Old days in the box

Chapter 151 But, what’s the price?
The fate predicted by Joseph really came true.

They won an unprecedented victory, almost the first time on the continent of Europa that a mortal had defeated the ocean.

Even if all this was accomplished with the help of the Sons of the Old One, it would not affect the gold content of this victory at all.

There is no doubt that they will rise to become the largest kingdom to dominate the west coast.

But Taiyin did not join in the cheers of the crowd, but sank blindly into the bottom of the sea, looking for Joseph's figure.

He refused to believe this fact, and refused to believe that Joseph would just disappear.

At this time, a large number of fleets had returned to the shore of the Eastern Continent and landed on the shore to rest temporarily.

Many soldiers at the bottom didn't know what was going on. They just cheered each other's victory eagerly and were welcomed to the mainland by the North Sea Fleet to enjoy this rare victory.

Only the Lion Guards were vaguely aware of what happened. They all stood on the shore, helplessly watching His Majesty the King rise and dive over and over again, not knowing what to do.

"My lord, Witch Joseph..." Freya couldn't help but pray to the increasingly clear sky when she saw Tain's appearance.

"Please help him search carefully. If the body can be found, maybe I can still help him." Zhou Xiao sighed and responded to Freya.

Others may not know much about the relationship between the king and the witch Joseph, but Zhou Xiao sees it clearly from God's perspective and has a basic understanding of them through biographies.

The relationship between the two of them is definitely not something that outsiders can easily explain.

If Zhou Xiao was willing to turn his perspective to the goddess of death just now, maybe he could find a way to help Tai Yin.

But this was a war, and it was a war between gods. He had to make his own choices.

In his plan, the goddess of death did not appear.

Hela did not come for Zhou Xiao, but for Taiyin. He could not leave his own people alone during the war and run to take care of Taiyin and the others.

The most he could do now was see if he could fish out the body.

If Freya can find Joseph's body - even just some body parts, Zhou Xiao can find a way to resurrect her.

After all, as far as he knew, there were thousands of games on the Internet, and the powers related to resurrection were countless.

Resurrection coins, resurrection of the dead, and group resurrection techniques are not difficult to find.

But it's not possible to put these powers into the world inside the window and still function normally.

Because no matter where it comes from, the power of resurrection must at least have a casting target, either something related to the deceased, such as corpses, debris, clothes and shoes, or the soul of the deceased.

In Nordic mythology, there are only two places for the souls of the dead to go. One is as a hero who died in battle, and was guided into the Hall of Valor by the Valkyrie to become a heroic warrior under Odin to prepare for the coming Ragnarok.

The other destination was under the control of Helheim, the country of death, and fell into the hands of the goddess of death, Hela.

Joseph's soul was personally led by Hela on the spot and brought back to the realm of the Kingdom of Death. Among the nine realms, the power of authority is supreme. In any area covered by the concept of authority, even other gods cannot Quan intervenes.

Therefore, once the soul returns to the kingdom of death, no one can take it back from the goddess in charge of death.

If Freya couldn't retrieve the body, even if Zhou Xiao dragged the power of resurrection to them, they wouldn't be able to find anyone to cast the spell on.

He was not afraid that the power of resurrection would not take effect. What he was most afraid of was that if he was resurrected, he would be nothing more than a walking corpse with the appearance of Joseph. That would probably be an even heavier blow to Tayin.

Freya followed the guidance of the Son of the Past and immediately turned over into the sea. With the help of the power of the ocean, she quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and helped Tain search for it.

In her opinion, Joseph not only saved Tayin, but also saved herself.

Therefore, in Freya's eyes, she was partly responsible for her death, and she felt guilty and uncomfortable for it.

As the two of them dived, unsuspecting people on the shore were also invited to the towns on the eastern continent, and the good news was sent back to the western continent in the North Sea through the Hex Flying Gate.

Sharon, who had been worried in the Western Continent, was immediately overjoyed when he heard that they had returned with a great victory. He brought the people over from the Hex Flying Gate and held a grand celebration for them to welcome the victory of the Beihai and Frank soldiers. .

Every surviving soldier here, whether from Beihai or Frank, tried their best in this divine battle without flinching or turning around and running away.They deserved this moment that belonged to them, so neither Freya nor the Lion Guards stopped them from cheering and celebrating.

But after several hours of searching, neither Freya nor Tyin found anything.

The sea area that had just been sealed by Egil's divine power was littered with countless sunken ships, corpses, swords and shells, but although there were many corpses, none of them belonged to women, let alone Joseph.

Not only was there no trace of her in the entire sea, not even a necklace or a piece of clothing fabric could be found. It was as if the whole person had evaporated out of thin air, and only the soul followed Hela back to the land of the dead.

It was not until dusk gradually fell that Freya and Tyin slowly came ashore from the sea and walked to the shore soaked.

At this time, the Lion Guards had been waiting here for a long time without leaving a step. When they saw their king coming ashore, they immediately surrounded him.

"Your Majesty, how is the search going?" A loyal knight stepped forward and asked with his face covered in dust.

"I didn't find anything. I'll take a breath before going down to look for it." Taiyin panted heavily and shook his head.

"There's no need to go down anymore, there's nothing in the sea." Freya answered calmly as she walked beside him.

"How do you know there's nothing?" Taiyin stopped and looked at her with a little anger.

"I act as the authority over the ocean for the Children of the Old One. It is impossible to miss anything by searching the ocean, but I didn't find anything... You and I should both be able to guess what's going on."

Freya's expression was also very bad, but she looked directly into Taiyin's eyes without fear and spoke to him calmly.

Joseph was not killed by physical means, but disappeared by sacrificing himself to the power of fate. It is impossible to leave anything behind in this way of death. If he continues to look for it, it will just be self-paralysis and it is completely meaningless. .

Freya knew that everyone was in a bad mood, but she didn't think such behavior could help him.

"Even divine power may make mistakes. I have to go down and look for it again." Taiyin frowned, as if he didn't want to hear any more, and turned around to return to the sea.

"You are wasting your time."

"I don't care! I must find her! As long as I can recover her body, the world will definitely find a way to bring her back to me!"

Snapped--

In an unexpected change, the angry Tyin was slapped in the face by Freya, making a crisp sound.

The Lion Guards were all frightened by Freya. His Majesty the King was an extremely proud and arrogant general. He usually didn't even find someone to contradict him, let alone beat him.

"Look at your soldiers, look around. She's not the only one we've lost. It's enough."

Taiyin stroked the corner of his mouth and looked up at the Lion Guards who had been guarding the shore. Their number had been reduced visibly. The remaining knights all had their faces covered with blood and dust, and their bodies were covered with blood. It's scars and battle scars.

But they said nothing, never left here, and stayed on the shore, waiting for their king to return.

Taiyin was stunned, an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart.

"We won. This is the victory she brought to you by sacrificing herself. She hopes you can become a great king! Your soldiers and your people also need you like this." Freya shouted at him.

Taiyin suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, not knowing whether he was sighing or thinking about something; but he quickly looked forward again, and then the knights saw that His Majesty the King was actually crying on his face.

They have followed Tain from now on, putting down the rebellion and conquering the enemy with unparalleled power. They are known as the lions of Frank. No matter how dangerous the situation is, the king always looks excited and unafraid of death. I've never seen him frown.

Since he rarely felt sad, he didn't even know how to hide his tears, so he clumsily raised his head in an attempt to stop them.

"Lion Guards." Taiyin said.

"Your Majesty," the knights responded blankly.

"Triumph."

Taiyin used his last strength to say these two words, and then slowly left the coast, as if a soulless doll was dragging his body towards the town where the sky was filled with joy.
