The Seven Deadly Sins

"What do you have to report, Coulson?" The speaker was a bald black man, Nick Fury, the director of Strat and Logisn, or SHIELD for short. .

He turned around, and the most eye-catching thing besides the big black bald head was the eyepatch on his right eye. The black eyepatch made him look more like a pirate or bandit leader, rather than someone who could secretly control the world. Bureau spy chief.

"It's the 'Fire Iron' plan, sir." Colson smiled lightly. His unique Earthsea hairstyle made him look amiable, and his smile was just right, not making people feel greasy.

He seemed like a senior employee of some ordinary company, elitist, but not mean.This image always puts people off their guard, which can be an excellent advantage in certain situations and when it comes to agent recruitment.

"Is there something wrong? The 'Fire Iron' plan?" Director Fury's intact eye widened slightly, and his brows were raised.

"It's not a big problem, it's just that we found a lot of words inside that armor. Some of it was damaged in the battle with Thor, but the rest, according to our scientists, some resemble ancient Nordic words, but they couldn't translate……"

"So you need a few linguists about ancient characters," Director Fury took over Coulson's words, "I understand. I'll give you the authority to recruit several ancient linguists. What characters do we really need to know? It may bring a huge breakthrough to the 'Fire Iron' plan."

"I'll do it, sir." Colson nodded, turned around and walked out.

Passing by the office area, he paused, hesitated for a while and then walked in.

"Mei!" He looked at the Asian woman who was leaning on the chair boredly and playing with a pencil and smiled kindly, "How are you doing?"

"It's been very good recently. I'm very busy now, so please go out and turn right. The field team is over there." Melinda May did not give this old friend any face.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet!" Colson looked innocent.

"Looking at the disgusting smile on your face, I know what you are going to do, Colson, I am not going out in the field now, I am a professional." There was a trace of sadness in Mei's eyes, although she deliberately did not think of the pain in Bahrain Island. Memories, but the trauma caused by this incident has penetrated deep into her bones.

"Don't be like this, Mei. This mission is just to invite a few linguists. I just want you to go out and relax. Sitting in the office chair all the time will make your bones rust."

"Why, Colson, you always want to drag me out into the field. What do you want to do?" Mei was already a little impatient, and her face was quite unhappy. She didn't like others in the name of helping her, but in fact Taking pity on her.

"Mei, I know what you are thinking, but I am not. I just hope you can relax, as your friend."

Coulson was very sincere, and it was this sincerity that made Mei loose her guard a little. After all, he was her closest friend and the one she had been with the longest. They had been together through life and death countless times, and they were very fond of each other. Understanding is all at the 'roundworm' level.

She knew that Coulson had no sympathy for her, she was just a little unhappy reflexively.

After a long silence, I don't know whether I acquiesced to the help from my friends, or whether I really wanted to get out of this boring office for a while, "Fine, what is the specific task?"

Colson was also a little happy when he heard what Mei said, "I'm just going to invite a few linguists from the Old Norse languages."

"Is there something wrong with the 'Yantie' plan?" One has to admire Mei's qualities as a level [-] agent. He can tell the general story from just this sentence.

"It's not that there is a problem, it's just that we found some ancient Nordic words on that armor. The director and I both think that if we can translate them, it should bring some progress to the 'Fire Iron' project."

Mei nodded in understanding.

Colson immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Speaking of which, since you are willing to go out on the field, after this task is completed, I happen to have another more difficult task on hand..."

May gave him a sharp look and interrupted his next words, "Don't push yourself too far, Phil Coulson!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just giving it a try." Colson quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, carefully following Melinda's pace.

***********

I don't know how many light years away, among the distant stars, there is a beautiful and dazzling land. It is like a big bowl that blocks the sky and the sun. The sea water falls from its edge like a waterfall into the dark void and stars. It is a dazzling city, as magnificent as the legendary Heavenly Palace. The most eye-catching thing is the huge palace made entirely of gold, which is called the Golden Palace.

This land is called Asgard, one of the nine kingdoms, the legendary place where the Nordic gods live, and the land of Odin, the father of the gods.

At this time, standing on the balcony outside the Golden Palace, the father of the gods looked a little solemn.

In such a long time, few things have made him feel so heavy. Even the fact that his adopted son Loki almost destroyed Jotunheim did not make him feel that troublesome.

The really troublesome thing is the big trouble caused by the adopted son who fell into the rift of time and space, the life and death of which is unknown, the real big trouble.

"Father, is it really necessary to be so solemn? I can feel your worry from a long distance away. The sky in Asgard has drooped because of your mood. It seems to be pressing on our heads. All the subjects are worried. A little scared." A blond-haired, lion-like man came out of the house and walked to his father's side.

Odin closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, so long that Thor even thought he fell asleep. "Thor, you and Loki are still too young. There are many secrets from the past that you don't know. I thought It’s for your own good that I don’t talk about this for now, but now it seems that I did something wrong.”

"Is it really that serious? Even if the Midgardians get the Destroyer Armor, they can't do much. No matter what weapons it develops, I don't think they can pose any threat to us." Thor said a little Inexplicably, as the self-proclaimed guardian of Midgard, he even hopes that the group of people in that world called SHIELD will be stronger so that they can better protect his lover, a Midgardian. People, Earthlings.

"You don't understand. Whether those people took the Destroyer Armor and then researched the weapon is not the problem. It should not have set foot on the land of Midgard at all. Loki did a huge stupid thing." Odin sighed, As he gets older, he only feels more and more powerless. Just for a moment, it seems that everything is beyond his control.

