The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

"???"

This question may be too profound for Gerda, and she doesn't know how to answer it.

"Don't you feel...uncomfortable? Have you ever thought about the future, about what it will be like when you become an adult? Don't you wish you could go out into the world beyond your small village without fear of the giants? Have you ever thought about being free?"

Goldruf is only angry about the life concept of the people in the Nordic Lostbelt. His family uses technology from the Einzbern family.

Goldruff also grew up under the care of androids and has always been in contact with androids. In his eyes, although the child in front of him is not a android, he is no different from an android.

"The future? Freedom? The world?"

Gerda was still extremely confused and bewildered, as if these concepts were completely incomprehensible to her.

"Ms. Gerda, no matter how healthy you are, you will end your life in your 20s. In such a world, how can you be so carefree and cheerful..."

"Hey, hey, Mashu-sama, can you please raise your head? And Uncle Chubby, please don't look so confused, okay? Um, sorry, I don't quite understand. I can't understand what you two are talking about. Maybe it's because I'm not very good at reading and writing... What exactly do you mean by the so-called future...

I understand the literal meaning, it means the days after tomorrow, right? But, um... it's so difficult..."

"Is it... difficult to understand?"

Mash and Goldruf's expressions didn't change, they just became more serious.

Gerda was able to answer easily, she really didn't realize what the two were asking, and for her part, she seemed to have completely ignored these questions.

8 “I understand the literal meaning of the so-called freedom, which means not being locked up at home or tied up with ropes. Am I right…right?

If that's the case, then I'm free. I can go anywhere in the village! I can go to the village fields, to the canteen, and visit anyone's home. I can go to Laura's house and see the faces of newborn babies. "

25 But the problem does not lie here. For Gerda, is the end of everything, and the size of the world is generally just this village, but this is not normal.

liu "The world we live in. Humans can live longer."

⑹ “Can you live past 25?”

Three "Yes, it can be longer, longer, and even longer... although not everyone can achieve it..."

"Yes, some people can live to be 18 years old. Not only their own children, but also their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Of course, the premise is that they are healthy enough.

㈣ Let’s not talk about death due to illness or accidents. But not everyone will die at the age of 15 or 25. The only people who are born with a short life span are probably artificial humans, so this is not something I need to worry about.”

⑵ "Grandson... great-grandson..."

"Well, even if there are no grandchildren or great-grandchildren, there are still people who can spend a long life with their loved ones. In order to realize their ideals, they do not form a family, but spend their lives with friends and partners. Alas, why do I have to say these words? The magician is actually talking about the happiness of being a human being."

Goldruf couldn't help but feel sad as he spoke, but soon his eyebrows tilted towards his nose. He couldn't suppress his sadness and anger, and shouted loudly:

But if no one else wants to say it, I have to say it. What happened? What happened to you? You were able to accept your lifespan with a smile. Not only are you not angry, you don't even have a trace of fear? Even the Yagas who were forced to live a harsh life still have the freedom to linger on!

Humph, I’m not happy, I’m very unhappy! And the communication situation is not good! I’m going to sleep! Goodbye! "

Unable to control his emotions, Goldruf finally hung up the phone and left. Fujimaru Ritsuka was speechless. After a while, Mash finally spoke again:

"As Mr. Fatty said, Miss Gerda. Our world is extremely complex, but on the contrary, we have unlimited choices. I guess it is based on mutual affirmation and mutual negation that it continues to grow and develop.

Human beings are like this, and there should be no difference even in Northern Europe. Human beings can do anything, and this must be what freedom means. Perhaps the things that cannot be done in reality are the majority. There are ten out of ten things in life that are not satisfactory. But, but, everyone, yes - you must have wishes.

Miss Gerda, do you have any wishes in this world?

"My wish?"

This is an understandable question, but it doesn't seem to be an easy question to answer. Gerda closed her eyes and thought: "Well, well... I successfully picked the herbs, and today's dinner was delicious. How should I put it? I don't have any wishes now.

I usually have them, is that true? I hope to catch a big fish, bake delicious bread, and so on... Ah, I also want to see the beautiful rainbow again...

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about, and I don't think I can answer it exactly, but... it's great to be an old man and be able to do everything."

"No, I should be the one apologizing. I didn't expect to put you in such a mess. I'm sorry, Miss Gerda."

"No, I really think it's great. Although I understand it, I even think it's a fantasy. It's surprising that I can't even imagine it vaguely in my mind. This is the first time such a thing has happened. I heard that the words of the imperial envoy are difficult to understand, but I didn't expect it to be true.

