[Updated Objective: Escort Siegmund's wife Hjördís to safety（√）]

This is the final copy of the [Rise of Völsung] expansion pack. It is completely free because it is also the beginning of the [The Song of the Nibelungs] that has just been launched. In this copy, players will be given different status, depending on the number of players and the progress of the mission.
If you do not raise your reputation to above respect in the force of 'Netherland', the player's identity will be that of a passing adventurer. There is no way to activate the battlefield boss in the first battle. You can only watch a cutscene and raise your reputation. You will be able to participate in the decisive battle before Völsung King City as a Dutch soldier, and then touch the equipment..
This is the original intention of the operation. They don't want their game to become a game that big bosses bring cute new players to play. They also hope that players can experience various game contents on their own..
Hoder obviously met the standard. He was a player after all, and more importantly, he was not only the first to complete the series of tedious quest lines, but also the first to unlock the hidden boss in this copy: Valkyrie. The pioneer, and not only that, he also dragged others to clean this dungeon repeatedly. If his reputation had not already reached worship and could not continue to rise, his reputation would probably be able to climb another level..
According to the plot setting of the dungeon, Valkyrie Sigrún led her other subordinates to this cruel battlefield for two purposes. One is to collect the souls of brave men as in myths and legends, and to accept these warriors to where the God King Odin is. Valhalla, and the second is to go back and forth to recover the sword held by Siegmund: Gram.
If the player has not unlocked the plot related to the Valkyrie Sigrún, Queen Hjördís will come out of the grass on the edge at this time, and then plead with the Valkyrie to leave the fragments of Gram - she needs the broken pieces. Holy Sword Revenge, she wants to cultivate the child in her belly
However, it is different when players intervenes....
"Leave the fragment of the Gram, it belongs to Völsung"
Having long been familiar with the development of cutscenes, Hoder stopped talking nonsense. When hearing his words, the two NPCs in the grass did not make any move, while the beautiful Valkyrie showed surprise. look, and then she showed a wry smile.
"This...I probably can't do it. The order given to us by Father God is to recover the Gram, which itself is the sword of Father God.."
"Then, that old man Odin gave away the sword for himself, and then killed Siegmund in the rebellion.?"
Then, she didn't speak. She had no way to answer this super question..
A group of cute newcomers stayed nearby to take screenshots of the young lady, while Sigrún remained silent. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak. In the end, what appeared in her eyes was a hint of loss..
"Well, Sage of the Netherlands, defeat me and my men and you can take it.."
Then, the blood bar appeared...
"Boss, do you really want to hit the young lady? "Just when the Valkyrie got into a fighting stance, a discordant voice sounded..
But before Hoder could react, golden light flashed past, and the cute newcomers standing side by side were knocked over, and then rushed to the street. At the same time, the buff bar in Hoder's vision also Added a vital buff.
[Blood Debt Repayment with Blood (Level 9): All attributes are increased by 50% for a limited time (3 minutes)）]
"waste..."
After clearing out the level 1 newbies with one blow, Sigrún glanced at the corpses of the newbies. Due to the game mechanism, she couldn't see the funny souls emerging from those corpses, and her slightly... When the contemptuous look fell on them, they became excited.
"Little sister, please scold me again!"
"What a great look! This game is so fun!"
So I don't understand what you people are thinking. Is this woman so good??
"Where did you find such a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps??"
"This has nothing to do with you, right?."
Then, the real battle begins. Originally, according to the orthodox game mechanism, it should be a one-on-one battle between the player and the Valkyrie. This kind of battle is completely randomly selected, and it tests the player's understanding of the battle mechanism of this game. understanding.
And once you are reduced to one person, it will become a carnival of fighting!
The first one, charge and attack!
Holding his two-handed sword high, Hoder slashed down suddenly. The crushing impact on the attributes caused the Valkyrie to fall into a stiff state. Then, he directly penetrated the sword in his hand roughly into the body of the Valkyrie..
Puncture execution, one hit to clear the blood tank!
"Wow, the little sister was stabbed like this. The boss is so strong. I would definitely not be able to do it.."
"Come on, this is not a problem of not being able to execute. Can you execute the execution as easily and casually as the boss? Is the skill tree of this big sword full??"
"The combat system of "Nine Worlds" can be said to be simple and crude. The player's level depends on the comprehensive level of combat skill proficiency. At the same time, things like the blood bar will not increase with the level, and more importantly, In face-to-face combat, it is basically unnecessary to watch, because there is a crucial execution system in the game's combat mechanism..
As long as you cut to a vital part - such as piercing the heart or cutting off the head, the blood tank will be instantly emptied. And that's what Hoder is doing now. He has no interest in spending time with these Valkyries here..
Then came the second one, a close shoulder collision, a sword hilt smashing into her shoulder, the sword blade pressed against her neck, and with just a pull, the blood tank was instantly emptied..
His speed was so fast that he sent the two nearby Valkyries back to Valhalla in an instant. Although the remaining people reacted, their attacks were obviously useless, including spears or war hammers. Weapons like this can't touch the opponent at all, and his superb operating skills allow him to accurately master the response method..
After easily dodging the attacks of those Valkyries, the two-handed sword in his hand also dealt a heavy blow. He hit them one after another, and was impaled and even decapitated one after another..
Even at the end, Hoder showed the newbies a spell execution that can only be seen in forum videos.
Hoder's hands were mercilessly clasped on the faces of the Valkyries, and with the burst of flame runes, the Valkyrie's heads were directly evaporated..
In less than a minute, 10 Valkyries, including Sigrún, were neatly dealt with. Even though Sigrún used a combination of spear and shield, her legs were still beaten by Hoder. broke, while the warrior's sword was at her neck.
