If Nangong Wuyue hadn't reminded him like this, Hao Ren would have really forgotten about this incident.
In fact, it's not that he knows nothing about Nordic mythology. In fact, he does know the connection between Mimir and Yggdrasil in the original mythology. But since he came into contact with the real products of Nordic mythology, his knowledge has gradually changed.
It gets blurry: the wise giant Mimir has become the guardian race of the Dream Plane, Yggdrasil's true identity is actually the eldest son, and even the daughter of Loki and the god of death Hela is just a lonely and gloomy woman.
, so he gradually forgot the settings in the fairy tale.
At that moment, he contacted Mimir who was watching the scene in the Athens Sanctuary.
Since the aliens are busy forming a new regulatory agency, the "Shadow Council", and need to understand many truths behind the witchers, Mimir, a special individual who is both an ancient alien and an advisor to the witchers, has become the protector of Athens.
The important figure in the shelter. The old giant is now deeply trusted by the shelter. He is busy every day. When Hao Ren called, he could still hear fierce arguments in the background on the other side, and one of them had a particularly sharp voice.
It sounds familiar, it must be Hesiana arguing with someone or just having a quarrel.
"Hello, friend," Mimir's voice was still so calm and calm, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suppressed the messy arguments in the background.
"It's quite lively over there," Hao Ren said with a smile, "Who is Hesana arguing with again?"
"I'm in a meeting, and the little girl is quarreling with the Lucas family," Mimir's voice seemed to be smiling. "This is the first collective meeting after the establishment of the Shadow Council. We are discussing the first batch of people to leave the shelter.
Number of people limit issue.”
Hao Ren was a little surprised: "The Shadow Council has entered official operation? It's very fast, and you are also a member?"
Mimir's voice paused for two seconds before coming over: "In fact, I am now the Speaker of the Shadow Parliament."
"What?!" Hao Ren couldn't control his surprise this time, "You became the Speaker?!"
Mimir hummed, but couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations. To him, this was nothing to be alarmed about. He had experienced a lot in his life. He had even been a consultant to a demon hunter.
But Hao Ren really couldn't calm down. He had thought before that Mimir, a special ancient, would definitely have extraordinary prestige among the aliens. It was not uncommon to get a place in the Shadow Council. After all, ancients were.
Everyone has a halo of honor, but it would be more shocking if this old giant directly became the speaker of the Shadow Parliament: he has been away from the alien society for more than two thousand years, and during these years he has been living as a consultant to the demon hunters.
This identity is very valuable, but undoubtedly embarrassing, if the hunting war had not ended. This identity even belongs to the "black household registration" that cannot be disclosed. Besides, he has no foundation in the heterogeneous group. In Athens,
The Sanctuary has no power. It can be said that apart from the halo of face, he is completely an "outsider" in the Sanctuary.
With neither power nor connections, why was Mimir suddenly elected as the Speaker?
"With the support of the Hesiana family and the help of Hela, although Hela is withdrawn, she seems to have a voice here," Mimir smiled warmly and briefly explained the situation there. "
Of course, the more important reason is that no one they choose is suitable."
Hao Ren is not stupid. He knew what was going on when he heard the words "No one is suitable to choose." In the final analysis, the support of a family and an ancient is only a one-sided reason. The root cause is probably the families in the shelter.
No one is convinced, and under the premise that everyone wants to be the leader when they meet, no matter who you choose to be the boss, you will inevitably end up failing in the middle of the show, so it is simply impossible for them to elect a speaker internally.
In this case, a mascot speaker who is highly respected but has no power himself becomes the best choice, because as long as the structure of the Shadow Parliament is reasonable, the position of "speaker" basically has no power.
It is appropriate and reasonable for the ancient man, who is not related to any powerful people and does not like to take care of things by nature, to sit in this position: anyway, he only needs to sit in that position to ward off evil spirits.
What's more, he also knows Vivian.
