Lu Xiao actually had his own agenda when he chose to help Asgard.
Judging from the speed of his strength improvement in the past six months, it is impossible for him to grow enough to defeat Dormammu head-on even in another five years.
Moreover, the mission given by the system did not explicitly mention that Lu Xiao should be able to defeat Dormammu alone, which meant that he could hire foreign aid.
Within the reach of the earth, the two most powerful golden thighs are the Ancient One and Odin.
But Gu Yi has long been determined to die due to the exhaustion of her soul. As long as she finds a suitable successor, she may end her long life at any time.
Odin is no longer in his prime, and has become very weak due to the hard work he has endured in recent years. Even Loki's illusions cannot escape him independently.
If you want to get these two golden thighs to help, you must solve the problems they face one by one.
First of all, we must retrieve Odin as soon as possible and let him enter Odin's Sleep to prepare for the critical moment of Dormammu's full invasion.
On the other hand, to dispel Gu Yi's pessimistic and world-weary thoughts, at least let her persist in living until Dormammu is defeated.
Putting aside the spiritual construction work of Ancient One, if Odin cannot be retrieved as soon as possible and thrown into a dormant chamber, he is likely to wander alone on the earth in a weak state for several years, as the original plot goes, until he finally runs out of energy.
.
Lu Xiao is not interested in the family ethics drama of the Thor family, and it has nothing to do with him whether Hela or Loki wants to seize power.
But Hela, the God of Death, is a woman with a strong desire for control, and her political tendencies are also very dangerous. She advocates ruling the nine realms by force. Once she gets rid of Odin's seal, the nine realms are likely to enter an era of bloody internal strife.
Thinking about it from another perspective, as long as Odin is still alive and has his suppression, Hela will not be able to break out of the seal and cause trouble in the nine realms.
Even from the perspective of world safety, Odin should be allowed to persist for a while longer so that Thor, the orthodox prince of Asgard, can have more time to grow.
According to Thor's description, it is impossible for Loki to kill the God Queen Frigga, and in order to ensure Frigga's safety, there is a high possibility that the Queen Goddess will be placed in a dormant chamber and forced to sleep.
So here comes the question. In order to ensure that Frigga is within his control at all times, Loki will definitely hide the dormant warehouse of the God Queen in Odin's Golden Palace.
Thor wanted to rush to the door to confront Loki, but considering the stable situation in the Kingdom of Asgard, the hot-tempered God of Thunder could only follow Lu Xiao's advice and consider the long term.
Thor, who had grown up in the Golden Palace, knew the structure and defense rules of the palace very well. At Lu Xiao's request, Thor reluctantly endured and tried to recall the simple structure of the Golden Palace.
"Your painting skills...forget it, as long as you can understand it."
Thor's artistic skills are very poor. The lines of the structural diagram he drew are crooked. The guard logo in the Golden Palace looks like a clown's mischievous expression. The whole painting can only be described as abstract.
Thor bared his teeth impatiently: "That's long-winded! I'm not a person like Loki who is obsessed with art. It would be great if I could draw pictures!"
During non-war times, the Golden Palace will not open large-scale defense barriers to the outside world.
Moreover, in the recent battle with the Dark Elves, the core of the Golden Palace's defensive barrier was destroyed from the inside by the cursed warriors. Loki, who was busy playing Odin, had not had time to order it to be repaired.
The next job is Lu Xiao’s old job.
After nightfall, Lu Xiao, with the help of Thor, took a flying boat to bypass the patrol route of the guards and came to the side outside the Golden Palace wall.
This is the route Thor and Loki used to sneak out of the Golden Palace when they were children. Compared with other areas, the defense is weakest.
Looking at Lu Xiao who put on his hood and started to do the final inspection, Thor's expression was a little tangled: "Are you sure you don't want me to go in with you?"
"No."
After the armed inspection was completed, Lu Xiao patted Thor's strong arm and said, "Just wait patiently outside, we must leave someone to respond."
