Players’ NPC daddy

Players who wanted some materials participated in the work of repairing the gate. The Christmas lottery tickets did not have an expiration date. Of course, there were also players who wanted to save some Christmas lottery tickets for next year.

In just one or two days, the map has changed dramatically. God knows what it will look like in a year.

However, most of the players are in a relatively comfortable state, playing around in this super-large house castle, such as playing teacup bumper cars.

Players drive sugar teacup cars and crash them on the table. The one that breaks loses. The broken sugar can be melted and then kneaded into new sugar.

It’s a pity that the number of teacups is limited and there are too many players who want to play, but fortunately the other facilities are interesting enough.

The entire Christmas Giant House has turned into a huge amusement park, and everyone is looking forward to next Christmas.

What players look forward to more than Christmas is the lucrative [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

It is also an activity called the Infinite Pool by foreigners. Judging from the results of the last Nimian Giant Defense Preparation Activity, it was just a small profit.

Faced with a marketing campaign of this scale for the first time, Hermes' Traveling Hat seemed a little overwhelmed and invested money recklessly, resulting in a lot of bad debts when the accounts were settled afterwards.

In the Christmas event, which had experience and was well prepared, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] did not make any mistakes except for operating at overload.

In this event, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] harvested an astonishing amount of materials, and these materials were also used in trades with various kingdoms, greatly enriching the inventory of [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

If these materials were converted into equivalent currency, the value of [Hermes' Traveling Cap] would inflate to its highest value ever.

Unfortunately, the gap in the gold coin for [Hermes' Traveling Cap] has not been filled.

In this event, foreigners used Christmas raffle tickets, and because the prize pool contained gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and gem coins, the money earned from the sale of the [Christmas Explorer Set] was also used to pay for it, and a lot of gem coins were also lost.

The first time was new, the second time was a little more proficient, and the third time, Hebi would be completely confident. She planned to prepare for a year and fight again on Christmas Day next year.

Blaze finally got a chance to breathe and wander the streets with nothing to do.

After taking off his armor, he looked very inconspicuous among the strange strangers. The strangers also took other people's thoughts into consideration and did not drive around to look for evidence.

Neither Marika nor Audrey followed. The two of them... were too conspicuous. They were the focus of the crowd wherever they went.

Blaze stopped halfway and sat down next to a fruit stand, staring at the strangers walking around.

"Why are you sitting here?" Odin picked a big red apple from his pocket and handed it to Blaze. "Young people like you should be having fun with strangers. It's boring to sit here."

"Of course, it would be better if you could go crazy in your room at night."

Blaze rolled his eyes, ignoring the obscenity in Odin's subtext.

“I like to sit down and think, where should I go tomorrow?”

"Tomorrow... Of course it's Arcadia."

"I thought you were going to say Asgard." Blaze found it a little strange. Usually, Odin would say things like "When will you have a baby?" like an old grandfather, and he would hint in some way that he had to go to Asgard to inherit the throne.

"Ah, speaking of this, thank you for helping Marika share the pressure. Please keep up the good work in the future."

"You're welcome. After all, Marika handles trivial matters properly and delicately. And she only needs to sit there and tell everyone who is the boss here."

"You are such a nobody!" Blaze was speechless.

Odin is very wise and possesses infinite wisdom. This infinite wisdom tells Odin that as long as he holds Gungnir in his hand and possesses infinite power, he can ensure that his ruling position will not be shaken.

Simple and crude, but very effective.

"Forget it, just tell me why you went to Arcadia and what did you see?"

"I have long lost the ability to see the future. What I remind you of are always what I have seen in the past, things that should have happened in the past, but have only happened now." Odin lifted his hat and tapped the socket of his right eye.

"What I'm telling you now is just some advice from an old man who failed in life. Don't just keep moving forward. Occasionally turn around and look back at where you've been. See if you're better than you were back then, and if you've gained anything new."

"If it is, then you have moved up a circle. If it is not, then you will know what you are still missing."

"……I got it."

Blaze turned the apple in his hand, then took a bite. It seemed to taste better than before.

"Ah, speaking of which... do you know the Rumbler? Hela wants me to help her find the Rumbler's palace."

