Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 479: Flame Hall

drip.

“This is the submarine Shadow Border. Three natural hours ago, we encountered the composite divine servant [Shidunai], and with its assistance, we successfully started the creation of [True Person].

And learned of the existence of another goddess, whose location is the highest point in Northern Europe, Mount Gaher."

This was the last communication from the submarine Shadow Border. After that, when Fujimaru Ritsuka got contact again, the sky was already engulfed in flames.

-

Whenever I see birds flying in the sky, I think back to the Age of Gods, the distant past.

This may just be God's longing, a longing for the past that can never be returned to.

The world naturally stands as a reality, and the great gods protect all things in the world.

There have been brutal competitions and tragic struggles.

But at that time, everything seemed full of pride.

Freya's lips bless love and harvest;

Niold holds the sea and the fishing on his legs;
Baldur gave glory and beauty;

Mimir presides over the sacred spring;

Even in the ruthless war that takes lives, the great god Odin and the god of war Thor are watching.

During that period, everyone must have liked each other.

It was by no means a passionate emotion, nor was it an emotion that tormented the body and mind, but rather an emotion that was calm, gentle, and as warm as the sunshine of spring.

I thought so.

However, why.

Why are we separated so far?
Colder than the merciless ice, hotter than the terrifying fire.

Deep inside my heart - there is something so ugly lurking.

"The subject shook off Koyanskaya's obstruction and escaped."

The girl's report interrupted Shen's thoughts and brought her back to reality.

"Their whereabouts after leaving the city are unknown, but the Queen should have known their exact location."

The Hidden Girl named Ophelia said: "Also, the God Complex that the Queen captured before seemed to have been blown away to the outside world in the previous explosion, and its whereabouts are still unknown.

As long as Her Majesty the Queen is willing to tell us their current location, Saber and I will go and capture them again."

Ophelia knew very well that in all of Northern Europe, only the person in front of her had the ability to observe the entire area. The snow covering Northern Europe gave Skadi an infinitely broad vision.

The reason why we were able to send Saber there immediately after the Chaldean imaginary number emerged was because Skadi gave her the coordinates.

Now we just need to get the coordinates again to catch them all in one fell swoop.

This time, all servants except Mashu must be killed completely.

That knight——let him leave this world.

"——It's okay, don't worry about it."

The plain voice of God fell, which was the way of survival she had followed for thousands of years: "Children of Chaldea, I have decided to love them.

I will not kill them. Don't make me repeat that, Ophelia."

"Her Majesty the Queen."

Ophelia heard this and immediately wanted to explain: "But this is it——"

Continuing to indulge Chaldea's actions would inevitably lead to disaster, and she could not afford to fail like Kadoc.

"Didn't you raise the spiritual power of Knight Sigurd?"

Skadi said: "He can't do the delicate work of capturing the enemy alive. He will kill and chop off everything that stands in his way.

The Celtic woman who makes me who I am says this with great confidence within me.

Well, the kid from Chaldea has a similar opinion, he is a stupid disciple."

After the battle, Ophelia raised Sigurd's spiritual base level just in case to prepare for the next battle.

"......."

Ophelia pursed her lips. She seemed to have not expected that Skadi would refuse to give the coordinates.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal.

Skadi only gave the coordinates once, and never gave the corresponding coordinates again after that.

"That is not a weapon that can be easily manipulated. Its very existence is a magic sword that will harm the wielder."

Skadi looked at Ophelia with compassion in her eyes and said, "You should reflect on yourself once in a while, human girl, Ophelia Famsolone."

Ophelia left, leaving the hall in silence again.

The only god who remained here continued to look up at the sky. Perhaps this was the only thing she could do.

Tread.

Ophelia returned to the bedroom with a distressed look on her face. "I should go to the dungeon and talk more with Mashu."

That was undoubtedly the best opportunity, but I wasted it.

Ophelia regretted this very much and didn't know if there would be another chance.

Unlike her love for Kirshtalia, Ophelia's feelings for Mashu could perhaps be called friendship.

It is the love that a girl named Ophelia has never received.

at the same time.

On the ice field far away from the castle, Li Ye, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others also changed their direction because of the last communication from Chaldea.

