He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

Mashu read it again, pondering its meaning.

Why is it said, "Don't believe... Stay rational, stay clear-headed"?

"Senior, this statement seems normal at first glance, but considering the clues we've uncovered before..."

"Is this tone implying something?"

While seemingly reminding them to be rational and clear-headed, they had obtained numerous recordings containing what appeared to be crucial clues before arriving. Although those clues didn't confirm Odin's involvement, they certainly helped Chaldea verify certain things.

Now, I suddenly received this notification.

It was as if a small thorn had suddenly been planted in their hearts.

Was it just a casual suggestion or a coincidence?

surely not.

This specific reminder undoubtedly indicates that the previous recordings were unreliable.

But what is the stance of the person who delivers the message and deems it untrustworthy?

Is he simply speaking up for Odin?

Or perhaps...

They present themselves as seemingly clear-headed and sensible, but in reality, the other party and the person who left the recording have an irreconcilable conflict.

That seems to have given rise to a question of stance beyond the matter itself.

Ritsuka also muttered to herself, and with her modern internet surfing experience, she instantly sensed something amiss:

"I think I'm starting to understand! ...Could this kind of guy be considered a 'rational and objective' person?"

They are the kind of people who seem objective and neutral, but actually have ulterior motives and often stir up trouble.

"If that's the case, then that's terrible! I've heard that in America, people often use these kinds of inflammatory rhetoric to incite conflict among the people, such as issues of race, immigration, gender, and all sorts of other problems!"

"Senior, now is not the time to complain about this..." Mashu said with a headache. How did the topic suddenly veer off to this point?

"The problem now is that we don't know which side to take..."

"Hey! You two, I think there's no need to rush into making a choice."

At this moment, Cú Chulainn suddenly interrupted.

His reaction was quite different from the two Chaldeans. He was no longer so tense, but rather unusually relaxed.

Because they had finally confirmed the goal they had come here to find.

'There are still some sensible people in the city; it's necessary to confirm this person's identity right now.'

'This person must hold a fairly high position, at least enough to freely assign these low-ranking patrolmen.'

"As for this person having their own agenda, that's normal, and that's not the point. What's most important to me is that this person must know the source of those 'conspiracy theories'!"

'Once we establish contact with this person, we can resolve the issue at its root, making Chaldea, and even the people of this world, understand that this was all a misunderstanding, thus clarifying the truth once and for all and reversing public opinion!'

Thinking of this, Cú Chulainn continued leisurely:

"Actually, what you are worried about now is secondary. In the end, your indecisiveness and difficulty in making decisions is simply due to a lack of information."

"Mr. Cú Chulainn means that we need to understand the situation of this force first, right?"

"sodayo".

"Hey, look! Doesn't that thing look just like that Noble Phantasm cannon from the Seventh Singularity?!"

Ritsuka craned her neck and looked up to see a group of militiamen slowly pushing a heavy crossbow, which resembled a long-range attack vehicle, onto the parapet.

Mashu didn't think much of it at first, but her eyes widened quickly.

She saw those people stuffing the glittering treasures into the launch ports.

Immediately afterwards, a streak of light ripped through the sky and blasted towards the southeastern suburbs of the city, blasting several stray monsters to smithereens.

Isn't that the King's Horn Cannon that Gilgamesh created during the Seventh Singularity?

No, to be precise, that thing is called the 'Seal of Divine Authority'. 'King's Horn' is the name of the Noble Phantasm that Gilgamesh registered when he appeared in the world as Caster.

"Why is this in Snowfield City? Could it be that the Hero King, no, the Wise King, has also appeared in this world?"

Ritsuka looked completely dazed.

Since Quetzalcoatl and Tiamat are outside, it's not impossible that a wise king is inside the city, and perhaps even Ishtar, Ereshkigal, etc...

Wait a minute, the timeline is wrong! Even if Gilgamesh came, why would he insist on being king in the modern era?

“A wise king? That’s hard to say.” Cú Chulainn also shook his head.

He glanced over and immediately understood the general situation.

That ballista style is a Nordic style that is not quite the same as that of Mesopotamia, and it was the most commonly used model in Viking naval warfare.

The runes still bear traces of skillful craftsmanship, showing considerable skill and accuracy. Even the general format of the runes is completely consistent, indicating that the technical expertise is top-notch and that it is not a product of a small workshop but rather a mass-produced item.

Regardless of the yield rate, at least the standardization of this process is quite high...

If I were doing it, this level of skill wouldn't be much different...

"Ok?"

Cú Chulainn suddenly realized something.

Wait, is it possible that it originally came from oneself?

So, in this world, some people are using their Spirit Origin accounts to do things, while others are defaming their reputation and even stealing everything from their accounts.

Great job, you guys did a great job...

Spreading conspiracy theories and engaging in smear campaigns is practically an insult to Odin!

Then came the account hijacking and the theft of items... This isn't just a matter of saving face; they didn't even leave anything behind!

One by one, they all bully me like this!

Wait a minute! Watch out, or I'll catch you!

......

"I told you, anything made by Odin is bound to be top-notch! It's all thanks to the great god's generous gift!"

"Really great! Excellent, excellent!"

Valhalla Palace in the city center.

As Lu Ming talked to someone, he watched as the gleaming, standardized weapons flowed out of the assembly line-like processing device. He looked on with surprise and let out a soft exclamation.

