Chapter 1392 The Fountain of Urd and the Troll in One
Chapter 1392 The Fountain of Urd and the Troll (two in one)
The Winter of Finbul has arrived, and even Asgard has been affected.
The villages outside the city walls that were not protected by the power of the Asgardian gods were constantly attacked by a large number of wild beasts, and infectious diseases and pests that had never been seen before were spreading in the fields. The Golden Palace sent Thor, the God of Thunder, to lead a scientific research team to collect materials in the countryside.
Samples were collected and hunted for wild beasts hidden in the mountains, and samples of infected crops were escorted back to the city walls for research and analysis. This has been a common practice for many years. Under normal circumstances, there will not be too many problems. Relying on everyone in the Golden Palace.
With the ability of Lijia Maid, most of the crop infectious diseases in the universe can be solved through the development of targeted drugs, the release of antagonistic viruses or genetic modification and other technological and witchcraft means. Even disasters that are difficult for ordinary people to fight can also make Thor manifest himself.
force.
However, this time, Thor, the god of thunder, met the largest wild boar he had ever encountered in his life.
It was a terrifying beast. It was very old, so old that its fur faded to gray-white, mixed with short hairs of dried soil. The brown fur common to ordinary wild boars on its tall back did not appear on this beast, but instead appeared on it.
The sunlight overflowed with a golden color that was like sunlight. But the golden color was fleeting. Thor, the God of Thunder, could only see the dirty gray-white fur, and the terrifying upward curled tusks of the wild boar were all yellow, and they were as tall as a man.
Bone spurs as sharp as sickles are stained with rotten black spots, and the beast's smelly breath can be blown from one end of the field to the other, blowing mud specks, wheat ears, and insects all into the sky, like a strong wind blowing in a low-lying area.
.
"Gullinbursti?"
Thor tentatively called out a name, because he saw the wild boar's fur briefly glowing golden in the sun, and next to the huge hooves, the entire field of mature winter wheat was stained with terrible black spots and rot. Thor's
The cry received no response. The giant beast's eyes were covered with white clouds, and its rash-covered ears were filled with flies and maggots. He was not sure whether this wild boar belonged to Frey, the god of fertility, even if it was
The wild boar was Gullinbursti, who also had to defeat this sickly beast to prevent the spread of the food-destroying disease.
When he dragged the dead beast back to the city wall, poems praising Thor, the God of Thunder, were circulated in the tavern again. But this time Thor was not interested in going to the tavern to listen to the bards bragging about their achievements, and to listen to those who had never seen a battle scene.
A man boasted about how he had defeated "a wild boar as high as a mountain" and "destroyed rivers and mountain peaks." He thought he needed to confirm whether the wild boar was the ancient Grimbosty of Frey.
Thor knows that his relationship with Frey is not close, but if Asgard loses Frey, it means that Asgard's crop production will be severely damaged, and its dependence on colonies outside the Nine Realms will be severe.
will increase, and the colonial rebellion caused by the forced expropriation of food will be more severe - the relationship between this was clearly explained to him by the wise men in the court, otherwise he would never have been able to understand such a complicated relationship in his life - he
Thinking that he now needs wisdom from his father, he must seek help from others.
He first went to see Sif, but got the news that Sif was seriously ill. One of Frigga's maids, the goddess El who was in charge of the medical hospital, was also helpless about Sif's condition. Then he went to see Frigga's
Another maid, Val, who is known as smart. This goddess is wise and good at observation. It is said that nothing can escape her eyes. After the goddess Val saw the wild boar he hunted, she found Frigga again.
Helene, another maid. The name of this maid means "Guardian". She will protect those whom Frigga wants to protect. Similarly, some people call people who receive warnings before disaster strikes "Helene".
”.
"Go to the Fountain of Urd to find the three Norn goddesses. Even your father will listen to their advice." After observing the corpse of the sick beast, the goddess Vaal gave her own answer, "The Fountain of Urd.
The youngest poem Cody next to it will tell you the answer. You have to be careful about her, she controls the future and it is very bad. The threads of fate spun by the three Norn goddesses following Wyrd (destiny in Germanic mythology) are always torn by her.
