Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 785: How to Go to Jotunheim

The battle ended faster than Li You expected.

Of course, in addition to the righteous group fight, the most crucial thing is Freya's assistance. Once the vines that even Kratos can't break free from are tied up, they will control him for a long time, which is almost like a wheelchair.

In addition to the first time that Trengvar actually stabbed with the sword, Freya released the same spell twice in the following battle. One of them was dodged by the Valkyrie Kara, who seemed to recognize the source of the spell.

But the next time, Freya made a feint first, and while the Valkyrie was fighting with Li You, she simply recited old Norse but did not cast any spells, which caused the Valkyrie Kara to dodge first, and then she actually summoned the vines and tied her up tightly.

Then there was no suspense.

In the end, the Valkyrie Kara, who had lost her power to resist, was pierced through the heart by Li You's sword, ending the battle.

Although beheading is faster, Li You doesn't want to clean the blood inside the helmet afterwards.

Seeing the Valkyrie Kara fall, V felt a little regretful: "I didn't get Kara's head. Never mind, I recorded it anyway, I'll show it to her next time I go back."

Li You: "..."

Are you here to do meal replacement?
Freya also came up at this time, watching the soul of the Valkyrie Kara floating out of her body. She frowned and asked softly, "Kara, how do you feel?"

Valkyrie Kara actually hadn't fully come to her senses at this point. She was just immersed in the joy of getting rid of the constraints of her body and regaining her freedom. Then she heard a voice that seemed very familiar.

She looked at it carefully and was surprised: "Your Majesty? How could you..."

"I am no longer a queen. Your queen now is Sigrun," Freya said. "Tell me, is it she who gave you the physical form and imprisoned you here? What is she planning?"

Kara's voice sounded uncertain: "I'm not sure, my consciousness is still fragmented. I only remember... our council chamber, and the queen..."

Freya immediately realized that she couldn't provide any valuable information in her current state, so she said, "Let's talk about it later. What you need to do now is to return to Valhalla as soon as possible. The Valkyries are imprisoned, and the balance of life and death in the Nine Realms is already in jeopardy."

"Orluen has been liberated by my friends before, and the other sisters will return to Valhalla later."

The soul of the Valkyrie Kara bowed slightly and saluted: "Thank you, Queen, and thank you all my friends for releasing me. Then I will return to Valhalla first."

Li You took off her helmet, and the soul of the Valkyrie Kara flew away.

Freya watched him pick up the Asgardian steel left behind after the Valkyrie's body disappeared, and nodded: "The Valkyrie's armor is made of pure Asgardian metal. If you can find a dwarf craftsman, you should be able to use it to make powerful protective gear, which will also be helpful in the future battles."

"I didn't get any useful information from Kara. I think you have to free more Valkyries before you can piece together the truth of the incident from them."

Li You thought to himself, "Actually, I know the truth very well. What I need to consider is how to defeat Sigrun safely..."

But of course he couldn't really say this, so he just said: "It seems that we must find other Valkyries as soon as possible."

Freya nodded and said, "I'm afraid I can't always follow you..."

"It's okay, just leave it to us, I'll handle it as soon as possible." Li You wiped the blood off the Trengowa and put it on his back. "Thank you for your sword, it's really useful. I'll return it to you after I free the Valkyries."

After Valkyrie Kara was stabbed by Trengwa, her movements and defense became noticeably sluggish. Yuzu and V took this opportunity to inflict a lot of damage to her. The sword's suppressing effect on the Valkyrie was beyond expectations.

Unfortunately, it is useless against Sigrun.

Freya finally said, "The council hall that Kara just mentioned is the meeting place that we... the Valkyries set up in Midgard to avoid Odin's eyes and ears."

"I'll show you the location of the Council Hall. Once you've freed the eight Valkyries, take their helmets to the Council Hall and place them on their respective seats. Then you should be able to summon Sigrun.

"But be careful. As I said, Sigrun's power is greater than that of the Valkyries."

At this point, her tone became very serious: "When the time comes, please remember to come find me. I will go with you."

Li You's eyes lit up: "No problem!"

Isn't this good?

Freya gave Li You a few more instructions, reminding him to be careful, and then returned home. Li You took Yuzu and V with him, preparing to set off to the next secret room.

Just when they had just returned to the riverside of the Witch's Cave, they heard a long horn coming from the direction of the Temple of Tyr, followed by the shaking of the earth!
Li You knew that this was because someone had used the horn on the bridge of the Tyr Temple to call upon the World Serpent Jörmungandr, and the giant had responded by moving his body.

Apparently, the only people who can do this are Kratos and his sons and Mimir.

Li You was very clear about the process over there, and he waited quietly by the river. Sure enough, not long after, accompanied by another earthquake, the water level in the river dropped significantly again.

Because the World Serpent stretched its body out of the lake, the water level of the Lake of the Nine Realms dropped a second time.

In this way, the Nine Realms Shores can reach more areas and find more secret rooms where Valkyries are imprisoned.

Li You looked at the small boat floating in the river below, which was still rising and falling with the waves, and then said to Youzi and V: "Let's go."

……

Not long ago, on the bridge of the Temple of Tyr.

After returning to the temple with the new human head pendant, Atreus asked Mimir how to get to Jotunheim, and Mimir replied that they had to find the last giant of Midgard to lead the way for them.

As for the method of calling that person, it is the huge horn on the bridge of the Temple of Tyr. This horn is located in the middle of the bridge of the temple and can only be reached by raising the height of the lifting platform.

Kratos and his son had studied this before. At that time, Atreus wanted to blow the horn, but was stopped by Kratos. Atreus also complained: "Don't we press the button when we see it and pull the lever when we see it?"

Kratos said that his intuition needs to be strengthened and he can't just brag about it.

