Chapter 91: The God-King's Invitation
After the usual post-war summary, Lu Xiao once again recognized his strength.
With his enhanced attributes, combined with various skills and low-level secret arts, it shouldn't be a big problem to fight superheroes of the Winter Soldier and Captain America levels.
But in the face of powerful generals like Thor and Malekis, who master the gem of reality, Lu Xiao can only helplessly edge OB.
The accumulation of strength is not an overnight thing, before entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the system also clearly mentioned that the bonus of the novice period has expired, and random tasks with small rewards will no longer be released frequently.
Lu Xiao's system does not have the function of accumulating points to exchange powerful skills at one time, and the rewards given by the system are usually lotteries, and what can be drawn depends entirely on luck.
For example, in the A-level lottery opportunity obtained by completing the mission of Assassin's Creed World, Lu Xiao was "unlucky" to win the breath blocking without attack ability, and his own strength improvement was very limited.
…… However, the ability to survive has been further improved, before Malekith completely ignored Lu Xiao's existence because of the blockage of his breath, stared at Thor's hammer, and was finally caught by Lu Xiao hiding on the side.
The defeat of Malekith marked the complete failure of the final revenge counterattack of the dark elves, and under the leadership of the god king Odin, the dark elves who invaded Asgard were almost completely wiped out, and only a few were lucky enough to escape in small spaceships and wander in the vast universe.
The war ended, and Asgard began to clean up the gains and losses.
The technology and spells possessed by the dark elves were packed and taken away by Asgard 5,000 years ago, and there is very little to be gained from this group of remnants.
Thanks to the old and strong Odin who made arrangements in advance, the losses on the Asgardian side were not too serious.
The destruction of the Asgard Defensive Core can be rebuilt, and the Reality Gem that was taken by Malekith is reclaimed by Thor with the help of the Midgards.
The only thing that bothered Thor was Loki.
Taking advantage of the alliance between the army of dark elves and the cursed warriors, Loki, who should have been locked up in the dungeon, mysteriously disappeared.
Loki is known as the god of cunning and mischief, and his illusion spells are taught by the queen of gods Frigga herself.
The war was so chaotic that no one noticed when Loki escaped and where he went after that.
Unbeknownst to most of Asgard, the revered Queen of God, Frigga escaped mortal fate due to the flapping of her butterfly's wings, only to suffer some minor injuries in the chaotic battle that engulfed Asgard.
Due to the changes brought by Lu Xiao, Jane did not stay in Asgard for a long time, and the aether in her body, which served as a beacon to guide the direction of the dark elves' attack, was also taken out in advance.
Odin's private treasury is completely away from his bedroom, and the primary goal of the Cursed Warrior and Malekith in their invasion of Asgard is to reclaim the Aether, not to assassinate the Queen.
After the target was successful, they quickly evacuated the well-fortified Asgardian Asgard, and were bumped into by Thor and Odin on the way, and Odin intervened to stop the cursed warrior who burned his life force and gained a short period of powerful combat power, and Thor was responsible for pursuing Malekith to regain the aether.
Since the last mothership of the Dark Elves stayed in Asgard to help Malekith stall for time, only a few dagger-type small ships accidentally rushed into London, and the damage to Earth was not severe.
The Ancient One and the mystics blessed the cognitive impairment spell and quietly rescued the wounded buried in the ruins, and then drifted away without realizing it.
As a member of the London Temple, Lu Xiao continued to sit with Daniel in the Temple after the situation calmed down.
With this achievement, Daniel was finally officially appointed as the guardian mage of the London Temple.
Lu Xiao also received the approval of the Ancient One, allowing him to travel between the Three Temples and Kama Taj as a free man.
The master leads the way and practices in the individual.
Lu Xiao has already laid the foundation of a mystic master in this half a year, and then he needs to first choose a specialized spell school, and continue to make progress by himself, and Gu Yi will at most give him reminders and suggestions when he walks on a fork in the road.
There are not many types of spells that a low-level mystic can master, the most important of which is the teleportation spell that all mystics must learn when they get started.
There are countless spell books on Kama Taj, and there are also many spell schools that have been passed down for thousands of years, Lu Xiao has not yet decided which genre he wants to choose, so he can only put his choice aside for the time being, and leave it to make a choice after he has more experience and experience.
The end of 2013 was a spectacular one, and for a period of time, the Earth and Asgard were restored to peace.
At the beginning of 2014, Thor, who had taken care of the follow-up chores, fulfilled his promise and took the Rainbow Bridge to the London Temple, preparing to take Lu Xiao to Asgard, and then Heimdall to Nidavil, the home of the dwarves.
But before that, Lu Xiao got an unexpected invitation from Thor.
"Odin wants to see me?"
Lu Xiao looked at Thor in surprise: "Why?" I'm just a rookie mysticist, how could Odin know about me? ”
"Haha~ Of course I told him."
Thor laughed heartily and stretched out his powerful hand and patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder.
"Thanks to you and ...... With Jane's help, we were able to defeat Malekith and reclaim the Reality Gem. ”
By the way, Thor and Jane eventually broke up because of a long-distance relationship.
Jane couldn't accept that Thor was walking for years at a time, and that a few years were just a flick of a finger for Thor, and that Asgardians, who had thousands of years of life, had a completely different concept of time from humans.
But for Jane, her life could not repeat the years-long separation several more times, and after some calm discussions, the two finally decided to break up peacefully.
Although Thor is reluctant to part with Jane, he does have responsibilities that he cannot leave behind as the crown prince of Asgard, and Odin has always objected to his choice of a short-lived Midgardian as his partner.
More than a month has passed, and Thor seems to have shaken off the depression he had at the time of the breakup, with the same honest smile on his face: "Father originally planned to invite the Supreme Mage to Asgard for the celebration banquet, but ......"
Thor shrugged his shoulders: "You also know that this is impossible, the Supreme Mage has a heavy responsibility and will not leave the earth at will. ”
"Hmmm......"
Lu Xiao thought about it for a while, the opportunity is rare, and there are not many opportunities for mortals to go to Asgard.
In the end, he agreed to Thor...... Or Odin's invitation: "Okay, I'll leave as soon as I inform the Supreme Mage." ”
……
As Odin expected, the Ancient One had no interest in going to Asgard to participate in the celebration banquet, but she readily agreed that Lu Xiao would go to the core territory of the ruler of the Nine Realms to see the world and expand her horizons and knowledge.
Before leaving, Gu Yi left a meaningful reminder to Lu Xiao...... Or a warning?
"Lu Xiao, our five senses are easily blinded, what you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears, and even what you touch with your hands is not necessarily real, you have to learn to observe the world with your 'heart' and use your soul to identify people and things around you."
Gu Yi, who holds the gem of time, can see through the present, past and future, Lu Xiao speculated that she should have seen something in the countless timelines, and deliberately gave Lu Xiao a god-like warning before he went to Asgard.
Gu Yi is not one of those sloppy fortune tellers and so-called prophets in the West, there must be a reason why she deliberately said this passage, Lu Xiao was still thinking about the Supreme Mage's reminder in her mind when she was shrouded in the Rainbow Bridge.
'Real, blinded? ’
Touching his chin thoughtfully, thinking of the plot of Thor 3, Lu Xiao's eyes gradually showed a sudden look.
'Is it ...... Well, it seems that this is the only possibility that is possible. ’
