"Our Majesty the King is leading an army on a campaign, and the unusual activity of the Jotunheim Frost Giants is already a matter of urgency."
The calm and crisp voice of the queen of heaven reverberated through the halls of the astrological tower.This is the place where the magic of Asgardian is most active, and the rune witches under the command of the Queen of Heaven decorate the Queen's tower in a very imaginative way, and at the top of the tower, there are shining star projections that move in the direction of the celestial bodies.It is also the most sacred place in the hearts of all astrologers of the entire Nine Kingdoms.It is also home to the largest library in all of Asgard, where secrets from eternity to the future are kept.And now, in a place that should have been accessible only to the most skilled rune witches, but was filled with ministers and generals of the Golden Palace, there was no doubt that something important was happening here."
We have no doubt that the great God-King, my husband Odin, will bring another glorious victory to Asgard, that is inevitable.But we also have urgent issues right now, and that's why I've gathered you here tonight, folks. ”Carrying her ivory cane, her long blond hair fluttering behind her shoulders, she had been the most beautiful and wise witch in all of Asgard, and it had been thousands of years since she was favored by the King of the Realm and became his queen.Although the mythical Norse gods are immortal, in reality, although the Asgardians lived for a long time, they were still not immune to the effects of birth, old age, sickness and death.The once beautiful diva is no longer young, and her face has been carved by time and wrinkled.But her wisdom has not diminished in the slightest, and the passage of time has made her wiser, and she has won the respect of everyone in the Golden Palace, and when Odin leads the army to fight, the queen of heaven will temporarily take the throne.Now, with a serious face on the theoretical regent, she said to the ministers of the Golden Palace: "The spirits of the dead have prayed to me, and in my sleep they have proclaimed to me a terrible truth. ”"Ladies and gentlemen, the dimensions of hell are becoming chaotic, and the first thing this chaos affects is the cycle of life and death of the Asgardians.""
It is our age-old tradition that the bravest and wisest of us will enter the halls of Valhalla after death, where they will live forever in glory.But we cannot ignore the other dead. ”The Queen of Heaven lit her cane on the ground covered with mysterious runes, and in the collision between the tip of the ivory cane and the ground, ripples like water waves echoed."
They may not be good enough to enter Valhalla, but they are still our people, and in return for our allegiance to the King, we should defend their right to the World Tree at the end of their lives!
That's our tradition as well. ”Well, the Asgardians have a different view of life and death than the earthlings.They believe that all the origins of life in the Nine Kingdoms come from the invisible but truly existing World Tree in the stars, and they believe that after the end of the journey of life, all pure souls will return to the World Tree, and then the cycle of life and death can be truly completed.The soul that does not go through this cycle will be miserable.In the Asgardian concept, hell also exists, and all the dead are to enter Niforheim, the land of fog, which is the passage of the dead to Hades, where the evil dog Gorm who guards the underworld will drive those souls into Hades, where they will be judged.Asgardians and earthlings fear Hades, and legend has it that the mysterious, unpronounceable Grim Reaper rules it, and its physical existence is like a labyrinth that can never be navigated.The guilty will be trapped in the left wing of Hades for eternity, where they will be tormented until their sins are paid for.Those who are innocent will be housed in the west wing of Hades, where the world of the dead will be shaped by the unspeakable Grim Reaper, where they will await the call of the World Tree.The purest and greatest souls will live in the best environment in the south wing of Hades as a reward for the righteous.There they waited for the Valkyries to lure them to the glorious Valhalla, to become the legendary Heroic Spirits of Asgard, to drink the richest mead with their ancestors, to hunt together, to fight together, and to enjoy eternal glory together.As for the north wing of Hades...
It was a mysterious forbidden place, and even the worst Asgardians would not enter it, because it was not intended for Asgardians at all.No one knows what's there, and no one knows why Hades has a north wing.Well, the legend is magnificent, but the reality is cruel.Few people know that the Grim Reaper, who rules the underworld of Niflheim and Asgard, has disappeared, and the hell dimension in the nine kingdom systems is already in chaos.The diva may know the secret, but she can't tell.Because it's not just a secret, it's a lot of complicated things."
