Norton—a misnomer!
Of course, jokes aside, we should still take this seriously.
In any case, apart from Gangnir, which Odin wields and whose ability to kill the Dragon King is unknown, Norton's Seven Deadly Sins is the only sword with a proven track record of killing the Dragon King.
You must be on guard!
The door opened.
Freya stepped forward, looked at the dragon girl who had been waiting for her for a long time, adjusted her skirt, and moved with elegance:
"Long time no see, sister."
Chapter 101 Jormungandr's Worries
Jormungandr noticed his sister's bow, but didn't pay much attention, letting Freya adjust her skirt without acknowledging it, his gaze fixed intently on the person behind Freya...
Wang Anzhi.
She wore a long, crimson dress with tassels and a golden crown that shone brightly in the world. She was petite and lovely, but compared to the lively Freya, she still looked like a monarch.
"Sister?" Freya chuckled dryly and asked again, muttering to herself that Jormungandr was stingy in the past, but it had never been like this before!
Could it be that the questions she just discussed with Fenrir were found out by the petty Jormungandr?
Remembering this, Freya stopped pretending to be polite and stood up on her own. "Jormungandr, what brings you here?"
"Looking for you?" Jormungandr held his head high. "I've never looked for you..."
“You sent Fenrir to block my way…” Freya was somewhat exasperated.
“Don’t flatter yourself, Freya. I never intended to look for you,” Jormungandr said, looking at Wang Anzhi with bright eyes. “The person I’m looking for is him.”
"What do you want with Mimir?" Freya quickly grabbed Wang Anzhi's arm warily, as if afraid that Jormungandr would snatch him away.
This time, she arrived first!
Jormungandr, you'd better step aside.
Jormungandr looked at her sister, who was strutting around with Wang Anzhi, and felt inexplicably increasingly displeased.
"You call him Mimir, do you know who he is?" she asked, scrutinizing her sister whom she had neglected for so many years.
Perhaps due to the tendency to be jealous of their own kind, Jormungandr and Freya, as the only two remaining women among the four monarchs, do not have a good relationship.
“Of course,” Freya was about to blurt out, but suddenly stammered. She remembered that she had met Wang Anzhi in the White Emperor’s prison.
Is this something I can say out loud?
"What, you're not going to say anything?" Jormungandr looked at his sister with a teasing expression. She was still so innocent and naive, so easy to bully.
"I have nothing to say to you." After a long silence, Freya finally replied.
"Oh, is that so?" Jormungandr didn't care about Freya's reaction. She walked up to the two of them and looked the man next to her sister up and down. She even took a sniff of him and became more and more puzzled.
"What do you want to do?" Freya took a step forward warily, her flawless figure, compared to Jormungandr, immediately obscuring her view.
Really annoying!
Jormungandr made another mental note of it, naturally attributing the poor relationship between himself and Freya to her.
After shifting the blame, she looked at her younger sister, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
What is your relationship with him/her?
"We've already signed a contract," Freya said, grabbing Wang Anzhi's hand and showing off in front of her older sister, whom she didn't even like.
Wang Anzhi looked at the two sisters in front of him, not daring to say a word. It was as if an invisible war had begun between the two, and the pressure was almost crushing him, who was caught in the middle.
Signing a "contract" is an extremely sacred matter among dragons. If the two parties to the contract do not clearly define the scope of their obligations, then the contract is equivalent to a "marriage" in later generations.
This is an extremely important matter among the dragon race.
Wang Anzhi also found this information in the White Emperor's memories, which made his gaze toward Jormungandr become strange.
I wonder if my junior sister will ever find out about this, but I doubt she'll care!
As expected, Jormungandr didn't react much to this. She only sensed a familiar aura emanating from the man—it was her "egg".
This puzzled her.
The current era is generally peaceful. While dragons in other places may be constantly at war with each other, the four monarchs in Europe are quite peaceful with each other.
The Black Emperor Nidhogg watched them from his throne in the Arctic Circle. The four monarchs truly lived under the emperor's nose and dared not have any reckless thoughts.
Of course, high pressure is accompanied by resistance.
They were never exactly innocent children; they secretly clashed with each other, yet always maintained a balance on the surface.
For Jormungandr, things were simpler; she was simply curious why Freya had secretly brought back a person whose body contained her "eggs."
Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?
But then she thought about it again, and realized that even she herself hadn't released the "eggs" at all; they were still hidden on her body.
So the question arises: how should we explain this extra "egg" on Wang Anzhi's body?
Jormungandr is currently at her peak. Based on the limited understanding of dragon kings by later generations, she can be classified as a super-evolved form, or a "mythical form".
In the present day, if she were to reveal her full form, she could easily circle the Mediterranean Sea, end to end, which is why she is known in mythology as the "Serpent that Encircles Midgard".
