Richard ...... It's only been a long time since you saw you, how did you become ...... So emaciated, so ...... Weak......" Loki closed the door of the hall to himself, he walked up to Richard, glanced at Richard, who had become a little alert, sighed, and continued, "Richard, why...... Why are you always wary of me?"

“...... Loki, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Richard sat on the stool, the fire in the charcoal furnace was blazing, and the closer he got to the blazing fire, the more he felt a heat - but Richard knew that this heat did not come from the fire, but from his own heart, and he, the moment he saw Loki, felt unnatural all over his body.

"Look at you, Richard...... Actually, you don't have to hide your nervousness in front of me...... I know your anxiety, I know what you're worried about, and I know it...... What are you afraid of......" Loki said these words in a gloomy voice, and slowly walked to the corner of the hall, pulled out another stool, and sat down beside Richard.

The light of the fire was a little dim, and it was indeed time to add some dry wood to the fire, but unfortunately, the two people present ...... Oh no, it's one man and one god, and they have no intention of letting the flames in the furnace burn again, and they all think that such a gloomy environment is very good......

After those words, the silence began to creep in inexorably.

Richard's brain was unusually awake at the moment, and he seemed to be staring at the fire now, but in fact, all his attention was focused on Loki.

And Loki was also silent and did not speak, his somewhat thin body looked a little rickety at the moment.

"I say, Loki?" Suddenly, Richard spoke, without warning.

But Loki replied very blandly, "Well, you say." ”

"You gods, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Richard pointed to the thick layer of fur he was wearing, and then to Loki's not very thick-looking cloak, shrugged his shoulders, and continued, "I'm curious, if I only wore a cloak, I might have been frozen into an ice sculpture in the wild before entering Deya City...... Well...... There was no malice, I just wanted to ask. ”

“...... Hahaha!" Loki was silent for a moment, then he suddenly began to raise his head and laugh wildly, he didn't seem to be worried at all that his laughter would attract anyone's attention. The laughter lasted for a long time, and finally, Loki finally relented, he looked at Richard, shook his head a little helplessly, and continued, "Richard...... I can't answer you for this...... However, as you, you should have access to the literature on the battle of the gods in ancient times...... You should know that I was actually an ordinary mortal! I can tell you that at that time, I could also feel the warmth and cold...... And after becoming a god, I gradually forgot about that feeling, like ...... I'm not in this world anymore......"

Then, Loki laughed heartily for a long time, and it took him a long time before he could barely recover. For some reason, Richard always felt that this laughter was full of hysteria, as if it were ...... There is an unspeakable, but unforgettable hatred hidden!

Now, though, is not the time to think about that.

"Okay, Richard, for the sake of making me laugh today, I'll just say it!" Loki took a deep breath, he looked at Richard, and said calmly: "Richard, I have been silently following you since a very early age, probably, when you and your wife traveled together on the continent of Anvita to save their compatriots in distress in the world...... Seriously, your character deserves the admiration of most people in this world...... Unfortunately, this world is the ...... of careerists and despicables So, people like you will always be rejected by the world, just like now!"

"Hmm...... I see, thank you for the compliment......" Richard nodded, his expression calm on the surface, but on the inside, he was still full of wariness of Loki - after all, he was the god of lies and deception!

Loki seemed completely unaware of how much pressure he was putting on Richard, and he sighed, trying to make his tone sound ...... Less threatening. A faint smile appeared on Loki's face, and he slowly asked, "Richard, do you remember our deal in Rome?"

“...... Well, of course I do. Richard nodded, he pondered for a long time, then looked up in confusion and asked, "...... At that time you said that the gods of Rome were greedy for the soul of the Romans, but you were in order to carry out ...... Your so-called plan, so as not to alarm the gods of Rome...... So, ask me for it...... The souls of my fellow citizens...... I agreed. Because, that was as a reward for your help to me in the Roman campaign...... Wait a minute...... You mean another trade, right?!"

