Chapter 1117: The Father and the Son (37)
Sylvie was crying so hard that she was shaking, she didn't even know what she was crying about.
Perhaps, every wanderer who has left his hometown, when he returns from a tired and numb midnight dream, does not shed tears, but only accumulates those tears, just like picking up a handful of turbulent waves from the great river on the way home.
"We've really been looking for you for a long time." When Thor spoke, there was a hint of tiredness in her tone, but more of an inexplicable sigh, she said: "You don't know how much we regret it, that day, Odin and I shouldn't have left, otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered this." ”
Thor's voice made the dust in the afternoon light of Asgard tremble, and Luo Ji, who was standing on the side, gently stretched out her hand, seeing the small light flying between her fingers, and her eyes began to empty again, as if she was caught in thoughts. ,
"You know what? I thought that night, I'm going to disappear forever and never come back, so that they will regret it forever, and they will be sad forever, but do you know why I didn't do it? ”
Logie muttered softly to herself, but she wasn't asking anyone, she just blinked and spoke again.
"Because I'm afraid, without me here, nothing will change, they are still a happy family of three, as if nothing had happened......"
"I know that's why Sylvie didn't go home."
Helen, who was held in her arms, raised her eyes to look at her expression, wrapped her arms around Rockie's neck, and then shook her and said, "Mom, we haven't seen this Asgard, let's go out for a walk!"
Rockie was a little dazed by her, looking at Thor and Sylvie, who were sisters in front of her, she felt that she was indeed a little redundant here, so she looked left and right, and her eyes fell on the attendant on the side.
Thor caught her movements keenly, so she hugged Sylvie as she stretched out her other hand and waved it, saying, "Since you're also Loki, you can walk around here, but it's best not to use this look, it might cause panic." ”
Logie nodded, her female image is still somewhat similar to Sylvie, but the male image is not so similar, after all, the bones of men and women are quite different, and Loki's temperament is completely different from Sylvie.
So, Rockie turned back into a male, carried Helen, and walked out of the gates of Asgard, intending to walk around the Star District, the capital of the Asgardian Empire.
Asgard has not changed much, it is still an empty island hanging in the universe, but there are a few more armed empty islands nearby, and there are more ships coming and going, which seems to be more prosperous than Asgard where Loki is located.
However, when he came to the street market of Asgard, Loki did not feel the excitement of the past.
Although he hadn't been shopping in Asgard for a long time, he still remembered that the atmosphere of Asgard was actually very strong, even more warm and lively than modern human society.
The people of Asgardian did not like mechanization and felt that those cold machines should not invade their lives, so the ordinary streets of the civilian neighborhood of Asgard still retain the style of medieval and even primitive society.
The first thing you see when you look along one of the streets of the Asgardian mall must be the sign of the tavern, and the people of Asgard are so addicted to alcohol that if they live too far from the tavern, they will be laughed at.
Huge wooden signs, some in exaggerated fonts, some in the style of pirates, hung with skull flags and animal bones, tall barrels and crates stacked at the door, and sacks of wheat on carts.
Men in traditional Viking costumes carrying things, white aprons and plaid scarves on their heads, carrying baskets of vegetables, can hear the sound of horses' hooves passing through the streets and the call of drunks, in addition to the shouts of Old Norse.
Thor loved the lively atmosphere, but Loki always found it noisy, so whenever they went out shopping, Loki would try to take Thor to the magic prop shop or bookstore, so that he didn't have time to drink and spend the whole afternoon in the tavern.
As soon as he thought of this, Loki found that there was a magic prop shop on his right, and he had the impression that he seemed to have been to this shop, but he didn't know that the owner of the shop was still not the somewhat rude beard.
He walked through the door with Helen in his arms, and the shopkeeper, who was bending behind the counter to nail him, straightened up, and Loki looked at it and saw that the young man in front of him looked a little like the shopkeeper he knew, but not alone.
He looks much younger, doesn't have wild messy hair, and has a beard that everyone in the neighborhood envies, but still has red hair and brown eyes, which is typical of Kyle. ,
Asgard is not all Nordic lineage, but also mixed with the characteristics of other European races, the blood of the Aesir gods is more pure, but the other gods, especially the Warner gods, are very fond of intermarriage with foreign races, and their appearance is even more varied.
"Little Roll?" Loki called tentatively, and the young man behind the counter looked a little surprised, he looked at Loki and said, "How do you know my name?" ”
"Old Rohr, it should be your father, right? I'm a regular customer of his, and I visited his shop when he was still in Jotunheim......"
Hearing Loki say this, little Rolle immediately showed a bright smile, and he said, "Then you are an old friend of Rolle's family, come on, please take a seat!" Panna, Panna? Help us get two bottles of wine......"
