The Warrior of Love

However, after a moment of silence, the Valkyrie shook her head slightly: "You are a dangerous person, I must keep an eye on you..."

"Huh?" Jiang Liu was slightly surprised.

Then, a hint of depression appeared on Ortlinde's delicate face: "Also, I have a problem now. I can't return to the team until it is resolved."

"Malfunction?" Jiang Liu scratched his head, wondering if it was because he hit too hard at the beginning?

"My computing center has a lot of wrong data..."

Ortlinde thought of the man who had chosen to go against tradition and stand up to protect his brother during the "blessing" ceremony.

"I don't understand... I can't comprehend why someone would act like that... It's not rational or wise."

This is the rule of this world. Both humans and Valkyries live by the rules.

It’s just that the life of a mortal is destined to be kept in captivity, while the life of a Valkyrie is controlled by commands and systems - there is no essential difference between the two.

They all submissively accepted their fate and passively chose their current life, which they thought was "natural".

Ortlinde had never doubted this kind of life before. Whether she was working under the father god before Ragnarok or was dominated by the goddess afterwards, she was an excellent and efficient "tool".

But now, after just a few days of contact with Jiang Liu, many contradictions and erroneous data appeared in her thinking circuits.

She couldn't understand why the man was protecting his brother, nor could she understand why Jiang Liu chose not to kill her and even wanted to let her go.

Perhaps this is the reason why humans, as lower creatures, cannot control their emotions, and it is also their biggest weakness. Valkyrie, as a perfect divine weapon, does not need such unnecessary things.

Perhaps, it was because of this that the "older sister" came into contact with humans that she did something against the Father God and was exiled.

This should be a taboo for the Valkyries, but Ortlinde longs for the eldest sister.

Ortlinde had a strange premonition that if she continued to follow Jiang Liu, perhaps she would be able to understand the various "weaknesses" of humans, and she would be able to get closer to the original Brunhilde.

and so--

"Please let me continue to monitor you." The black-haired Valkyrie stared at Jiang Liu with her ruby ​​eyes and said lightly.

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised and frowned instinctively, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was nothing and nodded indifferently.

"It's up to you."

Chapter 780: The Instigator

"We have a visitor."

The purple-haired beauty who was carving patterns on the rune plate suddenly raised her head and spoke softly to the empty place.

"It's a little later than expected, but fortunately, we are better prepared."

"Oh, your majesty is so cautious. With your divine power, do you really need to make preparations?"

A graceful and sexy woman walked out from an empty shadow corner.

She is clearly wearing an office lady outfit that reveals very little, but with that voluptuous body and naturally seductive demeanor, she is definitely a male killer.

She has extremely rare pink hair... and looks very similar to someone Jiang Liu knows.

However, apart from her image, her temperament and tone are completely different from those of the shrine maiden Xiaoyu. Her seductive and charming demeanor is completely different from that of the immature and naive shrine maiden fox.

In this world where ancient costumes are common, her modern outfit is really out of place. It is obvious at first glance that she is a suspicious person, but the purple queen doesn't seem to care.

Because she is both a "queen" and a "goddess".

He not only rules over mankind as the king of this land, but also commands the Valkyries as the final god.

In this world, she is the only "power holder" and the holder of power. Even if this suspicious woman is also hiding her true colors, she will never be her opponent - at least for now.

As the world continues to weaken, her strength is also declining. After all, there is no eternal seventeen-year-old girl in the world, and she is also gradually "aging".

When she loses her power, all the disasters that were previously suppressed will erupt and destroy the world.

Therefore, we must resolve these problems while we still have the power!

"Lady Skadi, please rest assured. I will do my best to help you resist the invasion from foreigners." The pink-haired OL said in a flattering and frivolous tone... To be honest, it didn't feel reliable at all.

"Gao Yanskaya... a mysterious woman. Even I cannot see through your past, but I can be sure that you are not someone who would help others out of kindness."

The purple-haired goddess Skadi closed her eyes, and then opened them again.

"Ophelia is an honest child, and you are different from her."

"honest?"

Gao Yanskaya sneered: "I am not trying to sow discord. Even though we are in the same camp now, sometimes I still feel bad for her deceiving you. Even I can't stand such shameless lies.

If you trust her completely, you will regret it, goddess!"

