Chapter 527 My Daughter Ran Away with the Yellow-Haired Man
In the castle built along the mountain, the mountain giant Wang Xiaji sat on a throne covered with gems.
He has the standard yellow-brown skin of a mountain giant, his muscles are as tangled as a dragon, his height is controlled to about three meters, and his body is strong but not bloated. From a distance, he gives people a mountain-like oppression and time-cleaning. Deep.
Although the rocks are not as aggressive as wind and snow, they can withstand the erosion of time.
Similarly, the mountain giant king Shaki is not the most powerful in Yotonheim, nor is he the most famous. He is often overwhelmed by the Frost Giant King, but he is more than the Frost Giant King. Longer.
Because this is a rare giant who has drunk the spring water of wisdom, understood the runes of the Lun, and knew how to use his mind.
At this moment, when he saw his daughter Scarty breaking into the palace with great momentum, he was not angry but happy:
"What, you figured it out?"
Scarty snorted coldly and asked, "Did you send giants to attack my village?"
Without hearing the answer he wanted, Shaki shook his head in disappointment and replied casually:
"I don't know what you are talking about, either giant or giant. Since the Asa gods made a big fuss here, the hustle and bustle are in chaos. Solem's men have run away from their control and flee everywhere, everywhere Hu Lai, not only the village you ruled, but also many of my people were attacked."
Hearing this high-sounding reason, Scarty gritted her teeth and said:
"Then when are you going to restore order?"
"Restore order? You are too arrogant to me, right?"
Xia Ji spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"I am now under the pressure of the Asa Gods, and I am fighting against the Frost Giant King Rafi. No matter which side of them attacks me, I will probably end up with Solem. At this time, I can't protect myself. Still have time to care about the life and death of outsiders?”
Hearing these sincere complaints, Scarty fell into silence.
Seeing this, Shaki took the opportunity to speak:
"Skati, my daughter. Last time you went to the Dwarf Kingdom to pacify the Dragon Disaster, you should have seen the faces of the Asgardians. They are now at their peak, squeezing the living space of our giants all the time. In the past, Sorei M is still alive, and he and I joined forces to barely control [The Noisy Land] and seek a place to sleep for the entire mountain giant clan. Now Solem is killed by Thor, [The Noisy Land] is in chaos, we The power of the country is at a low point. If outsiders attack us, we will be in danger."
"So, you just want to give me to the frost giant king Laufei, or the Warner god king Niyode?" Scarty asked back.
"There is no way to do this. If you want to live safely, we must join us to keep warm." Xia Qi replied calmly, then looked at his daughter sincerely, "You should have heard of Raffi and Niyode. As long as you are willing to marry, they will never treat you badly. At that time, the entire mountain giant will be grateful for your efforts."
Scarty listened, a hint of hesitation gradually appeared on her face.
Sure enough, she was still as soft as before and not hard.
Seeing his daughter shaken, Shaki immediately added fire:
"Even if you don't think about me and my tribe, you should think of those outsiders who were taken in by you. If the order of [The Noisy Land] is completely out of control, how can those poor people survive in this chaotic place? With your constraints, things like today are probably the norm.”
Faced with his father's repeated persuasion and this indisputable fact, Scarty's shaken became increasingly obvious.
But just as she wanted to speak, a faint voice came from outside the corridor:
"External? So you know which village was attacked by the giants today?"
As the words came to my ears, Scarty suddenly realized, raised her head suddenly, and looked vigilantly at her father on the throne.
Almost cheated by him!
I have never said which village was attacked? Why is he so sure that the attack is related to the settlement of outsiders?
Obviously, most of his father was involved and wanted to use this to force him to submit.
So, after all, being so righteous, isn’t you thinking about sacrificing her daughter and keeping her throne?
At this moment, Sha Ji also realized his mistake and looked at the atrium human being walking from the shadow outside the door with a gloomy face:
"What are you? You dare to interrupt the conversation between us father and daughter!"
The mountain-like pressure surged forward, as if he was about to crush Luo En who had entered the door into a meat paste.
The speculation was confirmed, and Scarty showed deep disappointment in her father Shaki in her eyes, and she took a decisive step forward, blocking Lorne.
With the power of ice and snow in her body activated, she took over the power pressure from her father Shaki and snorted coldly:
"He is my chosen husband, so of course he is qualified to speak for me!"
"If you don't choose a good king, you want to marry a mere atrium? You're simply crazy!"
Shaki was furious and stretched out his right hand with a vaginal face.
"It must be this little bastard who gave you some ecstasy soup. I'll take him down and let you wake up!"
A giant hand made of soil broke through the floor and grabbed Lorne.
Scarty took out the Cenmu magic wand from the magic circle without hesitation, quickly condensed the water vapor in the air, and used ice to transform the wall to block the huge blow.
