Chapter 1062 Mimir’s Memories
If it weren't for Nangong Wuyue's reminder, Hao Ren would have really forgotten about this.
In fact, it's not that he knows nothing about Norse mythology. In fact, he does know the connection between Mimir and Yggdrasil in the original mythology. But since he came into contact with the real products of Norse mythology, his knowledge has gradually changed. It gets blurry: the wise giant Mimir has become the guardian race of the Dream Plane, Yggdrasil's true identity is actually the eldest son, and even the daughter of Loki and the God of Death, Hela, are just a somewhat lonely and gloomy woman. , so he gradually forgot the settings in the fairy tale...
At that moment, he contacted Mimir who was watching the scene in the Athens Sanctuary.
Since the aliens are busy forming a new regulatory agency, the "Shadow Council", and need to understand many truths behind the witchers, Mimir, a special individual who is both an ancient alien and an advisor to the witchers, has become the protector of Athens. A very important figure in the institute. The old giant is now deeply trusted by the shelter and is busy every day. When Hao Ren called, he could still hear fierce arguments in the background on the opposite side. One of the sharp voices sounded particularly familiar. It should be that Hessiana was talking. Arguing with someone about something... or just having a fight.
"Hello, friend," Mimir's voice was still so calm and calm, but as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the messy arguments in the background.
"It's quite lively over there," Hao Ren said with a smile, "Who is Hesana arguing with again?"
"I'm in a meeting, and the little girl is quarreling with the Lucas family." Mimir's voice seemed to be smiling a little. "This is the first collective meeting after the establishment of the Shadow Council. We are discussing the first batch of people to leave the shelter. Number of people limit issue.”
Hao Ren was a little surprised: "The Shadow Council has entered official operation? It's very fast, and you are also a member?"
Mimir's voice paused for two seconds before coming over: "In fact, I am now the Speaker of the Shadow Parliament."
"What?!" Hao Ren couldn't control his surprise this time, "You became the Speaker?!"
Mimir hummed, and couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations. To him, this was nothing to make a fuss about. He had experienced a lot in his life, and he had even been a consultant to a demon hunter.
But Hao Ren really couldn't calm down. He had thought before that Mimir, this special ancient, would definitely have extraordinary prestige among the aliens. It was not uncommon to get a place in the Shadow Council. After all, the ancients could reach this level. Everyone has a halo of honor, but it would be more shocking if this old giant directly became the speaker of the Shadow Parliament: he has been away from the alien society for more than two thousand years, and during these years he has been living as a consultant to the demon hunters. ——This identity is very valuable, but it is undoubtedly embarrassing. If the hunting war had not ended, this identity would even belong to a "black household registration" that cannot be made public. In addition, he has no foundation in the heterogeneous group, and he has no influence in the Athens Sanctuary. It can be said that apart from his own halo of face, he is a complete "outsider" in the Sanctuary.
With no power or connections, why was Mimir suddenly elected as the Speaker?
"With the support of the Hesiana family and the help of Hela - although Hela is withdrawn, she seems to have a voice here," Mimir smiled warmly and briefly explained the situation there. , "Of course the more important reason is that whoever they choose is not suitable."
Hao Ren was not stupid. He knew what was going on when he heard the words "No one is suitable to choose." In the final analysis, the support of a family and an ancient person is only a one-sided reason. The fundamental reason is probably that no one of the families in the shelter obeys the other. Under the premise that everyone wants to make a fortune when they meet, it is inevitable whoever you choose to be the boss. The pretense ended in failure, so it was simply impossible for them to elect a speaker internally.
In this case, a mascot speaker who is highly respected but has no power himself becomes the best choice, because as long as the structure of the Shadow Parliament is reasonable, the position of "speaker" basically has no power, and one has to do with all parties. It is appropriate and reasonable for the ancient man, who is not related to any powerful people and does not like to take care of things by nature, to sit in this position: anyway, he only needs to sit in that position to ward off evil spirits.
What's more, he also knows Vivian.