He should have quickly returned to the submarine and reunited with Da Vinci and others, but after discussing with Li Ye and Fujimaru Ritsuka, he chose to go find the third goddess.

Although Li Ye became a non-combatant due to the damage of his spiritual base, fortunately he had used a lot of magic power to summon Cu Chulainn, an all-round player with B-level rune.

The perfect hero for both finding an object and taking on a fight.

Like a blue bulldog, it opens up an infinitely extending road—

"Hey, hey, are you looking at me in a very rude way?"

Cu Chulainn seemed to have realized something and turned his head abruptly. He looked Li Ye up and down with his scarlet eyes and said, "Let me tell you in advance, if you really dare to say that word, I will twist your head off."

"?"

Li Ye, who was carried by Cu Chulainn, smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Cu Chulainn is really good at joking——"

Due to the physical problems caused by the limit of his spiritual foundation, Li Ye gave up using the skis to move around by himself, and instead was carried by Cu Chulainn.

Although Cu Chulainn's military force is enough for Fujimaru Ritsuka to run rampant in front of a heroic spirit of Sigurd's level, it is not necessarily a bad thing to have additional members to join. The submarine now has the inner help of the goddess Shidu, plus the concealment effect of the Da Vinci barrier, which is extremely safe. In this case, there is enough time to create a [real person].

But this is not enough.

Li Ye knew that what Fujimaru Ritsuka needed at this moment was the power to defeat Sigurd.

At this time, the hostile forces in the Lostbelt have become clear, including Sigurd, the servant of the Hidden One Ophelia, as well as Skadi, the King of the Lostbelt, and the Valkyries under her command.

To defeat an enemy of this level, more than one heroic spirit is needed.

Although returning to the spiritual vein node where the submarine is located and relying on Heroic Spirit Summoning to summon a few Heroic Spirits is a good choice, its strength is still far inferior to that of the divine servants.

Not every summon can produce a hero of Cu Chulainn's level.

Tread.

"Be careful, Master. Pay attention to the flames ahead. The runes here are of a very high level."

After putting Li Ye down, Cu Chulainn entered combat mode, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, as if looking for any danger.

After a long journey, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party successfully reached the highest peak in Northern Europe with the help of Cu Chulainn's military force.

“Reaching the highest peak in Northern Europe—R, no, Gährnberg!”

Li Ye laughed and said, "It seems that Skadi is not going to stop us."

"It went smoothly, but this one in front is——"

Mashu, who had also changed into winter clothes, looked at the castle in front of her with a look of shock and said, "Flame—"

Flame, blazing flame.

The flames standing on the top of the mountain enveloped the castle, turning it into an insurmountable chasm.

"The Flame House."

Mash immediately reacted and said, "Please be careful, Mr. Cuchulain. This must be the House of Fire, the blazing glory on the top of Mount Hiendar described in the Poetic Edda, the Song of Sigrdrifa in the Elder Edda, and Volsunga Gatha, a mansion with flags flying surrounded by a wall built by the Aegis.

Great God's Barrier [Flame Hall]!"

"Mashu knows so much—"

Li Ye clapped his hands and laughed, "I'll have to think about this for a while!"

[Poetic Edda] There is a section called "The Song of Sigrdrifa".

The protagonist is naturally a Valkyrie named Sigrdrifa, who was imprisoned in the House of Fire by Odin because of a mistake.

After Sigurd slayed the dragon, he came to the House of Fire and rescued Sigrdrifa.

Sigrdrifa taught Sigurd the runes and eleven pieces of advice, but after Sigurd left, he became engaged to Brunhilde, lost his memory, and married Gudrun (Klinghild), which led to tragedy.

But in [Brunhildr's Journey to Hades], Brunhildr is the Valkyrie [Hilde in the Helmet] who was rescued from the cage by Sigurd.

Therefore, Sigrdrifa is also considered an alias of Brunhilde.

Similarly, in the Volsunga Saga, the roles of Sigrdrifa and Brunhilde are merged, and in the opera The Ring of the Nibelung, only the Valkyries, led by Brunhilde, appear.

