Regarding the repair of the beacon, Brock and Hindri are not yet able to make guarantees. They need to conduct some research on the beacon before they can give an accurate answer.
Considering that the first half of the Winter of Swords is likely to be spent in peace, Lu Xiao temporarily stayed at the Tire Temple to supervise and let them seize the time to come to a conclusion.
As Lu Xiao expected, after losing Fu Jin and Wu Ni, Odin's response to major events in the Nine Realms has obviously become much slower.
He guessed Lu Xiao's intention to go to Vanaheim, and planned to ask the eloquent envoy Hermod to go to the Vanna Protoss again.
Unfortunately, Niord, who had made up his mind, completely blocked the passage from Asgard to Vanaheim. Helmold, who was blocked outside, could only stand in front of the Rainbow Bridge and stare.
The powerful Vanir protoss joining the enemy camp has put pressure on Odin. Recently, his temper has become more unstable and he may explode at any time.
After the deaths of Fulgin and Muni, Odin asked Heimdall to take over their duties.
Heimdall, who has clairvoyance, can peek into various countries to a limited extent with the help of the Rainbow Bridge that connects the nine realms.
The premise is that the space channels leading to other countries must be open.
Following Jotunheim, Vanaheim also closed its borders. Odin could only ask Heimdall to focus on other countries, focusing on the movements of the fire giants in Muspelheim.
Fire giants are also a branch of giants and will definitely become the enemy of Asgard in Ragnarok.
Odin had heard about the prophecies about Surtur and the Flaming Sword. Even though he knew that as a player in the game, he would most likely not be able to change the overall situation, he still wanted to make some attempts.
The Winter of Swords has entered the second month, and members of the Valkyrie Council who went to various countries to unblock their subordinates have returned one after another, each bringing back dozens to hundreds of ordinary Valkyries.
Lu Xiao is still waiting at the Temple of Tire to wait for Brock and Sindri to give their final answer.
When Gendal returned from Muspelheim and was the last one to return to the Tire Chamber to join the others, she brought bad news to Lu Xiao and others.
"I felt the aura of the Heroic Warriors in Muspelheim. Although I don't know exactly where it is, Odin must be trying to attack Surtur."
The Valkyrie who is responsible for guiding the soul is very sensitive to the soul body. Many of the heroic warriors under Odin were personally led to the Hall of Valor by the Valkyrie in the past.
Although the information provided by Gendal is a bit surprising, it is not completely unexpected.
Mimir knows Odin very well. He is definitely not a person who waits to die. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will devote all his efforts to try to reverse the prophecy.
Lu Xiao would not completely believe in the prophecy. Even a nearly closed-loop time rule like God of War 4 can theoretically break the loop structure as long as the important nodes in history are changed to a certain extent.
After thinking for a moment with his hand on his chin, Lu Xiao decided to send a part of the Valkyries to Muspelheim to assist the fire giant in repelling Odin's elite ambush.
Skadi had previously told in detail that Surtur's process of forging the Flame Sword had just entered the final stage. He could not spare his hands to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world. The forging process was likely to continue until the moment Ragnarok officially began.
.
The total number of fire giants is smaller than that of their distant cousins, the frost giants. Without the leadership of the king, it is unclear whether they can defend the inner earth forge of Surtur under the attack of well-trained heroic warriors.
Heroic warriors are warrior souls specially selected by the Valkyries from Midgard. Heroic warriors who value personal strength are more suitable for small-scale combat. Putting them on the main battlefield like a meat grinder would be a waste of natural resources.
Odin knows very well how to use the Heroic Spirit Warriors. Before the head-on war begins, these special forces-like Heroic Spirit Warriors are his mobile ace in hand. They can be launched through the Rainbow Bridge to various worlds that have not yet been closed to complete difficult tasks.
Fire giants are different from frost giants in that they do not have a variety of rune spells, nor do they have as powerful a precognition ability as the frost giant sages.
Almost all the fire giants are single-minded warriors, and they cannot close the space channels to other countries from this side of their own country.
A border that cannot be sealed means that Asgard, who controls the Rainbow Bridge, is completely undefended.
The fire giant didn't even know when the heroic warriors entered Muspelheim.
Gendal has been stationed in Muspelheim for many years, and she and her direct subordinates are very familiar with the Fire Nation.
Under Lu Xiao's instructions, Gerndal and his party, who had just returned to Midgard, were sent back to Muspelheim via a portal by Lu Xiao. The location was the same one where Lu Xiao and the fallen Gerndal fought.
Top of volcano.
Excluding the nine council members, the Valkyrie and the Heroic Warrior are almost identical beings.
Lu Xiao believed that the Valkyrie, which had half of the home field advantage, could defeat the unfamiliar Heroic Warriors... provided that Odin would not send more reinforcements.
The Winter of Swords has entered the twelfth month, and the dwarf brothers who have been thinking about it for a long time finally have a new harvest.
"We have found a way to repair the space beacon, but we need a special material."
Lu Xiao asked without thinking: "If you need anything, just ask. As long as I can get it, I will definitely bring it back to you."
Brock and Sindri looked at each other, with brother Brock acting as the red face.
"Don't rush to guarantee it. There are many types of materials we need. Most of them can be obtained through our communication channels with the dwarf kingdom. There is only one that requires your help to obtain."
"Tell me what it is."
Sindri scratched his head and said: "Heart of Asgard."
Lu Xiao: "Huh?"
Brock explained: "Don't get me wrong, this name was given by Odin. It does not refer to the core of Asgard, but a very rare material."
"The Heart of Asgard is a special material that is neither gold nor wood. It is a non-renewable resource. Even Odin, who has the nine realms, cannot produce much in stock."
"When we created Thor's Hammer, we added very little of the heart of Asgard to the core of the hammer. You also know the power of the finished product."
Sindri, who has always been funny, rarely put on a serious expression: "The Heart of Asgard can catalyze the divine power that the user injects into the item, allowing the item to exert its maximum power while maintaining stability."
Lu Xiao touched his chin and reinterpreted it with his own understanding.
'In other words, as long as there is the catalyst of the Heart of Asgard, stable overclocking can be achieved without damaging the item itself?'
You can guess with your buttocks that such a precious thing is definitely not easy to obtain.
Brock curled his lips and said: "You should have guessed that the Heart of Asgard can only be found in Odin's Golden Palace Treasury."
"Considering that Odin has closed the permission for other countries to go to Asgard, I am afraid that I will only have the opportunity to get it after the Ragnarok War... provided that you can defeat Asgard."
