The Death Knell

One thing that Sif and Frigg have in common is that they basically give up thinking immediately when they hear something that concerns Thor.

Although Thor is not Frigga's biological child, the Queen treats the sons of Odin equally. No matter who is in trouble, she will be anxious and anxious. She can't see the composure and virtuousness of the past at all, and is no different from an ordinary mother.

As for Sif, she has an unrequited love for Thor, and she will not object to anything he says; she will help him realize whatever he wants, which is very humble.

It's a pity that Thor doesn't have that kind of interest in her. The two grew up together and were so familiar that they didn't feel anything at all.

"Warrior carrying the barkless tree trunk, please escort us and set off as soon as possible." The Queen of Heaven eagerly requested the strange warrior, but the doubt in her eyes just flashed: "You look a little unfamiliar. , can you tell us your last name?

The tall and strong warrior showed an expression of realization. He patted his chest honestly and introduced himself loudly:

"People call me 'Giant Tree' Daksu! Queen of Heaven, please come here with me!"

Frigga, who followed the footsteps of the warriors, glanced at Thor from a distance. On the golden city wall, his small position was like a small boat in a tsunami. It was submerged by the waves for a while, and then emerged from the sea again.

The enemy is the sea, and the situation of the two sons is like a lonely boat.

The Queen of Heaven left the shield maidens to hold the line, and she and Sif retreated from the chaotic battlefield. Her ears were buzzing, and she had to shout loudly when speaking, and various threats flew from time to time in the sky.

What fell before was black snow, but now it's the volcanic ash brought by Surtur. These filthy things with residual warmth make people's scalp itchy and upset.

However, in the process of leaving, the man nicknamed Jumu showed his superb martial arts skills despite his rough appearance. Whether it was missiles flying in the sky or plasma balls falling in a parabola, he was able to carry them on his shoulders. The oversized wooden stick flew away, and Sif and Frigga just had to ride their horses and run forward with their heads down.

Flying missiles is still within the realm of understanding. After all, that kind of weapon has a solid entity. But the plasma ball is just a burst of energy, how can it be simply hit back with a swing of a stick? This is Frigga and Sif’s knowledge blind spot.

But every warrior has his or her own special skills, maybe they are secret skills passed down from ancestors, and now is not the time to think about those things.

.............................

The three of them now need to rush to ‘Lagehir’ on the other side of the Golden Palace.

Raghir means "forest" in runes. That area is actually the royal garden in the Golden Palace. Unlike the "Eternal Hunting Ground" which is full of wild beasts, there are only some rabbits and white deer here. , small sparrows and other cute animals for people to watch.

The Golden Palace is the capital of Asgard. It covers a large area and is the collective name for a group of palaces. Odin, who has a great family and a great business, has three palaces in total.

The first place is Gimli, not the Gimli in "Lord of the Rings". This palace with the same name is also called the Palace of the Sun. People who have watched Marvel movies should have seen it. It is the round circle behind the Golden Palace. A tall tower-shaped building.

The God-King would meditate, watch stars, study, and chat with crows there. If we use the template of the Forbidden City, it would be equivalent to the Royal Study Room.

The second place is his and Frigga's wedding room 'Finsalir', also called the Palace of Sea Mist, because Frigga is a Warner god and likes the sea. After marrying, Odin wanted to show his love for her and his love for her. The Warner Protoss paid great attention to it and built this magnificent palace on the high mountain cliff near the coastline of the Golden Palace.

But then only Frigga lived by herself. Odin may have been a little incompetent in that regard as he got older, and he was suffering from old injuries. Most of the time, he lay alone in the longship of 'Odin's Sleep'. Continue your life.

The third place is the most famous Valhalla, known as the Hall of Valor, and it is also the palace where Odin worked the most.

It is located in the center of the picturesque Raghir. It has a total of 540 gates. Each gate is wide and can accommodate 800 warriors side by side. There is a wild boar head hanging above the main gate, and there is also a wild boar that often comes to eat the pig head. eagle as a distinction.

Although there are so many doors, the power of the runes will ensure that unauthorized people can never enter this glorious palace, and similarly, the heroic spirits inside cannot get out.

However, as a former Valkyrie, Gin used to be able to enter and leave this palace freely. She told Deathstroke what it was like inside during their chat.

The interior of the palace is a folded space, like a 'kou'-shaped tube building that extends infinitely upward. There are hundreds of millions of guest rooms above the second floor for the heroic spirits to live in.

All the walls were lined with polished spears, and all the roofs were paved with golden shields, so that with just a torch or a small fire pit, the entire palace would be illuminated by reflections.

Magic ensures that the outside scenery is the same after every window is opened. Guests can see the sea, mountains, sky, Rainbow Bridge, World Tree, and enjoy the same birds and flowers as Odin saw.

In the lobby on the first floor, there is a seemingly endless long table as you enter the door. The banquet includes delicious wild boar meat and fragrant goat's milk honey wine.

Wild boar is the meat of the sacred pig Sahrimnir. It is cut off by Andhrimnir, the cook of the temple, and cooked in a cauldron every day. This sacred pig will be resurrected every day. And he was covered in fat.

Goat milk mead is continuously squeezed out by a magical sheep Heidrun to supply the needs of the heroic warriors.

The backrests of the chairs at the table were covered with exquisite armor, and next to the chairs were brand-new axes or swords and shields, which were gifts from Odin to his guests.

The so-called heroic spirits are the souls of the dead brought in by the Valkyrie. Their weapons during life were also discarded like their dead bodies. Entering the Hall of Valor and obtaining new weapons and armor means that you can start accumulating glory again.

The selection criteria for Heroic Spirits are not particularly strict. They can be the Aesir Protoss, the Warner Protoss, Earthlings, or even Light Elves or Dwarves.

As long as you fight bravely, have a heart of honor, die unexpectedly on the battlefield, and can be chosen by Odin and the Valkyries, then you are eligible to enter here.

These heroic spirits have physical bodies maintained by magic power, which are very special and are equivalent to immortality in disguise. This place can almost be regarded as another small society independent of the fairy palace system.

They have enough to eat and drink every day but cannot leave, so their entertainment activity is to fight with each other and constantly practice their fighting skills. Anyway, they can be resurrected indefinitely if they are killed in the Hall of Valor, so they can enjoy the joy of fighting as much as they want.

There were endless fights, being able to drink from vats of wine and eat meat every day. This was the paradise that Odin dreamed of when he was young. He used to wrestle with the heroic spirits here all day long.

Of course, later on, when my health failed, I still slept in Odin's Sleep to survive, and I didn't come here much.

The only living creature currently living in the Hall of Valor is the magical rooster named Gullinkambi. In the prophecy, this rooster never crows, but once it crows, it means Ragnarok has arrived, and the last day The battle is about to begin, and the heroic warriors should be fully armed immediately, waiting for the call of the horn.

The situation at this time was like this. The Queen and other three people had just arrived at the edge of the woods and saw the dome of the Hall of Heroes, but they had already heard the crow of the cock in the middle of the night under the dim sky.