"Sneaking into the Golden Palace to steal the Godly Queen, you don't have to worry about telling those rough guys from the Three Warriors of Immortal Palace, right?"
Thor smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right. The fewer people who know about this, the better... But I suspect Heimdall has already noticed it."
Lu Xiao shrugged: "He has a pair of eyes that can see through the nine realms. Since he has not told Loki about our actions until now, it means that he has acquiesced in our plan."
"Let's stop chatting here, I'm leaving."
Lu Xiao used a rock-climbing hook to cling to the outside of the city wall. Under Thor's watchful eyes, he quickly climbed over the towering city wall and entered the interior of the Golden Palace from the top of the city.
There was no more noise from the banquet in the Golden Palace late at night. The splendid palace was still brightly lit at night, and guards wearing full armor patrolled back and forth in the palace with "clang, clang, clang, clang".
Before setting off, Lu Xiao memorized the structural diagram and guard patrol route drawn by Thor.
Hearing the clear footsteps of this group of patrolling guards disappearing, after a few seconds of silence, Lu Xiao stepped out from behind the pillars and slipped into the passage leading to the east side hall before the next group of guards arrived.
Odin and Frigga's bedroom is located at the deepest part of the entire palace complex. Thor guessed that Loki would place their mother in the palace of Odin and his wife to avoid being disturbed by any outsiders, so as not to reveal their flaws.
A dozen guards stood in front of the palace gate with gleaming spears, which was also the only entrance to the palace.
Just as Lu Xiao was thinking about how to draw the attention of these guards, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the main hall.
"Odin" holding the eternal spear Gangnir strolled in under the protection of a group of guards.
It happened that these two groups of guards needed to be replaced and their vigilance dropped slightly.
Lu Xiao seized this tiny gap and activated the extreme acceleration of the Boots of Hermes, like a dark stream of light streaking through the space. He narrowly missed the gap between the two groups of soldiers and slipped into the palace.
"Plop~Plop~"
The extreme acceleration of the Boots of Hermes put a huge burden on Lu Xiao's body. When he was hiding in a corner of the palace, his heart was still beating violently and his breathing was somewhat heavy. It took him nearly half a minute to
Slowed down gradually.
There are no male guards inside the palace, only some beautiful maids wearing snow-white simple dresses.
Judging from their standing posture and temperament, they should not be the battle maids of God King Odin in Norse mythology - the so-called Valkyrie.
All the Valkyries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe were lost during the battle against Hela, the God of Death, leaving only an inexplicable black Valkyrie.
Are there black people in Nordic mythology? Heimdall's skin color is surprising enough, and the final Valkyrie is even more speechless. I can only say that this is typical American political correctness.
Facing these ordinary maids who had not received combat training, Lu Xiao, who turned on the aura blocker, easily passed by the edge of their sight, and finally arrived in front of a huge luxurious palace.
Loki waved away all the maids in front of the palace hall, leaving no one near the closed marble door.
Turning on eagle vision, Lu Xiao confirmed that there was no one within five meters of the door, and that two life responses, one red and one blue, were located at the deepest part of the palace. Then he carefully opened a crack in the door and looked inside.
"Odin" was half-kneeling in front of the hibernation cabin, gently stroking the hatch cover, and the emotions revealed in his one eye were very complicated.
Under the effect of the A-level aura blockage, Lu Xiao hid in the shadows in a corner of the main hall of the palace without being noticed, and silently observed the actions of "Odin".
As expected, the fake Odin did not live in his parents' palace. After muttering to himself for a while in front of the dormant chamber, he left the palace while looking back many times with reluctance.
"Huh~"
Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and waited in the palace for a few minutes to confirm that no one would come again. Then he walked out of the hiding spot and went straight to the dormant warehouse.
Lying in the dormant chamber was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a calm expression. It goes without saying that she was Frigga, the Queen of Asgard.
