Chapter 520: Welcome to Asgard
After crossing the wormhole of the Rainbow Bridge and jumping in space to Asgard, it was Thor, the god of thunder, who came to greet Michael and Wanda first. This hammer brother was full of energy at this moment, and with his war hammer in his hand, he flew out of the shuttle's window and waved warmly to the two, as if he had come to greet an old friend who had not seen him for many years.
This is also the embodiment of the cheerful character of the Asgardian people. In fact, the relationship between Michael and Thor was a little tense in the past, although it was not a contradiction to say that they had a small holiday, but it was clear that they were not close friends.
But that's no longer the case. After experiencing the war with the Great Snake on Earth, in Thor's eyes, the Black Knight is already a buddy who has fought with a gun, in other words, a lifelong friendship. In addition, when he returned to the Asgardian Palace, he woke up and heard that it was the earthling named the Black Knight who defeated the Great Serpent after he fell, and gave the Great Snake the final blow. And in that instant, the powerful spell that had bound Thor and the Great Serpent with prophecy was broken, and for the first time in his life, Thor was set free from the prophecy of mortality.
Not only Thor, but most of Asgard saw this as a debt they owed to the Black Knight. The shackles of fate were broken, they were liberated from it for the first time, and the entire Asgardian Protoss ushered in a new beginning.
Although I had already learned a lot about Asgard, I was still a little nervous about coming to the exotic Wanda for the first time. As if to see her uneasiness, Michael patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, we're VIPs here." ”
Wanda glanced at him, seemed to feel a lot more relieved, and nodded.
Nothing to be nervous about. Her boyfriend is a guy who rushes into the alien base camp alone to negotiate terms, and there is nothing to fear from following him even if he goes to the end of the universe.
Shuttle descended to the palace under Thor's lead, and Odin was already waiting here with his cronies. Wanda was even a little frightened when she jumped off the plane - the battle in Asgard to greet the team was a bit scary. Odin's old man felt like he had pulled out the guard of honor of the whole palace, and that row of faces seemed to be preparing to welcome the leaders of other countries.
After thinking about it again, Wanda felt that for the Asgard side, they were really greeting the leaders of other countries......
Thor landed from the air, and he greeted them warmly as soon as the two stepped off the plane.
"Long time no see, my friend."
"Thor." Michael looked at him for a moment, "You look good, even better than before." Looks like he's recovering well. ”
Thor laughed, "If you are lucky enough to be able to get rid of the fate that has plagued you for fifteen hundred years since birth, I believe you will also be a hundred times more energetic." Speaking of which, I've heard that it's all thanks to you, you're stronger than I thought, Black Knight, and I never thought anyone other than me could slay the serpent and break this prophecy. This is what I owe you. ”
Michael shook his head: "You don't owe me anything. The serpent tried to destroy the earth, so I brought it down, it's as simple as that. ”
"It may be that simple for you, but not for Asgard." Thor said, turning around, "Come, come and meet the others and Father, everyone has always wanted to see you." ”
So they entered the hall and came to Odin and the Asgardian warriors.
"I've been waiting for you to visit, leader of the earth." Odin said, "I knew you were always coming sooner or later. ”
Compared with the last time we met, the old man's attitude seemed to be much better, and the whole impression was much kinder. Maybe it was really his son who was rescued from his mortal fate and made him change.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Heavenly Father." Michael looked at the old man calmly, "It's just that I'm not a leader, I'm just an ordinary member of the human race." ”
Odin didn't refute, but his expression was clear and he didn't believe it. They ignore the bureaucracy on Earth, and they don't even think about the countries and governments that mankind has divided themselves. The Asgardians believe in strength the most, and in their opinion, the Black Knight is obviously the pinnacle of the earthlings' combat power.
Moreover, Asgard also knows better than most earthlings who is the true guardian of the current earth. If Odin wants to communicate and dialogue with the earth, he must choose the most vocal human, then he will definitely choose Michael.
"Come on, let's have a good talk." Odin said, turning behind him, "Sif arrange a rest for another guest." ”
The heroic female warrior Sif stepped forward and bowed down.
Michael patted Wanda on the shoulder: "You go with them first, I'll have a little chat with this Heavenly Father, and I'll go to you in a while." ”
Wanda nodded obediently and followed Sif out of the hall.
Wanda didn't squeak the whole time, and the unfamiliar environment made her feel uncomfortable. She has the feeling that she is now a "representative of humanity", as if her every move now represents all of humanity, so she must be extremely careful not to disgrace her compatriots.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Sif suddenly turned his head to look at her: "So, are you his woman?" ”
Wanda was caught off guard by this question: "What? I'm not...... Oh, I mean...... Well, I'm his girlfriend, but ......"
Sif smiled, "You know I've been wondering what kind of woman it takes to be worthy of such a good fighter. ”
Wanda raised her eyebrows, feeling a little confused. The Asgardian brain circuits kept her from keeping up for a while......
Sif looked at Wanda carefully, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, but do you have any special skills?" Or something special? ”
Wanda was a little upset. What does that mean? Do you think that I am not good-looking and have no special skills, and I must not be worthy of him?
In fact, this is a cultural difference. In Sif opinion, since Wanda is the female ticket of a powerful warrior like the Black Knight, even if her combat power is worse than him, she must not be too far behind. It's just that Wanda's shape looks delicate in the eyes of the Asgardians, and it doesn't look like it's very capable of fighting, so Sif asked out of pure curiosity.
But Wanda thought that she was on someone else's territory after all, and it was not easy to have a seizure when she first arrived, so she only shook her head: "No, I don't have any special skills, I'm just an ordinary earthling." ”
Yes, it's just an ordinary earthling, the kind that can create things out of thin air with an ordinary wave of his hand......