"I know that you have bad intentions, that Ophelia lied, and even that there is a conspiracy behind this crisis... but I don't care about these."

Skadi said calmly: "This world is about to collapse, and perhaps you are responsible for this, but no matter what, I have no choice but to cooperate with you.

Although Ophelia lied, the child felt guilty, which was proof of her honesty.

But you are different. You are like malice itself. Even though you look at the world from a playful and cruel perspective, you don't have the slightest bit of pity or hesitation... Therefore, you are a hundred times more dangerous than her."

Gao Yanskaya was silent for a moment, perhaps because her thoughts were revealed, or perhaps because she felt there was no reason to explain, but in any case she smiled.

“As expected of the bride of the gods, you are the goddess who has single-handedly kept the world going until today… However, although my suggestion was a little malicious, I respect the contract more than anyone else.

Business is business, and an agreement is an agreement. Once the agreement is signed, I will do my best to help you. This is not an empty promise. Of course, after that, you have to fulfill your promise. "

"Is it still the same thing?"

Skadi said coldly: "After doing so much, all you asked for was a corpse. It's really curious."

"Oh, please forgive me for that. I really care about that treasure. Although it is just a "corpse" in your eyes, it is a very valuable treasure with collection value in my eyes."

Gao Yanskaya laughed happily: "As long as we are prepared, I will do my best to stop the Chaldeans in order to be worthy of the reward."

"According to the contract, once the Chaldean attack is repelled, I will hand over the so-called body of the "squirrel" to you."

Skadi frowned slightly: "I still find it incredible how a corpse can be used. What's more, the remaining part can't even be considered a corpse, but just wreckage."

"Don't worry about that."

Gao Yanskaya covered her mouth and chuckled, "Just think of me as a collector with special hobbies."

"Forget it, as long as the contents of the contract remain unchanged... Come to think of it, when this wreckage was alive, it was a replica of you, Koyanskaya."

Skadi narrowed her eyes and looked at her deeply: "You are such a sharp-tongued person."

"Oh my, thank you for the compliment. Compared to my senior who was able to stir up Ragnarok, I still have a lot to learn!"

The pink-haired OL smiled as bright as a flower, and it seemed that all she got from Skadi was blessings.

In Norse mythology, there are three creatures living on the World Tree: Vedfolnir, the eagle on the top of the tree, Nidhogg, the poisonous dragon at the root of the tree, and Ratatosk, the squirrel running between the two places.

It is said that Ratatosk is a master at sowing discord, and even his real name means "sharp-tongued".

It ran between the treetops and roots all day long, trying to sow hatred between the eagle and the poisonous dragon.

The poisonous dragon Nidhogg is the one that gnaws at the world tree and announces the coming of Ragnarok, so the status of this squirrel in mythology has become increasingly important.

However, that is a matter of mythological heritage, and this is the real world.

In this world, squirrels, as a unique fantasy species, had already died in the fire of Ragnarok, leaving only a few remains.

Gao Yanskaya asked for its corpse as a reward, perhaps simply because she felt that this guy had a high degree of compatibility with herself. As for what she wanted to do with the corpse... that is unknown.

"Then let us go and greet our guests."

The queen pulled out a small magic wand from thin air and waved it twice like a teacher's teaching stick. Suddenly, a series of runes appeared out of thin air, and then the "pillars" on both sides of the palace shed their gray disguises and turned into crystal icicles.

Valkyries like Ortlinde are sleeping in the icicles...

Chapter 781: Contradictory Fate

In mythology, the number of Valkyries has always been uncertain. There are a total of thirteen Valkyries appearing in "Edda" and nine in "The Song of the Nibelungs". However, there are also claims that there are many Valkyries, but not many of them have names.

In the Type-Moon world, the number of Valkyries varies depending on their "type".

First is the "prototype", a puppet made by the great god Odin himself, based on the remains of the white giant god that once swept the world (by the way, the great god and Bu Jie have the same voice actor). Both the performance and potential are extraordinary, and it is also the most malleable;

Then there is the "Next Generation". They are the Valkyries born after Brunhilde. Their values ​​in all aspects are slightly lower but they are more balanced and more stable. They are Odin's most outstanding daughters, and each of them has her own true name.

The last one is the "mass production type", a simplified version developed to prepare for the coming of Ragnarok. Although it is still very powerful, it has almost no potential.

