Chapter 513 Dare to Tease Fate!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Urd came to Loen and smiled:
"Since you have just completed three trials easily, I will also use this as a topic. If you can pass the three challenges I set, I will unconditionally agree to one of your requests. Otherwise, you will pay the same price."
"It sounds fair."
Loen's eyes showed a trace of interest, but then he changed the subject,
"But I want to hear the topic of the trial first."
Urd nodded, waved his hand slightly, and summoned two blurry figures from the darkness, saying:
"These are my two servants, Logi and Xiuji. The former eats at an amazing speed, and the latter is good at running. If you can beat them in these two areas, you win."
Coach, I have seen these two questions!
Lorne was delighted, but he remained calm on the surface and continued to ask questions:
"What about the third item?"
"Wait until you pass the first two items." Urd smiled and shook his head, "You haven't decided whether to bet with me yet, I can't tell you all the questions first, right?"
Obviously, compared to her two sisters, this goddess of the past is more thoughtful, mature and calm.
Seeing that Lorne seemed to be still hesitating, she moved behind him, gently leaned down, leaned close to his ear, and uttered tempting words with her red lips:
"If you win, you can make an unconditional request to me, any idea is fine. Do you want to bet?"
This shameless bad woman!
Seeing this mysterious woman who appeared in the Frost Giant Palace dared to flirt with Lord Loki, whom she respected, she was immediately furious, her eyes full of hostility and contempt.
Loki even rejected my service, how could he be tempted by your beauty!
"Okay, I agree to bet with you!"
The refreshing answer in her ear made Brunhilde's face stiffen slightly, and she couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Was I rejected because I was not charming enough?
Brunhilde's eyes swept over Urd's wasp waist and hips, as well as the deep ravine between the rich and generous front armor and the pair of round spheres. She couldn't help but compare herself with the opponent, and then she felt depressed.
At this time, Lorne didn't notice the little thoughts of the Valkyrie behind him, because his bet with Urd had officially started.
At Urd's beckoning, two tables full of food were brought up by the frost giants, and Lorne and Logi sat down respectively.
With the order of the randomly selected frost giant commander, Logi took the lead and started eating frantically.
Urd saw this and felt proud.
Logi is the incarnation of [Wildfire]. It is theoretically impossible for real life to defeat it in the field of devouring.
As long as he could easily win this game and get the requirements, he could make up for his past mistakes and take back his sister Belldandy's freedom from this kid...
Uld looked up and saw Logi, who was eating slower and slower at the table and lying motionless a few seconds later, and was stunned.
On the contrary, although Lorne on the other side was very polite, he quickly caught up and easily finished the food on the table, revealing a pile of empty plates.
The frost giants were stunned and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly announcing Lorne's victory.
Urd was full of doubts. She stepped forward and observed carefully. She saw the light film that wrapped the entire arena, sensed the situation inside, and immediately understood the reason for the failure of [Wildfire].
—— Flames need a medium to burn, but someone blocked the surrounding space and emptied the air and magic factors inside, causing [Wildfire] Logi to be unable to burn in this unique environment.
"You're fouling!" Urd protested angrily.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why close the arena?"
"Is it okay for me to like quiet when I eat?" Lorne spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, and then pointed at the [Wildfire] lying motionless on the table, and said, "Look, even Roger has no objection."
Uld was speechless when he heard this.
She couldn't say that Roger she sent out was not a normal life, but the incarnation of wildfire, right?
In comparison, she didn't seem to be very noble in this gambling game.
Having suffered a loss in silence, Urde could only issue a temporary supplementary clause:
"It is not allowed to close the arena and interfere with the players' competition!"
"No problem."
Lorne nodded simply, walked out of the hall, and stood side by side with Xiu Ji in the square, ready to start the second duel.
Looking at the other party's calm appearance, Urde, who had just lost a battle, sneered secretly.
Let you be proud for a while, and you will cry later!
The Xiu Ji to be challenged in the second round is the incarnation of [Thinking]
Nothing in the world can be faster than thinking.
And, just in case, this materialized [Thinking] is copied from your spiritual will. As long as you have the idea of running to the destination in your mind, it can reach it instantly.
This time, you are sure to lose!
Just as Urd looked at the stadium with confidence, his expression suddenly froze.
As the frost giant announced the start of the game, Brunhilde stood at the finish line, raised the spear in her hand, and resolutely stabbed her abdomen.
