Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 479

c473 Hush, can we reconcile?

At night, Asgard.

The towering golden palace was brightly lit, and the aroma of mead and food filled the air. The triumphant warriors of Asgard and the god king Odin gathered in the palace, laughing, singing, and toasting together to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Hundreds of years have passed since the war between the Vanir and the Aesir.

Asgard was born with deficiencies and lacked foundation, and it was defeated in succession at first.

During this period, the nine kingdoms under the rule of Asgard were also restless.

The frost giants and mountain giants of Jotunheim, and the fire giants of Muspelheim, invaded one after another; the dark elves of Alfheim repeatedly made trouble, and the light elves turned against them; even the dwarf clans of the Dwarf Kingdom began to pretend to obey…

Faced with the smoke of war and the step-by-step pressure of the Vanir, they even thought that the Aesir would become history.

But in the end, they still survived and welcomed the arrival of a miracle.

Their god king Odin cultivated a powerful existence that restrained the life divinity of Vana, the goddess of death Hela, and led the army of Asgard to regain their spirits and regain lost territory step by step;

Their god of fire and trickery successively defeated the two giant kings of Jotunheim and Muspelheim, and firmly contained the powerful enemies of several kingdoms outside the courtyard.

Now, the two armies are triumphant and have won many battles. The situation has been completely reversed.

It will not be long before they can completely recapture Vanaheim, drive those foreigners out of this world, and rebuild the glory of the Asgard.

The warriors were daydreaming and toasting, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, Odin frowned as he looked at the two empty thrones under the throne.

At this moment, the Garden of Eternal Years.

This is the most sacred and pure place in Asgard, because the world tree that supports the nine kingdoms grows in it.

The Holy Spring of Urd flowing from the roots of the World Tree and the dewdrops condensed and dripping on the branches and leaves moistened the land here, and then gave birth to a sacred garden that will last forever.

As the first ranger of the World Tree, when Lorne was idle in Asgard, he would patrol the garden almost every day as usual.

So, in a sense, this place is also his private territory.

The night was filled with moonlight, and the stars sprinkled in every corner of the garden, covering this quiet space with a layer of silver yarn. Fireflies began to flicker in the grass, like elves holding lanterns, leading the secrets of the night. At this time, the garden seemed to have entered another dream, quiet and profound, making people feel awe and full of yearning.

After a long separation, Lorne held the hand of his student Hela and strolled on the path they often walked. There was a fine gravel road under their feet, and on both sides were bushes neatly trimmed by maids. Occasionally, they could see a few late-blooming flowers, which bloomed quietly in the night, exuding a faint fragrance, adding a bit of mystery and romance to everything.

Hela listened to her teacher talking about the fun things in Asgard in the past, but she was inexplicably absent-minded. From time to time, she turned her eyes and quietly looked at the side face beside her.

The soft moonlight reflected half of his handsome outline, and his three-dimensional facial features exuded a calm and charming atmosphere.

Like a poet, a wise man, a warrior, a king…

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing!”

Haila, who was caught red-handed, shook her head and denied it. Then she looked around and pointed at a bunch of beautiful roses in the garden as if she had found a life-saving straw and answered hastily,

“I’m looking at it, it’s beautiful!”

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed student, Lorne couldn’t help but smile:

“You’ve grown up so big, but you still haven’t learned to lie.”

Just as Haila wanted to defend herself, Lorne raised his hand and broke off the bunch of beautiful roses, and handed it to his student with a smile:

“If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

Hila subconsciously took the bunch of flowers, and a warmth flowed in her heart that had been silent for many years.

It’s great that the teacher hasn’t changed at all over the years.

Looking at his student who was distracted again, Lorne touched the grown head and reminded him with a chuckle:

“Don’t just stare blankly. Remember to find a bottle to put it in and regularly water it with water from the Holy Spring of Urd. It can live for a long time.”

Hela nodded, thinking about what kind of vase would be worthy of the gift from her teacher.

However, the next moment.

The rose in her hand quickly withered and rotted, and the leaves and petals continued to fall. In the blink of an eye, there was only a pool of gray-black residue in her palm.

Seeing this abnormality, Lorne’s eyes condensed and stretched out his hand:

“What’s going on? Let me see!”

“Don’t touch me!”

Accompanied by a panicked cry, Hela subconsciously waved to open Lorne’s outstretched arm.

It seemed that because of excessive emotion, the surging black death energy gushed out of her body uncontrollably, contacting her skin and flesh, forming bursts of white smoke burning with sulfuric acid.

“Ah~~!”

Hela covered her face in pain, like a wounded animal in a panic, turned her head and plunged into the flowers, using the cover of the plants to rush into the deep shade.

But the boiling death energy on her body made the flowers along the way wither one after another, and it was impossible to cover her whereabouts.

