Valhalla Saga

&

“Why are you so excited? ”

“Oh, no. I'm not excited about any of this. I'm not even gonna pack a lunch. ”

Heda hurriedly examined it and said. Ragnar laughed as if it was absurd to think that a thief would shake his feet. Then he lowered his posture and looked up from below. Of course, the place I could see was the face of Heda pretending to be Tae-yeon while struggling to embarrass her.

“Heda.”

I eventually collapsed on a lofty call. Heda covers his face with both hands, and Ragnar waits with a chuckle.

“Hmph.”

How many minutes has it been? When the night air outside the hut was about to feel cold, Heda lowered his hand to cover his face. His ears were slightly red, but his face was similar to usual.

Ragnar, who was still looking up from below, lowered his head several times and touched Heda's arm with his elbow.

“Let's talk about something a little more serious when you calm down. ”

Although he did not mention it in front of Taeho and Siri, it was not just Gaebulg or Kuhoolin that mattered in this battle.

Heda was also aware of that fact. As soon as Ragnar took out the horse, the somewhat awkward nagging atmosphere surrounding Heda changed.

“I've already told you, Harald the Strength appears. ”

Just as Harald knew Ragnar, so did Ragnar.

Giant Harald of Power. One of the five fingers of the Magic King Urgard Loki.

The Giant King in Jotunheim was not the only Magic King. It was not Harald who represented Jotunheim as a warrior because he was the underling of the Magic King.

However, it was neither weak nor insignificant. I needed to be more than just an experienced and powerful superior warrior to deal with the mighty Giant Harad.

“I don't even know if it's a monologue or if I've been ordered to do it, but it's clear that Giants are considerably concerned about splinters of souls. ”

Last time, only Giants showed up barely reaching the junior or intermediate entrance. A Giant on a broad search was adequate.

But Harald, who belonged to the powerful axis, appeared among the great giants.

The importance of the Fallen Soul Fragment was reversed in one fell swoop.

“Moreover, Odin ordered immediate destruction. ”

If the enemy is gathering something, it is usually gathered here as well. But Odin ordered the destruction. It was likely that he was concerned that this side had been taken from him.

Heda sighs for a long time, then shrugs.

“This is what we talked about. I'm guessing that's one of the plans to wake Pendler up. ”

The Valhalla Warriors are trying to awaken the Divine Spirit Fragment, but the Valkyries have received more than stories.

“Searching won't be easy from now on. ”

There were no mid-level warriors among the Thor Force that were searching. Most of them were lesser warriors, and many were rookies, too.

But I can't do that anymore. Once Harald appeared, I didn't know when another Giant of my rank would appear. This side had no choice but to improve the quality of the search party.

It was difficult. The wire was fixed after the Great War, not because both sides withdrew from the line. It's because powerful forces are staring at each other on the front line, unable to move quickly on either side.

It is not easy to withdraw the frontline troops to search.

However, it is also difficult to maintain the current method of searching.

Heda forcefully said with a small smile.

“But Ragnar, you did the hard work, didn't you? ”

“Yeah, that's a good thing. You can't just whip up a bunch of Giants like Harald. ”

In a way, it was a fight. It also consumes quite a lot of energy.

Ragnar shrugs, as he did. He had a leaf cigarette in his mouth that he didn't know when it was taken.

Heda glances at Ragnar for a moment and brings up another story.

“What do you think of Kuulin? You've met him, right? ”

Erin's demise and the Great War were organically connected. Ragnar, who was a great warrior, has been on the battlefield with Kuulin many times.

“He was a great warrior. When I met him, he was quite poisonous because the situation was not bad. He had some arrogance, but he was Erin's best warrior. I think that's natural. ”

Lovers, family, friends, as well as men who lost the world itself.

Located in Ragnar's memory, Kuulin was a lonely predator filled with venom. But in the meantime, he had the relaxation to think about his comrades and the coldness to read the flow of the battlefield.

“Erin's successor · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Heda said Najjik. His voice was mixed with the unseen heat and excitement.

Ragnar places his hand on the back of Heda's hand.

“It's too early to get excited. Until we collect more pieces of Gaebulg and get more information. ”

The horse is calm. Heda glances at Ragnar's big hand, which rises over his hand for a moment and smiles small.

“That's all I'm saying. ”

There was an unseen heat in Ragnar's eyes that said, Ragnar drags a smile and fixes a leaf cigarette and asks.

“It's amazing. ”

It's really amazing.

I can only guess why Kuulin chose Taejo. Probably didn't have a choice.

Nevertheless, not everyone chose it. There are no coincidences in the warrior's story, so Gaebul and Taejo will lead each other.

