The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Although it might just be a recolored product, the appearance of something new always keeps people interested, so Manshu, without hesitation, brandished his trident and charged in.

Mashu rushed to the child's side and immediately shielded the child with her shield.

"No, no! If the mountain giant finds us, all the children who are found will be doomed! So... so... if you see a child being attacked, you should run away immediately! But... what... what are you doing? Run! Run away!"

When the child saw Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka rushing over to protect her, she shook her head repeatedly, trying to push the two away.

In her worldview, the mountain giant was clearly an unstoppable monster.

Judging from their aura, the mountain giants that appeared were indeed more powerful than the frost giants, but that was all.

9. These mountain giants are the Begrich race from Norse mythology. In the story, they are said to have a friendly relationship with the Twin Giants.

4. "It is indeed something that requires a little effort to deal with."

8. While Mashu was still talking to the child, Manju had already basically completed the mission.

The frost giants were all knocked to the ground, and the mountain giants were also unceremoniously overturned.

4. "Mountain giant, mountain giant, mountain giant... God, God, God, please, please, please bless me so that even if I am trampled by the giant, I can go to everyone in peace."

3 The child over there had already closed her eyes and was praying. Fujimaru Ritsuka simply whispered to her, "You can open your eyes now. There are no more giants around here."

3. "Yes, nothing can threaten your life anymore, and you are safe for now."

0 "Are we...saved? Has the mountain giant disappeared?"

5 The child timidly opened his eyes and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, there's no doubt that none of those things are left now."

The child listened while looking around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw nothing. He then exclaimed with exaggerated delight:

"Wow, amazing! Amazing! This must be the will of the gods!"

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved me, right? That's amazing, so amazing! How did you do that? If the giants had found us, we would have been crushed, but no one was crushed! Ah, ah, I'm sorry.

The child seemed quite excited, perhaps because he had survived a close call.

However, this is quite normal. After all, he is just a child of this age. It would be very uncomfortable if he didn't quickly vent his anxiety through words.

"Ahem, shouldn't I greet someone I'm meeting for the first time? I've studied that, so I know. My name is Gerda!"

However, the child quickly composed himself and politely introduced himself.

"Is it Miss Gerda? It's a very Scandinavian name, and it sounds lovely."

"Thank you, I also think it sounds nice when you read it."

A simple compliment was enough to bring a serene smile to the girl's face, and she immediately asked the names of the three people who had saved her.

“Numaru Ritsuka: 仈^ˉ物∞ˉ祁6⑥3！』咝＞'㈣∫ˉ⑵ I am Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“Yes, and my name is Mash Kyrielight.”

"Just call me Hafdan, Hafdan Gram, that's my name in Northern Europe."

“Okay, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash Kyrielight, and Halfdan Gram. Hmm, hmm. I got it!”

Gerda wrote down the three names, and the initial feeling of unfamiliarity faded considerably. Her childlike nature immediately kicked in, and she surrounded them, bombarding them with questions:

"Wow, you guys are amazing! You startled me! Which village are you from? Are you alright dressed so lightly? You don't look shivering, aren't you cold?"

Gerda was dressed in thick clothes, wrapped in a cloak, and covered with fur, making her look quite well-covered.

They were wearing black armor, with bare skin, which didn't look like anything that could keep them warm. Manju was only wearing a set of everyday clothes made of magic, while Fujimaru Ritsuka was wearing a special outfit designed to prevent frostbite.

However, there's no need to give a serious answer to the child. The other party is the first intelligent life form we've encountered in this Lostbelt that we can have a normal conversation with and that is not hostile. More importantly, we can obtain information from them.

The child didn't seem to be on guard at all, and didn't say much, just kept talking like a chatterbox.

“I was wearing a fur coat, so it wasn’t a problem. After all, once you decide to come to the village alone, you have to make preparations.”

The adults are too busy preparing for tomorrow to be of any help, so I have to handle everything myself, from preparing food to treating the child with a high fever.

Ah, ah, right, a return gift. One must repay kindness received, but I have nothing now and need to return to the village… but I need to gather good herbs before I can go back… Hmm, what should I do?”

Chapter Twenty-Six: Green Space

"Fufu, Fuwu!"

No matter when, Fou can sneak onto Mash and hide, and they can only discover this wise beast when they come out.

Children won't be frightened by Fou's appearance. Although they may not be able to tell what kind of creature Fou is, there is no doubt that she is cute.

Its leaping on the snow clearly caught Gorda's attention, causing the girl to crouch down and greet Fouf:

"So cute, come here, come over here!"

"Fu, Ga-wu!"

"This looks like fun. Is this how you do it... jump?"

"Fu—woo!"

The child quickly started playing with Fufu, seemingly forgetting all his earlier worries.

"Hehehe! If you're a mouse, you're far too beautiful. Are you a dog? Or a cat?"

Gerda didn't seem to have seen many animals in person, so she was even less able to perceive the strangeness of Fouf.

After all, even dogs and cats seemed to be animals she had only heard of, so it was indeed a bit far-fetched for her to guess Fufu's identity.

But Gerda quickly came to a conclusion, tapping her right hand on her palm and saying confidently, "Ah, I know, I know, you're a horse!"

