Chapter 167 Loki's Ambition, Big Incident at the Bar
"Since you are the three goddesses of Norn, you should know the rules."
"Oh?"
The woman with the older voice was suspicious and asked Loki: "New point of view, what rules do you want? Loki."
"You have to answer me a question."
Loki looked at the thread of fate hanging above his head and said to the other party; "Anyone who enters the residence of the three goddesses of Norn can ask you a question about fate."
"Hehe."
A crisp laugh sounded, and Loki saw the girl who appeared just now flashed by him again.
The other party smiled and said to him: "We can't guide your destiny."
Loki was a little surprised, "I always thought you guided destiny. I know many people who can do it, such as an Indian who picked up snake bones in the swamp and would use his little fingers to fiddle with them, let them rotate in his hands, and observe the way the mud and water were thrown out."
"Because in this way he can see what he will encounter that day. He can also crush cranberries in his palms and predict the weather through their crumbs, or put his hands on the bark to know what birds are living on the tree."
Faced with Loki's strange metaphor, the three goddesses of Norn did not speak for a long time.
After a while, the woman with the older voice said to him: "Destiny is irrelevant and insignificant. There is no macro design or script. It is just the direction of your choice. Loki, you want to see the future through the destiny branch, which is impossible."
Loki nodded and asked the other party: "I guess you are the goddess Urd, right? I am not very interested in the future and destiny. I just want to ask you a question, but does asking questions require me to sacrifice something?"
Loki gestured with his hand, "Or we can exchange information. I can tell you some of my secrets. Of course, I can also tell you about the secrets of my brothers. For example, there are several magazines with unhealthy content under John's bed."
"No, Loki, your secrets are worthless."
Goddess Urd interrupted his nonsense directly.
"You want to ask where the Book of Magdalene is?"
The youngest goddess suddenly appeared beside Loki again and asked him with a blink of an eye.
"Yes, this shouldn't be a difficult question, right?"
Loki looked at the lively goddess in front of him, "Perhaps you can tell me the answer for my father's sake."
The faceless goddess Urd said, "We were born from the world tree and weaved the web of fate. The fate of all existences can change at any time because of choices. Loki, you are eager to have the Book of Magdalene, but this will not achieve your goal."
"Well, I believe it, but didn't you just say that fate is irrelevant? Why now, it seems that you are talking about the destiny of fate again?"
Loki quickly changed the subject, "Okay, let's get the topic back on track. I want to know where the Book of Magdalene is."
The three goddesses were silent for a moment, "Georgetown, Maryland, if you want to get the book, that will be the place that will lead you."
Before the goddess Urd finished speaking, the young goddess suddenly appeared behind Loki and said to him, "I am looking forward to how you can rewrite the ending of your life."
Startled Loki looked at the young goddess in surprise.
Is this a god of fun?
"Okay, thank you. Maybe I can bring you some gifts next time."
Loki thanked them in a good mood.
"But I have another question. Why can I come here in my dream? Why doesn't my father know you exist?"
"The web we can weave is not complete enough, so we can't link to more possible futures. Your perception in the dream world is extremely sharp, so you can feel our existence."
Goddess Urd explained to him.
"I understand. In short, you are not strong enough now, right?"
Loki expressed his understanding.
The three goddesses of Norn fell silent again.
"Okay, I have to go. In short, thank you for your help."
Loki said hello to the three goddesses in a good mood and turned to leave.
When he walked out of the room full of silk threads, he found that the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and he returned to the courtyard again.
Walking a few steps along the courtyard, Loki opened his eyes and found that he had woken up.
Getting down from the bed, he looked at the world tree emitting a faint light in the courtyard.
If he wanted to find the Book of Magdalene, he needed to go to Georgetown, Maryland.
But it's not easy to go so far away from home now.
His brows frowned slightly.
The next day, early in the morning.
Star-Lord was showing Clark his newly learned magic.
He shook his small bag, and something like dice inside made a whirring sound, "I collect bones, and I can tell fortunes through bones."
