The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

"Actually, I know that Loki has all kinds of problems." Odin frowned, and began to talk to himself again. He said, "Because he is relatively weak, the Asgardians don't recognize him. Li Jia spent more time teaching him, so he is more like a girl with a sensitive mind."

"But in fact, this is not a shortcoming at all. Anyway, he doesn't need to be the god king of Asgard. He doesn't need to take responsibility, so he doesn't need to pursue perfection."

"In other words, the Asgardians don't actually discriminate against him that much. He thinks that the main reason why the Asgardians discriminate against him is that the Asgardians don't respect him as much as Thor."

"However, the people of Asgardian respected Thor not because Thor was much stronger than Loki at that time, but because of my face. He is my designated heir. How dare they not respect?"

"But I can't just tell everyone that you should respect Loki so much just because he feels sad about it. Wouldn't the authority of the heir I established before be shaken again?"

Odin waved his hand vigorously in front of himself and said: "I know those fools in Asgard too well, they don't know how to appreciate subtle colors, and they can only look at them after sitting in front of me for a year. No matter how many beards I have grown, they can only understand the literal meaning of the order."

"I said that Thor will inherit the throne in the future, and they treat Thor like a god king. If I say, you want to treat Loki like Thor, then they will think that Loki may also be a god in the future. king……"

Odin put his finger against his temple helplessly, and said: "Frigga often tells me that I don't care about Loki all the time, but I can't care about Loki the same way I care about Toto. I'm not afraid of the Asgardians. There is still a chance to misunderstand him, but I am afraid that he misunderstood himself."

"I know, you may want to accuse me of not giving him the throne, and not compensating him elsewhere, but believe it or not, if I really compensate him elsewhere, some Asgardians and himself will surely I feel like I can do it again.”

Schiller touched his lips with his fingers, and he found that this really formed a closed loop.

On the matter of the battle for the Inheritance, Odin was right not to give Loki any hope, as long as he had no hope at the beginning, he would not be disappointed.

But if he doesn't give hope, he has to keep giving it. If he gives it halfway, it may cause the other party more pain, and it will cause all previous efforts to be in vain.

But this kind of fatherly love with low recognition and low concern cannot be understood by Loki in his youth. He can only understand that Odin does not love him, and only thinks that Odin is partial.

The root cause of this deadlock is that in the family relationship of the royal family, in a sense, partiality is correct, and a bowl of water is fair, which may lead to greater disasters.

Some people may think that if he didn't pick up Loki back then, wouldn't that be fine?

But at that time, Loki was about to die. Comparing death with the current situation, of course the current situation is better. Even if he didn't get approval from his father, at least he still had a mother and brother.

The biggest problem with the father-son relationship between Odin and Loki is that Odin made the right choice, but Loki was also a victim.

"Actually, I didn't expect Thor to succeed so quickly." Odin said hesitantly, "I thought he would stay on Earth for hundreds of years."

"Without Thor as a foil, Loki may feel better, but I didn't expect that everything happened too fast. Thor suddenly succeeded, and Loki didn't have any objection. Get ready for Frigg's crying."

"After that, Loki suddenly became a goddess. I was overjoyed. Loki is indeed my smartest child. He came up with a better solution than me. If she married Thor, wouldn't she be able to Do you enjoy the same honor as the god king?"

"I thought that Loki thought so, so I wanted to discuss it with Frigga. Unexpectedly, he didn't seem to be very willing..."

Odin shook his head and said, "I still haven't figured out what's going on."

When Odin was feeling puzzled, Schiller had already laughed in a low voice, and seeing that Odin had gone silent, he still said with a smile: "Has anyone said that? Your family is really ridiculous."

"You don't turn where you should turn, and you make sudden turns at every place where you shouldn't." Schiller rubbed his fingers lightly, rubbing his brows and said: "Inexplicable, chaotic, a few people There was a scene more interesting than dozens of people... Is this the royal family?"

"As a doctor, don't you smile a little too happily?" Odin looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "Don't gloat, isn't it your basic professionalism?"

"Theoretically, that's the case." Schiller couldn't help laughing again, and he said, "But you should be lucky, I can laugh because the situation of your family is just a joke at best, if I have a serious face, you should know how serious the situation is."

"Okay, don't laugh, I'm here because I plan to make some changes." Odin poured himself another full glass of wine, poured down half a glass, and wiped Take a sip and say:

"Thor's rule is already very stable, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. The Asgardians have other ideas, but recently, I found that it seemed a bit overkill before."

