Valhalla Saga

Chapter 26 - Land of Battle

Camelot.

A legendary kingdom founded by King Arthur.

But in Erin, it was not a legend.

King Arthur, with the knights of the Round Table, existed as well as Camelot.

“My God, Merlin. ”

“Is he famous? ”

Adenmaha admires, and Brackey tilts his head and asks. It was the first name I had ever heard of him who was a Midgardian.

Athena opened her lips a few times, and soon she breathed and quickly replied.

“Of course. No, of course. It's Merlin. Even Witch Morgan Le Payna Vivian was a step below that. If you name him the greatest wizard in Erin, he will definitely be a candidate. ”

Braki was more concerned about the fact that Adenmaha only spoke against himself than the contents of the story, but for now he had moved on. It was because Adenmaha seemed very excited.

“You're alive. I thought Camelot was dead when she fell. ”

According to the speaking touro, Merlin and Camelot seemed quite interested.

“Kuulin, did King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table perish? ”

‘Perhaps. The red branch knights I had made in Asgard also belonged to some of the Round Table knights. One of them, Bedivere, said he witnessed the king's death. ’

In a bitter tone, Kuulin had a moment of silence. It reminded me of the death of Fergus Macroy, the original master of Kaladvolg as well as King Arthur.

On the day Erin was destroyed, Fergus Makroy fought fiercely without saving his life. It was all thanks to his sacrifice that the Red Branch Knights were able to leave survivors.

But the Red Branch Knights were wiped out in the Great War.

As for Kuulin, he had no choice but to speak.

‘Looks like your colleagues need some clarification. Give Gaebulg to Adenmaha and let him tell my story. ’

Ku Hulin, who spoke in a cheerful voice like a way that dispelled his depression, waited to be handed over to Athenmaha.

Unlike Siri, who already knew the existence of Kuulin, Brakina Gordon did not know about Kuulin and Gavulgar.

Since there is nothing good to increase the number of people who know the secret, it is better for you to be goddess of Tuaha de Danan through Athenmaha, which is already known.

"There are three Knights representing Erin. One is the Red Branch Knights that I belonged to, the other is the Piana Knights of Pin McCull, and the last one is the Knights of the Round Table led by King Arthur. ’

Adenmaha begins to tell the story of Kuulin. Taeho also listened to Adenmaha because he was the first to hear the story.

‘The Knights of the Round Table were those whose numbers were few, but they were fierce. In Valhalla's terms, the weakest of them all were the highest warrior ranks. King Arthur was a strong and wise king. The camelot he built was beautiful and rich, inspiring many, but none of them dared to defeat King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and conquer Camelot. ’

Technically, though they belonged to the same Erin, Kuulin and King Arthur had different areas of activity. Therefore, I was able to make an objective comment.

‘Merlin is Arthur's counselor and teacher. He's a powerful druid, a wizard and a wise man. He has a mysterious genealogy with Tuaha de Danan. ’

“Ah · · · You're a great guy in a word. ”

After the story of Kuulin, who borrowed Adenmaha's mouth, Brackey scratched his chin and flattened. Ku Hulin nods in gavulgar, returning to Taeho's hands.

‘Yes, I'm sure it will be a great strength if I become a colleague. ’

“Well, isn't that a little strange? You're such a great wizard. You just stopped sealing him up. ”

Brackey points to a rock suspension lying flat on the floor. Though it was definitely a strong horse, it was pale compared to what Merlin had just heard.

Adenmaha quickly translates for you, making sure you understand what Brackey is saying, as the rock suspension grows small.

“He says it's much stronger in nature, but it's weaker when he's asleep. I've been starving for decades. Poor thing.”

As Adenmaha strokes the nose lamp of the rock surgeon, the rock surgeon closes his eyes quietly. It was a rather pitiful face, perhaps because of the story.

Kuulin looks at the horse again.

‘Merlin may not be as normal as the teacher. Surviving Erin that day was never easy. ’

Kuulin himself was not able to escape without being completely healthy.

‘But Merlin's true value is not his strength as a wizard. The wealth of knowledge, mystery, and wisdom in his head is truly worth it. ’

Merlin looks for Erin's successor.