In order to make his father Shaki give up targeting Lorne, Scarty simply said bluntly:
"Give up, even without him, I wouldn't marry Lauphy and Neyod as you said!"
Seeing his daughter so rebellious, Shaki simply tore off the mask of a loving father and snorted:
"You have no say in this!"
Then, Shaki raised his right hand and clenched it tightly. Two giant rock palms rose from the ground and grabbed Skadi and Lorne respectively.
According to his understanding of his daughter, the more you emphasize not caring about something, the more you care about it.
Skadi repeatedly stood in front of this man and even attacked him as a father, which was enough to prove that this man was very important in Skadi's mind.
If this adulterer could be captured, and with the outsider in the village as a bargaining chip, Skadi would have to marry him even if she was unwilling.
Thinking of this, Shaki cruelly increased the strength in his hand, and pushed the power of the mountains and the earth to the extreme.
Skadi quickly waved the cinnamon wood wand in his hand, and also used all his strength to awaken the ice and snow power in his body to confront.
For a moment, the ice and the gravel collided with each other, and the floor was lifted up layer by layer, revealing a huge gray rock with runes engraved on it.
To be more precise, it was a natural altar, connected to the surrounding ground veins, and carrying the power of faith accumulated by the mountain giants over a long period of time.
This was originally a self-protection method that Shaki used to guard against foreign enemies and reserved for himself in advance.
Unexpectedly, before the enemy came to the door, he used it on his daughter first.
Shaki raised his hand slightly, and the runes were peeled off from the altar one by one, turning into the phantoms of the peaks, pressing towards the two people in the center.
In terms of strength, Skadi was inferior to his father.
What's more, Shaki now has a hand hidden in the basement of the palace, turning the entire palace into a secret temple suitable for his mountain power. With all these unfavorable factors, Skadi was completely at a disadvantage. The wind and snow barrier in front of her shattered, and her figure was swallowed up by the land that closed in around her.
"Reflect on yourself inside first. When you figure it out, I will let you out."
Shaki snorted coldly and lowered his right hand with satisfaction.
However, the next moment.
A blazing sword light penetrated the stone that was closed like a flower bud and shot towards the throne at lightning speed.
Wherever the sword light passed, the magic factors were active and boiling, emitting colorful aurora; the air seemed to be ignited, forming a strange red.
Shaki was startled, and quickly clenched his right fist, pierced his nails into his palm, and then swung his arm forward.
The golden blood flew from Shaki's fingers and fell on the gray rock altar on the ground. The shadows of mountains rose from the ground and stretched in front of the throne.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Accompanied by bursts of piercing explosions, the sword light shattered the phantoms of seventeen mountains in a row, and then it collapsed after exhausting its strength.
At the same time, the seventeen mountains outside the palace seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, and they collapsed with a loud bang, and the whole noisy place shook violently.
That was close!
Shaki looked at the seventeen mountaintops that were smashed by a sword in the distance, and felt a little scared.
I thought Skadi was crazy and just fell in love with a useless little white face in the atrium. I didn't expect that the other party actually had the strength that was not weaker than the main god.
However, even if the other party had some ability, he would not easily change his decision.
This was just the weight of a mere person, while Laufey and Njord represented the two major races of Vanir and Frost Giants.
It goes without saying which one was more important.
Shaki's eyes turned cold, and he tried to suppress the terrible sword light with the help of the surrounding mountains and the power of the earth.
"Crack~~"
However, with a crisp sound, the gray bedrock on the ground, along with the entire palace, was split into two, revealing a neat line of sky in the center.
That sword not only shattered the veins of the seventeen peaks, but also split the entire temple and altar.
Feeling that the power of the earth and mountains that he could control was declining rapidly, Xia Ji was shocked.
At the same time, a scorching crimson flame wave completely shattered the closed mountain barrier, carrying dense rubble and heading straight for Xia Ji on the throne.
Xia Ji's hair stood on end, and he instinctively opened the magic array diagram, wanting to take out the magic wand in it and build a defensive barrier to fight the enemy.
However, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and dozens of purple-white ice crystals shot in, shattering the magic array diagram that Xia Ji had just formed.
Then, the crimson flame wave fell to the ground, and a large sword wrapped in flames was placed on Xia Ji's neck.
The high temperature on the blade left charred marks on the skin of the mountain giant king, making him frown in pain.
Realizing that this was a divine weapon that could hurt the divine body, Shaki did not dare to act rashly, and could only look at his good daughter who had just attacked him:
"Well, Skadi! I didn't expect you to join forces with outsiders to deal with your father! For so many years, I have raised you in vain!"
"You were the first to attack, I was just defending myself."
Skadi replied indifferently, and then snorted coldly and added,
"It is true that you have raised me, but for so many years, I have fought for territory for you, put down rebellions, and eliminated competitors among the mountain giants. What I should have paid back should have been paid back long ago. You want to use this reason to force me to do something I don't want to do. Don't you think it's too much?"
