The Death Knell

"I understand, Master."

Strange nodded and accepted the appointment. Because aliens were not considered human beings, there was no problem if Deathstroke asked him to blackmail aliens as a diplomat.

Of course, at least that's the case for now. Although I don't know exactly what to do, as long as I don't lose money, it will be fine, right?

"As long as you understand, then I'll leave first. I have to go see Asgard. After all, as the host, I also have to see how Frigga and the others are living on earth." Su Ming smiled and patted Si. Strange stood up on his shoulders and said: "In short, remember one thing, you must take the initiative in the transaction, be strong, and don't embarrass Kama Taj and the earth. If it doesn't work, just give up. Do you understand?"

"understood."

The mage who was smoking, drinking and perming his hair was left to eat his meal in the small igloo. Su Ming returned to the world of ice and snow with gin.

After walking a hundred meters in the direction in my memory, I suddenly passed through a barrier that looked like warm water.

In an instant, the broken Asgard appeared in front of the two of them, almost unchanged from when it fell. At most, the bones from the original battle were gathered together and thrown into the abyss of the World Tree.

Gin, who was wearing a women's suit next to her, was a little emotional. She had never thought that the glorious Golden Palace in the past was all that was left now.

If the Sun Wheel Palace was not still standing intact, she might have thought it was some kind of garbage dump when she saw it.

Rubbles and broken wood, twisted metal, scorch marks from fire, etc. were all scattered along the way. The empty ruins of the city were like a ghost town, with only the howling of the wind ringing loudly.

"The battle at that time was probably very tragic, wasn't it?" she asked her man.

"Probably, but they are not at a loss." Su Ming walked in the city with his hands behind his back, following the movement in the distance: "Although I made sacrifices, I created a way to get rid of the big snake and the god in the shadow. opportunity, which is equivalent to once and for all.”

Gin hugged his arm and brushed his long platinum hair: "Death with honor is indeed the result of pursuit for the warriors of Asgard, but now there are not many people left who can share the fruits of victory. "

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and counted on her fingers. The only Asgardians still alive today are Frigga, Sif, Thor, Loki, Skolki the Executioner, and the Valkyrie who was living on Sakaar. Brünnhilde, and then the sisters who were resurrected by themselves.

They were disheartened by Odin's arrangements, and now they have become accustomed to life on Earth, and it is impossible to return to Asgard.

In this way, even after the World Tree is reborn, there will still be no one in this city.

Su Ming had lived with her for so many years, and of course he guessed what she was thinking. Although she used to hate Odin for sending them to attack Hela, which was tantamount to death, but now she feels sad when she sees the place where she once lived turned into this. .

What she broke with was the people who once lived here, the Heavenly Father Odin, the Mother of the Gods, etc., but not the city itself.

Su Ming can understand this feeling, let's give an inappropriate example.

It's like a little girl who was born in a small village. Her parents died. She worked hard at moving corpses for a long time, but in the end she was plotted by the village chief and almost died outside.

But she survived, moved to a big city, and lived well. However, one day suddenly, she heard that this village had been bombed by a nuclear bomb from the future...

It’s normal to have mixed feelings.

"Don't think so much. Thor and Loki will find a way for those who died. For them, if the sky falls and there is still the World Tree on top, why do you worry?" Su Ming touched her head. Looking at the Sun Wheel Tower under the aurora, it is still magnificent.

After all, it’s not completely finished, right?

Walking through the bumpy streets and following the sound, I found three people living in the city, and happened to see them working.

This is where the garden used to be, and now a small piece of farmland has been reclaimed. Frigga is taking Sif and Skorchi to weed the field. What they planted seems to be wheat. It hasn't grown up yet and looks green.

Speaking of magic that changes the local environment, this is also the specialty of Karma Taj's lineage. Even the courtyard in the Himalayas can make it look like spring all year round. It is not difficult for Strange to help them create a small field. .

It seems that the severe trauma in the past did not knock down Queen Frigga. She is now trying her best to be self-reliant, although there are some problems with the method.

Seeing the arrival of the Supreme Mage, Skorchi immediately smiled and bent down to salute. Although it seemed a bit awkward, he knew why he survived.

Frigga, on the other hand, had a strange expression when she saw Gin, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Hi, Sif."

