The next day, Odin did not notify anyone, nor did he ride on his eight-legged horse. Instead, he quietly followed the Rainbow Bridge and the thick roots of the World Tree to the base of the World Tree.
At Wuda Spring.
Next to this beautiful lake, the green grass is refreshing. In normal times, the gods often rest, gather, and drink here, and the three goddesses of destiny will also welcome the arrival of the gods here. But this time, this time they come
There is only one Odin.
However, in Odin's sight, the three sisters of destiny have been standing on the grass waiting for a long time, but Odin does not find it strange.
The three sisters of destiny can compile the fate of all mortals and know the fate of all gods. Naturally, they can know Odin's secret visit.
"God King Odin salutes you."
The oldest one, Urd, took a step forward. She was pretty and graceful. Compared to the other two sisters, she was more calm and majestic. As she spoke, she leaned slightly towards Odin.
pay tribute.
Although her tone was respectful, there was no sign of awe on her face. The three sisters of destiny do not essentially belong to the gods, nor are they colleagues of the gods, but the weavers of destiny and the supreme judge. The world calls them "
Norn".
Norn, also known as Vala, or female prophets, these female prophets often know the past and future, and have the power to discern destiny. The three sisters of destiny are the gods among Norn, because they can not only discern
Destiny can better prepare destiny.
Even the gods must obey the fateful judgments they made. The honorific title given to Odin is just out of respect for him as the god king who dominates the nine worlds. Naturally, there is no fear.
Odin didn't care much about this, but asked.
"Is Mimir here?"
"Father has been waiting for a long time."
Urd replied calmly. After saying that, she bowed and retreated, and her body disappeared into the air together with the other two goddesses. And behind them, a non-existent path hidden in the bushes was revealed.
secluded paths.
Odin walked forward along this quiet path. After a while, his eyes suddenly opened up, revealing a clear spring, and an old man with white hair and beard, leaning against the spring and taking a nap.
"Mimir."
Looking at him, Odin frowned and then shouted.
According to rumors, there is a spring of wisdom at the root of the World Tree. Gods, giants, dwarves, and elves who drink the spring water can become full of wisdom. However, there is an old giant Mimir who protects it.
Follow this spring water and prevent others from drinking the wisdom in this spring water.
Only God King Odin, after meeting him, was able to drink a mouthful of wisdom spring water at the cost of his right eye, thus gaining supreme wisdom and being able to know what happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future.
What happened, and therefore was regarded as a wise man.
The old man who seemed to have fallen asleep woke up quietly after a while, and slowly opened his eyes. There was a strong twilight in his deep pupils, as if he was indifferent to everything happening in the world.
"Ah, Odin, you are finally here."
He looked at Odin in front of him, and while speaking in a calm tone, he waved casually, gesturing for Odin to sit down, as if he was not facing a powerful god-king, but a human being.
An old friend of many years is as calm as ever.
Odin sat by the spring and said nothing. The long-term tacit understanding allowed him to know how to get along with this old man.
Mimir's cloudy eyes seemed to be open and closed, as if he had no strength, which made people almost doubt that he would fall asleep in the next moment.
"I know what you want to ask...Loki is very dissatisfied. He regards you as a brother."
After being silent for a long time, he spoke slowly in an old voice.
Odin was silent, then spoke solemnly.
"I also regard him as a brother."
"But you imprisoned his two children."
Mimir shook his head and said.
"You know, Loki attaches great importance to relationships, respects his brothers, and cares about the children he loves. He doesn't want to see this situation, so he can only choose to escape."
Odin opened his mouth and tried to refute something, but he hesitated for a long time, but still gave up, with a bit of disappointment on his face.
Mimir stared at him, his turbid pupils were extremely deep, as if he could see everything in the heart of the god king in front of him, he said slowly.
"You are afraid, Odin..."
His tone was unusually certain.
God King Odin can actually be afraid?
If other people knew this, they would probably laugh out loud, but only Odin himself knows... what Mimir said is true.
"You were afraid of Regaruk's arrival. You had a premonition that Loki's three children would become a scourge to the entire universe, so you expelled them first and tried to prevent Regaruk's arrival, but Loki
And because of this I am dissatisfied with you... You feel very uncomfortable about this, but you have to harden your heart and be ruthless."
"You hang yourself upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, use the World Tree as a horse, ride on the entire universe, sacrifice yourself to yourself, and then you can get a glimpse of the runes with infinite magic power.
I hope to use the power of the nearly omnipotent runes to save the world."
"You gathered those brave warriors who died and gathered them in Valhalla, the Hall of Heroes, to hone their martial arts day and night. For tens of thousands of years, you gathered a huge army composed of fifty million heroic spirits.
, just because you tried to resist the arrival of Regaruk."
"For these tens of thousands of years, you have been silent and worried day and night, guarding this secret but not daring to tell it..."
Mimir's words rang in Odin's ears. No fluctuations could be seen on his always silent face, but only the slightly trembling fingers seemed to be saying something silently.
Looking at the one-eyed king in front of him, he said.
"Tell me, Odin, what are you thinking about."
After a long time, Odin spoke quietly.
"I... can see, see the scene when Regaruk arrives..."
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"A fire, an indescribable fire is burning the entire universe, the sky, the land, the ocean... everything is burning, and the World Tree that supports the nine worlds is also decaying. Gods and giants will all die. Thousands of gods will die.
Everything we have worked hard to build over the years will be burned in this fire."
"When I knew about Loki's three children, I had a premonition that they would become a scourge to the entire universe. I wanted to destroy them before they were fully fledged, but in the end I hesitated and just expelled them.
I went out, but the giant snake and the wolf became more and more ferocious day by day, so I had to imprison them..."
"I tried to stop Regaruk, but my actions seemed to promote Regaruk's arrival..."
As he said this, the God King's eyes showed a bit of sadness.
He turned his head and looked at the wise giant Mimir in front of him. His single eye was filled with unprecedented solemnity and solemnity. His tone was low and he spoke word by word.
