Chapter 311 The Law of Causality, the Old God King, the God of Rage (7K for monthly ticket)

On the boundless ice field, the wind was as cold as a knife, the snow was falling heavily, and even the air was frozen into ice.

The giant wolf was huge, with ice-blue eyes and snow-white hair. It held a huge sword tightly in its mouth, with ancient runes flashing on the sword.

"How come you have a sword in a tree?"

The giant wolf's deep voice echoed above the grim ice field, with a hint of disbelief in its tone.

"Did you pass His test?"

In the center of the ice field, Hilde stood in the snow, wearing a blood-red cloak, holding a giant sword as rough as a block of iron, confronting a giant wolf with a frost blade in its mouth.

After hearing the words of the giant wolf Frye, Hildreth instantly thought of many things and was not in a hurry to tell the truth.

She wore an eagle helmet with wings on both sides. Dark golden fighting spirit ignited in her palms. The flames spread from the hilt to the blade. She said coldly:

"Let me into the sanctuary first, and then I will answer your questions."

The giant wolf stopped talking, crouching with its body lowered, its muscles tense, its blue eyes revealing cold murderous intent.

Boom! The roar was like thunder, and the giant wolf leaped up like lightning, bringing with it a gust of wind, and pounced like a mountain, and the rune sword in its mouth became more and more dazzling! Hilde stepped forward, the giant sword tore through the air, and slashed towards the giant wolf's abdomen with a fatal move!

Ding! The giant sword collided with the frost blade, making a deafening roar.

Ice and snow flew everywhere, and the giant wolf used the force of the rebound to move nimbly in the air. Its sharp claws condensed extremely cold energy and became even sharper, and it slashed down fiercely!

The sound of breaking wind came with a whistling sound.

Hildreth took several steps back, neutralizing the giant wolf's attacks one by one.

After the giant wolf Frye landed on the ground, he crouched on all fours, with a human-like surprise in his eyes. He praised: "You have some shadows of the Wild Hunt!"

Why did he suddenly mention the Wild Hunt? Was there a cause and effect between the King of the Wild Hunt and this mad god? Hilde had no time to think about it, and drew his sword to meet the wolf. The sword light and the wolf shadow intertwined again.

Hildreth's movements were like dancing in the cold wind, sharp and precise; the giant wolf's sword was fierce and swift, relying on its majestic body to continuously attack.

boom!!

The fierce battle erupted with a terrifying roar, shocking Sora who was standing aside.

The Asian dragon swallowed nervously and looked at the serious-looking troll Ogg, saying in disbelief:

"Do all your people have to go through such a brutal battle before entering the sanctuary?"

"No, Ogg thinks it's because of her special situation."

Og scratched his bald head.

"My friend Wall said that the giant wolf Frye is just a remnant soul living in the rune sword... There is no need to decide life and death, as long as we can hold on until its energy is exhausted!"

Sora was still a little nervous.

After all, to be able to force Lord Hildreth, who was at the peak of the fifth ring, to this point, the giant wolf’s residual soul alone had the terrifying power of an emperor-level monster! However, Sora was surprised to find that Lord Hildreth was gradually gaining the upper hand.

She seemed to always be able to accurately predict the attack route of the giant wolf Frey, and was very familiar with its flaws, repeatedly avoiding the killer moves before the giant wolf attacked! On the battlefield, the giant wolf Frey became more and more frightened, and sensed something strange from Hildreth.

——Does she have the ability to read minds? Can she always see through my next attack?

Seeing that the situation was critical, the giant wolf Frye howled to the sky, and the cold wind condensed into a huge frost blade under the sky!

Boom! A giant blade that seemed to be able to split mountains in half fell from the sky, carrying the oppressive feeling of a huge object falling!

Huh! As if Xilude was prepared, he quickly moved back several dozen meters.

The giant blade slashed through the air, roaring like thunder, and Hilde stood motionless in the terrifying air wave.

The giant wolf was panting, feeling that his trump card had already been seen through by the other party, and said in a strange tone:

"What's wrong with you...you seem to know my fighting style very well?"

At this moment, Hildreth dodged forward, seized the flaw left by the giant wolf, and fiercely swept the giant sword across. With a clang, dazzling sparks flew, and the giant wolf was chopped back ten meters away! Swish—

The giant wolf's sharp claws scratched deep marks on the ice, and its eyes were solemn, as if it was considering whether to continue attacking.

Looking at the alert giant wolf Frey through the diffuse ice fog, Hildreth adopted a psychological tactic and said, "Someone has taught me how to deal with you. I already know your tricks - you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible."

