"Get up, Vico! If you sleep on, you won't be in time for the wedding of the King and Queen!"
On a huge amount of ice bed, a Frost titan teenager named Vico rubbed his eyes that were still a little confused, with an obvious sleepiness on his face.
But even so, he still managed to get up from the bed.
The Vico family lived in a two-story igloo. They went downstairs from the bedroom on the second floor. Vico went to the bathroom on the first floor to wash up and put on a grand dress.
Today is the wedding day of Loki, the king of Jotunheim, and Sif, the goddess of Asgard. For this reason, the people all over the country spontaneously held celebrations to bless the wedding of Loki and Sif.
The Vico family, who lived in the royal capital, was fortunate to be able to witness the wedding ceremony outside the palace today.
The reason why Loki's wedding has received so much attention from the people is not because of his status as a king, but because of the changes he has brought to Jotunheim since he inherited the throne.
Fifty years ago, the previous ruler of Jotunheim, King Lauf, suddenly announced his abdication during his visit to Asgard and handed over the throne to the current king Loki.
At first this decision was opposed by Odin, the king of Asgard, but under Lauf's repeated insistence, Odin decided to give Loki a chance to prove himself.
Odin will only approve of Lauf's decision if Loki successfully passes the three tests he set.
Neither Lauf nor Loki disputed this. Therefore, Odin set three checkpoints for Loki that can verify virtue, wisdom and skill.
The first level is a test of courage. Loki needs to take a bone from the treasure trove of the Asgard wolves.
Those who enter the treasure house of wolves will have the most terrifying hallucinations in their minds. If you want to complete the task, you must overcome your own fear.
The second level is a task of testing wisdom. Loki needs to steal a bird's egg from the top of the mountain where the Asgard condor hovers, and protect it carefully.
The task of this level was not completed until all three tests were completed and the bird eggs were not damaged.
The third level is a test of character. Loki needs to retrieve a piece of gold in an old mine full of gold.
If you can't overcome your greed and take multiple pieces of gold, the mission will be considered a failure.
After passing three checkpoints and obtaining three items, Loki still needs to take them back to the palace, and hand them over to Odin to judge whether Loki has completed all tasks and passed this test.
After the trial began, Loki first came to the first level to test his courage. To pass this level, Loki needs to enter the wolf pack's treasure house to take a bone.
Although there are wolves around here, if Loki just enters to take a bone, he will not be attacked.
The hardest part of this test is overcoming your own fears.
As Loki went deeper, a mist began to rise around him. At the same time, Loki's most frightening visions began to appear in his vision.
In the vision, Hela, Infinite Thanos, Celestial Group, Kang the Conqueror, one after another powerful enemies appeared in Asgard.
They killed Odin, Frigga, Sif, Thor, and many innocent Asgard people, but the weak self was powerless to resist, and could only watch Ragnarök come.
Desperation began to permeate Loki's body. In the fog of the wolf pack's treasure house, Loki lost his courage, his legs weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move forward.
However, just as Odin, who had been watching from the sidelines, was about to stop the test, the fog in the treasury began to lift.
And Loki also woke up from the illusion, and easily got a bone in the wolf pack's treasury.
Seeing that Loki successfully passed the first test, Odin had a gratified expression on his face.
But what Odin may not know is that it is not his courage that Loki can pass this level, but the skills rewarded by the system.
In Ninja Genjutsu, there is an auxiliary Genjutsu that can deal with this situation.
[Magic Mirror World Turn: Decipher the illusion cast by the enemy on oneself, and completely reflect the effect of the spell on the enemy. ]
It was at this critical moment that Loki remembered this illusion, successfully dispelling the fog and getting the bone required for customs clearance.
Then Loki came to the second level to test his wisdom. For Loki, it can be said that this level is not difficult.
As the god of tricks, he may not have great wisdom, but he definitely does not lack small cleverness.
After Loki came to the cliff where the Condor was, he directly used the skill of [Mirror Flower and Water Moon·Complete Hypnotic Ability].
The Condor, whose five senses are dominated by Loki, took the initiative to grab an egg with his claws, and then followed Loki.
With the condor by his side, helping him carry and protect the eggs, Loki doesn't have to worry about the eggs being damaged during the third mission and on the way back.
