After a day of classes, Joel returned to his dormitory bed, covered his body tightly with the quilt, closed his eyes and clicked on the shining World Tree in his brain.
There was another round of dizziness, and when Joel opened his eyes again, he found that he was sitting on the main seat of the Hall of Valor. When he first passed through, he felt some discomfort in his right eye. He stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and found that there was a thick eye patch blocking it.
In front of the right eye.
It seems that he is still Odin, and the timeline of the story is after he created the runes.
Nine Valkyrie girls squatted in the empty hall of Valhalla. The God Queen Frigga sat beside him, with a blank look on his face as if he had forgotten why he was sitting here.
The hall was silent, obviously waiting for Odin, the King of Gods, to speak.
Joel took this time to quickly sort out the thoughts racing in his mind.
A year ago, Odin's favorite eldest son, Baldr, the God of Light, was killed by the God of Fire, Loki, through a trick. The fall of the God of Light caused the world to lose its light, and darkness enveloped the entire continent for a winter.
Since Asgard is the residence of the gods, everyone can still hold on with their magic power, but the human kingdom in the atrium is in complete chaos.
There is no harvest in the farmland, famine spreads in every inch of the human country, starvation is everywhere, and human tragedy occurs. Conflicts and wars occur frequently, not to mention the impact of the loss of sunlight on other living creatures. The goose-feather snow has been falling for a month.
For a long time, the evil beasts in the wilderness wandered around in search of food. They were so hungry that they finally set their sights on defenseless humans.
For a time, the world was filled with crime and terror, human corpses were everywhere, vultures were flying in the sky, and the world was already a scene of purgatory. The meeting held today in the Hall of Valor was to discuss how to maintain the order of the human kingdom from collapse.
Odin, played by Joel, rubbed his fingers. He has been familiar with Nordic mythology in the past year. He knows clearly that the death of Baldr, the body of light, marks the inevitable arrival of Ragnarok, and all gods and creatures under the old order will fall into eternity.
of deep sleep.
He looked at his wife Frigga in this world and shook his head slowly, "I can't do anything about what happened in the atrium."
This sentence was regarded as a death sentence for the world in the atrium. The nine Valkyrie girls lowered their beautiful cheeks and mourned the devastation of the creatures in the world below.
At this moment, a system that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared to compete for its presence.
It's a task reminder.
Play as Odin, the King of Gods and survive Ragnarok. Mission reward: Completely understand the exquisite use of runes.
Ah this...
Joel was surprised by the difficulty of this task.
"Odin, what are you thinking about?" Frigga beside her asked softly.
"...Nothing," Joel replied, "You all should step back and let the guards take protective measures. Be sure not to let anyone enter Asgard from the Rainbow Bridge."
The Valkyrie girls didn't hesitate at all. They were Odin's maids, and they had no choice but to obey Joel's orders unconditionally.
In fact, a year of famine and war has made the humans living in the atrium feel desperate. Many people blocked the Rainbow Bridge (the passage from the atrium to Asgard) to seek shelter from the gods. The guards and gods
The sky is tired of hearing people's desperate cries.
After everyone dispersed, the already empty Hall of Valor became even more lonely. Frigga frowned and looked at her husband.
"Things are getting more and more wrong..." she murmured, "I have a hunch that an unprecedented disaster is coming. All our gods will die in this disaster, and no one will be spared."
Joel was not surprised by Frigga's words. Frigga, the goddess in Norse mythology, had certain prophetic abilities and could predict things that would happen a long time later on a certain level.
But he was not envious, because Frigga had sacrificed her memory for this, and she might have forgotten this prediction during dinner tonight.
Joel looked at the stunningly beautiful Frigga, and suddenly his heart moved. This ability to predict was exactly the same as that of Sybill Trelawney at Hogwarts in later generations...
Joel did not take Professor Trelawney's divination class, and he had never witnessed Professor Trelawney's prophetic ability, but he felt that there must be some connection between the two.
"Are you going to dine at my place tonight?" Frigga said, "My maid killed a cow a few days ago and plans to cook a barbecue tonight."
"No problem." Joel agreed without much hesitation.
According to the memory in Odin's mind, the eternal night has just arrived for a year, and there are still two years to prepare for Ragnarok. In order to complete the task and let Odin survive Ragnarok, Joel must make plans early.
Frigga's palace is called Fensaril, and its decoration cost is only slightly worse than that of Odin, the King of Gods. The roast beef made by the maids is extremely delicious. Joel just looks at the delicate appearance of the beef and feels
The index finger moves greatly.
After filling his stomach, Joel righteously rejected Frigga's request to stay overnight, and left the Palace of the Queen of Gods to return to the Hall of Valor.
His room is very spacious, and Odin's most famous weapon hangs on the wall - the eternal spear Gangunir. This spear looks completely different from the last time he stepped on it. The head of the spear is engraved with runes.
There are 24 characters, which are arranged together in a very strange way. With the blessing of the rune power, this spear will definitely hit once it is thrown, and it will automatically fly back to the owner's hand.
Joel carried the spear to the backyard, and as expected saw an eight-legged horse. This was Odin's mount - Sleipnis. It was more than three meters long, fat and muscular, and looked like it knew how to use force.
Worthy of strength.
This was the first time he had seen this legendary animal. If this horse really existed in reality, it would also be a magical animal.
When Sleipnis saw Odin coming, he lowered his head and shook his head to express his submission to him.
Joel stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on the horse's neck. After spending time in Odin's body, he got used to seeing things with one eye.
He mounted an eight-legged horse and held the eternal spear Gangunir tightly in his right hand.
Sleipnis seemed to sense his thoughts and ran away quickly.
Going all the way down the Rainbow Bridge and reaching the atrium, Joel could vaguely hear the desperate cries of the humans gathered around waiting for God's blessing.
Looking sideways, he saw that it was the human man and woman he had seen at the Rainbow Bridge when he entered the World Tree before.
There will no longer be sweet smiles on their lips, and their cheeks are filled with despair about the future and helplessness in reality.
Joel didn't stop for much, and quickly drove towards the distance.
In order to allow the tool man Odin to survive, Joel must now reduce the offensive pressure he faces during Ragnarok as much as possible.
In the original Norse mythology, Odin finally died at the hands of the strange wolf Fenrir. According to legend, this giant wolf had the ability to devour the heaven and the earth.
Naturally, Joel would not try his best to find this giant wolf. If he really encountered Joel, he was sure that his chances of winning were not high.
What he is looking for is Kraken, the giant squid who is also an accomplice in Ragnarok and is relatively weak.
Joel urged Sleipnis toward the seaside. During this period, he was not idle, and he has been studying the secrets of wandless spellcasting.
He stretched out the palm of his left hand flat, urging the magic and spiritual power in his body to surge outward, and the two forces mixed and left the palm of his left hand.
A ball of light blue flame floated in the palm of his hand, but there was no joy on Joel's face.
The wandless spell he just tested was based on his own theory. Although the magic power was successfully transformed by mental power, the effect of this spell was not ideal, especially for a wizard with powerful magic power like Odin.
The flames are so weak that they are not worth mentioning.
Joel frowned. He tried to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, and then tried to summon fire using Odin's own ability.
He flicked his left hand outward hard, and a ball of blazing blue flames flew towards the withered jungle in the distance. The sound of explosions was heard endlessly, and the flames shot up into the sky several feet high, swallowing up all the withered flowers, plants and trees.
The power was completely at two extremes, and Joel fell into deep thought.
