Chapter 217: Heading to

~7 min read 1,223 words

Except An Yu.

Yu Lin also found a battle plan and some confidential documents inside the church.

He originally wanted to keep it as evidence, but while storing it, he accidentally opened the ladder, accidentally went online, and accidentally posted it online.

By the time he realized, he had already returned to the dormitory.

Facing the call from the top player, he just gave a nonchalant smile and said:

"Whoops, my hand slipped, really slipped, you have to believe me."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"This was my doing alone; I'm willing to take full responsibility. Anyone dissatisfied can come find me for a one-on-one."

After he said that, the top player had nothing more to say; anyway, he was just asking what happened, with no intention of blaming.

Having told Yu Lin to take care of himself, he then hung up the phone.

Yu Lin put down his phone, saw An Yu sitting slumped and defeated in a chair before him, and comforted: "All right, all right, this isn't your fault."

"Francis would be dazed seeing this; it's only natural you got hit."

"Go take a shower, rest, sleep well, and tomorrow I'll take you out to play."

An Yu heard his comfort and lightly nodded: "Mm."

She stood up, walked toward the bathroom, taking off her clothes as she went.

Yu Lin saw this and quickly shouted: "Hey hey, I meant for you to go back to your room to shower, not here."

"All right......"

An Yu left disappointedly.

"Rest well."

Yu Lin watched her leave, closed the door, glanced at the sky outside already faintly whitening, lost the desire to sleep, and decided to go out for breakfast.

But just as he stepped out, he saw Satan and Beelzebub standing suspiciously at the door, looking around like thieves.

Only when they saw Yu Lin arrive did they regain their elegant, proper appearance and smile at him.

"Yu Lin, why did you walk so fast?"

Yu Lin raised an eyebrow and asked: "How did you guys get here?"

"Isn't permission required to come?"

Seeing his doubt, Satan took out a palm-sized plaque made of unknown material:

"See it? It's a pass."

"We've been cooperating a lot lately, so we exchanged some passes."

Yu Lin heard this and grew even more curious: "What are you cooperating on now?"

"Are you trying to blend East and West?"

"Nothing much, just researching some issues." Satan put away the pass, didn't elaborate, and changed the subject:

"Want to go eat something together?"

"Do you remember when we had Xia Guo's breakfast, called something like 'Daming'? It was quite lively."

"You eat what you want, we eat what we want, and he'll foot the bill for everything."

He patted Beelzebub on the shoulder.

Yu Lin was already planning to get breakfast; having two more people didn't matter, so he nodded: "Sure."

"Let's go."

The three left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

A moment later.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, after turning down many men and women who came to flirt,

the three arrived at a breakfast shop with a good reputation.

After Yu Lin ate a soup dumpling, he drew a ghostly flame on the table with his finger and asked:

"Do you recognize this?"

Satan didn't rush to answer, instead shouting to the boss: "Add ten baskets of xiaolongbao and ten baskets of soup dumplings."

"Sure, coming right up."

The boss didn't ask if they could finish it all.

Because Beelzebub already had a row of plates stacked in front of him.

Seeing the boss start preparing, Satan then turned to Yu Lin: "Well..."

"I think it's Loki."

"But I'm not entirely sure; since the Twilight of the Gods happened in Northern Europe, he's been presumed dead."

"That's how it is."

He then picked up another steaming soup dumpling and shoved it straight into his mouth.

This temperature could scald an ordinary person, but to him it's just adding a bit of flavor.

Yu Lin nodded, didn't pursue the question further, and began to enjoy his breakfast.

After finishing one place, they moved to another.

Even after eating and drinking their fill, it couldn't really be said they were full, because these three, once they let loose, could never be satisfied no matter how much they ate.

Morning passed, and when it came to noon,

Yu Lin declined Satan and Beelzebub's invitation to go to Hell, and returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

After lying in the dorm for three days, the three Dragon Grandpas returned.

Each one wore a smile, looking refreshed and spirited, though no one knew what they had been up to.

Yu Lin asked directly:

"What did the three of you go do?"

"Nothing." Dragon Lord opened the Computer while saying, "Just went to arrange a match."

"A few little brats dare to challenge me? I'll beat them until they cry for their fathers and mothers!"

"Then just played there for a few days."

It turned out they went offline to the real world.

Provoking a guy like Dragon Lord, who is both powerful and idle, they are indeed unlucky.

Yu Lin nodded in acknowledgement and lay back down.

"Eh, no, why is it under maintenance?"

"Never mind, switch to another game."

"Alright."

A few months later, in the dormitory.

After Yu Lin and the three Dragon Lords entered the Ding Pattern, he silently whispered a word of entry.

Accompanied by the emergence of WhiteLight, Yu Lin's figure vanished instantly.

【Myth: Thor's Hammer】

【Quest: Help Thor retrieve Thor's Hammer, and successfully deceive Loki once】

【Reward: Trait — Lie】

The core of the Northern Europe mythic cosmology is the World Tree.

It is a massive white wax tree; its branches, roots, and trunk connect and support the entire Universe, divided into nine worlds, the "Nine Realms".

The upper worlds are:

Asgard — the home of the Aesir gods.

Connected to Midgard by the Rainbow Bridge Bifrost.

Vanaheim — the homeland of the Vanir gods.

Alfheim — the world of the Light Elves.

The middle worlds:

Midgard — the world of humans.

Literally "the middle garden", it is surrounded by a vast ocean, within which the earthly giant serpent Yemengjide dwells.

Jotunheim — the realm of giants, a mountainous, desolate, cold world.

Giants are the main enemies of the Gods, yet they often intermarry; for example, Thor's mother is a giant.

Svartalfheim, also called Nidavellir — the underground world of dwarves or Dark Elves.

Musi Beierheim — the Fire Nation.

A world filled with fire, lava, and light.

Ruled by the fire giant Surtur; prophecy says that during the Twilight of the Gods he will wield the Flame Sword to destroy the world.

The lower worlds:

Nifu'er Haimu — the Mist Nation.

A primordial world filled with icy fog, darkness, and cold.

Opposite the Fire Nation Musi Beierheim, the convergence point of the two gave birth to the earliest life.

Mingjie — the realm of the dead.

Ruled by Haila, Loki's daughter.

It receives those who did not die in battle but from illness or old age; it is a dark, dreary place.

At this moment.

Yu Lin then appears in Midgard, within a human town.

His attire clashes with the locals, drawing everyone's gaze.

Ignore those gazes.

He thought to himself:

"First find the Rainbow Bridge, then go to Asgard."
