Training and Coordination
Fran stretched out her arms in a gesture of hugging, but after hearing her words, Bai Mo turned to leave. Since this guy was temporarily stable, Bai Mo didn't intend to bother with her.
Like an uncontrollable explosive, the best option is to leave it as it is.
"How ruthless~ But that's what makes it challenging." As he spoke, Fran flicked his finger, sending a drop of blood toward Bai Mo. The drop of blood stopped in front of Bai Mo as if a pause button had been pressed.
In the air, the drop of blood grew like a tree, eventually forming a communication Magecraft spell.
"Just kidding. After all, with you here, how could I possibly sit down there? Leave your phone number, just so you don't forget..."
Fran tugged at the silk hoop around his neck, a familiar smile on his face.
"If you don't hold my collar tight, I might not be able to resist giving you a happy surprise where you can't see me, darling."
Walking across the green grass, Bai Mo returned to his house. Looking at the carefree ordinary people below, he shook his head. Living in the age of gods, in some ways, was truly unfortunate.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
As Bai Mo approached her wooden cabin, she saw that familiar figure. A gust of wind blew off Ortlinde's white hood, and her battle skirt fluttered in the wind. Seeing Bai Mo return, she happily jogged over.
"Is there something you need, Ortlinde?"
Ortlinde scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"Um, I have a favor to ask... Could I move my house next to yours? That would make feeding Gullfaxi much more convenient."
The house where Bai Mo was located, although similar in structure to Valkyrie's, was closer to the sapphire lake, making it a very beautiful spot and also the place with the most abundant fodder.
Ortlinde lowered her head, but soon she received the answer she wanted.
"Okay, this way I can easily guide you on the application of Magnetic Field Power and how to work with Gullfaxi in the future. We're going out on an operation tomorrow, and I expect there will be a bunch of Fafnir with us. We'll be counting on you then."
"Okay, okay, I'll go and bring Gullfaxi right away."
Before Bai Mo could ask what was in her hut, Ortlinde left happily. Then Bai Mo saw a small wooden hut walking towards her.
A day passed, during which Ortlinde hardly left her horse. As night fell, she lay panting on the grass, covered in sweat.
"Phew... finally... it worked."
"To be able to achieve this level of application in such a short time is already quite impressive."
Having maintained high-intensity training, Ortlinde was completely exhausted. With a wave of her hand, Bai Mo used Magnetic Field Power to erase her muscle fatigue.
As the physical fatigue vanished like dew in the sunlight, Ortlinde couldn't help but sigh.
"What incredible power!"
"Well, generally speaking, once your strength reaches 750,000 horsepower, you can basically control the material world at will."
Upon hearing Bai Mo's explanation, Ortlinde turned to look at Gullfaxi, but the magnificent steed turned its head away and let out two snorts.
"It's just a horse, after all; we can't expect too much from it."
Seemingly understanding Ortlinde's meaning, Bai Mo chuckled and explained, "The moonlight is bright; although it's an illusory moon created by Skadi, it still shines with a serene white light."
"In that case, let's make the most of this last bit of time to practice."
Ortlinde mustered her courage and stood up, but was met with a blow from Bai Mo's finger sword that landed on her forehead.
"No, that's enough for today's training. I can recover from physical fatigue, but not mental fatigue. I need to take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep to be in top condition for tomorrow's battle."
Bai Mo's words were calm, yet they carried an undeniable sternness.
Ortlinde nodded and got up to return to her cottage. Walking in the moonlight, with a gentle breeze blowing, she looked at the two small wooden houses side by side and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"I'm going to rest now. Bai Mo, you should go to sleep early too. Even if you have the energy, make sure you get enough sleep."
The girl waved goodbye and went into her room.
"Okay, let's prepare some hot water first. I wonder if Bai Mo needs it..."
Thinking this, Ortlinde opened the backyard of her wooden house, but what came into view was not her small, flat area, but a steaming hot spring surrounded by a bamboo fence.
"Huh? When?"
She recalled Bai Mo's words: once one's power reaches 750,000 units, one can freely manipulate ordinary matter. Before, she had only thought it was impressive, but when this power was truly displayed before her eyes, she couldn't help but swallow hard.
"That's amazing..."
The nights here are peaceful, allowing one to fall asleep quickly. No matter how great the danger one encounters outside, here one can always find rest to heal one's exhaustion, just like Valhalla in the past.
The next day, Ortlinde and Bai Mo, full of energy, had a quick breakfast and then went to the door that had previously connected them to the outside world. This time, a figure was already standing there.
"Sigurd?"
Bai Mo looked at the dragon slayer who was resting with his eyes closed. The latter nodded when he saw Bai Mo and the other person.
"Thanks to your defeat of Hrungnir, we don't need to worry about safety here for the time being. This time, the opponent is a dragon, right? Well, I'm quite adept at dealing with that."
I am accompanying you on this journey at the command of my Master and the goddess Skadi. Please take care of me.
