Chapter 512: Foot control benefits, delicious!
"presumptuous!"
Hearing this unreasonable request, Brunhilde shouted angrily, summoned the swan feather weave, the dead branch spear and the divine iron shield, stepped forward, and wanted to fight these frost giants to the death on the spot.
Whether in the East or the West, a soldier's loyalty to his monarch is a necessary professional ethics and an honor that needs to be practiced.
When the lord is worried, his ministers will be humiliated; when the lord is humiliated, the ministers will die.
Brunhilde was born and raised in Midgard. She grew up listening to Loki's heroic deeds in resisting the invasion of giants. Coupled with the long talk that night, her feelings for Lorne were no longer simple loyalty, but a kind of heartfelt respect. Naturally, she could not bear to see the monarch she served being so despised by these frost giants.
However, Lorne held Brunhilde's shoulders, pulled the Valkyrie back and said calmly:
"No hurry, let's first listen to what the three challenges are. Even Thor couldn't pass them. I'm very curious."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, Laofei on the throne also raised his hand to appease the frost giants who had stood up in the hall, and then summoned the questions of the three trials:
"It's simple. Drink this glass of wine, wrestle and win against this old woman next to me, and lift this cat on the table."
Loen's eyes swept over the three questions one by one, and a subtle smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The title has not changed.
"What? You don't dare to accept the challenge?" Seeing no response, Lao Fei sneered and provoked him with words.
Luo En couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said simply:
"Okay, I agree to bet with you."
Hearing this response, a sinister sneer appeared on Lao Fei's face.
Finally got fooled.
These three trials could cause Thor to fail, so they are certainly not as simple as they seem.
The horn cup used for drinking water is connected to the sea, and the sea water is endless; the old woman is named "Iri", the embodiment of old age, and is inevitable for the life of the Nordic people, because she will always come; the orange cat that jumped onto the table at the end is named "Jörmungandr", and its prototype can surround the entire atrium and connect with the world. Once it activates its power, mortal power cannot shake it at all, let alone lift it...
In short, the above three questions are natural traps, and theoretically no god can pass the test.
Just as Lao Fei was secretly feeling proud, an empty golden horn cup was thrown onto the table.
"Your wine is bitter and astringent. Don't make it anymore."
“…”
Lao Fei was stunned. He subconsciously picked up the horn cup and looked through it.
Then, he saw the linking technique at the bottom of the cup being severed, and he felt depressed.
The tampering with the cup was discovered, and the first challenge was solved.
But it's acceptable.
It is said that this giant killer in the atrium is the best at illusion. Even [Eternal Law] Orvig has lost to him. It is reasonable that he can see through the tricks on the cup and adopt targeted strategies.
But the next two items cannot be passed by taking shortcuts.
Lao Fei said to himself, his confidence remains undiminished.
However……
"Bang!"
An evil god who had no virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young slapped the old woman who was staggering towards him to the ground.
The frost giants at the scene were stunned, with their eyes all over the ground.
It shouldn't be like this!
How is it possible for life to withstand the erosion of aging?
It’s an illusion, absolutely an illusion!
Lao Fei gritted his teeth and used his mind to command the old woman to get up and fight again.
However, another slap came.
"Bang!"
The old woman was hit harder this time and smashed into the pillar like a cannonball.
At the same time, Laofei, who was connected with his mind, smashed the throne under him, flew backwards with a roar, and embedded in the wall behind him.
"His Majesty!"
A group of frost giants rushed into the ruins, worked together to dig away the bricks and stones, and helped Laufey up.
“Get lost!”
Laufey shook his dizzy head and pushed away the frost giants around him.
Looking at the bright red slap mark on his right cheek and the ice-blue divine blood oozing from his mouth and nose, the Frost Giant King became furious.
Come again! I don't believe it anymore, there is life that can really defeat aging!
Unconvinced, Lao Fei pulled himself together and connected with [Aging] again to attack Loen on the field.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, [Aging] was smashed directly into the floor tiles by a slap from top to bottom. Lao Fei, who was resonating with his mind, also fell headfirst, and the entire platform was blasted into a deep pit.
Laufey, who was holding his breath, was still struggling to pull out his head, but unexpectedly, a foot in a combat boot trampled violently on the fallen old woman.
The scene was so cruel that it was outrageous.
Of course, there was a reason why Loen did this.
——He used too much force just now and his hand hurts.
Finally, after enjoying a wave of foot-control benefits, Lao Fei raised his unrecognizable face, stuck out his tongue, and repeatedly called for a stop:
"Pass! You pass!"
As the words came out, Loen withdrew his right foot regretfully.
Lao Fei, whose face was bruised and swollen, was helped by his subordinates to a chair nearby to rest.