The giant wolf Frye's pupils contracted slightly.

Who is that person she is talking about?

His eyes once again fixed on the heavy and ancient black and red sword in Hildre's hand.

The giant wolf Frye was suddenly startled, as if he had suddenly realized something, and his fighting spirit instantly disappeared! The dark clouds covering the ice disappeared, and the snowflakes gradually stopped falling.

The frost blade in the giant wolf's mouth turned into star-like points of light, floating around and returning to the ice crystal altar.

"Well... just follow me."

The giant wolf Frye stared deeply at Hilde with his ice-blue eyes, then turned around and took steady steps toward the huge ice-carved rune gate standing in the middle of the two glaciers.

Seeing that the other party had no hostility, Hildes thought for a moment, put away the sword in the tree, and sent a message to Sora, who was full of shock:

"I will follow it to the sanctuary. You wait here for me."

"This could be a trap. Be careful, Lord Hildre!" Sora said.

Hildrede's mind flashed back to the surprised look on the giant wolf Fry's face when he saw the sword in the tree. He then glanced at the giant wolf's back as it walked away on its own, and said, "It's unlikely to be a trick... It must know something hidden. I'll find a way to make it tell the truth!"

Hildre stood in front of the giant ice-carved door, looking up at the door from a close distance, and saw the runes carved on the door emitting a cold blue light.

These runes are all products of the old era, and are fundamentally different from the runes transformed by the Goddess of Magic in terms of pattern composition.

At this time, Fry, the giant wolf beside Hildreth, closed his eyes and let out a thunderous growl, actually chanting a spell.

Rumble! The glacier shook off the snow, and the vast snow fog blocked the view. The ancient ice door opened a gap, which was enough for Hilde and the giant wolf Fry to pass through.

call--

A fierce wind blew in from this gap.

Even the dark gold fighting spirit of Hildreth was hard to resist, and he felt his teeth chattering, and a chill hit his soul! The giant wolf glanced at Hildreth, tilted his head slightly, and motioned for her to follow behind him. Then, the snow-white giant wolf took steady steps, and its thick fur resisted the wind and snow, and stepped into the sanctuary first.

The light suddenly dimmed, and the dark blue ice wall reflected ever-changing shadows, as if an ancient glacier was flowing in this sanctuary. Hildreth looked around and saw tall icicles, which reflected a light blue glow and were actually carved from a solid block of ice.

A square with towering icicles, huge murals, a mysterious statue on top of the ice steps... this sanctuary, so magnificently crafted, gave Hildreth the shock of being face to face with ancient ruins.

She couldn't help wanting to share this cold wonderland-like scene with Yeats.

But I found that any blessing here has lost its divine blessing.

"Is this also part of the divine realm?" asked Hildreth.

The giant wolf Fry looked at Hildreth with deep icy blue eyes, and said:

"Since you have obtained the sword in the tree, you should have been to His divine realm. You should also know that the figure you saw during the trial was Him—"

Hildre followed the gaze of the giant wolf Frye and looked at the towering statue of the Mad God.

He was an old man who looked no different from a human. He had a cloak carved from dark grey granite draped over his shoulders, the edges of which were inlaid with ice crystals that sparkled like stars. He wore a wide-brimmed hat and had a thick beard. In his hand he held a familiar spear. His left eye was tightly closed, and his deep right eye looked like a twinkling cold star.

Hildre couldn't help but hold his breath, with disbelief in his eyes.

The image of the nameless old man seen in the Sword in the Tree Trial gradually overlapped with the statue of the Mad God!

"The Mad God... is the god who set up the sword trial in the tree..." Hilde murmured.

"good."

The giant wolf Fry nodded, looked up at the Mad God statue, awe flashing in his eyes, and said:

"My ancestor was one of the two giant wolves that served the Mad God."

"The ancestor has the ability to devour everything. Even the Sun Devouring Wolf and the Moon Chasing Wolf cannot resist it."

The giant wolf Frye paused and said, "But those are all things that happened before Ragnarok, which is more than 4,000 years ago."

More than four thousand years ago, it was an era older than the Ancient Empire, the Snake Empire, and the Blood Empire. It was an era of gods and giants.

There were many question marks circling in Hildre's mind. He asked many questions at once and said:

"What position does the Mad God hold? What divine power does He have? Why is it so difficult to find any traces related to Him?"

"Priesthood?"

The giant wolf Frye shook his head slightly: "It is meaningless to discuss His priesthood, because He is an existence above the powerful divine power, the King of Kings, the God of Gods!"

