Chapter 327 S: Glorious Event (VII)
Strange walked on the bridge in front of the Asgard Palace. The afterglow of the setting sun made the Asgard buildings under his feet look even more brilliant. He walked past the tall guards at the end of the bridge and walked up the steps one after another. See the beautiful fountains and flowers in the square in front of the door.
Immediately afterwards, he followed the goddess who led the way into the vast hall of the fairy palace, where dozens of pillars were like towering trees, supporting a huge dome carved with complicated patterns.
Strange followed the goddess who led him into the elevator. The elevator platform slowly rose amidst the roar. Looking down from here, he could see the laughing children in the Asgard square on the other side.
Soon, the elevator stopped, and the door in front of him slowly opened. After walking in, two tall alien plants guarded the door. The Asgard goddess in white turned around and said to Strange: "Go through this The corridor bridge is turning to the right, and the tower is where His Highness is. You cannot enter without permission. "
Strange nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance. Also, can I ask, is Luo Ji okay now?"
The goddess in white robe shook her head, turned around and walked back to the elevator. Strange sighed, he could already imagine Luo Ji's miserable condition.
He kept walking forward as the goddess said. This is a covered bridge directly behind the gate of the Immortal Palace. The wall on the left is the corridor of the Immortal Palace. Behind him is the elevator. On the right are the railings and columns. Go straight forward and turn right, and you will see what the goddess said, a tower independent of the fairy palace.
Strange walked over. The door of the tower was connected to the covered bridge. There were two metal door knockers on it. Strange picked up one of them and buttoned the door. Luo Ji's voice came from inside: "Please Enter."
Strange was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to get in?"
"Push the door, what else?"
Strange took two steps back and looked at the door. Only then did he realize that there was no protective circle on it. The door even opened a small crack as he knocked on the door just now.
"Is the door unlocked?" Strange's eyes widened in surprise. He stepped forward, pulled the door knocker, and the door opened directly.
The scene inside is completely different from the black prison that Strange imagined. It is a circular tower with corridors surrounding the walls, and in the center is a Viking-style garden.
Many of the plants there are very similar to those on Earth, a bit like ancient versions of Earth's plants. There are also many slightly broken statues in the center. Luo Ji is standing under one of the statues reading a book, and Strange is walking quickly Walked over to him and asked: "Are you okay?"
Before Luo Ji could speak, Strange said: "Is your mind okay? You knew that Odin would be so angry that he wanted to kill you, but you dared to return to Asgard. This is not a trap. ”
"Aren't I fine now?" Luo Ji raised her eyes and her voice was a little cold. Strange looked up and looked around and said, "Where is this place? Are all your prisons in Asgard so high-end?" "Who told you this is a prison? This is the ruins of our ancient royal garden, which retains the traces of our time on earth. Upstairs are the archives and the library. I usually like to stay here the most. " "Didn't Odin punish you? You got into a big trouble this time." Luo Ji sighed and said, "I'm also surprised..." Then, Strange heard from Rocky what happened before he came. The gods of Nordic mythology come from the earth. They belong to ancient civilizations. Therefore, like most ancient civilizations on the earth, there are mainly the following types of punishments. The most serious of them is exile. Theoretically speaking, there is no death penalty in Asgard, but exile is not much different from death penalty. People who have committed huge mistakes are directly sent to a dark universe randomly. As for where he wants to No one cares how you survive. The second is expulsion. These two penalties are different. Expulsion means that as long as you don’t stay in Asgard, you can go anywhere. The more serious one is that you are not allowed to enter the nine kingdoms, but as long as you don’t come here, Others won't give you any trouble. In the original comics, Thor was expelled from Asgard by Heimdall. Although he finally came back, this is considered one of the more serious punishments in Asgard. Then there is whipping. Whipping exists in Asgard, and the reason why whipping ranks third in the severity of punishment is because Asgard’s whipping is not a human whip, but a whip. The whip of thunder is composed of the divine power of Odin, the father of the gods. Even if this whip is struck on an Asgardian with extremely strong physical fitness, it can last for half a year with one whip. The reason why this punishment is serious is that once you are whipped, you will not be able to go to the battlefield for a long time and can only stay at home. This is a devastating blow to the Asgardians. Before Luo Ji returned to Asgard, she estimated that she would have to be whipped. After all, the trouble he got into this time was a bit too big. The princess who had rebelled before was offended, and she almost broke through the seal, and captured the eldest prince who had returned to the World Tree. In the end, it also stirred up old and new hatreds between the two of them... In addition to throwing the Destroyer to the earth and getting Thor to Sakaar before, Odin's thunder was still on the