Valhalla Saga

&

“There you are.”

How long has it been since I've walked through the fog with a shining butterfly?

Suddenly, you hear Odin's voice, but the fog that was filling your eyes suddenly dissipates. There was no fog in front of me as if I had drawn a line.

Odin's voice comes from the front.

There was a large fountain of water for the lake, and there was a wide rock on one side. Odin sits crouched in front of the rock.

Taejo walks along the lake to Odin's front. I was so nervous about the big head on a wide rock that I activated the dragon's eyes without even knowing it.

[Mimir's Head]

It was giant's head, but it was green for now. Taeho, who opened the dragon's eyes, gestures in front of Odin. Odin leans back against the roots of the tree rising above the ground and asks.

“Did Needhog leave you alone? ”

“Kuulin is with us. ”

It was impossible to leave Needhod and Latatosk alone. I have no idea what the evil Latatosc is up to.

‘We can't leave fish to cats. ’

Taeho also agreed to what Kuulin said. Instead of being a foolish shepherd with sheep and wolves in one place, you chose to hold Gaebug in Needhog's hands.

“Clever judgment. Well done.”

Odin smirks and praises Taeho. I thought it was some kind of test to say come alone.

“Odin, I have one question for you. ”

“Tell me.”

“About Needhog, Latatosk and Hresbelg - I want to know more about Latatosk. ”

“Yes, I haven't had time to talk properly in a while. I also had a deep misunderstanding. ”

After escaping the roots, I had no time to talk about the situation.

Odin looks away and opens his mouth slowly.

“There are many mysteries and wonders in the world. I may have slain the giant Imir and wiped the frame of Midgard with my brothers, but I did not completely create Yu from nothing. Because I don't know everything in the world. There are parts of it that are ignorant. ”

I devoted one eye to Mimir's fountain to fill the void of wisdom and hung on to the world's numbers for awhile.

But there was still a realm of ignorance. Understanding the world completely was hard for Odin, the king of the gods.

“Needhog is an ancient dragon, as you know, beginning with the number of worlds. He had the power to cause the destruction of the world, but the threat was subtle because he was confined to the roots only. I mistook him for wanting to destroy her, but the truth was different. I'm beginning to realize my ignorance. ”

She had long been blaming herself for being harassed by Latatosk, but she still remained white. She was as pure as white paper.

“Hresbelg is the king of the birds that live on the highest branch. Unlike Needhod, he has not existed since ancient times. He belongs to those who want to keep him, but he has no interest in the world. I'm only interested in the highest branch of my realm. ”

Living on the highest branch was only all the magic with the attributes of birds. Odin, therefore, did not pay much attention to the highest branch, his realm.

“Latatosk is the only one who can freely travel to and from all parts of the world's water. I don't know why he had such power - no, I don't know why he had such permission, but he was the only one who could get between Hresbel and Nidhog after all. ”

The highest branches, Hresbelg's territory, were not exactly rooted in. So Odin was able to reach the highest branch as long as he wanted.

But the roots were different. It was free to enter the root beyond the line, but it was different to come out of the root. It was impossible for Odin, king of the gods.

“I know you've been fighting, but Latatosk itself isn't that strong. What's more, I've been neglecting it so far because it's between the roots and the branches. I was going to catch it and use it when I needed it. ”

Of course, even with a gigantic size of tens of meters, the Giants and Valhalla Warriors were able to subdue Latatosk, but they were not so strong in the eyes of Odin, the king of the gods. Even a mid-level warrior couldn't handle the sum of them.

“He who wishes to preserve it is not one who wishes to perish. precisely in the middle. It seems that harassing Needhog was more of a hobby, not with a sense of mission. ”

Taejo opens his eyes to Odin. It felt like blood was spilling upside down because I thought someone had ordered me to bully Needhog for years just for my own amusement.

Odin's voice subsides a little as if he were calming down such a tremor.

“But I intend to keep an eye on him a little longer. I felt frustrated that I had to review what I thought I already knew. ”

Odin cares about the hindsight. Though it reminds me of the existence of an organization that might be behind Latatosk, it is still uncertain. It was not something to put in my mouth.

“Have your questions been resolved? ”

“Thank you for your response. ”

When Taeho shows you an example, Odin nods with a satisfied face and raises his hand to a wide rock.