Hildreth let out a breath of cold air.

The powerful divine power is the supreme existence.

Is there a god who is more immortal than a powerful god? "But this doesn't make sense..." Hildreth said incredulously, "How could such a great creature fall?"

"Even the most famous God of Light among all the gods, there are still many traces left in this world after His death." Hirud questioned again, "How could an existence with such powerful divine power even have all the records about Him erased?"

Giant Wolf Frye stared at the statue and said slowly:

"The God of Light is considered the one who has the greatest potential to become the God-King, but in the final analysis, he is not yet the God-King and cannot be on equal footing with the Supreme Being."

“And He also left traces…”

Giant wolf Frye said meaningfully:

"You have obtained one of the inheritances."

Hild was slightly startled and couldn't help but look back at the sword in the tree behind him.

Then, recalling the words of the giant wolf just now, Hildreth said in surprise:

"According to you, the King of the Wild Hunt, like me, has inherited the legacy of the Wild God. So, you said that I have the shadow of the Wild Hunt?"

The giant wolf Frye was silent for a moment, as if he had acquiesced, and then continued: "Fate will always guide living beings to find beings similar to him, and gods will also be driven by fate to find living beings with the same fate as him..."

"Can you take off your helmet and let me see your eyes?" the giant wolf Frye suddenly said.

Hildre was startled, nodded slightly, and took off the eagle helmet.

The giant wolf Frye's icy blue eyes fell on Hildre's injured left eye. He nodded slowly and whispered, "Legend has it that the Mad God sacrificed his left eye to the giant guarding the Fountain of Wisdom, and then hung himself upside down on a tree for seven days and seven nights, then drank the water of wisdom, and finally realized the supreme wisdom."

"Your fate is similar to His fate, which is also the important reason why you can obtain the Sword of God's Wrath." said the giant wolf Frye.

For some reason, Hildreth felt a pang of annoyance in her chest. The words of destiny seemed like a joke to her. She retorted, "I still can't understand what you call fate... If my left eye is not injured, can I not get the sword in the tree?"

"Causes lead to results. The spirit of my ancestors who served the God-King told me that this is the greatest law in the world."

The giant wolf Frye said obscurely and profoundly, "It is meaningless to worry about your current situation, because the source has already occurred... Only when the cause is created in the present can the result be produced in the future. This is the law of cause and effect."

"【Law of Causality】." Hilde murmured again.

Giant Wolf Frye continued, "You must have heard of the story of the Spinning Wheel of Fate - the three goddesses of fate weave the past, present and future. They will cut out those unexpected and wrong destinies and push everything towards the destined trajectory."

Giant Wolf Frye said coldly: "So, you found the sword in the tree purely by chance, but it was inevitable, just like our meeting here today... This is the thread of fate that was left behind when you started looking for clues about the Mad God, and it converges here."

"It's like a puppet of fate." Hildreth said coldly.

“There are exceptions.”

"What exception?"

Giant wolf Frye said, "King of the Wild Hunt."

Hildre said, "What do you mean?"

"The Mad God has fallen, just like the God of Light, and will never be resurrected. However, he can give birth to new light and new inheritance. Only those who transcend fate are qualified to obtain them."

Hild was stunned for a moment, and a guess quietly emerged in his mind.

Yeats and The King of the Wild Hunt have some similarities... Could it be that Yeats is also a person who transcends fate?

The giant wolf Frey looked at Hirud and pleaded, "If you are willing...please let me go with you."

Facing Hildurd's puzzled look, the giant wolf Frye said slowly:

"I am looking forward to your future fate... I also want to know what kind of cause and effect exists between you and the Mad God..."

"And the one who told you about me, the one who seemed to be able to see through fate—"

The corners of the giant wolf Frye's mouth slowly curled up, revealing a ferocious and awe-inspiring smile.

“I am looking forward to meeting him, too.”

"Sorry." Hildreth refused coldly, "I'm not used to traveling with outsiders."

"I can sign a contract with you." Giant Wolf Frye said, "When you need it, summon my soul... just like my ancestors, swearing allegiance to the Mad God."

Hildrede was unmoved and asked, "So, what is the price?"

"The price is... I want to meet the human you just mentioned who knows me." The giant wolf Frye added:

"If you find other inheritances related to the Mad God in the future, you must share the news with me!"

Hildre knew that the change in the giant wolf Fry's attitude had a lot to do with the sword in the tree in her hand and its curiosity about Yeats.

The battle at Morningfrost Ridge was imminent, and if he could get help from the giant wolf Frye, that should be of some help to him.

