Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 27 [Sword of the Nine Realms]

Runes alone are not enough. Only by combining them with runes can magic be engraved on any material such as wood, metal, stone, etc., to create endless effects.

There is a small problem here: after all the twists and turns, Odin still learned the original runes. However, if anyone wants to learn runes in the future without Towns' approval, they may have to learn Chinese first.

This scene is wonderful just to imagine it.

This is later.

Now, to get the Runas spell, you must go to the Fountain of Wisdom.

The World Tree has three main roots:
One went deep into Niflheim, the Land of Mist, where there was a poisonous dragon Nidhogg that kept gnawing at tree roots. Downs thought about killing Nidhogg, but the problem was that this thing, like the cow, did not exist entirely in the Jinlunga space. It was a strange creature caught in the cracks of space.

The other one is in Asgard, where the famous [Ulder's Well] is located. Downs also likes to hold meetings with the gathered gods there. Now the Fate Twins are being raised there, and when they grow up they will live there permanently;
The last one is in Jotunheim, soaking in the Fountain of Wisdom. The one guarding the spring is Mimir, the father of the goddess of fate, the wise giant who drinks the spring water every day.

When Mimir saw the God-King brothers arriving, he broke out in a sweat.

According to the epic Edda, Odin came to the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, hoping to drink the water of wisdom.

Odin, who loved to default on his debts, did not use force. There was a simple reason for this - this was the land of the Frost Giants, and it was filled with the descendants of Bergelmir, who had sworn to be enemies of the Aesir. His children and grandchildren, together with the Frost Giants licked by the cow, formed a terrifying force that even the Aesir did not dare to go to war with.

If Mimir just shouts, Odin will definitely suffer a great loss.

Moreover, Mimir is Odin's uncle, so it is not easy for Odin to launch a direct sneak attack and kill Mimir.

In this life, there are only two kinds of giants in the entire Jotunheim: one is mixed with the Aesir, and the other is the dead Frost Giant.

Knowing the importance of the Fountain of Wisdom, Downs had long ago filled a large pit near the Fountain of Wisdom with the heads of frost giants. In fact, this is also a disguised Jingguan.

There is no reason. In the epic, this old man Mimir has all kinds of unclear relationships with the Vanir. He seems to be neutral, but in fact he gave many Vanir gods the fountain of wisdom to drink. This is why the Vanir gods have so many messed up divine arts and can compete with the Aesir.

Knowing this early on, how could Tangs possibly be nice to his uncle Mimir?
When Mimir saw Tangs coming, he shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, are you here to drink the fountain of wisdom?"

"I heard that many people asked you for spring water to drink, and you always offered a price that they couldn't accept?"

Mimir shivered even more violently.

As the saying goes, ignorant people are fearless. The more you know, the more awe you have.

This old giant, who was only 8 meters tall, not much taller than the average Aesir, had an ugly face, full of wrinkles and pockmarks, and a lot of half-meter-long hair and beard, growing like a hedgehog. So even though he saluted respectfully to Downs and Odin, Odin still frowned in displeasure.

Mimir complained, "I didn't ask for a price on purpose, the spring made me do it!"

"Spring water?" Towns was curious.

Mimir bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, you personally led the reshaping of the world. You should know best how many laws you have injected into the world. Isn't it reasonable to pay a corresponding price to obtain the way to use the laws of the world?"

Tang was speechless.

He can lay down rules in advance and severely punish his enemies, but he would not want his enemies to master his rules and use them against him.

"Then..." "Your Majesty, if you want to drink from the fountain of wisdom, please feel free to do so. But he can't--" Mimir pointed at Odin.

Just as Tang Si was about to say something, Odin put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Brother, I still say that there are some things that you can understand more deeply and thoroughly by yourself than by your teaching. I am ready to pay the price."

Towns asked hesitantly, "Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Odin replied firmly.

Two brothers, and a life-long friendship. Odin did not have any arrogant ambitions, but he had the pride that every extremely powerful person should have - he believed that with his courage and wisdom, he could at least become as powerful as his elder brother.

If Towns really taught him, he would think it was a shame!

Following the guidance of fate, the two brothers walked to the clear fountain of wisdom and knowledge and drank the water without any order.

One is to drink for free on the way.

One paid the bill with his right eye.

Downs glanced at the wise giant Mimir who was laughing beside him, and suddenly sighed: This old man is courting death. He didn't explain clearly that gaining wisdom requires a price. No wonder he was sold to Odin in the mythology and his head was chopped off by the Vanir. In the end, even his head was cast with magic and made into a fully automatic AI "computer" that was responsible for answering all kinds of difficult questions from Odin.

Let’s wait and see in this life.

Over there, after drinking the fountain of wisdom, Odin's only remaining left eye glowed with spiritual light. He stretched out his right hand and drew in the air. Runes appeared out of thin air, and after combining with the Runes, they formed new arrangements and combinations in mid-air, and finally embedded themselves one by one on the tall branch of the World Tree in his right hand.

Downs knew that the famous [Kungunir] was basically formed, and all that was needed next was the craftsmen's careful polishing and modification.

"Brother, I'm almost done here. How about you? Have you figured out any magical tools?"

Tang Si touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "I have too many weapons."

All Odin wanted to create was a magic spear.

Tangs was better. He pulled a branch of the world tree from each of the nine worlds.

Odin was puzzled: "Brother, with so many weapons, can you use them all?"

"Well, my style of play is a little bit special."

Three months later, in the magnificent Golden Palace, Odin looked at his magic spear and the nine strange swords made of branches of the world tree beside him with a strange expression!
Although they are essentially wooden swords, these nine swords have long lost their wooden appearance.

Just looking at the appearance, except for the sword shape, it’s not a big problem if you say they are not a set at all.

Under the astonished gazes of the gods and giants, Tangs lightly lifted his right index finger and made a finger-hooking gesture. The two-meter-long frost sword suddenly flew up by itself, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then flew to Tangs' palm, spinning lightly.

"This sword is called [Jotunheim]!"

As soon as Tang Si said the name of the first sword, the gods and giants immediately realized what the full name of this set of swords was - [Sword of the Nine Realms]!
Yes! They symbolize the absolute rule of the God King Tang Si over the Nine Realms of Jinlunga!
