The goddess of the future, Skuld, is one of the three goddesses of Norn. She has two older sisters.
There are different opinions on the origin of the three sisters. Their identities are not as clear as those of the Asa Protoss and the Vanir Protoss, and it is not even known whether they are related by blood. But the only thing that is certain is that compared to the gods living in their respective divine realms, they should be farther away from humans. The nearest to 'god', because the legendary Well of Fate is right on the edge of Midgard and can be reached on foot.
In the world view of "Nine Realms", countless people travel long distances, leave the atrium on foot, and experience many obstacles to come to the edge of the Well of Fate just to inquire about their own destiny. From Urðr, they can learn about their past and identity , You can know your current goal from Verðandi, and what you know from Skuld is your end.
This is unavoidable even for the gods, because Odin once received a prophecy about the "end" from Skuld, so he has been preparing for the arrival of that moment all the time.
It can be said that Skuld's prophecy is not a good thing for humans or gods, so when it comes to Skuld's prophecy, even Thrúd can't help showing a bad expression.
Especially Hoder's words...
"Is her prophecy credible?"
This sentence really has the taste of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. If Hoder asked such a question 60 years ago, Thrúd would not be surprised, but now, she feels a little irony inexplicably.
"Her prophecy has never been missed..." Looking at the cloudy eyes under Hoder's helmet, Thrúd said this after hesitating for a moment, "Including many people are like this, you know."
Although she thought she took care of Hoder's emotions, because even she herself was unwilling to mention what happened to the Siegmund family who had been together for a while and could even be called "friends", but her kind Obscure reminder' is tantamount to deception.
Because Hoder's circle in the entire game is not that big, he has always been in passive contact with NPCs, if it is not required by the mission, he will not look at the passers-by on the side of the road, and the background of the game is really miserable. Only a few were saved, so...
"Huh..." Hoder took a deep breath
Looking at Thrúd's face that he was so familiar with, he smiled. The logical thinking of these NPCs is really "Nordic". No big deal.
But because of this, as a player and an outsider, Hoder couldn't accept it, not only the fate theory unique to Viking and Norse legends, but also the player's anger at the limitations of the game. Of course, The most important thing is that Hoder himself cannot accept their attitude!
"If..." he said, "If you didn't play various roles in it, would they have such a result?"
Maybe, he has really calmed down. In Thrúd's eyes, compared to the hysteria he showed before when he even abandoned his honor and dignity, he is indeed calmed down now.
But even so, from his dull hoarseness, what the Valkyrie felt was a lingering coldness, and behind this coldness must be a condensed anger from the very beginning.
When did this dissatisfaction begin to accumulate...
In the end, Thrúd's memory was frozen in the former city of Völsunga, yes, it was at the funeral of the current Enheria leader Helgi. He did not attend directly, but wandered alone On the outside, and after everything was over, he walked into the tomb alone.
He stayed in the grave alone for a long time like this...
But that was just a complete explosion, and the dissatisfaction with the existence of the Valkyrie probably came earlier.
Moreover, just as he is questioning now, Hoder has never been a person who does not believe in 'fate', but...
"Yes, no matter what, this is fate, whether it is human beings or us..."
"Then tell me, what are the warriors gathered in Valhalla for?"
Then, Thrúd's breath stagnated, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To put it bluntly, Hoder still couldn't let it go, and what he said was something Thrúd couldn't refute no matter what. After all, this man had learned the runes, and after that, he even deciphered the words on Midgard's golden shield. The prophecy—that is the prophecy left by the goddess of fate to everyone.
If you really don't care, or accept your fate, then Asgard doesn't have to be in a long state of preparation.
She had no way to refute, and she didn't want to refute in this regard, so she simply shut up.
Seeing that the other party kept silent about it, Hoder finally shook his head.
"To put it bluntly, there is no necessary connection between them."
His eyes were cloudy, the kind of pupils that couldn't see any light were only deep, and Thrúd just stared at this kind of deepness. She wanted to say something several times, but in the end she still didn't say anything. Exit, waiting for Hoder's words.
"These are all caused by you."
Then, Thrúd showed a look of astonishment.
"and many more..."
Originally, she thought that with Hoder's experience and wisdom, he should be able to say some high-level theories in line with his status as a "sage", but this final conclusion directly slapped her in the face.
This feeling is like a child who made a mistake and blamed each other. It was difficult to explain the responsibility clearly, but he just threw it on the gods of God's Domain.
But is Hoder really wrong?
"If I remember correctly, I have proposed several times to slow down the war in a relatively mild way. I once hoped to resolve the conflict faster through negotiation, but how did you do it?"
It wasn't Thrúd, she had already returned to God's Domain at that time, and Hoder was referring to the Valkyrie who acted on behalf of the gods...
"Instigating wars, making the foundation of the country unstable, and laying dead bodies everywhere, the dead in the entire Midgard can form two or three kingdoms!"
His words echoed in the palace like this, and at the same time, his eyes were not idle, and he kept looking at these NPCs without bright blood bars.
Sigrún closed his eyes tightly, and Thrúd lowered his head. As for the other Valkyries, they did have deep thoughts on their faces, but more people showed disdain. The 'coward' label has never been removed.
"I would like to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"
If his question is put in reality, it is of course very reasonable, but this is "Nine Realms", where the game world view is traditional and rough, and the values of the Viking period are vividly reflected here.
"That's enough, it's your own business that you are tired of war! I don't know how the glorious people have the right to talk about Midgard's tradition!"
In this way, such a voice came from among the Valkyries crowd.
But before such a voice fell, Hoder waved his hand directly, and the combination of the three skill combinations that were almost bound together was released directly, and the three throwing knives shot from the item bar directly pierced the speaker's head, Neck and chest, nailed directly through.
Completely different from Legni's operation of not showing the blood bar, the Valkyrie quickly revealed her blood bar after being attacked-but because of this fatal attack, the blood bar was already empty.
"Hold your traditions and go back to Valhalla and wait to read the article, what kind of bitch who is waiting to climb into the bed of the 'hero' has the face to talk nonsense in front of me!"
The body of the Valkyrie fell limply, and at this moment, almost all the Valkyries behind Sigrún summoned their weapons. No matter who they were, their faces were full of anger. Among them, only Sigrún didn't, and the woman finally lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Why, are you not convinced?"
