Love - Ivar's whole body was covered in flames, so how could he be protected by the Goddess of Love?
"There is no doubt that I was originally protected by Frigga, the goddess of love - until I met my wife."
Ivar imitated Amy and smiled. Amy's smile is like a mandala, and Ivar's smile is like a poppy. .
"No one will understand that I love her so much. But her parents, a small lord from a poor place, dare to oppose our marriage. And she is so timid and dare not disobey her parents."
"So, I let my men invade the territory, looted it, and killed her father, mother, and brother. And I led another army to show up at the last moment and rescued her. Capturing her heart - it has the same effect as the protection of Cupid, right?"
"However, Frigga's protection not only did not strengthen after that, but disappeared. Why? Why? Is there anyone else who understands the nature of the God of Love better than me?"
"——Instead, it is the blessing of Loki, the god of fire and trickery. It is simply inexplicable, right? Loki is an evil god. I have never, nor do I want to understand his nature. I have never heard of it. Who has ever been protected by Loki?"
"However, after Frigga's protection disappeared, Loki's protection appeared naturally. Then I understood that I had actually understood the nature of the God of Love. Love itself is accompanied by trickery and fire. Frigga Jia revealed her true face in front of me - that is the God of Fire Loki!"
"However, Loki is an evil god in people's perception. Especially my father, who was protected by Odin. He discovered the true nature of my protection. This unprecedented protection made He was afraid. He lost both my legs and claimed it was due to illness."
"In mythology, Fenrir, the giant wolf born from Loki's wife, killed Odin in Ragnarok. My father was afraid again, so he killed my wife again - Oh, Odin Ding’s protection! Odin in mythology is such a god. In order to maintain his rule, he can do anything!”
"Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
Ivar rubbed Amy's cheek.
"Because I think you also have the potential to be protected by Loki."
"It's a pity that I got him before you did. There can only be one spokesperson for Loki, the one who brings the end of Odin."
