30. Fraudsters flee
Asgard is a monarchy, although it has advanced civilization and technology, but since it is a monarchy, it must retain some characteristics that belong to this form of government, such as the king will live in the royal palace, such as the royal family has privileges, such as... The king's terrifying cage.
Of course, the Asgardians are a cosmic civilization, and they have many ways to get the information they need from their prisoners, and torture has long been a non-existent thing, but the people who can be locked up in Odin's cell are indeed notorious and dangerous people from the Nine Kingdoms.
For example, the remnants of the dark elves in the deepest cages, the mad gnome engineers, the revenant warriors of the land of the dead, the war criminals and the most heinous slaughterers from various planets, and some criminals within Asgard himself... Don't underestimate them, when an Asgardian with divine powers and a 5,000-year-old lifespan is about to commit a crime, the harm he can do is definitely much more terrible than that of ordinary people.
Recently, though, a terrible man has come to this cage from which almost no one has ever actually escaped.
"Loki, my brother, are you going to keep fighting us like this?"
Thor stood in front of the yellow wall of seals, as if through glass, looking at Loki who was sitting leisurely in the cell looking at a book, compared to the sadness and sadness on Thor's face, the second prince in the cage was elegant like a real galactic nobleman, compared to other prisoners, Loki was more or less preferential, he had a set of tables and chairs and a decent bed, some books he specifically asked to take to relieve boredom, and other than that, there was nothing in the cell.
Faced with Thor's question, Loki looked at the extremely boring "A Brief History of Asgard" in his hand, as if he was enjoying it, this kind of uncooperative and unangry way of coping made Saul look ugly.
It wasn't until Thor's anger could no longer be suppressed that Loki suddenly raised his head, and he looked at his brother:
"Has the new king come to inspect his prisoners, or are you ready to exercise your authority now and execute me right here, so that a rebel who murdered his family may die in a cage?"
"Bastard! How could you think like that!"
Thor's voice became irritable, and he stared at Loki and shouted, "You bastard, you broke your mother's heart!"
"She's not my mother!"
The peaceful Loki suddenly became furious at this moment, the book in his hand was smashed against the yellow light curtain in front of him, and his originally calm face flashed like a crazy look, like a truly enraged beast, grinning at Thor outside the cage:
"You don't know anything! Thor, you don't know anything! Lies! It's all lies, you don't want to deceive me again!"
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Thor's eyes widened, he looked at the imprisoned Loki, he showed an expression of disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know why you have to kill me and lure the frost giants into Asgard, but! Loki, the wrong things you did can't change your mother's love for you, she has repeatedly begged her father or else you are now exiled, even... You should apologize to her!"
"Oh, apologize?"
Loki's expression turned sarcastic again, and he played with his fingers and asked, "In what name should I apologize? Saul Odinson, in what name should I apologize to the great diva Friga?"
"You are her son, you are my brother, the son of Odin!"
"We have the same blood flowing in our bodies, no matter how many wrong things you do, you can't..."
His words were quickly interrupted, as Thor saw the change in Loki's body, and he still had that mocking smile on his face, but his skin slowly changed from an Asgardian complexion to a dark blue similar to the ice of the deep sea, and there were three special dark red insignia on his forehead, and Thor couldn't have mistaken the emblem.
Is that... The symbol of the Frost Giants nobles.
"Is it true that we have the same blood flowing in our bodies?"
Loki's voice became tactful and sarcastic, and he chuckled, "Are you really sure of this? Thor, do you really know everything that happened to me? Do you think I'm just going to kill you because I'm jealous of you?
With heavy shackles on his hands, he stretched out his fingers with difficulty, and his upper body deflected forward, pointing through the pale yellow light curtain at Thor who was pale and slowly retreating.
"Me and you... It's never been the same! From the beginning, it's not the same!"
Loki saw the shock and confusion in Thor's eyes, he saw it as a mockery and contempt for himself, he didn't defend anything, he just waved his hand, came back to his senses, sat back in his chair, picked up another book and read it.
"Go back, King Thor of Asgard, and the next time you show your mercy, don't forget to get the truth straight, you see, I don't need your mercy at all, I've been your enemy from the beginning, I have to be worthy of my blood, don't I?"
"It shouldn't be like this!
Thor took a few steps back in despair, the scene in front of him was too terrifying, so that his big heart couldn't stand it, he took a deep breath, took a step back again, looked at Loki's back, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just quietly turned his head, turned around and walked out of the cell, hearing Thor's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Loki's handsome face was expressionless, he was like a person who was really addicted to reading, no longer paying attention to everything around him.
However, at the moment when his fingers turned a new page of the "Geography of the Nine Kingdoms" in front of him, Loki's brows suddenly furrowed.
Because the text on this page is wrong!
