The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1348 The Mystery of the Feast ([-])

Three days before the date of the banquet on the invitation, Schiller came to Asgard through the portal of the Holy of Holies, and stayed in the guest room of Asgard under the arrangement of the waiter.

The last time he came here, he soaked in the hot springs under the World Tree with Loki and Strange, and negotiated a deal with Odin about the Hall of Valor.

Coming to the guest room of Asgard again, Schiller's first impression is that the service here is much better. When I stayed here last night, it can be said that every day should not be done. There is no service staff in the empty Asgard. , had to call Rocky for a new towel.

This time, there are not only guards at the door, butlers in the corridor, and service bells on the table beside the bed. From this point of view, Loki is very effective in reforming the interior of Asgard.

Thinking of this, Schiller called both Loki and Strange, and made an appointment to take a hot spring together at night, and talk about the reform of Asgard by the way.

In the evening, Asgard's royal carriage drove Schiller to the World Tree, but one of the three people who had originally made an appointment disappeared.
Schiller changed his clothes for the hot spring, walked into the pool, looked at Strange not far away and said, "Where's the Rocky? Didn't he promise to come?"

"Don't mention it." Strange curled his lips and said, "He has a temporary business there, so he won't be here today...As usual, port wine?"

Schiller nodded, and Strange opened the wine bottle floating on the table above the hot spring water, Schiller shook his head and said, "You still bring your own wine, isn't it afraid that Thor will say you're hypocritical?"

"I really can't drink Asgard's wine." Strange pursed his lips and said, "They are all ale here, the taste of grain is too strong, and the alcohol content is too high, I can't drink it Concentrate on casting your magic."

"That's right." Schiller took the wine glass from Strange, and then asked, "What happened to Loki? Could it be something wrong with the wedding ceremony?"

"You should know that Asgard is reforming the military system." Strange asked, but in an affirmative tone. Loki had mentioned this to the two of them more than once.

There is more than one big triangle among the four powers of evil, but in general, Schiller, Loki and Strange are very close in matters related to Asgard and the wizarding world. There is no secret, everything will refer to the other party's opinion.

"Just a week ago, when Asgard just sent an invitation to Interstellar, His Majesty Thor abolished the position of Heimdall Rainbow Bridge Controller and sent him home to take gardening leave."

Schiller's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Heimdall was dismissed? What mistake did he make?"

"Thor's statement is that the Rainbow Bridge will undergo long-term maintenance. He understands that Heimdall has worked hard for so many years and has not made a big mistake. It is time to go home and take a rest."

"Isn't this a euphemism for retirement?" Schiller took a sip of his wine and said in surprise, "Thor has really grown up. In the past, he would never be able to do such a thing. The emperor is ruthless."

"But we all know that what he did was right. No king of any country can tolerate his wife's brother holding the nuclear bomb button. Even with Thor's force, he is not afraid of the Rainbow Bridge now. This is quite deadly."

Schiller nodded, and further analyzed: "Besides, Heimdall is still an old minister trusted by Odin. If you want to completely complete the change of kingship, abolishing the old minister is an indispensable step, and whether they are loyal to the new one. The king has nothing to do with it."

"The rule of a great king is inertial. The more powerful he is, the more so. Everyone is used to all orders coming from the father of the gods. Then when Thor issues certain orders, Odin's old minister When implemented, people still feel that Odin is exerting influence."

"There are no two masters in a country. Once people start to wonder who is ruling them, they will feel confused and hesitant, and will not immediately obey the authority as before. The biggest advantage of centralized power system is strong executive power. It will be weakened, which is what every king is unwilling to see."

Strange also took a sip of his wine, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, and said: "Especially, Thor has formulated various reform regulations, and now is the best time to implement reforms. If Odin's influence If it is too large, the reform will inevitably encounter resistance.”

"But my husband doesn't trust my brother, which will definitely make the future God Empress feel sad, so Frigga called Sif over to persuade him, and asked Loki to persuade Thor. You understand, quarrel between husband and wife Now, isn’t that how the two sides try to make peace?”

Schiller showed a clear expression, then shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "Fortunately, Thor's stay on the earth is short. If you said that if he fell in love with a human woman, what if he insisted on marrying her?" manage?"

"It's nothing." Strange shrugged and said, "How long can humans live? At worst, give Thor 100 years, and it will be a love affair that ends without a problem."

"Heimdall has gone home now?" Schiller asked again.

Strange nodded lightly and said: "The guards of Asgard are actually children from the families of the generals. Before I left, I heard from them that Sif's uncle was not happy and was complaining at home... What do you say?" Asgard too?"

