Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 94: Winning the Lottery (10 more)
Thor turned to Loki and asked, "Fly?"

Loki rolled his eyes.

Fly? How else can he delay time?
Loki said to Thor in a reasonable tone: "Your goat is not fully recovered yet."

Thor was deflated.

What else could he do?

We can't just stop here.

The poor Thor could only run and chop wood, carry it over, and throw it to Loki and the others to tinker with. After spending most of the day, they finally built a huge raft.

The trees in the Iron Forest are very tall, generally over 20 meters tall. Thor is very strong, so he easily put together a large raft that is 60 meters long and 20 meters wide.

Thor had to admit that while he was good at hard work, Loki was better at fancy work. In many places, Loki did not do it himself, but just pointed and instructed the two servants to chisel out mortise and tenon joints on the wood to make the wood firmly fixed.

This raft is not good-looking, but it is strong. Even if the ropes that bind the wood break, it will not fall apart. Then peel off the skin of the wild animals hunted in the forest, sew it with plant fibers, and a simple version of the sail is ready.

Before setting off, Thor asked, "Wait, Loki, do you think Iden will be diverted to Jotunheim? If so, why do we bother? Wouldn't it be better to set off directly from Odin's castle?"

Feeling a little guilty, Loki forced himself to analyze, "What are you thinking? Odin is guarding Jotunheim. No matter how stupid that guy is, he can't take Iden there. In my opinion, she is on an island in the sea."

"Okay, you convinced me."

The scenery of the sea was new to the Aesir and the Light Elves. They were very excited in the first few days, riding on the sea breeze, but as time went by, they began to get bored.

In the past few days, the question Thor asked most often was, "Loki, did you take the right path?"

Loki rolled his eyes. He hoped that they had gone the wrong way. He said, "Even if Iden dropped the golden apple pieces, they would be eaten by fish. Without any clues, what else can we do? We can just keep wandering around. If we run out of food, we can just fly away."

Thor was delighted: "I think my goat is getting better. How about..."

"No!" Loki refused decisively.

The weather at sea can change at any time.

That afternoon, within a short period of time, a torrential downpour suddenly fell on the sea. The waves beat against the side of the raft, as if they were going to smash the "shoddy" raft to pieces in one go.

The raft was actually stronger than Thor had imagined, but every corner of the raft made a frightening creaking noise, and it felt like the raft would fall apart at any second.

The thunder in the distance made Thor feel familiar, but he didn't like the rough sea.

The white waves rolling in the darkness always felt like they would pull him to the bottom of the sea at any time.

Underwater is the only fighting place Thor is not good at.

The storm at sea was getting stronger and stronger. In the distance, there were extremely exaggerated 15-meter-high triangular waves. This scene made Thor's two servants a little scared.

Thor comforted him, "Don't worry, [Ocean] is the ministry of my father God Tangs, he will protect us."

This is obviously true. Although the waves are higher than one another in the distance, the overwhelming momentum is very scary. When the waves approach the raft, they will calm down in a very short distance, and those high waves will soon disappear below the sea level.

This scene made Loki a little envious.

It is so convenient to have a father who is a God King, and he is in charge of the Ocean.

If it were any other ship, it would probably have been sunk by the huge waves long ago, leaving only a bare mast or broken wood pieces floating on the sea.

Just then, a faint singing voice was heard from afar.

The voice was extremely melodious and beautiful. Even by Thor's standards, it seemed that there were only three or five goddesses in the entire divine realm whose voices could reach this standard.

It's not that the goddesses' voices are bad, but the charm in this song is something that most goddesses can't sing, or they are reluctant to sing because of their modesty. "Is this... a mermaid?"

On the sea not far away, there was a beautiful mermaid with two shells on her upper body swimming back and forth. She smiled sweetly and waved to Thor and the others.

Come on! It's safe here!

That's what they seemed to say.

Thor was a little moved. He just looked at Loki and saw Loki shudder.

"My mother, Lao Fei, once said that when you go out, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is."

Thor really wanted to complain, your mother is a giant, can she teach this?

But before Thor could say anything, the sea suddenly changed.

"Boom!" A muffled sound came from the bottom of the raft, followed by a crisp "crack" sound.

The two servants turned pale.

Don't underestimate this raft. There is no fragile wood in the Iron Forest. Something that can break the raft must be very hard.

Everyone was stunned, only to see the faces of the "mermaids" suddenly split open, revealing hideous petal-shaped faces and a mouth full of terrifying fangs, attempting to attack them. Not only that, the sea level seemed to be rising, and a huge amount of sea water gushed up from the bottom of the sea, pouring out from both sides of the raft, pushing the raft straight up.

"Fly!" Thor couldn't bear it any longer, and summoned the goat chariot. He waved the reins, and the two goats flew into the air, carrying the four of them into the air.

Less than three seconds after they left the raft, a mournful cry of breaking came from the poor raft. The thick wood was sucked into the water and completely crushed like noodles by a mysterious force.

"What is that?" The servant Xiafei pointed to the tall black shadow in the sea.

The black shadow was not a dead object. Even though there was an unknown depth of sea water between them, one could still see it slowly moving through the little sunlight that filtered through the clouds.

There were more than one black shadow, and countless of them were pointing to the large island that was looming in the storm.

This island is really big, estimated to be at least dozens of square kilometers, and is covered with dense mangroves.

But looking at the island, Thor had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Somehow, he remembered his father's instructions before he set out.

Thor realized what this thing was. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted: "I won the jackpot!"

"Big prize?" Loki was stunned.

"That's right! Big prize!"

This was not the end. The sharp-eyed Roscoe pointed to the island and said, "Look, is that the golden apple?"

Most light elves are excellent archers, and their eyesight is unquestionable.

Thor let the goat approach the island and they both stared.

Yes, that’s right, I won the jackpot.

Good news: The targets ordered by Goddess Iden and the God King have been found.

Bad news: Eden, who needs to be rescued, is on the head of a giant sea monster.

The two gods and two elves felt stunned as if they had been cruelly played by fate.