I don't even know much about children, grandchildren, and then that... great-grandchild. I can actually see the face of a child several generations later. If I can become an old man, I can do this. I haven't imagined such a thing, because, because, no one can live that long. "

Despite this, the concept that should not exist in the minds of people living in this land still appeared in Gerda's mind.

Although it is only something extremely vague and even uncertain.

"There's no need to ask more. Let's wait until tomorrow to ask the so-called imperial envoy who will come."

To say these words all at once, which Gerda could not understand, would only add to the burden on the child.

Which is better, dying in ignorance but happily or dying in pain knowing the truth?

Time quickly came to the next day, and the children gathered together early in the morning, along with adults who had not been seen before.

The children handed the bouquets to the adults, and Gerda explained:

"Those special flowers that the children spent half a year cultivating, without them, there is no way to go to Valhalla. Only souls holding proof of being loved can go to Valhalla.

A long, long time ago, so long ago that no one can count, the gods made this rule, so children can cultivate flowers. This is work. "

"Valhalla? Is today the day for you to say goodbye to those who have reached the age of 25 and those who have not yet had children at the age of 15?"

This is already obvious, but the existence of Valhalla has slightly changed Manshu's mind.

"Yes, I must thank you even more. Because if I had been crushed by the giant, I wouldn't have received the bouquet, and my soul would have been wandering endlessly, and I wouldn't have been able to go to Valhalla! So, I really thank you." Ba

The place of farewell is the gate they entered yesterday, but under normal circumstances, this gate cannot be entered.

Normally, this door is a door that can only be used to exit but not enter. Only the chosen adults will go out on the chosen day.

"My Lord, my Lord, let us obey the will of God and offer everything."

The adults knelt on the ground, bowed their heads deeply, and shouted loudly, as if they were holding a ceremony.

From the sky, there were multiple extremely high magical reactions, and the number was multiple, and beautiful white figures came from the sky.

Chapter 29: Legion

"People."

"Man, man. Today is the day of the Chosen. Man, today your lives will be harvested."

"This is love. You should understand that this is the hand of love extended by the only God who remains on earth. Man, man, bow your head and praise the ice and snow and the glory."

A beautiful female voice came from the sky, and the people who had bowed their heads and closed their eyes and prayed silently below opened their eyes to welcome the imperial envoy.

"Master! Master! Glorious Valkyrie, please take the adults away! They obeyed all the rules of the gods and raised us. Those who didn't raise us also played with us until we were 14 years old! There is not a single bad person, so please take them to Valhalla!"

The children recited these last words as if they were priests presiding over a ritual sacrifice.

And these 15-year-olds and 25-year-old adults who have no children standing in front of the gate are the sacrifices.

But Manshu felt a little strange. These people who were going to be sent as sacrifices to Valhalla did not have any weapons in their hands.

In the Nordic world, if one died in order to reach Valhalla, it would indeed be understandable.

But it seems completely irrelevant that these adults don't even have weapons, let alone serve as warriors for them.

Could it be that Odin's Valhalla now accepts everyone, as long as they are human?

But this seems even more strange. What is the point of recruiting people to go to Valhalla?

The answer to the question cannot be found out by thinking alone, but the object that can provide the answer is obviously about to fall from the sky and will appear here.

So there was no need to think too much about it. Manshu raised his head and looked at the figure descending from the sky wearing a white bird ceremonial costume.

"So this is what a so-called envoy is... Holding a weapon and using the runes of the great god, he is indeed the messenger of the great god."

As expected, they were the Valkyries, messengers of the Great God. Their aura as demigods was revealed without any concealment, allowing people to recognize their true identities.

"People, people. Now you are allowed to rejoice. According to the rules, the door will soon be opened for you.

Once the door is opened, there is no need to hesitate, just move forward and sacrifice your life as a sacrifice to the giant.

Thus, even your unfought souls will be enchanted into the warrior's hall. Rejoice, O man. Laugh, O man, for this is the love that the One God has given.

Valkyrie solemnly announced to the humans below, and those who were about to embark on the journey also stood up and prepared to move forward.

"Thank you very much, my Lord. Please allow us to express our gratitude to the gods and the grace you have bestowed upon us. We are about to set out. Come, please open the door, open it for us..."

"Then open it. Your lives will end here!" Wu

Valkyrie nodded and began to open the gate of the village.

"Wait!"

Manshu was still watching, wanting to see how the Valkyries were going to deal with these people, but Fujimaru Ritsuka next to him couldn't help but shout out.

