Chapter 1322 The Insidious Tideskorn King

When Garin stepped into Hedshar, his first impression was that it was ancient and rugged, very similar to Stromgarde before its renovation.

In fact, Heldashar was not the first city built by the Tideskorn clans in Stormheim.

After Tyr's death, their ancestors parted ways with the ancestors of mankind in order to seek protection from Odin, who was also a Titan guardian.

They came to Stormheim and established a settlement called Tideskorn Harbor in the north of Stormheim.

Unfortunately, this area is no safer than the mountains of Ulduar to the north due to Helya's brutality, and Tideskorn Harbor was destroyed by Helya.

Except for a small number of Vrykul scattered throughout Stormheim, most Vrykul chose to move away from the coast and move to the mountains to establish Heldrashar.

In order to remember Hela's hatred and to reclaim their former homeland, they changed their name to the Tideskorn Clan.

Many Vikus on the road stared at Garin curiously. They had seen the movement outside the city just now, and they were very surprised at this fellow Viku who was nearly one meter taller than ordinary Vikus.

When Igrov brought Garin to the largest building, there were already several Vikings waiting there.

"This is our king, Siskovald."

"This is Rune Lord Ragnar. He holds the same position as me and commands another group of Dekgard Knights in Hedashar."

With Igrov's introduction, Garin quickly got to know the top leaders of the Tideskorn Vrykul.

The God King carefully looked at this fellow who claimed to be from the Dragon-Reaver Clan, with a hint of hostility hidden deep in his eyes.

Garin did not notice the hostility of the shrewd God King, but what interested him most was the man called the God King, Skovald.

This guy played quite a few roles in later generations.

This guy has three older brothers. In order to become the ruler of Stormheim, the four brothers conspired to kill their father.

After that, a four-dragon fight ensued, and Skovald ultimately emerged victorious among the four brothers.

The most crucial thing is that this guy is the weakest of the four brothers. His victory has nothing to do with the bravery and bellicosity of the Vikus, but is entirely due to his cunning wisdom.

After becoming the king of a clan, this guy led the Vrykul under his command to defeat many small Vrykul clans, proclaimed himself the God-King and led the Tideskorn Clan to the peak.

Not only that, he passed Odin's trial by cheating, but he also followed the rules set by Odin during every trial, which shows his amazing wisdom.

It's a pity that he didn't use his skills in the right way. If there had been no intervention from Garen in this timeline, he would probably have joined the Burning Legion just like before.

After a few drinks, Jialin directly stated his purpose.

I originally thought it was just a notification, a formality, but I didn't expect that Skovald, the King of the Tideskorn, would look embarrassed.

"Dear guest from afar, you have arrived at the perfect time. The once-in-a-decade trial is about to begin. Unfortunately, our clan has already selected all the candidates for this round."

"If you want to join, you must defeat those candidate warriors and take their place!"

Quota?

Jialin was stunned. Who the hell limited the number of places?

Odin has his own spokesperson in the Broken Isles, the old Viking named Harvey. As long as you find him, you can start the trial.

Moreover, Odin wishes that as many people as possible would participate, so that the chances of someone passing would be higher.

After all, Odin was trapped in Valhalla by Hela, and the trial was the only way he had found to break the trap.

He painstakingly set up three tests, and only the strongest who passed the tests would have the chance to gain recognition from the artifact, the Shield of Aggramar.

With Odin and Valgara's army unable to escape, only the master of the Shield of Aggramar can lead the Vrykul to attack Hela's Hell Abyss, defeat Hela and lift the seal of Valhalla.

However, the idea is good, but no one can pass all the tests.

If the quality can’t keep up, we can make up for it with quantity. What if?

So Garin knew that Odin would not set a threshold for the number of people. The only possibility was that this insidious God King was targeting him.

If I hadn't thrown nails into Stormheim all these years in order not to alert Odin, would I still need you, a small member of the Tideskorn Clan, to help me find trial-takers?

snort!

What the hell!

If you open the nameplate at this time, I guess the health bar of this God King will be bright red, representing the enemy.

"Then let's hold a large-scale martial arts performance before the trial!"

Garin didn't care: "No matter if it's one-on-one or what the rules are, even if it's a match where I have to fight ten people, I'm fine with it!"

"Hmph! Arrogant!" Rune Lord Ragnar sneered in a low voice.

"I hope to see you in the arena tomorrow, Your Majesty." Garin retorted.

After saying that, he ignored the group of Miechao clan leaders, strode out of the hall, and went out of the city to find his men.

A few days later, Jialin received the notice and arrived as scheduled, this time he brought several subordinates with him.

Hedashar has its own training ground, located in the north of the city.

It is called a martial arts training ground, but in fact it is just a large sunken pit with a very simple layout. Only a row of sharp wood is inserted at the edge of the pit to separate the martial arts training ground from the audience.

To put it nicely, it's barbaric and primitive, but in reality it just means poverty.

Garin, who was used to seeing good things, curled his lips and went straight to the center of the arena.

"Warriors of the Vrykul! I..." Garin paused, "I am Olaf, the Storm Lord, the foremost warrior under the Dragonflayer King!"

The Vikus present exclaimed in surprise. It was obvious that the leaders of the Tidescourt Clan had not disclosed Garin's identity.

How famous is the Dragonflayer clan among the Vrykul?

You should know that the kingdom established by the Dragonflayer Clan was the last unified kingdom of the Vikings.

During the golden age of Ymiron's reign, almost all clans swore allegiance to him, and Ymiron also held the ancient horn in his hand.

This horn is equivalent to Thoradin's Strom'kar, a symbol of kingship recognized by all Vrykul.

"At the invitation of His Majesty Skovald, I will participate in this martial arts competition to prove my bravery."

"And I will participate in Odin's trial as the first warrior of the Vrykul people and gain the recognition of the artifact!"

After listening to the speech, many of the onlookers, including the Vikus, began to talk about it, and their loud voices made the entire training ground noisy.

As a result, Garin waited for a long time, but no so-called candidate was willing to be the first to come on stage.

Are you kidding? With a status more noble than anyone else and a strong body that is one meter taller than anyone else, anyone without any skills would get beaten up if they go up to him.

It is true that the Vikuls are tough, but they also respect the strong.

Olaf is the kind of warrior who is so strong that you can tell he is strong without even fighting.
