Faced with Claude's invitation, Vivienne's first reaction was to be a little more vigilant.
She has more than 10,000 years of qualifications, has seen all the big winds and waves that happened on this planet, and has also seen the big winds and waves that happened on other planets in recent years, she is not a timid person, she just feels that this restraint Lorde is eccentric, suspiciously eccentric.
A young demon hunter of the same class as Baihuo, no matter how amazingly talented he is in magic and combat skills, he still lacks the necessary qualifications and life wisdom. At least theoretically, such a young man must lack these two things . But the Claude in front of him obviously doesn't fit these characteristics, and he also frankly admitted that there is "something else" in his soul. Faced with this situation, Vivian had to ask one more question: "Before I leave with you, who are you? Is it Claude? Or something else? If it's an old guy, it's a big deal. We can talk openly and honestly, I think there should be no creature older than me on this planet, maybe we are old acquaintances."
"I am indeed Claude," the young witcher smiled, "it's true. But I also received an additional inheritance, which coexists with Claude's soul, allowing me to know the ancient Secret, and let me invite you here and now. Please come with me, I just want to take you to meet the master of that inheritance."
"Let's go there together?" Hao Ren pointed to himself and Lily next to him, "Isn't everything here reliable?"
"Everyone," the young demon hunter just nodded, and his eyes swept over Bai Huo and Tutan, "Everyone who appears in front of me at this moment and here should be invited. This is passed down from six thousand years ago." decree."
Another thing that spans time and space!
Hao Ren couldn't help but feel chills. He was the most indifferent to the situation where a guy who died thousands of years ago still left a prophecy saying what would happen in XX, XX, because fate and Prophecy is the most evil and difficult thing in his mind, and when he becomes a part of this kind of prophecy, he becomes even more vain. But Claude has already said this, he must not let this opportunity go. So finally bit the bullet and nodded: "Okay, let's go with you."
So this "young" demon hunter, who had been shrouded in mystery, led everyone out of the ceremony hall. Follow a secret passage deeper into the back of the hall. On the way, Hao Ren couldn't help leaning over to Bai Huo: "Honestly, what kind of person was Claude before?"
"I've said that, I don't have much contact," Bai Huo frowned. "Before he joined the Presbyterian Church, he was a taciturn and introverted guy. After joining the Church, he followed the rules and regulations. Basically, he lived a life of seclusion like the saints. According to the rules, the saint's attendants are not allowed to marry, buy property, leave the Northland, or even leave the Bell Tower of the Spirit World if it is not necessary. How do I know what changes have occurred before and after a guy who completely wraps himself up like this. "
Bai Huo and Hao Ren didn't lower their voices very much, so Claude could hear them clearly, but the young attendant had no grievances about it. He also patiently explained: "Each attendant of the saint is appointed through a ceremony, the old attendant retires at the ceremony, and the new attendant receives blessings at the ceremony. And some ancient memories will pass through this The ritual is passed on to successors. The history of demon hunters is too long, and we are the oldest race on this planet. Some secrets must be passed on in a safe way."
Hao Ren perfunctory, finally, led by Claude to a secret room.
Claude stood still at the door of the secret room, activated the heavy ancient substantial door, and the door floated open upward without a sound: "Please go in, an ancient person has something to say to you."
Hao Ren and Vivienne looked at each other, and they walked into the room side by side.
Then I was terrified by the scene inside.
There is no furniture in the perfectly circular room, only a huge altar-like thing is placed in the center, and on this altar is a huge head with a height of two meters. The head was old and shriveled. His hair was white and wrinkled. There was a majestic aura on the dark red face.
There is only such a head.
Lily, who came in later, was also taken aback, and then went forward to check the condition of the head with the funny and bold spirit that a husky should have. She wanted to see if the neck and body were hidden in the altar under the head. , but just as she was about to step forward, the head slowly opened its eyes.
A pair of slightly cloudy eyes, but still full of wisdom, slowly swept across Hao Ren and his party, and then everyone heard a voice resounding in their minds: "You are here, it seems that this disaster It was solved by you."
Hao Ren stared at this head for a while before suddenly realizing what it was: a guardian giant!
A kinsman of Muru and Limendusa, a loyal guardian of the Creator, a guardian giant—but with only one head.
The others obviously recognized the race of this head, but they all realized that the current situation was unknown, so no one rashly mentioned the names of the Goddess of Creation and the eldest son. Even Lily, who was heartless, tried her best to cover her face. Mouth: She almost blurted out the word "Guardian", but fortunately she reacted quite quickly.
Vivienne cautiously stared at the giant's head, not sure if this guardian who wandered on the earth was shocked by the memory in the process of crossing the wall of reality like other aliens: "You are..."
"Old friend, you really lost your memory again," the voice of the giant's head came again, with a slight smile in its gentleness, "Well, there happen to be many faces I saw for the first time, so let me introduce them: You can call me Mimir."
"Mimir?!" Lily yelled suddenly, "In Norse mythology, the wise giant Mimir who guarded the Fountain of Wisdom, tricked Odin, and was finally chopped off by the Vanir Protoss?"
Lily's tongue-in-cheek babbling is unstoppable for ordinary people. Before Hao Ren could react, she had already balabala said all these thoughtless words, but the giant head didn't show any anger. This huge head Just a slight smile: "It was an accident, clumsy Heiner shouldn't have touched the mechanical table, Vanaheim's sun prism melted my body. Regretful loss, but my head is alive and well, and… "
The head of the giant said humorously, and at the same time, many runes suddenly lit up on the ground near the altar. Under the light of the runes, various utensils floated out from every corner of the room, moving flexibly in the air .
"I can still take care of myself."
Hao Ren stared: "So... the giants in Nordic mythology are actually guardians... Is that you?"
As soon as he asked this question, he felt that something was wrong, and then he realized in an instant: what a powerful creature the guardian giants are. Even without the support of superb technology, these demigods still have the power to crush mortal species. If only one guardian giant falls alone among those ancient "gods", it's okay to say that they are not as powerful as the eldest son without equipment support, and they can be piled to death by mortal species, but if the giants in Norse mythology A whole family of these Guardians...
The age of mythology was pacified by them long ago, and what happened to the later demon hunters fighting the gods.
Sure enough, Mimir smiled: "It seems that these stories have been misrepresented as I expected. There is only one wise giant, and that is Mimir. The other giants are different from me."
Vivienne has been serious since just now, she is trying to toss her messy memory, but she can't remember anything related to Mimir. In other words, she remembered that she once knew the "wisdom giant" in the Nordic series, but she couldn't remember the appearance, life, and acquaintance experience of this giant at all. She couldn't help but patted her forehead: "It's too bad, I can't remember anything about you at all. You were caught here by a witcher?"
Although Mimir's true identity is a demigod guardian created by the goddess of creation, in the mythology system on this side of the earth, he is a member of the Norse mythology, and the demon hunters ended the Norse mythology—so Mimir's head The only explanation for his presence at the Spirit World Clock Tower is that he was caught here.
"Initially, yes," Mimir replied slowly, "but then I stayed willingly. They needed my wisdom, my knowledge and advice, and I needed a safe place to live. Especially after learning that they After knowing the history of their hunting, knowing the reason why they started hunting, and knowing the many secrets they kept, I couldn't leave-these reckless little creatures touched things that shouldn't be touched, I have no ability to lift the curse, but At least it can delay its onset, and wait until you, old friend, come here to solve the remaining problems. Now it seems that my waiting is worthwhile after all, although it seems that the process is not as I imagined." (To be continued~^ ~)