And now, they are finally coming to blow the trumpet.

At Mimir's signal, Kratos lifted his head and placed it next to the mouthpiece of the horn.

God knows how he can blow air with just one head, but it is unscientific that he can speak. Anyway, Mimir puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn, and the sound of the horn spread all over the place.

Jörmungandr then opened his eyes. When the mountain-like body moved, even the mountains around the Lake of the Nine Realms were shaking. When Jörmungandr's head reached the temple bridge, Atreus swallowed uncontrollably.

It's not just because of the fear of this huge monster, but more because of the excitement and indescribable excitement.

Because the one who blew the horn in this world before was Li You, it was the first time for Kratos and his son to observe Jörmungandr at such a close distance. The big snake also blinked his vertical pupils and stared at the father and son... and the human head.

Kratos lifted Mimir's head, he inhaled, opened his mouth, uttered some ancient sentences, and started a conversation with Jörmungandr.

This ancient language, according to Freya in the game, is a "dead language" that no one uses anymore except Mimir and a few giants. Even Atreus, who was born with the ability to know languages, cannot understand it.

After hearing Mimir's words, Jörmungandr actually responded.

The mountain-like snake and the tiny human head began to talk to each other. After a few brief words, Jörmungandr lowered his head and pressed his head against the temple bridge, turning the entire bridge effortlessly.

The approach of the giant frightened Atreus as well: "What is he doing!?"

Mimir replied, "Don't be nervous boy, he's just making sure we're going in the right direction."

He told the father and son that to go to Jotunheim, the land of giants, two things were needed. One was the teleportation rune of Jotunheim, which was used to move between countries. The second was to use a special magic chisel to carve the rune on the stone arch at the top of the mountain.

Yes, it is the chisel that Li You has obtained to break the crystal seal. Of course, Kratos and the others are not aware of this, and now they have to get it too.

Jörmungandr pushed the Temple Bridge to a point where it connected to the Kingdom Tower of Helheim, and then stopped there, with the path to the Stonemason's Waterway right next to it.

After he retreated, the water level of the Nine Realms Lake also dropped.

"Now, find a ship and we can set off," said Mimir.

"Let's go." Kratos said without hesitation.

The two quickly found a small boat at the dock under the bridge. Kratos rowed the boat while Atreus sat opposite holding Mimir's head, and they headed towards the waterway between the oarsman statues.

On the way, Mimir told Atreus the story of Thormur. When Atreus saw the huge corpse in the ice and snow, he was shocked.

Because the water level had receded normally, what the father and son saw when they arrived was different from what Li You had seen before. They were on a boat in the Bingjie River Bay, which was roughly the same as the one in the game, and encountered two werewolves there.

Leaving Kratos aside, for Atreus, this creature was still a dangerous and ferocious enemy, and the battle was a little difficult for him.

But Kratos still saw his progress: "Your skills have improved."

"Oh, thank you." Atreus was also very happy. "Wait, father, look, that thing is here too!"

He noticed the crystal seal by the river bend.

Mimir replied, "That is a special magical seal. If you have Thormur's magic chisel, you can remove it."

Atreus understood: "Then let's go find it quickly!"

They then continued to move forward, following the newly exposed road above the water, passing through the remaining building structures of the village that were pressed down by Somur's hand, and returned to the ice field where Li You and the Manimodi brothers had fought before.

"Friends, you should be able to see Sommer's head now... Why aren't you talking?"

Kratos was silent, frowning, observing the battle scars all over the ground. Atreus replied, "Mimir, there are traces of battles all over this place. It looks like some powerful people have fought here before."

Mimir: "Oh? How could that be?"

Although it doesn't snow often on this ice field, the wind will blow the surrounding snow over here, so a lot of the traces left by Li You's previous battle with Thor's two sons have been covered up, but those marks deep into the ice surface cannot be erased so quickly.

Kratos squatted beside a crack that spread evenly from the center to all directions, touched the crack, then stood up and said with certainty: "It was the Collector. His flame can cause this effect."

"Ah?" Atreus was startled at first, and then he immediately realized, "Oh! He must have defeated Thor's two sons here and killed Manny!"

"I must remind you that Manny is not dead. The Aesir cannot be killed so easily." Mimir said, "But our collector friend is really capable of defeating those two idiots."

Atreus asked, "How strong are Manny and Modi?"

"Please put it this way, child," Mimir replied, "They are Thor's sons, and Odin uses them as errand boys. If you don't have some skills, he won't look down on you."

Atreus understood: "Then, we won't meet them?"

"Well, first of all, Manny probably hasn't been resurrected yet, and secondly, they are responsible for tracking down the Collector, so as long as we act quickly, nothing should happen."

Mimir said, and then reminded: "Rather than those two brothers, it is better to worry about Balder first. He is the biggest threat."

"Well, if we meet those two and they plan to attack us, we will fight back." Kratos said without hesitation, "If the Collector can kill them, then so can we. Don't underestimate yourself, kid."

"Oh...Okay, father." Atreus replied, but it was obvious that in this world line, he still lacked confidence in himself because Li You had taken away a lot of kills and experience points.

Kratos saw this, but he didn't say much, just said: "We should move on."

They continued to cross the ice field, and after dealing with the hostile creatures that reappeared on the ice field, they came to Somur's head.

Just as Li You had seen before, half of Sommer's head was hidden under the extremely thick ice layer and could not be reached by ordinary means.

Kratos observed for a moment, then said "I have a plan", which surprised Mimir.

As for his plan, needless to say, it was to use the huge stone hammer next to him to break the ice and get the chisel.

"Follow me kid."

Kratos was about to leave, but Atreus suddenly noticed something: "Wait, father."

He looked at Somur's huge head and said doubtfully, "I seem to...hear some voice in his head?"
