Chapter 231: You Actually Long to Obtain
After finishing the discussion with Suoliemu about the marriage.
Thor put on Fuleiya's most beautiful dress, covering his face with her headdress and veil, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Finally.
He wore the Brichijiaman Necklace, enhancing his charm, so that if he kept the veil and headdress on, few would suspect he was disguised as Fuleiya!
It is worth mentioning that the Brichijiaman Necklace has a famous story.
It was forged by Alfulike, Beilin, Du Hualin and Ge Er working together, and to obtain this necklace, Fuleiya agreed to spend a night with each of the four dwarves.
This actually appears in a novel titled SorlaThattr written by a Christianity pastor.
The goddess Fuleiya is a human in the story, and also the favorite concubine of King Aoding.
After that follows the story of how the Christian saint broke the necklace's magic and defeated the pagans.
In fact, it is a story fabricated by Christianity for missionary purposes.
In Northern Europe mythology: the Brichijiaman possesses magical power that makes its wearer increasingly beautiful, rendering others unable to resist. This necklace is the treasure of goddess Fulei Ya, never leaving her side.
Loki once stole this necklace, and after Fulei Ya discovered it, she summoned Heimdall to help her retrieve it.
This incident forged a bond between Loki and Heimdall.
In the Twilight of the Gods.
Heimdall killed Loki, but also suffered a mortal wound and fell together with Loki.
That is all.
As for Loki at this moment,
He naturally dressed himself as a maid beside Fuleiya, appearing soft and fragile, looking quite pitiable.
Next, they headed for Jotunheim.
But before they could act, Yu Lin appeared leading Shi Koudi out:
"Wait a moment, I have something to say."
"Hm?!" The Gods' gazes fell upon them, exclaiming:
"Ares, do you have any opinion?"
"Of course." Yu Lin nodded, pointing at Thor and Loki:
"Don't you think that going to marry under Fuleiya's name with only a single maid accompanying seems unimportant?"
"I think we need several more escorts to dispel Suoliemu's doubts."
"And me."
He lifted his head, confident: "And I am happy to go as an attendant!"
"Consider it the first thing I've done since joining Asgard!"
Shi Koudi, after he finished speaking, echoed: "Exactly, exactly!"
"I also wish to join them and go together to Jotunheim!"
Hearing this, the Gods thought it fine, except that Wuerde and Wei Er Danti, the two goddesses, were unwilling.
They frowned at Shi Koudi: "Shi Koudi, what are you doing going with us?!"
"Ares and they can go, we won't let you accompany them."
"Come quickly to us."
As they spoke, they tried to pull Shi Koudi away.
Shi Koudi evaded their tug and stepped back, saying:
"Sisters, I can foresee the future; if danger arises I will avoid it myself. Moreover, even if you don't believe me, don't you trust Ares?"
"And Thor! Once he obtains Miaooni Er, he can kill them all!"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Wuerde (both deities): "........... No, you........."
"Eh." From behind, Loki stepped forward again, hugging Shi Koudi's shoulder, laughing:
"She is right; you need not worry about safety."
"Furthermore, if we don't let her experience some things, how can she understand more? Can you protect her forever?"
"With me here, could any accident happen to her? I assure you!"
It is precisely because you are there that they fear accidents!
Wuerde and Wei Er Danti gave Loki a hostile look, warning: "You'd better do as you said."
"If anything happens to Shi Koudi, we will never let you off."
Facing their threat.
Loki merely laughed nonchalantly:
"Of course."
"Alright, we should go."
"Let's set off."
He clapped his hands and led the way forward.
Behind them, Yu Lin and the others followed, and as Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge ahead, they all vanished together.
"Where did Heimdall send us?!"
Loki stood on the mountain, gazing at the Suoliemu Royal Palace that seemed near yet was actually incredibly distant, muttering:
"Does this guy have white eyes? Does he even deserve to be called having the best eyes?"
"Alright, be quiet; we can walk over just the same."
Thor, irritated by his shouting, interrupted him and said:
My goats have arrived.
Accompanied by a clear bell sound and hoofbeats, two divine rams descended from the sky.
They had golden horns, their snowy white fur faintly shimmering with silver light, their hooves leaving specks of starlight wherever they stepped, and one of them was lame in a leg.
They pulled a splendid chariot, its wheels engraved with lightning patterns, its body inlaid with gems.
"Get on." Thor was the first to board the chariot.
After Loki muttered something under his breath, he also climbed aboard.
Yu Lin and Shi Koudi served as attendants, controlling the reins in front.
Shortly after, the two goats brought them before the palace of Suoliemu.
Perhaps Suoliemu could wait no longer, and had already been waiting at the gate early.
Seeing them arrive, the giant king's eyes flashed with excitement, and he hurriedly welcomed them inside.
"Come in quickly!" Suoliemu's voice barely concealed his joy, "Everything for the wedding is already ready!"
He personally took Thor to the bride's chambers, and Shi Koudi was also allowed to follow.
Only Loki and Yu Lin remained waiting in the reception hall.
Loki paced back and forth in the splendid hall, muttering about why he wasn't allowed to go over.
Yu Lin was eating a fruit native to Jotunheim; after finishing, he wiped his mouth, looked up at Loki:
"Loki, you actually crave recognition, don't you?"
"........." Loki's steps suddenly halted; after a long while he turned around, his usual irreverent smile forming on his face:
"Preposterous, the great God of Schemes needs no validation from anyone!"
"If you truly didn't need it, you wouldn't have said before that if I can't earn your love, then let you hate me instead."
Yu Lin gave a small smile, rose, approached him, and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, you don't have to tough it out."
"If you feel wronged, you can come find me."
"I'd be glad to listen to your worries."
Having said that, he turned and walked ahead.
The wedding was about to begin.
Loki watched his back:
"Ares, you bastard."