Opening his swollen eyelids, Lao Fei looked at Ron, who was calm and composed on the field, and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
How could he overcome aging? This was something that was almost impossible for the Nine Realms beings to do!
——Because I am from Greece.
The Nordic concept of "aging" has no effect on me.
Loen muttered to himself, looking at Lao Fei's face that was swollen like a pig's head with a mocking look.
Moreover, the Greek gods, having inherited the legacy of Chaos, the god of origin, have long since transcended the constraints of aging.
Aren't you just asking for trouble by using this as a topic?
"There's a third item! Only if you win all the challenges can you take Thor away!"
Laufey waved his hand to repel the conceptual embodiment of [aging], with a look of gnashing teeth.
Lorne nodded and walked over to the table in the corner that was filled with food.
At the same time, the orange cat who was eating heartily at the table sensed someone approaching, subconsciously raised his head, and let out a low growl in his throat to protect his food.
However, as the familiar smell rushed into the nose, the orange cat shivered involuntarily, and hurriedly gave up the half-eaten meal, and immediately wanted to jump off the table and run away.
But it ultimately couldn't escape the clutches of the falling devil. The flesh on the back of Fate's neck was lifted up tightly, and its four claws were paddling weakly in the air.
It was not until the white and slender hand put it into the arm that the orange cat stopped fluttering and lay obediently in Lorne's arms, staring with watery eyes and pretending to be harmless.
When Lao Fei, who was slumped in a chair, saw the happy scene of man and cat, he almost vomited blood and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.
This useless piece of shit!
Where is your world power? Where is your death coil? Where is your fierce poison?
I provided you with food and drink, but you betrayed me at the critical moment!
Brunhilde, who had been holding her heart in her hands the whole time, saw that Lorn had easily completed the last trial. She could not help but quietly loosen her sweaty fists and snorted coldly:
"We won, let them go!"
Even though Laufey was extremely reluctant, as the new king of the Frost Giants, he could not break his promise in public. With a dark face, he raised his hand slightly, and the ice under his feet suddenly cracked.
A blond burly man with disheveled hair, dark skin and a listless spirit was picked up and thrown at the feet of Lorne and Brunhilde.
"Who dares to throw down your Grandpa Thor? Come out! Let's fight!"
Even in a weak state, the legendary God of Thunder still maintained his arrogant temperament. As soon as he landed, he shouted at the top of his lungs in a hoarse voice.
"Shut up!"
Lorne kicked him angrily, telling his nephew to behave himself and stop causing trouble for him.
Thor was about to explode, but when he turned around and saw Brunhilde beside Lorne, he was immediately surprised:
"Brunhild? Why are you here?"
As the daughter of Odin, Brunhilde is his sister in terms of kinship, and they usually have a lot of interactions.
Moreover, his wife, Sif, the goddess of land and harvest, had also served in the Valkyrie Legion. Although Sif lost her qualification as a Valkyrie because she was married, she had fought side by side with Brunhilde and formed a deep friendship.
It was because of this relationship that his wife Sif entrusted her daughter Slud, who had joined the Valkyrie Legion, to Brunhilde's care and teaching.
"It was the Father who ordered us to come to Jotunheim to rescue you, Lord Thor."
Brunhilde raised her hand to her chest and stated her purpose frankly.
Hearing this, Thor felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly:
"That was a trick played by these frost giants. I wouldn't necessarily lose in a one-on-one match! Moreover, these guys were just competing, but they shamelessly poisoned me..."
As the tune ended, Thor raised his gaze and fell on the orange cat in Lorne's arms, and was immediately startled:
"Oh my god, why is this monster here?!"
monster?
Brunhilde looked at the orange cat in Lorne's arms with a puzzled look on her face.
"Isn't this just a cat?"
"Don't be fooled by this thing. It's probably the most evil and terrifying monster in the Nine Realms! If this ghost thing hadn't bitten me when I was unprepared and poisoned me, these scumbags in Utgar City would not have been able to stop me!" Thor replied gritting his teeth.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other.
Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered in recent days, Thor immediately dragged his weak body, squeezed out a bit of divine power, and tried to summon Thor's hammer to fight a life-and-death battle with the evil orange cat.
At the same time, the orange cat also felt the strong hatred and murderous intent from Thor. Its hair stood on end, its back bulged, its pupils widened, and it made low demonstrative growls from its mouth, preparing to attack.
Seeing the reactions of the man and the cat, Loen roughly guessed what had happened.
If it was just three challenges, Thor would not be able to pass them, but he would not be captured alive by the Frost Giants.
And Laufey probably understood how powerful Thor was, so when Thor tried to lift Jörmungandr in the third trial, Laufey hinted to Jörmungandr to bite him.
