Chapter 2695 Hollywood Rhapsody (Fifty-three)

Schiller probably understood the logic of what Loki said. For a long time, probably during the period when they grew from teenagers to young adults, Loki's identity was very awkward.

When they were children, they had no obligations or responsibilities. After all, no matter how crazy Asgard was, it was impossible for them to send children to the battlefield. According to Schiller, the birth rate in Asgard was very low, and every child was a treasure. The childhood of the two of them was spent in a carefree environment.

But once they began to grow up, they had responsibilities that they had to bear, that is, like every Asgardian, they would contribute to their country with their military exploits.

War is a machine that cannot be stopped in a normal way once it starts. Every Asgardian involved has his own difficulties and is helpless, but they also enjoy the benefits brought by the war dividend, so naturally they cannot be immune to it, and the same is true for Odin.

As a king, since he is the one who drives this huge war machine, his son must be able to drive it. As the heir chosen by Odin, Thor must prepare early to take over the reins of the fiery horse from his father.

Loki is not the heir. To be more precise, Odin cannot let Loki inherit Asgard, because he cannot bear such a responsibility regardless of his physique or identity, so he'd better stay away from these things.

Even if he wants to do it, Odin will definitely exclude him from the power center early, which is good for everyone. Thor can better take responsibility, Loki has not tasted the taste of power, and will not have the loss of gaining and losing again, and Odin himself can smoothly hand over Asgard to the heir.

The only sacrifice is Loki, because in the environment of Asgard, everyone must contribute to victory. If you can't fight, then you go to manage logistics. If you can't manage logistics, you go to do scientific research. If you can't even do research, then stay at home and have children.

But Loki couldn't do all of the above.

First, because of his physical condition, he couldn't fight. His deception magic was not suitable for the front battlefield. It was not as efficient as the Asgardians' boarding battles. It would be a thankless job to force it.

He couldn't manage logistics either. Frigga had always been in charge of this aspect. Only the Queen of Gods was qualified to share half of the power of the King of Gods. A prince couldn't do it. Odin wouldn't give Loki such a specious idea.

He couldn't do scientific research either, because most of Asgard's weapons and spacecraft depended on divine power. Loki's divine power was weak, so he couldn't participate in most experiments. The rest was the same as logistics work. Mastering weapons was also a ticket to enter the core of power. Odin wouldn't give him such an idea.

Then there was only one way left, that is, to breed offspring. Although Loki didn't know that he was a descendant of the Frost Giants at that time, he also knew that his congenital weakness might be passed on to his offspring. Not only could he not contribute to Asgard, but it was also easy to hinder him.

But Loki has always been obsessed with offspring, just like he easily accepted the existence of Helen, just like he would rather go on blind dates across the universe to have a child, and even failed several times without giving up.

Schiller used to think that he regarded his reproductive value so special, just like some human parents who wanted to use children to make up for their shortcomings and realize their wishes.

People always have such a vision, hoping to raise their childhood again, and make up for their unhappy childhood in a completely different way without regrets.

Loki should have been like this. With such an identity in Asgard, he must have too many regrets that always appear in his dreams. If he has offspring, he can make up for these regrets.

But now it seems that this is not the case. He does not need to raise himself again, because there has always been someone who raises him in a normal way, that is his brother Thor.

Sometimes Schiller also finds it difficult to tell whether Thor is really simple or wise, or whether he is actually a combination of the two.

From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who can play the role of the simplest brother in the complex royal power struggle. Thor is one of them, and he has been steadfast from beginning to end.

In other people's eyes, Loki has many identities, such as a non-heir who cannot touch power, a frail magician, and an unpopular second prince, but these perceptions of him by others seem to have no effect on Thor, and even Odin's perception of Loki cannot affect him.

Thor's logic in treating Loki is always different from that of others. He excludes all complex identity perceptions and firmly and resolutely treats Loki as a younger brother.

In this way, many of his shocking actions are explained. He brought Loki to the front line not to express dissatisfaction with Odin or to intimidate others. He just wanted Loki to exercise his body because he had also gained a better physique through fighting and exercise.

He let Loki's pranks go, not because he wanted to indulge Loki or flatter him, nor because he was really stupid and had no ability to expose him, but because he just wanted to give in to his younger brother and not bother with him.

He made Loki the prince not because Loki had the ability or there was no better choice besides Loki, but because he trusted Loki.

The regrets that should have appeared in Loki's life, with Thor's attitude, don't seem to need to be made up for.

