Chapter 507 Dad, it's getting cold, let me put on some clothes for you
The third day, early morning.
Lorne rushed out of the room angrily and looked around:
"Where's Freya?"
"Oh, she said she had something urgent to do and went back to Asgard last night."
Holo, squatting on the roof, answered with a smile while chewing an apple.
"She ran fast!" Luo En muttered angrily and noted down the account with a sullen face.
Holo looked at Lorne's coat that was torn into strips, as well as the obvious teeth marks under the clothes, and winked:
"After a whole day and night of hard work, little Eden is quite capable."
Hearing the teasing in those words, Luo En raised his head and looked at his filial daughter:
"Holo, is your butt a little itchy lately? Can I rub it for you?"
Feeling the malice in that gaze, Holo instinctively stiffened and quickly coughed to change the subject:
"By the way, Dad, your friends came back last night, and they seemed to want to see you for something. But since you were busy, we put them in other rooms. Since you're awake now, let's go and inform them!"
Having said that, Holo rushed out of the yard before her old father could make a move.
Looking at the butt running away quickly, Lorne couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.
The child has grown up and is much smarter than before, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with him.
A moment later, Holo returned to the courtyard with Galadriel, Rose, and Ciri.
After a few simple greetings, Galadriel got straight to the point and spoke first:
"I am here to say goodbye to you. I hope you will allow me to do so."
"Leaving? Why?"
Lorne put down his teacup, a hint of surprise on his face.
Galadriel nodded, exchanged a glance with Ciri behind her, and then spoke somewhat embarrassedly:
"With your status and ability, you don't need our protection at all. On the contrary, you have taken care of us a lot along the way, which made us deeply aware of the shortcomings of our own abilities. Therefore, Xili and I have discussed that we want to take our own path and grow up as quickly as possible, so that we can be qualified to accompany you and fulfill the oath we made."
After hearing this, Loen was not surprised.
Whether it's Ciri or Galadriel, these little girls gathered around him are all outstanding.
The more outstanding a person is, the prouder he is in his heart.
Along the way, they met masters from all over the nine kingdoms, experienced one dangerous crisis after another, and gradually felt their own inability to cope with high-end situations.
As outstanding and proud beings, they find it difficult to tolerate themselves becoming objects of protection or a burden that holds the team back, and naturally they are eager to grow and prove themselves.
As a former heroic mentor and guide to civilization, Loen naturally understood that a good horse could not run in a courtyard.
He took a sip of honey water and asked slowly:
"Any specific plans?"
"I plan to return to the Elven Kingdom first and complete the trial of succession to the throne. I will use my abilities to break the arrogance and prejudice of the older generation of light elves, bridge the gap between the light elves and dark elves that has existed for thousands of years, and accumulate strength for the prophesied [White Frost Era] that may come."
Galadriel answered seriously, her slightly childish face exuding the elegance of a king.
However, this is not a very good option.
Because for the entire Northern Europe, the biggest problem is that there are too many [Kings] and too few resources in the world.
The one in Asgard probably doesn't want to see an elf race that eliminates hatred and moves towards unity to challenge the status of the Aesir.
If she insists on doing so, Galadriel is likely to repeat the mistakes of Rose.
Luo En sighed and gave a veiled advice:
"Do we have to do this? This is a very dangerous road."
"I know what you mean."
Galadriel nodded, then took Rose and Ciri's hands and answered solemnly,
"But this answer is not only for myself, but for all the elves. I don't want my race to be filled with only disputes and hatred, and to be caught in an endless fight because of skin color and bloodline."
“You could die.”
"We are all mortals. It's an honor to die in the right place."
Hearing Galadriel's resolute answer, Lorne seemed to see familiar figures in the elf girl.
He pursed his lips, and finally gave up trying to dissuade her. Instead, he took off a pendant from his neck and handed it over.
"This is a talisman given to me by a friend. I am giving it to you now. I hope it can protect you when I am not around."
"No, it's too expensive."
Galadriel felt the powerful divine power on the pendant and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Take it. With this thing, Frey won't make things difficult for you."
After hearing Lorne's reminder, Galadriel no longer refused and felt a deep warmth in her heart.
Currently, her biggest trouble after returning to the Elf Kingdom is the entanglement with Frey, the God of Fertility. If this pendant can help her solve this problem, then she will really have nothing to worry about.
