Atreus was immersed in specialties from all over the world, while Lu Xiao was looking at ancient coins and was lost in thought.
Kratos' usually steady hands were rarely trembling. When the other two were not paying attention, he picked up the clay pot and looked at it carefully.
The painting on this pottery pot is Kratos himself, and the bloody swords evoked his painful memories.
"Crack!"
Not wanting his son to know about his unbearable past, Kratos threw the pottery pot on the ground and smashed it into pieces.
The sound of the broken pottery jar woke Lu Xiao up. Seeing the fragmented pictures on the broken pottery shards, a flash of surprise flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes.
‘A dark history that you don’t want anyone to know about.’
Atreus, who was busy hunting for treasures, did not notice his father's slight gaffe, and Lu Xiao had no intention of poking at Mr. Kui's sore spot. If he was annoyed, he might just hit him with an axe.
Don't doubt it, Kratos is such a person. Even though his temper has become much calmer than before after having another child, as the saying goes, the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
When necessary, Kratos is still the Spartan soul who bravely fights the gods. Lu Xiao does not want to fight an unnecessary battle with Kratos.
"Kaka!"
Turning the last winch, the three giant rings that were constantly rotating in the center of the cellar finally stopped functioning, and the rune stones suspended in the air slowly descended.
After calming down, Kratos took Atreus and followed Lu Xiao. The three of them gathered around the rune stone, which seemed to have nothing visible on the surface. There was a final seal in front of it.
This was not the first time Atreus encountered this kind of seal during his adventurous journey with his father.
He took out the knife left by his mother and stabbed it on the rune mask that was the core of the seal. The black rune stone was now completely exposed in front of the three of them.
Lu Xiao knelt down and picked up the rune stone that fell to the ground, but there was no reaction.
After handing the rune stone to Atreus, a special rune mark suddenly appeared on the smooth stone surface.
"Is this the rune to Jotunheim?"
Mimir: "Yes, child, remember it, the rune stone is beginning to break."
"Be alert!"
Kratos took off the Leviathan Ax from his back and looked ahead warily.
The two statues around the cellar are shaking and shaking off stone chips. It seems that they are the last trials left by Tyr.
"Leave the red one to me, and you can handle the blue one."
These two statues seemed to be made by Tyr's sealed mountain monster. As soon as they escaped from the trap, they roared and attacked the three people in the room.
Compared with ordinary mountain monsters, these two statues made into guardians have higher physical strength, stronger attack power and attack frequency.
But no matter how hard it is strengthened, the mountain monster is still a mountain monster.
Lu Xiao didn't want to waste all her efforts with this stupid guy, so she used a little trick to lure him into a trap.
The space-time mechanism that had been prepared was activated, sucking the roaring mountain monster into random spaces and expelling it from this world.
On the other side, Kuiye also defeated the enemy with the cooperation of his son, and struck an ax on the forehead of the statue monster, ending the opponent's action.
"Now that you have the runes, Mimir, you can go to Jotunheim through the portal on the top of the mountain, right?"
Mimir: "If everything goes well...yes, you can set off."
'Is everything going well...?'
Mimir's tone was a little unconfident, and he instinctively thought that things were not that simple.
…
After leaving Tyr's cellar, Lu Xiao saw that Kratos seemed to have something to discuss with his son, so Lu Xiao said goodbye and left knowingly.
"My companion has just sent news that there are some things that I need to deal with. You two, let's say goodbye and see you again in the future."
Lu Xiao's farewell words were not just an excuse, Yongzhen did send a message.
When Lu Xiao and Kratos and his son explored the cellar together, Yongzhen's team successfully eliminated the remaining three Valkyries, obtained their helmets, and absorbed their divine power.
After gathering the eight helmets, they need to go to the Valkyrie Council Hall to put their helmets back on their seats to unlock the ninth Valkyrie, which is also the strongest one.
King of the Valkyries, Sigrun.
When Lu Xiao left the cellar and returned to Brock's blacksmith shop, Yong Zhen happened to crush the rune stone and teleport back to Lu Xiao.
Under the guidance of Mimir, the group of people rose into the sky under the control of Lu Xiao's wind and flew directly towards the Valkyrie Council Hall.
The council hall was originally built underground. After the Valkyries fell into sleep one after another, it has been abandoned for many years and became dilapidated under the immersion of the Lake of Nine Realms.
After the flood receded, the open-air parliament hall with broken ceiling was finally seen again.
Three people and one wolf were responsible for two helmets respectively, and placed them on their respective seats according to Mimir's instructions.
The vague soul shadows separated from the helmets and sat peacefully on their respective chairs without saying a word.
"Be prepared, brother."
Mimir, who was on Fenrir's back, noticed the twisted space crack that appeared in the center of the Council Hall Square.
"Sigurn is known as the King of Valkyries who is closest to Freya. The strength of other Valkyries is completely incomparable to her."
Yongzhen, Tamamozen and Fenrir consciously withdrew from the square, but they did not relax their vigilance and were ready to provide support at any time.
Lu Xiao drew out the Xuanyuan Sword and walked cautiously to the space crack. Before he could cast a spell to expand the size of the crack, a left hand wearing a metal gauntlet suddenly stretched out from the dark alien space.
Lu Xiao, who was well prepared, immediately moved sideways to dodge, and the hand that was about to grab his head fell into the air. Lu Xiao took the opportunity to lift the Xuanyuan Sword and aim at the opponent's wings to attack.
"Wow!"
With the sound of flapping wings, Lu Xiao was stepped on by a foot from the sky before she could react.
Onlookers Yong Zhen and Tamamo Mae looked shocked at the same time: "It's so fast! It's at least twice as fast as the attack frequency of other Valkyries!"
"Woo!"
Fenrir bared his sharp teeth and leaned down, letting out an alert growl from his throat.
Even though he was well prepared, Sigurune's attack speed was still somewhat beyond Lu Xiao's expectations.
"Ha ha!"
One move hit, and Sigruen gained the upper hand and stomped on Lu Xiao's head without mercy.
Lu Xiao twisted her head in a small area to avoid the opponent's attack, and finally found the slight opportunity when Sigurun raised her leg to force her back with a sword.
The kick containing divine power was quite powerful, and Lu Xiao's head was still a little dizzy after he turned over and stood up.
Sigruen didn't give Lu Xiao any time to buffer. After standing still, he immediately flapped his wings and took off. This time, he made three horizontal high-speed dashes.
Simply using physical speed could no longer keep up with Sigurune's pace. Lu Xiao used the most basic flash spell among space spells to dodge while moving.
After regaining his composure, Lu Xiao took advantage of every opportunity to inform Yongzhen through mental messages.
"Exclude all Odin's Crows around and make sure there aren't any... huh!" around the Valkyrie Council Chamber.
Sigrun's change of moves is incredibly fast, and he immediately starts releasing spells after three consecutive attacks.
Sigurn, who assisted Freya in training other junior Valkyries, was proficient in all the Valkyries' abilities. One second she was releasing meteors and fire showers, and the next second she quickly retreated and started shooting a large number of ice cones.
These two spells were seen by Lu Xiao in Gerndal and Shilud. They were more skillful in using Shigrun and the casting speed was also faster.
The peeping old man's eyes were still nearby, and Lu Xiao didn't want to expose her strength in front of him.
Before Yongzhen cleared the crows nearby, Lu Xiao could only temporarily take a defensive position and respond to Sigurun's endless attacks at will.