Just as Brunhilde was about to die, Lorne flashed to the finish line and snatched the spear from her hand.
But the thinking-turned Xiu Ji still stood at the starting point, motionless.
How could this happen?
Urd was puzzled, his face full of confusion.
A slender figure came behind Urd at some point, and said faintly:
"Because, there is something faster than [thinking]."
"What?"
"[Instinct]."
Luo En glanced at Xiu Ji at the starting point and added with a smile,
"[Thinking] still takes time, but [instinct] does not. Before I set off, I closed my five senses and seven consciousnesses in advance, leaving only the last [instinct]."
According to the classics of Eastern Buddhism, in addition to the six consciousnesses of eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness and consciousness, the human body also has the seventh manas consciousness related to obsession and thinking, and the eighth alaya consciousness related to the original instinct.
[Thinking] can only reach the reaction level of the seventh manas consciousness at most, but he only retained the instinct represented by the eighth alaya consciousness.
With Brunhilde's stimulation at the finish line, he was definitely faster.
"So, your instinct is to save people?" Urd was a little surprised, as if he had reacquainted himself with this legendary evil god.
"If there is no necessary sacrifice, I certainly hope that I can continue more lives."
Lorne answered frankly, his eyes deep and clear, and added gently,
"Because this is exactly what I think the gods mean - to create impossible miracles for the world and life."
What is the meaning of the gods' existence?
Urd's eyes were a little dazed, his expression became complicated and confused, and he looked at Lorne blankly.
After a moment, as if he was a little scared by the weird look, Lorne couldn't help but cough and said:
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't close the stadium or interfere with my opponent, I just restricted myself, this is not a violation of the rules."
"I know, you win!"
Urd, who came back to his senses, snorted coldly, then rubbed his cheeks hard, forcing himself to return to his original intention.
Don't waver, stay calm!
For Belldandy, I must win the third game!
At this time, Loen, who had won consecutive games, was in a good mood, and looked at Brunhilde who was walking towards him with a gentle look:
"Thank you for your hard work just now."
With only instincts and no external stimulation, he would only be a puppet without consciousness and self, and it would be difficult for him to react to the outside world, and he would also be unable to defeat Shuki, the incarnation of thinking.
So before the game, he asked Brunhilde to stand at the finish line and awaken his instincts by self-injury.
Brunhilde actually agreed without thinking.
In order to achieve the best stimulation effect, she even changed her self-injury to a more direct suicide, firmly believing that her boss would save her before she got into trouble.
If Loen had not reacted in time and lived up to this trust, Brunhilde would probably be seriously injured if not dead.
As for the danger just now, Brunhilde did not say a word, but only saluted to Lorne respectfully:
"It is my honor to serve you."
While speaking, Brunhilde demonstratively glanced at the defeated Urd beside her, feeling proud that she could help.
In terms of service and loyalty, is a mere outsider worthy of competing with the well-trained Valkyrie?
Lorne was moved by Brunhilde's heroic sacrifice just now, but more helpless:
"That's what I said, don't be so impulsive in the future."
I have heard that Brunhilde in the original myth is a bit sickly, and today I saw that it is indeed worthy of the reputation. Because of a sentence, she didn't hesitate to stab herself with a gun.
Sure enough, I have to be careful with my words and deeds when I get along with this Valkyrie in the future.
"Are you done talking? We are going to start the third game."
After losing in succession, Urd was obviously in a bad mood and her tone was a bit stiff.
Loen waved his hand to dismiss Brunhilde, and walked forward and said:
"Ask a question, Miss Ulu."
Uld nodded, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his hand to grab a blue ice butterfly from the diffused wind and snow, holding it in his palm, and asked with a smile:
"Do you think it is dead or alive?"
Is this a question?
Everyone looked at Urd in confusion.
"Do you still need to ask? It must be alive!"
Sol on the side couldn't help but speak out, and demonstrated what "simple-minded and strong-limbed" means.
"No!" Brunhilde shook her head and questioned, "What if she crushed the ice butterfly to death in advance? The question can't be that simple!"
"Makes sense!" Loen agreed, walked up and looked at Urd's clenched hands for a while, "Let me take a closer look first."
No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!
Urd let Lorne do what he did, but he looked like he was sure of winning.
She certainly couldn't kill the ice butterfly in her palm in advance as Brunhilde said.