Moreover, she has already given her body and soul to someone, and she really needs something to prove her belonging.
Galadriel stole a glance at Lorne who was standing behind her, her pretty face slightly flushed and she closed her eyes, feeling the Lord of Midgard personally putting the pendant on her.
After fastening the buckle, Lorne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the ornament, which was made of three overlapping protective triangles, fall into Galadriel's arms.
The friend who gave him this pendant was none other than Odin.
In order to thank him for his help, Odin personally gave him this amulet symbolizing the "Trinity".
This not only represents his friendship with Odin, but is also a symbol of the oath they once made.
With this thing on her, even if Galadriel united the elves and posed a threat to the Aesir, Odin would give her some leeway for the sake of the pendant, and would not let Galadriel suffer the same miserable fate as Lolth.
After completing this insurance, Loen looked to one side:
"Ciri, what are your plans?"
"I'm not as ambitious as Galadriel, and I don't plan to be a queen, so I plan to go back to Cintra first, give the Dragon Blood to my teacher, help her break the curse, and then complete the Trial of Green Grass, fulfill my duties as a demon hunter, continue to eradicate the monsters wreaking havoc in the courtyard, and save the innocent."
Xi looked innocent and seemed a little embarrassed to answer.
Lorne smiled slightly and confirmed:
"There is no such thing as big or small ambitions, as long as they suit you. You will definitely be an excellent demon hunter."
When the girl heard the praise, she felt relieved and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Then, Lorne took out a manuscript from the magic circle diagram and handed it to Ciri:
"Your [Blood of Time and Space] is quite rare, make good use of it. Here are some development ideas I have summarized, I hope they can help you. In addition, there are some interpretations of [Runes] in it. If you can't understand them, you can give them to your teacher Yennefer or old Gandalf."
"Well, I will definitely bring it!"
Xili happily accepted the gift and extended an invitation.
"When you have time, remember to come visit the Northern Kingdom. My teacher and I will definitely treat you well!"
"Wait until there's time."
Lorne replied perfunctorily, then looked at Rose, who had switched to Eilistraee's personality, and began to advise,
"Before Galadriel becomes the common queen of the three tribes of light elves, I don't recommend you to have too much contact with her. This is good for both you and her."
"I understand. I plan to go to the north with Ciri. I heard that there are many half-blood elves living in the Misty Forest there. I want to move some dark elves from the Elven Kingdom who want to pursue a peaceful life there first, build a new paradise for them, and accommodate all the elves who are devoted to the light, paving the way for the reconciliation between light and darkness."
Iristrie spoke of her plans and tasks in a deep voice, with a hint of charm and holiness on her black jade face.
Luo En glanced at the night sky which had not yet completely faded, his eyes full of thought.
It seems that those who want to promote this reconciliation are not only the light elves and the dark elves, but also the two lost souls.
Since he failed to persuade Galadriel, Lorne did not waste any more words on Eilistraee in front of him.
But seeing that Lorne had been silent for a long time, Iristri could not help herself and asked cautiously:
"Can I bring my people to the courtyard?"
Before Loen could answer, Holo came up to him and put her hand around the neck of the elven goddess, showing a friendly and familiar look:
"Of course you can! You are my father's friends. If you are willing to bring people to settle in the courtyard, he will be very happy! If you have decided and encounter any troubles during the relocation process, you can ask the [Chamber of Commerce] for help. We promise to help you solve them!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! And I only have one request, that you come to visit Heather Island often in the future!"
"Okay! I'll definitely go!"
Iristri agreed repeatedly, her jet-black face flushed with excitement.
Why did the Dark Elves and the Light Elves split? One of the important reasons was that they were not strong enough to resist the interference of the Aesir.
Once they bring their people to the atrium and receive the protection of the Lord of the Atrium, the reconciliation between the light elves and the dark elves will no longer be empty talk, but a practical path.
Loen glared at Holo who interrupted him, and his palm couldn't help but feel itchy.
How could he not know that this filial daughter with a rebellious nature was trying various ways to recruit soldiers and horses for him and win over the hearts of the people?
Even the sudden development of great ambitions in Galadriel, Rose, and Ciri, and their successive resignations were probably due to the guidance of this filial daughter.
You want to make trouble for me? When no one is around, watch your butt!
Lorne gnashed his teeth grimly and clenched his knuckles towards Holo's raised butt and wagging tail.
