Chapter 537 Look, anxious again!

The temple of Thor is called "Bilskvabir", a glittering palace, commonly known as the "Temple of Thunder". It is located next to Valhalla, the Hall of Valor, and is built of gold and gems. The gate of the palace is open, emitting a mysterious light.

The walls of the Temple of Thunder are inlaid with precious gems, the roof is made of pure gold, and the interior is full of mystery and magic, with magnificent decorations and carvings. There are gorgeous metal sculptures and reliefs in the palace, the floor is paved with gorgeous gems, and the pillars are carved with images of Thor fighting bravely with the giants.

In addition, the palace has numerous rooms and halls, and the courtyard has mysterious pools and fountains, which are cast with solid magic and look magnificent.

However, since Thor often held many grand banquets and ceremonies in his temple, the temple was extremely large and the design was quite complex. Lorne, who came to visit, was unable to find his good brother's bedroom for a while, but instead came to a vibrant garden.

In the garden, three heads with blonde, pink and black hair were huddled together, with their hips raised, working hard to weed the garden.

"Slud, Hirud, Otlinde?"

Loen walked forward and looked at the three familiar Valkyries with some surprise.

"Lord Loki, why are you here?"

Slude quickly stood up with the other two, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, wanting to meet his boss in the best possible manner.

However, Slud undoubtedly inherited the rough lines of his father Thor.

She completely forgot that her hands were covered in mud. Not only did wiping them fail to tidy up her appearance, but they left a few smear marks on her face that looked like cat whiskers, which made Lorne laugh.

It was not until Hilde and Ortlinde beside him reminded him that Slud finally reacted. He looked embarrassed and hurriedly attracted moisture to wash off the funny dirt on his hands and face.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Lorne took the initiative to ask:

"By the way, you guys are here?"

"They came to see me."

Before Slude could speak, a soft yet gentle voice came from the corner of the corridor.

A tall, fit, mature and plump beautiful woman came out of the shadows carrying a pot of honey water.

Her eyes are clear emerald green, like flowing water waves, revealing quietness and peace; her skin is as white as jade, with a faint luster; and the most eye-catching thing is her dazzling golden hair, like ripe wheat ears and pure gold, flowing from the top of her head to her ankles.

I see……

Luo En's eyes flashed with understanding, and he asked with a smile:

"I suppose you are Sif? Slud's mother?"

"Hello, Lord Loki. Thank you for taking care of my child."

Sif nodded slightly, then breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"With you here, I can rest assured that I will accept this matter."

"What?"

"I'm going to fight on behalf of the Valkyrie Corps and have a sparring match with the new Valkyrie you brought with you. They said it was your idea, so they came to invite me."

"Ah?" Lorne was stunned.

Then the two parents, with suspicious expressions on their faces, looked at each other and looked somewhere quietly.

"stop!"

Slude and the other two who were tiptoeing towards the door suddenly froze and stopped.

"Come back and tell me what happened."

The three of them turned around dejectedly and explained the whole story honestly.

It was because the Valkyries were not convinced after being beaten up by Skordi, so they instigated Slud to ask her biological mother Sif to come out and get back the face for the Valkyrie Legion.

Hearing this, Loen suddenly remembered that Thor's wife, Sif, the goddess of fertility and nature among the twelve main gods, had also served in the Valkyrie Legion and was considered a member of the Valkyrie Legion.

The current nine Valkyrie captains were all overthrown by Shikoti, an outsider, so it was reasonable for her, as a senior, to come forward and seek revenge.

However, Shikoti is not an ordinary troublemaker, but one of the three goddesses of Norn.

In terms of divine power and divinity alone, Skodil can even compete with Odin and Frigga.

If a real fight breaks out, Sif, the main god of nature, may not win, but there is a great possibility that she will be defeated.

Therefore, Slude's request for help this time may not only fail to save the Valkyrie Legion, but also harm his own mother.

But if they want to stop here, neither Shikoti, who is in high spirits, nor the Valkyries, who are angry, would be willing to do so.

Luo En thought for a moment and said:

"I do intend to have the Valkyrie Corps and the newcomers I brought with me compete with each other to improve each other's enemy skills, but it will not be one match, but three."

"Three games?" Sif looked surprised.

"Well, in addition to the current Shikulud, she has two older sisters who are also very powerful." Loen explained in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Slude and the other two looked unhappy.

Just one Poetic Rud was able to knock down all nine Valkyrie captains. If there were two more, wouldn't she be able to overthrow the Valkyrie Legion?

Besides, where can they find so many experts to support them?

"Don't worry, I already have a rough candidate in mind. When Odin comes back in a few days, I will formally propose to him."

Lorne smiled and dispelled everyone's doubts.

In addition to Sif, Freya can also play, and the last one is naturally Brunhilde who was exiled by Odin.

