Hero Growth Manual [Comprehensive British and American]

Loki's guess was right. This scepter, which he had worked so hard to obtain, symbolized power and faith, and it was indeed the best key to knock on the enemy's strong fortress.

In addition, he was also surprised to find that the value carried by the scepter itself was actually far superior to the meaning it represented. Loki already understood its importance after only a little contact with the surging power within it.

This can easily explain one thing, why this sudden noble private army did not show up when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and it did not show up when the clansmen were fighting bloody battles, but it appeared when everything was over.

Also happened to appear near the palace.

Because the scepter happened to be hidden in the palace, perhaps what the people behind it wanted was not the so-called stability and peace of the country, but maybe the supreme power.

Out of this speculation, Loki tentatively proposed to negotiate with the leader of the other party on the condition of the scepter, but the other party listened and agreed to his request without much hesitation.

This almost verified the conjecture of the God of Lies - it seems that Haida's interior was not peaceful.

But what does this have to do with the Second Highness? Loki listened to the news brought back by the sent soldiers with a smile, and rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at the general who had been standing by his side since he heard the news, almost as silent as a quail, and smiled slightly: "It seems that we can prepare."

It was also at this time that everyone suddenly discovered that the God of Trick had a very clear idea about this matter.

By now, he was almost certain that the opponent's purpose was not Thor, at least not all of Thor, but the scepter hidden deep in the Haida Palace, where it was unknown.

Thor might just be an obstacle or an excuse for the other party's search for the scepter, or even the other party might not want to deal with him at all, but they can't reveal this secret, so they can only stand in a stalemate with him, and they may get rid of him if necessary.

And when is it necessary?

Just like right now, he was just looking for something, but he desperately sent out a person, which attracted a large number of troops from God's Domain. The other party originally thought they wanted to hide their strength, and now they probably wanted to kill him.

Thinking about it carefully, it is quite unlucky, both sides are unlucky, Thor is stationed in the palace, the scepter is also in the palace, and this army... He happens to be a Haida who just fought against Thor.

It's strange if you don't pinch them when you meet...

The worst thing is, this scepter was taken away by Loki early on_(:з」∠)_

The ins and outs of this incident were almost silent to those who listened, so the camp, which had no sound at all, suddenly became even more silent, and people could almost hear the subtle breathing of people.

Loki raised his eyebrows to see the different but indescribable expressions of everyone, hooked his lips, and randomly pulled out a pen. He squinted his eyes and smiled, and stretched out his hand to click a certain place on the map.

"I made an appointment with them to meet somewhere in the king's city, and I will bring some people there. As for Thor..." He paused and said, "At that time, I will try to restrain the other party as much as possible. He's going to bother everyone."

All the generals who had been arguing a few days ago looked at each other, and they all saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

It was as if they had just met this mischievous god for the first time, and the contempt in their eyes had already faded involuntarily, and real respect emerged.

They solemnly made a guarantee to Loki, not from obeying the orders of the king of the gods, but from their willingness to admit to him in their hearts.

When Loki saw it, he lowered his head slightly and coughed lightly. It was rare that he didn't contradict others. Facing the sincere words and suggestions of the generals for combat, he nodded slightly and replied with a slight smile: "Okay."

It's like a great king.

There was an unprecedented harmonious atmosphere in the camp. Only when they were leaving, did someone react in a trance and turned around and asked strangely, "Then where did His Highness get the scepter?"

The others turned their heads in unison.

Loki seemed to have anticipated this question a long time ago. Facing the slightly probing gazes of the superiors, he smiled lightly and said lightly, "I accidentally found it in the palace on the day the war was won."

Some people were puzzled, but because of the great change in the impression of the Second Highness, this puzzled became a little hesitant: "Then why not..." Hand it over to the God King?

Loki seemed to be stunned for a moment. He seemed helpless and didn't know what to do. In the end, his eyes were almost soft, and then he said softly: "The victory of this war does not belong to one person. I originally wanted to wait for Thor When you come back, then..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood instantly, and looked at him differently.

Uuuuu Second Highness, we were wrong, you are so caring and intelligent, we misunderstood you before, you are simply the best Second Highness in Asgard, we love you QAQ

Loki has been watching everyone leave with this kind of soft and somewhat sad eyes.

Until the last person walked out, his originally gentle and drooping eyebrows suddenly raised upwards, which made his original humble and gentle temperament suddenly changed and became lively.

He looked at the direction everyone was leaving in astonishment, and couldn't help but ask Ayu who had been sitting beside him: "Do they... all believe it?"

"..."

Ayu looked at him blankly, blinked his eyes, although he didn't quite understand exactly what happened, but for some reason, he suddenly felt inexplicably distressed.