Although he did not specify what the final obligation was, Kuulin was able to make a strong guess about it. Perhaps it was King Arthur's order to help Erin's successor.

Merlin helps Taiho.

Become the Wizard of Taiho.

‘Are you the happiest you've ever been? ’

More than Kuulin himself or Skazaha ever joined.

But I had no choice. Unlike Kuulin or Skazaha, Merlin was a familiar figure to Taejo. My emotions were different.

Maybe we can handle Excalibur. ’

Merlin was King Arthur, Arthur was King Excalibur.

By the way, did Excalibur tell you that the knife shop is a real country? ’

I don't remember exactly, but I remember seeing that story in the game.

Excalibur and his knife. The heritage of many others that Merlin has collected.

When Taeho recalls the armor of the Knights of the Round Table, Kuulin suddenly smiles.

‘Like little Erin. ’

Erin is no more. Completely destroyed and gone. But the survivors are gathering in one place.

‘There is Adenmaha, goddess of Tuaha de Danan, the queen of the shadow kingdom, and I am the warrior of the Millessians. And you, Erin's successor. If you add Merlin, the great wizard of Camelot, to this · · it's really little Erin. ’

Kuulin once dreamed of rebuilding the Red Branch Knights. But what Kuulin really wanted was more than the reconstruction of the Knights. It was his dream to rebuild Erin.

I still had a long way to go, but I felt like that dream had come true.

Taeho looks at Kuulin, who is deeply moved, and decides what to do, but he speaks in a very small voice.

“Hey, it's Idun's camp. ”

It's not like little Erin candidates.

It was the sound of labor, but Kuulin smiled coolly and said vigorously.

‘Yes, so if you seduce Yidu, everything will be solved. Establish Erin in Asgard. Cheer up, Tae Ho. Erin's heir. Erin's fate rests on your shoulders. You're flirting with Idun. Oh, if I was alive, I'd be flirting with you. ’

I said something and it was bullshit.

Of course, he was joking in Kuhoorin's own way.

“I hope to see you soon, Merlin. ”

‘Yes.'

After that, the schedule was quite smooth. The group that went to Gordon's village to enjoy the feast explores a little more near La Bellir and then returns to Idun's garrison.

And then a few more days.

A new order was sent down to Taeho, who was training at the banquet under Ragnar Kuulin.

Orders were to prepare for the second Midgard expedition.

&

The second expedition was anticipated, as I had heard at the time of my first return and had also heard rumors of the expansion of the Midgard expedition.

Heda, standing in front of Taejo with all the preparations to leave, finally trimmed the chandelier and said in a small voice.

“Good to see you, Idun. When you're done, go back to the temple by yourself. Okay?"

“Yes, you should. ”

Taeho grins, and Heda grins slightly. After changing the location of blessing, Heda stopped blessing in front of others.

“Good times, good times. ”

Ragnar gave a warm look with his so-called father's smile, but not the other brothers and sisters. Taeho opened the temple door of Idun with a familiar hand as Adenmaha and Rollo shed their eyes.

“My warrior Tahoe. ”

After opening the door, we wait for a while, and the surrounding area turns to grassland, revealing Idun. She looks at Taejo, kneeling down and expressing her respect, and pulls out the prepared items one by one.

“These are my statues you asked for. I've put down a lot of blessings. ”

The statues of Idun by Ragnar. There were ten numbers, but I felt holy because I was blessed by Idun's words. Moreover, Ragnar's sculpture was not ordinary, so I felt like seeing a well-made picture of Idun.

“Thank you. I'll put it to good use. ”

It wasn't enough to just build a temple. Don't the faithful have to get together if they're tired of anything?

“Yes, cheer up. ”

Idun smiles as if Taejo was cute. Then he takes out the second item he prepared.

“Take this, it's prepared for you to go to Midgard. ”

Idun gave out a handkerchief that wrapped around pieces of a golden apple. I could feel the power contained in the dragon's eyes was not ordinary.

“Best apples I've ever had to harvest. The best of the best. It's between you and me. ”

As I finished speaking, Idun winked slightly. I couldn't see properly because of the light, but the feeling came clear.

