The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Hela arrived a little earlier than expected, but she still complied with the rule that all alien visitors must wear earth clothes in the pop-up announcement made by S.H.I.E.L.D.

The slender goddess of the underworld wears a slim black dark striped turtleneck sweater on her upper body, a classic Louis Vuitton patterned waistcoat, her lower body is a lotus-bud-style long skirt, and the matte leggings with a touch of fine velvet are new styles from Chanel this year. Her feet are pointed-toed high-heeled shoes with a slightly professional style.

The most striking thing is that she is wearing a gorgeous pure white mink fur shawl. The shawl is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides. When it is unfolded, it looks like a bamboo leaf, and the two ends of the bamboo leaf are decorated with gorgeous gemstone tassels.

Her black hair was tied behind her head in a semi-curved knot, with a ruby-studded curvy hairpin pinned underneath. Two strands of curly hair on her forehead hung on both sides of her cheeks, and her skin was morbidly pale.

"Don't look at me like that, I used to come to Earth to play when I was a child." Hela's voice was very hoarse. When she opened her mouth, the tone of her voice was first squeezed out as if she had been burned, and then the substantive tone seemed to be squeezed out with great difficulty, which made people want to shudder unconsciously.

"Very beautiful, ma'am." Nick praised sincerely, and then patted Thor's shoulder and said, "Look at them, every time you are matched with human clothes, it seems to kill you."

"Come on, every time I'm almost on the earth, I just remember your troublesome rules. I can only use magic to dress myself up casually." Thor said without complaint: "You should put the announcement at the gate of the solar system, at least at the gate of your dimension?"

"You want me to go back to Asgard? Interesting." Hela's tone was very flat, but the ending sounded a little higher.

"We are discussing this matter." Thor lowered his head and stamped the ground with his boots, and said, "I know this is a bit abrupt, but the troubles in Asgard have been happening one after another recently. It's not a big deal, but it has occupied too many people and too much energy."

"I never thought Asgard was such a complicated country before." Thor shook his head and frowned and said, "I never thought it was so difficult to rule Asgard."

It is actually quite rare to hear a ruler talk about the difficulties he has encountered. Most kings are used to showing their strength and perfection, showing a confident attitude that they have answers to any questions. Thor has done the same in the past.

But obviously, the recent situation in Asgard made him feel a little confused. As he said, the endless troubles are like gangrene, but there is not even an enemy to fight against in these things.

He can no longer raise his weapon and charge towards the enemy as before, and have a hearty kill. Instead, he has to sit in the government affairs hall all day to check the income and expenditure reports, stare at the construction progress, listen to the intelligence from the economy and society, and observe the movements and reactions of personnel in various departments after the restructuring.

In this mode of governance, Thor has no one to refer to. The civilization of Asgard has been fighting for the first half of his life, but he came to him. It seems that sociology and the interstellar situation have come. Wuzhi is completely different from Wenzhi, and Thor cannot learn without a teacher.

Of course, Haila has never practiced martial arts, but she has at least gone to the extreme of martial arts, so her opinions are still worthy of reference.

"At any time, there are many contradictions within Asgard. This country has never been simple." Hela's voice spread out, and she was more rational than expected: "The war eliminated this contradiction, because when expanding outward, everyone is busy competing for external interests."

"If you give up the road of war, you can only let them check and balance each other, and continue to consume in internal conflicts, so as to stabilize your rule."

At this time Nick said: "If there is only one interest group in a class and group, then they are destined to come to trouble you. If you split them into two, they will trouble each other. What you have to do is to change from dealing with the trouble they make you to constantly balancing the confrontation between the two parties."

"The problem Asgard is facing now is that Frigga withdrew too early. She and Sif didn't have any confrontation, so all the power was handed over to Sif, so the interest groups that originally obeyed Frigg's orders were busy making trouble for Sif."

"You mean, I should split them in two?"

Nick shook his head lightly and said, "You should build another team besides them, and then let them form a check and balance. That's why I advise you to find Hela. If Frigga can't play the leader of another group, then the eldest princess of Asgard will come."

Thor opened his eyes slightly, but Nick said calmly as usual: "There must be conservatives among them who are afraid of Hela and fall to Sif, and those who think that following Hela will have a better future will naturally unite around her."

"It's the same for Yu Luoji. Doesn't she have no followers? She is the only one, and everyone can choose to follow her or not. But if there is Hela, they can only choose to follow Luoji or Hela, because those who don't stand in line may be cleared by Hela."

"Then there will inevitably be a group of people who will stand with Luo Ji because they hate or fear Hela. Followers out of interest are much more stable than out of emotional needs."

Hela listened to Nick's narration like a bystander, and seemed quite interested. In the end, Nick concluded: "The country after the war is like a pool of stagnant water. Without external support, the hungry wolves will start to make trouble with their masters. You must introduce living water, let the people below bite each other, and let them solve their troubles in competition."

