Chapter 232 Odin's Conditions

Infinity Gems from Parallel Universes?

Odin frowned even more.

As the father of the gods and a powerful god-father of Asgard, he knew that parallel universes really existed.

However, he had never been to other parallel universes in person.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Odin slowly said: "It's not impossible to give you the Reality Gem, but there is no free lunch in the world. What do you plan to exchange for the Reality Gem?"

Richard had thought about how to exchange the Reality Gem.

As soon as Odin finished speaking, he said slowly: "The Box of Winter and the Eternal Flame exchanged for my promise to help stop the goddess of death Hela."

"The Reality Gem is much more precious than the Box of Winter and the Eternal Flame, so I plan to exchange the Reality Gem with three promises."

"As long as it is within my ability, I will do three things for you or Asgard for free."

Although Richard got a lot of things in the Naruto world, those things were of no value to Odin, who was already a god-father.

After thinking about it, he decided to exchange his three promises for the Reality Stone.

On the surface, it seems a bit too good to exchange the Reality Stone for three promises.

But Richard didn't think his request was too much.

Like the Box of Winter and the Eternal Flame, the Reality Stone was also snatched from Asgard.

To be precise, it was Odin's father, the previous father of the gods, Bal, who snatched it from the dark elves.

Not only that, after snatching the Reality Stone, neither Bal nor Odin took the Reality Stone back to Asgard, but sealed it in an unknown place.

In the movie, Thor's girlfriend Jane Foster came to the seal of the Reality Stone by chance, causing the Reality Stone to enter her body, and then there was a series of events in which the dark elves tried to snatch the Reality Stone back.

After hearing Richard's words, Odin did not give an immediate answer, but fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, he continued, "I need to think about it and give you an answer later."

"No problem."

Richard replied.

Odin said nothing more, called the guard at the door in, and asked the guard to take Richard down to rest.

Richard just came out of the king's study and saw Thor who had not left.

"What did you talk about with your father?"

Thor asked immediately.

"Nothing, just a few words."

Richard said slowly.

Although Thor was not a bad person, he did not intend to tell Thor that he had exchanged three promises for the reality gem.

At this time, Thor did not know the existence of the reality gem.

Although he had heard of the artifact "ether particle" of the dark elves, he did not know that the ether particle was the reality gem.

In addition, in the information disclosed by Asgard, the dark elves and the ether particles were destroyed by the previous father of the gods, Bauer.

After seeing that Richard was unwilling to tell him the truth, Thor did not continue to ask, and asked casually: "How long do you plan to stay in Asgard this time?"

"It's not certain yet, it depends on how His Majesty arranges it."

Richard said slowly.

He will definitely not leave before getting the Reality Stone.

As for when Odin is willing to tell him the seal location of the Reality Stone, he can't say for sure now.

Although Odin said that he would give him an answer in a while, the days of Asgard people are not the same as the days of Earthlings.

The average lifespan of ordinary Asgardians has reached 5,000 years.

As for Asgardians with the blood of the God King, such as Odin and Thor, their lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary Asgardians.

The time Odin mentioned could be two or three days later, or two or three months later.

If Odin is still undecided, it could even be a few years later.

After chatting with Richard casually for a few words, Thor left without accompanying the Golden Palace guards to send him to the rest room.

After walking for more than ten minutes with the Golden Palace guards wearing golden armor and holding spears, Richard came to a room located on the upper floor of the Golden Palace.

After looking at the room, Richard nodded with satisfaction.

Although this place is not as good as his residence in the Silver City Palace, it is also very good.

I won’t talk about the area and layout.

Because it is located on the upper floor of the Golden Palace, the balcony of the room can not only overlook the scenery in Asgard City, but also overlook the vast universe.

In the words of Earth real estate sales, this room is an absolute "cosmic view room".

When the Golden Palace guards who led the way left, Richard used telepathy to lock Kaguya and Nancy in the living room and established a spiritual connection with them.

After telling them the location of the room, he ended the telepathy and came to the outdoor sofa on the balcony of the room and sat down.

Not long after, Kaguya and Nancy came to the room.

There are several bedrooms in the room, enough for the three of them.

In the evening.

Thor prepared a small welcoming banquet for Richard.

In addition to Thor, Loki, Sif, and the three warriors of Asgard were also present.

As for Richard, he brought Nancy and Kaguya with him.

After he introduced Nancy and Kaguya, Loki and others' eyes unconsciously fell on Kaguya.

Although they had seen many alien intelligent races, none of them recognized the planet Kaguya came from.

In the universe, there are many humanoid intelligent races with horns on their heads and eyes on their foreheads.

But there is no race that has both characteristics at the same time.

In addition, they all keenly sensed that the seemingly weak Kaguya was not as simple as she seemed on the surface, but possessed considerable strength.

Compared to Kaguya, they didn't pay that much attention to Nancy.

Although Nancy now has the authority to draw divine energy from the divine realm, due to her physical condition, she does not draw much divine energy.

Even if she absorbs as much divine energy as Kaguya, there is still a huge gap between her and Kaguya.

On the one hand, it's because Kaguya still possesses chakra and blood successor snare.

On the other hand, it's because Kaguya's combat experience far exceeds hers.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the reception banquet prepared by Saul for Richard was without any suspense and turned into a drinking party between Richard and Saul.

In Asgard, no matter what kind of banquet it is, it will eventually turn into a drinking party between men.

For Asgardian men, defeating the other party at the drinking table is no different from defeating the other party in battle.

Although Richard rarely drinks heavily, his drinking capacity is not bad.

Even if he was alone now, he didn't think Saul and the others could beat him at the wine table.