Then looking at it from the other side, Loki's desire to have a child may have exactly the opposite motive. If Thor gives birth to a child and he also gives birth to a child, then there may be another pair of brothers like them in the world.

Loki thought this was a blessing.

Talking about using children to attract Thor's attention, in fact, the essence is nothing more than this. Loki is getting more and more anxious, maybe not because of Frigga's urging of his life-long events, but simply because Thor's child is about to be born. If he doesn't have another child, there may be a big age gap between the two children and they won't be able to play together.

Loki actually hopes that his children can have a childhood like his own. When he first came to this conclusion, Schiller found it very counterintuitive.

Because from the perspective of public perception, Loki's childhood was not very happy. After all, he was frail and sick, and was always the one who was not chosen. He was not as good as his brother in any place. Each of these factors was very important to his childhood. It's a lingering shadow.

Generally speaking, such people's desire to have children will decrease, just like a person whose native family is relatively unlucky and does not want his children to repeat his own mistakes.

But Loki actually felt that such a childhood was very happy. He hoped that the arrival of a child could recreate it all. Even if this child was likely to be like him and not have that good physique, he believed that he could get the same result as himself back then. of happiness.

In other words, in Loki's eyes, Odin's lack of choice, the disapproval of the Asgardians, the weakness and torture of illness, all these negative emotions combined, compared with the positive emotions Thor brought him None worth mentioning.

Schiller was really curious about how Thor did it. After all, although he was Loki's psychiatrist, he did not interfere in the private lives of the two brothers. In Loki's few words, Thor was A reckless man and an idiot who never has anything nice to say.

After finally getting the chance to go back to the past, Schiller wanted to see what magic power Thor had. Loki was not the kind of person who was easily satisfied. In other words, he and Schiller were essentially similar. Both of them were Very greedy, and the need for affection can be said to be insatiable.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. As soon as Loki opened the door, a tall figure blocked the light.

"Are you okay?" Thor asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with you? Sif said you have to wear that shabby clothes, so what's the good in that?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Loki rolled his eyes and walked into the room. Thor also walked in. He rubbed the bottom of his nose and said: "Well... you are not injured, right? "

Loki opened his arms slightly, and Thor looked at him carefully, and then said a little annoyed: "Then why did you tell the doctors that you were injured? Didn't I tell you not to lie?"

"That's what they diagnosed themselves." Loki's eyes almost rolled to the sky. He said, "I said I'm not sick, but they insist on saying that I am sick. And that Heimdall..."

"You must have lied to them." Thor said with an expression of "I don't know you yet", "Even if you didn't lie to them, you still planned to lie to others, but you can't lie to me. You will follow the patrol fleet tomorrow. Go out on patrol, I'm leaving."

He turned around and walked out. Before he walked out of the door, he couldn't help but look back at Loki. Loki turned his back to him and looked out the window, not even giving him a look. Thor had to stand by the door and said: " If you are really uncomfortable, then go the day after tomorrow, but you are not allowed to lie to others. "

Loki still ignored him, Thor stood there and sighed, shook his head and turned away.

Schiller said in the communication: "What is his attitude? Why does he think you are a liar?"

"Didn't I lie?"

"ah?"

Schiller was stunned for a moment, then said: "But you didn't lie to those doctors. They insisted on saying that you were injured."

"But didn't I lie to Stephen?"

Schiller paused briefly and then said: "But that's not the same thing, right?"

"He didn't say that I must be lying to the doctor. He knew that I might be lying to other people, and he might even know that I was lying to the vague shadow who had a fight with him, but he didn't stop me."

"so what?"

Loki stood by the window and looked at the planet that was flying past the fleet, and said: "Neither you nor Stephen realize the seriousness of this matter - I, the second prince of Asgard, a person who would not go to the front line in the first place. People ended up on the front lines.”

"Today he dressed strangely and behaved strangely. He disappeared for a long time without any reason while the team was stationed at the stronghold. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious man attacked the prince of Asgard and kept questioning Thor."

"After being locked in a room by the emperor, he disappeared again. The follower of the swaggering secret fleet refused to explain when he came back, and planned to blame the important minister Heimdall."

"Let me ask you, if this matter were placed among the human royal family, what would happen to me?"

Countless fragments of China's five thousand years flashed through Schiller's mind, and then he said with certainty.

"You can still stand here and breathe. Odin and Thor are so indecisive."
