Due to Sparta's strong discipline, Kratos has always been taciturn.

And because of his numerous experiences of being tricked in the past, he has always been wary and suspicious of strangers.

"Father……"

Atreus took Kratos's thick arm and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Recalling the voices he heard in the illusion of eternal light, Kratos showed no change on the surface, but his heart gradually softened.

"Hmph~"

With an emotionless snort, Kratos closed the door of the Temple of Tire again, turned around and walked towards Lu Xiao and others.

"We only have a five-minute break."

Lu Xiao raised his hand to absorb the scrap metal that Brock had piled in the corner of the shop, and used the refining technique to make several chairs out of them.

"Let's sit down and talk. I can't finish it in a few sentences. I also have a few questions to ask you."

"Wow!"

Atreus looked at these regular metal chairs with shining eyes: "How is this done?"

Lu Xiao smiled and explained: "It's just the application of alchemy."

Brock complained softly in the shop: "I have never seen this kind of alchemy..."

Before the vigilant Kratos could reach out and grab his son, the lively Atreus had already jumped onto one of the chairs, looking around curiously.

After confirming that Atreus was not harmed, Kratos finally felt relieved, pulled up a chair and sat down.

It can be seen that Kratos is still wary, and Lu Xiao does not waste time chatting with him.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first...Mimir."

Following Lu Xiao's line of sight, Atreus and Kratos discovered that the "domestic dog" beside them had the head of a one-eyed old man tied to its back.

"Wow!"

Atreus did not feel scared, but asked in surprise: "What's going on with this head? Do you have the habit of collecting human heads as trophies?"

"Little brother, I am not a trophy, but a partner who acts with Lu Xiao from the same standpoint."

Mimir suddenly spoke and finally startled Atreus. Kratos put his hand in front of his son and looked at Mimir warily.

"god?"

"Uh~"

The words that Mimir had already spoken were stuck back, and he reorganized his words: "Strictly speaking, I should be considered a giant, but I have worked in Asgard for a period of time before."

Mimir in Nordic mythology is a wise giant. Lu Xiao once thought that the setting of this world was a little different, but it seemed that there was not much change.

After Atreus got used to Mimir's state, curiosity arose again.

"Have you ever worked in Asgard? What was it like there? Is Odin's Golden Palace really made of solid gold? Does Heimdall the Gatekeeper really have a rooster?"

"child."

Kratos interrupted Atreus's One Hundred Thousand Whys: "Let's get down to business, where is the highest mountain in the Nine Realms?"

"Jotunheim."

Mimir ignored Atreus's question for the time being, and his golden single eye reflected a projected image, which was a mountain like a palm.

"This mountain is the highest in the Nine Realms. It is in the country of giants."

"It's a pity that since the giant hid the kingdom tower, rewritten the runes of the teleportation runestones, and sealed off his own kingdom, no one knows how to get to Jotunheim."

Withdrawing the projection of his right eye, Mimir turned his gaze to look at Lu Xiao: "The top of the mountain where you found me before was the only portal leading to Jotunheim, but the corresponding runes are needed to unlock the seal."

Lu Xiao suddenly realized that he finally knew what the seemingly useless gate was for.

"In other words, Odin imprisoned you in front of the portal just to force you to find out the way to Jotunheim?"

Mimir: "Yes, but I don't know how to get to Jotunheim... In other words, I can't get the runes needed to get to Jotunheim on my own."

Lu Xiao is not interested in Jotunheim, his goal is to obtain divine power.

The fact that Mimir's head was taken away will definitely not be hidden from Odin, and he will probably ask Balder who comes to Midgard to search for Mimir's whereabouts.

Baldr's main goal is to find the giants left in Midgard and pry out from them the way to Jotunheim.

But the giants left in Midgard have long been killed by Thor, and it is difficult to find a living giant.

Kratos and Balder's goals are essentially the same, and this is not unrelated to Lu Xiao.

Even if the divine power of all the Valkyries is absorbed, it will not be enough to fill the beacon's full energy. This means that Lu Xiao must find a way to kill more gods.

Nowadays, there are only 3...no, 4 gods known to Midgard.

The two brothers Manny and Modi, Baldr, and Freya.

The two dogs of the God of Thunder were already self-propelled batteries of divine power in Lu Xiaoxin's mind. According to preliminary calculations, absorbing their divine power would not be enough.

The remaining divine power can be supplemented by one of Baldr and Freya. One of these two people is a former queen of the gods, and the other is one of the current main gods of Asgard. The divine power contained in their bodies is very strong.

This is why Lu Xiao went to Mimir to ask about the whereabouts of the first mistletoe, and he focused on Badr.

Baldur and Thor's two cubs were elusive, and it was very difficult to search for them deliberately.

However, knowing the goals of the three people in advance, Lu Xiao could find a way to fish them out.

Kratos, the god-killer with thick skin and powerful combat power, is the best bait.

Balder mistakenly recognized Kratos's identity, thinking that he was the last giant of Midgard. This misunderstanding caused the two to fight in front of Kratos' home.

But in fact, the real giant is Kratos's deceased wife Fei, and she has nothing to do with Kratos.

As long as Kratos and Atreus continue their journey, they will encounter the Asaph clan sooner or later, which will help Lu Xiao attract attention and allow him to successfully find the secret rooms where other Valkyries sleep.

Kratos has a straighter mind, and he did not hear the hidden meaning in Mimir's words.

Atreus, who was quick-thinking, reacted and asked excitedly: "Do you know how to obtain the runes of Jotunheim?"

"Yes, to get the answer, you must go to the Temple Bridge and ask the only remaining giant in Midgard."

"Bridge?"

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "You're not talking about the world snake Jörmungandr, are you? How can it be a giant?"

Mimir smiled and explained: "You have some misunderstandings. Giants are not all big guys in the literal sense. All descendants of giants can be called giants."

"Jormungandr's mother is the giantess Angelberda. Of course, it can also be counted as a giant, and it knows some secret information that only giants can know."

Atreus scratched his head in distress: "The problem is, how do we communicate with Jormungandr? I can't understand its words."

"It's my turn to take action here."
