Valhalla Saga

&

Nidhogg winks at Hresbelg with a face of half anticipation and fear.

Kuulin cautiously opens his mouth.

‘Odin, surely Hresbelg will help you in your battle with the giants. This is a somewhat blasphemous question, but do you have any ideas for persuading or subduing him? The Saga of Taejo works for all monsters who can ride, but it is only when the opponent is a polyp that exerts the greatest power. ’

“I know. The fact that Needhog was special. ”

In fact, no matter how many people conquered the dragons, it was impossible to completely subdue the ancient dragons.

Nevertheless, it was thanks to Nidhog that Taeho was able to achieve such a feat.

Needhog did not resist Taejo. Rather, he actively cooperated to help Taeho conquer him easily.

Hresbelg had no guarantee that he would behave like Nidhog. No, I was much more likely not to.

Furthermore, those who conquered dragons were Saga specialized in ruling polyps as they were named.

In the case of Nidhog, the polyp, Hresbelg was different, although it would have been somewhat controllable even without her cooperation.

It was not a polyp, but it was unknown how much Taejo's saga would work for him.

Because of this, Saga of Tae Ho was not enough. We needed a new plan to defeat him.

“There is a way to get Hresbelg to cooperate. ”

Odin raises his hand to the sky, speaking directly.

“Unlike Needhod, he's not alone. The tallest branch is not an inaccessible area like the roots. It's just a hard land to get to and from. ”

The highest branches were named after the highest in the world's number. Just as the fog area near the roots was difficult to reach, even the highest branches were difficult to reach.

But as Odin himself said, it was difficult, not impossible.

“I've met Hresbelg several times. Unlike Needhod, he knows a lot about everything. ”

Needhog blushes his cheeks as if he were ashamed to say he was surrounded by a mystery.

Odin, who I didn't even know he was, spoke with a soft face.

“I intend to offer him a battle. ”

‘Duelling · · · · ·? ’

“Yes. He likes to bet as much as he likes to eat. Even more proud and arrogant. I have what he's always coveted, so if you cooperate with him and ask him to battle, he will surely respond. ”

‘Yes, I know what you mean. ’

Kuulin nods slowly and reassures you.

If Odin's personality is what he says it is, he is more likely to cooperate fairly to keep his word once the battle has been won.

Odin looks back at Tahoe.

“Of the warriors of Idun, who can fight, you stand the most victorious. As the King of the Gods and Holy Father of Valhalla, may I ask you to battle? ”

Among the remaining warriors of Midgard, there are a handful of superior warriors. However, Taeho was the first to discuss only strength. With runes from defeating the striking king king Hrumbark, Taeho is now a superior warrior with more than a mid rank.

When asked to battle with Hresbel, Ademaha and Nidhog expressions anxious, but Taeho dares to nod. Odin's words were the most successful because he was Taeho himself.

“I'm going to battle. ”

Odin smiles with a mixture of apology and satisfaction.

“Thank you. I'm sorry to keep you in suspense, but if you take back Valhalla in the future, I will reward you handsomely." ”

“I look forward to it.”

Odin was also relieved when Taeho answered quite cheerfully. I looked back at everyone and said,

“I came to Midgard to check on the situation of the warriors and see if anyone would gather warriors for me. Las Grid and Reggie Rafe would be enough. You can go straight to the highest branch to catch Hresbelg, just face to face. ”

Odin pauses, teasing his fingers. Then one of the dots on the map emitted a particularly bright light.

“Las Grid is not far from Cataron now. I will send ravens to Las Grid so that he can come running himself, so that he can reunite with Las Grid tomorrow, no later than tomorrow. ”

After Las Grid and the reunion, it was the goal of the plan to go back to Nibbleheim, repair the power and guide Latatosk to the highest branch.

When the story was finished and the situation was about to leave for Cataron, Adenmaha, who secretly noticed, grabbed Taejo's arm and said small.

“Hey, mister. Before we go, I just want to say one thing. ”

“What's this about? ”

“Try summoning Rollo. ”

“Rollo?”

Suddenly, he tilted his head and asked again with a serious face.

“When you were in the Shadow Tower, Heda and I had arranged something for you. If something goes wrong at the encampment or in Valhalla and I lose contact with Idun, I send Rollo out to deliver the last message. ”

It was a kind of emergency contact.

In his words, Taeho was silent for a moment instead of answering kindly. He was activating Idun's warrior during the whole battle with the World Wolves, so he was more likely to think he was dead.

“I'll give it a shot. ”

Still, it was only a matter of time before I got low. Taeho pulls the Summon Stone out of his arms and injects it with magical power.

“Rollo.”

The small moment opened the space. Rollo, who has been biting the unknown beast's meat on his beak, shows up.

“Rollo!"

Taejo shouted, but Rollo did not greet Taejo as much as Adenmaha did. I looked at Taejo with somewhat fat eyes and swallowed the fish that was biting my beak.

And that was that moment.

“Rollo!"

Adenmaha shouts, and Rollo quickly turns his head. He opens his eyes wide and runs straight for Athenmaha.

“Tickle! Tickle! ”

Athena, who was pushed back by Rollo, bursts a smile at Karr. Rollo licks his cheeks with an elongated tongue on top of him like that. He looked like a dog that he had met completely as an owner.

‘Hey, why do you think I welcome Athelmaha more than you? ’

Kuulin, who pointed out the truth without even telling me, chuckles.

Instead of answering Moore, Taeho looks at Rollo and Adenmaha with a fat face, and Adenmaha pushes away Rollo's face.

“I flew in after dinner. I wonder how you only sing when you're eating all the time. ”

“Tell Rollo he's having a weird time eating. ”

It's not even time for dinner.