Of course, the development of things is always unpredictable. The current Speaker of the Shadow Parliament is a guy who doesn't care about things, but Hao Ren doesn't know how the situation will change in a few years. After all, this is a brand-new organization, and all its developments require
Let’s wait and see.
"Actually, I have no interest in this position," Mimir said calmly, "but little girl Hesiana convinced me through hard work. Let's not mention my situation here for the time being. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Hao Ren reacted immediately and nodded quickly: "Oh, by the way, let me ask you something. Are you familiar with Yggdrasil?"
"Is Yggdrasil familiar?" Mimir was startled, as if thinking of something, "How do you know it can communicate?"
As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he knew: There is a way!
"Few people know how to communicate with Yggdrasil, and most people don't even know that it has thoughts at all," Mimir said slowly. "Odin knows about it, but he can't understand it.
The thoughts of a plant, Nidhogg also knew about this, but he went crazy when he tried to listen to the voice of Yugudora Sil, and finally burned himself to death. In addition, even the ancient Nordic
The gods just regard Yggdrasil as a plant. They have never tried to talk to the World Tree, and I have never allowed them to talk to it: one Nidhogg is enough."
"So you really know how to communicate with the World Tree?" Hao Ren's tone was full of expectation, "Do you communicate often?"
"I have been able to hear the voice of Yggdrasil since I became conscious," Mimir smiled. "This is easy for me. But the way of thinking of the World Tree is very special. You have to ask me about it.
Ideas are meaningless and difficult to express clearly in words.”
Hao Renxin said that he had successfully connected with the spirit of his eldest son, and he did not go crazy, but talking about this at this time was obviously off topic. He told Mimir directly what happened today: "We used Gangnir's fragment resonance
We successfully found the remnants of the Yggdrasil space chain, and if we are right, we opened the gate to the Asa Garden area."
When Mimir heard the news, he lost his composure: "You found it?! How is that place now?"
"It ran away," Hao Ren sighed, "We didn't know that Yggdrasil was still alive."
After a while, he truthfully told the other party what he had encountered today. Mimir fell into silence for a few seconds after listening. Finally, the old giant sighed: "It's so far away among the stars. Not long ago, I was still there.
I didn't believe that I would have the chance to leave this planet, but I didn't expect that Yggdrasil, which had been floating in the universe for two thousand years, still had this kind of power and could survive the big explosion.
"
Lily was a little curious: "You didn't know that Yggdrasil had the power to shift space?"
"I don't know," Mimir replied, "It has never shown such power. Even when the Demon Hunter attacked the God's Domain, it did not react at all. But now that I think about it, the Demon Hunter's super weapon only cut off
It only established the connection between the Nine Kingdoms and the Main Material Plane, and did not fundamentally harm Yggdrasil, so I am afraid that World Tree did not regard this as a threat at all from the beginning."
"This is quite new information," Vivian raised her eyebrows and wondered how it could be banished from the earth by the demon hunters if it had such power."
Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. The key now is that it ran away. We suspect that our tentative behavior 'scared' the World Tree, so"
"So you need my help, I know what to do," Mimir said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem, but are you sure you can find it again?"
Hao Ren smiled confidently: "Of course I am sure, I can use a lot of search power."
"That's no problem," Mimir agreed happily, "I can help at any time. But I can't leave for too long: things in the Shadow Council have just begun, and I, the speaker, have a lot to do even in name."
Of course Hao Ren understood this, and then he curiously asked some questions about Yggdrasil: "Since you often chatted with the World Tree before, you know what it is thinking about.
Does it have any memory of its home world?"
"There should be no memory," the old giant replied, "and when I establish a mental connection with it, I always feel that it is in a chaotic and slow state. It lacks response to external stimuli and lacks proactive thinking.
At least that's what I remember about Yggdrasil, but based on how you described it's reaction when it 'escaped', I think it's much sharper now."
After hearing Mimir's answer, Hao Ren became thoughtful. (To be continued.)
