The Great Winter Soldier

More than a week had passed since the burial at sea. Xia Tian and the two of them were waiting peacefully in Asgard. It seemed that not being able to return home did not cause them too much trouble. Xia Tian knows the plot, and he knows that the Rainbow Bridge will definitely be repaired. And Nicole didn't care about her home at all. She even enjoyed this kind of life. After all, when she was on Earth, there were always tasks and other people that affected Xia Tian's energy, but they didn't happen here.

While feeling the magical lifestyle of Asgard and looking around the lake and scenery, the two of them were also perfecting their travel notes. What Xia Tian didn't expect was that the time spent immersing in memories and writing travel notes with Nicole was really interesting. At this time, the two of them were recalling the episode of "Darwin's Ghost Rider". Xia Tian also deliberately left a blank page in his notebook, waiting for Nicole to fill in the picture after she was successful in her studies.

"Hi, my friend." Thor, dressed in traditional Asgardian clothing and wearing a gray shawl cloak, came to the two people's residence, but saw Xia Tian and Nicole sitting on the rocking chair on the balcony writing travel notes. With such a look on his face, he couldn't help but smile, "You guys are so laid-back."

"Yeah." Xia Tian agreed casually. Thor has been here many times and apologized solemnly, informing the two that they would not be able to return to Midgard for the time being. Xia Tian is not in a hurry, he just wants to seize the moment and fully experience the customs of this "god domain".

"The celebration banquet is about to begin." Sol's face was filled with a smile. It could be seen that he had recovered well during this period, both physically and mentally.

"Are you serious?" Nicole looked at Thor with suspicion. She had seen the tragic situation in Asgard. Countless soldiers died fighting in their hometown, but these Asgardians still had the heart to hold a banquet.

"This is Asgard's tradition and cannot be discarded." Thor nodded, "Besides, this is also a way for us to commemorate our dead brothers."

"We are not locals. We have a unique tradition here. You are so rude." Xia Tian whispered in Nicole's ear, and then returned to normal volume, "We have won a big victory and we should celebrate."

Nicole pursed her lips and said no more.

If time could go back, maybe Xia Tian would give himself a slap in the face. He really wanted to see Asgard's celebration party, but he really didn't want to get stuck in the quagmire between the Ax Warrior, the Mustache Swordsman and the others who had been killed by the two. Under the invitation of the saved soldier, Xia Tian drank for three days, yes, drank for three whole days.

These are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now. Before the celebration banquet started, Asgard’s God King Odin specially called Xia Tian and Nicole to go to the temple to accept the reward.

Under the leadership of Thor, the two also came to the central temple of Asgard, which had been restored to its former glory. Soldiers in golden armor stood on both sides, and the majestic palace shone in the sunlight.

No matter how many times she sees this building, Nicole will feel shocked. She may never get used to it. When she steps on the stairs here, Nicole feels a rare sense of awe in her heart.

The reward matters for the Asgardians have long been completed. It can be seen that after they settled their internal affairs, it was finally the turn of these two Midgarians who came from afar.

Looking at this temple from the outside, its roof is a dazzling golden light, so mysterious. When the two of them actually stepped into the temple, Xia Tian discovered that the roof here was made up of shields and swords. There was no doubt about Asgard's craftsmanship, which made the place look majestic and solemn.

There were soldiers and some people wearing traditional clothes on both sides of the road. At first, the atmosphere was not as solemn as expected. As Nicole walked into the hall, more and more soldiers and people began to cheer and cheer with enthusiasm. and sincerely express their gratitude to the goddess of war who leads them forward.

Nicole felt that she deserved it. She enjoyed killing and the thrill of conquest. When she smashed the head of the first ice giant, she did not want to save Asgard, she was just enjoying the war. It was fun, but later on, she was pushed to the altar by Xia Tian, ​​and she was out of control from then on. Is this what is called the times that make heroes? She didn't want to be a hero.

Nicole turned to look at Xia Tian, ​​only to find that the man was already one step behind her, as low-key as ever, wishing he could turn himself into a black shadow, not wanting anyone to notice.

Nicole glared at Xia Tian helplessly, but her steps suddenly stopped. Her greatly improved reflexes had already allowed her to detect the unexpected situation immediately. Nicole turned her head and saw a girl running over, holding her hand Holding a bouquet of light yellow flowers in her hand, she stood on tiptoes and put it in front of Nicole's eyes.

"Thank you." Nicole took the charmingly fragrant flower.

"No, thank you for saving me, thank you for rescuing me from the hands of the giant." The girl said with a grateful face, "I have long wanted to thank you in person, but I can't enter your castle, God Odin The king agreed to my request and specifically allowed me to express my gratitude here.”

Nicole was stunned for a moment, looking at the scars on the girl's temples, and then recalled the scene. The girl had cried bitterly and struggled to death under the giant's claws.

"After all this is over, can I invite you to my home as a guest? Mom and dad want to thank you, but they are not allowed to come up." The girl spoke very quickly, as if she was very afraid of the soldiers on the side dragging her away. , although she has obtained permission from God King Odin.