Hearing this faint question, Shaki was speechless.
Skadi was silent for a moment, and said coldly:
"Tonight's events are over, and I will pretend that nothing has happened. As a member of the mountain giants, I will continue to maintain the quietness of the noisy land as usual, and fight for the survival of the entire mountain giant tribe until the last moment. But other than that, I will not do anything for you, and you don't have to look for me again."
As Skadi cast a pleading look, Lorne understood and removed the flaming sword on Shaki's neck, followed Skadi's footsteps, and walked out of the palace together.
"Wait!" Shaki stood up and shouted.
Skadi continued to move forward without any intention of stopping.
Seeing this, Shaki gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Don't you want to know who your mother is?"
Skadi paused, finally stopped, looked back at her father Shaki, and said seriously:
"I will not marry Laufey and Njord."
"Don't worry, I won't force you."
Shaki nodded in agreement, and then put forward a condition with a gloomy face,
"Last time the dragon disaster, the dwarves seemed to have an unexpected harvest in the dragon's nest - [Heart of the Mountains] Arkenstone, which seems to be a divine crystallization of the power of the earth and mountains, very precious and rare. Bring this thing and give it to me. In this way, my mountains and land can be further improved. At that time, even if I can't compete with guys like Laufey, Thor, and Odin, at least I can protect myself."
"What after bringing it?" Lorne took the initiative to ask for Skadi, so that the goddess of winter would not be shaken by similar bitter dramas again.
Shaki glared at the pretty boy who seduced his daughter, and snorted:
"I will tell you everything about Skadi's origin and her mother."
Skadi thought for a moment, and nodded slowly:
"Okay, I agree. But this is the last time I will help you!"
After that, Skadi summoned the chariot, pulled Lorne onto the chariot, and drove into the vast night without looking back.
Looking at his daughter who was leaving in the night, thinking that she had never called him father since she entered the palace, Shaki bent down and sat back on the half-collapsed throne, looking at the broken and empty hall, feeling lost.
But the melancholy only lasted for a moment, and the mountain giant king straightened his body again, and pressed his hands firmly on the armrests on both sides of the throne, like a dragon guarding a treasure.
It doesn't matter, as long as that thing is in hand, this loss is nothing.
Anyway, she is not my biological child.
Shaki muttered to himself, reaffirming his faith, and at the same time, his eyes flickered, thinking about how to use the existing chips to make every move next.
~~
At the same time, in the wilderness.
"Aren't you Shaki's biological daughter?"
Lorne was surprised when he heard Skadi's active revelation.
Skadi said unhappily:
"Is it strange? He controls the power of mountains and the earth, but I have the talent to control ice and snow; he is a standard mountain giant, but I have purple hair and white skin. I don't look like him at all."
"That's right." Lorne nodded, and suddenly realized, "So, he never mentioned your mother to you."
Thinking carefully, Skadi's origin is also full of mystery, and there seems to be no information about her mother in Norse mythology.
And such a goddess who is good at fighting and can make all the gods of Asgard give in and make peace with her after the death of her father Shaki, she should not have such a vague origin.
Unless, she has other unknown secrets.
"Let's separate here. You go back to the village first. I'm going to Turin City and try to get that thing." Skadi clenched her fists, and a firm look appeared in her eyes. She said, "It's rare to have a clue. I must seize this opportunity."
Obviously, Skadi is determined to use this opportunity to trace her life experience, even if it means making enemies with the dwarves.
"Let me go." Lorne took the initiative to speak.
Skadi shook her head and declined politely: "I have troubled you many times. There is no need to involve you again."
"There is no involvement or non-involvement. It's just that if I go, the probability of success is higher." Lorne paused and added, "Remember the last dragon disaster? Thanks to you and Angerboda giving the credit of slaying the dragon to our courtyard, the dwarves still owe me a favor. If the so-called [Heart of the Mountains] really exists, it's just right to exchange it with this condition."
The content of this statement is half true and half false.
It is true that the dwarves owe him a favor, but it is not because of the dragon slaying, but because he rescued the dwarf prince from the underworld.
Anyway, he has no plans for the dwarves, so it is better to do a favor and ask for the Arkenstone and give it to Skadi. In order to avoid a fight between the two sides to snatch this thing.
At this moment, hearing Loen's suggestion, Skadi was skeptical:
"Are you sure they will agree?"
"Let me try to see if it works first, and then you can make a decision."
This is very reasonable. Skadi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
"I can't help you for nothing. While I'm in the dwarf country, I hope you can contact Angerboda as soon as possible to determine the whereabouts of the three sisters."
"No problem!"
Skadi nodded happily, and the guilt in her heart was relieved a lot.
Mutual benefit is a healthy way for friends to get along.
After reaching a simple consensus, Loen waved his hand, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the dark night.
