Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 58 Mysterious Architect

Perhaps the killings committed by Odin and his team were enough, and Downs did not blame the remaining Vanir any more. He only dealt with Njord's direct mortal servants and let the rest go.

Downs treated Frey well. Not only did he deify him and make him the god of nectar, sunshine and fruits of the earth, he also allowed him to rule over Alfheim, the kingdom of the light elves, command the elves to help flowers and plants grow and prosper, and command the bees and butterflies to work and do their best to help humans.

In addition, he made an exception and redeemed Beyla and her husband Bergvir as Frey's subordinate gods. The couple were both revered as the god of beer and the god of honey and milk.

Just when everyone thought this was the limit, Towns seemed to have thought of something and ordered the division of the priesthood, allowing Frey to serve as the [God of Swordsmen].

This decision came as a surprise to the Aesir.

You have to know that Frey is the god of war in the Vanir. For a descendant like him to have a combat-related priesthood is undoubtedly a threat.

In the epic poem [Edda], Odin deliberately changed Frey's job to destroy him in disguise. As a result, in [Ragnarok], Frey used a pair of deer horns to fight with the fire giant ancestor Surtur until he died of exhaustion.

From this perspective, Frey, the foreign god, has done his best for the Aesir.

Considering this, it would be a pity to just eliminate Frey.

Therefore, Downs split off the [Sword] branch of the [Combat] field and gave it to Frey.

【War】The priesthood is actually centered around Tyr, shared by Downs and Thor.

This couldn't be shared with Frey.

It specifically refers to small-scale [combat] priesthood, but a part of it can be split and given to Frey, which can enhance his one-on-one ability and does not bury the talent.

In any case, Towns' handling method is the best result for the remaining Warner Gods.

For the Aesir, robbing a large number of goddesses and properties was also a huge gain.

Except for those fallen Vanir gods, it can be said that everyone has a bright future.

Towns handled it all perfectly.

The banquet at the Palace of Joy that night was naturally grand and solemn.

The joyful music was almost completely drowned out by the noise of the gods and giants.

Although she was shy, Freya still led her sisters to dance for the gods on the stage.

Hot dancing, deliberate flattery, at least this banquet with "conquest" as the main theme can be called a real feast.

After three rounds of drinking, the gods began to behave themselves.

In such occasions, Towns is no exception.

He personally received counterpart assistance from two Warner goddesses.

After an unknown amount of time, the wise god Tangs saw the drunk Odin and Loki coming towards him arm in arm.

"Brother, drink!"

"Brother, drink!"

After drinking a large cup of liquor that was enough to drown a normal human being, Odin finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I used to hate you."

"What do you hate me for?" Towns narrowed his eyes.

"I hate that you're stronger than me, smarter than me, and have better things than me."

Towns was noncommittal: "Now?"

"I don't hate you anymore. You deserve it!" Towns said in disbelief: "Brother, just figure it out."

"Anyway, I'm going to go to Jotunheim and do something. When the time comes, I'm going to build a skull tower with the heads of those damn frost giants!"

"Good ambition! Then Asgard will be much safer."

With Odin's strength, it really feels like the King of Gods guarding the country's borders.

Is it really that simple?

"Don't worry, if Odin can't handle it, I'm still here!" Loki is always so familiar. Even though Towns has never liked him since he was a child, he still thinks he has a good relationship with Towns.

Perhaps because of the drinking, Downs seemed to vaguely see a black aura of fate lingering around Odin, while an aura of fate similar to gray-white cement slurry was entangled around Loki next to Odin.

As the saying goes, women are water, men are mud, and Rocky can be cement!
For some reason, when Towns saw Loki's slightly feminine and neutral face, these were the words that came to his mind.

Downs turned his head and ate a peeled grape that Freya held out to him with her lips, chewing it for a while. "Brother, have you decided who to take to Jotunheim? Gods and giants, I can let them go as long as they are willing."

Odin was a little embarrassed and he said several names in a row.

In the end, the only one who could be called famous was the wise giant Mimir, and the rest were all third-tier garbage gods, especially the three Vanir gods. Towns felt that they were threatened by Odin to work there.

It’s really interesting. This old man Mimir lost Odin’s eye. Will Odin let him go in the end?
Towns said he didn't care.

If the history recorded in the epic Edda were to be followed, Asgard would not be in too much danger until Ragnarok broke out and the monsters attacked the Rainbow Bridge.

But Towns, who had a glimpse of part of his future destiny, always felt a little uneasy and couldn't tell what went wrong.

After all, up to this point, fate is still controllable.

Downs comforted Odin: "Odin, go with peace of mind. As long as you always put the interests of the Aesir first, I will support you in whatever you do. Anyway, there is the Rainbow Bridge, so come back to see mother more often when you have time."

"I will."

The next two years were uneventful.

The biggest news among the Aesir was the marriage of Thor, the god of thunder, and Sif; Odin gave birth to Bragi, the god of poetry, with the giantess Grod, and to Hoder, the god of darkness, with Njord's daughter.

Then, on April 1st, the cow Odumbra licked out a super giant.

In the last era of giants, the story of Ymir, the ancestor of the Frost Giants, was still widely sung among the Aesir. Its story was widely circulated, from the high-level Alfheim to the low-level Svartalfheim, all tribes had stories about the Frost Giants.

But no giant was as tall and strong as the one today.

With a terrifying height of eighty meters and a body as thick as several houses, his appearance reminded Towns of the Titan from another myth.

Everyone thought that everything related to Ymir only existed on the murals in the Golden Palace, or as evidenced by the two huge giant eyes on the Rainbow Bridge.

Who would have thought that another exaggerated giant reminiscent of Ymir would appear before the world again, as if he had walked out of the long river of history—

"Damn! How can this giant be so big?" Odin was once again angry at the weak power of Kungunir. He pierced the giant's chest 15 times, but still could not stop the giant from climbing along the world tree all the way to Asgard.

It wasn't until the flying god of thunder, Thor, led the gods to take action that they managed to kill this thing halfway.

In the next month, two more giants of this size appeared, one of which even broke into Asgard and destroyed a mortal city block.

A new issue was put before the Aesir: whether to build a huge wall and fortress hundreds of meters high on the continent of Asgard to protect the safety of Asgard.

At this critical juncture, a mysterious architect came to Asgard and said that he could help the gods do all this within three quarters.
