Chapter 630: Icelandic Horror (162)
“Crack!”
The storm and lightning, wrapped in thick and sticky black fog and broken ice and snow, raged across the world like a terrifying tornado. Thor, the god of thunder, was fighting with the Famine Knight. No one could participate in this battle between gods. It seemed that only the deafening thunder and the loud neighing of the black horse of the Famine Knight could be heard between heaven and earth.
But Bingyi could hear other sounds. He held a broken stone with runes in his left hand and a goat horn cup filled with blood in his right hand. Even though the stone was broken, the power of harvest still lingered around the stone, making Bingyi hear whispers. No power could cover it up, because this was the purest wisdom.
‘Odin will never allow me to get this rune stone’
After realizing the meaning of the runes while hanging upside down on the Tonghege tree, Bingyi secretly communicated with Wei Xun when the charred bird was alone with the little phoenix bird. After drinking the small bottle of the Fountain of Wisdom, he hung upside down on the arm of Tong Hege, who was not a real world tree at all. It took him only nine minutes and nine seconds to see the meaning of the rune letters in nine days and nine nights. This was definitely unusual.
The secret of the universe, the power of runes, the divine power of rune letters, this is the most important core power of the authority of the God of Wisdom! It is all the secrets of the universe in the Nordic pantheon. It should be extremely difficult to master, but Bingyi was very "easy" when he comprehended it. Except that he almost got lost in the unknown secrets of the universe, if he had less curiosity and desire for knowledge, this might not even happen. Bingyi would probably be able to directly understand how to interpret these letters.
This is definitely not just the effect of a small amount of the Fountain of Wisdom, it is more like someone is fanning the flames in Northern Europe. Especially Afeng said that if it was really the rune letters that Bingyi comprehended himself, he would definitely get a prompt in his mind (the prompt sound of the hotel). This can already be regarded as a kind of extraordinary power.
And the absence of any prompt sound can also be regarded as a secret reminder from the hotel.
Bingyi actually didn't really get the power of the Rune, something was wrong.
Who was it?
Who would do such a thing.
Who could do such a thing.
Bingyi looked at the shattered Rune stone in his hand, listened to the murmurs lingering in his ears, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Only Odin, as the god of wisdom, who holds the power of wisdom and knows the power of Rune, can do this. Excluding all the impossible, the most incredible option left is the answer.
Why would he do this? According to normal logic, Odin can't do this. Bingyi is growing rapidly. If he completely masters the power of Rune in time, he will really start to compete with Odin for the power of the god of wisdom. Odin and Thor can tolerate him pretending to be Odin last night because it was Loki's own fraud, but when he really begins to understand how to use the power of the Fountain of Wisdom, it will completely break the already precarious peace.
This is a struggle for power, and no one can give in. Thor seemed so easy to talk to, so he gave the Valkyrie's brooch to Bai Lian. There was also a Rune in it, because he corresponded to this Rune, he did not die immediately after the Rune was broken, so he was taken to Valhalla to check whether he had obtained the power corresponding to the Rune.
So why did Odin do this?
Unless it was for greater benefits.
'They had already decided to take action against you'
Bingyi recalled his communication with Wei Xun...A Feng at that time, and his calm voice rang in Xiaoniao's mind: 'You have seen it clearly'
Yes, from last night to now, after he took away the Death Knight's head, Odin and Thor did not express anything too intense, which made Bingyi suspicious. The Death Knight's head is extremely important, and it is also a trophy for killing the powerful Outer Gods. How could the Norse gods let it go?
‘The mastermind behind this journey must have reached some kind of agreement with the Nordic gods’
Yu Hehui analyzed: ‘You have completed the corresponding, most difficult task. According to the rules, this Death Knight’s head is his reward. Even the gods have to hold their noses and admit defeat temporarily’
‘And... this may involve a subsequent chain task, because the Death Knight is not dead. ’
The Death Knight is not a real ‘god’ in the narrow sense. He is just a product of the faith and cognition of countless believers for thousands of years. The Death Knight who invaded Northern Europe is ‘dead’. He can still ‘resurrect’ in the faith area, but he will lose a lot of power.