The enormous, cold-colored outer shell of divine iron resembled a gold-devouring behemoth with an insatiable thirst for raw materials.

It bared its crystal-like fangs, mercilessly devouring large quantities of high-carbon steel and special steel recycled from all over the city, as well as obsidian, lapis lazuli, and various colorful gemstones and ores.

What it expelled were exquisitely designed and exceptionally high-quality magical artifacts.

Lu Ming bent down and gently stroked the weapons that had just come out of the palace production line. Their shimmering colors and smooth, hard texture made them irresistible.

Oh wow, I knew it...

No wonder Odin could lavishly equip his subordinates with full suits of armor and an inexhaustible supply of weapons and equipment, displaying the extravagant and nouveau riche attitude of a wealthy man.

Moreover, the rune blessings on them were uniform and easy to replicate, even more standardized than those that Lu Ming himself painstakingly carved using his 'rune personality'...

So, the real reason was actually here!

With that level of technical skill, I could do it too!

Beside Lu Ming, Aozaki Touko was equally astonished.

In fact, she had been squatting here every day ever since the reconstruction of this Valhalla ruins began.

After all, this is a temple!

Even if it's beaten to a pulp, it's still imbued with the aura of a great master.

What level of existence is a "god"?

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lu Ming made her lose face.

But His mysterious life form, being from an extremely high dimension, could produce anything, even a tiny fragment slipping from between his fingers, that would be priceless and enough to make ordinary modern magicians fight tooth and nail to snatch it up. A little resale of such items would be enough to make him a fortune!

Even the spirit tomb Albion beneath the Clock Tower, with its remnants of an environment close to the Age of Gods, produces such highly sought-after items, with strong demand.

By comparing the two, one can imagine that the value of a masterpiece is immeasurable!

Therefore, even if Aozaki Touko had no work to do here, she would still want to stay here and not leave.

Fortunately, this entire temple complex belongs to their family, so Orange was able to apply for the right to use it. If it were any other magician, they would have to pry every single brick off the site and take it all away.

The assets of a master are truly abundant; everyone covets their wealth!

Thinking of this, Orange suddenly turned her gaze to Skadi, the servant beside her. According to the Book of Kings of Norway, Skadi should also be considered Odin's wife.

But Skadi being with our team means she's clearly at odds with Odin and has broken ties with him. Does that count as a divorce?

Can I get half of the family property in a divorce?

Skadi: "......"

I always feel like I'm being subjected to unwarranted malice.

"such a pity!"

Just as Orange was letting her thoughts wander, Lu Ming suddenly touched the shiny, cold workshop machine and sighed deeply.

In the direction his gaze fell, there were still some places where many alchemy machines should have been placed, but now they were completely empty.

Some of them are left with some dark crystals and residues, or some highly carbonized debris, which can be easily blown away into powdery dust.

Those machines are now permanently scrapped.

"Yes, it is a real pity, because the previous battle permanently destroyed a considerable portion of them. Otherwise, Odin's production capacity for weapons could have been increased by at least seven or eight times."

Following Lu Ming's gaze, Chengzi instantly understood his intentions.

But such a request is perhaps a bit too much to ask.

In her opinion, Lu Ming's ability to seize the opportunity to damage the Great Temple and break Odin's support forces while successfully repelling the enemy was already a remarkable achievement.

If these things aren't destroyed in time, allowing Odin to catch his breath and recover, the battle will only become more difficult. Even if Odin still decides to flee, He can easily sense this intention and destroy Valhalla in the process, preventing Lu Ming from seizing the opportunity.

Isn't it good to be content with the status quo?

"No!"

Lu Ming seemed lost in thought, his face filled with melancholy and pain.

"It was my fault that I failed to reclaim this treasure trove from Odin in time!"

Orange & Skadi: "..."

To take back?

This originally belonged to someone else; how can it be called taking it back?

"That's right, it's about taking it back!"

"These treasures, wealth, and technologies that are in the hands of Odin and his group should not be held by them indefinitely, but should belong to us!"

"Doing this is actually getting to the bottom of things, helping to restore the true history and reveal the truths that have been largely covered up!"

"To reclaim our lost history, we must not only look back at those hidden records, but also reclaim these bloody pieces of evidence!"

It should be noted that Lu Ming had just finished writing the first draft of "The True History of the Dragon Clan" yesterday.

My mind is still filled with images of Odin, the Holy Palace Medical Society, and various other dark underground organizations that, throughout history, have extended their clutches to countries around the world, expanding their influence and cultivating vassals... and other such sensational content.

Unfortunately, he still knew too little about the dark side of this dragon world.

His knowledge of all kinds of things, as well as his observations and records, is superficial; at most, he can only extract some information from the novel's settings based on his impressions.

But what does this amount to?

The setting in the original novel is far less than the tip of the iceberg compared to the vast and boundless real world!

For example, in The Dragon King 1, Jormungandr says that Odin has been active in the human world for thousands of years, but the novel does not record the specific places where he has caused his influence.

For example, Odin must have colluded with some humans over thousands of years, and established organizations under various identities... but in the novel so far, only the Holy Palace Medical Society has been revealed.

What other organizations can be unearthed by tracing back in history to the Holy Palace Medical Society, this Odin organization?
