You and me under the world tree

And after looking along this seemingly limitless body, He Huale saw a huge head.

"Jomungard..."

Below the surface of the dark water, Hewale only felt that he could not breathe.

If on land, she could still think about how to use the soldiers under her hand to deal with sea monsters, then now, she only felt that her mind was blank.

This is the huge pressure brought by the body, and it is the crushing of the lowest human beings by the upper species.

And more importantly, the underwater environment was extremely strange to her.

Seeing Jormungandr on land and seeing a swimming snake underwater are fundamentally two different things.

Even at this moment, Herwalle felt that he might die.

This is why humans are unwilling to dive underwater in the northern seas, and she actually encountered the deepest thing head-on.

Why is it here?

Why is this monster here?

It's clear that Howler has too many questions to ask.

But at this moment, her tongue trembled and her whole body trembled.

Although with the assistance of the necklace, her underwater senses are not completely blocked, and she can hear many voices.

But at this moment, she found that she couldn't hear anything.

Until a ray of light appeared in front of him.

"Don't stand there stupidly, the entrance is right in front of you."

Accompanied by that still calm voice, Hewale finally forced himself to shift his gaze to the man beside him.

Hodder the Sage, he was ahead at first, but he swam back in the end.

"you……"

"Don't be stunned."

Suddenly, a huge force came from her hand, and she felt that her hand wearing a leather glove was squeezed heavily.

The pain penetrated into the brain instantly, and then, the pain directly forced her to wake up.

"I……"

Hewale was a little incoherent for a while, but Hodder didn't care.

He just set his eyes on the big snake wriggling slowly around.

Jormungandr's body is still mostly at the bottom of the ocean, and he's here for a reason after all.

However, he is not needed just yet.

"Take your attention away, I think you should be interested in this."

The calm tone of the sage always has a unique magic power at this time.

Especially for people who are panicked, this kind of calm will make people feel that he is planning a strategy, and as an ally, it can give people an extraordinary sense of security.

So soon, Hewale adjusted his own breathing.

Her eyes finally moved away from the huge worldly python, and her eyes were placed on the scenery below the island.

Then, she saw those scenes that she would never forget.

Dilapidated houses submerged under the surface of the water, stone buildings, these are things that are similar to human beings but completely different.

Although they appear to have aged well, the buildings have clearly stood the test of time.

Even though some are only outlines, they still stand here.

"This is...the ruins?"

"Well, these buildings belong to the gods—at least they used to be."

Chapter 45: Remains of the Gods

"God's...building?"

After hearing what the sage said, He Huale couldn't help turning his head.

Maybe it was because the doubts at this moment were too great, she couldn't help turning her eyes to the sages around her, and she didn't even care about the unhostile giant snake.

"The building of the gods... is under the sea?"

"Is it hard to understand?"

"I thought they all lived in Vanaheim or Asgard."

"..."

Then, for a few seconds, Hodder did not give any response.

During this time, Howard has been watching her.

This seemed to come from the gaze of the soul, and He Huale couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Not to mention Hodder's own state of mind, but Hewalle felt that this kind of sight made him feel uncomfortable.

And just when she was about to speak, the sage finally gave the answer.

"Asgard and Vanaheim, these two gods are based on the world tree Uktra Hill, but after all, the gods are life born before the 'creation'."

There is no reason for humans in the atrium world to be unfamiliar with the creation myth of Uktra Hill.

The evil proto-giant Ymir and his brutal giants

The god who fought back against the brutal and bloodthirsty giants

This is the definition in the cognition of humans, elves, and dwarves, because theoretically, except for some giants and gods who are involved, no one knows what happened at that time.

Perhaps with the passage of time, there are some differences between the creation stories sung by poets in Midgard and the "first edition" told by the gods.

However, it's mostly the same because the tone doesn't change.

"Yuktra Hill, the world tree that supports the seven worlds, this giant tree that stands on the Jinlunga Gap itself originated from Ymir's corpse, and before Ymir was killed by the gods, The gods naturally live elsewhere."

As for where to live, no one has ever made a conclusion on this point, so Hodder didn't say much.

