Chapter 1627 Fishing Day (20)

Hela arrived a little earlier than expected, but she still complied with the pop-up announcement made by SHIELD and the Sanctum outside the earth that was invisible to ordinary humans. All alien visitors must wear earthly clothes. , and it seems that she has done more than that, because her clothes are obviously matched, not just like Thor and Sif who just used magic to conjure up a look-able outfit.

The slender goddess of the underworld wears a slim-fitting black dark-striped turtleneck sweater on her upper body, a Louis Vuitton classic pattern waistcoat, a lotus bag-style hip-covering long skirt on her lower body, and slightly fine velvet matte leggings. This is Chanel's new model this year, and the feet are pointed, slightly professional-style high heels.

The most eye-catching thing is that she wears a gorgeous pure white mink fur shawl. The shawl is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides. When unfolded, it looks like a bamboo leaf, and the two ends of the bamboo leaf are decorated with gorgeous gem tassels. The end of the shawl is She held her in her arms, and even her nails were decorated with black and gold manicures, slightly longer than the fingers, with a sharp and aggressive look.

Her black hair was pulled back in a semi-arc knot, with a curved hairpin set with rubies pinned underneath. Two strands of curly hair in front of her forehead rested on both sides of her cheeks, and her skin had a sickly pale color.

"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 that sounded like it had been burned by fire was first squeezed out, and then it sounded like it was being very... The substantive tone squeezed out with difficulty makes people shiver unconsciously.

"Very beautiful, madam." Nick praised sincerely, then patted Thor on the shoulder and said, "Look at me, every time I put you in human clothes, it seems to kill you."

"Come on, every time I'm almost to Earth, I remember your troublesome rules. You can only use magic to get yourself covered with it." Thor said without complaint: "You should put the announcement on At the door of the solar system, at least at the door of your dimension, right?”

"You want me to return to Asgard? Interesting." Hela's tone was very flat, except for the final note rising a little.

"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 troubles in Asgard have been happening one after another recently. They are not big things, but they occupy too many people. Much energy.”

"I have never thought that Asgard is such a complicated country before." Thor shook his head and frowned and said, "I have never thought that ruling Asgard is so difficult."

It is actually quite unusual to hear a ruler talk about the difficulties he has encountered. Most kings are accustomed to showing their power and perfection, showing a confident attitude that they have answers to any questions. In the past, they were trusted You did the same thing.

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

He can no longer raise his weapons and charge at the enemy as he did in the past, killing him heartily. Instead, he has to sit in the government hall all day long checking the income and expenditure statements, staring at the progress of project construction, and listening to the news from the economy and society. Intelligence and observation of the movements and reactions of personnel in various departments after the restructuring.

Under this kind of rule, Thor has no one to refer to. The Asgard civilization has been at war for the first half of its life, but it happened to him. Looking at the sociology and interstellar situation, martial arts and civil governance are completely different. Thor You can't teach yourself without a teacher.

Of course, Hela 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.

"No matter when, there are many contradictions within Asgard. This country has never been simple." Hela's voice spread, and she was more rational than imagined: "The war eliminated such contradictions, because in the process of outward expansion At that time, everyone was busy competing for external interests.”

"If you give up the path of war, you can only stabilize your rule by letting them check and balance each other and constantly consume themselves in internal conflicts."

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

"The problem facing Asgard now is that Frigga withdrew too early. She and Sif did not have any confrontation, and all the power was handed over to Sif. As a result, the interest groups that originally took orders from Frigga were busy Cause trouble for Sif."

"You mean I should let them split into two?"

Nick shook his head slightly and said: "You should build another team outside of them, and then let them form a check and balance. This is why I advise you to find Hela. If Frigga can't act as the leader of another group, Chief, then let’s be the eldest princess of Asgard.”

Thor's eyes widened 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."

"The same goes for Luo Ji. Doesn't she have no followers? With her alone, everyone can choose to follow her or not. But if there is Hela, they can only choose to follow Luo Ji or Hela, because no Anyone who takes sides may be eliminated by Hela.”

"Then there will inevitably be a group of people who stand with Luo Ji because they hate or fear Hela. Following her out of interests is much more stable than following her out of emotional needs."