But his head was not crushed, but suppressed in Bingyi’s Paradise Lost. So he can’t be considered completely dead, and he can’t breed a ‘new’ Death Knight.
The other three remaining Apocalypse Knights will definitely take back his head and will definitely come to kill Bingyi. He is like a fragrant bait.
Odin and Thor also hope that his bait can lure out other Apocalypse Knights.
‘Due to historical reasons, there are actually quite a few Christians in Northern Europe’
Danlin had secretly found Bingyi before, whispered to him, and vaguely told him why the Norse gods could not find the Apocalypse Knights within their own faith domain.
‘And… Ragnarok is approaching in Northern Europe, and the Apocalypse Knights also represent the arrival of world destruction and final judgment’
The important nodes almost overlap, and the chaos blinded the perception of the Norse gods. And the Apocalypse Knights would certainly not miss the opportunity to regain faith. After Ragnarok, the power of the Norse gods and giants was reduced to the limit. This was their opportunity to appear on the scene to judge and plunder the people’s faith.
The battle of faith is far more cruel than the territorial war. If they really succeed, the number of believers in the Nordic gods will decrease, and the power provided to them will be insufficient, then it will probably take a longer time for the Nordic gods and giants to return to their original level of power.
Therefore, we must find the other three Knights of the Apocalypse and suppress and kill them all before Ragnarok arrives.
'The entities of the Nordic gods are confined to the volcano. If they hold the head of the death knight, the three apocalypse knights may lie dormant until the end of Ragnarok.'
Dan Lin said meaningfully that he came to Bingyi to secretly reveal their intentions to the Nordic gods. These gods were too arrogant to find the Apocalypse Knight directly. It would be a shame for them to use bait.
‘I am also a bait’
Dan Lin pulled off his collar, and the silver-purple thunder pattern surrounded his neck like a chain collar. Once anyone threatened his life, it would burst out to protect Dan Lin. But at the same time, it was like a big hand controlling life, clamping down on Dan Lin's neck.
The Death Knight's desperate protection of Dan Lin last night proved that Dan Lin also has the potential to be used as a bait to attract the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
So Thor turned his attention to him. But compared to Dan Lin, Bingyi is obviously a more direct bait, and after all, he has obtained the identity of Loki, is a member of the Nordic gods, and has cooperated with Thor before. The most important thing is that as the winner of last night's horse race, on today's Day of Thunder God, Thor should have the most legitimate reason to watch Bingyi and send his 'eyes' to his side, just like yesterday he sent a raven to stare at Bingyi. Like Odin.
Why didn't Thor do this? With his self-esteem, he couldn't give up just because Bingyi was difficult to control. Unless someone forces Thor to give in.
The invasion of the outer gods is of vital importance. Not only does the God of Thunder need to have an informant in the brigade, but the King of the Gods also needs to do so.
'Black feathers...Hey, actually your call is a bit like that of a corvid'
Dan Lin seemed to be joking, but Bingyi knew the meaning well.
Why is the bird state he transforms into black?
'The aging sun should not decay unless there is a conflict of powers between pantheons'
Wei Xun agreed with him after seeing his bird state.
Black is not just the color of the scorched sun, but also the color of raven feathers. If Bingyi didn't have the form of a bird by chance, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect Odin's early moves on him.
Because of this, Thor could only endure his anger and make concessions.
Danlin is the bait controlled by Thor, and Bingyi is the bait controlled by Odin - not yet fully controlled. That's why he took the risk to let Bingyi realize the true meaning of the runes - the raven that supervised Bingyi yesterday was Fujin, who represented 'thinking', and it was also Odin's hands and feet on Bingyi. It is precisely because of Odin's 'thinking' that Bingyi can understand the meaning of the rune letters so quickly.
This is not his own thinking, but Odin's thinking, so Bingyi has not gained the real power to decipher the rune letters. The more runes Bingyi obtains and the more he uses this power, the more his thinking will be eroded by Odin's thinking, and will eventually be completely controlled by him.
This is forceful oppression that is not revealed on the surface, and it is wisdom as insidious and cunning as a snake. If this continues, Xu and Yu will eventually become completely controlled puppets.