Under the gloomy sky, the Valkyrie had her wings broken. She could only kneel in the blood, looking up at the heavily armed warrior in front of her in an extremely embarrassed manner, while the warrior's sword was pressed against her neck. superior.
"Did any of you record it? The boss battled those Valkyries before. They were so cool. One of them beat 10 of them.."
"Yep, it's nothing more than level suppression. The requirement for this copy is level 30. The boss said that his overall level is level 60. I can do it even if I reach that level.."
"Come on, you can't even kill that chicken in the Novice Village."
"You dare you kill that chicken? Are you not afraid of triggering villagers' rage?"
"You guys hurry up and take a screenshot. I'm not very good at angles here. This picture can obviously be used as a wallpaper! I got hard looking at the torture of the Valkyrie."
"I often feel that I am out of tune with you because I am not perverted enough.."
Hoder didn't pay attention to what the newcomers who had just stepped into this game were saying. His eyes under his helmet just stared at the calm-looking Valkyrie in front of him. Even though her legs were broken, she still didn't reveal it. What a painful expression.
It should be said that she is worthy of being a veteran Valkyrie.?
But this attitude can't help but make Hoder a little annoyed....
"How long do you think I stayed in this copy? I see your face at least 30 times a day, and I've been here for a month."
10 times at the normal level, 10 times at the heroic level, and 10 times at the epic level. As for why I didn't play more, it's just a matter of the dungeon CD..
In response to this, Sigrún did not respond, and Hoder did not have any expectations for this. After all, she was just an NPC in the game, and would not respond to incomprehensible words..
He didn't even know why he said that. Maybe it was because he spent more than a year completing Völsung's quest line, so he didn't like these Valkyries, or maybe it was because he spent a month Time is doing useless work here.
All in all, his tone was terrible, but Sigrún didn't care about that either..
"You win, Hoder, and I'm so...sorry about that.."
Finally, the Valkyrie disappeared into brilliance and returned to Valhalla, while Hoder expressionlessly touched the armor fragments she left behind, and then, a large amount of loot came into his sight..
[Two-handed sword·Valkyrie's war blade (epic quality)）]
[Helmet·Valkyrie's War Helmet (epic quality)）]
[Valkyrie's Lantern (Living Tools)）]
And so on, there are ten items in total - this is the reason why he must bring new ones, because the drops of the dungeon are based on the number of people..
There were inevitable duplications among them. He didn't even take a second look at these things that could be used for a long time, because he had already collected the set of Valkyries..
Then, at the end of the drop list, he saw something that glowed with an exclamation mark:
[Broken Hilt (Quest Item)）]
"Found it..." He took a long breath
"Boss, boss, where shall we go next? Are there any ladies watching next??"
"Boss, boss, your set of skills is so cool, can you teach me??"
The newbies started to chirp. It was a bit funny for them to remain in the spirit state. However, even though these newbies were looking forward to it, Hoder had to break their expectations..
"For you newcomers, there will be no boss next, just a cutscene, because King Elf of Denmark will be here soon. You newcomers should start to calculate the progress of the dungeon.?"
The dungeon plot in this game is linked to the player's own progress. These players who have just entered the game probably don't even have the reputation of the Völsung clan, so how can they trigger the next plot? I'm afraid they don't want to be transparent. People are here.
"Well, boss, thank you, goodbye.!"
"Goodbye, boss!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Then, the soul is released, the corpse disappears, and the team is withdrawn, all in one go. No one wants to stay here. After getting the skill points, it is enough for them to activate the skills on hand, and then they can happily experience the new expansion pack. Got it.
"After all, "Nine Realms" is a game that emphasizes one's own sense of immersion. If possible, who would want to watch others experience it? Watch the live broadcast? Then why not go to the guide website??
"I won't have to bring in new people anymore. This kind of work is really tiring. "Looking around, Hoder's eyes hesitated slightly. After looking at the dense jungle on the side for a while, his eyes finally stopped on Siegmund..
He is still alive, but dying. If you want to continue the plot, you only need to listen to his last words, but after listening too much, Hoder himself has no interest. He just clicked on the system's operation interface..
[Whether to exit Völsung's Sorrow (Epic）]
"..."
[no]
After hesitating for a moment, he finally did not log out of the copy directly, but just walked to the side of the old king..
The old king had not lost consciousness at this moment. His blood bar was locked to the last drop of blood. His cloudy eyes moved and finally saw Hoder who was approaching..
He was still wearing the armor and helmet given by him, and the two-handed sword behind him was still dripping with blood..
"Hoder..." he cried, "my sword..."
The player whose name was called didn't say a word. He just handed the broken sword hilt into his hand. But at this time, the old king didn't know where he got the strength to put the sword into his hand..
"We've known each other...for more than forty years, right?."
"Stop talking."
"I also have a son, Hoder, who takes care of me... and my... wife."
The old king's eyes finally lost their last luster when his health bar was cleared. He could not be saved no matter what, but until the last moment, his hand still clutched the piece of cloth on Hoder's armor..
In this regard, Hoder had no expression on his face. He had experienced this kind of scene hundreds or thousands of times when playing dungeons. Although Siegmund's lines were a little different this time because the mission item was revealed, but after all, Still the same thing.
"This is a crappy game, why are the NPCs so animated?."
He reached out and closed the old king's eyes, and then cast his gaze to the grass beside him, where two women walked out - Queen Hjördís and her maid..
"Your Excellency, Sage..." She called softly
Then, the plot slowly progressed, and the sound of horse hooves running sounded....
"You hide and change your clothes. That flag belongs to the Danes.."
