The Death Knell

At Ragnarok, Asgard fell with the withered Yggdrasil together, and was caught by Deathstroke and placed on the coastal land of northern Alaska. For Yggdrasil, this may be a feeling of coming home.

Thor, Loki and the others went to the space to sail for fun. After finding the branches of the World Tree over there in the DC Universe, of course they had to come back immediately to guard their own World Tree and wait for the results of the grafting.

Planting a tree can't be done in a hurry, not to mention that the tree is still an ancient god, so their days are quite boring.

The earth is now in autumn at 40K, which is probably the most volatile period of climate in Alaska. In addition to strong winds, freezing rain and falling temperatures, the nights in the Arctic Circle are getting longer and longer, and during the shorter days, various kinds of things can often be seen. Wild animals come out to forage and store food and various nesting materials for the winter.

The Aesir were once a people living in the ancient Norse region of the earth, and people always like to learn about survival in the wild from the animals in the living area.

So when autumn arrived and the beasts began to prepare for the winter, Loki suggested to his brother to go fishing on the ice and go home to make smoked fish to eat in the winter. Thor agreed without hesitation.

Strictly speaking, hunting and fishing are all men's business according to Asgardian customs. If the men in the family do not go out to fight and are not completely dead, then it is not the turn of women to participate in this work.

This is not some kind of gender discrimination. Its essence is to protect the mother body that can reproduce offspring during the development of the tribe. The custom of men taking charge of the outside and women taking charge of the house is a wise choice in a chaotic and dangerous environment.

Think about it, if you go out to fight or hunt, if a man dies, then he is dead; but if a woman dies, the many children she would have given birth to will also be gone, which is a big loss.

If manpower is needed to do heavy physical work, then men are high-quality resources, but if population reproduction is needed, women are important strategic materials.

This statement is a bit dark and seems to objectify human beings, but the reality is like this.

But now Thor is a little unsure whether Loki is a boy or a girl. Although he always calls her his brother, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like his sister now.

Fortunately, Odin has died, and now he is the Lord of Asgard, the God King Asa, and he can make the decision on this kind of thing.

He has always loved his younger brother. Today Loki said he wanted to go fishing in the ice cave. Thor was not very particular about those customs and rules, so he quickly agreed to go with her as his younger sister.

Winter is coming quietly in the North, and the silver-covered Arctic Ocean coast is extremely beautiful. White icebergs can be seen drifting on the sea, sparkling in the sunlight.

The north wind blew by with a cool breeze, picking up the thin snow on the ground and floating in the air like soft yarn.

It is a special scenery like white smoke in the sky, which can only be seen in places with snow. Especially on moonlit nights, 'wind blowing snow' always looks extremely beautiful.

There is this saying in many Eastern countries. It is not unreasonable to combine the four things of romance and beauty and link them to the beautiful scenery.

It's a pity that the light during the day is still too strong, and you can only see the faint Northern Lights meandering in the night sky, which is not obvious, otherwise the scenery would be even better.

With the eyesight of the Æsir, Thor could see human villages dozens of kilometers away, with smoke rising from the chimneys, villagers running back and forth on dog sleds, and children playing and playing in the snow. .

Humans are also stocking up on supplies for the winter, and because of its remote location, the wave of space navigation has not affected this small village. They have no electricity or the Internet, but they have avoided the overwhelming three-dimensional advertisements from the adjutant. bombing.

In the distance, deep in the tundra, there is a forest of white birches standing quietly, their white trees almost blending into the snow. Across the sea, on the Arctic ice sheet, one or two polar bears can be seen strolling and fishing.

It seems that there is only endless white left between the sky and the earth. This endless snowfield is silent and profound, like a poem in winter in the north.

Cold yet beautiful, simple yet majestic, it is the favorite scenery in the traditional culture of the Asa Protoss.

"It's been a long time since I've fished on the ice, haha." Thor struck the ice with his big axe. They were not fishing, but setting down a fishing net, which required the hole to be big enough: "Remember when we went fishing together when we were kids? We always got soaked."

A large amount of mist will be exhaled every time he breathes. The weather is getting colder and colder, but it is nothing to God. He still feels that working in this kind of weather is very comfortable.

"Yes, my dear brother." Loki hid his hand holding the big stick behind his back, but his face was full of sentimental and warm smile: "Every time you and the three warriors will eat the big fish, the fish is as big as your finger." The fish were left for me and I remember them very well, they were indeed delicious.”

It also had many thorns, making it difficult to eat, so they could laugh at Loki for eating so slowly and like a pussy.

The Three Warriors of Asgard are loyal to Thor, but in Loki's eyes, they are not a good thing.

"Right? I know you like to eat small fish, haha!" Thor was still digging a hole, and water was already rising up from under the dark blue ice: "You have liked exquisite things since you were a child, even the choice of weapons. Is such that."

In Asgard, where everyone is a soldier and values ​​glory, children must learn to fight when they can walk. The main enemies of Asgard warriors are frost giants, so they often like giant soldiers, such as two-handed battle axes, two-handed war hammers, and two-handed giants. Swords, or even things like large tree trunks or large stalagmites.

Giants are generally more than five meters tall, and one arm is longer than two people stacked together. To deal with them, giant weapons certainly have an advantage.

Only Loki was different. When he chose a weapon, he chose a dagger. This was the first time in Asgard's tens of thousands of years of history.

Since then, Thor has always had a misunderstanding, that is, his brother likes small things the most.

"Well, yes, Thor." Loki smiled and nodded, but he secretly used magic to replace the stick behind him with a larger one. It was originally the size of a turkey leg, but now it is an ostrich leg: "You Be careful not to fall into the hole, have you lost your swimming ability?"

"Don't worry, our mother is from the Warner Protoss. How could I forget my swimming ability?" Thor dropped his big axe. The ice had already been cut through. He was about to take the fishing net and put it into the ice cave: "No need. Worry about me, I’m a great swimmer.”

"Duang!!!" Taking advantage of Thor's opportunity to speak and put down the fishing net, Loki used the jumping stick technique without any instruction, and hit the blond man on the back of the head with the stick.

The Asa Protoss have very high physical strength and are very capable of withstanding blows, but the Frost Giants are not bad either. With one blow from the second princess, her brother was beaten like a green onion, and he fell into the hole he had dug just now. High water splashes exploded in the ice cave.

After throwing the stick into the sea, Loki turned around and ran towards the 'home' where everyone lived temporarily, shouting as he ran:

"Mother, Sif! Thor has entered his own 'Love Monkey'! Come out and see!"