"Asgard is originally the god system of the earth's lineage. Is there such a thing as nonsense in the history of the earth? As long as it is a country established by intelligent creatures, it will basically follow the development laws of historical dynasties. It is not surprising. "

Schiller took the fruit plate from Strange, then took a floating table from the side, put the fruit plate with grapes on it, then put the wine glass on it, and said: "But I think Thor Heimdall will not be retired just like this, apart from other things, Heimdall's strength is one of the best, besides him, it is even less safe for others to control the Rainbow Bridge."

Strange was a little surprised. He said, "Why do you make this inference? If Thor is optimistic about Heimdall, why do you want him to take gardening leave? Isn't this a sign of retirement?"

"Of course not." Schiller took a sip of his wine, smiled, and said, "Thor's real purpose is to let the family behind Sif make a decision, and to do everything possible to keep Heimdall's important position." , or let Heimdall back down, and the other members stay still?"

"Nobility is a problem that every feudal king has to face. Although Asgard does not have any decent nobles, there are also many meritorious veterans. They followed Odin to fight the world, and their influence is not small. Your children have been sent to an important position, isn't Sif?"

"There are so many goddesses in Asgard, how come Sif and Thor are childhood sweethearts? With so many brave warriors in Asgard, how come the four warriors of Asgard follow behind the prince every day and have a good relationship with him? Is it true? Is it just fate?"

Strange shook his head. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence would know that in any upper class of society, all chance encounters are carefully arranged, and there are not so many coincidences in the interpersonal relationships of the ruling class. They are all accumulated over generations. It's just the people who came down.

"The relatives of Sif and Heimdall will definitely feel that no number of low-level positions can compare to the position of the controller of the Rainbow Bridge. That is Asgard's top weapon. It has no military achievements in the non-war period. Naturally, it is still the case. position is more important.”

"Frigga will definitely convey this to Sif, and in the end Sif's family will definitely compromise and withdraw from those unimportant positions, just to let Heimdall return to a high position."

After listening to Schiller's analysis, Strange also nodded, and said: "This move is very beautiful, they want to keep Heimdall's position, but they applied for transfer, so I can't blame you." I don’t miss my old love for the mother’s family of the Empress Dowager.”

"But the question now is that Thor has just withdrawn Heimdall. If Sif's family makes concessions, will he let Heimdall take over again? Will this be a bit too much? , but it is easy to influence authority, is Thor so confident?"

"Thor must need a valid reason." Schiller turned the wine glass in his hand, thinking while saying, "It's easy to let Heimdall go back on vacation, whether it's Thor or Loki, they can actually hide Heimdall , pretending that a part of the Rainbow Bridge is faulty, saying that it needs a long-term maintenance, it will naturally give Heimdall a gardening leave."

"But if you want Heimdall to come back, you can't simply say that the Rainbow Bridge has been repaired. After all, you just said that it will be overhauled for a long time, and it was repaired all of a sudden. It would be a bit suspicious of you being a fool."

Schiller slowed down his speech, apparently analyzing Thor's state and psychology, and then brought himself into the new king, and then analyzed: "If I were Thor, and things have come to this point, I have to do it for you." Heimdall creates a reason to have to return to work."

"It's best if the situation is urgent, and no one else can stand up. Only Heimdall, who is the most familiar with the Rainbow Bridge, can turn the tide and operate the not so good Rainbow Bridge to protect the safety of Asgard."

Schiller's voice became softer and softer, but the fog around the hot spring became thicker and thicker. With the soft light of the World Tree floating in front of his eyes, Schiller standing in the banquet hall heard Thor speaking in a low tone. explain:
"The Queen of the Xi'a Empire died unfortunately, and the murderer is still in the Asgard. If he dares to attack here, he must rely on something, but the first task now is to ensure the safety of everyone, so that such a tragedy will not happen again."

The leaders of most of the surrounding civilizations felt a little chill in their backs, and only then did they realize that this murderer dared to kill in front of King Asgard, what else would he not dare to do?
If they returned to their room like this, they might become the next target, so whispers immediately sounded around them, and some races with not so strong force values ​​already felt a little panicked.

"But please don't worry. Asgard will thoroughly investigate the murderer and ensure your safety. Pass my order. Asgard will enter a state of emergency. All members of the Asgard Guard will take their positions. No one is allowed to leave their posts before the state is lifted. !"

"Sif, I'm really sorry. The queen's death is of great importance. The situation is urgent now. I can't leave here until the murderer is found out."

"I'm afraid, except for your brother, no one can guard the Rainbow Bridge. Unfortunately, his vacation is over... pass on Heimdall!"

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, this is his duty." Sif sincerely looked into Thor's eyes and said, "Heimdall will never disappoint you...me too."

Thor didn't speak any more, just took his fiancée's shoulders, hugged her into his arms, and then lightly kissed her on the forehead.
