Valhalla Saga

Chapter 25 - Paul's Sword

He felt a heavy hug in Hildegarde.

She doesn't squirm, wearing a firm piece of armor on her chest and shoulders. He squeezes his arm tightly into Taeho and gives her strength once, then pulls away.

Valkyrie Hildegarde.

Taejo has brought himself to Valhalla.

It was a blue armor that would go well with dark blue hair. The cheerfulness that was somewhat different from that of Reggie's was felt in his expression and even in his small gesture.

Taeho took a deep breath. When I calmed my surprised heart, I was surprisingly calm.

When I first entered Valhalla, I really wanted to meet Valkyrie. Where you are, why you came to Valhalla, what the hell is going on. I didn't have one or two questions.

But now it's different.

I had almost all the answers I was already curious about.

This was Valhalla, gathering the souls of great warriors. The warriors of Valhalla were Gods warriors, defending Asgard and the Nine Realms from giants and evil gods.

It was a bit of a mystery that Taejo himself was drawn here, not from Midgard, but it was not unprecedented.

And in my experience, there's no chance that the Valkyrie will have a clear answer. She didn't intentionally pick up Tae Ho by herself.

However, Taeho asked once and also heard the answer he expected.

“I had never taken the soul of a great warrior from another world. ”

The way the Valkyries gather the souls of warriors is simple. I went to the battlefield commanded above and waited, and when the warrior came out, I decided if he was qualified, if he wanted the warrior's soul to enter Valhalla, or if he was just drinking.

“Deciding which battlefield to leave is the celestial physician Odin, king of the great gods, and Freya, goddess of magic. ”

In short, it was that someone's special will did not intervene as much as it was determined by the machine.

Of course, there was a possibility that someone had tampered with the machine, but it was very difficult and unnecessary. Taeho brought himself to Valhalla and there was no one who could profit.

"Well, if it is, how long has it been? ’

Kuulin proposed a conspiracy theory, and Taejo lightly ignored it.

Hildegarde continued:

“Anyway, it's really nice to meet you. I'm with the Freya Force. ”

“Freya Corps? ”

Freya, goddess of love and beauty.

I've seen all the warriors in the army so far, but I've never even seen a warrior in the Freya Force.

When Taeho looked surprised, Syria next to him said in a small way.

“Most Valkyries who gather souls of warriors are members of Odin's army or Freya's army. ”

The reason was simple: Odin and Freya built Valhalla.

“I thought you'd soon be in the position of a mid-level warrior. You were a man of your talents. I pride myself on being the first of my warrior spirits. ”

Hildegard smiles cheerfully as if he were very proud of you, then he tilts his head and asks.

“But are you part of Idun's army? ”

“Yes.”

“Wonderful. It's been a long, long time since a new warrior has joined Idun's army." Maybe it's the first time since the Great War in decades. I thought of course you would go to Odin's army or Freya's. ”

They were both stories that bothered me.

I knew there were few new warriors in Idun's army, but it was the first time since the Great War. It was possible that Hildegarde might have been mistaken, but it seemed clear that it was the first time in decades, after all.

“Even the soul of a man without a god, a promising soul usually goes to Odin's army or Freya's. I had no idea I was going to be in Idun's army. When I came to the Freya Corps, I wanted to show you the way of the warriors myself. ”

‘It was the plot of Idun as well. ’

Taejo, who once again ignored Kuulin's voice, points to an empty table.

“Do you want to sit down? ”

“That would be nice. ”

Hildegard moves forward with a smile, and Tahoe follows. Brackey and the warriors looked at Taejo, who had somehow succeeded in winning the drink with the Valkyrie, and they were all scattered. And Siri followed Taejo for some reason.

“Watch stations.”

I don't know who it is or what it's for, but Taejo didn't argue.

The drink with Hildegard was not as long as I thought. I wanted to hear more about Idun's troops or the story of the world that Tahoe himself lived in, but Hildegard didn't have time. She gets a sudden call from the Freya Force, clearing her glass and standing up.

“Valkyries are always busy running in the line of fire. One day I will look forward to standing on the same battlefield. ”

Hildegarde smiles and kisses Taejo's forehead.

“May Freya's blessings be with you. ”

‘Another Valkyrie blessing. A nasty smile spreads across the face of Valkyrie Collector Tahoe. ’

It was a bullshit Kuulin today. Taeho ignored it again and gave a double tap on Hildegard's chest.

It may be a coincidence that Hildegarde left and returned shortly after. The friendly Valhalla warriors were already scattered and drinking, and Tara Tahoe chose a quick return home.

“I'll be back in a little while. I'll see you later."

Sitting down, Shiri waving his hands and Taejo greet him and head to the docks with Heda. He glanced at Heda's back preparing the ferry as usual and said with a passing touro.

