Chapter 1099 Father and Son (Twenty-Eight)
"Hello, Your Majesty Odin, I am very happy to talk to you, but I just received a patient, I need to summarize his situation, and may need to follow up on the subsequent treatment, so we can make an appointment tomorrow",
Just as Schiller said this, he heard a thunderous sound from behind. He put down the phone, sighed helplessly, turned around and whispered: "It would be great if they came earlier"
"Do you think I'm late?" Odin's voice came from behind Schiller: "I think, for a psychologist, any time should be just right."
Schiller turned around and saw Odin, who was burly and majestic. However, what surprised him was that Odin was not wearing the armor he usually wore, but the traditional costume of Asgard, dressed like a Viking.
The traditional Viking costume does not actually look like a pirate, but is somewhat similar to the image of traditional ancient Chinese soldiers. They are all soft clothes lining, hard chain mail tied on the outside, knives and horns on the waist, and wearing horn helmets.
Odin, dressed in this outfit, was no longer as majestic as before. Instead, he looked more casual and wild. His manners were the same. He did not regard himself as an outsider at all. He quickly crossed the desk, strode to the sofa, sat down, patted the armrest of the sofa, and asked, "Are there any wines?"
"Of course, Your Majesty, but there shouldn't be good wines like Asgard. There are only champagnes here." Schiller walked to the wine cabinet and looked at the wine in his wine cabinet. He seemed to want to pick out a bottle of good wine to entertain Odin, but Odin didn't care. He pulled his beard and said:
"I have lived on Earth longer than you. I know that you humans don't like to brew too strong wine. Give me a glass of champagne, without ice cubes. I hate wine with water."
Odin's voice is always full of energy and loud. When he speaks, the whole room is filled with "buzzing" echoes.
Schiller did not take out the thin champagne glass that he had used to entertain Howard, but directly took out two draft beer glasses and three or four bottles of champagne, and placed them on the coffee table in the sofa area with a tray.
Odin drank a glass of wine without thinking, put the glass heavily on the table, wiped his mouth, adjusted his beard, and then said, "I came a little in a hurry, let me moisten my throat first."
Schiller was about to speak, but Odin stopped him and said, "Don't call me Your Majesty, just call me Odin."
Odin's series of actions looked a bit rough, but it was not offensive at all. Instead, it made people feel that he was a tough and straightforward person. It must be admitted that the greatest king in Asgard's history has his own uniqueness and exudes a personal charm from the inside out.
"No, Your Majesty, I rarely call each other's names at work. During this period, we try not to establish a relationship other than consulting, which allows me to remain objective. Of course, if you allow, I can omit honorifics." Schiller sat opposite Odin and said.
"Let's do it." Odin took another sip of wine, rinsed his mouth with champagne, and then said, "Have you been with Loki recently?"
"No, the last time we met was before Christmas, and he was with his brother. But I heard that Thor went on a tour after spending Christmas with Steve and the free members of the Avengers. Didn't he take Loki with him?"
Odin shook his head and said, "This is the first time Loki didn't go on a tour of the nine kingdoms with his brother. Frigga and I thought he was playing around or stayed on Earth to handle the business of the Sanctuary. Unexpectedly, I heard his oath in Asgard a few days ago, so I want to ask you, what happened?"
Generally, "Isn't it?'" Do you think this is my plan? "Schiller pointed out what Odin was thinking. Odin looked into his eyes with a big expression."
Schiller shook his head and said, "I wasn't in a good condition some time ago. I hardly participated in any major events and was resting all the time."
"What's wrong with you?" Odin's only usable eye narrowed slightly. He always spoke directly to the problem itself without any courtesy or euphemism, but it was not unreasonable, just a little blunt.
Anxiety attack. "Schiller took a sip of champagne and shook his head gently. Odin put down the glass and said, "Then you shouldn't drink. Take the glass away. I won't drink either."
"Your Majesty Odin, I really don't know where Loki went? Didn't you and Thor look for him carefully?"
Odin pursed his lips and poured all the remaining wine in the glass into his mouth, then said, "I asked Thor to bring his brother back, but Thor kept dragging his feet and didn't want to go. I didn't want to mobilize the fleet without him, so I came here to ask you to help find Loki."
"To be honest, when I heard his oath, Frigga and I were stunned. I pulled out three of my beards, and Frigga cried for two hours, but Thor was the least anxious."
Odin shook his head, looking a little confused, and said, "Usually, he has the best relationship with his brother, but this time, he didn't seem to be worried, and it seemed that he didn't want Frigga and I to mobilize a large force to find Loki."
"So, I came to you without telling him. Tell me, what's going on? I really don't understand these two brothers."
