Shadow of the Beautiful World

28. Answer

quack.

The raven Mu Ning flapped its wings and flew out of the Rainbow Bridge amidst the colorful streamers.

It circled twice around Heimdall, who was guarding the Rainbow Bridge, to say hello, and then flapped its wings and rushed towards the Golden Palace.

The world of Asgard is quite unique.

It is not spherical like the earth.

It has only one continent, and it hovers above the endless sea in a suspended posture.

The sea water escaped from all directions of the world into the stars, and flowed through several countries along the phantom of the World Tree.

All in all, the existence form of this world is beyond the imagination of the people on earth.

And the Golden Palace, the residence of the God King, is located in the center of this land.

In the magnificent palace group, Mu Ning crossed the squares guarded by the guards of the Golden Palace with ease. It flew along the most familiar route, and finally climbed over a window and landed on the head of the king's bed.

Well, it doesn't seem to come at the right time.

Odin seems to have just done something indescribable with Tianhou.

The two are hugging each other naked, enjoying the aftertaste.

Odin is indeed old, but for the Asgardians, it's okay to do these happy things.

He and the queen Frigga have a very good relationship, really very good.

It is absolutely no problem to describe it as being in love with each other.

Gah, boss.

Mu Ning covered his eyes with his wings, lest he see something he shouldn't see.

It bounced on the head of the bed, and it screamed to Odin:

It's a big deal!

Um?

Odin turned his head away, looking at the funny Mu Ning, the God King frowned.

The queen beside him glared at Mu Ning, then waved her finger. Under the flash of rune magic, she disappeared into the bedroom in a ray of light.

The God King sat up, put on a robe, and poured himself a glass of wine.

He is still a little weak.

After more than 7 months, he finally dispelled the strange power from the wound left by Merlin.

But the weakness caused by the injury will take some time to heal.

Odin stood in front of the window, looking at the land he ruled. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said to Mu Ning who flew on his shoulder:

You should be watching Thor from the earth. You flew back privately. You must have noticed something important.

So forget about the interruption this time, tell me, Mu Ning, what happened.

The raven stood on Odin's shoulder. It looked around furtively, then approached the ear of the king of gods, and said something.

puff

The fine wine in Odin's mouth spurted out.

The aroma of fine wine suddenly rolled over the window sill.

He turned his head in disbelief, looking at the raven on his shoulder.

Mu Ning nodded seriously to the boss.

Odin suddenly felt his head hurt again.

Seven war hammers?

The God King lost his interest in drinking, he threw the glass aside, and rubbed his forehead:

How come there are so many?

It is said that before the downfall of the big snake, a group of master blacksmiths from Nidaville were captured.

Munin said some old gossip, it said:

And after the big snake was killed by you, boss, we really didn't find the treasure house in the big snake's legend. From this point of view, maybe what Merlin said is true!

Before the big snake died, it said that the secret treasure it left behind may be the 8 fear hammers. The only existing Skadi war hammer has been destroyed by you, but

Mu Ning didn't finish, but Odin understood what his little bird meant.

He squinted his one eye, pondered for a moment, and said:

Did Merlin say, is there a way for him to find those 7 warhammers? After all, he is the only person who has been in contact with Kool in the past few thousand years.

He said he couldn't.

Mu Ning pecked at his feathers, and said helplessly:

Boss, don't forget that Merlin is not the real Sky Hammer.

He didn't give in to Kool, and it's impossible for Kool to tell him all the secrets. The relationship between them is just cooperation.

But he said he had a plan

Raven opened his mouth and made a vomiting motion.

Under Odin's slightly fragrant gaze, a spar the size of a pigeon egg was spit out.

Seeing his big brother holding the handkerchief between two fingers, and picking up the spar that exudes a strange smell, Mu Ning said with a smile:

There's no other way. If we want to keep a secret, we can only pass on the news like this. Don't be surprised, boss.

Odin said nothing.

After the spar was wiped clean, he held it in his hand.

Accompanied by a light sound, the spar was pinched and shattered, and a ray of information contained in it was also transmitted to Odin's mind.

The God King stood at the window like a statue.

He did not speak for a long time.

Mu Ning and others were a little anxious. It raised its head, looked at its boss, and called:

Boss? Boss! What did Merlin say?

A conspiracy.

The God King breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the Asgard God Realm in front of him, and said:

a war

He can use this to save his wife, and we can also use this to wipe out those who have different intentions. Most importantly, if it goes well, the big snake will never be a threat again.

However, although the plan is good, it is difficult for me to make up my mind.

Odin patted the window sill and threw the spar fragments in his palm into the air. He said:

Although the harvest is rich, the price is too great. Asgard will escape destruction, but he will suffer great disasters. He really deserves to be a conspirator whose origin makes it difficult to decide.

Don't tell anyone about this!

The God King lowered his head and told the big-mouthed Mu Ning, he said seriously:

Before I make up my mind, you go back to Midgard and act like nothing happened.

Oh, we know.

Mu Ning moved his wings and made a zipper movement on his mouth. It glanced at Odin and flapped its wings and flew out of the Golden Palace.

But a few minutes later, it flew back again.

Mu Ning landed on the window sill, looked at Odin who was sitting on the table with his back to it, and wrote something, it screamed:

Boss, we forgot one thing.

Merlin wants you to give him something.

Um?

Odin looked back at his bird, frowned and said:

What does he want?

He wants your blood, boss.

Mu Ning tilted his head and said:

He said one drop of blood was enough.

What does he want my blood for?

Odin asked suspiciously:

Didn't he tell you why?

No.

Mu Ning chirped and said:

We don't understand the magic of the people on Earth, maybe he is trying to steal your power? Or cast a spell or something?

Not too possible.

