Chapter 1009: Chapter 92 So, shall we pray?_3
Hearing the cue, Scouty immediately broke into a smile, cracking her knuckles and dashing out of the hall to look for Slude and the other two defeated subordinates.
Seeing this, Luo En hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You guys, keep an eye on her."
Urd and Belldandy immediately took the orders and went after their mischievous younger sister Scouty, to prevent her from stirring up any more trouble on a whim.
Watching the Norn Three Goddesses depart, Freya stepped forward and rolled her eyes coquettishly:
"You disregard the three I sent you and insist on having clandestine affairs? What’s this bad habit about?"
"What secret affairs? I’ve brought them in to train these Valkyries and boost the combat power of the Valkyrie Corps," Luo En retorted with an annoyed huff.
"Aren’t the Nine Realms quite peaceful recently? Why increase combat power?" After a short muse, Freya seemed to suddenly realize something and looked at Luo En in horror.
Seeing Freya’s astonished expression, Luo En quickly explained:
"I’m interested in that Divine Era which you come from."
"Ireland-Celtic?"
"Yeah, I might find some things I need there."
After hearing this sincere response, Freya slightly relaxed but still felt some worry:
"It is a complete Divine Era after all, not an easy adversary."
"That’s why we need to prepare in advance."
Luo En smiled casually, changing the subject,
"Let’s not talk about this, I’ve brought you a gift from my return this time, see if you like it."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from the Magic Circle Diagram and slowly opened it, revealing an exquisitely beautiful gold necklace.
It was like the most dazzling gold light at the edge of the sky at dawn, and like the brightest star in the profound night sky, condensing all the brilliance and fantasy of the world.
The moment she laid eyes on it, Freya was almost transfixed until Luo En’s reminder brought her back, and she lightly touched it with her hand.
This gold necklace was undoubtedly a beautiful encounter of time and craftsmanship, each link and clasp meticulously crafted by the hands of the finest Dwarf Craftsmen with endless patience and exquisite skill. The granules were closely interconnected yet independent, much like the arrangement of stars in the universe, orderly yet filled with infinite possibilities, each shimmering brilliantly as light and shadow interplayed.
The centerpiece pendant was the soul of the piece—a diamond tempered through thousands of processes, like the heart of the universe, containing endless mysteries and power. Bathed in light, it burst forth with rainbow-like splendor, and every turn was like stars whispering from the depths of the cosmos, narrating ancient and mysterious tales.
"I’ve searched through the treasures of the Dwarf Palace but couldn’t find a diamond as big as the Aken Treasure Diamond, so I had to settle for a slightly lesser one for now."
"It’s beautiful!"
"If you like it, shall I help you wear it?"
Hearing the whisper beside her ear, Freya was momentarily stunned, then her face bloomed into a stunningly beautiful smile, and she gently lifted her long hair from the back of her head, revealing her slender jade neck and delicate collarbone.
Luo En picked up the gold necklace from the box, designed by himself and meticulously crafted by Dwarf Craftsmen, and gently fastened it around Freya’s neck.
The necklace gently encircled her neck, like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, warm and potent, accentuating the wearer’s aura and making the Nordic Goddess of Love even more ravishing under the sunset, leaving Luo En slightly spellbound.
Of course, it might also be due to the Curse and Divinity enhancing the Power of Love and Desire taking effect. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
After all, he went to great lengths to fulfill his promise to craft this set of jewelry for Freya, not just for its beauty, but practicality was also a requirement.
"Ahem, the gift has been delivered, perhaps you should head back and rest early too..."
"What’s the rush?"
Freya gave Luo En, who seemed intent on sending her away, a glare and commanded the Valkyries guarding inside the hall,
"Everyone leave, I need to report to Lord Loki alone."
Upon hearing this righteous command, the Valkyries retreated like the tide and considerately closed the door behind them.
Once the surroundings were emptied of people, Freya’s true nature was revealed. Her seductive eyes swirled like spring water, her pink tongue lightly licked her dry lips, and she took leisurely steps toward Luo En, her clothes dropping one by one, cooling her body.
Ever since she became the Goddess of Love and tasted the Forbidden Fruit, her desires for mating and reproduction surged incessantly.
This is an inevitable problem for those who hold the Power of Love and Desire. This is why most mythologies portray the God of Love as promiscuous and having insatiable needs.
Now, with the temptation right before her eyes, Freya, who had been pretending to be decent in front of the Valkyries, could no longer restrain herself.
"You treat me badly in return for my gift? Eating what you take immediately."
Luo En complained while pointing at the statue behind him which bore his exact likeness, and reminded irritably,
"Behave yourself, this is my Temple! And there are a bunch of Valkyries guarding outside!"
However, the more Luo En resisted, the more excited Freya became:
"Then, respected God of Fire and Deceit, I am sinful, I repent, and I will pray earnestly to you, please purify my tainted spirit!"
The Goddess who governs love and beauty knelt, hands clasped in prayer, lips and teeth moving together, in a long and devout prayer to the Deity and the statue.
The next day, the doors of the Temple creaked open.
Luo En walked out of the grand hall with a complex expression and commanded the Valkyries on each side:
"Freya just finished reporting her work and is a bit tired; she needs to rest for a couple of days. Stay here and make sure no one disturbs her."
Sleep for two days after reporting work?
A few Valkyries stopped themselves from speaking, seemingly a bit gloomy.
Peering through the door gap, Luo En looked at the exquisite figure curled up in the corner sleeping, and couldn’t help but sigh gloomily, mentally giving his eight-character critique of Freya:
——Mediocre skills, a disgrace to the God of Love!
After a night of... indulgence, she might be content, but he was left fuming.
Forget it, I’ll find something else to occupy myself with.
Shortly after, Luo En glanced at the surrounding Valkyries and noticed their odd expressions, so he frowned and asked:
"What’s wrong with you all?"
The faces of several Valkyries stiffened slightly, and they reluctantly revealed the reason under Luo En’s scrutinizing gaze.
Just yesterday, a newcomer named Skulde single-handedly defeated nine Valkyrie Captains and even arrogantly declared:
"Is there no one else in the Valkyrie Corps? Send someone capable!"
So, the irate nine Valkyrie Captains, seeking to regain their honor, were rallying support from others.
Ordinarily, Freya would undoubtedly be the best candidate to respond, but knowing that Freya was resting, the Valkyries had to abandon the idea and look elsewhere.
Watching the Valkyrie Captains leave dejectedly seeking help, Luo En shook his head, picked up the Yemengarde cat, and headed to the home of Thunder God Thor.
Not to see his cheap brother who was beaten by their father till he couldn’t get out of bed.
He had promised Yemengarde that once he helped him track down the Norn Three Goddesses, he’d treat them to roast whole sheep.
And the ingredients, naturally, were to be those two divine rams pulled by Thor’s chariot.
