Chapter 32: The Sun God and the Fire God (7)
?
When he heard the three words "Ivar", Bjorn was confused.
The four sons of Ragna, Bjorn, are the youngest, and Ivar is the eldest son. Among the four sons, Ragna loved Havdan the most, followed by Sigged. Havdan had the largest territory; Sigged was small but rich; Ivar was not very smart, and his territory was in the poorest Ireland; while Bjorn had no territory, he was handed over by Ragna to Hestyn as his deputy. Their brothers were seen less than a few times a year. When Ragna called for an offensive war against Zeland, he heard that Ivar was killed by Ella, who guarded Zeland, which was all. Later, he failed to assassinate Ragna and fled to death from the pirate kingdom, and he had never seen Ivar's body. At this moment, he suddenly heard this name in Aztland, thousands of miles away, and was called the Sun God. How could he not doubt it?
He also didn't remember mentioning his brother to Sitramina. Hafdan and Sigude looked down on him a little bit, and Ivar was disabled with legs. Every time Bjorn saw him, he leaned on the bed or lay on a stretcher, with a strange smile that didn't look very happy.
Bjorn suspected that he had heard it wrong, or that Sitramina was calling for another other person with similar names. With this hesitation, the huge magic circle drawn by Sitramina on the ground lit up, and a red light was printed in the night.
Kuku took the lead in reacting and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? This is not something that has been subdued by Master Quilakiri. It is too dangerous to summon it without authorization!"
He said it too late. As soon as he finished reciting the spell, Sitramina's eyes suddenly turned white and she fainted on the ground. The light of the magic circle suddenly dimmed, leaving only a slight light. But the light did not dissipate for a long time. A few flames emerged from the patterns of the magic circle. In a blink of an eye, the flames that soared into the sky spurted out from the bottom of the magic circle and shot high into the sky!
"Where is the demon!"
Kuku immediately acted like a fight. He had never seen a creature willing to be summoned. This guy who was not bound by Quirakiri but appeared in the magic circle on his own initiative must have some plans.
But the fire gradually gathered after a strong wave and condensed into a human form in the middle of the magic circle. Then, a burst of laughter rang out in the flames: "It's not a demon, it's just a spirit that wants to take this opportunity to speak."
Kuku glanced at the ground, but saw Sitramina unconsciously twisting her body on the ground, obviously in great pain. Kuku is the strongest disciple of Quilakir, and is more indignant at the scene in front of him than fear:
"Just come out and talk? Then why do you attack the person who summons you out?"
"I didn't attack her. I don't know why she fainted." Voices continued to be heard from the flames, "This is your magic circle, not mine. What happens, you should know better than me."
"The evil words confuse the crowd!"
Kuku took out a copper pot and placed it on the ground, then took out a dagger and slashed it across his fingers, dripping blood into the magic circle.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to detain me? Ha?"
"Of course, a spiritual body that has not even reached the third era dares to appear in front of me! In short, let's take you into custody according to the method taught by Master Quilakiri! Go back and wait for the master to leave!"
"Not even in the Third Era?"
A trace of doubt appeared in the voice, and after a silence, he sighed:
"So that's it. This is the magic that pulls the spirit of the birth, not the dead. There is no body, the source of magic that allows me to appear here-"
He looked at Sitramina who was lying on the ground.
"Is it this little girl? Forget it, that's it. I didn't think about using this opportunity to compete with that prince."
"It's too late! The spirits of ordinary people will not be summoned by this magic circle. Since you have been summoned, there must be ghosts. I don't care whether you are a monster or something else. Since you have appeared in front of me, don't leave so easily!"
Kuku was about to chant the spell, but at this moment, Bjorn reached out to stop him. Looking at the human figure gradually emerging in the flames, his eyes were filled with confusion:
"Ivar...Brother? Is it really you?"
Kuku was shocked when he heard this. After looking closely, the flames had gradually faded, and the appearance of the man exposed from it was indeed somewhat similar to Bjorn.
Ivar came out of the bath of flames. It was the first time since Bjorn remembered that Ivar walked on his legs. He saw Ivar had a facial contour similar to his memory father, especially his nose, which seemed to be carved from a mold.
"Brother? It's really you? Why are you here?"
Ivar curled his lips and showed a strange smile that Bjorn couldn't understand.
"My smart brother, your waste brother cannot enter the Valhalla because of his legs. He can only wander in the wild. By the way, let's take a look at my only living brother."
"The Temple of Valhalla?" Bjorn took it seriously, "Is there really a Temple of Valhalla? Are the father, second brother and third brother, all there?"
"I don't know. I haven't been in, how can I know?" Ivar slowly approached Bjorn, "But, Bjorn, do you think your conduct can enter the Valhalla?"
In front of Ivar, Bjorn fell into a long silence. Ivar came to Bjorn and wanted to pat Bjorn on the shoulder with his hand, but at the moment when he was about to touch Bjorn, he realized something and quickly pulled his hand back, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Bjorn kept thinking, not paying attention to Ivar's actions. After a long time, he finally spoke, "I... I'm afraid I can't get in."
Ivar laughed again.
"Yes, Bjorn, you are not very smart like me. What do you think you are missing?"
"At the beginning, what I lacked was strength. The Island Kingdom could not tolerate me, so I could only go out to sea and came to Aztland accidentally. I met Master Quilakiree here, and used the latest shipbuilding technology of the Pirate Kingdom as an exchange, and learned some of the sword skills of the sword clan, as well as other knowledge I thought were useful. Under the guidance of the master, I learned to restrain my impulses and deal with problems calmly. I relied on my magic and the status of Master Quilakiree, and gained a certain position..."
Bjorn told his experiences over the years like a cannon. He never found anyone to tell these words.
"Now...now, all I lack is performance."
"Realization? What kind of performance do you want?"
"First of all, revenge for your father, for you, for the other two brothers..."
"Bjorn, I am your elder brother. Don't talk about these scenes to me." Ivar interrupted with a sneer, "You don't like your father, and you don't like your two older brothers either. Compared to them, Hestein may be closer to you. Tell me honestly, what do you want to do?"
This sentence shocked Bjorn's pupils.
"I'm seen through by you, my brother... I don't actually care about revenge or something. But I want to do my own business, whether it's my father or Brother Hestein, I don't want to be inferior to them anymore."
"You feel that you have enough strength and don't want to be inferior to others anymore, and then you want to do your own business."
Ivar shook his head, as if he was quite helpless. Suddenly, he curled his smile and shouted sternly:
