Strange walked on the bridge in front of the Asgard Palace. The afterglow of the setting sun made the Asgard buildings under his feet look even more brilliant. He walked past the tall guards at the end of the bridge and walked up the steps one after another.
, and saw the beautiful fountains and flowers in the square in front of the door.
Immediately afterwards, he followed the goddess who led the way into the vast hall of the fairy palace, where dozens of pillars were like towering trees, supporting a huge dome carved with complicated patterns.
Strange followed the goddess who led him into the elevator. The elevator platform slowly rose amidst the roar. Looking down from here, he could see the laughing children in the Asgard square on the other side.
Soon, the elevator stopped, and the door in front of him slowly opened. After walking in, two tall alien plants guarded the door. The Asgard goddess in white turned around and said to Strange: "Go through this."
The corridor bridge is turning to the right, and the tower is where His Highness is. You cannot enter without permission."
Strange nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance. Also, can I ask, is Luo Ji okay now?"
The goddess in white robe shook her head, turned around and walked back to the elevator. Strange sighed, he could already imagine Luo Ji's miserable condition.
He kept walking forward as the goddess said. This is a covered bridge directly behind the gate of the Immortal Palace. The wall on the left is the corridor of the Immortal Palace. Behind him is the elevator. On the right are the railings and columns.
Go straight ahead and turn right, and you will see what the goddess said, a tower independent of the fairy palace.
Strange walked over. The door of the tower was connected to the covered bridge. There were two metal door knockers on it. Strange picked up one of them and knocked the door. Luo Ji's voice came from inside: "Please
Enter."
Strange was stunned for a moment and asked: "How to enter?"
"Push the door, what else?"
Strange took two steps back and looked at the door. Only then did he realize that there was no protective circle on it. The door even opened a small crack as he knocked on the door just now.
"The door is unlocked?" Strange's eyes widened in surprise. He walked forward, pulled the door knocker, and the door opened directly.
The scene inside was completely different from the dark prison that Strange imagined. It was a circular tower with corridors surrounding the walls, and in the center was a Viking-style garden.
Many of the plants there are very similar to those on the earth, a bit like ancient versions of the earth's plants. There are also many slightly broken statues in the center. Luo Ji is standing under one of the statues reading a book, and Strange walks over quickly.
Ask him: "Are you okay?"
Before Luo Ji could speak, Strange said: "Is your mind okay? You know that Odin will be so angry that he wants to kill you, but you dare to return to Asgard. This is not a trap.
?"
"Aren't I fine now?" Luo Ji raised her eyes and her voice was a little cold. Strange looked up and looked around the place and said, "What is this place? Are all your prisons in Asgard so high-end?"
"Who told you this is a prison? This is the site of our ancient royal garden, which retains the traces of our time on earth. Upstairs are the archives and library. I usually like to stay here the most."
…
"Didn't Odin punish you? You got into a big trouble this time."
Luo Ji sighed and said, "I'm also surprised..."
Then, Strange heard from Rocky what happened before he came.
The gods of Nordic mythology come from the earth. They belong to ancient civilizations. Therefore, like most ancient civilizations on the earth, there are mainly the following types of punishments.
The most serious of them is exile. Theoretically speaking, there is no death penalty in Asgard, but exile is not much different from death penalty. People who have committed huge mistakes are directly sent to a dark universe randomly. As for where he wants to go,
No one cares how we survive.
The second is expulsion. These two penalties are different. Expulsion means that as long as you don’t stay in Asgard, you can go anywhere. The more serious one is that you are not allowed to enter the nine kingdoms, but as long as you don’t come here,
Others won't give you any trouble.
In the original comics, Thor was expelled from Asgard by Heimdall. Although he finally came back, this was considered one of the more serious punishments in Asgard.
Then there is whipping. Whipping exists in Asgard, and the reason why whipping ranks third in the severity of punishment is because Asgard’s whipping is not a human whip, but a whip.
The whip of thunder is composed of the divine power of Odin, the father of the gods. Even if this whip is struck on an Asgardian with extremely strong physical fitness, it can last for half a year with one whip.
The reason why this punishment is serious is that once you are whipped, you will not be able to go to the battlefield for a long time and can only stay at home. This is a devastating blow to the Asgardians.
Before Luo Ji returned to Asgard, she estimated that she would have to be whipped. After all, the trouble he got into this time was a bit too big.
The princess who had rebelled before was offended, and she almost broke through the seal, and captured the eldest prince who had returned to the World Tree. In the end, it also stirred up old and new hatreds between the two of them...
In addition to throwing the Destroyer to the earth before, taking Thor to Sakaar, and Odin's thunder that struck him is still on the way, Luo Ji was already very moved.
