The first ambassadors sent to New Asgard by human officials were drunk at the Golden Palace banquet.

They didn't want to, either, but these Asgardians were too enthusiastic and too good to drink.

Formal visits can wait until they sober up.

The ambassadors are accompanied by a number of journalists who are visiting the legendary land of the Golden Palace, who will use their own lenses to document the daily life of the Asgardians.

There are also many programs similar to the mystery genre.

Of course, not all reporters have the same "internal connections" as Clark and can go directly to the Golden Palace to shoot, and the vast majority of them are still applying for access, and it is predictable that most of them will not be allowed to interview.

The Asgardians are not without friends on Earth.

As for the behavior of these media, the diva already knew a lot about it during the lockdown period.

Those lace tabloids who are good at creating explosive fake news are not allowed to set foot on the land of Asgard at all, and only the most impartial and objective mainstream media can get a glimpse of the magnificence and splendor of the Golden Palace of God's Domain.

There are also some ignorant guys who directly ask if they can interview the god king Odin up close.

This impudent request was immediately refused.

And not to mention how noble the status of the king is in the royal state of Asgard, it is impossible to talk about the current situation of the god king, and it is impossible to allow reporters to disturb it.

Odin entered the God's Sleep.

This time it's true, not a deception with a purpose.

He will sleep for a long time this time to make up for the injuries caused by the shattering of the godhead, but fortunately, the divine power in Odin's body is majestic enough to barely maintain the stability of the godhead, not as miserable as Hela or the serpent.

In the dormitory of the Golden Palace, the queen of heaven, Frigga who still looks a little sick, is adjusting the runes of the God's Sleep Altar for her husband, so that his divine power combing process will be smoother.

Next to the queen of heaven, stood a pair of her own children.

Thor and Loki.

The bloody story of the Odin family has been known to Thor, and he has two older sisters, both of whom are trying to kill their father's rebellious sister at all costs.

Hella won't talk about it, she has a criminal record.

And since the end of the War of the Ten Realms, Hela has mysteriously disappeared, and neither her father nor her mother has ever mentioned her name again.

But Angela, the first daughter of Odin and the Queen of Heaven, is now imprisoned in the lighthouse by the sea of New Asgard, which is currently Asgard's greatest secret.

Angela's appearance and her assassination are too bizarre, as well as her past life experience, which involves the secrets of the angelic realm, which is destined to be less likely to be leaked out in a short period of time.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, that's what it means.

"I will represent Asgard in the human world in the near future to meet with the authorities."

Thor looked at his sleeping father and said:

"By the way, go to the mainland to see my friends."

"Mainly to see your little lover, right?"

Loki leaned to the side, holding a bitten apple in his hand, and said in a strange way:

"Jane. Foster, the human woman who bewildered you, didn't you take Sif with you? I'm looking forward to watching them fight for you. ”

"Loki!"

The queen of heaven scolded, and she said:

"Don't be so mean."

Thor's expression was not very good-looking, probably thinking of Jane's recent situation, and he spoke unceremoniously, and he said to his sister:

"Jane is seriously ill, and her days may be numbered, I do want to see her, and if I can, I hope to bring her to Asgard, Queen Mother, and our healing magic may save her life."

"Then bring it."

The queen's expression hasn't changed much.

As she took her handkerchief from the golden basin and wiped her husband's cheeks, she said:

"I'd love to see my son's choice of wife, and for Jane's good care of my son, I'll do my best to save her if I can."

"But healing magic isn't a panacea."

Loki took a bite of the apple and chewed on it, flicking her long black hair in boredom, as if she were deliberately hitting Thor, and she said:

"Asgardians can get sick too, earthlings are more vulnerable than us, magic can indeed banish sickness, provided she can persevere under the wash of magic..."

"What the hell are you trying to say? Loki. ”

Thor glared at his sister.

The latter shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone:

"I mean, I've got to tell you to calm down, Thor, human life is like a seemingly gorgeous soap bubble that bursts at the slightest poke, and a random disaster can take their lives..."

