Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

Neil remained resolute, refusing to choose the seemingly safe path out of fear.

Although the move he chose was risky, he believed it had the best chance of success.

Seeing his appearance, Slud didn't say anything more, but tucked her golden hair behind her ear.

Her beautiful eyes were bright and gentle, revealing a sense of satisfaction and appreciation.

Neil didn't make this decision on a whim; he consulted her repeatedly before making the final decision.

The reason I asked that question was simply to determine whether Neil was qualified to survive on the battlefield.

She had actually seen similar situations many times as a Valkyrie.

He was clearly an excellent general who had made all the necessary preparations before the battle to ensure everything went smoothly.

But because he couldn't withstand the pressure and changed his mind at the last minute, one wrong step led to another, ultimately resulting in failure and death.

This is common; even heroic spirits and gods can experience this.

After clashing with the evil dragon, a tough battle is ahead. If Neil doesn't meet the standards, she plans to take over command.

This is Neil's island, but it's better to have a falling out than to be wiped out.

But now it seems I was worrying for nothing.

Neil took a deep breath and looked towards the sea.

While the concealment effect of the forest is mutual, the evil dragon's pirate ship is too huge, so only the two of them, the god and the human, benefit from this effect.

With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, he watched as the massive ship temporarily disappeared from his sight. Only after circling around to the back of the island did he turn his attention to his spoils.

The three-meter-long corpse, covered in a large net and riddled with quills.

[Hybrid Giant, Level 9 (Not yet entered the country), can be converted into 200 resource points, can extract Bloodline Rune: Berserk Lv1]

After glancing at the panel, Neil did not immediately retrieve the items, but instead joined Slud in scavenging the various resources he was carrying.

Unlike giants, half-giants have real equipment. Although their armor is damaged, it can be repaired and still be used. Their axes, which can deflect lightning arrows, are also invaluable weapons.

It might become a material for creating new building blueprints.

"Moreover, if he had any healing medicine with him, even just a little, it would allow Slud to recover faster and completely resolve the crisis."

Neil thought to himself.

Working together, the two of them were not tired, and in just a few minutes, they had almost finished collecting everything.

Although it was a bit of a shame that there was no medication, Neil quickly adjusted his mindset.

He then turned his attention to something else.

"These runes belong to the Half-Giants, but aren't in their bloodline, so they can't be obtained?"

After reviewing the panel again and confirming that there was only the "Berserk" rune on it, Neil nodded and pondered.

He remembered that the pirate had used runic magic before he was turned into a hedgehog.

Although the pirate was castrated before he could use many moves due to the suddenness of the attack, the longsword he held did indeed emit a silvery-white light.

"Sharpness" rune!

But compared to the longsword Neil wielded, that sword shone even brighter. Despite having relatively lower-level runes, it was able to deflect "lightning" arrows.

If it weren't for the simultaneous attacks from multiple arrow towers by Nierduo, even if they were ambushed, the pirates might actually have survived by wielding their longswords.

Even if it's the same type of rune, the one the other person has is clearly of a higher level than mine.

After he fell, under the cover of a rain of "lightning" arrows, a "sharp" arrow, poised to be fired, accurately struck the longsword, but was easily deflected, which illustrates this point.

Neil wanted to take the longsword to study it, but before he could react, several pirates rushed out and caused trouble.

Although they were eventually driven back, the long sword was retrieved by the enemy.

Neil pondered for a moment and then asked Slud if there was a concept of levels in runes.

After receiving an affirmative answer from the tall, blonde, blue-eyed female teacher, Neil remembered that Slud had mentioned the concept of evil dragons before.

Because Slud deliberately obscured the concept of runes at the time, Neil didn't think of it immediately, but now everything is connected.

With the addition of notes on the runes on the panel, Nilton's knowledge in this area has improved considerably.

"Is there a way to quickly increase rune level?"

"I currently possess so many runes, although they are all of the lowest level and very weak. However, from another perspective, this means there is huge potential for improvement, and it is relatively easy to achieve this."

"Even if only one of them is upgraded by one level, it might improve the overall strength of the position and make it better able to resist the invasion of the pirate group."

Neil's eyes lit up as he looked at Slud and asked eagerly.

After all, runes are granted through the technology tree of external cheats.

The significance of the technology tree is that as long as the technology is upgraded, the technology in other existing buildings can be shared and upgraded!

Upon hearing this, even Slud was somewhat stunned.

She hadn't considered this aspect; after all, it was the first time she had seen Neil in such a situation, and she didn't react for a moment.

She lowered her head, then raised it after a while, her eyes shining like jewels.

While Neil and Slud were considering their options, the Evil Dragon Pirates were also pushing forward with their plans.

The pirate ship, painted with blue and red patterns, was huge, but it was not cumbersome at all; on the contrary, it was very fast. It circled the island in less than half an hour, and after roughly figuring out the situation, it docked on the west side. One after another, figures jumped off the deck and onto the shore.

These pirates had different skin colors, were large and strong, and wore heavy leather armor and horned helmets, typical of Viking attire.

Each of them carried a huge weapon, dispersed to their designated positions, stopped, and began to slowly approach and converge towards the eastern forest.

The thought that a severely wounded god might be lurking in the forest filled the pirates with an irrepressible greed.

Even though they haven't succeeded yet, they've already started fantasizing about how powerful they would become after sacrificing that being.

"But that Van Nistelrooy just had us moving so slowly."

"Forget about the captain, why should a powerful being like me listen to a mere dwarf?"

"When I get the chance, I must 'accidentally' sacrifice him. Although it won't give me much power back, it will definitely make me feel less frustrated."

The pirates muttered to themselves, their expressions clearly savage, their blood boiling with barely suppressed rage.

Normally, even if they were resentful, they would be able to suppress their anger to some extent.

But having already sacrificed heroic spirits and enjoyed the thrill of a sudden increase in strength, the thought of finding something even purer and readily available naturally makes him feel like a million ants are crawling all over him, making it hard to resist.

Gilkin was the most short-tempered of the pirates. Even before Fanny became the first mate, he often bullied the short man for fun, which led to Gilkin being isolated on the ship.

Even so, he always managed to survive the brutal life of a pirate and the countless bloody battles.

Through repeated trials, he grew stronger and stronger, and even the captain regarded him as a sharp blade, believing him to be more useful than others.

But he was still resentful.

Why should I be ordered around by a weak, short guy?

So what if the gods in the forest pose a threat? At that level, he can easily take them down.

and so.

In the present, we act alone, dispersed from one another, without any checks and balances.

Without hesitation, he suddenly burst forward, rushing towards the forest at top speed.

He is destined to achieve great things.

Even more so, he ate this food all by himself!
