[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

Hold it in the palm of your hand, frowning and staring at it.

What should she do with it?

Mr. Smulders once taught her: "Never trust anything that can think for itself, unless you see where it hides its mind."

But... that's just the point of view of an earth wizard, and she is no longer an earthling.Besides...

She thought of all the strange things about herself, the solemn eyes that Odin occasionally looked at, and the magical power that Frigg could never explain...

Open it.

she said to herself.

Perhaps all mysteries can be answered here.

Inside the metal ball is a gemstone that looks a lot like the one on Loki's staff, except it's purple in color.

Oh, and it's still a bit different from Loki's scepter - letting Laura go and steal it back seems to have drained all of its autonomy, and it doesn't affect Lara's emotions now, nor does the scepter whispered to Laura.

Laura hesitated for a moment, stretched out two fingers and pinched it gently.

The moment it touched Laura's skin, the gem burst into a dazzling purple light, which made Laura immediately put her hands together to try to cover up the light——

At the same time, Frigga's voice came from outside the door: "Laura? Are you here?"

Laura didn't know where to hide the things for a while, so she could only clenched her hands desperately, covering the light of the gemstone tightly.The door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Frigga walked in: "Laura? What are you doing, why don't you say anything?"

"Ah... I... I'm practicing control... magic, I didn't notice you coming." Laura folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, stammering.

"Are you not feeling well?" Frigga asked with concern, looking over her lower abdomen.

"No, I'm fine," Laura said, nodding for emphasis. "I'm fine."

"Okay, dear, you have something to tell me." Frigga said softly, and she gently stroked Laura's hair, "The banquet is about to begin, today is a day worth celebrating, You can't hide in your room. Let's go out and celebrate?"

"I want to change clothes."

"Then I'll wait for you outside," Frigg said.

With a forced smile on her face, Laura watched as Frigga closed the door of the bedroom.She's going to stuff the purple gemstone back into the metal ball, right now, right now—

What about gems?

Laura spread her ten fingers. Where is the shadow of the gem between her hands?

How can this be?She clearly held the gem tightly in her palm, how could the gem disappear for no reason?

"Gems coming? Orbs coming?" Laura called softly, but nothing answered her spell.Her heart was beating like a drum, her mind was in chaos, and her head was a little dizzy.She swallowed dryly, and reached out to hug her head, but found that the temperature on her forehead was astonishingly hot.

"Laura? Are you ready?"

Frigga was outside urging her.

Laura took a few deep breaths and replied, "I'll come."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I found that I can count the number of chapters updated in October on one hand...

Seeing the little angel's questioning message, I feel ashamed to answer...

How should I put it, just writing and writing, falling into a kind of self-doubt and unable to extricate myself.

I don’t want to repeat my psychological process here, it’s too sad, and I don’t want to affect you.

No matter what, you won't be cheated, just keep working hard :)

Chapter 52

It has been a long time since Asgard held such a grand banquet like today.It seems that the entire Asgard people participated in the banquet, and the banquet was arranged from inside to outside the temple.During the banquet, people sang and danced, and almost everyone had a happy smile on their faces, sweeping away the haze of the previous war.

Laura sat next to Saul.She clutched her cup nervously, her eyes constantly scanning the people around her.She was confused, panicked, and conflicted: On the one hand, she hoped that someone could explain what had happened to her, but on the other hand, she was very afraid of being found out that something was wrong with her.

Where did that jewel... go?

Saul next to him was playing with the wine glass boredly, looking a little sullen.Laura knew what he was thinking—he hadn't found a chance to ask Heimdall about Jane's situation today.

Not far away, Fandral was completely integrated into the joyful crowd. In his arms were two beauties who were feeding him intimately.Hugging left and right, he looks very happy, really worthy of Casanova of Asgard.

At the other end of the long table, Vostagg is holding his two children in his arms, and under the eyes of everyone, he is drinking one glass after another. After drinking a glass, he will shout loudly: "Come again!" fell to the ground.It was a heroic act that the people of Asgard would applaud, but Laura still couldn't understand, and just wanted to use magic to restore the cup to its original state.

