Valhalla Saga

Chapter 33 - The Sword of Idun

Valhalla, the sanctuary of warriors, was divided into various compartments.

A central hall with gates to many areas, including Midgard.

Anaheim, the entertainer responsible for the joys of warriors.

A workshop where Dwarf artisans gather to produce various armor for Valhalla Warriors.

A misty lake with island-like army encampments.

Valgrind, a sacred gate for warriors to enter.

The ballroom where all the warriors of Valhalla can gather for dinner.

The lowest warriors who had just entered Valhalla didn't have any questions, but experienced warriors had questions about the structure of Valhalla.

The reason was simple, because there were no houses of gods anywhere.

The gods responsible for each unit did not live in their military dwellings except for a few exceptions.

Because of this, the lowest warriors who thought the gods would settle somewhere in a vague encampment said, "There must be a palace of the gods somewhere in Valhalla. ’Again, I had a simple thought.

But there was no such thing as a colony of the gods in Valhalla.

The gods responsible for each legion were residents of Asgard before being Lord of Valhalla. Their home lies beyond Valhalla, across Asgard.

Not all gods, of course.

Officially known, only four gods, especially powerful among the gods, had their homes in Valhalla.

Odin king of the gods, Thor god of thunder, Heimdall god of protection, Freya goddess of beauty and magic.

Odin was king of the gods and master of Valhalla. The whole of Valhalla was his palace.

Bilskirnir, the strongest fighter in Asgard, is in the palace of Thor, the god of thunder, just east of Valhalla. His palace was the most magnificent and magnificent of all the buildings in Valhalla.

Thor's palace was located in a space separate from Thor's encampment, as Thor's palace also served as Valhalla's treasure and role.

Heimdall's fortress guarding Bifrost's entrance is a considerable distance from Lost Valhalla.

But his fortress was also part of Valhalla because it led to a long bridge where warriors could travel back and forth.

The Polk Room, Freya's residence, is located in the center of the fog lake.

Like the ‘Plain of Fighting’, Polk Room was much larger than any other garrison. Unlike Thor, Freya shared a garrison within her own quarters.

Freya's residence is at the center of the fog lake because her garrison plays a much more important role than Odin's garrison.

Odin, Lord of Valhalla, was in charge of Odin's army as well as all the warriors belonging to Valhalla.

It was Odin's sole authority to determine the time and place of the fight.

But Valhalla is where warriors live, not where they fight. Odin's natural power was much more to be exercised outside than inside Valhalla, which led Odin to the role of a decider in matters outside of Valhalla.

It was Freya and her Valkyries, not Odin, who were responsible for what was going on inside Valhalla - Valhalla's household.

It was so natural that her encampment was located in the middle of a misty lake that could evenly affect all troop encampments.

“The goddess awaits. Hurry up.”

Hildegarde urges Taejo. Knowing that Taejo had the wings of a falcon, she said to fly to Freya's stronghold without having to board the ship, but Heda refused.

“It's the captain's march. It's an ambitious time, so I think we need to keep the process going. ”

I opened my eyes with vigilant eyes, and there was nothing to argue against Hildegard.

She was forced to board the ferry as Heda suggested.

It was Tahoe, Hildegard, and Athens who boarded the ferry that Hedha rode on.

In the case of Athenmaha, I wanted to follow, but I had no reason to follow, so I was blinded, but surprisingly, I ordered Athenmaha to be with me first.

In Heda's case, he was the Valkyrie of the Legion, but he never gave orders to the Legion Valkyries. Even Aden Maha was always asked to do something, but he was somewhat confused because he had never been asked to do anything like this before.

‘You're being cautious. Are you more wary of Freya than you are of Hildegard? ’

Kuulin said Nazik. Taeho sits next to Heda and grabs him, answering in a very small reply.

‘Well, I feel good about it. ’

I feel a little jealous.

‘Extraordinary or simple. ’

Kuulin tugged his tongue, but he also didn't take the situation so seriously in his heart.

Freya called me because she had something going on, and she was extremely unlikely to do harm to Tahoena Heda.

