"Our King is leading the army to fight, and the abnormal activity of the Jotunheim Frost Giants is already an imminent problem."

The calm and crisp voice of Queen Friga echoed in the hall of the Astrological Tower.

This is the most active place where the magic power of Asgard is surging. The rune witches under the queen's command decorate the queen's tower in a very imaginative way. At the top of the astrological tower, shining star projections are running in the direction of the celestial bodies.

This is also the most noble holy land in the minds of all astrologers in the entire nine kingdoms.

It is also the location of the largest library in Asgard, where secrets from eternal to future are recorded.

And now, in this place where only the most skilled rune witch could enter, the ministers and generals of the Golden Palace were filled with the ministers and generals. There was no doubt that something important happened here.

"We have no doubt that the great God King, my husband Odin, can bring glorious victory to Asgard again, which is inevitable. But we also have urgent issues that need to be dealt with now, and everyone, this is why I call you here tonight."

The queen was leaning on her ivory cane, and her long golden hair was floating behind her shoulders. She was once the most beautiful and wisest witch in Asgard. She was attracted by the king of the divine realm and became his queen. It has been thousands of years since she was the one who had been the one who had become the queen of the gods.

Although the Nordic gods in myths and legends are immortal, in fact, although the Asgardians can live for a long time, they are still unable to be immune to the effects of birth, old age, sickness and death.

The once beautiful queen is no longer young, and her face is carved with wrinkles on her face by time.

But her wisdom did not weaken at all. The passage of time made her more wise and also won the respect of the people in the Golden Palace. When Odin led his army to fight, the queen of heaven would temporarily take over the throne.

But now, the theoretical regent is full of seriousness and she said to the ministers in front of her:

"The dead souls prayed to me, and in my sleep they declared me a terrible fact."

"Everyone, the dimension of hell is becoming chaotic, and the first thing this chaos affects is the life-and-death cycle of the Asgardians."

"After death, the bravest and wisest people of us will enter the temple of Valhalla and enjoy glory forever, which is our ancient tradition. But we cannot ignore other dead people for this."

The queen ticks her cane on the ground covered with mysterious runes. As the collision between the tip of the ivory cane and the ground, ripples like water waves echo.

"They may not be excellent enough to enter Valhalla, but they are still our people. In return for allegiance to the king, we should also defend their right to belong to the Tree of the World after their lives are over! That is also our tradition."

Well, the Asgardians’ views on life and death are different from those on Earth.

They believe that all the life origins of the nine kingdoms come from the invisible but truly existing tree of the world. They believe that after the journey of life is over, all pure souls will be returned to the tree of the world. At this point, the cycle of life and death can be truly completed.

It would be sad that the soul that did not complete this cycle.

In the Asgardians' philosophy, hell also exists. All the dead will enter Neforheim, that is, the Kingdom of Fog, which is the passage for the dead to go to the underworld. At the end of that world, the evil dog guarding the underworld will drive those souls into the underworld, and they will be judged in the underworld.

The Asgardians are as afraid of the underworld as the earthlings. According to legend, there is a mysterious god of death that cannot be pronounced, and its specific existence is like a maze that will never be able to pass through.

The sinful will be trapped on the left side of the underworld forever, where they will be subjected to suffering until the sin is paid off.

Those innocent will be placed in the west wing of the underworld, where there is a world of the dead created by the god of death, which cannot be called directly, and they will wait for the call of the tree of the world.

Those purest and greatest souls will live in the southern wing of the underworld, which is the best environment, as a commendation for the righteous.

There, waiting for the Valkyrie to lead them to the glorious Valhalla, become the heroic spirits in the legend of Asgard, and drink the most mellow honey wine with the ancestors, hunt together, fight together, and enjoy glory together forever.

As for the North Wing of the Underworld...

It was a mysterious forbidden place, and even the worst Asgardians would not enter, because it was not prepared for the Asgardians at all.

No one knows what is there, and no one knows why the Underworld has a north wing.

