Chapter 21: The Banquet
Then Loki started telling the story.
"I don't know what he was for. Asgard, though not friendly with the Frost Giants before, fought against them. But peace between us has been maintained for thousands of years. My father's Odin sleep is imminent, and what Asgard needs most is stability, but my brother is provoking war at this critical moment, huh..."
He lamented and said, "My father has punished him and wants to exile him, what can I bear?" Lord Guardian, the great Odin has decided to exile my brother Thor, the god of thunder, to Midgard, which is the earth, and I beg you to help me take care of my brother without going against your will, I am afraid that he will suffer in Midgard. He doesn't know anything but fights, which is really worrying. ”
Chang Wei was stunned and said, "Is there such a thing? ”
Loki said, "Yes. The great Odin, my father, invited the Guardian to Asgard primarily to discuss this matter with the Guardian. ”
Chang Wei nodded: "I see." ”
Not much to say, with the speed of the spaceship, the Golden Palace is already in front of you.
Odin was very face-saving, and when Chang Wei stepped off the spaceship, Odin took his wife Friga and a dozen or so important members of Asgard to greet him outside the main hall of the Golden Palace.
It can be seen that Odin treats the guardian of the earth at the same level.
Odin is very old, with white hair and beard, but he has a strong body and a straight backbone, sharp eyes, and a vigorous spirit, which people dare not underestimate in the slightest.
Dressed in golden armor and carrying an ancient spear in his hand, he greeted Chang Wei with one eye, and after a moment's look, he laughed and said, "Welcome, new guardian of Midgard." I am Odin, King of Asgard! ”
Chang Wei stepped forward and made a mockery: "Poor Dao Chang Wei, Dao Dade, I have seen Odin." ”
The eyes of the two collided, and a few fires stirred up in the air. Then Odin laughed and said, "Dade Zhenren, please." ”
Then he entered the Golden Palace and sat down as guests.
First of all, there was some small talk.
Odin sat on the throne of the god-king, and Friga accompanied him, and he smiled, "It's really old. The last time we met the Ancient One here was more than a hundred years ago. ”
Then he showed a look of concern: "I don't know how the Ancient One Mage is doing now?" ”
Chang Wei smiled, and did not shy away from it, and said: "I have some contradictions with Gu Yi, she took my life, so I had a fight with her, and now Gu Yi is thinking about it behind closed doors." ”
Odin didn't move. With his divine powers, what happened before on Earth could not escape his one-eyed. Naturally, he knew that the great virtuous real person in front of him overthrew the ancient one by force, and then replaced him. The position of guardian of Midgard was not a peaceful one.
But it had little to do with him. Whoever the guardian of the earth is, it is an internal matter of the earth. It's like Asgard has never ruled the Earth for so many years. He doesn't care who the Guardian of the Earth is.
However, Chang Wei can overthrow the ancient one, and he must not be a simple person. Although Odin is confident that he is still strong, he has to be cautious.
This time, Chang Wei was specially invited as a guest, and the exile of Thor was just a trivial matter, but it was really better to meet with the new guardian and understand each other's attitudes.
Hearing Chang Wei's words, the Asgardian gods on the throne around him had different expressions.
The Ancient One is very strong, and the whole of Asgard, except for Odin, can't compare to the others. But such a character was violently overthrown, which shows that the new guardian in front of him is by no means an idle person, and he must not be underestimated.
"A new generation replaces the old."
Odin nodded: "Just like I will be old, the ancient one mage may not be able to keep up with the times." Midgard is a member of the Nine Realms, and now there are Dade Zhenren guarding the earth, which also shows that the defense power of the Nine Realms is getting stronger and stronger, which is a happy thing. ”
Then he said: "When the ancient one was here, he and I were close and friendly to Asgard, and we were horns and watched over each other. I don't know if Dade Zhenren has any new ideas. ”
When Chang Wei heard this, he didn't bend around and said bluntly: "Poor Dao is a monk, and he is the most troublesome in mundane affairs. If it weren't for Gu Yi's insistence on having a fight with me, I wouldn't have bothered to do it. After all, I was also from the earth, so I couldn't just watch it, and the methods before the ancient one were too crude, so I improved it a little. The relationship with Asgard, I do not contradict the views of the ancient one. The earth and Asgard are like brothers, and with Asgard guarding them, I have less trouble. ”
When Odin heard this, he felt Chang Wei's sincerity, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Dade Zhenren is right, Asgard and Midgard are like brothers. ”
He was also relieved.
He's old, and although he's not afraid of anyone at Asgard's home stadium, he doesn't have the absolute confidence to kill anyone. When people are old, they think differently, not to mention that he is about to enter Odin's sleep, and before he wakes up, Asgard has no leader, and if something happens at this time, he will regret it.
Therefore, building a good relationship and watching over each other is Odin's true intention.
Knowing Chang Wei's attitude, Odin breathed a sigh of relief. As the frontier of the Nine Realms, Asgard is certainly in the most suitable position in the era of forging ahead. But the current Asgard is no longer an era of forging ahead, but an era of conservatism. Then at the forefront, once there is a change, it must be a big change.
Odin needed a watchman who could support each other.
The unity of the nine worlds is not a lie. If something goes wrong in Asgard, the planet will be affected. Therefore, the guardians of the earth will not sit idly by.
Of course, if the guardians of the Earth had another idea, such as replacing Asgard, that would be another matter.
This is also the real reason why Odin asked Chang Wei to determine his attitude.
This was followed by a grand welcome banquet.
Compared with the ancient Norse tradition, the banquet in Asgard is very down-to-earth, lively and wild. In the square just outside the main hall of the Golden Palace, thousands of Asgardians sang and danced, barbecued, drank, laughed, wrestled, and fought around piles of bonfires.
As a substantially most advanced civilization in the Transcendent Realm, Asgard has preserved their oldest traditions.
Someone came up to challenge. Of course, it is not a direct challenge to Chang Wei. And it's not a provocation, it's a custom.
Of course, Chang Wei wouldn't go out to fight the Asgardian warriors on his own, that would be a bit of a Luther. So Linda and Shao Liwen did it for them.
Naturally, ordinary Asgardian warriors and generals are by no means opponents of the two women.
They are all monks of the Body God Realm, and they have opened up nearly ten acupoints, and they are close to breaking through the passing line of the Yuan Shen. Here, only the members of Asgard, who have the divine throne, have the ability to defeat them.
