Chapter 215: Delivering the Message (I)
At the top of Mount Everest, Taixu is still dressed as a dead fat house, but he doesn't feel cold at all.
Although the temperature here could freeze an ordinary person who was not tightly wrapped to death in three minutes, it was not a threat to him.
After shouting a few times at Heimdall using the 'stupid method' of Zhang Taibai's teaching, Taixu suddenly felt that he was being watched by a gaze from afar, and he immediately realized that this gaze was most likely from Asgard.
The owner of his gaze is most likely the gatekeeper of Asgard he just called, the number one henchman of God King Odin - Heimdall!
Taixu didn't have the ability to 'see' back, but he could feel that he was being watched.
He knew that Heimdall, who was far away in Asgard, should soon be in contact with him.
Sure enough, a moment later, Tai Xuan felt a familiar wave suddenly emerge in the void around him!
He immediately closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings with his mental power—
"Human mage, we meet again......" In the sense of the void, a phantom figure stood directly in front of him, and the appearance of the phantom was the black man in golden armor that he had seen at the end of the portal [Rainbow Bridge] in Asgard last time!
"Finally got in touch." Taixu breathed a sigh of relief.
With his years of experience dealing with Hell, he was not surprised by Heimdall's temporary projection, and if he was not mistaken, Heimdall's true form was still at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, guarding it.
However, the purpose of his call to Heimdall was not to see him, but to convey a message, whether it was a real body or a projection, it made no difference to him.
Speaking of which, this 'stupid method' was taught to him by Zhang Taibai.
Because Zhang Taibai knew that Heimdall's eyes were actually patrolling the 'Nine Great Kingdoms' all the time, and his ears were also listening to the hundreds of millions of voices of the 'Nine Great Kingdoms', but he couldn't observe and listen to all the locations at the same time.
However, when someone called his name, he could immediately notice them no matter where they were in the 'Nine Kingdoms'.
This is just the most basic instinct.
Even if an ordinary person is in a noisy environment and there are a lot of people talking around them, once someone calls their name, the brain will automatically filter out this voice that can attract attention.
An instinct that ordinary people have, Heimdall is no exception.
It's just that the scope of what he listens to is not the surroundings, but the entire 'Nine Kingdoms'.
When he hears the voice calling his name, he can quickly focus on the source of the voice and figure out who is calling him.
There was no way for the 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) side to contact Thor, and it was even more difficult to contact Asgard through other means, which was also the most straightforward way that Zhang Taibai could think of in a short time.
As it turned out, his approach worked.
"Human mage, did you contact me in this way, is there something going on on Earth?" Heimdall's projection looked in the direction of the void and asked him with his mind.
"Not bad!" Taixu immediately nodded and said, "The stakes are very high, I must inform Asgard as soon as possible...... Originally, I wanted to contact Thor, but he didn't seem to be on Earth, so I had to use this method......"
"Please." Heimdall waited for the next step of the void.
"My brother...... That is, my companion who was with me last time is now stranded on a small island, and there is a mysterious person on the island, who he suspects is the leader of the ancient dark elves that you Asgard have been wanting, Malekith! ”
"Malekith?!" Rao is Heimdall has always been overjoyed and angry, and when he heard this name, he still almost lost his temper, and even his voice was out of tune, "Are you sure you're talking about that Malekith?" ”
"Could it be that there are several Malekith who have been the leaders of the dark elves?" Taixu wondered.
"No, there is only one, and no one after him will dare to use that name......" Heimdall said solemnly.
Although he was older than Thor, Malekith was active thousands of years ago, when he was not even born, and naturally he had never met the legendary leader of the ancient dark elves.
By the time he was born, Malekith had been overturned by the previous god king of Asgard, Borgan, and had long since fled to the depths of the universe, never to appear in the star fields around the 'Nine Kingdoms' again, only occasionally some rumors of truth and falsehood would be transmitted back to Asgard.
Asgard has always kept the bounty on Malekith, which is why news has been coming back.
However, it is a pity that the vitality of this ancient dark elf leader is really tenacious enough, and he was able to escape by being blocked several times, but several famous god-king figures died at his hands.
This is only the god-king level.
The starry sky fleet that went to encircle him didn't know how much to get into, and many forces who wanted to exchange his head for a bounty would even pay out of their own pockets to increase the bounty, just to export their evil anger!
But the final result is still the same, I haven't heard of anyone who has a way to take him.
Heimdall's father was also the gatekeeper of Asgard, and his role was the same, except that his allegiance was to the former god-king Bor.
As a result, his father witnessed the period when Malekith unified the 'Nine Kingdoms'.
At a very young age, he had already heard the story of Malekith.
At that time, he did listen to the story, and it was a long time later, when he took over the position of gatekeeper, that he realized how incredible it was that Malekith had ruled the 'Nine Kingdoms' and overturned Asgard!
He never thought that the reason why the human mage in front of him called him was actually because of Malekis, and he also said that Malekith had secretly returned to the 'Nine Kingdoms' and was lurking on the earth at this time?
How is this possible?
How is this possible!
In just a moment, Heimdall's heart was already in turmoil!
The name Malekith represents a piece of Asgard's black history, and it is also a heaviness!
"Are you sure it's Malekith? No, it should be said, how did your brother determine that the mysterious figure was Malekith? When Malekith was active, you humans were still in the Stone Age, how could you possibly recognize him? Heimdall was somewhat unconvinced of the veracity of this information, or rather he was somewhat reluctant to believe that it was true.
