"Can I speak to this lady alone?"

Odin spoke politely and looked at Pandora and Meryl.

My two friends didn't want to go at all, but I gave them a little nod.

Pandora gave me a gentle pinch, and then pointed to the door of the restaurant. The meaning was obvious: they will wait for me at the door, don't worry.

It wasn't until my friend left that I turned my gaze across the table again.

Odin in Norse mythology, like Zeus, also has a large number of cheap sons and daughters.

But he is a little better than Zeus, Odin has been busy leading the army to fight other protoss, and has not caused strange troubles because of romantic debts.

I have read several related books before, which seems to be related to the fact that the Nordic peoples have been busy with pirate aggression since the early days of the clan. The so-called "gods" were also closely connected with the clan at first.

Odin brings war, and in Norse mythology it is Loki who gets into strange trouble in a different way.

I looked suspiciously at Odin sitting in front of me, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

That is to say, but with Zeus first, I can't help being vigilant when I hear the name "King of the Gods".

Odin participated in the Pacific War, is an American veteran?

Before that, Blaki said that Loki was driven out of Denmark by Odin, so what happened.

Moreover, the appearance and age of your old gods are a bit too casual!

I cursed crazily in my heart.

Odin looks 70 years old, but his brother Rocky is a young man in his 30s by visual inspection. It seems that Odin can be Rocky's grandfather!

"you……"

I hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you need us to call Loki over for you?"

If it is the old god in Greek mythology, even if I am not familiar with it, I have never seen it, and I will talk about it, and I will more or less have a blood relationship with me.

But the Norse gods are different.

The god Odin is famous, but to me, he is a stranger.

"Don't worry, kid."

Odin, who was sitting opposite, shook his head: "I'm here to find you."

I:"……"

Ok.

Then I probably understand what he is here for.

"I won't give the new god what you want," I tried my best to maintain a cold expression, "please rest assured."

For what reason?

After all, Odin is also an old god, except for the gods like Benji and the Kitchen God who are like wild cranes. They came to the door only for the energy of "that thing".

"I didn't fully trust Loki either."

After thinking about it, I added: "If you mind."

When Odin heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled face with only one eye left.

The same wrinkled, gray-haired old handsome guy, Zeus and Odin are two completely different directions.

My own grandfather often dressed like a dog, and looked like an old president who had gone through hardships and written stories.And Odin is wearing an old-fashioned flight suit, sitting across the table, even high school students like us can tell that he is a veteran.

Because of this, the outrageous aura of Odin walking down from the battlefield made me feel a little undetectable sense of coercion.

"Before, I was still wondering whether it was appropriate for Zeus to pin his hopes of the Olympus pantheon on a child," he said slowly, "Now it seems that Zeus does have a reason for Zeus, but—"

"but?"

"Don't worry, Nicole."

Odin really came prepared.

He even found out what my name was beforehand.

"I'm not interested in what Zeus has planned," Odin said, "and I'm not in the mood to get involved in Loki's house-playing game. But there is one thing that really needs your help."

Odin who said these words was quite sincere.

But I still can't let go of my heart.

It's not my fault, it's Zeus' fault.

"Tell me what you need me to do first," I said cautiously, "If I can't get in touch with 'that thing', you won't come to me at all."

I'm not interested in talking inside and out, but apart from this, what is the difference between me and ordinary high school students.

Anything I can do, any teenager can do.

Odin raised a smile of approval: "You are very sharp, Nicole. If you put this sharpness in the past, it will make you a very good fighter. You really deserve to be the daughter of Ares."

Me: "...Stop flattering, just say it."

Odin: "I heard from Zeus that the energy of the outer gods can be transformed into divine power."

Me: "And you said you're not interested?"

Odin: "No, no, Nicole, I'm not as greedy as Zeus."

Saying that, the veteran sitting opposite straightened his back.

He crossed his hands and placed them on the table, looking very earnest.Odin looked into mine sincerely with the only remaining eye. If he didn't know his true identity, he would be a veteran pleading after a war.

"Have you heard the story of the golden apples, my boy?" he asked.

"You mean ours, or yours?"

Both Greek mythology and Norse mythology have magical props golden apples, but their uses are different.

"our."

Odin explained: "The golden apple of Iden, the goddess of youth."

Ok.

There are not so many records about the golden apple in Norse mythology.

I only remember the golden apples of Iden, the goddess of youth, which keep the gods young.

According to legend, Loki once conspired with the giant Sharkey to kidnap her, and later the gods found out, and had to rescue Eden in turn.

And this Eden is also Blakey—that is, our competitor, the wife of Mr. Jon, the leader of Tianen Middle School.

