Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 118: Shoot the arrows first, then draw the target
The sadness brought about by brotherhood seemed to overwhelm Odin.

Half a day later, Odin arrived at the place where Mimir was killed.

If there is a real investigation, more questions and evidence will definitely be found.

For example, why did Mimir, who rarely left the castle, appear alone in the wild? Why did he happen to run into a few wild giants who had revived from the glacier?
Odin did not investigate. He said directly: "Mimir's soul has not dissipated. He does not belong to the underworld for the time being. In order to continue to listen to his wise advice, I decided to resurrect his head?"

"Resurrection?" Braki asked doubtfully.

"Yes! I have mastered a little magic recently. I can try it."

Then, after a mysterious runes spell that no one else understood was recited, Mimir's head that was chopped off by other giants was "resurrected".

Mimir's eyelids were twitching, and his cloudy eyeballs were rolling around, looking very scary.

But those present were either gods or giants, so no one would be afraid. The worst that could happen was they would just give him another blow.

Every muscle on Mimir's face seemed to have its own thoughts, and in just a few seconds, it experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Finally, there was a long sigh of helplessness and despair.

"Alas! Odin..."

"My uncle, my old friend! I'm sorry, I can only prevent your soul from falling into the horrible underworld in this way. Mimir, you don't want your soul to be corroded by chaos, to be burned by the soul of despair, and to eventually go to Helheim and endure thousands of years of hardship without being able to be redeemed, right?"

Odin spoke the most despicable words with a righteous look.

Others might not understand, but how could Mimir not understand?
The first half of Odin's words was nonsense, and the second half was a threat to Mimir. If he did not obey, his soul would suffer eternal torture.

From the beginning to the end, there were no ferocious giants running around the world. It was obvious that Odin had been nurturing the enemy for a long time and reached a tacit cooperation with a group of giants.

Odin did not do it after listening to Mimir's advice. He did it first and then heard the advice he wanted to hear from the wise giant.

This is the classic method of shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target. Draw the target according to the point where the arrow lands, and you will get a perfect ten!

Odin induced Mimir to go to Asgard to inform on others, and he also revealed Mimir's past and whereabouts to those who hated the traitorous Aesir and the giants.

What a great move to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Mimir disobeyed Odin once, and ended up dying, leaving only his soul, and becoming the half-human, half-ghost he is today.

Such a huge giant, but only one head was alive.

Only those who have experienced this kind of cruelty personally will know how desperate it is.

Mimir 'surrendered'.

He gave a bitter smile: "My lord, it is Mimir's honor to continue to serve you!"

That's right, Odin held Mimir's vivid head in his hands and laughed the loudest laugh.

What? My uncle died?

Isn't he still alive?

The news that Mimir suddenly died and only a head was left, which was "resurrected" by Odin, spread quickly throughout Asgard. Some curious people even went to Odin's palace to see what was going on with Mimir's head that was still alive and could talk.

The magic of Mimir's head was beyond the imagination of the onlookers.

As always, he can provide unique and insightful answers to various questions.

The gods and giants are now discussing this matter in the streets and palaces.

Only Hela discovered something, so she came to meet Downs alone.

"Your Majesty, Mimir's death was not normal."

"Tell me about it." Towns said calmly.

"After every living being dies, its soul will be automatically attracted and come to Helheim across space. Why is it that Mimir's soul is still in his body after being dead for so long?"

"Maybe the intelligent giant is a little special?" Towns said sarcastically.

“No! Before Mimir died, someone used a very advanced death spell to bind Mimir’s soul, just like how [Lan] intercepted the souls of mortals in the deep sea. There are definitely not many gods who possess the powerful [Death] priesthood talent!” Hela said with great certainty, looking straight into Tangs’ eyes.

"Who are you referring to, Hela?" Tang Si pretended to be dumb. Hela suddenly lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, since you know what's going on, I won't overstep my authority."

This time it was Towns' turn to be surprised.

Hela is very perceptive, really very perceptive. Perhaps the more inferior she is, the more she cares about the eyes of others and other gods. She knows who is truly kind to her and who is just pretending to be close to her, but is actually afraid of her true self.

Her judgment of human nature and God's heart is far beyond that of her peers. Her perception alone is top-notch.

It was not surprising that she had a 90% guess of what Tang Si was thinking.

Tang Si sighed: "Don't think too much. Mimir is the uncle of me and Odin. Odin will never do anything to Mimir no matter what."

Hela blinked and took a few seconds to realize the language art of His Majesty the Divine King. Some words should be understood literally.

Just because Odin won't do that doesn't mean he won't leak the information to other giants to take action!

Is Odin crazy?

Didn't he know that Mimir's daughter was the goddess of fate?

How dare they treat their father like this?
No matter how you try to hide this, you can't hide it from [Fate]! If the Gemini Goddess wants to curse someone, she doesn't need any evidence at all!

Even if the Gemini goddess of fate accepts it this time, what about the future?
Don't forget, Verdan is in charge of [your current destiny]!

There are so many things that are terrifying when you think about them carefully!
Hela decided to change the subject: "Your Majesty, I recently... had a dream."

Wait! Are you dreaming too?

Towns was really surprised.

When gods dream, they often have an absolute and strong connection with themselves.

This is definitely not a trivial matter!
Towns couldn't help but lean forward slightly, away from the backrest.

"Can I tell you?"

"If it's an unrelated person, then of course it's not allowed, but Your Majesty is an exception, as you also have the priesthood of Death."

Tang Si's eyes narrowed into a line.

In this life, he retained Valhalla, but he was very restrained in the use of mortal souls. He used the last-in-first-out system, and the number of heroic spirits under his command would not exceed 1024.

To be honest, the power of the death priesthood is roughly divided between him and Hela at a ratio of 1 to 9.

In the epic poem Edda, Odin, who holds the priesthood of death, is also qualified to enter Helheim, but he is not very willing to go, let alone set foot in Hela's palace of death.

At this time, Hela opened her red lips and said, “I dreamed that half of the noble gods fell into the underworld.”

"Half?"

What the hell?

“Yes! Half, only the lower body. I can’t even tell who he is…” Hela said in embarrassment.

Towns: “…”

The delicate Hela is still a minor, we can't let her rely on Ding Zhi Shen, right?

This is too ridiculous!

After a long while, Downs finally stammered, "Do those two legs have any characteristics?"

"No, it was chewed to pieces by something."

"..."

Hela's words left Towns speechless.
