How could she, the daughter of a mere black dwarf, dare to offend Odin? Not to mention Odin—she wouldn't even dare to offend the two gods outside the door.
After hesitating for a moment, Eason went forward and opened the door for Loki.
Meanwhile, Brach, hiding in the shadows, stared wide-eyed at Loki's words.
Why are you knocking on the door and bringing up my name?! This is terrible! What if they think I'm here to ask for their hand in marriage?!
If it weren't for the existence of night, Blanch might still be tempted. What's wrong with having a beautiful girlfriend like Bai?
But now, he'll fight anyone who tries to stop him from offering the child to the god of mankind!
Just when Blatche absolutely refused to come out.
Loki: "Stop hiding, come here! The son of Odin, don't be so hesitant, you'll only make a fool of yourself. Come inside and talk with me!"
Then, amidst Brach's desperate and murderous gaze, and with the creaking sound of Eaton opening the door and his curious glances at the two deities outside, Loki dragged Brach to him.
Yitong instinctively asked, "Among you—who is the son of God who has come to ask for my hand in marriage?"
Loki pointed: "Him! Cough cough, no—I misspoke, it's not him! This guy doesn't deserve a beautiful flower like you."
Blach: "...!!"
Although he knew that he looked somewhat abstract compared to that human god, his appearance was still considered above average among the gods. Was it really necessary to say such things about him?
Eton immediately looked at Loki: "If it's not him, then it must be you? Odin's son..."
Loki was terrified, his hair standing on end. How could he dare to steal a woman from his own god? He immediately explained, "No, no, no, I'm not—I'm not Odin's son, he is!"
Chapter 92 How could the king of a nation possibly take a fancy to a 'country girl' like me?
He and Odin are sworn brothers, so how come he's a generation younger and is now Odin's eldest son?!
If this myth were to be passed down to later generations and cause people to have the wrong understanding, Loki would really want to die!
Yi Tong looked at the two people in front of her with some confusion: "So—you didn't come here to ask me to marry you?"
Neither of them would mention that Odin's original order was for Brach to personally propose to the other woman. And facing Brach's murderous gaze, it was as if he were asking Loki how to resolve this matter.
Loki: "Hehe~!?"
Blach: "Don't try to fool me—!"
Loki, still appearing as a teenager, patted his chest to show he was right, then confidently looked at Eyton and continued, “We are indeed here on the orders of Odin, the King of the Gods, but neither of us is the one who seeks your hand in marriage. I am Loki, Odin’s sworn brother and the god of fire, and he is Brachi, Odin’s son and the god of art and poetry. However, the one we are representing is far more noble than either of us. Rest assured, beautiful lady—I would never deceive or cheat you. Who could bear to deceive such a beautiful and innocent young girl?”
Yi Tong was immediately surprised and flattered.
Before me stands the unassuming, plain-looking god Brachi—Odin's son—and this gentlemanly, handsome yet unreliable man is none other than Odin's sworn brother, the god of fire, Loki?!
The identities and status of these two great gods—one the son of a god-king and the other his sworn brother—immediately intimidated this naive young girl who had not yet seen much of the world.
However, even though these two people are of such high status, the one who claims to marry her is someone of even higher status than themselves. Could it be Odin himself, the king of gods?
Thinking of what she had heard from others—that the King of Gods was a deity in the form of an old man—Yi Tong felt a sense of resistance, unease, and even the urge to cry.
She didn't want to marry a man who looked old enough to be her father or even her grandfather, even if that man was the King of Gods!
And so—the young Yitong, whose mood had been successfully simmering with gloom after her emo creation, spoke up: "You must be lying to me. The only one in this world more noble than you is Odin, the King of Gods. But how could that King of Gods possibly take a liking to a little girl like me whose name I don't even know?" Yitong said after a moment's thought.
She looked at the two of them nervously, afraid of hearing something she didn't want to hear.
Loki astutely saw that Eyton was trying to trick him into revealing information—he was actually using reverse psychology to provoke him. He immediately smiled and said, "No—of course not the King of the Gods. You deserve a younger, more talented, and handsome god as your companion. He is a distinguished guest whom even Odin, the King of the Gods, values, and is an artistic pioneer who has surpassed even Brachi, the god of music, and other gods in the beauty of music and poetry. His beauty is so stunning that even the Aesir gods, who have seen Freya, the goddess of love, would be captivated by him. His handsome figure surpasses that of men and women, and is more dazzling than the sun in the sky. He is worthy to walk alongside the goddess of beauty!"
As Yitong became increasingly engrossed in the story, when Loki stopped listening, she couldn't help but instinctively ask, "Does such a man really exist in this world? Who is he?"
If such a man truly exists, he would indeed be an incomparably noble and precious deity.
But Loki's description was too wonderful, as if he were a character who could only exist in a dream. Yi Tong felt that such a good thing could not possibly fall into her lap.
