I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 44 Loki

The downside is that the person being negotiated is Loki, the god of mischief and deception, who is not someone who can be easily persuaded. He is a difficult person to figure out, and it might be a little tricky to get him to help.

However, Li Jie remembered the Thunder Blade that Loki had given him through Valkyrie. It was a weapon close to the divine level, although he had only used it once. Was Loki's previous friendly behavior towards him the same as he had originally imagined? If it was really as he had speculated, he would be more confident in convincing him.

Li Jie thought about this and found that Valkyrie was standing in front of him waiting for him to make a decision. He thought that some things would be better dealt with as soon as possible. So he called Lan directly and told her that he might not be at home in the next few days. At the same time, he also told Tony, Peter and others that he was going to the Divine Realm, so that they would not be able to find him when the time comes. In addition, he also called home and said that he wanted to go out for a trip recently. If no one answered the phone, it might be because the signal was not good.

After arranging everything, Li Jie nodded to Valkyrie: "Let's go now!"

Valkyrie smiled and took Li Jie directly to the suburbs of New York. "When the Rainbow Bridge is opened, there will be a lot of noise. We don't want to alert the human government now." Valkyrie said to Li Jie with a smile, and then she inserted a crystal made by the elves on the grass, which can greatly conceal the energy and strong light emitted by the Rainbow Bridge.

"Heimdall! Open the Rainbow Bridge and take us to the Elven Kingdom!" Valkyrie shouted towards the empty sky. This action seemed a bit silly, but it actually established a connection with Heimdall who was far away in the God's Realm.

Under the cover of the elf crystal, the rainbow bridge opened. Valkyrie and Li Jie were directly teleported away from the earth, and the next second, they arrived at the elf kingdom among the nine kingdoms.

Before Li Jie had time to carefully observe the differences between this world and Earth, Valkyrie urged him to leave: "Hurry up, Loki is very busy now. He is the commander of the entire army and doesn't have much time to see you. He has been seriously lacking rest recently."

"Hmm?" Li Jie was surprised by Valkyrie's words. You know, the last time he saw Valkyrie, although she didn't say she hated Loki, her tone didn't show much respect. She used honorifics only because Loki was Odin's son.

And now, Li Jie felt a hint of respect from her urging. How long had it been? One and a half months or two months, and Loki had already won the respect of the Valkyrie?

Following Valkyrie's steps, they came to a military camp. There were Asgardian warriors wearing golden armor everywhere, and in the distance, there were some people wearing silver armor, carrying longbows, with long and smooth hair and pointed ears. Li Jie guessed that they were elves.

But Li Jie didn't have much time to stop and admire these, because Valkyrie kept urging him to move faster. In the center of the camp, there was a magnificent building. It was a small palace with a white opal base and decorated with gold crystals and moonstones. Decorations woven with evening primrose were hung at the entrance of the palace, and golden wool from Mount Olympus was luxuriously laid as a carpet at the entrance of the palace.

The core materials of cherry and rosewood were carved into gorgeous logos and pasted on the palace gate. Before he actually entered the palace, Li Jie was shocked by this extremely luxurious palace.

"Is Loki really fighting? Isn't he here for vacation?" Li Jie was a little confused. Is it really okay to build such a luxurious palace in the military camp? He is not the king of Asgard. Isn't he afraid that the soldiers under him will have opinions?

"A good commander is one who can lead us to victory. Compared to the huge compensation that Thor had to pay after leading everyone to war, Loki's cost as a commander is much less. An excellent ruler naturally has the right to enjoy the treatment he deserves." Valkyrie seemed to be very protective of Loki.

Loki seemed to have known that Li Jie was coming. Less than half a minute after Li Jie arrived at the reception room of the palace, Loki appeared directly in the reception room.

He glanced at Li Jie, without any greetings or politeness, and asked directly as if he didn't know Li Jie at all: "Why should I help you?"

The tone was straightforward and not polite at all. Li Jie had expected that Loki would be difficult to deal with, so he was prepared. He glanced at the guards in the reception room and winked at Loki.

Loki was a smart man, he understood what Li Jie meant, he needed some private space, he waved his hand to let everyone out, including Valkyrie.

"Okay, you can say it now. What is said here will not be heard by any outsider." Loki found a sofa made of dragon skin and sat down. This sofa was made of the softest skin from the dragon's belly. After removing the scales, it needs to be nitrated for more than 20 years before it can be used as leather. It is very rare and expensive.

Li Jie looked at Loki and said bluntly, "I say, what if I can help you ascend the throne of Asgard?"

Li Jie stood in front of Loki and said seriously: "Compared to Thor, I think you are more suitable to be the king of Asgard." Li Jie was serious.

Although Thor is powerful, he lacks meticulous thinking. As a leader, he lacks a lot and is prone to irrational behavior when his blood boils. Li Jie has a deep understanding of this during his interactions with Thor.

Of course, Li Jie wanted Loki to be the ruler not only for the lofty ideals of Asgard's future prosperity and the welfare of the people, but also for more practical considerations. For Li Jie, Loki's rise has more practical reasons. If I remember correctly, the famous battle of the Avengers, the Battle of New York, was largely triggered by Loki. Unable to get the throne and unable to accept the fact that he was just "given away by recharging his phone bill", Loki turned to Thanos and tried to use Thanos' power to realize his plan to usurp the throne of Asgard. This was very crazy and violent, and the earth became a victim of Loki's plan.