Laura was not familiar with the others.Sif didn't know where she went, probably stopped by some man outside the hall.On such a day of celebration, there is never a shortage of people who take the opportunity to express their love.Odin and Frigga sat in the middle of the hall, talking and laughing at Yanyan—it seemed that there was nothing to worry about, everyone was normal, except herself.

No—she had missed someone.

Heimdall.

Heimdall suddenly appeared in the hall, and Laura spotted him immediately.

What is he doing here?Even on days like this, he should have stayed at Rainbow Bridge, that was his duty.

Laura became more tense, and she could even feel the muscles in her face twitching due to the pressure.

Did he see it?See that gem?It is said that he can see all the movements of the Nine Kingdoms——

She let go of the cup in her hand, and turned to grab the table in front of her—this action would be more subtle, and she didn't want people to find out that she was strange at the moment.She stared at Heimdall intently, watching him go straight to the throne in the center of the hall.He saluted Odin, and then leaned into Odin's ear and said something.

In the next second, Odin's sharp eyes passed through the crowd and fell on her.

Heimdall's golden eyes stared at her too.

Laura felt hot all over.In such a noisy hall, she could clearly hear the sound of her own blood rushing through her veins—maybe it wasn’t blood, but magic power—she just wanted to leave here immediately—no, she had to control herself , she can't—

Pong——!

Everyone around the table looked at her in surprise.

Laura herself was startled.She stared dumbfounded at the solid wood in her hand, her mind went blank.She actually tore off a piece of the table in front of her - when did she have such strength?

It was Vostagg who broke the silence first.He laughed and said loudly, "Nice job, Laura! This reminds me of the stupid things I did before—do you remember Fandral? We drank too much—"

"——Cracked all the tables in the entire hall." Fandral said, he raised his glass to Vostagg with a smirk: "Then we had to do carpentry for several months."

"But I didn't expect women to be so powerful." Vostagg put the child in his arms on the ground, and walked up to Laura waddlingly: "You must compare your strength with me."

Fandral also laughed, and he said, "Really, Vostagg, you want to compete with girls?"

"So what?" Vostagg obviously drank too much. He said, "It's rare for me to see a mage with such a strong hand. That guy Loki is so weak-speaking of it, this table is not light."

Saul shook his head helplessly at Laura.He reached out to stop Vostagg and said, "I won't let my sister wrestle with you."

Laura smiled awkwardly, and quietly "disappeared" the piece of wood.Fortunately among the misfortunes—they didn't notice that, compared to a sudden burst of force breaking a table, what was even more strange was that the broken wood happened to be a very standard semicircle.Laura was sure she hadn't used the Cutting Charm, and that the broken piece wasn't exactly a knot.

"I'm very glad that you enjoyed today's dinner." Frigga walked beside them at some point, and everyone bowed their heads to her.She put her arms around Laura's shoulders and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to interrupt your joy, but I want to borrow this beautiful lady. Is it possible?"

The queen went out in person, and Vostagg would not lose face no matter how much he drank.Frigga lifted the stiff Laura from the seat, and said to Saul before leaving, "You come with me too."

Frigg took them to the library.In the library, Odin was already waiting for them.

"Father." Sol stepped forward and asked, "Why did you call us here?"

"Saul, my son," said Odin, "put Mjolnir on the table."

Thor looked confused, but complied anyway.He put Thor's Hammer in his hand on the table, Odin stared at Laura meaningfully, and then said: "Laura, try to pick it up."

Laura couldn't help looking at Frigg, who just nodded to her.She had no choice but to step forward and hold the hammer handle with her right hand.

The hammer was lifted by her.

"How is that possible?" Saul said in disbelief. "You said only recognized people could—before Laura never—"

"This is not your problem, nor is it the problem of Thor's Hammer." Odin interrupted Thor.He stretched out a hand and made a calm gesture to Saul: "It
