—————
As the name suggests, this item is inspired by Nidhogg from Norse mythology, who constantly gnaws at the roots of the World Tree.
‘It can’t be made and can only be obtained from Crassus.’
Dio didn’t take Nidhog, which was in Estellum’s warehouse, out of concern for Crassus or the World Tree.
It was only now that Dio realized that the World Tree had become corrupted.
Although it is a one-time use, it has a powerful option of destroying mana halls, so I thought it would be useful someday.
Although I didn’t know it would be used like this.
‘Besides, I don’t have the stats to use Nidhogg right now. If you don’t need it, just give it to the person who needs it most.’
While Dio was thinking about this and that, Crassus’ expression turned violent.
“…How do you have that? “You came from the ‘Howling Cauldron’?”
We do not know where the ‘howling cauldron’ that Crassus spoke of is.
Dio got it as a drop reward after defeating Crassus.
“Isn’t the more important thing than the source of Nidhogg is the fact that Crassus needs it right now?” At
Dio
‘s words, Crassus’s new form moved quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Crassus’ hand tried to snatch Nidhogg that Dio was holding.
“Aha calm down. “It’s precious, so I can’t give it to you easily,”
Dio, who anticipated Crassus’ actions, said slyly as he put Nidhogg in his inventory.
In response, Crassus, who only cut open empty space, ground his teeth.
“…It’s not something you should have. “Hand it over to me.”
Although Crassus seemed to be trying hard to control himself, he couldn’t help but show his impatience when he saw Nidhogg in front of him.
‘But they don’t want to do anything to me. Well, they can’t do anything about the person who was blessed by Solari.’
Dio smiled as he thought of Solari, whom he had met in the flower garden beyond the mural.
A time when there was nothing to do with the sun god.
If Crassus had been dealing with the player at that time, he would have just cut off his wrist or arm.
“Let me make a suggestion.”
There was no need to go further.
In order to destroy the World Tree sapling, Crassus must find Nidhogg.
However, since you have found Nidhogg right in front of you, there is no need to spend time looking for it.
“I would like to receive all of Crassus’ skills and knowledge. “When I’m satisfied, I’ll give you Nidhogg.”
“….”
Dio had the upper hand in the negotiation by even using the word ‘satisfaction’.
‘If you get trained by named NPCs, you may be able to acquire new skills… Even if you don’t get them, you will still learn something.’
Crassus seemed thoughtful.
He’s probably not thinking about how to teach now, but how on earth he got Nidhogg.
‘I guess I have no choice but to accept the offer, even if it’s just out of curiosity. Of course, I have nothing to tell you.’
No matter what you say, such as taking it out of the warehouse or getting it by killing you, it is difficult for Crassus to understand.
But no matter where Nidhogg came from, the only thing that mattered was that Nidhogg was real and that Crassus needed it.
Finally, Crassus opened his mouth.
* * *
The World Tree, the mother of the elves.
Since when did it start?
The moment the world tree was dominated by Luna’s power, Crassus became the target of all elves.
Before there was a queen who currently leads the elves, it was Crassus who led them.
At the time, Crassus was a high elf.
He was considered the most noble among the elves and was the only one who could receive the oracle of the World Tree.
The World Tree realized that Luna wanted him and asked Crassus for a favor.
[The arrogant moon is trying to destroy the world. Crassus. If I become polluted, you cut down my roots.]
At the World Tree’s request, Crassus refused, saying that he could not do that.
But the world tree was a euphemism.
[Crassus. my child It could be my last request to you.]
[For me, for your people, you are the only one who can protect us all.]
In the end, the World Tree’s last request became Crassus’ long-standing mission.
And Crassus set off on a long journey to wait for the time to complete his mission.
As time passed, Crassus became convinced when he heard that the elves were participating in the human war through the will of the World Tree.
As the World Tree expected, Luna’s power polluted the roots of the World Tree.
Crassus cried for three days and nights.
And I decided.
‘The World Tree must destroy my mother.’
For my mother, for my people.
Destroying the World Tree was no easy task, even for Crassus.
A mana-friendly elf.
The mana they have comes from the World Tree.
The huge mana scepter of the World Tree cannot be destroyed by normal methods.
To solve this problem, Crassus began a journey to find the legendary weapon ‘Nidhogg’.
A time when dragons ruled the world.
At that time, there was a dragon called the Calamity of Mana.
Nidhogg was made from the dragon’s teeth.
However, as strong as it is, it comes with great risks.
It is said that people were so afraid of Nidhogg’s destructive power that they hid the Nidhogg they had made at that time throughout the continent.
It was just an old legend passed down orally.
However, Crassus wandered for over 100 years on that alone.
After a long time, Crassus was able to find Nidhogg at the ‘Howling Cauldron’, which is called the entrance to Hell.
‘mother.’
Crassus fulfilled the wish of his mother, the World Tree.
However, the elves who were encroached upon by Luna did not know the truth and, enraged, they did their best to kill Crassus.
Crassus, who wanted to tell the elves the truth, but still felt guilty about destroying the World Tree, quietly disappeared.
However, the sudden news that the saplings of the World Tree were growing again made Crassus move again.
‘Are there any seeds left?’
It seems that he was not able to finish the anguish of having to destroy the World Tree with his own hands.
‘For sure this time.’
Crassus should not have stopped, even if only to grant the World Tree’s wishes.
To destroy the World Tree once again.
