The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1345 The Mystery of the Feast ([-])

"Your Highness Haila, I have heard about your name for a long time. I really didn't expect to see you here. I wonder if I have the honor to chat with you?"

Stark, who was wearing a tuxedo, raised his glass to Hela and asked with a smile.

Hella looked at Stark from beginning to end without any scruples. For a male striker, such behavior can be said to be quite offensive.

This is also telling the chatter, don't treat me as the kind of courtesan who is easy to hook up, because only when you have been in the position of examiner for a long time, you will get used to looking at everyone with such eyes.

When Hela's eyes fell on those brown eyes, she paused for a moment, and said his name in a hoarse voice: "... Stark."

This is not a very famous name, and it is only circulated in a very small circle. Of course, this circle also includes Asgard. When Hela called his name, Stark knew that Hela would appear here, and he must be here. It was Loki's plan, and the two of them may have been in touch.

If it is inferred from this, it is normal. The relationship between Hela and Odin is very bad. It can even be said that they regard each other as enemies. .

But Hella and Loki hardly have any conflicts, or rather they are sympathetic to each other.

Hela was even more unlucky. She had an inexperienced and bad-tempered father, who didn't know how to teach, and who didn't know how to learn. When the two inexperienced novices met together, they would both lose, but in the end The consequences were borne by Hella herself.

That being the case, Hela and Loki have the possibility to cooperate. Perhaps by now, Hela and Thor can also reconcile. There is room for the rest of the royal family to survive.

This information quickly flowed through Stark's mind, so he became more confident in the next conversation. He nodded and said calmly: "Yes, it's me. I didn't expect Your Highness to have heard of my name. .”

"Steel Demon God..." Hela slightly raised her eyelids, and said, "I felt that unusual aura when you were promoted for the first time. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Stark froze for a moment. He didn't expect Hela to be so straightforward, but soon he realized that everyone said that Hela and Odin were the most similar, and as the representative of Asgardian's impatience, , Odin never liked to talk nonsense with people, and went straight to the point from the very beginning.

"I do have something I would like to consult with Her Highness Hela, but..." Stark paused, and said, "I don't want others to know what we talked about today, including your brothers and sisters who are related by blood. , or ruler of Asgard."

Hella frowned slightly, but then she looked into Stark's eyes and said, "Before you ask me a question, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever fought Thor?"

Stark's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Hela to ask him this question, so he said, "We're friends, so of course we didn't."

"Who is stronger between you and him?"

Stark opened his mouth and closed it again. He sighed through his nose and thought, it's a good thing Loki wasn't Odin's own.

"We haven't compared, in fact, we don't need to."

"Then it's impossible for me to promise you not to disclose our conversation to Thor, because I may not be able to beat him, and if you can't prove that you can beat him, then I can't hide it for you."

Stark paused while drinking, and sighed in his heart. Hela and Odin are really similar. The surface is rough and informal, but it is straightforward and not offensive.

"Okay, let me take a step back, you can't tell Rocky what we talked about today."

"Are you calling Thor stupid?"

Stark was helpless.

"But it's okay, I think so too." Hela shook her head and said, "He's not good at understanding these complicated hints, and Loki is just the opposite of him. Perhaps two people are responsible for two aspects, which is Asgard The real way out, and Odin has spent thousands of years without trying to understand this."

Stark didn't know whether he should go along with Hela and complain about the father of the gods' education methods.

Odin's educational failure is strange because the three children represent three different failure routes, perfectly excluding the correct answer, and failing with bells and whistles.

"It can be said that if there is no external interference, Asgard's tragedy is doomed." Hella's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a fact that had already been established. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "And his biggest The mistake is to underestimate Loki, thinking that this little prince who is not from the Asa clan and who has been weak and sick since he was a child can't make any big noises."

"Although I don't know who turned Asgard's situation around, it can be said that without this mastermind, Odin would sooner or later have bad luck because of Loki."

Stark couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and gave Hela a higher look. He didn't expect that the eldest princess who was imprisoned in the kingdom of death would have such a strategic vision.

However, it would be normal to see her as a female version of Odin, and Hela wasn't inferior to the stupid. In the final analysis, Odin was too powerful at the time.

Odin said that Hela was blinded by the desire to destroy and lost her mind, but history is also written by the victors. No one knows what happened between the father and daughter back then.