Two main gods, plus a Valkyrie instructor, are considered the strongest lineup that the Valkyrie Legion can come up with, and are more suitable for a three-on-three fight with the three goddesses of Norn.

Witnessing the fighting between masters in person would definitely greatly enhance the combat skills of those young Valkyries.

At the same time, this can also establish his authority as the commander-in-chief and pave the way for Shi Koti, the second-in-command, to take office.

Moreover, we can take this opportunity to call back Brunhilde who is being punished.

All in all, it achieves three goals at one stroke.

As for face and winning or losing, that’s even simpler.

Belldandi and Urd are not as aggressive as Skodil, and they don't care about winning or losing. Let them face the two main gods Sif and Freya in a symbolic friendly match.

Brunhilde needs to make some sacrifices to face the toughest Skadi.

The nine Valkyrie captains were all kneeling in the collective fight, so it was not shameful for her to lose.

At this moment, although Slude and the other two did not understand what Loen was planning, out of trust in their superior, they still nodded obediently and agreed to restrain the Valkyries recently and not to cause trouble for Shikoti for the time being.

"So, why did you come to the Thunder God Temple?" Sif asked with a frown.

"Free meal!" Loen answered confidently.

But when Sif heard that the other party had made this trip because they had set their sights on the sacred sheep that pulled their cart, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Soon, she ordered the maid to pull back the two sacred sheep from the backyard, and she personally took her husband Thor's hammer, smashed the two sacred sheep to death, and then skinned and removed the tendons and internal organs.

Based on the smooth technique, Loen guessed that the goddess of fertility had secretly attacked the two sacred sheep many times.

"Let me borrow the kitchen. I'll be the one cooking today. Also, the three of you should stay here and come taste my cooking together!"

After saying this, Loen took the washed and peeled mutton and walked into his own battlefield.

Since Thor often holds banquets in his own temple, the kitchen is well stocked with a wide range of ingredients and cooking utensils.

It only took Loen two hours to prepare a table full of delicious dishes.

The rich aroma filled the air, making everyone salivate.

However, before everyone sat down to eat, a burly figure smelled the food and rushed out from the backyard like lightning, complaining bitterly:

"Okay, you have something delicious but you didn't call me?"

"Thor? Weren't you beaten by Odin so hard that you couldn't get out of bed and have been recuperating ever since?"

Looking at his cheap brother in front of him, whose face was ruddy and lively, Loen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Nonsense! If I don't lie down, the old man will be so angry that he will beat me again, right?"

While answering unhappily, Thor twisted off a leg of lamb from the crispy outside and tender inside roasted whole lamb, and ate it with hearty mouth, not looking like a wounded person at all.

Seeing this, Loen couldn't help but laugh.

I have to say that Thor is quite clever in some aspects.

Seeing that someone had already started, Loen took Slude and the other two and sat down to eat.

Jörmungandr even jumped directly onto the dining table, with pink tentacles extending from his mouth, sweeping across the delicious food on the plate like a whirlwind.

Thanks to Loen's cooking skills, every diner praised the food and was very satisfied. They only finished their meal reluctantly when they felt full to the maximum.

However, when it came to the part of resurrecting the sacred goat after the meeting, Thor looked at the skeleton with missing arms and legs and flew into a rage. He grabbed the culprit beside him, grabbed his neck, and shook him madly:

"Spit it out! Spit it out, you dead cat!"

Jörmungandr held to the principle that what he ate was his and refused to comply. He even bit Thor back when he was shaken so hard.

Of course, no toxins were injected.

"Dare to bite me! I'll fight you!"

Thor picked up the hammer of Thor, turned into lightning, and chased Jörmungandr around the yard.

Thus, a grand banquet came to an end with the shouting and chasing between a man and a cat.

~~

The next morning.

As soon as Loen woke up, he sensed an obscure and familiar divine aura passing through the rainbow bridge and heading straight for his temple.

"Loki, my good brother, haha, you finally come back!"

An old man wearing a pointed hat, a cloak and a black eye patch on his left eye broke through the door and gave Loen a warm hug.

Seeing that familiar old face, Lorne was a little surprised:

"Odin? Didn't you go to Utgar City? Why are you back so soon?"

"As soon as I heard you were back in the palace, I couldn't sit still. I came right away!"

"What about the peace talks?"

"No rush, let's leave them alone for two days. Besides, Laofei is the only one willing to give in. The Giant Nation is not completely united in opinion right now, so it's better to wait a little longer."

Odin said, shaking off the frost on his cloak, grabbing Lorne's shoulders, and laughing,

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Come on, follow me to the Golden Palace. We're going to get drunk today!"

Without waiting for Loen to object, Odin dragged his blood brother towards the Golden Palace.

