In the endless darkness, a majestic stone door slowly emerged, shining with silvery light like a morning star. Odin heard Maev's call and opened the door to Asgard.
The consciousness floated in the darkness, flying towards the ancient stone gate. Soon Ma Wei and the other two arrived in front of the stone gate. After getting closer, they realized how tall and wide the stone gate was, like a silver waterfall that plunged into the sky, and the silver starlight kept washing over it. With the door open, accompanied by a creaking sound, the stone door opened to both sides, and dazzling light hit instantly.
It was freezing cold, with the howling wind mixed with ice and debris, cutting his cheek like a sharp knife. Ma Wei opened his eyes and found that he was in a canyon covered with ice and snow, with ice walls and ice walls on both sides that had not melted for thousands of years. Inside, there were frozen giants with burly bodies. They held up weapons that shone with metallic luster and still maintained the posture when they launched an attack. The ice froze that moment and also froze time.
Although the surroundings were extremely cold, Mavi quickly adapted. They were consciousnesses who came to Asgard and would not collapse due to the cold.
"Brother..." Lai Wen looked at the towering ice walls around him and swallowed: "These giants..."
"They should be the frost giants in the myths and legends of the United Kingdom of Rivi." Ma Wei replied: "They were born from the ice and died in the ice. They invaded Asgard and were eventually sealed forever by the ice. "
The ice froze the road to Asgard, leaving only a canyon in front of it. Mawei didn't think much, picked up Yunia, and walked forward with the message.
The ice and snow roared in my ears, and my eyes were completely white. I could hardly see the road ahead. I didn’t know how long I had been walking, but suddenly a shadow that resembled a lake appeared in the raging ice and snow. The other person came walking in a cloak with a thick red beard. Look It looks like an ordinary hunter - if it doesn't carry a huge black ax on its back.
The other party walked out of the ice and snow, stopped in front of Ma Wei and the others, and said in ancient Germanic: "Welcome to Asgard, I will lead you to the Hall of Valor, and Odin will meet you there."
The reception... was quite grand... Lai Wen couldn't help but complain.
Although the ostentation is grand, Odin is the main god of the natural era after all, and it is normal to be arrogant.
Ancient Germanic is the language used by the Bard God Luca. When they last met, Mavey still needed Daniel to act as a translator. Now that they have learned the language of Frederick's Kingdom, they no longer worry about communication issues.
The ability to communicate normally is a necessary prerequisite for cooperation. If you can't even understand the words, wouldn't it be impossible to talk about cooperation?
Accompanying the red-bearded old man was a giant white wolf. They stood in the wind and snow, their hair flying, as tall as a house, which was terrifying.
But they actually crawled in front of Ma Wei and the other three. The red-bearded old man said: "Please ride on them. Only the most distinguished guests can ride on the giant silver frost wolves to Asgard."
Ma Wei was not polite. He hugged Yunia and activated his teleportation magic. He appeared on the back of the giant white wolf, and Lai Wen also followed. Unexpectedly, the old man with red beard did not ride on the giant wolf, but on Ma Wei's three The man climbed on the back of the wolf, turned around and led the way ahead, stepping step by step through the ice and snow...
The speed is very fast. It is obvious that the red-bearded old man is just taking his own steps, but the giant white wolf needs to run to catch up. The ice walls on both sides retreat quickly, and the soft hair helps Ma Wei and others resist the wind pressure that is coming. , after a long time, the ice and snow suddenly stopped, the warm sunshine fell, and the fragrance of green grass and gurgling water suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Behind him is the cold canyon of ice and snow, where the frost giants are frozen, but in front of him is the vast grassland in the warm spring, full of vitality.
Among the clouds and mist in the sky, the icebergs that freeze the Frost Giants are like a circle wrapping the green space in the middle. The distant green space is divided into several parts. On the east side is an iron-gray jungle, on the right side is shrouded in gray mist, and in the center, there is A large town, with strangely dressed humans coming and going. In the center of the town stood a withered towering tree with withered branches and leaves, exuding a black aura of death.
