Chapter 1356: The Mystery of the Feast (6)

"Your Majesty Supreme Mage, since you've come here, I think it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to use the Time Gem to go back to the timeline to investigate the murderer, right?" Frigga smiled at Strange and said.

The attitude of this queen of gods is like a spring breeze, and her words and deeds do not find any offense in the slightest, even if she asks others to do something, it makes people feel that it is reasonable to do what she says.

"My dear, maybe you didn't know that there is a price to pay for using Infinity Stones, and it's even more dangerous to disrupt the timeline."

"I don't mean to question the Supreme Mage's professionalism, but we all know that the Supreme Mage has mercy, and if he couldn't bear to see the Queen killed in the past timeline, he might have caused the killer to divert his target, and maybe we would see another corpse now."

It's rare for Odin to speak such a long paragraph, and the onlookers immediately became nervous, asking the supreme mage of the earth to travel through the timeline to investigate the murder, no joke, right? Are you sure that what you see is a corpse, and not everyone is a corpse?

Strange is not well-known in the universe, but his predecessor, that is, his teacher Ancient One, is famous, although Ancient One has not beaten the father or grandfather of these interstellar civilization leaders, but she must have beaten the father or grandfather of the dimensional demon god near them.

For a long time, watching the ancient demon god beat was an insurmountable stage of cosmic observation of interstellar civilization, once you saw a bald female mage holding a strange energy punch, congratulations, your civilization has a fairly developed level of astronomy.

The Supreme Mage's reputation is not very good, especially in terms of violence, let him travel back to the timeline to investigate, then it is not necessarily a corpse that falls, even if he doesn't plan to beat people, in case the rampage triggers some timeline changes, then not everyone will be unlucky?

"Your Highness, don't cry yet, can you let us see the corpse first?" Rogie quietly stepped forward to change the subject, drawing everyone's attention to the corpse, and she continued: "Even if we have to go back through the timeline, we must first know when the queen was killed, can we examine the wound?" ”

The strong-looking male of the Feather Clan kept crying with some convulsions, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The young Human Guard soldier behind him stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and whispered a few words beside him to soothe his emotions before he said with a shudder.

"Okay, but you must assure me that you will catch the murderer of Leland, Her Majesty, Her Majesty, how can you ......"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the murderer has ruined the banquet of His Highness the God King, we want to catch the murderer more than you, and we will never let him go unpunished."

Rocky said coldly, as she stepped forward and knelt down, turning over the queen's body lying on the ground, and when the corpse was revealed, the crowd of onlookers gasped.

A big hole was cut in the queen's chest, and the heart disappeared directly, and the scars on her chest were very messy, but what was even more terrifying was that there were three sharp claw marks on her face, and that delicate face was even more unrecognizable.

Schiller, who was standing aside, recalled the relevant information about the Mammothed Feather Clan of the Xia Empire, which was a somewhat peculiar race, and in the ancient times of the Mammoth Feather Star, there lived a species similar to the earth's feathered dinosaurs.

From the perspective of human evolution, it is probably that this feathered dinosaur evolved into a bird in the Middle Ages, and this bird eventually evolved into the fierce feather family.

Therefore, the Mengyu people have both avian characteristics and lizard-like characteristics, with feathers on the head, neck and shoulders, scales at the ends of their limbs, and are taller than humans, and their limbs are more slender.

Another feature is that their hearts are larger than humans, occupy a larger proportion of the chest, and are located in the middle of the chest, not to one side like humans.

This makes the murder scene of the murder scene of the heart gouging out is even more terrifying, almost all the skin and muscles on the queen's chest are gone, revealing a large hole, and because of the lack of heart, the hole looks black, and the blood gushing out is like a terrifying tentacle sticking out from the abyss.

"The Queen's body is surrounded by the breath of death."

A low, hoarse voice came from a distance, sending shivers down the lookers, and Rockie looked up to see a slender black figure quietly staring at the corpse.

Hela's eyes were filled with a black mist full of death, and Rogie also glanced around, as if explaining to someone, "No one here understands the physiology of the Mammoth Feather, and we can't judge the time of death of the Mammoth Feather by the clotting of Asgardian blood or the appearance of wounds. ”

"Your Highness, I need your help, can you determine the time of her death by analyzing the corpse's death breath?"