From all aspects, Loki is more suitable to be the king of the gods than Thor. He is smarter, more courageous, and more rational. The only thing that prevents him from succeeding to the throne is his origin. He is not Odin's biological son, but the descendant of the frost giant Laufey, and was only adopted and raised by Odin.

How could Odin allow a descendant of a frost giant to inherit his throne? You know, the war between Asgard and the frost giants has lasted for thousands of years. Except for a short period of peace, the two tribes have hardly stopped fighting.

Li Jie does not want to be an enemy of Loki in the future. Because the Loki in this world is more shrewd than the one in the movie, and he will not do things that will bring about his own destruction and cause dislike. From the fact that he gained the support and respect of the Asgard army in a short period of time, it can be seen that he is much better than the trouble-making and annoying Loki in the movie.

This Loki knows how to win people's hearts and knows how to go with the flow. Unlike the Loki in the movie, who only relies on the tricks of mind magic. This Loki is more like a real god of lies. He is good at lying skillfully, and the most clever lie is the truth. Loki would never be naive to think that he can rule Asgard with just a few illusions and mind magic. If he really thinks so, unless the gods of Asgard are much stupider than Thor, it would be impossible for Loki to control everyone easily.

This is the first reason why Li Jie thinks he can help Loki ascend the throne, because he does not take risks, but takes every step carefully. The second reason is that Loki in this world is treated completely differently from the one in the movie. Li Jie noticed this from the first time he saw Loki. In Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One's attitude towards Loki was obviously closer than towards Thor. The Ancient One even bought Loki many electronic products for him to play with, and allowed him to take away the magic book of Kamar-Taj. This is impossible for others.

Some people may think that this is just caring for the child of an old friend, just like an elder caring for the younger generation. Maybe Ancient One didn't know that Loki was not Odin's biological son? Well, assuming that Ancient One really didn't know, but Li Jie still found something different about Loki, all of which was based on the premise that he knew Loki was not Odin's biological son.

I remember when I first met Loki, the weapon he was wearing was not the scepter of mind, but a real sword. Odin explained that he gave him the real sword to prevent Loki from abusing mind magic and deception on Earth, because with the real sword, Loki could not lie or deceive others. This reason seems reasonable, but don't forget, this is a real sword! It is the sword of the god of glory of Asgard and one of the most powerful artifacts of Asgard.

Li Jie learned the origin of the real sword from Thor. This artifact was made by the elves and was a gift to the elves who helped them destroy the greedy dragon. Although it may not be as destructive as Thor's thunder hammer, the real sword has more magical features.

Before Thor got the hammer of thunder, Loki already had this artifact that was equivalent to the hammer of thunder. Doesn't Odin have other ways to limit Loki's mental magic? Li Jie believes that Odin must have a way, but he just didn't use it. After all, he can completely seal all of Thor's power, so dealing with Loki should be a piece of cake. He gave Loki a real sword, a real artifact, saying that he could control Loki, but maybe this was actually a reward for Loki?

In the original Thor series, Li Jie remembers that Loki's status was very low, almost like a gift for recharging phone bills. Odin always thought of Thor first when it came to good things, and Loki's treatment was not even as good as that of Odin's trusted generals. This old man Odin is very partial!

In addition, the real sword is not Loki's first artifact. Through conversations with Thor and Valkyrie, Li Jie knew that Loki still had the mind scepter that caused trouble in the original story.

That was the first powerful weapon he got after he became an adult. It was a reward from Odin and Frigga. The Mind Scepter is also a true artifact. The gift Thor got when he became an adult was a huge axe called Garmjol.

This axe is not even close to being a divine weapon. It can only be regarded as a super awesome weapon that the dwarves have spent a lot of effort to create.

Loki has more than just these two artifacts. His boots were given by the Elf Queen, called the Rainbow Boots. Wearing them, Loki can travel through space at will and fly at high speed. It is not the kind of space gate opened by the wizard, but silent and instant movement. Li Jie had seen this ability earlier when he was fighting Venom in the orphanage.

Loki's cloak comes from the Vanir, from Vanaheim, and allows him to become invisible, transform, and perform various complex transformations.

And his helmet, not only is it a powerful mental protection device, it also gives Loki the ability to communicate with other creatures. Wearing the helmet, Loki can talk to any animal.

These things are either divine weapons, or at least close to divine weapons. Their power is not reflected in direct destructive power, but they are extremely practical and have infinite variations.

In comparison, Thor seems too shabby. The only artifact that can be confirmed is Thor's hammer, but the hammer does not belong to him now. Compared with Loki, Thor is like the difference between a beggar and a prince.

In addition, the luxurious little palace in front of Li Jie, opal, gold crystal, moonstone are all gem-grade building materials, but Loki used them casually for construction. The golden wool that the goddesses of Asgard regarded as a treasure and it was difficult to ask for a coat, but Loki used it to make a carpet. And the sofa in front of Li Jie, although it was not clear at first what leather it was made of.

But if you look closely, you will find that the craftsmen who made the sofa deliberately retained the dragon features in the leather in the details, such as the armrests made of dragon horns.

In legends and stories, dragons are powerful and ferocious creatures, and their leather and dragon horns are precious materials. But in Loki's case, they are made into sofas for people to rest on.

All this clearly shows that Odin and Frigga favor and are partial to Loki. The allocation of resources is extremely unfair to Thor and Loki, and this time it is Thor who suffers.

Assuming that Loki is really Odin's child, then everything makes sense. After all, favoring the youngest son is a common problem for almost all parents.

Li Jie could conclude that the Loki in this world must be different from the one he knew. It was these differences that made Li Jie believe that Loki really had a chance to become the king of Asgard!
