Shadow of the Beautiful World

Humanity's first official ambassadors to New Asgard get drunk at a Golden Palace banquet.

They didn't want to either, but these Asgardians were too enthusiastic, and too drinkable.

Official visit work can wait until after sobering up.

Accompanied by the guards of the Golden Palace, many reporters accompanying the ambassadors are visiting this legendary land. They will use their own cameras to record the daily life of the Asgardians.

There are also many programs similar to mystery.

Of course, not all reporters have the same internal relationship as Clark and the others, and can directly enter the Golden Palace to shoot. Most of them are still applying for access rights. It is foreseeable that most of them will not be allowed to interview .

The Asgardians are not without friends on Earth.

Regarding the behavior of these media, Diva already knew very well during the blockade period.

Those tabloids that are good at creating explosive fake news are not allowed to set foot on the land of Asgard at all. Only the most impartial and objective mainstream media can get a glimpse of the magnificence and glory of the Golden Palace of God's Domain.

There are also some ignorant guys who directly ask if they can interview God King Odin up close.

This rude request was immediately rejected.

Not to mention how honorable the status of the king is in Asgard, a country with a royal system, but even the current situation of the god king, it is impossible to allow reporters to disturb him.

Odin enters the God's Sleep.

This time it's true, not deception with a purpose.

He will sleep for a long time this time to make up for the injuries caused by the broken godhood. Fortunately, the divine power in Odin's body is majestic enough to barely maintain the stability of the godhead, not as miserable as Hela or the big snake.

In the dormitory of the Golden Palace, Frigga, who still looks a little sick, is adjusting the runes of the God's Rest Altar for her husband, so that his divine power can be sorted out more smoothly.

Beside Tianhou, stood her own pair of sons and daughters.

Thor and Loki.

The bloody story of the Odin family has been known to Thor, and he has two older sisters, both of whom tried to do everything possible to kill their father's rebellious sister.

Hela will not talk about it, she already has a criminal record.

Moreover, since the War of the Ten Realms came to an end, Hela disappeared mysteriously. Neither her father nor her mother mentioned her name again.

But Angela, the first daughter of Odin and the Queen of Heaven, is currently imprisoned in the lighthouse by the sea in New Asgard, which is the biggest secret in Asgard right now.

Angela's appearance and her assassination are too bizarre, as well as her past life experience, which involves the secrets of the kingdom of angels. It is destined that Angela's secrets will not be leaked in a short period of time.

This is what the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized.

I will represent Asgard in the human world in the near future to meet with the official.

Thor looked at his sleeping father, and said:

By the way, go to the mainland to see my friends.

It's mainly to see your little lover, isn't it?

Loki leaned aside, holding a bitten apple in his hand, and said in a strange way:

Jane Foster, that human woman who made you dizzy, didn't you take Sif with you? I'm still looking forward to watching them fight for you.

Loki!

Tianhou scolded, and she said:

Don't be so mean.

Thor's expression was also not very good-looking, probably because he thought of Jane's recent situation, he became rude, and he said to his sister:

Jane is seriously ill, and time may not be long. I really want to visit her. If possible, I hope to bring her to Asgard. My queen, our healing magic may save her life.

Then bring it.

Tianhou's expression didn't change much.

As she took her handkerchief from the golden basin and wiped her husband's cheeks, she said:

I also really want to see the wife my son chooses. For the sake of Jane taking such good care of my son, if possible, I will try my best to save her.

But healing magic is not a panacea.

Loki took a bite of the apple, and while chewing, flicked her long black hair boredly. She seemed to be hitting Thor on purpose. She said:

Asgardians will also get sick, and people on Earth are more vulnerable than us. Magic can indeed expel illness, provided that she can persist under the scouring of magic power...

What the hell are you trying to say, Loki?

Thor glared at his sister.

The latter shrugged and said in a relaxed tone:

I mean, I have to persuade you to calm down, Thor, human life is like a seemingly gorgeous soap bubble, which can be burst with a poke, and any disaster can take their lives away... .”