Hela walked out slowly, she did not lean down like Logie, but stood beside the corpse and stared quietly at the lifeless body, as if she saw the face of the young and immature princess in that mature face.

Hai stretched out a hand, and a black mist with a strong aura of death drifted out of her fingertips and flew towards the corpse.

And when that wisp of fog passed in front of Schiller's eyes, the thick fog became thinner and thinner, and after the dense fog under the World Tree cleared, Schiller changed his clothes, said goodbye to Strange, who was still napping in the hot spring pool, and returned to Asgard Square alone in the royal carriage.

The night in Asgard is clear and transparent, the evening breeze blows, the dew on the hair brings a slight coolness, the water of the fountain also penetrates into the nostrils, making people smell the moist fragrance, and the laughter of the children laughing in the distance drifts farther and farther away.

Schiller walked leisurely on the way back to Asgard, and the lazy feeling brought by the hot springs made him enjoy the night of Asgard in a rare leisurely manner, slowly crossing the Asgard Bridge, and seeing the brilliant lights of Asgard getting closer and closer.

Just as Schiller walked to the gate of Asgard, he was awakened by the cry of Pegasus, followed by a familiar shout: "Schiller, why are you here?" ”

As soon as Schiller looked up, he saw Loki, who was not wearing the usual mage robes, but wearing a very rare armor and cape, which looked a little heroic.

"I'm so sorry that something was wrong and I had to go to Thor's first, and I couldn't make it to your appointment." Loki jumped straight out of the carriage and walked up to Schiller and hugged him.

Schiller patted him on the arm and said, "It's okay, you went to Thor?" I heard Strange say it was because of Heimdall? ”

Loki looked left and right and said, "Go to my room and talk about it." ”

Loki led Schiller to his dormitory, which was not the same as the guest room, but a very luxurious palace room, with precious carpets, gorgeous and soft beds, and display shelves full of all kinds of precious jewels and collections, all revealing the extravagance of the prince's bedroom.

Schiller walked in and looked at the shelves, while Loki took the wine from the wine cabinet and said, "Actually, it was me and Thor who went on a trip to the underworld, the land of Hela. ”

Schiller walked over to the single couch by the window and sat down, and while watching the lights of Asgard outside Asgard gradually go out, he said, "I know you've always been in contact with Hela, but Thor ......"

"It is precisely because Thor is strong enough that there is room to communicate with Hela, and you also know that Hela and Odin are the most similar, they are both traditional Asgardians, who only submit to the strong."

"Hela has recognized the position of the new king of Thor, so naturally there is no conflict between the two of them." Loki walked over with the wine and said, "It's Thor, he needs Hela's help." ”

Schiller thought for a moment before spitting out a single word: "Valhalla?" ”

Loki nodded, poured Schiller a glass of wine, then half a glass for himself, and said, "Valhalla is not actually Asgard's property, but Odin's personal creation. ”

"The Father of the Gods used Valhalla to intercept those valiant souls and resurrect them to fight for Asgard once again, and during the years of Asgard's conquest of the universe, Valhalla became the banner of the spirit of the people of Asgard."

"Dying in battle for the Father of the Gods and having a place in Valhalla has become a coveted honor for all Asgardian warriors, but again, Valhalla is Odin's, not Asgard's."

"I see." Schiller took a sip of his glass and said, "Thor wants to have his own Valhalla?" ”

"Not really." Loki's fingers rubbed against the wall of the cup and said, "Since Asgard no longer plans to conquer the universe, it doesn't matter if there is such a spiritual banner or not, we hope to have a healthier death and reincarnation mechanism like other gods." ”

"The people of Asgardian always felt that if they could not die on the battlefield, it would be the most terrible thing in the world, and this view of death was actually specially cultivated by the father of all beings, just to make the people more brave and good at fighting."

"And Valhalla is their sense of security, as long as I die bravely enough, the father of the gods will definitely resurrect me, they are not afraid of death, they just believe in Odin."

