After closing the door tightly, Joel entered his mind and saw that the World Tree was already shining, every green leaf seemed to be plated with a layer of gold foil, and the black dragon Nidhogg was still tirelessly gnawing on the third root of the tree.
, among the nine kingdoms, Asgard, the top one, shines more dazzlingly.
Joel took a deep breath and lay on the bed, holding the wand in one hand and the Hammer of Penance in the other. If anything unexpected happened, these were the two items Joel could rely on most.
He clicked on Asgard on the World Tree with his mind, and the Valkyrie girl in front of the Hall of Valor showed a bright smile and bowed slightly to express her surrender to him.
The world in his mind was spinning, and Joel felt that his eyes were forced to focus on the Hall of Valor. No matter how the surrounding environment in his mind changed, the Hall of Valor remained motionless. The golden light blooming from it became stronger and stronger, until it finally sucked him into the World Tree.
.
After a feeling of emptiness, Joel finally stepped on the stone road. His first reaction was to look at his hands. There was no wand or hammer of penitence. When he looked at his body carefully, Joel felt that something was not good.
When did he become so strong? Hey!
Joel's current body has strong arms and a big, round waist. He seems to have a high level of force, and he can probably kill his original body with one punch.
He could see the Hall of Valor in front of him shining with dazzling light under the reflection of the sun. It seemed that he had traveled to the Asgard country of Norse mythology on behalf of someone.
Only when he was truly at the foot of the Hall of Valor could Joel realize the majesty of this building.
There are hundreds of gates in this palace. The gate in the center is more than thirty meters wide. There are a wild boar's head and an eagle hanging on the main gate.
The sharp eyes of the eagle were even more powerful under the sunlight, and Joel could see the eagle's head turning alertly, exploring suspicious situations everywhere.
Nine beautiful girls riding on white horses came from the side.
"Master! The ceremony to welcome the heroic warriors is about to begin." The girls came to Joel and got off the white horse and knelt down on one knee. "Please return to the Hall of Valor quickly to prepare."
As expected, Joel could understand what these girls were saying.
Joel only nodded in a hurry and didn't react until the nine girls left the Hall of Valor on white horses.
Who did he replace?
The master of the nine Valkyrie girls?
His breathing stopped for half a beat.
The answer is readily apparent - Odin, the main god of Norse mythology and the origin of the Æsir clan.
There wasn't much time left for Joel, he could only think on the way to the Hall of Valor.
He has been studying Nordic mythology since he obtained the Nordic Tablets. His understanding of these myths comes from the interpretation of poems and hearsay, as well as the true identities of the Nordic gods learned from William the Nightman.
But he never thought that one day he would stand in front of the Hall of Valor instead of Odin. Does this building also exist? Why was it destroyed and damaged?
Joel walked up to the Hall of Valor from the main road with many thoughts in his mind. When he entered from the main entrance, he could feel the eagle above his head casting its gaze over him. Its sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his soul.
Joel frowned, and the eagle immediately shifted his gaze, focusing on doing his job honestly.
Entering the Hall of Valor, Joel felt his eyes darken, and the sun's rays hit him behind, drawing a long shadow on the stone steps of the Hall of Valor.
The four walls of the palace are lined with extremely polished spears, so they are bright and dazzling. The top of the palace is paved with golden shields, and the long rows of seats on both sides are covered with exquisite armor.
He was the only one in the huge palace. Joel felt extremely lonely, and the system in his brain was unresponsive. He didn't know how long he would have to live here as Odin. He had no sense of belonging here, he was just a stranger.
At most, it created some freshness at the beginning.
"Father!" Another deep voice sounded from behind. Looking back, he found that the man was shorter and fatter than Odin. He was wearing silver-white armor and holding a hammer in his hand.
Summarizing the information in his mind, Joel could easily identify the identity of the man in front of him: Thor, the god of war and agriculture, who also has a more famous title-Thor.
"Are you going to Jotunheim after the banquet today?" Thor took a step forward, with a bit of eagerness in his eyes, "I want to go together!"
Go get a hammer and take you with me. What if you find out on the way that I am an impostor?
Joel cursed, with a calm expression on his face, "No need, you stay and practice your skills. I'll come back as soon as I go. Taking you with me will slow me down."
Thor, the God of Thunder, seemed to be very afraid of his father. He just nodded and said nothing.
The two sat on the throne and waited. Not long after, a Valkyrie girl led a group of ghosts in.
It was a ghost. Yes, Joel had seen many ghosts during his three years at Hogwarts. He was sure that the ones following the Valkyrie girl were such a group of species.
They were wearing battle armor, holding spears in their hands, and had a murderous look on their faces as they had just returned from the battlefield, making the atmosphere in the Hall of Heroes even more solemn and solemn.
Odin, played by Joel, stood up and expressed condolences to the ghost soldiers in the Hall of Valor. They turned into ghosts and stayed on the battlefield due to various unresolved obsessions. Thanks to the Valkyrie girl, they took their souls into the Hall of Valhalla.
Only then did he accept an interview with Odin, the ruler of Asgard.
Joel combined the information in Odin's mind with the Norse mythology he had seen before, and got an incredible answer.
The Hall of Valor was used by Odin to receive the warriors who died on the battlefield. Why can these warriors still appear in the Hall of Valor after they have died in battle?
In Norse mythology, these heroic warriors have immortality. In the magical world, there is only one identity that perfectly fits these characteristics - ghosts.
There is no way for ordinary people to become ghosts. There is only one answer. These soldiers who died in battle have more or less magic power in their bodies. They are wizards to a certain extent. However, they do not have magic wands and are not proficient in spells. They are better at using long magic weapons.
Fight with a spear.
Thor, the god of thunder, followed behind his father to pay respects to these heroic soldiers who died.
Joel returned to his seat and waved his hand. The table in front of everyone was piled with delicious wild boar meat and fragrant goat's milk mead. These foods were all made using some special method. The ghosts feasted on them, and Val
Kiri maidens and Jortor and his son can also enjoy it.
After having had enough wine and food, the heroic soldiers stood up and fought with each other in the spacious hall with spears in hand, practicing their fighting skills tirelessly.
At this time, Joel followed the information in his mind and left the Hall of Valor. Thor, the God of Thunder, looked at his father's retreating back and remained silent.
Joel left the spacious Hall of Valor. Outside the hall were guarded two rows of warriors holding spears - these were living people. When Joel appeared, the two rows of soldiers knelt down on one knee and beat their chests with their left hands to say hello to their king.
