You and me under the world tree

As the God of Darkness, he killed his brother, which also wanted to make the darkness where the light fell and the eternal night came.

And because it has lost its warm radiance, the world has become icy cold.

This is the terrible winter.

Then there is Vali, the god of nature and vengeance.

Thus he put an end to the darkness, and made the chaotic night disappear.

It is not a warm day, nor a cold night, so what is left is only a momentary glow produced by the alternation of the two.

dusk.

Under the cold and dusk, the beginning of the outbreak of that great war, time also stagnated at this moment.

But of course, the above is just one of the interpretations of the legends circulating in modern times.

Because the object of its own interpretation is a myth that does not exist in the reality in cognition, this aspect also seems strange.

And when Huo De himself really came into contact with the Nine Realms, he would find that some of those weird interpretations didn't make sense at all.

Regardless of what the terrible winter was in the first place, in fact, the war between the gods and the giants was never triggered by a certain murder.

This kind of resentment has existed since the first time the Asir protoss deliberately calculated the Jotun giants.

The second war initiated by Hela was nothing more than that, because the blind God of War had a non-killing attitude, so the frost giants in Jotunheim did not suffer many casualties.

But the third war pushed that hatred to its peak.

Because of strategic issues, it can be said that the frost giants were beaten to ashes by the god of thunder with the magic hammer Mjolnir, leaving no residue of their souls, and everyone happily returned to the tree of life together. source.

According to Etzel, Thor, the god of thunder, completely suppressed the hearts of the giants with his violent and brutal style of play.

So this brought the fourth war to an end in a weird way:

No one responded, and naturally no large-scale battle could be fought.

But this does not mean that there is no hatred in the hearts of those giants, it is just that they are waiting.

Awaiting the prophesied day of war.

In the final analysis, there will always be a life-and-death battle between giants and gods, and it is nothing more than a matter of timing.

But this does not prevent the three people from becoming famous.

Whether or not that killing, murder or manslaughter, was related to the later Armageddon, these were indeed what happened in the first place.

Regardless of whether it is the legend of the mortal version or the revenge of the gods, whether it is the hero Hodr or the god Hodr, they will all die in the hands of Valli after killing the god Baldr.

But then again, what does Hodur, the God of Darkness, have to do with me, Hodr the Sage?

At this moment, Hodder really wanted to say these words in a relaxed tone.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't get them out anyway.

Because he knew that this matter was not that easy, and that bad old man was obviously not someone who would follow the so-called prophecy so easily.

He will definitely not throw his son here just because of the future event that 'Vali can kill Hoddle'.

And as long as he thought of this, combined with the previous sense of disobedience, he understood a series of operations made by that old man.

"First of all, you need a heir who is not a god, and at the same time you need superb martial arts."

What would you do if you wanted a 'fast track'?

Staring at the arrow in his hand, Huo De slowly closed his eyes.

"The answer is...reincarnation."

If there is no accident, the God of Winter, who has not responded to his followers for a long time, must have completely disappeared.

And his martial arts and divine power have been passed on to Wali now.

Thinking of this, Hodder's mood suddenly became complicated.

He was a little angry—angry at what the old man had done.

If his guess is true, then it means that he can even attack the compatriots of the Protoss.

As for the reason...

It is predicted that Uriel, the god of hunting, will replace Odin as the new king of gods. Does this count?

Others may not know it, but Hodder does.

There must be a reason for such records in the modern society he lives in.

"It's a good way to solve two troubles at once."

But at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Because Huo De has no way to deny the joy and ridicule surging deep in his heart.

He knew very well that the old man was already in a hurry.

He undoubtedly hated the prophecy, but now he subconsciously began to follow the prophecy, why didn't this make Hodder laugh?

"It looks like I've really become a thorn in your side, I just don't know how far you can go cough cough cough..."

He suddenly coughed twice.

Although he forcibly endured it, there was still a smear of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Hodder!"

Finally, the relatively inexplicably long silence was broken.

He heard a call, and when he looked up, he saw the blazing, glowing flame.

It was a war horse, and on top of the war horse were two figures.

"Quickly put out the flames! It's hot!"

"You bear with me!"

They don't seem to have any major problems.

After realizing this, he finally couldn't hold it any longer.

"puff!"

He suddenly protruded a big mouthful of blood, and his whole body began to shake.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but because he didn't have the strength to move, so he stood still.

Forcibly withdrawing the power of God's Wrath that has been dispersed, and insisting on leaving Vali alive?

How can that kind of power be taken at will?

"It's really... a big loss."

He coughed loudly.

And in this forest, it was the voice of worry that lingered.

"Hodder! Are you okay!"

"How are you?"

The battle should be considered over by now.

"I am fine."

Hodder directly used his giant sword as a crutch.

"It might take a while, though."

Chapter 39: Grid's Cabin

Rest is of course necessary.

In fact, it's not just Hodder who needs to rest, Dietrich is actually the same.

The reason why she was able to support until now was the iron gauntlet she had just obtained from Grid before.

This is completely overdrawing the body's high-load operation.

It may be able to support the wearer to fight through a whole battle, but after all, he still needs to rest.

Fortunately, they still have plenty of time, so it's not impossible to just delay for a day or two during the journey.

And there was only one thing left to consider.

"Could it be...is it possible for us to rest here?"

Seeing that Huo De was about to sit down where he was, Hela couldn't help but look around.

"On the scale of the 'forest,' it's a little too open."

"Then where did you say?"

After hearing what Hela said, Huo De only slightly raised his eyebrows.

Although he had just vomited a mouthful of blood before, after combing his body with magic, his injuries were no longer that serious.

"That woman, Grid, has a residence in this iron forest, let's rest there."

"Okay, just lead the way."

Before Hodder could respond, Dietrich quickly spoke.

Then, she turned over and dismounted directly.

"Hodder, you rest on horseback for a while."

"No, I think you're quite tired too, I can still go."

Originally, Hela was still thinking carefully - she was flipping through Grid's memory.

But after hearing the voice in her ear, she couldn't help but feel irritable.

"Okay, I know you are in love, don't let it go, okay?!"

She raised her voice suddenly.

However, at the moment when the voice burst out, Hela herself felt something was wrong.

And when Hodder and Dietrich looked at her, she couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable.

What the hell is this?

Why are you angry here?

"call."

Just rubbing her head like this, Hela couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Okay, I found the approximate location, now we..."

Originally, Hella wanted to tell a specific location.

But later, she discovered something embarrassingly: she didn't know the exact location now.

"Where are we?"

If you don't know the exact location now, it's not difficult to find the residence of that woman in Grid.

But now I don’t know anything, what if I go wrong and it’s funny soon?

"Previous means of bearing their bearings just won't work in this land."

While Hela was looking around, Dietrich spoke.

"Think carefully about whether that woman has any means of locking her own residence. It is impossible for her to leave behind."

Then, Hella closed her eyes again.

She quickly flipped through the pages of Grid's memory, and finally found it.

"A very normal method is the rune stone. After all, she is not completely reclusive, and sometimes needs to go out. If she leaves the steel forest, she will need the rune stone to lock the direction of her residence when she comes back."

"Also, there are probably more than one pair of rune stones."

Hodder quickly took over the conversation.

"After all, Grid gave birth to a child for that old man, so the relationship between them should be very close."
