[Comprehensive] Retirement of the brave

"If I want to pass the throne to Thor, Aven, my son, what do you think?"

Let's move the time forward a bit. As usual, Ai Wenwen was flipping through the classics in the library that hadn't been touched for many years, and then a guard came to deliver an order—a summon from Odin.

He came to Odin under the guidance of the guards.Avoid the crowd along the way, avoiding all eyes and ears.Some of them seemed to be plotting or silencing or something. Ivan stood in front of Odin and was still thinking about some messy things.

Odin screened everyone back, and beckoned for Ivan to stand beside him.Then he asked the previous question.

"That's good," Ai Wen said with a smile, "Brother is very powerful, magnanimous and warm, and is very popular with the people. If he becomes king, I think no one will object."

"Your real thoughts, I'm talking about your thoughts." Odin nodded Ivan's forehead, sat down on the steps, looked directly into the eyes of his younger son and said:

"Ewen, you are also my son, maybe not so comprehensive but I know you. I know, what you know, think, and see far exceeds anyone's imagination."

"Now," Odin took his son's hand, "you can think of it as a father asking his son for advice, or as a king asking his subjects for advice. Say what you really want to say Those words."

Alvin blinked, and a light flashed in his dark gray eyes.He stopped laughing, and put on the serious expression of pretending to be an adult that Loki once made fun of.

He took half a step back and knelt down on one knee, performing the ritual of a minister admonishing the king. "Then, Your Majesty, put aside all personal feelings, please forgive me, His Highness Thor is not capable of being king now."

"His Royal Highness Thor's bravery is his strong point, but it is also his shortcoming. Impulsive and easily irritated temperament will bring him trouble. Of course, if he becomes the king of Asgard, then this will also be a problem for the whole world. Trouble in Asgard."

Odin didn't say anything about this evaluation. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "What about Loki? What do you think of Loki?"

"Here," Aiwen lowered his head slightly, avoiding Odin's gaze and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't look at the blood of His Royal Highness Loki, then I can only say that His Royal Highness Loki is more suitable to be a king at this stage."

"The Second Highness is secretive and changeable, and his temperament is sensitive and gloomy. This is indeed not the best quality that a king should have, but if it only refers to the coming disaster, then I believe that His Royal Highness Luo Ji can at least protect Aspen to the maximum extent. Gad."

After finishing speaking, Ai Wen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and finally spit out the unfinished words.

"With His Royal Highness Loki's disposition, I'm afraid he would rather die than save His Royal Highness Thor. His Highness Thor will also grow up and become a real person who can inherit the crown. This is a strategy for getting the best of both worlds."

"A solution for both ends?" Odin repeated the words back and forth several times, then looked at Ivan sharply, "What about you? What if I make you king?"

Ask Thor this question, he may say in a daze if he can say it again.Ask Loki, and he'll probably wonder if it's some kind of conspiracy, then laugh and use his silver-tongued talents.

As for Ivan, he laughed, "That's really the most unwise choice."

"How to say?" Odin was a little curious.

"Not to mention that I'm still young, and I haven't even been bloodied on the battlefield." Ai Wen stood up, and the restraint of being a courtier was swept away from him.Now he is answering his father's question from the perspective of a son.

"A king who exists apart from the people and is not well-known by the people? What is the use of such a king." He said sincerely: "A king who treats everyone equally cannot distinguish between friends and enemies. Man, you've got to hope he'll never have force and power."

The conversation came to an end in the silence of the room.

After that, Ai Wen still lived as before.He usually spends time in the library studying his messy things, and occasionally sits in the garden and fiddles with the harp, playing a new piece of music.

When I have nothing to do, I draw a few paintings with unknown meanings. I will be dazed when I look at them, and when I recover, I will destroy all the paintings soon.

No one knows what happened.

This kind of life continued until Thor couldn't bear the sight of his younger brother leaving the gate every day, so he ran to the library and dragged him directly to the martial arts field regardless of Aiwen's struggle.

Catching the sword thrown by his brother in a hurry, he helped the helmet that was too big to block Shizheng. Ai Wen's small face wrinkled into a ball in pain, "Brother, you know, I don't like this."

He pinned his sword to his waist and turned sideways to fiddle with those troublesome armor straps.Then he was knocked by Thor and almost fell to the ground.

"Be careful, look at you, I'll knock you down with a light touch, that's not okay." Thor took over the task of helping him put on the armor while supporting him.

After finishing it, he looked up and down, and patted Ai Wen on the shoulder, "Well, it's not bad."

"Loki and I are both on the battlefield for the first time at the age of 500. You are coming soon, you should prepare well, right?" He held a sword in one hand and waved to Ivan. "Come on, let me see your strength first."

