The Death Knell

One evening a few days later, the location was off the coast of Norway.

There is a series of very inconspicuous small islands here. There are a total of 150,000 large and small islands in Norway, and the island in front of you is no different from its compatriots except that there are people on it.

These islands were formed millions of years ago when glaciers receded and cut the continent. However, as the earth's temperature has warmed in recent years, fewer and fewer of them are still exposed above the water.

The rock walls are made of rocks that have been polished white by wind and frost. The sea under the cliff is constantly beating against the island, making rhythmic music.

The island is covered with moss, like thick grass, but today's season makes them look slightly reddish-brown.

A small stone house is located in the middle of the island. It looks like it has just been built a few days ago, because not only the moss on the walls is still there, but even the wood used as the roof is still growing.

The house is very simple. When you open the door, there is a fire pit with a pot on it. Not far away is a bed made of stones, with an animal skin mattress spread on it.

There is nothing else but the so-called four walls of a family.

Not far from the hut, two people were sitting on a rock by the sea, each holding a fishing rod.

Although there are more microorganisms near the island, fish will be attracted, but because of the complex undercurrents and waves, the fish will become alert, so fishing here is not a good choice.

However, neither the man with two crows standing on his shoulders nor the other guy with a cigar in his mouth paid much attention to this.

"Actually, if you give me some accommodation and food expenses, I can arrange a bed for you in the nursing home affiliated with the New York Charity General Hospital. Then maybe you can make some new elderly friends, play chess with them, and bet on some soft bears. Sugar or something.”

The man holding the cigarette spoke. He raised his chin and looked at the position of the fish float. It was a fake butterfly, and its wings could even flap.

The old man with the crow standing on his shoulder shook his head and rejected the proposal with a smile:

"The Aesir and Vanir are also called the Nordic gods in Midgard. A long time ago, we used to live with the people here. Since I can finally rest for a while, let me enjoy it quietly here. Be at peace.”

"The London Temple is not far from here. Master Merlin's men are enough to ensure your safety, not to mention Heimdall. There is plenty of tranquility..." Su Ming raised his hand and shook it towards the sky as he spoke. He shook his head, as if to say hello: "However, thank you for abiding by the agreement and paying me my reward. I was worried that you were unwilling to give up the throne earlier, and I prepared a backup plan."

"All you want is for Hela to succeed, and the inheritance of peace has also diluted her resentment towards me in the past. It is a better choice for our family and Asgard." Odin shook his head, his fishing rod was better than The death knell is much more primitive, just a brown branch tied with a thin thread: "I also know my own situation. Today's fairy palace needs a king with both strength and wisdom. Although she is a little cruel, but It also meets the requirements, so I will save you the step of releasing the phoenix in Asgard, haha."

Su Ming moved his eyes away from his high-end sea pole and looked at the branch in Odin's hand. In fact, this thin branch with no leaves even fell was transformed from Gangnir. The shining golden spear can not only become The fishing rod can also be transformed into a walking stick or a small tree.

In mythology, Odin became obsessed with an activity after gaining the wisdom of the World Tree, which was private visits in private.

He would often disguise himself as a one-eyed old beggar, dirty, smelly, and covered with abscesses. He would appear in some villages in Northern Europe on snowy and windy nights, knocking on people's doors to ask for a drink.

If someone gave him wine, he would answer a difficult question for the person or give him a horse or cow as a reward.

Of course, it's okay if you don't give him alcohol. There won't be any danger to his life, but he won't get any benefits.

Odin's personality was very different when he was young and when he was old. This behavior made Su Ming always wonder whether he was taken over by the World Tree.

"She doesn't care about whether she becomes the God King. She just wants to fight for the breath of the past, so she didn't ask for the Eternal Spear at all. This symbol of the God King is still in your hand." Deathstroke moved his hand and pulled it. Click the fishing rod to let the butterfly flap its wings: "Now her goal has been achieved. After finding out that she couldn't tan herself, she has been sleeping in the Golden Palace for the past few days. Frigga is still in charge of government affairs."

Odin, who was wearing ordinary cloth, nodded. He now looked like an ordinary human being, even the aura on his body was gone, as if he had blended in with the atmosphere of the surrounding fishing village.

He said: "This is also part of your plan. Maybe she will get too bored soon and give up the throne again?"

"Almost, and I'll let Loki play with it." Su Ming confirmed this statement: "She likes silence and darkness. Now the freshness of pure light has not passed. The vanity of succeeding as the God King makes her a little happy. . She will definitely get tired of it in a few years, because she will find that the so-called God King has to work too much than her Queen of the Underworld, so she might as well leave it to the next person who wants to be the God King more."

"Loki?"

Odin smacked his lips, but he did not tell the origin of his son.

He, Frigga and Deathstroke knew about this, but apart from that, no one else, including Loki himself and Heimdall now, knew that the child was actually a frost giant.

"This is also a big hole left by you when you were young. You always compared Loki and Baldr, but you didn't give him a fair chance. His goal has always been to become the God King and prove that he is better than his brothers. They are stronger."

Su Ming took a puff of his cigar. The aroma made him feel as if he had returned to Havana instantly, and he continued:

"But once he sits on the throne and shows off to Thor for a few days, and his brother praises him again, 'You are better than me,' he may feel empty in an instant, and give up the throne to Thor and find other fun on his own. .”

Yes, Hela and Loki's demand for the throne is not the power and power it brings. They are both people who are very confident in their abilities and believe that they can make a career without inheriting Odin's kingdom. Come.

They want the throne just to win, that is, to compete for favor in front of their parents.

Of course, Hela's situation is more complicated. She is the creation of the elderly Loki in another timeline in the future. She is a girl shaped by a "story". Strictly speaking, she is not Odin's biological daughter.

As for Odin's other daughter Angela, he thought she was dead, but Su knew that the girl was not dead and had already prepared a backup plan for her.

But those are just trivial details. Under the premise of Ragnarok, everyone is actually a grasshopper on a rope, and reincarnation is not picky.

Now the only choice for Odin's family is to cooperate with Deathstroke's plan and completely stop the dusk in this cycle.

Of course, this will lead to Odin's eternal death, but he has already looked away. Didn't he see that he is now spending his remaining years here?

"Okay, Asgard will be handed over to them after all. My life is coming to an end... By the way, shall we eat fish tonight?" Odin once again skillfully used the 'Asa style' to explain. topic, pointing to the empty buckets next to the two of them.

Su Ming put away the fishing rod transformed by God Killer, left the fishing line to Odin, and took out the satellite phone from his pocket to dial:

"You can't catch fish even if you live on an island. The location of your holiday cabin is too poor. I'll call it airdrop. Have you ever eaten bluefin tuna? One for each person tonight."