Loki waved his hand and said, "What about your father?" Isn't he in the store? ”
Little Roel's expression stiffened, and then he rubbed his hand on his apron and said, "My father has died in battle, and my mother has returned to Jotunheim to see the shop, and now there are only two people in the shop, me and Panna." ”
After a while, a girl with the same red hair walked out with two bottles of wine, and Loki glanced at her and found that her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, which should be pregnant.
Little Rolle and Loki sat by the window, he put Helen on the chair next to him, and Little Rolle teased Helen with his hand with some curiosity, and said, "Is this your daughter?" ”
"Yes." Loki nodded, looking at the two bottles of ale on the table, he uncorked them in a bit of a daze, poured them into his glass, and took a sip.
Loki didn't like to drink at all, no matter where he was, no matter what kind of wine he drank, he could always taste the disgusting bitterness from the alcohol, but at this time, a sip of cold wine made him sober up a lot.
"During the Millennium War, my dad was managing a transport ship and unfortunately was ambushed by the Kree Empire on a logistical supply route...... He was killed in battle with several crew members. Little Roll shook his head, but he didn't show too much sadness, the Asgardians were like that, and everyone on this chariot was already ready to die in battle.
Loki wiped his mouth, turned his head to look out the window and said, "Why is the street so depressed?" I remember when I came here before, it wasn't like this? ”
"Oh, then you haven't been here in a long time, right?" Little Rolle suddenly realized, he said: "Today is the death day of the second princess, and the whole of Asgard will stop entertaining activities, poor second princess...... Kidnapped by those damn Corey guys, and eventually killed!"
Little Rohr snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I was too young at the time, I would definitely let that group of Correy people see how powerful we are!"
His attitude made Loki stunned for a moment, and he blinked and asked, "But I heard that before Odin announced that the heir of Asgard was Thor, not Loki......"
Little Rolle frowned, recalled for a while, and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, but that was a long time ago, but even if she is not the heir, she is also the princess of Asgard." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and said with some sadness: "Listen to my father, Her Royal Highness the princess is beautiful, kind, very talented in magic, and gentle and kind, and has no princess frame at all. ”
Loki's eyes slowly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, he stretched out his fingers, pinched them and touched his lips gently, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I heard your father's friend say that the second princess seems to have come to his shop and broke two vases, and he seems to be yelling at her to get out......"
"What's this?" Little Rolle waved his hand and said, "At that time...... The second princess should still be young, right? It's normal for children to be a little naughty. ”
"But I also heard that the second princess is weak and sickly, not as strong as the eldest princess at all, and besides, he doesn't understand military strategy, and can only use magic ......" There was a hint of hesitation in Loki's tone.
"Who did you listen to?" Little Rolle was a little puzzled, he looked at Loki and said, "The second princess is the most beautiful and noble princess in Asgard's history, she is as bright as the moon, and she is the most beautiful pearl in the crown of Asgard......"
"But it's a pity ......," said Little Roll, shaking his head, "I don't remember much at that time, but I heard my father say that all the goddesses of Asgard together are not as good as the skirt of the second princess." ”,
The expression on Loki's face was no longer something that could be described in doubt, it was completely "I don't understand, but I was shocked", he blinked quickly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said quickly:
"But she's not an heir, she's not taken seriously, and how can she ...... Oh my God, as bright as the moon, who made up these words?!!"
"What are you talking about?? I think you're a little drunk. Little Rolle snatched the bottle from Loki's hand and said, "Panna won't let me drink too much, in case I scare our children, and you don't drink too much." ”
"But it's true."
Little Rohr sighed and said, "Why can't you figure it out? The second duke is mainly not taken seriously, so how did the thousand-year war start? ”
After speaking, he looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "Actually, there has always been a legend among the people of Asgard that the contradiction between His Majesty Thor and His Majesty Odin is because His Majesty Odin is too partial to His Royal Highness Loki, saying that the father of the gods only likes his little daughter, so he ......"
Loki had already covered his eyes, but little Rolle said with some gods: "I heard that His Majesty Odin announced that His Highness Thor was the heir, but in fact, he was just using His Highness Thor as a cover. ”
"However, the Kree Empire knew that her true heir was actually His Highness Loki, so they kidnapped her and murdered her, which is why His Majesty Odin was so angry......"
Loki was silent for a while, snatched the bottle from his hand, poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then stood up with a "poof", picked up Helen and walked out of the store.
He hurried to one of the largest taverns in the neighborhood, where Asgardians were drinking and whispering discussions.
"Every year at this time, I remember...... Damn those Kree! If it weren't for them, how could the second princess have been murdered?!"
"Alas, don't say it, sometimes I also think about how beautiful and powerful the second princess would be if she really grew up...... Those damn Scruls, they must have envied us to death. ”
"If the second princess was still alive, maybe she would have gotten married a long time ago, but it's hard to say, who do you say can be worthy of the second princess? Beautiful, holy, and gentle, I am afraid that he must be the strongest warrior!"
"I don't think Asgard could find such a warrior worthy of such a perfect princess......"
Loki, who was standing at the door of the tavern, was completely stunned.