The Second Highness didn't have any spiritual condemnation. He leaned against the table for discussion, thought about it, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, his eyes slightly curved. He thought it was very interesting, but he didn't hate it.

……

In Loki's view, it was risky to carry a scepter to negotiate with people, so from the beginning, he didn't intend to talk honestly with people at all.

Joke, would it be my style to be so honest╭(╯^╰)╮

Ayu looked in surprise at the two almost identical scepters held in the hands of the God of Lies, and then looked up at Loki who was smiling proudly, dumbfounded.jpg

"Can you tell which one is the real one?" Loki said while bending down a little, the two scepters, which would play a huge role in the war, were randomly brought to Ayu by him, and he handed them to her carefully. look.

After hearing this, Ayu stretched out her hand to touch it lightly, the scepter felt slightly cool to the touch, she blinked her eyes as soon as she touched it, thought for a while biting her fingers, pointed to one of them, and answered very simply: "This is it. "

"Why?" After hearing what she said, Loki neither objected nor agreed, he just raised his hand to press Ayu's hair, raised his eyebrows and asked her curiously, "Why do you think so?"

"Because there's nothing in this one." Ayu pointed to the other one, but felt that Loki's question was a bit strange, "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen the real one, so how could I admit my mistake?"

Second Highness: "..."

Okay, then I have to thank you for your willingness to cooperate with my performance. After all, is there any necessary relationship between seeing it and being able to recognize it? ? ?

The Second Highness didn't know if there was any necessary relationship, but he soon discovered that smart children were a minority after all, and stupid people still couldn't recognize them.

The negotiation took place in a very secluded residential house in Wangcheng. The location here is very good. It is neither far from the army of God's Domain nor closer to Haida. Both parties seem quite satisfied.

Even though the god of trickery sits in such a simple and small dwelling, he is still elegant and dignified. He sits with his legs bent, a smile on his lips, half-length black hair hanging slightly on his shoulders, and his slender fingers pointing in a certain direction. pointed.

Immediately someone came up behind him and took out a tightly wrapped object.Loki moved his fingers, and the person holding the object took off the wrapped cloth, revealing the gorgeous and dazzling scepter underneath.

It looks like the one the Haida royal family dreamed of.

The other party obviously recognized the thing he longed for since he was a child. Only then did he truly believe in the famous God of Mischief in God's Domain, and came out of the dark place.

Loki raised his eyebrows and watched a person suddenly walk out of the empty place just now, smiled lightly, but didn't say much.

His expression was simply magnanimous, as if he didn't care about the great ambition and greed of the other party when he looked at the scepter, and let people take things over and observe carefully.

Oh shit.The God of Lies watched the other party's reaction quietly. After seeing the desire and fascination in the other party's eyes that gradually became stronger, he couldn't help but sigh with regret in his heart.

He didn't even recognize it.

Not only that, he didn't even find anything wrong, so without further ado, just give a bad review.

The other party gently rubbed the scepter, as if he didn't dare to use more strength, his eyes were full of fascination, seeing that he couldn't wake up for the time being, Loki chuckled, shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ayu .

Standing in the crowd, Ayu was firmly protected by the soldiers of God's Domain, winking at him from afar.

Originally, Loki didn't want to take her with him. After all, thinking about it with his brother's not smart head, he also knew that this would definitely be a bloody conflict.

And the Second Highness, who never knew what caring was, was unexpectedly a little self-conscious, knowing that children should be considered, and let her avoid them.

Besides, it seemed safer to stay.

However, after thinking about it, he restrained the enemy's main force, and the remaining generals went to create chaos to rescue Thor. They didn't know what the chaos would be like.

The little one is so big, except for the kind-hearted Second Highness, who else would notice her, after thinking about it, it's safer to stay by her side.

The Second Highness thought about it, and couldn't help being very moved by his kindness.And the other party had already finished looking at the scepter, and seemed extremely satisfied, and said with a smile: "It seems that His Highness is very sincere."

"Of course." Loki raised his eyebrows, and casually pointed in Ayu's direction, "I even brought the children here."

On the other side, just about to speak harshly, Fang: "..."

How can I pick you up like this.

But this pause was only for a moment, and the person holding the scepter in his hand smiled inexplicably, while quickly backing away.

When he reached a safe place, he looked over through the crowd, waved his hand to signal the soldiers around him to attack, and said with a smile, "In that case, I will also give His Highness a gift."

Faced with the other party's sudden betrayal, Loki seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was not surprised at all. He shook his head slightly, looking extremely helpless.

"Why are you so impatient." He seemed to be facing a child who did a wrong question, his face was extremely disappointed, his slender and beautiful fingers moved slightly, and another magnificent symbol of power appeared in his hand.

"Fool, this is the truth."