Freya was more than just a beautiful woman. She was a true mistress of Valhalla, or Asgard, who oversees all of Valhalla's ambassadors on behalf of Odin.

Although she sometimes appeared like a child, she basically acted as a thoughtful and wise goddess of magic.

Until now, when I encountered Taeho, there was always a good reason, so it would have been the same again.

Heda rode the ferry standing up, and Taejo and Athena sat still. Hildegarde looks slightly frowned and shifts between Heda and the boat.

And how much time has passed.

You begin to see an enormous island beyond the mist.

“Polk's room. It's home to Freya's garrison and the Valkyrie Sanitarium. ”

In Hildegarde's explanation, Adenmaha reacts with more sparkle than Taejo. I was quite interested in the Valkyrie Sanctuary, where I had only heard stories from Sigrun and Gudrun.

He said, "I'll send you your training when you get some rest. ”

Adenmaha tugs at Taeho's collar and says small.

It was enough to learn from Heda, but it was good to experience the Valkyrie Sanctuary for a short time.

Of course, as Adenmacha said to herself, it was too soon. I don't know when Taeho will summon Athenmaha.

After stopping the ferry at the wharf, Freya's army of Valkyries approaches.

“I'm here to see the captain of Idun. ”

With a double tap on their chest, they encourage Taeho's group to ride on the feline wagon.

‘I feel like I'm abusing an animal. ’

The Cat Wagon was a cat-driven wagon, just like its name suggests.

In front of the sledge-looking wagon, there were about ten cats stretching out instead of horses.

Taeho is on the wagon, agreeing with Kuulin. After boarding the wagon to Heda and Adenmaha, Hildegard finally boarded the wagon, wielding his hand twigs to start the cats.

It was doubtful that cats would be able to drag the wagon properly, but they were not ordinary cats. The wagon, which began to run much faster than a normal wagon, soon came to the sky and started running straight up into the sky.

“The White Palace you see there is Seslumnier. ”

It was a palace with quite a difficult pronunciation.

This is Freya's residence. She is well away from the Valkyrie Sanctuary, as well as from where the warriors live.

Freya's palace was more spacious than its height, but it had a corner that resembled the Palace of Versailles in France.

Hildegarde, who stationed the cat wagon at the front gate, looked at Tahoe and Heda at the same time.

“Only Captain Idun can enter. ”

“I know. Be careful.”

Talking to Hildegarde in the front and Taiho in the back.

Heda frowned slightly and did not say anything else, whether it was like a set rule rather than Freya's whimsy. Athelma looked at Heda like that and said to Taeho, "Goodbye."

“I'll be back then. ”

“Bye, yo. ”

Taejo, who once again greeted Heda with a waving gaze, followed Hildegard into Freya's palace.

‘It's warm and fluffy. ’

Kuulin, who looked inside the palace, said Nazik. Everywhere was white but warm white, not cold white. Taeho also remembered the bed sheets and pillows that were better dried by sunlight than snow or ice.

Moreover, there were white and long cats all over the palace, so the atmosphere had to be softened.

Walking along the red and fluffy carpet, you see a long staircase heading to the second floor. Once you're all aboard, you get a big visit from the Valkyries.

“Captain Idun has arrived. ”

“Listen.”

Freya's answer returns as the Valkyrie announces inside the door. It was a scene I had seen in the play, and Tae Ho smiled without me knowing it.

“Come in.”

Hildegarde stops in front of the open call as if he had come this far. Taeho greets her and enters the room.

“Captain Idun greets the goddess of beauty and magic. ”

At the end of the large, round room was Freya, half-lying on a large throne that looked more like a bed than a chair.

Taeho lowers his posture as he salutes Idun and taps his chest. Freya smiles and greets him.

“Well, that makes sense. Familiar shape · · · · · izzie? ”

Freya, who praises Taejo warmly, suddenly narrows her eyes as she spills the tip. She straightens her torso and watches Taeho with narrow eyes.

“It's changed quite a bit in the last 20 days. Did Ragnar do any magic tricks? ”

It was as sharp as a Valkyrie leader. Taeho admired and responded briefly.

