Chapter 404: Strange Town
Chapter 404: Strange Town
According to what Lod knew, Odin had ruled Asgarda very early, and it could be traced back to the ancient times a million years ago.
Moreover, Odin was also the veteran who formed the prehistoric Avengers Alliance, and wore the Destroyer armor to fight against the gods, and finally defeated the gods who planned to destroy the earth, and successfully guarded the blue planet.
However, Yallweite and the other Valkyries had only appeared for a few thousand years.
Therefore, it was absolutely possible that there had been an unknown Valkyries during this period.
However, what made Lod feel suspicious was that since there was such an army, why did Odin erase it from history and ignore the Aurora signal left on Earth?
There must be some great secret in this.
Although Lod was not an overly curious person, he could not let go of the secret in front of him. Therefore, he decided to follow the source of the Aurora and go to the nearby towns to find out if there were any related myths and legends. Perhaps they could find some clues from it.
They were in Norway to the west of the Navia Peninsula, while the origin of the aurora was in the north.
This place was close to the Baltic Sea, and the north was the same species of Scandinavian, one of the five northern countries - Denmark!
If they wanted to go to Denmark, they had to go through the Baltic Sea. This sea was more than 190 kilometers wide!
It was almost impossible for ordinary people to cross the Baltic Sea on foot, but for everyone present, it was just a small matter.
Through the stars in the sky, Brunhilde roughly identified the location.
Lod directly used the ability of the Quincy to solidify the Reishi and create a giant flying ship, carrying everyone toward Denmark in the north.
They flew directly into the clouds, passing through the night sky at several times the speed of sound, following the origin of Aurora, and soon crossed the Baltic Sea, coming to a remote town on the border of Danmi Kingdom.
The overall architectural style of this small town was still in the medieval period.
The style of all the buildings was biased towards the ancient European style. Most of them were sharp wooden buildings. Moreover, there were many sculptures standing tall. All of them exuded a strange and gloomy aura. They were very different from modern buildings.
It had to be said,
In this era, it was not easy to see such buildings again.
In particular, Denmark, a country known as the top three in the world, had not been demolished and replaced. It could be called a miracle.
In order to avoid causing panic, Lod landed the spirit boat on the edge of the town and gave the portable gigai to everyone. After putting all of them on gigai, he walked into this ancient town.
An old man with gray hair was sitting on a stone outside the town with a crutch to rest. When he saw Lod and the others who suddenly came in, he blinked his turbid eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
Brunhilde walked forward and spoke in Dannish. "Hello, old man. We are tourists. We suddenly saw this town and felt that it was very beautiful. We wanted to come and live here for a few days."
"Sorry, beautiful lady." The old man leaned on his cane and shook his head. He slowly said, "This place doesn't receive outsiders. You should go to the nearby Dragae. The scenery there is much more beautiful than here."
Brunhilde had already expected this, and she pretended to be embarrassed. "But we walked over on foot. The food and water supply are almost exhausted, and it is already very late. If we set out again, we might encounter danger."
"Hmmm..." The old man hesitated for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and refused. "No, you can't stay here."
Originally, Lod didn't think much of it, but the old man refused again and again, which aroused his interest. It was clear that the small town in front of him wasn't as simple as it seemed.
The boy was the grandson of the old man. He had just heard the conversation between the two people. Seeing Brunhilde's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy. He pulled the old man's arm and advised, "Grandpa, why don't we let them stay for a night? It is too late today. If they go out, they might be eaten by bears."
"Grandpa, let us stay for a night. Tomorrow morning, we will leave this place, okay?" Brunhilde took the opportunity to speak. Of course, even if that was the case, wouldn't it still be up to them to leave tomorrow?
"Grandpa, just promise them." The boy shook the old man's hand, his face full of expectation.
"Alright..." The old man couldn't stand his favorite grandson begging, so he could only sigh and shake his head helplessly. "Just stay for one night. When tomorrow morning comes, you will replenish the water and food, and then leave here quickly."
After saying that, the old man stood up with his walking stick. With the support of his grandson, he trembled as he led everyone to his residence. Coincidentally, it was at the entrance of the small town. It was a two-story wooden house.
After entering the house, everyone sat in front of the fireplace. Through their conversations, they learned that the old man's name was Axel Kleiner, and the boy's name was Jens Kleiner.
Jens' parents had already died because of a snowstorm. Now, only Axel was left with his grandson. He relied on fishing or other people to help him survive for days. The old man's biggest wish was that he could send Jens to Copenhagen in the future.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Brunhilde took the opportunity to change the topic to the Aurora. "How strange. It is clearly summer now, but why would the aurora appear?"
When they heard the two words 'aurora', the expressions of Axel and Jens instantly changed under the illumination of the flames.
"Your complexion doesn't seem to be too good?" Brunhilde noticed this scene and pretended to be curious. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Sister..."
Jens forced a smile and kindly reminded, "Don't mention Polar Light here, because it is a bad omen."
Aurora... Bad omen?
Hearing this, Lod and the others raised their eyebrows slightly. It seemed that their transportation was good. There was indeed something wrong with this town!
Brunhilde was deep in thought. She tilted her head and asked, "Why? Aurora is clearly so beautiful. Why is is a bad omen?"
"I don't know either, but the adults all said so." Jens scratched the back of his head and said in distress, "There is a legend that has been circulating in the town for a long time. As long as the Aurora appears, bad things will happen."
"Shut up, Jens!"
The old man opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "It's already very late. You should go back to sleep."
"Oh... Okay, grandpa."
Jens shrunk his head and obediently stood up to bid farewell to everyone before going upstairs to sleep.
"Guests, sleep in the other room tonight."
Axel had an ugly expression on his face. It was obvious that his eyes were gloomy and terrifying because of the matter with the aurora. He lowered his voice and said, "Do not talk about aurora here. If you understand, you should leave early tomorrow morning."
