I really didn't want to burn it.

The Valkyrie was about to greet them when she was interrupted by the giants.

"Ugh, so noisy and annoying!"

The Valkyrie angrily pointed her spear at the giants who were still alive.

"Suffer death!"

With a new target, the Valkyrie no longer toyed with the giants as before, but instead killed them all as quickly as possible.

This wasn't too difficult for the Valkyries, as these giants were simply low-level beings in Jotunheim and generally not very strong.

If Li Ang weren't in such a terrible state, he could have wiped out the entire area with a single move.

After killing the giants, the Valkyrie descended in front of Li Ang and his two companions.

"I am the Valkyrie Gershkogur!"

The Valkyrie Gershkogur introduced herself to Li Ang and the other two in a stern voice.

"So it's Jeersi Kogur..."

Li Ang nodded; he knew who this Valkyrie was.

The name Jersikorgur means "the moment of spear throwing," no wonder the opponent threw the spear so skillfully.

Jeersikorgur continued to ask Li Ang, "Excuse me, are you outsiders?"

"Outsiders?"

Mashu showed a curious expression when faced with Gershkogur's question.

“Well…we’re kind of outsiders, I guess,” Li Ang said, scratching his head. “I went to the outer realms and then brought the two of them back here.”

Ritsuka glanced at Li Ang and discovered that Li Ang was secretly giving her hand signals.

"Don't reveal your full identity? This man is spouting nonsense again. Hopefully, this time he won't mistake me or Mashu for his fiancée."

Ritsuka rolled her eyes at the man, then took a step back and quietly watched him show off.

"From outer realms?"

Jeersikorgur looked somewhat disappointed.

According to Lady Skadi, the outsiders she is looking for are people from other dimensions. If these three people are just from Northern Europe, they should not be the people she is looking for.

"Excuse me, what's wrong?"

Li Ang asked the Valkyrie.

Jeersikorgul shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, it's my own task, please don't worry about it."

“Um… Miss Gershikogur,” Li Ang asked hesitantly, sounding a little embarrassed, “could you please show us the way?”

"Hey?"

"I haven't been back for so long, and I got lost in the forest after disembarking," Li Ang said, deliberately adopting a pitiful tone. "So, could you please show me the way?"

"This one……"

Jeersikorgur hesitated; she still had a mission to complete. But it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse outright when the other party made such a request.

Li Ang then said in an understanding tone, "It doesn't have to be very far, just take us to the nearest village."

"All right……"

Jeersikorgul nodded, reluctantly agreeing.

This time, Li Ang adopted a relieved tone: "Thank you so much. To be honest, our weapons take a long time to be used again after being used once. If we encounter giants again, it could be really dangerous."

"I see... I understand."

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Jersikkogur, who felt slightly guilty, immediately softened her attitude considerably.

Since someone used their life-saving weapon to help her, she definitely had to repay them in some way.

"Then, please come with me."

Jereshkogur folded his wings and walked to the front of the group.

“I will take you to the nearest village.”

"Okay, thank you so much."

Li Ang smiled shyly.

"No, this is what I should do."

Unbeknownst to Jeersikorgur, as she turned away, the "weak" traveler revealed a smug smile, as if his cunning scheme had succeeded.

Mash and Ritsuka, noticing the change in Li Ang's expression, exchanged a glance and both shook their heads helplessly.

Oh well, let this man be happy.

The Chaldean duo immediately reached a consensus.

【Host, you are really too wicked.】

The system, as always, condemned Li Ang's actions.

All's fair in war.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows smugly. During their conversation, he deliberately exploited the Valkyrie's upright character, portraying himself as a weak, pitiful, and helpless innocent bystander who made a huge sacrifice to help her.

Most of the girls who are chosen to be Valkyries are those with overly upright personalities.

In layman's terms, they are easy to fool.

"Great, this way we can extract useful information along the way."

Li Ang grinned and pulled Ritsuka along as they followed Jereshkogur.

Chapter 253 Endless Winter

Led by Jeersikorgur, Li Ang and his two companions quickly emerged from the forest and arrived at the edge of a small village near the forest.

"Thank you so much, Lord Jeerskogur, for leading the way. If it were just us, we don't know how long it would have taken to get out."

Li Ang thanked the blonde Valkyrie.

Upon hearing this, the Valkyrie quickly waved her hand and said, "Not at all, this is what I should do. If it weren't for helping me, you wouldn't have lost your weapons."

"Thank you very much again."

Li Ang didn't say much, only expressed his gratitude again, just like any ordinary passerby.

"That's all for now, goodbye."

Jeersikorgur was a little embarrassed; she blushed and waved her hand.

"Well, I still have a mission to complete. Goodbye, until we meet again."

Jeersikorgur spread its wings and flew towards the horizon to continue its search for the so-called "outsiders".

"As expected of Valkyrie, thank you so much."

Watching the Valkyrie disappear into the distance, Li Ang's innocent and carefree expression quickly vanished.