Gin didn't pay attention to the queen, but smiled and greeted Sif with a scythe in her hand.

Although the latter had only been in the Valkyrie's team for a few years, he could still be considered an acquaintance.

"Misty." Sif forced a smile, walked out of the field and hugged Gin, sniffing: "It seems you all know, my brother and the others..."

"I know, and if my man hadn't knocked you unconscious and sent you out with a coffin made of World Tree and a Hall of Valor box, you wouldn't have been able to escape your fate." What Gin said was somewhat of a show off. Her man is very strong, and she feels proud of him.

This is the custom of Asgard. If a man is better at killing enemies, is better at hunting, and has more wives at home, it is a sign of ability.

"Thank you, Supreme Mage." Sif bowed and thanked Su Ming, but like a conditioned reflex, she reached out and rubbed the back of her head: "Although it is not glorious, it is good to be alive. You saved The Queen and I, I misunderstood you back then.”

Su Ming shook his head and raised his hand to signal her to stand up: "You're welcome, and I hope you can understand. The agreement between Odin and I is to deal with the man in the shadow and stop Ragnarok. For this goal, I can only wait for the World Tree to wither. , only when the long night falls can we see the opportunity for insects to come out of the tree trunks.”

The Queen of Heaven, who was wearing a fur cloak and silver armor, nodded and expressed her understanding. After all, Ragnarok will not come again, and those shadow gods have also perished. Houses with weak foundations can only be renovated after they collapse. Asgard is Same reason.

As long as the world tree is continuously fed by those living corpses in the future... It's a bit disgusting, but that's the deal between Deathstroke and the world tree.

Now that she had no worries, and with Thor and Loki as hope, she couldn't ask for more.

Just when she saw Misty, she couldn't raise her head with guilt. After all, the mothers of the gods had captured her and imprisoned her in prison...

"You are the benefactor of the Asa Clan, we will remember this." Frigga took a long breath and wiped the sweat from her head: "But I also want to ask, how is my sister? How is she? Are you alive?"

"The World Tree is located in Asgard, so your kingdom cannot operate, but Vanaheim is different." Su Ming raised his head and looked at the sky, the aurora slowly twisted: "Gullwig is fine. But only after the World Tree is reborn can that leaf be inserted back into place."

"Thank you again, would you please come with us to the palace to rest and have a drink?" Frigga smiled and made an invitation gesture sideways, pointing to the Sun Wheel Palace in the distance. Its existence saves the trouble of building a house.

However, Su Ming shook his head and declined the other party's kindness.

"I see you're trying to farm?"

"Yes, after all, bread is the staple food. We can't always go to the sea to fish." Frigga looked at Sif being dragged away by gin and answered the death knell's question.

The Supreme Mage walked to the edge of the field and twirled the green leaves with his fingers: "Don't you ever think about other ways of life? You must know that you are on the earth now."

"What does this mean?" Frigga didn't understand. Is there anything wrong with the way of life and self-reliance?

Su Ming took out a few U.S. dollars from his pocket with his backhand, balanced them between his hands, and showed it to the Queen:

"Although it is a result on the physical level, in fact, Asgard's fall to the earth has also brought you into a very mature market environment. There is no need for you to develop agriculture and fisheries from scratch. What you need to do is, Just go to the city and find a job, earn dollars, and exchange the currency for food and other needs.”

"But we still have to rebuild this city..." Frigga understood somewhat. Although Asgard has always been a system where Odin is responsible for feeding everyone, Deathstroke's commercial transformation of Vanaheim, She also heard about it.

The earth's currency does make sense, but if your home is in such a state of ruin, you can't just ignore it, right?

"Then you make money to buy cranes, cement and steel bars. If you have tools, you can work faster." Su Ming put the money into the hands of the Queen of Heaven and the executioner, as if it was five dollars each: "You plant wheat here, and the wheat will ripen I still have to grind flour, and then make bread after the flour comes out. In this time, I don’t know how much money I can make.”

Frigga was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed.

"But I don't know what I can do?" She looked at her hands and touched the sword at her waist: "I can fish, hunt, and fight, but are these skills really valuable in human society?"

"Of course, Your Majesty, for the sake of Asgard, please debut and become an idol." Su Ming showed an encouraging smile.
