Stupid Odin

Odin was about to agree when he suddenly heard several loud-mouthed giants 'muttering' at 120 decibels:

"Odin? Can that kid do it?"

"Can he beat that Njord?"

"He can't beat Njord. Why should those cunning Vanir gods obey him?"

Odin was suddenly startled. He realized that his big brother was truly generous to him. Such compensation would be considered a great favor anywhere. The key was that he needed to be strong himself. If he couldn't convince the masses, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Vanir king, even if it were given to him!

At this point in time, Odin, still having a pure heart, felt a surge of shame.

What am I thinking?

Big brother can get the most beautiful goddess because big brother is strong enough!

Before I prove my bravery, why should I want the most beautiful goddess?

Odin raised his head forcefully and solemnly patted his chest with his right hand, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I, Odin, hereby swear that I will conquer the Vanir within a year and complete the conquest of the Vanir."

"A year? It actually takes a year?" Giant Thiazi grumbled.

Seeing is not necessarily believing. Everyone saw Thanes casually kill Njord three times, and felt that this Vanir god-king was nothing special. Odin actually said it would take a year? Everyone immediately felt that Odin was not capable.

The other giants nodded in agreement, and many Aesir gods either frowned or directly nodded in approval.

Odin cursed inwardly: Why did you have to be so talkative?

Thanes was delighted: Well done!

Odin quickly changed his words: "Half a year, no, I, your younger brother, only need three months."

"Good!" Thanes decided: "Then it's three months. Within the Aesir tribe, except for me, Balder, Bestla, and the goddesses, the rest are at your disposal. If anyone is afraid of battle, you can kill him!"

Odin immediately felt a hundred times more confident: This Vanir god-king! I, Odin, am destined to be it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

There was an uproar within the Aesir tribe.

To be honest, if Thanes broke his promise, considering the recent great victory, everyone would not say anything. Your Majesty, your fist is big, whatever you say is right, at most they would murmur a few words in their hearts afterward.

Thanes not only frankly admitted his mistake, but also gave an unimaginable compensation plan, which made it difficult to say whether he was a wise king, or whether he was training his younger brother along the way.

Regardless of which, this was not only the god-king's family affair, but also an opportunity for the other giants and Aesir gods to come forward.

Under the god-king, Thor and his offspring occupied the second echelon. As long as Thor and the others were there, the gods and giants without direct blood relations would not want to rise to the top. On the other hand, Odin only had one offspring, Vali, at most adding the Loki brothers as followers, which was far from enough to rule a god tribe.

Thanes doing this was not only giving benefits to his younger brother, but also giving benefits to the gods and giants.

This also demonstrates the abundant martial virtue tradition of the Aesir tribe.

If you can fight, you can take the position, if you can't fight, then get out!

Hearing Odin say the 'three-month agreement,' the gods and giants finally showed satisfied smiles.

"That's right! That's how it should be!"

"Odin, we have high hopes for you!"

The giants' loud voices echoed in the Hall of Merriment. The gods also nodded frequently to Odin.

In an instant, all the frustration in Odin's heart disappeared, and at this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude to his elder brother.

He seized the opportunity: "Since Your Majesty has given me, your younger brother, such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Then I can't be constrained by external things. I don't want my share of the spoils, I'll give it to other meritorious officials."

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

So, according to the order of merit, Thor was assigned Njord's eldest daughter, Radweig, and Tyr was assigned the younger daughter, Kruppvoll, as a maid. The other meritorious officials each received their rewards.

With the spoils distributed, the lively atmosphere in the Hall of Merriment reached a new level.

Dwarf musicians played their instruments with all their might, and beautiful light elves kept flying and shuttling in the air above the Hall of Merriment, serving the gods and giants with wine and delicacies.

In the middle of the venue, several Vanir goddesses danced gracefully in response to the music.

Seeing this scene, Búri and his wife were extremely satisfied.

"Passing the throne of god-king to Thanes was definitely the most correct decision in my life."

"Isn't that right, my dear."

The excited Bestla sat down on him, fortunately Búri reacted quickly and decisively grew bigger, otherwise he was afraid he would be crushed to death. Búri carried her like this and strolled to the back hall.

Thanes glanced at this scene and was rarely shy. He also carried Freyja to the back hall, and Gulveig and the Valkyries who served her hurriedly followed with small steps.

With the god-king present, everyone always felt restrained. As soon as Thanes left, the Hall of Merriment immediately reached its peak. Many victors couldn't wait to enjoy their spoils here.

Through the not-yet-closed hall door, seeing everything that happened in the main hall, Freyja couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Thanes.

Just then, Thanes unexpectedly found Odin and Loki waiting for him, along with Vili.

"What's wrong? My good brother."

Odin breathed a sigh of relief and said with sincerity and a smile, "Big brother, I'm so afraid you'll call me 'stupid brother' again."

No! You are still that stupid brother!

The actor Thanes slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "You did a very good job this time."

"Thank you for the praise." Odin deliberately avoided looking at the goddess of spoils on his elder brother's shoulder, and considered, "Thank you for your support, big brother. I will fight this battle against the Vanir tribe beautifully."

Thanes earnestly said: "Njord's strength is not simple. You were too impatient this time. If you had extended the time to a year, your brother could have helped you clean him up very easily."

As soon as Thanes' words fell, he clearly felt the person on his shoulder tremble slightly, and Gulveig, who was following closely behind, became breathless, her eyes becoming incomparably hot.

One was sad, the other was the fanaticism of a convert.

The most interesting reaction was Odin, he clearly showed a tangled expression, and then, he did not hide his ambition: "Big brother, I think I can do it. If I have to borrow big brother's strength, then I am not worthy of being the Vanir god-king."

Stupid brother! You said that!

Loki, being so unlucky, dug a huge pit for Odin, and he actually followed up and said: "Odin, if you are so useless, you might as well guard Jotunheim with me."

Odin was stunned for a moment, and felt that he couldn't weaken his momentum, so he patted his chest and vowed: "If I can't take down Njord in three months, I will roll to Jotunheim to guard it for the Aesir tribe."

Thanes really wanted to roll his eyes, he began to understand why the Edda almost wrote a sentence between the lines [It's all Loki's fault]!

Whenever the Aesir tribe faced a problem and had no solution, it was Loki who came up with ideas.

Good ideas are his, bad ideas are his.

Loki, a guy with a god-devil duality, can take the Aesir tribe to heaven, and can also trap them in hell.

You must know that in the prose version of [Edda], Njord managed to survive [Ragnarok] without dying, became the new leader of the two tribes, and in turn killed several of Odin's remaining sons.

If Njord, who is sitting in the home field, is really so easy to clean up, he would not have fought with the Aesir tribe for several years, fighting until the two tribes suffered huge losses, were exhausted, and were forced to make peace.

Facing the pit dug by 'his own people' Loki, you Odin are really jumping down!

Stupid brother, then don't blame me, big brother, for being cruel.
