Chapter 730: Thor Is Ashamed, the Duel Seems Unfair (1/2)
"Your silence tells me that you can't promise." Aaron chuckled and shook his head, saying contemptuously: "Because of a momentary impulse, you took your good friend to die together. Is this the heir to the throne of Asgard?
I think the Asgardian warriors are definitely not afraid of death, but this way of dying is really ridiculous, and it is meaningless."
Thor was autistic, and the strong sense of guilt made him unable to raise his head.
"Even if you succeeded, killed Laufey, fought your way out of the siege of a large number of frost giants with a few companions, and successfully returned to Asgard.
Would you proudly tell your father, the God King Odin, that you defended the dignity of Asgard?
Although the war between the two countries was launched, Asgard and Jotunheim would suffer countless casualties, but the lives of the people are not worth mentioning compared to the dignity, right?"
"No." Thor explained immediately: "I didn't have such an idea."
"But the consequences of your actions are like this." Aaron said seriously, "A few frost giants sneaked into the treasure house of Asgard, which is indeed not a trivial matter.
But you are Asgard "The heir of De, the first thing you should do is to find out the whole story, instead of starting a war based on your own likes and dislikes."
"I already know I was wrong."
"I believe you know you are wrong, but..." Aaron paused, looked at him meaningfully and said, "As a person who has experienced it, I solemnly warn you that some mistakes cannot be made.
Loki lied to you, but since you chose to believe it, it means that his lies may also be true in your eyes.
Think about your mood at that time, do you regret it?"
Thor nodded imperceptibly. For the first time in more than a thousand years, he felt what despair and heartache were.
Jane, Daisy, and Eric all looked at Aaron in a daze. This eloquence really surprised them. No wonder he could make a living in an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. at such a young age.
"And then? What happened?"
"Then my father came, riding an eight-legged horse from the sky, repelled the frost giants who surrounded us, and brought us back with the rainbow bridge." At this point, Thor's tone became lonely, "He said I was vain, greedy, and cruel, and accused me of disobeying the king's clear instructions.
Because of my arrogance and stupidity, the peaceful kingdom and innocent creatures will face the horror and tragedy of war.
He said I was unworthy of those kingdoms, unworthy of my title, and unworthy of the people who loved me that I betrayed.
Then he took back my God's power, in the name of the father of the gods, expelled me from Asgard. "
"You disappointed him, very disappointed him."
"I know, what should I do?"
"Get rid of your arrogance and face the ordinary people around you."
"Uh... can you be more specific?"
"Live on Earth like an ordinary person, experience the life of an ordinary person, and the joys and sorrows of an ordinary person."
"That makes sense." Jane nodded in agreement, "Just stay here with us for now!"
"Jane."
Eric looked at her helplessly, hoping that she would think about it carefully again.
Although Thor is the legendary Thunder God of Asgard, it would be too hasty to keep him like this.
"Eric, Thor is the prince of Asgard." Jane said seriously, "He knows much more about the universe and celestial bodies than we do.
He is a living astronomical bible. We can ask him for confirmation on many academic problems that are difficult to explain by science. Do you want to throw away such an opportunity?"
Eric Selvig:......
It makes sense, but I always feel something is wrong.
"Jane, it's too obvious." Daisy looked at her playfully, "Don't think I can't see it."
Eric reacted, looked at Jane, then looked at Thor, and his heart twitched inexplicably.
No way! No way! Could it be that the cabbage he had worked so hard to raise for so many years was going to be eaten by this guy?
"Your plan is good. Old Bridge Town is indeed more suitable for the novice village of Asgard princes who lack knowledge of Midgard." Aaron said, and then changed the subject, "But I am not the one who ruins the fun. We have to consider the situation outside the plan."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't think you are safe now?" Aaron shook his head with his hand on his forehead, "Don't forget, there is a traitor in Asgard!
He destroyed your kingship ceremony, and it is obvious that he has ideas about the throne of Asgard. Now you have lost your divine power and have been exiled to Midgard by Odin. You have no ability to protect yourself, and no one protects you.
If the traitor wants to kill you, this is the best opportunity. If you miss it, it will be gone."
"As for who the traitor is...it should be the person closest to the throne besides you."
"Impossible." Thor looked straight into Aaron's eyes, and the anger in his pupils was clearly visible. "It can't be him. Don't provoke the relationship between our brothers."
"Brother?" Daisy looked at Eric and asked, "Thor's only brother is Loki, right?"
"Yes, the god of trickery."
"It can't be Loki. He's my brother. We grew up together and have a very good relationship.
Anyone could harm me, but Loki wouldn't."
"Naive." Aaron sneered disdainfully. "No matter what you think, the fact is that during the time you were exiled, Loki was the only heir to the throne.
You said before that he came to Earth to visit you, right?
Excuse me, what did he say to you? Did he just say that exile was a punishment for you?"
"He..." Thor was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something, his pupils trembling slightly, "He said that the burden of the throne now fell on his shoulders.
He also said that the condition for a truce with Jotunheim was to exile me forever."
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Aaron clapped his hands, "The truth is out, the traitor is your dear brother.
He wants you to stay on Earth forever, and not return to Asgard to hinder him from sitting on the throne."
"But...how could this be?" Thor murmured in disbelief, "For the throne, he just cheated me, his brother?"
"Hehe!" Aaron sneered, "Thor, you should actually feel lucky.
The battle for the throne is often more cruel than you think. Not to mention brothers, even fathers and sons may turn against each other.
Loki still has a little bit of compassion for you. He could have killed you at that time and completely cleared the obstacles for himself, but he still chose to spare your life."
"Should I thank him?" Thor said unhappily, as if he was not so angry about his brother stealing his throne, but just a little complaining.
