Pledging with God [Norse Mythology]

Chapter 36

The demons living in the darkness have had the ambition to devour the light with evil since ancient times.In ancient times, when Baldr, the god of light, was just born, some demons tried to kidnap him but failed.

Later, due to the protection of the gods, Odin, the Queen of God and Frigga, the Queen of Light, also sought a promise from all things in the world not to hurt Baldr.In addition, with the increase in Balder's own strength, no one dared to kill or kidnap him. The smart demons changed the way of embezzling the light, that is, trying to combine with Balder who possesses the divine power of light.

As long as Guangming became the son-in-law of their demon clan, wouldn't that be fine?Therefore, from time to time there are always men and women from the demon race who come to woo Balder, of course, this is also because of the attribute of attracting peach blossoms that comes with the God of Light.

With this reason, the gods will naturally not let the demons take advantage of Balder.In addition, Baldr has a cold and arrogant personality, so he always refuses those suitors.

Therefore, when the demon architect wanted to marry his daughter to Balder, none of the gods present agreed.

"No. You can choose a husband-in-law for your daughter among the gods, but it must not be Baldr." Odin refused the architect without any room for turning back.

"But you just promised me that I can make up for whatever I want. Odin, as a god king, if you break your promise like this, aren't you afraid that our demon king will come to settle accounts with you?" the architect said angrily.

Indeed, although it shows that the gods and the demon world are in peace, in fact, the confrontation between the two parties has never stopped since ancient times, and it is just that there is no reason to start a war.Thinking of it this way, the gods became embarrassed.

"The architect. The marriage between a man and a woman depends most on the fate between the two people. If there is no fate, even if your daughter marries Baldr, she will not be happy."

Just when the gods were at their wit’s end, the hen protected Baldhainier like a hen and spoke, and he rolled his eyeballs, thinking about it, and said to the building that he was lying.

"Although Hainier, you are right. But how can I know if there is a fate between my daughter and the God of Light?" the man asked back.

Hooked!Hey, Hainier was overjoyed!He glanced at the gods who raised stones to smash his feet every day, and then used his ignorant, but in fact extremely clever, mind to come up with an idea to resolve the crisis.

"It's very easy to prove the fate. Anyway, Odin has promised your daughter to marry a male god, why don't we call your daughter here, and then gather all the unmarried male gods in Arthgard together to open an election Husband Assembly. Let all the male gods cover their faces but barefoot, and then let your daughter choose one of them to be her husband, if she has a destiny with the God of Light, she will naturally choose the God of Light."

"Okay. Hainier's idea is good." All the gods agreed.

"Okay. That's it. I'm going to fetch my daughter now."

In this way, that annoying demon architect was finally sent away.

"But what if she still chooses me?" Balder asked worriedly.

"It won't be such a coincidence. Arthurgard's unmarried, divorced, widowed, and underage male gods plus male immortals, there are hundreds of people, not to mention thousands, according to the algorithm in the theory of probability, and look It’s not based on your face, that is to say, your beauty is useless, so the probability of being selected is less than one percent.” Heinier calculated quickly in his mind very academically.

"I didn't expect Hainier to be so good at your magic." The math idiots looked at Hainier with admiration.

"Hey." Hainier showed his white teeth with a beneficial smile.He can't help but be good at magic, as long as he has the opportunity to learn, everything will be fine.You just wait for Heinir to counterattack.

In short, the husband selection meeting proposed by Hainier immediately raised the banquet of the gods to a high level, and everyone was in high spirits.Therefore, the conference was held in Hainier's courtyard.The male fairies are frantically looking for single, male, and movable objects, while the female fairies cover all the candidates who stand barefoot in the yard with colorful veils.

When the demon architect came back with his daughter Skadi, he saw that the yard was already crowded with veiled men.

"Miss Skadi, you must have heard your father explain the rules of the game, and now you can choose one of them as your husband."

"Why didn't you stand inside?" the woman looked at the handsome but unfamiliar Heinil and asked.

The gods did not expect that the daughter of the demon architect was very beautiful. Her plump figure was dressed in silver armor, a short and light white hunting jacket, white fur leggings, and wide-toed snow boots.For such a beautiful woman, the gods also intended to give justice.But obviously this beautiful woman is quite satisfied with Hainier, the game host.

