Niord, the Vanir God King, never puts on airs in front of his people, and the tree house he lives in is not any more upscale than others.
The news of Freya's return soon spread throughout the city, and many curious Warners gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Everyone, please give way!"
Niold's familiar voice came from behind the crowd. The anxious Queen Nasus cast a spell to separate the crowd in front of her to both sides, and finally saw her daughter after thousands of years of absence.
Niord's expression was a little complicated, but he did not rebuke the uneasy Freya.
Nassus and Frey rushed forward first, holding Freya's hands one on the left and the other on the right to greet her.
Niord opened his mouth several times to say something, but failed every time.
Finally, he sighed, followed his wife and son to Freya, and patted her shoulder gently.
"Anyway, just come back."
"However, you owe me and your people an explanation."
The long-lost warmth of family affection made Freya almost unable to control her emotions, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Yes...Father, I will explain it clearly from the beginning."
Lu Xiao had no intention of intervening in Niord and Freya's family ethics drama. Just as he was about to turn around and head to the tavern in the city to kill time, Niord suddenly took the initiative to stop him.
"Your Excellency Lu Xiao, please come with us. Please help us clarify our thoughts as a bystander."
…
Freya kept her promise and told her parents and brother exactly what she had experienced over the years, including the causes and consequences of Balder's death.
Just as Lu Xiao expected, Niord and Frey didn't care at all about Baldr's death. They didn't think Baldr was a member of the Vanir at all.
Of course, Badr himself didn't think so either.
From the perspective of a mother, Nasus could understand Freya's feelings of losing her son, but the Queen did not hate Lu Xiao because of this.
After all, the Niord family is very unfamiliar with Balder, who has never been to Vanaheim, so naturally there is no relationship between them.
"I understand the general situation."
Niold closed his eyes and sorted out the information: "As I expected, it was Odin who was behind this."
"He used your name to forge letters and send them to Vanaheim, and at the same time forged our letters to give to you, making you mistakenly believe that all the tribesmen would find it difficult to accept your 'betrayal'."
Under Niold's instructions, Frey dug out a pile of rune tablets from the tree house, with many words densely engraved on them.
"this……"
Freya looked through the slate faster and faster, and her expression became frightened and angry.
"This is definitely not a letter I wrote!"
With Niord's approval, Lu Xiao took part of the letter and scanned the contents.
Most of the content in the letter triumphantly describes the magnificent beauty of Asgard, exaggerates the quality and friendliness of the Asaph clan, and mocks his hometown as just the countryside.
From a certain perspective, the way of life of the Vanir clan makes it easy for people to think that this place is in the countryside.
Lu Xiao didn't dislike this attitude towards life, he just couldn't accept the Warner Protoss' unscrupulous views on mate selection.
In comparison, Asgard is more in line with the concept of "civilization" in most people's minds. As for the quality of the people... this is a matter of opinion.
At least Lu Xiao doesn't think that old boy Odin is very good.
Niord continued: "At first, the letter from Odin was normal. As time went by, the tone of the letter became more and more arrogant, and I gradually began to realize that something was wrong."
Freya gritted her teeth and took out a piece of animal skin from her body, unfolded it and placed it in front of Niord.
"So, father, this letter shouldn't be written by you, right?"
Niord picked up the animal skin and took a look at it, and immediately frowned.
"absurd!"
Njord, with an angry face on his face, shouted: "How could I possibly write a letter of severance to my daughter! That thief Odin still likes to play these unspeakable tricks!"
"really……"
Freya's expression was very gloomy. It was precisely because of this forged letter that she had always felt that she had been abandoned by her family and tribe, and could only place all her hopes on her new home, Asgard.
After actually returning to Vanaheim to experience it for herself, Freya discovered that this was not the case at all.
Odin used both sides to forge contacts, taking advantage of the asymmetry in intelligence to deceive Freya and Niord at the same time, and then relied on his sweet words and role as a model husband to defraud Freya of the magical secrets of the Vanir.
"Damn Odin!"
Frey, who was dashing and handsome, punched the floor of the tree house hard.
"Had I known that things would evolve to this point, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to your marriage to Asgard!"
A sad smile appeared on Freya's face: "Brother, let everything in the past pass, but this hatred..."
With an icy cold light flashing in her eyes, Freya gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I will definitely get it back from Odin a thousand times!"
…
Originally, Lu Xiao only brought Freya back to his hometown out of apology, but unexpectedly it caused a lot of twists and turns.
For Freya's family, resolving their knots and misunderstandings is the most important thing, and Freya, who has lost everything, can rely on her again.
Although the Warner Clan are Buddhists, they are not without temper.
The tricks Odin has played for thousands of years have made Niord's family of four furious.
The latest letter was brought by the forest god Vader when the winter of Fimbul had just begun.
The letter persuaded the Warner Protoss to join Asgard's camp, destroy the evil giants together, and divide the giants' treasures.
Niord had long been aware of the problem with the letter and had been vague about Vader's request for alliance.
Lu Xiao came to Vanahem on the back foot, giving Niord another option.
Niord, who was already dissatisfied with Odin and Asgard, agreed to the giant's alliance request after some consideration.
Overthrowing Asgard is obviously more profitable for the Vanir than destroying the giants.
Freya's return solved the long-standing questions in Niord's mind. Even if it were not for the benefit of the Vanir Clan, the miserable treatment his daughter had suffered over the years was enough to make the old father angry.
If Niord had previously planned to guard against the giant stabbing him in the back, Freya's arrival made him completely put aside his worries and determined to destroy Asgard and kill Odin to avenge his daughter.
'The result is pretty good. This trip was not in vain.'
Lu Xiao is just a supporting role in this family meeting. As an outsider, he can analyze Odin's goals and means more calmly and objectively, and plays a role in the conversation.
Reunited with her family after a long absence, Freya decided to stay in Vanaheim before the start of Ragnarok, and rush back to Midgard to join the Valkyrie the night before the official war began.
After this heart-to-heart talk, Odin firmly grasped Freya's hatred.
The warmth gained from his family also further diluted the blow caused by Balder's death to Freya... However, Frey's enthusiasm obviously went beyond the scope of his family, which troubled Freya quite a bit, and Lu Xiao felt even more about it.
Can not accept.
'My dear sister...orthopedics brother.'
"Cough~"
Lu Xiao coughed and interrupted Frey's endless concern: "God King, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Hold on."
Niold sent an animal skin letter to Lu Xiao on the spot: "Excuse me, please help me bring this letter to the Giant King Yohemi. I will increase the intensity of the attack on the first day of the war. Please do this."