"If you can't do it, you have to be prepared to lose her, you can't be like a childish child, trying to hold everything in your hands."

Loki chuckled and said:

"Isn't there no magic on Earth? This seemingly poor world has hidden magical power far beyond your imagination, because of your relationship, Jane is not an ordinary person, maybe she has already looked for the help of magic. ”

"You have to be mentally prepared, that's what I'm going to say!"

Thor clenched his fists.

He really wanted to rush up and punch the foul-mouthed Loki.

But after all, it was his relative, his younger brother, who had spent 1,500 years together, even though she had now become a younger sister.

He glared at Loki, who looked indifferent.

After a few seconds, Thor sighed, released his fist, and he turned to the queen of heaven and said:

"Queen Mother, I'll go see the ambassadors, the mead of Asgard is too much for them, maybe we need to arrange a few healers."

"Well, go ahead."

Frigga leaned on her staff, turned back to Thor and smiled, and said:

"My son, you are the one who knows the most about Earth among the people of the Divine Domain, and it couldn't be better for you to come into contact with them. Also, the stonemason you talked about earlier..."

"Mr. Randolph."

Thor said to the diva:

"He was the father of my friend, the faithful Asgardian warrior Skorch, and the bravest general under his father's command. He spent more than a thousand years on Earth, amassed a great fortune in Europe, and was a celebrity in the upper echelons of Spanish society. ”

"He is willing to use his connections to help his country adapt to the world faster, and establish a safe enough channel of materials and information, if you agree, mother, I will inform him to meet you at the right time."

"Then let's arrange it."

The queen nodded, and she said:

"Now that Asgard is in ruins, we need some people we can trust, and if Mr. Randolph wishes, I can appoint him as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Divine Domain, with full responsibility for the communication between the Divine Domain and the outside world."

"Skolch will take care of it all, Queen Mother."

Thor said to the diva:

"He's been living in the Golden Palace recently, you can call him at any time, I'll go first."

With that, Thor leaned over the queen and glanced at Loki, who was leaning against the pillar, before turning and striding away.

The Queen of Heaven watched her son leave the palace, she turned her head to look at Loki with her staff, she was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Loki, you're deliberately provoking your brother, why? What do you think about that Jane. Foster has an opinion? ”

"Nope."

Loki finished eating the apple, threw the core into the trash can next to her hand, and said in a calm tone:

"I just think that Thor seems to prefer to be an earthling rather than an Asgardian, and after Asgard entered the earth, he was the first to adapt to this country, and even a little happy... It made me feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Really?"

The queen took a few steps forward, and Loki took a step forward very obediently and grabbed his mother's arm.

As she walked forward, Frigga said pointedly:

"You're a very smart kid, you've been since you were a kid, Loki, but you rarely hide anything from me, probably because you were raised by me... That's not why you're provoking Thor, you're not so careful. ”

The diva patted Loki's finger and said:

"You are guilty because you are not convinced, just like when you were a child, always trying to prove that you are better than Thor, and challenge him everywhere."

"I still remember when you were a kid you always liked to use magic to trick Thor, turn him into a frog, or disguise yourself as a snake, Thor loved snakes, he loved it since he was a child..."

"Every time he catches a snake, you will change back to your original form to scare him, and occasionally poke him with a dagger, he will bleed, but he will never learn a lesson, and the next time you see a snake, you will still be excited to catch and play."

The diva sighed as she and Loki walked over to the terrace as she looked at New Asgard at sunset.

The golden and warm sun shone on this land that did not belong to this world, and in the distance, some Asgardian soldiers were training in the endless grassland.

Knights gallop in the sun, and there are sky-catching warplanes patrolling the airspace.

In the rebuilt city, where people who had been busy all day were partying, or hanging out in lively bazaars, the war was over, and although the results were not good, the people embraced peace again.

Everything needs to be contrasted, especially after the war, and peace is so beautiful.

