Chapter 818: Chapter 19 You Look at This Cake, It’s Both Big and Round_3 Chapter 818: Chapter 19 You Look at This Cake, It’s Both Big and Round_3 “Jotunheim has now reached a truce with the Immortal Palace, and both sides are intent on reconciliation. However, both sides are currently lacking an esteed and respected diator to bridge the gap, so Odin hopes you could stay in the Immortal Palace for a while to speak on behalf of the giants of Jotunheim. After all, you are both his kin and the wisest elder among the Giant Clan, and you are the only one in Jotunheim qualified to succeed Utgard Loki and beco the new king of Jotunheim.”
Faced with such an abundance and explosiveness of information, Mimir was montarily stunned:
“Wait, what happened to Utgard Loki?”
“He and I made a bet in the Iron Forest, and by a stroke of luck, I won. According to our agreent, he will step down from his position as the king of Jotunheim and no longer interfere with the developnt of the Nine Great Kingdoms, so now the throne of Jotunheim is vacant.”
Luo En answered truthfully, his eyes simultaneously reflecting confusion,
“Hasn’t anyone told you about what has been happening in Jotunheim recently?”
Hearing this, Mimir’s expression beca cloudy.
At that mont, Luo En seed to have also realized sothing and suddenly felt indignant:
“You, a direct descendant of Ancestor Ymir, have been sitting here, guarding the Wisdom Spring of Jotunheim for hundreds of years. To not tell you about such important matters, they must not take you seriously at all! Isn’t this too outrageous? Who gave that order?”
“It must have been Saki!”
...
Mimir responded with a dark face, a fire of unnad anger rising within him.
Before the war, Utgard Loki had taken a portion of the Wisdom Spring Water and bestowed it upon the Mountain Giant Saki and his daughter Scadi.
Since Mimir had a vague guess about the “Frost Giant King’s” real identity, he naturally did not dare to stop him.
Still, afterward, he was ordered to stand guard in front of the Wisdom Spring Water, oblivious to the significant changes that had occurred at the front lines.
“No wonder!”
Luo En seed to suddenly understand, his gaze at Mimir turning more serious,
“You probably don’t know yet, but Saki and his daughter have both mastered the Lun Rune, it seems to be a gift from Utgard Loki. If the Mountain Giants aim to harm you, you must be careful!”
“He wouldn’t dare!”
Mimir grew furious, his old face flushing with anger.
In the land of Jotunheim, covered in ice and snow, the Frost Giants were the mainstream, and the Mountain Giants were a vassal.
If Olvir, fate’s incarnation as Utgard Loki, ca to power, he had nothing to say.
But Saki, just a ground mole burrowing in the belly of the mountain, had no right to ride roughshod over him, and now they even possessed the Lun Rune, containing the great secrets of the world!
This was unfair!
Seeing Mimir hop in rage, a certain God of Tricks who had successfully fanned the flas chuckled wickedly.
It appeared that even a giant endowed with wisdom could not see through the veils of fa and desire for power.
The petty title of King of Jotunheim, he did not care for, nor did Olvir, but that did not an the Mountain King Saki and the duplicitous Wisdom Giant Mimir wouldn’t be tempted by it.
Moreover, the issue was not scarcity but inequality.
Mimir had guarded the Wisdom Spring for hundreds of years, reaping few benefits and never ceasing to complain, while Saki, whom he had once looked down upon, was living a more and more luxurious life, even showing signs of surpassing him.
These were things Mimir could not tolerate.
When Luo En saw that the ti was ripe, he sincerely suggested:
“With Utgard Loki’s retirent, chaos is bound to erupt in Jotunheim. Now that Saki has mastered the Lun Rune, his strength is not what it once was; his daughter Scadi is also not to be underestimated, while you stand alone. To be safe, better follow to the Immortal Palace to take shelter for a while.”
“You want to hide from them?”
“This is rely a strategic retreat. Once you learn the complete Lun Rune from Odin and later represent Jotunheim’s interests in the Immortal Palace, speaking up on their behalf, those Frost Giants and Mountain Giants will inevitably be grateful to you. When that ti cos, if you wish to return and take control of Jotunheim, you will surely have instant support! At worst, you could borrow troops from Odin! After all, he is your nephew. If he’s not going to help his own uncle, who would he help?”
Amid Luo En’s stirring visions and promises, Mimir couldn’t help being heart-stirred.
Yet, looking back at the gurgling Wisdom Spring, Mimir hesitated:
“But if I go, what will beco of this Wisdom Spring?”
Although the spring geographically belonged to the entirety of Jotunheim, having guarded it for so long, Mimir had co to see it as his private property, unwilling to share it with outsiders, thus earning the enmity and ostracism of many giants.
“That’s simple!” Luo En slapped his chest decisively, pulling a golden Holy Grail from the Magic Circle Diagram. The clear spring water and the Wisdom Divinity it contained were instantly absorbed into the Holy Grail, turning into a fathomless ocean.
Watching Luo En unhesitatingly hand over the gold cup filled with the Wisdom Spring Water, Mimir reluctantly loosened his grip on his cane.
Slling the rich aroma from the cup, he couldn’t resist taking a sip, the delightful taste and euphoric experience causing the Wisdom Giant’s eyes to glow, his gaze at the Divine Liquid in the cup filled with eagerness and excitent:
“What is this?”
“Honey Wine. The spring water’s taste was too bland, so I brewed it into a drink. If you like it, we can drink and chat on the way, and when we get to the Immortal Palace, there will be more.”
“Good! Very good!”
Mimir’s eyes shone, heaping praise upon the Asa ssenger for his thoughtfulness.
Then, glancing at the nearly dried-up Wisdom Spring, no longer feeling any attachnt, he strode forward with the golden cup in hand, greedily drinking the delicious Honey Wine, following behind the Asa ssenger towards the border’s Iron Forest.