"Me? Then what, I have my own choice." Heinier laughed awkwardly, he was not interested in women, besides, he had already swore to himself that he would take care of this Baldr who he couldn't understand.

"The God of Light..." the architect reminded in his daughter's ear.

"Understood, father." The woman responded with a frown, and then walked in front of those masked men standing in confusion, but her eyes wandered between a pair of bare/naked feet.I thought to myself, Baldr is the most beautiful face among the gods, so his feet must also be the most beautiful!

However, when she walked among the crowd, she saw a pair of smooth, delicate, beautiful and flawless feet.Hainier suddenly covered his heart and let out a startled sound of "Oops", and the gods also began to gasp.

"Skadi, that's him!" As the gatekeeper, the architect is already familiar with the evil tricks that gods like to play on people.

"En." Skass responded, and with a shy face, he took the hand of the male god in the red hijab, brought him in front of the gods and said, "Your Majesty Odin, I will choose this man." The male god is my husband."

"Okay. No problem." Heinir agreed first for Odin.Then when Skadi took off the red veil from the male god's head, the soundtrack of "Pick up your hijab ~ let me see your face ~" came out in a funny way.

The male god was young and handsome but showed a weak face. It wasn't Balder at all, but Nerd, the god of summer and sea!

"I was cheated again!" The demon architect was very angry when he saw that it wasn't Balder.

"Your daughter Skadi chose this by herself, and we didn't even talk about it." Heinier said to the man with an evil twist of his lips.

"It's not fair! I want to ask the Demon King to crush Arthgard!"

"Skadi, don't you like me?" The warm man Nield said softly, commenting on the hot beauty who was dressed like a lady.

"No more. Let's go home." The woman said shyly, then dragged the male god away, leaving only the gods and the old man who was still clamoring to crush Asgard.

"Let's go, let's go. It's late enough today." Odin yawned, and after speaking to the people in the yard, he hugged Frigga and went back to the palace for bed.

This can be regarded as a complete solution to a big problem, and the gods all praised Hainier a lot, so they reluctantly went back to their respective homes.

Everyone had almost left, and the busy courtyard just now became empty, but only the male god who was standing in the far corner just now, still wearing a red veil, did not leave.

Hainier thought of Baldr, who he specially arranged in the corner, and immediately ran to the man with a bright smile, and then lifted the bottom of the red veil with both hands, revealing the starry sky under the veil. Still bright black hair and black eyes Balder.

"Balder, why..." Heinir wanted to say something suspiciously, but was interrupted by Balder.

"Why don't you sing to lift up my hijab this time, so you can see my face?" The corner of the man's mouth curled up a bewildered smile as he looked at the silly Hainier.

The popularization of official history: the source of passerby A's mistress

Nerd's second wife was a giantess, daughter of the storm giant Tiasi.It is said that shortly after Loki rescued Qitong and the gods burned Tiasi, who had turned into an eagle, an unexpected guest suddenly came to Arsegard.It was a woman who claimed to be Tiasi's daughter and came here to demand justice. ——Although she is the daughter of an old and ugly frost giant, this giantess Skadi (skadi, injury) is very beautiful: silver armor, pointed feather arrows, short and light white hunting clothes, and white fur leggings , broad-toed snowshoes.The gods could do justice to such a beautiful woman; they begged for reconciliation with Skadi.But Skadi refuses, and must one life for one life.There was no smile on her frosty white face; Loki, seeing things froze, wanted Skati to smile first.He brought in a cat, and made all the antics, and the gods laughed, and Skadi couldn't help snorting.

Taking this opportunity, the gods urged Skadi to reconcile; they said they had respect for her dead father, so they put his eyes in the northern sky to be a pair of stars; they Show Skadi the shining star.Finally, the gods proposed to ask Skadi to choose one of the gods as her husband.The method of selection is that the gods cover their heads with cloth, but expose their bare feet, and let Skadi choose her feet. Whoever chooses her feet will be her husband.Skadi agreed.She saw a pair of beautiful feet, and thought that the owner of these feet must be Balder, the god of light, because she was very fond of Balder's handsome appearance; but when she took off the cloth covering her face, it was not Balder , but Nerd, the god of summer and the sea.