Stark was a little more confident, so he said directly: "That's right, I wanted to hide it from Loki, because he is too smart, and I don't want people to know the intention of my actions now, because it may scare the snake. "

"What exactly do you want to do?" Hela frowned and looked at Stark. From the beginning to the end, there were very few people she couldn't see through to the eldest princess, but this Stark in front of her was one of them.

"No matter what you want to do, I don't want to participate." Hela pursed her lips, turned her head aside, showing a defiance, and said, "If Loki didn't insist on me coming, I wouldn't do it either." Will appear here, I have no interest in the future of Asgard."

"Not for Ragnarok either?"

Hela's fingers stiffened for a moment, Stark took a step forward to close the distance between the two, looked into Hela's eyes and said, "Now your only knot is Ragnarok. In the prophecy, you He is the one who brought destruction to Asgard, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for you to beat Thor, so you feel confused."

"Is Ragnarok really necessary to come? Is your existence really meaningful? Should you follow the prophecy or resist it?"

"Stop talking." There was a hint of annoyance in Hella's tone, she turned her head a little bit further, and said, "Say it straight, what do you want?"

"I just want to ask about the origin of the Aesir Protoss. I know that Loki is not an Aesir Protoss, and Thor is not clear about this issue. To be more specific...I want to know about the World Tree."

Hella narrowed her eyes, turned her head back to look at Stark and said, "Human, do you really know what you're talking about?"

"Even if the twilight of the gods is destined to come, the Asa protoss will die, and it is impossible for human beings to benefit from the World Tree. Don't be too greedy."

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Stark shook his head and said, "I didn't want to wait for the gods to die, and then take away your resources. Human beings haven't developed to that point yet. I hope Ragnarok doesn't come more than you do."

"But I heard that human beings have developed very rapidly in recent years..." Hela said hesitantly. She heard these things from Loki, but she didn't see it with her own eyes. She thought Stark was Got the idea of ​​World Tree Energy.

During the development of civilization, there is a period of shortage of energy resources. Hela thought that human beings had reached this period, and wanted to wait for the twilight of the gods to plunder the energy of the World Tree.

"Then what do you want to know?" Hela asked again.

"I want to know, if the World Tree is a tree, then who planted this tree? How did it grow up? How did it hold up the nine kingdoms? When did it grow and when did it wither? What's special about it?"

Stark's series of questions made Hela stunned. The eldest princess was silent for a long time, and then said:

"I seem to know what you're going to ask, but I'm afraid I can't answer you. All Asgardians' knowledge about the World Tree is more like legends than they really know the truth."

"Even if your power comes from the World Tree?"

Hela nodded and said: "Divine power is our innate talent. The protoss are all intuitive animals. We master this power but don't go to the bottom of its source. We hope that the power will be stronger and the efficiency of use will be higher. Everything we have Technology is also developed around this.”

"As for studying history back to the source... Do you think the warriors in Asgard look like historians? We don't care about the past, we only want a stronger future."

Listening to Hella's words, Stark frowned. He really couldn't imagine how there would be such a huge secret at the door of a nation that didn't study it?

"But..." Hela suddenly changed the subject, and said while thinking: "I have thought about this question in the past few years in the kingdom of death. I was mainly thinking about the prophecy of Ragnarok. Where did he get this prophecy, and no one knows why he believed it so deeply."

"But I know him very well. I think this is probably a signal from the World Tree to him, but the World Tree has no wisdom, so how did Odin realize this prophecy through the World Tree?"

"I think maybe he discovered some clues just by observing the World Tree or feeling the connection between them. This prophecy may not have a specific inscription, but Odin's own discovery."

Stark's face became serious, but Hella showed a smile that was close to a sneer. She looked at Stark and said, "You want to study the truth of the World Tree? Why?"

Stark covered his mouth with a wine glass, then raised his eyelids, looked at Hella from above his eyes and said, "I want to do more than this, and obviously, Your Highness, you are also somewhat interested in this."

Hela's face remained unchanged, she just lifted her long hair around her ears to expose her ears, looked at Stark and said, "So, do you want to invite me to a dance?"

"Can I have such an honor, Your Highness?"

"Of course, Your Majesty the Steel Demon God."