Taeho politely accepts the golden apple pieces and asks with a slightly worried voice.

“By the way, can I have this? ”

There must be a reason to keep it a secret.

However, Idun widened his shoulders as if to say, "Don't worry."

“Who says I'll give my warrior an apple I raised?" Don't worry, just say you opened one less best apple than usual. And. ”

A little blurry, Icrun soon grabs Taejo's cheek and starts speaking.

“My warriors are the most precious to me. ”

It was a touch and voice filled with affection. Taeho, who was deeply moved, pledged to increase the temple of Idun this time.

But that's when it happened. Taeho suddenly remembered something and I didn't even know it.

“Ah · · · Senior Warriors · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Taeho himself was not the only warrior in Idun's army.

It was not just Taeho who was upset or upset that Idun cared about him. I just had an idea about the warriors I hadn't seen so far.

They all said they were more than just senior warriors, so they used to keep their garrisons separate. Isn't it about time we met?

“Well, I still have something to give you. ”

Idun takes his hand off Taeho's cheek and says. Taejo smiles and gives out a piece of paper, either not hearing his little voice or pretending not to hear it.

“Heda Summon Ticket? ”

“I see. You said Midgard is hard to visit, right? You can use it only once, but you can still visit. Think of it as the same principle as summoning Aden Maha with a Summoning Stone. although the process is much more difficult. ”

In summary, however, it was a species that could be visited by Heda.

It was quite a welcome item for Hedyne Terra Tahoe, who could not be found even during the occasional visit to Idun's dream.

“Now, I have one last gift. ”

“Again?"

Taeho nods his head without even knowing it.

“You didn't build that big a ball. This is the first time a temple for my own sake has been handed over. Whatever it is, I want to keep giving it to you if it makes you happy. ”

It was the net that Idun brought out this time.

The nets were already used by Midak, but the nets he pulled out were not blue. The golden text flashed.

[Nyord's Net]

It was the god of the sea, Nyord. The power I felt when I was blessed by Ingrid was full of nets.

“It's a net from Nyord. Taeho, you like to catch animals. This net will make capturing much easier. ”

When I threw it, it grew up to ten times and even had the power to overpower the nets.

It was a habit that matched Ithun's taste.

“Thank you. I'll use this to catch a lot of people." ”

“I wish I had a fishing rod. ”

Yidhun, who exchanged jokes with Taeho, soon stood up. Taeho, who understood what it meant by that alone, sat on his knees and waited for the blessing of Yinan.

“May my blessings be with you. ”

The same blessing as always ended, and Taeho moved behind the temple and met Heda. I received a second blessing.

&

The composition of the expedition to Midgard is somewhat different from last time.

It was the same for Tahoe, Braki, Siri and Haraval, but the rest of the warriors were different.

The corners were hard to get used to, and instead of the missing arms, Olmar was uncomfortable with his behavior because his injuries had not yet healed.

In fact, the Midgard expedition was something that any Valhalla warrior would want to participate in, so it was a special occasion for Taejo and his group to be selected as members. Usually, they would change members on every expedition.

In addition to Taeho's party, however, there were five new warriors. From different troops, everyone expected this expedition.

The leader was also Valkyrie Ingrid of the Nyord Corps.

But unlike before, one more Valkyrie was added.

“Caldea, Valkyrie of the Hermod Corps. Take good care of her."

A Valkyrie that is thinner than any other Valkyrie, but looks that agile. Armed with the eager nature of Hermod's troops, she had bright, long blonde hair that seemed to have melted gold.

Considering the number of warriors on the expedition, it was a little strange for the Valkyrie to be attached to another one besides Ingrid, but Valhalla would have a point.

Instead of raising questions, Taeho and the warriors gave Kaldea an example by beating his chest twice.

The highest point of the fortress, guarded by Heimdall, the end of Asgard.

A rainbow bridge to Midgard unfolds. Taejo and other warriors climbed the rainbow bridge along the way to Valkyrie England.

And above the heads of those warriors, Crow Moonin gave a calm glance.