If you want the throne, can't you just say it directly? You can compete fairly. As for playing these tricks behind the scenes?
"In a sense, this is a favor of not killing."
"But he killed Thor!" Jane said indignantly, "If it weren't for him, Thor would have successfully inherited the throne, and all the bad things that happened later would not have happened."
"Earth." Aaron emphasized, "Earth is the middle courtyard of the Nine Realms, and Asgard governs the Nine Realms, which means that Earth is under the rule of Asgard.
I don't mean anything else, but during Odin's reign, human development was relatively free and autonomous, and Asgard only left some myths while protecting the Earth.
But if a brainless, arrogant, and even war-loving God King comes to power, it is difficult to guarantee that humans on Earth will not be inexplicably involved in the war."
Hearing this, Jane and the other two looked at Thor with a different look.
Aaron's words were a bit exaggerated, but according to Thor's previous narration, with his personality... This is not impossible!
But now Thor knows he was wrong, and is seriously trying to get rid of his arrogant personality. Maybe he will be an excellent God King in the future.
Fuck! The three of them are just ordinary people, why do they have to think so much?
"Excuse me." Thor looked at Aaron, "Isn't it me who is brainless, arrogant and likes to start wars?"
Aaron smiled slightly, "No."
"That's good."
"Who else could it be if not you? However, the exile experience in the past few days should make you change, but the brainlessness can't be changed for a while."
Thor squeezed out a stiff smile and clenched his fist in front of Aaron, "I want to duel with you."
"Reckless man." Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "You only know how to solve problems with force."
"Are you afraid?" Thor finally found a little sense of superiority.
"Yes, I am afraid." Aaron said very calmly, "I am just an ordinary person, and you are the Thunder God of Asgard. The duel between us doesn't seem to be very fair."
"My divine power was sealed by my father, and I am also an ordinary person now." Thor argued.
"Can ordinary Asgardians be the same as ordinary earthlings? The physical fitness of Asgardians is more than three times that of earthlings!
If you want to hit me, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."
"I fucking..." Thor was at a loss for a moment, "Yes, I just want to hit you."
"Thor, calm down, calm down." Jane said helplessly.
"Jane, don't stop me, I have tolerated him for a long time." Thor said unhappily, "He has insulted my IQ so many times, this has nothing to do with arrogance, it's purely for dignity."
"Okay! For your dignity... Can I use a weapon?"
"Yes." Thor said without hesitation.
Aaron nodded slightly, picked up the revolver and turned the gun flower, and then pointed the black muzzle at Thor's forehead, "Do you want to experience its power?"
"Do you think this thing will work on me?" Thor said with forced calmness.
"Ordinary firearms can injure Asgardians, but my firearms are different.
It can't kill Thor, the god of thunder, but it can kill ordinary Asgardian Thor." Aaron said lightly, "Let me introduce myself, Aaron Gaius.
Fortune teller, part-time alchemist."
"Alchemist?" Thor's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that the gun in Aaron's hand could really threaten his life.
"So handsome!" Daisy pursed her lips excitedly, and her eyes seemed to be full of stars when she looked at Aaron, "Alchemist, fortune teller, etc., they sound a level higher than astronomers."
This made Jane and Eric roll their eyes at the same time, which really boosted others' ambitions and destroyed their own prestige.
This silly girl must have forgotten that they are astronomers!
"You have vision. I also have some research on astrology and divination."
"Then we can watch the stars together when we are free." Daisy smiled.
'A guy who values love over friendship. 'Jane gave her a contemptuous look, then looked at Aaron, "Put down your gun first."
Aaron shrugged and put away the 'Snake' revolver, "I'll give you another free word, you must obey your heart when it's time.
But with your personality, it's probably difficult to learn this."
Thor remained silent. He had never known what surrender was.
"Okay, let's get back to the point.
Loki, the god of trickery, is now temporarily sitting on the throne of Asgard, but he didn't take the opportunity to kill Thor, which means he is still safe for the time being.
But there is a premise, that is, Thor will stay on Earth and not pose a threat to the throne.
And once Thor has the intention to go home, his situation will become very dangerous."
"Does that mean he is now jumping back and forth on the edge of safety and danger?" Selvig said with a complicated look.
"That's about it, but he's in greater danger than you might think, because a lot of it depends on Loki's mood.
To be more precise, danger can come at any time. After all, Loki is the god of trickery, and he won't give you any signs if he wants to stab you."
"I will live an honest life in Midgard, and I won't..." Thor said with difficulty, "I won't try to contact Mjolnir until I'm qualified."
"That's good." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, "This will buy you some time, but not too long. Loki is much smarter than you, and he's not that easy to fool."
......
Asgard.
In a palace, Thor's four companions, the three warriors of Asgard, Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg, and the female warrior Sif, are gathered here.
"Our best friend has been expelled, Loki has ascended the throne, Asgard is facing war, and you are eating and drinking here.
Four wild boars, six chicks, half a cow, and two large barrels of beer, I am ashamed for you." Fandral said as he walked up to Volstagg who was chewing food and slapped the plate in his hand, "Don't you care about anything?"
Volstagg stood up, "Don't interpret my appetite as indifference."
"You two, that's enough." Sif shouted, and Hogan also stepped forward to make peace, "Stop it."
"We all know what to do." Sif whispered.
"We have to act." Hogan agreed, "We have to find Thor."
Fandal looked at him hesitantly, "That's treason."
"Go to treason." Volstagg said, "That's suicide."
"Thor will also take risks for us." Sif murmured.
"Stop talking." Volstagg covered his face, "Heimdall might be watching us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace gate suddenly opened and a soldier walked in, "Heimdall wants to see you."
The four looked at each other, not expecting the plan to fail before it even started.