“I was just trying to do it. ”

“Hmm. Really? Just like Ragnar. Amazing. ”

‘Hey, tell me you're the great teacher. Huh? "

The last thing I urged was the coup d 'ulin. Tara Tahoe, who was in front of Freya, tried to pretend she didn't hear it, but she couldn't. Freya was more of a problem than Kuulin.

“A gaybull in Kuulin's spear. He has a little bit of his soul left. ”

She was a magical goddess, and this place was her magical land. It would be even weirder not to notice the existence of Kuulin.

“Beautiful Prince of Light, it's good to see you again. ”

Freya teases her hand, and Kuulin is realized next to Tahoe, just like he was at Skazaha's residence.

Kuulin smiles bitterly and gives a pat on the chest.

“Greetings. You're still beautiful. After you.”

“You're both blind as a papilloma. ”

Freya responds with a ballmen to Kuulin's playful greeting, but her eyes are smiling. I was delighted to meet Kuulin.

“Now I understand. Ragnar Kuulin. I heard Skazaha is also staying at Idun's Garrison · · · Has Merlin been added? What a splendid configuration. ”

The number of troops was low, so it was a lineup that wouldn't be beaten by any troops.

Freya opens her mouth, fixing her seating position, looking at Kuulin for a moment.

“I have summoned you, and now I need to explain why. I called you because I have something I want to leave with you. ”

The distance between Freya and Tahoe is narrowed. Taejo did not approach Freya, but literally narrowed the distance between the two of them.

The phenomenon of omitting the approaching process and getting closer was very curious, but Taejo simply decided to think of it as standing on a moving floor.

Freya seemed disappointed for a moment because she wasn't surprised, but soon she spoke again.

“If you've been to Midgard many times, you're already aware of the conditions and effectiveness of the fighting pits. There was talk of it at the general's meeting. ”

Do we have to trust the opposition system? The defect is getting bigger and bigger.

“We haven't made it public yet, but we plan to reinstall the battlefield completely soon. ”

Freya lowers her voice and orders Taeho to come closer. After three steps between Freya and Taejo, Freya blushes her face slightly.

“Re-installing the Matchmaking System is not uncommon. Moreover, this installation is an unexpected installation. It's a · · · somewhat embarrassing story but lacks strength. ”

It was only fitting that we would create a barrier to protect the entire Midgard. Freya's words were suddenly decided.

Taeho narrowed his eyebrows without even knowing it. I understood all of Freya's words, but it was because I wondered where Taeho himself might be.

Freya, who read Taeho's expression, chuckles and kicks her tongue.

“Don't worry. I'm not telling you to do magic. ”

If I really wanted to help magic, I would have called Skazaha instead of Taejo.

“What I want you to do is bring me what I need from Banahim to set up the Great Barrier. ”

“Are you referring to the Banana Shrine's residence? ”

“Yes, it's the homeland of me, my father, and my brother. I don't know if you know this, but most of Asgardian magic originates in Banahaim. I was also sent as a teacher to teach the new Ashir tribe magic. ”

If we dig a little deeper, the banana deities who had been defeated in the war between the Bananas and the Ashir deities had sent Balmoro Freya, but there was no need to tell such a story.

Freya nods as Taeho shuts his head.

“The reason I let you go without sending the Valkyries is because this job is so important. What you'll be transporting from Banahaim is not just a little grimoire or a tool. It's very valuable even in Barnheim. That's why I have to send someone with the minimum command rank.You 're the most empty-handed commander I know. ”

It wasn't that Taeho was free.

Generally, the commanders were expected to act with their troops. However, Idun's troops, which belonged to Taejo, were in different circumstances. After Taeho, they were all the lowest warriors, and that number was only twelve.

Taeho was forced to act alone, and he was more free of fate than any other commander in nature.

“Furthermore, as you may know, Barnheim is not an easy place to reach through the door to space, unlike in places like Svard Alphaheim and De Bellir. The existence of escort is imperative · · · What about its eyes? Don't you know that? ”

Taeho nods, frankly. There's no way to know about Barnheim you've never been to.

But Freya frowns as if it were possible.

“Honestly, Idun and Heda have never taught us anything like this before. ”

She sighs for a long time, as if to ask.