This time, Crassus, who needed Nidhogg again, was planning to go on a long journey.
But…
‘How on earth does that guy have Nidhogg?’
An item that Dio took out from subspace.
Crassus could tell at a glance that it was Nidhog.
Although it is decorated extravagantly, the dizzying energy of disaster can be felt just by looking at it up close.
‘It must be Nidhogg. And he knows what it is.’
Crassus had no doubt that Dio was the key.
Isn’t he the person with Solari’s sword beyond the mural?
But…
Crassus followed the sun because it was the will of the World Tree.
The World Tree is the god of the elves.
Elves believe in the World Tree.
Therefore, even if it is the key chosen by the sun.
There is no way to argue about the world tree.
‘Can even the key to the sun know the meaning of the world tree?’
No, that’s not the problem.
I was suspicious of the purpose for which he was handing over Nidhogg.
It doesn’t seem like Nidhogg is making an offer without knowing what the item is.
If that were the case, he wouldn’t have even suggested it to himself.
‘You’re giving me the legendary weapon so readily? ‘Just getting trained by me?’
For Crassus, teaching Dio is much easier than going out to find Nidhogg.
In fact, Dio’s offer was like giving Nidhogg away for free.
Therefore, Crassus was rather suspicious of Dio.
‘Only elves can carry on the will of the World Tree. What if you want to take advantage of this?’
Crassus’s suspicions were by no means excessive.
Over the past thousand years, there have been countless believers who abandoned the Sun God because they could not withstand Luna’s pressure and brainwashing.
‘Maybe Luna was up to something…’
Even if it was the key to the sun.
No, perhaps even more so, so we should be suspicious.
The moon goddess is that cunning and dangerous.
Crassus looked at Dio without any doubt.
* * *
“Before making a deal, there is one thing you must make clear.”
“what is that?”
Dio was intrigued by Crassus’ proposal, which he thought he would accept right away.
“Show me Nidhogg again.”
Dio instantly sensed danger as Crassus’ tone turned as cold as ice.
Living with doubt.
Dio was momentarily horrified by the unusual atmosphere Crassus felt.
Dio knew that the other person was the key, so he thought he would take it lightly, but that was not the case.
‘Seven stars…be cautious. Even God doubts it. It could be because Luna suffered that much.’
It was not a situation to check the liver.
In that case, a story is needed here to resolve Crassus’ doubts.
“Do you think I have other intentions?”
“There’s no harm in being suspicious, right?”
“I understand.”
Dio nodded calmly at Crassus, who spoke openly.
There is no need to feel unfair or upset.
Here I must speak as a sincere believer in the sun.
“I only recently became aware of the existence of the sun. “When I met her at the Garden of the Sun, beyond the mural, I heard the true story.”
Dio took out an item from his inventory.
But it wasn’t Nidhogg, it was a bottle of potion.
Also, Dio said Advanced potion using skills.
“I believe Crassus would know this energy.”
“that…?”
In the case of a typical stamina potion, its contents should be a red liquid.
However, the potion that Dio took out was a golden liquid gliding.
“As you can see, the sun is blessed. “This would also be effective for the cursed believers of the sun.”
I haven’t tested it yet to see if it actually works, but it could be possible in theory.
Of course, that wasn’t the important thing.
The story that would convince Crassus now was ‘How can the being of the key blessed by the sun have Nidhogg?’
“It’s not just this. “I learned ‘subspace’ from the sun.”
“You were given a space?”
“yes. In addition, there are many more various Noble Phantasms here that will continue the will of the sun, not just Nidhogg.”
“Are you saying potions are part of them?”
“It’s literally just a small part of it.”
Dio put the potion back in and took out Nidhogg again as Crassus requested.
“Even the sun knows that the World Tree must be destroyed.”
Crassus nodded as if he was somewhat convinced.
“If the Goddess didn’t know about it, there would be no reason for Nidhogg to exist in this subspace.”
“Certainly…”
Crassus’s guard seemed to have loosened at the explanation of Dio, who was like a faithful believer, but his doubts did not seem to have completely disappeared.
As if to prove this, Crassus stared at Nidhogg.
Dio, who was watching this, approached Crassus and handed him Nidhogg.
If there is anything suspicious, you just have to look for it yourself.
“Has the goddess given you a mission to destroy the World Tree?”
Crassus hesitated as he looked at the Nidhogg handed to him by Dio.
This is because he wavered in front of the mission that had been given to him.
What if the final mission given to Crassus had been passed on to the key?
Crassus was confused about what he should live for.
“You didn’t say anything like that. However, it was the goddess’s will that gave me Nidhogg. And I also deliver this Nidhogg to someone.”
When Dio took a step towards Crassus, Crassus took a step back in surprise.
Dio held out Nidhogg in front of him and continued speaking.
“It must be the goddess’s will.”
“….”
Crassus’s eyes shook greatly.
Although she spoke in grandiose terms about the goddess’s will and all, Solari did not say a word about it.
I was originally planning on handing over Dio in return for training, but since I was so suspicious, I thought it would be better to just hand him over.
It is better to boldly give up on the deal, as it will raise suspicions about the seven stars.
“Please take it. “You don’t have to worry about my suggestion that I mentioned at the beginning. It came from my desire to quickly increase my power.”
Dio finally used Sun’s Blessing against Nidhogg.
Woe!
A brilliant brilliance surrounding Nidhogg.
Crassus knelt down on one knee in the sacredness that Luna could not dare to imitate.
