Had it not been for Nangong Wuyue's reminder, Hao Ren would have really forgotten about it.
In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t know anything about Norse mythology. In fact, he knows the connection between Mimir and Ugdora Hill in the original mythology, but since he came into contact with the real product of Norse mythology, his cognition has gradually changed. Blurring: the wise giant Mimir has become the guardian race of the dream plane, the body of Ugudora Hill is actually the eldest son, and even Loki's daughter, Hela, the God of Death, is just a lonely and gloomy girl , so he gradually forgot the setting in the fairy tale...
Immediately, he contacted Mimir who was watching the situation in the Athens shelter.
Because the aliens are busy forming a new regulatory agency "Shadow Council", and they need to understand the many truths behind the demon hunters, Mimir, a special individual who is both an ancient alien and a consultant to the demon hunters, has become the asylum of Athens A very important person in the institute. The old giant is now trusted by the Sanctuary, and he is busy every day. When Hao Ren called, he could still hear fierce arguments in the background sound on the other side. One of the sharp voices was very familiar. It should be Heather Anna Arguing about issues...or just fighting.
"Hello, friend," Mimir's voice was still so unhurried, but as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the chaotic arguments in the background sound.
"It's quite lively over there," Hao Ren said with a smile, "Who is Heather Anna arguing with again?"
"I'm in a meeting, and the little girl is arguing with the members of the Lucas family," Mimir's voice seemed to be a little smiley, "The first group meeting after the establishment of the Shadow Council, we are discussing the first batch of people leaving the shelter. There is a problem with the number of people.”
Hao Ren was a little surprised: "The Shadow Council has entered into formal operation? Quite quickly, and you are also a member?"
It took two seconds for Mimir's voice to come over: "Actually, I'm already the chairman of the Shadow Council now."
"What?!" Hao Ren couldn't control his surprise this time, "You have become the speaker?!"
Mimir hummed, and couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations. To him, this was not something to make a fuss about. He had experienced a lot in his life. He even served as an advisor to a witcher.
But Hao Ren really couldn't calm down. He had thought that Mimir, a special ancient, would have extraordinary prestige among the aliens. It is not uncommon to get a place in the Shadow Council. After all, the ancients have a halo of face wherever they go, but it is more frightening for this old giant to directly become the chairman of the Shadow Council: He has already left the heterogeneous society. For more than two thousand years, he had lived as an advisor to the witchers during those years—a valuable, but undoubtedly embarrassing position, if the hunting wars hadn't been over. This identity even belongs to a "black account" that cannot be made public. In addition, he has no foundation in the heterogeneous group, and he has no influence in the Athens Sanctuary. It can be said that, apart from the aura of face that comes with him, he is completely an "outsider" in the Sanctuary.
With neither power nor contacts, how could Mimir be elected as the speaker suddenly
"With the support of the Hesianna family, and the help of Hela—Although Hela has a withdrawn personality, she seems to have a say here," Mimir smiled meekly. Simply explaining the situation over there, "Of course the more important reason is that they are not suitable for anyone."
Hao Ren was not stupid. He knew what was going on when he heard the words "no one is suitable". In the final analysis, the support of a family and an ancient person are only one-sided reasons. The root cause is probably that the families in the sanctuary are disobedient to each other, and under the premise that everyone wants to make a fool of themselves when they meet. No matter who you choose to be the boss, you will inevitably end up pretending to be halfway and dying in the middle, so it is impossible for them to elect a speaker from within.
In this case, a mascot speaker who is highly respected but has little power is the best choice, because as long as the structure of the Shadow Council is reasonable, the position of "speaker" basically has no power. It is appropriate and reasonable for the ancient man, who has no relatives and relatives, and who naturally dislikes being in charge, to sit in this position: anyway, he just needs to sit in that position to ward off evil spirits.
What's more, he also knew Vivienne.
certainly. The development of things is always unpredictable, and the current head of the Shadow Council is a guy who doesn't care. But Hao Ren didn't know how the situation would change after a few years. After all, this was a brand new organization, and all its developments had to wait and see.
