Among the long-standing customs of Asgard, there is indeed a rule that every person who reaches a thousand years old must do something grand.

But as far as Frigga's inner thoughts are concerned, one thing is that she actually doesn't want to celebrate, and she doesn't plan to hold any ceremony.

the reason is simple.

Before the Queen of Gods, she cared more about her identity as Odin's wife.

Every birthday he celebrates means that Odin is one year older. If it were hundreds or thousands of years ago, Frigga might not have cared too much about it, but now that Odin is about to come to the end of his life, she will always unconsciously create some negative associations in her mind, and then have some negative associations with Odin. The future feels grand and uneasy.

Just like an old man, he is more or less worried that his wife will die first, leaving him alone in the end. Frigga's mood is actually not difficult to understand.

However, as the goddess of Asgard, Frigga had to act according to the rules.

After all, this birthday not only involves herself, but also is a day of great significance for the Asgardian civilians who wholeheartedly support the royal family. To put it bluntly, even if she doesn't care, she still has to consider the reason that holding celebrations can strengthen cohesion, and cooperate with the wishes of the people, and use this day to provide them with an opportunity to release their emotions.

It is a responsibility and an obligation. Sitting in that position, there are certain things that have to be done. After being the Queen of Gods for so many years, Frigga knew exactly what choice she should make.

"I understand." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei put the invitation letter into his backpack: "How long will it take? I have to think carefully and prepare a better birthday gift for Frigga."

Hearing Shi Xiaolei's words, Thor remembered the advice he had heard from Frigga before coming.

"No, no, no." Thor quickly shook his head and said very seriously: "The queen mother said, it's fine when people arrive, no need to bring any gifts."

"Eh?"

"That" scratched his head, and Thor smiled naively: "Have you forgotten? When you went to Sakaar before, you took out the Mind Stone and asked me to use it to create an exclusive artifact for my mother. Hehe, Ai Cui and the others have been working on it for more than a month and finally finished it a few days ago. "

"That's a staff. The queen uses it very easily, and she likes it very much. Let me tell you this, she is still worried about how to give you a gift in return. If you give her another birthday gift, haha, On the contrary, she will be even more embarrassed and don't know what to do." At this point, Thor smiled again: "Maybe that's not the exact words, but that's what she meant. In a word, just go with nothing. Okay, there’s really no need to prepare any more gifts.”

"What are you talking about if you go empty-handed? Forget it, you have already said this. Then I will just bring some snacks and drinks to eat and drink. They are not too precious things. This is no problem, right? ?" He waved his hand casually and blocked Thor's refusal with a tone that could not be refuted. Shi Xiaolei changed the subject and continued to ask him curiously: "Finish the custom-made artifact for Frigga. What did you just say, a staff? Is it similar to Loki’s?”

I thought it would be nothing if it was just eating and drinking, and Frigga wouldn't really feel embarrassed. Following Shi Xiaolei's inquiry, Thor also turned his attention to a new topic: "It's shorter than Loki's. I think it's more suitable to call it a short staff. As for the style, I don't know how to describe it. , anyway, it’s better looking and much more refined than Rocky Root.”

"After all, it is built with infinity stones as the core. Although the orb used by Loki to make the staff is quite good, it is obviously inferior to the infinity stones." Shi Xiaolei said with a matter-of-fact expression. He nodded: "What about the effect of the staff? Is it strong? Compared with the Kungnir in your father's hand, how far is it?"

"Well," Thor unconsciously showed a wry smile: "If I had to choose, I still think the new staff in the Queen Mother's hand is more difficult to deal with."

"Huh?" This answer really surprised Shi Xiaolei: "Are you sure? Isn't Kungnir stronger?"

"It depends on which aspect you compare." Thor replied: "In terms of lethality, Kungnir in the hands of my father is definitely more powerful. You know, he fought with his father in the nine realms and defeated A powerful artifact for countless enemies.”

"Then you said the staff is stronger?"

"You misunderstood, I said it is more difficult to deal with." Thor reiterated with a serious look.

"Is there any difference?" Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes.

"Of course. Take me for example." Thor began to explain: "If the enemy holds Kungnir, uh, I mean someone other than my father. With Mjolnir , even if I can't win, I won't be stopped in one encounter. But if it were the dream in the Queen's hand, oh, that was the name given to the staff by the Queen, I forgot to tell you just now."

"The name is not important. If it were Frigga's staff, you wouldn't be able to withstand even one face-to-face meeting?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true." Thor sighed helplessly, and lowered his head with an unlucky look on his face: "After being hit by the attack released by that staff, you will fall directly into an illusion and cannot tell the difference. Reality and illusion. What I mean is that even if the queen does not do it herself, if it is someone else who can activate the staff, the effect will be unstoppable to me. "

Replacing the sentence with someone else made Shi Xiaolei guess: "Is it Loki?"

"Yeah." Thor groaned depressedly: "With the staff lent to him by his mother, that guy played with the illusion spell. If the queen hadn't stopped him, I would have been embarrassed. Face. You don’t know that the illusion created by that staff can directly affect your mind, making you take the originally absurd things for granted, and you feel that it should be that way.”

"Wow." Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but widen his eyes: "The effect is so strong?"

"I almost thought I was a pig." After saying this sentence, he realized that he had said something wrong. Thor quickly changed his words to make up for it: "In short, that thing is very evil, it is the type that is hard to guard against, and it is particularly bad. Deal with it. Let's put it this way, it's a good thing that the queen got the staff and didn't let it fall into Loki's hands. Otherwise, just thinking about it would give me a headache. "
