Chapter 480: Loki's Condition
Loki was thrown into a dungeon for impersonating the God King, which is a serious crime, and if it weren't for Friggia's activities, it would not be surprising that Loki would have been sentenced to death.
"Smack~Slap~"
In a rather elegantly furnished solitary cell, Loki was boredomly tossing a thick book up and down, with dozens of books with quaint covers stacked next to him.
These books were sent by Frigga to give Loki something to do in the midst of a boring prison.
Loki had read most of the books, and the remaining few were of interest to him, which contained a lot of allusions to brothers, brothers, brothers, fathers, and sons.
"Dada~"
The crisp sound of footsteps coming from the dungeon door made Loki's ears prick up.
He knew the footsteps of the dungeon guards by heart, and the tinkers were always clattering when they walked, and they couldn't be such soft sounds.
'Someone came to visit me? ’
Before Loki, who was half-lying on the ground, could come back to his senses, the footsteps had stopped in front of his cell.
"Ah~"
After seeing the person clearly, Loki had an elegant smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with a complex and incomprehensible look.
"Look who this is, His Royal Highness Thor, Crown Prince of Asgard, and my dear mother, Queen Friggia, you are finally willing to come to see me in your real body."
In the past, Frigga had used illusion spells to send books to Loki, but this time it was different, both of them were real people.
"So?"
Loki stood up from the ground and looked at the two of them with a wicked smile on his face: "What do you two of you want to find me, a prisoner?" It can't be a kindness that wants to let me go, right? ”
Loki's words with a gun and a stick made Thor's forehead bruise, but he wasn't the protagonist today.
Forcibly holding back his anger, Thor said sullenly: "The person who is looking for you is not us, the queen mother and I are just passing by to have a look." ”
"Oh?"
Loki asked with a little curiosity, "Who is looking for me?" I don't think anyone would risk offending Asgard to visit me in the dungeon. ”
"Your attention is so focused on Thor and the Queen of God that I can't see it even from your side?"
The sudden soft voice of words from his side made Loki's hair stand on end, and he subconsciously jumped up from the ground and jumped backwards.
The voice seemed to sound in his ears just now, but in fact the person who spoke was separated from him by a wall.
Asgard's prison cells look very technological, and all the prisoners can be clearly seen through the translucent energy wall, but they struggle to break through the impregnable defenses.
The Cursed Warrior of the Dark Elves is a rule-breaking being that relies on burning life force to gain great power in a short period of time.
Without their explosive assault, it would have been impossible to break through Asgard's specially designed prison walls.
Lu Xiao came to persuade Loki today, instead of smashing the field for Asgard, of course he would not rashly break through the energy protection wall, but used special spell skills to directly send words to Loki's ear, which scared him coldly.
Frigga glanced at Lu Xiao deeply, and she was proficient in spells, and she felt a flash of mana fluctuations from Lu Xiao's body.
'I can actually cast spells at a speed that I can't even detect, and the afterlife is terrifying, and he is worthy of being the heir of the Supreme Mage chosen by the Ancient One. ’
Shocked into a cold sweat, Loki finally saw the person who spoke clearly, and the familiar hooded dress made a flash of anger in his eyes.
"It turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for a while, and your magic attainments have improved a lot, I admit that you scared me."
The spell skills passed down from Frigga are one of Loki's most important reliance, and the reason why Lu Xiao deliberately wants to scare Loki is mainly to give him a dismount, so that he knows that his three-legged cat kung fu will not work in front of him.
Pretending to be calm and sitting back on the ground, Loki asked cynically, "So you want to find me, let me guess, you want to know about Thanos through me?" ”
The god of mischief doesn't focus on one thing most of the time, but just like Thor says about him, Loki has a talent for both strategy and combat.
Taking off his hood, Lu Xiao looked at Loki face to face.
Loki had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he looked very vigilant when he looked at Lu Xiao.
This is also inevitable, the reason why he was thrown into the dungeon, Lu Xiao, who exposed his disguised identity, played the most crucial role.
was cheated once, Loki didn't want to be calculated by Lu Xiao for the second time, which was undoubtedly a shame for him, who claimed to be the god of trickery.
"Half of the answer is correct."
Lu Xiao smiled and explained, "I do want to get information about Thanos from you, but this is not the main purpose of my coming to the dungeon to see you. ”
Signaling to Frigga with her eyes, the queen clapped her hands knowingly, and an invisible barrier rose near Loki's cell, and the sound inside could not spill out of the barrier.
Loki's brow furrowed, such a high-level intelligence protection gave him a bad premonition in his heart.
After the preparations were completed, Lu Xiao began to get to the point: "Loki, the Queen of God said that you have read a lot of books, have you ever heard of Hela, the god of death?" ”
"Hela?"
Loki asked rhetorically, "I've read about the Grim Reaper in Asgardian myths and legends, but none of the books explicitly mention the name of the Grim Reaper. ”
"Death's name Hela? And he's a huge threat to Asgard, that's why you think of coming to me for help, or ...... Acting as cannon fodder? ”
It has to be said that Loki is indeed smart in a state of concentration, but his intelligence often cannot be maintained, and he will soon turn his attention elsewhere.
Lu Xiao spread his hands and said, "Although I want to say that you have paranoia about being killed, if the situation really reaches a point where it is difficult for us to control...... Yes, you will be prioritized as a sacrifice. ”
Loki tilted his head and smiled disapprerovingly: "I'm starting to like you, at least you won't be like some messengers of justice, full of benevolence and morality, casually making false promises that you can't do." ”
Thor, who was scraped by AOE, opened his eyes wide, stepped forward and smashed his fist against the barrier: "Loki! You ......"
"Thor."
Frigga pulled a frustrated Thor: "Don't interject, let them talk." ”
"I can help you."
Loki asked calmly, "But what can I get from it?" ”
"Pardon your crimes?"
"Not enough."
Loki bargained: "I don't know how strong Hela really is, but if he can force Thor and his mother to come to ask for help, the harm he will bring to Asgard must be devastating." ”
"If you want me to work hard, at least give me a reward of equal value, and it is definitely not enough to restore my freedom."
"So what's that?"
Frigga interjected and assured, "As long as you help Asgard through Hela's crisis, I can restore your status and power as Prince of Asgard." ”
Thor turned his head in astonishment: "Queen Mother?!" ”
Loki had a wicked smile on his face, and he looked at Frigga with deep meaning: "Including the inheritance that I should have but was stripped away by Odin?" ”
"Yes."
Frigga pressed Thor and promised with a calm expression, "As long as you are more recognized by the people of Asgard than Thor, it is not impossible to elect you king." ”
