Midgard is a weak world, and that's the common perception throughout Asgard. Except for the Supreme Mage and a few mages from the Hermitage. The individual strength of this world is the weakest of the nine worlds.

About sixty years ago, an organization called the Magical Council appeared. They expand rapidly and spread magic in the shadows. Heimdall had been following them for a while. It was a magical organization founded by outsiders. He left behind a complete magical legacy, and then abruptly left. After that, Heimdall didn't follow the group as much as he used to.

After all, after the leader who could rival the Supreme Mage left, the remaining mages were far from strong enough. The Magical Council doesn't deserve much of his attention anymore. But this time, after that person returned, it brought him a great shock. There is no doubt that the human has become stronger. So strong that Heimdall couldn't see through his true strength.

And since his return, Heimdall has been unable to peek inside the council anymore. A powerful defensive spell blocked his vision. In fact, in all fairness, Heimdall thought that man was already qualified to trade with the gods. It's just that the pride of being a god still makes him think about pretending to be 13 again. The result was pierced by Lin Xuan without hesitation.

Lin Xuan's request seemed to be just an arrogant outspokenness that didn't know the thickness of heaven and earth. But combined with the words he said intentionally or unintentionally. 'How much time is left for the gods? It gave Heimdall an eerie feeling. The mage in front of him seemed to be hinting at this?

Whether it's the eternal fire or the seemingly unintentional complaint, there is a faint hint at a word that Asgard doesn't want to mention. 'Ragnarok'.

Lin Xuan didn't wait for Odin's reply, but another figure appeared in front of him. Dressed in dark green, a typical European image, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. Lin Xuan recognized it at the first time, and it was none other than the second prince of Asgard, Loki. Of course, this is just an illusion, and the real Loki is in Asgard at this time.

"It's an honor to meet you, Prince Loki. Is there anything I can do for you? ”

"You know exactly what I want, stranger. Give it to me. ”

"I'm sure you heard my terms. So ......"

"You are already the strongest being in your world. But in the eyes of the gods, you are still just an ant. I'll say it one last time, give it to me. ”

"I'm sorry, the ants don't understand what you're saying. So, are you going to deign to trample me to death? ”

Lin Xuan's tone began to become dangerous. Several spiritual magics in the consciousness are already beginning to be prepared. As long as Loki dares to be presumptuous, his psychic magic will trace Loki's essence through his vision.

Loki didn't speak, just looked at Lin Xuan quietly. Finally, with a slight smile, a flame appeared in his right hand.

"Eternal fire, you can't get it. It is a flame taken from the Eternal Fire. It should be enough for you. ”

"Well, it's a bit different from what I imagined. But I can accept this exchange. It's just that before the exchange, I can ask. Now I'm trading Asgard or Prince Loki. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Absolutely. If it was a trade with Asgard, it was now over. If it's a deal with Prince Loki, we can talk about something else. ”

Interesting, stranger. You've sparked my curiosity. I have a hunch that you might be going to say something about me next. ”

"I'll correct it first. Not that I'm going to say, but it's another deal. As a magician, I am not proficient in alchemy. But I am convinced of the equivalent exchange advocated by alchemy. So ......"

"Interesting, it looks like you're quite confident in your message. Let's talk about what you want. I'm going to make sure if I'm going to start the price. After all, your asking price is a bit high. ”

"Maybe I have some businessman nature in my bones. But I'm not rejected. I just want to know something that is very simple for the gods. For example, how is your priesthood determined? ”

Hehe, interesting. You are peeking into the mystery of becoming a god. Do you know what that means? ”

"To be honest, I don't have much interest in becoming a deity. But I'm still quite interested in the process. ”

Lin Xuan has always been very curious, among the gods of Asgard, there are all kinds of priesthoods. God-kings, thunder and lightning, lies, death, and more. But how did this kind of priesthood come about, and why do they say that the god of thunder is the god of thunder. What steps do you need to go through to gain authority?

"Because of the World Tree. The fruit of the World Tree is the source of the authority of the gods. ”

"The World Tree? I thought it was just a description. Is there really such a thing as a World Tree? ”

"Of course there is, but it's not a tree as you humans understand it. In fact, it is closer to the existence of a rule. A link between the nine worlds. Something that exists between energy and concept. The will, faith, and spiritual power of the creatures of the Nine Worlds will be collected by the World Tree. It then condenses into 'fruits' of various attributes. This is where the authority of the gods comes from. ”

"You told me this secret so happily. It gave me a bad premonition. So, what happened to the World Tree? ”

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with it on the surface. But it's no longer bearing fruit. Thor and I were the last gods with authority. Since us, no new gods have been born in the Nine Worlds. What does this mean, I think you already know that, right? Well, I think I've said enough. Now you can say your message. You'd better satisfy me, or I'll show you the wrath of the Prince of Asgard. ”

"Of course, I said that I believe in equivalent exchange. So, Prince Loki, do you want to know your origins? ”

"I'm the prince of Asgard, and that's a well-known problem. What do you want to say? There was already some element of danger in Loki's tone. But Lin Xuan was unmoved.

"Of course you are the prince of Asgard. But that doesn't mean your blood matches who you are. I know I can't convince you of my answers. But the good thing I know there is a way to prove my word. Ice Box, I know he's in Odin's treasury, get your hands on it, and everything will be revealed.

When you have confirmed, bring the eternal fire by the way. Don't use that illusion in your hand to perfunctory me. I'm sure we'll see you again soon. ”
