"Don't call me that, Your Majesty, I'm not here today on behalf of Kama Taj." Strange reached out and dusted off the fabric of his neat suit, he looked at Frigga and said, "I saw Odin's raven at the door before I came in, how is the father of the gods lately?" Please say hello to him for me. ”

"Of course he is very good, he knows everything in the Immortal Palace, and he knows everything about the Nine Realms."

Strange smiled a knowing smile and said, "We have already prepared the new package of information and intelligence within the Nine Realms that you proposed when you called the Holy of Holies last time, do you plan to take a look at the list of items?" ”

Frigga tilted her head slightly, and Strange handed over a document, and the queen smiled, flipped through it, and said, "Thank you, sir, for the haste you have made every time you come, and I feel uneasy that you have not been able to entertain you properly." ”

Strange smiled and shook his head, "I was a little rude to come and go in a hurry, and I didn't enjoy the hospitality, and speaking of which, I have never visited Asgard's Asgard Palace properly." ”

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Friggya's dormitory, and Frigga conjured a quill and wrote on the document as he spoke: "But unfortunately, it is no longer me who is in charge of the housekeeping of Asgard, but Thor's future wife, Sif , and I am not good at pointing fingers at her...... Oh, by the way, for the wedding in a few days, she is also responsible for the reception and security of foreign guests. ”

Strange looked up quietly, and Frigga handed the document with some words written on it, and Strange glanced at it, and some revisions were written on it, so he looked at Frigga and said, "Then it's all up to the Queen of God." ”

"Remember, the queen of gods in the future will be Sif again."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

The light on the board dimmed again, and the last piece jumped out with a light step, and Professor X landed in the front row, alongside Thor and Strange.

"I really didn't expect you to be interested in the mythology of the Xia Empire." Charles blew the hot tea in his hand and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this, I only know that the two gods of Xi'a formulated the national capital of 'fusion' for the Xi'a Empire." ”

Stark, who was opposite him, gently shook the little tea left in the cup, looked at Charles and whispered, "Don't you know anything about the M'Kraan Crystal?" ”

When the alien-sounding noun landed on the coffee table, Charles's hand paused, he shook his head and said, "I advise you not to fight its idea, that thing is dangerous." ”

"What is not dangerous to humans?"

Charles's hand stopped, he put down his teacup and looked at Stark, and asked, "Where did you know about this?" Have you dealt with the Shea Empire? ”

"When the demon gods fought before, I picked up the remains of some robots in the corner of the universe, they came from an experimental field called the 'Half World Lunatic Asylum' in the Xia Empire, and the underlying protocol carried some information about the Xia Empire's 'Cosmic Life Fusion Project'."

"Oh, the 'Cosmic Life Fusion Project'." Charles lowered his eyes, picked up his teacup again, and said, "That's when the Mad King Deken was in time." ”

Stark understood what he meant, so he said, "I know, this crystal must be very powerful, maybe mutants don't mean it, it's just that your current level of technology can't study it, let alone ensure the safety of research, but what if, we cooperate?" ”

Charles raised an eyebrow, looked at Stark and said, "Are you willing to study it for us?" ”

"It's our collaborative research." Stark stared into Charles's eyes and said, "I have the technology, you have the power, I can guide you to operate, the results are shared, and each takes what he needs, isn't it?" ”

Charles's face showed a hint of coldness that he had never shown in front of his students, but he still said quietly, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Recall your past with Eric."

With a "buzz", accompanied by a swirl of magnetic force, Magneto's chess piece appeared at Professor X's side.

Asgard, in Professor X's guest room, Charles looked into Eric's eyes and said, "Which is more important, the throne or the crystal?" They may all be important, but once the throne is vacant, the nobles' energy will definitely be distracted from the struggle for the throne, and they will not be able to trace the whereabouts of the crystals at that time. ”

Eric leaned his head back, looked at his old friend and said, "So, Lelandra must die." ”

On the chessboard, Rocket Raccoon's pawn limped out, and behind him was the pawn of Alain, Prince of the Dodel Federation.

Among the fragments of the vase, Alain stood up with his head covered, shook his head vigorously, looked at the disappearing cage where the raccoon was kept, gritted his teeth and cursed.

Suddenly, he turned sharply and rushed towards the door, but just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, he stopped again, patted his head, slipped his palm to cover his eyes, and whispered: "Calm down, calm down, Alain, now is not the time, Asgard will not make a big deal about the prince of a small tribe......"

Suddenly, Alain raised his head again, his eyes began to light up a little, and he said to himself, "That damn raccoon said that the Xia Empire was doing secret and evil human experiments, and had thrown all the experiments into an insane asylum...... It says the coordinates, how many? ”

Alan began to pace around the room, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but speak excitedly: "The Xi'a Empire must not want this secret to be circulated, perhaps, this can become a card in my hand, but I can't touch it rashly, otherwise it will be easy to be killed." ”

"Prom...... Yes, it's a ball, maybe I can approach the queen and test her mouth...... Chamberlain! Is the housekeeper there?! I accidentally broke the vase in the room, and besides, can you help me bring me the dress I have prepared? , I'm going to check in advance to make sure I'm not rude in front of the Queen. ”

The chessboard trembled, the light brightened again, the drums sounded, the lights flowed, and everything seemed to return to the warm atmosphere at the beginning of the banquet.