"Although Loki is not the heir, he is still the noble prince of Asgard, but some people seem to..."

Odin's expression didn't change, he was still smiling, but his tone gradually became murderous.

"Whether Loki is my own or not, regardless of whether he is too weak to inherit the throne, regardless of whether he meets the expectations of the Asgardians for a prince, no matter how much trouble he caused..."

Odin sat up straight, and Schiller felt an indescribably sharp aura emanating from the old god king. He knew that Thor still had a long way to go before he could develop such an aura. to go.

"I said, he is my child, I said, he is the prince of Asgard, then everyone must respect him enough, because this is respecting me."

"I don't want people to admire him more than Thor, but they better not take the opportunity to perfuse him and provoke me..."

"They should obey Loki, and they should respect Thor even more. Judging the situation and grasping the scale is not what I should do, but what this group of courtiers should do. If they fail to grasp it well, it will prove that they are not qualified. This is the same as Our father and son have nothing to do."

When the topic changed here, Schiller showed a smile, looked at Odin and said, "...Are you going to liquidate?"

Odin shook his head and said: "In terms of politics, I have nothing to settle. It's just that those people who can't use their brains, or are too lazy to use their brains, really should go home to retire."

"Then have you ever thought that their habit of not using their brains is actually developed by you?" Schiller leaned on the back of the chair and said with his hands on the back of the sofa.

And Odin's answer surprised him a bit, Odin said confidently: "Yes, that's right, I cultivated it."

"In the past, I asked them to use their arms and fingers. Wherever I point, they will strike. Don't think too much, don't question, completely obey me, and regard me as their only father."

"But now, when I ask them to think independently and learn to observe the situation, otherwise they will be eliminated... Do you think I am going too far?"

Odin looked at Schiller, but Schiller didn't nod, because now, Odin's momentum has the upper hand, and if he gives an answer that Odin doesn't like to hear, it's tantamount to a courtier disobeying him, and will only fall into a more passive situation.

"But that's the emperor."

There was an undisguised indifference and cruelty in Odin's voice: "This is the quality necessary for a good emperor."

"When I need them to bite, they must be extremely vicious, crazy and cruel, and when I need them to stay obedient, then they'd better be gentle and quiet, and don't even bark, otherwise, there won't be any of them in the future seat."

"And, I firmly believe that there are no heroes in this world. I don't have any ministers. I am still me, and they are nothing without me. They need me, so it is best to understand everything. I want them to understand the truth .”

Schiller put the wine glass on the table. At this moment, from Odin, he saw the long river of time spanning thousands of miles.

Among them, there are countless stalwart figures. Perhaps, they have also used their words and actions to explain what it means to be "ruthless is the most emperor".

Tyrants are not mediocre, they may be cruel, indifferent, or even cruel and ruthless, but if we look at their achievements alone, they may still be good emperors, or in other words, in a feudal society, the more arbitrary and powerful they are, the more credit they have For a while, the benefits are in the future.

Schiller sighed softly. If there is anything he is really not good at, it may be the so-called "imperial mind".

This sounds like a very mysterious subject. To put it bluntly, there is only one sentence - "Learn to be arrogant and learn to be ruthless."

And this is precisely to turn oneself into a criminal and a patient, to learn to put aside morality and emotion, and to artificially create a lunatic, which is the exact opposite of what Schiller did.

At the end of the conversation, they didn't drink much wine, but both of them felt a little drunk. It was the first time that Odin said so much to a person. Apart from being glorious, the emperor was also lonely.

It was also the first time for Schiller to really face a great king, and in the communication with him, he came face to face with more emperors through the ages.

And at the same time, he also understood why Odin was called the "Father of the Gods". He was as powerful as a father, but also as authoritative as a father.

In the end, Schiller could only ask one question:
"You said Thor is like you, but if he became you, would you really feel happy?"

"Who am I?" Odin asked: "Actually, I am not Odin, I am Asgard's father, and Asgard is my child..."

"To become a father, a boy must go through the process of abandoning himself. He needs to constantly strengthen all his characteristics that can take care of the family, such as diligence, hard work, and courage to take responsibility..."

"But is he really such a person?" Odin shook his head lightly and said, "Maybe not."

"But as long as he derives more happiness from being a father than from being alone, it doesn't matter who he is."

"One day, Thor will be a father, and so will Loki." When Odin finished speaking, Schiller saw a trace of pain on his face for the first time.

When the voice of the white-haired god king fell in the room, Asgard was at sunset.

"I just hope that, on that day, they will understand that I have no less pain than they feel from my decision to not seem to love them."