"Do you want to talk about Thor and Loki?" Schiller asked. Odin didn't understand the meaning of his question. Schiller changed the question and said, "We can go from effect to cause, or from cause to effect. But no matter which way, the logic is actually the same. It depends on how you are more accustomed to receiving information?"
"Then let's start with the two brothers." Odin's face showed a rare hesitation. He continued, "Since Thor succeeded to the throne, After that, I couldn't understand the relationship between the two brothers more and more. "
"When Thor was still a prince, their relationship was not very good. In other words, Thor tried to fulfill his responsibility as a brother and wanted to take care of his brother, but it didn't work. Loki didn't want to be a younger brother at all and tried hard to prove that he was the boss, but it didn't work either."
"It's not the first time that Frigga and I have been troubled by this kind of thing. We have tried some ways to improve their relationship, but they always perfunctorily do it. "
"Before Thor ascended the throne, the two of them acted like brothers in front of us. "But after Thor took the throne, they became very strange. They didn't seem to be harmonious on the surface. They often quarreled in front of me and Frigga, and even quarreled in the court." "But, Frigga and I both felt that their relationship was much better than before." Odin tutted his lips, as if he didn't know how to express it. He said, "It's intuition, do you understand? It comes from the intuition of parents." "Just before Loki disappeared, Frigga invited Loki and me to dinner, but Loki was like he had eaten a few pounds of gunpowder. He rarely gave us a meal. Frigga didn't give him any face, and we didn't know what happened to him. "
"If I have to guess, I feel that he seems to be very anxious and impatient. He contradicted me at the dinner table, as if he was just trying to quarrel with me and leave quickly. Frigga and I don't know what he is going to do."
Odin talked about Loki's performance intermittently. He was somewhat similar to Howard, but Howard was a bit like a literati, always paying attention to the wording, but Odin used the simplest and most straightforward words to describe his observations of Loki and express his views on other people.
Looking at Odin, who was dressed simply in front of him, Schiller couldn't help but sigh that the father of the gods of Asgard could indeed be called the greatest emperor of all time.
If it is said that Magneto has personal charm, but is not good at expressing himself and can only show one percent, then Odin completely magnified his personal charm by two or three times through his behavior.
Odin's every move shows the best part of his personality. He is generous, magnanimous, and energetic. Although he is very powerful, he does not make people feel superior. Although some of his words are too straightforward, they also imply his concern for others. He seems to be rough but thoughtful and worthy of reliance.
Schiller quickly made a profile in his mind. He took a sip of champagne, quickly prepared a draft in his mind, and then said:
"The family situation of the Asgard royal family cannot be analyzed using the cases of ordinary families. Because you are a royal family, it is particularly special."
"The most special point is that there may be more than one family member in a generation, but there is indeed one throne. The changes in family relationships caused by this situation are much more complicated than those of ordinary families."
Odin waved his hand, as if he didn't take it seriously at all. He said to Schiller: "I know what you want to ask. Many people don't dare to ask, but in fact there is nothing to be taboo about. The throne must be Thor's. He is undoubtedly the first heir."
6 Of course, you may think that this is unfair to Loki, but from the moment they can understand what I say, I told them both very directly that the throne belongs to Thor, and there is no other possibility. ","
Odin's straightforwardness shocked Schiller. Looking at Schiller's expression, he shook his head and said:
"Otherwise, what else do you think can be done? There is only one throne, but there are two sons. If I didn't announce the correct answer at the beginning and let them guess, the result would be a hundred times worse now."
"I don't understand who spread this matter so much." Odin showed a helpless expression on his face.
"I have said my conclusion more than once, both privately and publicly. Moreover, I did not wait until they grow up to say it. I have said that the next God King is Thor Odinson, and I have said it thousands of times."
Odin leaned back on the back of the sofa, put his hands on the armrests, and said, "Many people say that I am biased, but do you think there is a better solution to this problem?"
"Asgard can only have one God King, which means that I must choose one. No matter who I choose, it is unfair to the other one."
"And what I can do is to try to choose one who can meet my expectations and is more suitable for this position. At the same time, tell them the answer before they have a deeper thought about this issue."
"I'm not the kind of bastard father who told his two sons that whoever is better can inherit my legacy. But in fact, I already had the answer in my heart, and then I took sides when they were fighting each other."
"When Loki was just beginning to understand, I had already emphasized to him that he had no chance of succession, but it was not his fault, because there is only one throne, and even in the order of first come first served, it should be Thor."
Looking at Odin's face, Schiller's fingertips trembled for the first time, because he found that the prepared speech in his mind was completely different from the actual situation.
Schiller did not expect that this God King was more wise, more far-sighted, and more decisive than he imagined, and he could even be called a good father.
