The Lake of Nine Realms is very vast. Except for the part of the area occupied by Jormungandr, many ruins that were previously submerged by water levels have surfaced.
Lu Xiao has never deliberately explored these areas that appeared later, and Tiewan is one of them.
According to the information provided by Mimir, during the peaceful period when Tyr was in charge of the temple, Iron Bay was once the largest port within the Lake of the Nine Realms, with a large number of ships arriving every day.
Around the time of Tyr's "death", the prosperous Iron Bay Islands suddenly suffered heavy losses.
The battle between the three main gods flattened many developed and prosperous islands. Although this was not their original intention, in terms of the result, this battle completely destroyed the achievements that Tiewan had worked hard to develop for many years, and the prosperity was gone in one day.
In order to ensure that the calculated coordinates were accurate enough, Freya and Mimir followed Lu Xiao's three-person team, while the others stayed in the secret room and waited to see what would happen.
When a group of people entered the Iron Bay area on a self-propelled boat, the bustling port in the past had long been in decline.
Some abandoned ships were somehow integrated into the deserted islands, and the shapes of these islands with ship remnants growing out of the ground looked particularly weird.
After years of topographic reorganization, the landform of Tiewan has undergone tremendous changes compared with the past.
The island where Tire disappeared has long since disappeared, replaced by a barren mountain range directly connected to the land.
Lu Xiao couldn't see any clues from the nearby terrain, so he confirmed to Mimir and Freya uncertainly: "Are you really sure this is here?"
"Sure."
Freya was still unwilling to communicate with Lu Xiao, so Mimir took the question and explained: "Although the landform has changed a lot, the relative reference objects nearby are still preserved."
"Look to the northeast, is there a small island?"
"That island existed hundreds of years ago. Because a large number of water thieves gathered on the island, the island was called the Island of Death by nearby residents."
"Although the Island of Death has changed a lot compared to before, the general geographical location is still correct and can be used as a reference."
"The small hills below us are the approximate area where Tire disappeared. Freya and I will need a period of on-site survey to locate the precise coordinates."
Lu Xiao took Mimir's head from Fenrir's back and handed him to Freya.
Freya, whose attitude was still cold, said nothing, raised Mimir's head and turned around to walk into the forest.
Tamamo Mae was very dissatisfied with her attitude. He curled his lips and complained: "It's so arrogant. It's not without reason that Kratos hates gods."
Lu Xiao smiled nonchalantly: "Considering the hatred between her and me, it would be nice if Freya didn't do anything behind her back."
"Yongzhen, you and Xiaoyu first find a cave to camp nearby, and I'll try to find the frozen coordinates of Tire through space tracking."
Leaving Fenrir to guard Lu Xiao and monitor the surrounding environment, Yongzhen and Tamamozamae began to explore near the hills.
The continuous blizzards in Fimbull winter left thick snow hanging on the treetops.
After the Winter of Swords, the heavy snow only stopped for a few days, and now you can see fine snowflakes flying down from the sky again.
Nagamae and Tamamoae chose the opposite direction to Freya. They found a suitable cave on the northern edge of the hills and confirmed that there were no wild animals living in the cave.
After roughly cleaning up the gravel accumulated in the cave, Yongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "This is it. Let's go back and take Lu..."
"hold head high!"
A loud roar from the north interrupted Yongzhen's unfinished words.
Tamamo-mae's face changed slightly, and she vaguely heard intelligence in the roar. The owner of the roar seemed to be expressing his anger and unwillingness.
Yongzhen and Tamamozen walked out of the cave together, looking solemnly at the north side of the snow-covered hill.
"This roar...could it be a giant dragon?"
When the flying dragon that Baldr was riding fell before, Yongzhen, who was hiding in Tire's chamber, heard a similar roar. This time the dragon's roar was more powerful than the last scream of the flying dragon.
Flying dragons belong to the sub-dragon species. Although they have a certain amount of wisdom, they are still far behind real dragons. The wisdom of dragons in most fantasy worlds even exceeds that of humans.
"Why are there dragons around here?"
Yongzhen frowned in confusion: "Didn't Mimir say that the dragon clan has almost become extinct in Midgard after experiencing the dragon disaster?"
The so-called dragon disaster is not that the dragon clan encountered some kind of natural disaster that was difficult to resist, but that Asgard launched a massive crusade against the dragon clan.
The reason is that the dragons do many evil things and endanger the survival of mortals in Midgard.
In fact, this sentence is complete nonsense.
Dragons are indeed very territorial, but what they like to do most is sleep in their own caves.
If it weren't for humans breaking into the dragon's cave in an attempt to steal the treasure, the dragons wouldn't bother to interact with humans.
In order to add guilt, Odin found any reason to launch a large-scale attack on the Dragon Clan, which was still quite powerful at the time.
For humans, dragons are behemoths that are difficult to defeat, but in the eyes of the gods of Asgard, these large lizards are no more difficult to deal with than giants.
The ending of Dragon Disaster is very standard and in line with Asgard’s universal values.
Except for a few lone dragons living outside the territory, the entire dragon clan was almost slaughtered by Odin.
The underage dragon cubs were also captured by the Asaph clan and used as mounts to be tamed. Since then, adult dragons have almost never been seen in the Nine Realms.
When the dragon roar sounded, Lu Xiao was scanning the nearby space and time fluctuations with all his strength, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory.
"Um?"
When the incomprehensible roars of Yong Zhen and Tamamo Mae broke into Lu Xiao's ears, he was able to clearly understand each other's meaning.
"Damn Asaph! I must let you... ow!"
‘Aesir?’
Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Has our whereabouts been discovered?"
The eyes turned into golden pupils and looked towards the sky. Lu Xiao finally felt the vague gaze while activating the eagle pupils with all his strength.
"Clairvoyance, so that's it, is it Heimdall?"
As a clairvoyant, Lu Xiao roughly guessed the whole story after tracing the source of his gaze.
Heimdall's clairvoyance should have the special ability to see through all illusions, but it is not known whether he possesses it innately or with the help of external forces.
"I want to see if you can see through space."
Raising his hand to write a set of simple runes in the air, Lu Xiao's figure was isolated by the blocked space, and the sense of peeping that he could feel before suddenly disappeared.
Tamamo Mae's concealment is essentially an illusion. It's not surprising that Heimdall can see through it. Lu Xiao used space to cover it at this time. Heimdall's eyes cannot see through the space of the fault to see inside.
'Heimdall can see our whereabouts all the way, which means Odin also sees it.'
Lu Xiao touched his chin and thought silently, 'The death of Hodel should have taught Odin a lesson, and he will not waste chess pieces by randomly sending out gold medal fighters at the level of the Lord God. In other words...'
