Chapter 1371: The Mystery of the Feast (End)

"Don't call me that, Your Majesty, I'm not here on behalf of Kamar-Taj today." Strange reached out and dusted off the fabric of his neat suit. He looked at Frigga and said, "I saw Odin's raven at the door before I came in. How is the father of the gods? Please say hello to him for me."

"Of course he is fine. He knows everything about Asgard and the Nine Realms."

Strange smiled knowingly and said, "We have prepared the new package of information and intelligence within the Nine Realms that you proposed to the Sanctuary last time. Do you want to see the project list?"

Frigga raised her head slightly, and Strange handed over a document. The Queen of Gods smiled and flipped through the document, saying, "Thank you, sir. You are always in a hurry every time you come. I feel uneasy that I can't entertain you well."

Strange smiled and shook his head and said, "I am a little disappointed that you came and went in a hurry and didn't enjoy the hospitality. "I've never really visited the Asgard Palace."

After saying that, he looked up at Frigga's bedroom. Frigga produced a feather pen and wrote on the document while saying, "But unfortunately, it's not me who is in charge of the internal affairs of the Asgard now, but Thor's future wife Sif. I can't give her instructions... Oh, by the way, she will also be responsible for the reception and security of the guests at the wedding in a few days."

Strange raised his head calmly. Frigga handed Strange a document with some words written on it. Strange took a look and saw some revisions on it. So he looked at Frigga and said, "Then it all depends on your Majesty the Queen of Gods."

"Remember, the Queen of Gods in the future is Sif."

"Of course, your Majesty."

The light on the chessboard returned to dimness, and the last chess piece jumped out with a light step. Professor X landed in the front row, side by side with Thor and Strange.

"I didn't expect you to be interested in the myths of the Shi'ar Empire." Charles blew the hot tea in his hand and said, "In fact, I don't know much about this. I only know that the Shi'ar twin gods formulated the national foundation of 'fusion' for the Shi'ar Empire." Stark, who was opposite him, gently shook the little tea left in the cup, looked at Charles and whispered, "Don't you know anything about the M'Kraan crystal?" When the alien-sounding noun fell on the coffee table, Charles' hand paused, he shook his head and said, "I advise you not to take it, that thing is very dangerous." "For humans, what is not dangerous?" Charles stopped moving his hand, he put down the teacup and looked at Stark, asking, "How did you know this thing? Have you dealt with the Shi'ar Empire?" "When the demons fought before, I picked up some robot wreckage in the corner of the universe. They came from an experimental field called 'Half World Madhouse' in the Shi'ar Empire. The underlying protocol carries some information about the Shi'ar Empire's 'Universe Life Fusion Plan'. . "

"Oh, 'Universe Life Fusion Plan'." Charles lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup again and said, "That was during the time of Mad King Deken."

Stark heard his implication, so he said, "I know that this crystal must be very powerful, and perhaps the mutants are not unwilling to do so, but your current level of technology cannot study it, let alone ensure safety during research, but what if we cooperate?"

Charles raised his eyebrows, looked at Stark and said, "Are you willing to study it for us?"

"We will cooperate in research." Stark stared into Charles' eyes and said, "I have the technology, you have the power, I can guide you to operate, and the results can be shared, and each can take what they need, isn't it good?"

Charles' face showed a trace of coldness that he had never shown in front of his students, but he still said calmly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Recall your past with Eric."

With a "hum", accompanied by a vortex of magnetic force, Magneto's chess piece appeared beside Professor X.

In the guest room of Professor X in Asgard, Charles looked into Eric's eyes and said, "Which is more important, the throne or the crystal? Perhaps both are important, but once the throne is vacant, the nobles' energy will be dispersed to the fight for the throne, and then they will not be able to use any means to track down the whereabouts of the crystal."

Eric leaned his head back, looked at his old friend and said, "So, Lilandra must die."

On the chessboard, Rocket Raccoon's chess piece limped out, and chasing after him was the chess piece of Prince Alan of the Dodel Federation.

Alan stood up with his head covered in the broken vase on the ground. He shook his head vigorously, looked at the disappearing cage of the raccoon, and cursed with gritted teeth.

Suddenly, he turned around and rushed towards the door, but stopped just when his hand was about to touch the door handle, patted his head, and his palm slipped to cover his eyes, whispering, "Calm down, calm down, Alan, now is not the time, Asgard will not make a big fuss for a prince of a small tribe..."

Suddenly, Alan raised his head again, his eyes began to shine, he said to himself: "That damn raccoon said that the Shi'ar Empire was doing secret evil human experiments and threw all the experimental subjects into a lunatic asylum...it said the coordinates, what was it?"

Alan began to pace in the room, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he couldn't help but speak excitedly: "The Shi'ar Empire must not want this secret to spread, maybe, this can be a card in my hand, but I can't touch it rashly, otherwise it will be easy to be silenced."