Hela listened to Nick's narrative like a bystander and seemed quite interested. Finally, Nick concluded: "After the war, the country is like a pool of stagnant water. Without external support, the hungry wolves will start to trouble the master. You have to bring in running water, let the people below bite each other, and let them solve their own problems in competition.”

"Sounds very evil," Thor said with a frown.

"Power struggles are evil." Unexpectedly, Steve said: "It has always been like this since ancient times, so I always avoid getting involved."

Hela's eyes fell on Steve's face. Steve frowned slightly and then turned his head away. Captain America rarely made this kind of retreat gesture. He faced most people. Honest and fearless.

But Hela's gaze was really too aggressive. It wasn't like Natasha's slightly charming gaze when teasing Steve, but a very pure gaze that looked at or even stared at, as if Looking at a toy in the window, the only message conveyed is "I'm interested, so I'll get it."

Of course, Hela doesn't really want Steve. She seems to be just used to looking at men with such eyes. Considering that she is a royal princess in a completely traditional patriarchal society like Asgard, this is even more surprising. .

The more he comes into contact with Hela, the more Thor can understand why even Odin thought Hela was too extreme at the beginning. She was completely a strange flower growing in a deserted field, as if she was completely devoid of education and social domestication. The more wild you are under anyone's gaze, the more powerful you become.

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

Finally, Sif tentatively said, "Loki and Frigga seem to be troubled by their love life. She seems to be in conflict with some parts of herself. Can you go talk to her?"

To both Thor and Sif's surprise, Hela nodded after thinking for a moment. She agreed so readily, which made Thor have some doubts. Now Thor's state is that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm Loki."

"Rocky sent Gwen to Dr. Schiller, but she should go back to the cabin to put down the things she bought. You should be able to meet her there." Nick patted the direction of the lakeside cabin. Chin, said.

Just as he said, when Hela was walking up the steps in front of the hut, she met Luo Ji who had put away her things. Luo Ji was startled by her. If there wasn't a wall behind, she would have fled. On to the other side of the lake.

Hela turned around, not looking at Luo Ji, but said to herself: "Let's go for a walk by the lake."

Luo Ji looked at her leaving figure, stood there and pondered for a while, and then followed her.

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

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

Luo Ji smiled as if he knew she would ask this, and then said: "Because Frigga wanted a daughter, she didn't want to force me, but I could see that she was very happy to have a princess accompanying her. "

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

Hela's question was so straightforward and to the point that Luo Ji was silent for a while before she said: "Maybe at first, she wanted to make up for your regrets, but in fact you are more like Odin, and I am more like She, what mother doesn’t want a daughter who is exactly like herself?”

"But you feel the struggle, because being a woman of status in Asgard comes with so many difficulties and so little to gain."

Luo Ji pursed her lips and looked into the distance, saying: "I don't want to overstate this. In fact, this is not the biggest difficulty I have encountered in my life. What makes me a little confused is that it seems that you all Well done, it’s just me.”

"Because you still look at things from a male perspective." Hela tilted her head slightly and lowered her eyes to look at Luo Ji. Hela was already very tall, almost the same as Thor, and when Luo Ji turned into a woman, She is a little shorter, so there is a height difference between the two of them.

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

"Men have no natural reproductive function, so they will sow as many seeds as possible and chase every woman of the right age in their prime. Their primitive instinct tells 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 in the evening could not be blown away, but fell heavily to the ground and penetrated into the soil.

"On the contrary, women have the ability to have children, but we must be responsible for the safety during childbirth and the quality of our offspring, so we have to find the strongest one among all men."

"Men are lustful, and women are lustful. They are all driven by the urge to reproduce. This is the primitive instinct that enables a civilization to continue. No one can criticize it harshly."

"We are all looking for the best within what we can seek, rather than what is most suitable for ourselves. They want us, and we choose them, and we all follow this rule."

"It sounds so... barbaric."

"Instinct is always barbaric, simple and straightforward, and completely driven by desire. This can make reproduction more efficient and allow civilization to last longer."

Hela turned her head back, staring 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 rule and stare at them."

"When they consider whether you can give birth to offspring with their genes, you should also consider whether they can provide good genes? Do they have a safe enough environment and abundant assets to ensure the safety and comfort of you and your offspring?"

"If none of these are available, it proves that his optimal object is a million miles away from you. You can just let go of this dreamy and unreal stare and don't care."
