Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Chapter 108 World Tree

"World Tree, why are you asking it so kindly?" Hilda frowned and asked in confusion.

"I went to see Andreas Reese today. I originally wanted to learn some things about the gods from him. During the conversation, we talked about the World Tree. I was about to ask in detail, but Andreas Reese immediately kept silent." Albelisi directly attributed the reason to Andreas Reese. Hilda had already known about his identity as Loki, the god of mischief, so he did not doubt it.

In Norse mythology, there exists a mythical giant tree called Yggdrasil, often referred to as the World Tree. Its branches, like pillars, support the framework and structure of the entire world. Its existence is not just a natural spectacle, but a crucial element in the Norse mythology system.

The word "Urk" implies awe and fear, and is also another name for the god Odin in Norse mythology. "Tlahil" represents a steed. The fusion of these two words creates the unique and profound name "Odin's Horse."

The origin of this name is a legendary story. It is said that Odin, with incredible courage and determination, once suspended himself from this tree, wielding the incredibly sharp spear, Kungunir, and without hesitation, pierced himself. It was through this extreme act that Odin miraculously discovered the mystical runes. However, Odin vividly described this act as a thrilling "horseback ride." Thus, this tree, bearing the fruit of Odin's spirit of exploration and wisdom, has since acquired the legendary name of Yggdrasil.

At this moment, Hilda looked solemn and dignified, and described the origin of the World Tree in detail in a clear and steady voice.

"Hilda, do you know exactly where the World Tree is?" Alberich asked quickly.

"Why are you asking it? There is a barrier protecting the World Tree, and I suspect that the World Tree has already developed an independent consciousness. If someone approaches it rashly, the consequences will be disastrous." Hilda's brows were obviously furrowed even tighter. It was obvious that she was worried that Albelisi would dare to take advantage of the World Tree.

"According to my understanding, the World Tree is near Asgard, and as you said, the World Tree may have developed an independent consciousness. Once it is instigated by outsiders and something unusual happens, then our entire Asgard..." Alberich did not finish his words, but Hilda could understand what Alberich meant.

"Just tell me! Albelisi, what do you want to do? If you don't convince me, I won't tell you. I believe that in Asgard, no one except me knows about the World Tree, not even my sister Freya." Hilda said solemnly.

Alberich was silent for a long moment before he spoke: "On the one hand, as I said before, the World Tree is like Asgard's bomb, ready to explode at any moment. On the other hand, I've learned some things about the gods from Loki, and combined with my research in ancient texts and my own calculations, I've found a way to prolong life, but this requires a great deal of vitality!"

"So you are planning to attack the World Tree? Are you crazy? You have to know that if the World Tree catches fire, then..." Hilda said hurriedly.

Albelisi waved his hand to interrupt Hilda and said, "This problem will be solved sooner or later, right? If not me, then our sons and grandsons. I'm not sure if their strength can reach my level, or even surpass me, but the probability is very low, isn't it? I was able to reach my current level. Opportunity, calculation, crisis, no matter what, could cause my efforts to fail."

"It's right below the Fairy Palace. In fact, the Fairy Palace was built here to guard the World Tree, or it would be more appropriate to suppress it." Hilda broke the explosive news.

As soon as Hilda said this, Alberich shuddered. In his previous life, he had only watched a small part of Saint Seiya Soul of Gold. He only knew that in the end it would take the power of the twelve golden god warriors to obtain the Eternal Spear Gungnir. He didn't know much about the World Tree. But he never dreamed that there was such a big melon under his feet, the kind that could explode at any time. No wonder Andreas Reese tried so hard to get into Asgard. It turned out that this was his idea.

Aluberici now wishes he could find Andreas Riise again and give him a good beating.

Arubelisi frowned, his hands clasped behind his back, and paced back and forth in front of Hilda. His steps seemed heavy and hurried, as if each one carried immense pressure and anxiety.

Time ticked by, and Albelisi still hadn't made a final decision. However, after careful consideration, an idea gradually became clear: first, renovate his own grand manor! After all, the manor covered a vast area and had ample space to implement subsequent plans.

Albelis resolved to expand the manor into a magnificent royal palace. Once the renovations were complete, he would first relocate the Asgardians and their valuables there, ensuring their safety. This would ensure their safety while also creating favorable conditions for the subsequent operation against the mysterious World Tree beneath Asgard—killing two birds with one stone.

Without hesitation, Albelisi issued a formal order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his own name and that of Queen Hilda. This directive explicitly stated that the expansion project would be entirely funded by the royal family and demanded that the castle be meticulously constructed into a magnificent and imposing Albelisi Castle.

Unlike Eastern feudal dynasties, Western lords enjoyed considerable autonomy in how they spent their wealth. When they sought to invest in construction, they did not, as in the East, face widespread admonishment from their ministers, who accused them of incompetence. Instead, Westerners were generally enthusiastic about building castles and manors, a common sight in their lands. Consequently, Alubelisi's decision did not spark much controversy or opposition, either within the court or among the people.

For the sake of confidentiality, Aluberisi specially summoned more than a dozen well-known architectural designers in Northern Europe to design the castle in Yasgart. After the design was completed, the design drawings were directly collected and all drafts were destroyed.

Thanks to Alubelisi's constant urging and generous financial support, the design drawings, originally expected to take one or two years to complete, were forced to be delivered in just over a month. This undoubtedly brought enormous pressure and challenges to the designers, but they had no choice but to rise to the challenge.

The next phase was a busy and intense construction phase. To ensure the project's progress, Alubelisi personally assigned personnel to oversee and manage the work. He demanded that all available human and material resources be prioritized for this project to ensure its smooth progress.

After two months of painstaking work, this magnificent structure was finally completed. It's no longer just another castle, but a unique masterpiece that blends modern technology with traditional palace style. If it had to be named, perhaps "Alubelisi Palace" would be a more appropriate name.

Upon entering this palace, the first thing that strikes your eye is the array of cutting-edge technology. From intelligent security systems to energy-efficient lighting, every detail showcases the charm of modern technology. Yet, at the same time, the ingenious incorporation of traditional palace elements creates a sense of transport back to a bygone era. Exquisite carvings, magnificent murals, and a solemn and elegant layout all embody a sense of nobility and luxury.

Whether in terms of appearance or interior decoration, the new Arubelisi Palace is a perfect work.

Next came the massive relocation. Albelisi's external reason was that Asgard had been in disrepair for a long time and needed maintenance. The people of Asgard also expressed their understanding. After all, Asgard had existed for so many years, and it was normal for it to age.

Except for the two major guards of the Fairy Palace, Jiegufulie and Dulu, who had some objections to moving to the Alubelisi Palace, after all, they felt like living under someone else's roof. But when Alubelisi picked up Oscar and raised him in their direction, they immediately shut up. Well, you have the final say!