So, with the harmless appearance of the orange cat, Jörmungandr bit the arm of the God of Thunder when Thor was off guard, and injected a highly toxic toxin into his body, successfully knocking Thor to the ground.
In the original Norse mythology, the two sides became enemies because of this challenge and thus became arch-enemies.
When the Ragnarok came, Jörmungandr resonated with the disaster power on earth. It woke up from its sleep, and kept churning on the bottom of the sea, causing huge waves. The deadly venom and poisonous gas spewed out of its mouth, polluting the entire ocean and filling the entire universe.
As the Doomsday War unfolds, Jörmungandr attacks Asgard and engages in a deadly battle with his arch-enemy Thor.
In the end, Thor's hammer smashed Jörmungandr's head, and Jörmungandr's poison caused Thor to die after he took seven steps back. Both sides died together.
Destiny...
Loen shook his head and sighed, and hit the man and the cat on the head with two violent slaps without mercy, which dispersed the divine power accumulated in their bodies.
"Behave yourself!"
Frightened by Lorne's power and his own animal instincts, Jörmungandr was the first to calm down. He whimpered softly and shrank into Lorne's arms.
Thor touched his head, feeling a little indignant:
"Who are you? Why do you care about me?"
"He is Loki, the god of fire and trickery, your uncle, who was sent by the Father to rescue you."
Brunhilde at the side took the initiative to introduce and added seriously,
"Just now, it was Lord Loki who saved you from the giant's ice prison by passing the three trials that you failed to complete with his own life."
Hearing this, Thor looked at the legendary "uncle" in surprise:
"You did all that?"
Luo En waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after we get out."
"Okay." Thor nodded in agreement, completely losing his previous arrogance.
He patted Luo En's shoulder excitedly and said seriously:
"I will remember this favor! Let's make a blood pact later. From now on, you are my half-brother!"
Do you know that I'm your dad? Why do you and your son both have the problem of acknowledging each other as brothers?
After some complaints in his heart, Loen's impression of his nephew improved a little.
Although this kid is rather arrogant at heart and looks down on people who are not as strong as him, he is not indifferent to good and bad.
Of course, there may be another reason why Thor is so tactful.
A certain god of thunder glanced at Jörmungandr, who was as obedient as a house cat in Lorne's arms, and at the bruised and swollen frost giant king Laufey sitting on the chair, and couldn't help swallowing.
Although his brother (uncle) looks weak, his strength is probably not inferior to that of his father.
Just as the three were about to leave the palace, Laofei stood up with a gloomy face:
"Wait, I want to make another bet with you! The loser must unconditionally agree to the winner's request!"
Luo En stopped, looked at Lao Fei behind him, and shook his head:
"Forget it. I'm not interested in your bargaining chips."
Galadriel, Belldandi, and Rose each owed him seven requests, and he had no time to collect them. Laufey lost the trump card of Thor, and thus lost the bargaining chip that interested him, so there was no need to continue gambling with the other party.
Seeing that Lorne rejected his request and was about to walk out of the hall with Brunhilde and Thor, Laufey was furious:
"Stop! If you don't bet with me on this round, none of you can leave today!"
As soon as Laofei said this, the frost giants in the hall, who had been unable to contain themselves, stood up with grim smiles and rushed towards the three people and the cat at the door.
"presumptuous!"
Brunhilde's pretty face was filled with cold murderous intent. The fingers of her right hand flashed with light, and she summoned the dead branch-like spear given to her by Lorne from a rising green flame, and at the same time turned around and stabbed backwards.
A huge tide of magical power suddenly rose in the hall, and several giants who arrived first were injured and swept away by the sharpness of the spears.
Upon seeing this, Lao Fei immediately summoned icy air to attack the three people at the door.
However, a blazing flame shot up into the sky, sweeping away the dark blue frost and cold air, then transformed into a dark red sword blade, pressing against Laofei's neck.
The golden flames burning on the sword burned Laufey's frosty blue skin, making a sizzling sound, making the Frost Giant King sweat all over and his face pale in pain.
But even so, he did not dare to act rashly.
Because his intuition told him that if he moved, he would die.
At this moment, Loen narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Fei who dared not move, and reminded him quietly:
"You are qualified to bet with me because I am interested; if you want to overturn the table, you are not capable of that."
"He's not qualified, what about me?"
A lazy and charming voice came from the darkness. A goddess with brown skin and long silver hair walked over and looked at Luo En with a smile.
"How about we make a bet?"
"Hello again, Miss Wulu."
Loen put away the flaming sword and looked at the female bartender, whom he had met once, with amusement.
Or rather, Urd, the goddess of fate who controls the past.
