"Saul, the Rainbow Bridge theory you told me yesterday doesn't hold water at all! Its foundation of formation doesn't conform to modern science … "
Jane waved the notebook in her hand and shouted at Saul, who had just woken up. However, she was choked by Saul's words.
"Midgardians, your so-called modern science, in my opinion, is simply ancient knowledge that should be thrown into the pile of old books."
Saul said arrogantly and disdainfully, "Even if my mother never praised my astrology when I was a child, I can see that your so-called knowledge is full of mistakes. From this point of view, you are indeed very powerful. With these wrong theories, you can develop civilization to this extent, but that's all."
He casually picked up the beer that Eric had bought for him, took a sip, and groaned comfortably.
"This wine is as light as water, but it's barely drinkable. Maybe I should introduce Loki to you. He's the master of astrology in Asgard. Of course, a woman like you might fall for his charm in a day. Loki is very good at dealing with women, hahahaha."
He wore a short-sleeved shirt and sat by the window. After laughing, he looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into silence again. He drank silently, his face full of unspeakable sadness. That scene made Jane, who was originally furious, couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? Saul. "
"I can't go back, Jane."
Saul didn't look back. He just stared blankly at the desert outside the window. He whispered, "I don't have a home.
"I don't have a home anymore. I contradicted my father. I called him a dotard. Oh my god, I shouldn't have said that to him. He loved me so much. And my mother, and my brother … I'm not going back anymore. I can't ride a pegasus in the Asgard Divine Realm anymore. I can't go hunting in the forest of Alfheim with Hogan. I can't go barbecue in the wild with Sif … Oh my god, I've lost everything."
Jane's expression was somewhat strange. Although in the past two days, Saul had been emphasizing that he was a prince from Asgard, to be honest, no one, including the crazy Daisy, believed him. They only knew that Saul was very rude, very good at fighting, and a very good drinker. However, last night, in order to protect Daisy, who was being molested by a drunkard, he demolished the only bar in the town, and no one drank with him anymore.
However, the consequence of this incident was that after Daisy and Erik bailed him out of the police station, he smoothly integrated into the group that was completely incompatible with him. Now, he was the security guard of the astronomical scientists Erik and Jane, and the person in charge of moving things when they went out to collect star maps.
Although Jane thought that Saul's mental state was a little abnormal, at least at this moment, the sincere feelings that burst out of Saul's body that could not be faked at all gave Jane a ridiculous and bold idea.
What if Saul … was telling the truth?
What if he really was … a prince of Asgard?
She looked down at the notebook in her hand. It was the schematic diagram of the Bifrost transmission that Saul had drawn for them after Erik had personally treated him to a drink and barbecue last night. He was very happy after drinking ten bottles of beer. At first glance, this thing looked like a carelessly packaged theory from a third-rate novel, but after Jane put aside all the scientific conclusions she knew, she unexpectedly found that this thing was internally self-consistent.
In other words, as long as she could accept Saul's specious astrological theory, this set of things could be perfectly self-consistent.
"You've just been exiled, Saul."
Jane was silent for a moment. She tried to comfort the strong man in front of her in a considerate way. "Being exiled means that your father has given you a chance to repent. Otherwise, he would have executed you directly. I think you should cheer up now. Didn't you say that they could see you? Then show them, let them see that you've already realized your mistake, let them know that you're changing, and then let them take you back. "
She waved her hands, took the beer from Saul's hand, threw it into the trash can, and put her hands on her hips.
"Instead of drinking and fighting every day, you should do what a prince should do …"
"Hmm? For example? "
Saul was not stupid. He was just too lazy to use his brain. In fact, anyone with power would have this problem more or less. For example, Saber was like this. All the problems he encountered could be solved with a hammer. Why did he need to use his brain?
"For example … for example, to help others."
Jane thought about it and came up with a terrible way of saying it. It was so clumsy that even she couldn't stand it.
But at this moment, the crazy girl Daisy rushed into the room and shouted to the two of them, "Hey, guys, why are you still here? Come on, someone found something in the desert. They're opening a bet. I've already signed up Prince Saul, who is as strong as a bull. The prize is a whole 40,000 yuan! We have something fun to do. "
At the same time, on the other side.
"So, this is your way?"
Strange looked at the scene that had almost become a desert gathering with a headache. He turned his head to look at the man in black beside him. Mr. Phil Coulson, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, reached out and pushed his glasses, saying with a smile on his face.
"Of course, the best way to find a person is never to search for it yourself. My Mr. Archmage, you have to find a way to let him come to you himself … It's only 40,000 yuan. The people here will spread the news. If the stowaway is still nearby, he will definitely jump out himself. After all, this is something from the same place as him …"
"But will S.H.I.E.L.D. let us do this?"
Strange sat in the car with a cup of tea and looked at the crowd outside the window. "Won't they be worried that the truth behind this matter will spread?"
"No, they can't wait for us to do this."