However, in response to her adoptive father's threat, Holo made a face and laughed secretly in her heart.
You say that what happens in the atrium has nothing to do with you and that no one cares, but in the end, you are still worried about everything?
You are not old man Odin, so you can't do anything truly heartless.
You still want to quit and run away, but it won’t be as easy this time as last time!
When more and more people and things you care about gather in the atrium, and each one of them is waiting for you to save them, I don’t believe you can still sleep!
Holo looked at the web she had carefully woven and the helpless adoptive father in front of her, with a sly and sinister smile on her face.
Faced with this blatant conspiracy, even though Loen was itching to bite the bullet, he could only make a few more notes in his little notebook for his filial daughter, Holo.
Just wait, sooner or later I will rip off all your tail hair!
Having said that, he finally had the patience and together with Holo, he sent Galadriel and the other two away one after another.
As the courtyard became deserted, Luo En's expression changed instantly, and he prepared to close the door and enforce the family rules.
Seeing that the mountain of fatherly love was about to fall on her, Holo quickly raised her hand to save herself:
"Wait, we have something to say!"
"Say something to it!"
Loen remained unmoved. With a gloomy face, he took out the most convenient thorn from the magic circle diagram and pulled it straight forward.
"Belle is missing!"
The tip of the black whip stopped an inch away from Holo's buttocks, and the sharp thorns almost pierced into Holo's buttocks.
Luo En frowned and asked, "What's going on? Explain yourself clearly!"
"Take this away first and promise not to hit me." Holo bargained.
Luo En's eyes flashed, he took back the bramble, and said unhappily:
"Go ahead."
Having successfully avoided a beating, Holo immediately smiled and quickly explained the whole story.
It turned out that on the way back to Turin, Belle, who was traveling with them, suddenly looked very unhappy one day, walked into the darkness alone, and never appeared again.
"What do you think about this?" Lorne asked with a frown.
"She must have run into some trouble." Holo answered casually, then glanced at her father and comforted him, "But don't worry, with her ability, there shouldn't be any danger."
"Have you found out her identity?" Lorne asked curiously.
“Nothing.”
Holo shook her head and then added with a smile,
"But it is precisely because of this that they are proven to be extraordinary. Even the well-informed [Chamber of Commerce] has been investigating for so many years and still hasn't found out the identities and origins of the three Belle sisters. This can only prove one thing: their mystery and power far exceeds the capabilities of the [Chamber of Commerce].
However, I have been with them for so many years, and I have never seen them do anything bad or harm me. I guess that the three sisters are mostly good gods who have come to the lower world to experience life. Since they don't want to reveal their identities, there is no need for us to delve into it. After all, everyone has secrets.
Only by pretending to be foolish when it is necessary can we become friends..."
Luo En listened, and his heart moved:
"They are... three sisters?"
"Yes, the eldest sister is called Wulu, and she likes to mix drinks in the tavern, so we gave her the tavern on Heather Island; Belle is the second sister, and she likes to entertain and listen, so we let her be the receptionist of the Chamber of Commerce; as for the third sister, I only heard them mention her, and I have never seen her. It seems that she ran away from home because of a fit of anger. In order to find this youngest sister, they even used the intelligence network of the [Chamber of Commerce] several times."
Holo answered nonchalantly, but when she looked up, she saw her father's expression changing.
"Why, you know him?" Holo was a little surprised.
"I'm afraid I've guessed who they are."
Luo En nodded slowly, feeling quite complicated.
Three sisters, with mysterious origins and unknown powers;
One is named Wulu, one is named Bei'er, and the other one disappeared out of spite...
If a single individual and information is presented in front of us, it is indeed difficult to trace the source.
But when all three are combined, the answer is self-evident.
They are obviously the first two of the three goddesses of fate - Urd of the past and Belldandi of the present!
So, this goddess of fate actually followed me all the way. Does she have some ulterior motive?
The more Loen thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more eager he was to know where the missing Belldandy had gone.
Wait, the third sister, Shikoti, also appeared in the Dwarf Kingdom before. Before she left, she seemed to have asked me to visit the Giant Kingdom.
Could it be that Belldandi went to Jotunheim for some reason?
Loen narrowed his eyes and was about to consider his next move when a dwarf messenger came rushing in from outside the door and reported:
"Lord Loki, His Majesty Odin has arrived!"
