Chapter 947: Chapter 70 Cats Good, People Bad!_2
Luo En found the situation both amusing and frustrating, and as usual, a slap for each of the two home-wrecking maniacs calmed them down.
Although they were successfully separated, the intense fight just now reactivated the suppressed toxins in Thor, causing large patches of black on his body, his shoulders swollen like pig’s trotter, and his mouth corners bleeding.
Even so, the Thunder God found it amusing to revel in others’ misfortune.
Because Yemengarde was also not faring well, with cat fur torn all over the place, several scales burst open, oozing strands of Golden Blood.
"You sneak attack me once, and I sneak attack you once, that’s only fair!"
Thor, while coughing up blood, laughed heartily.
"Meow!"
Yemengarde was so angry that its teeth bared, its messy fur standing up like steel needles, wishing it could bite that detestable face a few more times.
"Bang! Bang!"
It was only when two iron fists, unable to bear it anymore, smashed onto their heads that this pair of archenemies finally quieted down thoroughly.
Of course, it was because they were knocked unconscious.
"First, give them the potion. Then, clean up this place."
Luo En tossed the Magic Potion to Brynhild and glanced at the messy hall, regretting inviting these two troublemakers to his old residence.
He needed to find a way to keep these two troublemakers in line.
Otherwise, they would start fighting upon meeting, and as their guardian, he would have to clean up their mess every day, which was utterly exhausting.
Moreover, both Thor and Yemengarde had not grown into their true peak forms yet, their Divine Power and toxins were also not fully matured.
Otherwise, Thor and Yemengarde would have ended up destroying each other.
By then, even if he wanted to intervene, it wouldn’t help; he would probably only be left to collect their bodies.
Soon, Brynhild cleaned up the aftermath, and, cooperating with Luo En, moved the drugged-up duo onto a newly rebuilt stone bed.
Once everything was settled, Luo En took out a jar of nectar, two horn cups, and some dried fruit and jerked meat from the storage room, inviting Brynhild to sit down and enjoy, as a reward for the Valkyrie’s hard work.
With nothing else to do, the two chatted around the fire pit.
From Brynhild’s mouth, Luo En came to know about her close relationship with Thor’s family and generally understood the current situation of the Valkyrie Corps.
According to Nordic Mythology, Valkyries are a vast and special group among goddesses, they charge across the battlefield leading the souls of the valiantly fallen into the Heroic Spirit Hall, to receive Baptism, becoming Odin’s reserve soldiers against Ragnarök,
There is no definite answer about their true number, and the mythology texts feature names of over 30 Valkyries at most.
According to Brynhild, those Valkyries whose True Names are mentioned are generally at the captain level.
From the founding of the Valkyrie Corps, the number of Valkyries with captain titles has ranged from a maximum of 16 to a minimum of 3, the reason the mythology texts mention over 30 Valkyrie names is because Valkyries must maintain chastity, being pure virgins to serve.
Once they marry, or due to accidents lose their virginity, they will lose their identity as a Valkyrie, and thus resign from the Valkyrie Corps.
Sif, Thor’s wife, is one such example.
Additionally, situations like heroic death in battle and ageing out also see Valkyries being replaced by successors.
Currently, the Valkyrie Corps still has nine squads, each led by a Valkyrie Captain.
They are "Shaker" and "Thunderer" Herest, "Strong One" Slude, "Shield Breaker" Landigres, "Gun Charge" Hild, "Moment of the Sword" Audlinde, "Holy Relics" Regilifu, "Magic Holder" Gundar, "Military Guardian" Alwette, and "Weapon Collector" Helrock.
Listening to this, Luo En asked, puzzled:
"Strange, why isn’t your name among the nine Valkyrie Captains?"
Brynhild gave a bashful smile, lowering her head:
"I’m not in the sequence of captains, but at a higher level; this generation of Valkyries were all trained by me..."
Actually, due to her seniority, strong abilities, and being Odin’s biological daughter, Brynhild is deeply trusted by Valkyrie King Freya.
As Asgard had been at peace for a long time, and Freya transitioned from War God to God of Love, increasingly neglecting military matters, thus Brynhild often took over handling all the affairs of the Valkyrie Corps for Freya, including training newcomers, promoting team members, assigning tasks, and so on.
And her name symbolizes — "Battle" and "Queen"!
After listening to Brynhild explain the situation, Luo En suddenly realized and couldn’t help but silently criticize the old acquaintance Freya.
That woman always complained to him about shouldering the entire Valkyrie Corps alone after his departure, but it turned out she was just a shirker, leaving all the troublesome matters to her subordinates like Brynhild.
"These years, you’ve really had it tough."
Luo En personally filled a cup of nectar for Brynhild as a token of his gratitude.
In essence, managing the troubles of the Valkyrie Corps was his responsibility as the leader, and in a way, Brynhild was alleviating his worries, naturally deserving a toast from him.
Seeing her superior personally pour her a drink, Brynhild was somewhat flattered and hurriedly accepted.
