"This lady came in without my permission. I'm sorry, Jason. Do you need me to ask her to leave?" The female staff in charge of reception said apologetically.
"Forget it, I know her." Li Jie waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem and asked the receptionist to leave.
"Well, who are you?" Li Jie looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously from Asgard.
"Valkyrie, Asgard's Valkyrie." Thor's face twitched as he introduced the woman on behalf of the Valkyrie.
"Yes, just as Thor said." Valkyrie nodded.
This woman's image does have the demeanor of a Valkyrie. Although she is very beautiful, she has a heroic spirit. She wore a very well-fitting suit, looking smart and capable.
"So, Valkyrie, why did you come to Earth?" Li Jie leaned helplessly on his chair. Does Asgard really regard this place as Asgard's foothold on Earth?
It seems that the decision to take over the Thor brothers was the worst decision of his life.
"Naturally, it's for Thor." Valkyrie's expression was calm, but she looked at Thor with a playful expression. "Odin is very angry that you came down to Earth without permission. Loki was also implicated because of you and was put in prison."
"How is Loki?" Hearing the news that Loki was imprisoned by Odin, Thor stood up and asked with some excitement.
Should this be considered brotherly love? Li Jie looked at Thor and thought to himself.
"I've been in that prison. It's not a good feeling." Thor felt uncomfortable when he thought of the place where he was locked up by Odin.
Cold cellar, bitter alkaline water, food with only a few black bread a day, and he could only sleep on haystacks.
Thor's days in that prison were very difficult, so he couldn't help but think of Loki. Loki couldn't bear this kind of hardship.
"Don't worry, Loki's life is good." Speaking of Loki's prison, the Valkyrie's face twitched.
How was that a prison? It was clearly a luxuriously decorated bedroom. Loki had actually woven such a luxurious thing like the golden wool into a carpet.
There were many goddesses in Asgard who wanted to own a coat made of golden wool but couldn't.
That damn Loki actually trampled on such a good thing, and so extravagantly woven such a big piece.
It was unknown how many goddesses who were proud of their golden wool coats would feel after knowing that Loki had casually stepped on their treasured golden wool coats.
Perhaps Loki was really born to be incompatible with the Asgardian gods.
"And the Mother of the Gods has pleaded on Loki's behalf. He has now left the prison." Valkyrie's words made Thor breathe a sigh of relief.
Thor didn't know that his brother wasn't suffering in prison at all. Instead, he got a good job.
"That's good. Is Loki still in Asgard?" Thor was still very concerned about Loki.
"That's all. I'm here to tell you about this." The Valkyrie looked at Thor and said in a mocking tone. It seemed that Thor's relationship with the many goddesses of Asgard was indeed very ordinary.
"Malekith has a tendency to invade the Elven Kingdom. The vanguard is some Frost Giants." The news brought by the Valkyrie was not good news.
However, Asgard's war was too far away from Earth. Li Jie was now listening to the Valkyrie's latest news as if he was listening to a story.
"The Elven Queen has asked Asgard for help. If the dark elves and the Frost Giants join forces, the Elven Kingdom's forces will not be able to resist their attack."
"This is really not good news. Is Asgard ready to fight? "Thor was a little excited when it came to war. He liked to wear armor and hold a giant axe. The thrill of charging and killing the enemy.
"The first batch of troops has begun to be stationed in the Elven Kingdom. Asgard will never ignore its allies. You know this, Thor." The Valkyrie gave an affirmative answer.
"I have to go back to Asgard. I have to go back. The army needs a commander. How can I not participate in the war with the dark elves and the Frost Giants? "Thor couldn't wait to return to Asgard right now.
Since many years ago, Odin had not put on a battle robe to fight in the north and south.
Asgard's war for so many years had been led by Thor. His repeated victories had established him high prestige in Asgard.
This was also Odin paving the way for Thor to inherit his throne.
