Chapter 449 You are forbidden to open a bank party
Time flies, and decades have passed in a flash.
The faint morning light penetrated the white clouds, reflecting the majestic outline of Asgard. The thick crown of the world tree Yggdrasil passed through the center of this kingdom of God, and the dense branches and leaves connected with the starlight in the sky, mixed with water vapor and clouds, and outlined a magnificent rainbow color around the palace.
Rustle~~
A few tender branches, like playful little hands of a child, reached into a temple somewhere and swept gently.
“A-choo!”
Lying on the rattan chair, Loen felt a tingling sensation in his nose and sneezed loudly. He woke up from his sleep and looked helplessly at the branches in front of him that were causing trouble.
After improving the environment of the Kinlunga Chasm and sacrificing Ymir's divinity, the World Tree, which benefited greatly from it, had a good impression of him as its benefactor.
So since he moved into the Asgard, the World Tree often lowered its branches to interact with him intimately.
But in Loen's view, these behaviors were full of helpless childishness.
Rustle~~
The drooping branches swayed gently, and several green vines wrapped around Loen's arms and dragged him outward.
"Okay, I'll go out right away."
Sensing that the power of the vines was gradually increasing, Loen helplessly raised his hands in surrender, and had to get up and walk out of the temple, patrolling the territory of Asgard as usual.
It’s called a patrol, but in fact it’s more like a walk or a dog walk.
The main route is to walk around the crown of the World Tree, knocking on the trunk from time to time, touching the bark, checking for insect pests and fallen leaves, and using an interactive form similar to walking a dog to let this pillar of the Nordic world, which is beginning to have some spirituality, feel cared for.
Originally, due to the importance of the World Tree, this kind of daily maintenance work was mainly undertaken by Odin. However, during this period, because the light elves and dark elves in Alfheim were fighting, he had to lead people to mediate, so the maintenance of the World Tree temporarily fell on the head of his good brother Lorne.
Calculating the time, the new God King has been away for more than two months, right?
Loen sighed, came to the edge of Asgard, and overlooked this brand new world of the Age of Gods.
Ever since the founding giant Ymir was killed through sacrifice, the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes because of the divine power it leaked out. The nine kingdoms and different races formed around the world tree were also born.
First, the Fairy Palace - Asgard.
This is where Odin and his Aesir tribe live, located at the top of the World Tree, with 12 regions. According to Odin's original design concept, the twelve regions of Asgard should be dominated and managed by twelve main gods who hold great power.
However, because the Aesir had previously experienced a fierce battle with the first giant Ymir, resulting in heavy casualties, and because most of the twelve Norse gods in Lorn's memory had not yet been born, the temples of the main gods in various regions were mostly vacant, and only he and Odin were qualified to live in them.
Second, the elven kingdom - Alfheim.
After the great sacrifice, many maggots grew on Ymir's body. These maggots had spirituality and humanoid forms because of the nourishment of divinity and divine blood, thus the elves were born. The maggots facing the light became light elves, and the maggots facing away from the light became dark elves. Light elves are particularly beautiful, have great magic power, and are natural spellcasters. They take care of flowers and plants, and are kind and friendly pseudo-god creatures who love light the most. The gods loved the light elves very much, so they established the elven kingdom of Alfheim near Asgard for the elves to live. Although the dark elves are the same race as the light elves, they are not favored by the gods because of their cunning and gloomy character. They were eventually exiled to the underground of Alfheim and lived a dark life.
Faced with this completely different treatment, the dark elves gradually developed resentment towards the Aesir and the light elves, so they often launched rebellions, making the entire elven kingdom a mess. Because the light elves are docile and not very good at fighting, the Aesir, as protectors, have to frequently dispatch troops to assist these delicate allies and resist the attacks from the underground dark elves.
For example, this time, Odin led his troops to the Elf Kingdom to provide support because of the rebellion of the Dark Elves.
Third, the atrium - Midgard.
This place is located in the center of the World Tree, so it is named the Atrium World. It is a transit station connecting the nine major countries and the birthplace of future humans. The three-color rainbow bridge composed of ice, fire, and air is the channel connecting them.
Fourth, the wonderland - Vanaheim.
This place is located in the west of the courtyard, close to the ocean, and has a warm climate. Because there are a large number of magical beasts living in the area, it has become a hunting ground for the Aesir, but recently there seems to be an outsider active in that area. According to known information, they call themselves the Vanir, and they control the reproduction of all things between heaven and earth, the ocean, the wind, and other powers. They are proficient in many mysterious spells that even the Aesir do not know, and have a strong worship of nature. Therefore, they are quite dissatisfied with the Aesir's behavior of hunting living things.
Although there has not been a large-scale conflict between the two sides so far, there have been several frictions.
Fifth, the country of giants - Jotunheim.