“Yes, now I would like to introduce you to my friend and adviser, Mimir. ”

“The warrior of Idun. ”

The giant's head - Mir's head - rests on the rock and speaks in a bold voice. It was a voice that felt mechanical because there was no heightened accent to do this.

“He was born a giant, but he was never too close to those who tried to keep him. Furthermore, he was very wise, so I kept him close and asked for advice. Unfortunately, I lost my life in a peace negotiation after the battle with the Bananas. ”

“Peace negotiations? ”

Odin smiles bitterly when Taeho is startled.

“There was a bit of a problem with the prisoners exchanged. But don't worry, it's far in the past. If you've ever been to Barnheim in person, you should know better. That they're our best friends. ”

Taeho nods, thinking of Heimstream, the leader of the Banana Brotherhood.

But there was also a trivial corner. As it is well known that the prisoners handed over from the Bananas to the Assyrians were Freya, Freyr and Nyord. As Freya can tell, they were all gods of gifted and powerful power.

The Bananas have taken captive some of their finest. In other words, he did everything in his heart.

Nevertheless, if anyone has a life-threatening problem, it is more likely that there is a cause for the Ashir cult than the Bananas.

In fact, according to Taeho's guess, the cause lies with the Ashir Brotherhood.

Unlike the Bananas, the Asir Brothers, who didn't want to send excellent people captive, sent Junir, a fool who was so handsome that his head was empty.

I sent a short advisor to deceive him because he was stupid enough to send him alone, and that was Mimir, the giant.

However, no matter how wise Mimir was, he could not hide Junir's folly everywhere.

Unlike themselves, the Bananas realized that they had sent their prisoners astray, killing furious Junir and Mimir, and as a result, the Ashir tribe and the Banana tribes had to wage a short war again.

Whatever Odin said, it was far in the past.

Odin looks at Mimir's head and says,

“Mimir is dead, but there is still excellence and wisdom in his head. I retrieved Mir's head and put it here. It's because of the power of Rune Magic and Sam that we can speak and think like Mir used to. ”

Mir, who lost his life and became a machine, became a better advisor than ever before.

Some doubted that Odin had orchestrated all this to free Mir, but it was only a question. There was no clear evidence anywhere in the world.

“I looked at the situation outside through Mimir's head. ”

Odin makes fun of his fingers, and there are holographic images in the air.

The world was layered around the water of the world, from below they were Nibbleheim, Midgard and Asgard.

“The magic king destroyed the center of the world's waters and caused a massive tectonic shift in Asgard. In the aftermath, the main force of Valhalla, led by Thor, was isolated among the giants, and many of Valhalla's fortresses were destroyed. ”

Just as Kuulin predicted.

The center of the world's water was not a weakness enough to destroy Asgard at once, as the magic king had thought, but a weakness enough to strike a massive blow.

“As Valhalla sealed herself, the Giant Kings, who had been crouching in Jotunheim so far, began to make their move. They were just cowards who watched from afar because they were afraid their power would be weak, but so far they have remained strong. ”

The power of the Giant King was strong, even though it was rotten. Some are stronger than the five fingers closest to the magic king, Urgard Loki.

“I'm afraid that's all Mimir's head knows. As Freya sealed Valhalla, she was disconnected from the three yellow sisters who were connected to Mir's Spring, and Fugin and Moonin, who had replaced my eyes and ears, were also called to Valhalla by Freya. ”

It was completely blindfolded. I was glad to know what I just told you.

“As you can see, the situation is very difficult. But in the meantime, we have to find a way. ”

Odin's gaze returns to Taeho.

“Our objective is to retake or defend Nibbleheim. Greece, Queen of the Dead, has long been loyal to Asgard and will gladly lend you an army of the dead. ”

Loki, the god of fire and falsehood, was Odin's true loyalty, unlike what was known in time.

He did not abandon his heart for Asgard, despite all the contempt and insults that had lasted more than a hundred years.

And so was Greece.

She defended her allegiance to Asgard, even though she was always suspicious of her father.

“Once you have Nibbleheim's power, then Midgard. Unlike the previous one, there are several doors to the new one. Through that gate you will enter Midgard, subdue the remnants of the giants and gather the scattered Valhalla warriors to reinforce their strength. ”

Taejo recalls Braki and Siri, who first left for Midgard. Perhaps the two of them were still fighting the witches in Midgard at this very moment.

“The last one is Asgard. Depending on the situation, I will focus on joining Thor or taking back Valhalla. ”

Gather forces from Nibbleheim and Midgard to retake Asgard.

