Chapter 1106: Valhalla

Hao Ren didn't know what to say of the heroic spirits known as Enheria - or what to say of the Norse "gods" who made the armor. The Valkyrie is essentially an undead creature, and Valkyrie's process of creating the Heroic Spirit is, to put it bluntly, a necromancy, and a rather terrifying necromancy: it casts the souls of the dead into cold, bloodless armor of steel, and allows them to engage in endless battles, despite the glorious name and seemingly sacred name of the process, its own sensationalism is not questionable.

But then Vivien said, "These Enheria are voluntary. ”

Lily was surprised: "Wang?!" ”

"Brave and aggressive warriors, warriors with unfulfilled wishes, executioners immersed in killing, and fanatical believers who simply worship the 'gods', there was no shortage of these people in human society back then, they knew what it meant to become Enheria, but they were willing to do so, especially the Germanic berserkers, their only wish was to fight to the death, and still fight after death, so they felt that becoming an armor that could fight forever was the best destination in life. Every year, hundreds of warriors rush into battle with Valkyrie amulets, and sometimes in order to get an early 'glorious promotion', berserkers even fight beasts with their bare hands, using their own blood and that of their enemies to please Odin. The Valkyries follow the amulet's instructions to harvest souls: only the toughest souls can be used to power the Enheria armor, so the warrior who has just died in battle is the most suitable. At that time, it was quite an honor for a settlement to have a promoted person, and Valkyrie would show up in person. Flying over the city on Pegasus, a god would even give humans something if he was in a good mood: usually food and medicinal herbs. The 'gods' of the time wanted to ensure human loyalty to themselves and to facilitate slavery. It is not easy for people to fill their stomachs and heal diseases, and they allow humans to eat enough food to be considered a great grace of God. ”

Galadrow concluded with a blank face: "Glorious and savage. Fanatical advocacy cannot hide oppression and injustice. ”

"That's right, it's quite unfair, and there's nothing to look like it," Vivien nodded, "Of course that's true from today's perspective, but the humans of the time were very satisfied with this, and the Norse aliens were actually quite kind to their human slaves, which is why they were able to develop a legion like 'Enheria'." These Heroic Warriors felt deeply favored by the gods and remained faithful until the moment of their death. And when it is forged into armor, this loyalty can be maintained forever. ”

Lily glanced at the trembling armor with a strange expression, "Then are they still sane?" ”

After listening to Enheria's story, the husky girl suddenly had a strange feeling about the debris of this place, and she felt strange in her heart.

"Actually...... Gone," Vivien shook her head, "the process of forging armor erases most of their memories and almost all of their humanity, and the enheria are more like programme-driven fighting machines, still full of rage, but hardly human. ”

"Looks like it's after Ragnarok. The Heroic Spirits have been wandering in the Garden of Asaph," Itzax muttered, "are they patrolling the old route......

Vivien was lamenting the vicissitudes of life, when she heard Itzax's words, she seemed to be suddenly reminded. She suddenly exclaimed: "Patrol...... Wait a minute! Problematic! ”

Hao Ren and Lily said in unison: "What's the problem?" ”

"If I remember correctly, Enheria can't move without instructions from Valhalla's control center!" Vivien said quickly, "These guards should be controlled!" ”

Nangong Sanba interjected: "You just said that Valhalla was destroyed from the inside during Ragnarok......"

"Sabotage. But it was not destroyed, it was Loki's hand at the time. He didn't have the power to destroy Valhalla's Great Rune Pillar, so he could only interfere with the flow of mana and shut it down. So just reboot the system and Enheria will be able to resume her activities," Vivien's eyes lit up, "Someone rebooted Valhalla!" ”

Everyone else looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Odin! ”

The king of the Norse gods, whose body was missing on the battlefield and whose whereabouts are unknown, is still alive and has returned to the Garden of Asaph!

Hao Ren immediately turned to Vivian: "Where is Valhalla?" ”

Lily couldn't help but interject next to her: "In mythology, Valhalla is the Golden Palace, or the Golden Palace is the hall of Valhalla......"

