Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 66 Loki's Bet

Towns doesn't care how those heroes become in the other world.

As someone in the highest position, many times, human life is just a number.

What's more, the so-called heroic spirits are a new version of waste utilization. They are dead anyway, and Towns gave them another chance at life. They should thank Towns.

What's the risk of dying again?
This is not a problem at all for the heroic spirit who has a heroic character.

Towns fired all these heroes at once and left them alone.

This is just a casual move. If it succeeds, it will be a pleasant surprise. If it fails, Towns will not be angry. The God King should just waste some resources.

With Jinlunjia's background, they can afford to lose just a group of heroes.

He turned his gaze to Loki again.

Five years ago, he punished Loki by making him give Sif a magical golden hair as compensation. Loki did it quickly, but the method he used was not so glorious.

Quite simply, Rocky didn't pay the bill.

He was not the dwarf's direct superior, and even if he was Downs, he would not ask the dwarves to work without paying them. Back then, Downs asked the dwarves and gnomes to forge [Gungnir] and [Sword of the Nine Realms], and the reward was to teach the dwarves how to use some runes and runes.

The process of Loki asking the dwarves to make magic wigs was different from the method in the epic. After he brought the gold given by Odin to the dwarf master craftsman Iverdi, Loki falsely conveyed the imperial decree, saying that this was the order of Downs.

Ivándiz gladly accepted the order, but Towns only learned about it when he reported it to him by chance later.

Tang Si silently agreed: "This is indeed my order. Ivandi, I can pay your reward on behalf of Loki."

"No, no! It is our honor to serve the God-King." Ivandi refused.

"But if Loki comes to you again, you still have to accept the reward."

"Uh, I see."

Loki's dual nature as a god and a ghost was fully manifested today, five years later.

On this day, he sneaked into the dwarf's workshop again and falsely conveyed the imperial decree.

"Ivanerdi, I was asked by the God King Tangs to build a fun ship for His Majesty. No, it is a divine ship that can sail at high speed on the sea. As you know, His Majesty has recently received the priesthood of the [Ocean], and this is the time when he cannot be distracted."

Towns didn't give this order at all. Loki just wanted to see if the old dwarf could come up with anything new.

As expected of the God of Trickery, when Loki speaks nonsense in a serious tone, you simply cannot tell whether he is telling the truth or a lie.

Ivandi instinctively remembered what Towns had said before, and although he had his doubts, he finally did as he was told.

He expended a great deal of energy and spent a month to build the magical ship [Skid Platney].

As soon as Loki left the workshop after receiving the goods, he ran into Iverdi's second son, Brock. He boasted proudly, "I heard that among Iverdi's sons, your brother Hindley is the most famous, but even he can't make such an exquisite artifact, right?"

It was true that Brock was an honest man, but he had also heard that his father suspected Loki of falsely conveying the imperial decree. Looking at Loki's frivolous look, he instinctively felt that his father had been deceived by Loki again.

Moreover, even if they were father and son, as craftsmen, reputation was extremely important. When Loki said this, wasn't he scolding Hindley for not being able to surpass his master?
Brock raised an eyebrow, "So what if my big brother does it?"

Loki started boasting, forgetting everything else: "If you can really do it, I'll let Hindley chop off my head." Sometimes, this is just the kind of pride that the dwarves want.

In the epic, Loki asked the dwarves to make three artifacts at once, namely, Kungunir, the magic ship and the golden wig, before showing them off to Brokk. Sindri and Brokk were so angry that they made three artifacts including Thor's hammer to compete with the three treasures in Loki's hand.

In this life, because of Downs's intervention, the course of history has long been different from that in the epics of the Edda. Gungnir was just a process, but Mjolnir, the hammer of the god of thunder, was made long ago under Downs's orders. It was because of Loki's mischief that he turned into a big blood fly and bit Brokk's hand, causing him to stop pumping the bellows, resulting in the handle of the thunder hammer being shortened.

Although Mjolnir is still extremely powerful, it is regarded as a disgrace by Sindery and Brock in this life.

So since it was rare for Loki to talk himself into death, Brock immediately agreed to the death bet: "Okay! If my big brother can make a better artifact than Skid Platney, I will take your head!"

Loki was stunned for a moment. He felt dangerous and a little unwilling: "What if it can't be done, or if it's not as good as my boat?"

"If you don't do well, you will get nothing. As for the judging criteria, I will leave it to His Majesty the Divine King Downs Paulson to judge."

"Well, okay! It's a deal." Loki is like this, either he is seeking death or he is on the way to seeking death.

With a little provocation, he immediately got the dwarf brothers to work at full capacity.

Hindley soaked a piece of pig skin in gold and threw it into the furnace seemingly casually. Not long after, a huge and mighty golden wild boar appeared.

Hindley also offered a buy one get one free promotion and created a magic gold bracelet.

Brok sneered: "Loki, didn't you say that my elder brother is not as good as our father? Now the gold bracelet that matches the gold wig has been made. Let's go to His Majesty the God King to seek justice."

The dwarf brothers grabbed Loki without saying a word and made a scene all the way to the Golden Palace of Asgard, which also attracted the gods to come and watch the show.

Downs looked at the two groups of guys at the steps of the throne and found it quite interesting after listening to their statements.

As expected, with Loki around, Asgard will never be boring.

For most of the Aesir gods, you never know whether Loki will bring you a surprise or a shock in the next second.

For a certain time traveler God King, this is another matter.

This is called reenacting a classic story!

Hindley was not good at speaking, so most of the statements were made by Bullock.

Brock saluted again and said, "Your Majesty the Supreme God King, this is the situation. Please make the most fair judgment."

On the left hand side of the steps below the throne is the sacred treasure ship [Skid Platney].

Although it is 320 meters long and 78 meters wide, as big as an aircraft carrier, it can shrink to the size of a palm and fit in your pocket after chanting a spell.

Its shape is very similar to the classic Viking longship.

It has a relatively flat bottom, a high-raised dragon head figurehead, and a classic square sail.

The decks of Midgardian ships of this era, whether warships or cargo ships, were open to the sky and therefore could not serve as a shield against wind and rain.

The wind, rain and huge waves still made the Midgardians cold and wet, and it was common for people to freeze to death or be swept into the sea and drowned by huge waves at night. This shows that humans believed that such a conquest across the sea undoubtedly required immense courage and firm perseverance, and that they had to endure great pain before they could achieve victory.
