Chapter 464 Loli Development Plan
At this time, the armies of mountain giants and frost giants had already retreated to Jotunheim, leaving only dry bones and pits covered with snow in the forest, indicating the intensity of the battle.
When the Asgardian defenders on the ice wall saw Loen's figure appear on the snowfield, their nerves, which had been tense for months, finally relaxed.
During this period of vigilance, they were really worried that this lord would die in Jotunheim, and then the giants would tear up the contract and launch a massive attack.
“Dad!”
A petite figure rushed out of the ice wall and quickly ran into Loen's arms.
"You're finally back. If you hadn't come, your daughter would have rushed into Jotunheim to look for you."
Freya flapped her wings and landed, complaining unhappily.
Tell tales? Bad woman!
Holo seemed to have her tail stepped on, and bared her teeth at Freya behind her:
"Stop slandering me! I just want to understand the enemy's situation and go out for a walk!"
“Bang!”
Lorne slapped Holo on the head and snorted unhappily.
"Don't give me that. Don't I know you? This won't happen again!"
Hearing the words "pick it up high and put it down gently", Holo, who thought she was going to be beaten again, suddenly smiled and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Wait! What's wrong with your eyes?"
Lorne held the little head in front of him, looked at the pair of eyes that were so red that they were bleeding, and frowned.
"This?" Holo blinked, looking confused. "I don't know either. It seems like I had a very strange dream some time ago, and it suddenly became like this after I woke up."
"The day Asgard and Jotunheim went to war?"
"Yes! It seems to be that time."
Hearing Holo's answer, Lorne frowned even more deeply:
"So is there something wrong with you?"
"Does it count if my appetite has increased? Also, my teeth have been itching badly lately."
Holo scratched his head and expressed his troubles.
Freya on the side sneered and supplemented Holo's omitted glorious deeds:
"Why didn't you tell me about the rest? He tore up more than 20 sets of armor because he was itching to do something. He also broke more than 100 hemlock trees in order to catch a rabbit for soup. Finally, he said he was going to the beach to catch fish for food, but ended up throwing seven or eight krakens onto the shore, almost killing the accompanying priest..."
When Luo En heard this, his face darkened and he couldn't help but glare at the troublemaker who was trying to avoid the main issue.
Holo's head shrank, and she couldn't help but look viciously at Freya who was telling on her, and her teeth were gnashing.
This bad woman always goes against her. Just wait, sooner or later she will get what she deserves!
"Alright, Asgard and Jotunheim have reached a truce, so there's no need for you to stay here. Go back to Heath Island immediately and finish your confinement!"
"Dad, please don't! It's dark and small in there, and no one will talk to us. We will suffocate to death!"
When Holo heard this, her expression suddenly fell. She hugged the breeder's arm tightly and cried miserably.
But although the voice was loud, there was not a single tear in the corner of his eyes.
Faced with such poor acting skills, Luo En was naturally unmoved and directly issued an ultimatum with a cold face:
"You'll be given half a day to get back. If I see you wandering around outside again, I'll impose an additional three months in punishment!"
Hearing this, Holo was speechless and could only hang her head in depression, preparing to follow her temple priest back to Heath Island to continue her imprisonment.
"etc!"
The voice came from behind. Holo, who was taking a step reluctantly, immediately turned around and looked at her old father in surprise:
"Dad, have you changed your mind? I knew it..."
"Freya, you go back with her! If she dares to sneak out before the time is up, report to me immediately."
However, Loen turned to the side with an expressionless face and gave the order to the Valkyrie beside him to supervise.
Finally, Holo gave up completely. Her once lively wolf ears drooped weakly, and she walked towards the activated Rainbow Bridge teleportation array with an extremely sad and angry mood.
Watching his daughter's figure disappear in the colorful light band, Loen's face was uncertain. He turned his head and looked back at the iron forest behind him that still bore traces of war, his eyes flickering faintly.
It seems that the bet between him and Orvig is not over yet.
It seemed that some potential influence had spread to the nine kingdoms along with that divine competition.
Holo's eyes turned red and her desire for destruction increased, which was an outward manifestation of her transformation into a demon wolf. This may mean that she is accelerating her transformation into the legendary god-eating wolf Fenrir.
Since the specific cause and solution could not be determined, Loen could only drive Holo back to Heath Island, hoping to use the island's rich divinity to suppress the ferocity of the demon wolf and slow down the process.
"Is everything... settled? When... are we going... to the Asgard?"
Mimir asked with a big tongue as he staggered to his feet from under the hemlock tree.
Because he drank too much on the way, Mimir was almost drunk when he arrived at the courtyard, and he could hardly control the wine glass in his hand.
"immediately!"
Loen smiled apologetically, then calmed down the human priests and Asgardian guards around him and ordered them to open the Rainbow Bridge.
As the runes on the altar lit up and colorful beams of light descended, Loen pulled Mimir into it.
