Chapter 1396
Anti-theft chapter
----------

The winter of Fimbul has arrived, and even Asgard is affected.

The villages outside the city walls that are not protected by the power of the Asgardian gods are constantly being attacked by a large number of wild animals, and infectious diseases and pests that have never been seen are spreading in the fields.The Golden Palace sent Thor to lead a scientific research team to the countryside to collect samples, hunt and kill the beasts hidden in the deep mountains, and escort the samples of diseased crops back to the city wall for research and analysis.This has been a routine practice for many years. Under normal circumstances, there will not be too many problems. Relying on the abilities of the Frigga maids in the Golden Palace, most crop infectious diseases in the universe can be developed through the development of targeted drugs, the release of resistant viruses or Technology and witchcraft methods such as genetic modification have been solved, and disasters that are difficult for ordinary people to fight can also allow Thor to show his strength.

But this time, Thor met the largest wild boar he had ever met in his life. ,

It was a terrifying beast. It was already very old. Its fur had faded to grayish-white short hair mixed with dry mud. The brown fur that was common to common wild boars on the tall back did not appear on this beast. The sunlight overflows with a golden color similar to sunlight.But the golden color was fleeting, and Thor only saw the dirty gray-white fur, the wild boar's terrifying fangs that rolled up were yellow all over, and the scythe-like sharp bone spurs that were as tall as a person were covered with rotten black. At one point, the foul breath of the beast blows from one end of the field to the other, blowing mud, ears of wheat, and insects all into the sky, like a gale blowing in the lowlands.

"Gullinbursti?"

Thor tentatively called out a name, because he saw the wild boar's fur briefly golden in the sun, and beside the huge hooves, the whole field of mature winter wheat was stained with terrible black spots and decay.Thor's cries went unanswered, and the huge beast's eyes were clouded with white, and its rash-covered ears were filled with flies and maggots.He wasn't sure if the boar belonged to Frey, the god of fertility, and even if it was Gullinbursti, he had to defeat the sick beast to stop the disease that was destroying food.

After he dragged the dead beast back to the city walls, poems in praise of Thor were circulated in the tavern again.But Thor is not interested in going to the tavern this time to listen to bards bragging about their exploits, listening to those who have never seen a battle scene bragging about how they defeated "a wild boar as high as a mountain" and "destroyed rivers and mountains", He figured he needed to make sure that the boar was Frey's Grimbosti.

Sol knows that his relationship with Frey is not close, but if Asgard loses Frey, it means that Asgard's crop production will be hit hard, and the degree of dependence on the colonies beyond the Nine Realms At that time, the colonial rebellion caused by the forced expropriation of food will become more severe—the relationship among them was explained clearly to him by the wise man in the court, otherwise he would never have understood such a complicated relationship in his life—he Believing that he now needs wisdom from his father, he must seek help from others.

He went to see Sif first, but got the news that Sif was seriously ill. One of Frigga's maids, the Goddess El who was in charge of the hospital, was helpless about Sif's condition.Then he went to see another of Frigg's handmaidens, Val, who was said to be wise.This goddess is wise and observant, and it is said that nothing escapes her eyes.After the goddess Val saw the wild boar he hunted, she found Helene, another maid of Frigga.The maid's name means "guardian", she will protect those who Frigga wants to protect, and some people will call "Helene" who is warned before the disaster.

"Go and find the three goddesses of Norn by the Fountain of Urd, even your father will listen to their advice." After observing the sick beast corpse, Goddess Vaal gave her own answer, "Fountain of Urd The youngest Shikoti next to you will tell you the answer. You have to be careful of her, she is in charge of the future and it is bad, the thread of fate spun by the three goddesses of Norn in accordance with Wyrd (the fate in Germanic mythology) is always torn by her Crush, because the future is not static, it may even contradict itself, you have to be careful to distinguish the answers she gives you."

The three goddesses of Norn repeatedly warned that the winter of Fimbul was coming, but those three crazy prophets had been telling this warning for more than 1000 years, and no one would pay attention to their warning.Thor came to the place where the World Tree was deeply rooted, with a face full of embarrassment, because he was one of the people who loudly preached the alarmism of the three goddesses of Noren in the past.As Goddess Val said, Shikoti did not welcome his arrival. "I have already told you that the winter of Fimbul has come, and the dusk of the gods is approaching." She did not look at Thor, but stared at the void.The stellar light reflected from the Fountain of Uuld reflected her veil, and strands of thread inscribed with the runes of Fate lay scattered at her feet. "I told you, son of Odin."

"Your father didn't listen to our advice," said the mature and feminine Vildante.What she sees is now. "So you came to us."

"Because you have been deceived again." The aging Uld shook his head, "You have always been deceived, Son of Odin."

"What should I do?" Thor asked.

"Walk into the spring." Skoti spoke again.Her voice was as ethereal as ever, as if she wasn't talking to Thor but some phantom lost in time. "The dead will tell you all the secrets." Shikoti, "You have soaked in the spring of Urd, and the spring water will let you meet the unexpected dead."

"The order of her words does not follow the time." Vierdandy looked at Sol, "But what she said is not wrong, you need to soak in the spring water."

The halberd's blade accurately cut the throat of the giant creature, blood as dark as crude oil spilled out.

Hammurabi firmly grasped the monster's skull with one hand, and with the other, the front end of the spear handle of the Guard's Spear, using this exclusive weapon as a machete.He didn't activate the disintegration force field, but relied on the single-molecule metal blade to slash repeatedly until the thick spine was split open, bone residue and blood splashed everywhere.It wasn't until he tore off the still-howling monstrous head that he turned his weapon and turned his target to another troll behind him, then pulled the trigger to fire a cannonball.

