Regin has a blind spot in his thinking. In his cognition, because the Asa iron is the main material of the holy sword of Gram, those fragments are necessary to recast the holy sword, and as long as there are fragments, the With his skill, and even with Hoder's help, it is not difficult to recast Gram.
But now, even if the two of them have the skills, and there are two 'master blacksmiths' here, it's useless, so Regin couldn't help but feel complicated.
Depressed, that's true, because he personally also wanted to restore Gram, except that it was entrusted by his savior Hoder, and more importantly, his self-esteem as a blacksmith.
He thinks that forging skills will not be lost to anyone, even the leader in the dwarf kingdom: Forging Thor's Hammer - Eitri and Brokkr of Mjolnir are next to him, he still has the confidence to say such words, This is his own pride, and it is the only thing that has not given up from the beginning to the present.
But at the same time, he was secretly delighted with what had happened now, because in a dark corner of his heart there was still that dark thought: he didn't want Gram to be able to cast it successfully.
The sage of Völsung, Hoder, has always been grateful and respectful. His gratitude comes from saving his life, and his respect comes from the things he heard. Although the name of the sage is no longer circulated in the Netherlands. , but he still remembers the praise of others.
What is most praised is not his martial arts, nor his magic, but his "education". As a precedent, Regin has no doubt that he can educate Siegfried into a famous hero, and when the time comes, he will be invincible with the holy sword in his hand.
But, in the final analysis, the name of a hero and the holy sword of Gram have never been linked...
In this way, various thoughts emerged in Regin's mind, and these thoughts were tightly entwined like hemp rope, which made his old head swell.
"call..."
He shook his head vigorously to get all those messy thoughts out of his mind, and then he brought the topic back on track.
"In short, if there are no blade fragments, there is no way to talk about recasting, because there is no substitute material."
"So, does it have to be the original fragments of the Holy Sword?"
Just when Regin thought he had found a good reason, he met that cloudy gaze, and after hearing what the great sword sage said, he felt his heart beat half a beat slower.
What does this sentence mean...
Although Hoder's voice was extremely calm, to Regin, it was like a bomb thrown into a calm lake, and a splash exploded in his heart instantly.
His thoughts were at a standstill at this moment, obviously he only needed to think deeply...or he already knew the answer to this aspect, but he was unwilling to continue thinking about the fear of the future prophecy that existed in his heart.
And Hoder was not in a hurry, he just waited quietly, waiting for Regin's response, and in his vision, the task target had been quietly crossed out.
[Mission Objective: Talk to Regin about the materials (1/1)]
In its place are new goals...
[Mission Objective: Find the source of Asa Iron (0/1)]
To a certain extent, this task goal can be regarded as validating Hoder's guess. The fragments of Gram itself are not necessary, and there is no need for Hoder to perform a seven-in and seven-out palace to snatch out the possible fragments. To put it bluntly Yes, what Regin needs is only the main material.
"Do you have materials on hand?" Finally, Regin, who finally recovered from the shock, asked.
His voice was a little dry, filled with shock, disbelief, and a hint of helplessness, but Hoder didn't answer him directly, he just clicked on his inventory and dragged the items in it come out.
From Regin's perspective, the man with the name of a sage finally did something worthy of the title of "sage". His finger lit in the air, activating the ancient rune magic, and Regin recognized it , the combination and arrangement of the runes constitute something like space magic.
With the flash of the rune's brilliance, a large pile of items appeared in front of him, and one after another they all fell to the ground and ate dirt, showing no pity at all.
They are all arms and armor, magnificent and strong, and without exception: here are all women's weapons: a crown covering the upper half of the face, a breastplate with openings for wings, gauntlets, shoulder armor, and finally There's even a standard warblade.
Moreover, Regin's vision is quite vicious. Before he started wandering, he had seen these equipments and women wearing these equipments in his own home.
"These are... the weapons of the Valkyries." After confirming that he was not dazzled, he felt that his throat was a little dry, and his head was even a little heavy.
"Yes, that's right." He casually picked up the epic-quality Valkyrie Warblade from the ground and looked at it, before he said.
"What did you do? Go to Asgard to rob the warehouse?"
Haha, I really want to go...
When he heard Regin say that, Hoder couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.
This is true. In fact, if World Tree Company hadn't only opened the map of the human world of 'Midgard' so far, he really wanted to go to Asgard to rob, because after going through the plot, He really didn't like the Asa Protoss.
But now, he definitely has no way to go, and it is impossible for him to admit it. God knows if talking here will cause any problems, so he still shook his head.
"These are...the Valkyries," he said. "I was late for the battle to break the city."
Although there is no way to tell the NPC about the player and the instance, just like the NPC will link the player's experience with the time flow of the game world, Hoder also has a way to convert these into information that the NPC can easily understand, for example...
"The fortress where the Valkyries lived was empty, and when I returned to the castle, I saw those women gathering the dead bodies on the battlefield."
The subsequent process was completely omitted, and Hoder just added a sentence at the end:
"They still wanted to take away the broken Gram, and then I stopped them. These are my trophies."
You fucking call that blocking?
After hearing what Hoder said, Regin only felt that his heart was a little blocked. He knew that Hoder was a maverick, but he didn't expect him to be like this...
"How many of them did you kill?"
Then Hoder fell silent.
How many did you kill? ?