“There he is. ”

“Huh?"

“You said it was the first time a warrior has been in Idun's army in decades. ”

Heda flinches. Taeho smiles secretly and tells me about his encounter with Hildegard. Then Heda said, pouting.

“Just act casual, act casual. If you get too excited, you're embarrassed. ”

I took Taeho pretending to be nothing, but Heda was actually very excited that day. No, I was nervous. I suggested a non-smoking cigarette and pretended to be strong for no reason.

In fact, it was a good thing Taeho didn't smoke cigarettes, even though he was saying that now. I only had it for when the warrior came, because it was a cigarette I'd never actually used. It was probably too old to taste right.

Taeho glanced at the excuse of Heda, smiling gladly.

“I see. You've been patient. You've been pretending to be someone you're not. ”

Heda's face is red. She looks at Taejo with her grumpy eyes and then looks at her lips again.

“Huh, you could be bluffing. ”

Moreover, Taeho was very embarrassed that day. If Heda were embarrassed as well, Taeho's anxiety would be much greater.

Tae Ho knew the same thing. Instead of making fun of it more, I just laughed.

"Always the most important thing. ’

Time flies as Kuulin speaks, and the garrison suddenly appears in front of him. Adenmaha, who looks like a poet, welcomed Tahoe and Heda.

“Hey, yo? ”

The appearance of the poet's suspension, which only sticks its head out to the foggy lake, is quite frightening, but I didn't think of the opponent as Athenian.

Heda tightly tied up the ferry and said, looking fat.

“Say hello to Idun. ”

Once we got back to the garrison, the first thing we had to do was say hello to Idun.

"Pissed off, pissed off. I may not be blessed for a while, you. ’

Taeho takes Gaebug to Unnir and heads to the temple to block the clumsy Kuhoorin's voice. Soon after opening the temple door, the green meadow spread out in front of my eyes.

“My warrior Tahoe. ”

It was always the same. When Taeho expressed his example, Idun opened his mouth again.

“I'm glad you feel healthy. ”

“It's all thanks to Idun's blessing. ”

Yidu smiles widely in Taeho's answer, and reaches out to Taeho and raises his hand.

“My warrior Tahoe, there's so much I want to show you. Thanks to you, there are many more who believe in me in Midgard. Furthermore, the Temple was built. ”

As Idun waved his hand lightly, two circular images came to mind in the air.

“It's my temple. You can look at it like this. ”

In the first video, King Sven and his advisor Ubbe were seen. They built the temple of Idun all over the island country as promised with Taeho.

In the second video, I saw Helga praying. It was the Temple of Idun, built by King Ivar.

“There are more warriors in my mind. Would you like to hear their voice? ”

When Yi Dun was excited and said, Taeho was also excited. Eagerly nodding, Idun chuckles and waves his hands again. Beyond the altered video, you hear the voices of the warriors.

“Grant me strength and courage, brave and beautiful Ydun. ”

“I've heard the stories of Idun's legions, full of beautiful Valkyries. I really want to go. ”

“I saw a sailboat flying in the sky. That's the most treasured part of Idun's army. This is extraordinary. There must be a large force within Valhalla. ”

“Ragnar said you sold a lot of medicine. ”

The last one is Idun. As Taeho clears his throat, he hears his voice again. This time it was a woman's voice.

“I'd like to see Idun's warrior again in Valhalla. ”

Helga, Princess of Cataron. She was drawing in her head the image of Taeho saving herself and her brothers.

“Hmm. I see. ”

Idun's voice is strange. I couldn't see it because of the light, but my eyes seemed to be narrowing.

Taeho waved his hand while he was embarrassed for no reason, and erased all the videos.

“It's a great achievement. I have to think long enough about the rewards that match this achievement. So can you just wait a little bit longer? Sooner or later, we'll have a prize for the ball. ”

How can you say that here? Taeho replies, and Idun nods slowly.

“We have a lot to talk about. I haven't been able to talk to him since I've always been training. We have so much to talk about the changed warriors of Idun. But I think it's better to talk to Ragnar Skazaha than to him. ”

It was about Saga and Giath.

After saying one word, Ithun quietly grabs Taeho's hand. It was so soft and warm. It was the same feeling I felt when I used the warrior of Idun.

“But · · · My warrior taeho. ”

Idun suddenly blurred the end of his words. When he looks at Idun, wondering what happened to him, he narrows his distance to him.

“He called out Heda's name at the crucial moment again? ”

Just before wielding the sword of light, Taejo put it in his mouth, not Idun's name, but Heda's name.

Taejo flinches, leaving Taejo's hand and turning around.

“You said Heda's name, not mine, even at the moment you connected with me. So it was.”

I felt like I was standing up for some reason, imitating Heda's tone.

