Chapter 168: Tempting Offer
Chapter 168: Tempting Offer
The conversation between Odin and Ancient One continued, but the following content seemed to involve some secrets, so Lod couldn\'t hear what they were talking about.
But judging from the golden flames dancing in the eyes of the Destroyer and the occasional tremors around space, he judged.
Lod estimated that Odin should be very unhappy right now.
But no matter how unhappy he was, Odin could do nothing to Ancient One!
Not to mention the future Ragnarok, Asgard still needed the protection of the earth. Even if they were to fight now, he was not confident that he could defeat Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One.
Although Odin was as arrogant as the pinnacle of the Nine Worlds, he did not dare to be too presumptuous when he met Sorcerer Supreme. After all, the backer behind her was eternal!
The conversation between the two lasted for about ten minutes.
During this period, Odin couldn\'t control his emotion several times. The surging divine might was like a wave hitting the reef, causing ripples in the air around him.
"It can\'t be that the negotiation broke down, right?"
Lod thought silently in his heart. If the two of them broke up, then it would be interesting to start a war.
Of course, this was just a thought.
He could tell with his toes that right now, Astar was in its declining phase and would need to rely on the protection of Earth in the future. With Odin\'s old fox character, it was absolutely impossible for him to fall out with Sorcerer Supreme.
Thinking further, Thor had caused quite a bit of trouble in Asgard in the past, but why did he have to deliberately let Thor appear on Earth at this time, or even allow Thor to join the Avengers in the future?
A dignified Great Prince of Asgard, the future successor of the God King, running to Earth to maintain peace was a big joke in the entire universe, but Odin still acquiesced in Thor\'s actions!
Why?
Because Odin was paving the way for Thor!
Everyone thought that Odin was on the first floor. Lod had thought that Odin was on the third floor, but in fact, Odin was on the fifth floor!
He had long seen the future and knew that Asgard was about to welcome the Ragnarok. Then, he began to pave the road for Thor and Astar.
Four birds with one arrow,
As expected of an old fox who had lived for tens of thousands of years!
At this moment, Lod was sincerely impressed by Odin. This king was really thoughtful.
After a long while.
The shaking space gradually calmed down, and the dancing flames in the eyes of the Destroyer disappeared.
"It\'s over..."
Lod was refreshed, and the conversation between the two sides had clearly come to an end.
"I understand what you mean..."
Odin\'s voice became a little older again. If one listened carefully, one could even hear a trace of hollow\'s extremely weak feeling. "In that case, I believe in your choice and the future you see."
Choice? Future?
Lod\'s eyes moved slightly. He keenly noticed the two special words that Odin spoke.
Although there were only two words, after careful analysis, it was obvious that two pieces of information could be found.
First, the content of their conversation involved one of the \'future\' that Sorcerer Supreme was spying on.
Second, Odin chose to believe the \'future\' that Sorcerer Supreme was spying on and made a very difficult choice.
What kind of future did Sorcerer Supreme see that could make this Divine King, who was calm and collected, so emotional that he could only make a choice after a long silence?
Lod narrowed his eyes and suddenly became a little curious.
"Young man..."
Destroyer\'s eyes that were dancing with golden flames turned to look at Lod and said in a meaningful tone, "Can you do me a favor?"
Lod\'s eyelids twitched, and he immediately refused. "Allfather, you must be joking. With my meager abilities, I probably can\'t help you much. Allfather, please find someone else."
What kind of joke was this!
The great Asgardian Divine King actually asked for his help. It was obvious that there was something fishy about this matter!
Some things could be involved, and some things could not be involved!
After seeing how Odin trained his two sons, Lod became very secretive about this old fox. If he played with this old fox who had lived for tens of thousands of years, who knew when he would be sold!
"Young man, don\'t be in a hurry to refuse."
Odin seemed to have expected that he would refuse. He said bluntly, "This matter will only benefit you. There is no harm. Why don\'t you listen and decide first?"
...
The corner of Lod\'s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to refuse directly from his heart, a voice suddenly floated into his ears.
"I suggest you listen."
A shiny bald head appeared beside him without anyone noticing.
Sorcerer Supreme - Ancient One!
She was wearing a yellow robe with her hands behind her back. She smiled and nodded at Lod. Then, she said indifferently, "The price offered by the Allfather is not low."
Lod : "..."
He hated the mages of Kamar-Taj, especially the bald mage!
Ancient One smiled and said, "Kamar-Taj is actually not bad. If you have time, you can come and take a seat. Just in time, you can solve the dark energy in your body."
"... You can read my mind?"
Lod stared at Ancient One vigilantly, covering his entire body with absolute spiritual energy, cutting off all telepathic senses and mind reading skills.
"No."
Ancient One smiled and pointed at his eyes. "But I can see from your eyes that you are very wary and disgusted with me. In fact, there is no need for that."
"..."
He always felt that Ancient One was lying, but there was no actual evidence.
Ancient One smiled.
"Cough cough..."
Odin coughed lightly and interrupted the two of them. He said gently, "Young man, are you willing to listen to my request first?"
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided.
Lod sighed and nodded. "Since that\'s the case, please tell me. If I can help you, I will do my best. But if I can\'t help you, then forgive me for refusing."
Odin said, "It\'s actually very simple. I hope that you can help Thor defeat Loki."
"Help... Thor?"
Lod looked at Odin strangely. Could it be that this old man still thought that Loki had not been beaten up badly enough?
Would he still need his help to fight against that trash, Loki?
Thor alone could beat Loki until he cried for his mother!
Odin seemed to have seen through his doubts and explained, "Now that Loki has the Eternal Spear Gungnir and the Tesseract, the bloodline of the Frost Giant King Royal Family has also awakened, it is very difficult for Thor to defeat Loki alone."
Lod asked doubtfully, "Since that\'s the case, why don\'t you take back the Eternal Spear yourself?"
"I can\'t do that."
Odin shook his head and said, "My physical body has fallen into deep sleep. Forcefully interrupting it will shorten my lifespan."
"Then now you..." Lod looked at Odin suspiciously, feeling that this old man was not telling the truth.
"This is just a spiritual body that temporarily resides in the Destroyer\'s body." Odin calmly said, "If you don\'t believe me, you can verify the identity of Sorcerer Supreme at the side. I believe that with the noble character of a mage, she will definitely not deliberately deceive you."
Lod looked sideways at Ancient One. The latter nodded and smiled, "I can guarantee that the Allfather did not lie to you."
Odin seemed to be afraid that he would disagree and threw out another heavy bomb. "I won\'t let you help for nothing. After the matter is done, I can promise you to go to the treasury and choose an item as a reward. How about it?"
"Okay, I agree!"
Lod said quickly.
There was no other way...
The price they offered was too tempting!
That was Odin\'s treasure house. The treasures stored inside were enough to make half the universe envious. There would be no better reward!
