Sun Ran quickly lowered his head, saluted again, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I don't understand what dangers there will be after entering the Valley of the Dead. Besides, I haven't encountered any danger?".
But in my heart, I just rolled my eyes: 'Why are you so serious and bluffing? It's just a virtual game, do you really think of yourself as a god?'
The little fairy possessed by the goddess Frigga did not know what Sun Ran was thinking, and continued: "I know what you are thinking. You think your magic can easily deal with Deco and Edwin, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly what happened." Sun Ran nodded. The other party took the initiative to make excuses for him, but he was naturally disrespectful.
'Haha~' Frigga looked at the young man's appearance and felt that this man looked calm and composed, but in fact he was very, very proud inside. However, she also understood that this was not the kind of arrogance without any basis, but a kind of arrogance.
A kind of restrained and intelligent pride, a kind of extreme confidence in one's own power.
Just like at Attenborough College before, if you don't sing, you will be fine, but if you sing, it will shock the world.
In fact, Frigga admired this quality very much. She felt that she was facing an exquisite and perfect treasure. She thought of Odin's words again: 'This Russell, don't lose your temper with him when you go back. Treat him tolerantly and let him
He recognized the beauty of the Asaphite pantheon.'
Thinking of this, she felt that it was bad for her to be in a bad mood, so she softened her serious face and flew over Sun Ran's head again. She said softly: "Okay, okay, little guy, don't lose your temper. Go back."
Let’s talk as we walk.”
After all, the other party was a goddess. Sun Ran agreed and started walking away from the Valley of the Dead.
Frigga sat on top of Sun Ran's head and began to talk: "Do you know why I want to prevent you from entering the Valley of the Dead?"
"It's too dangerous inside." Sun Ran said.
"Yes, it's very dangerous inside. The Valley of the Dead, as the name suggests, is a camp of the Dark Legion." Frigga said.
"But they are not very powerful." Sun Ran said.
"Yes. Not powerful. The most powerful among them is the demon lord Freita, and maybe Deco who has turned into a lich, but they are not your opponent. But you know why, in Youyu Forest,
In the midst of a vibrant forest, can such a lifeless valley continue to exist?" Frigga felt that she should tell him part of the truth about the world, so that he could feel more awe.
Sun Ran naturally understood that the reason why Frigga stopped him was nothing more than the battle between the gods, but he just pretended that he didn't know and only said what he should know as a player: "Is it the power of Hades, the god of the underworld?
"
Hades, the god of the underworld and the great god of darkness, is said to be the brother of Zeus, the king of Olympus, and is very powerful. After Sun Ran got the new staff from the green dragon's lair, he even knew that Hades already had it.
Eternal godhead.
The two of them had already entered the dense forest. Frigga gently brushed aside a thorn vine in front of her and said with a smile: "You are very smart. Two years of study have given you profound knowledge. You guessed it.
Yes, it is indeed because of him."
"Why? Don't the gods easily not interfere with the mortal world? Many gods' altars were damaged in wars, and no gods were seen descending from the heaven." Sun Ran asked cooperatively.
"That was before. In the future, troubled times are coming, and wars between gods are inevitable. Do you know? Today, God King Odin and Hades almost fought because of you." Frigga threatened.
"Me?" Sun Ran looked surprised. But he was thinking about the words 'the troubled times are coming' in his heart. After contacting the clues found by Zhao Shan, he vaguely made his own inference about the game company's strategy.
'It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Game companies probably use this method to select talents and build teams. If I want to break the situation, I have to join in troubled times. Only by participating in it can I stir up the overall situation at a critical moment.' Sun Ran thought to himself and made a decision.
future plans.
Frigga was completely unaware that her casual words had added a terrifying opponent to the world of gods. She was still patiently explaining Sun Ran's doubts.
"Yes. You have a talent that can be envied by everyone. It is like a peerless treasure that everyone wants to possess. If he cannot possess it, it will be destroyed. If he discovers you, he will definitely find ways to transform you into an undead lich.
, become his slave and be enslaved by him. Are you willing to do that?"
Sun Ran shook his head: "No, then I would rather die completely."
"Yes. That's right. Hades has violated the natural law of the cycle of life and death, and he will be punished sooner or later. Think about it, a lich has no body, no consciousness, his whole body is cold, covered with carrion, and exudes an indescribable smell.
All the beautiful things in the world are insulated from the stench that we endure. This is simply the filthiest, most evil, and most shameless existence in the world!"
Frigga waved her hands and expressed her views on lichs excitedly, with a look of indignation on her face. This was not a lie, but her true thoughts. She hated all undead because it was in line with her aesthetics.