"No, I said, Thor, you have not been recruited into Asgard yet." The Valkyrie stretched out her hand and pushed Thor, who had stood up and was about to rush out, back to the table and chair.
"You still have to stay in the Midland for a while. The seal Odin gave you won't take the initiative to lift. If you still don't understand what you lack, I guess you can only stay in the Midland in the future."
"Then, who will lead the army?" Thor asked in the chair.
"Loki." There was a smile on the Valkyrie's face. "Now Loki is the joint commander of Asgard and the Elven Kingdom."
"He will command this war. More than 30,000 of the most elite warriors and elves in the divine realm will be under his command." When the Valkyrie talked about Loki's command, the jealousy of Loki wasting the Golden Fleece instantly disappeared.
Instead, there was more admiration on her face, and the tone of her voice became more stable.
"Loki? No, he can't. He has never fought a hard battle. Every time I fight in a war, I'm always at the front. "Thor refuted this decision without even thinking about it.
"Loki has only participated in battles as my deputy. He has never commanded the overall situation alone."
Thor seemed to be very confident in his achievements, but Li Jie did not believe that war could be solved by pure brute force.
Although Thor was a god, don't forget that his opponent was also a god.
Li Jie crossed his legs and rested his chin on his hand, ready to see what the Valkyrie would say next. He felt that Thor was unlucky today.
"Loki has no ability?" The Valkyrie heard Thor's words as if she had heard a big joke. "No, no, no." She said no three times in a row.
"Thor, you overestimate yourself." The Valkyrie's smile made Thor a little uncomfortable.
"Loki has commanded the warriors to fight against the servants of the dark elves at the border." The Valkyrie's words revealed that Loki had begun to truly command the battle.
"Loki has a beautiful battle. Although it doesn't look hot-blooded and can't boost the morale of the army without the commander's leadership," the Valkyrie said, referring to Thor's usual fighting style.
"But Loki fought beautifully in this battle. We only lost 25 people, but annihilated nearly 3,000 dark elven servants." The casualty ratio of the Valkyrie was simply shocking.
"Cool!" Li Jie could not help but exclaim. Loki seemed to be really talented. Whether it was strategy or strategy, he seemed to be better than Thor.
"This, this is impossible." Thor still found it hard to believe.
"Face the reality seriously, Thor. We now know how you won those battles," the Valkyrie said faintly.
"You like to charge and break through enemy lines. All Asgardian einherjars like to charge and break through enemy lines. There's nothing wrong with that. We are all warriors, and warriors should not retreat. We should obey orders and move forward bravely."
"But Thor, don't forget, you are also a commander. And also the future king of Asgard. You can't be like us einherjars. You are proficient in fighting, but you can't just be proficient in fighting. Fighting is not all that a good leader should have. "
"In this aspect, Loki is much better than you, I bet. In your previous battles, if Loki hadn't been your deputy to help you clean up the mess, many Asgardian warriors would have died on the battlefield. "The Valkyrie's words became cold towards the end.
"Under his command, we are confident that we can give the dark elves the cruelest blow at the lowest cost and let them know the majesty of Asgard."
"Loki is much better than you, Thor. Accept the reality that you are not a good leader or even a good warrior. Until now, you can't even pick up Thor's hammer. Only Loki still has the Sword of Truth. "The Valkyrie's words were cruel.
It was like a heavy hammer constantly pounding on Thor's heart.
Li Jie looked at Thor. Now, the once high-spirited Thor was a little depressed. He had always been proud of his undefeated fighting career.
But today, the Valkyrie's words shattered Thor's pride and confidence. Loki is better than me? Yes, he's smarter, better at tricks and strategies.
But Thor always thought that he was the one who led Asgard to victory, but today, everything seemed to be broken.
It turned out that the Asgardian army might be better without Thor and Thor. Loki was the best commander of this army.
Li Jie looked at Thor's devastated look, pursed his lips and shook his head. He didn't want to get involved in the love and hatred between Thor and his brother. It was very dangerous.
"So, Lady Valkyrie, are you here today to take Thor to live somewhere else?" Li Jie now only hoped that the Valkyrie would take Thor away from him.
With Thor by his side, Li Jie didn't feel safe at all.
"Hello, friendly Midgardian. I've heard of your name from Loki. "The Valkyrie smiled and didn't answer Li Jie's question. Instead, she changed the topic.
This gave Li Jie an ominous feeling.
"Maybe I'll have to trouble you for a while while I'm in the Midgardian. You know we're not familiar with each other here." As expected, Li Jie sighed.
"But Loki said that you'll feel embarrassed if I trouble you for a long time." Ah, so Asgardians can feel embarrassed too. Li Jie thought they were all thick-skinned.
"So, Loki asked me to bring you a gift as a reward for taking care of Thor in the Midgardian." Well, I like what you said. At least I won't be working for free.
But what would Loki give me? I can't remember what other specialty Asgard has other than hammers. Could it be a hammer? Li Jie thought.
"The gift is here." Li Jie only now noticed that the Valkyrie came with a box. The box wasn't big, about a meter long and long.
Could it really be a two-handed hammer? No, I refuse this weapon. Li Jie didn't want this kind of thing.
"Loki said you're also a warrior, so I'll give you a special weapon." Here it comes! So it's still a hammer.
"This is a weapon made by the best dwarven craftsmen and blessed by elven mages." So it's a very powerful hammer?
"It's made of rare Uru alloy, tempered by the flames of death, and integrated with a small lightning pool as the core." Sounds like a very powerful hammer.
"Finally, the elven and dwarven masters engraved the runes together to create this blade." Hmm, it's really a hammer.
Something's not right, Li Jie said. "What did you say? Not a hammer?"
"Why a hammer?" The Valkyrie was puzzled. "If you prefer a hammer as a weapon, it may take some time. We need to reforge this blade."
"No, I like a blade, not a hammer." Li Jie quickly said. It's better to leave the hammer to Thor.
Li Jie had no love for hammers, even if it was the Mjolnir of the God of Thunder. As long as he held it in his hand, he would always want to find a hot piece of iron and knock it.
The Valkyrie put the box she brought on Li Jie's desk.
Bang! A loud noise. The small box had a disproportionate weight to its size.
The sturdy oak table creaked and groaned, as if it couldn't bear the weight.
Opening the box, he saw a simple and unadorned long saber lying inside. Uru alloy, as the best magic metal of Asgardian, had a plain appearance that didn't match its reputation.
The gray color was not pleasing to the eye, even Mjolnir, which was also made of Uru alloy, was the same.
The shape of the blade was between a traditional machete and a Middle Eastern machete. The blade had a certain curve, but it wasn't very curved. The spine of the blade was obviously strengthened, very suitable for hacking.
There was nothing special about the dull gray blade. Li Jie couldn't tell what material it was made of because it didn't have any decorations on it. It looked like it was also gray, but a little darker.
The hilt was made of wood, but it was still a wood that Li Jie didn't recognize.
But the Valkyrie next to him explained. "The hilt was made from the fallen branches of the World Tree. It's an excellent magic material. Many mages like to use it to make magic staffs."
The more he listened, the more he felt that the blade's grade was high. Although Li Jie didn't understand why Loki gave him this weapon, Li Jie still wanted to pick it up and play with it.
The blade was only 110 centimeters long, but it was unusually heavy. Li Jie estimated that it might be more than 200 kilograms, maybe 300 kilograms.
No wonder it almost collapsed the table when it was thrown onto it.
But holding it in his hand, Li Jie didn't find anything special about the blade other than its weight. He asked the Valkyrie with his eyes.
"You need to use energy to activate the weapon." The Valkyrie roughly understood the meaning of Li Jie's eyes.
Well, the Valkyrie just said that there's a small lightning pool in the blade? Li Jie decided to try it by channeling his purple lightning energy into the blade.
When the purple lightning energy flowed into the blade, the originally gray blade seemed to be activated in an instant. A huge electric current spread out from the blade.
The Valkyrie seemed to know what would happen when Li Jie tested the blade for the first time. She crushed a piece of crystal engraved by the elven mage. A magic shield formed around Li Jie so that the electric current would no longer overflow.
The powerful energy that erupted from the blade was far beyond Li Jie's imagination. After being forged by the dwarves and blessed by the elven mage, the blade was also infused with a small lightning pool as its core.
Although it wasn't as powerful as Thor's Hammer, which was infused with an entire star, it still gave Li Jie an indescribable sense of shock.
However, the shock that the blade brought to Li Jie was still indescribable. When the power of the blade continued to surge and flow into Li Jie's body, Li Jie felt like his entire body was about to explode. He had never felt so powerful before.
[Found an A-class item. A blade made of Uru alloy, the World Tree, and a lightning pool. Can be exchanged for special points. Would the host like to exchange?]
The system, which had been silent for a long time, appeared again. This time, it seemed that it wanted Li Jie to sell the blade. But Li Jie wasn't that stupid. If he sold the blade to the system, he wouldn't be able to find a second one.
[Lightning Pool Blade is classified as an A-class item. Magic energy continuously feeds back to the host to strengthen the host's energy. The host's rating has been increased to C +.]
As Li Jie held the blade and began to receive its power, the system gave its evaluation.
[Energy feedback continues to increase. The host's rating has been increased to B-.] After a while.
[Energy continues to increase. The host's rating has been increased to B] Now, Li Jie felt that his body was about to be filled to the brim with energy from the blade.
[Energy level has reached the host's upper limit. The host's rating has been increased to B +. The host is advised not to receive any more energy feedback.]
At that moment, Li Jie felt like his body was about to explode. He had no idea how to turn off the blade's energy feedback, and he couldn't seem to put the blade down.
It stuck to his hand like glue. He couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried. Just as Li Jie felt like his body was about to explode, the energy feedback from the blade suddenly calmed down.
It stopped there, no longer strengthening Li Jie's body.
The system's rating for Li Jie also stabilized at B +.
"It's incredible. This weapon is unbelievably powerful." Li Jie exclaimed while holding the blade.
He had already adapted to the powerful energy in his body. He tried to swing the blade inside the magic shield. Every time he swung the blade, purple lightning would appear.
This kind of lightning attracted the attention of the Valkyrie. Even Thor, who was still depressed just now, forgot about his depression and looked at the purple arc seriously.
However, it was obviously not a good idea to test such a powerful weapon in his office. Fortunately, the Valkyrie was prepared beforehand.
Otherwise, his company would have been destroyed by his own electricity. Li Jie was a little scared. He seemed to have been a little reckless just now.
It was obvious that the power of the saber had yet to be fully unleashed. However, even so, Li Jie's ability had been forcibly raised from an ordinary C class to a B + class.
This was simply a leap in power. But there was also a disadvantage. The blade seemed to only be able to increase the power of the Purple Thunder, which caused a serious energy imbalance in Li Jie's body.
When holding the blade, he could only use Nine Purple Thunderstrikes. This could be considered as the blade controlling the person, not the person controlling the blade. Li Jie thought to himself. It seemed that the only way for him to truly improve his own strength was to reach [B +] rank at the very least. Only then would he be able to truly control the full power of this war blade. Li Jie could feel that there was still power left within the blade.
When Li Jie put down the saber, the boundless energy that was like the sea instantly disappeared from his body.
It felt like he had suddenly come ashore after soaking in the pool for an hour. His body instantly became very heavy.
[After leaving the Thunder Pool Blade, the host's rating fell back to C. This incident tells us that cheats will be banned one day.]