Shattered, because the future is not static and may even contradict itself. You must be careful to discern the answers she gives you."
The three Norn goddesses repeatedly warned that the winter of Finbul has arrived, but the three crazy prophets have been telling this warning for more than a thousand years, and no one will pay attention to the warnings they gave. Thor came to the World Tree and took root deeply.
He was here, with a face full of embarrassment, because in the past he was one of the people who loudly promoted the alarmism of the three Norn goddesses. Just as the goddess Val said, Shikodi did not welcome his arrival. "I have already told you,
The winter of Fimbul has come, and Ragnarok is approaching." She did not look at Thor, but stared into the void. The starlight reflected by the Fountain of Urd reflected on her veil, and her destiny was written all over it.
Rune threads lay scattered at her feet. "I told you, son of Odin."
"Your father did not listen to our advice." Verdante, who looks mature and very feminine, said. What she saw was the present. "So you came to us."
"Because you have been deceived again." The aging Urd shook his head, "You are always deceived, son of Odin."
"What should I do?" Sol asked.
"Go into the spring." Shikodi spoke again. Her voice was as ethereal as ever, as if she was not talking to Thor, but a ghost lost in time. "The dead will tell you all the secrets."
Shikoti, "You have soaked in the Fountain of Urd, and the spring water will allow you to see the unexpected dead."
"The order of her words does not follow the time." Verdante looked at Sol, "But what she said is not wrong. You need to soak in the spring water."
The halberd's blade accurately cut open the giant creature's throat, and blood as dark as crude oil spilled out.
Hammurabi firmly grasped the monster's skull with one hand, and grasped the front end of the garrison spear handle with the other hand, using this exclusive weapon as a machete. He did not activate the decomposition field, but
He relied on the single-molecule metal blade to slash repeatedly until the thick spine split open, and bone residue and blood flew everywhere. It was not until he tore off the body of the weird head that was still howling that he turned the weapon and turned the target towards the other giant behind him.
Demon, then pulled the trigger and fired a cannonball.
Trolls, or trolls, are stupid-looking creatures.
They are huge in size, have thick limbs, and their brain capacity is completely insufficient to support them in advanced thinking activities. Even so, they still have cunning and instincts that are inconsistent with their appearance. Trolls have five fingers similar to humans, but their claws and teeth are
It is very sharp and can easily tear open the skin of animals and break strong bones. They are keen to hunt at night and stay in caves to avoid the sun during the day. However, as the sunshine in Scandinavia gradually decreases, these giants
The devil has ushered in a long period of activity, and there is no need to worry about being exposed to the sun and becoming stiff.
There used to be some trolls living on the earth in the past, but as time went by, the troll race had long been extinct in the dust of time, leaving only the scaly claws in the Viking legends. Now these trolls pass through the gap between dimensions.
From the other channel came hordes, hungry for anything to eat, as if something was chasing them.
This creature, which is close to the height of the Royal Guards, has extremely tenacious vitality. Even the Royal Guards suffered a little loss when they first faced them. Even Amon's shirt was corroded by the foul-smelling acidic saliva spat out by a troll.
But fortunately, the power provided by the power armor and biological alchemy far exceeded the force that the troll's hateful body could provide. The guards quickly adjusted their posture and began to slaughter the trolls who entered the planet. Explosive bombs
It is still too powerful for this kind of creature. High-density muscles and bones do not make trolls immune to these armored warheads that can explode metal armor. Their flesh and blood still appear extremely fragile when the warheads explode, just like being hunted by them.
Like wild deer and brown bears.
Although the main function of the Praetorian Guards is not combat, powerful force is an indispensable ability for them to achieve their goals. As long as they are willing, no one on this planet can surpass them in the art of killing. Their fighting
There were no unnecessary movements. "Precision" and "efficiency" are the best adjectives to describe their fighting style - only half an hour later, the Imperial Guards and the Emperor, who had just massacred a small tribe of trolls, were followed by
The strange and shallow footprints in the snow followed the pattern and arrived at the reality passage that Odin said connected Nilfheim and Midgard.