Hearing his brother's name, Thor felt a little sad and forced a smile, "Is it serious that he almost destroyed Jotunheim?"

"Seriously, too much."

Earth at this time.

"Who the hell are you? Damn it, don't touch those things! That's a few months of my hard work!" A little old man with some gray hair hurriedly chased away these black suits that suddenly broke into his home.

"Which department do you belong to? You have no right to do this! If you break into my home casually, I have the right to sue you!" The little old man angrily pushed away a man in a black suit who was reading his manuscript. Not wanting to hurt him, the agent had no choice but to He raised his hand to show he meant no harm.

"Calm down, old gentleman, we don't mean any harm." Coulson smiled amiably, and May behind him rolled her eyes.

"Why didn't you break into my home without any harm? Huh?! Who the hell are you?"

"We are the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency, or SHIELD for short. We just need you to help us translate some ancient words, doctor."

"Well, can't you ask me politely about the land administration? You suddenly broke into a lonely old man's home and touched his hands everywhere. You should be lucky that I didn't sue you!" The old man blew his beard and glared, extremely angry.

"I apologize for the rudeness of my men, Doctor, they are new to the profession."

The agent on the side was a little innocent, "No sir...", and then Coulson glared hard and choked back the rest of the sentence - "Didn't you ask us to do this?"

The old gentleman calmed down and saw that the agents were not messing with his things. Knowing that the situation was strong, he sighed angrily and sat on the sofa nearby, "Okay, what do you need me to translate?"

"Some words similar to Old Norse. Now please come with us. The next thing is top secret. We also need you to sign a confidentiality agreement."

*************

"How long will it take for the magic circle to be ready?" Odin asked seriously.

"We still need three thers (the fathers of the gods)." The guard replied respectfully, and then withdrew after Odin nodded.

Thor couldn't help but asked again, "You said that the Destroyer Armor is the first link of the seal. What kind of seal is it? Or whose seal is it?"

Odin sighed, and even Thor could feel the heaviness of the coming storm.

"Oh, it's been so long. It's been so long that I almost forgot about them..." Odin paused for a while, turned around and sat back on his throne, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"2000 years ago, a terrible knighthood appeared in Midgard. They only had seven people, but their power was unparalleled. They were so powerful that the gods were afraid of them. They fought in the Nine Kingdoms. On the battlefield, no one can defeat them, no one can control them, and the stars tremble because of their majesty.”

"They include humans, goblins, and even a Titan, but they all gathered together for the same reason to form the most terrifying knighthood that makes the nine kingdoms fearful."

"This reason is that they have all committed the seven deadly sins of rage, arrogance, jealousy, lust, greed, gluttony, and sloth, so they are also called the Knights of Sin, the Seven Deadly Sins."

"Why they committed these crimes, and what they did specifically, no one can test, and they have disappeared in the long river of time. The only thing that is beyond doubt is their power and danger."

"They were active as mercenaries on the battlefields of the Nine Kingdoms, until one day, they had a conflict with the gods. No one knew the reason, and in the end no one cared. They launched a war against the Greek gods, and seven In the war initiated by individuals, the sky was darkened and the stars were shattered. The blood of the fallen god covered the sky of Midgard like a downpour. I don’t know when, even we were involved."

Thor looked extremely shocked. It was hard for him to imagine that such a powerful person could appear in such a weak Midgard.

"The Greek gods were retreating steadily from us, and we couldn't even kill any of them. Perhaps we saw their threat and thought that our high status was no longer safe. The Warner Clan, Paradise Mountain, and even Egypt The gods all united with us and sealed them one by one after a bitter battle."

Thor's expression has changed from shock to disbelief. He really wants to ask his father why he is so powerful that he cannot kill anyone in the Knights. It even requires the cooperation of five gods to seal them.

"Although they have been sealed, the Great Sword, the artifact of the leader of the Sin Knights, is still extremely difficult to deal with. In order to suppress him and prevent it from finding its owner, we used it to create the Destroyer Armor to suppress its form, and then let Every earth god has injected divine power into it to suppress the powerful power of the Great Sword, until you break it." Odin said and glanced at Thor, who scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I used divine words and runes to set up the final seal. Only by letting a Midgardian read a sentence from the armor can it be completely unsealed."

"And the broken giant sword after being unsealed will definitely find its owner and let its owner reappear in the world."

"I thought that as long as the Destroyer Armor never sets foot on the land of Midgard, there will never be any problems, and they will be sealed and sleep until the end of time."

"Yet you left the Destroyer Armor in Midgard." Odin looked at Thor again.

Thor was already a little ashamed.

"I know what you are thinking. I hope that the Midgard forces who took away the armor will work harder to protect your little woman, but you undoubtedly made a wrong decision..." Looking at the ashamed Thor, Odin Sighing, "Although this is not entirely your fault, it is only my fault that I never told you the importance of the Destroyer Armor."

"Father, as bad as it is, Midgardians shouldn't be able to recognize runes, let alone read them."

"Rune Talisman is also a kind of language. As long as the language can be interpreted, we have visited Midgard and even left behind the inheritance and relics of Rune Talisman. So if I were you, I would not be so optimistic."

"What now, father?"

"If the Rainbow Bridge is completely destroyed by you, we can only wait for the magic circle to be built and send you to Midgard. Because of the barrier of the Supreme Mage Ancient One, the gods cannot come to Midgard so easily now. , Alas... I just hope there is enough time." Odin sighed, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Sol, who had gotten into trouble, scratched his head and quietly retreated.