In this way, one person and one eagle came to the third and last level of this test - the old mine.
This level will test Loki's character.
The old mine is a cave full of gold almost everywhere, and it is a difficult test for anyone to be able to take only a piece of gold in such a place.
But in Loki's opinion, this is the easiest of the three levels.
It wasn't that Loki was ever noble, or that he didn't like gold.
It's just because compared with the rewards that can be obtained from the system after completing the mission, mere gold is worthless in Loki's eyes.
Loki pulled out his dagger, pried out a piece of gold from the wall of the old mine, and turned away without a trace of regret.
In the end, Loki successfully passed the test set by Odin with the proof of completing the three major levels, and became the new king of Jotunheim.
After Loki succeeded to the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible, the first thing he did was to change the entire natural environment of Jotunheim by himself.
The most fundamental reason why Jotunheim is so cold is actually determined by its position in the world tree.
In the world tree system composed of nine kingdoms, below Jotunheim is Niflheim, the underworld of ice and snow.
Niflheim is a world made entirely of ice, snow and death. The biting cold wind that blows continuously in Jotunheim all year round comes from Niflheim.
In the world tree, above Jotunheim is the kingdom of elves, Alfheim.
As a race that loves natural plants and yearns for light, almost all places in Alfheim are covered by towering trees planted by elves.
And this also almost completely blocked the light that should have entered Jotunheim through Alfheim, and Jotunheim fell into darkness.
The dark surroundings and icy winds have resulted in Jotunheim's desolate and harsh natural environment.
In order to change this, Loki first found the connection point between Jotunheim and Niflheim on the world tree system.
Then Loki used the energy of the thousand-year-old Pendant and the skill of freezing power to build a great wall of ice thousands of meters high, blocking the biting cold wind blowing from Jotunheim and Niflheim.
Immediately afterwards, Loki found a young Fixed Star in the universe, and used the ability to fly Thor's mine to bring the entire planet back to the galaxy where Jotunheim is located.
In this way, with the efforts of Loki, he successfully dispelled the haze and cold of Jotunheim, and brought the first ray of light to the people of this country since they were born.
So Loki in Jotunheim still has the reputation of the Sun King. Behind the name is the great deeds that Loki has accomplished.
Definitely, the change of the environment is only the first step that Loki has taken to change the country. In the next ten years, Loki has successively carried out reforms in politics, economy, military, medical care, education and other aspects.
From the status of Loki in the hearts of all Jotunheimers today, it can be seen that these changes have achieved huge amounts of success, and the lives of the people are getting better and better.
While Loki was dealing with these national affairs, he did not forget to solve his own lifelong affairs.
The relationship between him and Sif, after fifty years of watering and careful cultivation, is finally bearing fruit, and the two will join hands to enter the palace of marriage.
In this regard, the parents of Odin and Frigga are still very happy, although the result is a little bit wrong, Sif married Loki instead of Thor.
But no matter what, as long as it is their daughter-in-law.
The only two who aren't too happy are probably Heimdall and Thor.
Thor is a little better, his feelings for Sif, to put it bluntly, is the young Muai, and it is not an unforgettable love.
Although there is a little sadness in my heart caused by the unilateral loss of love, but more blessings to Sif.
As for Loki, forget about blessings or anything. Not cursing him is already Thor's greatest tolerance as a big brother.
He is obviously a younger brother, but he is ahead of himself in every way. Be the first to be the king, the first to be the husband of Sif, it's strange that Thor can bless him.
Not to mention that Loki had left an indelible psychological shadow on him before. Fortunately, Loki has been so busy dealing with Jotunheim's affairs these years that he has no time to continue torturing him.
But Heimdall didn't have such a good attitude as Thor. Heimdall, who was sitting at the wedding scene, gritted his teeth and looked at Loki, the bastard who abducted his precious sister, and his teeth were about to be crushed!
If Odin and Frigga were not there, Heimdall would have rushed to stop the wedding.
In any case, the wedding between the King of Jotunheim and the Goddess of Asgard finally came to a successful conclusion. After sending all the guests away, the two returned to the palace—the rest was indescribable.