Lelandra stepped forward to talk to Hela about the past, but found that she was preempted by a man, she didn't see the smile on Tony Stark's lips in front of Hela, she only felt bored that she was interrupted.

At this time, she heard a deep male voice behind her:

"Hello, Your Majesty, can we talk?"

Lelandra turned her head and saw a blue-skinned and pigtailed man standing behind her smiling at her, and the man introduced himself very politely: "Hello, Your Majesty, I am Alain, Prince of the Centauri Dordle Federation, can I talk to you?" ”

Before Lylandra could speak, Alain continued: "Recently, the interstellar media of Centauri have been smearing the three empires, saying that they have set up a human testing ground here, but in my opinion, this is all nonsense, after all, smart and kind as Her Majesty, how could you do those evil experiments?" ”

Lelandra's mind was completely unsociable, she glanced left and right, and did not find Charles, she was not a diligent king, she was not very concerned about the political affairs of the Xia Empire, and she could not understand Alain's deep hints, so she felt even more bored.

"Sorry, my dress is a little wrinkled, it's very rude, I might have to go to the bathroom to take care of it, we'll talk later."

Lylandra smiled appropriately and turned towards the bathroom, but as soon as she reached the door, she noticed a butler holding a sign at the door of the bathroom.

"Oh, it's Her Majesty, I'm sorry, a multi-legged race just sprinkled some water on the floor after washing their hands, and we're cleaning urgently, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the bathroom upstairs."

Lelandra glanced down at her shoes, then at the water stains in the bathroom, and frowned a little dissatisfied, but turned her head and walked up the stairs.

Going up the first floor, Leylandra noticed that the second floor was exceptionally quiet, and the passage of the corridor was far away from the patio on the first floor, so not many people would come here, but she didn't think too much about it, and went straight to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Leylandra doesn't really want to tidy up her clothes, but when a woman sees a mirror, she inevitably wants to make sure that she looks as she wants, so. She stood in front of the mirror at the bathroom door, turned her head from side to side, and brushed the feathers from her sideburns with her hands.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and Lelandra was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the door of the bathroom where the sound came.

But the washstand was still a corner from the door, and Leylandra had to take two steps forward and look towards the door.

The light in the hallway shone in along the door, creating a bright chamfered corner on the wall, and as soon as Lelandra stepped out, she saw a dark figure standing in the bright light.

"Ahhh......h Hmmm......"

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

As the light gets stronger and stronger, the shadows cast by the pieces on the board get deeper and deeper, and the other side of the board is empty and nothing compared to one side of the board full of chess pieces.

Schiller stood on the side of the empty chessboard and saw Stark come out of the gap in the chess pieces and stand on the side of the statue of the queen in the center of the chessboard, facing Schiller.

"It's a clever move." Schiller said with a smile.

"Or, you could call me your copycat, Dr. Schiller, most of the layouts are inspired by what you've done." Stark was blunt.

"Connecting various forces, forming the situation with people, and pushing people forward with the situation, those who know the truth are willing to be at your mercy, and those who don't know the truth have also gone to the position where they should go."

"You are like a chess player who controls the chess game, never thinking about the feelings of the chess pieces, only caring about whether the chess game is perfectly arranged."

Under the brilliant light of the ball, Stark spread his hands, looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "And now that I have become a chess player, do you think that you, who have no chess pieces now, will be my opponent?" ”

"Who says I don't have a pawn?"

Stark stared into Schiller's eyes, but Schiller began to pace on the empty chessboard, and said in a low tone:

"It's really nice to connect the various forces, set up the right scenes, let the key people or things get to the predetermined position, and then watch the chess game evolve on its own, and finally achieve the result you want perfectly."

"But Tony, I don't remember if I told you, it's just my hobby, my job, I'm a psychiatrist."

Schiller stopped and looked into Stark's eyes, who were still standing there waiting for an answer, Schiller looked at his brown eyes like honey, smiled and said:

"Sometimes, it's not a good hand that you need in a chess game, but a vulgar hand."

"Bang!"

A chess piece fell on Schiller's back.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and the flames of the engine vents gradually extinguished after the Shea Imperial spacecraft landed in Asgard Starport.

Schiller, who was standing in front of the window, rubbed his eyes a little sleepily, he thought, this is really strange, the Xi'a Empire actually arrived so early.

Schiller thought as he got dressed and walked out of the room.

Soon, a gray mist appeared on the corner of the fourth floor of the room, and Schiller re-took shape, and he stood in the shadow of the corner, waiting silently, until ten minutes later, a figure walked into the public bathroom, and then he also stepped into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror of the washstand in the bathroom, Schiller pulled out a non-existent phone, raised his voice, and said, "Oh my God, you don't even know what I'm seeing!" You know the queen of the Xia Empire, right? ”

"Yes, I just met her, where do you guess I met her? The doorway of a human guest room! ”

"There's no wrong way, she got off the ship, left the Asgardian God-King, and went straight to a human bedroom......"

