Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 794: Tyr's Treasure House, a Secret Chamber in the Mountains

Li You did not continue speaking. After all, too much is as bad as too little. Forcing too much will cause the child to develop a rebellious mentality.

Moreover, he couldn't keep delaying Kratos and his son from doing their work. Tyr's treasure house was right below the teleportation room, and it could be reached by walking up a few steps along the stairs. The father and son were already ready.

Li You did not go with them.

He really wanted to take a look in Tyr's treasury to see if there were any interesting things that were not mentioned in the game. After all, Tyr had traveled to extremely distant countries and brought back all kinds of collections.

Judging from the various details of the fourth and fifth generations, this Nordic god of war had obviously visited the ancient Eastern country. Li You was very curious about what he had collected in his treasure house.

But he had more important things to do than this kind of entertainment.

Balder's immortality had been broken by him, but he was rescued by Odin. Li You didn't know what the God of Light would do next, but it was possible that he would not chase after Kratos and his son anymore.

In that case, maybe Kratos and Atreus could avoid all the trouble in the original game and reach Jotunheim directly through the portal on the top of the mountain?

Of course, even if Kuiye and his son finish what they want to do, it has little to do with Li You at present. However, due to personal habit and familiarity with the system, Li You thinks it is safer to unlock his next task before Chen and his son complete the main storyline.

So what he had to do now was to continue looking for the Valkyrie, and the sooner the better.

[Stage Mission: Kill and liberate all corrupted Valkyries (4/9). ]

[Please note that before the stage mission is completed, the unlocking of the higher stage main mission will be restricted. ]

Currently, he has liberated four Valkyries, Orluun, Kara, Gunna, and Rota.

There are five left, Gendal, Gidref, El, Hildre, and the last Valkyrie Queen Sigrun.

Li You knew the approximate locations of these people. Although the terrain of this world was quite different from that in the game, these secret rooms should not be difficult to find.

But the problem is that among the remaining Valkyries, Gendal and Hilde are in Muspelheim and Niflheim respectively, and he has not yet collected the fragments of the teleportation runes to these two countries.

Unlike Odin's Chamber, these fragments are placed in treasure chests with magic seals and scattered everywhere. Some of the locations are very different from those in the game, so finding them is the most time-consuming.

Therefore, Li You’s primary goal now is to find the two people he can still contact in Midgard, Gidref and El.

It just so happened that these two were near the mountain.

So, after saying goodbye to Mr. Kui and his son, Li You went straight towards the mountain.

Before he left, Kratos also said to him solemnly: "I will not forget your help."

Li You nodded: "See you later."

He patted Atreus' shoulder again and smiled at the child, which made Atreus' expression somewhat unnatural.

However, Atreus, who had almost adjusted his mentality, calmed down and thanked Li You again: "Thank you, I'm sorry for causing you trouble before."

Seeing that he seemed to have returned to normal, Li You actually nodded in satisfaction this time, then turned and left without saying anything more.

Watching him walk away, Kratos glanced at Atreus again, and seeing that he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "You were nervous just now."

Atreus was startled and wanted to deny it, but looking at his father's eyes, he lowered his head and told the truth: "I originally thought that since we are gods, there should be some differences... But Li You..."

Kratos probably understood. He squatted down in front of Atreus again and this time said what he would have said to his son after he had gained access to Tyr's treasury:

"We are not human beings, we are more than that. But as gods, we have to bear much more responsibility. Being a god does not make you superior to others. Our strength comes from our will and our heart."

There were still some tangled and unwilling voices echoing in Atreus' mind, but at this time he was able to remain calm.

So he nodded: "I'll remember that, father."

……

Foothills.

Li You returned here and brought Yuzu and V with him.

After leaving that hellhole of Helheim, the companions can finally move around freely, and of course they won't hold back.

Although it was mainly because V couldn't stay in the companion space, Yuzu and Edge were used to it. Edge hasn't come out to get some fresh air since Li You came to the Nine Realms.

Naturally, Li You met Sindri here again.

He was forging iron by the stove, and when he saw Li You, his eyes lit up immediately and he greeted him, "Hello? Do you have time?"

Li You went over to ask and found out that Sindri wanted to ask him to help find a whetstone that was said to be "very special".

That whetstone was one of the collections of the dwarf Fafnir in the past, but Fafnir is no longer here, and Sindri happened to be in need of a handy tool, so he wanted to ask Li You to find it.

After listening to Sindri's commission, Li You remembered what the Smurf said when he met Brock not long ago. He seemed to be muttering something at the time, asking Li You and Kratos to help him find something if they were free.

Li You knew this very well. This was the prerequisite for the task of creating the legendary dwarf armor Dwigrasik in the game.

Players need to help Brok and Sindri find the legendary tools they need, and then wait until the brothers reconcile in the plot to unlock the task of creating the legendary dwarf armor.

And Li You just wanted a set of armor.

But not now, he doesn't have time to run the side quest now, especially this side quest is quite long.

So Li You just said, "I'm happy to help you, but I have some urgent things to deal with now, so I may not be able to help until later."

"I suggest you also entrust this matter to Kratos and his son. The child should be interested in testing his abilities."

Xindeli didn't quite understand what Li You meant, but he still wrote it down: "I understand, I'll try it."

Throwing the blame on Mr. Kratos and his son, Li You and his companions headed for a secret room deep in the foothills.

The one imprisoned here is Giddrif, and during the previous climb, they fought with the frost monsters in the Mountain Heart Mine, and they can find El's prison.

Li You plans to "liberate" both of them at once before Kratos and his crew climb the mountain for the third time.

Soon, Li You found the entrance to the secret room and broke open the door with a magic chisel.