Ai Wen pursed his lips, and first looked at the friends of the eldest brother who were standing on the sidelines: the three warriors and Sif, and those who came to watch.And the green robes flashing past in the crowd.

"I don't like this," he muttered under his breath, his hand clenched on the hilt of his sword.

I hate being surrounded by people, and I hate raising weapons to fight against others.

This kind of thing, the eldest brother will regard him as not used to it, and will encourage him to try more.Although the second elder brother understands, he will not stop him. He hopes that he can also understand his feelings.

Sure enough, you still have to take up arms.

When Ivan assumed an offensive posture, such a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart.It was as if he had been fighting for a long time, several lifetimes, thousands of years, so long that he even forgot the feeling of rest.

God's strength grows with age.Aiwen understands that he is still young, and it is absolutely impossible to go head-to-head with Thor, who has grown into an adult and his strength has tended to grow steadily.

Then it can only be outsmarted.

Relying on his small stature, Aiwen went around behind Thor and attacked.Thor didn't even move from this blow, he smiled and blocked Aiwen's attack lightly with his sword.

"The strength is too small, Aiwen." Thor moved his wrist, and waved to Aiwen again, "Come again. I think you should increase your strength training, after all, the weapons and armor used on the battlefield have to be a lot heavier. "

Ivan gritted his teeth watching Loki's smiling face in the crowd, and rushed up again, waving his sword.Time and time again, I was easily defeated, and I was asked to come back again and again.

He tried various methods, speed, ingenuity, some small illusions learned from Loki, and some small things he researched by himself.

The best result was leaving a bloody scar on Thor's hand, and then he was knocked off his weapon and shot out.The faces of the onlookers were not very good when they saw him using the illusion, and their expressions were even worse when he took out those little things.

According to Aiwen's estimation, the former one thinks that Loki has taught him badly, while the latter thinks that he and Loki are the same kind, and if they can't beat others, they always think of cheating and cheating.

If he is not good at one hand, he can make up for himself on the other hand. Why can't the things he researched be counted as a kind of strength?

When Ivan flew out again, he fell heavily to the ground.Thor finally stopped the competition, he came over and pulled Ivan up from the ground, helped him untie the armor and take off the helmet.

"Okay, let's stop here today." Thor knelt down and looked into his brother's eyes, rubbed his hair with one hand, and pressed his shoulder with the other.

"I don't know what you study in the library every day, but I have to say that there is no chance of stopping on the battlefield. You have to keep trying, you know?"

Seeing Ivan's dazed expression, Thor couldn't help but smiled and rubbed his head again, then stood up and hugged him regardless of Ivan's struggle.

"Okay, I've worked hard today." Putting Ivan on his shoulders, Thor held him steady. "How about it, this is a reward."

award?The punishment is more or less the same.Ai Wen sat on his brother's shoulders and his whole body was stiff. He didn't know where to support him, and he didn't dare to move for fear of falling.

In my memory, it seems that I rarely get along with my brother like this, except for the vaguely remembered childhood.

Thinking of this, Ai Wen slightly let go of his almost knotted fingers, the tips of his ears were flushed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a small arc.

"Wait a minute," when Thor put Ivan down by the bed and turned to leave, Ivan grabbed Thor's red cloak.

Thor turned around and joked, "Hey, are you scared of sleeping alone? Afraid of being captured by the ice giant, or falling into the hands of the fire giant Sirte when you wake up?"

Ai Wen sat on the edge of the bed shaking his feet, lowered his head, and his voice was a little low. "If the second brother is not our relative, will you treat him as before?"

"Of course," Thor said without hesitation: "Besides, Loki and I, we grew up together and fought side by side, how could we not be brothers?"

"What if we, Loki and I did something wrong?"

Thor's big hand covered Ivan's head, very warm. "No matter what, we are all brothers and family members." He was a little puzzled, "Evan, what makes you so uneasy?"

"Nothing?" Ivan pulled that hand down, held it, and raised his head, his dark gray eyes shone brightly without the cover of his hair.

"After studying so many books, it is inevitable to see some strange stories."

"Really?" Although he still felt a little strange, due to his trust in his brother and his temper, Thor quickly let go of this.

"One last thing, brother, this is my advice to you as a brother." Ivan closed his eyes and opened them again, putting aside all the scruples in his heart.

He said seriously: "Think twice before acting, no matter what you want to do, worry more."

"Understood," Thor readily agreed, "You have a good rest, the training will continue tomorrow." He smiled and left.

Has the future changed?Ai Wen lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at a point on the roof.The heart is beating like a drum, and the blood is boiling in the veins.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

The codeword is too late today, so there is no small theater.

In addition, I feel that the Loki and Thor I wrote are quite cute.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. If you don't like it, you can say it, but don't curse, thank you.
