Chapter 3352 Starship Sets Sail (Part )
When Schiller came to Asgard again, it had changed a lot. Odin and Frigga moved to Vanaheim. Thor and Sif renovated the palace according to their preferences. Although it still adhered to the magnificent and grand style of Asgard, there were still some differences in the details.
The main hall of Asgard, which was once used for reviewing troops and swearing in soldiers, has been transformed for full decorative purposes, adding a touch of complexity and splendor to its grandeur. As the first stop for important guests, it allows people to fully experience Asgard's achievements in architectural art.
The original living room has now been converted into an elevator room, with a huge landscape elevator. When Schiller walked up, he felt that it was a bit too empty, and later he learned that it was built to accommodate the larger species in the interstellar space.
What's more interesting is that the three major empires and the main races of Asgard are relatively small in size in the universe. Most of the races are between 3 and 5 meters tall, and the ratio of humanoid to non-humanoid is about 6:4. In other words, there are many non-humanoid races, and their size cannot be simply calculated by height and weight.
Of course, there are also some super-giant races whose height can reach tens of meters, and there are even gaseous races, which can be called parts of the body and can cover an area of several kilometers.
Asgard, which has restored normal diplomatic relations, naturally needs to adapt various equipment inside Asgard in order to accommodate different races in the universe. Elevators are one of them.
In order to test the convenience of the elevator, Schiller even transformed into Gray Mist. Gray Mist thought it was great, but he still said that if he wanted to really stretch his legs, they would have to build an elevator as big as the nine kingdoms.
The sleeping halls inside Asgard have also changed. Originally, the God King and his wife lived in the front hall, the housekeeper and servants lived in the back hall, there was a sleeping hall on the right for guests, and Thor and Loki lived on the left.
After Odin and his wife left, the King of Gods now lives on the left, the Prince lives on the right, and the guests live in the back hall.
Schiller of course went to visit Loki first. He occupied the entire right side of the palace, which was very large. Schiller walked around twice before he found Loki's room.
Originally his room was just a room with a door, but now his room is a suite with a hall. Schiller had to enter the hall first, and then go around the back from the throne to reach the bedroom.
"Your Highness, long time no see." Schiller spoke sarcastically from the start. How come Loki's house was so nice?
Loki had obviously just gotten up, leaning against the dressing table next to him in a daze. After hearing Schiller's voice, he rolled his eyes and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, busy doctor."
Schiller looked out through the French window on the side of the bedroom and found that this room just happened to see the Asgard Garden. The garden seemed to have been specially expanded and maintained, becoming larger and more endless. Various Asgard native plants and alien plants competed with each other in beauty, which was very gorgeous.
Schiller clicked his lips. No matter where they were, the royal family was always different. They really knew how to enjoy themselves.
Loki finally came to his senses, but he had no intention of washing up. He just tied his hair casually, put on his robe, and then said, "Did Thanos go to Earth? How was your talk?"
"Nick talked to him about it, and the two of them worked together. In the end, he agreed to attend the fleet's inauguration ceremony and make a small contribution to the opening of new shipping routes for mankind."
Loki walked barefoot to the desk next to him. On it was a star map with many messy symbols drawn on it. Some of the ink was not completely dry yet, and it was obviously made last night.
Schiller also leaned over to take a look and said in surprise, "So serious? Do you think Stephen is the navigator?"
Loki finally couldn't stand it anymore. Schiller dodged the scroll he threw at him. Schiller smiled and said, "Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of the captain. How long will it take you to finish? We haven't been to the World Tree Hot Spring for a long time."
Loki said nothing, but walked to the back door of the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, Schiller saw the steaming hot spring pool.
"Hot springs in homes?!" Schiller walked over and took a look inside. From the strong magical aura, he could tell that this was the World Tree Hot Spring. He just didn't know how it was brought into the Fairy Palace.
Moreover, the hot spring is located in a small private garden, with beautiful scenery and mist, and the environment is even better than under the World Tree. There is also a bar and a rest area next to it. It is completely conceivable that you can come here to soak in the hot spring and have a drink after work.
"I've been so busy lately that I haven't used it since it was built." Loki yawned and said, "When you're done with this, we can have a small gathering."
"If other Lokis saw this, they would be so envious." Schiller shook his head and said, "This is much better than your previous room."
"My original room has not been demolished. It is still upstairs." Loki shrugged and said, "In fact, I think it is better there. Although it is a little small, it is very warm. Besides, Thor lived next door to me at that time. Now we are far away from each other..."
"Don't go too far - don't give it to me!"
Loki finally laughed. He said, "You can't envy me for that. The renovation of Asgard doesn't cost my salary, but the royal fund. In fact, if I hadn't refused, Thor would have built a prince's palace for me on the other side of the mountain..."
Now it was Schiller's turn to throw the scroll at Loki.