Well, the legend is magnificent, but the reality is cruel.

Few people know that the god of death who ruled Neforheim and Asgard's underworld has disappeared, and the dimension of hell in the nine kingdom systems has long been in chaos.

The queen may know this secret, but she can't tell it.

Because that's not just a secret, it also involves many complicated things.

"Everyone!"

The queen's deep voice echoed in the astrological tower, she said:

"Asgard does not care about the changes in the dimension of hell. As long as they do not affect the order of the nine kingdoms, then what the crazy demons and devils want to do have nothing to do with us. But now, the souls of our people are being affected by this chaos, so we must make decisions."

“We want to find out what exactly happened in the hell dimension…and most importantly, we want to make sure that our people can return to our tradition after death.”

"I invite you to come here to select a messenger to go to the Hell dimension on behalf of Asgard to investigate this matter."

"He must be brave enough to be fearful of the chaos of hell;"

"He must be sharp enough to see the truth through the mist;"

"He must be wise enough to not recklessly intervene in the changing hell situation, nor can he involve Asgard."

天后说:

"The Asgardians never fear challenges, but we never fight meaningless wars."

The Queen of Heaven's statement made the old ministers nodded in one go.

The Queen of Heaven said this beautifully and makes people feel comfortable, but in fact, at the moment when the great Odin personally commanded several legions to Jodonheim to suppress the riot of the Frost Giant, Asgard's divine realm was no longer able to start a war on hell at the same time.

After all, there are so many generals in the Asgard army, but the situation that the God King can take action himself must be less small.

Although Asgard is powerful, the enemy this country has to face is not just the Frost Giants family in Jotunheim.

In short, this is the art of speaking.

"His Majesty Friga."

A guy who is more than 4 meters tall, covered with lush beard, huge body, but his limbs seem extremely solid to step forward. His steps are heavy, causing the ground of the Astrological Tower to shake the water waves constantly.

This is a dwarf...

Well, the dwarves look like this, at least the dwarves in the dwarves kingdom of Nidavil, who lives among the nine kingdoms of Asgard, look like this.

Their facial features and limbs are very similar to those of the short dwarfs on the earth, but their height is about the same as that of the Frost Giant, who are purebred dwarfs.

The dwarves on Earth are the "orphans" they left there thousands of years ago. Due to the environment and other factors of the earth, those orphans eventually became very short, only half of the height of normal people.

The purebred dwarves born in Nidavuler...in fact, each one is a real giant.

In short, the rude dwarf seemed to be drinking high, and he shouted loudly in a rough voice:

"Can't the gatekeeper Heimdal see the problems faced by the dead souls? Isn't his eyes claiming to see everything that happened in the Nine Kingdoms?"

"I can see!"

Wearing heavy armor and ox-horned helmet, Heimdal, who seemed to be wrapped in stars in his eyes, leaning on his own sword of victory, and he said in a low voice:

"But there have been some 'small' problems in the hell dimension recently. The hell kings have joined hands to lay out special barriers in several hell dimensions. They seem to be planning some dangerous things."

The Asgard gatekeeper said in a deep voice:

"According to some gossip, the endless and endless battle for the king of Hell, which will never have a result, is about to begin again, perhaps because of this."

"Where is Naniforheim? And the Underworld!"

The dwarf who had drunk high seemed to have a fight with Heimdal, and he asked:

"You can always see there?"

Heimdal was silent for a moment, and he exchanged glances with the queen with obscure movements, and then said in a deep voice:

"I can see that everything is fine there..."

"The problem is not in the Kingdom of Mist and the Underworld, the problem is elsewhere."

"Maybe, it is the border of hell that has just reopened the dimension passage recently... I heard that the shameful evil god believer Bellakos has died, and the cursed ghost place has replaced a young queen..."

"Then let's go to the border of hell!"

Just after Heimdal finished speaking, a loud voice rang behind the crowd.

