The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 927 - 64: Say, are you and Odin having an affair!
Chapter 927 -64: Say, are you and Odin having an affair!
Upon receiving the message, Luo En woke up the drowsy Eden who was on the bed and brought Heluo with him to the Dwarf Palace.
Entering the hall, the trio found Odin in casual black attire and a broad-brimmed hat, sitting in the hall, cheerfully drinking malt wine with the Old Dwarf King Ivald as if they were old friends reunited after many years.
Upon seeing them enter, Odin immediately stood up and welcomed them with laughter:
“Loki, my brother, you’ve arrived! Come, take a seat quickly!”
Luo En politely and warmly embraced the enthusiastic Odin, then, together with Heluo and Eden, took their seats as invited.
He glanced at the seven or eight empty wine jars on the table and a glint of surprise flashed through his eyes:
“I remember you used to drink only nectar.”
“That was before I discovered the unique flavor of Midgard’s malt wine!”
Odin answered with a hearty laugh, lifted his brimming cup, and downed the malt wine in one gulp, a satisfied smile spreading across his aged face.
Seeing this, Heluo, smiling broadly, spoke:
“If Your Majesty likes it, we’ll have the guild send over a few jars of the finest regularly.”
“Then it’s settled!”
Odin promptly agreed, then turned to Heluo with slight annoyance,
“However, little Heluo, calling me ‘Your Majesty’ is a bit too formal, don’t you think? I was the one who held you when you were just born. If Loki hadn’t been one step ahead, you might well have become my daughter.”
Speaking, the Asa Divine King shot a displeased glance at his good brother.
Luo En, quite pleased with himself, took a sip of malt wine and said:
“That’s because kids like me better, unlike you, always sporting a grim face that makes children cry.”
Whether it’s Dionysus from Greek Mythology or Fire God Loki from Nordic Mythology, both are recorded as exceptionally handsome men. Odin, on the other hand, falls short with a face full of wrinkles and a blind eye, indeed no match in appearance and charm.
Heluo, glancing at the faces of the old and the young, silently nodded in agreement, feeling incredibly fortunate about her youthful choice based on appearance.
It’s not that she had an overly high standard for her adoptive father’s looks, but being Odin’s daughter came with a high risk factor.
She hasn’t forgotten the one called Hela who is still squatting in Helheim.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t care or worry about anything, and I would definitely maintain myself better than you have!”
Odin rubbed his wrinkled face, responding irritably.
Suddenly, in a harmonious atmosphere, he turned to Eden sitting beside him, squeezed out a gentle smile on his worn face, and took the initiative to state his purpose:
“Eden, is it? I am very sorry about your brother’s issue. It was my poor supervision that allowed those rascals to commit such an offense. Here’s what, as compensation, I will entrust the Eternal Garden to you to manage; from now on, you will be Asa’s Goddess of Youth, responsible for guarding the World Tree, as well as nourishing the Youth Fruit.”
Hearing Odin’s promise, Heluo looked astonished.
The World Tree is the root of everything, its importance to the Nine Great Kingdoms is self-evident; and the Youth Fruit, with its miraculous effect of eternal youth for the Asgardian deities, is equally crucial for the Nordic Divine, who can age and die.
Handing these responsibilities to Eden, was tantamount to entrusting half the lifeblood of the Asgardian deities to an outsider.
Has Odin gone mad?
The Old Dwarf King, nervous upon hearing about the ‘compensation’ his daughter would receive, promptly declined tactfully:
“Your Majesty, no! This responsibility is too great, Eden is still too young…”
“Young age is perfect for gaining experience. And Eden is very meticulous, I believe she can handle this job.”
Luo En smiled, cutting off the Old Dwarf King’s refusal, and took on the task for Eden voluntarily.
Neither the Old Dwarf King, nor the deceased Dwarf Prince, had such influence to make Odin voluntarily give up retaliation and offer half the lifeblood of Asgard as compensation.
No doubt, the Blood Alliance brother had agreed to these significant concessions for his sake.
Moreover, the Eternal Garden was once under his jurisdiction; handing it over to Eden was also a way of indirectly returning it to him, causing Odin no real pain.
This alone proved Odin’s sincerity for this visit.
Hopefully, from here on out, he wouldn’t start another Dragon Disaster or try to suppress the Dwarf Clan unilaterally.
At this moment, hearing Luo En’s response, Odin also laughed heartily:
“Since even you, the previous guardian, say so, I’m even more assured. In future, the child can consult you if she has any questions.”
“Better ask Freya more, the Warner Divine Race are more skilled at nurturing plants than I am.” Luo En shook his head declining.
Hearing the implied meaning, Odin frowned slightly:
“What? You don’t plan to return?”
“Due to some obligations, I need to make a trip to the Netherworld.”
Luo En reluctantly pointed at Eden beside him, then shifted the conversation, casting a deep glance at his good brother,
“By the way, it seems like you haven’t visited Hela in a long while, how about accompanying me for a stroll?”

At this, Odin’s face twitched, his gaze becoming a bit vacant:
“Maybe not, she probably doesn’t want to see me.”
It’s not like you haven’t repeatedly failed your daughter, Luo En scornfully thought to himself.
Once, to ally with the Warner Divine Race, you sold out Hela, and now during this Dwarf Dragon Disaster, to clear the Asa Divine of suspicion, you’ve thrown the Giant Clan and the Netherworld under the bus again. Hela would be delighted to see you, indeed.
