Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 60: The Four-legged Horse [Sleipnir]

As long as the lasso and the leash are tied, this magical horse can actually pull a hill a hundred meters high. No wonder the mysterious architect dared to make such a boast.

Now, that kid has blasphemed the three Aesir gods with his foul mouth, and the King of Gods has a legitimate reason to kill people and rob horses.

Even if this matter spread throughout the Nine Realms, no one would think that God King Tangs was wrong.

Now it seems that I can earn a city wall for free!

The gods all praised His Majesty the King of God for his wisdom and bravery.

The news soon spread to a crudely painted ice palace in Jotunheim.

Odin, who was suffering from poverty, felt very unhappy when he heard the news.

He was crowned king as he wished, but he left Asgard, where summer was almost eternal, and returned to this barren snowy land.

Odin couldn't scold his elder brother. After all, after he was crowned king, his elder brother Downs recruited a large number of dwarf craftsmen to build him a magnificent castle so that he could live in the golden palace he had always dreamed of.

But compared to Asgard, Odin felt that he was the one who needed walls and fortresses the most.

What a hell.

Obviously, Odin's palace was specially chosen to be located far away from the glacier. So why, after the cows licked the new frost giants out of the glacier, most of the frost giants chose to go far away instead of stepping on the Rainbow Bridge which was so close at hand, but instead came all the way to trouble Odin?
Is the God of Fate trying to make things difficult for Odin?
Anyway, the result was that Odin's palace had to undergo a minor repair every three days and a major repair every week.

"What the hell is Svadirfari? It would be great if I could bring him here to help me build the city wall." Odin said casually.

The speaker has his intention, and the listener has his intention.

It must be said that Loki's love for Odin is real, bah, he is truly loyal to him.

He didn't even say hello to Odin, but started to think by himself: "Those Aesir must want to build the wall for Asgard first. I would normally ask for it, but I probably won't get it. How about? I go steal the horse?"

Loki acted as he thought and slipped away to Asgard that night.

Odin sat on the balcony of his castle, watching Loki leave with his one eye wide open, as if thinking about something.

Odin has always been responsible, but not much.

He had also thought about it, at worst he could return the horse to his elder brother after the city wall was repaired. Loki was punished by his elder brother, so he would think of a way to compensate Loki later.

Odin's calculations were very precise, but he forgot one crucial thing - Loki is safest when there is danger. Loki is most dangerous when there is no danger!

Correct!
Dangerous in every sense of the word!

Odin didn't even know that his good brother, Downs, had personally gone to set up a magic circle of order in the stable.

This matter was so secretive and strange that even the Valkyries were dumbfounded.

His Majesty the God King set up magic circle after magic circle, and no one knew what they were for.

This is just a magical horse!

As for?
If they were afraid that the divine horse would run away, why did they lead the divine horse out to build the city wall?

Also, what are those stone slabs that the God-King had them bury in the stable?
The Valkyries thought that was all, but who knew that Towns gave an order that made Brunhilde and the others so curious.

"In the middle of the night, if you hear any strange noises in the stable, do not approach, let alone disturb. Unless the horse is led away from the stable, do nothing. This is related to the struggle between order and chaos, so this order is absolute! Do you understand?"

Tang Si spoke so seriously that the Valkyries were all stunned.

Their loyalty is absolute!
Such a great God-King is certainly worthy of their death. Even if they have many doubts in their hearts, they still choose to obey.

They buried the stone slab so carefully, as if they were wiping a perfect piece of white porcelain with extremely dry white gauze.

They think it should be so cautious.

The Valkyries were not ordinary people. They could vaguely feel that as soon as the stone slab was buried, a mysterious force came out from the stone slab and crashed into the depths of the earth of Asgard. The light of the branches of the World Tree above their heads also became brighter.

It seemed as if there was an invisible fire of law burning quietly on this land.

Just like the flow of water returning to the sea, she could even feel a sense of excitement and joy coming from the land that was originally a little lost. No one knew that the rules or laws that Downs had buried were so simple:
[A horse should be born in a stable! ]

[There should be reproductive isolation between different races! ]

[Horses are herbivorous animals of the genus Equus in the order Perissodactyla! ]

[Horses only have two genders—male or female!]

[A horse has only four legs, a head, a neck, a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a heart...]

……

Downs wrote 36 tablets about the condition of the horses.

It seems that the rules written on these law slabs are so simple that they are somewhat insulting to common sense.

But things in the world are so outrageous.

Every outrageous ban or rule that seems incredible to ordinary people is often because of an extremely outrageous case.

On the very night that the Valkyrie buried the stone slab, an uninvited guest came to the huge stable that could accommodate two teams of giants to play football games - it was a very beautiful white mare.

Shenma [Svadirfari] didn't know where the mare came from, but that didn't stop him from igniting his long-dormant heart.

The mare was beautiful and tall, seven meters at the shoulder, fully capable of bearing the violence of Svadirfarri.

The mare, exuding a strong scent of hormones, snorted, turned around and ran away.

How could Svadirfari tolerate this?
Of course you run and I chase you, and you can't escape even if you have wings.

The mare's biggest failure was misjudging Svadilfarri's speed. As a result...

The next morning, Towns saw Brunhilde, who was a little frightened.

"Your Majesty, a pony-like thing was found in the stable."

Downs went to the scene to check it out, quietly destroyed the body, and added a stone slab [Horses should have skin! ]

On the third day, the situation was similar.

Downs added 12 more tablets at once, including "A horse should have only one mouth!" and "A horse's four legs should be well-proportioned."

On the fourth day, the number of slabs increased to 88!
On the fifth day, a giant foal that looked normal but was 2 meters tall at the shoulder was finally born.

Downs breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little happy, and named the foal "Asian Divine Horse".

On the sixth day, another 36 stone slabs were added.

On the seventh day, we harvested the [Warner Horse] and the [Mead Horse].

Finally, on the 15th day, Downs took some time to figure it out and found that the goddesses and sons around him all had divine horses. He decisively and silently dug out the stone tablet of the law [Horses should be born in stables! ] and destroyed it.

On the other side, Odin found that Loki's condition was very wrong.

"Loki, what's wrong with you? Why do you go out late and come back early every day these days? Where have you been?"

"No, it's okay..." Loki smiled brightly with a pale face: "Odin, I have a small gift for you."

After saying that, he led out a colt that looked very strong.

Odin could easily sense the strong divine power emanating from the colt. "Ah! This is...given to me? How did you get it?"

"Don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you want it or not? Or do you want to ask Brother Tang Si for permission?"

Odin frowned. He had also heard that there were a lot of Shenma foals in Asgard recently. When he thought that even Thor's junior had some, Odin felt unhappy.

He accepted the four-legged horse with a big laugh and named it Sleipnir!
