Chapter 1007: Chapter 92 So, shall we start the prayer?

The next morning.

Slude and her two companions left behind two squadrons of junior Valkyries to guard the village, then, surrounding their superior Luo En, they headed out of the village with the remaining personnel and chariot in tow.

Upon hearing this news, a swarm of villagers from different races emerged from their homes, crowding along the paths on both sides, bidding farewell to the people in the convoy with reluctance.

Not all the residents of this village settled here due to accidentally falling into Giant Country through a spatial rift.

Many of them were considered weak in the secular sense, unable to survive in their original environments, thus they found their way here based on rumors, hoping to find a more stable and peaceful living environment.

As the strong, Scadi accepted them, Luo En and the Valkyries protected them, these bits and pieces naturally filled the villagers with a sense of belonging to the village, as well as deep gratitude for the higher-ups who had assisted them.

But due to the gap in strength and status, their means of expressing gratitude were limited.

By the time the chariot emerged, it was already filled with local products like candied fruits, jerked meats, floral teas, furs, nectar, and even the Norn Three Goddesses who accompanied them were stuffed with plenty of delicacies meticulously made by the villagers.

Looking at those figures standing at the village entrance, reluctant to leave for a long time, and at the treats piled up in their arms, Urd and Belldandy couldn’t help but feel moved.

During the hundreds of years they spent searching for their sister Scouty, they left the Immortal Palace and mingled among different Kingdoms, witnessing all kinds of weak and rulers.

Conflict, strife, oppression were almost eternal themes

Not just between Alien Races, foreign kingdoms, but even among the same race, it was hard to be spared.

And like the scene before them now, placing intelligent lives from different kingdoms in one village and enabling them to cooperate and coexist harmoniously was almost dreamlike.

Perhaps, both the Nine Great Kingdoms and the Divine Era of Nordic and Greece could, through this fellow’s mediation, overcome difficulties together and move towards peace.

The two Fate Goddesses exchanged glances and, assuming their identities as Valkyries, boarded the chariot, guarding Luo En, their superior, on both sides.

As for the youngest sister Scouty, she was still bickering back and forth with Slude and her companions.

~~

Because Giant Country and the Immortal Palace were adversaries, the two did not have a direct connection.

To return to Asgard, the convoy needed to first travel through Dwarf Country, then through the teleportation formation built in Turin City to activate the Rainbow Bridge, to finally open the path to the Immortal Palace.

Long-range space teleportation across several Kingdoms inevitably required some preparation time, and Luo En was not in a hurry to set off, granting the Valkyries by his side a half-day holiday as a reward for their devotion and loyal service during this period.

Upon hearing this great news, the Valkyries cheered and frolicked, wandering around Turin City together.

Although they had been strictly trained as Soldiers since childhood, most of them were still naive girls, inevitably filled with curiosity about the outside world.

With many rules in the Immortal Palace, once back home they wouldn’t be able to wander as freely as now, so the Valkyries almost shopped out the most bustling street in Turin City on their half-day out, significantly boosting the GDP of Dwarf Country.

In the meantime, Luo En also visited the Guild base and the Dwarf Palace separately.

Unfortunately, due to heavy affairs, his foster daughter had already returned to the Guild headquarters on Heather Island to work.

On the other hand, the Old Dwarf King had more leisure time; since the resurrection of his son, he had been gradually transferring the power of the Dwarf King to the younger generation.

As soon as Luo En entered, the Old Dwarf King showed great enthusiasm, wanting to hold a lavish banquet to have a good drink with this “prospective son-in-law” and “backer.”

Luo En politely declined the Old Dwarf King’s kindness, saying solemnly:

“I’m a bit pressed for time, so let’s skip the drinks; just do two things for me.”

“You command!”

“First, I’ve been out for quite a while, and I need to visit the Immortal Palace. However, I brought quite a few people and things with me this time; the teleportation formation will need some adjustments from you. Second, I’d like to borrow a few Dwarf Craftsmen, to help me forge some items.”

Hearing they weren’t difficult tasks, the Old Dwarf King immediately agreed and, with a quick pace of his short legs, sprang into action.

Day shifted to night, and dusk approached.

Under the personal supervision of the Old Dwarf King, the preparations were swiftly completed.

With blocks of high-purity Demon Crystals inserted into the grooves engraved with Secret Text, the large golden altar constructed of Cen Wood, surrounded by three rings of Lun Runes, lit up with a flicker, forming a dazzling beam that shot into the clouds.

A moment later, the sky glowed with splendid auroras, a huge rainbow column connecting the two Realms.

Seeing the Rainbow Bridge open, Luo En waved goodbye to the Dwarf King and his entourage who came to see them off, leading the convoy into the resplendent column of light.

After a wave of familiar yet somehow strange spatial turbulence, the blinding light pollution before their eyes gradually faded, revealing the imposing golden transit station.

Of course, in addition to familiar scenery, there were also more familiar faces.

—-Love Goddess Freya, along with little Eden, waited in the hall.

“You’re finally back. As soon as I received Slude and their message, I rushed over to greet you,”

Freya greeted Luo En with a smile as he emerged from the teleportation formation, eager to take credit,

“Just in case, I also brought a few squads of Valkyries to maintain order on site.”

“Is that really necessary?” Luo En couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time.