As soon as they sat down, maids in gorgeous costumes came in one after another, serving delicious food and honey wine one by one, warming up the atmosphere.

Then, the Queen of Gods Frigga, dressed in a plain long dress, came on stage personally and poured wine for the guest, Lorne.

Although he knew that this high-standard treatment might have the suspicion that the couple was acting as him together, Luo En couldn't help but feel a little flattered when he was there. He coughed lightly and said,

"Well, I also brought you gifts when I came back this time."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Frigga smiled softly, but didn't care too much.

As the queen of gods whose status is second only to Odin, she rules over the nine realms. She has seen countless rare treasures and it is difficult for her to be impressed by external things.

Lorne didn't say much. He pulled the sleeping Jörmungandr off his shoulder and patted the cat's head.

"Spit it out!"

Jörmungandr blinked, trying to get away with it.

However, under the coercion of the new keeper, it finally surrendered in frustration. After opening its mouth and dry heaving for a while, a wisp of golden flame floated out of its stomach, condensing into a fist-sized ball, floating quietly in front of the three people.

The flame seemed to have no temperature at all. Frigga curiously reached out and touched it, only to feel a warmth like the sun:

"This is?"

"The Eternal Fire, the treasure of the Fire Giants, is one of the two great sources of divinity in the Nordic Age of Gods. I spent a lot of effort to find this thing in the Fire Kingdom."

As Lorne spoke, his tone was filled with emotion.

He searched for the [Eternal Fire] hundreds of times but found nothing, until the three goddesses of Norn personally launched the [Divination of Fate] and dug this thing out from the Fire Kingdom.

But after the battle between him and the three goddesses of Norn, he found that the Eternal Fire had disappeared, and the three-bend rune array responsible for the seal was destroyed by the claw marks of some animal.

There is no doubt that the culprit is Jörmungandr.

This mean cat eats everything. While they were away, it destroyed the magic circle and swallowed up most of the source of the Eternal Fire.

The Norse Age of Gods is a world nurtured by [Ice] and [Fire]. [Eternal Fire] is one of the two origins of creation. It is impossible for Lorne to stuff Jörmungandr into his stomach as a snack.

So, today I'm offering this flower to Odin and Frigga.

"This gift is too precious. We..."

The two were about to refuse, but Luo En raised his hand slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"I heard that the creation of the Child of Prophecy has not made any progress yet?"

Odin and Frigga looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

It’s strange to say, since the two got married and slept together for hundreds of years, Frigga’s belly never got bigger.

The "Son of Light" that they had longed for had not yet been born.

Although it is said that the more powerful a life form is, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring, but seeing her husband hitting the target with every shot outside and killing many people with his lovers, and not succeeding once when it was her turn as the legal wife, Frigga could not help but be very depressed, and she even lost confidence in her own power of creation.

"Warner's power of life is rooted in another world, and may not be accepted in Northern Europe. Why not try this?"

Loen held the eternal fire in his hand and said thoughtfully,

"【Flame】 is also 【light】."

Odin and Frigga were shocked when they heard this, and immediately understood the purpose of Lorne's gift. They took the [Eternal Fire] in their arms as if they had found a treasure.

Patting Lorne's shoulder heavily, Odin's old face showed less calculation and more sincerity from the heart:

"Thanks, brother!"

"Don't thank me, thank it."

Lorne mentioned Jörmungandr and gave the credit to the cat, hoping to secretly ease the relationship between the Aesir and the three evil beasts of destruction and delay the arrival of Ragnarok as much as possible.

Only if there is enough time can he launch a war of gods with the Irish-Celts before the arrival of [Ragnarok], gather enough sacrifices, give birth to [The Reality of Destiny], and complete subsequent plans.

"Okay! I've got that in mind! But your share won't be missing either! When I'm done with my work here, I'll definitely give you a big gift!"

Odin Lang replied with a smile, then glanced at Frigga behind him and coughed slightly.

"Is that enough for today's drinks?"

Really impatient.

Luo En laughed and cursed secretly, then pondered:

"Okay, you guys go ahead, I just need to go down to the lower world to do something."

"Leaving again?" Odin was caught off guard.

"The Valkyrie Corps is going to hold a competition soon, and I want to bring Brunhilde along as well. After all, I taught her a lot of martial arts and magic on the way to the underworld, and I can take this rare opportunity to check her teaching results."

“It’s my duty!”

Odin heaved a sigh of relief and laughed loudly.

"Let my raven take you there. It knows the way."

Having obtained the desired result, Lorne nodded happily, and then followed the raven summoned by Odin to the Rainbow Bridge transfer station.

Watching his blood brother walk away, a subtle smile appeared on Odin's old face.

Brunhilde had just committed another crime and was locked up somewhere as punishment.

The situation in that place is a bit special, and I hope my brother will like it.
