Loki was thrown into the dungeon for impersonating the God King. This crime was very serious. If Frigga hadn't been involved, it wouldn't be surprising if Loki was sentenced to death.
"Pah~pah~"
In a rather elegantly decorated single cell, Loki was tossing a thick book up and down in boredom. There were dozens of books with simple covers stacked next to him.
These books were sent by Frigga to give Loki something to do to relieve his boredom in the boring prison.
Loki has read most of the books, and the remaining small parts are content that he is not interested in. They contain a lot of allusions about brothers, friends, and brothers, and fathers and sons being filial.
"Da da~"
The crisp sound of footsteps coming from the dungeon door made Loki prick up his ears.
He was already familiar with the footsteps of the dungeon guards. Those iron cans always made a clanking sound when they walked, not such a soft sound.
'Someone comes to visit the prison?'
Before Loki, who was half lying on the ground, could recover, the footsteps had stopped in front of his cell.
"Ah~"
After seeing the person clearly, Loki had an elegant smile on his face, but his eyes shone with a complicated and unexplainable look.
"Look who this is, His Royal Highness Thor, Crown Prince of Asgard, and my dear mother, God Queen Frigga. You are finally willing to see me in your true form."
Frigga had always used illusion spells to send books to Loki before, but this time it was different, both of them were real people.
"so?"
Loki straightened up and sat up from the ground, looking at the two of them with a sinister smile on his face: "What do you two, who have so many things to do, do you want to find me as a prisoner? Are you out of kindness and want to let me go?"
Loki carrying a gun and a club would make Thor's forehead appear with veins, but today's protagonist is not him.
Forcibly suppressing his anger, Thor said in a sullen voice: "We are not the ones looking for you. My mother and I just stopped by to take a look."
"oh?"
Loki asked slightly curiously: "Who is looking for me? I don't think anyone would risk offending Asgard to come to the dungeon to visit me."
"Your attention is completely focused on Thor and the God Queen. Can't you even see me standing next to you?"
The soft voice that suddenly came from his side made all the hair on Loki's body stand on end, and he subconsciously jumped up from the ground.
The voice just now seemed to come from right next to his ears, but in fact the speaker was separated from him by a wall.
Asgard's prisons look very technological. The conditions of all prisoners can be clearly seen through the translucent energy isolation wall, but it is difficult for them to break through this solid defense.
The cursed warriors of the dark elves are existences that break the rules and rely on burning vitality to gain powerful power in a short period of time.
Without their explosive attack power, it would be impossible to break through Asgard's specially designed prison wall.
Lu Xiao is here to persuade Loki today, not to cause trouble for Asgard. Of course, he will not rush through the energy barrier. Instead, he will use special magic skills to directly send the words to Loki's ears.
He was startled.
Frigga took a deep look at Lu Xiao. She was proficient in magic and felt a fleeting wave of magic power from Lu Xiao.
'You can actually cast spells at a speed that is difficult for me to detect. He is a formidable young man. He is worthy of being the successor of the Supreme Mage chosen by Ancient One.'
Loki broke out in a cold sweat and finally saw the person who made the voice clearly. The familiar hooded appearance made a flash of anger appear in his eyes.
"It turns out it's you. I haven't seen you for a while. Your magic skills have improved a lot. I admit that you scared me."
The magic skills passed down from Frigga are one of Loki's most important relies. The reason why Lu Xiao deliberately wanted to scare Loki was mainly to give him a show of strength and let him know that his three-legged cat skills were in front of him.
Doesn't work.
Pretending to be calm and sitting back on the ground, Loki asked cynically: "So you want to find me. Let me guess, you want to learn about Thanos through me?"
The God of Mischief does not focus on one thing most of the time, but just like Thor's evaluation of him, Loki has considerable talents in strategy and combat.
Taking off his hood, Lu Xiao looked face to face with Loki.
There was a smile on Loki's face, but there was no smile in his eyes. He looked very wary when looking at Lu Xiao.
This is also inevitable. The reason why he was thrown into the dungeon was that Lu Xiao, who exposed his disguise, played the most critical role.
Having been tricked once, Loki didn't want to be tricked by Lu Xiao a second time. This would undoubtedly be a shame for the self-proclaimed god of trickery.
"Half of the answer is correct."
Lu Xiao smiled and explained: "I do want to get information about Thanos from you, but this is not the main purpose of coming to the dungeon to see you."
After signaling to Frigga with her eyes, the God Queen clapped her hands knowingly, and an invisible barrier was raised near Loki's cell, and the sounds inside could not escape outside the barrier.
Loki frowned. Such high-level intelligence protection gave him a bad feeling.
After the preparations were completed, Lu Xiao turned to the topic: "Loki, the Queen said that you have read a lot of books. Have you ever heard of Hela, the God of Death?"
"Hela?"
Loki asked calmly: "I have read about the God of Death in the myths and legends of Asgard, but the name of the God of Death is not explicitly mentioned in any of the books."
"The name of the God of Death is Hela? And he will pose a huge threat to Asgard. That's why you want to come to me to provide help, or... act as cannon fodder?"
It has to be said that Loki is indeed very smart when he is focused, but his intelligence is often unable to be maintained and he will soon turn his attention to other places.
Lu Xiao spread his hands and said: "Although I want to say that you have a persecution disorder, but if the situation really reaches a point where it is difficult for us to control... yes, you will be prioritized as a sacrifice candidate."
Loki tilted his head and smiled indifferently: "I'm starting to like you. At least you won't be like some messengers of justice who talk about benevolence and morality and casually make false promises that they can't keep."
Thor's eyes widened when he was scratched by the AOE. He took a step forward and hit the barrier with his fist: "Loki! You..."
"Thor."
Frigga pulled the unhappy Thor: "Don't interrupt, let them talk."
"I can help you."
Loki asked calmly: "But what benefit can I get from it?"
"A pardon for your crime?"
"not enough."
Loki bargained: "Although I don't know how strong Hela is yet, if I can force Thor and his mother to come for help together, the harm he will bring to Asgard must be devastating."
"If you want me to fight hard, you must at least give me a reward of equal value. Restoring my freedom is definitely not enough."
"How about this."
Frigga interjected and promised: "As long as you help Asgard survive the crisis in Hela, I can restore your status and power as the prince of Asgard."
Thor turned his head in shock: "Queen Mother?!"
An evil smile appeared on Loki's face, and he looked at Frigga thoughtfully: "Including the inheritance rights that I should have had but were deprived of by Odin?"
"Yes."
Frigga pressed Thor down and promised with a calm expression: "As long as your recognition among the people of Asgard exceeds Thor's, it would be okay to elect you as king."
