Of course, Freya and Mimir heard the roar that resounded through the mountains and forests. Freya hurried back to the place where the boat landed to meet Lu Xiao.
Mimir: "What's going on? Who is asking for help? Are there dragons in Midgard?"
As the most erudite and wise man in the nine realms, Mimir is proficient in the languages of various ethnic groups. It is said that he has mastered hundreds of dialects and slangs, and dragon language is one of them.
Lu Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that the roar came from behind the mountain in the north."
"North..." Freya lowered her head and recalled: "I remember that the north of these hills is the secret treasure house of the dwarf Fafnir."
Hearing this, Mimi suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Ah~ Fafnir, it turns out it's him."
Mimir, who was trapped alone on the top of a mountain for countless years and finally escaped, has a tendency to become a talkative person. I don't know if it's because he talks a lot or because he's lonely.
When traveling with Lu Xiao, Yong Zhen and others, he would often tell stories to his traveling companions. He had already told the story about the dwarf Fafnir in advance.
There are two versions of Fafnir's story, one is the heroic legend version that is widely circulated in Midgard.
In this story, Fafnir is an extremely greedy dwarf who kills his father because he covets his father's treasure.
But these treasures named Nibelungs have actually been cursed for a long time, and the dwarf Fafnir was cursed and turned into a dragon that guarded the treasures.
At the end of this legend, Fafnir was defeated by the great Nordic hero Sigurd holding the divine sword Gram, but Sigurd was also cursed by the Nibelung treasure, and thus ushered in a miserable life.
This legend is widely circulated in the human world, but Mimir bluntly told Lu Xiao that this was just a story made up by people from Odin.
The purpose is naturally to promote how cruel the dragons are, and he also added Sigurd, a human hero who is regarded as the pride of Midgardians, in the story.
But in fact, the dragon Sigurd killed was another dragon. In the world view of God of War 4, Sigurd's life is far less Long Aotian than Asgard fabricated.
Lu Xiao personally asked the Valkyrie Commander Sigrun, and the answer she received surprised Lu Xiao. There is no high-level Valkyrie named Brynhildr in this world.
In other words, most of the heroic Sigurd stories in the God of War world were fabricated by Odin, and they were only widely circulated in Midgard to satisfy his political purposes.
The real story of Fafnir is actually very boring. It is nothing more than a money-hungry dwarf who accidentally touched a treasure that he should not touch, was cursed by Odin, and was randomly transformed into another species.
The only drama is that Fafnir was accidentally turned into an endangered dragon. From then on, he was bound by Odin in the treasure house to act as a guard dog, killing all intruders who dared to approach the treasure house.
"The so-called Fafnir treasure trove itself is a smoke bomb. The treasure trove Fafnir is forced to guard does not belong to him, but to someone else."
Mimir said disdainfully: "Although there is no 100% evidence, I think the treasure trove belongs to Odin. It is possible that he deliberately lured the money-hungry Fafnir into a trap, giving himself an additional treasure trove guardian without payment.
By."
Freya bit her lower lip with a cold face: "Odin is abusing the spells I taught him again!"
Sacrificing personal happiness to marry Odin was the worst choice Freya made in her life. After leaving Asgard to live alone, Freya regretted her reckless decision countless times.
For the sake of the Vanir clan, Freya made self-sacrifice, but her efforts failed to receive the rewards she deserved.
The tribe did not understand her and called her a traitor.
Asgard, which was regarded as its new home, was not as splendid as it appeared. There was a disgusting evil hidden in the secret, and the source came from Freya's husband, Odin, the King of Gods.
"Odin's treasury, the cursed watcher, the magic of the Vanir."
Lu Xiao's thinking was somewhat divergent, and he came up with a guess by piecing together these clues.
After looking at the Valkyrie armor and accessories that Freya had found from nowhere, Lu Xiao asked thoughtfully: "Freya, when you found your armor and weapons, did you find a way to get rid of Odin's curse?
?"
Freya did not answer Lu Xiao's question directly. She looked at him with some vigilance and asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Is it related to the current situation we are facing?"
"Maybe."
Lu Xiao thought about it for a while and decided to express his sudden whim.
"Even if you don't answer, I can guess your current state."
"You still haven't gotten rid of Odin's curse. The armor and weapons are not stored together with the key runes to break the curse, right?"
Mimir, the smartest person in the Nine Realms, guessed what Lu Xiao meant from his words: "Do you think the treasures guarded by Fafnir include the cursed rune stone that deprived Freya of her power?"
Freya's originally wary eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Lu Xiao with questioning and expectant eyes.
Lu Xiao nodded calmly: "That's what I guessed, but there is no actual evidence, it's just an inference."
Mimir turned his gaze to the sky: "Maybe we will get the answer soon."
"hold head high!"
A huge gray dragon flew crookedly in the sky, and Lu Xiao and Mimir could hear the meaning behind his painful roar.
"It hurts! I feel dizzy. Can anyone help me?"
"Kill! Destroy everything... No! My consciousness!"
Fafnir's mind seemed not to be clear, and there were great inconsistencies in his words.
Lu Xiao used her eagle eyes to see a black rune stone pillar stuck on the back of Fafnir's neck, which was engraved with complex runes.
By observing the arrangement of runes, Mimir gave the answer. The spell effect attached to this rune pillar is powerful mental control for a certain period of time.
As soon as the divine power injected into the rune stone is exhausted, the effect of the spell will disappear.
But before that happens, Fafnir, controlled by rune spells, will gradually enter a state of uncontrollable madness.
"Roar!"
As if someone was controlling the situation behind his back, Fafnir's orange-red dragon eyes looked straight in the direction of Lu Xiao and others.
To be precise, he was looking at Freya's location.
'It is indeed Odin who is up to something.'
"hold head high!"
When Fafnir swooped down, he breathed out dragon's breath flames from his mouth, and the snow and ice melted in the white hilly area.
The battle of Ragnarok is not far away, and Lu Xiao no longer has to hide it as tightly as before.
After evading Fafnir's dragon breath through teleportation, Lu Xiao ignored Freya's crisis response and raised his hand to set up a large mirror space in the hilly area.
Odin was holding a wine glass in his hand with great interest, waiting to watch the show in the Golden Palace. Suddenly, the mosaic bunny girl appeared in front of him, replacing the previous scene, and danced a hot pole dance in front of Odin.
Heimdall, who was responsible for providing images for Odin, was confused: "What's going on?!"
"Bang!"
The angry Odin threw the mead in his hand to the ground: "Damn it! Our spying has been discovered!"
lsp While Odin was venting his anger, his eyes still did not leave the hot bunny girl. He wanted to watch this distracting dance until the end.
Of course Lu Xiao was not doing it to benefit Odin. When the dance came to the end, the bunny girl whose face had been mosaic finally turned around, and the mosaic covering her face disappeared.
"M~ah~"
The rugged bearded man Thor blew a "charming" kiss to Odin, which was extremely lethal.
