Vivien summoned a large swarm of bats and looked out in all directions from high in the air to the surrounding terrain, and soon found the area that appeared on the surveillance screen.It was a battlefield ruin on the banks of the river, some distance from the main battlefield of Wigriot Plains, but the horror was no less severe, and Vivien believed that this was the beginning of Ragnarok: the Frost Giants, Fire Giants, and various demonic goblins from other dimensions had rushed into Asgard through the Rainbow Bridge here.Here, the heroic Heimdall fought to the death against the invaders, but the gatekeeper eventually died with Loki.The small battlefield is located between two giant tentacles, the whole is triangular in shape, as if it is sandwiched by two small mountain ranges, and the surveillance footage seen in Valhalla before is completely consistent with the characteristics of this area, but Hao Ren did not find any signs of human activity here."
There's no smell," Lily said as she ran around on the ground and came back to report to Hao Ren, "I'm sure no one has been here for at least three months."
However, there are some signs of human activity here, some of the corpses have been taken from their equipment, and some of them have new and old cuts. ”"Sounds like a 'battlefield scavenger,'" Itzhax muttered, "and after more than 2,000 years, will so many people really survive?"
”"I can't believe how they survived the deadly demonic radiation."
Vivien shook her head, and then her eyes suddenly caught her eye at something not far away, and she looked up at it in a daze.Hao Ren followed her line of sight, and he saw the largest tentacle emerging from the end of the earth in front of him, stretching all the way to the sky, and the tentacle was covered with a layer of fragmented colorful crystals, and at the end of the crystal there was a ring-shaped crystal door, which was constantly rotating, and unstable light leaked out of it: these must be the legendary "Rainbow Bridge".In front of the shattered crystal bridge, an exceptionally tall figure stood proudly against the skylight.It was an Asgardian warrior with thick hair, wearing the alloy armor characteristic of the god Asaph, and was scarred all over his body.The armor on his chest had sunk deeper: that was where his mortal wound was.The warrior stood in front of the Rainbow Bridge head-on, leaning forward slightly, as if in a gesture ready to pounce, and he did not turn around until the moment of death.Behind him.A broken spear was held against his waist: in the last moments of his life, he probably used this to keep himself standing.Two thousand years had also severely weathered the warrior's appearance, but it was incredible that his body had not completely decomposed, he had just turned into a dried corpse in the wind, as if the task of guarding the bridge was still weighing on his shoulders.made him resist the grinding of time.Heimdall......
The whole garden of Asaph has fallen, and you have not fallen. ”Vivien came to the warrior and whispered with some emotion."
Admirable."
Galadrow spread her hands at her sides, leaning forward slightly, saluting the warrior as a dragon king, she didn't know who Heimdall was, but as a martial golden dragon, she paid homage to the other party's fighting spirit.Vivien pointed in another direction, "And then there's Loki, dead and dead, pathetic fellow." ”A rather large male corpse collapsed right in front of Heimdall.His skeleton was unusually large, completely larger than a normal Assalian man, and the body was detached, its torso lying ten meters away, and its head rolling at Heimdall's feet."
Loki is a descendant of the Frost Giant, he wasn't really that evil at first, but then it got worse day by day, some people think that the evil blood in his body from the giant is gradually awakening, but I now guess that he came into contact with the World Tree sap in the Nibelungen region to go crazy.The black dragon Nidhogg has been gnawing at the roots of Yugudorahir at the bottom of the underworld for many years, and the source blood of the eldest son has polluted one-third of the Heim underworld.And soaked through the mountains, all the way to the Nibelungen's water source, Loki once went to investigate the Nibelungen's water problem, and when he came back, it was a little abnormal. ”"You're familiar with Heimdall?"
Hao Ren asked curiously.Vivien shook her head, "Not very familiar.But I was very impressed with him.Heimdall was a wooden guy and extremely rigid, he was meticulous when it came to goal, and even though I was a friend of Odin's, I was stopped by this guy in front of the Rainbow Bridge more than once.But other than that, his bravery and loyalty are unmatched in the Nine Realms. ”Lily scratched her hair: "How do I suddenly think that these Nordic outliers have become good people."