"That's right, it's late at night in Asgard, and you think the queen will ...... That's right, maybe I'm making a big fuss, human beings are so weak that they can't get out of their home planet, how can the queen of the Xia Empire have anything to do with a human being? ”

“…… I don't know? But I did hear from the butler at the door, the human was called Xavier or something, I don't know the pronunciation of their names, probably. ”

"Alas, it's a pity, I thought I had encountered a shocking gossip, if the queen really cheated, she has so much power, maybe she can divorce her current husband directly, and her husband will definitely not be able to ...... him"

"Forget it, I'll go back to my room first, and I'll call you later."

With that, Schiller glanced towards the cubicle in the bathroom, then stood in front of the mirror, showed a smile, the face reflected in the mirror, and turned his head to look at the chessboard behind him.

"Tony, a perfect murder, does not come from the murderer's noble status, brilliant mind, powerful magic, or intimate cooperation, but only from the touch of the heart...... Evil. ”

"Bang!"

The chess piece behind Schiller crashed headlong into the statue of the queen in the center of the chessboard, and with a "bang", the statue shattered.

In the midst of the debris, Stark suddenly turned his head and saw the face of the murderer's pawn - it was the princess of the Queen of the Xia Empire.

The light in the bathroom suddenly turned on, and in the dazzling light, Lylandra saw her husband's face, and the expression on his face was full of anger, jealousy, and anger, and it was almost distorted into a monster.

"How do you ......"

Before Lelandra could finish her sentence, a bolt of lightning struck her chest, knocking her down on the washstand, and Lelandra stared incredulously at the charred wound on her chest.

The brilliance of divine power flashed again, and the soundproofing magic enveloped the entire bathroom, and the queen was powerless to resist.

"You damn slut!!" Wang Fu stretched out four sharp raptor-like claws unique to the male nobles of the Feather Clan, and then slashed the three main fingers across Lylandra's face.

"Ah!!h

"I already knew...... I've known for a long time!! The prince gritted his teeth and muttered, he kept panting, stared at Lelandra viciously, and said, "I have long known that you and that human relationship is not over...... I already knew!! ”

As he spoke, his fingers trembled, and he suddenly changed his expression of fear, knelt beside Lelandra, and said to her in a crying voice: "Leland, Leland, Your Majesty, forgive me, I am the one who loves you the most, please forgive me......"

"You even threw a grand wedding for a lowly human, and the Mammoth Clan only remembers your twenty days of grand celebrations, and you just perfunctory me with a shabby trip, you damn slut!!"

Wang Fu's expression became hideous again, he thrust his trembling hand into Leylandra's charred chest, and said while panting: "Don't blame me, don't blame me, Leylandra, this is the tradition of the Mengyu clan, I have the right to punish my wife who is unfaithful to me, and I have the right to dig out your heart, this is the power of a husband......"

"You're going to dump me and marry that human again, you never thought I'd be the laughing stock of the whole interstellar world!!" Wang Fu was almost screaming, his hand was getting deeper and deeper, and Lelandra was already out more and less in breath.

"Forgive me, forgive me, this is the only way to restore our reputation, Leland, Lelandra, forgive me......"

"Poof!"

The light in the bathroom gradually went out, and with a "buzz", the wormhole opened, and Magneto, who came out of the wormhole, looked down at the queen's corpse and the blood on the ground, and lowered his eyes.

And in the same space and different times, Star-Lord Quill with a sword in his hand, and Strange who came here through the timeline with the Eye of Agamotto stood in the same position, staring at the Queen's corpse, their faces gradually overlapping, and the same sentence echoed in the bathroom.

"Did anyone do it first?"

When all figures were gone, a figure entered the bathroom, and one of the stewards of Asgard touched the queen's body lightly on the forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, bless you." ”

Then, he used his divine power to evaporate his blood, held up the corpse, and came to the railing of the seventh-floor patio.

"Bang!"

A corpse fell from the sky.

It was the queen of the Xia Empire, and when she landed, the blood and the hem of her skirt bloomed on the ground at the same time, like a golden and red flower.

In the midst of the rapid drumbeat of the ball, the position is as usual, and the black and white return to its place.

Schiller's gray eyes seemed to devour all the streamers, and when he looked at Stark opposite the corpse, he didn't smile as usual, but took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him, stretched out his hand and raised his glass to Stark, and saluted him from afar.

They have never been so close, and never so far.

Stark, the young eagle, is the best companion in this lonely journey of the wind, and every time he falls and flapps his wings, it is a proof of the existence of the wind.

And the best reward for this is to use wine as a gun in a broader sky, in this endless sea of stars, to honor the detective and the murderer.

Jing came all the way, in this magnificent storm, behind the eagle fighting the huge waves, there will always be a close friend who knows him better than him.