Nicole's eyes softened, and she leaned over and rubbed the girl's head: "I will go, kid, how old are you?"

Nicole comforted the girl quietly, but she didn't want to,

Her behavior and attitude made the cheers around her even louder.

"More than three hundred...more than three hundred years old." The girl blushed and said timidly.

Nicole: "..."

The scepter fell on the ground neither lightly nor heavily, making a heavy sound. The cheers quickly subsided, and the temple returned to its former silence and solemnity.

On the throne, Odin sat steadily in the center, with white hair and wrinkles on his face. He looked old and aged, and he no longer had the energy of the past. Asgard experienced a painful blow, and his son did not know where to live in exile. The damage this caused to Odin was not small.

Fortunately, Thor, who was once reckless and brutal, has grown into a qualified prince.

On both sides of the throne stood Queen Frigga, Lady Sif and a trio of warriors.

Frigga acted like a mother and looked at the two Asgardians with loving eyes. Ms. Sif and the warrior trio looked at the two people with admiration and admiration. They had fought side by side. , they were amazed by the two men's martial arts, and were grateful for everything they had done for their hometown.

"My child, you have received the most sincere gratitude from Asgard." Odin said, his old voice echoing above the temple, faintly, as if coming from the sky.

The two of them didn't know how to return the salute. Xia Tian thought about it again and again. The military salute seemed inappropriate, and the knight's salute didn't suit his status. Hmm... Is it too casual to nod in greeting? Should he bow or step forward to shake hands? Will you be beaten to death if you hug your breasts?

Xia Tian hesitated for a long time, cupped his fists and bowed his hands to Odin...

Nicole learned well and paid Odin a New Year's greeting...

"Asgard will never treat its distinguished warriors unfairly. It was you who pulled Asgard back from the edge of the abyss. You saved the lives of countless Asgardians, solved this huge crisis, and put out In the flames of war, you executed Lao Fei. In the most critical moment, you connected the hearts of the Asgardians, brought courage to the soldiers, and guided the people."

Odin said, with a hint of admiration in his words. He knew the war in his hometown very well. When the Asgardians were fighting on their own, retreating steadily, and their lives were at stake, it was this Midgard woman who emerged from the sky. She was born and used her arrogant force and intelligent incitement to light up the light of faith of the Asgardians and protect the last pure land of Asgard.

"Listen to my children, your weapon was damaged in the battle with the guardian." Odin said, and with a smooth move, two stone two-handed swords flew over and were inserted in front of Nicole. meters away.

"Oh, my God King..." Thor looked shocked, muttering in his mouth, looking intently at the two stone swords not far away, then smiled and shook his head, "That's right, you deserve such a reward."

Nicole heard Thor's exclamation. She looked at the two stone swords in the distance without knowing why. The two gray-black stone swords seemed nothing special. Should Thor be so shocked?

Xia Tian lightly bumped into Sol on the side and raised his eyebrows.

Thor whispered: "The raw material of Uru, the craftsmanship of the dwarf country, Shiv has liked these swords for a long time."

"Dwarf Kingdom" Summer is in full swing, and the dwarves, one of the nine kingdoms, sounds very interesting.

"My ignorant friend, you have only heard about the dwarves, but not Uru. My Mjolnir, my father's divine spear was all forged with Uru." Thor whispered.

"What did you say?" Xia Tian's voice couldn't help but become louder, attracting everyone's attention. Xia Tian hurriedly lowered his head, looking like a "good baby".

Odin smiled, did not blame Xia Tian, ​​and said: "You have received my blessing, child, they belong to you."

Nicole stepped forward and held the hilt of the stone sword with both hands. The next moment, the gray-black and plain stone sword suddenly lit up with traces of lines. Mysterious magic runes covered the swords, starting from Nicole's hands. Spreading downward to the tip of the sword, after the light passed, the ordinary stone sword had changed its appearance, turning into a metal two-handed sword with great texture, thick and majestic.

Nicole instantly recalled a picture. When she was on Earth, an ordinary Thor's Hammer was thrown into the wilderness, looking nothing special. And after it recognized Thor, looking at the hammer that Thor was holding now, it was completely different.

"Is the blessing of God King Odin too precious?" Nicole was not confused by such a treasure. Although she asked Odin, she turned to look at Xia Tian, ​​indicating that Xia Tian would make a decision for her.

"No, child, you deserve such a reward." Odin's eyes shifted and finally fell on Thor, but he said to Nicole, "You not only helped Asgard's present, you also helped The future of Asgard, this is priceless."

In their hearts, Xia Tian and the two of them were indeed indispensable for Thor's ability to evade pursuit, cheer up, mature, and finally gain Mjolnir's recognition.

Thor nodded heavily to God King Odin, bumped Xia Tian's shoulder, and said: "Let her accept it, my friend."

Xia Tian nodded lightly, and Nicole then played with the sword flower and looked at her new toy carefully. Yushuo would like to thank Shiri Tianxia for the reward of 1000 starting coins.