Of course, the development of things is always unpredictable. The current Speaker of the Shadow Parliament is a careless guy, but Hao Ren doesn't know how the situation will change in a few years. After all, this is a brand new organization, and all its development requires Let’s wait and see.
"Actually, I have no interest in this position," Mimir said calmly, "but little girl Hesiana persuaded me through hard work. Let's not mention my situation here for now, do you have anything to do with me?"
Hao Ren reacted immediately and nodded quickly: "Oh, by the way, let me ask you something - are you familiar with Yggdrasil?"
"Yugudora Hill...familiar?" Mimir was startled, as if thinking of something, "How do you know it can communicate?"
As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he knew: There is a way!
"Few people know how to communicate with Yggdrasil, and most people don't even know that it has thoughts at all," Mimir said slowly. "Odin knows about it, but he can't understand it. The thought of a plant, Nidhogg also knew about it, but he went crazy when he tried to listen to the voice of Yugudora Sil, and finally burned himself to death. In addition, even the Nordic people The ancient gods just regarded Yggdrasil as a plant. They never tried to talk to the World Tree, and I never allowed them to talk to it: one Nidhogg is enough. "
"So you really know how to communicate with the World Tree?" Hao Ren's tone was full of expectation, "Do you communicate often?"
"I have been able to hear the voice of Yggdrasil since I became conscious," Mimir smiled. "This is easy for me. But the way of thinking of the World Tree is very special. You have to ask me about it. Ideas then have no meaning and are difficult to express clearly in words.”
Hao Renxin said that he had successfully connected with the eldest son's spirit, and he didn't go crazy, but talking about this at this time was obviously beside the point. He bluntly told Mimir what happened today: "We used the resonance of Gangnir's fragments to successfully find the remnants of the Yggdrasil space chain, and if that's right... opened the Asa Garden area. 's door."
When Mimir heard the news, he lost his composure: "Have you found it?! How is that place now?"
"It ran away," Hao Ren sighed, "We didn't know that Yggdrasil was still alive..."
After a while, he truthfully told the other party what he had encountered today. Mimir fell into silence for a few seconds after listening. Finally, the old giant sighed: "It was so far away...among the stars, not long ago. I still didn’t believe that I would have the chance to leave this planet, but I didn’t expect that Yggdrasil had been floating in the universe for two thousand years. It actually still had this kind of power and could survive in that big explosion. Come down."
Lily was a little curious: "You didn't know that Yugudora Hill had the power to transfer space?"
"I don't know," Mimir replied, "It has never shown such power. Even when the Demon Hunter attacked the God's Domain, it did not react in any way. But now think about it...the Demon Hunter's super weapon is also It only cut off the connection between the Nine Kingdoms and the Main Material Plane, and did not fundamentally harm Yggdrasil, so I am afraid that World Tree did not regard this as a threat at all from the beginning."
"This is quite new information," Vivian raised her eyebrows, "I'm also wondering how it could be banished from the earth by the demon hunters if it has such power."
Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. The key now is that it ran away. We suspect that our tentative behavior 'scared' the World Tree, so..."
"So you need my help, I know what to do," Mimir said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem, but are you sure you can find it again?"
Hao Ren smiled confidently: "Of course I am sure, I can launch a large search force."
"That's no problem," Mimir agreed happily, "I can help at any time. But I can't leave for too long: things in the Shadow Parliament have just begun, and I, the speaker, have a lot to do even in name."
Of course Hao Ren understood this, and later, he curiously asked some questions about Yggdrasil: "Since you often chatted with the World Tree before, you know what it is thinking about. Does it have any memory of its home world?"
"There should be no memory," the old giant replied, "and when I establish a mental connection with it, I always feel that it is in a chaotic and slow state. It lacks response to external stimuli and lacks proactive thinking. At least that's what I remember about Yggdrasil, but based on your description of its reaction speed when it 'escaped', I think it's much sharper now."
After hearing Mimir's answer, Hao Ren became thoughtful.