The Valkyrie Gilderif is a warrior with comprehensive abilities. She knows a little bit of most of the skills, including long-range attack, close combat, and spell casting.

In the game, she is also considered to be a difficult character to deal with, and can be considered a lower-level weakened version of the Valkyrie King.

The group soon saw her deep inside the secret room.

Gidrev has wings with reddish-brown feathers, and her helmet is shaped like a pair of wings folded towards the middle. She doesn't look that aggressive, but her strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, although Jidrifu is quite powerful, Li You is in perfect condition now and is not afraid of her at all. If he can't even beat Jidrifu, then he should not go to find the Valkyrie King, otherwise he will only be stepped on by her.

Li You drew out his two swords, holding the Fire Sword and Trengowa in his hands. After fighting against four Valkyries, he personally thought that this was the best tactic, followed by the spear.

The companions were ready around them, so Li You stepped forward and woke up Jiderif!

"what!!"

The Valkyrie launched an attack as soon as she woke up. A glowing sickle appeared in her hand and she slashed towards Li You without hesitation!

"clang--!!"

Li You was well prepared. He blocked with his Fire Sword, and Trengwa took the opportunity to stab him!

"Pfft-"

……

At this time, on the other side, Kratos and his son had just cracked the entrance to Tyr's treasury. By solving the riddle of the runes, they activated the elevator and opened the way to the treasury.

In the game, the father and son encountered a sneak attack from Modi here. Kratos was controlled by Modi with the power of thunder and lightning, and Atreus was stimulated by him and burst into the rage of Sparta, but he could not bear it and fell down.

When they came back the second time, Atreus was gone again.

Fortunately, the world has undergone significant changes, and the mentalities of the father and son are very different.

Here the two found a triptych used by the giants to tell the story of Tyr - just like the many they had found in various temples - but the middle part of this one was missing.

Mimir told Atreus more stories about Tyr, explaining how Tyr was a god loved by many people, which triggered some thoughts in Atreus.

After that, when solving the rune riddle, Atreus even taught Kratos to recognize the words.

"...Runes can represent many things. Some represent gods, and some represent animals, like this."

He carved the answer to the puzzle on the sand table and recited it aloud. The puzzle was solved and the elevator started to move.

"How is it? Not difficult, right?"

Atreus turned to look at his father with a smile on his face.

Kratos looked at him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly: "Yeah."

"That's it. Runes are actually very simple." Atreus said, "You've taught me so many things. I can finally teach you a little bit."

Kratos was very satisfied with his current state: "You taught well, kid."

Everything was going well. The problem of Kratos and his son was solved. They were about to obtain the teleportation rune of Jotunheim, and then they could set off to the kingdom of giants...

However, whether it was fate or historical inertia, the father and son encountered uninvited guests at this time, just like in the game.

But there is more than one.

"…Wait, kid, do you smell anything?"

Kratos was listening to Atreus talking about runes, but suddenly he was startled and raised his hand to stop him.

Atreus sniffed the air and discovered something: "It seems to be... the smell of rain? Not good!"

The next moment after he shouted, a bolt of thunder struck from the sky!
"Boom——!!"

Compared to the one in the game, this lightning is thicker, but because of this, it is more powerful and allows Kratos to discover it in advance.

At the critical moment, he pushed Atreus away and immediately rolled backwards to avoid the lightning!
Although the range of the lightning strike was quite wide, Kratos and Atreus were inevitably hit, but fortunately it was not a big deal.

Kratos immediately stood up, holding the battle axe, and said, "Kid! Get behind me!"

Atreus immediately turned over and stood up, standing with Kratos and drawing the bow.

"…Damn it, Manny, I told you we should tone it down so we don't alert them!"

A familiar voice echoed in the elevator room, followed by another rough voice that the father and son had never heard of before, but they could guess who it belonged to:
"Shut up, brother. You didn't accomplish anything when you followed your uncle before. Now I'm back and I have the final say!"

"...Oh, those two idiots who rank among the top in all of Asgard." Mimir recognized their voices immediately, "I really wish Li You had succeeded before, so that I wouldn't have to hear these two annoying voices again."

Then, as two thin bolts of lightning fell rapidly, Manny and Modi appeared one after another.

Modi was still holding a spear and a shield, but Manny, without his greatsword, had replaced it with a lightning mace. Arcs of electricity flowed on the dark iron rod, and it was obviously very powerful.

It is worth noting that there is still a conspicuous scar on Manny's neck. The scar runs through the entire neck, hideous and terrifying. Even now it has not fully healed, and blood is faintly oozing from the wound.

Obviously, that was the scar left by Li You beheading him before.

Manny looked at Kratos and his son and said, "But why you? You two are not my primary target... But that's OK."

He grinned and swung his mace. "That stranger caused me to suffer for so long that even the Father of the Gods could not easily heal my wounds."

"But now I'm back. I will take my uncle's place and carry out the orders of the Father of the Gods. That child, he must leave with me, and as for you, you must die here!"

After hearing this, Kratos silently hung the Leviathan Axe back on his back, and then pulled out the Chaos Blades with his backhand.

"...You will never touch my son."

“Hahahaha——!” Manny laughed, “Then let’s give it a try!”

——At the same time, in the mountains at the shore of the Nine Realms.

Freya, who was aroused by the relationship between Kratos and his son, as well as the unreasonable omens before, missed and worried about her son, and was looking for her son everywhere in Midgard.

"My child, where are you?"

She was not searching aimlessly; the earth, the sky, and the woods were all her friends, and they told her the direction of her son.

Although they don't convey much useful information, hearing Balder's name from them means that he has indeed been here.

"...Child, I will find you."

Freya muttered to herself as she continued to move forward between the mountains and rivers.
