I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1165 - 613: The Devouring Wolves of Sun and Moon: Hati and Skoll
"How are we supposed to pry this off?" Gu Shanhai looked at the high throne with a serious expression.
"If we use force, it might get damaged, so we need to be cautious," said Mimir, who also ignored this issue. Clearly, the pollution had further eroded him.
Otherwise, how could we possibly have overlooked something like this?
As for Gu Shanhai, well, he had considered it initially, but his logic was a bit different. His original plan was to pry off the entire Silver Hall with it, so he didn't even think about the high throne.
After all, if the Silver Hall is taken away, there's no need to worry about the high throne.
"The question is, how can we be cautious?"
Gu Shanhai checked it out and found that the high throne's function to survey the Nine Realms had failed.
No, it wasn't that it failed, but rather Asgard had fallen into the abyss, causing the view to be worse.
Vidar could use it before because it hadn't fallen that deep yet, so he could see. After they left, the collapse of the World Tree naturally accompanied Asgard's descent.
If Gu Shanhai wanted to dismantle it, it would take some time to sever the connections.
The high throne should be the key for the Ghost Hunter to detect powerful souls in the areas of magic power. In other words, this thing is the radar of the Hunting Star.
"Can you take it down?" Mimir asked.
"Yes, but I'm planning to dismantle the Silver Hall," Gu Shanhai didn't intend to dismantle the high throne at all. Why waste time and effort?
It's simpler to go for the Silver Hall directly. Of course, the workload wouldn't be reduced since the two can't be mixed up.
Even if the high throne is inside the Silver Hall. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Mimir remained silent, quietly watching Gu Shanhai's actions. In less than five minutes, the entire Silver Hall vanished, all collected into his long sleeve by Gu Shanhai.
"We have the materials, so next we..." Mimir rambled on about the plan.
He wasn't speaking to Gu Shanhai, but to himself, to reinforce his memory.
He noticed that his memory seemed to have declined significantly.
However, Gu Shanhai wasn't listening at all. After getting up, his gaze turned to the sky.
"Hati and Skoll have appeared, they are chasing Frost Star."
"These two wolves really stayed hidden deep; I thought they were dead."
Gu Shanhai suspected it was because Frost Star happened to pass by Hati and Skoll's hiding place, and unable to resist the temptation, they emerged.
"Speaking of which, why are all of Loki's sons and grandsons such strange creatures?"
He was quite puzzled. Loki, after all, looked human, but his offspring were things like Ymir, Fenrir, and even the eight-legged horse for Odin was his progeny.
Mimir didn't answer, as he didn't understand either.
"Looks like it's true what they say, like father, like son," Gu Shanhai joked with a pun. Although not all of Loki's offspring looked human, those who weren't were extremely powerful.
"Can you stop marveling and get moving? If you're late, Frost Star might end up in their stomachs."
"The current Frost Star isn't like the future one; it's not even on par with the moon. It's normal if it's swallowed whole," Mimir urged Gu Shanhai to act quickly and stop watching.
Gu Shanhai also took action immediately, reaching the battlefield in an instant.
In the sky, the two wolves chased Frost Star. Due to their close proximity, a thick layer of frost and snow formed on Hati and Skoll.
But these two wolves ignored it, instead frantically chasing.
It was lucky that Frost Star's movement speed defied logic, much faster than the average celestial body, which is why Hati and Skoll didn't catch up immediately.
"These two are quite something," Gu Shanhai didn't intervene immediately.
By his calculation, it would take Hati and Skoll another half hour to catch Frost Star unless they went berserk.
"Sun Wolf and Moon Hound, the names are indeed resonant."
Gu Shanhai couldn't help but recall the nicknames of the two wolves, which weren't coined by him but by others in a past life.
"If you say Skoll is the Sun Wolf, I'd agree, but Moon Hound doesn't suit Hati. It's a wolf, a vicious wolf," Mimir noted that the two wolves couldn't devour Frost Star anytime soon and relaxed a bit.
"Good point, a wolf is a wolf," Gu Shanhai agreed. Although dogs are descended from wolves, a wolf is never a dog.
Then, Gu Shanhai picked up two stones and threw them at Hati and Skoll.
Unsurprisingly, both stones hit the wolves on their heads.
Fortunately, Gu Shanhai controlled his strength, not using too much force, so the two wolves were only knocked out and fell straight to the ground.
