35. The Age of Fire of the Ashes
After a night of repairing, because he hadn't had a good rest for too long, Banner slept from seven o'clock in the evening to more than ten o'clock in the morning. This also forced the people who had planned to leave at 8 a.m. to push the time to 3 p.m. to avoid the time when the sun was at its strongest...... Although Ash and Hela don't care much, McRae and Banner are still mortal bodies, and too much water loss is not good news for them.
Because the goal has been clarified, so once again on the road Ash appears to be extremely silent, the whole person is like a different personality, driving silently, coupled with the temperament of the ash itself, it feels like a dead corpse for a long time...... It used to be a long-dead corpse but could talk, very cheerful, optimistic, and somewhat naturally withered.
Perhaps because of the influence of such ashes, even the people who accompanied them seemed a little silent. Fortunately, Hela was imprisoned in the Nine Realms for 5,000 years, although this is not a good memory, but it also makes Hela extremely resistant to the word loneliness. Banner's words are because he has become accustomed to his current state after a long period of escape, and even said that he is still thinking about how to get rid of the Hulk on his body while sitting in the back seat of McRae. The only one who has some impatience should be McRae......
He didn't feel like he belonged to his time, not in a pejorative sense, and McCree grew up living in a free and free environment like a western cowboy. As a cowboy, he was also influenced by his cowboy father, according to McRae's own words, he had traveled most of the United States before graduating from elementary school...... No, it should be said that the whole United States. Because strictly speaking, he hasn't graduated from elementary school yet, and he dropped out of school and went home in the fifth grade. And he didn't regret it in the slightest, because he hated the rules and regulations in school.
With no one to talk to him, McRae began to relieve his loneliness in his own way...... Sing. Although the five notes are incomplete, the cowboy songs that come out of his mouth have a unique charm. However, it can be seen from the style of music that he basically sings some old songs......
After singing for a while, McRae was helpless to find that no one cared about him...... None of them praised themselves for singing well, and when they were in the bar, those girls would praise them for having a different flavor after listening to them...... No, there is still one person who cares about himself, like Banner...... He was disgusted that his singing was influencing his thoughts. Shaking his head, McCree decided to find a question that would grab someone's attention and boost their spirits. Thinking about it, McCree looked at the ashes to the side.
"Hey, Ash, I have a question I've wanted to ask for a long time."
"Questions?" Hearing McCree's question, Ash raised an eyebrow. McRae, on the other hand, nodded quickly and said, "Do you care about the fire girl?" ”
As the words fell, sure enough, not only Hela, but even Banner cast a curious gaze. For Hela's past, when he was resting yesterday, during the chat of everyone, Hela also told the little bad things at home, so that there was not much to complain, after this period of life, Hela also looked down on Asgard's affairs, and the biggest hatred also earned Odin's betrayal of himself from Asgard.
And everyone can't say much about Hela's experience. After all, it is a person who has been locked up in a place where he cannot see his fingers for 5,000 years...... Not to mention five thousand years, even if you are locked up for seven days, it would be good if ordinary people could not collapse mentally in that kind of place. Now Hela is still resentful, and in McRae's words, for a cowboy to deprive himself of saving himself is like killing him. If he was imprisoned, the first thing he would do when he came out was to kill the group of people who had locked him up.
Glancing at McRae, Ash nodded calmly. Without the ease and jokes of the past, he said calmly after a moment of silence: "I care." ”
Hearing Ash's words, McRae tugged at his lips a little helplessly...... Anyone can see that you care a lot about fire prevention girls, okay? More than that, the reason why you care so much about her is what we want to know!
Thinking so, McRae cautiously continued to ask, "Can you tell me why?" ”
Not dodging, Ash nodded calmly.
"I think I've known the Fire Girl since the beginning of the Fire Age. I was ashes then, and she was my maid. If you count it in terms of "days" alone, I have spent 100,000 years with her in the Age of Fire before I fell asleep......" paused, and a smile rose in the voice of the ashes. Of course, this is only a single day, and in terms of the days of your earth, there are only ...... days Well...... How much? ”
"Twenty-four hours." Banner on the side reminded.
Nodding, Ash continued, "It's been too long, but in our time, there were probably thousands of hours a day......"
"It's not funny at all......" McRae on the side quickly waved his hand when he heard Ash's words. Hela, who was on the side, said calmly after glancing at McRae: "This is normal, Asgard's day is also three times that of Earth." It's just that we have a complete conversion calendar, which is converted to the time of other planets when we reach other planets. ”
"Huh...... A day on Pluto is also about 6.39 Earth days...... "As the most educated Dr. Banner of all people, and the only Earth native of McCree, Banner has no intention of saving face for McCree...... He even made up for it. "I knew this kind of knowledge when I was in elementary school."
"Actually, you don't have to say these ......"
"I'm just scared of the ashes, they think I'm as ignorant as you ......"
“……”
After a moment of silence, McCree smacked his tongue a little unpleasantly.
"Okay, I'm illiterate, I'm illiterate...... What's so fun to learn. As he spoke, McRae waved his hand in disgust. Banner on the side looked at the ashes with some curiosity: "Then again, if you really had thousands of hours a day in your day, wouldn't that mean that you would have to sleep for five or six months at a time?" By the way, and Hela, didn't you say that Asgard is not a planet, but a continent suspended in the void? So how do you set the time? With an artificial sun? ”
Hearing this, she shook her head, and Hela said calmly: "Don't use mortal wisdom to think about the affairs of the gods. In Asgard, all the laws were made by the God-King...... At the same time, this also includes the time of day, the calendar. And for the gods, they don't need to rest for too long. One hour of sleep is enough to restore the energy we have lost in the day, and of course, the excess of the battle will be prolonged. ”
As she spoke, Hela looked at the ashes on the side, "If I'm not mistaken, the time of the Age of Fire in the ashes' mouth should also be set by the god-king named "Gwen", right?" ”