Hild made up his mind and nodded, "It's a deal!"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

* Morningfrost Ridge, Swordwinterhold.

Ye Zhi looked at the figure of Hilde in the water curtain and learned about her experience in the Mad God Temple. She was surprised:

"You signed a pet contract with the giant wolf Fry?!"

"It's not a pet contract... it's just a temporary companionship." Hildreth paused and said, "Although I do need the help of the pet plane to summon it."

Ye Zhi complained: "This is no different from a magical pet."

The giant wolf Frye is a famous rookie killer. In the original story, he guards the ruins of the Mad God. He holds a frost blade in his mouth and has killed countless players.

Yeats had almost forgotten Frye's background, but he knew very well that he was a very powerful monster.

There is indeed a bond between the giant wolf Frey and the Valkyrie Hildre. According to the timeline in the game, Hildre's swordsmanship was instructed by the giant wolf Frey.

However, due to the influence of this butterfly, many plots in this world have changed a lot compared to what Yeats remembered -

The giant wolf Frye actually went from being Hildreth's swordsmanship instructor to becoming her magical pet that accompanied her in battle! Ye Zhi felt incredible, but at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of "fate".

Two threads of fate that seem to have changed direction will eventually connect, but the form of their intersection will be subtly different.

As the destined protagonist of the game named "Valkyrie", Hildreth ascended to the holy throne soon after Candela opened up the Sanctuary Era.

On her road to ascension, Fry, the giant wolf who possessed ancient knowledge, gave her great help.

"It's also an old thing from the ancient times. The giant wolf Frye can fight in battle, teach swordsmanship, and can serve as a mount..."

Yeats was in a delicate mood.

"Drilltooth has a very impressive background, but up to now, he is just a mascot who likes to stir up trouble..."

"The Mad God's divine domain still remains in the Mad God's Sanctuary, blocking the blessing of the God of Love. I can't communicate with you right away." Hildreth carefully asked for advice and said, "The giant wolf Fry said that it wants to meet with you. If you disagree, I will discuss it with it..."

Ye Zhi didn't care. After all, he also had many questions and wanted to ask the giant wolf Frye in person.

"No problem. I'll meet Lai Fu when you return to Morning Frost Ridge!"

"It's Fry, not Leifer," Hilde corrected.

"It's good enough that you didn't call it Wangcai."

Ye Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Are there any other discoveries in the Mad God's Temple?"

Hildrede then recounted to Yeats what the giant wolf Fry had told him about the origin of the Mad God, the law of causality, and how the King of the Wild Hunt had inherited the throne.

Ye Zhi was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said in shock:

"Mad God, is he the king among all the gods?"

"It seems that he is still a God-King who has fallen and will never be resurrected." said Xilude.

Ye Zhi calmed down, his heart full of surprise.

Why does this sound so much like Odin, the main god in Norse mythology?

Soon, Ye Zhi sorted out the thread and seemed to be thinking about something.

It should be said that "Phantom Wings" is a patchwork of many mythological systems, and the prototype of the mad god in the background of the plot is taken from Odin.

Odin is an Old Norse name meaning anger and rage.

The mad god who once ruled the nine worlds, his full name should be [God of Fury].

The God of Fury was also the God-King who ruled the era of the Central Garden Continent four thousand years ago.

At the end of the reign of the God of Rage, many catastrophic events occurred, including the Fall of the God of Light, Fimbulwinter, and Ragnarok.

The original work used a fragmented narrative for these events, combined with conspiracy theories, and a group of players suspected that apostles under the Apocalypse system participated in this world-destroying war.

"According to Frye, the sword in the tree that I got is a legacy left by the Mad God, just like you got the lyre from the God of Light."

Hildrede pondered and said, "And the King of the Wild Hunt...seems to have also received the inheritance from the Mad God!"

Ye Zhi suddenly realized that a mystery that had puzzled him had been solved, and murmured:

“So that’s how it is!”

"What do you know?" asked Hildreth.

"The King of the Wild Hunt is a god who can travel freely in the material world. He does not need a vessel to descend. In other words, there is a high possibility that the King of the Wild Hunt is a god who ascended from a human and did not abandon his body in the material world..."

Ye Zhi said: "And the legendary spear in the hands of the King of the Wild Hunt is the inheritance he obtained from the God of Fury!"

It is almost certain that my adoptive father is the King of Lorraine.

Yeats thought to himself.

It is rumored that Lorraine, who was at the sanctuary level, did not die, but found a secret realm that no one knew about, climbed the Rainbow Bridge, reached the long steps to godhood, and achieved godhood.

