Chapter 124: The Frost Box
"As a long-lived Protoss, what do you think about children?"
After looking around, Diana turned her head and asked Loki who was standing next to her, and the only one who was in the most similar situation to her was Loki as an Asgardian Protoss. And Loki is old enough to live for more than a thousand years, and his situation is more informative for him.
"Whatever it is. β
Loki is very proud of his identity as a Protoss, and often treats ordinary people with the same attitude as ants, but this scope definitely does not include Diana, who can easily beat him into a pig's head and is also a Protoss.
Loki himself can't really give much advice on Diana's question, he can only give some thoughts from most Asgardians.
If you have it, you have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
They live a long life, and their prime of life lasts for a long time, and there are many opportunities to have children, even if they don't have them for a while, they won't force them too much.
Diana nodded, this kind of idea is very suitable for their long-lived existence, but now Diana is a big girl in her twenties, she only asked out of curiosity, and she didn't think about having a child or anything soon.
So the conversation quickly shifted to something else.
Through this scene of breakfast, Serena and Loki had a preliminary understanding of the situation on this ship, and also roughly knew the situation of this world.
Ethan gave Serena the improved study tool, explained how to use it, and asked her to use it on her own so that she could learn the language and general situation of the world, and also introduced the situation on her ship to Loki and Serena.
"Although it looks like a very backward sailing ship, some infrastructure can still meet some basic living needs. β
There are all kinds of living utensils such as automatic water supply and lighting, and although the magic stone equipment is quite novel, it is not much more troublesome to use than technological equipment, although Loki still complains about 'backward technology', but it is still a sigh of relief to see that there is no need to live on a really primitive and backward sailing ship.
The Aurora also has a lot of tech items that Ethan brought back from the Marvel Universe, and it's hard to say anything else, but a tablet can still be guaranteed to be supplied per person.
"It's a pity that there is no internet. β
For this little regret, the few people present didn't care very much, and the only thing they cared about was sleeping in their cabin.
After introducing the situation on the ship, Ethan also introduced the situation of the crew members on the ship.
Logan, the titular first mate, was actually the only previous crew member on the ship, and Laura was just an add-on, an ornament. She can't be considered a full-fledged crew member until she grows up, and both Ethan and Logan feel that all she has to do is enjoy her childhood.
As a mutant, Logan has a strong self-healing ability, almost any damage can kill him, and he can also rely on his immortal body to take a life-fighting style to inflict heavy damage on the enemy or even kill them directly.
When he heard Logan's ability, even Loki, who didn't look at 'ordinary people' very much, felt his eyelids jump, he didn't expect this strong man who looked a little decadent to have such a strong ability.
Maybe he can't really hurt himself, but relying on his immortal body, he can completely entangle himself, and then let Ethan calmly use all kinds of means against himself.
He had already judged that even if Diana made it clear that she would leave here and return to her own world, it didn't mean that he, Loki, could do whatever he wanted on this ship.
Later, Diana also gave a brief introduction, Serena already knew that Diana was a demigod, and the daughter of the legendary Zeus, and she had no more ideas except that the world seemed to be a little crazy.
After all, she herself is not a normal person in the eyes of many ordinary people, and vampires are also legendary creatures. Of course, compared with the Protoss, the grade is much worse.
Loki is also a Protoss, but his identity is a little more complicated.
His father is Odin, but Odin is only an adoptive father, so Loki's true bloodline should be the Frost Giant of Jotunheim. But he grew up in Asgard since he was a child, accepted the knowledge inheritance of the Aesir Protoss, and became the strongest mage in the entire Asgard except for the god king Odin and the god queen Friga.
Thanks to the bloodline of the Frost Giant, his own physical fitness is also very strong, his strength, speed and reflexes are far superior to Logan's, and because of the long years of fighting and honing his skilled and exquisite combat skills, it can be said that Loki's comprehensive strength is very strong.
"By the way, is the Frost Box still in your hands?"
The Frost Crate is a treasure of the Frost Giant, which has been kept in the treasure vault of Asgard for a long time. In the first plot of Thor, this treasure was stolen by Loki, and with the character of this guy, even if he was caught many times, he would not obediently put this thing back.
