Lu Xiao didn't know what Chinese mythology looked like in the eyes of gods from other systems. Kratos wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk, so there was no way of knowing what was going on in his mind.

Kui Ye, who hacked all over Mount Olympus, has always adhered to a principle that he would never waste time using his words if he could solve things with his hands.

The goal of Kratos and Atreus was to go to the highest mountain in the Nine Realms, and they thought the mountain across the bridge was their goal.

In fact, this answer is wrong. The highest mountain in the Nine Realms is not in Midgard, the atrium world where humans live, but in Jotunheim, the country of giants.

Lu Xiao wanted to exchange some information with Kui Ye, but Kratos, who had just experienced a stranger attack, was very wary of people he didn't know.

After silently purchasing supplies and maintaining weapons, Kratos left the temple with the reluctant Atreus without saying a word, and headed towards the snow-capped mountains along the bridge.

Compared with his taciturn father, Atreus likes to communicate with others. At this age, he is at his most curious.

If Kratos hadn't warned him to avoid communicating with outsiders as much as possible, this kid would have been chatting with Lu Xiao and others until dark.

After obtaining the key to activate the teleportation device from Brock, Lu Xiao entered the national teleportation room accompanied by Brock, and the dwarf blacksmith began to perform his after-sales service.

When I first entered the Kingdom Teleportation Room, the surroundings were completely dark, and there was almost no light visible in the large hall.

The scenery in the empty teleportation room is very strange. There is an independent suspended platform in the center of the hall, connected to the main structure of the teleportation room through thick tree roots.

There is a strange fungus growing on the roots of these trees. They emit a faint blue light and are the only illumination that can be seen in the hall of ignorance.

A peculiar device is placed in the center of an independent platform, and the entire device is wrapped in a hollow tree.

Brock led a group of people to the device on the central platform, which looked like a pool of water with a faint blue glow.

"Put the damn key in here."

"Boom!"

Brock roughly took the key from Lu Xiao's hand and stabbed it hard into the slot in front of the device.

"Buzz!"

With the key inserted, the kingdom teleportation room that had not been activated for a long time finally resumed operation. The central water pool began to glow with light blue magic light and shadow. Lu Xiao could feel that the concentration of magic power in the kingdom teleportation room was rising rapidly.

"This is the Rainbow Bridge Stone. It must be used to activate the realm teleportation device."

Brock touched his nose proudly: "There are only two people in the Nine Realms who can create this kind of special key. You have found the right person."

As Brock explained, a miniature statue slowly rose from below the pool, with realistic kingdom towers on all sides of the statue.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen roughly understood the operating rules of this transmission system.

"If I want to go to a certain country, I have to point the bridge in front of the statue to a specific country tower?"

"That's right."

Brock immediately started to spin the wheel, demonstrating how to adjust the bridge to the other country's tower.

However, Brock's confident movements did not bring any feedback, and the bridge that was supposed to follow the transmission of this system showed no response.

"Damn! There must be something wrong somewhere."

Brock scratched his head in distress: "You guys wait here, I'll check the structure of the bridge."

Watching Brock leave with short legs, Lu Xiao, Yongzhen and Tamamozamae looked up at the top of the hall.

With the insertion of the Rainbow Bridge Stone, the country's transmission system gradually revived from its slumber, and a huge flow of magic power gathered from all branches of the big tree.

Soft lights of different colors flash in synchrony around the hall, and the corresponding iconic image can be seen behind each light.

Yongzhen observed the scene around the surrounding platform: "I guess these stones suspended in mid-air are the teleportation runestones representing various countries, right?"

"Why are the tops of some runestone slots empty?"

All Tamazomae's thoughts pointed to the simulated water pool in the center: "Here too, if the statue in the center is regarded as the atrium world of Midgard, there should be 8 kingdom towers around it. Why are there actually only 7?"

Lu Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and he retrieved some vague impressions from his long-standing memory.

"The missing kingdom tower belongs to Jotunheim. It is said that the giants took the initiative to hide the kingdom tower in order to prevent Odin, who coveted the giants' ability to predict, from invading their hometown."

"The teleportation runestones around... must be Odin's fault."

"Compare it carefully to see if what is missing is the runestones of Asgard and Vanaheim."

"Hmm..." Yongzhen observed and compared, frowned and said to Lu Xiao: "It seems that there are not only two missing, but four."

"oh?"

Lu Xiao left the console and walked to Yongzhen, following her guidance and looking around.

Just like what Yongzhen said, in addition to the runestones representing Asgard and Vanaheim being drawn away, there are also two other kingdoms with runestones hanging above the slots.

When Lu Xiao was studying runes at Karma Taj, she studied the Norse mythology of the origins of runes for a period of time.

The three missing runestones represent Jotunheim, Vat Alheim, Vanaheim and Asgard respectively.

It is not difficult for Jotunheim to explain that in order to prevent the clever Odin from playing tricks, the giants not only hid the kingdom tower when they cut off contact with other worlds, but also took the teleportation runestones away with them.

But Watt Alheim…

‘That seems to be the hometown of the dwarves, right? Why did Odin take away the teleportation runestone leading to Wat Alheim?’

With nothing to do until Brock comes back, Tamamozae asks Lu Xiao, who understands the background of Nordic mythology, about the situation in other countries.

If Lu Xiao remembers correctly, the places where fallen Valkyries sleep are scattered across various countries.

In order to absorb the divine power from them, Lu Xiao's team will travel to other countries sooner or later in the future. It is also a good choice to educate Yongzhen and Tamamozen about the conditions in other worlds as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll just give you a rough idea."

"The nine worlds of Nordic mythology all reside in the system of the World Tree. According to my understanding, they should be regarded as nine parallel worlds."

"Needless to say, Midgard in the Atrium world, Asgard in the Asaph realm, and Vanaheim in the Vanir realm. You can probably guess how dangerous these two realms are. We won't go to the Gods unless it's absolutely necessary.

The territory directly provokes them.”

Lu Xiao raised his hand and pointed at one of the fiery red teleportation runestones: "This runestone represents Muspelheim, the kingdom of fire. It is rumored that it is the hometown of the fire giant and is ruled by Surtur, the king of the fire giants."

"Muspelheim maintains unbearable high temperatures all year round. The entire country is filled with volcanoes and magma. It is a place unsuitable for human survival."

"Jotunheim is the country of giants. It is said that giants have the ability to predict things better than the gods. Odin has always been very jealous of this and tried every means to steal the power of giants."

"Niflheim is the realm of fog. There is poisonous mist everywhere in the realm. It is almost impossible to see any life here."

"I mentioned to you before that Helheim is the underworld in Norse mythology. The souls of death will be sucked in here to wait for their fate."

"Alfheim..."

Speaking of this name, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a little headache.

'Is this considered PTSD?'

"Ahem~ In the worldview of God of War 4, Alfheim is the country of elves. Not only the light elves, but the dark elves also live here. They have been fighting for control of the world with the light elves for countless years."
