Chapter 2443 (1/2)
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? ”
