The Warrior of Love

The three of them cut off the edible parts of the defeated monster, found some firewood in the nearby cedar forest, and used the tools in Da Vinci's "Universal Survival Belt" to make a fire and barbecue. After a hearty meal, they continued their journey, looking for traces of humans that have not yet appeared in this world.

By the way, Ritsuka and Mashu, who have struggled to survive in many singularities, actually have no resistance to Monster meat. Many times when food is insufficient, they have to rely on it to maintain their physical strength. After all, Fu Fu is the last reserve, and they cannot take it unless it is absolutely necessary.

They even gained experience from eating these monsters, knowing which parts of the meat are edible and which parts are poisonous, and they also summarized a set of simple and easy cooking methods...

Generally speaking, as long as the monsters are not too weird, such as "Watcher (Big Eyes)", they can barely accept it.

Not to mention Rider, she doesn't care even if it's raw meat, let alone "cooking".

The three of them began their journey on the land of ice and snow. Perhaps it was a change of luck, as the three of them, who had always had bad luck, encountered a human village after only two days.

From the initial surprise, to the doubts after discovering that they were all young people and children, and then being expelled as a "foreigner", and learning about the existence of the "blessing" ceremony from them.

After only half a day, the three were driven out and continued on their way in confusion and regret.

However, they had not walked far when someone caught up with them from behind. It turned out that some villagers were acting secretly without telling anyone.

"Are you the companions of that man?"

The person who came was a man, who seemed to be the oldest in the village. He looked at the three people not with hostility, but with some vigilance and curiosity.

"that person?"

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Lixiang's mind and he instantly thought of something.

"Who is it? Please tell me in detail!"

"That happened two days ago... When my brother and I and five other people were about to receive the 'blessing', that man appeared..."

Next, the man told Ritsuka and the others what had happened before from his perspective.

The young Master and the Sub-Servant looked at each other, and both had some guesses about the identity of "that person".

Looking at their expressions, the man realized something and knew that he had found the right person, so he let down his guard and smiled happily.

“That’s great… Actually, we held another ‘blessing’ after that, but it was interrupted again.

Although I don't know who it is, it seems that only that person would do such a thing... Unfortunately, the people in the village will not be grateful to him. To be honest, even we who were saved don't know how to face this.

But... well, after all, we were rescued twice in a row, so we decided to live well. Even if the people in the village don't understand us, we want to know what the "future" will be like!"

After saying that, he took out a long rectangular object from behind him, and after untying the cloth on the surface, his true appearance was revealed, which turned out to be an extremely sharp divine sword.

"Please return the sword to him."

"Uh..." Ritsuka looked at the sword seriously, thought for five seconds, and then shook his head slightly.

"No, my brother would not throw away a weapon on purpose. Since he did not take back the sword, he must have a use for it. Perhaps, he gave it to you."

"But such a precious thing..."

"If that's the case, then we should use it well."

Ritsuka smiled slightly: "The sword is not precious, what is precious is the things that need to be protected by the sword - this is what I learned from him."

“Really… I think I understand something, but… no matter what, I will cherish this sword!”

Putting away the sword, the man pointed in a direction: "In the past, when the angel left our village, he would go in that direction. There should be another village. We should be able to find it by following this road. The person you are looking for may also be there."

"Thank you!"

Ritsuka's mood suddenly brightened up: "Now I know what to do... Goodbye... Mashu, Rider, let's go!"

The man looked at the three people leaving, holding his sword and bowing his head for a long time.

As they headed towards the next village, Rider asked Ritsuka thoughtfully.

"What kind of man is your brother? He can defeat angels and kill giants without showing his face. He must be a very powerful guy...but you seem to be just an ordinary man."

"Yes, he is my proud brother! Although we are not related by blood, we are closer than real siblings."

Ritsuka said proudly, "And he's really good at fighting!"

"Oh, really? I'm starting to get curious."

Rider laughed nonchalantly: "I hope we can find him soon. I want to see what kind of guy he is."

"Do you care?"

"After hearing about such a powerful existence, any warrior would be curious."

"Ha, he seems to have said something like this before. What's the common problem among soldiers? Hehe."

Lixiang didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but suddenly he thought of something and started to wonder.