Of course, I thought Rollo, a wild predator, would have a human meal, but I wanted to say something anyway.

Athena laughs as if such a taco were cute. Then she gets up and searches around Rollo's neck. Rollo raises his head as much as he can to help him. He growls small and growls.

“My lord, Heda has a letter. ”

Before long, I could find a sealed envelope with candles in the bag on the necklace.

Taeho, who handed over the envelope to Ademaha, gave a complicated look to the golden apple emblem engraved on the seal, but only for a moment. I straightened my face and opened the envelope.

Meanwhile, while, while studying the shape of Taejo, Athena suddenly looked back. The popularity seems to have changed, but Nidhog is staring at Taejo with a very hard face.

“What's the matter? ”

It was easy to see that I had met Needhog less than an hour ago, but he didn't look right.

Needhog narrowed his glance as if it were hard to explain, and he suddenly shook his head.

“Master Tahoe, I love you so much. I like the owner because he likes me, but I feel frustrated because he likes me so much. Nails · · · Win. Yeah, I don't know if that's true, but I don't think I can win. So I'm frustrated.”

Needhog cries. And Athena vomited a long sigh as if she knew what she was feeling, but only for a little while. He then pinched Needhog's cheek tightly.

“Hey, can I win? How am I doing? How am I doing?”

I didn't have the same reaction when I saw myself.

“It hurts. It hurts. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. Even Aden Maha isn't worth it. I'll say no. ”

“Will you do it? This is real. ”

Needhog, who was pinned on both cheeks, cried in haste, but the vocabulary choice was wrong.

Of course, even Aden Maha didn't mean it. However, the speech just made my hands stronger.

Taeho read the first passage of the letter while Ku Hulin gladly watched the war of dragons unfolding in a corner of Midgard. A smile was drawn, and a happy greeting was written whenever I heard it.

‘How are you today? ’

Taeho continued to read the letter. It briefly states the damage caused by the Magic King's attack on Asgard and the urgent sealing of Valhalla.

‘Idun, I always believe in you. I look forward to seeing you again. You must.'

P.S. Check the envelope. I have something from Idun. ’

After several repairs, there were traces that were erased. Taeho, who barely read the letter, smiled bitterly and folded the letter into his arms.

Inside the envelope was a small medallion the size of Heda's thumb. It was made of gold, but I felt the powerful power of Idun.

“It is a token of delegation to the full authority of the legion. ”

Odin, who has been quiet all this time, said.

“A commander with a token can exercise the power equal to the god of the Legion, the master of the Legion. We will be able to deal with all major military agencies, including the appointment of a new Valkyrie. In addition, when you work with other troops, you will be treated equally as the god of the troops, not as the commander. ”

In fact, it was a token of power, not an exaggeration, even if he changed the owner of the force.

Taeho understood why Idun had entrusted this to him.

I could tell by Heda's letters.

Idun had little evidence to prove his survival. But she believed in Taeho's survival to the end.

If Taeho is still alive.

What can I do to help? What's the best I can do now that Valhalla is about to be sealed?

That was the answer I gave at the end. The gold medallion contained Yidu's desperate desire for Taejo's survival.

Taeho grabs the medallion tightly and remembers Idun's face.

I prayed and prayed many times for her name, which was always kind and kind.

And again, how much time has passed.

As you set out for Cataron, Ku Hulin looks back at Odin with a very serious face. I took a few moments and asked with a straight voice.

"Dear Odin, I have one last important question. ’

A really important element, perhaps even the defeat of the operation.

Is Hresbelg a female or a male? ’

Odin grins bitterly at Kuulin's question, and Athena grins her ears.

&

The highest place in the world - the highest branches have always had strong winds around them.

But like the eye of the storm, the center of the tallest branch was still. It was no exaggeration even if there was no wind.

The silent sky is crossed by a black bird. Birds that land with slow wings are never small. It was almost the size of a man.

Verde Folnier.

It was one of the many horsepowers that lived in the water of the world. It had strong magic. As he landed, black feathers turned black and long hair and silk, wrapped around white Nazis.

The human form of Verde Polnir was a beautiful and intelligent woman with eyes as sharp as a hawk.

As soon as she lands on the ground, she kneels and bows her head in homage.

“My king, I've been there. ”

The acoustic bead rolls over the tray with a clear, clear voice.

But Verde Polnir's example does not even look back at her. He looked down at the highest branch and said behind his back.

“Ratatosk hasn't arrived yet. ”

“I haven't heard from you in days. Maybe it's time to pay attention to what happens in the underwater and the underwater. ”

Verde Polnyr cautiously said, but it was useless. Hresbelg, her master and supreme branch ruler, snorted and said.

“Nonsense. The locus does not leave the highest branch. He only single-handedly kills those who invade the realm of God and Giants. ”

Hresbelg was wearing white. It was given to me by warriors from all over Asgard during the Great War.

Big, strong old man.

Hresbelg looks like a warrior in a palace. He was over two meters tall, and his shoulders were stiff as walls.

Two eyes under the fierce eyebrows that remind me of the white repair's ear sprayed a sharp glare.

The things in his eyes were various worlds unfolding beneath the highest branches.

“Black Poison Dragon Needhog. ”

The world's lowest and deepest enemy, Hresbelg himself. The ancient dragon that followed its destiny to Hresbelg himself, the king of birds.

How evil he must be.

And how powerful he must be.

Hresbelg himself moves only when he moves. Before that, he had no intention of leaving the highest branch.

“It is not time for the throne yet. ”

As Nazik described it, Hresbelg took a look at the stream.

I smiled gladly, drawing a glorious blood clot with my enemies that would one day unfold.
