"One thousand two hundred years!!!"
"Ancestor... have you seen it? We are finally here, they are finally back!"
"We have not broken your promise. After one thousand and two hundred years, we finally waited for the Valkyries. They finally came to us!"
Old man Axel cried bitterly, as if he had endless grievances, and tears rushed out of his eyes.
The old man's loud cry, which could not be blocked by the decaying wooden house, attracted other people in the town.
At first, the villagers were shocked at why there were more than a dozen outsiders here.
But under the explanation of the little boy Jens, all the villagers unexpectedly unanimously agreed when they learned that it was the Valkyrie. They were as excited as the old man, and they cried and screamed to the sky.
For a moment, the sound of crying was loud.
Arvette felt very uncomfortable, and she could tell from these voices how much depression these villagers had accumulated!
As time passed, several people rushed to tell each other.
Almost everyone in the town gathered outside this wooden house, and the room was even more packed.
The sight of hundreds of people crying and howling made even Lord, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, feel his eyelids twitching wildly.
"Stop crying!"
A thunderous voice sounded, suppressing the cries of everyone.
I saw a large crowd gathered outside Axel's old man's house. They consciously parted a road and walked out of a rough and arrogant man with disheveled hair. It was the Wiglaf mentioned by Zhanfeng.
"It's embarrassing, shut up!" Wiglaf's deep and rich voice sounded like muffled thunder.
Wiglaf obviously had great prestige in the town. His lion-like eyes glanced around, and the many excited villagers shut their mouths obediently.
Seeing that the villagers had clearly settled down, Wiglaf frowned, waved his hand and said, "Don't gather here yet, let me talk to these Valkyries."
Although the villagers were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to go against his words. They had to slowly exit the small wooden house one by one and squat outside the house.
The house was empty in an instant. Lord took a breath and felt that his buzzing brain finally calmed down.
"Are you...really Valkyrie?"
Wiglaf looked at the many Valkyries, still a little unbelievable, and took a deep breath and asked.
"Replacement guaranteed."
Arvette nodded: "We are indeed Valkyrie, so...can you tell us the truth about that aurora? There are still one thousand two hundred years of waiting, what is going on?"
They have too many questions in their minds and can't wait to know the truth.
"Before that, please answer me a question." Wiglaf straightened his back, put his hands flat on his knees, and exuded a domineering aura, like a glaring lion!
Arvit said: "Okay."
"Well, what I want to ask is..."
Wiglaf nodded slightly and asked: "According to the agreement, you should have come back a long time ago. Why are you a whole thousand or two hundred years late?"
"because......"
Arvette sighed: "We have been dead for thousands of years, and our souls are wandering in Helheim. We were not freed until recently."
Brünnhilde was afraid that the other party would not believe it, so she added immediately: "And we didn't know anything about this place before this, and all the information was concealed."
"If we hadn't escaped from Helheim and accidentally came to Norway to see the aurora, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known about it even in a thousand years."
"You mean...you guys came back from the dead?"
Hearing this, Wiglaf showed a look of surprise on his face, which showed that Valkyrie didn't seem to be lying, so he could only believe this explanation: "What did you mean when you just said that you didn't know about this?"
Brünnhilde was about to answer, but Arvette grabbed her and said first, "Sorry, we can't talk about this."
"Yeah......."
Wiglaf took a deep look and seemed to understand something, so he did not continue to ask further questions, but just sighed.
Arvette said: "Excuse me, can you tell us about the aurora now?"
"Since you don't know, let me tell you all over again, about our ancestor, the real story of Beowulf." A flash of memory appeared in Wiglaf's eyes, and then he slowly started telling it.
Around the eighth century AD.
Located in the country of Kit in modern Sweden, a prince with natural divine power appeared. His name was Beowulf.
When Beowulf was young, his martial arts reached its peak. At that time, no one in the country was his opponent.
So, at his mother's suggestion, Beowulf decided to travel around to increase his knowledge and experience.
After going through all kinds of hardships, crossing the Navea Mountains and crossing the Baltic Sea, the young Beowulf came to the country in modern Denmark. He heard that King Hrothgar was offering a huge reward for hunting a beast that would endanger the people. swamp monster.
Beowulf was young and energetic, and believed in his unparalleled military power, so he volunteered to accept the reward, and took the fourteen warriors summoned by the king to the swamp deep in the forest, and found the terrifying monster that harmed the world—— Grendel!
Grendel was born in a swamp. It is said that he is a descendant of Cain, the son of Adam. Because he also has the curse of God, everything will wither and wither wherever he goes. He is jealous of all the beautiful things in the world, so he wreaks havoc on Denmark. The border lasted for twelve years, and every time it appeared, dozens of lives were lost.
King Hrothgar of Denmark was deeply hurt by it and sent troops to attack it several times.
However, Grendel is huge and invulnerable to all poisons, so the mortal army is no match for him.
Finally, with the assistance of fourteen warriors, Beowulf broke Grendel's arms with his bare hands and pierced a javelin deeply into the giant's chest with his bloody courage.
Grendel panicked and ran deeper into the forest. After reaching his mother's banshee lair, he ran out of energy and died. So in order to avenge his son, the forest banshee led countless poisonous sea snakes to invade the world.
Beowulf then went out to the depths of the forest again, found a silver sword in the banshee's lair, cut off the banshee's head and took it back with him. After completely dealing with the two evil monsters, he returned to his hometown of Kitland. Inherited the throne.
Fifty years after killing Grendel and the Banshee, a powerful fire dragon suddenly appeared on the border of Kitland, roaring and spewing out boundless flames, turning the world into a living purgatory. Countless people were affected by this. And died tragically.
The already old Beowulf resolutely embarked on the journey of hunting monsters again for the sake of the country and the people.
He followed the traces left by the flame dragon and returned to the forest where he killed giants and banshees when he was young. He found the flame dragon's lair and found that it was filled with broken silver armors and even numerous... It was similar in style to the divine sword in his hand, but its appearance was already damaged and incomplete.
And the giant flame dragon he was looking for was entrenched on the hill made of countless armors.
At the same time, among the broken armors, there was a remaining consciousness of the Valkyrie, which told Beowulf a shocking secret.
In fact, the dragon is the giant Grendel who was killed by him fifty years ago, but now it has been invaded by another evil force and forcibly transformed into what it is today.
If this evil guy cannot be defeated and sealed, then the entire world will be destroyed by that evil force!
After a painful battle, Beowulf finally pierced the dragon's abdomen with his sword, and he himself was pierced through the neck by the dragon's fangs, but unfortunately the dragon would not be destroyed. , it was just temporarily sealed.
So Beowulf and the Valkyrie made an oath. Before the next generation of Valkyrie comes to Midgard, they will guard it here for generations to ensure that the dragon will not break through the seal, come back and destroy the world!
Before his death, Beowulf gave his armor and sword to a young warrior who followed him.
At the suggestion of the Valkyrie, the young warrior drank the blood of the dragon and gained a life as long as the gods. He established a small town and village in the mountains near the sealed dragon and named it Beowulf's descendants. For the name, it has been guarded here for generations.
At the end of the story, everyone suddenly woke up.
The young warrior who inherited Beowulf's armor and sword was the slovenly Wiglaf in front of him!