"He kidnapped an angel...what did he want to do?"

Moreover, it is said that these "angels" are all beautiful girls...

No, no, no, believe him!

Li Xiang shook his head and drove the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

"It should be to ask for information or something like that... for sure!"

Chapter 779: Rebellious Valkyrie

Will Jiang Liu ask for information?

Of course! That's why he spared the Valkyrie's life.

Unfortunately, as daughters of the great god Odin, the Valkyries have a strong will that ordinary people cannot match and will not succumb to Jiang Liu. They would rather be destroyed than betray the information of their monarch.

From this perspective, they are undoubtedly "inflexible" and "unresponsive to the times", but loyalty is a basic command that has been written into their souls since birth.

In fact, in Type-Moon's worldview, the "Valkyries" collectively referred to as Valkyries are not the "daughters of Odin" in the true sense, but "machines" created by Odin based on a certain powerful existence.

Although they do have flesh and bones, and are not made of alloy, their thinking logic and action patterns are clearly "mechanical".

However, Valkyries can download data from each other and have strong learning abilities, so they are not robots in the conventional sense and have the potential to "evolve".

"Early models" like Ortlinde, whose activity time is measured in thousands of years, have complete intelligence and self, but their manifestations are relatively weak for various reasons.

Before them, there was a "prototype" designed by Odin himself. It is said that she already has a "soul" like humans, but she has lost the connection with the Valkyries, so the Valkyries of the following generations cannot understand what kind of feelings she once had...

Ortlinde seems to admire that "sister" very much, and believes that the eldest Valkyrie is an unattainable and perfect existence, and the only one who has been granted freedom (exile) by the Father God.

Although the black-haired girl's tone was calm and indifferent, Jiang Liu could still hear her admiration and yearning.

Jiang Liu certainly knew who she was talking about. After all, whenever the eldest sister of Valkyrie was mentioned, one would definitely think of the famous "Brunhildr".

It's just that Jiang Liu has never met Brunhilde in this world, so he has nothing to say about Ortlinde. Li Xiang has met the Valkyrie, so if there is a chance, ask her about it.

The "collision" between the two worlds only had a one-month buffer period, and Chaldea spent a few more days modifying the spirit particle transfer device and preparing for the exploration of this world. Adding the time spent here... there was only half a month left.

At this point, he was unwilling to reunite with Ritsuka.

Anyway, as long as the connection between the Master and the Servant is still there, Ritsuka can summon him over at any time. Not doing so before was just to save Command Spells - after all, there is no support from Chaldea, and splitting the troops into two groups can better explore the world over a wider area.

However, this world is too vast, and Jiang Liu still hasn't found the crux of the problem, and he is already getting anxious.

It was a pity that he didn't come here in his real body, otherwise if he summoned the "White Horse", he could travel around the world in a day on the golden chariot. But obviously his spiritual base did not have enough magic power for him to waste like this.

By the way, although the spiritual base is only at the "main god level" and most of the equipment is left with the main body, Jiang Liu is now capable of fighting even if he encounters an opponent like Tiamat.

Because he brought a knife: [Divine Sword o Mandala].

One weapon is equivalent to countless divine tools. No matter what kind of difficulties and opponents you face, you can deal with them flexibly. Its power itself is also considerable!

After all, this knife theoretically has no upper limit. As long as it is supplied with earth essence, its power can be continuously improved, even to the point of cutting through stars!

——This time Jiang Liu only brought this knife, actually he had some other considerations.

If the collision of the two worlds cannot be prevented... Of course, Jiang Liu is trying his best to avoid this from happening.

And now, although not on the battlefield, Jiang Liu is indeed going to use this magic sword.

"Buzz!"

The moment Jiang Liu drew out the platinum divine sword, Ortlinde's eyes were immediately attracted by it.

"This is……"

The black-haired Valkyrie felt like she was about to suffocate: "I have never seen such a pure weapon!"

Jiang Liu glanced at her with a calm expression: "This was once the sword of a certain brave warrior... This sword can almost be said to be his clone. Such a brilliant brilliance was tempered through countless battles."

"What a nice view……"

Ortlinde was fascinated: "As a Valkyrie, I must take such a powerful warrior to Valhalla!"

