My Mythical Fleet

In the darkest era, he ignited the prairie fire. Facing the strongest enemies, he fought alone. Some call him a warlord of chaotic times, while others see him as a benevolent minister who saves the...

Chapter 14 Loki

Chen Jing couldn't bring himself to meet the treacherous God of Wisdom's gaze, so he asked, "So, my reward is gone?" It seemed Loki, while not known for his cruelty, was not exactly a bad temper. The God of Mischief had quite a few jokes, but Chen Jing didn't dare to say that in public. "Is your life too long?"

"Are you leaving tonight?" Chen Jing asked.

Loki sneered, "Oh, you're so eager to send me away right after I got here?"

As a person involved in the cultural circle, even if it is the outermost circle, I know something about Loki. He is the king of Nordic memes, the king of big talk, the god of mischief, and every one of his children is not a human being. He is a model worker in the early stage and a villain in the later stage. Half of the Ragnarok was caused by him.

But it was difficult to connect these with the cold-faced heroic beauty in front of him. Putting aside other things, although Chen Jing was a coward, people's patience had its limits. What was too much to bear?

"Where's my reward? You can't do this!" He almost knelt down.

Loki shook his head, "I can't get those things back either." As he said this, he saw Chen Jing's face gradually turn pale. After all, she was not a devil. She continued to argue, "But I have a better gift. Ask your people to fetch two ox horn containers."

"Two horns?" Chen Jing was stunned. What kind of counting unit is that? How do I know what kind of cow you are talking about?

Seeing Chen Jing confused, Loki nodded: "Probably as much as your two heads."

"There's no strange liquid entering my head! There's no extra water!" Ninety percent of the human brain is water. To say there's no water at all is a lie, but to say it's hydrocephalus is a laugh.

Loki covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, looking full of charm. She took the glass from RT5, shook it, and said, "Later, drop the contents of this into your soldiers' mouths drop by drop. Each person can only take one drop. Any more and they will die."

"Even Omnics can't do that?"

"It's because it's an omnic that it can only drip one drop. Otherwise, even direct contact with someone like you would be dangerous."

Chen Jing became curious: "What is it?"

"This." Loki took out a black dagger, cut his wrist with one knife, and let the golden blood flow quickly into the glass.

Chen Jing raised his eyebrows. This was no small matter. Divine blood was a very high-end commodity in most myths.

And although Loki didn't say it, Chen Jing knew that the dagger she just used was probably not an ordinary object. Otherwise, according to the defensive power displayed by Fenrir, an ordinary dagger would not be able to penetrate the defense at all.

When the blood had almost reached the brim of the bottle, Loki wiped the wound with his other hand, and the wound disappeared.

She handed the glass to RT5, then looked at the Messenger and the Silver Knight. "You two are the leaders, right?"

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Chen Jing couldn't help but smile.

"Don't laugh. The leader is very important. He will be your right-hand man in the future. I thought of my children... Let's not talk about those annoying things for now. You have to know that Odin has a Valkyrie captain, two stupid dogs and a nonsense bird, Frigga has a maid clone, and even Nidhogg has some snake kings. You will also be a man who will fight on the battlefield in the future. It is impossible to do everything by yourself. You must understand the decentralization and checks and balances, compromise and deterrence. Politics is nothing more than a game of thrones." I feel that there are too many evil myths.

"Then what should I do?" This was also Chen Jing's first time in battle, and it would be great if Loki could teach him some things.

"Well, first we need to separate the leaders from the group. The method is very simple, which is to strengthen them, for example... feeding them golden apples?" As she spoke, she was at a loss for words.

There definitely weren't any high-end items near where Chen Jing was. "Can you help me get it?" Chen Jing remembered that it was guarded by the goddess of youth, Eden.

Loki shook his head: "Dream on! If you do that, Odin will fight you to the death."

Chen Jing smacked his lips and nodded: "What should we do then?"

Loki waved his hand: "I do have it, but you have to promise me one thing."

Chen Jing thought to himself, what do I have that is worth your attention? He said, "Sure."

"I want to... I'll talk to them once I've thought about it. Now I'll give them the things first."

Loki took out two boxes, handed one to the Silver Knight and the other to the Messenger.

"Your request is a mount. This is my child. Treat it well. Then I will replace the rags on your body with the armor inside. I asked a craftsman to make it. It has regular protection." The Silver Knight nodded.

Loki looked at the messenger again. "This is a counterfeit of the Sword of Victory, but it's not much worse than the original. Also, it has the power of wind. The bow I made doesn't need arrows. Draw the bow and it's like setting up a cannon."

"Then what is this?" The Silver Knight took out a bull horn with a cover on it.

Loki took a look and said, "It's from Mimir. Just drink it."

"...Fountain of Wisdom?"

"The diluted version. He said it was a gift for meeting you. It's useless if you drink it anyway, so I gave it to them."

Chen Jing was stunned. "Can such an important thing be given away so casually? Are you gods so rich?"

"The spring water will flow back even if it dies. Odin needs sacrifices mainly because of his purpose. Mimir makes things difficult for her as a test, and you are an outsider, so it doesn't matter." Loki said as a matter of course.

"Is that so?" Chen Jing was a little confused.

Nodding firmly: "Yes, that's right."

Chen Jing was puzzled, feeling that something was not right. Why were you so nice to me? But the downside of being lazy is that when you need to use your brain too much, you tend to give up easily. "Forget it, never mind. Thank you."

The treacherous God of Wisdom smiled: "It doesn't matter. Sooner or later we will need your help too."

"I will definitely help you." Anyway, there is nothing I can do.

Then, the messenger pulled out a black scale cloak from inside: "What is this?"

"A cloak made of Nidhogg's scales. It provides long-term invisibility and excellent defense."

The Silver Knight pulled out a golden spear: "What is this?"

"I got Odin's stuff on the spot."

Chen Jing looked at the increasing amount of things on the two people, and his expression became increasingly strange: "Did each of you prepare a gift for me?"

"They have nothing better to do. You're the only human being they can normally communicate with in hundreds of years. They're really frustrated."

"Other humans? I remember you taking in human warriors? And even attending banquets and stuff."

"As soon as your divine body was revealed, they changed their faces so quickly. Besides, anything is not pure when it comes to interests. It's better to communicate with you as a person. We don't have any relationship with each other, and we are not afraid that you will harm us."

"Do I look harmless?"

"No, you look stupid."

It’s Loki, the king of big talk.
