Adrian teleported to the Northern Continent as this was the location that Frey told him to meet up. It is at the western tip of the northern continent where the inhabitants are more in the style of Vikings. She was very popular here as this was actually the location where she first started her adventure in Pandemonium.
She was not sent to the central continent like the others as she got a special item called the Valkyrie's Girdle when she was at the start of the game. She did not think anything strange to what happened to her until she read some blogs. Still, she made a name for herself in this town and is actually one of the leading figures here.
The town is called Frost Landing and is actually the base of operations for the Valkyries, but they were not there. Frey asked all the townspeople on any clues on the location of her sisters but even they did not know where they were. The Valkyries actually protected this town from any powerful monsters which is why the townspeople is also endeared to them.
The fact that the Valkyries, or the group they call themselves as which is Northern Lights, is not in town. The security of the town could be handled by the warriors as they were also trained when the Valkyries go out to hunt. Still, the warriors or those that can fight that are present in town cannot handle massive threats and monster hordes like the Valkyries can.
Adrian arrived at Frost Landing, and he was immediately told to provide evidence of his character. He did not know that the town was this strict since it is out in frosted land but at least he was not turned away just because he was a demon. He actually found that refreshing as other human kingdoms in the central continent would immediately call for security when they see him.
"My friend is actually here. Her name is Frey, and she will come for me. I am Equinox of the Daemos. Should that greeting suffice?" Adrian stated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two guards have a puzzled look as Adrian was clearly male, and Frey usually only hangs out with women. The two guards cannot gauge the strength that Adrian has but he was not being a mess. Since Adrian was behaving, the guards did not push him further as he did say that Frey was coming for him.
"They might look burly and ready for war, but they are actually the most civil human settlement that I have been to. Then again, I have only been to few human settlements in my demon look." Adrian thought as Frey came for him after he told her that he was at the gate.
The guards immediately greeted Frey with a smile and let Adrian pass through when she vouched for him. The guards could even be heard having a somewhat friendlier tone towards Adrian. They did not even mind that Adrian was not human, but the northern continents is very diverse as well.
Frey led Adrian to a small shack where the sign read Northern Lights. This was the hideout or rather the place where the Valkyries stayed when they have nothing to do. Usually, the Valkyries would jump from world to world when they are given mission, but this was the first time that they did not return after a long time.
"Could they have not been busy? It might have been that they are fighting a tactical opponent and they needed a long time to plan out how to engage." Adrian stated as he heard from Frey that they have been gone for at least two months.
"If that was the case then they would have called for me or gave a letter that they will be gone. Usually, I get the letter in a week or two, but this is the first time that I have not gotten anything in two months. I can barely feel the divine energy of the Goddess Freyja as well." Frey stated.
"If this involves the goddess then I do not know if I can actively participate because I am the Champion of the Twin Gods. Any action on my end would also entail the stance of the Church of the Twin Gods and the Twin Gods themselves. It is also one of the reasons why I have not bothered to listen to the requests of the humans." Adrian stated.
This is not the first time that Adrian has dealt with something involving gods. There are some nobles that wanted to have him guest in some events, but he knew that they only wanted the prestige of the representative of the Twin Gods. It is not just Adrian that is like this but also Levin Cloud as they are beings that could commune with the Twin Gods themselves.
The two understands that they are living representations of the Twin Gods in the mortal realm even though there are two prophets for the Twin Gods. The two prophets are still children which is why Adrian and Levin Cloud often attend official matters or the elders attend in their stead. Also, any matters involving gods should be assessed with great detail as any action against or with another god will have an impact on the Church of the Twin Gods.
"I actually forgot about that. It is just that we might need to go to another world, and I need your help with that. It might also have something to do with the God Loki." Frey stated.
Adrian remembered the God Loki as he was the one that restricted his strength to that of a demigod. Adrian could easily restrain him because of the numerous restrictions on his body before but that will not be the case if he can have the strength of a lesser god. The God Loki is also incredibly furious at him as well and it is to the point that he will get killed if they meet once more.
"If it is that guy then I might be able to help you. We already have an irredeemable relationship so there is nothing wrong on my end. Also, he was also the reason why I had to work double time which made me level slower. I am actually one boss monster away from getting level 300." Adrian stated as he cursed at the God Loki for unleashing the Distorted God Apophis.
"Ok then. I am thanking you now for your help in advance. Let me discuss the details first then. You do know of Nordic Mythology…yes?" Frey asked.
"I am somewhat aware, but it might be different in Pandemonium so please enlighten me." Adrian stated in a rather young and fresh tone which looked cute in the eyes of Frey.

Meanwhile in the living room…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He is smooth and is using his charm well." Adrian's mother stated as she actually wanted to check what her son was up to in his gaming pod. It was her past time to see her son enjoying adventures.
"He is still quite slow, and it is all his natural charm that is doing the work. What can I say when he takes after me that is full of natural charm." Adrian's father stated.
The two discussed what their son was going through as Mina filled them in that Adrian was having a crush on a girl. They were not against it as their son was already old enough to date. They raised him well which is why they believe that he would be respectful and responsible.
"Anyways, why don't we have cuddling of our own." Adrian's father stated as he winked at his wife and carried her to their room.

Frey discussed that the Nordic Gods believe in the concept of the Yggdrasil or the Tree of Life. Unlike the elves though, they believe that the Tree of Life can actually connect nine worlds. In fact, the nine worlds that are connected to the tree of life are just fragmented worlds from the original world which is Pangea.
They call the world Nebulon as Midgard as it sits in the center of the other worlds. It is also a world that connects the other eight worlds together. The Nordic Gods have factions as well called the Aesir and the Vanir, but they were only given factions depending on their nature.
"Then you need me to help you activate the portal to the other world?" Adrian asked.
"I also need your strength as well since it might be a difficult task. We will retreat if it is out of our league though. I shall also compensate you with a legendary tier armor as your guild members said that you are looking for one." Frey stated.
Adrian only needs one more legendary armor in order to upgrade his current armor to Legendary Tier. It seems that his guild members have started to talk about him and his worries when the other guilds interacted with them. He does want the legendary tier armor though as he wants to upgrade his armor due to him getting greater damage.