The witcher who liberated all mankind has become a villain instead?
”"Because all people are flesh and blood, and no matter the decent villains, there will always be brave people, and courage does not distinguish between sides," Vivien shook her head slightly, "You will feel the heroic and tenacious struggle of the Norse gods in the past, but if you go back to that era and look at the living environment of human beings at that time, you will sigh that Odin and his followers are ruthless, selfish and violent."
In the final analysis, the war of the extermination of the dead race does not distinguish between good and evil at all, and the entire mythological era has ups and downs, and the final result is that humans and aliens have exchanged living space.And human beings are the real aborigines of the earth, and the aliens are just a group of visitors from the other world who gnaw at their old roots, so this world is still human after all.In this whole process, the witchers played the role of 'liberating humanity' whether they wanted to or not, so from the perspective of humans, they became the teachers of 'justice'. ”Nangong Sanba was circling Heimdall's body, and suddenly found something: "Hey, you guys come and see this!"
”Hao Ren went over to check the situation, and it turned out that Nangong Sanba had found a small pile of ritual supplies: just a few meters away from Heimdall, several stones were stacked on top of each other regularly, and on the stones were placed patterned clay pots and rusty spear tips.These inconspicuous objects are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding battlefield ruins, and only when you look closely can you see that they are a small altar.The data terminal immediately flew over and checked: "Age......
The last record was a hundred years ago. ”"Someone's paying tribute to Heimdall," Hao Ren exchanged glances with Vivien, "it's certainly not the crazy Valkyrie." ”"I'm afraid it's the 'battlefield scavengers,'" Itzhax looked up at the Rainbow Bridge, "they're coming through this gate." ”After leaving some surveillance probes on the battlefield ruins, Hao Ren and his party stepped on the extraordinarily thick tentacles of the eldest son (or the branches of the "World Tree"), and the rainbow bridge stretched all the way under their feet.In ancient Norse mythology, the "Rainbow Bridge" is a long bridge of light that extends from the Garden of Asaph, and the gods of Asaph cast this bridge with the rainbow in the clouds and incredible divine power, and used it to connect the road between the world and the kingdom of God, but in fact, the spatial cracks that connect the various different dimensions are things that have been attached to the branches of Eugudo Lahir before the establishment of the Garden of Asaph, and the Rainbow Bridge is just a stabilizing device used to solidify these spatial cracks, And artificially control their opening and closing: in this way, the gods of Asaph established the closure and inviolability of their own "kingdom of God" and also bound the order of the nine kingdoms.On the day of Ragnarok, an army of giants and monsters forced their way through the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge at the Asgardian side, and Loki destroyed the restraint used to protect the portal, so after a severe overload, the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed, the Crystal Walk broke into thousands of pieces, and the portal at the end of the bridge could no longer be closed, becoming permanently half-open.The circular portal at the end of the Crystal Walkway was so large that it seemed to fit even a large airliner in and out easily, and the massive components of the portal were constantly running through the air, making a rumbling sound.Vivien came to the gate and threw a small bat into it, explaining to the people around her, "There is only one rainbow bridge in Asgard, but it can lead to all the other eight different dimensions, and by changing the way this ring turns, the gate can be mapped to the path of several other kingdoms."
And if the Rainbow Bridge's Captain Guard, Heimdall, is killed, the mapping of the Rainbow Bridge will be immediately disrupted and solidified. ”Hao Ren frowned: "In other words, now we can't determine which kingdom is on the other side of the portal, and we can't determine the specific location of any kingdom?"
”Vivien sighed, "Odin's left eye is set with a gem that can reflect the true path of the Nine Kingdoms, and can also regain control of the Rainbow Bridge after Heimdall's death.Originally, I wanted to find Odin's body first after arriving here, and then use the power of the gem to explore the other dimensions one by one and find Mimir's spaceship.But now that Odin's whereabouts are unknown, we can only find them kingdom by kingdom. ”At this moment, a wisp of blood mist floated out of the portal and re-coalesced into the form of a small bat in Vivien's hand."
It's not good on the other side," she frowned, "I don't think there's going to be any life there." ”(To be continued.) )
