117: The Queen on the Cold Throne

Facing Balder in front of her, Brunhilde couldn't call her sister, even though she really wanted to call her sister in her heart. But now she felt that she didn't have the qualifications to do so.

On the way back, Brunhilde was worried and even a little afraid of meeting her sisters and brothers in Asgard.

Therefore, facing the tenderness shown by Rigg, Tyr, and now Balder, Brunhilde really couldn't suppress her emotions and cried softly in Balder's arms.

Slud came to the side of Hildreda and looked at Brunhilde, who was sobbing softly in Balder's arms. After looking at Hildreda, a faint smile appeared on his face.

After a while, Balder gently wiped away the tears on Brunhilde's face and called for his servant... No, after a brief hesitation, Balder personally took Brunhilde back to the room and changed her into a decent dress.

Srude and Hirude stood by, braiding her beautiful long hair that fell to the ground.

After completing these tasks and having Brunhilde sit next to Hodel, Balder finally had some free time. He asked Slude, who had put down the comb, "Slude, where is that troublemaker? Why can't I see him?"

Upon hearing this, Slud's body stiffened, and his expression became awkward. He didn't dare to look at Balder, who was looking at him with doubt.

"As for Lord Kevin, he is still in Midgard."

Then, without waiting for Slud, whose body was slightly stiff, to reply, Brunhildr, gently holding Hodel's hand, replied softly to Balder.

"Midgard?"

Balder was stunned upon hearing this, widening his eyes and tilting his head to gaze at Slude. After seeing Slude nod cautiously in acknowledgment, Balder felt a black screen appear in front of his eyes.

"Slude, you... you actually dared to leave him alone in Midgard! Now that you are not by his side, he is completely lawless!"

Slude lowered his head and looked at the furious Balder. After she finished speaking, he replied carefully, "Well, Lord Balder, Kevin said that he just wanted to find Siegfried..."

"When he went down with you this time, he swore to me that he was only going to see Sister Brunhilde!" Balder rolled his eyes. "Could you explain the significance of receiving the Rhine's blessing?"

Do you know how big a fuss the Rhine Blessing incident was?

If this news gets out, no matter if they are giants, elves, or dwarves, all creatures in the nine realms will want to capture him!"

Upon hearing this, Slude was dumbfounded. To be honest, she really didn't know about these things.

Even Brunhilde, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard this.

"You... you— what can I say about you?" Balder couldn't help but step forward, stand on tiptoe, and gently tap Slude's head twice, saying, "Others don't know that troublemaker, but you don't know him well? Can you believe what he says?"

"But, but...!" Slude was also anxious.

Seeing the anxious Slude, Brunhilde could not help but stand up and said to Balder, "Lord Balder, this matter is not the fault of Sister Slude. It is mainly because of me. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Hodel, who was relatively calm, listened to their conversation and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Slud wanted you to keep Kevin here? Was it his idea...? Are you worried about our gaze?"

After hearing this, Balder, who was stunned for a moment, finally understood.

"Is Kevin afraid that something might happen to his sister on the way back?" Pointing at Brunhilde, Balder asked Slude. After Slude nodded, she slapped her hand on her forehead.

"Slude, don't tell me that you left Kevin in Midgard because you thought we were watching you all the time!"

Hearing what Balder said, Slude nodded subconsciously. She was indeed relieved because of this.

"This..." Hodel could only smile bitterly: "It seems that we can only pray that the child behaves well these days..."

Hearing this, Slude naturally knew what had happened and that an accident had occurred.

So she felt a lump in her heart, and her eyes met Balder's.

Balder sighed in silence and replied, "When you were about to go see Sister Brunhilde, my father had already ordered all of us not to spy on you..."

Hearing this, Slude blinked in confusion.

Putting this information together a little bit... In short, even if Bader and the others haven't been paying attention to Kevin during this period.

And when Slud left, he left him outside the closed castle of Brunhilde.

Therefore, even if Kevin really wanted to find Siegfried, no one would show him the way.

...It's over!

Slude's expression darkened, just like Balder's, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"No!"

Having said that, Slude turned around and wanted to leave the Palace of Light: "I will go and take him back now..."

Halfway through his walk, before he could finish his anxious words, Slude seemed to sense something. His body instantly stiffened, and his eyes slowly widened, revealing an incredible expression.