Odin says:

My power comes from the godhead, not from the blood. My blood is no different from that of other Asgardians. But it may be possible to cast a spell.

All right.

Mu Ning nodded, it flapped its wings and took off on the spot, it said to the God King:

Let's go and reject him now, we also think he's a little whimsical.

No, wait.

Odin called out to Mu Ning again.

The God King sat on a chair, he was thinking about something, after a few minutes, he picked up the letter opener on the table and raised his finger.

In the beating of the golden streamer, the blade slashed lightly.

A drop of golden blood appeared on Odin's skin, a fine arc of electricity flickered across it, and he put it in a small, crystal bottle.

take it.

Odin threw the bottle to Mu Ning, and he said without looking back:

Take it to Merlin.

Boss!

Mu Ning grabbed the bottle with his paws, and it said doubtfully:

Didn't you just say that

My Frigga will protect me. Even Merlin will find it difficult to curse me through the protection of the most powerful rune witch in God's Domain.

Odin picked up the pen again, and said softly:

What's more, it's far more sensible to give charcoal in a timely manner than icing on the cake. Merlin is not the kind of person who will ask for things easily and in this way, he owes me another favor.

And my instinct told me it was worth it, and it was an investment.

Go, stay in Midgard honestly, and wait for my news.

—

Why do you have to organize these things all of a sudden?

In the mysterious house, Merlin was waiting for the reply from the king of gods.

And in the hall, Xuan Lan is directing the ghost servants to put away some of the evil and deviant decorations in the hall.

Zatana, who had slept in the guest room, stood at the door, and asked Xuanlan curiously:

Is anyone coming?

Yes.

Xuanlan said to Zatanna:

Merlin invited a distinguished guest, they want to discuss some things, you stay in the room obediently for a while.

Who is it?

Miss Magician took a surprised look at Merlin who was sitting by the fireplace with his eyes closed and meditating. She whispered:

Is the battle so big?

As soon as Zatanna's voice fell, an orange spark appeared in the hall.

It is like a swaying candlelight, under Zatanna and Xuanlan's gaze, the candlelight stretches outwards to form a ray of light that burns and splashes sparks, and forms a circle in the rotation.

It was a weird magic circle with three eyes interlaced.

The light beats more and more violently, as if it is replicating itself, and in just a few seconds, it forms an extremely complex large magic circle composed of 9 rune circles.

Like a door connecting dimensions.

A woman in a white robe, with a yellow hood and holding a staff stepped into the hall of the mysterious house.

When she saw her, Zatana turned around and ran back into the room like a mouse seeing a cat, and closed the door.

Her heart was still beating violently.

Supreme mage, great man.

Miss Magician wiped the sweat that appeared on her forehead, she was indeed frightened.

She practiced mystical spells like this, and a spellcaster who often dealt with dangerous matte sea creatures could easily destroy the balance between dimensions, and she was originally the focus of Kama Taj's attention.

If there is any trouble, a battle mage will come to invite you to drink tea.

It is too late to hide on weekdays, but today, her lover took the initiative to invite the leader of Kama Taj, the supreme mage who suppressed countless dimensions, to come as a guest.

This is really scary.

welcome.

When the Supreme Mage appeared on time, Merlin stood up from the sofa, and he leaned slightly towards the Supreme Mage.

This action is not respectful.

But neither the Supreme Mage nor Merlin paid special attention to this etiquette.

In this world, there is a secret that only the two of them know.

The real Supreme Master has left this world.

What stays here now is just a not-so-powerful phantom

The Supreme Mage stepped forward and sat on the sofa opposite Merlin. She stretched out her hand to lift off the hood, revealing her bald head without a single hair.

Every time he saw this sister's special hairstyle, Merlin felt uncomfortable.

In the past, Master Gu Yi didn't dare to confront him face-to-face, but now facing this phantom left behind, Merlin is not so restrained.

He looked at Master Gu Yi in front of him peacefully, and he was waiting for her to speak.

Although I guessed that you would not give up so easily, I finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing you return to the world with my own eyes.

Master Gu Yi said softly:

Is there something for you to invite me this time?

I want to borrow the Sanctuary of New York.

Merlin said in a gentle tone:

Only for one day.

Is it because of the blood bone ritual?

Gu Yi raised her head, she looked at Merlin, and after a while, she nodded and said:

Well, to create a body that can carry the weight of your soul in this world, you really need a large magic power node.

The Holy of Holies can be lent to you, but Merlin, after the blood bone ceremony is completed, you cannot stay in this world.

Supreme Mage said:

This will cause dimensional confusion and expose my current situation

I understand.

Merlin picked up the teacup and said:

The ceremony is complete, and I will return to hell immediately. In addition, I also want to borrow your collection to process some magic materials.

Can.

The big sister without hair said quite straightforwardly:

I have borrowed the Holy of Holies, and I am not short of this thing. But Merlin

She also picked up the teacup, looked at Merlin, and said:

that thing

I haven't forgotten.

Merlin took a sip of his tea, and said seriously:

I've already found a young man with good talent, but it's about the position of the Supreme. I think it's better for me to find a few more candidates.

Don't worry, I will do what I promised.

Merlin paused, and he looked at the Supreme Mage in front of him, who was no different from before, as if he wanted to see her reality.

After a moment he said:

How long do you have?

Soon.

Master Gu Yi showed an open-minded smile, and she said:

It's only a few years.

Also, before she left, she left a message asking you to focus on the upcoming cosmic wonders, such as infinite gems.

Well, I don't know what it is, but I'll keep an eye out.

Merlin smiled.

He raised his teacup like a wine glass, and said to the supreme mage in front of him:

We probably won't see each other again in the future, so instead of wine with tea, I wish you the best of luck in the days to come.
