Northern Europe.
Asgard.
Loki walked through the dim western-style corridor and entered his own temple. The black hem of his clothes swayed in the interlaced light and shadow. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and stopped where he was.
In the center of the black temple, a blond figure in red was standing there quietly with his back to him.
"Thor." Loki raised his eyebrows, "It's rare that you would come to my temple on your own initiative..."
Thor turned around slowly, staring at Loki with his deep blue eyes, his expression extremely serious.
"There are only three days left before the Great Xia Lord comes to Asgard." Thor's low voice echoed in the temple, "Things shouldn't have developed to this point. Asgard has no reason to be an enemy of Great Xia...
We should never have put Asgard in such danger."
"Oh, my dear Thor." Loki stepped forward, sneered and shook his head.
"It seems that you still haven't figured out the situation. Becoming an enemy of Daxia is not a decision I made alone. I, Loki, don't have that much power. This is a joint decision of the four great kingdoms of God."
"But the four great kingdoms joined forces to attack Daxia, and it was Asgard that took the lead in organizing it! It was you who went to other kingdoms to persuade them to join the alliance!" Thor reached out his hand, grabbed Loki's collar fiercely, and growled:
"Asgard has existed for so many years and has rarely taken the initiative to provoke other kingdoms of God. This time, my father is willing to bet on the entire Asgard and become an enemy of Daxia. Why is that?
What exactly did you instill in your father?"
Thor lifted Loki's upper body with one hand. His narrow eyes gradually turned cold, and he spoke lightly:
"Who do you think you are, Thor?
Who are you to question me on behalf of Asgard?
How do you know that I'm not doing all this... for the good of Asgard?"
"You? I don't believe you." Thor said firmly, "You are just an evil god who wants nothing more than chaos in the world! A complete villain!"
"Evil God? What's wrong with the evil god? Do you think you are a good thing?" Loki sneered, "Have you... forgotten how Iden died?"
When Thor heard the word Eden, his eyes narrowed.
Loki continued:
"One hundred years ago, if you hadn't refused to sacrifice a mortal to ask the goddess of youth Idun for the fruit of life on behalf of the so-called 'good gods' of Asgard, how could she have been forced to sacrifice herself to keep that useless Bragi alive because of the shortage of fruit of life?
Good God? Hehehe...
In the whole of Asgard, only Iden, the goddess of youth, who sacrificed herself and gave her fruit of life to save half of Asgard, can be truly called "good".
And weren't you the ones who caused the death of this good god?
Sacrificing a goddess of youth in exchange for the lives of other gods in Asgard, how is your behavior different from my sacrificing mortals in exchange for life? "
Thor clenched his right fist, veins popped out on his arm, and stared at Loki with slightly red eyes.
His eyes were filled with anger and pain.
After a long time, he suddenly loosened Loki's collar, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:
"I will keep an eye on you, Loki... No matter what you are up to, I will not let you continue to harm Asgard."
"Whatever you want."
Loki casually walked up to his throne, lay on his back, crossed his legs, and felt indescribably comfortable.
Thor just stood quietly under the throne, looking at him coldly.
Loki glanced at him with his narrow eyes, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Can you...keep an eye on me?
He slowly closed his eyes, and a wisp of his soul wrapped around the black right ear, piercing through the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Kunlun Xu.
Si Xiaonan and the other two, wearing veils wrapped around their heads, walked around the barren land again, but still could not find any trace of the door.
"It's really gone." Si Xiaonan frowned, "How can we get out now?"
"Someone must have moved this door because they didn't want us to leave like this." An Qingyu thought thoughtfully.
"God of Great Xia, have you noticed us coming in?"
Si Xiaonan's expression turned serious.
Although she and Leng Xuan were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han, they were the only ones who knew clearly about this matter. In terms of identity, she was still a spy from the foreign god who had infiltrated Da Xia. If she was really captured by the god of Da Xia, she would probably not have a good ending.
The most important thing is that if they are caught in Daxia, some subsequent plans will be difficult to implement.
When An Qingyu heard this, he was about to ask something, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
Until now, he still knew nothing about the identities and purposes of Si Xiaonan and the other man. Even though he had guessed in his heart that they might have been coerced, this little information alone was not enough.
He wanted to ask for more information, but because of the existence of Loki's Ear, he didn't dare to test it casually.
As if he had noticed An Qingyu's dilemma, Leng Xuan was silent for a moment, then stood up:
"I'm a little hungry. I'll go find something to eat."
Before, due to Singh's existence, it was very difficult for Si Xiaonan to find time to be alone with An Qingyu. Now that Singh is dead, the three people present are all family members, so some things will naturally be easier to do.
As long as Leng Xuan leaves temporarily, Si Xiaonan and An Qingyu can have a free environment without being monitored.
Si Xiaonan quickly understood Leng Xuan's intention and nodded.
When Leng Xuan walked away completely, An Qingyu was about to speak, but Si Xiaonan made a gesture to him to keep quiet, then stretched out his hand and waved it in the void. A huge gauze condensed from the air, covering the two of them and blocking the spread of sound.
"Okay." Si Xiaonan nodded, "Loki's methods are too strange, so it's better to be cautious in everything."
An Qingyu let out a long sigh, "Now, can you tell me what happened?"
"Yes." Si Xiaonan paused, "The story starts from when we left Cangnan..."
…
The other side.
Leng Xuan put his hands in his pockets and walked casually along the edge of the barren land.
He wanted to leave enough time for Si Xiaonan and An Qingyu to be alone, but at the same time he couldn't arouse Loki's suspicion, so he could only pretend to be looking for fairy birds or beasts.
Just as he set his eyes on a fat white crane, he seemed to have noticed something and his body shook violently.
He looked down at the back of his hand and saw that the black ear was rapidly merging into his body. A hint of darkness was spreading over his body like a tide!
He was losing control of his body!
In just two or three seconds, the darkness covered his entire body and finally disappeared into his struggling eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The backup plan left in that ear finally came into use..."