Because she had to wait until Lorne gave the answer before deciding the fate of the ice butterfly.
If the other party wanted the ice butterfly to live, she would let it die;
If the other party wanted the ice butterfly to die, she would let it live;
No matter what the other party chose, the answer and fate were in her hands.
So she couldn't lose this third game.
Although it was a bit rogue, it was also to regain the freedom of her sister Belldandy.
Just as Urd was comforting herself, a hand unexpectedly grasped her clenched right fist and exerted force.
"It's dead!"
Before Urd could react, Lorne first broke open her five jade-like fingers, revealing the ice butterfly that was shattered into powder in the palm of her hand.
"See, I guessed right!"
The answer was revealed, and everyone present nodded in unison.
And Urd looked at the smug face in front of her and couldn't help but get mad:
"Despicable!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You held my hand and shook the ice butterfly to death, this doesn't count!"
"So, I don't do anything, and then it's up to you to decide whether it lives or dies? This doesn't seem fair, right?"
Lorne asked with a smile, and slowly pointed out the trick.
Everyone suddenly realized and looked at Urd with contempt.
The trick was exposed, and Urde's cheeks flushed with shame and anger, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But because her right hand was tightly grasped by Lorne, she couldn't get away even if she wanted to.
While Lorne firmly controlled Urde, he teased and mocked:
"I have passed all three trials. You can't afford to lose, right, Miss Wulu?"
Helplessly, Urde could only pinch her nose and admit defeat:
"You win! What do you want? Tell me."
"I want..."
Lorne circled Urde, walked around the back of the neck of the goddess of fate, took a deep breath, and seemed extremely intoxicated.
Looking at the goose bumps on the jade neck and Urd's stiff body, Lorne's face finally showed a hint of teasing, and he smiled and announced the answer:
"I need to think about it for a while, and then I will say it after I think it through."
Then, he let go of Urd's white wrist, waved his hand, picked up Thor, took Brunhilde and Jörmungandr cat, and strode out of the city.
As the three people and the cat disappeared in the diffuse snow, Urd, who was in a state of ups and downs, came back to his senses and gritted his teeth.
Asshole, dare to tease fate!
Wait, you will suffer in the future.
Uld suppressed the depression in his heart, turned to look at the frost giant king Laufey, and asked unhappily:
"Tell me, how is the matter I want to investigate?"
"The person you are looking for is likely to be in Solemheim (the noisy place)."
Laofey answered carefully, showing a kind of awe of the goddess in front of him.
Not long ago, this mysterious goddess followed the cat's trail and came to the city of Utgar.
After learning from him that the cat was released by someone, the goddess gave him a corresponding reward and helped him defeat Thor, the god of thunder, who came to challenge him.
From that moment on, Laufey knew the goddess's power and wisely offered to help her solve her problems.
However, the goddess asked for two things - to get a promise from Loki and to find someone's trail.
Needless to say, the former ended in a miserable defeat.
He investigated the latter for a long time, but only got a vague message, and the result was uncertain.
So in general, he only completed half of it.
However, whether the news was true or false, he didn't mind confirming it.
Because [The Land of Noise] was the territory of the mountain giant king Shaki and his daughter Skadi, and it was in competition with the city of Utgar built by the frost giants. If that place was turned upside down, he would be too happy to stop it.
"Solemheim? I see."
Uld nodded and pondered, her eyes full of murderous intent.
Because her good sister Shikoti fled from the battlefield, she and Belldandy were badly hurt!
If I don't hang you up and beat you up, I will no longer be called Urd from now on!
The goddess of fate who controls the past gnashed her teeth and looked towards the south, her clenched fists creaking.
"Ahem, sir, look..."
With a light cough in her ear, Urd came back to her senses and looked at the Frost Giant King Laufey who was hesitant to speak behind her.
She looked around and saw that the surroundings had been cleared at some point, and said with understanding:
"You want to revive the Frost Giants, right? Go to Niflheim, the Land of Mist, there should be what you need there."
"Thank you for your advice, sir!"
Laufy thanked him ecstatically, but when he looked up, he found that the goddess had disappeared.
But it doesn't matter.
Because the hope of reviving the Frost Giants will soon be in his hands!
Laufy stood up and looked at the diffuse snow, his ice-blue eyes flickering faintly.
The Kingdom of Mist?