If things can't be done, you have to be prepared to lose her. You can't be like a naive child, trying to hold everything in your hands.

Loki chuckled, and she said:

Is there no magic on the earth? The magic power hidden in this seemingly poor world is far beyond your imagination. Because of your relationship, Jane is not an ordinary person. Maybe she has already sought the help of magic.

You have to be mentally prepared, that's what I'm saying!

Thor clenched his fists.

He really wanted to rush up and punch the foul-mouthed Loki.

But that was his relative after all, his younger brother who had spent 1,500 years together, even though she was now a younger sister.

He glared at Loki, who looked indifferent.

After a few seconds, Thor sighed and let go of his fist. He turned to the queen and said:

My queen, I'm going to see the ambassadors. Asgard's mead has too much stamina for them. Maybe we need to arrange some healers.

Well, let's go.

Frigga leaned on her staff and smiled back at Thor, she said:

My son, you are the one who knows the most about the earth among the people of God's Domain. It would be great for you to get in touch with them. Also, the stonemason you mentioned before...

Mr. Randolph.

Thor said to the Queen of Heaven:

He is my friend, the father of the loyal Asgard warrior Skolchi, and he was once the most valiant general under his father's command. He has stayed on the earth for more than a thousand years and has accumulated a huge wealth in Europe. industry, and is considered a celebrity in Spain's upper class.

He is willing to use his contacts to help his motherland adapt to the world faster, and to establish sufficient and safe material and information channels. If you agree, mother, I will inform him to see you at an appropriate time.

Then arrange it.

Tianhou nodded, and she said:

Now that Asgard is in ruins, we need some trustworthy people of the same race. If Mr. Randolph is willing, I can appoint him as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of God's Realm, and he will be fully responsible for the communication between God's Realm and the outside world.

Skolchi will take care of all this, Queen Mother.

Thor said to the Queen of Heaven:

He lives in the Golden Palace recently, you can call him at any time, and I will go first.

After finishing speaking, Thor bowed to the queen, glanced at Loki who was leaning on the pillar, then turned and strode away.

The Empress watched her son leave the palace. She leaned on her staff and turned to look at Loki. She was silent for a moment, then said:

Rocky, you are deliberately irritating your brother, why? Do you have any problems with that Jane Foster?

No.

After Loki finished eating the apples, she threw the cores into the trash can at hand, and she said calmly:

I just think that Thor seems to prefer being an Earthling than being an Asgardian. After Asgard entered the earth, he was the first in this country to adapt, and he was even a little happy... This makes I feel a little uncomfortable.

Really?

Tianhou took a few steps forward, and Loki stepped forward obediently, holding his mother's arm.

As Frigga walked forward, she pointedly said:

You are a very smart child, you have been from a young age, Loki, but you seldom hide your thoughts from me, probably because you were brought up by me... It is not because of this reason that you Those who provoke Thor, you are not so careful.

The queen patted Rocky's finger, and she said:

It's because of guilt, because you are not convinced, just like when you were a child, you always want to prove that you are better than Thor, and challenge him everywhere.

I still remember that when you were young, you always used magic to trick Thor, turning him into a frog, or disguising yourself as a snake. Thor likes snakes. He has liked...

Every time he catches a snake, you will change back to your original shape to scare him, and occasionally poke him with a dagger, and he will bleed, but you will never learn the lesson. Next time you see a snake, you will still be excited to catch it.

The queen sighed, she and Loki walked to the terrace, she looked at New Asgard in the sunset.

The golden and warm sun shines on this land that does not belong to this world, and the distance is shimmering. On the endless grassland, some Asgardian soldiers are training.

The knights galloped in the sun, and there were fighter jets patrolling the airspace.

In the rebuilt city, people who have been busy all day are gathering or hanging out in the lively market. The war is over. Although the result is not good, the people embraced peace again.