Schiller was indeed envious, but not because of how well the house was built, but because it was built without spending Loki's own money, or even Thor's money, but with the royal family's money, or more precisely, Odin's wealth.
In fact, through so many years of interstellar plunder, Odin has accumulated quite astonishing wealth. Even if they build Asgard a hundred times more luxurious, it can't hurt the royal property.
Their ancestors were rich, this is really incomparable.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Schiller sat down on a chair by the window and said, "Nick and Thanos have been making a lot of money recently. I'm worried that Thanos is trying to recruit troops again. You have to remind Thor to be on guard."
"Do you think he still has not given up on the Earth?"
"It's possible." Schiller rubbed his fingertips and said, "Otherwise, where does he want to spend all the money he made?"
"It is more likely that he will attack the three empires than the nine kingdoms." Loki sat at his desk and finished his unfinished work.
"Why do you think so?"
"Because Earth has you." Loki said very bluntly, "He would rather go to war with the three major empires head-on than to provoke you."
"Can I take this as another form of slander?"
"You know whether it's slander or not. Rather than saying he's interested in the Earth, he's more interested in the Doukai you created."
Schiller frowned slightly, looked at Loki and said, "Did he tell you that?"
"He didn't say it directly, but I could sense that he meant it. For someone like him, the attraction of the endless multiverse and another big world is much greater than a small earth."
After a brief thought, Schiller said, "In another big world, there are also beings similar to him. The main reason I didn't include such beings is because I'm worried that they will go to various universes to become terrorists..."
"The development between universes is not balanced. If they are allowed to run around, it is very likely that too many weak universes will be destroyed, and it may also cause a joint boycott by superheroes. I don't want such chaos to happen, so it's best not to let them in."
"But think about it the other way around. If they put all their energy into invading the multiverse, then maybe it wouldn't be that harmful to their own universe. And invading the multiverse is always more difficult."
Schiller thought that what Loki said made sense. Just like now, he was worried that Thanos' ambition would be revived. But if he was allowed to enter the fighting world, the fun things there would completely attract all his attention and eliminate the hidden dangers for the universe.
And if all villains like Thanos who threaten a single universe can focus on the fighting world for a period of time, it can buy a lot of time for the development of the single universe.
However, the prerequisite for doing so is that the single universe must have room for development and be able to gather strength over a period of time to focus on development, rather than fighting each other and facing the villains strengthened by the fighting world in a weak posture.
If the quota is really released, then there is no doubt that this will become an arms race. Everyone will strive to compete for resources in the fighting world, and different characters from countless multiverses will definitely collide to create more sparks. This must be what the founders of the fighting world want to see.
Schiller kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind until Loki had almost finished all the work, and then rolled up the star map on the table and handed it to him. Schiller took a quick look and found that it marked almost all the civilizations and cosmic phenomena worth noting near the Milky Way. When you focus your attention on a certain point, many detailed information will appear directly in your mind.
"I won't be polite to you." Schiller said, "We will come to the hot springs after we are done."
After leaving Asgard, Schiller headed straight for Kamar-Taj. But before he even got to the top of the mountain, he discovered that Kamar-Taj was different now.
Originally, Kamar-Taj had only one temple, which was not very grand and majestic, but could only be described as simple and mysterious. However, under the unremitting construction of a certain Eastern country, it has now completely become a city located halfway up the Himalayas.
The most outrageous thing is that there is a high-speed railway here.
Schiller stood in the square in front of Kamar-Taj, staring blankly at the skytrain whizzing past his head: "Did it really pass over the top of the Himalayas?"
The Skytrain has a station at Kamar-Taj, but it does not stop, which means that only magicians can use magic to get off the train, and ordinary people can only watch.
But this is outrageous enough, because there is a protective shield outside Kamar-Taj, and there is a cloud layer about two kilometers thick outside the range. The visual effect presented is that the train has been shuttling through the clouds, and then suddenly, a mysterious magic temple complex flashes by. Schiller can hardly imagine how many people will check in.
Thinking that he might be photographed, Schiller hurried into the building. Wang came out to greet him enthusiastically, and Schiller looked around at the surrounding buildings. The entire hall was completely different.
When he arrived at Strange's office, Schiller gnashed his teeth. The originally dim Zen room had become a spacious, bright and gorgeous room with a strong magical atmosphere.
There is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows on the left, offering a panoramic view of the mountain road. The walls on the right and in front are covered with bookshelves. The magic staircase floats in the air, and behind the screen is a huge medicine cauldron. Various medicinal herbs and utensils float in the air. The desk floats above the meditation table, and the lampshade of the desk lamp on the desk is all hollow gold wire.
"Hiss..." Schiller took a breath. Did Strange pay for it or something? Why are all these furnitures made with krypton gold?