Sigrdrifa means guiding the victor. In some versions, it is a general term for Valkyrie like Valkyrie, and it can also specifically refer to the Valkyrie Hildre/Brunhildr.

In this way, according to the story of the myth, the goddess imprisoned in this House of Fire seems to become clear.

Both the existence of myth and its reproduction have corresponding meanings.

"Mr. Li Ye, thank you for the compliment!"

Mashu looked serious as he stared at the castle in front of him and said, "It could be a large-scale magic ritual that recreates the mythical sympathetic magic, or it could be the Age of Gods barrier itself!"

"No, Aegis? Those flames that are just for show cannot be considered as the Age of Gods barrier."

Cu Chulainn saw through the falsehood of the Flame House at a glance and said, "It is at most a [re-creation of the myth], nothing else. Little girl, perhaps the snow and the flames have dulled your perception, but you can see those guys in the flames."

As Cu Chulainn finished speaking, huge figures appeared in the flames.

That was the giant figure that Mashu and the others were very familiar with, and it was also the fire giant Musbel that they had once fought against!
"Prepare to fight, Mash."

Ritsuka Fujimaru reacted immediately and increased his magic output towards Mashu and Cu Chulainn.

"Oh!"

Cu Chulainn raised his hand and the scarlet magic spear fell into his hand. After turning it casually, it turned into a blue lightning and flew out.

The superficial flames that spread all over the outside world were no problem at all to Cu Chulainn.

hum!
The magic spear was as fast as lightning. Just an ordinary stab pierced through the chest of the fire giant in an instant!
As a great hero of Ireland, Cu Chulainn's martial arts skills were so extraordinary that even Li Ye was amazed. The invisible spear that reached the divine realm was beyond his reach.

In terms of spear skills alone, Cu Chulainn is better.

But compared to watching Cu Chulainn's battle, Li Ye was more concerned about the existence in the Hall of Fire.

If it is a re-enactment of a myth, then it would be interesting.

The myth that is reproduced must be the same as the myth.

The House of Fire, then the goddess imprisoned there - could it be the Valkyrie Brunhilde?
In the Volsung Saga, Brunhilde was assigned to arbitrate a duel between two kings. The Valkyrie knew that Odin favored the old king, Jamgunar, but she still ruled that Angnar would win.

Therefore, the great god Odin punished the Valkyrie, demoted her to a human, and imprisoned her in a castle surrounded by shield walls on the distant peak of Hirndall in the Alps.

Odin cursed the Valkyrie, causing her to fall into a deep sleep until someone could rescue her and marry her.

Sigurd, the hero who killed the evil dragon Fafnir, entered the castle, took off the Valkyrie's helmet, cut open her chain mail, and awakened her.

The two then fell in love, and even though Sigurd knew that this love would end in tragedy, he still proposed to her with the magic ring Andwar Lanotte and promised to come back and marry her.

However, Sigurd later drank the potion and lost his memory. The mad Brunhilde killed all the Gudrun clan who had played with Sigurd's memory, and then died together with Sigurd, turning into ashes in the fire.

It is worth mentioning that there is no part about Sigurd's amnesia in Edda.

In the Nibelungenlied, Brunhilde is the queen of Iceland. One day, her fame spreads to Burgundy, and King Gunther decides to marry her. He also asks the great hero Siegfried to disguise himself as his subject to help him.

With Siegfried's help, Gunther passed the three trials set by Brunhilde, and she agreed to marry him.

The heroes return to Burgundy with Brunhilde, who marries Gunther and Siegfried marries Gunther's sister Kreinhild.

Although there are differences in legends, perhaps this is the difference between Siegfried and Sigurd, who have the same origin.

"Master, I will contact the barrier later, remember to follow me!"

While defeating the giants, Cu Chulainn shouted, "Hurry up, these guys are increasing in number very quickly!"

"give it to me!"

Mashu responded, "I will bring the Master and Liye in together!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Cu Chulainn no longer held back and decisively threw out several rune stones engraved with runes, which were activated the moment they came into contact with the flames.

hum!
As rays of light burst forth, the wall of fire that covered the entire castle was melting away at a rapid speed.