"That's right, another deal...... ...... about your child Leemong Deal!" Loki said slowly, as if he hadn't seen Will suddenly stand up and his face full of anger, and he still said to himself, "Listen, Richard, I don't want to be your enemy...... Or, before your holy clan was listed as God's outcast, I wanted to cultivate you as my ...... on earth The unique soul and bloodline of your holy race make every god in this world greedy...... Of course, this only refers to excellent bloodlines like you and your family! I have estimated that once I absorb Li Meng's soul, then I can ...... Speed up!"

“...... I don't understand what you're talking about, and besides, I'm not going to joke with my child's name!" replied coldly, hesitated for a moment, and quietly reached for the dagger at his waist - he wanted to see if the gods would die from human weapons!

Suddenly, Loki stood up, and his whole being became illusory!

Richard only felt a blur in his eyes and a dizziness in his brain, and when Richard came to his senses again, Richard found Loki standing in front of him, and ...... Loki looked at it with a complicated face, and was lying quietly on the dagger in his own wide palm! Richard's face was cold, he didn't expect that Loki's vigilance was so strong!

“...... Richard, I just complimented you on your good memory...... Have you forgotten that in this world, the gods, including me, all possess the strength of legendary powerhouses before they become gods...... And I, maybe a little bit more special...... I was a thief in the northerns at that time...... Of course, a thief with the strength of a legendary powerhouse...... So, you can't hide it from me!and......" As he spoke, Loki suddenly picked up the dagger, and then, aimed it at his own heart, and stabbed it into it quickly!

The dagger quickly sank into Loki's heart! But the strange thing is that the dagger seemed to pierce a thin piece of paper, except for an ugly "stabbing" sound, there was not even a trace of blood dripping out of the place where the dagger should have caused the wound!

"Oh, see that......" Loki smiled self-deprecatingly, and then he pulled the dagger out of his body and threw it back into Richard's hand. I saw a strange black light, and after it appeared on his chest, the wound on Loki's heart quickly healed and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye...... But there was no expression of joy on Loki's face, and some of them were just self-deprecating...... with apathy.

Loki slowly returned to his seat, then sat back down, and said in a lazy and boring tone, "This is the god, Richard...... We are immortal. Even if you summon tens of thousands of legendary powerhouses, surround me, and then ask them to crush me little by little from my limbs to my hair...... I can go back to my old self at any time if I ......want to! I've tried it too...... But after each attempt, I found that I would be on this continent, near any mortal who believed in me...... Reborn ......"

"What you said is too ...... It's so incomprehensible...... But what does this have to do with my child?" Richard pondered in silence for a moment, but finally chose to compromise - after all, he had just seen a god with his own eyes...... Terrible!And, Loki apparently didn't care about that little episode. Now, instead of continuing to stiffen the atmosphere, let's gather some intelligence!

"What does it have to do with your child?" Loki shook his head, his deep gaze was too deep to look at, and he said slowly, "...... Because of many, I can't tell you right now, Richard. You have four children...... Cherish your other three children...... My plan cannot be lost, and once my plan is complete, you and your people will find a real place to live on this continent...... Finally, I'm telling you this just because I'm bored passing through the north, so I'm here to inform you!"

“...... Is that all? I don't believe it. Richard replied cautiously.

"Yes, just because it's boring. Loki nodded, picked up a piece of dry wood on the ground, and threw it into the fire.

After being exposed to the new "food", the flame became more and more dazzling and enthusiastic.

"I have to say, Richard...... Your youngest son Li Meng's life is really good...... Even the mistress of Mokawi favored him...... Seriously, I watched it and I was very jealous...... In order to protect him, the mistress of Mokawi even did not hesitate to send most of Mokawi's secret guards...... Many of my temples in the empire have been destroyed by the guards......"

"It doesn't matter, though...... It really doesn't matter. ”

"Because, now the Black Thorn Castle, the defense must be empty...... I will go to Blackthorn Castle, and there, collect the soul of your child that you promised me!"