"Wu Yes... Yes, it's the ball. Maybe I can get close to the queen and test her attitude... Butler! Is the butler here? ! I accidentally broke the vase in the room. Also, can you help me deliver the dress I prepared? I need to check it in advance to make sure I don't act disrespectful in front of the queen. "

The chessboard trembled, and the light became brighter again. The drums sounded, and the lights flowed. Everything seemed to return to the warm atmosphere at the beginning of the banquet. On the chessboard grid, pairs of rotating and jumping shadows appeared to be very active in the horizontal and vertical rigidity.

Lilandra took a step and wanted to talk to Hela about the past, but found that she was preempted by a man. She didn't see the smile on Tony Stark's mouth in front of Hela, and she felt bored because her action was interrupted.

At this time, she heard a deep male voice behind her:

"Hello, Your Majesty, can we chat?"

Lilandra turned around and saw a blue-skinned man with braids standing behind her and smiling at her. The man introduced himself very politely: "Hello, Your Majesty, I am Alan, the prince of the Centauri Dodel Federation. Can I chat with you?"

Before Lilandra could speak, Alan continued: "Recently, the interstellar media in Centauri has been smearing the three empires, saying that they set up a human experiment site here, but in my opinion, this is all nonsense. After all, how could you do those evil experiments as smart and kind as Your Majesty?"

Lilandra's mind was not on communication at all. She glanced around and did not see Charles. She was not a diligent monarch and did not pay much attention to the political affairs of the Shi'ar Empire. She did not understand Alan's deep hints, so she found it even more boring.

"Sorry, my dress is a little wrinkled, which is very rude. I may need to go to the bathroom to fix it. We will talk later."

Lilandra showed a perfect smile and turned to walk towards the bathroom, but as soon as she reached the door, she found that a housekeeper had put up a sign at the door of the bathroom.

"Oh, it's your Majesty. Sorry, just now a multi-legged race spilled some water on the ground after washing his hands. We are cleaning urgently. I'm afraid you have to go to the bathroom upstairs."

Lilandra looked down at her shoes, then looked at the water stains in the bathroom, frowned a little dissatisfied, but still turned and walked towards the stairs.

After going up one floor, Lilandra found that the second floor was particularly quiet. The corridor was far away from the patio on the first floor, and not many people would come here, but she didn't think too much and went straight to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Lilandra didn't really want to tidy up her clothes, but when a woman sees a mirror, she will inevitably want to confirm whether her image is satisfactory, so. She stood in front of the mirror at the door of the bathroom, turned her head left and right, and combed the feathers on her temples with her hands.

Suddenly, a light sound came, and Lilandra was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at the door of the bathroom where the sound came from.

But the washstand was still a corner away from the door, so Lilandra could only take two steps forward and look at the door.

The light in the corridor shone in through the door, forming a bright cut-off angle on the wall. As soon as Lilandra walked out, she saw a dark figure standing in the bright light.

"Ah... um..."

"Bang!"

"Uh!"

As the light became stronger, the shadows cast by the chess pieces on the chessboard became deeper and deeper. Compared with one side of the chessboard full of chess pieces, the other side was empty and there was nothing.

Schiller stood on one side of the empty chessboard and saw Stark walk out from the gap between the chess pieces and stand on the side of the queen statue in the center of the chessboard, facing Schiller.

"It's really a good move." Schiller said with a smile.

"Or, you can also call me your copycat, Dr. Schiller. Most of the inspiration for the layout comes from what you have done before." Stark said bluntly.

"Connect various forces, form situations with people, and push people forward with situations. Those who know the truth are willing to be manipulated by you, and those who don't know the truth have also gone to the position they should go."

"You are like a chess player who manipulates the chess game. You never consider the feelings of the chess pieces, but only care about whether the chess game is arranged perfectly."

Under the brilliant light of the ball, Stark spread his hands, looked into Schiller's eyes and said: "Now I am a chess player. Do you think that you, who don't have a chess piece now, will be my opponent?"

"Who said I don't have a chess piece?"

Stark stared at Schiller's eyes, but Schiller began to pace on the empty chessboard, saying in a rhythmic tone:

"It feels really wonderful to connect various forces, arrange the appropriate scenes, let the key people or objects arrive at the predetermined positions, and then watch the chess game evolve by itself, and finally achieve the desired results perfectly."

"But Tony, I don't remember if I told you that this is just my hobby. My main job is a psychologist."

Schiller stopped and looked into Stark's eyes, while Stark still stood there waiting for an answer. Schiller looked at his honey-like brown eyes, smiled and said:

"Sometimes, chess games do not need clever moves, but vulgar moves."

"Bang!"

A chess piece fell behind Schiller.

The light became brighter and brighter. After the Shi'ar Empire spacecraft landed at the Asgard Starport, the flames of the engine nozzles gradually extinguished.

Schiller, standing in front of the window, rubbed his eyes sleepily. He thought, this is really strange. The Shi'ar Empire arrived so early.

While thinking, Schiller put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Soon, a cloud of gray fog appeared at the corner of the fourth floor of the guest room. Schiller turned into a human again. He stood in the shadow of the corner and waited quietly until more than ten minutes later, when a figure walked into the public bathroom, and then he also walked into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror on the washbasin in the bathroom, Schiller took out the non-existent phone and raised his voice and said, "Oh my God, you don't know what I saw! Do you know the queen of the Shi'ar Empire?"