As a real scholar from childhood to adulthood, the boring planet geography book in front of Loki is like a stream of remorse, but the words that appear in front of him now are all things he has never seen, and just when he concentrates on looking, the words in front of him suddenly have a strange shift, just like the black ants on the ground running around in some kind of disturbance, and the words on the pages in front of him also began to distort, reorganized, and finally reorganized into another sentence in Loki's eyes.
"Fraudster, you have no way out?"
Seeing this title, Loki took a deep breath, he knew who was responsible for this weirdness, because in his memory, there was only one one who called him a fraudster.
He thought for a moment, stretched out his hand, and wrote a reply on the page in front of him:
"Yes and what?
Soon, in the space below the page, another line appeared:
"I don't like riddles, but I can give you another way, remember this address, and come to me, and I'll give you power that you can't even imagine on your own, whatever you want to do... Without strength, it can't work!"
A sneaky smile appeared on Loki's lips, and he seemed to think it was a fun game, and he reached out and continued to write on the page:
"But I'm locked up... I can't get to the appointment, it's a pathetic experience, isn't it?"
"Hehe, if you can be locked up by Odin, it can only prove that you are nothing more than that, little worm Loki, you and I both know what you want, I will only tell you that under this starry sky, only I can give you everything you want, whether it is destruction or revenge. ”
The line of words danced on the page in a strange way, and at the end of the last character, a flame-shaped symbol appeared on the page, and after a flash of arc light, Loki suddenly woke up from the table, he looked up, looked left and right, it was still the same cell, nothing had changed, only the book in his hand.
Loki flipped the page back to the page he had just had, and it was the words he knew again, as if it had never been there.
"Little bugs? ”
Loki snorted, stood up, and walked to the pale yellow energy barrier, his eyes slightly closed: "What a big breath." ”
As soon as the words fell, the yellow wall of separation in front of him shrank violently, and in an instant, it became invisible, as if it had never appeared, this scene made Loki's eyes tighten, but the next moment, he gritted his teeth and turned around to look at the very comfortable room that had been arranged.
It was as comfortable as his side hall in the Golden Palace.
"But there's only a cage there. ”
He whispered, his hands staggered, and in less than 10 seconds, the heavy handcuffs and shackles smashed to the ground, Loki moved his limbs with ease, and he strolled to the front of the dungeon's controls, as a former prince, he had been here more than once, and he knew better than anyone else about the mechanism here.
"Loki wants freedom, and there's no one who doesn't love freedom. ”
His fingers tapped a few times on the console, he looked at the closed yellow shield cell in front of him, looked at the prisoners of different shapes and races, and when the eyes of these interstellar scum fell on him, he spread his hands and whispered:
"Now, rejoice, King Loki, be merciful to you... Freedom!"
That night, Asgard, which had just restored order, was in chaos, and the scum and bastards who should have been wiped out in time returned to their own world, and the chaos and aftermath brought by it were not completely eliminated until 10 years later.
On the other side, the Earth, northeastern part of the European continent.
In fact, ordinary people do not wear cold clothing, after entering here, it is likely that they will not survive the first 3 hours, and they will be frozen, and from a distance, on the snow-white ice sheet, the cold wind like a knife blows those faint falling snow and flutters around, there is no doubt, just like it seems on the surface, this ghost place is a forbidden area for life that is inaccessible.
Centuries have passed since the last great geographical discovery, but unfortunately, there are always some places on this planet that are not suitable for human habitation.
However, the cold can't stop the pace of exploration, at least for those who are really powerful, this cold of more than ten degrees below zero, is nothing.
However, on the eve of the coming of the Age of Chaos, on this ice sheet, the lethal factor is not only the cold, in the past 7 months, there have been at least 14 traces of anomalous creatures that can be confirmed here, from the huge frost giants to the charming ice fairies, nearly a thousand years after the end of the ancient era, those creatures in the story have once again appeared in this far north land, which is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
The black shadow slowly fell on the surface in the small snowflakes scattered in the sky, like a small plane that landed, blowing away the snow on the ground layer by layer, the thick hooves of the black majestic celestial war horse stepped on the ice sheet, the creature of the divine steed raised its head and let out a magnificent cry, and the black knight on its back turned over and dismounted, and threw out two washed and clean carrots as a reward for this long journey.
"Oh, what a hell of a place. ”
Standing in the snow, looking left and right at the white world around him, he stretched out his hand and patted the neck of the war horse behind him: "Ruogen, go play, don't eat too much meat, don't scare those ordinary people." ”
"Restored"
The Celestial Horse squeezed Seber's arm with its huge head, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, causing a massive blizzard in its place, and by the time the wind had subsided, his master had disappeared in place.
The ground was bare, with not a single footprint, like the beginning of a thrilling ghost story.
