Chapter 225: Accidentally Killed in Battle

~7 min read 1,235 words

"What are you cooking?"

"Fish soup."

"Let me have a taste."

"You want to eat what you caught yourself."

Yu Lin drank up the fish soup in the bowl and slapped down Luoqi, who was about to fly into the pot.

"Stingy." Luoqi didn't insist, just flew toward the sea and soon caught a few fish.

"Can we now?"

Yu Lin shook his head: "You need to take care of it first."

"...... Fine, I'll handle it, okay?"

"Add some fresh water; didn't you see there's no soup left?"

"Okay, I'll add it."

"And seasoning."

"Alright...... where should I go to get you seasoning?"

"Like this." Yu Lin smiled and raised a finger:

"After you go to Asgard, if you do one thing for me, I'll give you the seasoning."

Hearing that, Luoqi hesitated not at all and immediately said: "Sure."

"What thing?"

"I haven't decided yet; you take it first, and we'll talk after you get to Asgard." Yu Lin handed over several packets of seasoning.

Only seeing the small mask twitch slightly, those seasonings instantly disappeared.

Luoqi, while making the fish soup, said:

"Then take your time thinking, don't rush; when we get to Asgard, I'll help you."

Though he said that, Yu Lin felt his tone was a bit strange.

As if he wanted to run away.

No matter, he can't run.

Yu Lin took out a recliner, lay down, and just gazed at the blue sky and white clouds above, eyes closed, resting.

Until Luoqi suddenly said: "Ares."

"Do you have family?"

Yu Lin narrowed his eyes and softly said: "Which aspect of family? Blood relations?"

"Pretty much."

"I'm an orphan."

"What about non-blood relations? For example, do you have a wife?"

"Then there are plenty."

Yu Lin thought, then raised both hands: "Two hands can't count them all."

"But I don't have a wife."

"...... In that case, I thought you had plenty of wives." Luoqi changed from necklace form back to human form, though still wearing the mask.

He looked at the fish soup slowly boiling in the pot and said: "I have a wife, but I don't love her."

"I married her only for some...... well, nothing to say."

Yu Lin: "........... Then what are you asking?"

"Just for fun."

"Then I'll also tell you something." Yu Lin opened his eyes and slowly said:

"Long ago, the Loki you were supposed to replace came to Asgard, he met many Asgardian gods, but he wasn't satisfied."

"Because he hadn't seen the object of his worship, he wanted a lifelong companion, someone he adored."

"Do you know who it is?"

Luoqi's face showed strong curiosity: "What?"

Yu Lin raised his hand and swept, and instantly a picture appeared in the air before him.

"............" Luoqi looked, tugged at the corner of his mouth: "How could it be Thor?"

"Who told you that?"

Yu Lin gave a slight smile: "Since you asked, I'll tell you..........."

"........... Go ahead and say it."

"..........."

Yu Lin closed his eyes, and snoring sounds came.

This made Luoqi anxiously scratch his ears and cheeks, secretly thinking this guy is really petty.

Also, who exactly spread this rumor?

Luoqi took a deep breath, lifted a bowl of fish soup and drank it.

Forget it, forget it, we'll talk later.

Until he was full and had drunk his fill, he turned back into a mask pendant.

This voyage lasted a total of four days before reaching the island to be conquered.

It's not large in area, and left no name in history.

I suppose this is a trivial entry in Harald's achievements.

Harald stood at the bow, his sharp gaze scanning the island ahead.

The town on the island was built against the mountain, the wall about three meters high, with sharp wooden stakes bristling on top.

Figures moved on the city wall, archers stood ready, obviously having been warned in advance of their arrival.

"Not worth a single strike." Harald snorted coldly, drawing the sword at his waist.

The sword tip pointed straight at the town, his voice like thunder:

"Attack! Attack!"

"Attack!!!"

At the threefold command, the attack's horn shook the heavens.

The warriors let out wild howls, surging toward the town like a tide.

"You lot, kill!" a middle-aged captain with a fish hook on his left hand and a long sword bound to his right hand roared:

"Today, kill one and get one pelt, kill two and get three pelts!"

"Good! Captain, you also show them a couple of tricks!"

"Damn it! Do I even have hands?!"

Yu Lin withdrew his gaze from them.

He raised his hand to grasp the mask pendant on his neck, put it on, and then whispered:

"Watch the disguise."

"I know, I know."

As his words fell, he flickered and already appeared at the forefront of the battle.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he actually charged straight at the three‑meter‑high city wall!

"Bang——!"

Wood chips flew, stones shattered, and the city wall burst open a large hole!

Harald, seeing this, laughed loudly to the heavens:

"Hahaha, good, just like this!"

"Ares, scatter them! Crush them!"

"Let them........."

His words cut off abruptly.

In Harald's shocked gaze, Yu Lin walked slowly out of the smoke and dust.

A spear pierced his chest, the spear tip still dripping blood.

Yu Lin gripped the spear shaft without changing expression, then yanked it out violently!

"Pfft——"

Blood spurted like a fountain, causing all the Viking warriors to instinctively clutch their chests.

This probably hurts a bit.

Yet Yu Lin didn't care at all.

He casually wiped the wound, and miraculously the blood flow stopped.

He then raised his head and shouted loudly:

"For Aoding! The heroic spirits endure forever!"

Before his words even fell, he had already charged back into the town, unstoppable wherever he went!

Whoever he bumped into, he sent flying.

At the same time.

Seeing his such bravery, the king of this place panicked immensely, especially as his subordinates' morale had been crushed, as if they no longer dared to fight.

He hurriedly shouted: "Release arrows, release arrows!"

"Shoot him dead for me!"

The dozen or so archers beside him immediately nocked arrows, the first volley of arrows whistling in! Yu Lin flickered like a ghost, easily dodging all arrows.

The second volley followed close behind; this time he dodged with slight difficulty, the hem of his clothing torn by an arrow.

When the third volley of arrows struck, an arrow "accidentally" hit his shoulder! Yu Lin grunted, his movements noticeably slowed.

The fourth volley was nearly impossible to avoid! Dozens of arrows instantly turned him into a porcupine! Blood dyed his battle robe red, yet he remained standing.

He turned with difficulty and shouted at Harald's followers:

"For Aoding's glory!"

"The heroic spirits endure forever!"

As his words fell, his vision plunged into darkness, he collapsed straight to the ground, entering a state of feigned death.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft call woke him:

"Warrior, warrior, wake up."

"We should go."

Yu Lin slowly opened his eyes to see a female warrior in silver armor, golden hair fluttering, leaning over to look at him.

"Valkyrie..."

The Valkyrie smiled slightly, reached out and helped him up:

"Your bravery has earned you the right to enter the Hall of Heroic Spirits."

She pointed to the sky; a rainbow bridge descended from the heavens, radiant light shining.

"Come, follow me to Asgard."