"Yes, I just saw her. Guess where I saw her? At the door of a human guest room!"

"It's absolutely right. After she got off the spaceship and left the Asgard God King, she went straight to a human bedroom..."

"That's right. It's late at night in Asgard. Do you think the queen will... That's right. Maybe I'm making a fuss. Humans are so weak that they can't even leave their home planet. How could the queen of the Shi'ar Empire have anything to do with a human? "

"...How should I know? But I heard from the butler at the door that the human was called Xavier or something. I don't quite understand the pronunciation of their names, so it's probably."

"Oh, what a pity. I thought I had encountered a shocking gossip. If the queen really cheated, she has so much power that she might be able to divorce her current husband directly. Her husband will definitely not be able to do anything to her..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go back to my room first and call you later."

After saying that, Schiller glanced at the cubicle in the bathroom, then stood in front of the mirror, smiled, and turned his head to look at the chessboard behind him with his face reflected in the mirror.

"Tony, a perfect murder does not come from the murderer's noble status, smart mind, powerful magic, or close cooperation, but only from the evil that is ready to explode in the heart."

"Bang!"

The chess piece behind Schiller hit the statue of the queen in the center of the chessboard, and with a "crash", the statue shattered.

Among the debris on the ground, Stark suddenly turned his head and saw the face of the murderer's chess piece - the husband of the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire.

The light in the bathroom suddenly lit up, and Lilandra saw her husband's face in the dazzling light. The expression on his face contained anger, jealousy, and exasperation, and he was simply twisted into a monster.

"What are you..."

Before Lilandra finished speaking, a ball of lightning composed of divine power hit her chest and knocked her down on the washstand. Lilandra stared at the charred wound on her chest in disbelief.

The light of divine power flashed again, and the soundproof magic wrapped the entire bathroom, and the queen was powerless to resist.

"You damn slut!!!" The husband stretched out the four sharp claws like raptors that are unique to the male nobles of the Fierce Feather Clan, and then used the three main fingers to "swish" across Lilandra's face.

"Ah!!!"

"I knew it a long time ago... I knew it a long time ago!!!" Wang Fu gritted his teeth and muttered, he kept panting, staring at Lilandra fiercely, and said: "I knew you and that human were still in love... I knew it a long time ago!! "

As he spoke, his fingers trembled, he suddenly changed to a terrified expression, knelt beside Lilandra, and said to her in a crying voice: "Lilan, Lilan, Your Majesty, forgive me, I am the one who loves you the most, please forgive me..."

"You even held a grand wedding for a lowly human, and the Fierce Feathers only remembered your grand celebration of twenty days, And you just perfunctorily treated me with a shabby trip, you damned slut!!!"

Wang Fu's expression became ferocious again, he inserted his shaking hand into Lilandra's charred chest, panting and saying: "Don't blame me, don't blame me, Lilandra, this is the tradition of the Fierce Feathers, I have the right to punish my unfaithful wife, I have the right to dig out your heart, this is the power of a husband..."

"You will dump me and then marry that human, you never considered that I will become the laughing stock of the whole galaxy!!!" Wang Fu was almost screaming, his hand went deeper and deeper, Lilandra was breathing out more than breathing in.

"Forgive me, forgive me, this is the only way to redeem our reputation, Leland, Lilandra, forgive me..."

"Puff!"

The lights in the bathroom gradually went out, and with a "hum", the wormhole opened. Magneto, who came out of the wormhole, looked down at the queen's body and the blood on the ground, and lowered his eyes.

In the same space but different time, Star-Lord Quill, holding a sword, and Strange, who came here through the timeline holding the Eye of Agamotto, stood in the same position, staring at the queen's body. Their faces gradually overlapped, and the same words echoed in the bathroom.

"Did someone start it first?"

When all the figures disappeared, a figure walked into the bathroom, and an Asgard housekeeper gently touched the queen's forehead and said, "Your Majesty the Queen of God bless you."

Then, he used his divine power to evaporate the blood, lifted the body, and came to the railing of the seventh-floor patio.

"Bang!"

A body fell from the sky.

That was the queen of the Shi'ar Empire. When she landed, her blood and skirt bloomed on the ground at the same time, like a golden and red flower.

In the rapid drumbeats of the ball, the positions were as usual, and black and white returned to their positions.

Schiller's gray pupils seemed to swallow all the light. When he looked at Stark opposite the corpse, he did not smile as usual, but took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him, stretched out his hand and raised the glass to Stark, toasting from a distance.

They have never been so close, nor have they ever been so far.

Stark, the young eagle, is the best partner in this lonely journey of wind. Every time he falls and flaps his wings, it is proof of the existence of wind.

And the best reward for this is to use wine as a gun in a wider sky, in this endless sea of ​​stars, to toast the detective and the murderer.

Cheers to the eagle who has come all the way, in this magnificent storm, fighting the huge waves, there is always a close friend who understands him better than him.