"Sounds very evil," Thor said, frowning.

"Power struggles are evil." Surprisingly, Steve said, "It's always been like this since ancient times, so I always avoid getting involved."

Hella's eyes fell on Steve's face, Steve frowned slightly, and then turned his head away. Captain America rarely made such a retreating gesture. He was honest and fearless when facing most people.

But Hella's eyes are really aggressive. She doesn't look like the slightly charming eyes of Natasha when she teased Steve, but a very pure scrutiny and even staring eyes, as if looking at a certain toy in the window, and the only message conveyed is "I'm interested, so I will get it".

Of course, Hella didn't really want to get Steve, she just seemed to be used to looking at men with such eyes, which was even more surprising considering that she was a royal princess in a completely traditional patriarchal society like Asgard.

The more he got in touch with Hela, the more Thor could understand why even Odin thought Hela was too extreme. She was a strange flower growing in a barren field, as if she was completely uneducated and domesticated by society, and she was not stared at by anyone. The wilder she was, the stronger she was.

"Luo Ji has been a little..." Thor took the initiative to bring up this topic, but he also knew that Hella and Luo Ji had some conflicts at the beginning, so he didn't know how to speak.

In the end, Sif tentatively said: "The love life seems to bother Luo Ji and Frigga a little bit. She seems to have confronted some parts of herself. Can you talk to her?"

To the surprise of both Thor and Sif, Hela nodded after thinking for a while. She agreed so happily, which made Thor a little suspicious. Now Thor's state is "there are always bad guys who want to hurt Luo Ji".

"Loki sent Gwen to Dr. Schiller, but she should go back to the hut to put down the things she bought, and you should be able to meet her there." Nick patted his chin in the direction of the lakeside hut and said.

As he said, when Hela stepped up the steps in front of the hut, she met Luo Ji who came out after putting away her things. Luo Ji was startled by her. If there was no wall behind her, she should have jumped to the other side of the lake.

Hela turned around, without looking at Luo Ji, but said to herself, "Let's go for a walk by the lake."

Luo Ji watched the back of her leaving, stood there in thought for a while, and followed her.

The two walked to the side of the reeds on Shizitan and stared at the endless lake. The heat of the sun caused a layer of mist to float above the thick ice, and the shadows of the distant mountains became more blue in the gradually darkening sky.

"Why didn't you choose to continue being a prince?" Hela asked.

Luo Ji smiled as if she knew she would ask such a question, and then said: "Because Frigga wanted a daughter, she didn't want to force me, but I can see that she is very happy to have a princess with her."

"Do you think it's because of me?"

Hella's question was too straightforward and to the point, causing Luo Ji to be silent for a while before she said: "Perhaps at first, she wanted to make up for your regrets, but in fact you are more like Odin, and I am more like her. What mother doesn't want a daughter who is exactly like herself?"

"But you feel that it is difficult to move forward, because being a woman of status in Asgard faces too many difficulties and too little gain."

Luo Ji pursed her lips and looked into the distance, and said: "I don't want to describe this too much. In fact, this is not the biggest difficulty I have encountered in my life. It's just that I am a little confused. It seems that you are all doing well, but I am not."

"Because you are still looking at things from a male perspective." Hella tilted her head slightly and lowered her eyes to look at Luo Ji. Hela was already tall, almost as tall as Thor, and Luo Ji was shorter when she became a woman, so there was a gap in height between the two of them.

"I don't understand." Luo Ji shook her head in confusion.

"Men don't have a natural reproductive function, so they will plant as many seeds as possible, chasing every female of the right age in their prime of life. Their primitive instincts are telling them that this will give them more opportunities to leave offspring."

Hela's tone was heavy, even a little dull, as if the cold wind near evening couldn't blow away, it just fell heavily on the ground and stuck into the soil.

"Women are on the contrary. We have the ability to reproduce ourselves, but we must be responsible for the safety of the reproductive period and the quality of the offspring, so we must find the strongest man among all men."

"Men are promiscuous, women are strong, the essence is the impulse to reproduce and urge us to do so. This is the primitive instinct that makes a civilization continue, and no one can criticize it."

"We all look for the best we can find, not the one that suits us best. They miss us, and we choose them, and we all follow this law."

"Sounds so... barbaric."

"Instincts are always barbaric, simple and straightforward, driven entirely by desire, which makes reproduction more efficient and civilization lasts longer."

Hella turned her head back, stared into the distance and said.

"Don't think that they are insulting you by affirming your reproductive value. When they stare at you as an object of reproduction, you should also follow this law to stare at them."

"When they consider whether you can give birth to offspring with their genes, you should also consider, can they provide good genes? Are there enough safe environments and abundant assets to ensure the safety and prosperity of you and your offspring?"

"If you don't have any, it proves that his best object is thousands of miles away from you. You can let go of this dreamy and unreal gaze and don't care about it."