way, which already moved Luo Ji very much. Why did Luo Ji return to Asgard? She just thought that she would die sooner or later, and she would inevitably get beaten up, so she might as well finish the beating quickly so that she could go out and cause trouble. But when Loki returned to Asgard, Odin was really angry, and even his nose was crooked. But when Loki half-knelt in the Asgard Hall, waiting for Odin's punishment, Odin directly asked him to go back to his room to reflect and not leave Asgard without his order. This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that time, Loki, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned. He thought Odin had not finished speaking, so he did not move at all. Odin was even angrier. The father of the gods was so angry that his hands were shaking. He stretched out his arm and pointed at the door and said: "Get out!" So, Loki got out with a confused look on his face. Then, he saw in the elevator that Odin hurriedly put on his armor, took up his weapons and left. You know, the father of the gods was still asleep before, and the armor was found by Heimdall, and the weapons were not polished. Before Loki figured out what Odin was going to do, Frigga came to his room. After seeing Loki, she burst into tears, and Loki had to comfort her mother quickly. Frigga wiped her tears and said, "How dare you? Do you know that even Odin, the father of the gods, had to avoid Hela's edge. She is the real Lord of the Dead. You messed with her, my God..." "Are you injured? Where is your divine power? What is the new divine power in your body? Is it Thor's power? ... Where are others? Why doesn't he know how to protect his brother...sister?" Frigga became more and more angry. She said, "Thor is just like his father! He only thinks about fighting. Every time he goes out, he doesn't know how to go home for hundreds of years, causing a lot of trouble, and then he hurriedly runs back for us to clean up his mess!" "I didn't want to scold him before, because he is the future heir of Asgard and he has to learn how to fight, but this time he went a little too far! His sister is... Hunted by the God of Death, he is still wandering in the universe? ! " Frigga was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling. Loki walked up and patted her on the back. Frigga held her hand, touched her hair and said: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt my child." "Even if I have never left the Fairy Palace or been on the battlefield since I married your father, I was the first wizard of the Ninth Session and the god of wizards respected by the nine kingdoms..." Frigga hugged Loki and said to her: "Don't be afraid, I will always protect my family..." "You know, in this atmosphere, how can I say that I have offended Balder? What if the Queen of Gods is too angry, the Father of Gods may really kill me." Loki sighed in the ancient garden, holding a book, looking a little helpless. Strange said: "You should have seen by now that your parents love you very much. Although my relationship with my father is not good, I think there is an example that can describe your current situation very well. " "When a child scratches someone else's car, his father may beat him in anger, but if a child blows up the White House, his parents will definitely try their best to protect the child." "The bigger the trouble, the more your parents will side with you, just like this time." "And because you have been obedient before and have never caused any trouble, Odin may think that this is just an accident. He may not be angry with you more, but think of what happened between him and Hela..." "It's just this time that I'm starting to get a little tired of this kind of repeated testing. The universe is so big. I can't find anything better to do than hanging out with these war madmen." Luo Ji looked a little impatient. "It's good that you figured it out. So when do you plan to return to the Sanctuary? I'm going crazy!" Loki walked to a bench nearby and sat down. She said, "I returned to Asgard not only to test Odin, but more importantly, I can get news about Hela here without having to meet him in person." Loki looked around and found that there were no servants nearby. He lowered his voice and said, "When I was chatting with Hela in the Kingdom of the Dead, he heard him say that his favorite place to go in Asgard was the Ancient Garden, and he once left a mark here." "As long as I stay here and observe the state of this mark, I can judge whether he has escaped. Once this mark reacts, it means that the war is about to begin." "Mark? Is it the one we saw in the cemetery last time?" "Almost, but different, because in Asgard, Hela was not the God of Death, but the general shape is the same, and once he escapes, the mark will show his unique dark green energy..." "Dark green energy? You mean... that kind of energy?" Strange said, looking at the back of Loki. Loki turned back suddenly and saw thick smoke coming out from under a sculpture in the middle of the garden. The moment screams and wails sounded, most of the plants in the ancient garden were eroded by the energy of death, gradually withered and turned into ashes. "Get out of the way!" Loki shouted. Strange waved his hand, the portal flashed, and he and Loki disappeared together. In Nick's office at SHIELD, Schiller and Nick had just sat down when they heard a "sizzle" sound, followed by two "bangs". The portal appeared above the office, and then Loki and Strange fell down together. Schiller held the water cup, tapped the rim of the cup with his fingers, looked down at the two of them, turned to Nick and said: "It seems that I don't need to say it."