Taeho grunts, grunting and smiling as if it were a joke.

“As I said before, it is most important that you return safely. So don't worry too much. But · · But sometimes you also say my name. I'm disappointed, you know? ”

How can I not call her when the goddess says so? It was strange to say something like that, but Taeho answered and looked at it.

“I will also call on the name of Idun from now on. ”

“Well, somehow you sound like a cheater. ”

By this time, I was sure to make fun of him.

This time, Yidu smiled at Taeho, clearing his playfulness and looking at his breath and face.

“My warrior Tahoe, you've done well. I'm proud of you. ”

It was just a few words, not a material reward, but Taejo felt his heart filled with satisfaction.

The number of warriors in Idun's army has not yet increased, nor has there been any noticeable change, but I felt rewarded for my efforts.

“May my blessings be with you. ”

Idun kissed Taeho's forehead.

The next morning, Taeho was very satisfied after eating the food he had cooked for a long time. Heda also looked cool as usual, making sure that everything was resolved overnight.

Since Ragnar was away on business for a while, Taejo decided to talk to Skazaha first.

It's because I had Kuulin, but I had something to ask him, other than Giath.

Skazaha's body was still asleep, but his mind was still awake. Because of this, she was able to communicate with the people in the encampment by sending the ghost out of the body.

Unlike Rollo, who returned safely but didn't care much for his master, Athena also had a cute taste. When I heard that I was going to Skazaha, I reconciled myself as a goddess and followed Taeho.

Skazaha's residence was a stone building on one corner of Idun's Garrison. On the surface, Skazaha's sleeping body lies where it seems to be a temple.

“Ithun is strong, yo. ”

Adenmaha said as he passed through the entrance to the temple. It was thanks to Idun's repeated blessings to protect Skazaha. I didn't know there would be more of a blessing than the Temple of Idun.

Taeho, who grabbed his hand near his neck as if it were a bit stuffy, dominated the dragons and strengthened his dominance over him. Then Athelma nodded her head, saying that she was feeling better.

Even though the difference in personality was significant, once Aden Maha was a goddess, the power of Idun, another goddess of God, was somewhat uncomfortable in an oversized space, because Taeho had eliminated all of the awkwardness.

As Tahoe grabbed his hand and went deeper into the dwelling, he saw Skazaha lying on the same side of the altar and Skazaha's ghost standing translucently next to him.

“There you are, Taeho. I was worried about the progress of the class. ”

Taejo flinches reflexively, and Athenia bursts into a pudgy smile.

“Ongoing classes are important. Now that you have begun to learn the power of Tuaha de Danan, progress should be steady. ”

‘You're right. ’

I couldn't help but overhear Kurahulin, who was absolutely right.

Taeho breathed a few coughs and then told Skazaha.

“Teacher, I have something to ask you. ”

“Ithun was very worried about the power you used. But now that Kuulin is calm, it doesn't seem like much to worry about. ”

Giath's side effects and constraints were once gone. Kuulin suggested that when Ragnar returned, the legendary Saga was closer to Saga's realm than Giath's, where the warriors of Idun were strengthened and the constraints were gone.

Because of this, Taeho said something other than Idun's warrior.

“I found this in Midgard. ”

Riberatus pulled him out of Unnier.

The treasure of the Catalan kingdom that held the pieces of Gaebulg. Kuulin speculates that the creator of Riverratus may have harnessed Erin's power.

“Of course, it's no ordinary thing. This item was made with Erin's technology. Not only Tuaha de Danan, but also the skill of a skilled Millessian. No, that's not it. If you're just discussing the technology that made this object, it looks like it matches me. ”

There could not have been such a man born in Midgard. Erin's survivor is clear.

Are you saying you're comparable to a teacher? ’

Skazaha nods when Kuulin is startled.

“The only reason I was able to create Gaebulg was because I was Queen of the Shadow Country. Making things like this is not easy for me. ”

Skazar was one of the most famous witches in Erin. Although limited to her ability to craft weapons, there were not many who matched her.

“Regrettably, I'm not sure who it is. But fortunately, the person who made it left a clue. ”

“A clue?”

“Yes, there is a message on the handle that has nothing to do with the drive of the sword. ”

If it was anything other than message magic, it was probably a clue. in a way that tells you where you are.

Taejo looks back at Athenmaha.

“Why, yo? ”

“No, why didn't you know? ”

She must be the goddess of Tuaha de Danan.

“I didn't show you! Yo!"

“Oh, I see. ”

Reasonable Taejo looks back at Skazaha, and Skazar smiles joyfully as he sees Athenmaha puffing her cheeks, then reaches for Liberatus again.

“Then I'll give it a try. ”

The magic of Tuaha de Danan.

A beam of light from Riverratus conjures up the message.
