You and me under the world tree

Utgarde just closed his eyes.

The words paused for a moment, and he smiled wryly.

"Of course not. In the final analysis, the powerful digestion ability of today's giants is only based on the composition of the world."

What is the subject of today's world?

Of course it is the World Tree Yuktra Hill.

So what is the essence of the world tree?

It is the proto-giant Ymir.

To put it bluntly, the physique and digestion ability of the giant that seems to be able to eat anything is essentially a refinement of vitality.

"If giants can really eat anything, then Ymir doesn't have to be obsessed with Odumbula the cow."

Odembra.

Having said that, it seems to be the original life other than Ymir?

It's just that after Ymir's death, it seemed to have disappeared. After all, it was directly involved in Ymir's creation storm.

It is also because of the existence of this cow that there are so many animals in the Nine Realms.

"But you must also admit that a place like Muspelheim will never give birth to the life we ​​know, so it is not suitable for survival."

Howard said this.

"Then here comes the problem. I believe that there is absolutely no love at first sight or ten thousand years as we usually know between Simmara and Surte, and there is no reason to go to Muspelheim's theory. So there is no love for a long time."

"So what do you want to say?"

"I want to say that even if Simmara gave birth to a child for Surte, she doesn't like Surte itself, does she? I think there should be something else that attracted her."

Hearing this, Utgard couldn't help but fell silent.

He just stared at the human.

"what happened?"

After feeling the sight of the giant, Hodder asked.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just found that you seem to like to analyze feelings very much, tearing apart things that sounded good."

Vaguely, Hodder felt an inexplicable ridicule.

However, he didn't care about anything.

"Then am I wrong?"

"No, it's mostly correct. Simmara was originally a very powerful witch among the Jotun tribe, and she didn't have any reason to go to Muspelheim."

"Why then?"

"Because she used magic to learn part of the prophecy. She saw the scene of the destruction of the Asa gods, and saw the end of the world tree being burned by the flame giant. After confirming this from Vavrunir, she seemed to be incorrigible. Medicine fell in love with Soult."

Falling in love with the Doom Giant who ultimately destroys everything just by seeing the end of the world?

"What reason?"

Howard asked involuntarily.

Worship of the strong?

A love for shattered?

Or hatred of the Aesir?

These speculations emerged in his mind, but no matter what, the behavior of this giant witch named Simmara looked weird.

Of course he wanted a concrete answer from Utgarde.

However, the giant shook his head.

"I don't know, I've only heard about many things."

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what you say.

Because from just now to now, Utgard was only explaining Simmara's deeds, and he didn't completely explain some uncertain things.

"In the past, many giants in Jotunheim thought she was crazy, because she brought many animals from Jotunheim to Surte."

"A lot of...animals?"

Suddenly, Hodder thought of Falk.

This flaming horse that now belongs to Dietrich seems to have been produced in Muspelheim?

"The current flame monsters are all cultivated by her."

"What is it for..."

Howard couldn't help but speak.

However, he couldn't get any reliable answers after all, because even Utgarde could only shake his head slowly.

"Who knows, you can ask her for the specific reason if you are interested, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"After she came back from Muspelheim, her whole body became normal, and now she is just an ordinary giant mother."

Then Hodder thought about it for a moment.

"In any case, Loki should trust her quite a bit, and even handed her the blueprint."

"No, in fact, because he didn't believe that much, the blueprint is actually only half."

"what?"

"There is only the first half of the process on Xinmara's side, but the last rune process is needed to make the flame sword take shape."

"Rune process?"

"It's in Diaz's hands."

"Diaz, I remember him as..."

"The father of Niord and Skadi is also a very good blacksmith in our Jotun clan. In addition, he has a young son who ran away from home, the youngest son who left Jotunheim."

"what?"

"Ward, do you know him?"

Who is this?

"do not know."

"It's fine if you don't know him. It's normal anyway. It's just that Wade was framed and died in the end, and his child's whereabouts are also unknown. This makes Diaz very regretful."

"That's a pity."

Howard said.

Now he actually doesn't have much time to care about this aspect.

He is planning his next move.

"Well, tell me where the original fire is, and I'll find a way to get it. After I get it, I'll go directly to visit Diaz and Xinmara. You don't have to interfere with the next thing. What do you think?" How about it?"

Hodder felt that his plan was feasible.

Utgarde, however, said nothing.

The giant just stared at the humans, which made Hodder feel a little strange.

"Are you feeling uneasy?"

"No, it's just that the original fire cannot be touched by ordinary means. Even Loki has tried it. As the god of wildfire, he touched the original fire."

"Then?"

"Then I was scalded. The original flame in this world contains the most ancient and brutal power."

"Then Loki must have found a solution to touch, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the design drawings of the weapon."

"Indeed, but you can't carry that primordial fire with you, can you?"

Having said that, Utgard reached out and knocked on the table.

"Compared to these, I still recommend you to get the blueprint first, and then talk about the original fire."

"It's not impossible."

At this moment, Howard still wanted to say something.

But suddenly, he saw a figure floating outside the window.

"Huh? That's..."

To be precise, there are two so-called figures.

One big and one small.

The older one is still Eggers, while the younger Huo De met once from a distance in the morning.

"Gloria?"

Just when Hodder frowned, Utgard sighed helplessly.

"Why don't these people go through the front door?"

Utgarde just gave Hodder a look.

"Exactly, you also want to get in touch with Gloria, let's get to know her first?"

Without giving Hod the right to refute at all, Utgard snapped his fingers.

The magic-driven window opened, and the suspended magnificent figure just entered the office.

"I caught a spy, so I'll throw it at you first."

"Huh? Spy?"

Before Utgard could refute, Gloria raised her hand.

"Eggers, please."

"okay."

The giantess nodded first, and then seemed to be holding something in her hands.

That posture was like holding a doll, she just turned in through the window carefully, and carefully put down the so-called spy in her hand.

However, this guy is now covered with a black cloth, so no one can see who he is.

"This guy? A spy?"

The corner of Utgard's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Well, let me stay here for a while."

Then, Gloria lifted the black cloth.

Immediately afterwards, a young face came into view, but it was tied up like a loach.

"This guy……"

"Why are you here?!"

Suddenly, Hodder couldn't help but asked aloud.

The person who was tied into a loach was clearly Wali!

Prologue: A...Spy From Asgard?

The moment Hodder spoke, the entire office fell into a strange silence.
