The Death Knell

Badr and Hela's trip to the Nordic island came to nothing.

The warriors who originally held funerals around the bonfire are no longer there, leaving only broken barrels and cups, body parts such as ears and teeth that some people lost, and the smoking fire. ember.

The one-eyed God of Light squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the warmth beside the bonfire, and spoke to his sister who was blowing the sea breeze:

"They had been gone for a while, and a large number of dense footprints were spreading towards the Rainbow Bridge on the seaside. Almost everyone was walking very fast. It was because of some emergency that the funeral ceremony was interrupted. You see, none of the knocked-out teeth were taken away. , originally you could wear a necklace as an amulet.”

In just ten seconds, Balder made a judgment. Asgard warriors are often very good hunters. Whether they are chasing wild beasts in dense forests or tracking frost giants in snowfields, these are necessary for them to grow up. A classic lesson.

The army of the Immortal Palace is like this. There is no centralized training or arrangements such as queuing up for exercises. After all, the society itself has a martial culture. Everyone will consciously hone their martial arts according to tradition and fight with various prey. Master the purest enemy-killing skills between life and death.

Generally no one collects torn off ears and gouged out eyes because they are inedible.

But the Asgardians like to collect teeth as trophies, because no matter what animal, teeth are the most basic weapons. They believe that wearing the teeth of their prey is equivalent to carrying the opponent's glory and courage.

Hela still looked expressionless. When she heard her brother's words, she just nodded calmly: "I don't know what happened. Although I attended the funeral, no one was willing to fight with me, so I left to find you. .”

Bader smiled and praised him heartily: "That's because your bravery makes the fight lose the suspense. There is no need to fight when the result is already known. That is unwise, or in other words, the wine has not been drunk enough. .”

"Maybe, I thought it was because I wasn't welcome." Hela confused, then turned and walked towards the shore: "They left through the Rainbow Bridge and must have returned to Asgard. I'm also curious about what happened. Something happened."

The God of Light followed my sister's footsteps, and the sea water brought the slightly fishy and sweet smell from the distance. The sound of the waves entered my ears rhythmically, making people feel calm.

He took a deep breath, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face:

"I haven't done this in a long time, let me do it...Heimdall!"

The so-called things I haven't done in a long time, of course, don't refer to drinking or sleeping with women, but to calling the Rainbow Bridge for teleportation.

Baldr raised his fists, which were his weapons, and showed glory to the sky to prove his identity.

quiet......

His shouts echoed on the sea, but were quickly drowned out by the waves, as if nothing had happened.

Not to mention the Rainbow Bridge splitting space and descending in front of us, now even the clouds in the sky did not move, they were still moving slowly in the sky like lazy sheep.

"Well, maybe I've been dead for too many years and Heimdall doesn't recognize me anymore?" Bader slowly put down his fist, touched the back of his head and found a step. He said to Hela: "How about Come and give it a try?"

"I can't. I'm a person who was exiled by Odin. It's OK to inquire about the Asgard from time to time, but I can't go in and out of there at will."

God King Hela opened his eyes and told lies, with no expression on his face:

"Especially at this time, Odin has just died. If I appear in the Golden Palace, many people's minds will be confused. Therefore, I will just send you back, and I will return to the underworld myself. Don't mention me to anyone. "

But she was also a little curious. Logically speaking, Heimdall had no reason not to open the door.

What are the eternally awakening guards of the Immortal Palace? It's because he never rests. He just stands on the bridge every day and looks at the nine realms with his eyes. If someone leaves the Immortal Palace to go out to do business, he will always keep his ears open and listen, and when he hears the call, he will drive the rainbow. Bridge should.

Balder sighed and nodded in understanding.

He didn't know the reason why Hela was exiled back then. Even before he died, he didn't know that he had such a sister. After his death, he fell into the underworld and it was the first time the two parties met.

When he was still alive, no one in Asgard would mention Hela, as if there was some taboo.

"I understand, I have wronged you, sister. After I teach Loki a lesson, I will find a way for you to return to Asgard and live happily with everyone."

"Then I thank you in advance." Hela seemed to be smiling, and her cold tone did not feel sincere: "I will try my magic to see if I can teleport into Asgard. After all, the Golden Palace The space defense barrier is not always open."

With that said, Hela raised her hand to draw in the air, first with her bare hands, then with black stone spikes, and then she simply took out the Sword of the Night Sky.

However, just like calling the Rainbow Bridge to no avail, her space teleportation magic also failed.

"It's strange that I can't lock the position of the World Tree?" Hades looked solemn, and pinched his sharp chin with his jade fingers painted with black nail polish: "I have never encountered such a situation, it's like space They are all rejecting me..."

Looking at the calm sea and listening to the sound of waves, Balder frowned.

Although he is a warrior, he is not very familiar with magic, and he has not inherited Frigga's magic talent at all, but his magic resistance is very good.

But after all, after living in the Immortal Palace for so long, I still know some relevant things.

The Asa Protoss and the Warner Protoss rely heavily on the World Tree for their magic and technology. The former borrows energy, while the latter relies on the wisdom brought by runes.

The World Tree Yggdrasil is like a beacon of civilization, marking the location of Asgard in the dark universe, guiding the Asgard warriors to return home, without exception.

"Maybe something happened, sister, can you still return to the underworld?"

Badr looked at the sky seriously, as if he could see through the earth's atmosphere and see his hometown.

Hela tried it, and this time the portal opened smoothly, and the green world also showed its face to the two of them at the other end of the portal.

"Fortunately, the existence of the underworld is different. It is still possible to teleport into my home in hell." Hela put down her hand and raised her chin proudly: "It's just that I remember that you don't seem to like the underworld very much. Why this time?" Are you asking to go?"

Badr showed a smile full of wisdom, and he strode towards the portal with two fists in his hands:

"We don't have a flying boat, and the method of magical teleportation has also failed, but I still have a stupid way, which is to reach the underworld first, and then find a way to climb up along the trunk of the World Tree. People say that fallen leaves return to their roots, and this time, I Go against the wind."

After saying that, his majestic figure like a hero disappeared. Hela turned her head and glanced behind her, then followed and closed the portal.

After the two left, the air in the direction where Hela had just been looking twisted, and Deathstroke's black and yellow armor suddenly appeared.

He touched the magic floating cloak that provided invisibility:

"Look, you usually eat too much and gain weight, right? You were actually discovered by Hela after using invisibility magic. This week, your midnight snack is gone."

The cloak was wrapped around Deathstroke's arm, and he was pulling it back and forth like a baby, which probably meant that his mistake was because he was hungry, and textiles would not make him fat.

"I really can't do anything about you. It's not impossible to let you eat midnight snacks, but the quantity must be halved." Su Ming shook his head, silently counting the time in his heart, and took out his cigarette and took a few puffs before raising his head: "Sepul Gram, teleport me into the underworld of Helm.”