Vivien immediately retorted: "No, Valhalla is actually on the hill to the north of the Golden Palace, and it is a palace slightly smaller than the Golden Palace, because the light it emits when it is running at full power will illuminate the entire Golden Palace, so later people falsely rumored that the Golden Palace is Valhalla, or the former was built inside the latter." ”

Nangong May poked Lily's arm with the tip of her tail: "You learn from me, at this time, let's talk less, no matter how knowledgeable you are, you can say that you have been to Yasap Garden in person?" Maybe she'll help out when she gets Valhalla. ”

When Vivian heard this, she immediately corrected it seriously: "I didn't help, I was asleep at the time, but there is an inscription I wrote at the entrance of Valhalla, which I helped write after I woke up." ”

Nangong May & Lily: "......"

As a magnificent palace only slightly inferior to the Golden Palace, Valhalla stands out in the Garden of Asaph, and everyone soon after arriving outside is greeted by the beautiful temple on the hillside. It is a composite structure of multiple cylinders, and it is so well preserved that it seems that the flames of Ragnarok did not spread there. The faΓ§ade of the palace is cast in silver-white alloy, and the walls are carved with strange shapes that look like spear tips, while the roof of the palace is covered with layers of golden round plates that appear brilliant in the skylight. Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the description of Valhalla in Norse mythology: "...... The walls of the palace were lined with silver spears, the roof was covered with golden shields, and the seats in the palace were decorated with fine armor, a gift from Odin to the warriors......"

Vivien explained, "Valhalla is the control center of the Enkhria Legion, and its entire roof is a powerful set of psychic antennas that can spread the will of the Valkyries throughout the Nine Kingdoms. Although Enheria had the logical ability to fight autonomously, they could only be activated by receiving a unified command from Valhalla, which Odin had set up to prevent these powerful Iron Legions from getting out of control. However, this setup became a stumbling block. ”

Hao Ren: "...... It turned out to be wifi for half a day. ”

After leaving a few detection probes in the Garden of Asaph, Hao Ren led the team to the main entrance of the Valhalla Palace. They were cautious along the way, fearing that they might encounter other wandering Heroes, but it was unknown if most of them had been damaged in Ragnarok or if they were wandering somewhere else, until they reached the gates of Valhalla, and they didn't encounter a single active Enheria.

The gates of Valhalla (Valhalla) were grand and stately, enclosed by hundreds of bronze columns arranged side by side, and Vivien found a large stone slab embedded in the palace wall next to the gate, and she pointed to the words on the slate: "Look. ”

Hao Ren looked up and saw a large line written on the stone tablet with some ancient symbol: Valhalla - the sleeping place of the Iron Legion.

"Well, I inscribed it, and Thor helped carve it," Viviant proudly puffed up, "I can write dozens of words." ”

Hao Ren: "......"

"Well, we all know that the old man bat has a rich life and a long history, punching Zeus and kicking Odin, slapping Caesar into the moat, now let's not reminisce about the glorious days, think about how to open this door," Lily crossed her waist with one hand and pointed to the densely arranged copper pillars like monster teeth, "Why didn't Odin open the door if he was inside?" ”

"It's also strange to me that Odin can see what's going on through the 'eyes' of the Enkhrias, and if he activated Valhalla, then he should have known that we were coming," Vivien frowned, muttering as she fumbled between the bronze pillars, "It's all strange, it's been isolated from the outside world for more than two thousand years, and it's hard to say what kind of mental state the people trapped here are now, so it's better to prepare for the worst." If I'm not mistaken, touch the pillars in a specific order......"

Before Vivien could finish speaking, the bronze pillars that had sealed the doorway suddenly trembled, and then with a mechanical friction sound of "Kerala ......", these bronze pillars began to retract into the palace walls one after another.

A black hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

And the moment the door opened, Hao Ren heard a strange shrill cry coming from the depths of the palace.

"I hear it too," Lily's ears twitched, "there's something in there." ”

"That's not right, it's definitely not Odin," Hao Ren propped up his shield, "Everyone keep up, be careful around, don't get separated." (To be continued.) )
