The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 981 - 82: Where Do You Think You’re Running, Adulterer! (6.8k combined)

Among these villagers, there were not only Mountain Giants under Scadi’s rule, but also Frost Giants, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans... and even a few Magic Beasts possessed of Wisdom and intellect, along with some half-breeds disdained by various races.

Seeing Scadi driving the chariot forward, the villagers with their diverse backgrounds approached one after another, some bowing respectfully, others cheering and greeting:

"Good morning, Lady Scadi."

"Lady Scadi, you’re here? I just gathered some top-notch honey from the forest, when will you come over to my place? I will host you personally."

"The fruits in the orchard are ripe this year, I’ll bring you a few baskets when you return to the castle, for you to taste."

"..."

Amidst these words, faces young and old, of various skin colors, revealed genuine smiles.

Scadi slowed down the chariot, patiently nodding and responding to each greeting.

Although this indifferent Winter Goddess still maintained a stern demeanor, her gestures exuded a sense of relaxation and comfort, starkly different from the constant tension in the castle.

It seems, this was her true home.

Seeing such a complex community appear in Giant Country, Luo En felt waves of surprise and couldn’t help casting an inquisitive glance at Scadi, asking:

"What’s all this about?"

"The space of the Nine Great Kingdoms is unstable, people often get sucked into spatial rifts and end up in Giant Country. Without external help, most of them wouldn’t survive more than a few days, either falling prey to wandering Giants and Magic Beasts as food, or being buried by heavy snow, dying of cold and hunger. I pity them, so in such cases, I usually pick them up and settle them in a safer place. Gradually, this settlement was formed."

Scadi replied in an even tone, clearly not taking these matters too heavily to heart.

But after hearing this, Luo En couldn’t help but feel deep respect for this Winter Goddess.

In the harsh conditions of the Nordic God Era, it is already admirable to be just and fair without abusing power; those who carry good intentions and are willing to act on them are even rarer; and someone like Scadi, who not only saves her fellow Giants but also impartially reaches out to help wandering outsiders, is truly extraordinary. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

However, Luo En remembered that when Dwarf Country faced the Dragon Disaster, Scadi had also reached out to help voluntarily, seeking nothing in return but guided by her conscience, and he felt somewhat relieved.

Clearly, Scadi wasn’t pretending anything; she inherently possessed a simple sense of justice and a pride that the strong should protect the weak.

She was unexpectedly endearing.

Luo En smiled amusedly, curiously observing the interaction between Scadi and the villagers.

Due to the crowd of villagers who came to welcome her, the road was almost blocked, so Scadi had to park the chariot outside the village and continued on foot with Luo En.

They hadn’t walked far when a human teenage girl around fourteen or fifteen years old, with golden hair and green eyes, wearing a black headband and a green dress, squeezed through the crowd using her petite advantage, and cheerfully rushed into Scadi’s arms, giving the Winter Goddess a big hug:

"Sister Scadi, you finally came to visit us!"

Scadi didn’t mind this somewhat presumptuous address, instead lightly patting the girl’s head and explaining softly,

"There’s been some trouble in the Land of Chaos recently, I’ve been a bit busy. By the way, Gerd, how is your sister doing now?"

"Her illness has improved a lot, ever since waking up she’s been mentioning you, wanting to thank you in person. If you don’t mind, please come and visit our home."

The girl named "Gerd" answered solemnly, her rosy cheeks radiating sincere gratitude.

She and her sister were just ordinary daughters of a family in the Midgard World, their parents had died early due to poverty and cold. To survive, she had no choice but to lead her sister into the dangerous Iron Forest to gather mushrooms and wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

However, during one gathering, they encountered a spatial storm and were sucked into a spatial rift that appeared in the Iron Forest, ending up in Giant Country.

As physically frail human children, they hadn’t walked far when their bodies were frozen numb, and they also encountered a group of Magic Beasts, nearly meeting their end in the mouths of those beasts.

Fortunately, it happened that Scadi was driving her chariot out hunting at that time.

Scadi, seeing the human sisters in dire straits, rescued them and brought them to this village for settlement.

But due to the attack of the cold and the shocking encounter with the Magic Beasts, although Gerd’s younger sister survived, she fell seriously ill.

Fortunately, the village was full of talented people, and a Half-Elf doctor who had studied medicine stepped forward to treat Gerd’s sister, with Scadi also sending some medicinal materials for treatment and nourishment, allowing Gerd’s sister to recover from the danger.

Since then, the two young girls settled in the village, and have always wanted to thank their benefactor, Scadi.

At this enthusiastic invitation, Scadi nodded in agreement.

She then led Luo En, guided by Gerd, to a relatively low little wooden house.

As the door opened, another little girl around the age of ten, also with golden hair and green eyes, peeked her little head out.

Seeming to have just recovered, her face still held a sickness-induced paleness.

But upon seeing Scadi’s figure, she immediately perked up, surprised, and led the guests into the house, busily attending to them along with her sister Gerd:
