Chapter 1367 The Mystery of the Feast (Seventeen)

"You mean, Queen Shia may have come to visit Charles? What did the two of them talk about?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I want to know too." The Eye of Agamotto in Strange's hand gradually lit up, and he said with a smile: "Even if the two of them have an old relationship, they probably won't have sex on the first night of their reunion, so There is probably nothing inappropriate for children, we can go see it with our own eyes.”

After saying that, the light of the Time Stone enveloped several people. The time in Asgard changed from night to day, and then from day to night again. When Schiller landed, he looked out the window again and saw the Shi'ar Empire again. The bright glow of the engines as the spaceship lands.

A group of people walked out of the spaceship and spread a carpet on the ground. Asgard's honor guard stopped on the opposite side of the carpet. Thor stepped forward and took the lead in lightly beating his chest with his fist, and walked out of the spaceship. Lilandra came down, holding the feathers on her temples with her right hand and bending her knees slightly.

The two parties greeted each other with the etiquette of their own countries, and then entered the fairy palace side by side. Several shadows stood on the balcony. Strange blinked and said: "It seems that after the queen came to Asgard, she ended the official The first thing after the meeting was to go find Charles.”

"Okay, I know they may be in true love, but even if Professor Charles is single, isn't the Queen already married?" Wanda frowned, her expression looking a little tangled.

Miss Witch's age means that she still believes in pursuing true love, but at the same time, her moral values ​​also prevent her from accepting cheating within marriage, so she feels a little frightened, fearing that she may hear someone later. Some words that break Professor Charles’ filter.

But the expressions of Strange and Schiller were very calm. Not to mention that things might not be that simple. Even if the Queen really planned to rekindle her old relationship with Charles, they would not ask the aliens based on human morality. Maybe other people’s views on marriage and relationships are completely different?

Soon, several shadows slipped onto the balcony where they had been before, which was a good place to listen to the corner.

Schiller understood that Charles would not activate his mind-reading ability at will in Asgard. This was not because Professor If you are unaware, you will be in big trouble if you are discovered. Professor x will not take such a risk.

Therefore, a few people were particularly confident. They all stretched their necks and looked into the window of the opposite room. Sure enough, not long after, a cluster of bright feathers appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"What are they talking about?" Rocket Raccoon, who was held in Schiller's arms, asked in confusion. He only saw the mouths of the two people in the opposite window moving, but could not hear any sounds.

"Queen Shia cast a sound-blocking magic and asked me to see if I can crack it... It's not good. I can't make a big move here, otherwise I will be discovered. Otherwise, we pause time and go into the guest room to hide. ?”

"Get out of the way and let me do it." The Scarlet Witch shook her head, and Strange took a decisive step back. Wanda stepped forward, a red light flashed in her hand, and soon intermittent sounds reached where several people were.

"...I'm afraid I really need your help, Charles. You should understand me. If the situation hadn't been extremely critical, I wouldn't have been so anxious to come here and find you!"

"Of course, I understand, Leland, don't mention the past anymore. When we were still young, we had too many unnecessary quarrels, but now it seems that they are just making a fuss."

Charles sighed, showed a sad expression, and said: "Actually, I am also very worried about the situation of the Shi'a Empire. When I was still in the Mengyu Palace, I saw that the nobles were smiling and hiding their swords. Once the Shi'a Empire was in chaos, It will not be beneficial to the situation of the universe at all, and too many innocent creatures will be killed, which is what we don’t want to see. "

"That's why, Charles, you should help me." Lilandra walked closer to Charles. Charles, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at her. Lilandra's eyes were shining with tears.

"For so many years, I have no relatives in the Mengyu Palace. My brother's remaining forces have been trying to shake my throne. The nobles are unwilling to make progress. They even think that my brother's decision was right. They think that as long as they can Once the power of the m'kraan crystal is fully developed, they can remain at the top of the three empires forever."

Lilandra's tone became increasingly sad, and she continued: "The economic policies I proposed to improve national life and resist the invasion of the other two empires were all blocked by them and could not be implemented at all."

"Now, they have revived the idea of ​​m'kraan crystal and want to use that big bomb that could destroy the universe again to create a second big portal."

"The gods were blinded by the possibility of power, and my stupid husband was also bewitched by power. Charles, I really can't think of anyone else who can help me except you."

Charles stretched out his hand and gently touched the feathers on the back of Lilandra's head. He looked into Lilandra's eyes and said, "I think you should understand that mutants can help you once or twice, but they can't help you." You forever."

"I hope you can come back, Charles." Lilandra's tone began to become trembling as she said, "The days we spent together in the Mengyu Palace were the happiest time in my life."

"You have to calm down, Lilandra, now is not the time to talk about feelings, the Shi'ar Empire is still pointing at you." Charles retracted his hand, looked into Lilandra's eyes, and reassured.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lilandra's eyes. She took a step back slightly, then turned around and walked to the chair opposite Charles to sit down.

She picked up the cup and took a sip of water and said: "Perhaps you also know that the m'kraan crystal is not a Shi'a sacred object at all. It originally belonged to a race called m'kraan and has nothing to do with the Shi'a twin gods and the Mengyu tribe. relation."

"But generations of brainwashing have made the nobles of the Mengyu tribe really think that this is a sacred object given to Shi'a by the gods, so we should get great power from it."

"This group of people is more stupid than my brother. Mad King Deken knows that the so-called holy objects are just tools. The craziest thing he does is to use living creatures to conduct various experiments, but these nobles seem to be really Reverend the m'kraan crystal as a god, and even want to offer sacrifices to the m'kraan crystal in exchange for the mercy of the great power."

"Do the two gods of Xi'an care about this?" Charles asked with a frown.

"This is the key point. The two gods of Shia have nothing to do with the m'kraan crystal." Leland stretched out a hand to cover his eyes and said: "Our great gods seem to want the m'kraan crystal even more. Without their connivance, the nobles would not have reached this point."

"The magic that can create a spiritual connection with other things is my talent. When I was very young, I had a spiritual connection with the Shia gods and the m'kraan crystal."

Lilandra showed a look of recollection and said in a serious tone: "So, when others worshiped God without knowing the truth, I knew that they were just more powerful creatures in the universe."

"When I had a spiritual connection with the m'kraan crystal, I discovered that it was not a sacred object, but the first star at the birth of the universe. The center of the m'kraan crystal hides the door to other universes. ”

"But that is actually a trap." Lilandra shook her head with a painful look on her face and said, "Anyone who wants to use the power inside the m'kraan crystal is destined to be destroyed. This is why I object to anyone touching it. The reason for touching it is not that I don’t want that kind of power, I just don’t dare.”

"Leland, I know you are afraid of the m'kraan crystal, but if you want to solve the problems within the Shi'ar Empire, I'm afraid you really have to start with this crystal."

Lilandra raised her eyes and looked at Charles. Charles shook his head and said, "I'm not telling you to study the crystal and then use its power to deal with the nobles. But if this so-called Shi'ar holy object stays in the Shi'ar Empire for one day, then There is no end to the greed of those in the know.”

"I think you should destroy the m'kraan crystal." Charles said firmly.

Lilandra opened her mouth wide, and she stared at Charles blankly, as if she didn't believe he would say this, but suddenly, she seemed a little embarrassed again, because she found herself hesitating.

"But...but..."

"You're reluctant to let go, right?" Charles looked at Lilandra with his usual gentle expression, but his tone became more aggressive.

"In fact, in your heart, you also regard the m'kraan crystal as a property of the Shi'ar Empire and as part of the power of the Shi'ar Empire. You also think that it may become a powerful weapon for the Shi'ar Empire, and in the fight against The last resort when it comes to other empires."

"Lilandra, this is the biggest reason why you are still friendless after so many years. You oppose certain things, but you do not oppose them completely. You agree with certain things, but you dare not fully agree. You avoid taking extreme measures. Put off urgent matters as long as you can, and then wait until you can’t put it off any longer before looking to others.”

"Perhaps, being caught in the middle and not being favored at all has made you develop the habit of being cautious in your words and actions, and not offending either party. It's okay as a princess, but not as an emperor."

Wanda outside the window was completely stunned. He had never seen such an aggressive Professor X, but Schiller shook his head and did not show surprise.

In fact, any good psychiatrist knows how to poke at other people's pain points and how to use words to break the other person's defenses. Professor meeting.

"Charles!" Lilandra gritted her teeth and called out Charles' name in an angry and panic tone. She stood up from the table, looked at Charles with red eyes and said, "I thought you would understand me. of!"

Lilandra took a deep breath and said as if she had lost her mind: "Yes, yes, I am an unpopular second princess, but so what? Didn't I ascend to the throne in the end?! "

Lilandra blinked rapidly, her lips kept trembling, and she shook her head very slightly, even the feathers on the back of her head swayed slightly.

"What happened to the eldest princess who is famous all over the universe?" Lilandra gasped and sneered, "Did she defeat Odin?! Did she seize the throne? Wasn't she defeated by Odin in the end? Imprisoned in the deserted country of death, she can only watch her brother ascend to the throne, but she is not even qualified to attend the wedding!"

Lilandra trembled and closed her eyes, and the scenes of defense kept replaying in her mind.

Every child born in the royal family has the heart to ascend to the throne. Once upon a time, Lilandra was not the inconspicuous and cowardly second princess. She also had ambitions and had even taken action.

But Hela's tragedy dealt her a head-on blow. The legendary eldest princess, who was the only heir to Asgard and once glorious, ended up with a failed rebellion and lifelong imprisonment.

So what about her? She is an ordinary princess who is neither the eldest son nor as favored as the youngest son?

Indeed, for so many years, Lilandra has lived cautiously. If it weren't for saving her life, she would not have spoken out to her brother directly, but this only rebellion allowed her to win the throne.

Perhaps the throne came too easily. Without pain, there would be no growth. It is easy to change a country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. Lilandra herself knows that her cautious words and deeds over the years have changed her personality. She is not a tyrant who can make arbitrary decisions, and she does not even have the decisiveness that an ordinary monarch should have.

Being exposed by her old lover so bluntly, Lilandra's heart was filled with anger. She thought, if Hela was not too dazzling, how could she appear so cowardly?

She gritted her teeth and looked at Charles and said, "It would be better if the eldest princess could appear at the wedding banquet! I want to see, now that she has no throne and no army, what can she rely on to be arrogant?!"

"So what if she has been in the universe for many years? In the end, she was imprisoned by Odin?" Lilandra sneered and said, "I dare say that this is the most correct decision made by the father of the gods."

"It's over." Schiller said outside the window.

Everyone turned to look at him, but Schiller's eyes fell on the raven that had just taken off from the pine branches outside Charles' guest room window.
