#705 - Leaving Asgard

Being moved and then getting married, this seems to be the basic formula for love in the world. Some say that love in the world often originates from lust at first sight. Let's put aside this extreme idea for the moment. In short, once you fall in love with someone, he or she must have something that attracts you.

Malekith is no exception. Of course, he wasn't moved by the Queen of the Elves; he was moved by the entirety of Alfheim.

Since their birth, the Light Elves have never fallen into civil war. A harmonious society without turmoil has become the best soil, allowing all disciplines to have ample room to grow.

The knowledge accumulated by the Light Elves is vast, so vast that Malekith was stunned.

Therefore, Malekith changed his strategy. He decided to directly annex Alfheim, which would not only give him knowledge, population, and land, but also indirectly weaken Asgard.

After all, although there was no explicit agreement, Alfheim was indeed on good terms with Asgard.

Originally, there were ten worlds on the World Tree: Asgard, led by the Aesir; Vanaheim, where the Vanir lived; Alfheim, the realm of the Light Elves; Nidavellir, where the dwarves dwelled; Midgard (the Middle Realm), the human world; Jotunheim, occupied by the Frost Giants; Svartalfheim, where the Dark Elves were entrenched; Hel, led by Hela; Muspelheim, the land of primordial fire; and the paradise of the angels.

Among them, Asgard, Vanaheim, and Nidavellir were united. Alfheim belonged to the alliance formed by these three countries. Paradise was purely mercenary; they sided with whoever paid more.

Except for Midgard, which was relatively special, the rest were completely disorganized.

The alliance of the three realms, led by Asgard, was very solid. Whenever one of them was attacked, the other two would come to help. This is why Asgard had never been defeated.

It was not only because the leader of Asgard was King Odin, but also because of the iron-clad union of the three kingdoms.

Therefore, in order to deal with this alliance, Hela secretly formed her own alliance with so many countries. For their own interests, Malekith and others also joined this alliance.

However, Malekith joined for his own benefit. He believed that everyone else was the same, so this weak bond could not bring Malekith a sense of security.

Malekith decided to find a way out for himself, and taking Alfheim into his fold was the first step.

Laufey was only surprised by Malekith's decision, and then he understood that this profit-driven guy must have found something he wanted.

However, Laufey didn't care about this. He only cared about when he could attack Asgard and squeeze out Odin's other eye. So, after the Dark Elf army arrived, Laufey left with the Frost Giants.

This is also why Malekith chose Laufey instead of others to help him. The Frost Giants are mostly taciturn. No matter what you want them to do, as long as you explain it clearly, they won't be talkative, and they will only roar like they have hyperthyroidism during battle.

Malekith waved goodbye to Laufey and his army, and then turned to his own army. He would be busy for the next period of time.

Thus, Alfheim fell into Malekith's hands without anyone knowing. The peace of the Nine Realms may begin to collapse from this moment.

...

It has been two days since the last sparring session with Thor. During this time, Thor has been entertaining Yang Le and Gwen, driving his chariot pulled by flying goats and taking them all over Asgard.

The two have seen many animals and plants that they could not see on Earth, such as four-horned goats and dragons, which are relatively common animals. They have even seen Asgardians hunting dragons.

According to Thor, this is the norm in Asgard. Gwen was surprised by this. In her cognition, dragons should be very powerful animals. How did they become prey like hares in Asgard?

Thor also explained with a smile that dragons are indeed very strong creatures, but it depends on who you compare them to. The physical fitness of Asgardians is not worse than that of ordinary dragons, not to mention they can also use weapons.

Moreover, not all dragons are very strong. The gap between dragons is particularly large. Some dragons even Thor has to deal with carefully, and some dragons are so weak that several Asgardians can hunt them without injury as long as they cooperate properly.

Some Asgardian young people who are strict with themselves will even regard hunting dragons as their coming-of-age ceremony, which shows what kind of positioning Asgardians have for dragons.

For them, dragons are creatures that are difficult to deal with alone, but not worth mentioning with many people. Of course, this does not include those dragons that are beyond the norm.

The unusual worldview of Asgardians taught Gwen a lesson. Gwen was even thinking about whether to choose a major related to mythology after she went to college, after all, there is Thor, such a great encyclopedia.

Of course, Yang Le quickly dissuaded Gwen. The real Asgard and the Asgard in mythology are very different. Maybe the truth Gwen gets is fabricated in the eyes of the public, and all that awaits her then is a zero and a failing grade.

Gwen felt that what Yang Le said made sense, and then gave up the idea that came to her mind when her head got hot.

Although the university major has not been decided, Gwen has to admit that the Asgard tour in the past few days has been really great. This is a wonderful experience that cannot be experienced anywhere on Earth.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But happy times are always short. Yang Le and Gwen can't always stay in Asgard. After all, there is a lot of mess waiting to be cleaned up on Earth, and the two haven't touched the Internet for three days.

Asgard doesn't have the Internet. For a modern person, not having the Internet is absolutely impossible. Even Yang Le felt uncomfortable after not touching his mobile phone for two days.

Oops, this is really a generation deeply poisoned by Internet addiction.

In short, for various reasons, Yang Le and Gwen bid farewell to Thor, who was reluctant but agreed to send the two away, but before that, Thor hoped that the two could go back with him to see Odin and Frigga again.

The two had no objection, and took the flying goat chariot driven by Thor back to the Golden Palace, and bid farewell to the God King and Queen.

"So that's how it is..." Odin's one eye revealed a trace of melancholy, just like an elder facing a child who is about to travel far.

Yang Le was a little silent. During these days in Asgard, Odin always looked at himself with the eyes of a junior. Although he didn't say it, Yang Le knew that Odin did regard himself as an Asa Protoss.

There is only one chapter today. The cat at home is sick, so I took it to the hospital to see a doctor. Because the cat was stressed, I stayed with it for half a day, which made me feel physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, the cat had to be hospitalized, which made me absent-minded. I forced myself to write a chapter, but I really couldn't write the second chapter. Sorry
