You and me under the world tree

"call!"

In an instant, the pitch-black void was completely dispelled, and what greeted the eyes was the clear blue sky and the slightly dazzling sunlight.

Well, the sun is very harsh.

After staring at the sky for a while, the old king finally narrowed his eyes belatedly.

Then, he just sat up, and when he glanced around, what he saw was a mess.

The huge military camp that originally occupied the terrain was almost completely torn apart, and what was left was only traces of being burned by flames.

Fortunately, there are no people around.

His eyes finally swept over the Norwegian soldiers, guards, and even his own children.

However, he did not stop his gaze on them.

Compared with them, there is obviously another person worthy of more attention for the old king.

It was a woman, and the only woman who didn't pay attention to the old king immediately after he woke up.

She is clad in armor and has wide wings behind her.

Valkyrie (Valkyrie).

"Did you save me?"

They soaring in the sky are the messengers of the gods, and in the knowledge of the old king, she is probably the only one who can lend a helping hand to him.

After hearing the old king's question, the Valkyrie turned around slowly.

"Yes, because you can't die yet, you still have unfinished missions."

mission……

After hearing what the Valkyrie said, Gevarus took a deep breath.

To be honest, he was not as happy as he imagined, and even bored with it.

It is true that he was afraid of death, but it was not so pleasant to be dragged back from the brink of death.

Because it meant that he was caught in another, bigger vortex from which he could not escape.

"You once promised and made an oath, Gevarus."

In the end, the Valkyrie's statement pulled him back from his long and painful thoughts, and his expression finally became helpless.

In any case, he dared not show any attitude towards these messengers of the gods.

"I know."

Just keeping his head down, he responded in a low voice.

"I'll do those things."

"Well, the gods are looking forward to your performance."

'crash'

Without any more greetings, the Valkyrie spread her wings, and then flew straight into the sky.

Her speed was very fast, and she was far away from the earth in a short while, turned into a shooting star in the sky, and disappeared into the clouds.

"Valkyrie..."

Staring at the direction in which the Valkyrie left, Gevarus couldn't help sighing.

It should be said that it is a dream that every teenager will have.

Travel the world with the weapons in your hands, and meet the beautiful winged girl during the adventure.

Heroes and beauties have always been a good story in the atrium world, and under the whitewash of legends, no one wants to be a warrior who is valued and appreciated by the gods.

Gevarus himself is certainly no exception.

Once upon a time, he was also obsessed with this kind of figure that seemed to only exist in those hero legends.

But maybe it was because of growing up. After taking over the lord's duties from his father, his thoughts on this aspect faded.

But even he himself didn't expect that he would actually see the legendary Valkyrie in his later years, and would be "valued" by the gods.

Unfortunately, this situation is far from the dream adventure he imagined in his youth.

Whether it is myself or my children, they are like fish on a chopping board.

Must act according to the requirements of the gods!

Although even now, the legendary envoy Hermod treats him very politely, just casually putting forward the "needs" of the gods.

However, he knew that he couldn't take this superficial politeness seriously.

Therefore, I must march according to the original plan.

Thinking of this, Gevarus couldn't help clenching his fists.

"How long have I been asleep?"

After adjusting his emotions, he looked at his child.

"All day, Father."

Daly replied quickly.

"The Valkyries have been trying to summon your spirit, but they said..."

Speaking of this, Daly suddenly stuttered.

"They said..."

"What did they say?"

Watching his eldest son's hesitant expression, Gevarus laughed.

"Come on, it's no big deal."

Maybe it's because of the encouragement from my father that worked.

After hesitating for a moment, Daly spoke slowly:

"They said that father, you have no firm willpower and are a 'coward'."

After saying these comments, Daly began to gasp.

He stared at his father's expression.

From what he knew, his father actually didn't like to hear these comments, so he would definitely be quite angry.

But what surprised him was that Gevarus' expression was extremely calm.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?"

"Well, there's another thing...that fire means a funeral. If you don't have firm willpower, you will be sent to the Nether Kingdom soon."

"That's it."

After hearing this answer, Gevarus just closed his eyes.

"Then father, you are..."

"I stood in front of the gate of the Nether Kingdom before, and what those Valkyrie said was right."

"..."

Chapter 50: Help from the Valkyries

For a moment, Daly's expression was extremely complicated.

What to say?

Probably because of that word:

Father.

Although he is also an adult, he is Gevarus' child after all.

In addition, his current status is all derived from his father's power, so he will naturally lower his posture during the conversation.

And even if you don't discuss topics such as identity, status, and interests, it is normal for a son to worship his father.

And of course Daly adored his king father.

From the time he really remembered, his father was the king who ruled the country.

At that time, he didn't understand anything, he only knew that his father had a very high status, and the people around him treated his family with reverence.

However, with his growth and education from outside, he also gradually understood the heavy burden imposed on the king by the whole kingdom.

A lot of power, that's right.

But along with this enormous power comes kinghood, which is pretty hard work.

As a king, you must have many qualities.

When communicating with others, you can't express your emotions and anger, and you have to be decisive in making decisions, but at the same time, you can't be reckless.

Every decision made by the king is related to the development of the kingdom, and the development of the kingdom is related to the status of the entire kingdom.

Today, of course, he has begun to handle some affairs in the kingdom alone with the help of his courtiers. He also has his own territory and needs to manage it well.

And these things alone already made him feel that lingering exhaustion.

Then the king's work must be even heavier, and those who can bear this burden should be extremely resolute.

It's just that now, when Gevarus calmly admits his shortcomings, he always feels complicated.

"Are you feeling disappointed?"

Just when Daly's thoughts gradually became complicated, his father's voice suddenly came from his ear.

"what……"

Listening to his father's calm question, Daly didn't know how to face it for a while.

"I……"

"Don't be so nervous."

Facing Daly's bewildered expression, Gevarus whispered.

In fact, he doesn't need his own children to answer this question at all, because Daly's previous expression changes have already proved this point.

Moreover, he will not punish anything for this.

Perhaps in the past, with his self-esteem, he would probably feel angry from embarrassment.

But now...

"I do fear death."

Perhaps it was because he died once in a real sense, and walked before the Nether Gate. There is nothing to deny this kind of thing.

Even at this moment, Gevarus stretched out his hand to touch his chest with lingering fear—there should have been a sword wound there.

He remembered very clearly that it spread from the chest and abdomen to the neck, as if the whole body was split open.

With just one blow of the sword, he fell down.

"But at the same time, I don't have any strong desire to survive."

This statement sounds a little difficult to understand, because it is fundamentally contradictory.

However, Daly didn't ask too much.

After thinking about it for a while, he knew the specific reason.

"Because of……"
