37 Odin.

I asked for permission and walked out of the Bifrost Bridge building, and went out to Asgard and its golden and familiar streets.

While I also felt a sense of belonging, I remembered that I hadn't taken the costs of repairing Asgard's army equipment at the Battle of Tønsberg, I had repaired nearly 6,000 armor/shield and 6,000 weapons at that time, since my cost was 20 gold (a low price because it was war) so this It means that there are approximately 240,000 gold coins waiting to be collected by me.

Yes, it is a medium-sized wealth. It seems that being a blacksmith in the middle of a current war is very profitable. I will be able to buy some expensive and rare resources with this money.

As I was walking down the street, I noticed that many Asgardians recognized me, it seemed like I was still very popular here, but I didn't care about this right now and immediately headed towards my parents' house.

I can, of course, go to Odin now, but I decided to check on my family first and explain the situation to them. If they heard it from the other side, they might understand it wrongly.

I stood in front of the door and knocked three times and waited until the door was opened by my mom, Helga, who was dressed in casual clothes (similar to 18th and 19th century clothing).

"Hello mom," I said to her while smiling sweetly.

My mom looked at me for a second before she pulled me towards her and hugged me, and she was able to do so because I didn't resist her "My son, I miss you so much!"

Immediately after that she dragged me into the house where she began to speak, "We were told that you were sent on a mission, but when you did not return after that ... Anyway, what do you think of sitting and telling me where you really have been by those who are sitting above?!"

I ignored her screams at the end of her speech, but felt guilty that I left for a long time without telling them, "I'm really sorry, about this ..., where is my father?"

"He's still at work, don't you think I don't know what you're thinking, you think I wouldn't ask you any questions if your dad was here, but you're totally wrong, little boy!" Mom said while poking in my face.

When I saw my mother's behavior, I could only smile and drag my mother to sit with me at the table.

In the following hours, I patiently answered all of my mother's questions and told her about my journey to Olympus, of course I told her it was a mission from Odin because I don't think it is a good thing to make Odin look like a liar.

At this moment, the door opened and my father, Trigev, entered the house and was surprised to see me (before I saw someone complaining because he did not smell the food smell), so I re-explained the reason for my absence again.

Then, I touched upon the subject of Zeus' desire to adopt me, they were not happy, but I told them that I did not just reject him so as not to offend his pride because I knew my parents would not agree to this.

On the other hand, I did not tell them the real reason I returned to Asgard, which is to talk to Odin.

When they heard that I had no desire to replace them, they sighed in relief and ate a light lunch before I asked permission to go and talk to Odin.

I headed straight for the royal palace, where the guards tried to stop me, but I managed to pass when I insisted there was something important that Odin should know.

"All father!" I said as I entered the throne room where Odin was on the throne, and I knelt on one knee as I had always done.

"All father!" The ten royal guards screamed with all their might in a harmonious voice causing my ears to vibrate in pain, I certainly did not miss this torture.

"Looks like you are back to your kingdom, Valli, son of Trigev, you can stand," Odin said as he stared at me, "You can leave."

The royal guards didn't say anything and walked out, and I got up because I got permission from Odin.

"Well, it looks like your vacation at Olympus is coming to an end, isn't it? I hope you haven't picked up some of their bad 'habits'," Odin said slowly and seriously. "Nevertheless, I will not deny that you have worn down a little, Asgard will benefit greatly from your current experiences. Your skills, and we may be able to raise a new generation of Asgardians .. "

Upon hearing Odin's constant talk about the public interest of Asgard and how I would be able to help my nation and make it stronger, I could only frown internally, it was clear that he wanted me to hand over Olympus's techniques to Asgard, and he did not even try to hide the meaning of his words.

I waited until he finished before saying, "I must apologize, all father, but it seems impossible for me to help the development of my great nation with my experiences gained from my journey."

Odin frowned even more and said, "Why is this?"

"I have sworn in honor of my family, my blood, Asgard and all the Asgardians not to leak what has been taught," I said, which made Odin look at me silently, and I said again, "Anyway, Asgard's techniques are clearly more superior."

Odin looked at me at length before saying, "If that's all, you can go."

"In fact, there is one more thing," I said, which made him raise his eyebrow, so I continued. "In fact, I discussed with Zeus the idea of ​​creating a diplomatic bond between Asgard and Olympus, and all that prevents this from happening is your approval."

"You are not in a position to discuss such matters, you can leave now," Odin said immediately. It seemed that he had not thought of the possibility of acceptance.

"Forming something like this will not only strengthen the friendly relationship between the two kingdoms, and earn us a reliable ally, but exchanges between the two kingdoms will be possible, and we can exchange resources and minerals, which will give us the edge against both our enemies and our allies, and one day it may be Possibly ... "I started talking trying to get Odin to realize that there aren't any bad sides to endorsing Olympus.

Odin interrupted me in the middle of my speech, "It seems that you misunderstood my previous kindness towards you, soldier! You are not special, just an ordinary Asgardian out of 100,000 Asgardians, and I can easily dispense you!"

Just for a moment, I looked at him in shock before I was filled with anger, and I couldn't stop it from appearing on my face, even though I realized it was unwise to show anger in front of Odin.

Needless to say, he never showed any kindness towards me before, which makes him a hypocrite, but he just compared me with those who waste thousands of years in laziness and debauchery.

In only about 100 years I have actually progressed more than any Asgardian can in 5,000 years, even though I knew that my talent was only average.

I'm sure the speed of my progress is the fastest in hundreds of thousands of Asgard history, but now ...

He only denied my hard work, my strength, my efforts, and considered me expendable ...

I suppressed the anger inside me, it wouldn't be good to explode here and now.

"I think you should think about it, Odin!" I said to him while I stopped calling him with his title, "I realize that you are a proud king and everything else, but this attitude will win Asgard just more enemies."

Odin looked at me at length and I stared in his eye as well, I'm not going to lie, the little respect I had for him has now completely disappeared.

For a king of a kingdom, Odin makes many stupid choices that he could have easily avoided.

"Well, I think I can think about this a little bit," Odin said while standing up, but suddenly he appeared in front of me, I tried to use my divine energy to escape but his palm hit my chest instantly.

Contrary to his old appearance, the strength behind Odin's palm was sufficient to send me flying back, and all the divine energy was discharged from my body.

Before I knew it, I found myself on the Bifrost Bridge.

"In the meantime, try not to die," Odin's voice echoed in my ears.