Had he not held back, Hati and Skoll would have joined Mimir as a pair.
After all, Mimir doesn't have a body, and these two don't have brains.
The difference is, if they lose their heads, they probably can't survive, unlike Mimir, who can live without a body.
"It's really like a baby's sleep." Gu Shanhai reached out and pinched Hati's face, the fur wasn't very soft, but more like steel needles.
I'm not sure if it's because it's frozen so solid or if it's naturally this hard.
"Concussion, but it shouldn't be a problem." Gu Shanhai checked them; besides being unconscious, he had also given these two wolves a concussion.
As Loki's grandsons, Hati and Skoll have very good physical fitness. After all, it's just a little concussion, no big deal, they can recover even before they wake up.
"When the time comes, use these two evil wolves as the first fuel for the kindling, as a tribute." Mimir said.
Mimir had no sympathy for Hati and Skoll.
As one of the culprits of the apocalyptic battle Ragnarok, Mimir certainly wouldn't be lenient.
"You're really biased, huh." Gu Shanhai teased, "You're so good to Mandi Modhi, but so harsh to Hati and Skoll. You're favoring the eldest house over the younger one."
In terms of relations, the two evil wolves Hati and Skoll are actually brothers with Mandi and Modi.
Mandi and Modi are Odin's grandsons, and Odin and Loki are sworn brothers, so tracing it down, they're relatives.
"Why not give them to you?" Mimir didn't argue with Gu Shanhai, because he knew it would be pointless.
He might as well throw the problem back to Gu Shanhai to deal with.
"No thanks, your family's affairs are too messy for me to get involved with." Gu Shanhai was just teasing; although the familial relations in Norse mythology aren't as chaotic as in Greek mythology, they're still not easy to deal with.
Luckily, they're all dead. Otherwise, if one were to get involved when Loki was around, it'd be constant chaos.
Hati and Skoll were soon collected by Gu Shanhai, and he subdued them, ensuring they wouldn't wake up before they died.
Once they went in, naturally, the next steps were sampling and collecting data.
Even if they're meant to be used as sacrifices, since they're in Gu Shanhai's hands, he should get something out of it; otherwise, he'd only have one gain.
The value of these two evil wolves is still there, after all, one swallowed the sun, and one swallowed the moon.
"Done, I hope there will be more additional gains." Gu Shanhai knew that in this fragmented Nine Realms, there were still quite a few survivors.
These survivors are all quite powerful, which is very valuable to Gu Shanhai.
"If the Supreme Throne could still be used, then maybe we could find them." Mimir said with some regret.
"We don't necessarily need the Supreme Throne. Using Frost Star for fishing is also an option." Gu Shanhai looked at Frost Star.
In Gu Shanhai's eyes, this thing is a major hazard and a coordinate, but other survivors don't know that, they only know this star can suppress the burning World Fire.
So of course, they see it as a treasure.
Most likely, they want to claim it for themselves.
Just like Hati and Skoll, only these two evil wolves want to swallow it whole.
"That's not a good idea." Mimir immediately rejected Gu Shanhai's proposal to use Frost Star for fishing.
This involves the world's safety, and Mimir would never take such a risk, so naturally, he wouldn't agree.
"It's not that I want to do it this way, just that it can't be avoided." Gu Shanhai realized Mimir might have gotten dumber, Frost Star operates across all Nine Realms, so it's absolutely going to be seen.
"This..." Mimir's expression changed: "Am I having a problem here?"
"A little, but it's not a big deal." Gu Shanhai reassured him; it's really not a big deal because Gu Shanhai can't save him anyway, so just waiting quietly is enough, no need to struggle.
"Are you sure?" Mimir felt like Gu Shanhai was lying.
"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?" Gu Shanhai enhanced his persuasive ability with the dumb spell aura.
"That's good then."
The effect was outstanding, and Mimir believed it.
'After all these years, the dumb spell aura is the most useful...' Gu Shanhai couldn't help but complain, it's even more effective than healing spells.
He hasn't used physical persuasion for a long time, instead opting for the dumb spell persuasion.
First lower the other party's intelligence, then persuade them.
The other party would be convinced by lousy arguments and wouldn't suspect a thing.
'Should I eventually switch to specializing in oratory or charisma?' Gu Shanhai was considering changing his specialty since he rarely uses healing spells.
