One thousand two hundred years of waiting!
The once young warrior Wiglaf never gave up on his duties during this long period of time spanning several centuries. He was stationed alone in this desolate border, far away from his hometown and all relatives, just to obey Beowulf’s promise back then!
After hearing Wiglaf's description, Arvite and the other Valkyries were all deeply shocked by this persistence.
The lifespan of a mortal is only a few hundred years, but this group of people has been waiting here for a full twelve hundred years.
If according to the current standards of the United Nations, the life span of most people is generally only about eighty years. After a little conversion, you can know that they have been waiting here for fifteen generations!
Moreover, ancient times were limited by various conditions.
Vikings in particular had short lifespans, most likely less than forty years old, so this number is only going to get higher!
The youth and lives of dozens of generations are just to keep such a promise that spans thousands of years and centuries!
this moment.
Everyone's hearts were deeply touched, and they couldn't help but show a hint of respect in their eyes.
Arvette bit her lip lightly with her teeth, and her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, as if to indicate how unpeaceful her heart was at this moment.
There are thousands of words to say, but in the end, when the words come to my lips, they just turn into an apology.
Because apart from this apology, no words can appease the sacrifice and dedication of dozens of generations.
"No need to apologize to us."
Wiglaf's face was expressionless, but his eyes were faintly dancing with flames.
And this undoubtedly highlights that deep down in this man's heart at this moment, he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
To say that there is no resentment in my heart would be an empty statement.
But even so...
Wiglaf did not say a word of resentment. After taking a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "This is the story of me and King Beowulf, and it is also the Aurora truth that you are pursuing. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise. !”
However, Arvette remained silent.
From all angles, she shouldn't hesitate at this moment.
That is the beacon left by the Valkyries, and they should inherit it, fulfill this heavy promise that has lasted for centuries, ruined the youth and lives of dozens of generations, and slay the evil dragon that has brought harm to the world!
But time has passed, and now they are no longer Valkyries.
Since being rescued by Lord in Helheim, they have drawn a clear line with the past and decided to dedicate everything and even their lives to the Spirit King.
The decision whether to agree to Wiglaf's request and kill the evil dragon is not in their hands, but in the hands of the Spirit King.
Arvite turned her head slightly and looked at Lord, who was sitting behind her.
She was seeking the opinion of the Spiritual King, because this point was very important and related to a matter of stance and attitude, so she must not be careless.
"Okay, I agree."
Lord knew what Arvette meant, and thought to himself that he was really sensible. He nodded and said: "Besides, there is still an issue that we haven't figured out yet, so we have to go and meet this evil dragon that destroys the world no matter what. .”
Although he didn't finish his words, the others already understood what he meant.
In the legend of Beowulf described by Wiglaf, it is said that the giant Grendel was controlled by an evil force and was forcibly transformed into the appearance of the dragon.
Obviously, this evil force was the target of the first batch of Valkyries!
But later, due to some special reasons, the Valkyries died together with that evil force, leaving only a trace of consciousness lodged in the armor. Later, for some unknown reason, that force suddenly revived, occupying and transforming the dead Grendel. corpse.
So here comes the question...
Who is the evil force that invaded Grendel? It was so powerful that Odin, the king of the gods in Asgard, had to erase the records and existence of the original Valkyrie, and even continued to do so for thousands of years. Don't ask.
While Wiglaf was telling the story, Lord had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
It was as if he was faintly reminded that he had forgotten a crucial clue. But when he looked back and thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.
This matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
There should be a bigger secret hidden behind this legend, but due to the fact that too little is known so far, only Wiglaf has spoken, and he cannot connect these scattered clues together.
"When can we set off to the cave where the dragon is sealed?" Arvette's tone seemed a little urgent, not just for the sake of the Valkyries, but also to fulfill the promise she made as soon as possible, or both.
"It won't happen until two days later."
After finishing speaking, Wiglaf did not forget to explain: "Only on the fire festival day every ten years, the cave where the dragon is sealed will appear. Now we can't find it even if we go there."
Many Valkyries looked at each other with surprise and confusion.
Only Shikodi, the third goddess of destiny, whispered: "Someone should have used rune characters to set up shielding and hiding magic outside the cave, so it can't be found on weekdays."
"Rune writing?"
Arvette was startled again, stared at Shikodi, and said, "I remember that only Odin can use this kind of writing, right?"
"Yes."
Shikodi was a little shy when looked at by the sisters, nodded and whispered: "Rune is a gift from the World Tree. Only Odin can use it, so he can only be the one to set the seal."
"Haha~ It's getting more and more interesting." Lord couldn't help but laugh out loud. The old man's dark history was added to his list!
"Aren't you... Valkyrie?"
After hearing everyone's conversation, Wiglaf suddenly had a weird expression on his face: "Isn't it a bit disrespectful to call the King of Gods by his name like this?"
"Valkyrie, that happened in the past."
Arvette's face was calm, with a hint of coldness in her beautiful eyes, and she said: "After resurrecting from Helheim, we have abandoned our previous identities, so why not call him by his first name?"
Wiglaf looked confused and his expression was slightly complicated.
As an ancient Viking, I couldn't accept this fact. The Valkyrie who led the warriors to the Hall of Valor actually betrayed the great King of the Gods and even called him by his first name without any respect.
"You don't need to know the details, we will fulfill our promise."
Arvite was too lazy to explain to him. She waved her hands expressionlessly and said in a deep voice: "This is also our farewell to the past. From now on, there will be no Valkyrie in the world."
so......
This belongs to them, to the Valkyries, a farewell battle!
After completing this commitment that lasts for thousands of years, they will completely draw a clear line with the past!