Everyone, including the queen Friga, looked back and behind the crowd, Prince Thor, holding the legendary magic weapon Mjolnir, was standing at the entrance of the astrological tower with his unpleasant brother Loki.

The young prince shook his iconic long blonde hair. He carried his warhammer and strode into the astrological tower. He seemed to have listened to the argument between the queen and the ministers in full, and he said loudly:

"Since the problem lies, there is only one thing we have to do!"

Thor walked to the front of the queen with a changing expression. He knelt on one knee to his mother, putting his warhammer on the ground, and he whispered:

"My mother, I apply to be a messenger of the divine realm and go to the evil hell. I will surely investigate who is maliciously obstructing our people from fulfilling their traditions."

"This is an extremely bad provocation to the Asgard divine realm!"

Thor said seriously:

"Those culprits must be severely punished!"

"No! Your Highness Thor, you can't go!"

The gatekeeper Heimdal was the first to object. He acted more emotionally than usual, and was more like a general, rather than a sculpture that only obeyed the commands of the God King.

He said:

"You are not suitable to be a messenger."

"Why?"

Thor asked:

"Are I not as powerful as the demons of hell? Do you think I would be intimidated by the chore of going to hell? No, Heimdal, this is a difficult task that requires courage, and I think no one is more suitable than me!"

"Yes, Thor is right."

Loki, wearing green armor and cloak and dressed up his glossy powder, also said:

"The whole Asgardians know the endless courage my brother possesses. The lightning that Mjolnir calls into him in his hand is the best proof of his courage... Thor has conquered the Frost Giant and those restless invaders. Now, it's time for him to conquer hell!"

This guy is worthy of being the most famous dramatist in Asgard. He speaks like a hymn.

But Thor just took this set.

He accepted his younger brother's praise calmly, and he said to the queen and the gatekeeper:

"Send me, Mother, I will solve this matter as easily as I will solve those Asgard enemies!"

"Tor! Loki!"

However, Queen Friga didn't seem to like the idea, and she scolded:

"Get out!"

"I'm discussing important things with the ministers, and you and Loki leave the Astrological Tower immediately!"

"You two are not allowed to participate in this matter. Heimdal is right. You are not suitable to be an envoy. This matter is not something you can do by waving the war hammer and summoning lightning!"

"But, Mother, I..."

Thor wanted to say something else, but his mother, who had always loved him, was extremely serious this time, and she might not have any flexibility at all.

"Get out!"

The queen pointed the ivory cane to the ground, and her voice was filled with an inexplicable anger.

Immediately, several witches and male witches in robes and blue runes on their skin appeared from an invisible place. They held staffs and surrounded Prince Thor and Prince Loki.

They represent the will of the queen. If the two princes still intend to disobey their lives, they will be thrown out of the astrological tower in a mess next moment.

In this tower, no one can confront these rune guards.

More importantly, using force here means disobeying the Empress of Heaven Friga. When the God King is on the expedition, the Empress of Heaven is the ruler of Asgard, and she represents the majesty of the royal power.

"Let's go, Thor."

Loki felt a irreversible will from the cold tone of the queen. He quietly pulled his brother's armor and said softly:

"Don't make my mother angry... let's go to a bar."

Thor looked back at his younger brother. He saw Loki blinking at him. Thor immediately realized that Loki had an idea again.

So he took a deep breath, stood up, apologized to his mother, and then followed Loki away from the Astrological Tower calmly.

They rode their horses back to the tavern where they had been drinking before, ordered two large glasses of honey wine. Thor drank the honey wine in the cup, then touched his beard and looked at Loki beside him, who played with the wine glass and said softly:

"Defending the interests of the people is what the king should do. My brother, I know that you who are determined to be kings will not let go of it, nor will you turn a blind eye to such evil deeds that hurt the people. Even if I kneel down and beg you, you will not change your mind..."

"So as always, this time I still decided to stand on your side."

Loki took a sip of wine, a light flashed in his cunning eyes, and he whispered:

"And just happened to bet a few days ago with a nagging elf, I learned something from him..."
