Chapter 185: The Mafia Godfather Version of Odin
Hephaestus has two concerns; one is his "created" daughter Pandora, who was originally just a key to the magic box, but because she was born with consciousness and a personality, she was treated like a daughter by the god of fire. In the game plot, it can be said that he died to protect Pandora.
Another person that the god of fire was concerned about was the goddess of love Aphrodite, even though this wife never fulfilled her duties as a wife and had cheated on him countless times.
"The conspiracy of the original gods has failed, and you will inevitably be liquidated by the big world. As the author, I may not be able to decide too much, but at least I can make the lives of some minor characters easier in the future."
The conditions offered by Lin You at this moment were extremely meager, but they might be the last straw for Hephaestus and Aphrodite.
After all, Vulcan helped Zeus control the switch of the cage, and Love participated in dividing Athena's divinity; although the couple were not the masterminds, they were heavily involved in the conspiracy, so it was natural that they were retaliated and liquidated afterwards.
Therefore, the writer is not afraid that the other party will not fall into the trap.
"Go to my workshop, I need the tools there." Hephaestus said in a muffled voice.
"You won't get into trouble, will you?"
"No. It's very remote, because Aphrodite has always disliked the sound of iron forging..." Hephaestus said as a matter of course. If judged by the standards of the real dimension, this Lord of Fire can be regarded as the best dog-licker.
I still remember that in the game, there was a portal connecting the residence of the God of Love and the prison cell where the God of Fire was imprisoned; after Kratos and the God of Love had a "battle", he turned around and went through the portal to see the God of Fire. Later, when the God of Fire was killed, Kratos, as the murderer, was teleported back to the God of Love, and it could happen again...
I don’t know what kind of mentality the game designer had when designing this process.
However, Lin You naturally had no chance to experience this process now; besides, a nine-year-old boy, even if he had the intention to commit a crime, did not have the ability to commit it.
They found their destination without any obstacles and drove Hephaestus and Daedalus in to work; Lin You sat bored at the door of the workshop waiting. In mythology, the bodies of gods are rare materials for making, and it is not easy to handle them, which requires patience.
As a result, before the workshop could get any results, an uninvited guest showed up outside the door.
A half-bald old man wearing a heavy cloak and with one right eye blind; his appearance and dress are so unique in the world of Olympus that the spear Gungnir in his hand is not so conspicuous.
"Odin." Lin You has never played any subsequent works in the God of War series, and only knows the final BOSS of this new series from some game videos.
"Ahaha, Writer, it seems your journey was not smooth. Why are you staying in such a remote place?"
This Odin gives people a very strange feeling. He and Zeus are both leaders of the same pantheon, both have the style of a feudal patriarch; both are also the kind of people who are deep-minded and far-sighted.
However, there are significant differences between the two images.
If Zeus is a majestic and solemn king, in line with the temperament and style of the king of gods in the eyes of the world, then the Odin in front of us is more like the godfather of a gangster family; compared with the lofty "king", the gang leader is naturally more down-to-earth and closer to people than gods.
This difference may be due to the fact that the development time is more than ten years apart, and the game industry has undergone tremendous changes in design concepts and market preferences.
"When I came here, I met Thor, the son you would stab to death in the future, but now he still cares about your whereabouts and safety." Lin You didn't have a good impression of Odin's behavior, and he didn't intend to make friends with him. "Ah, Thor; that's a good child." Odin laughed and said, "When he is obedient, he is the best child in the world."
"Yes, when the child is obedient, he is a good child. When he is disobedient, just kill him."
"How is that possible? Once we see through the truth of the world, this kind of thing will never happen again." Odin patted Lin You's shoulder to show his closeness. "Our fate is out of the control of the real dimension. What will happen in the future depends on you, writer, right?"
Lin You calmly moved to the side, keeping himself further away from the other person.
"When it comes to escaping the control of the real dimension, the gods of Olympus are truly free and unrestrained, aren't they? You came here alone, you didn't come here to study and learn from others' advanced experience, did you?"
"No, no, no, of course not. Those guys in Olympus are just a bunch of fools." Odin denied it flatly. "I came here to take advantage of this opportunity to see if I could get some benefits. Unfortunately, after walking around, I didn't get any chance."
Lin You just ignored the other person's words and didn't believe a word of it, but asked with a smile: "What did you see after walking around?"
"I saw a poor fool being driven crazy. When he tore the main god of the great world apart, the madness really frightened me! Fortunately, this story will end in Olympus and will not extend to the Nine Realms."
Lin You could tell that Odin was hinting at something.
Did this half-blind, half-bald old man come here specifically to test me?
"Haven't you already negotiated with the Asgard pantheon in the big world? There's no need to worry at all."
"Worry, of course not. I'm not one of those fools from Olympus."
"That's good; although I am not qualified to comment on the internal disputes of various pantheons, but as the author, I still hope that there will be fewer similar unexpected events, the fewer the better." Lin You's answer was not perfect, but he pretended to be crazy and stupid, and avoided the question.
Odin was a little disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted, but his face showed no sign of disappointment. He started a new topic: "What are you doing here? I think I saw the God of Fire go in just now?"
"Hephaestus has been in there for quite some time. He can't be seen just now, right?"
Lin You's way of directly killing the topic made Odin stunned for a long time, so much so that he had to use laughter to resolve the awkwardness.
"Hahaha... Well, I have been watching you; ever since you came to Mount Olympus. I saw you riding Pegasus up the mountain, and then nothing happened when you came down..."
Lin You then asked for the other person, "So you are very curious about what happened on the mountain? At the same time, you also want to know if there will be another chance...how should I put it, to get some benefits?"
"So, is there still a chance?" Having said this, Odin simply took off all his disguises, revealing his open-minded and profit-seeking "jianghu spirit".
Lin You did not answer directly, but stood on tiptoe and patted the other person's shoulder in return;
"Odin of the big world should have also received the news of the incident here. You might as well wait patiently."
