Moonlight on the dark sea is like a veil over the abyss. The cold and open sea can't see the end. However, this reef island is like a lighthouse at this time.
The waves beat against the black reefs, scouring all kinds of shellfish on them. From time to time, seaweed would hang on the sharp points, and then be gradually torn by the current.
There is a small stone house on the island. A bonfire is set up in front of the house. At this time, a circle of strong men are surrounded by the fire. They are drinking in big bowls, fighting with each other, and telling all kinds of bragging jokes, such as killing the frost giant with bare hands, or riding a boar without saddles.
Asgard's customs are very similar to those in northern Europe. There will be no crying at the funeral, but carnival, drinking and fighting to commemorate the dead.
The more you drink, the deeper you feel. It's a good memory to beat or be beaten. As long as you don't use weapons, it's OK.
Don't say, this custom seems barbaric, but it makes sense to think about it carefully. If you go to whose funeral you get ripped off an arm, then every time you see a bare shoulder in the future...
"Oh, it was ripped off when I went to XXX's funeral."
It's still fresh in my memory. Maybe decades later, I can still smile.
A bonfire, a small boat, a lot of wine and strong men, this is the funeral scene. Next, after everyone is drunk, put the dead body on the boat and push it to the sea, and then light it with a burning arrow.
It's just that Odin, as the leader of this "farewell ceremony", has not yet breathed his breath, so this is just the first half of the ceremony.
Other people are not by the campfire, but still holding a fishing rod, fishing on the beach reef, and behind tol and rocky looking at his back, but do not know what to say.
Thor was thinking about how many fish he could catch in such a turbulent place. And rocky was thinking, if he knew that he would die soon, would he be in the mood to fish so leisurely?
Daisy stood further ahead of them, with a meow hammer in her hand, and wanted to show it to Odin.
But the former God King didn't answer. He still looked at the buoy in the waves and shook his head with a smile: "no, I can't use it any more. You hold it in charge of lightning, I'm very relieved."
The sound of the waves could not hide the king's voice. Although he sounded very weak, he spoke as if the sea would give way for him.
In this way, on the contrary, the female Thor was a little at a loss. She scratched her head and didn't know what to do next.
I thought Odin, like other old people, would be recalled by the weapon of his youth. Take it to recall the eventful years, and then talk about how to knock people better.
But the old man didn't play according to the routine, so Daisy didn't have a chance to say what she was ready for.
Old Odin seems to have been indifferent to life and death, and even has been happy, just like an ordinary old man, so happy to see the children come home to reunite.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?" Daisy has no words to talk about. She feels embarrassed. She doesn't know what to say, because although she uses the power of fairy palace, she is an earthling after all.
Strictly speaking, this is the alien gathering. It's like I went to the wrong hotel.
Odin gently moved his fishing rod, but the water pattern of the buoy in the waves could not be seen at all. He sighed gently:
"in Asgard's traditional concept, death in battle is the most glorious, and death in bed is the most despised. But actually, as a ruler, I would rather all my soldiers die than die. Glory is not the most important thing. Do you understand? "
"Soldiers mean population, especially in a place like Asgard where people are all soldiers." Daisy, after all, is a highly educated person. Of course, she knows this: "it's not wrong to use the sword to seize the land, but we can't cast all the plows into swords."
"Ha ha, that's right. If my son can have such a clear understanding of you, maybe I..." at this point, Odin shook his head again, as if to give up some idea: "that's why I acquiesce to the choice that the knell helped me make. Maybe HeLa is the ideal one."
Daisy and HeLa didn't know each other at all, so they couldn't find a topic for a while.
And Odin also seems to forget her around, and continue to focus on the fishing line in his hand.
At this time, the rainbow bridge cast down again, and out of the light came Haila in dark green. Her eyes swept the noisy crowd, and people were silent. She snorted with satisfaction, raised her delicate chin, and walked toward the sea with her head up.
"Thor, rocky, are you back?"
She dragged her long skirt to them, with no expression on her face. She couldn't tell what it meant.
"God King."
Thor didn't know how she felt about this sister who didn't know where she came from. She just responded numbly. Rocky, the second prince, laughs and bows gracefully.But HeLa didn't give him any special treatment. Instead, she patted them on the head and walked calmly in front of them, staring at Daisy.
Then she laughed, as if the flowers were blooming in the dark. She reached out and took Daisy's arm:
"the female Thor alone? How's he doing with the knell
"Up to yesterday, he was fine, but it's not clear now." Daisy felt the touch of a dead body. She felt cold in her heart. HeLa's skin didn't have any temperature. At the same time, it was as white as white paper.
Hella nodded, as if to understand something: "lost contact again? But it's normal for him. Wait for me for a moment. Let me finish talking with Odin. I have something to communicate with you. "
With that, without even giving Daisy the chance to refuse, HeLa uses her magic to hold herself and Odin in the air with Obsidian spines and starts a secret conversation.
No one knows what they said. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves covered everything. But when they returned to the ground, HeLa did not hold gungnier, the representative of theocracy, and the fishing rod was still in Odin's hands.
But she didn't look unhappy at all. Instead, she took Daisy's hand and went to the place where there was no one: "come on, let's say something about the world tree. Don't follow others. What are you doing? Keep playing, keep dancing
"But I'm still in a hurry to go back to New York. There's something to do over there..." Daisy looked at the two brothers, but Odin called them away and asked them to go to the distance with her.
"Oh? Can you tell me something? " Hella didn't know what she was thinking. Her face was full of interest.
Daisy saw that she could not get away, so she had to tell the goddess of the underworld about the invasion of scrooge. HeLa said that it was not difficult to distinguish Scrooges, just to examine their souls.
This is another way that ordinary people can't reach.
About ten minutes later, Thor and rocky came back with gungnier and a message.
"Odin is dead, his body has turned into a star, and he dissipates in the wind."
The warm farewell ceremony officially started under the auspices of Freya. All the men from the fairyland were in a group. Only rocky left a magic part, and he didn't know where to hide.