"I don't know how he identified, brother, I'm just responsible for conveying this news to you, if you don't believe me, I can't do it...... But I think it's better to believe that this kind of thing is better than not believable, if Malekith really succeeds in reunifying the 'Nine Kingdoms', I'm not sure what the outcome of humanity will be, but you Asgard have caused him to be a lost dog for thousands of years, will he be soft on you? Tai Xuan pouted.
"The Dark Elves have been purged thousands of years ago, and it is unlikely that the rest of them pose much of a threat to Asgard...... Even if Malekith returned, he wouldn't have succeeded! Heimdall snapped.
"Who knows—" said the old man, "the reason why Malekith came back quietly seems to be to find something called Aether, and if he really wants to find it, even if Sol and his father come, it will be useless." ”
When Heimdall heard the word aether, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and his heart sank!
If he had wondered if these humans had known the name Malekith by hearsay, now he had no doubt at all.
Because even in Asgard today, not many people know about the 'aether particles', and they can count them on both hands.
Being able to know this name at least proves that the person who let the human mage in front of him convey the message is not unpurposeful, but really knows what happened thousands of years ago, and should know a lot about Malekith.
"Aren't you able to see all the Nine Realms, or if you look at the situation on that island, I'll tell you the coordinates." Seeing that Heimdall didn't speak for a long time, Taixu suggested.
"It's absolutely not." Heimdall decisively rejected the suggestion, shaking his head and saying, "If your information is true, and Malekith is really on that island, as long as my eyes notice it, he will immediately sense it, it's too risky...... Even if there is only a 1 in 100 or 1 thousandth chance, you can't take this risk......"
"Well, that's a bit out of place." Taixu also reacted.
"The stakes are high, I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty Odin, and ask His Majesty to decide what to do." Heimdall thought for a moment before making a decision, and at the same time expressed gratitude for the false notice.
As he just said, even if there is only a 1 percent chance that this thing is true, it should not be ignored!
With that, Heimdall's projection has disappeared over Mount Everest.
Taixu opened his eyes and said to himself, "Fury has also notified, Asgard has also notified, and the next thing is to notify a few fifth-level people on Earth...... Hmm, who should I start with? ”
After a few moments, Taixu, who had made up his mind, opened the portal again and stepped into it.
*************
Asgard.
Heimdall, who had regained consciousness, rushed to the direction of the palace as fast as he could!
About ten minutes later, Heimdall had already met the god-king Odin, and Thor, who was in his spiritual practice.
Heimdall quickly reported what had happened.
"Malekith really returned?!" After listening to Heimdall's relay, Thor blurted out.
Odin and Heimdall looked at Thor together, as they could hear what Thor was saying.
"Your Highness Thor, have you heard of this before?" Heimdall didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes, and the one who reminded me of this is the brother of the human mage who took the initiative to contact you Heimdall this time to deliver the news to us...... Actually, you've met both of them, father. Thor nodded.
"The same two humans who stumbled into Warerheim last time?" The one-eyed god king Odin asked thoughtfully.
"That's them."
"But how did they know in advance that Malekith might return to the 'Nine Kingdoms'? When did Midgard become more informed, than we in Asgard? God-King Odin questioned.
Thor: "I don't know much about this, but I've checked with someone afterwards, so it's not unlikely." ”
God-King Odin: "Have you found someone to check?" Who? ”
Hearing his father's inquiry, Soldton was a little embarrassed, but eventually told the truth: "Loki—"
"Do you believe what the rebel said?" God-King Odin snorted coldly.
"Father, although Loki often makes mistakes, what good is it for him to lie to me about this kind of thing?" Thor muttered, "And even you, father, probably can't deny that Loki does have a lot of information that we can't grasp......
"Humph! That's because the people he deals with are some notorious scum! God King Odin said coldly.
However, even if the god king Odin criticized Loki, he did not refute Thor's words.
Because Loki does have access to a lot of information that Asgard can't.
The 'Nine Great Kingdoms' led by Asgard are also considered to be one of the higher civilizations in the boundless universe.
Looking at the universe, there are actually not a few advanced civilizations like the 'Nine Great Kingdoms'.
Even there are many civilizations that are stronger than the 'Nine Kingdoms', and this still excludes people like the 'Celestial Gods' and 'Observers'...... and so on, these transcendent forces that are in the neutral camp.
The so-called camp, there is neutrality, and naturally there is a distinction between good and evil.
The 'Nine Great Kingdoms', on the whole, are neutral and partial to the righteous camp, not completely righteous, because there are also several countries in the 'Nine Great Kingdoms' that are partial to the evil camp, and the most typical example is the Haim Underworld!
Of course, the division of the neutral and righteous camp of the 'Nine Kingdoms' refers to the current 'Nine Kingdoms'.
Thousands of years ago, when the 'Nine Kingdoms' were ruled by Malekis, the 'Nine Kingdoms' at that time were not neutral and partial to the righteous camp, but a neutral and partial evil camp, and they were almost completely falling into the evil camp.
It wasn't until Borgan overturned Malekis and restored Asgard to his dominance that he changed back.
If you break down the 'Nine Kingdoms', Asgard is undoubtedly in the camp of justice.
However, Loki, the god son of Asgard, always likes to deal with people from the evil camp, like the Zetarians who were lured into the house by Loki last time and tried to invade the earth, which is a typical civilization of the evil camp.
'Thanos', the big boss behind the Zetari people, is the super boss who can rank in the top three in the entire evil camp!
Loki, a guy from the righteous camp, can get along with the people in the evil camp, I have to say that this is also a skill, and I don't know if it was the blood of the frost giant in his body that made him embark on this path. Because the kingdom to which the Frost Giants belong, Jotunheim, is itself neutral and evil.
But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Loki can break into the evil camp.
A lot of information that is only circulated in the evil camp and the dark world, Asgard may not know, but Loki can!
