Chapter 4: Changes in the world
For this new term, Liu Zhi couldn't help frowning, he had already surpassed the transcendent level, and now if he was calculated by level, he should already be a legendary.
However, he could tell that this transcendent was not referring to a hierarchical situation, but something different.
When Ryuji didn't respond, another man said: "He's not a transcendent, he doesn't have divine grace in him, he doesn't have the embodiment of other powers, he doesn't even have the slightest taste of potions, he's not transcendent." ”
At this time, Liu Zhi also had to ask, "Excuse me, what does the transcendent mean?" ”
However, he didn't respond to Ryuji's words, and most of the people ran to collect the corpse, not wanting to pay attention to Ryuji at all.
Faced with such a situation, Ryuji thought for a while and said, "I saw Valkyrie come before, and they didn't take any souls. ”
When Liu Zhi said this, everyone's eyes moved over, and the expression in their eyes was actually filled with a trace of grief and indignation.
One of the young men said with some annoyance, "Why, we all fought desperately, why are we not heroic spirits. ”
Ryuji was about to say something, but a man behind him said, "Forget it, times have changed, and no one who is not transcendent can enter Valhalla." ”
"May I ask, what is the Transcendent?"
This time, someone finally answered Ryuji's words, and the man in the lead said, "You are a remnant from the ancient era, come in and have a drink." ”
With that, the man pushed open a tavern that was still on fire, and regardless of the flames that were still burning, he dragged two barrels of wine out of the tavern and placed them on the ground.
The other men gathered around, holding their glasses and starting to divide the wine.
The man at the head said: "My name is Tula, the head of this village, and the first brave man of this village, the descendants of the Vikings, the army you are talking about should be the army of the Germans, and they should have come here to find Valhalla. ”
Then Tula began to drink and talk about the world.
It turns out that this world, about five hundred years ago, has entered the stage of Ragnarok, and at that time, there were two great wars between gods and spirits that were waged before the eyes of civilians.
The god of thunder in Norse mythology was directly killed by Zeus, and Zeus robbed the power of the god of thunder to replenish his own losses.
In revenge for all this, Odin killed the Greek myth of Apollo, leaving the weather in Europe to be shrouded in cold winds and unable to get the warmth of the sun.
At the same time, because of these two divine wars, some changes were introduced, cutting off the communication between the gods and the priests, and the priests became powerless.
In this way, the gods who guard the earth often don't get the news, and they don't know what happened on the earth, plus Ragnarok, evil gods are rampant, and the world is full of all kinds of demons and monsters for a while.
In order to protect themselves, various countries have developed a way to borrow the power of the gods, and those who are strengthened by this way are all called transcendental.
There are three ways to strengthen this, one is to directly inject the flesh and blood of the gods into the human body, as long as you can survive, you are extraordinary.
One is to guide the divine power of the gods into their own gods, and if they fail, that person is the god descending, and if they succeed, then they are transcendent.
The last one is the most chaotic, they search for the flesh and blood of various monsters, concoct them with medicines, and make potions to strengthen themselves.
Because of the instability of monsters and medicines, they have a high level of failure, and only those who survive are considered transcendent.
The existence of transcendent beings is both a good thing and a bad thing for ordinary people.
The good thing is that if the transcendents themselves want to grow, they need to keep fighting, so those demons and monsters on the continent have all become the food of these transcendentals.
The bad thing is that because of the arrival of Ragnarok, there are fewer and fewer beings on the ground who can suppress the transcendental, making the transcendent more and more unscrupulous.
"What about your village, there is no transcendent inheritance?" Ryuji asked curiously.
"Legacy? What is the inheritance of something less than 500 years old, our village has a heritage, we have a dragon horn, when necessary, we can blow the dragon horn and summon the dragon to act as our partner to fight together.
But the problem is that you can't call the dragon now. ”
Dragon?
Liu Zhi was shocked, and then he asked quietly, "Are the dragons all dead?" ”
"Yes, but even if they die, they will respond to our trumpet, this is Odin's agreement with them."
Hearing this, Liu Zhi knew that the news of the undead dragon should also be heard from here.
So Liu Zhi became more polite when he said this to them.
As a newcomer to this area, Ryuji's attitude of asking questions without understanding made Tula very happy, and the more he drank, the more he talked.
"And what about those Germans, I heard you say they seem to be looking for Valhalla."
"It's very troublesome to talk about this, it's related to religion, we and the Germans, in fact, all believe in the legend of Odin, and the southern Rome and Greece believe in the power of Zeus, and then there are some people who believe in the existence of monotheism, this is the current situation.
As I said before, the doors of Valhalla have been opened because of Ragnarok, and although it is not known yet, it is clear that the doors are not closed now.
Now the Germans want to take control of Valhalla, and they want to call on the legions that can be dragged out at any time. ”
"They? Can they grab it? ”
Ryuji was still a little curious about this.
"I don't know, but they've been attacking villages along the coastline lately in an attempt to create Heroic Spirits, and although I don't know their methods, it's clear that this aspect has something to do with Heroic Spirits."
Tula didn't know about this, and Ryuji, as a newcomer to the site, was even less likely to know.
In desperation, Liu Zhi had no choice but to find another way.
After thinking about it in his heart, Ryuji asked, "So what are you going to do next?" ”
"What else can you do, just live here, and in a few years, this place will become a new village." Tula took a sip of his wine and stood up.
At this time, he thought about going to put out the fire, and he didn't know what these people thought.
After taking a few steps, Tula seemed to think of something, and he turned to Ryuji and said.
"That's all I know, and if you want to know more, there's a place you can check out."