Erin's power is not just Giath's. It was already destroyed, but not all of the legacy was lost.

Erin's armor, treasures, and the warriors of Erin who are still alive.

Ragnar closes his eyes. I pushed Erin out of my head for a moment and thought about Taeho.

A curious one.

He's talented, but mentally strong.

“Ragnar?”

He asked, wiggling his hand under the back of his hand. Ragnar opens his eyes, playfully holding Heda's hand once, and then stands up.

“Well, let's go back to sleep. We have to leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Ragnar wipes off his leaf cigarette, even though he has not sucked it a few times. While looking at him, Heda carefully asked.

“Ragnar, are you all right? ”

On the last day of the Great War, Ragnar's spirit was broken. He was no longer a great warrior.

Then he used mythical saga. I fought with all my might in a short time.

Ragnar smiles silently at Heda's question. I turned around and stroked Heda's head with a big hand.

“Zara.”

Ragnar, who left a father-like note rather than a friend, pressed down on Heda's head for the last time and went inside the hut.

&

The next morning, the group rushes out of the hut to Valhalla. Even two female griphons caught with Rollo increase the group, but the speed of movement itself is not much different. Rather, if Rollo hadn't been in a situation where injury had prevented him from flying, he would have arrived in Valhalla sooner.

It took me two days to get back, just like I did when I left. After separating from Siri at the Valhalla Hall and returning to Idun's garrison, it was late in the afternoon, and after a quick supper, the group set up a new nest for Rollo and the female Griphons and also had a quick nap.

And the morning after that.

“Heda, how did you sleep? ”

“Hmmm. What about you, Tae Ho? ”

“Good night to you, too. ”

Both of them opened their eyes and swept up the night. First of all, it was the same black crab underneath my eyes.

“What a fucking rich man, really. ”

Ragnar drags his tongue and kicks it. Then Taejo was surprised to see Ragnar.

“Ragnar's? ”

Are you trying to follow me?

Ragnar, who faced the fierce look of denial, said with an even more disapproving face.

“I'll go with you to the entrance. You have to be alone to enjoy the true Enaheim. ”

True enaheim.

However, Taeho did not have a grudge. He turned to Heda and said,

“Let's go, then. ”

To Enaheim.

Heda drove the ferry in a different direction than usual. It was because the Valhalla Hall and Enaheim, where the space doors were installed, were completely in the opposite direction.

Ragnar was as ticklish as the father who followed his daughter on a date, but fortunately, he disappeared as soon as he arrived in Enaheim. Thanks to you, Taeho is quite reserved to welcome his second party.

“Taeho.”

“Commander Siri! ”

Taeho found Siri standing in the corner of the entrance to Enaheim, smiling bitterly. It was because Siri was wearing a skirt and no one else would.

Of course, it wasn't dressed like a banquet hall valkyrie, but it was clear that the heavenly outings were clothes.

‘It's a pretty thing to decorate. ’

It's because it's not usually so fancy. It was basically a beautiful Siri.

Taeho looked at Siri with admirable eyes, and the person standing next to him shed a sad voice.

“Hey, I got one, too. ”

One night, a rolling face like that, which seemed to have been given a tremendous rush by those around him, made an argument.

“It's been a long time since I've seen anything like it. ”

“So am I. ”

I was supposed to meet him in a week or so.

“Heda.”

While watching the conversation between Rolf and Tahoe with a chuckle, Siri gave an example to Heda, who was somewhat embarrassed.

She was always wearing the iconic Valkyrie breastplate and headdress, but today was different. I didn't even feel like I was wearing clothes, but the atmosphere was completely different just without armor.

“Warriors coming to play with the Valkyrie · · · · · · ·! ”

You mutter in a low voice, "The rolls are surprised." Then you look at Taeho with respectful eyes.

“Anyway, let's go. You've been to Enahaim with Captain Syria, right? ”

“I came here once. ”

“I only know the mayor. ”

“No! You?! ”

I heard a crude shout that sounded like breaking a bowl behind the voices of Shiri and Heda mixed with shyness.

It was always nice to turn around quickly, but there was someone who wasn't happy today.

“Bjorn? ”

Moreover, I was not alone.

“The Valkyrie Visited Warrior! ”

“Valkyrie Warrior! ”

“Huh! A warrior who came to play with the Valkyrie?! ”

The Thor and Ulr warriors, who have seen your face many times before, are horrified to see this side.

Bjorn looks back and forth between Siri and Heda, then he sees the rolls and the taeho with his cold eyes.