"Perhaps this was the residence of the gods before."

Then why not giant's...

Hearing Huo De's tone was still calm, He Huale subconsciously wanted to fight.

But she refrained later, because even she knew that the giant's size was definitely more than that.

Not to mention the magic to change the body shape, the giant who is still polishing the animal bones on the edge of the abandoned port can also show the body shape of the giant race to a certain extent.

After all, the reason why they are called giants is that they are bigger than the gods.

Then, their buildings must be even bigger.

"Can you move your body now?"

Just when Hewale was silent, Hodder spoke again.

At this moment, Hewale also subconsciously moved his arms and thighs.

Disappeared, the previous feeling of being unable to move seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment, which made her a little surprised.

No fear, no tension.

Then, she couldn't help but cast her gaze on the giant snake wriggling around.

"Are you used to being underwater?"

"To be honest, it's impossible to adapt now."

In the end, Hewale just smiled wryly.

After all, no matter what, this was her first time entering the water, and it was still underwater in the ferocious northern sea.

More importantly, she was still terrified of such an existence as Yemengard, and the ferocious impression that she had been hearing since she was a child could not be dissipated by just a few glances here.

"It's okay, if you can move, do you see that cave over there?"

cave...

When he heard Hodder's voice, Hewale also cast his gaze in the direction he was pointing.

Although the bottom of the sea is so dark that you can't even reach out your fingers, but there, the sage has branded runes on it.

The slightly radiant radiance of the runes played the role of lighting, and there was indeed a cave in the mountain-like structure under the island.

This cave does not look like a purely natural formation. Although it seems to have been corroded and worn, traces of artificial processing can also be seen.

Cave?

No, this thing looks more like a door, but for some reason, the door itself has disappeared.

"There……"

"According to Jormungandr, he saw two 'tiny' humans swim into the ocean after falling into it."

Then, the two of them didn't stay in the ocean too long, they just swam towards the cave like this.

In the process of moving, Hewale would cast his gaze downward from time to time.

Although it was extremely dark here, and the light source made by Hodder could easily awaken the deepest fears in the hearts of land creatures, she still couldn't help being attracted by which buildings.

The ancient architectural remains under the sea seem to tell their history and experience at this moment.

Even, if she didn't have important things to do now, if she didn't know that she couldn't dive too deep in theory, she really wanted to touch those wrecks in person.

adventure?

travel?

Perhaps she has always had such thoughts in her heart.

Thinking of this, He Huale couldn't help but smile wryly.

In the end, she still completely put away these thoughts in her heart, because she knew that these were not something she could do.

She needs to be responsible for the people under her command, and she cannot do what she likes as she pleases.

"You can come back later if you like."

Then, at this moment, she heard such a sentence.

And the person who can speak here is of course the sage of Navolsong.

However, in the face of such words that sounded well-intentioned but were full of flaws, Hewale just shook his head in the end.

"I won't come back, I don't have any nostalgia for this damn sea."

It may be because Huo De's words made her feel a little bad. In the end, she didn't say a word, but just accelerated her speed, and got into the cave faster than Huo De.

All the way up along the rotting steps that had already been submerged in seawater, in the end, they fully floated up and climbed onto the shore.

"mutual……"

After smelling the icy air in the air, Howler reached out and tore off his diving necklace.

And with her movements, the shining runes on the necklace dimmed.

Then, after the sage casually hit the magical light source on the ceiling, Hewale began to carefully look at the interior scenery.

Decayed stairs, destroyed tables and chairs, and even, she saw those empty weapon racks.

"What exactly is this place?" Looking at the unnatural environment here, He Huale couldn't help asking, "Could it be...a military camp?"

"A palace, this kind of place."

Then, the sage gave an uncertain answer. After all, what he said was taken from the analysis on the forum.

"If there is no change in height, this height should overlook the buildings below."

"Did the gods ever live in this kind of place? What happened at that time?"

While looking at this as if it was the tip of the iceberg of an ancient palace, Hewale asked.

She may be asking the sage, but more like some kind of emotion.