It sounded like a dream. There were so many mountains to cross.

But Odin does not lose his smile.

“I wouldn't have imagined it if I was alone. It's a miracle I'm still alive in the first place. I'm going to thank you again, though I appreciate it. All thanks to you, warrior of Idun. ”

“I'm sorry.”

Taeho bows his head and shows an example. Even though it was all true, I was embarrassed because I expressed my gratitude openly.

Odin laughs again at Taeho's humility.

“I called you here because I have something to give you besides a story. Take this. ”

Odin pops it out of the air in a sealed barrel. Taejo reactively triggered the eyes of the dragon.

[Scaldscar Miedar]

[Sealing Wine]

I couldn't imagine the effects, but the sparkling, platinum writing didn't seem like an ordinary item.

“Let me tell you an old story. ”

Odin begins the story with his back buried at the root.

“After the battle with the Bananas, at the end of the peace treaty, we had one ritual. The Ashir Brotherhood and the Banana Brotherhood spit in a big bucket. ”

Taeho tried his best to keep his face clean. The gods gathered together and spit out what the peace treaty had to do with it, but it must have been because it meant something.

And it was meaningful.

“With the spit of the gods gathered like that, we created a man named Kvasir. He was born with the spit of wisdom and wisdom of the gods, so he was very wise and beautiful. We have instructed Kvasir to go around Midgard. in order to convey the knowledge that is beneficial to humans. ”

Midgard was truly a wild land around the end of the war between the Ashir gods and the Bananas. Because the gods were distracted by their fight and did not care for Midgard.

“Unfortunately, Kvasir lost his life in the trap of the evil dwarves, Lar and Galar." Those evildoers dipped in honey liquor mixed with Kvasir's blood and honey, and that is the Sealing Wine of Zeal. ”

Odin smiles and looks back at the seals.

“For the gods, the Sealing Wine is just sweet and tasty - of course it's special, but it's just a very tasty drink. However, if humans drink this liquor, they will inherit some of Kvasir's wisdom and become a great poet. ”

It was effective depending on who was drinking.

And what Odin mentioned was only God and man. Haven't mentioned anything in between.

“What happens when the warrior of Valhalla drinks this drink?" I think you, with Bragi's runes, know the answer. ”

Odin tilts his head. Taeho was able to think of an answer, no matter what he said.

“The Strengthening · · · · · · · · of Saga. ”

“I got it right. A Sealed Wine that strengthens a Valhalla Warrior's Saga. ”

The rune of Bragi, the god of poetry and song, was the same principle that strengthened Saga's power.

“You can strengthen a large saga with multiple stories to make multiple sagas smaller, or you can focus your strength on one saga to make it stronger. I'll leave you with no choice but to enhance the price. ”

Taeho's saga is the story of Taeho, so it was also Taeho who was able to make the right choice.

“Thank you. I'll think about it and make my choice. ”

“Yes, you will be able to find the best choice. ”

The Sealing Master was not the number of spleens Odin had in mind. However, it was clear that it would bring Taeho's power to a higher level than it is now.

Odin shrugs, stretching his shoulders as if he was feeling fatigued.

“Time is of the essence, but we also need rest. We leave in the morning, so until then, rest easy with Needhog. ”

“Very well. I'll see you tomorrow. ”

Mir's well is wide, but it's not enough for Nidhog to lie down. Moreover, Mir's location was a secret among Odin's nearest gods. It was an unusual situation to come into the hands of a superior warrior.

After everything, Odin raises his hand and taps his chest. Taeho also expressed the same example.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

Taeho turns away. The night is deep.

As we hurried back, Nidhog greeted us with a pretty smile.

But there was one strange part.

“Master Taeho, welcome. I've been well with Kuulin. ”

“Kuulin? ”

Reflexively, Taejo narrowed his eyes and turned his gawk towards Needhog.

Kuulin said in a satisfied voice.

‘He listens very well. She's pretty and nice.'

“Hehe.”

Needhog twists his head, blushing as if he were ashamed of being pretty and kind.

I left Kuulin behind to avoid the situation of keeping the sheep and wolves together. Maybe it was a good idea to leave the fish to the cats.

While Taeho's gaze became aesthetic, Kuhoolin laughed, and Nidhog smiled at Bessie as if she was happy with the two of them now.

And Latatosk, who was watching all this from afar, frowned alone.