Everyone!"
The queen of heaven's deep voice echoed in the astrological tower, and she said: "Asgard doesn't care about the changes in the dimensions of hell, as long as they don't affect the order of the Nine Kingdoms, then what those crazy demons and devils want to do has nothing to do with us, but now, the souls of our people are being affected by this chaos, so we have to make a decision." ”"We're going to find out what the hell is going on in the Hell dimension...
Most importantly, we want to make sure that our people can return to our traditions after death. ”"I invite you here to select a messenger to travel to the Hellish Dimension on Asgard's behalf to investigate this matter.""
He must be brave enough not to fear the chaos of hell;" "He must be sharp enough to see through the fog;" "He must be wise enough not to recklessly intervene in the changing state of hell, let alone involve Asgard.""
The Asgardians are never afraid of challenges, but we also never fight meaningless battles. ”The queen of heaven's statement made all the old ministers nod their heads in unison.The Queen of Heaven said this beautifully, which made people listen to it very comfortably, but in fact, at the moment when the Odin god personally commanded several legions to Jotunheim to suppress the Frost Giants' rebellion, the Asgardian God Domain was no longer able to wage war against Hell at the same time.After all, there are so many generals in the Asgardian army, but the situation that can make the God King personally come out is definitely not small.And although Asgard is powerful, the enemies that this country has to face are not just the Frost Giants of Jotunheim.All in all, it's the art of speaking."
Your Majesty Friga."
A man over 4 meters tall, with a thick beard and a huge body, but his limbs were extremely stocky, stepped forward, his steps were heavy, and the floor of the astrological tower was constantly shaking.It's a dwarf...
Well, that's what dwarves look like, at least the dwarves of Nidavel, the dwarven kingdom that lives in the Nine Kingdoms of Asgard.Their facial features and limbs are similar to those of the short dwarves on Earth, but they are about the same height as the Frost Giants, which are purebred dwarves.And the dwarves on the earth are the "orphans" they left there thousands of years ago, because of the earth's environment and other factors, those orphans eventually became very short, only half the height of a normal person.The purebred dwarves born of Nidavel...
In fact, each one is a real giant.In short, the rude dwarf seemed to be drunk, and in a rough voice, he shouted, "Can't Heimdall, the gatekeeper, see the problems faced by the souls?"
Didn't his eyes claim to be able to see everything that happened in the Nine Kingdoms?
”"I can see it!"
Dressed in heavy armor and wearing a horned battle helmet, with eyes like stars wrapped in stars, Heimdall held his sword of victory and said in a deep voice: "But there have been some 'small' problems in the Hell dimension recently, and those Hell Lords have joined forces to arrange special enchantments in several Hell dimensions, and they seem to be planning something dangerous. ”The Asgardian gatekeeper muttered, "According to some gossip, the endless battle for the King of Hell is about to begin again, perhaps for this reason." ”"What about Niflheim?
And Hades!
”The drunken dwarf seemed to be on a par with Heimdall, and he asked, "You can always see there, right?"
”Heimdall was silent for a moment, he exchanged glances with the queen in a vague manner, and then said in a deep voice, "I can see that everything is normal there...""
The problem is not in the Land of Fog and Hades, the problem is elsewhere.""
Perhaps, it's the border of hell that has just recently reopened the dimensional passage...
I've heard that the shameful cultist of the evil god Belakis is dead, and that the cursed haunted place has been replaced by a young queen...""
Then let's go to the border of hell!"
Just as Heimdall finished speaking, a loud voice rang out behind the crowd.Everyone, including the queen of heaven, Frigga looked up and looked back, and at the back of the crowd, Prince Thor, armed with the legendary divine soldier Mjournier, and his unflattering brother Loki, were standing at the entrance to the astrological tower.The young prince shook his trademark long golden hair, and strode into the tower with his hammer in his hand, and as if he had listened to the arguments between the queen and the ministers, he exclaimed, "Since the problem is there, there is only one thing left for us to do!"