"If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to gather so much useful information."

Ritsuka, standing behind him, sighed and rubbed her forehead, saying, "You... you're really the worst kind of person."

Ritsuka had witnessed Li Ang's linguistic talent during their journey.

Through just a few brief exchanges, they managed to extract a great deal of important information from the Valkyrie.

Of course, for that Valkyrie, these circumstances were at most the most basic information about this singularity. But this information was already enough for them to understand this singularity.

“How pitiful, Miss Gerskogur.”

Mashu stroked Fou's little head and made a sound of sympathy.

Li Ang's eyelids twitched twice: "Hey, hey, don't talk about me so badly! She's the one who kept talking."

[If the host hadn't actively guided her, she wouldn't have said so much, would she?]

The system loves to sabotage things at this time.

"you shut up."

Li Ang snorted coldly.

What the dirge system said was indeed true; during his conversation with Jeersikorgur, Li Ang had been trying to guide the other party.

Of course, Li Ang was able to do this because of his understanding of the Valkyrie.

The title "Valkyrie" may seem noble, but in reality, they are the lowest-ranking beings in Asgard's ruling class, with a very low status, even lower than those human heroic spirits.

Just look at what they did in Asgard. Besides going to the battlefield to fight, their job was to guide the human heroes to Valhalla and pour them drinks while they were drinking and reveling.

To put it simply, it's the job of a hostess and hotel staff.

Being constantly at the bottom of the workplace naturally breeds resentment. Even if they don't show it directly, with a little guidance, they'll find a place to vent.

Therefore, when facing Jeersikogur, Li Ang always placed himself in a relatively weak position.

And, posing as a long-absent person from Midgard, he sought advice from Jersikkogur.

"Miss, you are a noble Valkyrie, a being of great knowledge and experience, while I am but a lowly passerby. I wish to broaden my horizons and learn about the true nature of the great Asgard. Please tell me."

This humble attitude easily arouses the Valkyrie's desire to perform.

After all, being a "know-it-all" or showing off is a very fulfilling thing for people. In addition, since Li Ang basically doesn't ask about sensitive matters, Jeersi Kogur naturally relaxed his guard and began to talk fluently.

Li Ang wouldn't speak too plainly, as that would be too deliberate. Just a couple of well-placed interjections would be enough to give Jersikor enough satisfaction in the conversation and prompt him to reveal more.

The only thing that almost broke Li Ang's defenses was when Jereshkogur mentioned that his wife Skati liked to call his name while she was taking a nap.

At that moment, Li Ang almost lost control of his emotions.

Fortunately, Jeersikorgur was complaining about her troubles at work at the time and didn't notice Li Ang's change in expression, so she didn't give herself away.

But Li Ang still received disdainful looks from the Chaldea duo who had just been showered with their lovey-dovey moments.

Overall, it seemed like the Valkyrie was doing all the talking during that journey, while Leon and the others were listening, but the pace and control of the conversation were actually in Leon's hands.

Moreover, if no one specifically reviews the incident afterward, it's likely that Jeersikorgul will forget about it immediately and simply think of it as a pleasant conversation.

Of course, Li Ang's flattering way of speaking is only suitable for a newcomer like Valkyrie, such as Gershkogur.

If it were the group of elderly people led by Sister Bu, Li Ang definitely wouldn't have been so direct; he would have used a different approach.

However, if it really were Sister Bu's people, they would definitely recognize Li Ang's identity at first glance, and then tie him up and throw him in front of Skadi.

"Thinking about it carefully... at every singularity we arrive at, we always encounter a bunch of resentful women who have been philandering with Li Ang. It feels like we can solve most of the problems by just throwing Li Ang in front of them."

Mashu looked at Li Ang with a resentful expression and voiced her thoughts.

"Fufu!"

Fufu nodded vigorously, expressing her deep agreement with what Marshmallow said.

Hearing Mashu say that, Ritsuka's heart stirred, and she smiled and teased, "That's right, she's been waiting for you for so many years. I think you should wrap yourself up with a ribbon and give yourself to Lady Skadi as a surprise Christmas present."

Leon sighed, "You've all gone astray. Back in Britain, you never intended to hand me over."

“Because back then, you were an ally. Now you are a criminal!” Mashu said sternly.

"Yes, we're not jealous because you're getting along well with other women."

"senior!!"

"Let's forget about it." Li Ang shook his head slightly. "If it weren't for what that Valkyrie Geral just said, I wouldn't mind going to see her."

"Miss Gil..."

"What were you talking about earlier?"

The Chaldea duo clearly have different focuses.

Li Ang nodded, looking at the sky where snowflakes were falling, and said, "Hmm... what Jill said, this winter has lasted for 5 years."

"Is it because some kind of magic interfered?" Ritsuka tilted her head and guessed. "Perhaps it's because of this long winter that humanity has burned down."

"If it's just a long winter, that's fine."