"Ma Fu!?"

Fufu expressed her confusion at this inference.

"This is the first time I've ever seen an animal other than a sheep up close! You're so beautiful...?"

Ah, speaking of beautiful things, I saw one myself not long ago. A rainbow arched across the sky, a huge rainbow that stretched all the way to the other side of the mountain! Although no one else saw it, I did, isn't that amazing? Hehe!

The girl couldn't help but share her stories, and she never stopped, which was quite delightful. Meeting such a cheerful girl undoubtedly lifted one's spirits.

"Is Fufu so energetic because of the weather? Maybe this level of cold is just right for Fufu."

"Oh, look! They've only just met and she's already clinging to Miss Gerda. Oh, no, perhaps it's the other way around; it should be Miss Gerda clinging to Fou."

Mashu was both surprised and delighted that the two, human and beast, could get along so quickly.

"That's right, little Gerda is such a cheerful child."

"Yes, Miss Gerda is a very cheerful person. She said she came to this remote place to pick herbs for her friends. She must have a strong sense of responsibility."

There's something that's bothering me, though. He mentioned herbs, which means there's an area here where plants grow naturally? And if this is a matter that urgently needs to be resolved, then why is he the only one who left the village alone?

While it's unclear whether this has happened throughout the entire Nordic region, at least in this generation, there exists a dangerous race of Titans. Ordinary humans are incapable of fighting Titans; an encounter would inevitably result in certain death.

Even so, shouldn't the operation be carried out by a team of several adults equipped with more formal gear in an organized manner?

Mashu was puzzled by this situation; in her mind, it seemed quite strange.

"What's wrong? Are you talking about me?"

Mashu didn't try to hide her voice, and Gerda, who was next to her, could hear it too, so she immediately came over.

"Yes, I left the village to gather herbs. The adults were too busy preparing for tomorrow to think about these things, so the children had to figure them out themselves. And since I'm the older sister, I have to work hard. Hehe."

The child's last laugh was quite adorable, and Fufu joined in, saying, "Fufu!" The two seemed to have a very good relationship.

"Haha, thank you. Are you praising me? Fufu is such a good girl! So well-behaved, her fur is so beautiful. My hands actually feel so comfortable when I'm brushing her fur!"

The human and the beast immediately resumed their playful antics, and Fufu, whose fur was being combed, let out a comfortable sound.

"However, this generation is very dangerous, after all, it's an area where giants appear very frequently..."

"Yes, that's right. Although there are only a few scattered ones near the village, I know there are many giants in this area. But there's nothing I can do, since the envoy who can grant runes won't arrive until tomorrow."

Although any ailment can be cured immediately with rune treatment, Laura will probably die if she waits until tomorrow.

That's why I came here. I heard not long ago that this area has very effective medicinal herbs that can cure any ailment, especially fever.

"Well, oh dear, what I did was really reckless. According to the rules, we're absolutely not allowed to leave the village."

As Gerda spoke, she realized that her behavior was indeed somewhat absurd.

After all, she had only heard that there were herbs here, yet she took such a big risk to come here.

"Is that right?"

"Yes, originally no one was allowed to leave the village, you know that, right? Those who could go out, well, were only those chosen to serve as messengers to the gods."

The child wouldn't think too much, otherwise, given their bewildered appearance, it would probably be immediately obvious that they didn't live locally, or at least not in a village like hers.

(8) Mash was quite curious about the gods and messengers that Gerda mentioned, as this sounded like important information, so she quickly continued to ask.

However, Gerda chuckled softly at Mashu's question: "Hehe, no way, even if you try to test me like that, I won't take the bait!"

"Lady Mashu, the older sister in black armor. I've always heard that all those who wield swords or spears are messengers of the gods. Those who wield shields must be too, right, Lady Mashu!"

6. "You said... I am... an imperial envoy?"

6. Mashu's eyes widened; she hadn't expected this turn of events.

(3) "Of course, we are armed and can use rune magic. If these are the only characteristics we have, then we are undoubtedly the wielders."

4. Manshu picked up the trident in his hand, which could of course be considered a spear. As for rune magic, Manshu raised his hand and touched his eyelids, then directly drew a rune.

(iv) However, that was not the original rune, but a modern rune. The power of the original rune was considerable, and there was no need to use such a thing to demonstrate it.

(2) The runes drawn by Manju immediately turned into flames and smashed into the large tree made of ice next to him, melting the tree.

"Yeah, that's right."

This identity doesn't seem bad; it can bring temporary convenience, so it's alright to claim it temporarily. Fujimaru Ritsuka reluctantly nodded, then changed the subject:

"Anyway, let's go pick some herbs first, and then I'll trouble you to take us to the village."

Although it would be simpler to go directly to the village and use magic to heal, since we're already here, finding the item shouldn't be too difficult.

"That's great! I was just thinking how wonderful it would be if it were like this! With the older brothers and sisters around, we'll definitely be able to find the herbs smoothly."

Gerda was also overjoyed, since the three powerful figures in front of her had no reason to help her.

They couldn't possibly ask the other party to spend time helping them after saving them.

After all, he couldn't even give a return gift for saving him, so how could he ask others for anything?