Clark coughed, "Great, you can do witchcraft too."
Clark originally planned to go to the Torch Newspaper with Chloe to do an interview.
But he met Star-Lord on the way, and he was forced to perform magic for him.
Facing Clark's complaints, Star-Lord nodded and said, "That's right."
Clark was skeptical, and he thought that Star-Lord was just bragging.
"You know, Clark, the universe has its own laws, and these laws are usually hidden behind people's sight, unless someone can see deeper or is willing to study them."
Star-Lord said seriously: "For example, I can see who you came with today."
Star-Lord took a bone out of the bag and put it on the table, "It's Lana, right?"
After hearing what Star-Lord said, Clark looked at him in shock.
The other party was actually right!
He did run into Lana when he came in the morning.
"How did you do it, Star-Lord?"
Clark asked the other party in surprise.
"This is the secret of magic."
Star-Lord said proudly: "This is also the secret of fate, Clark, I can see your fate, see some things in the past, present and future."
Seeing that Star-Lord was getting more and more arrogant, Clark coughed and interrupted him.
He knew that if he didn't show it, this kid would definitely keep on being arrogant.
What he didn't know was that every time he saw Lana, the smile on his face would betray his good mood.
In this way, Star-Lord easily guessed that he must have met Lana in the morning.
"It seems that you can start the stage performance with Zatanna."
Clark picked up the bones in Star-Lord's bag casually, "This is an animal bone, right? Where did you get it?"
"From the flea market."
Star-Lord put the bones away, "That's a good place. I found a lot of out-of-print tapes there, and there are also about the Rolling Stones."
"Cool."
Clark listened to Star-Lord's talk and nodded.
Loki, who had just got up, saw the two people talking as soon as he went downstairs.
"Hey, Clark, where's Dad?"
"Dad went to Metropolis to deal with something. He said he might not be back today."
Star-Lord said to him, "I guess he might be going to deal with the bar."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
After hearing what Star-Lord said, Loki's eyes narrowed immediately.
Since his father was out for a day and couldn't come back, maybe this was his chance.
Thinking of this, Loki immediately started to act.
On the other side, Metropolis Bar.
Peter was being questioned by the police.
"Are you the owner of the bar?"
"Yes, I am."
Peter looked at the body lying on the ground, which had been burned to charcoal, with a calm expression, "But I rarely come here, and the affairs of the bar are handed over to the manager Todd."
"But we can't find him now, Mr. Padrick, do you really know nothing about what happened at the scene?"
"I don't know."
Peter rushed over quickly after receiving a call in the morning.
On the way, he listened to the bar staff briefly describing the situation.
A guest was sitting at the bar drinking when his body burned for no reason.
Even though the security guards and waiters used fire extinguishers to spray at the other person, the flames on the other person's body could not be extinguished, and finally he was burned to charcoal while wailing.
Peter originally wanted to contact the manager of the bar, Todd, but he disappeared and the phone could not be contacted.
"Okay, this is my personal contact information."
The police handed him a business card with a phone number, "If you find anything, Mr. Padrick, you can contact me directly."
Peter nodded and put the business card away.
He looked at the charred body on the ground, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Who dared to do something in his bar?
What caused this obviously abnormal fire?
Magic?
Or something else?
"Haven't you contacted Todd yet?"
Peter asked the waiter next to him.
Todd Burley was the original owner of the bar. After Peter took over the bar, he had been handing over the bar's business to him.
"We have been trying to contact him, but there has been no news. We can't get in touch with him by phone or email."
The waiter said that he couldn't contact the manager either.
"Where is his address?"
Peter asked the waiter. He planned to go to the other party's house to take a look.
After dealing with the police and handling the on-site matters, it was already evening.
Peter was about to leave the bar and go to Todd's house.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
Peter looked at the other party's figure and was slightly stunned.
The other party had an unforgettable exquisite appearance, and his figure was full of sculptural prominent lines, showing a strong aura.
The black jacket and black leather pants perfectly highlight his figure.
After entering the bar, the other party looked around and finally turned his eyes to him.
