Chapter 284 Riots in Vanaheim (please order the full version!)
After breakfast, Russell, led by Luna, walked directly towards the library of the Golden Palace.
According to Luna, the library in the Golden Palace is divided into two.
One is the royal library that only members of the royal family can browse, and the other is a public library open to the public.
In terms of the number of books collected, the collection of books in the royal library is much smaller, and the area is also much smaller.
But in contrast, the collection of books in the royal library, without exception, are all precious collections, and there are even some unique books and top-secret collections involving the secrets of Asgard and the universe.
As for the public library, judging from the name, it is a library open to the public, but in fact, not many people are qualified to enter the public library to borrow and browse the collection of books.
For example, lower-level royal guards and royal maids such as Luna are not eligible to enter the public library to borrow or browse the collection of books.
From this point of view, Asgard is obviously inferior to Kama Taj.
At Kamal Taj, knowledge is shared.
Even if it is the collection of Ancient One, as long as you become an official mage of Kama Taj, you can still borrow it.
Although some intimacy had occurred last night, Luna, who was leading the way, still did not dare to walk side by side with Russell, and was slightly behind him by half a meter.
Russell didn't say anything about Luna's idea of superiority and inferiority that seemed to have become instinctive.
After seeing Luna's reaction when she got up this morning, he had completely given up on treating Luna and others with the etiquette on earth.
In his opinion, giving Luna respect is a normal thing.
But the problem is, Luna doesn't think so.
If he was too polite, Luna would feel like she had done something wrong.
After walking inside the magnificent Golden Palace for a while, Russell finally arrived at the public library of the Golden Palace, which is open to the public.
Arriving at the door of the public library, Luna stopped and said respectfully to Russell: "Sir, the public library is here."
"Um!"
After hearing Luna's words, Russell replied casually.
Then, we walked straight into the Golden Palace Public Library, which is no smaller than the New York Public Library, the largest municipal public library in the United States.
Although the public library of the Golden Palace is large, there are not many people inside.
To be precise, after entering the public library, Russell did not see even a single reader except for the maids responsible for cleaning and serving.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
Not many Asgardians have access to public libraries.
Except for Loki, who likes to read and read books, most Asgardians have no habit of reading.
More importantly, in martial Asgard, training combat skills is much more important than reading books.
Rather than reading books and studying in public libraries, Asgardians prefer to learn combat skills through blood and sweat in battle.
After scanning the rather exaggeratedly large library, Russell went straight to the service desk and asked the maid inside: "I would like to borrow a collection of books about divine power."
"Okay, sir, all the books related to divine power are here..."
The maid in white maid uniform said quickly.
In order to make it easier for Russell to search, the maid even offered to take Russell there.
Although the maid in front of him was very enthusiastic, Russell rejected her kindness and walked alone towards the book collection area where books related to divine power were placed.
After arriving at the relevant book collection area, he quickly glanced around the bookshelves.
Then, I selected a few books from them.
"Basic Principles and Introduction to Divine Power", "Appearance and Inherence of Divine Power", "Pure Theory of Divine Power", "Origin of the First Divine Power", "Analysis of Divine Power: Energy and Transformation"
After taking out these five magical books, which were no thicker than bricks, Russell took them to the reading room next to them.
I love learning!
Learning makes people progress!
After muttering a few words in his mind, Russell first opened "Basic Principles and Introduction to Divine Power" and quickly browsed it using the "photographic memory" endowed by the Kryptonian constitution.
He planned to learn these magical books according to the method of learning magic before.
First memorize the entire book completely, and then take time to slowly understand and digest it.
For ordinary people, this method of memorizing by rote and then digesting and understanding is not a good learning method.
But for Russell, who has a super memory, this is the most efficient method.
In less than ten minutes, he had completely memorized the "Basic Principles and Introduction to Divine Power" in front of him.
Then, he picked up "The Appearance and Innerness of Divine Power" and started the second round of "rote learning".