Trolls, or trolls, are stupid-looking creatures.

They are huge in size, with thick limbs, and their brain capacity is completely insufficient to support them in advanced thinking activities. Even so, they still have cunning and instinct that do not match their appearance.Trolls have five fingers similar to humans, but their claws and teeth are very sharp, which can easily tear the skin of animals and break thick bones.They are keen to go out hunting at night and stay in caves to avoid the sun during the day, but as the sunshine in Scandinavia gradually decreases, these trolls ushered in a long time of activity without worrying about being exposed to the sun and then become stiff.

There used to be some trolls who lived on the earth in the past, but with the passage of time, the troll race has long been extinct in the dust of time, leaving only a scaly claw in the legend of the Vikings.Now these trolls came in droves through another passage between the dimensions, hungry for anything to eat, as if something was chasing them.

This creature, whose height is close to that of the Imperial Guards, has extremely tenacious vitality. Even the Imperial Guards suffered a little when they first faced them. Even Amon's battle robe was corroded by the foul-smelling acidic saliva spit out by a troll. Make a big hole.But fortunately, the power provided by power armor and bio-alchemy far exceeds that of the troll's hideous body. The imperial guards quickly adjusted their posture and began to slaughter those trolls who entered the planet.Bombs are still too powerful for this kind of creature. The high-density muscles and bones do not make trolls immune to these armored warheads that can explode metal armor. Their flesh and blood are still extremely fragile when the warheads explode, just like being attacked by them Hunted wild deer as well as brown bears.

Although the main function of the Praetorian Guard is not to fight, powerful force is an indispensable ability for them to achieve their goals.As long as they are willing, no one on this planet can surpass them in the art of killing.There are no redundant movements in their battles. "Precise" and "efficient" are the best adjectives to describe their fighting style-only half an hour later, they just slaughtered a small troll tribe's guards and emperor. By following the shallow and weird footprints in the snow, he arrived at the passage of reality that Odin said, together with Nilfheim and Midgard.

More than once, the emperor and the imperial guards found the bones of wild animals that had been gnawed into pieces in the snow, and the internal organs, fur and flesh were all gone.Through the calculation of the bones and the emperor's estimation of the minimum food intake of the troll species, Amon estimated the number of trolls who came to Earth.Now it's time to verify the calculation results. This cave can fully accommodate them to enter—although they haven't entered the cave entrance, everyone can smell the stench of the troll. The emperor and the guards even saw the troll A blanket made of animal fur, the fat under the fur has not even been scraped clean.Maybe that's why trolls are always so oily.

Without knowing the intensity of the battle they are about to face, the Imperial Guard intends to solve their inner doubts first.

"My lord, should a superstition like the winter of Fimbul be taken into consideration?" asked Hammurabi, "The current extreme weather is entirely due to Scandinavia Caused by volcanic ash blocking sunlight, it is an unfounded inference to link it with the end of the Asgardians."

"Finbull's Winter is a general term for doomsday phenomena. On different planets, Fenbull's Winter has different manifestations."

The emperor seemed delighted that Hammurabi was able to protest, and he remained patient enough to answer the Praetorian's questions.He pointed to the clouds that had accumulated on the distant mountain peaks. "According to our measurements, the solid content of that cloud layer is much higher than normal, which indicates that the cloud layer contains a lot of volcanic ash. Just melt the snow under our feet, and you can also see many solid particles. This is the Quetzalcoatl. coming impact."

Amon was puzzled by this.

"The volcanic ash blocking the sun and causing extreme weather is a ritual, because the cold and hunger experienced by the souls of this disaster will become the prelude to the twilight of the gods. In the world of outer dimensions, all behaviors and phenomena have meaning, as long as someone believes Then the ritual can become real. The prophecies of Fimbul's Winter and Ragnarok have been circulating since the founding of Asgard, remember how I described this phenomenon in my book Self-Fulfillment of Prophecy? Of course we It will not be limited to the self-fulfilling prophecy in psychology, but to look further and study the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecy by groups and even society."

The emperor was efficient at killing, but he remained casual, impaling the troll that tried to attack him with the golden spear in his hand.The fat abdomen was cut open like parchment, and the fetid viscera smashed onto the cold rock. The female troll wailed and fell, trying to use her last strength to bite her yellow fangs on the emperor's boots.However, before it could do so, Amon crushed its jaw, and trampled to death the troll cub that tried to jump off its back to escape.

These trolls who came to Earth were caught in a cave by Odin's killing - although the All-Father was old and frail, his spells became more powerful.An ordinary ax with runes can cut through the slimy and thick skin of the troll, and dig through the thick bones-although those monsters don't know who killed them, Odin's bloodthirsty is still a great shock That's why the emperor thought that Odin had other plans. The old guy didn't need help at all, and these monsters were the prey.It can even be said that these trolls are not the point. Odin doesn't care whether these trolls will attack nearby human settlements, he just wants to guide the emperor into that passage.

The emperor thought he had seen through Odin's tricks, and he didn't intend to just go in so foolishly and be fooled.As the twilight of the gods approaches, Odin, who wanted to decorate himself with honors and titles in the past, will inevitably put down more hypocritical bottom lines. The father of the gods himself is a cruel, bloodthirsty, and cunning ruler. Possibly on a whim to care for the future Lord of Karma Taj and Lord of Humanity, especially with so many gifts given.

"Asgard's Ragnarok will be your next topic. This topic in the Obsidian Tower will be placed on your desk as a regular visitor. We will explore the success and failure of the Asgar Protoss, so as to prevent us from leading The human race went to the same end." The emperor looked at Hammurabi, "Asgard made many decisions for us, and they also paid the price for humans. We're going through the toughest time ahead."
