Judging from the scale that Lu Xiao figured out from the outside, it is impossible for the library to accommodate so many bookshelves dedicated to giants.
Gloria should have performed a space folding operation on his library, making the actual space inside the library much larger than it appears from the outside.
It's a pity that these bookshelves are all empty. You don't need to think about it to know that they were moved by Odin.
Mimir sneered and analyzed: "It seems that Odin hid this library just to cover up his crimes. Poor Gloya, she shouldn't believe that liar who is full of lies."
Lu Xiao wiped the bookshelf. The thick dust proved that no one had been here for a long time.
"This is a good thing for us. At least Odin will no longer keep surveillance on this library."
In Odin's view, Gloria's library has no value. The most precious things have been moved back to his golden palace, leaving only a meaningless empty shell.
He probably never dreamed that Gloya had left a backup a long time ago. The truly precious things in the library were not taken away by Odin, but were hidden deep in a secret space somewhere in the library.
.
While searching for the secret entrance, Lu Xiao recalled Faria's reminder.
'Falia said there is a dangerous shadow in this library. Where does the danger come from?'
There are as many as a dozen sections in the entire library, and it takes a lot of time to wander around the library aimlessly.
Lu Xiao and Mimir followed the guidance of the rune stone and went straight to the topic. The secret entrance was located in the main book collection area in the center.
When Lu Xiao approached the entrance with the rune stone, a cave entrance glowing with black light appeared.
Just in case, Lu Xiao first blessed herself with a variety of defensive spells before entering the cave entrance, and then carefully entered it holding the rune stone in hand.
The scenery in the inner building does not look much different from that in the outer building, but everything here is upside down, including bookshelves, walls, and ceilings, without exception.
Moreover, all the items in the inner hall have been scaled down and are obviously specially prepared for humans of standard size.
There are several books of unknown origin placed on a particularly conspicuous golden bookshelf. These should be Gloya's last legacy to the prophecy.
Although she herself doesn't know who will get the inheritance.
Lu Xiao casually took out a book and opened it. He rolled his eyes at the Old Norse text.
"Mimir, help me translate."
"no problem."
Lifting Mimir's head in front of the book, the wisest man in the nine realms began to read the contents of the book quickly.
"This book was left by Gloya to her daughter Faria. It records the deep taboos of prophecy, as well as some secret techniques that can only be used by the giants."
Lu Xiao was not surprised by this. Since he could predict his own death, Gloya had no reason not to leave something for his daughter.
"The next one."
"this……"
As soon as he opened the first page of the book, Mimir immediately exclaimed: "...You really guessed it right. This book records the method of 'smuggling' to Vanaheim."
"Gloya left a space passage directly connected to Vanaheim in the inner hall. It requires special runes to activate it, which is the rune stone in your hand."
"Boom!"
Before Mimir could continue to decipher the remaining basic books, the library suddenly began to shake, and Lu Xiao could feel that the surrounding space was fluctuating violently.
"The folding space in the outer building is shrinking rapidly. Have we triggered the mechanism?"
Mimir: "Perhaps, the spell set by Gloya will use the power to maintain the spatial structure of the library to open the passage to Vanaheim."
"Lu Xiao, get ready! The passage is about to open!"
With just enough time to sweep the few remaining books on the bookshelf into the portable space, Lu Xiao was pulled into the space passage by the sudden suction force, bumping left and right in the passage in an informal way.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao himself has good attainments in space magic. If someone else had come here, he would have been thrown into the space turbulence.
As soon as Lu Xiao was thrown out of the passage, the hairs all over her body stood on end.
"Qiang!"
The sharp thorns piercing out from the ground almost penetrated Lu Xiao's body, but he dodged it through the flash technique at the critical moment.
'Fortunately, I have been vigilant.'
Standing firm, Lu Xiao looked at the person who made a sneak attack warily.
Standing at the exit of the space passage is a tall man with a well-proportioned figure.
This man has a white face and no beard. He is wearing armor made of some kind of plant. He holds a gleaming broad sword in his right hand and wears thick brown leather boots on his feet.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
The man did not answer Lu Xiao's question. After the sneak attack failed, he attacked again.
Having learned the lesson from his last failure, large thorns sprouted from the ground under Lu Xiao's feet, even forming a small forest of thorns.
Lu Xiao hurriedly jumped back and used the alchemy technique to raise the height of the soil on the ground. The thick soil of Vanaheim wrapped the thorn forest and lowered it back to the ground.
The golden sword energy struck by the Xuanyuan Sword was blocked by the opponent's divine sword of the same extraordinary quality. Lu Xiao, who landed again, distanced himself from the taciturn man.
"I ask again, who are you? Why did you attack me?"
Mimir, who had been hanging on Lu Xiao's waist, finally turned to the front. When he saw the man holding the sword, he suddenly exclaimed.
"Vader! He is Vader of the Forest! One of the twelve main gods of Asgard!"
The man known as Wei Da removed his strength and moved the golden sword away, still looking at the head on Lu Xiao's waist with a calm expression.
"Mimir, long time no see."
Vader, the god of the forest, the son of Odin and the giantess Grid. According to legend, he is the physical embodiment of the power of nature in the nine realms and has the innate power to control all animals and plants.
Since Vader has been taciturn since he was a child, he is also known as the God of Silence in Asgard.
Mimir asked with a solemn expression: "Vida, why are you here?"
Vader: "Mission."
"Your mission is to ambush us?"
"No, coincidence."
Lu Xiao watched with a headache as Mimir and Vida communicated. He was very uncomfortable with this kind of three-sentence conversation.
"Whoosh!"
Vader didn't want to talk nonsense and pointed the divine sword in his hand at Lu Xiao.
"Traveler, Odin's target, captured."
As the strong natural power of the Divine Sword appeared, a large number of strange and strange plants emerged from the ground. Several thick and long vines stretched towards Lu Xiao, forcing him to keep dodging and using the Xuanyuan Sword to kill these pursuing plants.
of vines.
"Mimir, what's Vader's weakness?"
"Brother, I want to know too."
Mimir smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, Vader did not reveal any weaknesses in the legend. He was one of the few Asgard gods in the Ragnarok prophecy who survived until the war."
'Does that mean we can only retreat...'
If Lu Xiao cannot catch the opponent's weakness, it will be difficult for Lu Xiao to break through the divine protection of Vader's main god level.
"Don't try to escape."
Vader inserted the divine sword in his hand into the ground: "All spirits, listen to my call."
"Boom boom!"
There was a huge noise in the surrounding forest, as if thousands of troops were galloping in the woods.
Mimir shouted: "Escape quickly! There is no chance of winning against Vader in the forest! All beasts are coming!"
