Faced with Claude's invitation, Vivien's first reaction was to be a little more vigilant.She has more than 10,000 years of experience, has seen all the winds and waves that happen on this planet, and in recent years has seen the winds and waves that happen on other planets, she is not a timid person, she just feels that this Claude is very strange, strange to the point of suspicion.A young witcher who is on the same level as White Fire, no matter how talented he is in magic and warfare, lacks the necessary qualifications and life wisdom, at least theoretically, such a young man must lack both.But the Claude in front of him clearly does not fit these characteristics, and he also freely admits that there is something else in his soul.Faced with this situation, Vivien had to ask one more question: "Before I go with you, who are you?"
Is it Claude?
Or something else?
If it's an old guy, you can talk about it openly, I don't think there are any older creatures on this planet than me, maybe we're old acquaintances. ”"I am indeed Claude," the young witcher smiled, "as if I had been in disguise.But I have also accepted an additional legacy that lives with Claude's soul, makes me aware of the secrets of the ancients, and invites you here and now.Please come with me, I am going to take you to meet the owner of that inheritance. ”"Shall we go along?"
Hao Ren pointed to himself, as well as Lily next to him, "It's not all reliable here." ”"Everyone," the young witcher just nodded, his gaze sweeping over White Fire and Tutamin, "everything that appears before me here and now is something that should be invited, an edict handed down six thousand years ago. ”It's this kind of thing that transcends time and space again!
Hao Ren couldn't help but feel a chill, like this guy who had hung up thousands of years ago but still left a prophecy that something would happen in XX year and XX month was the most grateful to him, because fate and prophecy were the most evil and difficult things in his mind, and when he became a part of this kind of prophecy, he was even more vain.But Claude has already said that he can't let go of this opportunity, so in the end he nodded stubbornly: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”The "young" witcher, who had been shrouded in mystery, led the group out of the ceremonial hall and followed a secret passage to the depths behind the hall.On the way, Hao Ren couldn't help but lean next to Bai Huo: "Seriously, what kind of person was Claude before?"
”"I said it, I didn't have much contact," Bai Huo frowned, "he was a taciturn introvert before joining the Order of Elders, and after joining the Order, he followed the rules and precepts, and basically lived a simple life like the saints.According to the rules, the attendants of the saints are not allowed to marry, buy property, leave the Northland, and are not even allowed to leave the Spiritual Bell Tower if it is not even necessary. ”Bai Huo and Hao Ren didn't keep their voices down, so Claude could hear it clearly, but the young attendant had no fuss about it, and he patiently explained: "Every attendant of the saint is inaugurated through a ceremony, the old attendant officer retires during the ceremony, and the new attendant receives blessings during the ceremony, and some old memories are passed on to the successor through this ceremony.The history of witchers is too long, we are the oldest race on this planet, and certain secrets must be passed on in a safe way. ”Hao Ren casually perfunctory, and finally, led by Claude, came to a secret room.Claude stood at the door of the chamber and activated the heavy ancient substantial door, which floated silently upwards and opened: "Please come in, an ancient man has something to say to you." ”Hao Ren and Vivien glanced at each other, and the two walked into the room side by side.Then I was frightened by what I saw inside.There is no furniture in the circular room, except for a large, altar-like object in the center, on which a huge two-meter-tall head rests.The head was old and shrunken, full of white hair, wrinkled, and a dark red face with a majestic momentum.There's only one head.Lily, who came in later, was also taken aback, and then stepped forward to check the condition of the head with the amuse and stupid boldness that a husky should have, and she wanted to see the head, and the head slowly opened its eyes.A pair of slightly cloudy eyes, but still full of wisdom, these eyes slowly swept over Hao Ren and his party, and then everyone heard a voice directly in their heads: "You are here, it seems that this disaster was solved by you." ”Hao Ren stared at the head for a while before he suddenly realized what this was: a guardian giant!
Fellow citizens of Muru and Lemendusa, loyal guardians of the goddess of creation, a guardian giant—yet with only one head.The others obviously recognized the race of the head, but they all realized that the current situation was unclear, so no one rushed to mention the name of the goddess of creation and the firstborn, and even Lily, the heartless eye, covered her mouth vigorously: she almost blurted out the word "guardian", but luckily she reacted quite quickly.Vivien cautiously stared at the Giant's Skull, unsure if the Guardian of the Fallen Earth had been shocked by memories as he crossed the Wall of Reality like the other aliens: "You are ......"
"Old friend, you have lost your memory again," the Giant's Skull's voice came again, with a gentle smile in it, "Well, there happen to be a lot of first-time faces, so let's introduce me: you can call me Mimir." ”"Mimir?!"
Lily suddenly exclaimed, "The wise giant Mimir in Norse mythology who guarded the fountain of wisdom, let Odin pit him, and was finally chopped up by the Warner Protoss?
”Lily's mouth is like this, it is something that ordinary people can't stop, and before Hao Ren can react, she has already baba out of her mind, but the giant's skull doesn't look angry, and the huge head just shows a smile: "It was an accident, the clumsy Heiner shouldn't have touched the mechanical table, and the sunprism of Warnerheim melted my body."
Sorry for the loss, but my head is alive and well, and ......," said the giant's skull humorously, and at the same time, the ground near the altar suddenly lit up with many runes, and under the light of the runes, various utensils floated out of the corners of the room, moving nimbly in the air."
I can still take care of myself."
Hao Ren glared: "So......
The giants in Norse mythology are actually guarding ......
Is that what you are?
”As soon as he asked the question, he felt that something was wrong, and then he instantly reacted: the guardian giants are such powerful creatures, even without the support of advanced technology, these demigods have the power to crush the mortal species.If only one guardian giant falls into the middle of those ancient "gods", it is better to say that they are not as powerful as the eldest son without equipment support, and can be killed by mortal species in numbers, but if all the giants in Norse mythology are these guardians......
The mythical era has already pacified them, and what about the later war between the witchers and the gods.Sure enough, Mimir smiled: "It seems that these stories have been misrepresented as I expected.There is only one giant of wisdom, and that is Mimir, and the other giants are different from me. ”Vivien's face was serious from the beginning, she was trying to toss through her messy memories, but she couldn't think of anything related to Mimir.In other words, she remembered that she once knew the "wisdom giant" in the Nordic family, but she couldn't remember anything about the giant's appearance, life, and acquaintance experience.She couldn't help but pat her head: "It's so bad, I can't think of you at all."
You were caught here by the Witcher?
”Despite Mimir's true identity as a demigod guardian created by the Goddess of Creation, he is a member of Norse mythology in Earth's mythology, and the witchers put an end to Norse mythology - so the only explanation for Mimir's head in the Spirits Clock Tower is that he was captured."
At first, yes," Mimir replied slowly, "but then I volunteered to stay."
They need my wisdom, they need my knowledge and advice, and I need a safe place to live.Especially after learning about their history, the reasons for their hunt, and the many secrets they kept, I couldn't leave—I couldn't lift the curse when these reckless little creatures touched something they shouldn't, but at least I could delay it until you came here to solve the rest of the problem, old friend.Now it seems that my wait was worth it, although it didn't seem to be as I thought it would be. ”(To be continued.) )