This is located in the east of the Midgard, where the frost giants and mountain giants live. Most of them are frost giants, and a few are mountain giants. A river called Iffinger separates Asgard from Jotunheim, and the dividing point between the Midgard world and Jotunheim is a terrifying "Iron Forest", which is the barrier formed by the eyebrows of the original giant Ymir.
When the great sacrifice took place, the divine blood that gushed out of Ymir's body flooded the earth, causing the first flood. As a result, most of the original giants were melted by the divine blood of the same origin, and only a few giants survived. Among them, a giant named Bergelmir and his wife sat on a small boat similar to a mortar and escaped the flood with great difficulty. They fled to the far east, where they established the giant country Jotunheim and bred a new race of giants, vowing to be enemies of the gods forever.
Sixth, the dwarf kingdom - Svartalfheim.
After the maggots on Ymir's body evolved into light elves and dark elves, the gods were inspired to create a race with Ymir's remaining flesh and blood, called the dwarves. Although they were born short, they had the strength of giants and were commissioned by the gods to support the earth. At the same time, the dwarves were also powerful craftsmen, possessing all kinds of mysterious powers and profound knowledge, responsible for creating various treasures and artifacts for the gods. But they also had the bad habit of greed, and the gods often needed to give them enough benefits in order to get them to make a move.
Seventh, the underworld - Helheim.
This is located at the bottom of the World Tree. It is a cold and foggy place, a place of eternal night. Only the dead can reach it. It belongs to the realm of the dead who died of illness and old age. The dead souls and the filth of the world gather here. Since the goddess of death Hela has not yet been born, this place is still a no-man's land.
Eighth, the Land of Mist - Niflheim.
This is one of the two primordial worlds that existed before all creatures and the world were born. It is located north of the Kinlunga Chasm and is shrouded in thick fog all year round, covered by snow and ice, with no light and little life. However, the world's first spring, Hvergelmir, flows through here.
Ninth, the Land of Fire - Muspelheim.
This is the other of the two original worlds, located south of the Kinlunga Chasm. The environment here is bright and hot, full of flames and light, and burning everywhere. The extremely high temperature makes it impossible for other life forms except fire giants to survive here, so life forms from other worlds cannot enter here. Surtur, the king of fire giants, is not satisfied with the territory he rules, and is also eyeing Midgard and Asgard.
At present, although Odin has perfected the nine kingdoms through the great sacrifice, in the end, the only territory that the Aesir can truly control seems to be Asgard.
The three regions of the Underworld, the Atrium, and the Kingdom of Mist are still unowned, but either the environment is bad or they are all in dispute:
The Giant Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are occupied by two groups of giants, almost all of whom are mortal enemies of the Aesir.
The Vanir who migrated from the fairyland Vanaheim seemed to be trying to usurp the throne, and I'm afraid they will have to fight with the Aesir sooner or later.
The dark elves in the Elven Kingdom often have internal strife, and the Aesir need to send troops to quell the rebellion;
The dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom are greedy and lustful, and it is difficult to invite them without benefits...
To sum up, the nine Nordic countries can be described as a scene full of vitality and flourishing nature.
Luo En sorted out his thoughts and shook his head helplessly.
This is the disadvantage of not having enough strength and using sacrifice to create the world.
Since there had been no thorough conquest and change of royal power, a large number of remnants of the Aesir remained in the nine kingdoms, and none of them submitted to the rule.
If Odin wants to become the true king of destiny, he must defeat all opponents, make all the creatures of the nine kingdoms bow to him, and let the glory of Asgard shine on the entire world of the Age of Gods.
I have to say, this will be a rather difficult task.
During the decades when the nine kingdoms were gradually becoming stable and taking shape, Odin had to send troops to conquer various rebellious forces in the nine kingdoms almost every day. After his golden palace was built, it was empty more days than it was occupied.
Alas, how come the Nordic god king is like a 996 office worker? He is either fighting or on his way to a fight.
It's not like Greece, where people are either having a party or on the way to a party.
Loen secretly complained in his heart. While feeling sorry for Odin, he couldn't help but miss his once decadent and luxurious life.
“Boom!”
The sudden roar interrupted Loen's thoughts.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the magic barrier outside the Asgard was causing waves like water waves. Hundreds of frosty-green giants holding stone hammers and spears rushed out from the rainbow-like light band, marching across the colorful three-color crystal bridge and heading straight for the inner city of Asgard.
Those grandsons of Jotunheim are causing trouble again...
Loen's face turned dark, and he opened the magic circle diagram helplessly and took out the flaming magic sword Levatin.
The King of Gods Odin was away, and most of the well-known gods of the Aesir were not born yet, so he, his good brother, had to take over temporarily.
Seeing the flaming sword light rising from the city, the panicked Aesir garrison troops immediately found their backbone, and quickly gathered towards the area where the fire was burning. They excitedly surrounded the blood brothers of the God King Odin, and went out of the city together to fight the Frost Giants who came to the door.
A bloody battle ensued.