”Thor walked up to the changing Queen, knelt down on one knee to his mother, put his hammer on the ground, and exclaimed, "Mother, I apply to be the messenger of the Divine Realm and go to the hell of all evils, and I will surely investigate who is maliciously obstructing our people from fulfilling their traditions." ”"This is an extremely bad provocation to the Asgardian Divine Domain!"
Thor said with a serious face, "Those culprits must be severely punished!"
”"Nope!
Your Highness Thor, you can't go!
”Heimdall, the gatekeeper, was the first to speak out, acting more emotionally than usual, more like a general than a statue that obeyed only the orders of the god-king.He said, "You are not fit to be a messenger. ”"Why?"
Thor asked, "Am I not as strong as the demons of hell?"
Do you think I'll be intimidated by the drudgery of going to hell?
No, Heimdall, it's a difficult task that takes courage to do, and I don't think there's anyone better suited than me!
”"Yes, Thor was right."
Wearing green armor and a cape, Loki, who dressed himself in a shiny pink face, also helped out: "Everyone in Asgardian knows my brother's endless courage, and the thunder and lightning in his hand is the best proof of his courage...
Thor has conquered the Frost Giants and those restless invaders, and now, it's time for him to conquer Hell!
”This guy is the most famous dramatist in all of Asgard, and he speaks like an ode.But that's what Thor eats.He accepted his brother's praise as he said to the Queen of Heaven and the Gatekeeper, "Send me, Queen Mother, and I will settle this matter as easily as I can deal with the enemies of Asgard!"
”"Thor!
Loki!
”However, the diva Frigga didn't seem to like the idea, and she scolded, "Stand down!
”"I'm discussing something important with the ministers, you and Loki leave the tower immediately!""
You two are not allowed to participate in this matter, Heimdall is right, you are not suitable to be an emissary, and this matter is not something you can do by wielding a war hammer and summoning thunder and lightning!""
But, Queen Mother, I—" Thor wanted to say something more, but his mother, who had always loved him, was so serious this time that there was no possibility of any accommodation."

Stand down!"
The queen of heaven pointed her ivory cane to the ground, and there was a hint of inexplicable anger in her voice.Immediately, several witches and wizards dressed in robes and covered in blue runes appeared out of nowhere, armed with staffs, and gathered around Prince Thor and Prince Loki.They represent the will of the Queen of Heaven, and if the two princes still intend to disobey, then they will be thrown out of the astrological tower in embarrassment the next moment.In this tower, no one can stand up to these rune guards.What's more, to use force here would mean disobedience to the Queen of Heaven, Frigga, who is the ruler of Asgard when the God-King is now on his expedition, and she represents the majesty of royal power."
Let's go, Thor."
Loki felt a touch of irreversible will from the queen's cold tone, he quietly pulled his brother's armor, and he whispered, "Don't make the queen angry...
Let's go to the bar. ”Thor looked back at his brother, and he saw Loki wink at him, and Thor immediately realized that Loki had another idea.So he took a deep breath, stood up, apologized to his mother, and calmly followed Loki out of the tower.They rode back to the tavern where they had been drinking, and asked for two large glasses of mead, Thor drank the mead from the glasses, then touched his beard and looked at Loki, who played with the wine glass and whispered, "It is the king's duty to defend the interests of the people, my brother, I know that you who aspire to be a king will not rest on your laurels, and you will not turn a blind eye to this evil act that hurts the people, and even if I kneel down and beg you, you will not change your mind...""
So as always, this time I've decided to be on your side."
Loki took a sip of wine, a twinkle flashed in his sly eyes, and he whispered, "And it just so happens that the other day, when I was making a bet with a babbling elf, I learned something from him...""