The former Level 8 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent showed a very deceptive smile. "Mr. Archmage, you have been isolated from the world for too long. You only use the old way to protect secrets. The popular way now is to put it in front of the people as it is. Those people will take the initiative to help you fabricate a lot of 'truths' that you can't even think of, and the real truth will be ignored by them because it's too plain. Believe me, we have always done this."
He picked up the coffee, looked around, and lowered his voice.
"And they are already here. They are hiding in the crowd. They are also looking for that person. Once he shows any clues, they will pounce on him and pin him down!"
Coulson was right. In the gathering of at least 400 people, Agent Sylvitt in a suit was inconspicuous, and the agents who came with him were hidden in the crowd, always paying attention to those who stood out from the crowd. In the center of the crowd, there was a black war hammer fixed on a stone. It seemed that as long as one reached out, they could take it off the stone.
An old man wearing sunglasses waved the money in his hand and shouted with a microphone.
"Try it once for five dollars! Whoever can lift it up will get a bonus of 40,000 dollars! "
Stacks of green US dollars were placed on the table next to him. He couldn't help but believe it. Humans were all greedy for small profits. Moreover, it wasn't expensive to try it once. Maybe he would get it?
People are often so full of strange confidence in themselves. They always think that they can do things that others can't do. So the people lining up to give money lined up several times around the war hammer. Everyone went up and rubbed their hands, but in the end, they all returned in disappointment.
Strange had already verified that this thing was directly fixed to the continental shelf by magic. In other words, unless one could destroy the continental shelf with a single blow, one could only obediently try using the mystical method. In other words, one would have to accept the test of the war hammer to see if it acknowledged one as its master.
And even if it is not fixed, this Mjolnir, Mjolnir, was forged in the core of a dead star. Its initial weight is dozens of tons. This is not something that ordinary people can lift.
"Director, I have tested it."
Glancing at the black war hammer from afar, the bald agent reported to Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was far away in New York, through his headset. "The material that makes up the war hammer does not exist in the periodic table of elements. It is weak radioactive, and the density of the war hammer exceeds any metal on earth. It is certain that it came from an alien planet. We are now monitoring New Mexico 24 hours a day to try to find its owner."
"Is it really like the legends say? That people who are not recognized can't lift it at all?"
Fury was also a little curious. Sylvitt said with certainty, "Yes, last night, we tried it with military armored vehicles. Even if three armored vehicles started at the same time, there was no way to move it. This is no longer a matter of pure weight. Chief, according to the explanation of Kamar-Taj's magician, this thing is fixed by magic. People who are not recognized by it can't move it at all. It is completely useless to us. Even if we use the sharpest laser knife, we can't cut off even a trace of material."
"Well … Then keep monitoring. Agent Sylvitt, stay there for two days. If there is no progress, return to New York. The advancement of Operation Insight needs someone to preside over it."
"Yes, Director!"
Just as Agent Sylvitt made the call, Daisy drove Saul and Jane to the event site. There were too many people, so they could only stand in the car and watch. This action did not attract attention because people around them were doing the same thing.
People, no matter where they came from, had the habit of watching. The more people there were, the more people there would be watching.
"Look, that's it! The hammer embedded in the rock! "
Daisy handed the mini binoculars in her hand to Jane and pointed in the direction of the hammer. "They said they found it a few days ago. Nothing can move it. Then, some busybody organized this competition. The prize money quickly increased from 500 dollars to 40,000 dollars. Saul, if you can move it a little, the 40,000 dollars will be ours!"
Daisy waved her hand excitedly. She patted Saul's strong chest. "I have never seen a guy with more strength than you."
However, Saul did not have his trademark smile. He could not help but clench his fists.
"Saul, what's wrong?"
Jane was keenly aware that something was wrong with Saul. The strong man exuded a strange temperament. She asked, "Do you know that?"
"That's Mjolnir! My warhammer … the symbol of my identity! "
Saul was awakened. He hugged Jane and spun around in the car with joy, causing the girl to scream. Saul put Jane down and said loudly, "You're right, Jane. My father didn't give up on me. That's the chance he left for me … I'm going to pull it out. I'm going to return to Asgard!"
With that, he jumped down, intending to rush directly into the crowd, but Jane stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive! Saul! "
Jane whispered, "Not now!"
"Why!"
Saul looked anxiously at the warhammer close at hand. He whispered, "Why not now?"
"There are mortals here, Saul. Do you want to make yourself known to everyone? If your father is watching all of this, he certainly doesn't want this matter to become too big, and … most importantly! "
Jane did not know why she stopped Saul, but she was a smart woman. She quickly thought of an explanation. She said in Saul's ear.
"Are you going to admit your mistake in front of these mortals? Admit that you are a failure in front of so many people? "
This sentence had a miraculous effect on the arrogant alien prince. He immediately nodded.
"You're right, Jane. The majesty of the Asgardian gods must be maintained … Then we'll come back at night. Anyway, it's there. It's impossible for mortals to lift my warhammer. Only my father and I can lift that thing."
Saul happily got into the car. Under the command of Jane, who was relieved, and Daisy, who was unhappy, they returned to the town. But in a place where he did not notice, several pairs of eyes had noticed this guy who was different from the people on Earth.