"After the gods lost their power," Odin continued, "all the legendary treasures also lost their power, and so did the golden apple. Although Eden kept it all the time, the golden apple can only be placed by her on the fireplace Above, as a good-looking ornament."

This is true.

Not to mention golden apples, my dad still has spears hanging in his bedroom.

Meryl strayed into my dad's room and said something like "Uncle John has really cool taste".

I don't know what her expression will be when she realizes that it is the weapon that Ares used to slaughter humans back then.

"so what?"

I raised my eyebrows: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Odin: "If you can lend us some, just a small amount of energy."

As he spoke, Odin raised his left hand and made a small distance.

"Just enough to activate the golden apples," Odin said, "You are just a handy effort, but you can do us a big favor."

Activate the golden apple?

The role of the golden apples was to keep the gods young.

But I'm a little confused.

Look at Rocky's pretty face, does it look like it needs a golden apple?

"You are immortal, what do you need golden apples for?" I asked.

"In return, Nicole."

Odin didn't give me an answer.

He took a deep look at me, and then directly threw out the conditions: "I can tell you why Rocky was kicked out of Denmark by me, and what is his purpose for finding you."

I:"……"

I have to admit, this condition is quite attractive.

To this day, Loki's motives remain a mystery.

Although he is pretty good to me, I always feel that this guy is holding a big conspiracy, a big secret, and so on.

but……

"Even if you say so--"

"—look who this is."

Halfway through my words, I was interrupted by a sudden clear voice.

Before I could turn my head away, Loki's long hand stretched out.

I lent him my energy, and Loki, who had power for now, turned back into the 15-year-old version of Aragorn again.He didn't even say hello to me, just pulled out the chair and sat next to me.

And that's not all, even under the watchful eyes of everyone, a right leg was extremely arrogantly placed on the table.

It was exactly the same as when I ran to the coffee shop and "rescued" me from Apollo.

Only this time, on his handsome face, there was lingering sarcasm and undisguised malice.

"Oh, it turned out to be my old brother."

Loki directly put the yin and yang strangeness on the bright side, he pretended to be shocked: "Why are you so old, Odin? Is it because your son and daughter-in-law are not filial and cut off your pension?"

Odin was not angry.

He still had a sincere smile on his face: "Loki, long time no see."

Loki was not polite to him.

"Oh, I forgot."

The god of lies in Norse mythology tilted his head, and his long black hair hung to one side: "Blaki has been reduced to taking care of the cubs to make extra money, and he has often had marital conflicts with his holy wife, right? I'm afraid it's not Yi When Den kicked Blaki out, he threw you out of the house too... oh!"

Loki slapped his forehead.

"You still have so many sons, what about Saul and Hoddle? Tsk tsk tsk, don't you have any pensioners?"

I couldn't help but look sideways at Loki.

It's not clear what purpose he has.But I know very well that Loki rather hates the Norse gods.

"Loki."

Odin responded calmly: "I don't want to trouble you when I come here today, and you don't want to trouble me either."

Loki: "You don't bother me, why do you borrow energy?!"

Me: "Did you hear that?!"

Rocky glanced at me with a smile.

"I'll discuss the crisis of trust between us with you later," he said coolly, "Don't be fooled by this old thing, my dear Nicole, how could he know my purpose?"

It's even more suspicious if you say that!

At the critical moment, I rushed to interrupt and emphasized, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!

As for Odin?

He wasn't going to argue with Loki.

The person involved was sharp-tongued, and his mouth was a personal attack. Odin just smiled and got up, but Loki seemed aggressive.

"If you change your mind, just call me."

The veteran took out a business card with a simple design from his flight suit and handed it to me: "Also, Nicole, you can look up the information on the Nobel Prizes in recent years in the past few days, and you will use it."

what?

Is the Nobel Prize also related to Outer Gods?

Odin's topic changed so quickly, I didn't react for a while, and looked blankly at him and blinked the remaining eye at me.

What I said was inexplicable. I didn't understand Odin's motives, but I kept it in my heart.

Suddenly came such a sentence, just call me by name and ask me to check the information in a certain direction, everyone will care about it!

"What's wrong with the Nobel Prize?" I muttered, "Couldn't some god be involved in it?"

"..."

"Loki?"

The person sitting next to him remained silent.

A strange silence spread, and I subtly sensed that the atmosphere was not right. When I looked up, I was greeted with a perfect smile belonging to Aragorn.

I:"……"

When the judges provoked him last time, he also raised such a bright smile.

Fine.

I haven't promised Odin yet, why are you so angry?