Everything needs to be compared, especially after the war, peace is so beautiful.

You have never been convinced by Thor since you were a child, but this dissatisfaction has not turned into worse things. On the contrary, in this kind of mutual rivalry, you have become the best brothers.

After you grew up, you were very obedient and always followed Thor, but the stubbornness in your eyes has never dissipated.

Looking at her own country, the queen said to the silent Loki beside her:

You have been living in Thor's shadow. I heard what happened in the void, but Thor didn't tell me.

Even after you betrayed him with bad behavior, he still chose to defend you, hid his grievances in his heart, forced a smile, and was unwilling to destroy your image in my heart and your father's heart.

He's still defending you as before, even if you did do something wrong, Loki.

The queen sighed, and she said:

Even after Thor has made it clear that he has given up the throne, you still haven't dissipated the anxiety in your heart. I guess, you probably know that the conflict between you and Thor is not about the throne, or it comes from the attention of your parents. ..”

The biggest contradiction between you is that you always want to prove that you are better than Thor, but Thor never responds to this kind of provocation. He takes it for granted that he defends you. He has the heart of a king. This is probably your father. Why value him.

Loki, Thor never fights with you for anything. Your challenge has been lost from the very beginning.

Facing the queen's words, Loki did not refute.

She stood behind her mother, and after her mother finished speaking, Loki remained silent.

Under the glow of the setting sun, Loki suddenly felt that her behavior was quite naive. What the queen said was right, and she didn't want to continue to hide it.

She stretched out her hand towards her mother, and in the sunlight, the rune phantom that Frigga personally blessed Loki when she was a child dissipated little by little, revealing ice-blue skin, fingers with nails, and arms. of red runes.

That finger exudes a cold air, and under the sun, it looks like a slightly hideous work of art.

I see.

Loki said coldly:

I knew this secret a long time ago. I also met Hela. Before you and Odin found out, I talked to Hela a lot. I have been to hell. A big devil told me this everything.

I am not your son, I do not have the blood of Asgard, Thor and I are not brothers, this is not my home, I have nothing but lies...

Looking at the cold arm, Tian Hou didn't know what to say for a while.

And Loki's speech is not over yet.

With a kind of hatred, she said to Tian Hou:

That throne will never belong to me!

Only after Thor gave it up did Odin see me as a possible heir, but I don't want what he handed over. You are right, mother, and my conflict with Thor is not on the throne.

Actually, after Thor gave up the kingship, I really realized that there is only one thing I want!

I don't want to live in Thor's shadow for the rest of my life, even though he has given up his responsibility to this country, everyone is still telling me, you have to learn from Thor!

Ah

Loki sneered, and she said:

I did betray Thor, but it was for the sake of this country, and I did. I brought back the power gem, just a little bit, and I was able to save this country with my own hands.

I admit that I was too eager for quick success, and I didn't realize that Angela was harboring evil intentions. The desire for victory blinded my eyes, but do you know what is worse? Mother.

Loki put his hand on his mother's shoulder, and she whispered:

You don't need Thor and me to contribute to this country at all. You have already arranged everything with Raven. You don't believe us, you don't believe me, you don't even believe Thor.

That's just because your shoulders are too immature to bear the expectations of an entire kingdom!

The queen interrupted Rocky's guess.

She reached out and took Loki's cold arm, and she turned to look at Loki, looking directly into her daughter's eyes, and said:

You are indeed not the child of me and Odin, but Loki, does it matter? We have lived together for 1,500 years, and I have always regarded you as my real son. Is the difference in blood really that important?

Look me in the eyes and tell me, do you really see me as a schemer, not a mother?

Loki looked into the Queen's eyes.

There was pain rolling in her green eyes, and finally, bowing her head and hugging the queen, she said:

No, mother.

I'm still your child, that's why I'm still here...

But I'm going. You're right. Thor's shadow hangs over me. I must go.

Leave this shadow and find my own life.