"This is a bit beyond the scope for an old man who was lying dead in the pit a long time ago and was not resurrected until this new era." Odin spread his hands. Being killed by Balder and then lying dead became an excellent reason.

"You can ask me about what happened before I died. I promise to tell you everything I know."

"Before I died..." Blaze held his chin with his hands, his eyes a little dazed. To be honest, he was not very interested in the Age of Gods.

Of course he was interested in it before, but now... it was like a powder keg that could explode at any time, and he had no intention of actively detonating it.

"I... seem to have something I really want to know, but it's mostly gossip."

"Did a god take a fancy to Balder before?"

"Yes, but the cause and effect are quite complicated. You just need to know that this is just another prank of Loki." Odin leaned back and the chair made a creaking sound.

"We burned that man's father to death. According to our principle of blood debt for blood, she has the right to take revenge on us, but we let her make any conditions. As a result, she fell in love with Balder, but in the end it didn't work out."

"Why didn't it work?"

Odin patted his chest and curled his lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Why do you ask?"

"Ah~ I teased Hela and said that Hebi was her stepmother, and Hela used the fact that [Blind Eyes is Balder's twin] to scare me. Now it seems that she is attracted to Balder, and has nothing to do with me, not to mention that Balder and I don't look alike at all."

After a long silence, Odin reached out and patted Blaze's shoulder.

"Blazer, you have to know that sometimes if a person is very good, people will lie to him with their eyes open."

Chapter 1095 Need help?

Blaze accompanied Odin to sell fruits for a while, and said that if the position Odin wanted to give up to him was this fruit stall, he would definitely be willing to inherit it.

Odin, contrary to his usual attitude, refused sternly.

He ran this fruit stand for twenty years before he paid off the loan from Hermes' Traveling Hat and got on the track of profitability. A young man like Blaze should be self-reliant instead of thinking about his cheap father's business.

The more Odin refused, the more excited Blaze became, but they all knew that what they were fighting for was not the fruit stall, but a peaceful life.

Blaze longed for Odin to return to a peaceful life, but Odin knew that Blaze was destined to not be able to sit quietly in front of the fruit stand.

This kid couldn't even stay in the hot spring for an hour, and he had to be watched by three girls, so how could he be willing to sit in the fruit stand? So until Blazer was really tired and couldn't do it anymore, he would watch over the fruit stand.

Blazer, who had been frustrated, left the fruit stand with a pout, muttering about Odin's stinginess, but he didn't really take it to heart. He was soon attracted by something more novel - a fighting competition to select Santa Claus.

The fighting competition that was supposed to be held on Christmas Eve was postponed to Christmas Day due to the intrusion of the evil spirit Krampus.

The venue is a specially built Christmas cake competition arena. Any Santa Claus defeated by Santa Claus will lose his job and be eliminated.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the audience below the stage was even more excited, cheering with tickets in their hands.

"Tickets?" Blaze was stunned and focused his attention on the ticket in a stranger's hand, which was a bet on who would win.

There is probably only one person who would do such a thing.

"Hey."

Blaze reached back and grabbed a kid who was trying to sneak away after noticing him coming.

"Oh, oh, I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing. This, this is not good." Cold sweat ran down Herbie's face, and the expression mask that he was good at in the past lost its effect in front of Blaze.

"You bastard! You actually do this kind of thing on Christmas!"

"There's nothing I can do! I just want to stir up some heat before Christmas is over!" Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Herbie immediately escaped from his thick baby bear coat and turned around and ran away.

"You can't stop me anymore!"

"Hey! Clothes, you'll catch a cold!"

Herbie and Blaze chased each other, and in the end, of course, Blaze caught up with Herbie and tied him up in a baby-swaddle style.

Even though Hebie was tied up, he kept shouting that he was doing it for the good of everyone and that he just wanted to stir up the hype, which fully displayed the ugliness of unscrupulous businessmen.

"At least tell me you're not doing anything shady, like bribing the contestants or something like that."

"That's a bit unscrupulous." Herbie returned to his serious look, "It's unethical to manipulate the game behind the scenes, and the cost is too high."

Then Herbie resumed his grinning self.

"At most, I just quietly invested in super players."