‘Does a puppet have a mind of its own? ’
Bingyi remembered that when he was communicating with Xiao Fengniao, his tone was very relaxed, even teasing: 'Does Wei Xun have his own ideas? ’
‘Of course Wei Xun has his own ideas’
Xiaofengniao smiled helplessly and repeated what he had just said: "You have seen it clearly."
‘What are you going to do? ’
‘It’s time to reach this point’
Bingyi said to himself that there was no other choice. When he obtained Loki's incomplete flame and arrived in Northern Europe on the verge of Ragnarok, everything would be doomed. Bingyi is destined to never be in God’s camp. On the fourth day of the journey, we hiked the Vatnajökull glacier. There were countless frost giants frozen under the glacier, and there was blood food that could restore their strength.
The arrangement of this scenic spot, even the hotel, is adding fuel to the fire. Everything has been arranged in place, urging Bingyi to make a choice. The giant's camp, this is where he should go.
Xiao Fengniao didn't say that much, she just said calmly: "I will be with you," her tone was as calm as if she was talking about an established fact.
'Maybe it would be better if we separated'
Bingyi smiled and said, there was seriousness in his smile: "Just like Dan Lin"
Dan Linlai secretly reminded him that it was not only the meaning of the Nordic gods, but also represented his own ambition. For Dan Lin, the advantages of temporarily becoming a follower of the God of Thunder outweigh the disadvantages. There is no need for him to express his position immediately. On the contrary, if Bingyi makes that choice, he will be the only bait controlled by the Nordic gods, and maybe he can get more attention, more restrictions, and greater benefits.
And he and Bingyi were on opposite sides, one in the camp of the Nordic gods and the other in the camp of the giants. They formed a secret alliance, which brought more benefits. Of course, this alliance is loose. Once one party is at a complete disadvantage, the other party will not hesitate to swallow up all the benefits. This kind of game makes it impossible for Bingyi to believe all of Dan Lin's information. He needs a reliable person in the camp of the Nordic gods.
‘And if you follow me, you are destined to never get the ultimate reward’
Bingyi's tone was also very calm. In each of the two camps, there will definitely be someone who gets the most rewards, but with him on the giant's side, as Loki, Bingyi is simply a dimensional strike, and he is confident that the rest of the people can't get more than him. 'I heard from Miao Fangfei that Danlin and you are both very powerful new travelers. '
Bing said half-truthfully: 'There should be competition between you, Danlin may get the most benefits over there, are you willing? And you are the only person I can trust. '
'I am not Danlin'
The little phoenix bird smiled, and its golden eyes looked at him. The eyeballs like magma actually felt wet, and looked very soft, but also very hot and firm: 'In this journey, I will only be with you'
With the accident of the phantom cat and the test of the old dream, An Xuefeng will never separate from Wei Xun.
'As sticky as a puppy'
Bingyi chuckled. In fact, even if Wei Xun was on the side of the gods, he could not completely believe the information conveyed. Wei Xun said this, and this choice made Bing Yi feel comfortable, and really included him in his decision-making. He told Wei Xun his plan.
‘I will smash the stone with the harvest characters’
Bing Yi said calmly: ‘Use the power of Odin’s Spear’
To summon the frost giants, restore their power with blood food, and sign a covenant with them, first of all, someone must be able to contain Thor. Even Thor would not want to face the frost giants and the famine knights at the same time.
But before Thor completely destroyed the blood food, smashing the stone with the harvest characters and letting famine come, it would be chaotic.
‘Tong Hege’s branches still contain the power of Odin’s Spear, and the rune characters on that stone are broken and have low defense. The most important thing is——’
‘Odin will most likely not look at this side today’
It’s not just because of the pride of the gods that he will use his own thinking to understand the rune letters for Bing Yi as a shame. It’s also because today is Thor’s day, and because of the previous things, there is something dirty between Thor and Odin. Odin's wisdom prevented him from pressing forward. After gaining further advantage, he would take a step back and leave room for relaxation.
'One more thing'
Bing Yi smiled and said: 'I want Thor to think that it was Odin who broke the stone'
