Chapter 56: 56: Picking up a sister for free
Outside Valhalla, the palace of Odin, the Aesir of Mount Asgard, two beautiful girls were walking in the woods.
"Lord Balder..." The girl, with her waist-length golden hair swaying slightly and wearing a gorgeous Valkyrie costume, looked in front of her with a little helplessness at Balder, who was slightly taller than her.
"I don't think it would be right to not tell the Great God that you are going to welcome Kevin the Man of Miracles, the son of Luger of the Tribe de Danann."
The girl's voice was pleasant to the ear, but it lacked vitality, as if it had no emotions, and sounded like a mechanical machine.
"Don't tell father, Oh Slud."
As Balder turned around, his long golden hair, as dazzling as the sun, swayed, and his flawless fair face appeared in front of the Valkyrie named Slude.
Those azure eyes were as pure and flawless as the azure blue sky.
Slud looked at Balder in front of him. Even among all the gods, he was the most dazzling god of light.
Seeing the smile she showed to him, Slude, who clearly wanted to accuse her of doing the wrong thing, couldn't help but smile, unable to say it out loud.
"After all, there is no precedent for mortals to come to the kingdom of the gods." Balder said, looking up at the sky in front of him and said: "If my father knew, he might not allow me to welcome him over, so let's keep it a secret for now."
"But sooner or later the great god will know."
"Hmm..." Balder tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's wait until father finds out!"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was taking another happy step forward, Slude couldn't help but feel a little helpless again.
She is the Valkyrie, the Valkyrie who welcomes the souls of warriors to Valhalla, and is created by the great god Odin.
Because of Ruger, Balder knew everything about Kevin, and he also knew that he could not take care of others, so he came to Valhalla, found Slude, and told her.
Under normal circumstances, Slud would not agree to Balder's request, but...
"The man of miracles, Kevin, the son of light, the hero of the continent of Irene..."
Looking at Balder walking in front of him, Slude couldn't help but whisper, "Can I find out from you why my elder sister gave up her Valkyrie status and went to Midgard?"
Just as Balder stopped and turned to look at Slud curiously, wanting to ask her what she was whispering, a majestic eagle fell from the sky, came to Balder, and delivered the order from Odin.
Then, accompanied by Slud, the two came to the Silver Hall together and met Odin who had been waiting for a long time sitting on the High Throne.
"Father, what do you want to talk to your daughter about?" After the two of them saluted, Balder asked curiously.
Looking at the god of light who was as dazzling as the sun, the embodiment of brilliance and beauty, the symbol of spring and joy, and his most satisfied daughter, Odin could not help but reveal a faint and gentle smile.
"How long do you plan to hide from me the fact that my daughter Balder, Kevin, the son of Luger, is coming to visit my clan?"
"...Huh?" Balder was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at Slude, who shook his head at her.
She had indeed been thinking about whether to tell Odin about this, but she had not had the time to act yet.
"It wasn't Slud who told me." Odin said calmly, "It was Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, who told me personally."
"Scathach, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom...Kevin's master?"
"Yes." Odin nodded gently, satisfying Balder's curiosity. "In the past, I had high hopes for her and taught her runes. I was half her master... It's just a pity that she eventually chose to go to the Kingdom of Shadows instead of joining the God Clan like me."
"...Father." Balder thought for a moment, "Could it be that even you cannot see him?"
Upon hearing this, Slude couldn't help but raise her head. She was also very curious about this.
Odin nodded gently: "I can't see... and I have already negotiated this with the Queen of Shadow Country. Since you are willing, from today on, Kevin will temporarily live in your Bredablik Palace."
"Valkyrie Slude."
When Balder showed his surprise, Odin asked Slud to come forward and said, "Although Kevin, the Son of Miracle, is a warrior of the Eileen Continent, you must know that he has lost most of his strength.
So from today on, you will stay by his side and protect him."
Since it was Odin's order, and Srude was brought out by Balder for this reason, he nodded and accepted the task.
After giving the order and the two men left, Odin stood up from the throne, walked outside the hall, and looked at the scenery outside, his own kingdom, for a long time.
"The man of miracles, the man without destiny, Kevin... Just how far can you go?"
Odin whispered.
...
...
A few days later, Kevin, who had been walking in the light, didn't know how long he had been walking.
Fortunately, I had the silver bag that Scathach gave me, so I wasn't hungry after eating the magic fruit. But I walked for too long and couldn't help feeling a little bored.
"Little bird...ah no, Neil, how long have we been walking?"
After eating a magical fruit which was not sure whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner today, Kevin stood up and continued walking and asked.
Neil was the name he gave to the bird. After all, it was inconvenient to have no name for it.
"Not sure." The beautiful bird Nell replied, "Going to another continent is not an easy task. Even if Lord Luger helps, it is impossible to get there instantly."
"I know." Kevin replied, looking at the unchanging light around him, and said helplessly: "But if we keep going like this, there will be no end... Although I don't know the exact time, it's almost been a month at least!
Half of the magical fruit in my pocket has been taken away!"
It's not that Kevin lacks patience, he's just afraid that after eating the magical fruit, he will starve to death on the road, which would be a comedy.
There is no way to replenish this magical fruit now, after all, Neil, who was holding the magical fruit, is on his shoulder.
Fortunately, what Kevin was worried about did not happen in the end. As the light suddenly dissipated, Kevin walked out of it and came to a very beautiful three-color rainbow bridge made up of ice, fire, and air.
"Where is this..." Kevin looked at the three-color rainbow bridge under his feet curiously, and then asked Neil.
Neil blinked at him and said that she didn't know either... To be honest, she was just an ordinary servant of Ikrug.
If they weren't familiar with each other and it wasn't Ruger's order, she wouldn't have followed here at all!
"Neil, you seem so useless." Kevin sighed.
Neil turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Kevin shrugged and took another step forward. Fortunately, this time he didn't walk far before he arrived at the entrance of Asgard.
There were three people at the entrance, a man with a mouth full of gold teeth and sharp eyes, and Slud and Balder who had been waiting for a long time.
Balder and Slude stared at Kevin for a moment, then smiled faintly as he walked towards them. Slude couldn't help but whisper to Balder, "Lord Balder, is he really the miracle man of the Eileen Continent?"
Kevin, who is not yet seventeen years old, has black ponytailed hair and a delicate face. He looks like an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy.
If we ignore Neil standing on his shoulder and the magic sword worn on his waist.
The reason why Slude couldn't help asking this was because she felt that Kevin's image was too far away from what she had imagined. Wasn't he supposed to be a great hero of the Irene Continent?
Why doesn't she look strong at all? Instead, she seems... a little too cute?
The Valkyrie Slude, who had been receiving the Midgard human warriors and had already engraved the warrior's burly image in her mind, thought so and couldn't help staring at Kevin.
Bader, on the other hand, didn't have any special reaction, because through Ruger, she already knew about Kevin's situation, and knew that he couldn't grow muscles at all because of taking the magical fruit from the Irene Continent.
"Hello." Kevin came up to the three people and greeted them politely: "I am Kevin, the son of Luger, from the continent of Erin. I wonder if you..."
"I'm Balder." Looking at Kevin, after confirming his identity, Balder smiled extremely happily and pulled Kevin.
Under the stunned gaze of the other two, he held him in his arms, pressed him against his chest, and said happily: "Welcome, brother! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
God of Light, Son of Light Kevin...So if you have to say it, it is true that Balder is right to call Kevin his brother!
