Chapter 494 The Tall Smurf
Thor is of course not referring to himself, nor his brother Loki.
After a period of adaptation and running-in, Thor and Loki joined forces to allow Asgard, which had changed its ruler, to smoothly complete the transfer of power.
During this period of time, there were also some small frictions between the two people, which was because the two people had certain differences in philosophy.
But at the same time, I also have a clearer understanding of the other party's abilities and some of my own shortcomings.
Now that Asgard can't do without Loki, even Thor is used to asking his brother's opinion on many things, how could he push Loki out under such circumstances?
What's more, it is impossible for Loki himself to be willing to go to Ethan's place again - he has no objection to going to have fun occasionally.
Torti's people are actually the adopted daughter of Thanos who came to Asgard with Ronan last time, that is, Nebula who unfortunately became a prisoner in the last war.
After a period of detention and interrogation, Thor discovered that although Nebula was the adopted daughter of Thanos, this daughter had no gratitude to her adoptive father, and just wanted to kill Thanos wholeheartedly.
For this situation, Loki was skeptical at first, but after his many tests, what Nebula said seemed to be true.
Considering the origins of these adopted daughters of Thanos, it is not incomprehensible to have such a thought.
Coupled with the fact that most of Xingyun's body has been transformed, it can be inferred that her childhood did not seem to be very happy, and it is really not surprising that she would hate Thanos from the bottom of her heart.
After confirming this point, Xing Yun's life in Asgard became much easier, and no one would make things difficult for her.
After imprisoning her for a period of time, because she was very honest, Thor directly released Nebula from the cell.
She no longer needs to live in a cell that is clean and well-equipped but only has a small space. Instead, she gets a house of her own in a relatively remote location on the outskirts of the town. She can move around the town at will, Live like a normal Asgardian commoner.
It seemed like a cause for celebration, and even with the light guard around her, it looked like she had a lot of chances of escaping Asgard.
However, she behaved very honestly, as if she wanted to live in Asgard honestly, which made Loki, who had been staring at her and expecting her to do something, didn't know what to do.
Ethan appeared at this time, and said that he wanted to find a "veteran" who was good at spaceship driving and had rich experience in space adventures for some help.
Loki thought that he could throw this hot potato to Ethan. Anyway, Ethan needed such a talent, and Asgard didn't want to bother about Nebula anymore—it was impossible for Nebula to settle down. Generally speaking, it is a very conservative country. Asgard does not welcome any ethnic group other than the Asgar to settle. Even the countries that surrender to Asgard all live on their original planets.
If Ethan doesn't come, after a while Thor will let Nebula go and let her leave Asgard where she loves to go, as long as she doesn't bother Asgard anymore-if there is another time, Thor I'm afraid Er won't be so easy to talk to, the biggest possibility is to chop her up with the Stormbreaker.
"So that's how it is."
When Thor told Nebula's situation, the person involved was also brought into the hall by Asgard's guards.
Since Odin abdicated and more people fell asleep, this place has become Thor's territory, but Thor prefers to stand on an 'equal' position with his friends compared to Odin always sitting in that chair on chat.
But it does not mean that anyone can enjoy this kind of treatment. As an invader who participated in the attack on Asgard and became a prisoner, Nebula cannot enjoy this kind of equal treatment. When Nebula was brought into the hall, Thor Er has returned to his seat, and reprimanded Xingyun's previous crimes as a god king.
"However, since you didn't really do any harm to Asgard, you have performed very well during this period, so Asgard is not going to pursue your crime too much."
Nebula looked up at Thor who was sitting high on the throne, then looked at Loki who was next to Thor, and Ethan who was standing not far from him.
Especially Ethan, she was very impressed with this man, because Ronan was killed by this man, and Ronan's countless subordinates and a huge Cree warship were also killed by him.
It wasn't a small warship, but a colossal monster. As a result, such a huge warship couldn't even resist this person's blow, and was directly blasted into dust in the universe—what a terrifying force? Is this really something one person can do?
She suspects that this man has the strength to fight Thanos.
Thinking about these things in her mind did not make her ignore any of Thor's words. Nebula, whose body has been transformed almost entirely, is not difficult for her to be distracted and process different messages.