Why did Luo Ji return to Asgard? She just thought that she would die sooner or later, and she was bound to be beaten no matter what. So she might as well finish the beating quickly so that she could go out and cause trouble.
But when Luo Ji returned to Asgard, Odin was indeed very angry. It could even be said that his nose was crooked with anger. But when Luo Ji was half-kneeling in the Asgard hall, waiting for Odin to say something, Odin was
Just let him go back to his room to reflect, and he is not allowed to leave the fairy palace without his order.
Luo Ji, who was kneeling on the ground at that time, was stunned. He thought Odin hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't move at all. Odin became even more angry. The father of the gods' hands were shaking with anger. He stretched out his arm and pointed at the door and said:
"roll!"
So, Luo Ji ran away in confusion.
Then, he saw in the elevator that Odin hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his weapon and left.
You know, the father of the gods was still sleeping, and Heimdall found all the armor, and the weapons were not polished.
Before Loki could figure out what Odin was doing, Frigga came to his room. When she saw Loki, she burst into tears, and Loki had to quickly comfort her mother...
Frigga wiped her tears and said: "Why are you so bold? Do you know that even Odin, the father of the gods, had to avoid Hela's attack? She is the true Lord of the Undead. If you mess with it,
Got her, my god..."
"Are you injured? Where is your divine power? What is the new divine power in your body? Is it Thor's power? ... Where are others? Why doesn't he know how to protect his brother... sister??"
Frigga became more and more angry, and she said: "Thor is just like his father! All he can think about is fighting. Every time he goes out, he doesn't know how to go home for hundreds of years, causing a lot of trouble, and then he rushes back to let us go."
Wipe his ass!"
"I was reluctant to reprimand him before, because he is the future heir of Asgard and has to learn how to fight, but this time he went a little too far! His sister is being hunted by the God of Death, and he is still in the universe
Wandering here?!"
Frigga was so angry that her chest kept heaving. Luo Ji walked up and patted her on the back. Frigga held her hand, touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt me."
My child’s.”
"Even though I have never left Immortal Palace or been on the battlefield since I married your father, I was the number one mage of the ninth term and the god of mage respected by the nine kingdoms..."
Frigga held Luo Ji in her arms and said to her: "Don't be afraid, I will always protect my family..."
"You know, in this atmosphere, how can I say that I have offended Balder? If the Queen God becomes too angry, the Father of the Gods may really kill me." Luo Ji sighed in the ancient garden.
She took a breath and hugged the book, looking a little helpless.
Strange said: "You should have seen by now that your parents love you very much. Although my relationship with my father is not good, I think there is an example that can describe your current situation very well.
"
"When a child scratches someone else's car, his father may beat him in anger, but if a child blows up the White House, his parents will definitely try their best to protect the child."
"The bigger the trouble, the more your parents will side with you, just like this time."
"And because you have been obedient before and have never caused any trouble, Odin may think that this is just an accident. He may not be angry with you, but think of what happened between him and Hela..."
"It's just this time that I'm starting to get a little tired of this kind of repeated testing. The universe is so big. I can't find anything better to do than hanging out with these war monsters." Luo Ji looked a little impatient.
"As long as you figure it out, when do you plan to return to the Holy of Holies? I'm already going crazy with my work!"
Luo Ji walked to a bench nearby and sat down. She said, "I went back to Asgard not just to test Odin, but more importantly, I can get news about Hela here without having to fight with him."
Meet in person.”
Luo Ji looked around and found that there was no attendant nearby. He lowered his voice and said, "When I was chatting with Hela in the Kingdom of Death, I heard him say that his favorite place in Asgard was the ancient place.
garden, and once left a mark here.”
"As long as I stay here and observe the status of this mark, I can determine whether he has escaped from trouble. Once this mark reacts, it means that the war is about to begin."
"Mark? Is it the one we saw in that cemetery last time?"
"Almost the same, but different, because in Asgard, Hela was not the God of Death yet, but the general shape was the same, and once he got out of trouble, the mark would show his unique dark green energy.
…”
"Dark green energy? You mean... that kind of energy?" Strange said, looking behind Luo Ji.
Luo Ji suddenly turned around. She saw thick smoke billowing from under a sculpture in the center of the garden. The moment the screams and wailings started, most of the plants in the ancient garden were eroded by the energy of death, gradually withered and turned into fly ash.
.
"Get away!" Luo Ji shouted.
Strange waved his hand, the portal flashed, and he and Luo Ji disappeared together.
In Nick's office at S.H.I.E.L.D., Schiller and Nick had just sat down when they heard a "bang", followed by two "bang bangs", the portal appeared above the office, and then Rocky and Strange came together
fell down.
Schiller held the water glass, tapped the rim with his finger, looked down at the two of them, turned to Nick and said, "It seems that I don't need to speak anymore."