Then, under the puzzled gaze of Balder and the others, Slud raised the hand with the red rope in panic, closed his eyes, and felt it carefully for a while—his face gradually turned pale.

"What...what happened?"

Seeing this, Balder couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Slude slowly tilted his head and said to Balder with an expression that looked like he was about to cry, "Lord Balder, just now, just now... the connection between Kevin and me suddenly, no, disappeared!"

After he finished speaking, there was silence for several seconds. Then Bader smiled stiffly and said to Slude, "Slude, please say it again; I didn't hear it clearly just now..."

"Gone, really!" Slud said, raising the red rope in his hand to Balder, "Gone, just now suddenly, I couldn't feel him!

Lord Balder, do you think Kevin is... is he...?"

Loki, the best spellcaster in the Aesir, cast this spell for one of Asgard's twelve main gods. Therefore, it was impossible for Slud to think that someone had cut off the connection for a moment.

Her first reaction was that something had happened to Kevin!

Then everyone's reactions are naturally similar.

"Wait, calm down... You guys calm down too!"

When Balder saw that even Hodel had stood up, and under the violent emotional fluctuations, power ran wild, and darkness began to devour the surroundings, he was shocked and hurriedly spoke up to ask them to calm down.

"Calm down, don't panic, don't be afraid. I still have protection for Neil. Let me have a closer look at her. Before he could finish his words, Balder, who was about to connect his sight with Neil, was stunned.

She found herself unable to connect.

...

...

The story takes place in the bottomless deep sea, in the dark sea, in the home of Jörmungandr.

Jörmungandr's body is mainly black, mixed with some blue to outline a wonderful magical mark, and he is swimming freely in it.

More and more, Jörmungandr felt uncomfortable thinking about what happened just now, when he wanted to fight Thor, the God of Thunder, but Kevin and Loki yelled at him and forced him to leave.

As the saying goes, if you endure for a moment, you will get angrier; if you step back, you will feel more at a loss. Now, Jörmungandr has a strong desire to flee, unleash his magic power whenever he feels like it, draw the attention of Thor, engage in a battle with him, and express his emotions.

However, when he considered the presence of Loki and the possibility of Kevin following him, he realized that if he ventured out to cause trouble, he would likely face consequences. Thinking about it, Jörmungandr could only lower his head in frustration.

Although he had only met Kevin once, it was obvious that Jörmungandr had already recognized him as a friend of his brother.

However, it was uncomfortable to keep it in his heart, so after struggling around at home for a long time, Jörmungandr finally made a decision.

He turned around and flowed toward the deeper part of the bottomless sea. He was very cautious during the process and even made his body smaller several times, swimming in a certain direction as little as possible to cause any noise.

After several days, Jörmungandr, who was getting farther and farther away from Midgard, swam out carefully from the bottomless sea and entered the river on the other side.

The river is called Gioir, and Jörmungandr here left the scope of Midgard and came to Niflheim, a place that was cold all day long, covered with snow and fog, and had no sunlight all year round.

Flowing in the cold sea, as time goes by, and as it gets closer to the center, the river water becomes colder and colder. And this coldness is not ordinary coldness but a coldness that seems to corrode the soul!

Therefore, even Jörmungandr couldn't help but shudder.

But it did not give up, and this was not the first time it came here. Jörmungandr knew that somewhere ahead, there was a place that belonged to it. As long as it went there, it would no longer have to be afraid of the cold that pierced its soul!

So it swam forward with all its might, and after several days, Jörmungandr finally entered an extremely special area of ​​Niflheim.

You can also refer to Helheim as Helheim.

Yes, Hela, Loki's only daughter, rules the underworld, a place only the dead can enter.

When Jörmungandr arrived here and found the way, he immediately swam into the pure white river water, which was different in color from the surrounding rivers and was permanently fixed there.

After entering, the coldness brought by the Styx that Jörmungandr felt instantly disappeared without a trace, and he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan.

After barely holding it in, Jörmungandr emerged from the pure white river water, looked up at somewhere shrouded in darkness ahead, took a deep breath, and called out loudly.

The Lord of the Underworld is calling out the name of his sister.

Jörmungandr's call revealed the lonely queen sitting on a high throne in the perpetually dark castle of the underworld. She was wearing a gorgeous black dress, and her long, pure white hair fell behind her.

He slowly opened those red eyes without any emotion.