On more than one occasion, the emperor and the imperial guards found the bones of wild animals that had been chewed into pieces in the snow. The internal organs, fur and flesh were all missing. Through the calculation of the bones and the emperor's estimate of the minimum food intake of the troll species,
, Amon estimated the number of trolls that came to the earth. Now it is time to verify the calculation results. This cave can fully accommodate them. Although they have not yet entered the cave entrance, everyone can smell the trolls.
Due to the stench on their bodies, the emperor and the imperial guards even saw the troll's blanket made of animal fur, and the fat under the fur had not even been scraped off. Perhaps this is why the troll's skin is always so greasy.
Without knowing the intensity of the battle they were about to face, the Imperial Guards planned to resolve their inner doubts first.
"My lord, should superstitions such as the Finbul Winter, which only exist in myths and stories, also be taken into account?" Hammurabi asked, "The cause of the current extreme climate is entirely due to Scandinavia.
It is caused by volcanic ash blocking the sunlight, and it is an unfounded inference to connect it with the end of the Asgardians."
"Finbulwinter is a general term for doomsday phenomena. On different planets, Finbulwinter has different manifestations."
The emperor seemed happy that Hammurabi could raise objections, and he remained patient enough to answer the Praetorian Guards' questions. He pointed to the clouds and mist accumulated on the distant peaks. "According to our measurements, the solid content of that cloud layer is far more than
Normal values, which indicates that there is a lot of volcanic ash in the clouds. Just melt the snow under our feet and you can also see a lot of solid particles, which is the impact of Quetzalcoatl."
Amon was puzzled by this.
"The extreme climate caused by volcanic ash blocking the sun is a ritual, because the cold and hunger experienced by the lost souls of this disaster will become the prelude to Ragnarok. In the world of outer dimensions, all actions and phenomena have meaning, as long as someone believes
Then the ritual can become a reality. The prophecies of Fimbulwinter and Ragnarok have been circulating since the founding of Asgard. Remember how I described this phenomenon in my book "The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy"? Of course we
We will not be limited to self-fulfilling prophecies in psychology, but we must broaden our horizons and look further, studying the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecies in groups and even societies.”
The emperor's killing efficiency was very high, but he still maintained a casual attitude, using the golden spear in his hand to pierce the troll who tried to attack him. The fat abdomen was cut open like parchment, and the foul-smelling internal organs were smashed on the cold rock.
On the top, the female troll fell down wailing, trying to use her last strength to bite the emperor's boots with her yellowed fangs. However, before it could do so, Amon crushed its jaw, along with it.
The troll cubs who tried to jump off their backs and escaped were also trampled to death.
These trolls who came to the earth were trapped in the cave by Odin's killing. Although the father of the gods was old and frail, his spells became more powerful. An ordinary ax paired with runes can
Cutting through the slimy and thick skin of the trolls and chipping away at the thick bones - although those monsters did not know who was killing them, Odin's bloodthirsty still greatly frightened them, so the emperor thought that Odin had another
There is a plan, the old guy doesn't need help at all, these monsters are the prey. It can even be said that these trolls are not the point. Odin doesn't care whether these trolls will attack nearby human settlements, he just wants to guide the emperor
Just go into that passage.
The emperor thought he had seen through Odin's trick, and he did not intend to just walk in and be fooled. As the Ragnarok approaches, Odin, who used to want to decorate himself with honors and titles, will inevitably let go of more hypocrisy.
The bottom line is that the Father of the Gods himself is a cruel, bloodthirsty, and cunning ruler. It is impossible for him to care about the future Lord of Kama Taj and the Lord of Humanity on a whim, especially after giving away so many gifts.

"Asgard's Twilight of the Gods will be your next topic. This topic in the Obsidian Tower will be on your desk as a frequent visitor. We will explore the success and failure of the Aesir Protoss to avoid us in guiding
The human race has reached the same end." The emperor looked at Hammurabi, "Asgard has made many decisions for us, and they have also paid the price for mankind. We only need to learn lessons and let
We will get through the most difficult time ahead."
