Stupid Odin

Here's a key point: eating mutton is fine, but you absolutely mustn't damage the goat's bones and fur. After each meal, simply wrap the fur around all the bones, recite a few Runas incantations, and give it a whack with the Thunder Hammer, and the goat will be perfectly resurrected with full health.

These goat brothers not only pull the chariot but also endure the knife and provide meat.

For the goat brothers, it's truly a raw deal.

For the gods, however, it's incredibly convenient.

They set off.

As soon as they left, Thor received an unexpected visitor at the Silver Palace.

"Hela, what's the matter?" Thor was slightly surprised.

Tonight, Hela was dressed beautifully, a black silk evening gown with a rather high slit on the right leg, paired with a low-cut bodice and a seemingly mature and graceful figure, which could easily stir up fantasies.

Thor glanced at her and immediately looked away: "I'm sorry, Hela, you've guessed wrong. My target isn't your second brother."

"Ah! Your Majesty, you... you know why I've come?" Hela blushed deeply. Thor's words made her realize she had misunderstood.

Thor picked up a wine glass from the side and swirled the mead inside, allowing the intoxicating aroma to waft out. Asgard has the magical goat Heidrun's mead, but unfortunately, it gets tiresome after drinking too much. He had banned brewing in the mortal realm for several years, and seeing that Ragnarok hadn't arrived yet, he lifted the ban on a quota basis. This was already a rare luxury.

"Jormungandr, is it?" Thor took a sip of the mead. "I can promise you, as long as it doesn't continue to grow and participate in the siege of Asgard, I will spare it."

Fate had already taken a subtle turn several years ago.

Since being fished up by Thor, Jormungandr continued to grow, but it was far from the gigantic size in the epics that could encircle the entire Midgard.

Whether it was because the sea was physically separated, or Thor's warning took effect, Jormungandr developed cautiously and did not recklessly absorb the power of chaos, hunting other creatures in the sea for food.

The current Jormungandr could at most be called the Sea King of one of the Seven Seas.

Thor could fully accept Jormungandr at this size because it was within a controllable range.

With the current power of Thor, to beat up Jormungandr, as long as it wasn't in the water, Thor could defeat it without injury in minutes.

Not to mention, Thor also had the ruthless trick of pulling the plug and draining the water.

The gods only knew that Thor had the [Ocean] divine authority, but they didn't know that Thor had left this move as a backup when reshaping the world.

Since it was controllable, killing Jormungandr was no longer a fixed option.

Hela breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, it's still my second brother, after all."

Thor turned around and looked out the window: "In my eyes, there is only one thing that can be called a monster—that is, something uncontrollable, reckless, and determined to be an enemy of the Aesir."

Hela pursed her lips; she knew Thor was referring to Fenrir's son, the [Moon-Chasing Wolf] Skoll!

"My father and I have no objections to Skoll..."

Hela's words did not include her mother.

This couldn't be helped; Angrboda had an almost fanatical obsession with each of her children.

"I believe that the Aesir and the Loki family can coexist. You may leave."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hela politely bowed and silently retreated.

Thor looked at the mead in the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Chaos is indeed a troublesome thing!"

Norse mythology has ten very famous monsters; it is no exaggeration to say that the Loki family contributed half of them. They are: the world-destroying wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jormungandr, the sun-chasing wolf Skoll, the moon-chasing wolf Hati, and Hela's pet hellhound Garm.

Now, these five doomsday experts are basically settled or controllable.

Thor naturally turned his attention to the remaining five...

Thor's gaze became fierce: "I want to see how much power [Ragnarok] will still have if I clean up all ten monsters!"

On the other side, not long after Thor and Loki set off, Loki, trying to delay the time, suggested a trip to Alfheim, the Land of Light.

"The honey there is quite good. Shall we rest there for the night?"

Just as Thor was also hungry, the two foodies hit it off and ran to a random Light Elf's place to stay.

As divine servants, the elves, seeing that it was Thor, immediately welcomed him warmly and offered their best things. Unfortunately, the nature-loving elves ate too vegetarian, and Thor, who loved meat, could only slaughter a goat.

The smell of grilled mutton, plus the cumin 'invented' by God-King Thor, filled the courtyard.

The elves had never eaten anything so good, and they immediately ate with greasy mouths.

Full and satisfied, Thor went to rest. Before going to bed, he repeatedly told them not to touch the goat bones and to wrap them in the goat skin.

The cunning Loki knew the nature of mortal beings. Seeing the young male elf Thialfi looking curious, Loki deliberately repeated it again.

Sure enough, that night, Thialfi ate the remaining mutton and finally couldn't resist drilling a small hole in the goat bones to suck the delicious marrow.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ send!

As a result, when Thor performed the resurrection ritual the next morning, he found that the goat had indeed come back to life, but one goat was limping.

The goat cart couldn't fly for the time being and had to rest and recover for a while.

The key was that they couldn't eat mutton during this period.

This made Thor quite angry, and the elves quickly apologized. As punishment, Thor took Thialfi and his sister Roskva as servants.

Without the flying goat cart and not daring to fly with Mjolnir, Thor had the two flying elves plus Loki transform into birds. The three guys made a net and carried Thor to the Ironwood.

Here, Loki unexpectedly discovered traces of the shapeshifter Skrymir.

Loki didn't expect that Skrymir had really created a fake Golden Apple tree. That guy smeared gold powder on the apples, making the apples look almost identical to Idunn's Golden Apples from a distance.

However, it probably wasn't used.

Thor and Loki found the petite footprints of the goddess Idunn near the tree.

Thor was curious: "Why didn't the enemy directly kidnap the goddess Idunn and come here instead?"

Loki shrugged: "I don't know, most likely that guy really wanted to win Idunn's heart?"

"That's too ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Your grandfather Bor kidnapped your grandmother in the same way back then. Didn't they end up together in the end?"

Loki's mouth could sometimes really piss people off.

Could you not mention this? This damn thing has become the Aesir's black history.

Thor changed the subject: "Have you found any traces of that guy?"

"Found it. Idunn probably deliberately lured that guy here and then flew away with him." Loki pointed to a piece of gold fragment on a tree. He jumped onto the tree and took it down: "Look, this is a fragment of the Golden Apple. Idunn is using this method to guide the companions who come to investigate."

"Let's go!"

The two gods and two elves chased all the way and finally came to the north side of the Ironwood, in front of the sea that runs between Midgard and Jotunheim.