“Somehow, last time I made an appointment with Fato, there was a reason. I wouldn't recommend it without knowing it from now on. Taejo, Rolf. ”

It was a cold voice that people would think was a declaration of separation when they heard it.

“Oh, no. I · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The roll mutters in a small voice. On an exciting night with Bjorn, I noticed a lot of foolishness.

Bjorn turns calmly and shouts alongside the warriors standing beside him.

“Come on, let's go! Enjoying the true Enaheim! ”

“Ow!”

Bjorn and his warriors rush towards the alley where it seems like the red light is shining. Taeho stared at him dazed.

“There's Braki, too. ”

You left as soon as you got back.

However, Siri became as hard as when she stood on the battlefield as if she didn't care, and grabbed Rolf's shoulder.

“Roll, go if you want to follow. ”

“No, I'm fine. This way is much better. ”

Siri smiled as soon as he smiled. Instead of teasing them, Taeho grabbed Heda's hand and said.

“Anyway, let's get going. ”

Half of Enaheim was a cheerleader, and the other half a arena. Because of this, only a quarter of the market is occupied by Taeho's group.

Ragnar sits in a wide, long chair and looks away. Wherever I could see, I was smiling at nothing.

It was a beautiful smile, not a smile that I had often built since that day.

“You guys are good. It looks good.”

I heard his voice right next to me. Ragnar stiffened himself without even knowing it. It was because he had never felt anyone approaching.

“Stay still. You don't have to be formal. ”

It was the voice of a relaxed old man. Ragnar takes a calm breath and looks back. An old man with one eye, with a big gray cloak, sat down.

“Ragnar Lothbrok meets Heavenly Father. ”

While seated, I patted my chest to pay my respects. Then the old man narrowed his eyes slightly to Odin, king of the gods.

“It's been a while.”

A crow moonin sits on Odin's shoulder. In addition, there were crows in the sky and on the earth. Dozens of them could have been enough, but none of them went down the street to feel the camouflage.

Like a man with a face of cloth, Odin now was a loving old man himself. His eyes and voice were both soft.

“Are you here to see Taiho · · · ·? ”

Ragnar cautiously asked. Odin smiles faintly, turning his gaze toward Ragnar towards Taejo and Heda.

“I heard it all. I wondered who he was. Sometimes I want to see the world with these old eyes. ”

How far does Odin know?

Ragnar kept silent instead of opening his mouth. Odin smiles again.

“Thor told me. I think you're a very dear warrior. ”

“I'm looking forward to it. ”

“If you say so. ”

Odin's gaze is no longer with Taejo. I was watching farther than the sky.

“Such a time is coming for good warriors. It's starting to smell like war. This might be one of the signs of the Giants' movement. ”

It's been a hundred years since the Great War. I could find out without asking for wisdom from the three yellow sisters or Mimir's head.

“But we shouldn't rush into it. There's an order to everything. ”

Odin, who told you so, suddenly took out the bread stuffed with meat and sliced it open. It was street food that was commonly sold in Enaheim.

“This is delicious. I'll have one the next time I get here. ”

Odin, who had eaten all the bread and meat, stood up. Ragnar stands up and asks.

“Are you leaving? ”

“I've seen it from afar. And I thought you said you were here. I have other business to attend to. ”

Odin knows what aggravated Ragnar. Probably what Heda asked me to do.

That's why Odin said he was retired, but he gave a few more words for his beloved warrior.

“There's one thing I learned from watching Zeus and his friends at Olympus. ”

Asgard and the gods of the neighboring world.

Odin smiles bitterly, remembering their faces for a moment.

“Things didn't work out so well when the gods got involved with the humans. I'd rather just leave it alone. ”

Whether the will of the gods was good or bad, associating with God in Olympus meant human destruction.

“I'll leave that to you for now. I'll see you next time. ”

Odin smiles joyfully, pulling out a plump hat from the air and pressing it down. Ragnar taps his chest first to pay his respects.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

Odin shakes his hand lightly, disappearing like he did when he appeared.

Ragnar looks around as if he's looking for a flock of lost crows. He looks back at Tahoe and Heda. Odin's appearance is still well played, in case you haven't noticed.

“Yes, you should enjoy it while you can. ”

Small talk, Ragnar asked the leaf cigarette. It was a little sorry for Taeho, but he seemed to need to increase the intensity of his training.

&

The sun is setting and the night is upon us.

Ragnar, who has been waiting since dusk, returned to Idun's garrison with Tahoe and Heda as soon as the sun set.

However, Heda was bright enough to play during the day, and Heda also had to smile.

Two days later, Taeho started training again. A week later, the mission begins.

That's three months.

A short and long time passed quickly.
