Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 505: It’s okay to lie to your brothers, but don’t lie to yourself too.

Turin City, Royal Palace.

Looking at the body of the young dwarf with his head missing in the hall, the dwarf king couldn't help but burst into tears again.

It seems that because the object of the curse died, the power of the curse also disappeared, and his son was finally able to die as a dwarf.

Holding back the grief in his heart, the dwarf king found his son's old clothes and put them on carefully for his son, hoping to let his son retain this last bit of dignity.

But no matter how gorgeous his clothes were, he still couldn't hide his physical imperfections.

Because the body of the dwarf prince was incomplete. Not only was his right arm missing, but his chest was also empty.

Seeing the sad expression on the old dwarf king's face, Lorne couldn't bear it:

"Is that all?"

"Well, I asked Frey. Brachi and the others took away part of the body when they did it, saying they wanted to keep it as a souvenir of the dragon slaying."

Freya replied softly, her eyes flickering.

Lorne nodded and said no more.

Friends who often kill people know that actively destroying corpses is often done to cover up certain traces. Special parts usually have special purposes.

If his guess is correct, he probably already knows the true face of [Rheingold].

The meeting with the Dwarf King ended and it was already late at night.

After Lorne handed over the rest of the mess to Freya who was accompanying him, he moved to the small courtyard provided by the Chamber of Commerce, preparing to take a breather.

Since his teammates were still on their way back to Turin, the place seemed very quiet.

However, as soon as he entered the door, a lazy voice came from the courtyard:

"Back?"

A certain canine goddess with wolf ears and long brown hair is sitting comfortably on a chair, with two long smooth white legs raised on the table, gnawing an apple in her mouth, covered with dust. The jade feet swayed leisurely, completely treating this place as their own wolf den.

Lorne couldn't help but touch his face, which was not under illusion, and looked at Holo in surprise:

"You don't seem surprised?"

"Dad, you don't think your disguise is very clever, do you?"

Holo pointed to her beautiful nose, feeling quite proud.

Turns out it was because of the smell.

Lorne understood his omission, then shook his head and pulled away another chair, sat down across from the stone table, and raised his hand to rub his sore temples.

Seeing this, Holo dropped the core in her hand and asked:

"It seems like things didn't go well this time?"

"There was an accident."

Lorne replied in a deep voice, and then roughly told Holo what happened.

After listening to the narration, Holo frowned and asked:

“So, what exactly is [Rheingold]?”

"A ring."

Lorne took a sip of tea and answered leisurely.

According to the records of Nordic mythology, the dwarf Andvari owns a magical ring-[Andvaranot].

It means "Treasure of Andvari", also known as "Gold-attracting Ring", which has the magical ability to "make gold split and multiply" and "lead the holder to find gold mines".

Under the influence of this artifact, he accumulated a huge amount of wealth, but it also brought disaster.

-The great **** Odin took his treasure and ring and gave them to another dwarf as compensation for accidentally killing his son.

Yes, this dwarf is the father of the two brothers Fafnir and Regin, the unlucky man who was killed by two filial sons to seize the treasure.

After that, the two brothers Fafnir and Regin took the treasure and the ring and fled to the north, where they were captured by the Dulin family. In order to survive, they handed over the treasure. The magical ring that can explore gold mines and allow gold to divide and multiply also fell into the hands of the dwarf prince.

However, the Nordic world follows a universal law of destiny - everything has a price.

Although that [Gold-Absorbing Ring] can bring massive wealth to the holder, it also contains a terrible curse. Excessive use will lead to serious consequences.

For example, [Dragon Syndrome]!

If your guess is correct, this is probably the cause of the [Dragon Disaster] in the Dwarf Kingdom.

"Andvari..." Holo chewed the name in his mouth and muttered meaningfully, "We have been doing business with the dwarf country for so long, but we have never heard of such a person among the seven major clans."

As the goddess in charge of trade, if the dwarf country really has such a wealthy and powerful character, she should be impressed.

Immediately, Holo paused, picked up an apple, looked at his adoptive father, and said quietly:

"That [gold-attracting ring] sounds a bit familiar to us. However, it is not in the dwarf country, but in Asgard. The official name should be-"

"The Golden Ring of Dropnir..."

Lorne murmured, raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.

Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!

Legend has it that this thing is a symbol of wealth. It will replicate itself eight times every nine days, allowing the holder to have inexhaustible gold.

The original original was worn on the hand of his good brother Odin.

Looking at Holo who was still chewing the apple with relish after saying this, Lorne rubbed his sore temples:

"You guessed it a long time ago?"

"Almost."

Holo took a bite of the apple and looked at her adoptive father with a smile.

"Although that person did it perfectly and didn't leave any evidence, you taught us that whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious. The seven major dwarf clans have just shown signs of unification, and a war has swept across the entire dwarf country." The dragon disaster broke out immediately, and even the next heir died in this dragon disaster. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?

Moreover, we heard that the **** of poetry, Brachi, brought people to quell the dragon disaster this time with a condition - he wanted to marry Iden, and marry the dwarves on behalf of Asa. "

Lorne sighed: "Do you have to do this?"

"Otherwise, how can we hold the power of the dwarves in our hands?" Holo looked at the palace and said with a joking smile, "The kingdom has gone through great chaos, and his own son has died. The old dwarf king will probably be exhausted mentally and physically, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive. How long will it take for him to report to Hades? The **** of poetry, Brachi, who married Iden, will be the most legitimate heir to the dwarf kingdom."

"Killing the other party's son, forcibly marrying the other party's daughter, and annexing the other party's clan power is nothing more than murder and murder. This method is too cruel." Lorne shook his head and commented.

As a witness, he understands the hardships of the rise of the Asa Protoss. Therefore, he does not object to Odin's use of power to fight for the interests of his tribe, but there are some things that cannot be done too harshly.

"cruel?"

Holo heard the sound and looked at her adoptive father, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Dad, why do you think he is kind?"

Lorne opened his mouth, somewhat speechless, and could only retort bitterly:

"At least he wasn't like this before."

"No, he always does!"

Holo shook her head in denial and proved one by one.

“By exchanging hostages with the Warner Protoss through fraudulent means, the Warner Protoss lost three powerful main gods;

Spread rumors, provoke infighting between light elves and dark elves, and let them consume each other;

Using profits to coax the giants into building a fortress for the Asa Protoss, but then breaking the contract and killing them...these were all good deeds done by His Majesty the God-King.

And now, the Warner Protoss, the Elves, and the Giants have all been directly or indirectly weakened by him, and it is not surprising that it is the Dwarves' turn. "

Immediately, Holo looked at her adoptive father faintly:

"Dad, that's the kind of person he is. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. As long as someone blocks his way, it doesn't matter if he is kind or not.

It’s okay to lie to others about some things, but don’t end up deceiving yourself too. "