Time passes little by little.
After spending almost an hour memorizing all five large magical books in front of him, Russell took them back to the book collection area and began to select the second batch of magical books that required "rote memorization".
Compared with ordinary people, his memory efficiency is already very high.
But if he wanted to memorize all the books related to divine power in a short period of time, it would still take a lot of time.
There are thousands of books related to divine power in this library area, and most of them are tomes thicker than bricks.
It would take him at least a week to read through the magical books in this library area.
As for thoroughly understanding and digesting these rote memorized contents, it would take him at least several months or even years.
For Asgardians whose average life span can reach five thousand years, whether it is a few months or a few years, it is not a long time.
But for Russell as a "human", this time is not short at all.
Russell stayed in the library all morning, memorizing the selected magical books.
If Thor hadn't suddenly brought the Three Warriors of Asgard to the library, he wouldn't have even minded staying in the library for a few days.
With his current physique, not eating, drinking or sleeping for several days would not have any impact on him at all.
"Let's see it later. Father asked us to go to his study."
Thor first glanced at the magical books piled up like a mountain by Russell on the table, and then spoke slowly.
"good!"
Russell closed the book in front of him and said quickly.
Just when he was about to put these books back into the collection area himself, Saul continued: "Just put them here, and someone will take care of them."
After hearing what Sol said, Russell nodded.
Then, he followed Sol and left the library.
After arriving at the library door, Russell said to the maid Luna who had been waiting by the door: "You go back to the palace first!"
"Okay, my lord!"
After bowing to Russell, Sol and others, Luna walked towards Russell's bedroom.
After seeing Luna's slightly unnatural walking posture, Sol suddenly raised his right hand and patted Russell's shoulder hard.
"It seems you had a good time last night!"
Although Sol's words came out of nowhere, Russell understood his true meaning in an instant.
sure!
He is worthy of being the great prince of Asgard!
His taste is no worse than that of an experienced tea connoisseur like him!
"It's okay, but it doesn't taste like anything!"
Russell said with a smile.
After hearing his answer, Thor smiled and shook his head, then took the lead towards Odin's study.
More than ten minutes later.
Odin's study.
Today, Odin was still wearing his regular clothes, sitting behind his desk with a calm expression, and looked at Russell and Thor.
"There has been some minor commotion in the camp in Vanahem. You two should take some people over to deal with it."
Odin said casually.
"Okay, Father!"
"Okay, Your Majesty!"
Sol and Russell replied at the same time.
After giving instructions to the two of them, Odin said nothing more and waved at them, asking them to leave the study.
Although Odin didn't give any details and just ordered the two of them to go on a trip, for a king, such an order was enough.
The superior only needs to state the request simply. As for how to complete it, that is what the people below should figure out.
After coming out of Odin's study, Thor took Russell to his study.
His study was not very far from Odin's study. Within a few minutes, they arrived at Thor's study, which was one size smaller than Odin's study.
"Sit anywhere!"
Sol pointed to the reception area in the study and said.
Russell, the Three Warriors of Immortal Palace and others did not speak, and just found a seat and sat down.
When they all sat down, Saul picked up a few letters from the desk, came to Russell and others, and handed the letters to them.
"This is a letter sent from the frontline camp in Vanaheim today. Please read it first."
After saying that, Sol walked towards the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of spirits from it.
After receiving the letter from Sol, Russell quickly browsed it.
Most of the Asgardians live in Asgard, but there are still Asgardian camps and gathering places in Vanaheim, the country of the Vanir Protoss.
Among the Nine Realms, Vanaheim is most similar to Asgard, and the Vanir Protoss is also most similar to the Asgardians.
Other countries, such as Jotunheim, the country of the Frost Giants, and Muspelheim, the country of the Fire Giants, are not very suitable for Asgardians to survive.
Of course, if you insist on surviving, you can survive.
However, in order not to irritate the Frost Giants and Fire Giants, Asgard did not set up front-line camps in places such as Jotunheim and Muspelheim.