"You!" Blaze felt around and finally picked up Gungnir and pointed it at Herbie. "I heard that the evil ghost Krampus would whip bad kids with the birch tree in his hand. Grit your teeth!"

Of course, Blaze couldn't really whip him hard, but he just tapped him lightly, and Herbie howled like a puppy, and in the end it was Blaze who surrendered.

After playing around, the two sat on the roof of the Cuckoo Clock Villa, and Blaze got down to business.

"I'm going to Arcadia."

"Oh! Half a year after taking office, you finally remembered your identity as the Silver Knight." Hebie's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head.

"It's not the right time. I can't go with you. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with here. For example, guidance on the living arrangements of the Jinlungabei people, and of course, mainly the renovation of the Christmas Giant House."

The Christmas Giant House is the venue for the entire Christmas event, and the whole event is so interesting because of the Christmas Giant House.

But after the event is over, the strangers can pack up and leave to embark on the next adventure. The task of cleaning up this Christmas giant house falls on the head of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Cleaning up the mess is not the most important part. The most important thing is to change the Christmas atmosphere in the Christmas Giant House.

It is impossible for this giant house to be open only at Christmas, nor can it maintain the Christmas atmosphere all year round, otherwise everyone will get bored of this Christmas giant house.

Herbie planned to spend a month changing the Christmas decorations in the Giant House to the normal winter Giant House decorations, and then make some structural changes to give the strangers a brand new feeling.

This would be a big project, and the resources required were secondary, but energy was the main thing. Hebi couldn't just supervise it all the time, but at least she had to pay 70% attention to it. Even she couldn't just pop out from a corner when needed like she usually did.

"Do you know what this means?" Herbie leaned back, supporting himself on the eaves with his hands. "You have to come to me for help. This will be a huge hurdle for you to overcome."

"is it hard?"

"It's hard." Herbie smiled. She knew that Blaze was unaware of this, so she made things clear.

"You're not very good at asking for help from the weak, are you?"

Blaze had no intention of refutation, because it was not that he was not good at it, but he had never thought of asking for help from the weak.

He believed that the purpose of gaining great power was to protect the weak.

"Blaze, am I powerful?"

"Very powerful." Blaze nodded, but Herbie smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not strong. Even now, I don't meet your standards of a strong person. I'm not strong enough, and I'm not fast enough, right?"

Blaze was speechless. His judgment on strength was indeed a bit simplistic and rough.

"The reason why you think I am strong is because I took the initiative to show you my strength, but you can't expect everyone who has their own unique strength to work as hard as I do to show themselves."

"So let me start with you, Blaze. I will actively seek help from the weak, and find more powerful people who can take unconventional approaches."

Blaze exhaled lightly, keeping Herbie's words in mind, but he didn't want to be completely lectured.

"So when are you going to ask me for help? Isn't your profession completely useless?"

"Cough cough cough cough cough -"

Herbie coughed violently, his face flushed.

"Really, if I really need you, I will ask for your help without hesitation."

Chapter 1096 Appears again

Arcadia, Wolf Head Grass Village.

The small village, which was once on the edge, has become a popular spot due to the exposure of the Acadians and its proximity to the sacrificial stone forest.

There was an endless stream of strangers coming in, and the originally empty village was immediately filled up.

When Blaze visited again, the place had changed a lot, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the village chief's young but deep eyes.

"It's hard for me to imagine that the young man who wore ill-fitting armor and forced himself to be reliable has now become..." The village chief looked at Blaze, racking his brains for the right words, and finally let out a sigh.

"heavy."

"Before you only wore armor on your body, but now the armor is on your heart."

"Village Chief, I call it harvest." Blaze put one hand on his waist and enjoyed the cool breeze at night. "Those responsibilities and obligations make me feel down-to-earth every step of the way, and I know what I should do every day."

"I'm less confused than others. Isn't that a good thing?"

"So you're going to help deal with the Black Witch Coven's enthusiasm for the Arcadians?"

"..." Blaze's eyes tilted slowly, then turned back suddenly, and said confidently, "What are you talking about? The charm that attracted the Black Witch Cult to hunt was the Arcadian people's random charm, and it has nothing to do with me."