Before the drunken giant of wisdom could stand firm, a strange tearing force came from the moving rainbow bridge, causing him to stagger and almost fall. The golden cup in his hand also shook violently, and a large amount of honey wine transformed from the fountain of wisdom splashed out along the rainbow light, turning into golden light rain and falling into the entire atrium world.
"Wine, my wine...!"
Mimir felt great pain when he saw this and tightly grasped the golden cup in his hand.
"It's just a little spill, it's no problem. When we get to Asgard, I promise to let you drink as much as you want!"
While comforting him, Lorne waved quietly.
Tiny threads of golden light descended from the sky and silently merged into the bodies of humans working in the fields, hunting in the forests, and guarding on the ice walls.
An indescribable feeling of tipsiness surged in the hearts of the people in the atrium who were caught in the rain, and their thoughts also spread endlessly along with that feeling of ecstasy.
The breathing of grass and trees, the roars of wild beasts, the fierce battles of gods, the fights of giants...all kinds of sounds from the nine kingdoms poured into their minds and exploded like bright stars, forming infinite inspiration and insights.
Glancing at the half-full cup of wine left in the golden cup, and at Mimir who took a break from his busy schedule to drink greedily from the cup on the Rainbow Bridge, Loen smiled jokingly.
Drink it, drink it. Since you like drinking so much, you should forget about this wisdom divinity nurtured by the fountain of wisdom.
After all, drinking too much alcohol can easily damage your brain...
As his gaze fell on the atrium world bathed in golden rain, a happy smile appeared on Loen's face.
The Holy Grail that contains the fountain of wisdom is his sacred artifact. In addition to its superficial function of turning water into wine, its more important function is to store and absorb divinity and to have the power to bless life.
So, even though Mimir drank all the way, he didn't absorb much of the essence of the fountain of wisdom.
On the contrary, the small half cup that spilled due to his shaking hands almost took away most of the wisdom and divinity in the fountain of wisdom.
Once the humans in the atrium absorb the golden rain that falls from the sky, they will gain more wisdom and knowledge, and the tribe will experience rapid development.
In contrast, the giants who have lost the nourishment of the fountain of wisdom will find it difficult to produce wise people who can see the situation clearly for a long time. They will become more ignorant and aggressive, and thus fall into continuous internal friction in the competition for survival resources.
This is a soft knife that does not bleed.
When Mimir was tricked into boarding the pirate ship by him and took away most of the fountain of wisdom, the decline of the giants and the rise of humans were already settled.
In the original Norse mythology, Odin did something similar.
He used various means including fraud and power, risked his life to steal a kind of poetic mead from the giants, which could open up wisdom, and gave it to humans. Anyone who tasted it could become a poet and become more wise.
Since Odin no longer had the power of the god of wine, Lorne naturally chose to take over this task.
Therefore, he not only emptied almost all the fountain of wisdom guarded by the giants, turned it into mead and gave it to the humans in Midgard, but also abducted the wise giant Mimir to Asgard, deeply binding him to Asgard.
As for the throne of Jotunheim...
It was Odin who made the promise, so what does it have to do with Loki?
Besides, even if he didn't mind letting Mimir take the job, there was still the mountain giant king Shakika up there.
Without Shaki, the rest of the mountain giants and frost giants might not necessarily submit to this wise giant.
The reason is simple. The old guy Mimir guarded the fountain of wisdom and drank as much as he wanted, but rarely shared it with outsiders.
His so-called "wisdom" is nothing but some intrigues and rich knowledge, which is far from that of a true wise man.
Why didn't Orvig take him with him when the war started, and why did the giants of Jotunheim isolate him?
Isn't it because you see through his selfish nature?
If he was really smart, he should have used the fountain of wisdom to win over the giants of Jotunheim long ago, instead of taking all the benefits for himself and packing it up as his private property before leaving.
Faced with such self-destructive behavior, the hot-tempered mountain giants and frost giants were already well-mannered if they didn't tear him apart alive. Mimir still expected them to follow him? It was pure wishful thinking.
In addition, he took away the fountain of wisdom and joined Asgard, which was considered a shameless betrayal by those simple-minded giants. As time went on, Mimir might not even be able to return to Jotunheim, and could only cling to the thighs of the Aesir.
Besides, if I remember correctly, this old guy can be used if we want to finish the war between Warner and Asa.
Colorful beams of light were projected onto the center of the Asgard. Looking at Mimir, who was drunk on the altar, Loen showed a malicious smile on his face, waved to the Asgard guards coming from both sides and introduced:
"This is His Majesty Odin's uncle, a wise giant from Jotunheim. Arrange a bedroom for him immediately, and..."
"Wine! I want to drink!"
Mimir reminded with his tongue sticking out, emotions running high.
Luo En smiled and nodded, then added:
"Prepare him the best wine in Asgard, as much as he wants!"
"As you command, sir!"
Several Asgardian guards nodded respectfully and helped the drunken Mimir towards the inner city of Asgard.