Although Yitong was well aware of her beauty—long, light blue hair, bright blue eyes, and a petite and adorable figure (tall for dwarves, but considered a loli by normal gods and humans)—and many men in her tribe had pursued her and praised her beauty, she was not arrogant enough to be worthy of such outstanding individuals.
Ultimately, for Yi Tong herself, her perception of her own beauty was that of a village girl or a village beauty in this self-contained underground city.
At this moment, it's like in a fairy tale, a handsome, powerful, and noble king of a great nation suddenly says he's taken a liking to her beauty as a mere village girl—how could she possibly believe it?
After all, Yitong had not yet received the blessings of the three Fates at this time. Not to mention—she had not yet received the personal guarantee and certification of the Tree of Life, the only goddess with the purest and most flawless hands in the world.
Only those with pure and innocent hearts can possess such beautiful, white, soft, and smooth hands; only such hands can pluck the golden apples that symbolize youth and the sweetness of the Nordic world.
This unique identity is something even Odin cannot take away. That will be the time when Eton truly becomes confident and radiates his own charm, not now.
Seeing that Eaton didn't believe him, Loki became anxious.
No matter how eloquent he is or how flowery his words are, if the other party doesn't believe that such a person exists, then all his words are in vain.
Yi Tong: "You must be lying to me, right? Please stop making fun of me, okay? My esteemed deity! Please tell me your true purpose for coming here."
At this moment, Yi Tong's gaze towards the two had become somewhat wary, and she even wanted to close the door. After all, she wasn't without suitors before; one had done some unconventional things to attract her attention, such as disguising himself as an emissary of the god-king Odin to propose to her, and even fabricating a non-existent powerful, handsome, and noble god figure. Although most people wouldn't dare to fabricate the identity of an emissary of the god-king.
But this was truly a dreamlike and unbelievable situation. Although Yi Tong was naive, she wasn't stupid and possessed sufficient vigilance.
To succeed in this world, one must be strong oneself. In this era, without vigilance and prevention, even goddesses can be deceived and lose their virginity. All disbelief begins with blind carelessness. Girls must also learn to protect themselves!
Blach: "What do we do, Loki—! You've messed things up!"
Loki: "Don't panic—! Watch me pull off this incredible save...!"
At this point, Loki became unusually serious, revealing an extremely solemn and earnest expression. This was something the other party had forced him to do, so he couldn't be blamed for unleashing his ultimate move!
Loki's serious demeanor even made Brach look incredibly handsome. Ignoring the lovely, delicate girl beside him, Brach stared intently at Loki. The god of poetry couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is there any other way?"
And Yitong, who was about to close the door, stopped in his tracks. Curiosity is an innate quality that intelligent beings cannot suppress, whether it is humans, gods, giants, or even Yitong...
What else can the other party offer to convince or persuade them?
Chapter 93 The Idol Effect Knows No Boundaries! (Fan Power Increasing)
Although she knew that she should quickly close the door and chase the two away so that her father could return, Yi Tong hesitated for a moment when she thought of the noble god that Loki had described so beautifully.
What if the other party could actually prove the existence of such a god?!
Loki saw all of this. It was his exceptional understanding of human nature that allowed him to survive and appease so many people after offending them.
Loki's forte is using that keen eye to do things that aren't really productive!
Then Loki suddenly cried out, "Beautiful lady! Look! This is the handsome, brave, and tall figure of the husband we have found for you—"
The next moment, a beam of light suddenly shot out from Loki's eyes. For Loki, who frequently offended people and attracted a group of pursuers, he knew quite a few gadget spells. Even if he didn't know one, he could quickly devise one based on his experience. And the spell to record and transmit the images of others was certainly a way to sow discord—cough…
It can be said to be the best magic to help people find their 'relatives' who have been missing for decades!
Helping Yitong find her 'husband' who has been missing for over a decade since her birth—isn't that the perfect moment to reunite her family?
Even Loki, the god of fire, was so moved by his own kindness and compassion that he almost cried!
Meanwhile, when a curtain of water suddenly appeared before her, Yi Tong couldn't resist her curiosity and looked over.
I originally planned to take a quick look at her and then close the door immediately—at most, just to satisfy my curiosity, but I didn't think I would see anything amazing.
When the scene of playing music and reciting poetry at the divine banquet before nightfall appeared in the water curtain, and when the beautiful man with silver-white hair shining like the Milky Way and playing with his eyes closed was seen, the tranquil and beautiful scene, with the wind spirits surrounding him, instantly stole Yi Tong's entire attention.
So beautiful!!
Yi Tong's mind suddenly went blank, her eyes were fixed on the face in the picture, which was even more perfect than that of Apollo, the god of art, and she blushed instantly.
Is this the man Loki and Brach were talking about?! But—strange, they're all male, so why is there such a huge difference in their appearances?
Brachi's appearance was already considered quite good among the gods. He inherited the blood of the handsome old man Odin and could barely be considered a handsome man. Otherwise, in orthodox mythology, Eyton would not have been so satisfied with her husband, missing him dearly when he left and always keeping to herself.
