War Lord

Chapter 188: Odin

The off-road vehicle drove along the steel bridge to the Golden Gate at the entrance of Asgart.

On the edge of the city, there are concrete dams and metal fortifications scattered on top of them to form fortifications. Judging from the height of the fortifications of nearly 100 meters, even a tracked tank used for attacking fortifications cannot directly cross. If you want to attack the city, you can only attack the city through this steel bridge, but the metal fortifications on the fortifications are not a display. Once covered by their firepower, it is foreseeable that the attacker will suffer heavy losses.

The giant golden gate opened ahead of time before the off-road vehicle arrived. Unlike the gate in the Julian Mountains, the giant golden gate was silent when it opened. Zero Safety does not understand what its kinetic energy is provided, but it is definitely not a crude hydraulic machine. This means that Asgart has more advanced technology than ordinary city bases on the coastline. Although it is just a door, it has already given Zero a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

Behind the gate, in addition to a large factory area, there is also a simple residential area. But the simplicity is only relative to the central city of Asgart. The bungalows inhabited by labor slaves are much more luxurious than the slums of any base on the coast.

As he continued to penetrate the miraculous city of Asgart, Ling also gradually understood the strict hierarchy of the city.

If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that the outline of Asgart is like a standard circle. The city has only two entrances and exits in the east and west, which are connected by steel bridges. In addition to various factories, buildings in the city are taller and bigger as they go to the center. On the contrary, they are shorter and smaller as they are closer to the edge.

The area for slaves and coolies, like the one seen by Zero, occupies nearly one-third of the area of ​​Asgart, but all of them are bungalows with only one storey. It is true that the higher these houses are built, the more space can be saved. However, Asgart seemed to reflect the rigorous hierarchy of the city. The rooms where the lowest-ranking personnel lived were no more than 20 meters high.

In the most central part of the city, the building that can have a panoramic view of the city is, to say nothing, a hundred stories high.

Only the more powerful can see the farther place!

This seems to be the silent word that Asgart wants to tell the world.

Mercedes-Benz was on the road to the tallest building in the center of Asgart. Valkyrie told Zero that it was the power center of the city and the hall of the Twelve Lords.

Asgart’s class resembled the feudal kingdom of the ancient times. Slaves were the lowest-level people in the city. They had no freedom. What they earned from their hard work was nothing more than three meals a day. The citizens were one class higher than the slaves. Citizens are middle and high-level managers in various factories in the city. They don't have to get up early and greedy like slaves, and the reward is not only to provide bread and clean water, but also to exchange data coins for other materials.

Then there are the military system and the nobles, who constitute the upper-class society of the city and have the power to participate in certain decisions of Asgart. They even allowed some representatives to be selected to form the council and participate in the daily management of the city.

Above this group of people are the people at the top of the pyramid in the city of Asgart. They have the title of gods, although they sound very arrogant, but their average ability level is above the ninth rank, to ordinary people, they do exist like gods. Valkyrie is one of them, but the highest authority of the city is called the Hall of Twelve Lords, but there are only six of them.

They are the goddess of war Valkyrie, the **** of war Tyr, the **** of thunder Thor, the **** of shadow Loki, the **** of light Badr and the father of the gods Odin. As for the other vacant positions, according to Valkyrie's statement, they are waiting. As long as you prove that you have enough talents, you can enter the Hall of the Twelve Lords. But in the eyes of Zero, this is undoubtedly the best incentive method. No matter whether the remaining six seats are deliberately vacated or not, as long as people living in this city want to sit in that supreme position. In exchange, it is the unreserved loyalty and dedication of the members of this city.

And now, Valkyrie took Zero and took the elevator to the highest floor of the Hall of the Twelve Lords. Because there, Odin wants to see him.

Ling held the idea that he would be at ease, but he didn't ask why Odin wanted to see him. In fact, the Valkyrie of the Hall of Twelve Lords was dispatched by the Hall of Valor for a wilderness mercenary in his area, and Zero had already faintly guessed that this must have something to do with some interests. He knew very well that he was neither powerful nor powerful, and he was not able to make the Hall of Valor go head-on with the Dark Council for him. It was probably related to the secret behind his golden right eye.

In other words, Zero can also learn about certain things in his past, so he does not refuse to meet with the city's supreme ruler~lightnovelpub.net~ Besides, even if he wants to refuse, he can't do it.

In the electronic reminder of the elevator, Zero knew that the destination had arrived. The elevator doors retracted and opened on both sides, and what appeared in front of Zero was a vast hall. The hall is paved with marble floor tiles, supported by four stone pillars, and the ceiling of the hall is a dome-shaped cover, painted with various legends and myths, like hymns dedicated to the gods.

The decoration in the hall is simple, with a stove and a bench covered with animal skins in the center, and a rectangular square table next to it. The table is full of fruits and food, which can be eaten at any time by the people in the hall. In addition, there are also two weapon racks filled with cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords, axes, etc., which can be used for discussion at any time. The edge of the hall adopts a semi-enclosed design, crossing the waist-height fence, the people in the hall can have a panoramic view of the whole city of Asgart.

At this time, there is only one person in the hall. He stood by the fence, with his back to the two people.

Valkyrie said respectfully to the man: "Father, I brought zero."

"Very good. You go down first, and I and Zero want to talk separately."

This voice is old and slightly hoarse. More importantly, Ling felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Valkyrie next to him retreated obediently. When the goddess of war left, the old man with his back to Zero slowly turned his body.

White hair, wrinkled face, drunk eyes and red rosacea. These characteristics make up a person that Zero knows, old hunter Ben Douglas!

"It's you? You're Odin?" Ling said in astonishment.

Ben gave an awkward smile and said: "Odin is just an external name. You should know that sometimes a prestigious title can have a shocking effect. I would rather hear your original name, zero, me Dear friend, welcome to the Hall of Valor. I have waited for this moment for too long."
