The protoss compatriots living outside...
This was Hermod's conclusion. Although he didn't know why the protoss compatriots that he, the 'messenger', didn't know appeared in Midgard, but this fact cannot be changed after all.
During Hoder's confrontation with him, he was not only wary of the man whose anger had never subsided, but at the same time, his brain was also running fast.
Völsung, Siegmund, Hate...
Coupled with a truly recognized identity, the 'people' of Midgard who have a reason to do this should be...
"Are you... Sigi? Or Ingwi?" Hermod asked tentatively
Sigi, the ancestor of the Völsunga clan, the child of Odin and a mortal woman. The game world view of "Nine Realms" specially introduced this person. He is the ancestor of the Völsung clan. The king of gods has always protected him, so he was able to lead his men to fight north and south, and finally established the present Kingdom of the Netherlands.
But just like all heroes, when he was old, Odin's asylum finally left him, and he finally died in court infighting and was poisoned by his wife.
Ingwi, an outstanding hero of the Völsunga clan, the eldest son of Sigi, he was once unparalleled in bravery and was the pride of the Völsung clan, but finally disappeared mysteriously—a real disappearance, and the throne had to let him Inherited by his younger brother Rerir.
Legend has it that he is the incarnation of Frey, the king of the kingdom of elves, but the god of abundance from the Vanir protoss kept silent about it, so he didn't know the identity of the former hero Ingwi.
But now, in Hermod's head, Hoder's identity is infinitely closer to that of Völsunga's Ingwi, because if you think about it carefully, they have too much in common, not to mention combat effectiveness and Intrepid question, on top of that, Hoder has had the experience of 'disappearing':
He defeated the Valkyries before the royal city and took away the hilt of the holy sword, and then brought Siegfried back to the Netherlands and disappeared for nearly 20 years, although at that time, all the people including him Hermod Gods didn't pay attention to him, only Thrúd searched for his whereabouts whenever he had time, but no one knew where he went after he left the royal city.
Just this ability to appear and disappear is exactly the same as Ingwi, who has disappeared and has not appeared until now, so Hermod can't help but think about it.
And once he diverted his thoughts in this direction, Hermod felt that all the questions had been answered. Ingwi was the heir of Sigi. Although he was not as good as the demigods who were recognized as such, he was different from the Asa gods who joined the Asa clan. he is closely related. If he is not the incarnation of Frey, then he can only be recognized by Frey and join the Protoss.
And after a long time, seeing his clansman encounter such bad news, he couldn't help but help.
This is Hermod's current conclusion, but even he himself knows that this conclusion is wrong, not to mention Hoder himself, his guess is completely opposite to what Thrúd mentioned before, Before Ingwi disappeared, he was already a fighter who fought alone in the world, while Hoder was evaluated by Thrúd as a "fledgling", which is completely different, even if it is deliberately concealed.
After all, Thrúd is the daughter of Thor, and besides being a Valkyrie, she is already a goddess of strength. Even though her wisdom is not as good as Hermod's, she has her own unique understanding of martial arts. Absolutely newbie.
So for a while, after drawing these extremely contradictory but clueless conclusions in his heart, Hermod fell into confusion.
What is this all about...
With his status as an envoy who has traversed the entire Nine Realms and communicated with the gods, he has no clue about a person's origin and identity. Perhaps only the king of the gods on the supreme throne knows this identity. Ask the King of the Gods.
Remembering that his current divine power had declined to the point where he was unable to travel through the Nine Realms independently, Hermod covered his head in annoyance.
What is this and what...
It was just an act of fulfilling the order of the god king, not to mention inadvertently violating the taboo of the Asa protoss, and now his divine power has dissipated.
Although this does not mean that Hermod has become a mortal, but because of the punishment above the oath, if no one sends him back to the realm of the gods, he will be forced to experience a period of mortal life in Midgard.
And just when he was thinking this way, he saw the warrior in front of him move his pace again. Although the rune sword he was carrying couldn't hurt himself, and the mortal armor on his body didn't have any effect, but when he saw Hoder When he walked, he still felt bad.
"You may not know that this punishment is already the result of my intercession. If neither the God Queen nor I intercede with you, you are already dead under the meteor!"
It seems a bit wrong to say this...
When the envoy said these words, he couldn't help but think of the previous deeds of the king of the gods. He really wanted to use the spear of Gungnir to directly kill the variables that he couldn't control. If Odin hadn't Caring about his wife and son's pleading, and insisting on throwing the shooting star gun, what will be the consequences?
The blood oath of the Asa Protoss is something that all gods and kings must abide by. Malicious attacks and curses on compatriots will make the divine power continue to decline, and killing compatriots will completely disappear the divine power.
If Odin really fired the gun at that time, what would happen to him himself?
At this moment, Hermod, whose thoughts diverged inexplicably, thought about many things, but in the end, in the end, his thoughts had stagnated, because he saw the man in front of him start to take steps.
Although he had already put away his rune sword, he walked towards him unswervingly, which made Hermod feel inexplicably flustered.
He wanted to take two steps back, but at this moment, the divine power was still passing away, and the divine iron armor on his body became heavier and heavier, and he suddenly realized that he could not back up.
"You said, this is pleading?" the man asked
For Hoder, in fact, what Hermod is doing now is not important at all, all he cares about is other things.
For example...
"I want to ask you a question," he began. "You like war, don't you?"
This voice was as cold as the cold wind in Niflheim. Even when he heard this voice, a bad premonition gradually emerged in Hermod's heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're also called the 'War Messenger', right? You're the War Messenger, and you travel with the Valkyries, so of course you like war too."
But that's never what matters, what matters is...
"Not only are you qualified to control Odin's eight-legged steed, but you are also the custodian of Gungnir, right?"
The last sentence made Hermod fall into the abyss, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the eyes of the man in front of him were like a dark chaotic vortex.
