Chapter 520 Calling Brother-in-law
In front of the window, Jiang Shan sat on a very Asgard-style chair, holding a book called Asgard Geography in his hand, and slowly flipping through it.
The Asgardian language is naturally different from any language on Earth; the language they use in daily life is Asgardian, which evolved from runes.
Runes are a kind of words with extraordinary power that Odin comprehended after hanging himself upside down on the tree of wisdom for seven days and seven nights.
Kamar-Taj has some books on runes and Asgardians.
Jiang Shan has seen it.
For Jiang Shan, language is very simple; when people speak, they are expressing their ideas. When expressing their ideas, their spirits and emotions will fluctuate accordingly. Under similar or even the same emotional and mental fluctuations, different types of language spoken must have roughly the same meaning.
Through this rule, Jiang Shan can easily learn foreign languages.
But the text is different.
Words written in books are cold and hard to learn without comparison.
Fortunately, there is a kind of witchcraft that can extract the true meaning directly from the text. Jiang Shan learned Asgardian after extracting the true meaning of the text of several basic books on the bookshelf. After a while, he was able to read Asgard's books freely without the assistance of witchcraft.
The palace that Odin arranged for Jiang Shan to live in was fully equipped with various facilities; the study and the bookshelves were also filled with various books.
Of course, they are all books about humanities and common sense.
It's nice to read it when you have nothing to do, it's just like reading a story.
If you need anything, just shout - there are guards, servants and maids outside.
So Jiang Shan said that life in Asgard is very classical - according to their level of civilization, they must have technologies such as artificial intelligence, but they are obviously not applied to life.
Guards, attendants, and maids exist simply to highlight class, status differences, and to distinguish between people of high and low status and class.
For people who like to be superior, this must be very exciting, because there is a sense of pleasure in dominating others.
Jiang Shan was leisurely flipping through a book when he heard a commotion outside.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and a muscular man walked in with a hammer in his hand.
Jiang Shan closed the book, turned around and looked at him.
Thor was also looking at Jiang Shan, then he gestured and said, "Thin human, are you the distinguished guest that my father mentioned?"
He looked very arrogant, looking down at Jiang Shan who was sitting on the chair, and shouted: "The one standing in front of you is the prince of Asgard, the future God King of Asgard, the God of Thunder, the son of Odin, Thor! You should stand up, then kneel down and salute me!"
Thor is very tall.
In other words, the Asgardians are all very tall.
For example, Hela is 2.2 meters tall; Thor is a little taller than Hela, at least 2.25 meters if not 2.3 meters tall; even Sif is over 2 meters tall.
Among Asgard's civilians, the adult ones are all below 1.8 meters tall.
This guy is very strong. To say he is muscular is definitely not a derogatory term - Thor is wearing a suit of armor, but the armor cannot cover the muscular body bulging under the armor.
It was this expression and behavior that made Jiang Shan frown.
Compared with the Thor who had experienced all kinds of hardships in the plot, the Thor in front of us has nothing worth mentioning.
Jiang Shan stood up, holding a book in his hand, and knocked the book on Thor's forehead with his backhand - it was as if the space was shrunk, and Thor's forehead seemed to be automatically raised at that time.
With a bang, Thor was hit on the butt and fell to the ground.
He looked bewildered and his mind was a little confused.
Jiang Shan said: "Call me brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law?" Thor muttered subconsciously.
Jiang Shan said: "This is just the first time. If you show off in front of me next time, I will break your legs!"
Just at this moment, Loki, who was pretending to be strong outside the door, walked in with a smile. He saw Thor sitting on the ground and heard Jiang Shan say that he would break his leg. The smug smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Come here." Jiang Shan pointed to the seat next to Thor, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Loki.
Loki immediately smiled and walked over to him, saying, "I'm sorry, my brother doesn't know how honorable you are."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shan pinched the air with his backhand, and a neck appeared in his hand. Then, Loki's figure was hung in the air by Jiang Shan's neck - he was obviously taller than Jiang Shan, but when Jiang Shan pinched his neck, his feet were suspended in the air.
And Loki, who was walking towards him, immediately turned into smoke and disappeared.
Loki's eyes bulged out, and he clasped Jiang Shan's fingers with both hands and tried to pry them apart.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiang Shan threw him casually, leaving him next to Thor, who had not yet recovered from his shock. Loki had an idea and was about to cast a magic, but he found that the magic power in his body had turned into a stagnant pool of water, motionless; let alone casting magic, not even the slightest ripple could be created.
He said to himself, "It's over."
Only then did he vaguely understand why the man in front of him was the distinguished guest mentioned by Odin! Jiang Shan turned his chair around, sat down, and faced Thor and Loki. He crossed his legs and said, "I've always heard that Odin has two idiot sons. I think Odin is a mighty lord after all. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. I don't quite believe that Odin's sons are all idiots."
“I didn’t expect it to be true.”
As soon as these words came out, Thor, who was still confused, shook his head and shouted, "I'm not a fool!"
Loki, who was about to roar in anger, immediately lost his temper after hearing these words.
He got up, managed to regain his composure, took a deep breath, and saluted, "We were reckless. We apologize to you, distinguished guest!"
He is a little clever after all.
Jiang Shan waved his hand: "Call me brother-in-law."
Thor muttered again, "Brother-in-law?"
Loki glared and said, "Please don't go too far. This is Asgard and we are the princes of Asgard!"
At this moment, a cold snort came from outside the door: "If not brother-in-law, what else can you call me?!"
Hela and a graceful middle-aged lady walked in arm in arm.
Jiang Shan stood up.
Then Hela raised her foot and kicked Loki to the ground.
Frigga sighed softly, quickly stopped Hela, then bowed slightly to Jiang Shan and said, "Please forgive me, Odin and I usually spoil them too much."
Jiang Shan returned the greeting and said, "It's nice to meet you, Queen."
Frigga smiled gently, and while helping Thor and Loki up, she said, "I'm glad to see you, too, Jiang Shan."
