Chapter Thirty-Six: Loki in Action
Heimdall swore an oath, "I see, Father of the Gods, I'll keep an eye on Thor." β
"Hmm!" Odin nodded, with a hint of exhaustion on his old face, turned around, jumped on the eight-legged horse, turned his head to Heimdall and said: "Pay attention to the movements of the Frost Giant, Thor was interrupted by the Frost Giant because of the succession to the throne, and went to Jotunheim to make a big fuss, killing so many Frost Giants, Laufey will not give up." β
"I will, Father of the Gods!"
"Let's hope it's all in time." Odin whispered, and with a pull of the reins, the eight-legged horse galloped across the transparent bridge and galloped away in the direction of the palace, and soon disappeared.
Heimdall continued to stand there as if a stone statue had been made, staring at the star field that would not change for a long time.
On a rooftop of the royal palace, Rocky Odinson, the second prince of Asgard with a pale face and a slender figure, looked at Beafrost in the distance, and in front of him was a water mirror, reflecting the scene inside Beafrost, and the sound inside also came from this water mirror.
Suddenly, as if a stone had been thrown into the calm water mirror, there were strong ripples, and the next second it dissipated, which made Loki startled, and then turned around, and a woman in rich clothes stood in the doorway, it was none other than the queen of Asgard, Friggia.
"Mother!"
Frigga dissipated the magic in her palm and said to Loki, "Loki, I taught you magic, not to eavesdrop on your father. β
Loki hurriedly explained: "Mother, I want to know when my father will let my brother come back, he made a big fuss about Jotunheim last time, the Frost Giant will definitely not stop there, Asgard needs him." β
Frigga walked up to Loki, raised her hand and stroked Loki's face, and said with pleading, "Loki, you and Thor are brothers, let's work together to protect Asgard, okay?" β
Loki looked at his mother's pleading expression, held Friga's palm with his backhand, let the warm palm stick more firmly on his face, nodded, and said very seriously: "I will, mother, and my brother will protect Asgard." β
Hearing Loki's words, a smile appeared on Friggia's face, causing Loki to laugh as well. But after Frigga left, the smile on Loki's face disappeared directly, and he returned to the face of 'everyone owes me five million', which has remained unchanged for ten thousand years, and whispered: "I can protect Asgard alone, and I will prove it to you." β
Night soon fell on Asgard, and at the end of the night, a figure left the palace and sailed into the mountains and disappeared into the night. It was a long time before the ship returned quietly, and all the time, neither Heimdall nor anyone else noticed it, as if it didn't exist.
In Jotunheim, which is covered in ice and snow all year round, and is full of continuous icebergs and ice, Laufey, the king of frost giants, met the intelligence traffickers he had cooperated with many times, and the last time he got the information from him, he successfully made several ice giants cross the Asgardian defense line and quietly reach the Odin Treasury, although they were finally blasted into slag by the destroyers who guarded Odin's Treasury, but at least they touched it.
And this time, the news that this mysterious intelligence dealer sold was that Thor, who had come to make trouble with Jotunheim last time, angered Odin and was deprived of Thor's powers and exiled to Midgard. This made Laufi overjoyed, if it was in the heavily guarded Asgard, he could only endure this breath, but if it was really in the weak Midgard, and was deprived of his strength, it would be a gift from heaven.
After paying a lot of cold iron that only the extremely cold Jotunheim produced, he was given the approximate location of Thor and how to avoid Heimdall's eyes and reach Midgard.
After the man in black left, Laufey showed a mocking smile on his face and said to himself: "Odin, your Asgard is not monolithic, someone wants your son to die so soon." β
Laufey's eyes were full of hatred, his face was hideous, and the surface of his clenched fists was frosty. Click! He shouted to the empty ice palace: "Send a team to Midgard immediately to see if Thor is really deprived of his strength, and by the way, to test whether what this traitor from Asgard has given can really hide from Heimdall's eyes." If it works, there will definitely be a lot of people interested, and we can sell it and exchange it for something back. β
Laufey didn't fully trust this so-called intelligence monger, and he didn't send elite troops over, and if he was trapped, he would just lose an ordinary team. But he is also ready, and once the news is confirmed, he will send an elite force to Midgard to capture Thor and exchange him for the Frost Giant's artifact, the Frost Box, which was blocked by Odin in Odin's treasury.
No one knew what was happening here except the participants, and Thor, who had lost his powers, rode in the dark as a mortal in an elongated off-road vehicle. This section of Highway 40 was desolate and terrible, and the SUV towing the RV drove forward for nearly 200 kilometers before finding a town with a gas station.
It is said to be a small town, but in fact, it is a gathering area composed of some merchants who operate car tires, car repair, car washing, bars and other businesses. There is only one expensive gas station in the whole town, which is obviously run by a powerful person, otherwise it is impossible for others to give up the lucrative business of refueling, after all, it is close to Highway 40, and I don't know how many cars pass by in a day.
By the time we arrived in the town, it was already completely dark, and the stars and a bright moon hung in the sky, bringing a little light to the earth. Looking out the window in all directions, it was pitch black, and there was no light to be found except for the headlights.
Parking the RV in a vacant lot, the SUV took the motorcycle to the gas station on the north side of the town, filling both cars with gas, and Greon paid for the gas as a reward for carrying him here.
When the money was being paid, Dr. Astronomy, Eric Shavig, who had been resting in the RV, saw the money in Greer's wallet, frowned slightly, walked quickly to Jane's side, and whispered, "Jane, don't stay too far away from Thor, let Daisy take her stun gun well." β
"What's wrong?" Jane wondered if there was something wrong with the town.
Ariel glanced at Greel, who was choosing a zero, and said in a low voice, "The hundred-dollar bills in this kid's wallet are all old banknotes that are not easy to trace, and none of them are new. β
Jane turned her head and carefully looked at Greel, who came out with two packets of food and handed Daisy a packet, and said, "He's just a kid, and the money should have been given to him by his parents." β
"In such a desolate place, you'd better be carefulβ" Before Eric could finish his sentence, Thor suddenly turned around and looked out into the dark town, his eyes fierce like a predator looking for prey.
