Inside the soundproof barrier, Odin glanced at Gul, as if he had overheard Gul and Wanda's conversation.
But Ger didn't look at him; he just watched Pietro and Wanda and smiled.
Others may not know the inside story, but Gol knows it all perfectly well—Loki's current personality and Thor's current fate are entirely Odin's doing.
Thousands of years ago, after Odin led his army to victory against the Frost Giants, he took Loki, Laufey's son, away and used magic to change Loki's skin color, making him look no different from an ordinary Asgardian. Odin's intention was for Loki to inherit the Frost Giant throne when he grew up, while Thor would inherit the Asgardian throne. However, Odin never imagined that Loki had been raised to believe that all Frost Giants were monsters, and therefore he didn't accept his Frost Giant identity. Moreover, for a long time, Loki didn't know he wasn't Odin's biological son, and thus harbored resentment towards Odin for favoritism.
This resentment had been building up in Loki's heart for a long time, and it had completely twisted his personality.
As for Odin's current idea of the four of them getting together to communicate, it's nothing more than discussing that one thing, but things probably won't develop the way he expects!
"Wanda, who did you meet? How did you suddenly obtain the Dark Book?" Gel didn't intend to concern himself with Odin and the others anymore; he simply looked at Wanda and asked.
“I encountered a witch named Agatha. She even tried to trap me with a runic magic circle, but I countered by using other runic magic circles, absorbing all her magical energy, and then obtained the Dark Book from her. It’s just a pity that the Dark Book was destroyed.” Wanda pouted slightly, looking dejected.
Gel patted Wanda's head and said helplessly, "What's there to regret? We were both a little controlled by the Dark Book just now. If Thor's father hadn't arrived in time, we probably would have gotten even deeper and eventually become slaves to the Dark Book."
Gel felt no regret whatsoever about the destruction of the Dark Book. If he wanted to obtain the original Dark Book, he only needed to search the entire Himalayas. Although Gel remembered that the area was restricted and ordinary magicians couldn't go up there, Wong could go in Doctor Strange 2, so he should be able to as well.
However, Gel did not intend to find the original Dark Book. His current magical abilities were completely unable to resist its temptation. If he obtained the Dark Book, it would probably be the Dark Book that controlled him and Wanda, not the other way around.
"Luckily, when I thought runes were too complicated and wanted to give up learning them, you insisted that I learn them, otherwise it would have been more troublesome for me to get away today." Wanda gently shook Ger's arm with both hands and said coquettishly.
The library in Kamar-Taj contains many ancient scripts, including Rune, which is more suitable for magicians to use to set up magic circles compared to other languages.
But Wanda wasn't the type of person who particularly enjoyed reading, so when faced with runes, she immediately wanted to give up. If Ger hadn't kept pushing her to learn, she wouldn't have been able to keep going.
"So you still need to work hard to learn other languages and more magic knowledge later on," Gel said, taking the opportunity to educate him.
He hadn't expected Wanda to meet Agatha so soon. Fortunately, he remembered her; she had forced Wanda to learn runes back in the Kamar-Taj Library.
As Wanda listened to Ger's lecture, a troubled look appeared on her peach-blossom face. After all, she really didn't like reading those boring books.
But after a moment, Wanda seemed to have thought of something and said to Pietro, "Pietro, now my abilities are stronger than yours again."
Pietro scratched his head, but just smiled and didn't say anything—Wanda is too vengeful. She only teased him a few times before, and now she's teasing him back.
Gel nodded: "Yes, Wanda is only slightly weaker than me right now."
Agatha had lived for countless years and absorbed a great deal of magical energy from wizards, so when she used the combined chaos magic, Gel could already sense that Wanda's magical energy was only a hair's breadth away from his own!
His magical energy at this moment, having absorbed the magical energy transformed from the magic circle, is several times stronger than it was a day ago!
Of course, the free magical energy transformed from the magic circle was also carried by the combined chaos magic, and a large part of it was absorbed by Wanda, which is why Wanda is so strong at this moment.
"I need to think of a way to improve my abilities too," Pietro muttered, looking at Wanda. He couldn't afford to fall too far behind Gel and Wanda.
“Perhaps now, such an opportunity exists.” Gel looked in the direction of the soundproof magic barrier, pondered for a moment, and murmured.
Pietro was slightly taken aback: "What opportunity?"
Gel simply glanced in the direction of Odin and the others, keeping them in suspense: "Let's wait and see, maybe it will work."
Pietro followed Gel's gaze and looked in the direction of the soundproof magic shield.
Inside the soundproof magic shield, a tense silence and awkwardness simmered. Loki stared intently at Laufey. If his hatred for Thor and Odin was a mixture of love and hate, then his hatred for Laufey was pure disgust and contempt.
After a moment, Odin finally broke the silence. He glanced at Laufey, then at Loki, and slowly said, "After defeating the Frost Giants, I entered the temple, and there..."
"No!"
Loki suddenly turned to Odin, his head snapping back to him. All the hatred in his eyes vanished, replaced by pleading and panic.