The prototype is unique, there are nine in the next generation, and more than a hundred in the production version.

But that was the time when the Age of Gods was still strong. After the fire of Ragnarok, almost all the Valkyries died in that battle, and not many remained.

There are only three Valkyries with real names left, and after Skadi's thousand-year restoration project, the number of mass-produced ones has been restored to more than forty.

Normally, in order to save magic power, the Valkyries would hibernate in ice coffins. Only one next-generation Valkyrie and about ten mass-produced ones were assigned various tasks by Skadi.

A few days ago, Ortlinde, who was out on a mission, lost contact, and Skadi knew that she must have encountered an enemy from another world, but she did not send reinforcements because she did not know whether Ortlinde was alive or dead, nor could she predict the enemy's strength.

The opponent is not some random person who can be easily dealt with, but a strong man who can fight head-on with her, the goddess!

Not only had Ophelia reminded her of this, but even Gao Yanskaya, who had an ambiguous attitude, had seriously warned her.

More importantly, the future predicted by Skadi also showed that she would be defeated by the opponent.

Skadi is not afraid of death, but she has a mission that she cannot abandon. As the last protector, she must live for the continuation of this world!

So, she will go all out to meet the other party!

"Wake up, my daughters."

Skadi is the mother goddess of this earth. In her eyes, all humans are her children, even Valkyrie is no exception.

"Hold your swords and shields, this palace is welcoming guests after a long absence."

Click, click, click…

Cracks appeared on the crystal pillar, and finally shattered into countless ice crystals. The Valkyries slowly opened their eyes.

Although their hair colors and facial features are different, the aura they give off is very similar, and like Ortlinde, they have a mechanical side.

[Yes, the person with the first authority: Lady Skadi.]

The Valkyries responded in unison, but they did not call the purple-haired goddess "Mother".

Two crystal pillars were broken later, and these two were able to open their eyes only after the rest of the Valkyries had awakened.

The magic power vibrated slightly, the crystal column suddenly collapsed, misty ice crystal fragments fell down, and a sacred and majestic beautiful girl walked out of the mist.

One of them has long pink hair, a calm and amiable demeanor, and seems more lively than her sisters.

The other one, on the other hand, was as serious as a queen, with a transcendent divinity shining in her indifferent eyes. She was the one closest to a god among the many Valkyries, and her long, dazzling golden hair was particularly eye-catching.

"Type X: 001, operation name "Slud"."

"Type X: 003, operation name "Hilde"."

Two Valkyries who were in the same action sequence as Ortlinde saluted respectfully to Skadi.

"Please give the order, Master Skadi."

-

Following the network of earth veins, Jiang Liu finally arrived at a towering snow-capped mountain. This place served as the center where the last spiritual veins of the world gathered. It also mobilized magical power through the terrain, turning it into an impregnable fortress.

The entire snow mountain is shrouded in a barrier against spirits. Except for the Valkyries who possess the "Mark", ordinary servants may not even be able to enter!

Of course, Jiang Liu was not an ordinary servant. If he wanted to, there was no barrier in the world that could stop him. However, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he climbed up the ridge step by step honestly.

He believed that the other party should have known of his arrival, and he chose to climb the mountain in this way to give the other party time to think and respond.

Since ancient times, countless contradictions and conflicts have been caused by mutual suspicion. Jiang Liu came to this world without any malice. He did not want to conquer this place or plunder anything. He just wanted to prevent the collision of the two worlds.

Logically speaking, this is also the case for the indigenous people, who should also be trying to avoid their own demise. Let alone conflicts, the two sides have the same interests!

Although Jiang Liu couldn't stand some things in this world, such as the "blessing" ceremony...

But he is not from this world. Living in a world rich in resources, he has no right to blame the rulers here.

If he sees someone in need, if he meets someone who reaches out to him for help, he will respond without hesitation, but there is not much he can do for this struggling world.

Now, he has no direct conflict with the aboriginal "goddess", and both sides are in a cooperative position. If possible, Jiang Liu hopes to form an alliance to deal with this crisis together.

Even if the other party does not agree, he must obtain the intelligence and find out what is distorted in this world.

After all, no matter what, the other party is a "God" who has ruled this world for thousands of years. It is impossible for him not to know where the problem lies, right?