In the center of the big tree and on the outside of the trunk, there are various strange buildings built, including temples and towers. Even from a distance, you can still see the outline and texture of the buildings clearly. They are so ingenious that they look like miracles.
On the top of the withered tree, there was a red rooster perched, lying on its stomach with its eyes closed, as if it was resting.
"Yggdrasil, the World Tree...."
"It seems that you know something about our story." The old man with a red beard smiled: "This will make it much easier for me to introduce it to you. The town you see is the world of Asgard's Atrium. Before being exiled, We took away a large number of believers and allowed them to live in the atrium. Thousands of years have passed, and humankind has flourished."
As he spoke, the red-bearded old man wrote a strange symbol on the palm of his hand. The symbol lit up, and a rainbow bridge appeared in front of him, linking to the withered giant tree in the center of the town.
"This is rune writing, a writing invented by Odin. It has the same power as the magic circle."
Stepping onto the Rainbow Bridge, Ma Wei and the others gradually approached the atrium world. Looking down from the bridge, the residents living in the town were busy doing their own business. There were markets, residential areas, and even various There is a handicraft workshop, and under the withered giant tree, a clear spring is gurgling. The spring water flows out along the waterway, delineating eight waterways in the atrium, and the waterways turn into rivers in the town, with a continuous flow and endless life.
"The Spring of Wu'er De, the spring of life." The old man with a red beard said: "Those who drink the spring water will escape the judgment of the God of Death. They will have powerful power and heal all wounds. They will be the core of the atrium world.... If One day the spring dries up, which means the end of Asgard, but fortunately it shows no signs of drying up for the time being."
"Isn't Yectrasil the world tree of Asgard?" The source asked curiously: "Why is it withered?"
】
"Because Nereyinda cut off its rhizome and divided the roots and trunk into two parts. From that day on, we lost contact with the Kingdom of Death, and Asgard was no longer complete... ." The red-bearded old man's tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about another trivial matter: "Asgard has not died. Even if it loses its roots and the world tree Yggdrasil withers temporarily, the world in the atrium will not collapse. The gods living here have used their divine power to support the world. Runes with powerful power fill the world. Sooner or later, everything will be restored."
"The land of death?"
Lai Wen raised his eyebrows, remembering the method used by the sin goddess Tilde to open the Kingdom of Death, and wondered: "The Kingdom of Death was once part of Asgard?"
"Yes."
"Then why is the country of death..." The author hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.
The red-bearded old man said calmly: "The goddess of destiny was originally a god born from the spring of Wuerde. They are not orthodox believers in gods, but they have embarked on the path of belief in gods. Nelei Yinda bewitched them and killed them. On the day when the world tree Yggdrasil was cut off, the goddess of fate was divided into three parts, controlling the three powers of life, prosperity and death respectively. Asgard's lost kingdom of death was devoured by Tilde, who controlled death. From then on, she became the new master of the Kingdom of Death.”
Ma Wei said: "Since the Fountain of Ulder represents life, doesn't it mean that if the Fountain of Ulder is swallowed by the goddess of health, Wilder, she will become extremely powerful?"
"Yes." The red-bearded old man nodded: "If the Fountain of Uld is swallowed by Wilder, the World Tree Yectrasil is swallowed by Nand, and the three goddesses merge into one... they will She evolved into an existence comparable to the ancient gods and controlled destiny. From that moment on, even the three supreme gods could not defeat her."
"but...."
The red-bearded old man laughed: "They cannot complete the evolution. The gods personally guard the Ulder Spring. If you want to swallow the Ulder Spring, you must first defeat... or kill the gods Odin. "
While talking, Ma Wei and the others came to a majestic palace. On both sides of the palace door were densely carved rune characters, alternating between light and dark as if they could breathe. The red-bearded old man turned around and said to Ma Wei and the others: " This is the Hall of Valor, please come in, Odin is waiting for you."
The words just fell.
The huge palace door opened a gap, and the gap was full of darkness. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
"Let's go."
Ma Wei took a picture of the letter, which was still in a daze:
"Let's go meet Odin."