Totally the opposite.
Sun Ran asked again: "If that's the case, then you are helping me but also want to enslave me?"
Frigga was stunned and asked: "Russell, how could you have such an idea?"
"A famous philosopher said that there is no free effort in this world. During these times, I can clearly feel your care. This is not normal!" Sun Ran spoke according to the tone of the player, and at the same time he was testing the goddess.
The limit of tolerance for him.
A high level of tolerance means that the more he is valued by the other party, the more freely he will act in the future.
Frigga felt like she had a headache. Persuading a wise and rational mage to believe in gods was the most unreliable thing in the world.
And what the little guy said was the truth, and there was no way to refute it. After being silent for a while, she sighed and came up with an idea: "Little guy, in this world, when the saplings are growing, there is always a need for big trees."
It protects him from wind and rain, doesn’t it?”
"wrong!"
"What's wrong again?" Frigga felt more and more headache. This little guy was too serious and was not easy to fool.
"Saplings need sunlight and water, and need to go through storms and hardships before they can become real towering trees!" Sun Ran denied again.
"Little guy, your faith doesn't seem to be very firm. Are you doubting me and the God you believe in?"
Frigga felt that this little guy's thoughts were very dangerous. This was a common problem among smart people. The smarter the people, the weaker their faith because they all had their own independent thoughts.
"Because I can't find the essential difference between you and Hades, the god of Hades. All the differences are just superficial." Sun Ran continued to express his thoughts with a serious look on his face, as if he was arguing with someone.
, without any regard for the majesty of the gods.
Fortunately, Frigga is a good-tempered goddess, she is considerate, and when she saw the boy's serious appearance, instead of finding it disgusting, she felt a bit cute about his stubbornness.
She gently advised: "Russell, when studying magic, it is a good habit to get to the bottom of it. But when facing the gods, it is best to be confused and not to be sharp, because this may put you in a dangerous situation. You...
…Do you understand?”
Not every god has such a good temper. In the virtual world, after mastering infinite power, gods will show their true nature. The good ones will be better, and the evil ones will be extremely evil.
Some gods cannot tolerate any provocation, such as Zeus. A level of questioning like today is enough to make him furious, and then he will issue all kinds of terrible divine punishments.
Just like what he once did to Prometheus, making him keep pushing the stone up the mountain, pushing it up and rolling down again, continuously and endlessly, is a complete physical and psychological torture.
When she said such heart-to-heart words, Sun Ran almost understood her own importance and had a good impression of the goddess: "She has a good temper. If it had been Zhao Shan, she would have been impatient by now. Thunder and lightning."
You may not get away with it, but you will definitely not be able to escape this little torture.'
So he softened his attitude and said piously: "Thank you to the goddess for your teachings, I will remember them."
"Well, that's good." Frigga flapped her wings, flew down from Sun Ran's head, and hovered next to his face. Suddenly she gently probed her head, kissed him on the cheek, and then said with a smile:
"You see, this is the difference between me and Hades. In that old man's place, all you can find is rudeness, darkness, and a lot of stinking bones. You will never experience the beauty of this world.
"
Sun Ran immediately mobilized his energy and blood, making his already slightly pale face turn slightly red, showing the shy look that a young man should have, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Frigga laughed, feeling very happy: "Well, it's really cute. Although this Russell is very mature in some ideas and his magic level is obviously beyond his peers, in essence, he is still an unexperienced little boy. He is really a
Little cutie.'
She smiled and waved goodbye: "So, goodbye, cute little guy. Remember, keep walking along the path of the mage, and I will always watch you in the sky."
"Remember the goddess's teachings."
She flew around and returned to Sun Ran's head. Then Sun Ran saw the golden light disappear and Frigga was gone.
After a while, Lulu's voice came down, a little confused: "Big man, how long have we been walking?"
"Not long, only half an hour."
"Have you communicated with the Mother Goddess?"
"Um."
"Oh, you are so happy." Lulu looked envious. Sun Ran didn't say much, just smiled.
In the next time, Sun Ran rushed back to Attenborough College.
A few days later, he arrived at the outskirts of the academy. After saying goodbye to Lulu who was reluctant to leave, Sun Ran walked into the hidden barrier of the academy.
The inside of the college has been cleaned up long ago, and from the outside, it has generally returned to its previous calm appearance.
As soon as Sun Ran appeared, a lawn repairman who was busy on the green field was stunned. Then he threw away the big scissors in his hand and ran towards the college castle. As he ran, he shouted: "Russell is back, Russell is back!"
