"Phew, now we're even."
Yao's words pulled Brunhilde out of her complicated thoughts.
The man turned to leave the castle.
Brunhilde instinctively followed Yao's footsteps, and stayed with him until they reached the castle gate.
Even after leaving the wall of fire, it still followed.
They have absolutely no intention of leaving Yao.
"Stop! Uh... Brunhilde, you don't mean... you're still planning to follow me? We're even now, you don't need to follow me anymore. This world is so big, as a Valkyrie, you can go wherever you want."
Yao wanted Brunhilde to leave.
Because he wasn't ready to fall in love with another woman; he hadn't gotten over the hurdle in his heart yet.
He had only been married to Krimschild for a month.
No matter what, this shouldn't be done, right?
Yao believes that as a husband, he still cares deeply for his wife and really doesn't want her to be in tears.
He already had three women in his heart.
They also have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultivating extraordinary stories.
If possible, Yao hoped that Brunhilde could make her own choice, rather than blindly obeying the great god Odin.
"...I don't know, I don't know where I can go. There are no voices of the gods here, I can't hear my sisters' cries, whether it's Valhalla or the Nine Realms...I can't see anything clearly."
Brunhilde's eyes were filled with confusion.
Her pretty face was gloomy because of the gloom in her heart, and the sadness made the Valkyrie even more touching.
The Age of Gods has declined, and the gods are no more.
Even the great Norse pantheon collapsed, and everything vanished in the twilight flames.
The Valkyrie is nothing more than a relic of the old era.
It is unwanted residue.
"........"
Yao was speechless for a moment.
Yes, where can Brunhilde go?
Going alone to the inner sea of stars?
This is no different from her sleeping alone in a coffin.
Today, the world is moving towards a separation from the divine, and those who, like Zhu Yue, declare war on human reason are ultimately a minority.
This era has no ship that can accommodate her.
The gods are no longer needed.
Not to mention, Brunhilde is still so naive, she's practically the most useful weapon ever.
Think of the divine child Mei Lian whom I met in the village.
How do humans oppress and exploit their fellow human beings, who are blessed by this planet?
Yao and Zhu Yue could see it clearly.
If Brunhilde were to be brought into the modern world, it would be tantamount to sending a lamb to the slaughter.
"That damn Odin..."
Yao couldn't help but curse the Norse gods.
If he chooses to abandon Brunhilde here, it will most likely end in tragedy for the Valkyrie.
Therefore, it seems that only one choice remains.
He could only take Brunhilde with him.
"I don't believe that old bastard's all-seeing eyes didn't see it. Chun Chun is just trying to make things difficult for me, isn't she? Ragnarok, ptooey."
Yao couldn't deceive himself.
To this day, he has never been able to ignore the loss of beautiful things, and he always tries his best to save them.
Zhu Yue was like this, and so was Brimhild.
If Brunhilde had any autonomy, Yao wouldn't have bothered with her so much.
The problem is, she didn't.
Brunhilde not only lacks common sense, but is also extremely easy to deceive.
This made Yao's conscience very uneasy.
He was like someone who had just woken up a sleeping little girl and then cruelly banished her to the wilderness.
To be honest, Yao didn't want to do this kind of thing.
".....Hmm?"
Brunhilde and Yao met eyes.
She acted very innocently and naively.
I completely failed to understand the stomach pain expression on Yao's face, nor did I understand how much trouble Yao was going through.
That is precisely why her beauty remains undiminished.
That's what's most annoying.
"Forget it, I'm tired. Sighing is pointless, and complaining to an innocent person like you is useless. But it's a deal: you can stay by my side, but it's best if you don't call yourself my wife. That's my only condition."
"But...."
"Stop! No buts!"
Yao didn't want to say anything more.
Because, seeing Brunhilde's overjoyed expression, his heart suddenly tightened.
To be treated as a husband by such a beautiful woman.
No man could handle that.
"Yao...may I call you that?"
Brunhilde asked cautiously.
They are as endearing as fledglings.
She was afraid of doing something wrong and upsetting Yao, so the desire to stay by Yao's side took root in her heart.
Yao was the first person she saw after she opened her eyes.
She read Yao's memories and learned that the person before her had the temperament of a hero.
The Valkyrie was secretly moved by the light.
Of course, this is not romantic love, but more like the pleasant feeling of finding a comfort zone.
No matter how mechanical and dull they may be.
Brunhilde was also a Valkyrie, and her nature was to yearn for heroes and warriors.
It has nothing to do with Odin's orders.
This is something that belongs only to her.
"Whatever you say."
Yao couldn't get angry at Brunhilde.
Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, even if you wanted to get angry, you would be doused with cold water.
Moreover, she looked incredibly happy.
He clearly said he didn't treat her as a wife, but he acted as if he had been redeemed.
So happy it makes people jealous.
She was overjoyed simply because Yao allowed her to stay by his side.
This is hardly a Valkyrie from Valhalla.
She looked like a little girl going out for the first time since she was born.
No, even girls have some common sense; they will express their capriciousness to their lovers.
Brunhilde, however, did not.
She was happy just being by Yao's side.
"call....."
Yao shifted his gaze away from her.
At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be so beautiful that he could topple kingdoms and cities; if he wasn't careful, Brunhilde would have captured his heart.
——It would be dangerous to continue thinking like this.
Yao quickly adjusted his mental state.
Banish those ambiguous thoughts from your mind and focus instead on the mystery to be explored next.
Now, Brunhilde is by his side.
While it's true that she has a stomachache, the Valkyrie's power is undeniably formidable.
She can help Yao obtain the mystery.
As a helper, he is almost impeccable.
"With Brunhilde's help, perhaps... we can conquer that mysterious place."
Yao already had a plan in mind.
There was a mysterious place that he had long considered his target.
The location is at the base of Mount Etna in Italy, where a mystery even more powerful than the evil dragon exists.
Its power is a thousand times more terrifying than that of the evil dragon.
It would take an entire volcanic island to suppress it, and even after millions of years, its power still lingers.
The Greek gods were once utterly defeated by it.
They were beaten so badly that they had to hide and flee, and in the end, they could only slink away to Egypt to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.
Of course, it is also very famous in Greece.
Divine beasts such as the Hydra, Cerberus, Nemean Lion, and Sphinx are all its offspring.
It once stole the thunderbolts of Zeus, the chief god, and was crowned the ancestor of all demons by the twelve Olympian gods.
His name was—Taizu Long Typhon.