"......?"

The Valkyrie was stunned for a moment, and cast a puzzled look, only then did she discover several people with different styles.

The clothing styles of the residents in this village are pretty much the same, and Manshu and his companions are not disguised, so they can be identified at a glance.

"Man, a strange sound is coming. Man, this is a shocking situation, a sin that should be despised. Who is obstructing the selection ceremony, the solemn event that ends human life?"2

The imperial envoy still maintained a condescending look and asked, trying to find out the identity of this outsider. Mashu immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Please wait, Valkyrie."

Seeing that the two people next to her suddenly interrupted the ceremony, Gerda hurriedly grabbed Mashu and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Mashu-sama... No, no, no, you can't do anything that violates the rules on the chosen day!"

But now was obviously not the time to discuss this. Fujimaru Ritsuka went to comfort Gerda, while Mash continued to move forward and resolutely asked Valkyrie:

"You mentioned Valhalla, right? The palace of the gods, the hall of warriors. In Norse mythology, it should be the place where the souls of brave warriors, heroes, heroes, and other warriors go, as the name implies.

They don't hold weapons in their hands, nor do they wear armor! They are not warriors, and you are going to watch them being killed by giants and do nothing? You are such a worshipped being! "

Mashu asked in confusion. No matter what, what she saw was still a massacre.

Even though the souls of these people are about to go to Valhalla, the palace of warriors, they are indeed not warriors, they are just going to die.

They had no weapons or armor and were just being fed as food to the giants. This was not something that could be tolerated or watched.

"Atheists? The connection records do show that atheists have entered our divine domain. It seems that it is you. Then, I have no choice but to bring down all slaughter—"

Valkyrie made the decision decisively. After determining that Mashu was not a local but a godless person who came from other places, she immediately raised her shield and light gun.

"Wait……!"

Mashu didn't even have time to react. Just as she uttered a word, Valkyrie's attack had already reached her.

That was a rune that was released without being drawn. It was released without any action, making it impossible for people to react in time.

Mashu probably didn't expect the opponent to launch an attack so decisively, and was directly hit by the flames spewed out by the rune.

"Goooo..."

Mashu's exoskeleton armor still blocked the attack, but the price was that she fell to her knees with a look of pain on her face.

"Know, O men, that it is futile to resist the Master. To resist the Master's will is itself disrespectful, O men.

You are...ah, is that so, souls who have reached the age of 15 without bearing children? Then die. Your souls will not go to Valhalla, but will only be devoured as sacrifices by giants. Die without love, people. "

Valkyrie still spoke indifferently, like a god standing on the stage, making arbitrary judgments.

"What do you mean, there is no love...!"

Mashu shouted angrily in confusion. She couldn't understand, and she had no way to understand. No matter what, she couldn't agree with the cruel rules before her.

"I don't understand this Nordic world, nor do I know your values. But I know very well that this is a cruel act! I don't mean sacrificing villagers to giants, but letting children die when they are still children! I can't tolerate this kind of behavior in any way!"

"Indeed, even if we offer a sacrifice, it should be a warrior. Such a meaningless sacrifice is a huge waste." 5℃,

Manshu grasped the trident and stepped forward to block Valkyrie's sudden charge.

"The masters cannot fight each other... Master Halfdan! Master Mashu!"

When Gerda saw that the two sides had already started fighting, she couldn't help but shout anxiously.

"No, Miss Gerda! I am not a master! So I can fight her here and now!"

"Since the envoy is just a Valkyrie, it is not worthy of me to call her that. Even if you are the daughter of a great god, if you are not brave enough, you are not worthy of my respect. Let me measure your level as a Valkyrie."

Although Valkyrie exists as the daughter of the great god Odin, she is a demigod close to a god.

But it is obvious that the Valkyrie during Mansu's lifetime was not a powerful daughter of a god like Brunhilde.

Manjushri waved the trident in his hand and praised the lightning of Lord Shiva. Valkyrie, who was wielding a light gun, was immediately defeated.

Whether in terms of strength or other physical qualities, this Valkyrie is far inferior to Manshu.

Valkyrie could only quickly use runes to strengthen herself so that the battle could continue.

But the shield and light gun in her hand could not block the lightning of Lord Shiva at all, and the swan costumes on their bodies also collapsed at the touch.

The white dress on Valkyrie was a gift from the great god Odin. It not only gave people the ability to fly, but also was blessed by Odin, which could reject all effects that affected the spirit and deflect physical attacks below level B.
