(Benefit chapter has been uploaded to the group files, use it as you see fit)_2 And after arriving in the Nordic God Era, Luo En always thought about how to create a localized alcoholic beverage, to facilitate his future missionary work.
After all, the climate and resources here were vastly different from those in the Age of Greek Gods, and using the old thods to brew might not suit the local conditions.
Hence, after nurous trials, Luo En thought of using honey to replace grapes for ferntation, creating a uniquely flavored honey wine.
And upon hearing the novel na “wine,” Odin imdiately got interested. He picked up a sea bowl and tilted it back, gulping down the amber Nectar. His eyes imdiately lit up.
First ca the mild sweetness, its fragrance soft and robust; then, a fiery sensation spread from the tongue into the stomach, bringing a delightful warmth; finally, a tipsy euphoria surged to his heart, making one feel as if all troubles were cast aside, gaining brief peace and extre joy.
Tasting the flavors in the wine, Odin excitedly requested another serving,
“Great stuff, give another bowl!”
Luo En gladly obliged, holding the jar as he poured more honey wine into the bowl.
...
Before the bowl was even full, Odin couldn’t wait. He grabbed the sea bowl and tilted his head back, drinking it all in one gulp, then thumped the bowl heavily on the table,
“Another!”
This repeated several tis. An insatiable Odin simply put down the sea bowl, snatched the wine jar from Luo En’s hands, and drank heartily from the jar’s mouth.
Watching this future Nordic Divine King lose his composure over wine, Luo En was not at all surprised.
If one were to ask which mythology system had the best wine in the world? The Nordic God Era definitely had a place. In other divine systems, a God of Wine is usually under a Divine King, to curb the frenzy and intoxication brought by wine. However, in a sense, the Nordic God of Wine was Divine King Odin himself.
For the na “Odin” implied “the drunken god,” and besides him, there was no role for a God of Wine among the Nordic gods.
Furthermore, the initial creation of honey wine and its priestly usage were also related to Odin. Nearly all heroes in the Nordic epics loved honey wine, and if you wished to be a famous mortal king, you’d need to build a great hall for drinking honey wine. If a hero visited your hall and drank your honey wine, he was morally obligated to protect you with force.
Thus, it is no exaggeration to say that in the culture conveyed by Nordic mythology, wine represented authority, family, wisdom, poetry, military service, and Fate.
Considering these reasons, Luo En naturally wanted to take the initiative, securing the authority of the Nordic God of Wine for himself to facilitate his future plans.
Seeing Odin, oblivious to being openly deceived, Luo En felt a tinge of guilt and thus generously brought out several more jars of honey wine for Odin to enjoy.
Having just been saved, and warmly hosted, Odin’s fondness for Luo En skyrocketed, and he expressed emotionally,
“Loki, you are closer to than my own clan brothers, I really don’t know how to repay your kindness.”
At these words, Luo En felt sowhat embarrassed.
As soone planning to destroy the Nordic God Era and seize the Fate Fruit, saving Odin and offering him wine were not done with good intentions.
With the few scruples he had, Luo En coughed and made an evasive comnt,
“Talking about repaynt is too formal. I just feel we get along well. Having a sensible deity like you around might make this World a better place.”
An obviously drunk Odin trembled in excitent at these words, feeling an impulse of regret for not having t sooner.
A true confidant!
What do those battle-focused Giants and deities understand? How can you build a better world with such brutes?
The world can be conquered by force but can’t be governed by it!
The reason why the world under the Ancestor Giant Ymir and the Giant Clan didn’t improve, but rather beca a haze of gloom, was precisely because of this!
The more Odin thought about it, the more excited he beca. His gaze towards Luo En ward, and in a mont of impulsivity, he grabbed Luo En’s arm and loudly declared,
“Loki, I’ve decided, I want to make a blood pact with you, to beco true brothers!”
“This is a bit…”
“From now on, whatever is mine will definitely be yours too!”
“Big brother! Let’s not talk anymore. From now on, we are brothers of different fathers and mothers!”
Luo En gripped Odin’s arm, looking sincerely committed.
Acknowledge a big brother, and later on, split benefits equally? This deal was a sure win since Odin only ntioned sharing his part; Luo En hadn’t agreed to do the sa.
Yours is mine, and mine is still mine? Who wouldn’t agree to such favorable terms?
And once Odin accepted his Heavenly Destiny and beca the god king of the Nordic World, having that status would make it much easier to undermine the Nordic World.
At this mont, hearing that his dear brother had agreed to the blood pact, an excited Odin imdiately proceeded with Luo En to perform the blood ceremony.
The so-called “blood pact” was a tradition of the Divine Race. The specific ritual involved creating a large archway with two semicircular pieces of sod, placing a long spear in the center, then blood-unrelated oath-makers entering the arch and cutting themselves, mixing their blood on the ground, declaring vows to the ancestor Buri, and finally, shaking hands to conclude and beco brothers.