“It's too long for me to explain myself to Hildegard. As commander, you need to know the structure of the world, including Asgard. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“Yes, thank you for the refreshing answer. And · · · I'm sorry to call you this in the middle of the night, but I want you to leave right away. It's important you understand. ”

“I'm fine.”

“Thank you again. Tell me if there's anything else you want besides a fixed reward. I'll listen to you when I can. ”

Everything had to come at a price.

Taeho notices that Freya is serious for a moment and says.

“I want Freya's blessing when I start and finish work. ”

“My blessing? ”

“Yes. I want Freya's blessing. ”

Taeho spoke with eager eyes, and Freya tilted her head as if wondering for a moment, but smiled as she applied.

“Hmm, yes. Really? Well, that's just the way it is. ”

Freya continued to touch her radiant beauty, so it was time for the clicks to peel off.

Freya smiles happily and gestures to approach Taeho. It was really just to give blessings.

However, it was when Taejo lowered his position right in front of Freya. Freya suddenly narrows her eyes.

“What is it? I feel like I'm up to something. ”

Taeho said with an eager eye, even though it was hot for a moment.

“No. I just want Freya's blessing. ”

“That's suspicious.”

Freya's eyes narrow.

But it was only for a moment. Freya shly shrugs and stands on the throne.

“Well, there's no need for that. ”

In short, she raises Taejo's head and kisses her lips. It was a blessing on lips that had the greatest effect on the blessings of the Valkyries.

Kuulin whistles, and Taeho tries to act casual. Freya grins and touches Taejo's cheek.

“Farewell, Commander Idun. Hildegarde will tell you more. ”

Freya, who spoke very cheerfully, sat on the throne and laughed again. And Taeho left the room not long ago to find out why Freya was so happy.

&

“I see. I just wanted to strengthen Saga. That silly smile was enhanced by Saga, and it shouldn't have been any other way. ”

“I see, yeah. ”

Heda and Adenmaha look at Taejo with the same aesthetic eyes. It was because Freya was broadcasting the blessing live on video.

‘Hey, you've got to be bold when it comes to this. Huh? "

Hildegard looks joyful as he vomits his empty cough listening to Kuulin's unnutritious advice.

“I will have the squadron commander of Idun escort you to Banahaim. ”

Behind Hildegarde are two Valkyries and twenty shield-maidens from the Freya Force.

Perhaps because there are more Valkyries, Freya's army has a higher proportion of female warriors than the others.

Heda struck a second time, and Taejo was thinking about something different once it got cooler from Athenmaha's gaze.

"Did you erase Hildegarde for nothing? ’

As soon as you erase your name, you get a chance to be blessed, and you get multiple chances to be blessed.

Hildegarde was quite a valkyrie. If you only discuss your skills as a Valkyrie purely, they are almost comparable to Leginlaive.

However, Taeho soon shook his head.

Once you set a path, you'll have to keep going. You'll only lose more if you keep going back and forth for no reason.

Unlike Adenmaha, Heda, who knows what Taejo is thinking, sighed once and said, pulling on his arm.

"I'll take good care of Taejo, Adenmaha."

“Leave it to me. I'll keep an eye on it. ”

The army leader Valkyrie couldn't keep up with Taejo. In the beginning, he brought Adenmaha because he had foreseen the same thing.

‘But reinstalling the opposition system at this point · · · Is the situation more serious than you think · · · · · · ·. ’

In order to reinstall the Matchlock, the old Matchlock had to be dismantled once. That is, there must be moments when Midgard is exposed to giants.

Of course Odin and Freya won't win the tournament openly. It was clear that they also had their own defense.

But I couldn't help but worry.

It's been 100 years since the Great War.

Recently, there have been a series of bold incidents. Maybe it was time for a change.

“Heda.”

Heda straightens his face as soon as he hears the call. I shook my head for Taeho, who began to give me worried glances as if something was wrong.

Hildegarde leads the warriors aboard Freya's fleet. Heda, who sent Athenmaha up first, gave Taeho the highest blessing.

“May Idun's blessings be with you. ”

Freya's fleet leaves Heda behind.

You made your way to Banahaim, the land of the Bananas.
