Chapter 186 - Split up (1/2)
He had never thought that one day he would be carrying a woman on his shoulder. Especially since the other party was a beautiful woman. From this angle, it was possible to see the almost perfect side of Valkyrie's face. Looking down, it was a pair of peaks that was partially covered by the alloy mail. No matter how he looked at it, this was a rare pleasure to enjoy. Unfortunately, Zero only wanted to lie down and rest right now.
At the end of the short journey, when he was carried all the way to the off-road SUV that was parked horizontally at the end of the street, Zero was directly thrown onto the ground by the blue-haired beauty. His expression changed. Even if all the bones in his body seemed to be about to break down, he still didn't make a sound.
Valkyrie suddenly kicked him, sending him flying more than three meters away. Strangely enough, instead of feeling any pain, a gentle energy entered his body through the Valkyrie's kick and quickly healed the wounds on his body, as well as the energy left inside him by the neutralizing wind blades.
A moment later, Zero regained some strength. So he could stand up and watch as Valkyrie removed a silver suitcase from the car, opened it, and threw it on the ground. She herself deftly removed her alloy mail and folded it up and put it in her suitcase. When the last piece of armor was put away, Valkyrie wore only a tight black battle uniform.
The tactical uniform outlined the perfect curve of her body. Even with the indifference at zero, the sight made her throat feel hot. She picked up a denim jacket from the passenger seat, put it on, and walked over to Zero.
Zero's instinct told him to stay away from this dangerous woman. From the way she could easily push off Levin and make the high-ranked Blood Cavalry leave in a dejected manner, this woman was definitely a ferocious female beast wearing a beautiful leather coat. He didn't think that Zero would be a match for this woman even if he was at his peak condition. Fortunately, the woman did not seem hostile to him. Otherwise, the last bullet left in Colt would have been aimed at his head.
”Alright, it's time for us to talk.” Valkyrie pulled Zero up and asked, ”Soldier, have you never heard of the Heroic Spirit Hall?”
”The palace created by the god Odin?” Zero answered honestly.
”You also said that it was only a myth.” ”I mean in this day and age, the Hall of Heroic Spirits is an organization that has a hostile relationship with the Dark Council,” he said impatiently. Although for some reason we are both in a state of truce, the war will happen one day. I, on the other hand, am Valkyrie of the Twelve Sovereigns' Hall of the Hall of Heroic Spirits. Of course, this is just a code name. ”
Zero slightly shook his head. The Dark Council was considered a giant by any city or base along the coastline. And now, there was another Hall of Heroic Spirits. However, this world was still very vast, and many things and powers were hidden in the darkness. Whether it is the Dark Council or the Heroic Spirit Hall, they are but the tip of the iceberg in this world.
More importantly, he had a vague idea of the purpose of this visit.
Judging from how she was able to repel a high level Blood Cavalry, and was also known as the Norse legend's Valkyrie, the woman in front of him was clearly of great background. Zero was certain that she must be a senior member of the Hall of Heroic Spirits, so the purpose of Valkyrie's visit was obvious.
”You want me to join the Heroic Spirit Palace?” Zero asked.
Valkyrie nodded. ”At least you're not too stupid. Our Heroic Spirit Hall is just like the legends said, we will search the continent for warriors with great potential and invite them to join us. I have read from your information that you have the potential to develop into a high-level esper, and that you are at odds with the Dark Council. In any case, you meet the criteria for accepting invitations. ”Therefore, I am solemnly inviting you here. I hope that you can join our organisation!”
”And if I refuse?” Zero Test asked.
”You know the answer, why do you ask?” Varkie said from the inside with no expression on his face.
A wry smile appeared on his face. If he didn't use it, what other answer could he come up with other than death?
”Well, this is an invitation I can't refuse. But before that, I hope you'll give me some time to do some personal work. ”
Valkyrie raised his eyebrows and sneered, ”Soldier, I hope you understand that I don't have much time. I can save your life at the hands of the Ninth Knight, but that doesn't mean I have time to waste on Parkland and your personal affairs. In fact, your trip to the North was an act of complete arrogance and arrogance. Although Parkland is only an outer company of the Dark Council, their strength is not limited to just one impulsive young family heir. In this company, there are at least three powerhouses of the seventh step, and their strength is enough to make you unable to return. ”
”Believe me, without strong power backing you up, you won't be able to do anything. As for you, right now, you're far from being considered strong. ” The War Goddess said to Zero calmly.
Zero clenched his fist, then slowly loosened it. He nodded and said, ”Alright, I'll go with you!”
Valkyrie nodded to herself. In her opinion at least zero was not so arrogant as to lose sight of his own weakness. If even he could not see it clearly, then how would he become strong?
”I know you want to ask Parkland for some interest. However, our Heroic Spirit Hall can also provide some loans. It's not much, but it's enough to be the starting point for your rebirth plan. ”Don't look at me like that. Since I'm going to recruit you, I naturally have to have all of your information.” Valkyrie added: ”However, we only offer credit to valuable members. If you want to get it, you have to prove your worth first. ”
”I will prove it to you.”
