During the journey to the Golden Palace by Tianzhou, Lu Xiao could see a panoramic view of Asgard from high in the sky.

At least on the surface, Odin's death did not fundamentally change Asgard, and many residents still celebrated the victory of Hela with banquets, which can be regarded as a traditional performance after Asgard's victory.

The biggest change is at the entrance of the Golden Palace, in front of which two majestic statues are being built opposite each other, and judging from the iconic one-eyed, it is supposed to be built in honor of the former king Odin.

The defensive barrier of the Golden Palace had already returned to normal, and Lu Xiao descended to the square in front of the palace under the guidance of the palace guards.

It was not the first time Lu Xiao had come to Asgard, and some of the Golden Palace guards quickly recognized him, and hurriedly sent someone into the palace to inform Thor, who was busy with his work.

When Lu Xiao saw Thor again, his dress was very different from usual.

In the past, Thor would always wear Asgardian armor, but now he wears a very ornate Asgardian gown, and holds in his left hand the sharpshooter Gungnir, inherited from Odin.

"Lu, my friend, welcome to Asgard."

Temporarily handing over Gangnir to the guards on the side, Thor opened his hands as usual and gave Lu Xiao a warm hug.

Lu Xiao smiled and patted his back: "Look at your outfit...... Isn't it already the heir to the throne? ”

"No, not yet."

After bringing Lu Xiao into the Golden Palace, Thor briefly explained to him the current situation of Asgard.

"After we brought Hela back for burial, the Queen Mother kept her promise to Loki and reinstated him as the second Asgard...... No, the status and power of the third prince. ”

"According to Asgardian tradition, each generation of kings is appointed by the previous king."

"In order to reassure Loki, the queen mother made an exception to collect opinions from the people of Asgard by referring to Midgard's method of election."

"The end result...... You should have guessed it too. ”

Thor smiled bitterly and looked at Gungnir in his hand: "Loki was going to play tricks during the voting process, and after being discovered by his mother, he was temporarily locked up, and I won the election by an overwhelming margin. ”

This result was a no-brainer, and Thor had been made crown prince by Odin many years earlier.

While his early recklessness and belligerence were a major headache for Odin and Friggya, it was not a fatal flaw for the martial Asgardians.

In contrast, Loki, who likes to play tricks, has a hard time winning the hearts and minds of the people of Asgard.

It's not about his Frost Giant background, it's just that his style of doing things doesn't match the folk of Asgard.

Defeated with dignity, Loki reluctantly accepted the ending, although he was still dissatisfied.

But that's not the end of the story.

Frigga knew that Thor didn't like to use his brain, his muscles always moved before his brain, and he lacked the city government and in-depth consideration in major matters.

The Queen of God Friga is not too young, and sooner or later she will follow Odin back to the arms of her ancestors.

For the sake of Asgard's future, Frigga kept Loki, who was about to leave, and persuaded him to serve as Thor's advisor.

Thor didn't really have much interest in the Asgardian throne, but only took the position out of a sense of duty.

Loki is the same, he only seeks the throne in the hope of being treated the same as Thor, hoping to be recognized by others, and he is not really obsessed with the position itself.

It can be seen from the plot of Thor 3 that after Loki, who pretended to be Odin, took the throne, he quickly slacked off without supervision, and only knew the pleasures of spending all day long, and did not care about state affairs at all.

In Asgard's new generation, Thor's combat effectiveness is unmatched, and in the foreseeable future, he should have further growth after initially mastering the power of thunder and lightning.

Loki is far inferior in combat power, but he can play well with Thor's weakest schemes.

If the two brothers can work together, Frigga will have a good eye on Asgard's future.

Thor also doesn't know how Frigga persuaded Loki, and eventually agrees to stay and assist Thor in managing state affairs as the Shadow King.

"That's right."

Lu Xiao pointed to the Gungnir in Thor's hand: "Have you learned how to use it?" ”

Thor shook his head with a bitter face and said, "No, I always feel that this weapon is not suitable for me." ”

"My mother suggested that I use Gungnir as a ritual symbol and find an opportunity to go to Nidavile to order a new weapon from Atrie."

Thor had already begun to grasp the essence of Raiden Divine Power, but the combat efficiency of his hands alone could not satisfy him, and a new weapon was still necessary.

"Exactly."

Lu Xiao patted Thor's arm: "This time, I just stopped by Asgard to see you, and after the visit, I plan to go to Nidaweile to discuss things with Atri, why don't you come along?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Tormo rubbed his chin and thought about it for a moment: "Let me ask the queen mother first, Asgard is preparing for the enthronement ceremony recently, I don't know if I can spare time." ”

……

When Loki was seen again, the three princes of Asgard, who had always been cynical, appeared to be in a rare seriousness, reviewing the papers submitted by the ministers in the council hall on behalf of Thor, who was out.

Thor didn't disturb Loki's work, greeted him with his eyes, and led Lu Xiao into the inner hall of the Golden Palace, where the queen Frigga was drinking tea and watching the scenery in the garden.

"I'm okay with that."

Thor's request was met with a cheerful reply from Friggia, "Since you're not used to Gungnir, it's important to craft a suitable weapon as soon as possible. ”

"Go ahead, Loki and I will take care of your state affairs for the time being, and when you return from Nidavel, it will almost be time for the official enthronement ceremony."

With his mother's approval, Thor handed over Gungnir to her for safekeeping without saying a word, changed into a familiar set of armor and set off with Lu Xiao to Nidaville.

The home of the dwarves, Nidavel, is a giant ringed city that uses the inner cores of planets as a forge, and the ultra-high temperatures allow the dwarves to smelt all the metal materials in the universe.

Ai Cui's appearance has not changed from the last time Lu Xiao was separated from him, his face is still stained with a lot of black ash, and his hands are still wearing thick heat-insulating gloves, and he is operating the furnace to forge some kind of weapon.

"It's been a long time, I remember your name is Lu, right?"

"Dwarf" Wang Aicui walked up to Lu Xiao enthusiastically, stretched out his big hand and patted Lu Xiao's shoulder, his height of more than 5 meters was full of oppression.

"Thor, you haven't been here for a long time, I've heard some rumors lately, Odin he ......"

Thor didn't shy away from Attri's question, and nodded honestly in affirmation: "Yes, the father of the gods has returned to heaven, and I will take over the throne in the near future." ”

"Really......"

Atrei sighed: "It's almost time to calculate, even if they are called gods, there is a limit to the lifespan of Asgardians." ”

Shaking his head, Atrie put aside the sad topic: "Don't talk about this, what are you doing here in Nidavile this time?" It wasn't just to invite me to the enthronement ceremony, right? ”

"Of course not."

Thor places the Quake fragments collected after the Battle of Hela on the forge table in front of Trery.

The corners of Ari's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he recognized the material of these fragments: "This is ...... Mjörnir? How did it come to this? ”
