Chapter 741 Asgard's Treasure House, Initial Control of the Shadow Kingdom (1/2)
Thor walked into the hall absentmindedly, and several of his friends immediately surrounded him.
"Sorry, I made you worry." Thor showed a far-fetched smile, and then looked at Aaron, "Let's go! My father asked me to take you to the treasury to choose treasures."
"Choose treasures?" Fandral was surprised for a moment, and then looked at Aaron Gaius who was carrying a backpack and putting his pet on his shoulders.
"Why are you looking at me?" Aaron rolled his eyes at him, "I saved you on Earth, and saved Odin's good son. This is the reward I deserve."
"This reward is too high. I really envy you!"
Aaron laughed in his heart. If it wasn't difficult to refuse, he wouldn't agree!
The more valuable the treasures taken away, the more difficult it will be to pay them back in the future.
After arriving at the main hall of the Asgard, passing through several gates, long corridors and stairs, the two came to the treasury of Asgard, a large-scale palace.
"You are here." Odin smiled kindly, "Thor, show your friend."
Thor nodded and introduced Aaron to them.
"The Ice Box, a treasure of the Frost Giants. If the ice energy contained in it is used to the extreme, it can freeze a planet."
"The Eternal Fire, the source of the Fire Giants' power, a flame that will never go out, and it contains powerful magical energy."
"The Monument of Life, my grandfather accidentally obtained it when he conquered the universe. It is said that if you crack the secret, you will have almost eternal life."
"The Infinity Gauntlet, a weapon made by the dwarves, can carry extremely powerful energy, but it has never been used."
......
Thor walked from beginning to end, introducing more than a dozen treasures, each of which has a unique function, increasing wealth, improving wisdom, controlling elements, increasing life, and so on.
Aaron was dazzled by the sight, and he wanted every one of them, but thinking that there is no free lunch in the world, he still suppressed the desire in his heart.
"Which one do you want? Just take the one you like."
"Hmm..." Aaron did not make a decision immediately, but hesitated for a while, "I am a little confused. Is Asgard's treasury built so big just to store these treasures?"
"Not entirely." Thor scratched his head, "There are also a lot of gold and silver treasures, rare medicinal materials, special metals, and alchemical products.
But those things can't be compared with these, and they can't express Asgard's gratitude to you at all."
Gift crab!
Originally, I wanted to take something casually to show my appreciation, but now it seems that he thought too much, Odin didn't intend to give him any chance!
Aaron secretly complained in his heart, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
In the end, he chose the Ice Box. The cost-effectiveness of this treasure is not too high, but the risk is the smallest.
The king of the ice giants, Laufey, is dead, and Jotunheim has suffered heavy losses due to the energy bombardment of the Rainbow Bridge. No one will take this treasure in the short term.
As for the rest, they were either of unknown origin, useless, or extremely risky, so he absolutely could not choose them.
"Are you sure you want it?" Thor said with a strange look.
"No?"
"No, you can."
"Alas!" Odin sighed and cleverly shifted the topic to Loki, "He might be thinking of his brother. Loki has the blood of the Frost Giants, and the Ice Box is the treasure of the Frost Giants."
"Father, don't say it, Loki is dead." Thor said sadly.
"Who said he was dead?" Aaron sneered.
"Hmm?" Thor's eyes lit up with surprise, "What do you mean? Is Loki still alive?"
"I'm not sure about this, but... there's a saying: 'If he's alive, I want to see him, if he's dead, I want to see his body.'
Loki fell into a space wormhole, but if we can't find his body, it means he might still be alive."
"It's also possible that there's no body left."
"Then you really underestimated him." Aaron chuckled and shook his head, "For some people, space wormholes are the best choice for traveling and running away.
Maybe he was just teleported to a corner of the universe and can't find his way home for the time being.
But this is not a bad thing, because the first thing he will face after returning to Asgard is the king's judgment."
Thor's expression froze, but soon returned to normal.
At least Loki might be alive, which is a blessing in disguise.
"By the way, aren't you a fortune teller? Can you..."
"No." Aaron refused bluntly, "My fortune telling ability is limited. If I can get the answer to any question through fortune telling, then I would be an omniscient god."
"That's true."
"Let's go!" Odin said, and took the two out of the treasure house and came to the broken part of the rainbow bridge.
Heimdall, who had recovered from his injuries, stood here with the sword of protection. Although there was no rainbow bridge, it did not affect his ability to monitor the nine realms.
"Heimdall," Thor said hello, "Try to look for him. Loki may still be alive."
Heimdall paused, glanced at the God King Odin next to him, and noticed that his mouth corners were slightly raised before he spoke: "Unless he calls my name, it's not so easy to find him.
In addition, Loki's camouflage ability is very high. If he doesn't want me to find him, I can't do anything."
"Do your best!"
Aaron looked at the broken Rainbow Bridge. The flawless white crystal-like bridge surface flashed with colorful fluorescence, and the weak space energy continued to gather and disperse at the fracture.
"Can I knock a piece back as a souvenir?"
"I can't decide this." Heimdall said speechlessly, "The Rainbow Bridge is made of space crystal, and such materials are quite difficult to find."
