Chapter 49

The corridors of the Palace were without a doubt both beautiful and tacky.

The "Golden Palace". The name is appropriate for what it represents. The corridors are not much different from the rest of the castle. It's just boring. Every now and then Viego would see "Golden Statues" depicting Asgardians in armor, and he would see many bas-reliefs carved into the walls.

However, in this particular corridor that Viego, Frigga, and a group of Guardians were now heading through.

Viego had seen concrete events carved from the royal family's memories. Like Loki and Thor having fun, Frigga pregnant, Odin and Frigga possibly dating, and many more bas-reliefs of this type.

And despite the shoddy workmanship, at least these walls contain stories. Otherwise it would be a waste of time.

(Frigga)-What do you think, young warrior?

(Viego)-Too much gold color.

Viego said in a simple voice, rubbing his sore eyes from so much intense color.

Frigga, after Viego's answer, slightly covered her mouth with her hand. As is the etiquette of nobility, she gave a short laugh and smiled back, sending a warm smile in Viego's direction.

(Frigga)-I can't disagree with you. At first, the intensity of the colors bothered me a bit. However, over time, I fell in love with this place and this color was not a problem, but something pleasant. And you, young Viego. Since you will have your own lands, how will you decorate your palace?

Viego smiled amiably at the Queen of Asgard and, holding back his laughter, he replied.

(Viego)-It will I definitely keep the gold color to a minimum. hehe...

Frigga's mouth turned into a genuine smile and laughed briefly at Vi's pun. Then she asked.

(Frigga)-But how do you imagine this palace, your home?

(Viego)-If I'm being honest. I am thinking about many projects and so far I have not decided on a specific architectural style. Yes, for sure, I will try to have a large palette of colors in my castle, but with the dominance of black.

(Frigga)-Black?

(Viego)-I'm just planning to develop a new metal alloy that will perhaps outclass Uru metal in every way. And probably its color will be intensely black. And if the color of the metal turns out to be different, the black color goes well with many colors. And if metal really was like that, my lock would have added metaphorical meaning. That the castle and I possess a strength comparable to the hardest alloy in all nine worlds.

Frigga was really comfortable with Vie. And now she thought that Loki's relationship with him might have a positive effect on her child. But she herself noticed that Viego is not a simple man, but his pride, which is something really peculiar according to her.

Frigga surreptitiously saw Loki and Viego arrive in front of Odin. However, only Loki knelt properly before the king. However, Viego was different. Not even counting his peculiar legal case. Walterson should show respect to the Allfather. And he did. In the most surprising way for her. He did not pay tribute to him, but he showed the respect that is shown to a teacher. But not the king. And theoretically, under normal circumstances, the guards would have the right to force him to kneel properly. However, Odin himself allowed him to show respect in this way and admonished the guards in advance.

Today's level of insolence, however, has almost caused tragedies on the scale of the entire Pantheon. The loss of such a God, not only for the Nordic Pantheon. But also for development and general progress. It would be a real loss.

Frigg sensed that Odin was about to kill young Walterson. She created a last-minute barrier that blocked the bloodlust and magical pressure caused by Odin's wrath. She guessed the reason for such an act by her husband. And it wasn't even the requests themselves. But the very story of Odin and Frigga. Odin sacrificed much to save Asgard. And the mere fact that someone would gain the knowledge for which he had to sacrifice so much. She made the Allfather angry.

And the only reason Odin didn't send Vi home empty-handed. There is Frigg. She understood the situation, but she saw opportunities for a better and happier ending for her and her husband and her family. The mere possibility of restoring Odin's natural death filled her with joy. Because otherwise, Odin would be gone in less than half a century. And Asgard wasn't ready for that. That's why she decided to intervene and in effect, she convinced her husband to his decision.

Frigga didn't know what to think of Walterson. However, she saw potential in him and eagerly answered his questions about Odin's sleep chamber.

Viego after a short conversation with Frigga about interior design. Which, according to him, was a pleasant interaction. He entered the bedroom of the king and queen of Asgard. And there was still a peculiar smell in the air that Viego preferred to ignore for the moment.

And to be honest, Viego had a very simple plan for the moment. He carefully drew a plan for the construction of Odin's capsule in the newly purchased book. And after sketching the layout of the walls. He carefully described the locations of specific spells whose scrolls he had received directly from Frigga. Which he recorded in his ledger with her permission.

And honestly the spells were really complicated and there were exactly 12 in total. Exactly 6 spells for the body and 6 spells for the spirit and core.

Of which each single spell according to Frigg's classification. It was Ultimate level. Of which the simplest spell was "Mana Boost". It increased mana stabilization and passively doubled mana regeneration speed and increased mana density. The spell was intended to increase mana density in the capsule, not in Odin's body itself.

And the most complicated spell was the inner mana barrier spell. That surrounded Odin's core with a really powerful barrier that kept the pieces of Odin's core that had fallen away from the main core from dispersing and disappearing completely. And the accompanying passive core regeneration spell, which is really weak despite its level of advancement. After quite a while, it attaches the lost fragments to the main core.

However, the quality of this spell is really poor. Because the fragments reattached to the main core. After a certain period of time, they descend again and it is then required to visit this capsule again.

In addition, there are 10 spells that support the ones mentioned earlier. Which provide a general ability for those particular spells to work. Placing spells in the capsule is really simple, all spells have been cast in a specific place in the capsule. Right under Odin's back, at the height of his heart.

Just sketching and writing down the spells took 8 hours. Exactly until Odin and Frigga were ready to go to bed for matrimonial purposes. Luckily, Viego had finished at the last minute and he didn't have to wait and have this unpleasant conversation.

In the end, Odin gave Vii the core of possibly a dragon with Odin's Power within. And he said he has 5 days to complete the Artifact. And finally Odin added, "It's better for him not to let him down."