Combining the information provided by Hilde, we can make inferences——

When Lorraine was on the verge of death, he inherited the legacy of the God of Fury, held the Eternal Spear 'Gungnir', and put on the vest of the King of the Wild Hunt... This possibility is very high! It is true that Emperor Lorraine will return like lightning.

After all, when the King of the Wild Hunt appears, there is always wind and thunder.

Faced with Ye Zhi's blunt words, Hilde asked in surprise: "How do you know that the Mad God's name is [God of Fury]?"

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "It's an intuition."

Xilude felt more and more that Ye Zhi had many secrets, but since Ye Zhi was still unwilling to speak out, Xilude would not force it and said softly:

"Since that meteor-like spear is the legacy of the Mad God, how did you come to an agreement with the King of the Wild Hunt to borrow the spear?"

Ye Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I haven't figured out the reason yet... Maybe I am gifted and naturally compatible with that divine weapon."

Artifacts also require adaptability.

Ye Zhi and the Silver Oak Sword are highly compatible.

Of course, he and the Lyre also have a good relationship... He is a central air conditioner and is friendly to everyone!

Hildre nodded slightly and said, "When I use the sword in the tree, I am sometimes affected by the anger contained in the sword... Maybe your intuition is right. Fury is the authority of the Mad God."

"Besides that, I still don't understand the [Law of Causality] that Frye mentioned."

Hildreth subconsciously turned to his think tank for help and asked, "Ye Zhi, what do you think?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

The law of cause and effect is the most important law born naturally in this world. Before this law was conceived, everything was in chaos. Cause and effect appeared one step earlier than time and space.

“Even the powerful gods who control time and space cannot interfere with cause and effect,” Ye Zhi said.

After explaining this to Hildurde, she roughly understood it and said:

"In other words, whoever masters the [Law of Causality] is qualified to peek into the realm above the powerful divine power?"

Ye Zhi said: "You can say that."

"At present, no one knows which god holds this law... It may even become an obstacle for us..."

Hild raised his bright eyes, his amber-like golden eyes were filled with determination, and said:

"Ye Zhi, in the future, I will continue to aim for the Holy Land. Only in this way..."

Hildreth was hesitant to speak, the second half of the sentence she was too embarrassed to say was, "Only in this way can I protect the people I cherish."

Yeats understood Hilde's idea and said with a smile:

"Let's go back to Morning Frost Ridge and rest for a while."

Hildre's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently, whispering, "That will have to wait until the war is over... I will continue to stay in the North, responsible for gathering military intelligence, and pass on the latest intelligence to you!"

The water curtain dissipated.

Yeats sat at his desk, organizing his thoughts.

Something must have happened between the God of Fury, the King of the Wild Hunt, and the Apocalypse Forces behind the Church.

But that is not an area that he can currently explore. The most urgent task is to eliminate the threat of the orc coalition.

Yeats examined the spread-out military map.

According to the currently known information, the coalition forces invading the territory are composed of the Centaur Tribe and the Orc Tribe, and have at least two Five-Ring Heroes.

Considering that orcs are good at taming beasts, emperor-level monsters with five-ring combat power should also be taken into consideration.

Ye Zhi planned to lead the Frostwolf Cavalry personally to cut off the coalition forces' supplies from behind. Even if he was facing the attack from two five-ring heroes at the same time, he was confident that he could kill the general and seize the flag.

on the other hand.

We also need to be on guard in White Night City.

Yeats called Grey and said that she was needed to guard the southern front.

"Then who will be your bodyguard?" Gray was a little reluctant.

"Phocas, Axe, come with me." Yeats said generously, "The defense of the southern line is very important. I can only entrust it to you, whom I trust the most."

Gray's unhappiness disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Since you said so, leave it to me!"

Zuanya stood at the corner of the desk, chewing melon seeds with his two little paws, and said casually: "The princess is going to the front line with Ye Zhi, Gray, are you sure you don't want to go with her?"

Ye Zhi's expression suddenly froze.

The atmosphere in the room became a little weird.

“Fake news!”

Yeats gestured as if he were playing an accordion.

"I just asked the princess and Little Red Riding Hood to take care of the wounded!"

Gray breathed a sigh of relief, quickly smiled, and left happily.

Looking at Gray's leaving back, Diamond blinked.

"Gray is so easy to coax!"

Ye Zhi snatched the melon seeds from Zuan Ya's hand, cracked them viciously, and said, "

"Wartime control! Don't even think about eating sunflower seeds this winter!"

Drilling teeth: |ω`) I was wrong, I will dare to do it again next time!