"But it's not healthy, is it? The Asgardians regard natural death as a flood beast, essentially because they feel that natural death will never have a chance to be resurrected, and who wouldn't want to be resurrected? ”

Loki sighed deeply and said, "But we already owe the World Tree, and we also killed and resurrected it, so don't we owe more and more?" ”

"If we want to repay our debts, open source and reduce expenditure is the right way, we continue to seek outward and open source, but we also have to reduce expenditure inward, and we can no longer overdraw the power of the World Tree."

"If you want to reverse this situation, you have to establish a new concept of death for them, but if you directly tell them that Valhalla can't be used, or that Thor doesn't want them to use it, then the people will definitely not be able to accept it for a while."

"So, we're going to do it all over again." Loki touched his eye lightly and said, "Perhaps you humans have also heard that Helheim, that is, the underworld, is a cold and foggy place in the Nine Kingdoms, and that Eleudnir is the residence of Hela, the queen of the underworld, and the resting place of the undead. ”

"I know that in human legends, this place is not as famous as Valhalla, but in fact, this is where the true soul of the Aesir God Clan returns."

Loki shook his head and said, "Before that, Hela was imprisoned here by Odin, and this is her cage, but not her fiefdom. ”

"When the Father of the Gods was in power, he didn't allow Hela to leave Helheim at all, Hela didn't have the ability or authority to lure the souls of the Aesir Protoss, and the souls of the dead in her fiefdom were all left over from the past."

Schiller nodded and said, "I understand, you lack an existence like the Egyptian god Osiris, who is responsible for luring the souls of your clansmen to Hades, where they can quietly disappear and return to natural reincarnation. ”

"Exactly." Loki nodded vigorously and said, "Thor went this time to talk to Hela." ”

"He intends to make Her Royal Highness, the former eldest princess, the Prince of Asgard, a fief in Helheim, but not involved in the internal affairs of Asgard, and is only responsible for bringing the souls of the dead to rest."

"So, what does Odin think?" Schiller asks a crucial question.

Loki sighed again and said, "That's what Hela asked us, and in fact, Thor and I also want to know what Odin thinks. ”

"I can trace the soul of Her Majesty with the breath of death on the corpse."

Schiller's hoarse voice woke him up from his memories, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall remained stagnant.

Hela, who was standing next to the corpse, said, "Her Majesty just died, and maybe I can bring her soul back." ”

The crowd of onlookers immediately burst into a chord, including statements such as "hurry up" and "what are you waiting for".

But at this time, Hela glanced at Thor, swept her gaze over Rogie's face, and said slowly: "But I must use the power of Helheim to spread the breath of death, so that it is possible to find the soul of Her Majesty among the thousands of souls within the Nine Kingdoms." ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

When the voice of the Father of the Gods sounded, the noise disappeared instantly, and Odin looked into Hela's eyes and repeated again: "...... So what are you waiting for? ”

Thor and Loki looked at each other, and Hela turned her head to look into her father's eyes with death-filled eyes, and said, "Of course, I'm waiting for permission from the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms." ”

Odin looked at Hela in silence for a moment, then his grip on Frigga tightened.

Only this queen of the gods, who has accompanied the god-king all his life, knows that the father of the gods, who never flinchs and never weakens, also trembles with sadness.

"Then you should ask Thor, not me."

Odin's words fell, Rogie turned her back, Schiller saw her sigh of relief, and soon Thor's voice rang out.

"In the name of the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms, I grant you such power, with Helheim as your fief and weapon, to allow your power of death to pass through the Nine Kingdoms, to control all the coming and going of the undead, so that all living beings in the Nine Kingdoms may have eternal rest."

Finally, Thor slowly spat out a name: "...... Hella Odinson. ”

When the moonlight shines through the stained glass windows, it seems to drape Hela in a cold and gorgeous gown.

The Legendary Highness's low, hoarse tone drifted away with the wind, drifting farther and farther away.

"For the sake of ...... The glory of the gods of the north. ”

Some people say that the text should be called three detectives, laughing to death, do you think this looks like you can make up three detectives?