She didn't pay much attention when she heard that Asgard was not going to continue to pursue her crimes. Although it seemed that her days of 'house arrest' were coming to an end, she had no plans for what to do next.
After hearing the God King on the throne say that she would let herself work for this man named Ethan in front of her for a period of time, she suddenly felt that this was not a punishment for herself, but an opportunity?
So Thor asked if she agreed to this condition: work for Ethan for a period of time in exchange for freedom; or continue to stay in Asgard and continue to "serve prison"?
Nebula chose the former without hesitation.
She could vaguely guess that even if she chose to continue serving her sentence and was imprisoned, Asgard would not detain her for too long and would release her soon.
Because she was useless to Asgard, she had already told the two people on stage all she knew about Thanos.
But she still chose to 'work' for Ethan for a period of time. She wanted to observe Ethan closely and judge whether he had the strength to fight against Thanos.
If not, she can finish her 'work' and leave; if so, maybe she can use his power to deal with Thanos?
Ethan stood there quietly all the time, and when Xing Yun kept looking at him, he knew what the blue-skinned girl was thinking.
The two daughters of Thanos who appeared in the movie universe, whether it is Gamora or Nebula, all hate Thanos to the bone (of course there are some complicated feelings mixed in, after all, the two daughters were raised by Thanos) , all he wanted was to kill this father, but he acted like a good baby more often than Gamora, while Xing Yun was always looking for a strong man who could fight against Thanos.
Originally, she thought that Ronan was strong and might be able to cause some trouble for Thanos, but Ronan was killed by the Asgardians before he had time to find trouble for Thanos—she didn't know Ethan's identity yet.
But the situation is not too bad, at least she found a stronger existence.
"What kind of job is it?"
"It's a very simple job, without any danger to life. The key is that I need a veteran who is familiar with this kind of work."
Ethan didn't say much, but simply described that he needs someone who is good at spaceship piloting, who knows how to judge whether a planet is a habitable planet, and ensures that there are no undetectable hidden dangers on the planet to help. .
Nebula wondered why Ethan was looking for such a person? After all, several advanced civilizations in the Milky Way have almost divided up most of the habitable planets. Did the Asgardians discover any shortcuts to other galaxies and plan to explore new areas?
Of course, she would not have thought that what Ethan wanted to explore was not the planet of this world, but these things would depend on the later development before deciding whether to say it or not.
Nebula is a good talent, she meets Ethan's various requirements, but it is not easy to control.
But Ethan still couldn't give up his plan to find Star-Lord, because he needed to borrow Star-Lord's spaceship.
Even if Ethan knows where there are spaceships waiting for him to pick them up, he is not going to bring Prometheus and Nebula, two completely unrelated existences together, and immediately entrust them with important tasks, the result will definitely not be very good it is good.
He will first ask Xingjue to help him explore and appraise the situation of the star next to the training ground... and even the surrounding planets before he considers going to 'retrieve' the Prometheus, and then let Nebula get acquainted with it. A 'new ship', while teaching myself and Hill the most basic knowledge of space navigation.
It is foreseeable that the learning of space navigation and spaceship driving will not be completed overnight. Nebula will also need a period of time to explore the various systems of the Prometheus. It may form a 'combat power', which is the fundamental reason why Ethan still wants to go to Xingjue.
"When does it begin?"
"I'm going to find someone, and I can start after I find him."
Nebula looked at Ethan, then at Thor on the throne and Loki beside him.
"I'll go with you, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No problem at all."
The person who replied to her was Loki. It was a good thing for Asgard that Nebula left early. At least he didn't have to bother to monitor this guy every day. It was not an easy job.
Of course, Ethan didn't mean to object, he waved directly at Xingyun, and then the 1.8 meter tall blue-skinned alien girl left the hall with Ethan, and went to the Rainbow Bridge to find Heimdall.
With the help of Heimdall's eyes, he quickly found Star-Lord Peter Quill, but what Ethan didn't expect was that Peter Quill was now on a planet called Ego - that is, Star-Lord's The body of the biological father.