After watching Palu, who he had tricked into joining the pirate ship, disappear from his sight, Loen stretched his muscles and turned to ask the Asgardian guard on the side:
"How's the battle going in Vanaheim?"
"We can still hold on..."
The Asgardian guard next to him answered with a dry cough, his face embarrassed.
Hearing this, Luo En narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to the reckless character of the Aesir, sticking to one's position is a kind of failure.
The meaning of "still able to hold" undoubtedly proves that in this war of gods, the situation has become extremely unfavorable to the Aesir.
Is Warner so difficult to deal with?
Lorne frowned and asked again.
"Where's Odin?"
"Your Majesty, he is in the Golden Palace..."
"If he's not going to the front, what is he doing in the Golden Palace?"
"She is accompanying a giantess named Jiaode to give birth. She is your Majesty's new lover brought from the underworld. She was already pregnant when she came, and is about to give birth."
The garrison captain next to him answered cautiously, his face full of embarrassment.
Looking at the resentment flashing in the eyes of the other people, Loen frowned deeply.
He had no objection to Odin going out to have fun.
After all, as a god, he himself is not clean and has no right to point fingers at Odin.
But this kind of thing also depends on the timing!
The Vanir have been winning battles one after another, while the Aesir have been losing ground, and the situation is urgent. How can he still have the mood to find a lover?
But why does the name "Jiaode" sound familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before.
Just as Loen was deep in thought, a ray of black light burst out of the Golden Palace and penetrated the sky.
The overwhelming coldness and the deathly intent that almost froze the soul spread wildly in the surroundings. As soon as the few birds in the sky came into contact with the black light, their bodies became stiff and they fell straight to the ground, turning into pools of scarlet flesh.
What?
Faced with the sudden situation, the guards of the Asgard drew their swords and prepared to gather at the Golden Palace.
"Don't panic, you guys stay here, I'll go take a look!"
Luo En shouted at the guards who were facing a great enemy and quickly came to the front of the Golden Palace.
In just a few seconds, the entire temple was almost engulfed by thick black light fog, and a strong malice towards life spread.
Just as Loen pulled out the flaming sword from the magic circle and was about to rush into the Golden Palace to find out what was going on, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Odin held the swaddling clothes high in his hands, his face full of excitement and excitement:
"Loki, I did it!"
"What?"
"my daughter!"
In a proud declaration, the Aesir God King handed the swaddling clothes in his hand to his good brother, his tone full of boasting,
"Look how cute and powerful she is!"
Luo En took the swaddling clothes and looked at the baby girl who was wrapped in death, with sickly pale skin and eyes as deep as black holes. His voice was a little dry:
"Does she have a name yet?"
“Hela!”
Odin answered without hesitation, obviously having been prepared.
Hearing this familiar name, Luo En took a deep breath and asked the question in his mind:
"How can she possess the divinity of death?"
"I went to Helheim and collected the purest and most powerful death power in that land where only the dead exist. Then, by combining it with Jiaode, I injected this power into our blood."
Odin told the story, and lifted his daughter above his head in excitement and pride.
"This is the sword I forged for the Aesir! Her birth will bring victory and glory to Asgard!"
However, as if frightened, the baby girl in the cradle flattened her mouth and burst into tears.
Suddenly, a thick aura of death emanated from her body, and the maids and guards fell to the ground one after another, their bodies rapidly weakening.
Seeing this, Odin's face changed and he frantically tried to comfort his daughter and stop her horrible crying.
However, due to his lack of experience in caring for children, and the fact that this was his eldest daughter, Odin's clumsy efforts not only failed to stop the baby girl from crying, but made her cry even louder.
Seeing that the maids and guards around the Golden Palace were almost drained of their vitality, Lorne walked forward reluctantly, took the swaddling clothes from Odin, gently held the baby in his arms in the most comfortable position for the baby, humming a soft melody.
Suddenly, the little girl who was frightened by her own father burst into laughter, and her dark eyes looked at the figure holding her curiously. She babbled and grabbed the handsome face with her little hands.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Odin breathed a sigh of relief:
"Loki, you still have a solution."
"I've seen this kind of thing a lot in the courtyard, so I've learned a little bit."
Lorne responded casually while coaxing the newborn Hela.
Looking at the warm and harmonious scene, Odin's eyes flashed and he spoke in a deep voice:
"It just so happens that I still need to deal with the Vanir and have no time to take care of this child. She will be raised by you for the time being. During this period, I hope you can teach her swordsmanship and magic so that she can become a qualified warrior! When she grows up and can effectively control the divinity of death, that will be the time for our counterattack!"
Listening to Odin's ambitions and plans, Loen looked at the little guy babbling in his arms, his thoughts constantly churning in his mind.
He finally remembered who Jiaode was.
A giantess with the power of the earth, the biological mother of Thor.
So, Hela, the goddess of death, is Odin's eldest daughter? Thor's biological sister?
It's a mess, everything is a mess...