Not long after, Luo En followed the traces and found Hela, who was curled up with her hands on her chest behind a shrub with withered branches and leaves.

Hela couldn’t help trembling when she heard the footsteps behind her, and there was a hint of panic and pleading in her voice:

“Teacher, don’t come over…”

Lorne did not stop, but instead sped up, hugged the student who was trying to escape from behind, lowered his head, and whispered softly:

“As long as I’m here, it’ll be okay.”

It seemed that the comfort had an effect. Hela gradually stopped shivering, her breathing became steady, and the deathly aura around her was taken back into her body.

However, she still didn’t want to turn around.

Lorne was a little worried. He pressed Hela’s shoulders with both hands and twisted the student’s body domineeringly.

“No! It’s so ugly…”

Hela hurriedly raised her sleeves, trying to use the leather on her body to cover her current appearance.

However, after the wild run just now, the clothes on her body were already riddled with holes from the erosion of the dead air and the hooks of the flower branches, making it impossible to form an effective shelter at all.

Under the bright moonlight, the appearance of the goddess of death at this moment was completely exposed to Lorne’s eyes.

Half of her skin was as crystal clear as jade, and her face was as cold and beautiful as ever, showing full of vitality. However, the other half of her cheeks had lost all its flesh and blood, revealing dense white bones, showing a strange look of death.

Facing his most respected and favorite teacher in this manner, Hai La’s face was ashen and his body was trembling uncontrollably:

“It’s ugly, isn’t it…”

“No, it’s very unique.”

Lorne raised his hand and gently held the half-skeleton, half-blood cheek, and spoke in a warm voice. There was no trace of disgust in his eyes, only the familiar calmness and gentleness.

At this moment, as always.

“Teacher~!”

Hela’s nose felt sore inexplicably, and she plunged into the warm embrace, shrugging her shoulders and sobbing sadly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and fears.

Lorne didn’t speak, he just held Hela tightly in his arms and patted the student’s back.

After a full quarter of an hour, after confirming that Hela’s mood had stabilized, he opened his mouth to ask:

“Is it a sequelae of the birth?”

“Um……”

Hela pursed her lips and nodded, recounting her experiences over the years.

At first, due to the emergency of the war, her biological father Odin came to Heather Island, took her back to the fairy palace, and used secret methods to induce her birth, hoping that she could grow up immediately and help Asa fight against the invasion of the Vanir gods.

The result was very successful. She possessed a powerful power of death and perfectly restrained the life divinity of the Warner Protoss.

The Said witchcraft that the Vanir people were proud of completely failed in her hands, and they were defeated step by step.

However, everything has a price.

This powerful power of death is not something she can easily control.

While using this power, her own vitality and flesh will be eroded by it, gradually becoming this terrifying half-human, half-skeleton appearance.

Gradually, as her power of death became more powerful, even her contact with others became lethal.

Any life that comes into contact with her will wither, decay, and die.

No matter whether it is plants, animals, humans, or gods…

To this end, her biological father Odin ordered dwarf craftsmen to build a special suit for her. The runes engraved on it were used to balance the power of life and death in her body.

But tonight, in order to celebrate her reunion with her teacher in the best possible way, she couldn’t help but take off the obstructive armor and put on more comfortable and gorgeous clothes.

I thought that after these years of experience, she would be able to control the power of death in her body.

However, this power in her body was far more powerful than she expected, eventually causing her to lose control and expose herself to such an ugly appearance in front of her teacher.

After hearing this, Lorne looked at Hela now and sighed helplessly:

“Didn’t you agree to wait for me to come back?”

“I want to help you…”

Hela pursed her lips, lowered her head and spoke her mind,

“It feels very bad to see you risk yourself on the battlefield again and again, but I can’t do anything to help you. So, I want to become stronger! As long as I can be strong enough to change the situation of the battle, I can do it for you. Share the stress so you don’t have to work so hard.

I originally wanted to rely on my own strength to deal with the Warner Protoss as soon as possible and personally lead the troops to the southern border to support you. As long as I can help the teacher, this price is nothing. ”

As he said that, Hela looked up at Lorne, with a trace of confusion and loss in her eyes.

“But I didn’t expect that you would put down the rebellion of Surtur and the Fire Giant so quickly, without my intervention at all.”

“No, you’ve already been a big help.”

Lorne shook his head and retorted with a solemn expression.

“Without your intervention, Odin would not have been able to win this war with the Warner Protoss. Instead, he might have been invaded by the Warners into the Asa God’s Domain. Once the Rainbow Bridge changes ownership, the Warner Protoss can transport troops to various countries at will. But at that time, if they join forces with the fire giant clan, I will be attacked from both sides, and there will be no good end.

Therefore, it was you who blocked the threat from behind for me and allowed Asa to survive this crisis.