After saying this, the Valkyrie suddenly remembered that the so-called "Hall of Valor" was no longer there, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

The "Hall of Valor" mentioned here is not the "Hall of Valor" that is independent of the timeline as we usually say, but the "gathering place of heroes" that appears in Norse mythology.

Norse mythology is a worldview with a strong sense of fatalism. The prophecies announced the end of the gods and the world long ago, but even so, the great god Odin did not give up the fight, but made many preparations to welcome the doomsday war.

In this process, the Valkyries called "Valkyries" were born.

They are Odin's "daughters" and his personal guards, responsible for patrolling the earth and guiding the souls of brave warriors on the battlefield, the so-called "heroes", to Valhalla in Asgard.

There, they spent the whole day drinking, practicing martial arts, and fighting, preparing for the moment of dusk.

Therefore, the Valkyries love warriors!

Of course, this kind of "love" has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but is similar to women's appreciation of jewelry, and workers' persistence in performance...

If it is linked to "love", then Ortlinde would have fallen hopelessly in love with Jiang Liu. After all, he is a hero who has saved the world many times and has a soul more dazzling than any other warrior.

Not only Ortlinde, but Jiang Liu himself also liked this magic sword very much. However, he was just fond of this indestructible magic weapon out of his sentimentality as a warrior.

At this time, he took out the magic sword, not to kill someone, but to find the "center" of this world.

puff!

Jiang Liu inserted the magic sword into the ground. The platinum blade created a strong wind that easily blew away the snow. The wide blade sank deeply into the rock layer.

"Buzz!"

Soon, wisps of earth energy swarmed in from all directions, surrounding the divine sword like a whirlpool. The scale of the energy was so huge that even Ortlinde could clearly feel it.

"With such a huge earth power...what are you going to do?" the Valkyrie asked in confusion.

"Find someone……"

Jiang Liu silently sensed the rhythm of the earth's veins, integrated his mental power into the magic sword, and continuously extended it outward along the earth.

Jiang Liu's idea was very simple: in this world where the great energy was about to run out, the so-called "goddess" could still protect so many humans. It was definitely impossible for her to rely solely on her own strength, otherwise, no matter how strong she was, she would have been exhausted to death long ago.

Since she was most likely using the power of the earth veins, all she had to do was find the place where the earth's spirit was most active.

Even if she has other sources of magic power, she will definitely build her own base on the spiritual vein. This is common sense in the Type-Moon world!

Nothing can attract the essence of the earth better than the magic sword. With the help of this magic sword, Jiang Liu's perception continues to expand at an almost unlimited speed, and in a trance it seems to cover the entire earth.

But at the same time, a large amount of energy was absorbed by the divine sword, and the direction of the earth veins was also distorted by it. The ground began to tremble slightly, the snow-capped mountains in the distance began to collapse, and cracks appeared on the ice...

Just like Prince Rama in the past, the plundering ability of the magic sword is too overbearing, and using it for too long may even threaten the safety of the planet.

Especially since this world is gradually coming to an end, it can't withstand the existence of something like the Divine Sword even more... This is also the reason why Jiang Liu didn't use the Divine Sword at the beginning.

After all, he came here just to save his own world, not to destroy the world of others.

As long as he could separate the two worlds, he didn't want to harm the indigenous people here, and could even provide them with help.

But there is not much time left, so he can only take a risk!

"found it!"

On the invisible boundary line, a huge ball of energy appeared in Jiang Liu's perception field, causing him to open his eyes wide in excitement.

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, once he found his target, he decisively drew out his magic sword and stopped plundering the earth's essence.

At this time, the divine sword was glowing with brilliance, and it was obvious that it had been "replenished" a lot.

The direction of the spiritual veins that were disrupted by it could not be restored in a short time, and even this small-scale earthquake continued for a while... Even if it did not last long, it brought irreparable damage to the earth.

Jiang Liu sighed slightly, feeling somewhat melancholy, but he soon cheered up, after all, he still had a mission to complete.

"You are free, Ortlinde."

Jiang Liu knew that the Valkyrie was only following orders and did not want to kill Ortlinde who had no power to resist. Now that he had found information that the enemy no longer needed her, Jiang Liu no longer needed her to follow him.

"Let's go..."