"You have been unconvinced of Thor since you were a child, but this disbelief has not translated into worse things, on the contrary, in this kind of rivalry, you have become the best brothers."

"When you grew up, you behaved very obediently and always followed Thor, but the stubbornness in your eyes never went away."

The queen of heaven looked at her country, and she said to Loki, who was silent beside her:

"You've been living in Thor's shadow, and I heard about what happened in the Void, and it wasn't Thor's that told me."

"Even though you betrayed him with bad behavior, he still chose to defend you, hiding his grievances in his heart, forcing a smile on his face, and not wanting to destroy your image in my heart and that of your father."

"He's still defending you the way you were, even if you did something wrong, Loki."

The queen sighed, and she said:

"Even after Thor has made it clear that he will not relinquish the throne, you still haven't let go of your anxiety. I'm guessing you know it yourself, and the conflict between you and Thor isn't about the throne, or because of your parents' concerns..."

"The biggest contradiction between you is that you always want to prove that you are better than Thor, but Thor never responds to such provocations, he takes his defense of you for granted, he has the heart of a king, which is probably why your father values him."

"Loki, Thor never fought with you for anything, and you lost this challenge from the beginning."

Faced with the diva's words, Loki did not refute.

She stood behind her mother, and after her mother finished speaking, Loki remained silent.

Under the light of the setting sun, Loki suddenly felt that his behavior was quite childish, and what the queen said was very right, and she didn't want to continue to hide it.

She held out her hand to her mother, and in the sunlight, the runic illusion that Frigga had blessed with Loki's own hand when she was a child dissipated, revealing ice-blue skin, fingernails, and red runes on her arms.

The finger exuded a chill, and in the sunlight, it looked like a slightly hideous work of art.

"I see."

Loki said coldly:

"I've known this secret for a long time, I've seen Hela too, I've talked a lot with Hela before you and Odin found out, I've been to hell, and a great devil told me all about it."

"I'm not your son, I don't have Asgardian blood in me, I'm not brothers with Thor, it's not my home, I don't have anything but lies..."

The queen of heaven looked at the arm that exuded coldness, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

And Loki's speech wasn't over yet.

With a kind of hatred, she said to the queen of heaven:

"That throne will never belong to me!"

"It was only after Thor gave it up that Odin saw me as a possible heir, but I don't want what he gave away, you are right, Mother, my conflict with Thor is not on the throne."

"Actually, it wasn't until Thor gave up the throne that I really realized that there was only one thing I wanted!"

"I don't want to live in the shadow of Thor for the rest of my life, even if he has abandoned his responsibility to this country, but everyone is still telling me that you have to learn from Thor!"

"Huh"

Loki sneered, and she said:

"I did betray Thor, but it was for the sake of the country, and I did, I brought back the Power Gem, and I was close to saving the country with my own hands."

"I'll admit that I was too eager to find out that Angela was harboring evil intentions, and my desire to win blinded me, but do you know what's worse? Mother. ”

Loki put his hand on his mother's shoulder, and she whispered:

"You don't need me and Thor to pay for this country at all, you have already arranged everything with Raven, you don't trust us at all, you don't believe me, you don't even trust you."

"That's just because your shoulders are too young to bear the expectations of an entire kingdom!"

The queen interrupted Loki's speculation.

She reached out and took Loki's cold arm, she turned to look at Loki, looked her daughter in the eye, and said:

"It's true that you're not my child with Odin, but Loki, does it matter? We have lived together for 1,500 years, and I have always regarded you as a real son, is the difference in blood really that important? ”

"Look me in the eye and tell me, do you really see me as a conspirator and not a mother?"

Loki looked into the eyes of the diva.

There was pain rolling in her green eyes, and finally, she lowered her head and hugged the diva, and she said:

"No, Mother."

"I'm still your child, and that's why I'm still here..."

"But I'm leaving, you're right, Thor's shadow hangs over me, I have to leave."

"Get out of this shadow and find my own life."
