Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 49 Don't blame me for being cruel
Odin was about to agree when he heard several giants with loud voices muttering at a volume of 120 decibels:

"Odin? Can that kid do it?"

"Can he beat that Niold?"

"He can't beat Niold, so why should those cunning gods of Warner obey him?"

Odin was suddenly startled. He realized that his elder brother really treated him well. Such compensation was a great favor no matter where it was placed. The key is that the iron must be hard to forge. If he did not obey the crowd, even if he was given the position of Vanir God King, he would not be able to sit firmly!

Odin, who still had a kind heart at this point, felt ashamed.

What am I thinking?

The reason why big brother can get the most beautiful goddess is because he is strong enough!

Why should I want the most beautiful goddess before I prove my bravery?
Odin raised his head, patted his chest with his right hand and said solemnly: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I, Odin, swear here that I will conquer the Vanir tribe within a year and complete the conquest of Vanir."

"One year? Another year?" muttered the giant Tiaz.

Seeing is not necessarily believing. When everyone saw Towns kill Njord three times, they felt that this Vanir God King was just so-so. Odin actually said it would take a year? Everyone immediately thought that Odin was not good enough.

The other giants nodded one after another, and many of the Aesir either frowned or nodded in approval.

Odin cursed in his heart: You are so talkative?
Towns was happy in his heart: Well done!
Odin quickly changed his words: "Half a year? No, three months is enough for me."

"Okay!" Downs made the decision, "Then three months. In the Aesir tribe, except for me, Paul, Bestla and the goddess, the rest are all under your command. If anyone is afraid of fighting, you can kill him!"

Odin immediately gained confidence: This Vanir God King! I, Odin, will definitely be the king!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

There was an uproar among the Aesir.

Honestly, if Towns broke his promise, no one would say anything because of the big win. You have a big fist, so whatever you say is right. At most, people would complain about it afterwards.

Not only did Towns admit his mistakes honestly, he also provided a compensation plan that was beyond imagination. It is hard to say whether he is a wise king or he is also training his younger brother at the same time.

Either way, this is not only the family affair of the King of Gods, but also an opportunity for the other giants and Aesir to step forward.

Under the throne of the God King, Thor and his descendants filled the second echelon. As long as Thor and his descendants were there, the gods and giants who were not related by blood would not be able to come forward. On the other hand, Odin only had one descendant, Vali, and at most Loki and his brothers as followers, which was far from enough to rule a tribe of gods.

By doing this, Towns is not only giving concessions to his younger brother, but also to the gods and giants.

This also demonstrates the Aesir's tradition of strong martial virtues.

If you can fight, you can get promoted. If you can’t fight, get out!
After hearing Odin's "three-month agreement", the gods and giants finally smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right! This is right!"

"Odin, we are counting on you!"

The giant's loud voice echoed in the Palace of Joy, and the gods nodded to Odin.

For a moment, all the frustration in Odin's heart disappeared, and his heart was filled with gratitude towards his brother.

He followed the situation and said, "Since Your Majesty has given me such a rare opportunity, I cannot be bound by material things. I don't want my share of the spoils. I will give it to other heroes."

"Ohhhh!" The gods and giants cheered as a matter of course.

According to the order of merit, Thor was given Njord's eldest daughter Radwig, while Tyr was given the youngest daughter Krupvul as a maid. The rest of the heroes received their own rewards.

After the spoils were distributed, the atmosphere in the Palace of Joy became even more lively. The dwarf musicians played their instruments vigorously, and the beautiful light elves kept flying in the air above the Palace of Joy, offering fine wine and food to the gods and giants.

In the middle of the venue, several Warner goddesses were dancing to the music.

Seeing this scene, Paul and his wife were very satisfied.

"Passing the throne of the God King to Towns is definitely the best decision I have made in my life."

"Isn't it, dear?"

The excited Bestla sat on it, but fortunately Paul reacted quickly and became bigger, otherwise he was afraid that he would be crushed to death. Paul carried her and strolled to the back hall.

When Downs saw this scene, he was embarrassed for a rare moment. He also carried Freya to the back hall, and Guerveig and the Valkyries who were accompanying him hurriedly followed him in small steps.

With the God King around, everyone was always very relaxed. As soon as Downs left, the Palace of Joy reached its peak. Many victors couldn't wait to enjoy their spoils.

Glancing at what was happening in the main hall through the door that had not yet closed, Freya couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Towns.

At this moment, Towns unexpectedly found Odin and Loki waiting for him, and brought Willy with them.

"What's wrong? My dear brother."

Odin heaved a sigh of relief, smiled sincerely and said, "Brother, I was so afraid that you would call me 'stupid brother' again."

No! You are still that stupid brother!

The actor Tang Si raised his lips slightly: "You did a great job this time."

"Thank you for the compliment." Odin deliberately avoided looking at the trophy goddess on his brother's shoulder and said carefully, "Thank you for your support, brother. I will fight well against the Vanir."

Towns said seriously: "Njord is very powerful. You were too impatient this time. If you can keep going for a year, I can help you deal with him easily."

As soon as Downs finished speaking, he clearly felt the person on his shoulder tremble, while Gulveig, who was following closely behind him, began to breathe faster and his eyes became extremely hot.

One is sadness, the other is convert fervor.

The most interesting reaction was from Odin, who had a visibly conflicted expression. Afterwards, he made no secret of his ambition: "Brother, I think I can do it. If I must rely on your power, then I am not worthy of being the King of Vanir."

Foolish brother! You are the one who said that!
Loki was unlucky and dug a huge pit for Odin. He actually said: "If you are so useless, Odin, why don't you just guard Jotunheim with me."

Odin was stunned for a moment, and felt that he could not lose his momentum. He patted his chest and swore, "If Njord is not taken in three months, I will go to guard Jotunheim for the Aesir."

Downs wanted to roll his eyes. He began to understand why there was a saying "It's all Loki's fault" written between almost every line of the Epic Edda!
Whenever the Aesir were at a loss as to how to deal with a problem, it was Loki who came up with ideas.

He is the one who comes up with the good ideas and the bad ideas.

Loki, a guy who possesses both divine and demonic qualities, can lead the Aesir to heaven, but can also plunge them into hell.

You should know that in the prose version of "Edda", Njord managed to survive "Ragnarok" and became the new leader of the two tribes. In turn, he killed all the remaining sons of Odin.

If the Njord, who were at home, were so easy to deal with, they would not have fought with the Aesir for several years, until both tribes suffered huge losses and were exhausted and forced to negotiate.

Faced with the pit dug by 'your own man' Loki, you, Odin, really jumped down!

Foolish brother, don’t blame me for being cruel.