As he guessed, Loki and Fandral among the Three Warriors of Asgard were the first to lie down.

Once those two were down, it was Vostagg and Hogan's turn.

When the Three Warriors of Asgard and Loki fell, Thor knew that he was unlikely to win against Richard tonight.

His hunch was right.

Although his drinking capacity is much better than Loki's.

But compared with Richard, who has the template of Superboy Supreme, his drinking capacity is still much worse.

After drinking Sol too, Richard put down the wine glass in his hand and shook his head with a smile.

Then, he stood up and came to Sif, and said to Sif: "Ask someone to send them back, we will go back first."

"good."

Sif, who was chatting with Nancy and Kaguya, stood up and quickly replied.

Richard did not choose to walk back to the room, came between Kaguya and Nancy, and put his arms around their slender waists.

Teleportation.

The next second, they disappeared from Sif's sight and returned to the room from the banquet hall.

After returning to the room, Richard took Nancy towards his bedroom.

Watching him and Nancy leave, Kaguya immediately gave him a roll of her eyes.

…

Noon the next day.

Richard gently pushed Nancy's arms and thighs away from him, stood up and put on his clothes.

After washing up, he came to the living room and saw Kaguya sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea.

After seeing Kaguya holding a book with a strange title in his hand, Richard asked: "Where did this book come from?"

"I borrowed it from a maid when I was out for a walk."

Kaguya said calmly.

Borrowed it from the maid?

After hearing Kaguya's answer, Richard showed a true expression.

The book Kaguya is reading now is titled "I Married an Elf Knight."

Obviously, this is an Asgardian romance novel.

"Have you had lunch?"

Richard continued to ask.

"Of course I ate."

"Don't interrupt my reading. If you want to eat, just ask the maid to bring it to you, or go to the restaurant yourself."

After saying that, Kaguya ignored Richard and continued to browse the romance novel in front of her.

Richard sighed, turned and left the room.

He did not go to the restaurant. After asking for directions from the Golden Palace guard he met, he walked straight towards the royal library inside the Golden Palace.

Although he is not a member of Asgard's royal family, the royal library is not only open to members of the royal family.

After seeing Kaguya reading romance novels, the idea of ​​checking out what books were in the royal library immediately came to his mind.

Although it was unlikely that there would be particularly rare books in the royal library, he did not want to borrow those precious books.

It may be that not many Asgardians like reading, or it may be that there are some hidden conditions for entering the royal library.

After arriving at the royal library located inside the Golden Palace, Richard only met four people, two men and two women.

These four people are not here to read books in the library, but are maids and administrators who are responsible for the daily work of the library.

After seeing Richard, they first showed unexpected expressions.

Then, a blond man wearing a white robe came to Richard and said with a respectful expression: "Is your Excellency Richard here to borrow books?"

"Yes."

Richard answered.

"What books would you like to borrow?"

The blond man continued to ask.

"Let's borrow books related to the basics of magic first."

Richard said slowly.

Although he does not need to learn magic to improve his strength, it is not a bad thing to understand the basics of Asgard's magic.

Knowledge is power!

It’s never a bad thing to have a little more knowledge.

"Okay, Sir Richard, you can sit here for a while, and I will go get the books on the basics of magic."

The blond man replied.

"Okay, please."

Richard nodded and sat down at the table next to him.

Not long after, the blond man came to him with a blond woman in a robe, pushing a small cart similar to a dining cart.

On the golden cart, there were dozens of basic magic books.

After transferring the books on the cart to the desk, the blond man and the other man said goodbye and left.

Richard picked up a book at random and quickly flipped through it.

Because of the super brain power given by the Supreme Little Superman template, his reading speed is not ordinary.

A book on the basic principles of magic as thick as a brick was read by him in less than a minute.

After putting it aside, he picked up the second one.

Time passed little by little.

It only took half an hour for Richard to read all the basic magic books on the table.

Although they were not particularly advanced magic books, after browsing these books, he had a clear understanding of Asgard's magic.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked to the blond man sitting at the workbench at the entrance of the library, and said slowly: "I have finished reading those books, you can put the books back."

"Next, I will find the books I want to read by myself, so I won't bother you."

After hearing his words, the blond man immediately replied: "Okay, if you need anything else, you can tell us at any time."

Richard nodded and turned to walk towards the collection area of ​​magic books.

Time flies.

Unknowingly, it was night.

After spending most of the day in the Royal Library, Richard finally finished reading today and returned to his room by teleportation.

In the next few days, he was either reading in the Royal Library or discussing with Thor and others.

Five days passed like this, and Odin finally called him to the King's Study again.

"I heard from others that you have been running to the Royal Library these days, and you stay there for several hours."

Odin asked Richard.

"I have nothing to do, so I read books to kill time."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, Odin continued, "I have thought about it seriously. I can give you the Reality Stone."

"However, I don't want your promise. I want you to do something."

"What do you want me to do?"

Richard asked calmly.

"I want to go to the underworld."

Odin said quickly.

The underworld?

Richard frowned immediately and said slowly, "You don't want me to go to the underworld to kill Hela, do you?"

Although the movie did not explain in detail what the place where Hela was sealed was called, Richard knew that the place where Odin sealed Hela was most likely the underworld.

As for why Hela appeared on Earth when she escaped, it was very simple, because Odin also died on Earth.

In other words, after Odin died, the seal he laid immediately had a loophole.

So, Hela followed the loophole to the place where Odin died.

"No, I don't want you to go to the underworld to kill Hela."

"No matter what, she is my daughter."

Odin shook his head and replied quickly.

...