You are amazing and worthy of being my most outstanding student! ”

Hela couldn’t believe it when she heard the teacher’s praise: “Really?”

“Of course! When have I ever lied to you?” Lorne promised firmly and gently touched Hela’s head.

“But, I’m… so ugly now…” Hela looked at half of her body that had turned into white bones, with a trace of frustration and loss in her eyes.

It is a woman’s nature to love beauty.

Especially in front of the people she respects and loves the most, she pays more attention to her image.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll help you.” Lorne smiled slightly, bit his index finger, and used divine blood as ink to carve runes around Hela.

The rich vitality was extracted from the Ten Thousand Years Garden and turned into thousands of golden-green light spots, pouring into Hela’s body.

Internal organs, flesh and blood, and meridians gradually grow in that half of the bones.

However, because the power of death in Hela’s body is very powerful, it will come out from time to time, slowing down the recovery process.

“It might take some time, let’s get some sleep first.”

Lorne tapped Hela’s eyebrows lightly, and the power of Dionysus [Intoxication] sent his student into sleep.

Hela among the flowers had a smile on her lips and fell into a deep sleep. The golden-green light slowly regenerated her flesh and blood, reappearing the appearance of a goddess.

After Luo En finished sketching the last rune, he stood up from the ground and the smile on his face faded.

Using the vitality of the Ten Thousand Years Garden to make her bones grow flesh is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Once Hela’s power breaks through her own limits again, the power of death will still corrode the flesh and vitality in her body, turning her into that half-human, half-skeleton appearance again.

The best way is to let her find a way to master this power.

But before that, there are still accounts to be settled.

Lorne looked up at the brightly lit Golden Palace with a cold expression on his face.

At the same time, Odin, who was standing in the corridor blowing the wind, felt an inexplicable chill coming over him. Some kind of foreboding feeling like a light on his back made him wake up from the alcohol in his body.

“Okay, go ahead and drink by yourselves. I am a little tired and need to go back and rest first.”

Odin waved his hand and said goodbye to everyone at the reception, then left the temple and walked towards his palace.

For some reason, he always felt a little frightened along the way, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness.

Finally, when he arrived at his destination and opened the door to the palace, Odin confirmed his perception.

Yes, there are indeed people!

Odin stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, then looked up at the goddess Warner in the bedroom with long golden hair shawl and an elegant dress:

“Frigga? How dare you come to Asgard!”

As he spoke, the God King Asa immediately summoned the Eternal Spear, staring coldly at the uninvited guest who quietly sneaked into his palace with one eye.

“Don’t be nervous, I don’t have any ill intentions, I’m just here to negotiate.”

Frigga spread her hands to indicate that she was not carrying weapons, then looked at Odin outside the door, and vaguely explained her purpose.

“How about we make peace?”

When Odin heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer:

“Reconciliation? Are you joking at this moment?”

“Continuing to fight will do us no good.”

“Are you afraid? I thought you wanted to wait until I captured Vanaheim before begging for mercy!”

“I have to admit that your daughter Hela has indeed caused a lot of damage to our Warner. With her around, it is indeed difficult for us to defend Warnerheim.”

Frigga answered calmly, then changed the subject.

“But don’t think that just based on these, Asa will be the final winner. The Warner Protoss has come here as a drifter. We can occupy this land, or we can escape into the Sea of ​​Chaos at any time and continue our painful journey. Before I leave, I will destroy everything so that you can get nothing.”

Odin couldn’t help but froze when he heard these desperate remarks.

Indeed, as outsiders, the Warner Protoss can run away, but they, the Asa Protoss, as aborigines, cannot.

Seeing that Odin had calmed down a bit, Frigga suggested in a deep voice:

“Since it won’t do anyone any good to continue fighting, why don’t we talk?”

“What to talk about?”

Odin sneered, showing disdain,

“What qualifications do you Warner have to negotiate with this king now?”

“The light you want…”

Frigga spoke slowly, her eyes far and deep,

“Warner’s goddess is the most excellent mother body. I can give birth to a powerful bright blood descendant for you, so that Asa can achieve glory!”

The unexpected answer made Odin’s pupils shrink suddenly, and a wave of turmoil arose in his mind.

According to the prophecy of the three goddesses Norn, Asa’s divine industry will rise in flames, be powerful in thunder, and be eternal in light!

Could it be that this woman is the opportunity that Asa needs to find to achieve his glorious career?

But, how does she know this?

“Don’t think that you are the only one who can see the future clearly. I can also learn about the revelation of destiny through divination.”

Frigga spoke proudly, then softened her tone and looked at Odin outside the door,

“So, can we talk now, Your Majesty?”

Odin pondered for a moment, his one eye flickered slightly, then he retracted the Eternal Spear, got up and stepped into the palace.