Sometimes, myths are not exaggerations, but rather realistic depictions.
This is why, unlike her in later generations who had just emerged from the "egg" during the Roman era and did not notice anything unusual about Wang Anzhi even when they were in close proximity, only learning the truth through a blood pact.
Even now, Jormungandr, separated by half the Mediterranean Sea, can still detect the abnormality in Wang Anzhi's body.
That's why she had her brother summon him to her palace.
Now that he has seen Wang An up close, Jormungandr's doubts have only grown stronger, because...
This is her "egg".
Each dragon can only have one "egg," which contains their spirit. Now, she has two. What changes will this bring?
Is it good? Or bad?
Even Jormungandr himself couldn't explain it.
She hesitated, but Freya couldn't stand the awkward silence and blurted out:
"Jormungandr, what exactly do you want with us here? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."
As she spoke, she took Wang Anzhi's hand and walked to the window. At an altitude of 20,000 meters, the thin air currents were not an obstacle for her; on the contrary, it was an extremely interesting adventure.
Wang Anzhi did not stop her from doing so. He also hoped to get some information from his future junior sister, who would be much more reliable than the childish Freya.
Jormungandr shook his head, watching his sister's light blue figure disappear into the distance, and muttered to himself:
"Freya, do you want to know where your brother went?"
Chapter 102 Frey's Rebellion
Brother, Freya finally remembered the brother she had long forgotten.
She quickly turned around to look at the composed Jormungandr and asked curiously, "Do you know my brother Frey? Where is he?"
Jormungandr smiled and said, "Of course, he visited me not long ago."
"Really?" Freya's eyes flashed with excitement, then she muttered dejectedly, "He hasn't come to visit me at all. He hasn't visited me in days."
Wang Anzhi, standing to the side, keenly noticed the evasive look in Jormungandr's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness Jormungandr, may I ask how long ago 'not long ago' was?"
Freya realized what was happening and quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's right. How long ago was 'not long ago'?"
Jormungandr remained silent. Only when Freya was so angry that she started jumping up and down again did she slowly say, "Ten years ago."
Ten years ago, Freya pondered for a moment; even within the dragon race's timeline, this number was not short. The last time she saw her brother was 30 years ago.
"What does he want from you?"
“Naturally, we’re discussing important matters, things that a child like you shouldn’t know,” Jormungandr retorted sarcastically.
Although she appears to be the one who never grew up in terms of physical size, dragons place more emphasis on psychological age, just like Fenrir, who is clearly the older brother, always calls Jormungandr "sister".
Freya was a little unhappy. "What important matter is it that I, as your younger sister, cannot know?"
“Heh,” Jormungandr glanced disdainfully at his big-breasted, clueless sister, saying nothing, yet it was as if he had already said everything.
This immediately ignited Freya's rebellious spirit, and she shouted:
"I'd like to see what kind of big deal you two can have."
In Freya's simple mind, the Black Emperor Nidhogg reigns supreme, ruling the world with ease. The four monarchs are "full of righteous officials," and the two thousand dragons are currently "thriving." There is nothing of great importance to them.
At most, it's just some minor things.
Just as the dragons of the subcontinent had plotted rebellion and coveted the Black Emperor's throne, the Black Emperor was not to be outdone and successively dispatched Sky and Wind, and Earth and Mountains to suppress them.
The legends of "Indra's Wrath" and "Shiva's Dance" remain on that land.
These were never anything serious. They weren't worth worrying about at all, and Freya even couldn't help but think, "I could do that too."
It's much more enjoyable to travel openly and legally on public funds than to have to travel long distances and take detours every time, while also having to be careful not to be discovered by her father, the Black Emperor.
Seeing Freya's defiant gaze, Jormungandr smiled. This was exactly the answer she wanted. Silently, she closed the windows, the doors, the mental gates, and the key to Nibelungen...
Finally, with a distinct "bang," the last window was closed, and the 20,000-meter-tall tower became a so-called "place without heaven or earth," where even the Black Emperor, who controlled the world through fate, could not discover its secrets.
Freya was startled, instinctively recalling the ghost story Wang Anzhi had just told her about Jormungandr possibly attacking her and devouring her dragon bones and authority. Her voice trembled involuntarily.
"Jormungandr, what do you want to do?"
Wang Anzhi remained calm. Although his junior sister was a fussy person, she was not as slow as she was now when it came to actually taking action.
He took Freya's hand and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, Freya, this isn't meant to harm you."
Freya calmed down and mustered her courage to look at Jormungandr. Now that Fenrir was not around, if she tried her best, Jormungandr probably wouldn't be her match.
So she fell completely silent, and her gaze toward the "older sister" opposite her became unfriendly.
Jormungandr looked at Freya, who was as wary as a kitten, and calmly said:
