With Lu Xiao's current strength, he would not be easily defeated in a head-on battle with the Asaph clan.
But if he can't break their protective power, he won't be able to hurt the enemy. In the end, it will just become a time-wasting tug-of-war.
Lu Xiao was attacked by a sneak attack just after entering Vanaheim, and Lu Xiao didn't have time to see her surroundings clearly.
After hearing Mimir's reminder, he discovered that the exit of the space passage was located near a vast mountain forest. He and Vader were standing in an abandoned ruins similar to a teleportation station.
As Lu Xiao sped up to evacuate, Mimir spoke faster and explained: "This used to be the official transmission channel connecting Vanaheim and the Nine Realms."
"After Odin sealed the passage from the Nine Realms to Vanaheim, only the Asaphs occasionally used this passage to travel between the two places. Unexpectedly, Gloya actually used an unconventional way to break through Odin's blockade and find it.
.”
Vader himself cannot move very fast, but as the god of the forest, he can use the help of animals and plants.
At this time, he was riding on the back of a unicorn Pegasus and speeding towards Lu Xiao.
"Can fantasy creatures be controlled?!"
Mimir smiled bitterly and said: "Otherwise, how can we call him the God of the Forest? This is his power."
The Pegasus was very fast, and it was difficult for Lu Xiao to escape from its pursuit.
'In that case...'
When the Pegasus thought it could catch up with Lu Xiao with its last sprint, it accidentally triggered the spell trap left by Lu Xiao.
"Buzz!"
The Pegasus, which had been flapping its wings and flying at high speed just now, suddenly stopped in mid-air. Vader sensed something was wrong and jumped out from the back of the Pegasus.
The one-horned Pegasus with snow-white fur was swallowed up by the twisted space in a second, leaving only some scattered feathers in the air.
A soaring giant eagle caught the falling Vader and continued to pursue it relentlessly.
"That's almost it."
At this time, the two of them were already quite far away from the previous teleportation station.
Lu Xiao descended and passed through the woods. The dense leaves blocked Vader's sight.
When Vader pursued Lu Xiao along the route he took, the trees in the forest took the initiative to move their branches to let him pass.
'This is too foul. It's like the whole world is helping him. No wonder Mimir said he couldn't fight Vader in the forest.'
"But fortunately, I've bought enough time!"
"Whoosh!"
When Vader was about to catch up with his target, the God of the Forest found that the target mysteriously disappeared in front of him.
"Space spell?" Vader frowned slightly: "I tried my best, but I can't catch up."
After stopping the pursuit, Vader looked around at the unfamiliar primitive jungle, and three question marks seemed to appear on his forehead.
"Where am I?"
…
After leading Vader far enough away from the teleportation station, Lu Xiao activated the space teleportation and returned to the ruins.
By this time, the wave of galloping beasts had long passed, and there was peace in the forest.
"Huh~"
After finally getting rid of Vidal, Lu Xiao and Mimir breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so unlucky to bump into Vader..."
Mimir said helplessly: "Maybe this is the shadow in Faria's prophecy. Vader should have just completed his mission to Vanaheim and is preparing to return to Asgard."
Before Lu Xiao set out for Jotunheim, he heard that Vader had gone to Vanaheim.
Three months later, Lu Xiao subconsciously thought that Vader had completed his mission and left long ago. He did not expect that he would stay in Vanaheim for such a long time.
"Think about it from another perspective."
Mimir said thoughtfully: "It took three months to leave Vanaheim, which shows that Vader's mission did not go smoothly."
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and complained: "It's a ghost if it goes smoothly. I don't know why Odin sent the god of the forest who can't speak clearly as an envoy."
Mimir was quite speechless about this: "...Maybe it's because Vader is his son. I have said before that Odin is an extremely selfish and short-term person, and he has always liked nepotism."
If you think about it carefully, this seems to be true. Most of the well-known gods in Nordic mythology are related to Odin.
I don’t know if it’s because Vader is clumsy with his words, or because the Vanir Protoss has no intention of reaching an alliance with the Asaph Protoss.
Judging from the result, Vader was delayed in Vanaheim for three months, which proved that his mission did not go smoothly.
In order to avoid being tracked by Vader using the animals and plants in the forest, Lu Xiao flew into the sky away from the ground and overlooked the scenery of Vanaheim from a high altitude.
As the hometown of the Vanir, Vanaheim has stunning natural beauty. The Vanir residences scattered all over the place are perfectly integrated into the natural environment, and you can't even notice it unless you look carefully.
"Mimir, how should we go?"
"Go north."
Mimir pointed the direction for Lu Xiao with his glowing eyes: "Compared to the Asaph clan who live concentratedly in Asgard, the Vanir clan's living habits are relatively scattered. All the clans live scattered throughout Vanaheim."
"The last time I saw Niord, the God King of Vanir, he lived on the northern seaside with his sister Nasus."
"elder sister?"
Lu Xiao asked in confusion: "Where is his wife? Why does he live with his sister?"
"Well..."
Mimir's expression was a little strange: "The style of the Warner Protoss is relatively... open. Nasus is also Niord's wife, and Freya is their daughter."
"……ha?"
…
The Asgard and Asgard are most mentioned in the original Nordic mythology. Lu Xiao really hasn’t paid much attention to the situation of the Warner Protoss.
Lu Xiao only had one thought about the story Mimir told.
"Your circle is really chaotic."
Not only the siblings Nasus and Niord, Freya's biological brother Freya also once madly pursued his sister, but in the end he failed to do so and was gnawed on by the old cow Odin.
.
Considering that Germany once believed in Nordic mythology, Lu Xiao began to doubt the true origin of the rumored "German Orthopedics".
Lu Xiao originally thought that Niord, the king of the Vanir Clan, would at least live in a palace, but when he came to the seaside and found the Vanir God King and his wife, they lived casually in a palace close to nature.
Inside the wooden hut.
'Could it be that Vader stayed in Vanaheim for three months because the customs here are more suitable for him than Asgard?'
Niold's first impression on Lu Xiao was not like a god-king at all, but like an uncle who could be seen everywhere on the seashore.
"It's really rare."
When Lu Xiao revealed his identity and came to visit, Niord's face showed a half-smile expression: "I didn't expect that in just six months, two waves of forces would come to the Warner Protoss to form an alliance."
Niord has the trademark beard of a Nordic man, has a relatively ordinary appearance, is naked and holds a harpoon in his hand.
"go!"
After half a sentence, Niord suddenly threw a harpoon into the vast sea and pulled out a giant strange fish that Lu Xiao didn't recognize.
Although the Warner God Queen Nasus is relatively ordinary in dress, her temperament reveals nobility, and she can vaguely see the style of the God Queen.
"Niord, don't be busy fishing now, business is more important."
After arriving and taking a seat in the hut, Lu Xiao immediately felt a change in the atmosphere.
Niold, who had been so careless before, straightened his attitude, and his calm and majestic aura made Lu Xiao, who was facing him, secretly frightened.
'Is this the true posture of King Warner?'
"Young man, please explain your purpose of coming."
Niold's eyes flashed with shrewdness: "If you are here to lobby for Odin, don't talk about it as soon as possible. I will treat you just like Vader and let you spend the cold weather in Vanaheim comfortably.