In fact, except for Vanaheim, Asgard has no front-line camps in other countries, including Earth.
As for why Vanaheim is so special, the reason is very simple, because from a certain perspective, the Vanna Protoss and the Asgardians are old enemies.
Unlike Jotunheim and Muspelheim, which have already signed a peace agreement, Vanaheim has not signed a peace agreement with Asgard so far, and minor conflicts will break out between the two sides from time to time.
Although it did not reach the point of national war, the relationship between the two parties was not much better.
There wasn't much content in the letter. Russell just glanced at it and read all the content in the letter.
"What are you going to do?"
After handing the letter to the Three Warriors of Asgard and others, Russell said to Thor.
"It's very simple. You and I will personally lead a team there to deal with it."
"If nothing else happens, it will be resolved in a few days."
Sol said casually.
"you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, this is not the first time a riot has broken out in Vanaheim. Believe me, I have rich experience in quelling chaos."
Thor first drank the strong liquor in the glass, and then said confidently.
"In that case, let's take a trip."
Russell didn't mind a trip to Vanaheim, and even had some small expectations.
This kind of anticipation is like traveling to a place you have never been to.
Although he went to Vanaheim this time, most likely to kill people, this did not affect his mood.
"I'll call in the troops later. Take a look and see if there's anything else you need to prepare."
Sol silently reminded Russell.
Although he just said something unexpected and it would be over in a few days, no one could tell how long he would stay in Vanaheim this time.
If things don't go well, it's not impossible to stay for ten days, half a month or even half a year.
After all, the Vanir are a race not much weaker than the Asgardians.
If the Vanir Protoss is too bad, they are not qualified to be Asgard's old enemy.
“Can I borrow books from the public library?”
Russell thought for a moment and said to Saul.
"Can!"
Sol replied silently.
"Okay, then I'll bring some books."
After casually chatting with Sol about what happened after going to Vanaheim, Russell left Sol's study and returned to the public library.
He just told Saul that he was going to bring some books with him.
However, in fact, he borrowed several bookshelves directly from the library.
Although there are a lot of borrowed books, for him with system space, this is not a problem at all.
I don't know if he is overthinking it, but Russell always feels that going to Vanaheim to quell the riot this time is not that simple.
If it was as simple as Thor said, there was no need for Odin to let them go together.
More importantly, it was not just him and Thor who went to Vanaheim this time, but also the three warriors of Asgard, and Queen Frigga's future wife Sif prepared for Thor.
When setting off for the Rainbow Bridge Hall, Russell met Sif, who didn't play many roles in the movie universe, but had an "emotional line" with Thor.
Sif has beautiful long blond hair, a good face, a curvy figure, and wears close-fitting silver-white armor.
However, after seeing Sif, the first thing that caught his eye was not Sif's appearance and figure, but the long sword Sif was wearing.
The silver-white long sword in Sif's hand looks no different from other long swords, except that its shape is more refined.
But on the long sword, Russell felt an extremely obvious enchantment aura.
After sensing the enchanted aura on the long sword, some information about Sif quickly flashed through his mind.
He didn't know what the long sword in Sif's hand was called.
However, he knew that the person who enchanted Sif's sword was none other than Odin, the father of the gods.
After being enchanted by Odin, Sif's long sword can not only attack and defend like an ordinary long sword, but can also use a special swing method to open a space channel and teleport her to her destination, such as letting him in Asgar.
Come and go between Germany and the earth at will.
From this point of view, the long sword in Sif's hand is somewhat similar to the "Rainbow Bridge Sword" Bultsteel in her brother Heimdall's hand that can open the Rainbow Bridge.
In addition, like Heimdall, Sif also possesses powerful unarmed combat skills and extraordinary swordsmanship.
In terms of melee combat ability, among the many goddesses in Asgard, Sif's combat ability can be ranked in the top three, second only to the Valkyrie.
