Chapter 281: Celebration Banquet
Odin slept again
Richard's impression of Odin was a sleepy bug. Usually, the cow doesn't dare to disobey the Nine Realms, but when it comes to the critical moment, the chain will be dropped. I remember that in the original work, there was really some god-level boss Odin in the Nine Realms, who has always been paddling and fishing, or the person who came was too awesome for him to beat, so he could only mutter something every day "Ragnarok is coming" and give up treatment; Either that, although the person who came was not as good as him, but he happened to be sleeping again during that time......
Old man Odin sleeps differently from ordinary people dozing off, and people call it "Odin's sleep", which is still a skill. There are many effects and effects of this trick, which will not be repeated here, and its most striking feature is that once the old man closes his eyes, he must sleep until he wakes up naturally, otherwise even if Thor thunders near his ears, it will not be good.
But the old man didn't sleep not long ago, why did he sleep again so quickly?
Thor saw that he seemed puzzled, so he patiently explained, "This is a normal situation. Father often had to enter Odin's Sleep, mainly to use his Odin powers to replenish Asgard's magic and strengthen Asgard's defenses. But every time he enters Odin's Sleep, Asgard's power is weaker than ever, so I need to be by his side to guard it myself. ”
Brother Hammer paused, and said to himself, "But today's situation is really abnormal. Although there have been many clashes between us outside the city walls before, they have never been as violent as today, and even Ymir himself rushed over. There is no doubt that they wanted to take advantage of Odin's Sleep to defeat Asgard. It's good that you're here this time, otherwise this victory will inevitably cost even more sacrifices......"
Richard frowned and didn't speak.
Is Odin's Sleep normal
There should really be nothing wrong with this in itself, after all, whether it is mythology or Odin in various versions of Marvel Comics, he is a sleepy bug.
But it's only been since he last slept, and Old Man Odin is planning to hibernate
Richard felt that there might be something that Asgard couldn't tell him about the outsider, but he had already sensed that something was wrong.
The same is true of Odin in the movie, who seems to be a top combat power, but if you look at all the movies in the fourth stage, you will find that this old man has been paddling. In the end, in the Thor 3 movie, the old man didn't even do anything and hung up inexplicably, and the casualness of his bento was on par with that of another big man in the movie, the Ancient One Mage.
All signs are showing that the old man really seems to be about to lose his hold.
Immortality in the Marvel system is an extremely rare thing, and only big men like the Elders of the Universe and the Creation God who can control the energy of the universe are the closest to immortality, and in addition, even if he raises his hand, the old man Odin who can destroy the Nine Realms can't escape the sanctions of the years after all.
Richard could only estimate very unoptimistically that the old man's deadline was approaching, and he would soon be going to the west.
The old man was not there, so Richard could only retreat and discuss with His Majesty the Prince. So he briefly explained his intentions, mentioning that he had destroyed the Hammer of Scati in Antarctica, and wanted to ask Old Man Odin to confirm whether the Jörmungard side who had been sealed by him was safe, and whether the seal needed to be reinforced.
Jörmungard is Thor's nemesis in mythology, and both sides are destined to die together, so Thor has naturally heard this story. Richard's description quickly caught his attention, but unfortunately Thor said that only his father Odin knew about the place where the serpent was sealed, so he had to wait for the old man to wake up.
Richard asked the old man how long he would have to sleep, wouldn't he sleep for ten and a half years, Thor waved his hand, and said don't worry, our dad is not so lazy, he will sleep for a week at most, and he will get up soon.
By the way, Thor also graciously invited him to stay for the victory celebrations after the war. Post-war celebrations are the most important part of the fighting nation of Asgard, and even if the sky falls, the banquet must not be saved. Thor said that if Richard, who was the MVP of the game, wasn't there, they would have been a little less happy to celebrate.
"Don't worry." "Just wait a week, just come to Asgard." The Great Serpent has been sealed for thousands of years, and what can go wrong in this week, besides, we have Heimdall monitoring everything that happens in the Nine Realms at all times. Heimdall is the guardian of Asgard, and he has an all-powerful 'all-seeing eye' that no one can escape. ”
Richard thought that Uncle Heimdall seemed to be a very reliable guardian, but he didn't keep it when the frost giant came, he didn't keep it when the dark elves came, and he didn't keep it when Hella came, so people couldn't help but want to ask, "Look what you're protecting"
But what Thor said is not without reason. It's been sealed for thousands of years, and Jörmungard hasn't moved at all, so it's impossible that he has only been gone for less than a week, and the big snake has come out to rule the world
If it really happened to be that way, Richard suspected that he might be a non-chief in Ultraman, with a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
So Richard came down and decided to stay in their palace for a week, and wait for the old man to wake up and ask questions.
The Asgardian banquet did not have so many cumbersome etiquette and preparations, and the banquet was relatively simple, with a room full of big fish and meat, and a few vat of wine dragged over. Many people don't even bother to change their clothes, and they go straight to the table wearing shiny armor, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.
However, one thing is the same as the banquet on earth, the theme of the banquet is also eating and drinking. The Asgardian brothers ate fish and meat, and some even held a large vat of wine directly, full of the bold atmosphere of ancient chivalry.
At first, Richard was a little unaccustomed to the fish and chicken thighs on the table, but once he accepted the setting, he found that the cooking skills of the barbarians seemed to be quite good. Some of the food has a special sauce like Asgard, and the taste is quite unique.
Richard thought that some of the sauces would be delicious to cook and that he wanted to take them back to his two tenants to taste, so he casually asked Thor if he could bring him two bottles. Thor waved his hand and said no problem, I'll have someone pack it for you and send a carriage back in a few days......
Richard was also mentally prepared, since he came to Asgard for dinner, the wine would definitely not be able to escape no matter what. Sure enough, not long before the feast began, the big man who had a relationship with each other raised his glass to him: "To the warriors from Midgard, the warriors with the power of the star giants!" ”
The Asgardian warriors cheered together. Soon someone filled him with a glass of wine and handed it to him, and the smell was quite strong.
Richard glanced at the glass, thought for a moment, and reached out to take it.
Jokes, I can still be knocked down by a small glass of wine
Done!