However, compared to the handsome Loki, the god of fire whose looks are described in the lore, he falls short. But when these two are compared to his captivatingly alluring appearance, Eto, like Skadi before her, has the same thought...
'We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference?!'
Is this really a man who exists in this world? He seems so beautiful, even more so than I am...
A man was more charming and handsome than she, a woman, making her feel ashamed of herself. And those beautiful songs allowed Yitong to personally experience his extraordinary talent; had Loki, the god of fire, really not deceived her?
"What kind of god is he?" When Yi Tong's door was no longer tightly closed, and even showed signs of slightly opening, it was as if a young girl had opened the closed door to her heart, from which came a shy and curious question...
Loki knew he had succeeded! No one could remain completely unmoved after seeing their own god's face. Didn't she understand the value of her charm, which was even higher than that of Freya, the goddess of love?
“That’s quite a story to tell—where should I begin? It’s going to be a very interesting one.” Loki pressed his advantage, starting with his first encounter with the god of men, the great Sun King.
Before they knew it, Loki had embellished the story of the night so vividly that time had flown from morning to night.
After Loki's explanation and description throughout the day, Eton was no longer as resistant to this marriage, which seemed to be personally arranged by the King of Gods.
She's now a poised and elegant young woman in her teens, and she knows she'll get married sooner or later. She's certainly had her share of fantasies about her other half. If she had a choice, she would naturally admire someone who is good-looking, talented, and capable.
For Yi Tong, who had never experienced the beauty and wonder of the outside world since childhood and was innocent and naive, the allure of a handsome man like Ye was like a knockout blow.
In the following days, every morning Loki and Blach would come to Eton while the black dwarf Fald was out, to do his ideological work and to beautify the image of Night in front of him.
Originally, Yi Tong was quite shy and reserved due to her girlish bashfulness and timidity, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity every time she listened to stories about the night. Even the events that happened at the feast of the gods had been told a hundred or eighty times, only with Loki embellishing various 'details', but Yi Tong still listened with great interest every time.
In this newly born Nordic world, there is little entertainment to speak of. The things the Night did for the Aesir gods are the best stories, epics, and a captivating poison.
Which young girl doesn't dream of love? So many suitors had pursued Yi Tong before, yet she remained unmoved. It wasn't that she lacked romantic desires; one reason was that her father had been very protective, leaving her with little understanding of men. Another reason was that there simply wasn't anyone who truly captivated her, someone who could maintain her curiosity and the urge to learn more. But when a truly exceptional individual appears before her, even if it's only based on hearsay, they still possess an irresistible, mysterious allure.
Just as in some worlds there might exist people who, upon hearing the legend of a certain knight or king, become obsessed and demand that this type of hero be their future partner.
Under the influence of idol worship—everyone is equal. Not to mention women, even men cannot resist the allure of legends. Take Richard the Lionheart, for example, who idolized King Arthur to the point of dressing up as Arthur every day and even comically acquiring a replica of the Holy Sword, Excalibur.
It's important to know that as the second king of England under the Plantagenet dynasty, his ancestors were the Saxons, who played the role of invaders in the Arthurian legends.
As descendants of invaders, they spend their days playing the roles of legends about the former dynasty's king. In a way, this can be seen as another kind of victory: though I am dead, my spirit and culture remain.
In the Western world, no young girl can reach the story of a heroic epic.
Especially now, if we place the night in the Nordic world, it can be said to be one of the earliest heroic epics after the creation of the world.
In this era when humanity has just been born, compared to the other gods, Yena's outstanding excellence is even more evident!
At this moment, Yi Tong had a new worry: "But—would such an outstanding deity really take a liking to Yi Tong?"
When Eason asked this question, Loki and Blach exchanged a glance.
Chapter Ninety-Four: Call Me the God of Fairy Tales! It's so funny to see others being tormented by stories!
When they first mentioned the existence of a god of humanity, Yitong felt unworthy of such a perfect person and believed that such a person could not possibly exist.
But after learning of her true existence and witnessing her splendor, many felt admiration. However, coming from a 'dark and gloomy' world like the dungeon, where ugly, smelly, and filthy black dwarves lived, even if she was the most beautiful, she was only beautiful in the dungeon. There was nothing to be proud of...
A pretty girl from a small town might blend into the crowd in a big city. This is precisely what worries Yi Tong and makes her lack of confidence.
However, Loki and Brach secretly thought, "Your appearance is anything but ordinary. Even in the realm of the Aesir, where beauties abound, you would definitely not be considered 'ordinary'."
How could this adorable little girl, who is loved by the three goddesses of fate who are accustomed to the fates of everyone in the Nordic world and know the existence of beauty and ugliness, have such innocent and beautiful eyes that are more beautiful than the sky and the sea? How could she possibly feel that she might be just average-looking and not good enough for a certain man?