"Do you have an idea about the Frost Box? I advise you to give up this idea, as you have no control over it with your current strength. β
Loki wasn't taunting Ethan, he was just stating a fact.
The Frost Crate is different from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which is a truly ownerless treasure that anyone can use well as long as they find the right way.
In contrast, the Frost Crate has a certain 'entry' threshold, that is, you must have the blood of the Frost Giant in order to be able to use its power.
If an ordinary person recklessly wants to use the Frost Box, then the ultimate consequence is to be frozen by the powerful power within.
"I was just estimating your current combat power, and I didn't want to use your ability, but you told me that it had been confiscated by the God King. β
Loki looked at Ethan, his hands twisted lightly in front of him, and then a square box emitting a faint blue light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The moment the Frost Box appeared, everyone felt that the temperature began to get colder, and Loki, who controlled the Frost Box floating in front of him, changed his whole appearance: his body turned pale blue, and his eyes emitted a strange red light.
As Loki slid his hands again, the frost box vanished, and the sudden drop in temperature was like an illusion for a moment, and the warm sea breeze still blew on his body with a hint of saltiness.
Loki's appearance has also returned to its previous appearance, and the shape with blue and red eyes is really not very good-looking.
"You should have felt the power of the Frost Box. β
Ethan did feel the power of the Frost Box, perhaps the energy contained in the Frost Box was far less than the almost infinite in the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but the energy in the Frost Box was purer and more violent, and it was more suitable to be used as a 'weapon' - of course, it could also be used as pure energy, as long as you were confident that you could perfectly control the power of this violent frost.
"It's a lot of power. β
Looking up at Loki, this thing should be Loki's most powerful hole card, but Ethan can be sure that Loki can't control the power of the Frost Box at all.
"How much power can you use it?"
In Ethan's opinion, Loki can't exert his power at all, not even a percent, and can only barely use a little bit of strength.
In the original plot, Loki only used the Frost Box once, and the Frost Box that disappeared in a flash was almost unclear, and at the same time, it did not kill Heimdall completely, except that Loki may not want to kill Heimdall, it is very likely that he can't really exert the true power of this treasure at all.
At least Loki didn't use this treasure once in the future, and who knows if this guy forgot that he still had it?
Loki kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, clearly not wanting to answer Ethan's question. However, his attitude was equivalent to answering Ethan's question, that is, he simply could not use the full power of the Frost Box.
"I was thinking about what power is suitable for you, but I found that the biggest treasure is around you, why don't you try to completely control the power of the Frost Box?"
Loki was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it. In his impression, the Frost Box is a powerful treasure, and then the power that meets the requirements can be used, and the amount of power that can be used depends on his own strength and whether it meets the 'requirements' of the Frost Box.
He had always thought that he was unable to wield the power of the Frost Crate because he was not a true Frost Giant, and that he had grown up in Asgard and had been based on Asgard's spells did not meet the requirements of the Frost Crate.
However, he overlooked that the most powerful thing about the Frost Crate was the energy it containedβfor mages, it could be used as long as it was energy.
He hadn't thought about it before, it was completely caused by inertial thinking, and after Ethan brought it up as a complete outsider, he began to think about the possibilities.
"The energy contained in the Frost Crate is too violent to be controlled by my magic. β
"There is no energy that cannot be controlled, and not being able to do it only proves that you have not found the right way. "Ethan may not be as strong as Loki, but he knows a lot of messy theories, and he has Merlin's inheritance knowledge as a backing, so he firmly believes that as long as it is energy, it can be used, and the difference is only in the degree of difficulty.
For example, the energy attributes in the Frost Box are more extreme, and among the many energies, it is not easy to control. Ethan happens to know several of these extreme energies.
Ethan made a similar movement as Loki, his hands resting on his heart, and with his movements, a cloud of yellow energy floated out from his heart, and finally condensed into a ball of light between Ethan's hands.
"It's called energy that is also not easy to control, but it's hard not to say it can't. β
