As early as after Lu Xiao killed Balder and fell into coma, he had met once in a dream with the black dragon who was suspected of being Nidhogg, or to be precise, it was the second meeting.
There was no time for communication between the two parties at that time. They just had a face-to-face meeting and it ended. Lu Xiao did not expect that the world-destroying black dragon would take the initiative to ask Freya to contact him.
"Nidhogg?!"
Mimir exclaimed: "The King of the Black Dragon who gnawed at the roots of the World Tree! Why would he want to see Lu Xiao?"
Freya shook her head: "I don't know the specific reason. It only said that it had the information Lu Xiao wanted."
Lu Xiao was a little surprised: "The information I want?"
'There is so much information I want...which one was Nidhogg talking about?'
There must be a reason why the World-Destroying Black Dragon sent out the invitation at this juncture. Through the first two brief contacts, Lu Xiao could basically confirm that the other party had no ill intentions.
"Mimir, how do I reach the root of the World Tree?"
"Well..."
Mimir thought about it for a moment before hesitatingly said: "Theoretically, you can reach all the way down through the special spaces connecting various countries through the World Tree, but no one has ever done this before."
"Give me some time to think about the plan. I hope I can give you an answer early the day after tomorrow."
It was already late at night when Freya came to visit the Temple of Tyr. After a long discussion and information exchange, it was already past five in the morning.
In order to maintain strong energy to deal with the battle that may come at any time, before Mimir came to a conclusion, everyone began to restore the consumed energy in their own way.
When she returned to her room to meditate, Lu Xiao vaguely felt Nidhogg's gaze again.
There was no hostility in those huge, ferocious-looking eyes, and Lu Xiao even felt a vague sense of closeness.
'Could it be...'
…
The morning after meeting Freya, everyone in the secret room gathered together again and began to determine the specific coordinates of Tire's last disappearance.
Lu Xiao is confident of liberating Tire from the space-time rift, but he needs accurate spatial coordinates.
As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a huge difference. Once there is a problem with the coordinates, Tire is likely to be torn into pieces by random space while being freed from the time freeze. He must strictly follow the same coordinates to carry out precise operations.
A group of people repeatedly compared the still images recorded by Freya with the real scenes in the combat conference hall.
This process is not easy. When Tyr fought Odin and Thor, Jormungandr had not yet traveled from the future, and the water level of the Nine Realms Lake had not risen. The bustling scenery of the Nine Realms Lakeside was different from the current desolate ruins.
There is a huge difference.
Combining the intelligence from Mimir and Freya, we can come to the conclusion that at the same time that Tyr disappeared, the World Serpent was shot through time and space by another Thor from the future.
Lu Xiao believes that there should be a connection between the two, but it is a pity that Jörmungandr has entered hibernation, otherwise he should be able to ask it for some relevant information.
In addition to finding the coordinates of Tyr's disappearance, how to respond to Nidhogg's invitation is also an important issue that needs to be resolved first.
While Mimir was thinking hard about the plan, Lu Xiao was not idle. He entrusted Kratos, who was holding the dwarf teleportation stone, to take him through the passage of the World Tree first.
Lu Xiao had never traveled to the Nine Realms in this way before.
This special space is said to be a fragment of the projection of the World Tree itself. A large tree stands in the center of the magnificent scenery like the starry sky.
This seemingly impressive tree is actually just one of the branches of the World Tree. It is theoretically possible to reach the bottom of the World Tree, which is unknown how high, through conventional means, but no one knows how long it will take.
Lu Xiao can feel special fluctuations from different countries in this unique space. The spatial structure here is very unstable, and a space passage to a certain World Tree node may be opened if not careful.
After a little investigation, Lu Xiao could not guarantee that he could accurately find the passage to the bottom of the World Tree in this chaotic and overlapping space, so he could only give up temporarily.
Mimir lived up to Lu Xiao's expectations. He found a method several hours in advance. However, this method was not so easy to implement.
"The Unity Stone..."
Lu Xiao had a headache and rubbed the center of his brow.
Unity is an artifact that guarantees Tyr's freedom to travel around the world. Its power can even protect Tyr and allow him to travel to distant Greece and Egypt, without Odin knowing anything about it.
Kratos and Atreus used the Unity Stone when they retrieved Jotunheim's Kingdom Tower. They successfully passed Tyr's test and returned Jotunheim's Kingdom Tower to its place.
However, the Unity Stone was also recovered by the mechanism set up by Tyr after the test was completed, and disappeared.
"We can only release the person involved, Tyr, first. Only he knows the whereabouts of the Unity Stone."
…
Odin lost Fujin and Wu Ni, and could no longer monitor all corners of the Nine Realms.
The patron saint Heimdall replaced the work of the two divine birds, ravens, but he only had one pair of eyes and could not observe the entire world at the same time.
Under Odin's orders, Heimdall focused most of his attention on the Midgard world.
With the help of the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall's eyes have the ability to see through all illusions, and even Tamamo Mae's spell cannot work in front of his eyes.
When Lu Xiao and others secretly headed to the Iron Bay southwest of the temple under the shielding effect of the concealment spell, Heimdall's shining golden eyes saw their movements clearly, and he quickly told Odin this information.
.
The one-eyed king frowned in confusion: "Iron Bay was once the most important port on the Nine Realms Lake, but it was completely abandoned hundreds of years ago. Why go there?"
Heimdall couldn't answer. His eyes could only observe and had no ability to predict.
Odin subconsciously wanted to call the forest god Vader, but considering the death of Hodel not long ago, Odin suddenly changed his mind.
He didn't want to continue to lose important chess pieces before Ragnarok began, but at the same time, he didn't want to just watch Lu Xiao and others swaggering under his nose.
With a roll of his eyes, Odin thought of a strategy to drive away the wolf and the tiger.
"Hermod."
"exist."
"I remember that there seems to be a powerful dragon sleeping in the north of Iron Bay, right?"
"Yes."
Helmold replied respectfully: "The magic dragon Fafnir is said to have been transformed from a money-grubbing dwarf and was imprisoned somewhere in the west of the Lake of the Nine Realms."
"After a long period of imprisonment, Fafnir gradually lost his mind and became more and more crazy. He will attack all intruders who dare to approach the treasure house indiscriminately."
"Haha~"
Odin sneered twice: "Hermod, I have a task for you."
Hermod is the son of Odin, and he is also the personal attendant who has followed the God King for countless years. You can guess what Odin meant from his brief words.
Hermod, who understood deeply, bowed respectfully: "Follow the order of the God King, Fafnir's anger will surely devour those arrogant outsiders."