"Actually, I'm not interested in this position," Mimir said unhurriedly, "but the little girl Hessiana persuaded me with her hard work. Let's not mention my situation here, what do you need from me?"
Hao Ren came to his senses immediately, and nodded quickly: "Oh, yes, I want to ask you something—are you familiar with Ygudora Hill?"
"Yugudora Hill...familiar?" Mimir was taken aback, as if thinking of something, "How do you know it can communicate?"
As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he knew: there is a door!
"Few people know how to communicate with Ugudora Hill, and most people don't even know that it has a mind," Mimir said slowly, "Odin knows about it, but he can't understand it. Nid Hogg also knew about the thoughts of a plant, but he went crazy when he tried to listen to the voice of Ugdora Hill, and finally burned himself to death. Besides, even the Nordic The ancient gods only regard Ugudora Hill as a plant, they have never tried to talk to the 'World Tree', and I never allow them to talk to it: one is enough for Nidhogg. "
"So you really know how to communicate with 'World Tree'?" Hao Ren's tone was full of expectation, "Do you often communicate?"
"I have been able to hear the voice of Ugudora Hill since I was conscious," Mimir smiled, "It is easy for me. But the way of thinking of the World Tree is very special, you have to ask me about it Ideas don’t make sense, and it’s hard to express them clearly in words.”
Hao Renxin said that he had successfully connected with the spirit of the eldest son, and he was not crazy, but it is obviously digressing to say these things at this time. He bluntly told Mimir what happened today: "We used Gungnir's fragment resonance to successfully find the remnants of the Ugudora Hill space chain, and if it's correct... opened the door."
After hearing the news, Mimir was no longer calm: "You found it?! How is that place now?"
"It ran away," Hao Ren sighed, "We didn't know that Ugudora Hill was still alive..."
After a while, he told the other party the truth about what happened today. Mimir fell into silence for a few seconds after listening, and finally the old giant sighed: "It's so far away... among the stars, not long ago I I still didn't believe that I would have the opportunity to leave this planet, but I didn't expect that Yugudora Hill has been wandering in the universe for two thousand years, and it still has this kind of power, and it can survive the big bang .”
Lily was a little curious: "You don't know that Ugudora Hill has the power to transfer space?"
"I don't know," Mimir replied, "it has never shown such great power, even when the demon hunter attacked God's Domain, it didn't respond at all, but now think about it... the super weapon of the demon hunter is just Cutting off the link between the Nine Kingdoms and the main material plane did not fundamentally harm Ugudora Hill, so I am afraid that World Tree did not regard this as a threat at all from the beginning."
"This is new information," Vivian raised her eyebrows, "I'm also wondering how it was exiled from the earth by the demon hunters with such power."
Hao Ren coughed lightly: "Ahem, let's not talk about this, the key is that it ran away, we suspect that our tentative behavior 'scared' World Tree, so..."
"So you need my help, I know what to do," Mimir said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem, but are you sure you can find it out again?"
Hao Ren smiled confidently: "Of course I'm sure, I can launch a great search force."
"Then there's no problem," Mimir readily agreed, "I can help at any time. But I can't leave for too long: the affairs of the Shadow Council have just begun, and even if I am a nominal speaker, I still have a lot of things to do."
Of course, Hao Ren understood this, and afterward, he curiously asked some questions about Ugudora Hill: "Speaking of which, since you used to chat with 'World Tree' often, you know what it's thinking Does it have memories of the home world?"
"There should be no memory," the old giant replied, "and when I establish a mental connection with it, I always feel that it is in a chaotic and slow state. It lacks response to external stimuli and lacks active thinking. Activity, at least that's what I think of Uggudra Hill, but based on how you described it's reaction speed when it 'run away', I think it's much sharper now."
Hearing Mimir's answer, Hao Ren became thoughtful. (to be continued~^~)
