The Death Knell

After the name was spoken, Laufei stopped talking. While grabbing the fried chicken and throwing it into his mouth, he looked at the two short humans in front of him with interest, as if he wanted to see surprise or panic on their faces. look.

But no, Daisy had a black question mark on her face, who is Frey?

Deathstroke's expression did not change, he just looked at the fire not far away and thought calmly. Palm-sized snowflakes fell on his body, and in an instant, he seemed to be submerged into a pool of water in the night and disappeared without a trace.

"My intuition tells me that you didn't lie to me, but it's probably not the real Frey. He's dead, and he's dead."

Su Ming sighed, turned and walked towards the throne, took out a barrel of wine from his pocket, and motioned for Laufei to drink some with him:

“At the end of the Second God War, his head was chopped off by Odin, and he was crushed to pieces with Gangnir outside the gate of the City of Thousand Sails to intimidate the Vanir to surrender; his headless body was thrown under the World Tree In the cave, he was swallowed by a poisonous dragon and turned into poison; he made a deal with Surtur during the God War, and after his death, his soul was taken away and burned as firewood, turning into fire elemental energy."

Laufey nodded, but there was a look of surprise on his face. He grabbed the wine barrel like a small cup, popped the lid of the barrel with his thumb, and drank the wood slag and wine together:

"If I hadn't known about the short lifespan of Midgardians, I might have doubted whether you were with us at that time. You are right, Frey did die like this. There were a total of 100 people in the coalition forces that initially attacked the Asa Protoss. There are more than ten races and tens of millions of troops, but after the divine battle, only Malekith and I survived with some troops."

Malekith was a fast runner. When Frey died and the coalition forwards collapsed, he immediately escaped with his men.

It's just that Odin at that time was ruthless and pursued the concept of eradicating the roots. He led his people to pursue them all the way to Svartalfheim and raided the Dark Elf's lair.

The dark elves could only rely on the 'Death Warriors' to delay the God-King and allow civilians and survivors to board the spacecraft and evacuate.

In this way, they became the refugees in the universe they are today. According to Warhammer's words, their home plane became a 'death world', and Odin burned the glass with the power of runes.

Laufei survived because of his good personal strength. He retreated while fighting. With the extreme cold of Jotunheim and the deadly black blizzard, he started a guerrilla war with the Asir army that invaded here, dragging hundreds of people with him. Years later, Odin's wisdom grew until he became a Buddhist old man.

As an ancient plant god, World Tree is one of those very peaceful gods who let nature take its course. Its rules have gradually influenced Odin, causing him to slowly transform from a war-mad mode of 'plunder and conquest' to a tolerant one. The king pattern of the heart.

In the end, he just snatched Laufei's Frost Treasure Box, signed the contract, and let everyone go.

Su Ming took out the cigarettes and wine himself, and sat on the armrest of the blue Ice Throne: "Since you know this, why must the person meeting you be Frey?"

"I didn't believe it at first. After all, it goes against common sense for a person whose soul has disappeared to reappear." Laufei threw the empty barrel into the bonfire, and the sparks suddenly rose up. He looked at the flames. As the remaining wine burned, he said: "Maybe the appearance, smell, and strength can be hidden from me, but other than these, he still remembers everything in the past, including the secret agreement we made to send troops together. The Ice Demon God swears that the contents will never be leaked."

Su Ming exhaled slowly. If the devil was used as a witness, the price would be too high if he wanted to violate it.

In other words, Laufei did see a guy who could never be resurrected, and he was resurrected and came here...

"Okay, I believe you, he taught you how to make a fire here, so what did you trade to him?"

The Ice King stuffed a chicken into his mouth again and chewed the bones loudly: "He asked me for a way not to be harmed by the energy flames of the World Tree, and for me to help him keep something."

"Is there a way to be immune to special flames?" Su Ming nodded. He took out a barrel of wine again and handed it to Laufei: "So this is the method he used to avoid being burned by the special flames when he climbed into the chimney."

The firewood burning in the four fireplaces in Odin's Sleep is not ordinary wood. If he simply warms himself to sleep, where can Odin not sleep?

He is the king of Asgard. He can sleep in the dining room of the Golden Palace, on the throne, in the back garden, or in his own palace near the Hall of Valor.

No one has ever thought about why he sleeps in Odin's Sleep, or some people have thought about it, but they dare not ask.

Odin's Sleep is an artifact as a whole. From the enclosed octagonal cylindrical box space to the wooden longship inside, they are actually artifacts.

The longship used as a bed was made from part of the root of the World Tree. According to legend, after Odin died, the ship would automatically sail to the higher dimensions of nothingness, absorb the concepts of the withered World Tree, and become a new one. The tree starts the next cycle again.

The four fireplaces are also artifacts. By burning the dead branches of the World Tree in them, they can replenish energy for the sleeping Odin, thus extending his life and allowing him to survive until the arrival of the 'Winter of the Wolf'.

Decades ago, Su Ming squeezed onto the small boat to lie side by side with Odin and snatched his animal skin quilt cover. This was actually a test to obtain information.

He still remembered that the body of the old man next to him was as cold as a dead person, but it was hot under the quilt.

There were no windows in the broken house, and the door was closed all year round. Once inside, it was like entering a dry sauna. Odin had been absorbing heat radiation from all directions.

This is where the doubt lies, where does the Yggdrasil energy that radiates in the room as heat go?

Energy cannot be born out of thin air, nor can it disappear out of thin air. The only explanation is that the energy released after the burning of dead branches was absorbed by the God King.

The reborn Frey, or something that looks like Frey, has no way to absorb or exempt from the energy flames burning in these fireplaces, so he comes here and asks Laufey, who is best at cooling down, how to sneak into Odin's Sleep through the chimney. .

Although the Ice King does not have magic, as a mythical race, the Frost Giants have spell-like abilities, and fighting against fire is exactly what Frost is good at.

"This is what he left here and asked me to keep for him." The Ice King dug under the throne behind him and took out a black box. It looked like a box in his hand, but for Su Ming, In terms of size, this thing looks like a coffin.

"Give it to me too?" Su Ming took the coffin and carried it on his shoulder, opening the lid with his other hand.

Inside the big box is a complex technological instrument, which should be a device used to receive signals across planes at long distances. In other words, it is the same set of bugs that were discovered before.

The sending end is very ordinary, but the technological content is all on the receiving end...

"Anyway, I have betrayed my old friend, so in order to prevent him from coming back to settle accounts with me, of course I have to sell him more thoroughly." The corner of Laufei's mouth showed an imperceptible arc, which was a veritable sneer in the ice and snow: "Although I’m not sure whether he came back from the dead or is a fake, but I think killing him for my new friends would be the best choice.”

Deathstroke let Strangler eat the instrument coffin, jumped off the armrest of the throne, and clapped his hands:

"There is a saying on Earth that if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Choose wisely, and maybe we will have more cooperation in the future."
