"Where is that ship?" Hao Ren asked anxiously.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find." Mimir expressed regret with drooping eyes, "Although I didn't know what it was at the beginning, I thought it was the key to my memory and my hometown, so I hid it in a hot spring At the bottom of the lake, the lake was later connected to the space chain of Ugudara Hill, turning it into a fountain of wisdom, and my spaceship was gradually entangled by the roots of Ugudara Hill. If I guessed correctly, it gradually Transferred to the trunk of the 'World Tree'."
Hao Ren knew what Mimir wanted to say next.
"...Yogudora Hill has been blown up, and the demon hunter borrowed the remaining power of the goddess of creation to blow it up," Hao Ren frowned, "but your ship itself is also a kind of artifact, the aftermath of the explosion It’s not necessarily going to completely destroy it.”
"So it is most likely still floating in the space debris in Walter Alheim or Jotunheim. If those space debris collapses, it may have drifted to any corner of this universe. It is also a needle in a haystack," Mimir regretted. Said, "Yugudora Hill was destroyed... very thoroughly, the Nine Kingdoms were torn apart, I don't think you can find those space debris."
"Nine Great Kingdoms..." Hao Ren immediately thought of various legends about Nordic mythology. Two years ago, he was only interested in listening to these mysterious and ancient stories, but now he comes into contact with these things every day, and with them. Listening to Vivienne talking about the world thousands of years ago all day long, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge in this area, whether I like it or not, "It is said that the world tree, Ygudora Hill, runs through the entire universe and supports the nine worlds. Kingdom... But I know that the real universe is far larger than that described in the Norse mythology, so what kind of structure is that Yggdrasil?"
Hao Ren is not only interested in Nordic mythology now. In fact, Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology are equally interesting to him. However, from the legends of later generations, Nordic mythology is the only one that explicitly mentions the "Ragnarok" event, and the witch hunt People's historical records also mention that they launched the largest attack when they destroyed God Asa and God Vanir. Coupled with Mimir's relationship, he is now particularly curious about Ugudora Hill.
"The 'World Tree'...of course it cannot penetrate the entire universe. But it does penetrate and support the Nine Kingdoms," Mimir revealed a reminiscing look. "Those are nine different spaces. Even in the ancient times when various supernatural phenomena emerged endlessly, communities of different spaces with this structure were rare. And Ugudora Hill is an extremely ancient plant, its name is It is a tree, but in fact I don’t know what it is, I only know that its roots and branches travel through the cracks of time and space, connecting nine different spaces together like a string of necklaces. Following the root of that plant You can reach other spaces with a beard. After clearing the primitive creatures in the different spaces, the gods Asa and Vanir built them as fortresses, and built a fortress in one of the different spaces closest to the earth to observe human social activities. The 'Midgard closed laboratory', the later generations' saying about the Nine Kingdoms basically came from the survivors of Midgard."
Hao Ren thought for a while, and recalled the records he saw in the clock tower of the spirit world about the demon hunters attacking the Nordic pantheon: "The demon hunters directly attacked the connection of Ugudora Hill. ... so they probably didn't completely destroy the nine spaces, they just blew up the connection of the nine spaces and let them drift away from the earth's coordinates... "
"You really want to find my spaceship?" Mimir naturally knew what Hao Ren was obsessed with, "Well, like I said, Walter Alheim or Jotunheim. If you can find these two space debris If there is hope."
"This will be my target for the next period of time," Hao Ren stood up and added the newly acquired information to his schedule. "Now... let's go here first for the space sightseeing tour. I hope you can go to Athens with us."
"Athens..." Mimir narrowed his eyes. "Well, I'm also curious about what the descendants of the aliens living in the shelter look like. I've stayed in the clock tower of the spirit world for too long, and the last time I saw the outside world was the big explosion in Asgard At that time, I can only understand the changes outside from the books and talks of the witcher all these years—I think I should thank you, and it is not a bad thing to leave that place."
Hao Ren just smiled and said nothing.
After handing over the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace to the port staff, Hao Ren directly led his house full of demons and goblins to the Athens sanctuary on Earth.
The impact of the Corpus Rebellion this time is not limited to the demon hunter group, but also affects the entire "supernatural society" on the earth. Just now. The heterogeneous families in various refuges on the earth are also experiencing their own turbulent autumn-the sudden disappearance of natural enemies brings not only a sense of relief, but also a turbulent undercurrent that makes the heads of the families tense.
The vigilant old ones. The vacillating middle ages, and the new generation who are eager to overthrow the existing order at any time, after losing the pressure of the "demon hunter", all kinds of conflicts have arisen among these people. In addition, what is even more disturbing is the friction and rift between the various races: Although the truth of the great changes in the witcher has not yet become clear, some reckless guys have already begun to consider the issue of breaking out of the sanctuary and dividing the territory of power , and these stunned youths are a huge threat to anyone who is not of their race.
Just like what Hao Ren said: Whether you admit it or not, no matter what the cause is, the demon hunters have in fact created a "peaceful situation" for all supernatural races today. As the ultimate threat, they are the common face of all aliens The scourge is right, forcibly "pressing" those contradictory supernatural races together and keeping them away from the human world. And once this external pressure disappears, all kinds of ghosts and monsters will want to show up.
But they chose to take the lead in the 21st century when human civilization has developed, and this is a big problem.
Hao Ren asked Mimir to stay in his portable space for the time being (he hoped that the giant would show up at a more appropriate time), while he, Vivienne and others came to the antique shop in Hesperis.
This old shop shrouded in the atmosphere of the past time has not changed compared with the past. The small shop is still full of all kinds of strange old utensils, and almost everything seems to be covered with a thick layer. Dusty and dull, it looks like no guest has touched them at all. Hao Ren has every reason to believe that this shop in Hesperis has been impossible to make a sale since it opened - even though there are countless priceless "genuine goods" here, including masks worn by pharaohs, The crown on the queen's head, the stone slabs and papyrus of ancient sages, each piece is not only authentic, but still contains mythological power to some extent, but Hesperis has never really sold these things. Just put these old antiques on the shelf and let yourself be shrouded in this frozen time.
Although the "Goddess of Twilight" has always acted indifferently, every time he saw her antique shop, Hao Ren knew that she was no different from other ancients who survived the age of mythology: surrounded by In a pile of old antiquities, I used the remnants of history to piece together the glorious time in my memory. While wiping these old antiques, I recalled the days of those years, just passing away day by day.
When Hao Ren and his party walked into the antique shop, Hesperis just sat behind the counter, holding a faded iron mask, and wiped it over and over again, as if he didn't hear the sound of customers entering the door.
"The shadow intermediary is completely closed," Vivienne sat down in front of Hesperis unceremoniously, and took the iron mask away from the other party's hand. "The situation in the shelter is very bad? Don't you guys? Can the guy really be held hostage by a group of stunned youths?"
Hesperis looked at Hao Ren and his party, and curled his lips: "No, it's just that the commotion inside is too annoying. I'll come out to hide and be quiet, and close the door by the way to prevent some stupid young people from running out to make trouble."
After a pause, she threw the rag in her hand aside casually: "So... I guess you just came back from some terrible place? Do you understand what happened to the witcher?"
Hao Ren and Vivienne looked at each other, and he was the one who spoke: "We went to the headquarters of the witcher. If there is no accident, the hunting will be over."
"click"
With a crisp sound, a piece of the wooden counter was crushed by Hesperis. (to be continued~^~)
