Chapter 224: The Wind Rises

"Old fool?"

"Sober?"

At first glance, Beckett was a little strange when he heard Hela associate these two words with Odin.

"Because of the peace deal?"

"Yes." Hela admits cheerfully.

The father she remembered was the overlord who swallowed mountains and rivers, the god king who raised her young to be an Asgardian executioner, not the coward who suddenly wanted to give up the hegemony of unification and stop playing.

Conquest for Asgard is a concept, or a dream, an ideal, that has been carved into Hela's bones by Odin himself for more than 20 years.

And Odin's decision to inform her after recalling her is undoubtedly a betrayal of ideals.

Hela thinks her father, Odin, must just be confused.

She, Hela Odinson, as the future heir of Asgard and the daughter of Odin, needs to use her practical actions to sober up the temporarily confused Odin and regain his ideas not long ago.

"So you want the Mind Gem?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Do you play a father-daughter filial piety with your father?"

Beckett stopped spinning the pen in his hand, and his brain, hollowed out by the review phrase, immediately found something that could stimulate his cerebral cortex.

"I'm too weak right now to serve my father's purpose."

"So, I need the Mind Gem, Beckett."

Hela said it very seriously.

Father Odin will go to Jotunheim tomorrow to negotiate the so-called peace treaty, and with her current strength, even if she makes trouble in the past, she will definitely not make any waves.

But if you have a Mind Gem, then everything is different.

The power given to her by the Soul Jewel on the planet Hala is there for all to see. Hela is confident that as long as she regains that power, she will be able to lead her army to awaken her father, who has been bewitched for some reason, and wipe his heart of expanding territory and achieving supreme hegemony clean and shiny.

"Sounds good." Beckett listened with relish.

"But I refuse."

The Mind Gem was technically the property of his adoptive father, Thanos, and was only temporarily deposited with him. Beckett felt that he was not qualified to lend the Mind Stone to Hela on behalf of Thanos.

What if I don't pay it back?

My father once said that it is necessary to guard against others.

Even if this Hela has been-

"Your review, I'll write it for you."

Before Beckett could speak, he was directly interrupted by Hela.

"What?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been locked up by your father for traveling to Hara Star and asked for a review, right?"

"Looking at the number of papers, it should still be ten."

Hela crouched down at the table, and the image passed through the sleeping orange cat's body, counting the number of papers, and affirmed.

"I'll write it for you, and you lend me the Soul Gem for a day."

"I just need one day."

Hela stood up and raised her right hand to indicate that her loan was short.

"I can guarantee that the writing is genuine, I know a person who is very experienced in this area."

"After a day, I will personally return the Mind Gem to you."

Beckett squinted, looking like he was thinking. The languid orange cat on the table yawned in his sleep, his paws rubbed his cheeks, rolled over and went back to sleep.

Sleep is its only pleasure in this barren place.

"We're comrades who have fought side by side, and this is the first time I've made a formal request to you, Beckett."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

At the same time, because of the last ghostwriting for Beckett, The?? Other, two species with completely different body structures and Woz, were now sitting under the same roof of Zetarex, sighing.

"His Royal Highness Beckett is already good at cultural classes, and Lord Thanos still needs ten articles, what can I do......" The big cake face of the robot cat Woz was full of sadness, and his usual cute facial features were almost wrinkled together, and The Other beside him was also worried.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Asgard, outside the king's palace.

After reaching an agreement with Beckett, Hela finally walked out of her dormitory on her own initiative. Friggia, who had been watching, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially after she saw that she had taken the initiative to order someone to cook dinner for her.

"Let Kiel Martha come and see me, now."

After dinner, Hela began the first step of her "Sober Project".

Let one of his most trusted men, Kiel Martha, come and meet him.

Or rather, a former subordinate.

Since the Dark Elf King Malekith was beheaded by Thanos, Kiel Martha, as the leader of the Watt Alheim garrison, was promoted by Odin to the rank of general of the defending side.

The kind with heavy troops.

Thirteen minutes later, Hela's bedchamber.

"Your Highness Hela."

Although he is no longer Hela's aide-de-camp, Kiel Martha still has a lot of respect for Hela in his heart.

"Martha, take your army and leave for Jotunheim tomorrow." Hela's attitude towards Martha has not changed in any way because of his position.

"Jotunheim?" The man who heard the words was stunned, unable to figure out what Hela was thinking.

"Your Highness Hela, the king will ask for tomorrow—"

"Martha, I ask you, do you want this humiliating peace?" Hela mercilessly interrupted the former adjutant's doubts.

The questions thrown go straight to the core.

"Your Highness Hela......" Martha opened her mouth, looked at the woman in front of her in a daze, and couldn't say the next word for a long time.

He vaguely sensed what Hela was trying to do, and cold sweat unconsciously oozes out.

"Don't worry, I just want my father to sober up, and I want him to abandon this unrealistic idea and become the supreme king again."

She wants to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the army to capture the hard bone of Jotunheim in one fell swoop with the power of the Soul Gem.

After the capture of Jotunheim, she was confident that her father would be able to return to normal.

"I don't think you're going to turn me down, are you?"

"Of course, Your Highness Hela. Marks & Spencer will always be your most loyal lieutenant, forever! ”

Impressed by Hela's vision, Martha, who already had an opinion about Odin's sudden assertion of peace, fell to one knee and offered her loyalty.

In this regard, he borrowed from The Other, which had several faces.

"Go get ready."

Hela couldn't deny it, waved away the hologram in front of her, and then walked to the station where her own guards were located.

"Peace in Asgard is fought. Father, this is what you once taught me, why do you suddenly forget it now? ”

Under the stars of Asgard, Hela's murmur drifted away in the wind.

"Thor, what are you looking at on the roof?"

"Nothing, just want to see two thousand years of Asgard, that's all." Looking up at the starry sky, Thor raised his bottle to the raccoon under the eaves, squinting to feel the wind blowing across his face.

Asgard, the wind is blowing.