"Okay." Odin said indifferently. He now regards Aaron as one of the hopes of Asgard. He can even sell his daughter, so a mere piece of crystal is nothing.
"Then I won't be polite." Aaron shrugged, then took the Guardian Sword from Heimdall's hand, cut a piece at the fracture of the Rainbow Bridge, leaving a very smooth cut.
After putting the palm-sized space crystal into his bag, Aaron picked up Abe and said, "Your Majesty, I'm ready."
"Okay, I'll take you back to the courtyard." Odin said with a smile.
"Father." Thor hesitated, "Can I..."
"No, you have more important things to do." Odin said earnestly, "Repair the Rainbow Bridge, otherwise the nine kingdoms may be in war.
This is your responsibility, let's put aside the personal feelings of children!"
"But..."
"Don't say but, this is an order."
"Yes, father." Thor said, then looked at Aaron, "Tell Jane that I will go back to see her, but it will take some time."
"Some time?" Aaron shook his head with a smile, "I will convey your words, but you'd better give a deadline.
The life span of earthlings is too different from that of Asgardians. Ms. Jane Foster has her own life. If you can't make an effective promise, try not to disturb her life. This will be good for you and her.
Although the words are not very nice, it is true."
Thor was silent for a few seconds, "Three years, no, two years."
Aaron smiled slightly, then looked at the God King Odin, "Okay."
Odin raised the Eternal Spear and stabbed it heavily on the Rainbow Bridge.
With a 'dong' sound, a stream of colorful light appeared on the broken bridge surface, and then a portal appeared at the end of the rainbow bridge.
Aaron performed a standard wizard salute to the three people, suppressed his excitement, and walked into the portal.
......
Boom!
A colorful beam of light fell in New Mexico, and Aaron stood on a circular rune.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the two tents not far away, Aaron immediately realized that the people from SHIELD had not evacuated yet.
"Maybe there is no need to call." Aaron chuckled and said, "This trip is really exciting, don't you think?"
Abe tapped the faucet. It didn't gain much, but it was also a glimpse of a brand new country.
In less than a minute, two agents came running over, "Hello, Mr. Gaius, we..."
"Stop talking nonsense, where is Coulson?"
"We are waiting for you here on the orders of our superior." An agent said, "Superintendent Coulson is in the research institute in town."
"Take me there!"
"Okay, sir."
After getting on the car, Aaron put down his backpack and cast an illusion on the driver, making him think he had been dozing.
"System, open the task panel."
"Okay, host."
[Help Thor regain the power of Thor;
1,200 magic points for completing the task; no penalty for mission failure; accepted]
[Defeat the Destroyer;
1,500 magic points for completing the task; no penalty for mission failure; completed]
"Receive the reward."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task, and a total of 2,700 magic points."
Aaron nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the personal panel.
[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Delicious points: 740]
"I almost forgot to take back the thought body, but it doesn't matter. I have to explore the space channels in Asgard. I will definitely use them in the future." Aaron thought secretly, and then communicated with the thought body, "Where is it now."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's Jotunheim." The thought body looked at the ice and snow around it and said very confidently, "There are several space channels, each leading to a different country."
"Is there one leading to the earth?"
"Yes, but it was destroyed. I guess Loki did it."
"If Thor knew that his brother destroyed his shortcut to visit his girlfriend, his face would be very interesting." Aaron hesitated and said, "Try to repair the space channel leading to the earth."
"Don't you think it's too much to ask a great magician to repair a destroyed space channel?" The thought body said speechlessly, "The space magic we master doesn't support us to do this kind of thing."
"Okay! But I still hope you can study it carefully." Aaron said seriously, "I have a hunch that we will still come into contact with space channels in the future. The more we master space, the less accidents will be."
"That's because I am an avatar. Whether I die or am recycled, it will not have any impact on the main body."
Aaron paused, and heard a strong sense of helplessness in the tone of the thought body.
"Three days, I will take you back after three days, before that, learn as much as possible about the space channel."
"Do your best."
After cutting off the connection with the thought body, Aaron opened the mall interface with some excitement.

Huh!
Aaron took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the yellow evil ghost mask in the item category.
"System, buy Bart's mask."
As soon as the voice fell, the magic points were automatically deducted by 2,500 points, and the Bart's mask was also in Aaron's hands.
"Absorb!"
Wisps of black air floated out of Bart's mask, and these black air merged into Aaron's shadow at a very fast speed.
At the same time, the kingdom of black shadows appeared in his pupils.
Endless dark creatures wandered around him, but they retained enough awe.
"One third of the authority of the Shadow Kingdom, the third Shadow Corps, the Night Bat Corps.
The upper limit of soldiers that each legion can summon has also been increased to 1,500, and this limit can be broken by consuming one's own magic power." Aaron's mouth curled up, and then he refreshed the empty commodity column, and a brand new green ghost mask occupied the empty space.
x-on:Samo Mask (2500 magic points, the wearer can summon the Shadow Corps Troll Corps, Note: Collecting ten masks can control the Shadow Kingdom)
